Changing Times

January 19th, 2023

That was then.  This is now. During their medal ceremony in the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City on October 16, 1968, two African-American athletes, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, each raised a black-gloved fist during the playing of the US national anthem to show solidarity with oppressed Black people worldwide.  Forty-five years ago it was …

Ten(+5) Piece Nuggets

January 16th, 2023

Happy MLK Day.  There are 15 nuggets on your plate this AM. We wonder what Martin Luther King would say about the latest statue unveiled yesterday in Boston in his honor.  “I had a dream that all statutes aren’t created equally!”  Well, it’s art. Little did we know that during the 2020 election cycle, Joe …

And, We’re Off!

January 12th, 2023

If you’re like most you probably needed this past weekend to decompress from the stress of reliving the pain and suffering brought about by the anniversary of Insurrection Day last Friday. Hopefully, on Monday you weren’t cheering for TCU.  If you were, by Tuesday morning you must have felt like anyone who fought Iron Mike …

Ten Piece Nuggets

January 9th, 2023

Git yersef sum. President Biden visited the border in El Paso yesterday and not a single homeless camp nor any illegals were trying to cross.  It’s amazing what he can accomplish when he puts his mind to it.  He actually said he needs the Republicans to help solve the situation as well.  Oh, yes he …

A House Divided

January 4th, 2023

Today is day two.  Yesterday was day one- the First Session of the 118th United States Congress commenced with Members of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives in attendance. Like going back to school, everything was new.  Pencils are long and freshly sharpened.  Notebooks have nothing but white pages and the spiral …

Happy Shwanza and New Year, Part 2

December 29th, 2022

Yesterday we laid out the way the first half of 2023 will go.  Today we tackle the last half.  The glass is half full. July Prez Biden celebrates our nation’s independence on July 4th with a socially distanced, mask-wearing picnic on the WH lawn.  He reminds America that he was one of the original signers …

Happy Shwanza and New Year

December 28th, 2022

Hopefully, all of your recent days were merry and bright.  Or, as Nancy Pelosi wished all, “Happy Shwanza!” Now we march on to 2023.  Surely it will return us to some normalcy?  We’re due since 2020, 2021, and 2022 were duds. Our new crystal ball (up 22% in cost year over year) gives us a …

Wring Ring

December 20th, 2022

You can’t ring in the new until you first wring out the old. Today we provide some facts, falsehoods, truisms, and blatant lies that struck a chord with us in 2022.  We clear the deck for our 2023 predictions next week. It seems like America is ready to dump 2022 on its ear as well.  …

Childish Questions

December 14th, 2022

Leave the place better than you found it.  Pay it forward.  Our children are our future.  Our children are our most precious commodities. You’ve heard them all at one time or another.  They all make sense.  In fact, they make plenty of sense. What doesn’t make sense is how we’re going about it, or not …

In This Corner…..

December 13th, 2022

The fight for control of the narrative is on.  And it’s a heavyweight bout. Standing in one corner is Elon Musk.  His diminutive size should not be dismissed as he packs a hell of a right cross.  Or, as the left suddenly realizes it’s a hell of a cross from the right. Maybe he’s not …
