It sounds really dramatic to say there’s just ONE WAY to handle a crisis, but I’m going to go out on a limb here and say just that. We’re looking at very hard times coming up – heck, they’ve hit many of us already. And I think there’s only one …
The Top 22 Posts of 2022: China, Russia, & Food Supply Concerns
Every year when we compile this round-up, I find the retrospective interesting. It says a lot about the things that were on our minds the most strongly over the previous year. Often we’ve all but forgotten stories that grabbed our attention the most thoroughly by the time the holidays have …
Forget Sticks and Stones – Stanford U Says These “Harmful” Words DO Hurt
Remember the little rhyme you probably told your children to remember when someone said something mean to them? Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Well, unless you’re part of Stanford University’s Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative. They’ve got a list of worst that …
Psych! Switzerland Plans to Restrict Use of Electric Cars During Winter Energy Crisis
Electric cars may not be terribly useful in the midst of an energy crisis. While almost 6 million of these are on the road, drivers had better hope that the Tesla charging in their driveway isn’t the only vehicle they own. In another episode of “Wait, you can’t charge that …
Black Friday Was Dark Indeed for Retailers
Usually, after the biggest shopping day of the year, I scour the internet for a montage of shocking videos for an annual Black Friday Hall of Shame.

Gratitude: No Matter How Humble, We Have More Than We Know
Have you ever thought about how gratitude has changed over the years? The historic “first Thanksgiving” – you know the one that schoolchildren across the country have re-enacted on gymnasium stages for decades if not centuries – people were grateful just to have enough food to eat so they wouldn’t …
If Americans Have Lost Faith in the Election Process, Does the Outcome Really Mean Anything?
Over the past six years, in particular, confidence in our election process has plummeted. Half the country said that they expected voter fraud in the midterm elections. Only 20% of those polled said they were “very confident” about our elections. Much of this has to do with our politicians and our media, who cast …
WaPo & Bloomberg Peevishly Admit “The Preppers Were Right”
When I saw in my feed a headline reading “The Preppers Were Right All Along,” I foolishly got excited. “Vindication,” I thought. “They’ve finally realized we aren’t so crazy after all!” My optimism began to wane when I clicked it and saw the Washington Post load on my browser. I …
