During the government shutdown you heard a lot about SNAP/EBT/CAL Fresh benefits. I will explain the propaganda both sides were using. 90% of it is not true, 100% of it was deplorable. I will explain the program and the amount of “fraud” taking place. If you are reasonable, you will learn something, if you are…

Another Trip Update for October 28th
This week I attended Freegen Church in Lapu Lapu. This is my girl’s old church. This was our second visit this month. I was wearing a prominent colored shirt and made a short video of the praise music which I later posted on Facebook. Yesterday, I found out that the photo collage that went on…

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’ve been a loyal reader and blogger in this space for about 10 months, but who’s counting, except maybe the CRA. I want to just re-hash a few things William has been really right about and clear up some questions about who I really am. First and foremost, William nailed it on healthcare. He has…

Comedian Joan Rivers used to lament that she liked Las Vegas more when crime was organized. Her eye was original. Twenty years ago, when everyone was talking about how wonderful it was that Vegas had been cleaned up and the mob had been thrown out, Joan said no, no, no, they are ruining the mystique.…
