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…

Doubtless you are familiar with the phrase “Crime doesn’t pay” but actually is does; just not much unless you are in elected office. I came across the latest wage schedule of what prisoners earn per hour when working inside the prison system. When compared to what Apple pays people to make iPhones, these guys are…

I was inspired by the Sith Lord several years ago to consider doing Ancestry DNA and 23 and Me. (FYI it’s called 23 because you have 46 chromosomes with 23 from each parent.) The Sith Lord said that each website does it differently and provides different information. I’m still working on getting both done. At…

The Left is getting all charged up because they think they finally may have the leverage to take-out the President. Sorry but I don’t get it. Paul Manafort was found guilty of stuff that happened long before he ever went to work for Trump. He was convicted of on 8 of 18 counts. That means…

Regulations come in many shapes and sizes and from every state in the Union, red states included; however, today I want to take a closer look at the devastating effects these regulations have on businesses. Let’s take New York City’s famous, 32 oz. soda ban for example. With the stroke of a pen, if you…

Here is the legislative language on fines for daring to offer a children’s meal with anything but milk or water. 114379.50. A violation of this chapter is, notwithstanding Section 114395, an infraction, provided, however, that the first violation shall result in a notice of violation. A second violation within a five-year period from the notice…
