Unless you have to. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is endorsing Kathy Hochul’s bid for reelection as Governor. And he’s getting a load of shit for it. Why? Why is he endorsing her or why is he catching hell for it? He’s endorsing her because she has shown a willingness to work together withContinue reading “Never Surrender”

Wake Me When It’s Over
Los Angeles, the City of Angels, is the site of the latest group of anti-ICE protesters jumping up and getting froggy with Kristi Noem’s gang. My money is on ICE. They have guns, have shown that they will not hesitate to use them, and if they err, it ill be on the side of stomp-your-face-first-ask-questions-laterContinue reading “Wake Me When It’s Over”
Look Into the Abyss
Even the Washington Post knows when enough is enough. Jeff Bezos’ next move will probably be to rename the paper the Trump-Washington Post and skip a few steps. Besides, what do we need pesky old impartial news for anyway? We have Trump to tell us what, and how, to think. In a few years, they’llContinue reading “Look Into the Abyss”
Royal Misconceptions
Even my buddies the British don’t believe in any of the old royal concepts as they relate to the human condition in the 21st century. Not anymore. They have cell phones. Ordained? By whom? A God that nobody can agree on? And while all the attention has been focused on our horny old president, theContinue reading “Royal Misconceptions”
Age is Just a Number
One of the Dumbass Doctors—Phil or Oz (I can’t remember which) has posited that with the age expectancy climbing, the first person who will reach 200 years of age in their lifetime has already been born. Can you friggin’ even imagine being two-hundred? If you are young, of course not. Hell, you probably can’t evenContinue reading “Age is Just a Number”
Belief
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?”
