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!”
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”
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?”
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”
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”
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!”
This Is What People Want
The greatest myth of the American ideology is that even though “All men are created equal,” no one is willing to share their toys with other people. We’ve always wanted inequality. Yes, people, well…men, might be created equal in theory, but after we’re born we’re on our own. Currently the National Guard was at aContinue reading “This Is What People Want”
Don’t Give Trump Anymore Press
Ten years ago on the The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, they discussed that the reason Donald Trump is getting so much attention is because people keep talking about him. This was back when he was one of many candidates (Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush among them) and considered the dark horse candidate. Granted, weContinue reading “Don’t Give Trump Anymore Press”
