Those insolent left-winger/anarchists tore up the Berkeley campus last night. With chants of “No border, No Nation, F**K Deportation” the latest lefty-outburst set off firebombs and went off campus to continue raising hell. Their motivation? A speaking gig by this guy – let’s Wiki him, OK? “Milo Yiannopoulos (born 18 October 1984) is a Greek-born … Read More

Not sure how conversant you are with the term but this morning we look at how we sink into the quicksand of humankind’s relationship with machines. We will start in a very old elevator and somehow end up in what pilots call “the flight levels.” And along the way, we will see some very difficult … Read More

Hot of the press release: “NEW YORK, January 31, 2017 – S&P Dow Jones Indices today released the latest results for the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices, the leading measure of U.S. home prices. Data released today for November 2016 shows that home prices continued their rise across the country over the last 12 months. More … Read More

My run-in Monday morning with the troll-like comments about Ure’s truly – and a very thoughtful reply by Oilman2, who as you might expect is a friend, got me to thinking I should do a lot more explaining about what real UrbanSurvival thinking is all about. Oh, sure, it will come into focus as you … Read More

Say what? First Br?hma?a: The World as a Sacrificial Horse, of course! We at last arrive this week at the “real” first actions of the Trump administration. As we’ve been pointing out for weeks, the President doesn’t get to “make up” laws. To be sure, there was a lot of confusion when Trump in recent … Read More

Sheesh! First thing in my face this morning were some of the most insulting comments ever received from a Texas reader, I’m embarrassed to say. Whether they were actually posted by a government-paid “troll” (which really do exist, using multiple personality software developed 10+years back) remains to be seen. At any rate, the insults were … Read More

As readers know, I am a huge fan of equality. This week especially, since there has been mostly nothing but a parade of Trump bashing on the mainstream media and it’s been old since the election which the die-hards on the left can seem to accept they lost. But there are other targets for the … Read More

The hand-wringing is so intense this morning I feel like I should be passing out cans of Burt’s Bees Hand Salve.  Politico warns us of “How Trump wall could beckon global trade war…” Over at the NY Times they claim “Tax Plan Sows Confusion as Tensions With Mexico Soar.” The Washington Post looks at the matter … Read More

What is the “Light Crown Project?” Yeah, let’s start there… As I explained in the December 28 Coping section “That report outlined some curious historical evidence that I had both discovered and intuited by reading a lot of history and, because of my wife Elaine’s experience with a cutting edge photo biomodulation technique for treatment … Read More

Damnedest thing I ever saw. And after almost 68-years that’s going a good bit. While the Trump-bashing continues unabated by the left-wing media, let’s do a simple thought-experiment to see how sane these people are. The election was held on November 8th. We give two people $1,000 each and tell them to go invest it. … Read More

With the Trump administration signing off on the Wall with Mexico this morning, we look at the problems of Mexico more broadly this morning. While the Wall is certainly a short-term solution, it seems to us that a tighter wall will simply increase the narco-collapse of Mexico.  I expect within five years or less, we … Read More
