Elections Reformed

Since the turn of the century, I have voted in five presidential elections.  And my vote hasn’t counted once.  My vote was counted, but it didn’t count. For the past 23 years, I have lived in either Massachusetts or California.  Both are highly Democratic states.  And, because of the way

Unthinkable

I said years ago that the best possible strategy for anti-gun people is to shoot and kill a bunch of innocent victims.  Because every time there’s another highly-publicized shooting, the Left uses it as an example of why they believe we need more gun control.  In fact, the only people

May the Best Man Win

Now that Women’s History Month is behind us, it’s time for me to say something.  I would have said something sooner, but I didn’t want to distract us from celebrating women’s history.  But now that the month is over, and we’re back to ignoring the accomplishments of women like we

The Biden Files

For those of you who haven’t been keeping track, Trump has been under fire for months because some classified documents were apparently found at Mara Lago.  The Left has been pitching a hissy fit about this and threatening to bring legal action against the former President. You know what they

Risky Business

Today, the FDA announced that Lupin Pharmaceuticals has recalled four lots of their “Quinapril” blood pressure medication.  According to the press release, the affected batches contained too much of an impurity called “N-Notroso-Quinapril”. The problem is that, taken over a long period of time, that impurity may increase the risk

Bushwhacked

There’s a riverbed about a mile from my house.  I say “riverbed” and not “river” because it rarely has any water in it.  This is southern California, and we get rain like twice a year.  So, the riverbed isn’t filled with water.  It’s filled with homeless people.  About four years
