I have often heard that being President of the United States is one of the toughest jobs in the world. We’ve all seen the before and after photos of young candidates who leave office looking twice their age. After last night, I found an even harder job. Try being an apologist for John McCain in…

“La La La I Can’t Hear You”
Yep. It’s about unanimous that my immediate family (and a few others) are unsupportive of me. Somehow, I’m expected to be miserable for the rest of my life and must continue to pine over my deceased wife until I too wind up in the grave. I’ve gone from irritated to just plain done with the…

By now, you readers know I am a Libertarian who basically believes in a person’s right to do anything they want when they are an adult. I believe in personal freedom. So why do I hate gambling? Shouldn’t someone be able to gamble if they so choose? The answer is a “yes” and “no;” sure,…

This post is about willful ignorance and my frustration with it. Folks, over the last year, I have been crystal clear about the intricacies of navigating the legal and ethical dilemmas that I have encountered in my relationship with my special friend.

The Blog Father has written about online dating lately, so I wanted to share my experiences. Most online dating sites, I won’t say all are a cesspool. I tried it for about 2 months based on a friend telling me, “Everyone is on it.” She was right… Do I say really right? It was a…

Folks, as mentioned before, I have been participating in some online dating websites. Yep, I have found fraudulent accounts and sketchy people, but I have found some nice ones as well. I’ve been especially impressed by two young women that live in the Philippines. One is a teacher and the other is, well I don’t…

Good Grief!! No wonder things in our culture are so upside-down. I was warned this was futility, but I insisted on trying anyway. I have joined two online Christian dating websites. One is dominated by Reformed Baptists and the other with Seventh Day Adventists. This rant is directed at the Reformed Baptists. I first met…

I’ve been slow to post anything lately as I’m still working through the death of my wife. Thanks to “The Chief” for making the bulk of new content here lately. I’m sorting my wife’s treasures and purging a lot of them. She valued things in terms of sentimentality and not cash value. Sadly, granddad’s ratty…

Editor’s Note: I was sent this blog post just before it was announced that Trump authorized bombing Iranian nuclear sites. In wake of the Ukraine/Russia war and Isreal/Iran war, a lot has been made of “far left and far right” isolationism. Most of the media talking heads are shoveling a lot of bull shoot about…

It was going so well. The deportations, DOGE, law and order returning, no involvement in foreign wars, inflation cooling down, and the Democrat Party reeling like a swimmer drowning in a lake (or a passenger in the car with Teddy Kennedy). Then Trump nuked it all. To be very honest I am not sure why. …
