As I watch the news all this week about all this DOGE nonsense, I thought I would take the opportunity to tell all the folks out there in the META world that you are being conned. I see the usual folks on Facebook and Instagram just giddy with all this Continue Reading

Is There an Answer in that Word Salad?
A Failure to Communicate I have watched many politicians from both sides of the aisle handle media interviews these days, and they’ve turned not answering media questions into an art form. It’s almost as it they are trained to respond to reporter’s question with the answer they want to give.” Continue Reading
SNL’S BEST
Saturday Night Live is fifty years old this week. The original premise of the show was to replace replays of the Tonight show starring Johnny Carson. Mr. Carson preferred to have the reruns run during the week so he could take some time off, so Saturday Night Live was born. Continue Reading
Term Limits
Another topic I hear voters talk about all the time is term limits. For some unexplainable reason many Americans believe if we set term limits on Congress, it will suddenly start to function normally. The implicit argument is that Washington, with its corrosive practices, corrupts even the most well-intentioned lawmakers. Continue Reading
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
A few weeks back, a dear friend of mine mentioned that while I maintain I am an independent voter, I have been leaning to the left too much in my views. I thought to myself, maybe I should do self-reflection and see if I am missing something and expand my Continue Reading
You Reap What You Sow
I always like to see the knee jerk reactions to current events, especially on Facebook. There was an attempted assassination of former President Trump over the weekend, and it didn’t take more than an hour for the Trumpers to show up online to express their disdain. Now, before I attempt Continue Reading
How Not to Run an Organization
I am not a huge fan of the NBA, haven’t been for quite some time. I don’t like the length of their season (way too long) and the product they put on the floor is simply horrendous! As it happens, I was flipping through the channels the other night and Continue Reading
USS Corry
June 6th, 2024 marks the 80th anniversary of D-day, the day Allied forces stormed the beaches and countryside of Normandy France and change the tide of World War 2. There are countless stories of heroism and bravery that surround this day, the Army Rangers who climbed Pointe du Hoc to Continue Reading
Memorial Day
Memorial Day is an American holiday on the last Monday of May that honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. This is the official definition of Memorial Day, however, I believe Memorial Day is a day to say “Thank You” and to acknowledge the ultimate Continue Reading
The Handmaid’s Kicker
I generally don’t pay attention to movie stars and professional athletes when they out blabbing their views of the world. I usually just hear Charlie Brown’s teacher and disregard it in kind. I mentioned this several times in the past that these folks live in a different reality than the Continue Reading
