Plastic bag laws unlawful

Posted on June 22, 2018 | 3 comments

The Texas supremes have overruled city anti-plastic bag laws. Does this mean we’ll be back to free baggies? Not likely, now that grocers like HEB are making money off selling bags. Besides the cities will just rewrite their anti-bag laws to comply with the supremes. Wait and see.

Fauda, Season 2

Posted on June 20, 2018 | Comments Off on Fauda, Season 2

Fauda the second time around is better than ever. Through episode six anyhow. Now blending the IDF elite force against Hamas, the Palestinian Authority and ISIS. With sometimes help from the PA which doesn’t want the competition. Nor, at times, does Hamas. So they fight each other.

“What distinguishes the series from a run of the mill tale of Good & Evil, is its ambivalence and its ever-changing perspective as the narrative switches back and forth between Israelis and Palestinians. That is its claim to originality and excellence…

“To begin, the protagonists look, walk, dress and speak the same, with Palestinians and Israeli switching smoothly from Hebrew to Arabic, and vice versa…It doesn’t require a subtle mind to get the subtext: Look how alike we are.”

Indeed, it’s easy, at times, to forget who the bad guys are. Well, for one on the outside looking in. One knows it’s not so simple on the inside.

The Open Borders Mob

Posted on June 19, 2018 | 2 comments

Save the chil-rens. Save the chil-rens. Save the chil-rens!

What nonsense. Hollyweird. The Mediacrats. Laura Bush (!)

They all want open borders and will do anything to get them. Lie. Steal.

Stay the course, President Trump. They won’t love you even if you fold.

The Tecate Journals

Posted on June 17, 2018 | Comments Off on The Tecate Journals

Author Keith Bowden’s superb writing is what carries this extraordinary story of mountain biking/raft- and canoe-cruising of the Rio Grande from El Paso in far west Texas to Brownsville on the Gulf of Mexico.

His encounters with riverside Mexicans, thanks to his fluency in Spanish, are fascinating. Although he had previously lost his young daughter to cancer, one likes to think her spirit was with him over the loneliest stretches of the river’s wilderness.

The urban sections of the river, from Laredo to Brownsville, are equally compelling thanks to his linguistic ability, but it’s the upper reaches of the river where he goes for days without seeing anyone that make the tale.

Robber Baron

Posted on June 16, 2018 | 2 comments

Jeff Bezos, the “richest man in history” according to Breitbart Tech news has been petitioned by more than 400 of his employees at the WaPo for better pay and benefits:

“All we are asking for is fairness for each and every employee who contributed to this company’s [improving] success: fair wages; fair benefits for retirement, family leave and health care; and a fair amount of job security,” the letter continued, adding, ‘Offering $10 a week in pay increases – or about 0.6 percent of the median salary and less than half the current rate of inflation – is unfair and even shocking from someone who believes democracy dies in darkness.’

“Working conditions at Bezos’ other company, Amazon, have also been criticized, with employees reportedly being worked to ‘exhaustion’ while trying to fulfill ‘impossible’ targets, and even urinating into bottles and trash cans for fear of being sanctioned over bathroom breaks.”

Wow. Liberal/lefty Bezos is a modern robber baron out to get/stay rich off the backs of his wage slaves.
