A heart-warming sight
Pat was telling me she just watched a parent and child walking down the street wearing masks. The child was 2 or 3 years old.
Unquestionably, life has changed. For the very young too.
End of watching House MD
Our binge-watching the TV show House MD has come to a conclusion after 177 episodes and 133 hours of TV over 80 days since July 2
We had never heard of this hugely popular award winning program until we after watched a superb Hugh Laurie film on July 1. So I googled him and discovered it. We were hooked from the first few minutes.Tonight we watched the final four episodes.
Unquestionably this is our all-time favorite TV entertainment. Wow.
A storm cloud on the horizon??…..just read where 60% of restaurants are never expected to reopen…….a report from Mortgage News Daily. “Mortgage delinquencies spiked in June and the serious delinquency rate, loans 90 or more days past due but not in foreclosure, reached its highest level in more than five years. CoreLogic predicts that, barring additional government programs and support, serious delinquency rates could nearly double from the June 2020 level by early 2022. Not only could millions of families potentially lose their home, through a short sale or foreclosure, but this also could create downward pressure on home prices… Read more »
My conservative principles are not unbounded
As a conservative, I embrace the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets and limited government – but not blindly. As bad as I expect Biden to be, and I am not optimistic, four years under Biden would not be nearly as bad as another four years under Trump. So, given that I would never support Trump under any circumstances, I will await his loss in November before returning to the fold as a GOP advocate.
Aloha! Bill, I get your sentiment but there is no way I can vote back in the absolute corruption, lies, abuse of power and systemic decay of rights over the past 40 years!
kaimu…how can anyone see the deliberate disenfranchment of the tea oarty, the fast and furious weapons scandal, the destruction of Libya, the ignoring of the ISIS threat in Syria,selling of 20% of our uranium to Russia, hillaries e-mail scandal, the clinton foundation slush fund, etc, etc etc (not to mention Biden’s son and brother becoming multimillionaires under the dem watch to even think of these as the “good old days”
LOL
What do you think has happened in the past 4 years?
How can you ignore how close to civil war the current president has put the country?
We need a GOP who puts this crook into prison and puts forth a solid slate of candidates because you, kaimu and others are correct about the Dems, BUT there is a limit to my disgust of the past compared to my unlimited disgust of Trump.
Aloha! It used to be the practice of the political party who lost an election to begrudgingly accept the loss and move on and not to attempt to nullify the votes of 67million people through a fake FBI coup based on false Democrat paid for reports made up by British spies and corrupt FBI fisa abuses. Add in the constant non-stop fake impeachments by the opposing parties. Not to forget of course I am sure everyone here really believed that Judge Kavanaugh was a drug dealing gang rapist because the FBI background check he went through failed to detect his… Read more »
Aloha! Mail in votes. I got two here one with an address that does not even exist! I also got a letter from the USPS last week saying this “The delivery vehicle carrying mail you may have been expecting, caught fire and the mail was damaged and/or destroyed.” Who knew our Republic was founded on burning mail trucks!
VOTE EARLY AND VOTE IN PERSON!
turningpointusaAmerica Is Anti-Racist FACTS, @charliekirk1776! No Country Is Perfect ……I had to go to google search to get to this but well worth the effort as a counterpoint to the stuff being thrown out by the likes of the NYTimes……they are sure making it tough to get to some of this stuff……………and even as a history buff there was some here i was not aware of…….
Aloha! Those shouting systemic racism! If you did not live in the Democrat owned South during the 1950s and 1960s then you have never seen systemic racism. The South has reformed, police have reformed since the 1950s and 1960s and we have passed laws to reform like the ones promoted by Martin Luther King for civil rights. No more “white only” signs! Now the question is when will the black community reform and accept and practice family values not ghetto values. The Asian minority per capita is paid more than whites and in fact is the highest salaried employees in… Read more »
Aloha! On January 31 the HHS declared a public health emergency due to Covid-19! Before that Trump banned China travel.
Did Woodward not get the memo?
HERE!
More from the Coronavirus Whistleblower; she has evidence it came from one of CCP’s labs and will be publishing a paper; “…even people with no biology knowledge can read it … verify by yourself…” Talk about a “patriot” … for human life; she is risking everything; thank God you can’t keep a good women down. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/chinese-doctor-claims-she-has-evidence-coronavirus-was-created-lab
Aloha! This lady makes BLM and Antifa look like a joke. If anything if there are any US protests against racism and fascism and bigotry and zenophobia then the perfect place to protest is right in front of every Chinese CCP Consulate in America! Key to going forward with civilization is the destruction of the CCP!
Aloha! I just donated to Erica Kious on GO FUND ME against the edict of the California Communist Supreme Democrat Dictator! Us NFIB peeps gotta stick together and fight the elite establishment in Washington DC.

Aloha! Had a run in with skin cancer! Not surprising since age three I have lived in sunny places starting with Maracaibo, Venezuela literally right near the equator! Southern California, Texas, Hawaii and West Australia! All sun meccas!
Beware out there!
I share your concern. Having had 5 or 6 skin cancers including 3 melanomas, I am usually the only person swimming in the ocean wearing t-shirt and hat

Delightful wine. But I must admit that California, Washington and British Columbia produce comparable wines. For celebrations though, I love a chateauneuf-du-pape
The GOP speeches I liked Now that the GOP fireworks and shouting is over, I will say there was a wide gap in the speeches I liked vs disliked or simply found ineffective. My winners were Nikki Haley, Sen. Tim Scott, Eric and Lara Trump, and Kayleigh McEnany. In particular, I thought Scott and McEnany were superb. I disagree with the WH venue and the inclusion of the Secretary of State, but the rest of the four days was pretty much as expected. Most voters have already made up their minds, so from now til Nov. 3 will be a… Read more »
Aloha! The only speech that mattered on night one of the RNC is HERE.
Simply awesome; thanks for sharing; just didn’t have the time to watch them all; from the heart; he fought back tears the whole time; I saw love and humility; I saw Christian values; these are the things that make America great; let no man ever forget where our foundation lies. Faith and Freedom. Have you ever read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand Kaimu? For me, second only to the Good Book. She defected from Russian and wrote a story about love and many of the reasons why America is great but could be destroyed by those that simply do not… Read more »
It was an effective speech to a relatively small number of Miami-based Cuban ex-pats. However, the majority of Americans understand that the Castro regime is no threat to America. It’s a threat only to its own people. Having lived there and knowing the mindset of the people and working with many who supported billcara.com, I never met a single one who supported the dictatorship. Those we knew who worked in govt jobs spoke openly about their admiration for America and their desire for freedom. Unfortunately Trump is doing nothing to help any of the many Cubans I know who are… Read more »
Excellent speech tonight by Eric Trump.
GOP platform 2024 We may have seen it tonight with Nikki Haley (who I will continue to promote) and Sen. Tim Scott. As for Don Trump Jr and girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, what was that!!! I am thinking that the Dems will be paying MSM big money to run those speeches on a loop. When somebody is talking to you and their mouth is so contorted, you figure they are about to spit at you and it’s a good time to duck, that is definitely not helping the cause. I have to think those speeches are going to be the laughter… Read more »
Aloha! When it was 2016 I saw some Hillary signs and even a couple Beto signs in yards in my neighborhood, a small subdivision north of Houston. Today, August 2020, I can drive around and I see zero Biden signs and hundreds of Trump signs. I even see golf carts drive around the neighborhood with Trump flags. On my way to an area known as The Woodlands I saw one Biden flag. Nothing more! I have yet to see a Biden bumper sticker even in a Trader Joes and in a Whole Food parking lot I saw three Biden bumper… Read more »
I am in Westchester County New York. We border New York City. Like NYC, Westchester is heavily democrat. I don’t see a lot of lawn signs for Biden. Possibly, people will be voting for Biden but there is no enthusiasm? By memory, I saw more Hillary signs on people’s lawns in 2016. I also don’t see many Trump signs now, but that’s expected. New York State is heavily democrat but only in the population centers. When you look at a map of the state showing all of the counties and how each county voted in 2016, you see that voters in more urban counties voted for… Read more »

The fourth turning: why American ‘Crisis’ May Last Until 2030
This article is food for thought.
While I definitely agree that the US must take care of its own before other countries in the world including Canada and Mexico, which apparently is a Trump mission, it’s the flawed character in the president that I cannot overlook.
Aloha! I was not sure where to put this. Naturally there is a severe economic and financial risk involved. VOLCANO ACTIVITY ON HIGH Go HERE and see an interactive global map of active and rumbling volcanoes. It is no wonder they cluster where the earth’s plates are which also means earthquakes and volcanoes go hand in hand! A lot of new eruptions. Even one under Antarctica! Maybe Greta and AOC can spend $100tril of other peoples money to cork them all! On the Big Island there are rumblings but not at Kilauea at Mauna Loa which is closer to Kailua-Kona… Read more »

Aloha! It is too bad that political correctness is forcing state and local governments from solving the covid-19 problem. Is it not common sense to restrict those who produce the most cases? For instance in Hawaii the Pacific Islanders are 4% of the total Hawaii population but they account for 30% of new cases as of Aug 13th data. During the Obama administration he brought in Pacific Islanders from mostly Micronesia because of “climate change” and gave them a free place to stay and $25k in cash. The native Hawaiians were very upset about that. If someone is trespassing and… Read more »
Aloha! Does anyone know what Robert Mueller’s last investigation was before he was hired by the Democrats to investigate Trump’s vast Russian connections? It was in 2015. Go HERE to see it. If you want to see the incident on video go HERE! The same NFL Roger Godell who now takes a knee against police violence!
I never thought much of the Russian interference investigation. I always thought it was a cover to get at Trump’s financial dealings with Russian money-launderers who were financing his real estate deals that America’s big banks wouldn’t touch.
Al Capone and Frank Nitti were never convicted of their crimes directed at the public. It was for income tax evasion. I think the Feds were (are) interested in Trump for the same reason.
Aloha! It seems mostly criminals take knees!
Aloha! I started to worry about CCP virus back when the first news reports out of China showed the CCP building four new hospitals in Wuhan in a couple weeks! I always thought it would be worse than influenza and it has resulted in more US deaths, but the flu has resulted in more cases per CDC data than the CCP virus. In fact maybe near ten times more flu cases than Covid-19 according to CDC data. See CDC image below. Even with CCP(Covid-19) virus cases at 5.4mil in the US many news stories conveniently leave off how many have… Read more »
We agree on the question of who represents the citizens of American cities, but I would expand that to the American people. Having lived five years in a rural community of about 25 people 80 miles from Toronto, I can say that the people there were far more independent, but the politics was much the same.
The majority of US politicians after first being elected get drunk with power. That leads to personal wealth with power. The huge majority of their constituents are getting poorer.
This is happening in every democracy, sorry i.e., republic, in the world. .
Aloha! Classic CCP! The bribe money for the Bidens and Obamas and Bush and Romney and the NBA and Harvard professors and Hollywood will soon dry up! Xi is following Mao right down to starving 30mil!! So much for the China Miracle …
COVID-19 and Trump. Two monumental disasters How COVID-19 has changed our lives is the biggest story in my lifetime, and probably yours. But a second story comes close to being as big a disaster. My blog comment 2020/03/07 at 11:57 am Regarding COVID-19, I suspect there will be tens of millions infected and possibly hundreds of thousands of deaths in the world this year. There are reports the problem will become much worse, but I think testing, avoiding crowds, personal hygiene, controls on international travel, and hopefully the discovery of vaccines, will limit the extent of the crisis. A few… Read more »
Actually, Our Landing on the Moon 20-July-1969 was probably the most memorable moment in many of our lifetimes.
Dr. David Samadi, MD @drdavidsamadi
According to the CDC, through the end of July the average number of total deaths in the United States per day was 7,434 this year. In 2017 there were an average of more than 7,700 deaths per day in the United States. Where is the major increase in COVID-19 related death?
171,535 deaths today
19 deaths March 7
Says it all my friend, and you want to divert facts with convoluted logic? Not buying it for a second.
Why don’t you spend time listening to the front-line doctors and nurses who, while horrified at what’s happening, are putting their lives on the line to help us?
Not sure what data-set Samadi used or what was going on in 2017 (re flu season, etc) but the data from cdc shows deaths are 10% above the 2017–2019 baseline (if I’m reading the table correctly) …
