We haven’t watched TV, in our house, for about 7 years now. So, I’m not usually “up” on the latest propaganda…uh “news headlines.” But people I trust are willing to take one for the team. And they watch the “news” programs and share the foolishness that goes on there every day. And it appears as though major networks still don’t report the news. Probably … Read the rest…
If you were a “climate change” advocate, or some sort of “global warming” proponent, what would be the best way to express your beliefs? Show of hands? OK, Susie.

And I don’t grade “on the curve.” Here are the questions from 10 years ago. And they still apply… Test your knowledge of absolute truth with these … Read the rest…
I watched a well-made movie, starring Robert Duvall, the other night. And he’s a very good actor who can keep you engaged.
