My wife has a Trump calendar, complete with beautifully photographed images of the President and First Lady at the top of each month. I think one of our few trusted conservative friends gave it to her. Whatever the case, my wife pridefully posted it in the kitchen, where it stays on full display — until…
In part one of this post, I talk about American television commercials, and how I’m not particularly crazy about them. Sometimes they can be funny, irreverent, dramatic, cute, or artful, but for the most part, I just tune them out because they’re so bad. So, how could you make advertising even worse? Well, the British…
There’s an old joke: What’s the longest word in the English language? Answer: The one that comes right after the announcer says “…and now a word from our sponsor.” My wife likes TV commercials. I don’t. She will yell out, “come and see this commercial,” actually having rewound and put it on pause so I…
In the unlikely event that you are fortunate enough to know one of the brave soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy seventy-five years ago today, be sure to say “thank you!” The youngest of the men are in their 90’s. There are fewer and fewer of them. I regret that American history is not…
If you’re reading an American newspaper, or watching CNN, MSNBC, or even Fox News, you’re missing news even more important than which mean message one politician tweeted about another. Liberals want to take away our freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. In Europe, they’re far ahead of the United States in taking…
Nancy Pelosi needs to learn something: You can’t repeatedly stab a man in the back, while accusing him of having a temper tantrum, then turn around, and expect him to welcome you into his home and say, “Let’s be friends and work together.” Since we’re talking about Nancy, maybe I should use the proper term…
My house is filled with hate. If you’re a conservative, yours’ may be, too. My living room, my kitchen, even my bedroom, is filled with hate! With a house filled with so much loathing, how am I enlightened enough to know this? To be honest, I really didn’t know. Not until Elizabeth Warren explained it…
Imagine for a moment what would happen if every American who considers himself or herself a conservative disappeared from the face of the earth in one big cosmic POOF! Unfortunately, that includes me, and presumably you, if you’re one of the loyal readers of this blog. Hard to imagine, isn’t it. Doesn’t that mean that…
There’s a danger lurking in the House of Representatives. Actually, there are many dangers in the House, including all 235 democrats. But I’m referring to one in specific. It’s H.R. 5 – The Equality Act. And if it becomes law, freedom of speech and freedom of religion in America will be gone forever. I’m not…
Imagine that Joe Biden is a football coach, rather than a politician. And he’s the chief coach for one of the great teams. It’s just a few days before the big game. Coach Joe walks behind his team, taking time to bend over and smell the hair of the lineup as he goes. Eventually, after…
