I will presume here, but in America “character” is not just a descriptive adjective, it is also an assumed qualitative adjective with a bias towards the positive. Having “character” is akin to a combination of that you are honorable, are pr

I feel this is really a blog post about two indirect topics; one that has not been addressed for many years now, and another that is not new, but has been getting seemingly ever more acute recently. The first is the issue of permissive lice

You are missing the point. It has been considered general English language competency that you always expand the first instance of any abbreviation that is not absolutely obvious in context, e.g., USA, “e.g.”, or CIA, unless you happen to b

One thing to note!!!! Make sure to also keep records on the HSA start date and any transfers you may engage in, e.g., after leaving an employer or just changing providers. It is worth having that on record in case 20, 30, 40 years later you

I am not sure what government you are thinking of, but not in the US government. There are some trimmings and some consolidation that may shift people and function in or under something else, but the programs, as generally defined by activi

My first thought is for historical research. It would be quite a bit of help if you have some old town or settlement map that you can compare to/overlay with a LiDAR stone wall map. I am not sure, but it may also serve historical prese

Imagine how people like me feel that have been warning of this for an unspecified number of decades now. I was told that I don't understand the internet and technology when I said that all these types of things would be happening, as i

Can you clarify why you said "Humanity just doesn't ever learn."? It could be interpreted both ways. That the current regime believes its own actions will never be turned against them or, inversely, they will keep control ove

The UN is fundamentally and terminally flawed and always has been from the very beginning as ruse for what has always been a facade of “America’s” control of the world. It is why the UN lair is right on the East River, a proverbial stone’s

This really kind of highlights that not only is the “age check system” not at all about children, it is also about conditioning the adults into total control. If it were about children then it would be the children that would need to be res

You are missing the point of just how impactful "media" is on people's minds. It may even affect you so much that you either don't realize it or do not want to realize it. It is most apparent in America, but it has sprea
