Heh

  Found via Gab (clickit to biggit), and helpful to those pondering the various states conducting or considering audits of the November 2020 votes. True dat.  We have too few apples, and too many other fruits masquerading as apples.  More audits, please – and may they be fruitful! Peter

Yes, the dollar really is worth that little

  We’ve spoken at length in these pages about inflation and the vanishing worth of the dollar.  The two are synonymous.  I pointed out earlier this year: It’s not that products and services are worth more, and therefore getting more expensive – it’s that the currency we use to buy them is worth less, because… Continue reading Yes, the dollar really is worth that little

Money and negotiable valuables in an emergency

  Aesop, writing at Raconteur Report, emphasizes the necessity of money as a fundamental element of being prepared for whatever life might throw at you.  In general, I agree with him, although I differ on some specifics. Money. Nota bene we did not say “cash”. Cash is nice, but it’s not money. In fact, it’s… Continue reading Money and negotiable valuables in an emergency

Sherlock Holmes for the win

  I came across this quotation from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s detective hero, Sherlock Holmes, on MeWe.  Click the image for a larger view. I wonder how we could get our politicians, journalists and influencers to absorb the truth of that statement?  When push comes to shove, I reckon a huge proportion of our present… Continue reading Sherlock Holmes for the win

A very good question: where is your bank’s money?

The ugly truth is that there are many places your wealth could vanish into and multitudes of ways… Continue reading A very good question: where is your bank’s money?

Tucker Carlson debunks the drive to demonize “assault weapons”

  In a pithy five-minute segment, Tucker Carlson points out the fallacies and lies of the anti-gun drive currently under way in Congress, pushed by the Biden administration.  Pay particular attention to the actual crime figures he discusses from 2m.33s. onwards. That’s the way it is – but you’d never know it, to listen to… Continue reading Tucker Carlson debunks the drive to demonize “assault weapons”

Heh – green finger edition

  I found this image on MeWe yesterday (original source unknown).  It made me laugh out loud, reminding me of some of the green-fingered tribe I have known.  Click the image for a larger view. Miss D. enjoys small-scale gardening, and potters about every spring planting new seeds and shrubs.  However, there are some folks… Continue reading Heh – green finger edition

Heh

  From the “Pearls Before Swine” comic strip yesterday.  Click the image to be taken to a larger view at its Web page. I think most of us have identified with that approach from time to time . . . Peter

Notice a theme here?

  I was struck by a tweet from Glenn Greenwald a couple of days ago. Of course, there were no “terrorists” in Washington D.C. last week.  I’ve spent years fighting terrorism.  I’ve written about it many times – see here, for example.  I understand terrorism from all-too-harsh personal experience.  What happened in Washington was a… Continue reading Notice a theme here?
