IDF soldiers return to northern border   There seems to be a serious effort afoot in both Europe and North America to stop the sale of weapons to Israel. Who is going to stop disrupters, haters and extremists in Iran, Somalia, India, North Korea and China from selling weapons to Hamas thugs, Hezbollah and other Palestinian terrorists? Hezbollah missile system in Southern Lebanon Has everyone forgotten that Palestine was a British creation, an attempt to maintain some control in the Middle East and ensure access to the Suez Canal? That Britain was forced by Jewish militants to relinquish control of the area to those it had been taken from centuries before? That area never was Palestinian . It was British for a time – a very short time in relation to the history of the area – and those directing the British government at the time put some local tribes they thought they could control in charge. However, several years of insurgence, terrorism and strife from the people wh...

 Grady MacTavish and the crew at MacWood Productions, with some background from Dawson Creek's "Walter Wright Pioneer Village" put together a book trailer for my oldest published novel and here it is. Grady wrote a narration script for me to read and I see it as a good production that explains the basics of the story. The story/novel in question is "The Great Liquor War" but the sequel to it, "Homesteader: Finding Sharon" is also available as an audio. I'm also recording "Partners" - should be available by mid-June and "Wester People: A Short Story Timeline", hopefully available by July 15, 2024. I had this done to kick off the audio version. Yes, it is the oldest published novel, but it has only recently been released as an audio - narrated by the author. Apparently there are many listeners of audio novels out there including a bunch of commercial drivers, a group that I was part of for twenty two years before I retired. Yes, I...

I can't get over anyone having the gall to make these claims and the stupidity of Canadians to suck this crap in. It's no wonder people (well, 30% anyway) have been accepting the actions of the Federal Liberal party and voting for them. After listening to the twisted logic of Hamas Justine aTruedope might even sound logical. The Palastinians launched a sneaky, no-warning attack on non-,military targets and killed a couple of thousand people and it's Israel's fault. ?????????? Where are the umpires? Where is the Geneva Convention? The world has come to know that the UN is an ineffective waste of money, but surely they can at least make some noise.   Beam me up Mister Spock. Logic has died.

                         It’s been a couple of years now since I retired and I’ve been enjoying it. One of the ways of achieving that has been to keep busy and much of that business has been the recording of my stories.           Why would I do that?           The easiest answer would be that I write those stories so that people can be entertained and the addition of audio books widens the scope of those who can be entertained. Readers, yes, but now listeners.           But it also goes back to the last 22 years of my so called “working life”.   At least 60% of that time was by myself and with little to occupy me but the pictures floating around in my imagination.           Sure, those pictures sometimes turne...

            Remembrance Day is back around again and, as with most times each year, it isn’t hard to understand the admonition that “If we don’t make a point of remembering this foolishness, we’ll do it again.”           Why?           Because we’re well on the way to doing it again. Israel, Gaza and Ukrainian certainly but attacks on humans because of religion, skin color, political persuasion or some other excuse to cover the fact that the attacker can’t think for himself.           Enough of that for now; enjoy the story.           Bye the way, this story and poem are about to be re-released in “People of the West: A short story timeline,” on Amazon, probably by end of November.   Deacon By D.M.

 Even with slanted reporting or forces trying to hide what's happing one can still see and hear.  Some of it's even acceptable. Much of it isn't. A great deal is, admittedly, depressing. But concentrate on the uplifting stories and try not to spread the crap. Hopefully the following supply a grin or a chuckle. The Legacy By D.M. McGowan   With Trudeau our shepherd we shall forever want His spending and taxes lead us to debt and despair He forces our offspring to lie down in barren pastures He leadeth us to business in polluted waters Tthere is no rod and staff for evil doers But   a welcome into larcenous brotherhood Lies and fraud are placed on high For moral actions no just reward But the laws of nature will again prevail For a broken ship can no longer sail Pray a return to reason sure and sound Before the entire crew sink and drown So Very Helpful By D.M. McGowan   They’re all looking after us I heard the other day A new p...

 Are things finally looking up? Or is it all just a flash in the pan? This is an opinion piece. If you like it, that’s great. If you don’t that’s good, too. Leave a comment regardless of your stance. You are entitled to your opinion. Travis Tritt 2022 Kid Rock 2022 I was beginning to think we might not see a demonstration of intelligence ever again. But finally, someone has made a stand for logic. Hopefully that action, though it might cost them a small amount will grow and expand so that we can all get back onto a productive, sustainable track to success for the majority. I’ve been getting very tired of courts creating legislation. Laws that govern the interaction of the diverse members of society should, to my mind, be created for the people by the people. That is, a majority of the population choose representatives   (definitely NOT “leaders”) to create laws which ensure development, (growth or progress) and safety for a majority of the population in a way and for a resul...
