The markets are in turmoil and as expected all of the government's promises of protection are turning out to be empty. What does one do, where does one go? I can only share what I have done with what little a preacher of a small church can.

Most people have heard of the "Everything Bubble," so I made up the "Easy Bubble." The bubble of easy money. Easy money made belief in pretty much anything, fairly easy to do. But just like the Everything Bubble, there are a lot of people swimming naked.

In this episode, I compare the US with a 500 pound gorilla from the joke about a 500 pound gorilla. One doesn't really trust a gorilla, one just gets out of its way. The gorilla is old now... and the landscape of global flexing is changing.

"How did I become the Hippie" was something that I sometimes said in class in the university. It was meant to be funny because I look NOTHING like the stereotypical long-haired-promiscuous-drug using-outdoor rock concert attending Hippie from the 1960's. So, what IS a Hippie??

I ranted/vented in this episode. You might be able to tell by the title. But the war drums are beating louder, and many Americans are clueless. I guess this is me trying to do my part to raise awareness about the dark road of war we are on for the sake of the country I love.

It's Sunday which makes it Jesus Day. This passage begins with "Do not Judge". Seems simple and plain enough, but is there more? Well, maybe. And if there's a little twist in the interpretation, then what does it do to our life of faith, what effect do we see? Blessings and Peace.

There seems to be no shortage of interpretations and speculations regarding the Tariff policies of Trump. Does HE even know? Is it all misdirection, part of the art of a deal? Does Trump know about Triffin's Dilemma? Well... all of us should work on our arguments favoring Freedom.

I heard someone use this expression today so I thought I would discuss it here. It was used unproblematically, but it is a Trojan Horse.

Cory Booker's 25-hour speech seems to be a lukewarm topic of the moment, I take a look at that. What was accomplished by that speech? I wonder. My 6th grade class wrapped a section on Rome. How similar it is to the US today.

No gags are in this episode. But we are going to take a more serious look at the gag filled day of April Fool's Day. Perhaps we are all April Fools now.
