So most of you have received many pieces of snail mail where the solicitor or advertiser of a service DEMANDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION with implied threats or fines if recipient does not respond immediately. We got one of those today from Brian Werger, an agent of Trustage Insurance company, and his partner in crime Marsha Swanson who we were compelled to rush our correspondence back to. Brian's ruse was $5000 worth of free life insurance if you just went to the trouble to fill out the clumsy paperwork and return it postage free. This is around the 10th such unwanted advertisement we have received from  Brian and Marsha. We emailed him at Brian.Werger@cunamutual.com alerting him to the fact we DID NOT WANT TO SEE OUR MAIL BOX CLUTTERED WITH HIS STUFF. We did this 3 months ago and he persists in sending us CUNA Mutual Group's consumer brand promotional materials anyway!! I guess Miss Swanson, who may also be a Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage real estate agent working ou

Neil Patel did a video on his deep contempt for Adsense. Watched a few times and really never understood why he HATES them so much. Then he turned around and begged everybody to subscribe to his website so he could monetize base on hits to his site. It was pretty clear he was trying to create a fan base by dragging off his disdain for Google Adsense. AffiliateMarketingDude(Pipe smoking gentleman named Marcus) has a much more practical view of Pay Per Click advertising revenue via content network advertisers. Only critcism I have about Marcus is that he bragged too much about the multitude of his various income streams.

Illegal border crossings have flooded Border Patrol temporary holding areas, which were designed for 4,000 people but are currently holding around 15,000, according to John Sanders, the acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection. The most severe and dangerous crowding has been in El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley, where huge emergency tent shelters have been constructed in recent months. Liberal media and greedy profit seeking attorneys are jumping all over the so called inhumane treatment of illegal aliens in Clint, Texas. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is understandably upset with Congress for not taking measures to control unabated border crossing by illegal migrants with criminal histories. Also, why didn't  MOLLY HENNESSY-FISKE mention, in her Los Angeles newspaper article, that the law that gives automatic citizenship to the baby of an illegal born in the US should be IMMEDIATELY REPEALED . Why are lawyers like  Elora Mukherjee,  Warren Binford, et al swarming lik

Cautiously consider the advice of crypto currency advocate Naeem Aslam, who predicts Bitcoin will quickly hit the 100,000 dollar mark. Many poverty level to average income Americans became homeless after trusting Tom Lee's target price of $400,000 for the world's most trusted digital currency. Investors like Kim Hyon-jeong, Pete Roberts of Nottingham, England, and Derek Rose trusted pump and dump "experts" like Morgan Creek Digital partner Anthony Pompliano. Uninformed masses in South Africa, Nigeria, and Ghana are betting their family's nest eggs to get rich quick. A more financially prudent approach would be to set aside, say, no more than 10% of your savings to purchase shares in one of the bitcoin trust funds like GBTC for example. You pay a premium, but do not have to be worried about losing your bitcoins or having your phone hacked with your bitcoins being irretrievably stolen or lost. This avoids the risk of owning and protecting them. The safest way

There is a gas station named Murphy Express, near our summer home, in Roswell NM United States of America with all its US flags attached big ole trucks and waving in the front yards of boundless rednecks. Below you will see a for sale display full of cartons of cheap Pyramid Cigarettes(price $59.19) and wiper fluid. So my big complaint is why does this gas station make it so easy for truck drivers and other cross country motorists to purchase the cancer sticks?!!! The Liggett Group, based in Mebane, North Carolina has a massive, well scaled distribution chain to make these tar laced smokes way too easy to purchase. A damn carton of this potentially lethal fag(British for cigarette) contains 10 packs each containing 20 nicotine saturated cigarettes! US makes it too easy for its citizens to kill themselves!!!

It is quite expensive for diabetics to monitor their glucose levels at home. We use the Accu-Chek device(yes that is check misspelled) to measure our fasting blood sugar concentrations for the most part. The reason for this is that the diabetes diagnose is based on fasting glucose levels in milligrams per deciliter. You are officially diagnosed with diabetes if you have consecutive fasting blood sugar leves of 127 or higher. Now back to the cost of accurately measuring your blood sugar at home. The picture you see below is a test strip that originally had a small bottom yellow horizontal strip. Now note that red stain sort of in the middle of the once completely yellow strip. That is my wife's blood which did not quite absorb completely into the yellow strip for a reading! When we plugged that strip into the device, it returned the message "blood drop not big enough....please use redo the test with another strip". I am here to tell you we paid $50  for 100 of the

In the old west, if you stole or killed a man's horse you might hang by the neck until death. I would have expected a similar fate for James Laverne Lowery who killed 300,000 chickens in South Carolina. James Laverne Lowery overheated and cut off the ventilation in the chicken coups of for profit chicken farm grower Sonny Nguyen. The affable Vietnamese dude patiently waited for justice for the inhumane treatment of his beloved slaughtered chicken harvest at the hands of a lowlife business competitor. Chicken killer Lowery was allowed to walk away from it all as a free man. American justice at its finest!!??? Many thanks to  Ann Marie Rubin, Jean Willoughby, May Jones, Yusef Audeh et al for daily reminding Lowery that he has no place to turn and should be sentenced to death by hanging for screwing with an honest man's source of livelihood.

Me and our rental property management company in Roswell, NM personally thank city manager Joe Neeb for cancelling Mike Satterfield memorial fireworks display on fourth of July. Why? It sends a powerful message to the irresponsible adults of the city who litter our rent house lawns and ROOFS with dangerous, messy, and expensive bottle rockets, fizzlers, etc.!!! Mr Neeb, brilliantly, plans on replacing Roswell's annual health hazard with a much safer laser light show. Even if the reason for axing the Extravaganza was primarily due to the injuries of fire department heros Hoby Bonham and Jeff Stroble, the white trash that litters and disrespects private property with spent fireworks has been served notice. Thanks to Justin Powell, fire chief in Dexter, for organizing 7:30 pm vigil for Roswell's critically injured firefighters.

A gentleman by the name of Scott Sanborn sent us an official looking envelope via USA snail mail. You can view the picture of it at the bottom of this post. The CEO of Lending Club indicated we should open the letter at once since it contained important information . Scott also let us know that tampering with US mail may result in possible fine and incarceration. I guess Mr Sanborn did this to make it seem like the loan offer he enclosed was important. Scott, from the depth of his soul, wants to help all the poor folks consolidate their debt by transferring their high interest credit card debt to even higher rates with LendingClub. This was all very touching to me, so I did some research on Scottie boy. His net worth is 12 million USD and his annual salary as a lending executive is over $6,500,000. In case you haven't figured it out, how do you think Scott's 6.5 million dollar salary is paid?

Many "mature adults" need attention it seems these days. Rebecca Tafaro Boyer is an example of this. The Saint Jude Children's hospital nurse bragged on Facebook that her text probably saved her 3 month old baby's life. What led to this courageous text alerting Dad that junior was not strapped into his car seat properly? Rebecca was viewing video of her first born in the car with Dad when she noticed her not so safely secured kiddo in car seat. She quickly texted Papa, who made the "life saving" adjustments to car seat straps about 3 minutes prior to a high speed accident close to their residence. Rebecca's maternal instincts are to be lauded, but her need to publicize as though she is seeking credit or wants to be recognized is unsettling.

Bob Meyers was gushing how it was not fair that KD went down with another injury in the Game 5 victory against Toronto Raptors, as he delivered the news of Durant's injury. "Kevin just wants to play basketball" whined one of the Warrior's executives. Comon dude! What kind of excuse is that? All those millionaire studs just want to play too!! Bob was not saying much when Chris Paul was injured in game 5 of last years NBA finals between Rockets and Golden State. Rockets were up 3-2 and WOULD HAVE BEATEN the Warriors were it not for the devastating hamstring pull!

Chalk one up for our SAVIOR Donald Trump. The USA president was sick and tired of Central Americans illegally crossing the southern border and depleting medical resources, driving without a license, and not paying taxes for the services they consume! Our chief executive officer used the necessary leverage to stunt the entry of Central American migrant aliens, with criminal histories, into our country. Our "Remember the Alamo" neighbor is deploying national guard troops at the Guatemalan border to forcefully deny entry into the United States. Eight years of Kenyan anti-colonial Obama created too much of a comfort zone for these lowlifes looking for a free pass into the United States of America. The spike in illegal northerly migration is coming to a halt due to the efforts of the man I cast my vote for, THE DONALD!!
