Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands. Instead, I depend entirely on my readers to support me. Though this means I am sacrificing some income, it also means that I remain entirely independent from outside pressure. By depending solely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, no one can threaten me with censorship. You don't like what I write, you can simply go elsewhere.

 

You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are five ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation:

4. A Paypal subscription:


5. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage or shown in the menu above. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.


Millions of Obamacare applications can’t be processed

Federal officials have admitted that, of the 2.9 million Obamacare applications that have problems and thus cannot be processed, 85% cannot be resolved.

You ask a government bureaucracy to run things, you get these kinds of problems. Everyone knows this, even liberals, which is why I am endlessly puzzled that they still demand the government to do things for us.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

  • If you worked with a company that promised so much and delivered so little wouldn’t you fire them?

    The problem with Government provided services is that there is no – zero – incentive to do a good job. They know if they fill their desk, and do some basic work, that there is nothing – NOTHING – we can do to throw them out.

    Its not the means that they are interested in its the ends. They can not help themselves, they want to “help” us all. If they had to have you executed in order to “help” you they would be able to come up with the justification for doing so.

    I listen to the president say “we have to do something instead of doing nothing”. Doing “nothing” like the president insists is being done by the Congress is also something, its just not what the president wants to be done. That’s how our system works, the president does not get to do what ever he wants without having to get the cooperation of the other counter balancing components of the government. To listen to him you would have to conclude that he must have slept through all of his American Constitution classes. ( we know he did not sleep through his classes so his actions and complaints are all the more offensive and dangerous.)

    So actually nothing is something, and we can be thankful for that.

    You’re really not puzzled because you know it is never about fixing problems. It’s going to come down to the red button. A new declaration of independence is just not in the cards.

    Liberals don’t want to do things FOR us, they want to do things TO us! Liberals want to PUNISH people for believing in God, for example, or make you pay for choosing to educate your (YOUR!) children outside of the state-sponsored centers-for-indoctrination. It’s all about power, and controlling the levers of power which allow liberal socialist-democrats to give action to their hatred of conservatives.
