Stream Of Consciousness Weariness.

I’m tired. So tired. I have been a Republican all of my life, extant. I have seen presidents come and go. Some I liked and some I didn’t. I never, EVER, thought of any of them as being worth anything more than a smack down in an op-ed or, more recently, on “social” media. I didn’t

Calm Down, America: Trump Knows What He’s Doing

Since President Trump announced his latest offer to the Democrats to end the Federal Government shutdown and get financing for the wall, social media has been exploding in a mass of chest thumping, screaming in anger, hair pulling, and nasty comments toward him…..

High School Boys.

I grew up in an area with a couple of Catholic schools, (that went to at least 8th grade), 5 public elementary schools, a public Jr., (7th &8th grades),  H.S. and a LARGE public H.S.

Let me clue you in on a secret. It’s not helping. Or, to be more accurate, it IS helping. The RIGHT. Yes, that’s right, the RIGHT. The

When Will Western Civilization Learn?

It’s happened again. More people dead, wounded, maimed for life. The terror attack in Manchester, England at the Manchester Arena during a concert was unfortunately, in this day and age, no surprise. Britain, France and Germany have allowed this invasion, yes, Islam considers this “refugee” exodus an invasion. Now they’re paying for it. Yet, they

A VERY Personal Experience.

There’s an experience I had. A very bad experience. I tell about this every once in a while, but never written down to this point of detail. I hope the retelling moves you the way the experience itself moved me; or at least provides you with insight to why THIS particular grumpy old goat is
