Hy Ate Us

Hi all,

I think the time has come to put a pause on this blog.  I'm not going to shut it down, but my posting frequency has been suffering of late. I've enjoyed the last 17 years of blogging, but my time availability has declined over the past couple of months due to my work schedule. 

As a result, I will not be able to post at a regular interval over the foreseeable future. Therefore I am putting the blog on hiatus, at least temporarily. In the future I will return, but I cannot say exactly when at this time. In the meantime, I will be retaining the domain name

I will be back, I just cannot say when at this time.

For those of you have commented and followed, I appreciate your interest and/or support very much. 

I look forward to reconnecting again in the future.

Happy New Year!

Wishing all common sense conservatives, Christians, libertarians, and everyone else, a joyful, peaceful and prosperous 2026.

Common sense is gone?

This gentleman makes a strong case for the notion that people no longer understand how to act in public.

 Merry Christmas to everyone, I hope your holiday season is filled with joy, hope and love.

The economy is in gear already!

I've been expecting a solid Q2 2026, maybe even Q1, but definitely Q2 onward. It turns out, 2025 has ss way ahead of schedule on the boom.

Via Breitbart:

The Commerce Department said U.S. gross domestic product—the government’s official economic scorecard—rose at a seasonally and inflation-adjusted 4.3 percent annual rate in the third quarter. The report on the July through September period was delayed due to the shutdown.

“Today’s blockbuster, expectation-smashing GDP report is the latest proof that President Trump’s America First trade and economic agenda continues to turn the page on the Biden economic disaster: American consumers are spending, and American exports are surging,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said. “President Trump built the greatest economy in the world in his first term, and he’s in the process of doing it all over again. Americans can count on benefitting from a historic economic boom in 2026.”

Gross domestic product is a broad measure of the goods and services produced across the economy. Economists had expected the economy to grow at a 3.2 percent annual rate after the second quarter’s 3.8 percent growth.

Prior to the inflation adjustment, the economy grew at an 8.2 percent rate.

...Donald Trump’s trade policies appear to have added to growth in the third quarter, as exports rose 8.8 percent while imports fell 4.7 percent. Exports add to GDP while imports, because they represent foreign production, are subtracted.

...Due to the government shutdown, this “initial estimate” actually combines data typically used for both the advance and second estimates, so it may be more reliable than usual initial readings.
