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.

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…

As we rapidly approach the November elections, I wondered aloud about what would happen with Sacramento County ballot Measure B. For you home gamers—that’s a sales tax increase of .5% on everything you buy. The threshold for approval is 67% and “X” seems to think this will be achieved rather easily. Why you ask? All…
