Much as I love trains, Amtrak sucks.

Much as I love trains, Amtrak sucks. I found out that in Europe and Asia, people commonly refer to all Amtrak engines as SLOBS (Slow Locomotive Offshoot Blowouts). You can’t blame it on big oil, climate change or safety for why we don’t invest in rail transport the way we should. But there are over two dozen other countries with electric and diesel service t exceeding 200 mph and altogether over 40 other countries with that same service over 170 mph. Amtrak at best goes 140 mph regardless of what they advertise or claim, yet on average they go much slower and use excuses to announce delays so that people don’t ask for refunds. A bullet train in Japan could go between NYC and Dallas in 5 hours. If you take the US out of all these stupid wars we have no business in, stop wasting money on stupid projects, use eminent domain the way… Read More »Much as I love trains, Amtrak sucks.

The overblown lockdown, aka ‘’COVID-19 Pandemic’’

Educational The overblown “COVID” lockdown (referred to as “the COVID-19 Pandemic”), has me I miss doing many thing, such as playing music in venues and clubs. I miss getting together with friends. I miss shopping in NYC. I miss traveling on the train up and down the Eastern Seaboard to visit friends and relatives. I miss how well I was able to maintain my health. Though I was never really phased by the publicity of the lockdown, I was surrounded by people who were. Throughout 2020, I would see people wearing masks and not understand why, since this was all in observance of an airborne virus that was manufactured in a laboratory on the other side of the world.In 2021, I was under pressure from people around me to take a experimental vaccine without a doctor’s prescription. I, like many was told I would be denied any medical care if I didn’t. After seeking 3… Read More »The overblown lockdown, aka ‘’COVID-19 Pandemic’’

This is how lavish resorts like the Concord Hotel went out of business

The Concord Hotel was a lavish hotel that had existed for over 60 years until it closed down in the 1990’s, an example of how resorts out of business at that time occurred. This was publicly due to mismanagement and bankruptcy. But like with most mismanagement, the detailed story was even more embarrassing. The Concord Hotel had key tags on all its 1500 room keys. On one side of each tag was the specific room number. But on the other side was the worst blunder a hotel could ever make. putting the address of the hotel on the key tags to “guarantee postage”. This “guarantee” was only under the premise that people would even take the time to throw the keys in a mailbox, which was as rare as it was expected. Back then, most guests didn’t return their keys. Instead, they’d either lose them, give them away to other people, or just throw them… Read More »This is how lavish resorts like the Concord Hotel went out of business

11 years since my younger brother had died in motorcycle crash

It was 11 years ago on this day (October 2nd) that my younger brother Jeff had died in a motorcycle crash in Boston, Massachusetts when he was only 35. What’s worse to go along with the loss of his life, was that his legacy was tarnished by people who had lied about him before and after my younger brother died. It was extra painful for me since Jeff and I had become very close in his final 10 years. Jeff was one of 2 children that my 2nd cousin (my father’s cousin’s adapted daughter) had during her marriage to my father (his 2nd wife). She had a bitter divorce with my father 20 years prior to my brother’s death. She never recovered from her divorce, and has since applied all her anger on me for her own “healing” reasons. This included botching all of Jeff final affairs.To emphasize on my younger brother’s death, the motorcycle… Read More »11 years since my younger brother had died in motorcycle crash

Creating a Life out of Lies

Life out of Lies is creating long-term lies is a practice popular among people wanting “more perfection for themselves” the “easy way”. Many unsatisfied people choose to do character assassinations on others they don’t like and then separate themselves from those people so that they never face the truth, even in avoidable situations. Recipients of these character assassinations get chosen on their lack of popularity, 2nd -hand information or not living up to desired standards of those lying. Long term liars aim to create unresolved matters hoping that it will all stick. More of how I know this all at It becomes easier to understand how bad propaganda works when you look at certain situations at home. Coming from a dysfunctional family, my mother’s relatives were good people. But my father’s relatives were marbled with good, bad and ugly. My older brother married a woman in 1984 who chose not to like me, which is… Read More »Creating a Life out of Lies

We wonder how anyone so strong about their positions would rapidly take a “reversal” without explanation

We wonder how anyone so strong about their positions would rapidly take a “reversal” without explanation. I don’t accuse people, since I like to find out first why before labeling them a traitor.It’s vital to realize this with leadership. An Oregon Congresswoman is the latest of many good people to turn bad. It’s because of money. Like everyone else, she was offered money to speak at the DNC. A strong person is strong and resists taking bribes. But a weak person caves to take money. The best tool in making people cave in to an adverse cause is money. When mindset, behavior and social tricks don’t work, there is money (cash and money orders as to avoid leaving paper trails) – if they’re weak enough to take money.I have been offered bribes several times in my life to change my mind on something I was strong about, but I have never accepted any of them.On… Read More »We wonder how anyone so strong about their positions would rapidly take a “reversal” without explanation

I’d never recommend Amtrak’s Auto Train to anyone 

Amtrak isn’t organized overall, and I say this as much as I love the train. I have enough experience to know that they’re nothing like trains in other countries. In particular, I’d never recommend Auto train to anyone. I love the experience of the train, but the worst experience I ever had taking a train was taking Auto train with my younger brother Jeff back in 2008. We booked the trip a week in advance thinking that it might be nice, like the videos online. Boy, we were wrong. They schedule this 855-mile trip to take 17 hours from Lorton, VA to Sanford FL, yet it was 25 hours (not including all our other waiting time). The traffic lines were long to the terminal; with a crowded waiting room we shared with many other overbooked passengers. The cabin was small, and the food was bad, in small portions and costly (being the most expensive frozen… Read More »I’d never recommend Amtrak’s Auto Train to anyone 

The Climate change hoax business

The Climate change hoax business is a longtime thriving industry. Over 5 million people globally captivate and illuminate many by making climate control hoaxes and as these climate change hoaxes time and time again get proven unfounded or go obsolete, the following grows and grows. It’s another thing to show how people today have a hard time separating reality from fantasy.Typically, I deal with them wherever I go. As I observe it, it affects their thinking, behavior, disposition and most of all, their whole outlook on life altogether.All because people in the media who pull these hoaxes thrive drama and publicity, and like other ways, they do so, rather than do their job of presenting actual news.It’s interesting that in my area, climate control activists don’t wear masks or take COVID vaccines, unlike other places in the country. It makes me grateful that I am a clear-minded man. I like to create relationships with others… Read More »The Climate change hoax business

Don’t let your town become a dump by naïve residents contributing to crime

I made an update on an article by a local woman concerning what turned out to be scam artists in the local train Station near me, an example of how naïve residents support crime unknowingly. I quote this woman saying the following: “Hello there is a family of Chinese people living at the train station for over a month now they had tried to rent an apartment, and they were scammed don’t know who knows who can help!” Along with this photo, the article initially got over 20 reactions plus many sympathetic comment replies. It turns out that this “family” is just a couple with someone else’s kids, who fortunately are now back with their rightful parents.  The couple themselves are Korean, not Chinese, and they live in a neighboring municipality. The only scam was that of the couple telling a story, and they speak good English, as contrary to what was told. I ran… Read More »Don’t let your town become a dump by naïve residents contributing to crime

In 2022, I sent a letter to Facebook

In 2022, I sent a letter to Facebook. More specifically, I sent it to their ‘’help center’’ and emailed it to their board in response to their censorship. I now sent the same letter to MeWe, after MeWe deleted my 1st account there, prompting me to reopen the same account with new info.As with Facebook, I clarified to MeWe that I always check my work and sources and stand behind all I say, only editing for grammar and spelling, never politically correct. I resent censorship, “fact-checkers” and other frivolous discipline. I gave MeWe the sane warning I gave Facebook; Them terminating, my access to my account with them will be for the last time, if they dare. There are other good platforms, and my own website here. I plan to address Frank-Social the same way.I’ve figured out all the tricks and games that censorship platforms like Facebook, MeWe and Frank-Social play, so there is no… Read More »In 2022, I sent a letter to Facebook
