Segregation is alive and well. After a series of sexual assaults against women in Cologne, Germany, by Muslim migrants, a German rail service announced it was instituting “women only” train cars to protect women who ride the train. The Mitteldeutsche Regiobahn rail company says “the segregated train cars are designed to make women traveling alone or with small children feel safe.” Each train will have two “women-only” compartments “located at the center of the train and close to the customer service compartment.” Boys up to the age of ten will be allowed access to the special cars as well. But … Continue reading →

After hearing the comments from Russian President Vladimir Putin to the UN in September of 2015 I realized it was time for me to try to write the book others have been telling me I needed to write since 1970, about my experiences in the war. Putin’s speech said things no American politician would dare discuss. He talked about America’s disastrous policies in the Middle East. “But how did it actually turn out? Rather than bringing about reforms, an aggressive foreign interference has resulted in a brazen destruction of national institutions and the lifestyle itself. Instead of the triumph of democracy … Continue reading →

From Amazon.com: Erik Larson is not capable of writing anything less than a gripping account of history. All of his previous books have been spellbinding accounts of storms, cities, crimes, inventions, ships and/or war. In DEAD WAKE: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania, Larson returns to the subjects of war and ships and stirs in a potent mixture of international politics as well as a little romance to once again seduce his readers with a contemporary view of a historical situation. Written to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania, a Cunard passenger liner sunk by a … Continue reading →

Loneliness and losing your sense of smell have been included on a list of ‘hidden killers’ that could deny you a long and healthy life. Broken sleep and difficulty in walking also appear on the list, compiled by Chicago researchers. Odd as it may seem, even something as seemingly innocuous as an arm broken in middle-age may affect the odds of dying years later. The researchers say these factors are just as important as obvious medical conditions such as weight, blood pressure, and heart disease. In fact, being obese won’t necessarily send people to an early grave. And age, it … Continue reading →

“It’s a suicide mission,” said the Republican Party Chairman. Reince Priebus was commenting on a Washington Post story about Mitt Romney and William Kristol’s plot to recruit a third-party conservative candidate to sink Donald Trump. Several big-name Republican “consultants” and “strategists” are said to be on board. Understandably so, given the bucks involved. With the kind of cash that sloshes around in a presidential campaign, there should be no shortage of super PAC parasites at the enlistment office. Still missing, however, is the kamikaze pilot who gets just enough fuel to make it out to the fleet. Efforts to recruit … Continue reading →

The deadliest industrial disaster in U.S. history occurred on April 16, 1947, in Texas City, Texas. When the French ship SS Grandcamp exploded, a thousand buildings were destroyed and hundreds of people were killed. Among the dead were half the firefighters in the Texas City Fire Department. All of their firefighting equipment was destroyed, too, which made the city more vulnerable to the damage of the second explosion. U.S. Federal Government via Wikimedia Commons // Public Domain Texas City, located on Galveston Bay, was founded in 1893 by a group of investors who dredged a channel for ships and built … Continue reading →

New cars  are very good at meeting Uncle’s crash test requirements – but even minor impacts can and do cause a lot of very expensive damage. Despite the fact that most new cars are really heavy. Older, pre Uncle-ized cars may not have been as “safe” – as measured by Uncle’s current criteria – but they were harder to damage. Minor fender benders were just that; the entire front clip of the car didn’t crumple like a ball of Reynolds Wrap. This despite the fact that most of them were a lot lighter than today’s cars. This interesting juxtaposition is chiefly … Continue reading →
