COMMENTARY: Bank of Springfield Center and SMEAA — a massive drain on taxpayers

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- The Illinois Policy Institute published a story Tuesday regarding the Springfield Metropolitan Exposition and Auditorium Authority (SMEAA) and the damning debt that Springfield taxpayers are on the hook for against their own will. Please note that I may be linking to some of IPI's articles in this commentary. Springfield-area residents often see as many as ten different governmental taxing bodies on their property tax bills each year, most of which include SMEAA. While being furthest from being […]

Commentary: Supreme Court decision a slap to the face of small businesses

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- A U.S. Supreme Court decision made today marks yet another slap to the face of the free market and another example of the government intervening on behalf of Big Business. The recent decision now forces e-commerce retailers to pay (and essentially, charge) sales taxes, just like the ancient brick-and-mortar retailers do. Misinformed politicians like Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill) claims this is a victory for downstate communities who have "claimed" economic decimation due to online shopping. It is […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Chewing gum

This column was originally scheduled for publication on June 9, 2018 and missed publication. Did you ever say to yourself, “Self, I wonder who invented chewing gum?” Well, I’d like to tell you a little story about that. Chewing gum, as you know, is one of the most popular sweet products in the United States. The person giving credit for introducing gum to America is the Mexican general Santa Ana. He moved to Staten Island, New York in the 1840s. […]

The Healthy Geezer: memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease

I’m 78 and I'm forgetting things more often now. Should I be worried? For starters, worrying is a waste of time. If you think your forgetfulness is the sign of the onset of Alzheimer's, get to a doctor for a check-up. The scary truth is that Alzheimer’s begins with difficulty remembering the familiar—people, things, events. Or, you start having trouble doing simple arithmetic in your head. These annoyances are common to seniors with healthy brains, so most of us don’t […]

COMMENTARY: Major ad networks are wrongfully blocking crypto advertisers

Major ad networks have been taking drastic measures in recent months regarding advertising and promotion of cryptocurrencies and other related crypto programs. However, nothing is worse than Alphabet, aka Google, dictating that their AdSense and AdWords platforms will be banning all advertising related to cryptocurrency this month. What does this mean? Owners of crypto-related sites will no longer be able to monetize their content utilizing the AdSense platform or any ad network who partners with AdSense. We know how these […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Graduation

I’ll never forget the day I graduated high school. I recall an early June evening, so hot even the tassel on my cap sweated. I’m sure the guest speaker said something important. I think it was something about “facing the future.” But when you think about it…what else was there to face? Since that long-ago night, I’ve been to more commencements than a cap-and-gown salesman. I even know all the words to “Pomp and Circumstance,” which is pretty tough since […]

The Healthy Geezer: The difference between unwanted growths and skin cancer

My skin has all kinds of small thingies on it like my father used to have. My doctor checks them out and says they are all harmless. But, what exactly are they? As we age, most of us start sprouting an array of unwanted growths. Let's go over the common ones: LIVER SPOTS: The official name for liver or age spots is “lentigines” from the Latin for “lentil.”  These are flat, brown with rounded edges and are larger than freckles.
