I grew-up with Superman as a part of my youth. I remember George Reeves stopping bad guys with guns and Christopher Reeves stopping Gene Hackman with nukes. Both versions of the iconic comic book hero were likeable and campy. This summer we were treated to a new version of Superman. In this film, director Zack…

The Beekeeper meets AI
I had a talk with my father-in-law yesterday and this topic came up. The following happened to him. You get a call from your bank informing you that you are the victim of a fraudulent charge. The person on the phone has a caller ID stating that it’s your bank calling. They have your account…

There is a lot of talk lately about Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania switching parties to the GOP. This is because he has shown strong support for Israel. Make no mistake about it, Fetterman votes with democrats 90% of the time. Yet there is serious talk of a primary challenge in 2 years. My advice? …

As stated before in this space, Megan Eisenberger and Brad Ng laid a turd in the punch bowl in regard to prosecuting the K Street shooting here in Sacramento. This blog is taking a look at a different part of the trial, the witnesses. Ng and Eisenberger handed out immunity from prosecution like it was…

The church that I am attending began a book of the month club this summer. This month’s installment is What is the Gospel? By Greg Gilbert. The book is only 8 chapters. Much of it is very good and I have no complaints but chapters 6 & 7—which are built on each other—are simply cringe…

The pit bull must either attack a human or kill two more animals—along with people filing police reports—or nothing will happen. I was advised to work things out…

In his book, The Prince, Niccolò Machiavelli famously said that justice cannot be had without money. The same can be said about Attorney Mario and the legal system that he navigates. Pesos (expended by me) yields progress. The annulment process for my girlfriend has finally taken a leap forward as measured by every metric that…

Title is self-explanatory. Seventy-some-odd people ran for governor, about eight were actually qualified. When I say qualified, I don’t mean that they are a resident, meet age requirements etc. Here is what I mean. Bottom line: run for an office you think you can win. As mentioned earlier, a gubernatorial campaign will cost you 40-50…

Yep. It was Wednesday, August 5th. I got home about 7 PM, grabbed the mailbox key, hooked the leash to my friend, and proceeded to walk to the mailbox. I’ve done this evolution virtually every day for three and a half years. Last night there was nothing in the mailbox, so we headed home. We…

Yep. The highlight of my day was going to the church’s men’s Bible study last night. One guy that regularly attends is a former member of the LDS Church. He made a comment concerning Jesus binding the strong man and stealing his goods. (We’ll get to the text in a moment.) The Bible study leader…
