According to Johns Hopkins’ Medicine website there is a disproportionate rate of illness, and death in the black community from COVID-19. The report points out in Chicago where African-Americans comprise one third of the city’s population they account for half of those who have tested positive for coronavirus and almost 75% of the COVID-19 deaths. In another report Johns Hopkins says in Milwaukee, African-Americans make up 70% of the deaths due to the coronavirus but just 26% of the city’s population.

While much of the focus has been on African-Americans disproportionately contracting and dying from the Covid 19 virus other…

According to the National Digital Forecast Database, over 70% of the lower 48 states are covered by snow. As of February 15, 2021, Texas was hit; not only with snow, wind and ice, but half of their wind turbine generating stations were shut down, leaving 4 million Texans, perhaps more, without electrical power. Almost ¼ of Texas’ electrical power is created by wind turbines. …

NPR reported that President Biden says that the following is being spent in his $1.9 Trillion COVID-19 stimulus package.

• $160 Billion on a national vaccine program, which includes $20 billion for distribution and $50 billion for expanded testing.
• $170 Billion for K-12 schools and higher education that provides for $130 billion for schools to safely reopen
• $350 Billion in emergency funding for state and local governments.
• $441 Billion for $1,400 in stimulus

The total amount identified in these four items is $1,121 trillion, so my question is, where is the remaining almost $800 billion going?

Let’s look…

Trillions of dollars of COVID stimulus money coming from the Federal government going to the states, cities, and school district do not have to be paid back. The aggregate amount of money given to the beneficiaries is over $1 trillion and will climb again with the passage of President Biden’s $1.9 trillion dollar stimulus. The funding is already over $4 trillion, and with the passage of the Biden stimulus, the number will be approaching $6 trillion.

I, like many of us, have small business friends who have been decimated by the economic effects of the virus. Many…

When we make a decision that affects someone other than ourselves, it may be a good idea to take some time and Think Things Through in what I call the “3T’s.” The more people who may be affected by your decision, the more the need to seek advice from others to gain insight and different points of view before you decide what to do. President Biden signed a slew of executive orders the day he was sworn in that made me question if he followed the 3 T’s? One was closing construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline…

Joe Biden-Transparency, Please

President Biden is submitting to Congress a Coronavirus stimulus package estimated at $1.9 trillion. Depending upon how you count, this would be the third or the fourth stimulus bill since the pandemic broke out about a year ago. I don’t know about you, but to me, these are outrageous numbers, and it’s almost impossible the figure out how the money is going to be spent.

Before this bill becomes law and we go another $1.9 trillion in debt, I decided to try and figure out where the money was going and if the projections…

Radio, newspaper, television, and the Internet are full of stories about limiting free speech. There are groups of people in the United States who think that they are the only people thinking correctly, and therefore anybody else who doesn’t think the way they do should not be allowed to speak their mind.

One of this country’s founding Patriots, Patrick Henry, said, “I disapprove of what you say. But I will defend to the death you’re right to say it.” Today, people say something different; I disapprove of what you say; therefore, you have no right to say it.
