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”
‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ May Still Have Some Life Left In It
It never surprises me that the people who denounced “cancel culture” and screamed “Fuck your feelings!” have always been the most insensitive. Decades ago, it was “America: Love it or Leave it!” during the Vietnam War era. Following 9/11 as the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan raged on, people screamed, “If you don’t like it,Continue reading “‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ May Still Have Some Life Left In It”
I’m The Kinda Guy Who Laughs At A Funeral. Can’t Understand What I Mean?
As a human being, you’re allowed to have whatever emotions you want compared to the situation. When my stepfather passed away from cancer in 2005, he got buried in a cemetery near a church in BFE Georgia in the Appalachian foothills. Google Maps didn’t exist and the road sign had been stolen so the hearseContinue reading “I’m The Kinda Guy Who Laughs At A Funeral. Can’t Understand What I Mean?”
No Empathy Allowed
Let m start by saying, I don’t condone gun violence. Yes, I own firearms. But I don’t walk around all the time showing off my guns, nor do I think it’s always the answer to everything. Yes, you should call 911 and use guns as a last line of defense. Charlie Kirk died on Sept.Continue reading “No Empathy Allowed”
Peace And Love To The People Of Minneapolis And Minnesota
It’s almost becoming a daily if not weekly routine in America where someone goes into a school or school event and opens fire killing and injuring people. This time it happened at a parochial school, Annunciation Catholic School, in the Minneapolis area where two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed. There are 17 peopleContinue reading “Peace And Love To The People Of Minneapolis And Minnesota”
‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Cancelation Is Not An Odd Coincidence
Nowadays, it seems just about anyone with some recording material and a website domain name can become a podcast celebrity. Times change and we as a a society have to change with them. Therefore, I can see that we may be in the autumn years of the talk show format. Do we really need celebritiesContinue reading “‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Cancelation Is Not An Odd Coincidence”
Happy Birthday, U.S. Army! And Happy Flag Day! And No Kings!
Today is the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and that’s the only birthday that really counts today. (Ok, maybe someone out there reading this has a special day and I say, Happy Birthday to you!) But let’s not forget the reason we needed to form a national army in the first place. The AmericanContinue reading “Happy Birthday, U.S. Army! And Happy Flag Day! And No Kings!”
