You’re old enough to remember when France actually won a war. Sears & Roebuck published the most entertaining material you could find in your neighbor’s outhouse. Fireflies were the best nightlights a kid could have. Milk was delivered in bottles or fresh from the cow. The Three “R”s of education were reading, Writing and ‘rithmetic…

“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…

Well, back in 2017, some lawyer in California (why is it always lawyers and California?) tried to register the phrase “Trump Too Small” with the Patent and Trademark Office. The government agency denied the request—probably…

Donald Trump is leading the Republican field by 60 points and no votes have even been cast for the 2024 Republican Primaries. When even Mike Pence is folding his tent then it’s over. In 2016, Pence was the guy that gave Trump gravitas. Today Pence is an “also ran” that, like the rest of the…

What the Hamas terror group did is horrific. I use the present tense because they are still holding/torturing hostages, American citizens included. No matter your political or religious beliefs cutting people’s heads off, killing babies, and torturing people is wrong. As a sidebar, I do not agree with Israel cutting off the water and power…

Yep. Many government leaders make claims that you can pick your own gender, but have you ever tried filling out government forms for these guys? Fact is they still wanna know your gender and only give you two choices male and female. (OK, your pets get to choose spayed or neutered when you sign them…
