Hi. Just a brief update on the race. Two bombs were thrown over the last week. The two candidates claiming the mantle of “I’m from here, vote for me” are both mortally wounded. Jon VanGesen looks saintly compared to the homeboys from Bonners Ferry. Travis Stolley was hit with a report that he covered up…

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…

Those of us that proudly voted for President Trump and supported him from the primary season to the Whitehouse have yet another accomplishment to crow about today. Trump told Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris to go pound sand and got three conservatives appointed to the Nine Circuit Court of Appeals. I told you the Ninth…

I was invited to a social function last Friday to celebrate the fall ritual of Octoberfest. I engaged a person that I know at the party in conversation. The subject of Elon Musk came up, partially because the person hosting the party just purchased a Tesla. I recounted the production difficulties, Elon getting kicked off…

Senator Dianne Feinstein deserves some payback for her 11th hour stunt to try to derail the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. Nationally, she has done what the Republican Party has failed to do since the election of President Trump, energized the base. The 2018 midterms are now less than five weeks away and, according…

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued the following edict: Elon Musk has been forced to step down from the Board of Tesla but he will remain CEO. Translation, he is figurehead of the company but can be out voted if he wants to do stupid stuff. Within 45 days, an independent chairman will…

As a homeowner in Sacramento County, I live in an area “served” by the “Sacramento Municipal Utility District” (SMUD). This is our local monopoly providing electricity to well you guessed it, Sacramento and a couple surrounding areas. What we have here is a government created monopoly, if you live in SMUD’s service area you must…
