American Traitors: Pence, Pompeo, and Bolton
I never had much hope for a successful United States / North Korean summit meeting but I did expect it to at least occur because both potential participants crave the symbolism behind the photo ops.
But today President Trump cancelled the scheduled June 12th summit set in Singapore. Why? Well because.
President Trump […]
All Hail The Perennials!
I may have whined about this before…but I like the clever title that I am stealing from AARP!
Several times since the 2016 election, I have a participant in, the target of, or a observer of online conversations about how millennials feel that boomers are holding them back. We boomers are simply still working or […]
Gas Prices On The Rise: Thanks Trump!
Remember when anything negative happened in the economy for 2008 – 2016, the phrase Thanks Obama was on every tea partiers lips?
Well time to return the favor, except the majority of gas price increases is the direct result of the actions coming out of the Oval Office this time.
Yes, the Saudi’s are […]
This time it comes from a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article on the dire straits that family dairy farms continue to suffer here in Wisconsin. I don’t have an answer for that issue and I wish I had. But one thing they shouldn’t have added to their issues…is pulling one of the family off the […]
Kimberly-Clark Didn’t Get The Memo!
Today international paper products manufacturer, Kimberly-Clark, announced that it may close up to 10 plants worldwide and reduce their workforce by 5,500 people. Despite having plants in 35 different countries and I would assume markets in far more…they are blaming the slow growth rate in the United States as part of the problem…and universal […]
I didn’t even know that this movie existed until I watched on my vacation flight to Thailand. But if you have a chance to watch it, take the opportunity. Some of the events and statements in the movie apply to the current environment as well as the Watergate era it depicts. Particularly the relationship between […]
Our Back Pages: BP Gas Station in Sherman Park
During the unrest in Sherman Park in 2016, one of the buildings destroyed was the neighborhood BP gas station. Reconstruction of that station began in November and will open as soon as construction is completed…dependent on weather conditions this winter. The same operator will run the station, Mr. Pakhar Singh.
Our Airport
This has been sitting on the back burner for some time. A letter to the editor from the September 28, 2017 edition of the print Milwaukee Journal Sentinel decried the operation of the Mitchell International Airport…fondly remembered by us old farts as General Billy Mitchell Field. I don’t want to go into the issues he […]
In Callous Support of NAFTA
Some of the current headlines talk about the issues surrounding the ‘renegotiation’ or lack there off of NAFTA. I haven’t read much about it…I am not in the mood to wade through the minutia and policy. But NPR said that President Trump was talking about negotiating with only Canada and ignoring Mexico. Apparently because they […]
Today in 1947, the British formally ended their 200-year colonial rule of India. The opinion of the rest of the civilized world forced them to bow to the inevitable due in large part to the work of one man, Mahatma Gandhi. Beginning in 1893, Gandhi spent 21 years in South Africa working against racial discrimination […]
