✦ Chai Tea ✦

Hello again! I forgot to share this in time for actually making a batch of Chai Tea for your holiday get-togethers, but it’s so good, it doesn’t matter. Make this for a cozy tea date with a friend, or sip while curled up with a warm blanket reading a good book on these dark winter days. Or make a batch up for Wintertime birthday gifts…

Why America is Almost Completely Run By Monopolies...

I think it’s obvious that we have a ton of giant corporations in America. American’s seem to love giving their dollars to the worst kind of degenerate corporations they can find. People for instance know that many of these corporations are “evil” on many levels. But they will turn right around and give these same evil corporations their money every we…

Die Hard is NOT a Christmas Movie (but yes it is)

In 1988, I saw Die Hard in the theater. I’d become a Bruce Willis fan watching him on Moonlighting, that award-winning prime time television series also starring Cybil Shepherd. He played a smart-ass on TV so I was intrigued to see he’d been cast to play an action hero. I loved the movie, enjoyed watching Willis go on to have a successful film career, a…

TDT: Tick-Tock For TikTok

The one argument to justify saving TikTok that I have never been able to entertain, however, is the ‘free speech’ mantra. While I AM a free-speech advocate, and it IS technically a private company, and it IS our own very-shady government shutting it down, which would SEEM to be a violation of the first amendment… I still cannot embrace it…

Once upon a time, caravans had names like Sunseeker. Now it’s RhinoMax Defender (being pulled by a Raptor). Quantum. Matrix. Patriot. Predator. Only one of those …

I want to be upfront: this is not an article I want to write.
