I thought that headline might grab you. I found it today on a commenter's profile. He was in his 30's, vaccinated, and living in the midwest. I read most of his vitriolic comments. Many were directed at "anti vaxxers" and a few other comments displayed his hatred for Trump supporters. Often, his comments were personal attacks directed at people who he deemed worthy of shaming.  It is true that most of the people with covid who are in intensive care units throughout the country and on ventilators- are unvaccinated. Anywhere from 10 to 20% of patients on ventilators are vaccinated. The unvaccinated are far more likely to be on a ventilator and far more likely to die. So it wasn't like there wasn't some grain of truth in what he had to say. It was just a horrible fucking thing to say. It was completely devoid of empathy, compassion, and was a blue ribbon example of American incivility. So this guy, Mr Responsible Vaccine Taker has decided that the health care sys

 This is probably the most important blog post I have ever written. It may save your life. A couple months ago I published a piece entitled "9 Days On a Vent." I had linked it off my Facebook page. Subsequent to that I got into a couple of running arguments with people who had blindly taken the vaccines and were preaching them. I was unfriended by a couple of those people which is fine by me.  All in all, 4 people "unfriended me" and an ex-girlfriend even called me cavalier for my approach to covid. That could not be further from the truth. I was 60 now 61, I was 50 pounds over weight and I am a factor 5 blood clotter- I have had at least 25 blood clots and 3 deep vein clots. I have learned how to treat the superficial (near the skin) clots on my own. (I crank up the heat to the max in a jetted tub and place the superficial clot up against a jet for as long as I can stand it- they tend to dissolve quickly)    At any rate, I couldn't access the vaccine early on a

A few weeks ago, after I miraculously survived 9 days on a ventilator, I got into a back and forth with a good friend and his daughter on Facebook. My friend's daughter was of the firm opinion that the unvaccinated are putting the vaccinated at risk. She even called me selfish. Her father held the same position. They believe vaccinations are good and everyone not getting one was an idiot or worse. Two more of my liberal friends admonished me for being "cavalier" about the covid vaccines. They all believe they are practicing some form of common sense. What they are really practicing- is fear. Fear so great that they have no problem blaming others and acting like little children when you disagree with them. I am not going to argue the preposterous position that "vaccinated" people are put in jeopardy by the unvaccinated. I am not going to be bullied by a bunch of liberal fools who think this cesspool of a government can be trusted.   The emotional cowards who popu

 A mere 9 months into his stolen presidency, Joe Biden has already shown us what a special kind of idiot he is. And it's not like he was fully equipped to begin with- what little sense he had seems to be circling the drain. Joe Biden is a fool and an idiot. As a President he is a complete disaster.  The stolen election should have been able to bear the scrutiny of an investigation. Ordering an investigation would have been the right thing to do. But like most of us, Biden knows they ripped the election off and like the little coward that he is- he knew the election results were rotten. Then there is his kid. This kid is a full blown criminal. Not only does he solicit bribes and funnel part of the loot to his father- he leaves an old laptop behind in a shop somewhere with all the incriminating evidence on it. Besides bedding strippers and smoking crack, Hunter's IQ seems to have seen little improvement over the man who sired him. Of course he will never be prosecuted in this ban

  Today's piece is written by a long time associate and friend of this blog,  Alan R. Guest Column   August 24, 2021.   The media outlets that would normally shuck and jive to help Creepy Joe out are just as readily throwing him under the bus (just as the usual suspects on the right are) in regard to Afghanistan.   Why is that?   They aren't calling him out for my benefit (they never talk to me) people of my thinking knew Sniffy Joe was a sleaze ball back when he lied about his grades, lied about his degree, and plagiarized speeches word for word. But to their regular audience, I think the hammering on the Big Guy is for softening their readers up. As though to say, 'We've pounded Trump-hatred into you, you've been programmed to such an extent that you would stick with Uncle Joe if we told you to but we are no longer telling you to.' It's okay to admit and accept that Sleepy Joe, the demented career influence peddler and hair sniffer, is finally past his pri

 Every morning I get up and the first thing I see on Yahoo is some ridiculous fear porn about covid. Stories about how all these dying people wish they had been vaccinated. Of course there are other articles as well, click bait for scantily clad women. Yahoo is always chasing advertising dollars like little whores. This is what passes for "news." Yahoo of course stopped all commenting on their propaganda pieces and leftist editorial writing. Thus when people die of covid, I can't ask why they weren't given Ivermectin. It's clear what the agenda is and coming from a billionaire owner who lives in Woodside, California- this all makes sense to me. I am taking Yahoo off my home page. The liberals you see, can't simply stop at trying to scare you into taking experimental vaccines. That ain't good enough. You must comply with them. If they want abortions, they say keep your hands off my body. If you don't want an experimental vaccine in your body- they say t

Being retired with an insatiable desire to always learn more leaves me with a lot of time to follow links and research topics on line. This then, is how I stumbled onto the drug, Ivermectin. About the time covid 19 filled the nation with hysteria, I was on line every day for hours. I was researching the number of cases, the mortality rates, and other effective means to avoid getting covid. I stumbled across foreign reports of the Wuhan Virology Lab going "dark" in October of 2019. Spy agencies had been monitoring that site and the Germans noted that the lab completely shut down in October of 2019 for a little over 14 days. No phone calls, no light switches, dark. This of course is corroborated in time by reports from Chinese citizens reporting a new and deadly disease.  There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that covid 19 escaped from the Wuhan Lab. The only question I have is whether or not it was done on purpose- the Chinese having such a wonderful track record of valuing

I was born near the end of the boomer generation in '64. America was a much different place then than it is today. Back then, life was good. We were all optimists. Everything that made America great was still intact.  That didn't mean we didn't have skirmishes. We had the Vietnam War and the lies generated at the Gulf of Tonkin. We had one of our first mass shootings at the University of Texas in Austin. We had the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King Jr. We had real back of the bus racism. We had demonstrations, women's liberation, the pill, bra burning, and abortion. We had a President commit a burglary to gain intelligence on a political rival which resulted in a very public trial broadcast on every network. We all knew Nixon was guilty. Only a pardon by Gerald Ford saved him. We've always had conflict in America.  In 1967, the US dollar was still backed by gold and worth a dollar. We had the strongest currency on the planet. Mothers did

 Like many of you, I spent most of my life busy making a living or raising a family. I didn't really care about politics. Politics never effected me directly, not in any adverse way. Nobody was trying to steal my gun rights or health care.  I grew up in the most democratic town in America. The birthing place of unions. Butte, Montana. It was there that I learned to hate evil corporations, greedy robber barons, and people willing to destroy the earth to such an extent- that Butte, Montana is still the number one Superfund cleanup scene in America. Butte owns the Berkeley Pit. A mile deep open pit mine filled with the most acidic water on the planet. It's pretty easy to be a democrat in Butte. I once saw a picture of a very small vacant room with a table and four chairs where the caption read, "Butte's GOP Headquarters."  They practically baptize you democrat in Butte. That's the way it was back then. My friends were the sons of miners. So I understand my democr

  Each year the Federal Government spends far more money than it takes in through individual and corporate taxes. We call that a yearly deficit. That deficit then gets added to the existing debt or deficits from previous years. With the passage of the Biden "stimulus" plan (which is essentially just another pork barrel bill providing tax largesse to corporations and other countries) I thought I'd try to explain the level of indebtedness we are in and try to keep it simple and understandable. Our current federal tax receipts for 2019 are 3.46 trillion. Tax receipts are normally estimated higher for each forthcoming year- unless of course you have a covid pandemic where 1/2 of the country shuts down. So the projections on this table, the one I used for this piece, simply aren't going to happen. Thus I am using 3.46 trillion as the amount of Federal tax taken in  2019.  https://www.thebalance.com/current-u-s-federal-government-tax-revenue-3305762 We will add the 1.9 tril

 The election fraud of 2020 is never going to go away. More and more substantiated proof accumulates each day and over 1000 sworn affidavits of fraud and questionable conduct have been ignored by officials and the courts. These are from people like you and I. I don't think I have ever seen anything like this since JFK was killed and they spent years trying to convince us that some lone, single, communist assassin loser killed the president. Kennedy was shot from the front and side. That can be seen on the Zapruder film. I don't need some bullshit Warren Commission to tell me what anyone with warm blood and half a brain can see for themselves. Despite Zapruder's film our government, Johnson's government, still managed to convince a gullible America that some half assed communist was responsible. They went to HUGE lengths to convince us of that. The cover up that followed was the single greatest fraud ever foisted on a naive American public. It would take nearly 60 years

 Wow. Two blogs in a week. You'd think I was retired with not much to do. I've had this blog for 12 years. The only comments I've ever deleted, other than spammers, were three assholes that came in to say nasty things. I have always valued a person's right to free speech and quite honestly, if you write some garbage, then people should be entitled to comment appropriately. It seems only fair. The first blog I was ever booted from was "naked capitalism" maybe 6 years ago. I had the audacity of questioning the author's conclusions (Susan Webber) about Modern Monetary Theory or MMT. Not only did she ridicule what I had to say, she ridiculed me. I instantly recognized that nasty sort of attack as the modus operandi of a liberal. Liberals aren't interested in any opinion that contradicts their own opinions. Liberals say stupid shit- like they believe in "unity" and "tolerance" yet they do not. You must toe their party line. Despite the f

 The democrats, vindictive little cowards, just can't accept victory. Not only do they cheat their way into an election day win but they have been very successful at stopping credible investigation into any number of innovative cheating methods. So now the democrats want to try and impeach a former President. This is some rich shit. It begs the question. If Trump is eligible for impeachment after leaving office- can we impeach Barack Obama? Can we finish off Bill Clinton? Can we impeach a few dead ones? So you've seen the obvious question next. What statute of limitations exists that would prevent this? I can't find one. Let me present my case. Hypothetical of course.  Suppose an American President scrubbed all evidence of his foreign past. All of it was done before he actually runs for office. You have to scrub it all or parts will remain exposed. You start with your 17 year old mother who sleeps with any number of men yet identifies one of them as your father. You are rai

Several years ago now, I was introduced to the idea of a political beachhead. A beachhead is an established and somewhat safe landing area on a beach through which an attacking army can move troops and equipment.  My introduction to that concept began while talking to a community organizer in the pre-lottery days (1980's) of Idaho. My organizer friend explained that although most people do not care for gambling he believed lottery officials would be able to sell state legislators on the idea that they would skim some of the profits from the lottery and return it to the state in the form of education costs for children and schools. States would also reap the windfall benefits of taxing lottery winners. The only losers would be the people playing the lottery.  So the lottery officials established a beachhead by promising a little payola to the states. Since states and their politicians are always looking for new revenue sources, the lottery became an easy sell. We are now seeing the

 .....stock is up 40 bucks trading at 800 a share with a nosebleed p/e of 1500.  Tesla has become the world's only automaker. It's founder and CEO, Elon Musk, has become the world's richest man. The old legacy auto makers, as well as those 20 or so electric auto makers in China, have all apparently quit making vehicles.They have thrown in the towel. Instead of making cars, the old auto makers have simply purchased Tesla stock and gape at their astonishing returns each day.  "Simply buying Tesla stock, while shuttering our factories and reducing our overhead to zero, has enabled us to become wildly profitable" said an anonymous source. Based on the outstanding float, Tesla stock holders have now valued every Tesla vehicle coming off the assembly line this year at approx. 1.3 million per vehicle.  Elon Musk issued another 5 billion worth of shares recently and rather than dilute the existing price, the stock has risen another 20%. Many industry insiders think that M
