For the most part, I don’t remember seeing the Challenger explosion on TV at school, even though several of my friends say we saw it. Maybe they did and I was sick that day. I was almost certain it was a snow day so the school had canceled classes that day. I was in the first grade and only 7 so I probably don’t remember too well. On thisContinue reading “Never Forget The Challenger Crew”

Remembering The Legacy Of Dr. King Seems More Important Each Year
I remember back in high school, my government teacher, Georgia Hardwick, said that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. knew he was living on borrowed time the minute he started pushing back. Or shall I say that he didn’t push back. The authorities were wanting a reason to use force but by non-violent resistant, they willContinue reading “Remembering The Legacy Of Dr. King Seems More Important Each Year”
A Day Of Reckoning Is Coming
I’ll begin this post with a history lesson. Edward Joseph O’Hare was known as “Easy Eddie.” He was also a lawyer who worked for mobster Al Capone through his rise in the 1920s. However, by the early 1930s, O’Hare had a change of heart. His only son, Edward Henry “Butch” O’Hare was growing up and about to enterContinue reading “A Day Of Reckoning Is Coming”
Recent Homophobia Over ‘Stranger Things’ Shows How Little We’ve Come
People are very stupid. As Stranger Things sets to air its series finale episode in less than 24 hours, the seventh episode of the fifth season has been review-bombed. And it’s all because of a scene where Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) finally comes out to his mother and his friends that he’s gay. Of course, it’s a difficult thing for him to say as his friends seem toContinue reading “Recent Homophobia Over ‘Stranger Things’ Shows How Little We’ve Come”
A Day That Will Live In Infamy
On this day, let’s remember the 2,403 Americans who lost their lives during the Pearl Harbor attacks by the Japanese military forces on Dec. 6, 1941. Incidentally, both today and that “Day that will live in infamy” are both on Sundays. Believe it or not, the first wave of the attack was the sinking of a Japanese midget boatContinue reading “A Day That Will Live In Infamy”
How The Walls Come Crumblin’ Down
One of the moments in recent world history that is incorrectly believed happened on this date, Nov. 9, in 1989 when the Berlin Wall finally started to come down. The wall had been constructed in the early 1960s as a way to seperate East Germany, which was a bloc of the Soviet Union, from WestContinue reading “How The Walls Come Crumblin’ Down”
Not The Obit I Was Hoping For, But A Win Is Still A Win
I’m not going to have any sympathy for someone like Dick Cheney. He lived a long life at 84 while cutting many other lives short for his own capital gain. Yes, yes, yes. He turned around over a year ago and said he would support Kamala Harris in the 2024 Presidential election. Just because FrankensteinContinue reading “Not The Obit I Was Hoping For, But A Win Is Still A Win”
John Denver Crashes While Charlie Rich Burns…His Award Slip
It’s strange how specific dates seem to always pop up during a certain person’s life. Last month, I posted how Mike Gundy was fired from his position as head coach of Oklahoma State University’s football program 18 years and one day to his explosive rant against the Daily Oklahoman after a win against Texas Tech.Continue reading “John Denver Crashes While Charlie Rich Burns…His Award Slip”
Happy Indigenous Peoples Day
I want to wish everyone a Happy Indigenous Peoples Day. Yes, yes, I know that the current Presidential administration wants us to celebrate Columbus Day, but the irony of it all is lost on so many people. It wasn’t until 1934 where the Knights of Columbus and Italian civic leaders wanted a holiday as peopleContinue reading “Happy Indigenous Peoples Day”
Congratulations To Maria Corina Machado, Nobel Peace Prize Winner
I want to extend my congratulations to Maria Corina Machado for being named the recipient of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. I know a lot of people (who don’t understand the concept of peace) think it should’ve went to another person. But this person has never been a model for peace. When five young blackContinue reading “Congratulations To Maria Corina Machado, Nobel Peace Prize Winner”
