on January 2nd, 2022 by admin

Thus ending the conglomerate status of GE. Full disclosure, I worked as a contractor […]

The Evolution of Steve Jobs

on February 2nd, 2020 by admin

It’s been 9 years since Steve Jobs has died. And I can say his absence is greatly felt in the business world. We all know about Walter Issacson’s seminal biography for which I have not read. However, my favorite blogger Gus Van Horn posted about a biography that is not as well know called Becoming […]

Theranos

on September 24th, 2019 by admin

I know it has been a long time since I have written a blog post. My father’s health took a turn for the worse in January. Sadly, he died in May. I just have not been in the mood to blog. I’ve been dealing with grief, my father’s estate, and my own life. I am […]

Have you ever wondered why the United States has had 14 banking crises since the country’s inception, whereas Canada has had none?  Or why Mexico and Brazil has some of the riches natural resources on the planet yet the majority of its populations live in poverty.  I just finished reading an interesting book that answers […]

Does Male Power Exist?

on September 11th, 2013 by admin

Dr. Warren Farrell book The Myth of Male Power answers the question to my post title.  And that answer is no.  Farrell’s’ book dispels the myth that men are the dominant gender.  From previous posts here and here, I discuss how the feminist movement, in its quest for women to be taken seriously in the […]

The Real Story Behind The 2008 Financial Crisis

on December 25th, 2012 by admin

Whatever you heard about the financial crisis is false!  We’ve all heard the same tired reasons about why the real estate market and financial industry collapsed.  The most common meme is that the banking industry was deregulated so therefore  deregulation caused the crisis.  Former Chairman and CEO of BB&T John Allison has written a book […]

The United States Is No Longer A Free Country.

on July 3rd, 2012 by admin

No one should be surprised by the Supreme Court decision upholding the dishonestly named Affordable Care Act.  Add this case to the long list of cases such as Dred Scott v Sanford and Plessy v Ferguson, as a negative turning point in American history.  The issue at hand was whether Congress had the authority, under the Commerce Clause […]

THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM! THE COMING DESTRUCTION OF AMERICAN SOCIETY.

on March 20th, 2010 by admin

I am enraged!!!  Point blank, I am appalled by the spectacle of Washington, D.C.  The White House and Congress are working together to undermine, or more accurately, destroy the Constitution.  This isn’t some old document that isn’t relevant.  This document laid the moral foundations of our nation.  But a document such as our Constitution is […]
