Why Are We So Upset With Athletes

I had a thought this morning about the National Anthem. This whole kerfuffle might turn out to be a blessing in disguise. How many of you have attended a high school basketball game or, especially, a football game. When you look around the stands while the anthem is being played members of student bodies are goofing off, laughing and, in general, not paying attention to what their school band is doing. Talk about a lack of respect. The same goes for professional games. Fans are yelling at vendors for a beer. They're laughing and joking while our anthem is being played.

I wonder how many citizens even know the history of The Star Spangled Banner. It's a magnificent story.

Just maybe the attention that has come about to honor our country might give people pause to do the right thing. Maybe.

"Stupid Is As Stupid Does"

OTTAWA, Ontario – A Canadian woman posted graphic images of her eye leaking purple dye after she says a risky tattoo on her eyeball that may leave her partially blind.

Catt Gallinger, a 24-year-old body modification enthusiast from Ottawa, is trying to warn others after getting a “scleral tattoo,” which consists of injecting ink into the white part of the eyeball.

Gallinger, who has a forked tongue, piercings and tattoos, has undergone painful procedures before, but she wrote on Facebook that immediately after the tattoo was done on Sep. 5, purple dye began streaming down her face, and her eye was swollen shut the next day.

Officers arrested a Florida man after his personal home security cameras recorded his drug deals, according to local authorities Thursday.

Juan Dejesus Cabral, 26, was arrested on multiple drug-related charges after six home security cameras, meant to protect against robberies, captured around-the-clock drug dealings, reported Florida’s WFTV Channel 9. Police also arrested his girlfriend Julie Rembert, 20, for drug possession charges.

"Hey, It's Your Money"

The swelling population of illegal immigrants and their kids is costing American taxpayers $135 billion a year, the highest ever, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the the most authoritative report on the issue yet.

And despite claims from pro-illegal immigration advocates that the aliens pay significant off-setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, the Federation for American Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about $116 billion.

State and local governments are getting ravaged by the costs, at over $88 billion. The federal government, by comparison, is getting off easy at $45 billion in costs for illegals.

The Colin Kaepernick Foundation: He's The Gift Who Keeps On Giving

Colin Kaepernick started out taking a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality, but his activism has since expanded to encompass a wide range of leftist causes, including a group named after a convicted cop-killer. The Colin Kaepernick Foundation donated in April $25,000 to Assata’s Daughters, a Chicago “direct action” resistance organization honoring Assata Shakur, who escaped prison and fled to Cuba after being found guilty in the 1973 murder of Officer Werner Foerster.

Are College Football Fans Insane

Yes, even though I'm Iowa born and bred and love my Hawkeyes and Cyclone I've lived in misery in Ohio State Buckeye territory for 29 years. It's not like I detest the Buckeye football team. I just don't care if they win or lose.

Being a former high school football coach in Iowa and Illinois, though, it's more than fair that I can make some observations about Buckeye 'fans'. I'll keep it succinct. They're nuts.

As an example, Ohio State has a quarterback by the name of J.C. Barrett. He's been around for four years. As a matter of fact he was injured during the playoffs a few years ago before the Buckeyes won a National Championship.

Fast forward to 2017. The Ohio State team was decimated in the second game of the season by an excellent Oklahoma team. J.C. Barrett was lambasted by readers who sent in letters to the Columbus Dispatch, the major newspaper in Central Ohio, saying that Barrett should be benched, that he was not up to the task.

Obviously, being a former coach I say, 'what a bunch of non-jock wearing wannabees. J.C. Barrett, after Ohio State destroys Rutgers this week-end will become the all-time passing leader in the illustrious history this University.

Granted, I could really care less about the ensuing scenario. Really, I don't care.It's that it's frustrating and a joke that jock sniffers think they know more than those who know the game.

I once was sitting next to a guy in a bar who was bitching and moaning about the offense the Cleveland Browns were running. I took a napkin and a pen and asked him to write a Pro set for me. He was clueless.

Doing something like this is the best way to shut people up,

Proper Decorum In The NFL

The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league’s game operations manual, according to a league source. It states:

“The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.

“During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

ObamaCare Forever

It's final. Thanks to Rand Paul and John McCain ObamaCare is here to stay. It doesn't surprise me. I ask you, when what the last time a welfare entitlement was put in place via the federal government then repealed.

I've been around for decades and can't come up with an example. The pols don't want to be the ones to repeal since they'd be viewed as heartless.

Hey, you could be the CEO of Equifax. That'd be a bummer. I've known guys like him who swallowed the gun.

"They're All Good People"

I'm going to pull a CNN on you. I do not recall the name of the NFL player but one of them, in response go Trump's using the phrase SOB, said that all these players were good men.

Being that I'm a skeptic of 99% of what is uttered I find this 'good men' statement ridiculous. Do you know there's a website call NFLarrests.com? Folks, on average, an NFL player is arrested once every 7 days for a violation of the law? I can promise you as soon as I finish this piece I type in NBAarrests.com.

So, here's this Odell Beckham character from the NY Giants. Yeah, he's an immature kid who is representing a team and a city and he takes it upon himself go to the end zone after a missed field goal try, get on all fours then lift his leg pretending to do what male dogs do.  What a guy!

His explanation: He said he was praying the FG try would fail. He's one step removed from the zoo.

This 'N That From Dublin, Ohio

Many of our citizenry are upset that Trump inserted himself into the NFL's business when there are more important issues to be settled in the world. I sort of felt this way when Obama demanded transgender bathrooms.

With age comes maturity. I watched my Iowa Hawkeyes lose to to Penn State on the last play of the game. I then shut off the TV and lights and slept like a baby-------I cried all night long.

Think back to the time you heard a song you absolutely listened to over and over until it make you barf. That's how I feel about the phrase, 'gone viral' and 'understanding diversity'.

The most hated people in this country happen to be Caucasians. That's because our 'white privilege' has made it so.

Speaking of which, we are viewing a film on Epix TV called The Cokeville Miracle. It's a true story, a faith based film and miraculous in it's ending.

Put August of 2018 on your schedule. That's when the Dublin Irishfest takes place. It's also when our favorite group, We Banjos 3, will return.

He is so very, very funny.

Nancy 'Stupid' Pelosi Enters The NFL Controversy

"Meet The Press" host Chuck Todd asked Pelosi on Sunday to weigh in on the debate; she responded Trump should "bring people together" as he promised.

"He should see this as an opportunity," Pelosi said. "Somebody—Colin Komper—Komper—Kumpernick [sic] doing what he did says this flag enables me to do this. This national anthem enables me to do this."

Pelosi said she'd always felt sports and the arts can bring people together.

Kaepernick played for Pelosi's hometown San Francisco 49ers and reached a Super Bowl with the team in the 2012 season but is currently a free agent.

It's Spreading Like A Virus

One needn't look at the photo above and not understand the following text. If it isn't an 8-year old peewee football team in Bellevue, Illinois then it's members of a professional football or baseball squad.

Far be it from me to chastise these young men and women. Cripes, I'm over seventy years old and there are days I don't make my bed leaving the chore to Her Majesty.

Here's my point. This latest wave of exercising our constitutional right of protesting is nothing new. One problem I have is I'm not convinced these young people understand the rights given to them by our Forefather's and the history behind them. In other words, they don't have an appreciation of the gifts given to them. It's like having a birthday. Grandma gives you a $100 and you don't have the common
decency to say 'thank you'.

Roger Goodell, the head of the National Football League has come to the defense of his players after Pres. Trump blasted players for their perceived anti-American actions. Goodell has to come to the aid of his players. The NFL has a lot of money riding on what he does so he criticized the president for his recent comments. It just seems that everyone from my wife's manicurist to the bag boy at my golf club has an opinion on this issue but, know what, it's their right to do so. . It's also my right to not get involved.

Stephen Curry of the World Champion San Franciso Warriors announced he he was torn between going to the White House or not. That's fine. The White House rescinded the invite.

There is a parallel here, guys. Some of these people take a knee to protest what they perceive as social injustice and are cheered. Tim Tebow, a lightening rod for the Far Left, takes a knee to praise the Lord and he becomes a symbol of the hate the Left is trying to destroy. You can't have it both ways or can you? It's like saying vanilla is the best ice cream to eat and then fly into a rage when someone tells you you're nuts.

And how, you might ask, would I not become enmeshed in this recent controversy? For example, there's a beautiful smallish river called Darby Creek just five miles west of us in Plain City, Ohio. It flows through the beautiful woodsy terrain of Central Ohio. It would be a very nice setting to use different lures by casting them in its flowing waters. I would be enjoying the gift of nature and if another fisherman happens to come near my spot the chances of his casting on one knee is nil.

Also, I'm too old to get involved in this nonsense. Maybe, if God gave us one 'do over' then I'd give this consideration. Possibly in the next life.

I would be willing to wager my monthly social security check that 90%of the population of the Amazon River basin and all of its tributaries are unaware of the raging 'kneeling' controversy in America. The same goes for the entire populations of Tibet, Somalia, Uzbekistan----combined.

Besides, why sweat it, folks. Next year it will be something else.

Counterpoint: There's an interesting blog called The Rightly Guided. I put an excerpt from today's post:

Devoted Cowboys fan since I was 10 years old. They were the game on our local TVs that Sunday and my buds and I knew every name on the roster. (Don’t ask me any of them now, too long ago to remember).  But I am losing my NFL religion, lately.  A Commissioner who fires back at the President and owners that grovel along with him have just chased away a life-long fan.  But of course I’m just one old guy…who cares?

Besides, it’s an Evil, Racist, White Supremacist Organization that deserves to fail along with the rest of Evil, Racist, White Supremacist America on account of some cops shooting black people and also People Of Color dead just ask poor and unemployed Colon Krinkledick, he will tell you if you care to listen. (No that’s just a link to how much he’s worth.

How Teachers Receive Reprimands

Let's say you happen to be an elementary school teacher and want to make a point to your students. "Hey kids, watch me take this magic marker and cross out the word 'Men' as in 'All Men are created equal' to 'All humans are created equal'.

This happened in Arizona. The teacher wants to make all of( is it safe to write her), of their education gender neutral.

I've a better idea. Why not teach kids words that are wrong as they grow up in the home. For example, my parents could have taught me the proper name for a cup isn't that at all. They would have said it was an elephant or whatever came to their mind. The world is so screwed up now what difference would it have made?

Think about it.

John McCain, The Perfect Pol-------He's A 1st Class Liar

reelected him in 2016 that he'd repeal ObamaCare, but only if the Senate followed all the proper "procedures." But that's his excuse now for killing what is likely the last chance to get rid of this law.

After signaling that he could support the latest ObamaCare repeal-and-replace effort authored by Sens. Bill Cassidy and Lindsay Graham, McCain issued a statement saying that "health care reform legislation ought to be the product of regular order in the Senate."

This is, he says, "the only way we might achieve bipartisan consensus on lasting reform, without which a policy that effects one-fifth of our economy and every single American family will be subject to reversal with every change of administration and congressional majority."

McCain's own actions prove that he's wrong.

Remember, ObamaCare itself was hardly enacted using "regular order." The Senate passed the bill using the exact same technique that Republicans have been trying to use to repeal it — called reconciliation — so they could get the bill approved without worrying about a Republican filibuster. Not one Republican voted for ObamaCare

What 487 Means And Why It's Important

487 Mondays: As we see all of the protests and other civil unrest in America, it’s easy to think that it’s a groundswell of outrage. Knowledge takes us beyond that mere information!

Ever since the 2016 election, we’ve seen an increase in violence in America. The media would have you believe that this a country wide, groundswell of discontent. Many good folks are getting scared. Well, the good news is that the bad news is more “fake news”! I’ve been studying the violence and tracking it on a map. The map I’m using is the one that shows which counties Hillary won and which Trump won.

It’s happening in one of the 487 counties that Hillary Clinton won in 2016! The protesters know that they are breaking laws in a community where the local politicians and police are “protestor friendly”.

I wasn’t surprised to see that virtually 100% of these protests and violence was happening in one of the 487 counties that Hillary won! Other than the sheer logistics of being in those counties, I believe that the real reason for their doing these protests in 487 counties is because they own the entire political spectrum in those counties. The own the government, the police and the sheriff. They know that they can protest with little fear of being punished.

Cedar Rapids Iowa And A Young Kid In Need Of Help

I read the Cedar Rapids(Iowa) Gazette every morning for a number of reasons. Primarily, as with other major newspapers that charge a fee, the Gazette does not. Cedar Rapids is located in east central Iowa with a population of around 'I don't know' up to three hundred thousand.

The City is bisected by I-380 running from Waterloo to I-80 on the west side of Iowa City twenty miles to the south. If one happens to reside in the Hawkeye State this is THE place to be. Halfway through CR I can see Coe College, my school of lower learning. If you'll recall I once received two D's and an F for one quarter and my GPA skyrocketed upward.
The Cedar Rapids Gazette gives me the news on the Hawkeyes And Cyclones--for free. I used to enjoy reading stories about prep coaches and Iowa High School sports but since all the coaches of my era are now retired or dead what's the point.

In this morning's issue a reporter, Makayla Tendall, wrote a piece on(oh how I hate to get into this): global warming on Iowa farms. The premise of the study, of course, dealt with animal flatulence.

I sent Ms. Tendall a note on faux GW: anytime, anyplace, anywhere and she responded back asking for my link. It came from Investors Business Daily, not exactly Mad Magazine. It was obvious from her photo she was a youngster so I treated her kindly, not as though she was Michael Moore.

I responded to Ms. Tendall again: 'One link? I could send you three thousand links". Hasn't this women
ever heard of DuckDuckGo?

For your benefit I've placed a paragraph or so from Investors Business Daily on the latest about global warming:

"And, of course, he's quite right. As we've noted here numerous times, the much-feared "global warming" trend seems to have halted somewhere around 1998. We know this is true because satellite temperature readings — the most accurate temperature gauge since it takes in the entire atmosphere, not just parts of it — show there's been virtually no change.

Based on the U.N.'s models, temperatures should have been shooting up sharply starting in about 1995. By this year, model temperatures show we should have had just under a 1.0 degree centigrade rise in temperature, a significant temperature spike in what is, in geological time, an extremely short period. It was those models that were used to sell the world on the idea that we needed a drastic reordering of our global economic priorities immedialy.

The reality: virtually no change in temperature. Put simply, the models are wrong.

Investors Business Daily

I have a question for all of you, especially those who believe in GW or Satan and not God or Aliens who have inhabited the inner core of the earth for millions and millions of years. Heck, if someone could explain Scientology to me without mentioning 'give us your money' I'd be thrilled to death.

A Politician Is A Politician Is A Politician

This is too rich. There was a news story out of NBC4 TV, Columbus , Ohio, tonight about the Marriage Penalty Tax and how it is unfair to us marrieds. The politician speaking out against the tax is one David Leland, a democrat and long time member of the state democrat party.

 As soon as I saw and heard his proposal to rid the state of the tax my radar went up. When was the last time a Dem wanted to get rid of a tax? Can you say never?

It didn't take much research to come up with this gem. Guess who, in 1983, proposed the marriage tax for the State Ohio? Need I tell you but I will. It was David Leland.

My take on this. I'd say there's a Republican candidate running against Leland in the next election who poses a major threat to his throne.

There Is So Very Much Wrong With This Story

Texas A&M cross country runner Ryan Trahan claims that he has been ruled ineligible after using his name, image, and likeness as an Aggies athlete on his YouTube page to promote a water bottle company that he started before enrolling at the university

.

The NCAA has come under fire in recent years for rules that prohibit student athletes from earning money off of their own image, which effectively prevents amateurs from doing endorsement deals of any kind.

As Trahan explained on YouTube, he spoke about his company with an academic advisor, who instructed Trahan to fill out a waiver that would allow him to continue in his role as co-owner of Neptune Bottles. Unfortunately for him, until the matter is settled, he will remain ineligible.

You remember Valerie Plame, right? She suggested her husband for the job of debunking Bush's claims about Iraqi weapons research.

Since then she had a movie made about her, glamorizing her and indeed beatifying her. She's also a big supporter and fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, and is on the board of Ploughsares, a key part of Ben Rhodes'/Obama's "echo chamber" to give Iran the nuclear bomb so that it can wipe Israel off the map.

CBS Local — If you had plans for the weekend, a Christian numerologist says you won’t get to them because the world is about to end.

David Meade, a self-proclaimed “researcher,” is predicting that a series of apocalyptic events will begin on Sept. 23 and, “a major part of the world will not be the same.”

According to Meade, the mysterious rogue planet Nibiru, also known as Planet X, is on a collision course with Earth, which will bring world-ending tsunamis and earthquakes. The numerologist claims the dates of recent events like the Great American Solar Eclipse and Hurricane Harvey’s flooding of Texas were all marked in the Bible. Meade now says his “Planet X theory” lines up with more bible codes and ancient markers on the Egyptian pyramids.

Has Anyone Ever Considered Hillary Might Be Bat Crap Crazy

Off and on for the past eight years in discussing the 'smartest woman in the world' maybe she isn't.

Listen to her give a one on one interview. In the course of a five line paragraph she'll pepper it with 'you know' scads of times.

The head of the Democrat Party(up until November) failed the Washington D.C. Bar Exam twice. Only when she moved to Little Rock did she finally pass. My granddaughter passed the Arkansas Bar Exam when she was six and she'd never heard of Webb Hubbell.

Hillary is a congenital liar. We all know this. From dodging sniper fire in Bosnia to having been named after Sir Edmond Hillary she's proven her ilk as to being possessed.

So, after much contemplation considering the excuses for her massive defeat in the election is it possible there's another explanation for Hillary. Maybe, just maybe, she's nuts.

How Do They Get Away With It?

What about Hillary’s Uranium deal with Russia? Nearly 20% of the U.S.’s Uranium assets were sold to Russia while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State in exchange for $150 million to the Clinton Foundation.

Bill Clinton also gave a speech to the Russia-based Renaissance Capital in Moscow on June 29, 2010.

ill Clinton spoke in Moscow for one hour for half a million dollars. (Breitbart)

But the media has pushed a Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory for almost a year with zero proof.

Hillary Clinton used this projection technique on her opponent by acting like she was ‘anti-Putin’ and ‘anti-Russia’ while claiming Trump was somehow colluding with them.

Hillary Clinton was good friends with the Russians and Vladimir Putin until she no longer saw a way to profit off of them financially. She then turned them into the ‘boogie man’ in order to blame her loss on something and delegitimize President Trump.

What a truly sick woman. Thank God she lost the election. We really dodged a bullet.

This Man Should Be A U.S, Senator

CNN is lamenting the fact that GOP frontrunner for the U.S. Senate in Alabama Judge Roy Moore told pastors and Christians in a speech last month that shootings and killings in American society are the result of removing God from schools.

It's Good To Be A Kennedy

Matthew 'Max' Kennedy was all smiles on Tuesday as he walked out of a Cape Cod courtroom in a gray suit and Prada shoes after criminal charges were dismissed against him following his arrest last month for a booze-fueled brawl with local police.

Prosecutors recommended to the court that disorderly conduct charges be dismissed if the son of Robert F Kennedy admitted he was 'responsible' for a noise violation at a rental house near the Kennedy compound on August 20.

The 52-year-old paid a $150 fine in Barnstable District Court wearing a trim suit with a blue tie and sporting a neat haircut, in direct contrast to the disheveled white mop he sported in his mugshot.

The son of the late senator allegedly taunted police saying, 'You don't know who you're messing with,' and was arrested with his daughter Caroline Summer Rose Kennedy, 23.

Caroline was not in court on Tuesday.

4.000 And Counting

I'm more than pleased the market us up over 4,000 points since Trump took office. Know why? It's because I have more money to do with as I wish in my declining years. Ain't life grand?

Naturally, there will be the naysayers, the foolish ones, who will say the market is for the rich while the common man suffers. Ah Pshaw! If these people wanted more money in their wallets they couldn've have given up beer, cigarettes and potato chips not to mention cable TV. Crimminy sake, we'd been married 8 years before we broke down and bought cable and that's only because we didn't get Sesame Street on regular television. I didn't want my kids to think I was a complete ogre.

I've known people who complain about investments and yet are clueless. I once knew a guy who bemoaned the fact that people made money off of big tobacco. He was a school teacher and was in Zombie Land when it came to the fact that his 401K investments, partially, were going to P. Lorillard.
Twenty years ago The Queen had a broker out of Des Moines who handled her finances. She told him she wanted to put her money in a new, thriving company. He told her she was nuts. The company? It was called Apple. Three new cars later____________.Some win and some lose.

I'm sort of diggin' this 4K increase in the market. We may have to take another trip to Europe.

Hey, you can't  take it with you, pards!

Boycott Hobby Lobby--Again

A Texas woman has been getting ridiculed online for being “too sensitive” after she blasted the arts-and-crafts chain Hobby Lobby for selling faux raw cotton stalks — which she found offensive. “This decor is WRONG on SO many levels,” Daniell Rider posted on Facebook this past Thursday, along with a photo of the phony textile plants. “There is nothing decorative about raw cotton…A commodity which was gained at the expense of African-American slaves,” she said. “A little sensitivity goes a long way. PLEASE REMOVE THIS ‘decor.´” Rider, who is black.

What's All The Nonsense About Mexicans

“The sheer volume of fentanyl pouring into the city is shocking,” said Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget G. Brennan.

Investigators first recovered more than 140 pounds of fentanyl during a raid on a Kew Gardens apartment along with nearly 59 pounds of fentanyl mixed with other narcotics.

A fentanyl dose weighing just two to three milligrams can be deadly. The amount of pure fentanyl seized could have yielded approximately 32 million lethal doses.

They arrested Rogelio Alvarado-Robles and Blanca Flores-Solis in that bust.

Investigators also recovered 55 pounds of fentanyl and heroin in a
September seizure in the Bronx. They took two people — Edwin Guzman, 35, and Manuel Rivera-Santana, 32 — into custody.

Fentanyl is approximately 50 times stronger than heroin and is increasingly found mixed into the illicit narcotics supply in New York City. The drug is driving a spike in fatal overdoses

Hillary: The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Hillary Clinton told host Terry Gross on NPR’s “Fresh Air” Monday that she may challenge the results of the 2016 presidential election.

“No, I wouldn’t rule it out,” Hillary said in a response to a question asking if she would “rule out questioning the legitimacy of this election.”

Clinton stated that she believes the Russian government influenced the election in favor of Trump, and that this could make the outcome illegitimate.

“[Trump knew] they were trying to do whatever they could to discredit me with emails, so there’s obviously a trail there… There’s no doubt they influenced the election: We now know more about how they did that,” Clinton said in the interview.

Ex-President Stands Up For The Common Man

Former President Obama is pulling in hundreds of thousands of dollars giving speeches to Wall Street firms, according to a new report.

That's Not A Mushroom!

A children's TV show has come under fire as it appears to feature a very rude drawing. 

Mother Chey Robinson shared a clip from the first series of the Netflix show Maya the Bee, which saw Maya fly into a log to hide, after spotting something amiss on the bark.

Chey was horrified to discover that the log featured what looked like a drawing of a penis, which she says 'disgusted' her.

The clip has since been viewed over a million times on Facebook, with fellow parents sharing in Chey's shock at the inappropriate clip.

Are You Like Me

Every so often I'll receive an email forward that is absolutely frustrating. I like my emails to be up front and forward. If I have to think about this it's am automatic delete. As an example, this morning I received one of this type below. As soon I I saw it I said to no one in particular, "Adios."

It's Time To Switch To DuckDuckGo

Now that Google does not even hide that they monitor you, it's good to have an alternative. The search engine DuckDuckGo has had huge growth in recent months.

In 2013, Edward Snowden released documents proving that the NSA was conducting warrantless online surveillance at a massive scale, something many had already suspected. In the subsequent year, many people have sought out more secure software to help ensure that their digital privacy remains intact. Groups such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation have subsequently promoted alternatives to popular software which can be easily adopted; such as DuckDuckGo to replace Google. As a result, DuckDuckGo’s popularity has skyrocketed.

DuckDuckGo has been a bit of a magnet for privacy-oriented folk with it promising not to store personal information, track you around with ads, or in any other fashion. 

How'd He Get Away Without Having A Colonoscopy

Dana Milbank, a writer for The Washington Post, believes President Donald Trump is literally killing him.

Milbank said he discovered Trump’s presidency is affecting his health after visiting the doctor for his first physical in 49 years, in an opinion piece published Friday. Milbank said he had to report that he had not been feeling well recently.

“President Trump is killing me. No, really. He’s killing me,” Milbank wrote.

The WaPo writer said he has been suffering from fatigue, headaches, trouble sleeping, and chest pain. Milbank said his blood pressure was “alarmingly high” after his doctor tested it, making a point that his blood pressure has “always been normal.”

Happy Birthday United States Of America

Yesterday was a very big day in the history of this nation. It's too bad the great percentage of our citizenry don't realize it. Two hundred thirty years ago our Founders signed the Constitution of the United States. It is the oldest living governmental document in the history of mankind guaranteeing its citizens the basic rights of human beings.

As anyone, I dare you, to ask the average man on the street to name you any of its laws. Go ahead, I double dog dare you.

Well, it contains our Bill of Rights, those rights guaranteed to you; freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, etc.

The brilliance of the men who authored and signed this masterpiece cannot be denied. The year was 1787. The had the foresight to include what is called the 'necessary and proper clause'. The knew over time that conditions would change, that our nation would not be what it was in 1787. Therefore, they allowed to laws, amendments to the Constitution, to be added to meet our changing times.

I've always stated that God had his hand in it's creation. Never before nor ever after have their been such a diverse group of men gathered together to create the greatest document created by mankind.
