Real Urban Survival Tales, Prechoes of 1907

What got me to thinking about this (again) was the story about how a “Woman Found Alive After Being Stranded For One Month in New Zealand Mountains.” Interesting read. There are other stories which will be spawning Survival stories to come, from efforts such as the Rescuers digging for survivors of Italy’s earthquake as death … Read More

Coping: A Bothersome Philadelphia Experiment Data Point

I’m spending too much time in my lab lately. Yeah, still working on gravity/anti-gravity theories and the like. But now I’m vexed by a bothersome data point that popped out of my work just yesterday. This takes a little explaining…because it is not the simplest stuff in the world. So here goes… I was reviewing … Read More

The Coming Global Bail-Ins

Yep.  Not before the elections, though.   Just waiting for Obama II (Hillary) to make it into office and then all signs point to a meltdown in early 2w016 because the Fed won’t have any choice but to raise rates – which will blow up the national debt,  or they will stand par and the world … Read More

Ure’s Forecast Right Again…Duh

Power breakfast aboard (turkey croissant sand.. and half bowl of chili) I am ready to face a harsh reality: I quit my long position in the QQQ’s yesterday instead of waiting for this morning. Not that I lost money, or anything stupid like that. I didn’t.  Made money even after commish. But the futures were … Read More

Coping: Prepping for the Zombie Apocalypse

“You’re WHAT?” IN so many words, my most normal daughter was telling be she and her spouse would be heading to Las Vegas to take part in a Zombie Apocalypse Tactical Op Training Session. Oh, one of those… I tried to sound hip but it wasn’t going very well at all. With good reason, too. … Read More

Decline, Rally, Holiday

We’re working in the wrong business – that is, if you happen to work in the private sector, like I do. That’s because in the FedGov, employees get 10 holidays per year. Those of us schmoes in the private sector are lucky to get five. And this is before federal employees count “compensatory time” – … Read More

Coping: With Peace, Quiet, and Earthquakes

Depending on your coffee load, you may (or may not) remember my mentioning last week that I had the “earthquake tireds.” For whatever reason, I am one of those people who is very sensitive to earthquakes in advance. I get terribly tired and all I want to do is go back to bed and sleep. … Read More

Sunday Schooling: The Mush-head American’s Prez Primer

With a “shock poll” out showing Donald Trump is back up in the polls and inside the margin of error, we see this weekend pervasive signs that the liberal attack dogs have been set lose.  They are desperate trying to find some way – hell any way – to hold on to the Gravy Train … Read More

A Weak-End Rant: Here Come the Zombie Demo-Goons

Free speech?  Pahleeze… Not something the anti-Trump people seem the least bit interested in. Witness the report about how Trump donors were spit on and such. Meantime, the MSM Trump=-haters, like the Washington Post are tripping over themselves to say the worst possible things about Trump trying to address black people’s issues. Yet here is … Read More

Monetizing Your Butt

Nope, we’re not going for the all-time crudeness award here. What we are doing is putting a new phenomena under the microscope to prove 8-billion people loose in the world don’t have anything else to do other than make-up new and exciting ways to take money from you. This is the stuff big government and,  … Read More

OK, So Obama Lies…What About Tax Returns?

Wasn’t it just a week ago that we of  the non-MSM press was being raked over the coals for pointing out that the payment of $400 million to Iran was paying for hostages? “Oh, no, no…” said the apologists for President Useless. Yet now, here we have the Obama administration via stooges at State admitting … Read More

Coping: Two Serious Prepping Notes and Off the Hook

Our first serious prepping note is thanks to my darling wife. While we were on vacation, she was driving and misjudged a turn into the carport where we were staying.  No damage to the carport, but a $1,200 ding in the old Lex. Problem:  While the dealership in Ft. Worth could have had the job, … Read More

Bonds vs. Stock: Sometimes headlines Matter

A buddy of mine – and a bond-dude here in Texas in a big city that gets a lot of raise and has stupid-high property taxes – has been a wee bit skeptical of something I have been forecasting for months. Yet here we is:  Bonds going nowhere and stock at new record highs. Means … Read More
