The situation is complex, and it is hard to know the true facts. However, if one dons the Democrats' woke goggles, all becomes clear as to what to do. I won't just yet don these woke goggles. Ukraine is the largest country by landmass in Europe. During WWII, the Western portion of Ukraine collaborated with the Nazis to build and operate killing camps for the Jews. The Russian people suffered the heaviest combat losses during WWII because Hitler invaded Russia. Putin is claiming there are Neo-Nazis running Ukraine's government and the government has been shelling the ethnic…

Hillarygate: What’s the truth?

  • Post category:Opinion

I wasn't going to cover Hillarygate, however, Jesse Watters made a claim I could not ignore. Watters said Hillary's campaign planted disinformation on servers in Trump Tower to frame Donald Trump. I accessed Judicial Watch's site to review John Durham's latest court filings. I reviewed Durham's filings with the court, and I found no mention of inserting files onto servers. However, Judicial Watch acquired through litigation the emails of the following persons: Rodney Joffe, April Lorenzen, David Dagon, Steve DeJong, and Manos Antonakakis. These individuals were contracted to build a narrative that proved candidate Donald Trump was…

I was in Fresno for the fire season. I was scheduled to have duty for six days a week for five months. I was between my two marriages. This was just a day before the 9/11 attack on our country. I remember it as if it was just yesterday. I was driving to the firebase the morning after my last two brushes with death when I stopped for fuel for my truck. As I entered the station market, I glanced at the elevated television. I saw the twin towers in NYC burning. I thought; "That's a movie…

Forgive me for channeling woke 2020 campaigning, Joe Biden. Biden all but condemned America for its sin of slavery. Biden implied this sin was unatonable. Biden also promised reparations to the descendants of those slaves as did Kamala Harris. So I ask, why did Biden meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz? Yes, America's long in the past of keeping slaves was very bad, but what the German people did in the recent past eclipses any wrong the American people ever did. As a result of Germany starting WWII, 85 million people perished. And lest you forget, Germany…

My first brush with death.

I have ever since my childhood awoke at 5 .am. I have a built-in alarm clock. I am 100% when my eyes open in the morning. To the woe of my wife, Mary, I still arise at 5 .am even though I am retired. While I worked, I didn't use an alarm clock. I have never been late to work.  I was 16 years of age when I went to Lake Tahoe to attend a summer runner's camp. The last track season, I had beaten the world's greatest athlete's time in the 1,500-meter run. I had beat…

I have only voted in California. However, I have witnessed the voting conditions for more than five decades. My parents were registered as democrats, but they voted for Republicans since FDR with the one exception of John F. Kennedy. My parents took me with them when they voted. I've seen the voting conditions both under a red and a blue state. To my misery, my father always took me to the DMV. I can still hear the clattering of the workers' typers. In those days, the DMV was filled with cancer stick smoke.The lines were long and…

Let’s go, Brandon! The Dems are outraged.

For those who don't know, last spring a reporter from NBC was interviewing NASCAR driver, Brandon Brown. The crowd of hundreds was chanting, "F_ck Joe Biden!" This chant could be easily heard by television viewers. The reporter tried to cover up what the crowd was chanting by misrepresenting the chant to; Let's go, Brandon. The reporter said to Brandon Brown, your supporters are saying, "Let's go Brandon!" How does that make you feel?The Democrats have called this phrase a seditious death threat to Biden. They have called for the arrest of those who dare to utter this…

The Federal Reserve: How banking works in America.

Before the advent of the internet, I often wondered how bankers made a profitable living. How did banks stay afloat on loans that wouldn't be paid back for thirty years? Where did the new money come from for the bank to make new home loans? I knew the deposits didn't cover the loans the bank was making for thirty-year mortgages. All of this ties into our national debt and the Federal Reserve is at the center of this as to why our money is debt.The first fact is the Federal Reserve is not part of America's Federal Government.…
