    Trump Policies, part IX

    I noted this week that Lutnik created a storm in Canada saying that all automobile assembly will be done in the US. I believe that 24% of US auto sales are to Canadians. Lutnik likely has never been in an automotive assembly plant and has no idea of the development cost and timeline necessary...

    Adding Lorie's Obituary: https://www.newcomerdayton.com/obituaries/lorie-burger for those who may be interested. She was indeed very special and talented individual.

    Trump Policies, part IX

    In one clip Miller stopped in his tracks realizing perhaps he had let it slip by mistake. I recall in Trump's first term there was discussion about extraordinary powers of the President. It is intriguing as to potential direction this is going with Vance in the wings to replace Trump. Trump...

    Video: Most Overhyped College QB's of All-Time

    Why? The fact that Sullivan didn't survive the player bone yard created by Norm Van Brocklin in Atlanta perhaps one of the worst coaches in NFL history! Spurrier couldn't displace John Brodie with the 49'ers and may not have been a great NFL QB but the Ole Ball Coach had a pretty good career in...

    BREAKING Explosion at Explosives Plant in TN

    Yes I neglected to mention the typical Monday morning headaches particularly for those women rolling nitro strips into coils for the small directional rocket motors. We became concerned with the long term imact on their health. They did wear medical gloves but the fumes were enough. Not so...

    BREAKING Explosion at Explosives Plant in TN

    A lifetime ago I was located in an anti tank missile assembly operation. We were processing nitro cellulose by the dozens of pounds daily. Scary stuff that that is absorbed through the skin. We were on Redstone Arsenal in old bomb assembly buildings with blow out styrofoam side walls. The...

    Charlie Kirk Part III

    There is no denying that there is a huge Israili lobby that supports people like Charlie Kirk and other right wing personalities. Netanyahu benefits politically with right wing support in the US.

    Charlie Kirk Part III

    Controversial but add to that group Israel who benefits from a right wing government in the US and spends our own money to assure that their cause is supported regardless of their actions.

    My favorite battlefields.

    It is obvious that Stuart's ride around the right flank of the Union Army at a minimum denied Lee an understanding of the ground around Gettysburg and the union forces he faced. We can appreciate that if Lee had an intimate knowledge of the ground he would have seized the heights or moved away...

    Looking To Saturday, How Do We Match Up With Missouri?

    You are right. The QB would yell Whoopie! when he tossed the ball to tell lineman to block downfield. I believe it was the Utah pass prior to that even 1950s - 1960's football.

    Looking To Saturday, How Do We Match Up With Missouri?

    Yep I have the same issue that shows up more in my hips now. It has really curtailed the length of my walks a whole bunch.

    Stopping Trump's Move Toward Authoritarianism

    I don't disagree with you but Trump is becoming very unpopular and at the same time the US economy is faced with two tremendous headwinds that will impact millions of us. One is the national debt ... many fewer customers for our debt at any price driving the cost of servicing the debt to rise...

    Charlie Kirk Part III

    My simple assessment of the difference between Hitler and his close staff was the understanding that they needed to create jobs to pull Germany out of the Weimar era depression. Thus the Autobahn and the development of the steel industry (for example) to support the military build up. This...

    2025-They died this year

    My wonderful and very lovely Sister In Law just succumbed to a three year battle with Pancreatic Cancer at her home in Beaverdam, Ohio this afternoon. My wife has been there with her these past three weeks and throughout the entire three year ordeal. She was a very unique person with gifts...

    Announcers we grew up with and the future

    The night games in Baton Rouge were riveting. In 67 Alabama prevailed 7-6 with a controversial touchdown on a fumble that was judged to happen after the runner crossed the goal line. The WWL broadcast of Notre Dame vs LSU was memorable. It wasn't hard to root for LSU then. Watson at the goal...

    Trump Policies, part IX

    Watched a video yesterday by a young woman whom I doubted intially. Her discussion was on how complex systems can break down if enough of the components are placed under stress within a short period of time. One factor such as unemployment can be under stress witout impacting the whole. Like a...

    From Inside China Business: Summary of how big banks make money regardless of what is happening in the economy. Big money supports moving off shore for years then when tariffs hit they charge exhorbitant rates for the importers trapped with their orders hitting US Customs. The high tariffs...

    Trump Policies, part IX

    I have some background in purchasing group health plans and understand a bit about cost drivers and cost that corporations face in providing health care for their employees and families. All health insurance is about spreading the cost to the whole in order to care for the ill. One could ask...

    My favorite battlefields.

    Gettysburg and Pickett's charge has always perplexed many of us. How men could be asked to cross those fences under fire and attack a fortified position that commanded the heights is a profound mystery. I have been watching a civil war history channel that reviews the writings of participants...
