Thomas Jefferson … R.I.P.

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr. … all great men, arguably among the greatest; each with serious flaws of his own. Can anyone argue the case that Thomas Jefferson, an intellectual giant, does not stand in that circle, possibly at the head? Yet we have finally reached a new pinnacle of madness whereContinue reading “Thomas Jefferson … R.I.P.”

The Big Lie: DEFAULT

The Big LIE: The federal government stands poised to default… B.U.L.L.S.H.*.T… pure and unadulterated. Smoke and mirrors meant to deceive. As seen in the accompanying graphic, the latest estimate of tax revenues for FY 2021 amounts to 3.863 trillion dollars. True, that falls short of the proposed budget, but no part of mandatory spending isContinue reading “The Big Lie: DEFAULT”

With Liberty and Justice for None

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” – Alexander Butcher (winner of the Orwell Youth Prize 2016, years 12 and 13). Funny how a 12- or 13-year-old gets what our, so-called, “leaders” and hi-tech billionaires don’t. I have now had a secondContinue reading “With Liberty and Justice for None”
