I read about the security breach that Trump made yesterday, when the story broke on The Washington Post and subsequently I read the other stories on CNN and the like. I also read where Trump majorly expanded the Mexico City rule creating the “Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance Initiative” yesterday. There was also …

What Everyone Regardless of Party Must Do
So much of politics is governed by talking points, reciting facts the media give (okay relates mostly to the right, but the left is equally guilty), and of course voting the party ticket as given to each voter, because people are lazy, ignorant, not involved in politics/civics, and an idiot. People feel that their vote …

My Take on the Implosion of Trumpcare and What We Should Do From Here
Most progressives would like to see the Affordable Care Act (ACA) replaced with universal health care, either by expanding Medicare to all or by simply creating universal health coverage, which I presume would mean getting rid of Medicaid and Medicare in favor of Universal Healthcare. Allen Clifton expresses this sentiment quite well. I want to …

Elections Have Consequences and an Election Do-Over
More and more I see that Trump is an exaggeration of Republicans as a whole. Getting rid of Trump would not make anyone better off, as then we would have Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, or any other nut job on the right. They are all dangerous. Yes, Trump arguably is more dangerous, as …

Analyzing Trumpcare and what the CBO had to say
I already talked of health care in a previous post, but wanted to continue the topic. When I talked about the individual mandate on my last healthcare post, I forgot to mention that the penalty for not having healthcare goes to the government and pegged to healthcare. The insurance companies get none of that penalty. …

Healthcare: Part 1
I have dreaded this week ever since the November 8, 2016, when Democrats lost all branches of federal government, and Congress takes up the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which the population has waited a long time to get. When I say all branches of federal government, I am including the …
Choosing a Development Language
Introduction A new member recently asked me which development environment he should choose. He said that he was just starting off and wanted a platform that would maximize his chances of succeeding, while giving him the maximum flexibility. I thought about the question a bit and realized that this question applies to seasoned developers …
Search Engine Optimization, Part II
This past month I was examining the logs of sites that link to ButterflyVista=s site. A few months ago, I took advantage of a service that Promaxum.com offers to upload JobFish to what they consider the top 500 download sites. In reality that number was more like 200, as the other sites didn=t apply to …
Software, It Takes a Village
You are a small software related company trying to make a go if it. You feel that you might be in over your head. You don’t know how to start or if your business is all that it should be. For 18-years now the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) has provided independent software developers, marketing …
Shareware And Search Engine Optimization
Many of you, like me, are software developers. No matter how many marketing services offer to take over the marketing from you and once you finish coding, in the end you are the one that must push your software forward and do the marketing. No doubt you have read many articles on how to market …
Trump’s proposal to radically increase spending on the military
Allen brings up an interesting points and figures regarding military spending. Thank you for showing that we spend $400 billion more than Russia and China. This Huffington Post article talks about our record national defense spending, something in contradiction to what Trump suggest, and this spending is in Obama’s second term. What Republicans say does …

The flame is lit with the Jeff Sessions perjury
Before talking about Jeff Sessions and his perjury, I want to throw a thought out to the masses: Republicans are very 1-dimensional in one sense and that is their Achilles Heal. Republicans vote as one, think as one, behave as one. As such, all can go down as one if the Democrats do things properly. …
