Facebook is preventing me from sharing anything. They haven’t gotten the message yet that censorship is over. Zuck really went the wrong way when he went in the direction of censorship to please the Dems in the federal government. UnAmerican.

I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
Tariffs
What is interesting about tariffs is that the federal government paid all its expenses with tariffs as the sole source of income until the income tax was introduced in 1913.
So Trump’s plan to use it as a source of income for the federal government is a very viable plan, and would allow him to lower taxes on Americans, including or specifically the income tax levied on Social Security payments — without worsening the national debt, which stands at 36 trillion.
So what would be the downside to this scheme? Tariffs lead to inflation because it would cut off inexpensive products from abroad, and replace some of them with more expensive products produced in the US, which is pro-growth for the US.
So there is a downside — there is no free lunch. But on balance, it is not an unreasonable strategy.
Racism
News flash to the clueless woke crowd: no one wants any kind of racism in the US, including all the Trump supporters.
Abortion
Those who are so adamant about their right to have an abortion rationalize the murder of the fetus. But murder is murder.
For a woman to be pregnant without a reliable husband to pay the bills is clearly a very daunting circumstance, and so you can see why young women in particular want to preserve this “freedom”. And I do think they should have this right and for that reason, but murder is still murder.
One wonders how many women who go ahead and have an abortion live to ultimately regret it, for they may reach the age without children when having one is no longer possible, and yet they now want one?
The abortion issue is probably the most divisive issue in the US with fanatics on both sides of the argument.
Fork
Your health is at the end of your fork.
Improving Health
If you want to quantumly improve your health, just stop eating all processed foods.
Pretty simple. If it didn’t actually grow out of the ground, don’t eat it. If it came in a box, don’t eat it. If it has more ingredients than one, don’t eat it.
Protein
Most people eat too much protein. A fairly large percentage of the population eats twice as much as necessary.
The food industry is constantly pushing extra protein in their processed foods, but this is quite unnecessary for the majority of people. And excessive protein in one’s diet can have very serious health consequences, including kidney stones.
Don’t believe the hype about protein from the food industry. More nonsense.
Value
The most valuable thing is a good night’s sleep.
Propaganda
No one actually believes the “news” from the woke media as anything other than propaganda, pushing a particular point of view that is highly questionable.
Gone are the days of Walter Cronkite’s “And that’s the way it is,” with unbiased news based on rational, good judgment.
That’s the way it is isn’t anymore.
I used to associate propaganda with communism in the Soviet Union. Now it is firmly entrenched in the US in the woke media. So don’t trust media in the US anymore. Trust your own common sense.
One thing you learn by the time you reach old age is that there is no limit to the number of fools. So there are many who still believe this woke propaganda.
“Food” Poison
The government allows the food industry to do whatever it wants. Reason why we get so many really crazy non-food ingredients in processed foods.
You are really taking your life in your hand if you eat processed foods.
