Last year, the Braums restaurant and market in nearby Tahlequah, Okla. went up in flames. It has since been renovated and reopened. I noticed about a month or so before the fire happened in late April of 2022 there were advertising for employment. They listed that people who were still in high school or underContinue reading “Curbing Child Labor Laws To Get Around Paying Employees Better Wages”

Conservatives’ Anti-LBTQIA/Drag Queen Stance Will Backfire
There’s a reason Tom the Cat never caught Jerry the Mouse. Tom needed Jerry. Taking away that it was a kid’s cartoon series, if Tom killed Jerry, then the homeowners had no other reason to keep Tom in the house. And Jerry knew that another cat wouldn’t be so humane. Even though they were seenContinue reading “Conservatives’ Anti-LBTQIA/Drag Queen Stance Will Backfire”
Murdaugh Cases Exposes Our Desire To Allow Rich People Do Whatever They Want
I was a Johnny-Come-Lately to the Alex Murdaugh trial. I followed bits and pieces of it but have followed up in the last week. It was surprising I had gone to school at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Ga., less than 100 miles away from Hampton, S.C. that I never heard of the Murdaugh family.Continue reading “Murdaugh Cases Exposes Our Desire To Allow Rich People Do Whatever They Want”
To Err Is Human; To Forgive Is Divine, But Is There A Double Standard?
At the recent Screen Actors Guild Awards Show, Mark Wahlberg was the presenter for the Cast in a Motion Picture. The winner was the cast of Everything Everywhere All At Once, a movie consisting of mostly southeast Asian ancestry. While the movie has been raking in the awards everywhere, some people wonder if the showsContinue reading “To Err Is Human; To Forgive Is Divine, But Is There A Double Standard?”
Calls For “National Divorce” Dangerous In More Ways Than We Realize
For the most part, people I know who still live in northwest Georgia say they don’t care much of what Marjoie Taylor Greene says. This is foolish to do so. They should care. They should care a lot especially since I know they still voted for her regardless. Right now, the rest of the country,Continue reading “Calls For “National Divorce” Dangerous In More Ways Than We Realize”
Hey, Conservatives, Chelsea Handler’s ‘Daily Show’ Skit Was A Parody
The fact that Greg Gutfeld is what passes nowadays for conservative comedy, it should come as no surprise that many didn’t get the joke from a recent Daily Show skit by guest-host Chelsea Handler. I mean, Gutfeld looks like the type of guy who knows what decibel level to tell in a crowded room toContinue reading “Hey, Conservatives, Chelsea Handler’s ‘Daily Show’ Skit Was A Parody”
Tubi Isn’t The Problem, It Just Raised The Red Flags Of Domestic Violence
The Super Bowl has become more popular for its commercials. Some are memorable such as Budweiser’s “What’s Up?!” commercial. Others fails miserably. Remember Mountain Dew’s awful PuppetMonkeyBaby? The ads space costs more for 60 seconds than the budget for many movies. So, if you have $10-20 million and want to get the word out allContinue reading “Tubi Isn’t The Problem, It Just Raised The Red Flags Of Domestic Violence”
He Gets Us, He Gets Us Not
The Super Bowl commercial He Gets Us sends a message that even Christians, especially the ones who were behind it, apparently don’t seem to get. One of the financial backers is the family that owns Hobby Lobby which just less than two years ago, ran a fuill-page ad calling for a Christian-run government. One commercialContinue reading “He Gets Us, He Gets Us Not”
We Need To Talk About Leo (And More Important What It Says About Our Society)
It was 25 years ago, I sat in a movie theater in Statesboro, Ga., during the winter of 1998 watching Titanic. Young girls swooned and gasped as Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack Dawson was on screen, especially when he puts on the tuxedo. And during the death scene as he is freezing to death in the icyContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Leo (And More Important What It Says About Our Society)”
Why We Never Talk About Grief And Mourning In Our Society
I have a cousin that died as an infant. She is rarely ever discussed. She had health problems and some mental problems. If she had lived, she would have turned 40 this year. I had an aunt who committed suicide before I was born. She was hardly ever discussed and if so, it was somethingContinue reading “Why We Never Talk About Grief And Mourning In Our Society”
