This post discusses illness and medical practice in the Philippines. I have three health things that I’ve been juggling on this trip, food borne illness, a lousy cold, and some wonderful tropical “crud” that has attacked my skin. Today I finally got the “all clear” from the doctor; no pneumonia. My cold is getting better…

Review: Palermo Restaurant
Palermo has been around for forever in my hometown. I never think about it when it comes to Italian food, even though I have been there 3 times prior. It is a family-owned restaurant that clams to make Italian food from scratch. Let’s get to the review! Blogger Note: on this trip we were in…

I told my girl that I wanted a burger and a beer. I’m not much of a drinker but it just sounded good. We hopped in the car and drove for about 20 minutes to somewhere I’d never been before. We parked next to a McDonald’s—not a good omen—and then went for a walk. We…

I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

It is the update you didn’t ask for, but due to the sheer number of folks running, and Eric Swalwell going up in flames, I feel compelled to comment. There are about 200 folks running to replace Gavin Newsom as the next California governor, and to be honest, most Democrats that I speak with do…

Imagine taking the CRA at the height of their membership implosion, making them a single-issue group, and then mashing-up the result with Randall Terry’s Operation Rescue. Then hire Hammer Films to be their public relations arm and you might get the Abolitionist movement as found on Facebook. Folks, you might think I’m being harsh on…

It’s election season once again. Here in Idaho, we are going to the polls next Tuesday. Unlike, my colleagues in California, we actually have to go to a precinct, present a photo I.D. and then cast a ballot. Furthermore, in Idaho, Republicans, Libertarians, and most Democrats are all registered Republicans. Yep, in most parts of…

Blogger Note: This is not about voter fraud it’s about the scary amount of fraud uncovered in the last few months. It started with “learing” centers in Minneapolis, then hospice care facilities in Los Angeles, now I got a bombshell Fox News alert about Medicaid fraud in Ohio. Folks, what we must quit doing is…

So, the Supreme Court shot down parts of The Voting Rights Act as being unconstitutional. The act basically made it so majority minority congressional districts cannot really be altered very easily. Basically, I read it as “the other side of the tracks, the inner city or mostly black areas got a seat.” So those protections…

Folks, Jesus made several predictions about his return happening within the lifetime of those hearing his words. Sadly, many of his followers in our day and age don’t believe him or worse yet, think he was mistaken. If Jesus was wrong on this claim, then he is a liar and thus not God and has…
