Here and There
- Solomon wrote there will be no end of the writing of books. If he lived now, he would decry the endless cacophony of electronic verbiage. Page after page of endless, mindless tripe. People selling something; people saying something. No body reading anything! If the page doesn't have pictures, [click] the viewer is gone. Everyone is looking for entertainment.

Life on the Ranch with Jackie
Whew - I am out of breath (hard for fat old Polish Woman to convince the body it can run like a 16 year old) and have to take a break…. It is that time of year again when the wildlife and other things start STIRRING around these parts. I mentioned a while back about [...]
Child sex trafficking alive in Washington
It’s one of the most horrific crimes imaginable, and it’s growing worldwide. An estimated 300 to 500 children are for sale in Seattle and other Washington cities. Thanks to the explosion of child pornography, the demand for sex with minors and sexual materials featuring children is skyrocketing. The demand far outweighs the supply. As a [...]
U.S. Bankruptcy would mean big trouble for Washington
Within the next 12 months, the United States Treasury must refinance $2 trillion in short-term debt, yet massive deficit spending continues. AT WHAT POINT DO WE GO BANKRUPT?

This Cartoon From 1934 Describes Our Government Today
This cartoon is just as true today as it was in 1934. Government makes the problem, blames private enterprise and offers the solution of greater regulation and taxes. To think we can spend our way to prosperity will surely lead us into slavery to our leaders.
Barack Obama and the Weathermen
© Tom DeWeese, December 22, 2008 Since just before the election of Barack Obama in November, it has been interesting and quite shocking that a forty-year old, seemingly forgotten radical group called “Weatherman” is getting so much attention.

What Thanksgiving Means To Me
By Renee Johnson (my sister), Nov 2002. Thanksgiving to me is a lifestyle, not just one day of celebrating the abundance we enjoy with the people that we love. It is continually reflecting and giving thanks for all God’s goodness and grace. We may not have all that we want, but God has promised to [...]
The Evolution of Language
This from Marv Chastain (I was going to publish it earlier, but I forgot. Today, Jackie Juntti reminded me). Have you noticed? One very popular way of “solving” problems is to just change the language? For example: For a long time (about 1940-1970), we were told we were entering a “New Ice Age” and things [...]
An Irish Question About the Election
Just got this in an email and thought it was too funny to pass up: An email from Ireland to all of their brethren in the States . . . a point to ponder despite your political affiliation: “We, in Ireland, can’t figure out why you people are even bothering to hold an election in [...]
