Libertarians are an interesting group. They want government out of our lives as much as possible. But I believe they also stand for basic American values.
Trump went to Libertarian convention begging for votes, and wound up...

I've never missed an opportunity to watch a Planet of the Apes movie at the cinema since I was a kid in the 70s. And I've enjoyed the current series of Apes movies so far, so I wasn't going to miss the chance to see the latest...

Hello friends
It is a chilly night here, and my dinner is almost ready.
As we were preparing our dinner a question ran across my mind, when did I hold a book to read?
To my surprise, I could not even remember because most of...

I've just finished reading this 1978 science fiction novel by an author that I'm not otherwise familiar with. I don't think I've read anything by Joan D. Vinge before. Based on this book though, I'd definitely give any of her...

Victor Frankenstein I almost always have a book to read. It's a habit, if I've got nothing else to do I'll read. When I go to work, I take a packed lunch and a book. I read while I'm eating my lunch, and if there's a conversation going on I'll sometimes split my attention...

I called it. As soon as he responded to Biden's debate challenge ad I said that he wouldn't actually do it. He can't. He stumbles, slurs, and says the most insane things. There is a reason why the campaign hasn't had him do many...

I've been reading the adventures of Leslie Charteris' famous adventure character Simon Templar, aka “The Saint” in order of book publication. It's been a while since the last one, because I save money by buying books in job lots...

I'm still going through my large collection of Ace Doubles, the long-running series of science fiction paperbacks that was published from the early 50s to the early 70s. Each volume consisted of two books printed back to back –...

I've seen advertising for a new movie that's coming out soon - "Civil War", set in a nightmarish near future America. I've been thinking of seeing it. Has anyone else seen it yet, and if so do you think it's worth the price of a...

On September 8, 1966 "Star Trek: The Original Series" aired on NBC. It only ran for three years but it has changed the face of science fiction forever. Sadly most of the original actors have passed away. Leonard Nimoy died in 2015...

I read this morning that Donald Trump is selling Bibles. I have seen it on some "Lefty" websites, but I have also seen it from sources like NBC and CBS, sources I used to trust.
I read the Bible often, sometimes just randomly...

Seriously. Republicans in Congress have put forth legislation to rename Dulles International Airport in Washington DC after Trump. That of course is never going to fly. (no pun intended) In response Democrat representatives Jared...

Yup. Supposed billionaire Trump has launched a line of high top sneakers that are of course gold. They are as gaudy and gross as his NYC triplex. Interestingly they are named "Never Surrender Hi-Tops". Wasn't that Ron DeSantis'...
