Today in history, 1942: Actress Hedy Lamarr and composer George Antheil receive a patent for frequency-hopping technology to protect radio-controlled weapons from jamming and interference. The technique later formed the basis for technologies such as Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. /1

Any company that can replace a tariffed product with an American made is going to flourish. Can’t get tomatoes or avocados, twinkies and Ho-Hos are made in US bakeries and are the perfect replacement !!! Pay no attention to the price increase. They never go bad !

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?
