It is clear to me that the California Republican Party is broken. What we learned from the leadership during the June election cycle is that they are not only unwilling to follow their own rules but think that the existing rules are a hindrance to power. The last vestiges of a bottom up organization were…

“La La La I Can’t Hear You”
Yep. It’s about unanimous that my immediate family (and a few others) are unsupportive of me. Somehow, I’m expected to be miserable for the rest of my life and must continue to pine over my deceased wife until I too wind up in the grave. I’ve gone from irritated to just plain done with the…

By now, you readers know I am a Libertarian who basically believes in a person’s right to do anything they want when they are an adult. I believe in personal freedom. So why do I hate gambling? Shouldn’t someone be able to gamble if they so choose? The answer is a “yes” and “no;” sure,…

This post is about willful ignorance and my frustration with it.

Fraternal organizations, church groups, volunteer groups, Kiwanis, Rotarians, Lions, Elks, even the Masons; when you think of them, you think service. Charitable donations, raising money, involvement in the community. One thing I doubt you think about? A branded credit card from said organizations. In a first, the laymen’s service organization of the Roman Catholic Church,…

Yep. True story. Long ago I was a member in good standing of the oldest Christian Church in the West. I was baptized as an infant at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Woodland. A small town just north of Sacramento California. I attended the parish school from kindergarten through sixth grade. I won’t go into…

This is another wild blog to write. You likely read my blog about dating in 2026, well this puts a whole new spin on the relationship world these days. Full disclosure: I am not married nor ever have been. This story starts with a very good friend of mine in a volunteer group. We were…

I’ve probably mentioned this before but felt like writing on it again. Supposedly, Matthew 24 contains a rock-solid proof of the Rapture of the Church. First, here’s the passage in question. 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of…
