Why do 30% of girls want to die?
When I was a young woman (early '80s), modern feminism was on the ascendency. We were strong, we were invincible, we could look forward to careers, we were competing with men in the workplace. Above all – and this was critically important – we insisted on being regarded for our brains, not our bodies. Gone… → Read More
East Palestine: Greatest ecological disaster in U.S. history?
I've been following the ecological disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, with horror. It fills me with absolute despair to think of the lives, livestock, and wildlife impacted by the poison, not to mention the potential contamination of the Ohio River, the Mississippi River and soil, water and airborne contamination in a dramatically wide radius around… → Read More
Bugging Out for Dummies
Recently, I came across a list of recommended items for a bug-out bag that was so ridiculous, it was just plain funny. The list originated from an unknown place so I can't provide the original source. However, I thought it was time for a sensible discussion of the myths of bugging out in general and… → Read More
The rise of the 'tradwives'
I just heard about a growing and controversial movement called "tradwife" ("traditional wife") in which women reject modern feminism and choose to be homemakers, while their husbands are the breadwinners. According to critics, not only must tradwives ditch their careers, but they must also serve their husbands. OK. I don't follow trends, so I was… → Read More
The woke museums' latest word ban
While I've been following "woke" nonsense on a casual basis, recently I found an example of political correctness that reaches peak stupidity. Are you ready for this? We must now refrain from calling ancient dead Egyptians "mummies" for fear we might offend them. Yes, really. It seems the British Museum has banned the term "mummy"… → Read More
Hobbits, unite!
The left is never short of creative ideas for saving the earth. We've heard endless recommendations ranging from installing solar panels to driving electric vehicles to avoiding private jets (except for the humble folks meeting in Davos, of course). My husband and I can't afford solar panels, an electric vehicle, or a private jet, so… → Read More
Viva la (quiet) Revolución
For some time now, I've been collecting news stories about the parallel economy. This is defined as "any technology or platform that separates itself from mainstream media and takes a definitive stance on political issues to attract consumers with those same values." Or, as I like to put it, a parallel economy is what happens… → Read More
Musings on modern art
When I was a young teen, I fancied myself artistically talented. I drew and sketched all the time. I kept notebooks of drawings. I had a modest portfolio or two. I took art classes in high school. Even back then I recognized my talent was drastically inferior to my friend Jennifer (whose book-cover sketches of… → Read More
Why we prefer tangible investments
Recently, my husband and I were discussing the intricacies of cryptocurrencies. We agreed neither of us really understand these assets, and therefore (even if we had the money to do so) they would make lousy investments for us. My husband did some research to get a better handle on the subject to justify our initial… → Read More
Come in from the cold
There is a passage from a book called "Not Buying It" by Judith Levine. Disgusted with what she sees as a consumer culture in New York City, this progressive author and her "partner" embarked on a year-long project to buy nothing but necessities. I find it an interesting (if cynical) read. But one particular passage… → Read More
Climate activists: Hypocritical and hilarious
The Western world (especially Europe) has been alternately amused and exasperated by the actions of climate activists over the last few months. With a blend of dedication and stupidity that seems characteristic of so many progressives these days, these eco-zealots somehow think they're making a difference. Their latest weapon of choice is superglue (which –… → Read More
Let's get rid of food – what could possibly go wrong?
Despite months of enormous and widespread protests from Dutch farmers, the Dutch government will be confiscating 3,000 farms and closing them down in the interests of complying with EU environmental rules to decrease nitrogen emissions by 50% by 2030. Of course, this means 3,000 farms' worth of food production will be eliminated. The Netherlands is… → Read More
Furniture giant laid off all 2,700 workers while they were sleeping
(NEW YORK POST) – A big U.S. furniture company this week fired all of its 2,700 employees while they were sleeping, telling them in texts and emails not to come to work the next day, according to reports. The mass firing on Tuesday by United Furniture Industries, which makes budget-friendly sofas and recliners for Simmons… → Read More
Folks are fleeing the 'happiest' states in the union: Here's why
A short but interesting article appeared in our local newspaper recently: "Idaho ranks as 34th 'happiest' state." As a resident of rural North Idaho, this was startling news; because let me tell you, we've lived here since 2003 and we're as happy as clams to be in this state. So how did this piece define… → Read More

Rural America hates Democrats
I saw a startling headline some time ago: "The Hatred for Democrats in Rural America Has Reached Biblical Levels." Whoa. As a proud card-carrying member of Rural America, this is heavy stuff. The piece, written by Matt Vespa, explains how the left has ignored Flyover Country to the point where the blue-collar citizens can't stand… → Read More
Parents, protesting school boards will NOT work
I admire the persistent parents who spend years fighting to improve their children's schools. These brave moms and dads show up at every school board meeting and let their concerns be heard against the current indoctrination and brainwashing that can have tragic and lifelong repercussions for their children. Sometimes these parents are even arrested for… → Read More
