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”

If It Doesn’t Sound Too Real To Be Good, It Probably Isn’t
Let’s be honest. Just about anyone with any common sense could’ve told you over 10 years ago a lot of the social media posts and chatter was from bots. When South Park did an entire episode over sponsored content, it wasn’t the best, but it was a warning sign. The newspaper company I worked for had started doing this around 2013. The concept they proposed was people paying us to write stories about them. ButContinue reading “If It Doesn’t Sound Too Real To Be Good, It Probably Isn’t”
Peace And Love For Those On Transgender Day Of Remembrance
Today is one of those day we wish we didn’t have, but it’s Transgender Day of Remembrance. Ever since 1999, Nov. 20 has been designated as a day of remembrance for all those transgender people who have been murder. In the 1990s, three women, Rita Hester, Chanelle Pickett and Monique Thomas, all transgendered were murdered.Continue reading “Peace And Love For Those On Transgender Day Of Remembrance”
Donnie & Bill, Sitting In A Tree
I wouldn’t doubt that the current POTUS had a sexual interaction with another man. I’m sure what’s really keeping a lot of the information of the Epstein Files from going public is how many powerful men have engaged in sexual assaults of men and young boys. When it comes to sexually assaulting teenage girls, a lot of men can look the otherContinue reading “Donnie & Bill, Sitting In A Tree”
Peace And Love To The Families Of Cleto Escobedo III And Jimmy Kimmel
I know a lot of people probably don’t like Jimmy Kimmel, but you have to show some empathy for the family of Cleto Escobedo III. The musician was the long-time band leader of Jimmy Kimmel Live! On Nov. 11, he reportedly passed away following a long-term illness. On the show on that night, Kimmel fought back tears with no luck as he recalled the life of Escobedo,Continue reading “Peace And Love To The Families Of Cleto Escobedo III And Jimmy Kimmel”
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”
No Kings Nor Dictators
I had high hopes of attending the local No Kings protest. But Mother Nature had other ideas as a thunderstorm came through at around the same time of the planned protest beginning at 10 a.m. CMT. I also wasn’t feeling well but I was happy to see several people out protesting in my hometown ofContinue reading “No Kings Nor Dictators”
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”
Class Dismissed For Ryan Walters
When I was covering education in Oklahoma schools about 15 years ago, it was ranked 17th in the nation and then the next year in 2011, it was ranked 11th. Not bad for a state that is often the butt of jokes. Yet, when I was covering education, I noticed faculty/staff and administrators were moreContinue reading “Class Dismissed For Ryan Walters”
