  • Britain Is Taxing Its Citizens to the Breaking Point: The U.S. Isn’t Far Behind

    Britain Is Taxing Its Citizens to the Breaking Point: The U.S. Isn’t Far Behind

    A software executive in his 50s published a piece this week explaining why he is leaving Britain for good, writing under a pseudonym because saying this under his own name in modern Britain carries consequences. He has spent 30 years in engineering and technology leadership, paid a mortgage, paid his taxes, and never asked the…

  • When What Used to be Comedy Becomes Our Reality

    When What Used to be Comedy Becomes Our Reality

    It would be funny today if this wasn’t reality. My God, what are we doing. Phil Hartman plays a doctor who has delivered babies in a small town for decades. Nora Dunn plays a reporter for People magazine. Bill Murray is an expectant father, and Victoria Jackson plays his wife. The couple comes in to…

    In My House, Trump Got Trumped by a Galette

    Last night I tried to watch Trump’s speech on China and election security.

    It’s time to implement C.A.R.O.U.S.E.L. aka, the Logan’s Run Protocol

    In the movie Logan’s Run when you reach the ripe old age of 30 the little light on your hand starts flashing red and you need to report to Carousel so you can ascend to a higher plane. It’s not what actually happens but that’s what people have been brainwashed to believe. We may need…
