Thanks to All Veterans

I don't know who wrote it, but it's certainly worth repeating: "It is the veteran, not the preacher, who has given you freedom of religion. It is the veteran, not the reporter, who has given you freedom of the press. It is the veteran, not the poet, who has given you freedom of speech. … Continue reading Thanks to All Veterans

Questions

The first question: ARE YOU BETTER OFF TODAY THAN YOU WERE 2 YEARS AGO? We don’t let athletes bet on games they have the ability to influence. Why do we allow Congress to invest in companies they regulate? Why is it that when archaeologists find human remains, they always determine that they are either male … Continue reading Questions

Below is the EOD for September 01: The Soul Of The Nation President Joe Biden is scheduled to deliver a prime-time address at Independence Hall tonight on the fight for “the soul of the nation.” Based on his recent remarks, … Continue reading American Values

Age-isms

I received this in an email. Don't shoot the messenger. Unfortunately, I can relate! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake. I’m responsible for what I say, not what you understand. Common sense is like deodorant. The people who … Continue reading Age-isms

Native American Proverbs

Chief Sitting Bull: “If we must die, we die defending our rights.” “The white man knows how to make everything, but he does not know how to distribute it. Strangely enough, they have a mind to till the soil, but the love of possessions is a disease in them.” “I am a red man; if … Continue reading Native American Proverbs

So shall they fear The … Continue reading Battle Stations!

The wind causes the flag to wave and ripple, and the pole moves and sways as the flag bears the onslaught of the wind, changing directions, blowing this way and that, gusting to make the flag whip and flutter. … Continue reading The Wind and The Flag

What’s Next?

Consider the following: The Democrats and their Deep State and media allies were willing to illegally spy on Donald Trump. The Democrats used false information to charge the president with treason for colluding with Russia. Later they added a phone call they didn't like to enforce their charges. The Democrats perverted and corrupted the most … Continue reading What’s Next?

The Grey-Haired Brigade

(I did not write this, but I wish I had!) They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, blue hairs, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire, others are from the Greatest Generation already retired. We walk a little slower these days and … Continue reading The Grey-Haired Brigade

Last Fourth

Remember last Fourth of July? No protests, no riots, no COVID-19, and who ever heard of “social distancing?” We all went out with family and friends, watched the fireworks displays, maybe shot off some fireworks of our own. Some of us taught our kids how to safely hold sparklers, set off firecrackers, and shoot “pop … Continue reading Last Fourth
