I certainly will never be accused of being a Trump supporter (well, unless by a total idiot) and I'm not doing so now...

SOOOOO...  last night Stephen Colbert felt he would exercise his "straight…

Few movies about US history, particularly the war torn pages of the past, stand up to the test of accurate depiction especially when presented by Hollywood. “Thirteen Hours” has been acclaimed not only for its accuracy but for the well portrayed tension and the self-induced tragedy…

A couple of people have commented that they can't figure out the new front page.

Many of you here at Oursalon are familiar with my posts about my family.

You may remember that my father has suffered some serious health setbacks over the last two years, and at his age, each of them could have been the last one.

I've visited a couple of times a year since moving to the West Coast. Last visit was this past fall, when he turned 85.…

Virginia Police Probe Cat Shaving Abductions:  Police and townsfolk in Waynesboro, Virginia, are trying to figure out why someone is abducting local pet cats and then returning them with all the hair on their underbellies completely shaved off.…

History is fraught with incidents and conspiracies that have been intentionally denied or out and out disputed by the very sources of those schemes. False flag operations, assassinations, coups, and propaganda have been used for centuries to bring about control of the masses or in some…

Perhaps one of the biggest fraudulent schemes ever perpetrated upon the American people that would create more economic duress than any other blunder the government could have concocted was the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. A legislation of questionable ratification…
