I’d thought I’d never admit this but we’d be better off with Kristi Noem as the Secretary of the Homeland Security. But she’s on her way out and her possibly replacement isn’t any better by a longshot. Since he became a U.S. Senator after three terms in the House of Representative, Markwayne Mullin has been walking around Capitol Hill like O’Bannion from Dazed and Confused. He thinks he’s a badass and constantly trying to start fightsContinue reading “From Out Of The Frying Pan And Into The Dumpster Fire”

Are Trump’s Days Really, Finally Unequivocally Close To An End?
Recently, the President spoke at a factory mill in Rome, Ga. The news is trying to say that “thousands” of people turned out. If they are included people protesting, maybe so. But pictures don’t lie. There were only 300 max there and that’s being very liberal. It probably 250 give or take. Some people are arguing that since it was held at around 4 p.m. EST on aContinue reading “Are Trump’s Days Really, Finally Unequivocally Close To An End?”
Welcome To 5150 Get-Off-My-Lawn!
This is some property east of where I live about five miles give or take. I’ve past by this property numerous times over the years and and it was just another country home. Yet the last few months, all this has sprung up. There’s razor barb wire along the fence where there’s black walls and warning signs. Even worse, if you look closer at the houseContinue reading “Welcome To 5150 Get-Off-My-Lawn!”
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Super Bowl
No matter what happened on Sunday at the Super Bowl, those on the right were going to act like it was a win for them. There’s a line from the movie The American President where a character says, “How do you have patience for people who claim they love America, but clearly can’t stand Americans?” And I think it’s getting worse now. The SuperContinue reading “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Super Bowl”
Things Have To Get Better, Because We May Not Survive If They Get Worse
For the most part, I’ve always believed it’s going to get worse before it gets better. But the question you always want to know is – how much worse can it get? In any normal society, the massacre at Columbine High School back in 1999 would’ve been the breaking point. But no matter how many predominantly white schools suffer massacres, it seems the powers that be react by doing everythingContinue reading “Things Have To Get Better, Because We May Not Survive If They Get Worse”
“Fled Cruz” Is At It Again
If you ever see Ted Cruz at an airport ahead of a winter storm that is forecast, just be warned the shit is going to hit the fan. Recently, the Republican Senator from Texas, former Presidential candidate and possible Zodiac Killer was spotted on a plane heading toward California. This comes as a winter stormContinue reading ““Fled Cruz” Is At It Again”
One Year Down, But Will It Just Be Three More Or A Lot Longer?
I’ve never met him in real life but Derek Russo is a friend of a friend. At 50, he is a hulking actor and stuntman who’s appeared in Cobra Kai, Bad Boys: Ride or Die and The Mule. He had a big role in the Creepshow Christmas episode as well. But every now and again, we’ll get on a discussion feed on one of my friend’s social media posts. One thing aboutContinue reading “One Year Down, But Will It Just Be Three More Or A Lot Longer?”
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”
No Surprise As Islamic Center In Tusa Suburb Is Denied Amongs Opposition
Have to say, I’m not surprised a proposed Islamic center in the Tulsa suburb of Broken Arrow was denied. Officials on the BA City Council said it was an issue over traffic and the proposal just didn’t meet the standards. Which is all bullshit. You don’t have to be a genius to understand why it was shot down. Ever since the 1990s, people who are Islamic areContinue reading “No Surprise As Islamic Center In Tusa Suburb Is Denied Amongs Opposition”
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”
