    Are YOU Christian First or America First?

    My loyalty is to what is Right and Good. If I see my country doing bad things; I can't be loyal to that. If I see so called Christians doing bad things, or supporting policies that don't align with ethical standards; I won't support that. And I say that as a Christian. It simplifies...

    The next James Bond

    I'm not really worried about it. I think the Bond franchise is way past its sell date. It is old and tired. The early films were fun and campy, but past Sean Connery it was just dated. I only watched the Brosnan films because I liked him, but even I admitted that the films were pretty bad...

    Progressive regulations kill two restaurants in Denver

    Well run restaurants with good food, that is reasonably priced, have no shortage of customers. This weekend I went up to see my daughter. My daughter and I went out for breakfast several days in a row. Our favorite place fills up rapidly if we don't get there early. Lines out the door. We...

    Confederate flag, racist or heritage?

    My ancestors settled in Northern Mississippi in the 1700's. We moved north in the 1950's. I did the Ancestry family tree. I looked at the Confederate graves, and felt very sad that these people fought and died for something really stupid. I don't fly the Confederate flag because it not only...

    Do you use your phone to pay for groceries/stuff in a shop ?

    About Trump's Parade

    This reminds of those jet flyovers of hospitals to "salute our healthcare heroes" during the pandemic. An ER doctor posted a video about these $250,000 "salutes". He said that hospital workers protective gear consisted of trash bags and painter's masks, and Trump had already spent $30 Million...

    Walmart and big box stores

    I've been supporting the boycotts, so I had to get a little creative. I tracked down one food store that was franchised but locally owned. Less selection meant less temptation, which really helped with my food bill. I discovered the Mennonite run surplus stores, with close dated food. One...

    Should retailers show tariffs as a separate item on their prices

    I saw a video where a farmer showed an invoice for animal feed imported from Canada. It showed the contracted price with the tariff added as an additional cost. The farmer tried to claim that the price had been agreed on before the tariffs kicked in, so the Canadian exporter should eat the...

    Trump supporters: how bad does the economy have to get before you stop supporting Trump?

    Nope. You can look at the poorest counties in WV, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Their kids have been starving for generations, and they still keep voting Red. About 15 years ago, a group of Democratic activists went down to the poorest counties in WV to talk about all the Democratic programs...
