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…

I am actually at a loss and can barely find the words for this. William will tell you, half the time I’m interrupting him on our phone calls. For some background, El Dorado County is quite literally about 90% MAGA/Trump country. They gave Gavin the middle finger on covid shutdowns and are probably the reddest…

I don’t know if the passage which I quote below ever made it into print. I have very few books by Doug Wilson, maybe three. However, I think it has application on the Abolitionists movement so I wanted to place it on the record. As usual, I quote more than a sound bite or sentence…

Folks this will be a short blog, but I have done a 180 on voter fraud. Specifically, the Los Angeles Mayor race result. That is the specific target of this blog. On election night (keep in mind CA will be counting ballots 32 more days) had Spencer Pratt making the runoff with incumbent Karen Bass. …

These last few days have been very irritating for me. I took drastic action; I dumped a Facebook “friend” because his focus on Abolitionism has made my blood boil too many times. I think Abolitionism is a cult or something approaching it. Logic, dialogue, reason, evidence, and other forms of information exchange have no effect…

Folks, I keep thinking that I’m done posting about Abolitionists, but they won’t leave me alone. When it suits them, they pull the “we are more righteous than thou” card. As Clint Eastwood once said in one of his many Dirty Harry films, ‘You are a legend… in our own mind.” Twice recently, they have…

The following discusses “Preterism.” Preterism is the belief that certain passages in the Bible were predicted and then fulfilled. To some degree, all Christians are preterists. They believe the Messiah predicted in the Old Testament is Jesus Christ of the New Testament. The issue is which biblical prophecies are fulfilled, and which are future. Within…
