Typically, I will only go to political events that feature candidates that I am inclined to support. I don’t recall ever driving two hours just to go see someone that I totally disagree with; let alone get there so early that I’m on the front row. But this doesn’t seem to be a barrier to…

Misc Comments on My Trip Thus Far
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 came across the latest wage schedule of what prisoners earn per hour when working inside the prison system. When compared to what Apple pays people to make iPhones, these guys are…

The Left is getting all charged up because they think they finally may have the leverage to take-out the President. Sorry but I don’t get it. Paul Manafort was found guilty of stuff that happened long before he ever went to work for Trump. He was convicted of on 8 of 18 counts. That means…
