The US, specifically the Obama administration, is helping Iran’s drive for nuclear weapons in many ways:

• The sanctions have effectively ended, so Iran is now flush with cash to acquire nuclear assistance.
• The recent discovery that Iran appears to have 400% more uranium-processing centrifuges than we thought should have reset the deal. Instead, Obama ( Read more... )

Some commenters have wondered: Since Obama has done so much damage, how can I call him incompetent? I’d written:

We have, it seems to me, an incompetent, inconstant, insensitive, insidious ingrate for a president - and we are left at this point feeling thankful for the incompetence, without which he’d be even worse.

In another blog, by the estimable Citizen Tom, I engaged a pretend conservative who regularly haunts that site. The discussion post, entitled What Do We Need to Do?, raised the issue I wrote about yesterday: How do we fix the current political problems that arise from erosion of the Constitution?

I was challenged in another forum recently because I had indicated that fewer than 5% of the workforce was at minimum wage. She had heard differently:

I heard earlier this week on the radio that the $10.10 hourly proposed minimum wage would affect 28 million people. That sounds like a good deal more than the 5% of the workforce …  According to the ( Read more... )

In a Bundy Ranch article in The Truth About Guns (an excellent news source for Second Amendment issues),  commenter “doesky2″ left this note on the difference between left-wing and right-wing culture in the US.  (I made only minor edits for punctuation and such:

…and you can be sure that the author firmly believes that there is no such thing as a ( Read more... )

I had a bit of a health scare last week - and survived it, thanks to the wisdom of two doctors who are also friends.  Other doctors were involved in supporting roles; I appreciate them as well.

I’d been feeling bad for a while; the loss of my Lady and other factors had wrecked my digestion. Ten days ago (Thursday April 18), I had blood tests done. ( Read more... )
