Threats

Everyone and everything is a threat. Different countries, different ideologies; I can understand it at a base level.But within our own borders? Threats of rigged elections, of government shutdowns. Shut down what? What have any of you entitled self-important dickwads done?Divided our country, lessened our global importance? Hey, thanks. Yeah, why don’t you shut down?Continue reading “Threats”

Initials

We call everything by it’s initials since we are a very lazy society in general. In recent news, SBF was denied bail in NYC for his role in FTX and his fucking over people to the tune of billions of dollars. I bet if you made him turn his hands over, you wouldn’t find aContinue reading “Initials”

If The Shoe Fits

With all the anti-American sentiment emanating from our own politicians, it’s hard to believe that there are people who actually want to live here in this country. Go down to El Paso and see what the sentiment is there. So when the hell did the machete become the preferred weapon of choice for rednecks? Can’tContinue reading “If The Shoe Fits”

News Makers

Used to be the news stations would report the news. Then came the insidious VNR’s and the news was now not what it is, but what the news stations want you to think it is.

An awesome song by Don Henley and the subject of today’s reading from my book Emotions: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! I am sure in some point in time, I will record and post a few Don Henley tunes that I cover. Man, what a voice. A big musical influence on me and my style, asContinue reading “The End of the Innocence”

Dialing it In

An expression that refers to effort, and how much a person gives of themselves. Instead of fighting and battling against something, isn’t it easier to just “dial it in” with minimal or no effort? I can’t do that. Never could. My problem many times, is giving TOO MUCH and OVERREACHING. Sounds weird, but that’s howContinue reading “Dialing it In”

Bailouts

I was curious to see what the definition of bailout was beyond the most obvious bail situation—getting out of jail. Dictionary.com lists it as a noun example:  a government bailout of a large company. And as an adjective example: bailout measures for hard-pressed small businesses. Am I missing something here? Government bailouts are nothing newContinue reading “Bailouts”
