Bend Over

You elected him… The headline reads: Pope rebukes Trump over… (insert latest dumbass thing he did or said here). Like DJT could give two shits what the Pope thinks or wants. He doesn’t trust him. He doesn’t trust anybody he can’t buy or bully. On to the important world-changing Executive Orders of the President. HowContinue reading “Bend Over”

Get Real

          I was not going to pay those money grubbers at ESPN+ one red cent, so I had to keep up with my Manchester United Red Devils through the delayed Gamecast on the channel I DO pay for.           I both praise the Premier League football club unnecessarily sometimes, and criticize them unnecessarily at others.Continue reading “Get Real”

Teamwork

Our man DJT has turned his attention to one of the world’s greatest problems and a real threat to global annihilation. He has signed a bill to ban male athletes that are genetically altered from participating in girls and women’s sports. This is a subject I dare not broach with my wife, the Domestic Despot,Continue reading “Teamwork”

Red Flags

Your wife is always “too tired” and is totally fine with you going without her. Red flag. Last-minute and pop-up plans are met with a smile and a wistful, “oh well.” Red flag. You decide to drive to a club to go out drinking with your buddies. Red flag. There are too many options thatContinue reading “Red Flags”

Hold On!

Every time I turn around, Trump has signed another bill or made another proposal, or has even reached out to everybody and his brother for a conference. WTF? He didn’t do this much in the entire four years of his first presidency. I want to think that is a good thing, but part of meContinue reading “Hold On!”

The Whole Story

By now the aircraft collision over the Potomac River is old news, but you can’t look away, either. The same with the D.C. crash. I hate that about human nature. I also wonder how long it will take to uncover the whole story about what really happened. We know it’s coming. Nothing ever happens exactlyContinue reading “The Whole Story”

Still Worth It?

You have to wonder. Our borders have been open to immigrants from all over the world, and I always thought, their own country must be really bad if they want to come here. They might want to think twice now. The president signed an Executive Order getting the infamous facility at Guantanamo prepped for certainContinue reading “Still Worth It?”

Standards

They should be just what they sound like; set, immovable, intractable and not to be trifled with and avoiding, at all costs, the possibility of lowering your standards. I used to joke to my golf buddies that as much mistrust I have of the medical profession (business), I would still rather have a doctor doContinue reading “Standards”

When All Else Fails…

What do you do when you have to accomplish something and you have tried everything imaginable to no avail? Most people will stop at what they think are their limitations. Parents tell us (as all parents should tell their children) that we can “accomplish anything if we put our minds to it.” They aren’t lying.Continue reading “When All Else Fails…”

Turn the Page (again)

It’s been five days since my Irish got whipped by the Ohio State Buckeyes in the national championship game. And contrary to popular belief in South Bend, the sun did indeed rise today. My boys did me proud, but there was no mistake they were beaten by a bigger, stronger, and faster team. Good coachingContinue reading “Turn the Page (again)”
