    Has Trump outsmarted everybody?

    Of course they are hypocrites. I believe that those who advocate for open borders should have to house the immigrants at their own expense, preferably in their own homes. I wanted to ask the woman mentioned above since she in an immigrant (legal) why she believes those currently being sought...

    Nutrition: Fats and Oils

    Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid. It is normally obtained from plants. Here is what Johns Hopkins has to say on the matter: https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/the-evidence-behind-seed-oils-health-effects

    Has Trump outsmarted everybody?

    We received a letter in the mail (believe it or not) from a long-time friend and an immigrant from the UK who has been here more than 50 years. She is now so anti-Trump it is startling. She says the U.S. is now like Germany in 1938. I started thinking about that and decided there are some...

    Flu / cold

    I tend to take zinc and quercetin when the flu is around. I experimented with what I called "The Treatment" years ago, and it seemed to work if you could do it right. start with a shower at a tepid temperature and slowly raise the temperature of the water in the shower until it reaches as hot...

    Ukraine war latest: US aims for peace deal 'next month' - as Russia attacks energy facilities

    I suspect this will go on until one side, probably Ukraine, is defeated. Both Europe and the U.S. are tiring of the entire thing, which is what Putin is relying upon. Poland will stick with it longer than other European nations since they are directly affected. Maybe the massive Latvian army...

    Anything left on your bucket list?

    If you went from North Idaho to Virginia by train, it sounds like you have already done a cross-country train trip @Yvonne Smith. I went from the West Coast to Pittsburgh decades ago, but I have made many trips from the West to the Midwest since then. I also traveled up the west Coast from...

    If you could stay in one Disney resort, which one would it be?

    I would never stay at a Disney resort. I have visited both Disney World and Disneyland. I wouldn't stay in either, nor would I take a Disney cruise. My money would be better spent elsewhere. I like the Universal Studios better.

    What is going on in the UK!

    I hope that is true @galty for the sake of the UK and Western interests as a whole

    Piers Morgan thanks New York for electing Mamdani

    Apparently Mandami is already out of money in New York. I read he has petitioned the state to allow him to raise taxes. He reportedly has a a 10 billion dollar deficit in his projected budget that he has to fill. Governor Hochul already said she wouldn't do that when he was elected as so much...

    BREAKING: Minneapolis latest: Man shot dead by federal agents

    It is also illegal to carry a weapon in the commission of a crime, which obstruct Federal law enforcement definitely is. Now the Democrats are defending concealed carry and high capacity magazines. Interesting. They have been staunchly against both of those for years, but somehow Trump being...

    What's your Weather like today

    +7 F. and snowing. 6-7 inches over night and the big snow is supposed to come today. We'll see how it goes. I have to get the tractor with the snow blower out in just a bit to clear the drive for the next snow.

    Crisis actors

    Interesting if true. How could the ICE people not know he was dead or alive and faking?

    Bad storms predicted for the Souteastern states this weekend.

    I wish you and Bobby the best.

    Why does Trump want to take over Greenland - and could he actually do it?

    Interesting things going on in Davos. Europe demonstrated their "military power" and their ability to deploy military by sending 30+ troops on a civilian airliner to "defend" Greenland. Everybody around the world is now laughing at Europe. How sad! No military plane, no in-air refueling, and...

    Bad storms predicted for the Souteastern states this weekend.

    Apparently there will be a line of ice below (south of) the snow, so power outages are predicted to be catastrophic. If @Bobby Cole got the inverter I mentioned to use with the battery it might provide enough juice to power all the phones and iPads for a while and perhaps even the router/modem...

    Why does Trump want to take over Greenland - and could he actually do it?

    Apparently there is a treaty signed by Denmark in 1941 basically giving the U.S. military control of Greenland and never rescinded. The European Union has sent 30+ troops from all European nations concerned. It is rumored that the Iwo Jima is headed north and it contains 2500 marines to...

    That's the Way It Crumbles, Cookie-Wise

    I have used TENS but never had any trouble with it. It didn't help me much in the long run either, although I think it helped a little for a while.

    That's the Way It Crumbles, Cookie-Wise

    When our kids left home, we switched the den and the living room. The living room actually became the dining room, and the "living" moved into the den. I mostly leave the house stuff to my wife. I did take a closet (games closet) out of the den and put it on the other side of the wall in the...

    Favorite Books

    Travels With My Aunt was my introduction to Graham Greene and is very easy reading and perhaps a bit silly. A good way to lift spirits in winter.

    Metals, a Hedge or Investment Depending on Your Views... or a Sucker's Bet?

    I am seeing this in other sources as well now. Apparently the banking system is panicking behind the scenes. Some are comparing this to 2008 but worse, as in 2008 mortgages could only go to zero, but the shorts on precious metals, especially silver could take "positive" assets to negative...
