    Bitcoin is really up... Over 51K. I don't get it... The transactions using it are down. This smells like another pump and dump. And I know that if I was a retailer using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange I would have to include a hefty service charge for it's use. $25 bill becomes at least a...

    Power Outages Across the US/Winter Storm - Please pray people stay warm!

    The ice and snow has caused a few wind farms and solar farms to freeze up and stop producing power. This causes a drain on the system...and then the lines are down as well... causing a cascade effect in power outages.

    Is This A Warning?

    Not the Bull itself.... Just the fecal material it leaves behind. That's a joke... Actually it's supposed to be the year of the servant as symbolized by the OX. The ox is the servant of man. They were used extensively to plow and perform work like grain mills and pulling carts. One of the...

    Why Study And Do Discuss End Times Prophecy If You Do Not Then Know What To Do About It?

    Eschatology is a "practice final exam" of sorts of scripture hermeneutics. By definition... Anyone who claims to have all the correct answers to this exam is either lying or misguided. And it gets funny and sad to see two or three misguided people argue it out over their viewpoints...

    Power Outages Across the US/Winter Storm - Please pray people stay warm!

    Here's a site that shows the power grid issues... PowerOutage.US. It pinpoints exactly who does or doesn't have power... just gotta click on the state. And those stored vaccines had to be distributed quick when the power went out. Some people are going to be without for a minute yet...

    Should sending your child to school be mandatory?

    Well that's the thing. School has become a form of state run daycare for many two income households. Performance for learning has slipped and politics and social engineering has begun. Now the learning performance has slipped due to several factors...both sides, parents and school, have...

    Should sending your child to school be mandatory?

    Currently, skilled trades are pulling the same salaries as those with bachelor's and Masters degrees. But there's an issue. For whatever reason men are not completing post secondary educations and women are. So...if a woman desires to get married she is going to have to settle for a less...

    Japan's problems came about because of the earthquake and then a lack of water...so they had to use seawater to keep it from exploding. Seawater turns into acid and makes the generation plant unusable afterwards. USA likes it's old reactors because they can be used to make plutonium and other...

    Well today I tried a different tactic than I had in the past. Now the last time I was any sort of an active trader it was in the mid '80's and Microsoft was just beginning to emerge. We did things with paper and pencil and calculator. We didn't have the internet...we had a form of keeping...

    For the anti-vax people here

    actually many states don't go after every nickel of Government money. The requirements to receive those funds often costs more than the funds provide. TN gets their fair share for sure with Government contract spending and grants...but I do know for a fact about my friend who died and they...

    They have sold enough guns this past year alone for everyone to have one...so for that reason I'm just not a fan for personal reasons. I'm not against guns...just the sheer volume of them. Marijuana laws are so strict that every grower pays so much in in fines that there's never enough room for...

    Oh...and before I forget... Bitcoin lost at least $1,500 of value today...last I seen of it it was at 48,300 after reaching just shy of 50,000 this weekend. dunno about you but I could use the money it lost today. It would have been a great "short". Etherium actually gained on the news. BUT...

    What's on your Not-To-Do List

    That's Vincent Price...noted actor of some scary movies from back in my day. He also was a very fine cook. Wrote some cook books and loved to entertain people at his house. People loved hanging out with him. The scary bits in movies just added to the mistique of hanging out with him. The...

    And one other topic coming up a lot recently... Cryptocurrencies. With Bitcoin reaching $50,000 per coin (I remember when it was $200). People are looking to these as they would commodities. Ethereum and dogecoin being two others...all being massively pumped. But they are just like...

    April's Virtual Valentine's Day Dance

    Happy Valentine's Day daughter... We have a horrible ice storm going on here today. Every bridge and culvert is a sheet of ice. I just about broke my neck on my steps putting out the trash.

    I'm noticing a bunch of stocks are getting ready for a pump and dump. Just about every social media outlet has some of the same stocks being pumped while the better sites that discuss things like fundamentals are ignoring them. One I see a bunch of sites promoting is Plantir... earnings are...

    The Case Against the Trinity

    And here we have yet another troll... Don't these people have anything else better to do? How boring. I'm getting tired of using the ignore button.
