Hello and Welcome!
This site is a sounding board for two fellows who have a lot to say from other perspectives than the “same ol’ nonsense” we are pummeled with every day, all day long. By that I mean, the nonsensical blatherings that we hear and see in the entrenched media, who are usually passing themselves [...]
