Several items in the ponder-pile today – thinking pieces all: My buddy Gaye who writes StrategicLivingBlog.com has a dandy post on the rampant, runaway, nonsensical divisiveness that the Digital Mob Rule types are using to bring down historical (balanced) America and replace it with their version of socialism they’re all after. The Idiocracy I think … Read More
We begin our shortened report this morning with a look at how Digital Mob Rule and the Digisurrection are being programmed into our future. The grand-standing efforts of leftist darling Alex Cortez, for example, leading the sycophant east coast press around by their noses, resulted in claims being made that illegal aliens in U.S. government custody were … Read More
We find ourselves asking a very interesting question today, with headlines like “Trump Ordered Attack – Then Pulled Back!” which we’ve tracked back to a NY Times story “Trump Approves Strikes on Iran, but Then Abruptly Pulls Back.” In our (cynical) view, this looks like another swipe at the presidency by the too-liberal, too-anti-Trump, too-open-border NY … Read More
We start off with the ultra short course on survival gardening today because it could become an important issue one day. If You Don’t Have a Green Thumb, read on: Lots of people tell us they don’t have one. We usually beg to differ. There is a simple checklist that can keep you out of … Read More
Big report today: Well over 5,000 words plus 29 graphics so it may load a bit slow… What we have is a complete step-by-step on how to put in some home deep water culture (DWC) hydroponics and a big discussion in the chart section about whether the G-20 is driving global stock prices, or whether … Read More
Got to say, with the unrelenting censorship of views on a certain large social(ist) media platform, a lot of moderately conservative types to conservative liberal types can be found here freely discussing a lot of interesting topics. Invasion by Mexico, them wanting states back (Revolcion 3.0) and the ICE dumpings in cities that are far … Read More
It’s the time of year when we should spend some time focusing on the important things in life…like having fun!!! Christmas is coming, but what is the “right” kind of present? The theory is that people need “time to re-create.” So, the notion of “re-creation” which drops the hyphen to become recreation. Since a lot … Read More
This is National Shopping Disease Day which follows turkeys around, near as we can figure. It’s the day when dumb people shop. I like to think things through “logically, Captain.” And spending money today – while gratifying for some – is about the dumbest display of herd mentality we’ve seen second to Bitcoin which dipped … Read More
The longwave economics view brings many terrible thoughts to mind. It’s like standing at the shoreline, sometimes, watching the tide come in. Then realizing it’s a tsunami. Amidst the odd machinations of the news lately, we are reminded of a huge story lurking behind the headlines. Namely that America has some exceptional drought impacts evolving. … Read More
A week or so back, Elaine came wandering over to the shop. “Got a hose washer around, anywhere?” Whenever she comes to the shop looking for something, my first reaction is to see how big her problem is and confirm that her solution is the ideal one. She hasn’t been wrong on a parts call … Read More
Thinking through the Progress Problem is our breakfast special this morning. The other day in a post, I made a remark that bothered one of our readers. We’ll just call him Dave but he’s a great guy and asks a very intelligent on-point question: “George where do you come to the conclusion that the Earth can … Read More
I have written about this long ago, but it is worth doing again, I suppose: Now that we’re on the cusp of a weekend, with absolutely no warning whatsoever, go home and did connect your landline, turn off your power at the main breaker, and shut off your water. The cell phone battery comes out, … Read More
Ever since the Housing Bubble bottom in 2009 we have suspected that this will be the “big one” of this lifetime for all around to see it. That’s because none of the excesses of the financial system have been resolved, as an inspection of the Dollar’s purchasing power will reveal. While you’ve been sleeping (which … Read More
