President Trump on Friday fired the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General C.Q. Brown, and pushed out five other admirals and generals in an unprecedented shake-up of U.S. military leadership. The president has every right to fire and hire anyone he likes into these leadership positions. Let’s Continue Reading

The World According to Doge!
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
Transactional Fraud!
Yes, I have kept quiet for long enough. Yup I have seen all the comments about fraudulent spending at USAID. Follow the money and you will find who approved it! Wasteful spending for sure! Must have been the Biden administration for sure! Government employees hiding something! Once again, many folks Continue Reading

HOW HATE GROWS
Hate is the worst seed you can plant in a garden. It will consume everything in the garden and leave you with nothing. Like Tony and many others have said, no one should be happy with what happened no matter what you think of Donald Trump. With as much disdain 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
Foreign Aid
There are many political topics that can get folks riled up in our present times but there is one that seems to pop up on almost every week on social media, US Foreign Aid. I listen to people all the time, folks who are generally, intelligent individuals but just get Continue Reading
