Paul W. Smith: Global deals,\ncorporate turmoil and domestic shifts

2 weeks ago | detroitnews.com | Paul W. Smith

“ Outta’ My Mind on a Monday Moanin ’”As I write this, it appears President Donald Trump's trip to the Middle East was a wildly successful journey for everyone involved. A win-win-win event. Incredible opulence, horses, camels, sword dancers and over the top “friendship gifts," such as the rare Arabian white Leopard, and, oh yeah, a $400 million 747 jet to “use” until a long-delayed Boeing replacement for the 40-year-old Air Force One is delivered. Apparently not a close delivery.

Paul W. Smith“Outta’ My Mind on a Monday Moanin’”The President of the United States chose to celebrate his 100th Day in office in the great state of Michigan. That’s a big deal. If you don’t think so, that’s very unfortunate. But I’m not surprised. However, I was surprised at what I saw the day after President Donald Trump delivered to our state the present of guaranteed extended life for Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Harrison Township by gifting 21 new F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets.
Saw Filing: Preparing The Plate

March 27, 2025 By Paul Smith In the early seventies, when my career started, the saw plate itself was not much to address. Other than getting it flat, that was about all we were shooting for. We did put emphasis on the tooth itself. The kerf was wide enough to take care of any big imperfections in the plate. RPMs were slow enough and plates were thick enough, not to worry too much about tension.

Paul W. Smith“ Outta’ My Mind on a Monday Moanin’”While I watched with great interest as NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore finally made it back home, I was thrilled everything went the way it was supposed to and everyone was safe. The “fast boats” were, well, fast, and the dolphins were excited to welcome the newcomers. Which got me thinking. *****My next guest needs no introduction, but I want to be sure you know how accomplished they are.
Paul W. Smith: Laugh a little today

Feb 23, 2025 | detroitnews.com | Paul W. Smith

“ Outta’ My Mind on a Monday Moanin’”It's the final week of February and it feels like we’ve already had a year’s worth of action and activity, good and bad. An unprecedented number of aviation accidents, executive orders, moves toward peace — or not. Not to mention, our own daily struggles to advance toward our goals or just hang on. Sometimes, it can all seem a bit overwhelming. Here's a suggestion you are not expecting, and, if for some reason it angers you, you need it more than ever.
Saw Filing: Attention To Basics

Feb 18, 2025 | woodbusiness.ca | Paul W. Smith

In today’s world of high-tech, modern, automated equipment we must not forget the basics of saw filing. Even with a saw filing room full of today’s high-tech equipment, that operates hands-off and even lights-off, it will not produce a high-performing saw without the knowledge of basic saw filing being incorporated. The knowledge that a seasoned, professional saw filer can provide is still invaluable.
Paul W. Smith: Dems are taking the 20% side of most issues in America

Feb 9, 2025 | detroitnews.com | Paul W. Smith

"Outta’ my mind on a Monday moanin'"I always say there are two Americas, those who watch and believe everything they see and hear on Fox News and those who watch and believe everything they see and hear on CNN. Because I’m a talk show host, I tell myself I have to watch both channels to see what’s being talked about, or more realistically, what’s being complained about. The truth is, I watch much more Fox, because I’m much more aligned with their beliefs than I am of CNN’s.
Paul W. Smith: Face America’s challenges head on

Feb 2, 2025 | detroitnews.com | Paul W. Smith

Paul W. Smith“ Outta’ My Mind on a Monday Moanin’ ”Now more than ever, America’s overall health is front and center. I do believe we may really be in a position to improve our physical health with a spotlight on our food, unnecessary chemicals and additives and the seemingly over drugged and over medicated average American. It’s going to be very interesting to see the reaction of the powerful people behind some of these problems.
Paul W. Smith: Knowing history matters

Jan 26, 2025 | detroitnews.com | Paul W. Smith

“ Outta’ My Mind on a Monday Moanin’”I enjoy watching “Jesse Watters Prime Time” on Fox News. He often times makes me laugh. The other day I was watching when he sent his “reporter” out in the field to ask truly incredibly inane questions that you wouldn't believe the person being questioned couldn’t possibly figure out they were being led into ridiculous questions and answers. For example, “Did you hear that Martin Luther King, Jr. overslept and that’s why he was late for the Inauguration.
