There are no veterans remaining from the War to End All Wars. World War I didn’t end all wars but it did begin the tradition of remembering those who died on the field of battle defending their nations. In Europe, they call it Remembrance Day and display the red poppy, recalling the poet’s words In Flanders Fields. Those who died on the bloody fields of World War I have not been forgotten even though those who fought alongside them and … Continue reading “Thank You, Veterans”
Vote! Vote! VOTE!!!
In case that title is too subtle for you, get off your duff and go VOTE! I don’t want to hear the usual stupid excuses. My vote doesn’t count! Really? How do they know to count all those other votes and not yours? The only way to win is to have the most votes. That the other guy got votes too doesn’t negate the votes cast for the winner. Sure, the extra votes received are what puts the candidate over … Continue reading “Vote! Vote! VOTE!!!”
A Word About Hurricane Helene
Dear Lord, Thank You that it wasn’t worse and for all those You protected. Now, Father, please give us as individuals, as communities, as churches and as a nation the strength to help all those in need. All those displaced. All those without supplies. All those without power. All those desperately seeking loved ones. All those hurt and injured. All those grieving. All those still missing. All those still in need of rescue. All of them. Grant us the strength … Continue reading “A Word About Hurricane Helene”
Will Biden be Removed?
I really hate these clickbaity titles and I hate even more that they are probably the most correct to use right now. Short answer: yes, no, maybe. Long answer: panicky parties are impossible to predict. Panicky, incompetent parties even more so. So, it’s been a week and a half since the debate, has my opinion changed? Nah. Biden has again refused to step aside and no amount of ‘political pressure’ is gonna blast him out of the big chair. He … Continue reading “Will Biden be Removed?”
A Word on the Attempt on President Trump’s Life
A person was shot and killed and a second is in critical condition today. First and foremost, all our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of today’s assassination attempt. We also are grateful that President Trump was not seriously wounded and is doing well. We pray for him and his family as they recover from this assault. Tomorrow, we’ll worry about the political ramifications. Today, we grieve for the victims, those we know about and those we will be … Continue reading “A Word on the Attempt on President Trump’s Life”
Devastation! Biden Debate Meltdown
Well, that ought to be a clickbaity enough title. Sadly, it’s also true. I have GOT to stop overestimating Democrat competence. I expected Biden to perform poorly but no competent campaign would have let Biden within a thousand miles of that debate knowing he was in such poor condition. You’ll be hearing a lot about the Biden family wanting to fire staff. Well, I agree with them on at least one – that campaign manager should have already been fired. … Continue reading “Devastation! Biden Debate Meltdown”
Trump vs. Biden: Get Your Popcorn!
Today’s the day. 9 pm Eastern. Trump and Biden meet for their first debate in Atlanta. Biden and two CNN moderators versus Donald J. Trump in the political knockdown, drag out of the week! You can catch it on CNN or Fox. You can also wait for the follow up coverage all over social media. CNN isn’t allowing livestream reactions. Gee, wonder why? Yes, that’s dripping sarcasm. Sorry about your shoes. Try white vinegar, cleans sarcasm right up. Okay, here’s … Continue reading “Trump vs. Biden: Get Your Popcorn!”
9 – 0 ! The Constitution WINS!
The United States Supreme Court just handed down a rare unanimous and per curiam decision in the Colorado case attempting to remove Donald Trump from the ballot in which the Court reversed the Colorado Supreme Court. Fancy words for the Supreme Court smacked the Colorado Supreme Court hard. Not only will Trump be on the ballot, the Court in no uncertain terms told Colorado and the rest of the States that they do NOT have the power to determine who … Continue reading “9 – 0 ! The Constitution WINS!”
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is more than that big feast between Halloween and Christmas. It’s also one of the most aptly named holidays EVER. The whole thing is right in the title – thanks giving. Not thanks taking, this is not the time to pat ourselves on the back for a harvest well done or a turkey that isn’t drier than toast. This is the one day a year we set aside to do an even better job of what we should do … Continue reading “Happy Thanksgiving!”
Paula’s Friday the Thirteenth Halloween Tale
Okay, Kiddies, gather ’round while I tell you a spooky tale. Because it’s Friday the Thirteenth, Johnny, and I’m not expecting you to make it to Halloween. Ask me one more stupid question and find out. No more questions? Good. Long ago in a deep, dark, swampy forest nothing happened. But up the road about a mile there lived a cranky old lady and her sable cat. Sable means black, Tracy. Here’s the dictionary, look up anything else you don’t … Continue reading “Paula’s Friday the Thirteenth Halloween Tale”
