Not all that long ago a serious problem we were told we faced was overpopulation. In 1968 “The Population Bomb” became a best-selling book written by Stanford University Professor Paul R. Ehrlich. It predicted worldwide famine in the 1970s and 1980s due to overpopulation, as well as other major societal upheavals, & advocated immediate action to limit population growth. Fears of […]
I never thought I would be affected by ALS aka Lou Gehrig’s disease, mainly because it is so rare. Only about 5,000 people a year contract this disease here in the US. However, two people I know have been directly and greatly affected by this killer disease. My niece, back in Illinois, was recently diagnosed […]
Unless you listen to Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens it is unlikely that you have heard the true nature of what was revealed by the recent Freedom of Information Act release of the Dr. Anthony Fauci emails. The mainstream media may barely mention that they were released, but not tell you the true nature of […]
Over a year has gone by since we just needed to shelter in place for “two weeks to flatten the curve.” Doomsday apocalyptic predictions, like the return of the Black Plague, or the flu pandemic of 1918 and massive numbers of deaths never happened.

There’s an old C W McCall trucker song that goes: “Well, I’ve walked the line on 89 in the Arizona sun I’ve chased the moon and I’ve caught a star on U.S. 101 I’ve seen the sights from the Northern Lights to the bend in the Rio Grande I’ve took in a lot of this […]
If a kid has a good mother the world is their oyster. Anything is possible. Likewise, if a kid doesn’t have the love and nurture of a good mother chances of things turning out well are seriously compromised. Take the case of Charles Manson. If you were to try to create a recipe to grow […]
Sometimes there are good people who, through a single act of kindness, are remembered forever. The year was 1974 and I was 16, young and dumb. I hadn’t ventured far from my hometown alone. My first big adventure was to go to the Heart of Illinois Fair in Peoria, Illinois. Young folks may not be […]
I never thought I would hear of a Catholic priest preaching such a fiery sermon that I would want to stand up and cheer and yell Amen, but there is one right here in Buckeye, AZ! I am not Catholic or even close, but I like this local priest! I can certainly respect and appreciate […]
