There comes a time in your life when you have to admit you simply aren’t what you used to be. Several weeks ago in this column I wrote about a step ladder fall. No serious injuries except a noggin bump, dirt in my mouth, ear and nose and some head blood, but otherwise no broken […]
A story in the Wall Street Journal last week caught my eye. It was about a North Korean soldier and was written in his diary after he was killed in the Ukrainian-Russia war. The diary was found on his body and indicated the pure stupidity of the conflict and soldiers and civilians dying. Kim Jong […]
It is simply amazing! Who could have known? On January 6th, 2021, following a fiery, encouraging, mob promoting speech by outgoing President Donald Trump, thousands of MAGA maniacs attacked the U.S. Capital building in an attempt the stopping of the certification of the 2020 election. You remember the TV footage of throngs storming the building, […]
By the time you read this I will have turned 74. (Jan. 2nd) On Sunday (12/29) I stubbornly decided to paint one back wall in the living room. After over 40+ operations, including organ removal, two total knee replacements and a half dozen foot operations, getting up off the floor is, let’s say, an operation […]
In the light of world confusion and upcoming events, let me fill you in on just some of the whacky future in 2025. In an article by Adam Taylor, with Kelsey Baker in the Washington Post they wrote: Data shows global conflict surged in 2024 "The world saw a staggering surge in conflicts over the […]
"Are you insane" category I get numerous press releases from politicians on a daily basis. Most are fluff pieces stating they are promoting this bill, idea, or that. The propositions rarely make headlines, or move past the touting stage and are released just to inform their voters that they really care about a subject their […]
You know that old phrase "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." I swear on a Bible that we have reached way beyond the separation of church and state. Whether it is war, social conditions, or just stubbing your toe in the dark on a night stand, the phrase rings […]
You have to love all the hub-bub over President Biden’s presidential pardon of his son, Hunter Biden. The President has repeatedly stated that he would not interfere in the criminal case and offer to pardon his son. Now that he has, the political pundits have jumped all over the President and have had a heyday […]
I always chuckle when someone in social media, or even in the actual media, quips about how the public has lost confidence in news media. References about the good old days of Walter Cronkite and how we lived and breathed on the major network nightly news was indeed outstanding, but there were flaws and disagreements […]
I don’t give a damn, if you are Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or whatever, the senseless killing of tens of thousands of innocents is beyond comprehension. The latest reports of bombings in both Gaza and Lebanon cannot be justified by claiming enemies are hiding under, beside, or on top of civilian populations. The latest reports point […]
The American electorate has spoken. Not only did President Trump outwit the pollsters, he also secured the overall popular vote and secured the Senate for Republicans. In the Washington Post column by Theodoric Meyer and Leigh Ann Caldwel it was noted: "Trump’s victory represents a remarkable comeback after two impeachments; his conviction in New York […]
Forget Trump, forget Harris, Forget Republicans, Forget Democrats... This long standing division can be traced to one mighty factor, the pendulum swing of ‘past, present and future’. Let me explain. The current division between fossil fuels and new energy sources, between combustion and electric boils down to gearheads not wanting to give up the smell […]
Are they good or bad for his overall image? If the election was down to who garnered the most money donations, Harris has lapped Trump in fundraising after pulling in a record $1.6 billion across various campaign committees , compared to $700 million for the former president. But spending does not guarantee a winner. If […]
It was on one of those short vacations my Wife Patti plans every so often that I discovered the use of a rare gem. Yes, I had heard of them before, but to actually discover its personal use had yet evaded me. Yes folks, the bidet! A device that washes/rinses your butt and genital areas. […]
It is Tuesday morning at 4 a.m. I had a hard time sleeping, kind of disappointed in myself. I have always prided myself in telling it like it is, never wavering from obvious truths, so, here it is folks. Over the past several years I have been honest in my opinion concerning Donald Trump and […]
