Never underestimate the power of belief. Belief can overcome a lot of things. It can overpower strength. It can outrun speed. It can outperform talent. In the micro it is but a flash in the thought process, but in the macro, it divides, conquers, and kills. Religions are based on belief. Governments are based onContinue reading “Belief”

If Worse Comes to Worst
There are those that will tell you it already has, but let’s take a closer look at the “worst-case scenario” with our current “leadership” in charge. Total planetary annihilation. Oops. Bad idea. I don’t wanna be your buzzkill today. That would make for a very short blog post anyway. So, it takes a change inContinue reading “If Worse Comes to Worst”
They Said it Couldn’t be Done
I am certainly not trying to jinx anything, but there is now a small flame of hope burning in Old Trafford. Just a couple matches into Michael Carrick’s interim caretaker manager audition for the Manchester United Red Devils and at long last, I sense a renewed excitement on the pitch and in the team afterContinue reading “They Said it Couldn’t be Done”
They Went That-a-Way!
That whacky Ayatollah is at it again. He has killed 16,500 Iranian protesters (so far) and injured another 330,000. Did you hear that? Those are real WAR numbers, not just ending a few protests. So, the Big Dogg committed mortgage fraud. BFD. Nobody gives a shit anymore. They’ve already accepted the fact he’s crooked asContinue reading “They Went That-a-Way!”
Who Ya Gonna Believe?
That venerable French museum The Louvre is raising its admission price by 45%. To go packed like sardines and look at old stuff. Don’t get me wrong; I love museums and I have been fortunate enough to visit several of the world’s greatest. But what can they be escalating prices for? Are they adding moreContinue reading “Who Ya Gonna Believe?”
If I’ve Told You Once…
Hey Meta! Hey dumbass! STFU and quit having an artificial entity run your life. Think for yourself! It’s tough enough living in America today, but can you imagine how nice it must be to be an American citizen in Venezuela right now? Talk about persona non grata. The whole transgenders-in-sports debate is back in theContinue reading “If I’ve Told You Once…”
Hold Your Nose
The Department of Homeland Security has found that their version of what happened in the shooting of Renee Nicole Good, murdered in Minnesota, was met with a firestorm of scorn, ridicule and doubt so they did what anyone would do. They changed their story. There you go now. All better. Except for Cuba. It’s lookingContinue reading “Hold Your Nose”
The Long and Short of it
Now President Gustavo Petro of Colombia is jumping all froggy on our president. Like Colombia is the model for anything. Puh-leeze. The corruption and fraud existed on several layers in Minnesota, not just a couple of barefoot Somali kids playing around on a computer. So, when I hear Democrat Governor Tim Walz deny knowing anythingContinue reading “The Long and Short of it”
Wayward Thinking…
Somewhere in the forests of Colorado, a mountain lion is roaming free after killing a woman on New Year’s Day. She was an intruder, walking on his path in his home. The loss of any life I believe to be tragic, but the human response was predictable and even more of a tragedy. When theyContinue reading “Wayward Thinking…”
Hold On
That nerdy little gamer son of yours now has another potential conduit for his gaming ”skills.” Military drone operator. Except these aren’t little electronic dots and blips he’s dealing with; these are real bombs killing real people. Real bombs bombing real hospitals and schools. If they are great gamers, they will be great at killingContinue reading “Hold On”
