I am not a police officer. I realize it can be an incredibly stressful and dangerous job. But in light of the murder of George Floyd and the historic mistreatment of minority populations and economically disadvantaged communities, I do share some advice from my perch as just a regular American citizen. Dear police, You are … Continue reading
In his 1938 children’s story “The Poisonous Mushroom,” Nazi party member Julius Streicher presents a mother’s lesson on Jewish people to her son. “Just as a single poisonous mushroom can kill a whole family, so a solitary Jew can destroy a whole village, a whole city, even an entire nation.” Recently, Cheeto Mussolini’s eldest progeny, … Continue reading
“For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” – Matthew 24:24 After almost four full nights of hate filled fear mongering, complete with calls and chants, reminiscent of a third world banana republic, to extra judicially imprison the opposing party’s candidate, and … Continue reading
I am going to name a series of nations: Canada, France, Germany, Denmark, Australia, and Spain. Now I’m going to list another group of nations: Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, North Korea, and the United States. The first group of countries have all abolished the death penalty.

His veto pen will be the only thing stopping a bunch of mean old … Continue reading
I am so mad that Dictator Cuomo wants us to register our guns! I know, it’s not confiscation, but it’s a slippery slope. Next he’ll be telling us to register our cars. And universal background checks!? What tyranny! First guns, then we’ll need background and credit checks to rent an apartment or get a home … Continue reading
If you want to see pure free market trickledown capitalism at its Ayn Rand-ian finest, look to the drug trade. No unions fighting to get more of those corporate profits into the pockets of the street level slingers. No government regulations requiring warning labels for any negative health effects brought on by the product. You … Continue reading
If you are an old school sportswriter, a member of that tribe of grumpy men who compensate for their youthful athletic inadequacies by penning diatribes against so-called entitled, lazy, and greedy pro athletes—all from the safe confines of the press box and its free buffet spread—because, “Dagnammit, if I had his ability, I’d get my … Continue reading
I have a tough time telling poor people to go out and work their butts off to make minimum wage when I get paid a lot of money, with paid holiday, vacation, and sick time, to simply show up at my job and not do a whole lot. Sure, I’ve worked hard in the past, … Continue reading
