We called them knickknacks...

My mom had a small collection of religious ornaments and souvenirs from various trips. She kept them on a mini-shelf unit in her place of business and one at home. It wasn't until I got into furniture manufacturing where I heard the Jewish equivalen

What Is The Number One Threat To American Success Today? The Socialist Takeover Of Our Schools.

I've long argued that the most pernicious (and least exposed) threat to the continued leadership position of America in the world is that our school system has been taken over by socialists. They teach children that America is bad, capitalism is b

Ten ways we could fix broken Britain

With people living longer, the health service under pressure, house prices through the roof and Brexit - could you suggest ways we can fix broken Britain? Ideas encompassing pensions, environment, council tax, education, transport, drugs, betting, mi

Reparations? Who Gets Them And Who Pays?

So I see the Democrats latest brilliant idea is a rehash of the "reparations" proposal that crops up every now and then when the left feels that they haven't thrown enough bad ideas out there recently (how wrong they are!). One by one like lemmings a

Why Jon Stewart's 9/11 Outrage Is An Outrage

First, as I've written about before and some of you may know, I was an eyewitness to the Muslim terrorist attack on New York City on 9/11/2001, the most deadly attack on American soil by any foreign entity in history since the United States was estab

A blast from the past

I took a trip down memory lane when I looked at some very old threads. Those who have been around here as long as I have will no doubt remember some of these members who are no longer active on this site such as; OREGONGOLD MONTEMONTE TTOM50 SCU

I don’t believe

I don’t believe in ghosts or spirits of the dead. I don’t believe in the potency of curses made by witches and ancient Egyptians, and I don’t believe in black magic. I don’t believe in the devil or vampires or werewolves. None of these things frig

The Genesis of a broken window

I remember once being sent along with the joiner* to replace a broken window pane at the local church hall. The churchwarden, a rather stern man, was already there waiting for us. He seemed very perplexed when we arrived, and appeared to have a gre

A whole new ball game

For the female exhibitionist there are various ways to indulge the impulse; showing varying amounts of cleavage being one popular and easy option. But what about men? They can be exhibitionists, too. It’s high time the designers of male fashion co

But what if you’re wrong!

“If I am wrong”, say the preachers of Hell fire, “I will never know, but if you are wrong”, they have more than once said, addressing me, “you most certainly will know.” Fair enough, but that’s my look out. The situation regarding man made glob

Percy Turner

There’s a little butcher’s shop down a narrow street in the South Yorkshire village of Jump. You could drive past that little shop and never even notice it, except on a Tuesday* and Saturday when the customers are queuing right out onto the pavement

Feminism

Circular Alliances in CS Blogland

It's a well-known fact that people whose names start with A-M are the smartest and I can retrieve dozens of YouTube videos to back my claim--and those whose names start with N-Z are not only stupid, but smell like feet. Does anyone see the probl

Has the Creator abandoned us?

I just want to say that I mean no offense in the words I write today or I'm just searching for answers to my questions, we are a free people and I think we're still allowed ask questions in this world we live in. And my first question is has the crea

What makes something funny?

We know when something is funny, but, if asked to explain exactly why it is funny, we would be hard pressed to put the reason into words. Not everyone finds the same things funny; a state of affairs that makes it even harder to come up with an expla

The doomsday clock...

Monday the 13th & history of Friday the 13th

I notice on the calendar, that tomorrow is Monday, May 13th. and began to wonder why a Friday the 13th was chosen as the supposed unlucky day. Seeing how many working people TGIF ! and hate the idea of having to go to work, it would make more sen

Words I don't like

There are some words I don't like. Sometimes it's because of the meaning of the word, and sometimes it's the sound of the word. It could be a combination of both, or it could be neither. I will now proceed to think of words I don't like, but no ju

To believe Donald or the Ghostwriter...

Earlier in the week a news story hit about Donald's old taxes showing he had lost more than a billion dollars many years ago. That was around the time his book was published describing his savvy on deal making, telling a different story of his then f

The Park

When I walked through the park the other day I was left wishing I hadn’t. It’s some years since I was last there and its deterioration was depressing. It had the appearance of being given just enough attention to stop nature reclaiming it but not e

Decent, honest, kind everyday folks...

Easter weekend...

On November 21st, 1999 14 Cubans left their country on a small aluminum boat headed North. The boat had a faulty engine and took on water during a storm. Only 3 survived and were picked up by 2 fishermen who handed them over to the U.S. Coast Guard.

I kissed a girl..

Can't two people from the same gender fall in love? Sure they can. Then, why does it become about their sexuality more than love ?

Picture Cards

When I was at junior school, we used to buy bubble gum that came with picture cards. The ones I remember were a series about World War 2, Mars Attacks and the American Civil War. Some of the pictures were very gory, many of them depicting scenes of

Something odd at No.1 Main Street

The building firm I used to be with did a lot of work for a country estate. There is a village attached to the estate and its old stone buildings are in constant need of repair or renovation, between tenants. One such property was No. 1 Main Street

Remembering WWI's Hill 80

Archeologists are gingerly and respectfully exploring what is known as Dig Hill 80 in Flanders, Belgium today. In 1914 invading Germans and Bulgarians surrounded a tiny, bucolic, village on a hill 80 meters high and and occupied it. The name o

Biased American media race baiting....

... Today, on a talking head show, an alt-lefty reporterette was interviewing a nice young Black man, concerning gun violence in his community. It seems some likely gang banger cretin was passing by where this fellow and his mom were sitting on the s
