Year: 2018
How inflated with debt have we become? How long can we float on our own bloat? Reasonably trim in 1970, the sum of all debt publicly financed by the US government was $275 billion. Last week, the government sought to raise $258 billion in just one week! The weekly financing to keep the government afloat is now about equal to all the debt it amassed over the course of its first 188 years. Continue reading “All Fed up on Peak Debt”
Let’s assume for a minute that a true patriot, wholeheartedly devoted to saving and serving this country, was allowed to run for president. With an honest vote count he’ll win by a landslide, so let’s also assume that his promises were sincere, and he had every intention of keeping them. He could assemble a cabinet of loyal, intelligent, and wise advisors, and they all might work tirelessly toward the restoration of our Bill of Rights. Even if both houses of congress supporting him, what could he accomplish?
“Don’t screw with us. We killed the Kennedys, we killed Lincoln, and we killed the Romanovs, too. Matter of fact, your pretty daughter looks a little bit like Anastasia, and I’ll bet she can scream just as loudly. We’ve lain whole societies to waste, incinerated millions, starved nations, and killed Kings. We rule the world, and you live because we allow you to. You had your fun being America’s hero, but now it’s time for you to understand how the world really works, because you have a beautiful family, and we wouldn’t want to see anything bad happen to them. We can arrange for you to live like a king, or suffer unimaginable torture, and we do this for our amusement, so I think you should work for us now.” Continue reading “Death by Banker”
One of our finest has fallen. Apparently as a result of an accident in his home, my brother Spike Timmons died this morning.
My heart is on the ground. I have no words.
I just spoke with Elizabeth. Do not send donations to Spike’s PayPal on Indiana Freedom Talk Radio as Elizabeth does not have access to it.
As soon as we can all think straight, we will set up a PayPal for Elizabeth so we can help her.

The notion of due process has been much in the news, thanks to President Trump, whose devotion to fairness is characteristically situational: He’s all for due process when it comes to alleged spouse abusers or sexual harassers; less so, maybe, for gun owners. But, as is too often true in the age of Trump, the president’s antics eclipse our capacity to focus on anything not specifically Trump-related. In recent days, that includes an all-but-ignored Supreme Court ruling that should worry anyone who believes in the importance of due process. Continue reading “You are being denied due process”
Incredible as it sounds, it’s true, in a region of ridiculous rent and cost of real estate there are actually people with enough left over to indulge in something ridiculous, raising extraordinarily expensive chickens. High paid computer gurus are tipping the scale of insanity with a new type of Silicon Valley status symbol, high end chickenry.
In an area where some live in cars parked in the shadows, eking out a meager life, others are spending huge on fine feathered pampered chickens who are fed home cooked salmon, chicken parts and other home cooked feed rivaling a farmers market cornucopia of excess. You might say, a rich man’s reinterpretation of green eggs and ham. Continue reading “Silicon Valley Techies – $20,000.00 Chicken Coops? – $350.00 Chickens? – Pale Blue Eggs?”

The Florida state senate briefly approved a two-year freeze on the sale of AR-15 rifles on Saturday, before overturning the measure 15 minutes after the initial vote.
The vote to pass the bill came on an unrecorded voice vote, in which lawmakers shouted ‘yea’ or ‘nay’.
Senate President Joe Negron, a Republican, ruled that the amendment passed on the voice vote, the Tampa Bay Times reported. Continue reading “Florida senate OVERTURNS a two-year ban on the sale of AR-15s”
TEL AVIV—For eight hours a day, E., 21, sits in front of multiple computer screens, scanning high-resolution satellite images for suspicious objects or movements. As a decoder of Israel’s complex and often heavily civilian battlegrounds, he’s been critical in preventing the loss of life of soldiers on the ground in several different situations, his officers say.
For many people, combing through each millimeter of the same location from various angles would be tedious work—but E., who is on the autism spectrum, describes the job as relaxing, “like a hobby.”

At least 200 nonwhite invaders whose “asylum” claims were so bogus they were rejected by Australia, have already been “resettled” in the US and at least 1,000 more will soon be on their way, it has emerged.
According to an AP report printed in the Seattle Times, Australia’s prime minister Malcolm Turnbull told reporters that his country “will not consider options” for resettling the fake “refugees” detained on two Pacific Island outposts “until the United States fulfills its promise to take up to 1,250 of them.” Continue reading “200 Fake “Refugees” Rejected by Australia moved to US: 1,000 More to Come”
Obviously, the global warming con has made many con men rich, as they fly around in carbon eating private jets, giving anybody with enough money the Barnum and Bailey circus bark. This includes the biggest of the circus barkers “BIG AL GORE”, a man with a global warming bent, and a global warming bank account.
Big Al Gore wasn’t present recently when scientist used a hot water drill to bore deep inside the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica recently to find that the floating shelf isn’t melting, but freezing, more proof that the idiots we put our faith in are goddamn liars.

Spike Timmons was one of those guys that was incredibly easy to like. Once he got to know you, you were his friend, something that’s hard to find these days. The Trenches World Report was like a second home to Spike, he had many friends here, he loved every damn one of us, and he made that clear on a daily basis.
Spike was very lucky to find his Elizabeth, he loved her dearly. They made their home in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Elizabeth put a huge smile on Spike’s face daily, these two made each other. I saw it firsthand as I was fortunate enough to meet them, and enjoy their awesome company a couple of times. They would pick me up at the truck stop and we would go to dinner. I really had a great time conversing with them and their family. I wish we could have met more. Continue reading “Didn’t Get Much Sleep last Night – Another Death Of Another Hero”

Every year, it seems like more and more retail outlets are going out of business, resulting in the loss of jobs and local supplies.
