I remember reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy and it was the first time I ever saw the word Palantir. A “palantír” is a seeing stone that can be used to distort truth and present selective visions of reality. Why does this word matter? Well, the word itself is insignificant, Continue Reading

WHAT’S YOUR PURPOSE
I should have written this post over Memorial Day, but hell I was relaxing and enjoying the extra day off like everyone else. I was also thinking of many other things and forgot to write. Then all the banter over politics and the wealthy snapped me back to reality. I Continue Reading
Are You Paying Attention?
Just to piggyback on to my article the other day about the separation on Church and State, right on cue a sitting US senator proved my point. Ted Cruz during an interview with Tucker Carlson stated “biblically commanded to support Israel”, got that? Of course, he had no idea where Continue Reading
Separation of Church and State
I am a huge advocate of the separation of church and state. Our founding fathers knew exactly what they were doing when they wouldn’t recognize a national religion. It is one of the reasons they came and started this republic. Some of the colonist came here to escape the Church Continue Reading
LET’S HAVE A PARADE!
In a world full of fiscal insanity at the government level, there is one thing that always seems affordable no matter how bad the debt or deficit might be, I’m speaking of course about, a parade. I’ve heard countless city, state and federal officials speak about how bad any of Continue Reading
A New Pope, A New Hope! A Blessing for some, not so important to others.

PUBLIC or PRIVATE? WHAT A SHIT SHOW!
I need to start out this post by reminding folks about what has been happening in the first few months of this current administration. Like Tony and I have said, there is nothing wrong with making cuts to the Federal government to improve efficiency & effectiveness. What you may not Continue Reading
Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History
As I sit and watch the circus that we now call our government, one of the things that has me concerned is the treatment or mistreatment of women and the lack of any type of response to it. I have two daughters and two granddaughters and what I see playing 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
EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY
Well, I’m back. I actually have been working on 2 different pieces, but figured I better write this one, since it deals with current events and once again I was getting tired of reading post by people who have no idea what they are talking about. So, I need to Continue Reading
