SCHOOL LUNCH DEBT + As with so many other government programs, school lunch programs don’t make sense. The programs start with a well-intentioned thought: “Kids who eat lunch do better in school.” (That thought assumes that kids who eat lunch do WELL in school. More than one local district has below 50% who are competent in math, science, and/or …

GUEST POST from Don – Health & Safety
HEALTH AND SAFETY 1. YOU SHOULD GROW YOUR OWN COFFEE If you are concerned about manufactured chemicals in coffee DO NOT buy coffees labeled as Organic. Sorry to say a recent study by The Clean Label Project found “Roundup” in every “organic coffee” sample they tested. You are thinking, “They didn’t test MY coffee.” Well, maybe. They only tested …

GUEST POST from Don – Comments on News
COMMENTS ON NEWS Fox reports: “MSNBC’s Jen Psaki turns church school shooting into attack on prayer, Trump’s DC crime crackdown” Psaki intoned the long-used rhetoric that “prayer is not enough.” She thinks (wrongly) that more legislation is needed.

GUEST POST from Don – Family Leave Policy

GUEST POST from Don – Without PBS
WITHOUT PBS We’ve survived without it before. We surely can again. Growing up a bit ago in the foothills of mid-Pennsylvania, we never could get a clear NET Television signal on UHF.
