Kavanaugh will likely fail
I am saddened to report this, but I am now convinced that next week the search will begin for a new Supreme Court nominee.
Had Senator Grassley held the vote this week as planned, that might have been avoided. Several factors have influenced my thinking here:
- The allegation made by Christine Blasey-Ford. Probably not true, but the plausibility is ( Read more... )

Medicare for All Money Quote
Bernie Sanders and other socialists claim that the study I linked to supports their cause. Perhaps I should have simply quoted the entire last paragraph of the study:
As noted earlier, the federal cost of enacting the M4A Act would be such that doubling all federal individual and corporate income taxes going forward would be insufficient to fully ( Read more... ) -
Medicare for All the Money
The Medicare-for-All (M4A) proposal is rather misleading. It is being proposed by Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Andrew Gillum, and others of dubious honest and understanding.
These socialists have suggested that switching to this plan will save money. That “save money” bit is for all expenditures on healthcare, dropping by less than $ ( Read more... ) -
Downplaying Record Earnings
The news is out about the highest median household income. But the Census Bureau is broadcasting “no, it really isn’t.” They are misleading the public to downplay President Trump’s accomplishment.
For example, CNS News has reported that disclaimer:

The Lion and the Asses
One the "Aesop's Fables" goes as follows:
The Lion & the Ass
One day as the Lion walked proudly down a forest aisle, and the animals respectfully made way for him, an Ass brayed a scornful remark as he passed.
The Lion felt a flash of anger. But when he turned his head and saw who had spoken, he walked quietly on. He would not honor the fool with even ( Read more... ) -
It Wasn't Me!
The recent post on locks and keys was NOT made by me. Some LiveJournal-oriented bit of malware decided to post what seems to be a subtle advertisement.
I had recently purchased some digital locks for my home. From Amazon. Now my news feeds are full of advertisements for digital locks, as well as other things I'd recently purchased. If I even look ( Read more... ) -
The Intuitive Future Of Locks
When was the last time you thought about switching an old lock with a brand new, maybe an electronic one? Did you ever have any issues with your locks or keys on your home or car? What would you do, if you did? The truth is we all tend to ignore the actual importance of mechanical locks and keys, since we use them so many times a day. Locking and ( Read more... ) -
Thought: Rehire Generals
Anytime you see the “Thought” prefix in the title, it will indicate something that can be encapsulated in a single not-too-long paragraph, and often in a single sentence. I’m not out of the treatise business, but can avoid them on many topics. In this case:
In Obama’s last years, he fired increasing large numbers of generals, admirals and other ( Read more... ) -
HLAEHHAN
Sometimes you have to. And I am naturally inclined in this direction.
First, let’s see what happened to this old English word over the years:
- The first H got dropped.
- The E got absorbed into the previous A.
- The double H became a single one.
- The AH was pronounced “ough” (as RAH was pronounced “rough”) so the spelling caught up to this pronunciation.
- And ( Read more... )

Christian Influence
(Note: I am cleaning up some posts that never got published. This one, from mid-last year, was a reply to a leftist on Citizen Tom’s site who wanted to eliminate entirely the influence of Christians from politics. He objected when I called him on it.)
@tildeb,
You claim I am misrepresenting you in the post you are replying to. Let a candid world ( Read more... )
