Great Shift

Posted on 02/04/2021 by leftwingsurvivalist

It’s hard to imagine that just a year ago, COVID was only just coming onto our radar. I’ll admit that I started off less than completely concerned about it. As things started to unfold, though, the true scope of the … Continue reading →

The Common Cold

Posted on 01/30/2020 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, in this case, maybe a not-so-common one. It’s really hard to tell, without running some very specific tests (and probably a DNA analysis). What, that thing I went through a couple of weeks ago?  No. I’m not certain what … Continue reading →

What to do when you’ve got the flu

Posted on 01/16/2020 by leftwingsurvivalist

Get plenty of rest, and drink lots of fluids. Take whatever meds you tend to take for such things… And ask the indulgence of your readers, that you take another week off. The Plague(tm) has hit the LeftWing household this … Continue reading →

A Quick WTH?

Posted on 11/21/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

This week (and, in fact, probably the rest of the year) is going to be a short one. I hope to expand it into a quasi-regular offering, which I’ll tentatively call “Conspiracy Corner.” An acquaintance of my wife’s recently expressed … Continue reading →

Watching the World Burn

Posted on 08/29/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, well, the Amazon, anyway. And if Dear Leader has his way, likely the wilds of Alaska soon, too. And now, as I type this, he’s apparently considering “changing the rules,” such that the children of U.S. Servicemembers born overseas … Continue reading →

Fixing It

Posted on 08/01/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, rather, fixing me. I’m going to keep this short, unfortunately, as I’m experiencing a very slight, very local “sort-of” emergency. To wit, I got an injury–stabbed by a rose thorn–on my hand, and it’s infected, and swollen like a … Continue reading →

Or Better Yet, Try to Fix It

Posted on 07/18/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

We’re back! I hope everyone had a pleasant Independence Day, despite the shenanigans going on in the Capitol. Speaking of such, how about the mess Dear Leader has gotten himself into over this last week? Despite anything his apologists might … Continue reading →

Words Have Meaning

Posted on 06/20/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Short-ish rant, this week. I’m struck by the apparent notion that a variety of things that would benefit the populace at large, or at least large chunks of it, are all “socialism.” At least, so sayeth our esteemed Senate Majority … Continue reading →

Business As Usual

Posted on 05/23/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, perhaps, “busy-ness” is better.  We performed an “emergency” kitchen remodel last week, in addition to having to catch multiple bee swarms, keep the dogs from stressing out (disruption from the remodel), and the usual housekeeping, and getting ready for … Continue reading →

Miscellany

Posted on 04/25/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Once again, I’ve been too busy to plan out a nice, meaty, solid post for you all…  So here’s a handful of smaller ones, smashed together. The Report The Special Counsel’s report has been out for a bit now. That’s … Continue reading →
