Mike Rinder is in the podcast

Reviewed: 01-20-25

Marc, for those of us who are also grieving Mike, could you not include him for a few weeks in podcasts? It is heart rending to hear his voice right now. Maybe when it is not such raw grief. Thank you.

Wish This Had Been Disney’s Sequel

Reviewed: 09-25-23

If only Disney had gone this way. So wonderful to be back with old friends on a familiar adventure. Disney, you really missed the boat. So bittersweet knowing this would have been awesome on the big screen. And to think of what the “sequels” actually were… Sigh. Read this if you love Star Wars. If you love sequels 7, 8, and 9… read it anyway and learn why older generation SW fans despise what has been done to something they grew up with and so dearly loved.

Liberal Writer Talks About Nuclear Waste

Reviewed: 08-31-23

Author is obviously a liberal. Buyer beware. He implies in the prologue that conservatives are uneducated hicks in the sticks who wave flags and have no understanding about nuclear waste. He discounts the Cold War, dislikes anything capitalist, and claims the US didn’t have to bomb Nagasaki to end the war. Oh, and he’s a “graduate degree journalist” and proud of it.

Being a graduate degree conservative myself who is NOT a journalist, I found I had some questions for the author:

1. Has he ever heard of Iwo Jima and about how many Americans died there pulling every enemy out of their hidden holes and defensive positions? Has he ever used those facts to help him understand why the US did not want to invade mainland Japan in WWII?

2. Has he ever actually spoken to someone from the Greatest Generation?

3. Has he ever actually studied socialism and communism?

I could go on, given he said he hopes this book will cause “young people to revolt and demand more government oversight of Hanford.”

Clearly he still thinks government is the answer to every problem despite a nearly 80 year track record at Hanford stating otherwise. He blames the corporations who have worked at Hanford and says the DOE is understaffed and so cannot regulate properly. Really…? Your solution is to throw more government and money at the problem and think this time it will work?

Definitely a young author who if asked would
likely want to say, “socialism and communism haven’t worked because they haven’t been properly tried yet.”

Despite the liberal dribble throughout the book, if you are interested in the Hanford cleanup project as of the 2020’s, he does give facts. I suffered the whole book to learn this because I wanted to know. Buyer beware though, you have a lot of green thinking to wade through to get to those facts.

To the author: non fiction books are best when you keep your own bias out of them. Try harder next time.

Self Absorbed Memoir

Reviewed: 02-12-23

This is a story about a person raised in faith who chooses another path. Her change of path is directly related to her feelings of the moment and her belief that she can be the author of her own salvation. She even says this in the book. If you are Christian, this book will sadden you as she moves farther and farther away from Jesus to the point where she says she likes what He says about love, but she embraces Buddha and Ghandi in the same way as the Son of God and sees no difference between them. The book does give some detail about Jehovah’s Witnesses, but mostly this is a book written by an author who is trying to justify her own life choices. To the buyer beware.

Liberal who likes nuclear power

Reviewed: 11-20-22

He berates Reagan as a warmonger and praises Gorbechov as a man who could have ridden the world of nuclear weapons. Then he goes on to discount any science from Russia and claims that there is “nothing credible” from scientists who have studied Chernobyl long term. He says there’s no long term danger to exposure to radiation and cites the studies from Hiroshima as evidence, but fails to note those studies didn’t start until 5 years after the bombs dropped and take no account of any deaths after the bomb to when the study starts.

In summary, he ignores any science or studies he doesn’t agree with, attacks conservative thinking and decides at the end of his book that we all need to grow up and embrace nuclear energy as the way to stop global warming and to stop using coal and gas. He never pays any attention to how we might have caused global warming through nuclear accidents and nuclear tests and seems to have blinders on when it comes to long term damage from radiation across the planet. Occasionally he has a paragraph or two about these things but quickly moves back to his propaganda.

If you don’t know anything about nuclear energy, this book will give you a timeline of the people and history. If you do know about research across the globe and the dangers of long term nuclear exposure, this book will drive you batty.

Be warned, the author has his own agenda which he never openly acknowledges. Read this book with a grain of salt and do more research. Don’t think of this author as being an expert.

By the way, I’m not a scientist, a physicist, or a nuclear expert. I am an American social worker. If I can learn to understand the nuances of atomic energy and how it has impacted our environment, anyone can. Learn people. Learn so that we actually can do something about the real environmental issues we face. Fossil fuels are not the real problem. Let’s face the hidden elephant in the room.

Slavery from a liberal perspective

Pretty good overview. Didn’t appreciate the political overtones. Yes, I meant to say overtones as they are obvious.

Compare to COVID

Reviewed: 04-28-22

It is amazing how similar the plague in 1664 mirrors what has happened with current COVID. Well worth the read just to make your own comparison. We think we have come so far with medicine, but in modern times as in those, God’s Providence must be praised and honored.

Hitler was a Junkie

Listen to this for a whole new perspective on Hitller and how he ties into the “War on Drugs.” This was a great read if you like history and cause and effect.
