Welcome to the Front Porch!! Hope you're wearin' yer 'lectric snowsuit!! Here are a few recent samplings I posted on Facebook. Hope you find something provocative!!


GULLIBLE ME! Just realized "redistribution" is a phony concept infecting my vocabulary and communication. It means "RE-distribution," implying an agency (government)that allows me to have stuff ---i.e. my own property and earnings. It then 'reconsiders my property' and 'RE-distributes it to other 'worthier beneficiaries'. If you catch me using the term 'redistribution' again, shoot me.

Last night John Aglialoro showcased a ten-minute clip from the new Atlas Shrugged movie for an exclusive audience in NYC. Here's a detailed description of what we saw -- and what it portends for the final movie.

Low Sodium Levels Are Associated With Increased Falls Among The Elderly, Study Finds | Personal Libe

Scientists from the Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam in the Netherlands have discovered that older adults who have decreased levels of sodium in their blood are at an increased risk to experience a fall and suffer a fracture. This is true even among adults who have only mildly decreased levels.

Well, the anti-sodium campaign is still having a great run. Wonder if we're about to see an oubreak of falls and fractures in NYC?

But those of us who've been around the block a few times remember when eggs were verboten. Seems like for ...20 years or so. Whatever would we do without 'experts' of the moment telling us what to eat, weigh, and 'tolerate'?

Med ck/up yesterday. Doc: "You need a flu shot." "But you were gonna give me a tetanus shot." "This time, you should have the flu shot." (Am thinking, "Those tetanus shots hurt.") "OK". Didn't hurt at all. Feeling quite manly. Today, have slept 20 hours, fatigued, achy, nauseated with diarrhea. I thought "flu shot" meant "prevent flu symptoms." Silly me. So that's what they mean by "FLU shot."

Report rates US kids 25th out of 34 nations in math acumen.
And what do the presumed 'concerned' elite suggest? Give even more money and monoply power to Teachers Unions.

Keep home schoolin'. You pay twice, but you eliminate one indoctrination and add one education---making a total of zero and one respectively.

Our JD Commie President just said it's his job to 'protect the middle class.' It begs the question 'from whom?' But a better question is: 'Who does he mean by 'middle class.'? Here the joke is on gullible US citizens who think he's referring to them. He's referring to the 'global middle class' which is way poorer than 95% of US residents. They (us?) are about to enjoy the sting of our naivete' and ignorance....

Here's another BS liberal shibboleth: "Perception is everything." If I perceive, while standing in the middle of the RR trax, that it's a bunny headed my way, and it's a train, I'm squashed. Our compatriots need to get over any notion that they can 'make their own reality,' independent of what "is", is.

Hillie says this is her last public office and that afterward she plans to do "advocacy work for women and children." Yikes, Moms and kids to the storm cellars!! She'll be "advocating" non-self-reliance, a helpless victom mentality, and claiming to be carrying the torch for early 20th century Progressives who were open proponents of genocide (which she---hopefully--- didn't know.)

Now, what do YOU want to talk about?
