Crippled though it may be, I thought the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) signed by President Clinton was still in effect; so I was surprised to read in the 2014 tax instructions that the Federal government recognizes gay marriage even if your state does not. Same-sex marriage. For federal tax purposes, individuals of the same…

The Beekeeper meets AI
I had a talk with my father-in-law yesterday and this topic came up. The following happened to him. You get a call from your bank informing you that you are the victim of a fraudulent charge. The person on the phone has a caller ID stating that it’s your bank calling. They have your account…

There is a lot of talk lately about Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania switching parties to the GOP. This is because he has shown strong support for Israel.

Sure, they got their day in court today, to face…

Sad, tragic, unthinkable, the horror of sending your daughter to church camp only for them to be swept away by a massive once in a forever flooding event. Or to have your entire house washed away, or watching in horror as family members/friends/acquaintances are swept away by the flooding knowing you cannot do anything about…

One of the holy grails of conspiracy theorists and disillusioned conservatives is who were Epstein’s clients and was he a Massad agent? The second question seems to be “yes”, as I hear nobody disputing that Israel was a sponsor of his “pleasure island”. In fact, I think portions of our government were in on it…
