Thank God For Tim Tebow

An 11-year-old boy in the Philippines is recovering from a life-changing corrective surgery on his legs that was made possible by the Tim Tebow Foundation and CURE International. Aldrin, whose last name was not disclosed, was born with a severe leg deformity that left him in unbearable pain from simply standing, and prevented him from walking long distances, Fox 35 Orlando reported.

According to the CURE International blog, Aldrin’s condition was identified as congenital knee dislocation, which caused his knees to bed the wrong way. His stature left him subject to bullying from peers, and prevented him from participating in everyday activities

Hold The Mail

The Queen and I are leaving our Minnesota lake place early on Sunday morning. We're driving to Ohio, 17 hours of torturous interstate. It's a three hour shot from our cabin to The Twin Cities and it flies by like a bullet hitting a target from 20 feet. Driving across Wisconsin is agony and it's only a four hour shot to Beloit. I think it's because doing the I-94 trip is akin to driving in the Indy 500 especially when I-90 coming from the west joins up at Eau Claire.

We'll arrive in Dublin, Ohio sometime around 2 pm on Monday, God willing. In two weeks we'll return to the lake until late September. And why do you ask would be only go home for two weeks then turn around and make the 17 trek? Can you say doctors? Yipper, we both have doctors and at our age they've become our best friends even though we never socialize.

College football begins soon. I already know the outcome for the playoffs. It's going to be Alabama, Ohio State and take your pick. All I really care about are the Iowa State Cyclones and Iowa Hawkeyes. If either goes 8-5 its a winner. 9-4 will be like winning the Super Bowl.

The lake was wonderful this year. Temperatures averaged in the 70's and the 50's at night. Pity the people south of St. Cloud to Mexico. They sweltered.

Stupid Egyptians

An Egyptian zoo is insisting it did not paint a pair of donkeys to look like zebras.

Cairo's International Garden municipal park became a target of ridicule after an Egyptian student, Mahmoud Sarhan, posted images on Facebook of the suspicious beast. Sarhan said that the zoo's two zebras were obviously painted donkeys, a view that has since been embraced by online animal experts.

Sexy Men Are Meat Eaters

Sorry, vegetarian and vegan men, but women prefer your meat-eating brethren. At least according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Padova (that’s in Italy). The study, titled “Eating Meat Makes You Sexy: Conformity to Dietary Gender Norms and Practices,” found that when women were presented with fake bios of men that either showed food preferences that included meat or yogurt, they preferred the men who ate meat.

2,700,000 kids have a parent in prison.


400,000 kids are in foster care.

But the media, the Democrat congress and leftists in general, focuses on 2,000 kids who are temporarily separated from their parents.

Where Were You Born

Last week a woman in Texas gave birth to a baby in the woman's john at a Chick fil A. The child was awarded free food for the rest of his life.

Glad I'm Not In College

It was tough enough putting up with Bill Ayers, Weathermen, hippie protests of the 60's but what is happening in Athens, Ohio on the campus of Ohio University illustrates the stupidity of today's youth.

An Ohio bar is facing backlash after displaying a sign with a handwritten message that many have deemed offensive.

A photo of the sign, hanging on a wall at Broney’s Alumni Grill in Athens, went viral after an upset customer shared it on social media.

Lia Knox posted a picture of the sign on Facebook Friday, which reads: “If you’re looking for a safe space this ain’t it Cupcake.”

Young Lia is now calling for, what else, a boycott of the bar.

The American People Are More Than Ignorant

Golly there's a ton of nonsense going on in the world today. Take for instance a guy named John Brennan. He's the former head of the Central Intelligence Agency under Barack Hussein Obama. I wrote about him a week ago then came across another article from Real Clear Politics, not exactly a right wing site.

I wrote about Brennan a week ago but in a flip manner. Take heed.

Former communist, Obama operative and CIA Director John Brennan tweeted: "Donald Trump's press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of 'high crimes & misdemeanors.' It was nothing short of treasonous. Many of our citizenry are shouting about Trump in a treasonous manner. Brennan voted communist for 20 years yet he was appointed head of the CIA by Obama. What the hell are the American people thinking by not protesting in the streets. I have the answer. Right minded cons don't do this. The ones who do are antifa and the hordes of communist George Soros funded creeps in this country.

English Speaking America--Adios

Coat Hanger Abortions

Another conservative Supreme Court Justice means pulling out of the closet the mantra of coat hanger abortions(used by desperate women).

Not to say these killings of innocents but there has never been a documented cast when these type of abortions have taken place. I don't believe even Kermit Gosnell has done one.

The Lefts Reasons For Hating Trump

The economy is growing at rates that we have not seen in over a decade. Unemployment, especially minority joblessness, is at a historic low. Even The stock market is at record highs. The United States is now the world’s largest producer of oil, natural gas, and coal. Consumer and business confidence is at a near all-time high.

NATO is re-calibrating its military contributions to increase defense spending. North Korea has stopped talking about nuking ourWest Coast. The Iranian theocracy is panicking after the end of the Iran Deal. There have not been any incidents this year of Iranian hazing of U.S. ships. China is scrambling to find ways to readjust its lopsided trade surpluses induced by commercial cheating and dumping. Never has a Republican president appointed and had confirmed more conservative and stellar judges. The National Security team of Pompeo, Bolton, Mattis, and Haley is perhaps the most skilled since World War II.

Another Make-Up Story

I think it was about a year ago when I offered my insight on women and make-up. On my blog I wrote women, before they go on that first date with a guy should be required to wear no make-up. Question. How many 'normal heterosexual guys' do not put on glop when picking up the lady they're going to spend their hard earned cash on.

Once again I was way ahead of the game. Too bad the sap in the article didn't take my advice.

What I Wouldn't Give To Be A Mouse

“Wrinkled skin and hair loss are hallmarks of aging. What if they could be reversed?” asked researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham — who appear to have accomplished that feat, according to the research team

Kudos For Gary Sinise

Actor Gary Sinise has received another medal to honor his contributions to America’s service members.

Sinise, who starred in “Forrest Gump” and “CSI: N.Y.,”  received the American Spirit Award from the WWII Museum, joining honorees that included Arizona Sen. John McCain and Maurice R. “Hank” Greenberg, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Sinise had been honored last fall with the Army’s George Catlett Marshall Medal, the highest award a civilian can receive.

Sinise was honored for the work he does on behalf of service members, including the many trips his band, Lt. Dan, makes to entertain the military.

“I am so humbled to be here and deeply moved to receive this honor,” Sinise said, according to the Army. “I know where my freedom comes from, and I will not forget our defenders.”

MJ Hawkeye Announces The Best Presidents Of His Liftime

Websites, in my opinion, are gossip sites. They have to come up with outlandish headlines and stories to stay ahead of the competition. A few days ago when I was in Longville, Minnesota I saw a bait store and a sign above it read: 'The Very Best Bait And Tackle Shop In The Midwest'. Since the building was about the size of two phone booths stacked side by side I had my doubts.

The same thinking goes for websites. They're irrelevant. I wonder why they have to continually run stories about words uttered by Kathy Griffen, Chelsea Handler, Lena Denham, Whoopie and any and all folks who I know have less knowledge about life than I especially since I'm a member of the Check Out Generation and have had decades of experience.

MJ Hawkeye is going to present to you a list of the very best presidents in my lifetime 13 of them. How do I know I'm correct? Because I said so, that's why.

Number 1  Renaldus Magnus(Ronald Reagan). He along with Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II brought down the Soviet Union. He allowed Americans to feel good about themselves after the Carter years.

Number 2 Donald Trump. I shouldn't rank a guy in office and for such a short period of time at that but if Obama can win a Nobel Peace prize after only six months in office why not Trump? Besides my stock portfolio is off the charts.

Number 3 Harry Truman. Yeah, he was a Democrat but it was a different period. He was a no nonsense guy. I remember him saying, "Anybody who leaves office with more money than when they came in are crooks". I like that.

Number 4 Richard Nixon. Tricky Dick got caught up in his ego by okaying wiretapping of the Watergate motel. But, he did normalize relations with communist China. I don't recall the media going bonkers about dealing with a communist nation.

Number 5 Dwight Eisenhower.  Ike didn't create controversy. He did play a lot of golf and that's a good thing.

Number 6 George W. Bush. He handled the 9-11 crisis better than most could despite the efforts of the Democrats to make him look like a bumbling idiot. (But that is and has continued to be their modus operandi).

Number 7-8  George H. Bush, Gerald Ford.  Harmless

Number 9 John Kennedy. Young with great hair and a hot wife.

Number 10 Bill Clinton. Absolutely corrupt and still is. He and his wife are the Bonnie and Clyde of the 20th and 21st Century. Their crimes involve money and murder. Their is no way the number of murdered people close to them is accidental.

Number 11 Lyndon Johnson. Perpetuated one of the most unjust wars in the history of mankind for his own self-aggrandizement. Viet Nam was despicable.

Number 12 Jimmy Carter. It goes to show just because your a peanut farmer doesn't mean you know how to administer a nation. Gas rationing, wearing an extra sweater in winter to cut down on heating bills and allowing Americans to languish in Iranian custody for over a year shows no leadership.

Number 13 Barack Hussein Obama. No foreign policy and no domestic policy. Allowed the JV team(ISIS) to run rampant in the Middle East. He was and continues to be a plague upon this nation. A traitor to this country.

Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste

The Turtle Racing Capital Of The World

Every Wednesday in Longville, Minnesota located on the eastern side of Cass County, the City Father's close off Main Street to have what is called Turtle Days. Shutting down the main drag isn't that big of a chore since it's only 1 block long. A circle painted in green, about 30 feet in diameter, is painted on the pavement. In the center, also painted are the letters START. Kids from the surrounding lake areas, mostly vacationers, vie to have a turtle race to the outside of the circle to win a prize. The kids place their turtles on the START mark and when some dude yells 'Go' the animals race to the outside of the circle.

This sport has been going on in this community of 150 for 51 years and every time my grandchildren are at our lake home we drive over for the festivities. It's a 30 minute drive but the scenery is magnificent. Lakes on either side of County Road 5 make for an interesting sight.

I have to admit whoever named these lakes must have had other more important items on their agenda. Along the way you'll see Woman Lake, Boy Lake, Girl Lake, Child Lake. You get the picture.

Sometimes, when I see events I begin to ask questions. Take for instance the turtle races. There must be around 100 of these reptiles in a tub of water. There are heats, 15 kids at a time and a total of 100 signed up. At the end the winner of his or heat races for the championship. It seems to me this is a lot of physical pressure on Tudor the Turtle.
I'm mystified that PETA or some other humane society hasn't brought suit to stop this inhumanity toward our little shelled friends. Trust me when I write it'll happen some day. The only reason it's lasted this long is no one can find Longville.

My grandkids didn't want to do the racing thing. They love playing games to get prizes all of which had to be made in China. The games are simple in nature; a ring toss, throwing a bean bag in a hole, etc.

Every kid wins every time. If a kid is under 4 all they have to do get get a prize is be breathing. They don't even have to try.

I took three grandchildren; a girl 10, a boy age 7 and another girl age of 4. There are thousands of rinky dink prizes, mostly junk. It did my heart good to see the grandson grab water pistols, paper airplanes and plastic knives. The lasses went for wrist bands and small girlie purses.

My grandchildren are aware of their identity and that's a good thing. Makes a Grandpa proud.

Trump Vs. Putin

Evidently the liberal faction would have only been happy if Trump would have shot Vlad dead.

I saw two photos of Putin and Schumer today---together from 2016. In one Chuck was bowing to the Russian leader. In the other they both were chortling at each other while munching at Dunkin' Donuts.

Schumer missed his big chance. He could have cut him down dead or poisoned his apple fritter or both.

There must be some kind of parallel between these two guys and the relationship of FDR and Uncle Joe Stalin. I don't doubt Putin has had thousands murdered. This pales in comparison to the millions murdered by Stalin in the 30's and 40's. Yet, these two guys laughed together, smiled together and drank together.

I remember as a kid when Nikita Khrushchev made a visit to Iowa and the farm of his good buddy, farmer Roswell Garst who lived outside Jefferson.

Khrushchev was such a good guy we almost went to war with the Soviets during Kennedy's administration over Cuba.

I can't figure out why the Libs are so upset over a good relationship with Russia. No war--good thing. War--bad thing.

When Reagan was in office and went to Berlin he made a speech whose words will live forever, "Mr. Gorbchev, tear down this wall" and during George Bush's administration they did. At this period in history Libs loved the Soviets under Gorby. Reagan, not so much.

I wish liberals would make up their minds about whether or not the Russians are good or bad. All this hullabaloo leads me believe it might be about getting votes and taking back the congress.

A Little Bit About Slavery

Every so often a member of the Black community will bring up the subject of reparations; giving away money to Black Americans for our history of slavery. Other than it's absolutely a stupid idea I wonder how the give away would be ministered. Every person applying for funds would have to give a blood sample to determined what percentage of black blood was coursing through their body. Talk about problems.

Slavery, if you didn't know has been around for thousands of years. Two sides battle and to the winner go the spoils.

But the reparations crowd is only interested in the North American continent. First, we know the slaves were brought from Africa. But Whitey didn't set up shop on the shores of the Dark Continent. Other blacks did this for profit. It was the white traders, ships captains and their crew, who brought them to this side of the Atlantic.

Did you know, and I find this fascinating, only around 336,000 slaves were brought to this continent. Doomsayers will say 20 million died in the passage but I find this to be a magnificent exaggeration.

Think about this, please, while you contemplate the figure I just gave you. In history around 10.8 million blacks were shipped off to South America. That's a goodly number. I'm not privy to this information but I wonder the demand for reparations in the continent below us, Caribbean Islands included.

Hey gang, Barry's in Kenya for a big event; raising cash for his sister. You remember Kenya. It's the homeland of his dad and the country where every citizen has to do a #2 by digging a hole in the ground.

You'll recall in '09 when he and Biden were recently elected and made a trip to Toledo, Ohio. He told a guy who became famous as 'Joe the Plumber' that at some point we'd have to spread the wealth around. I.e. socialism if you will.

Anyway, after Mr. Chicago had moved on to Johannesburg, South Africa to received a Nelson Mandela he gave a speech announcing that the world needs a universal income. What the hell? We already have it in the U.S. It's called EBT cards. How many times is this community activist going to show his economic ignorance? There's an old saying, "If Socialists understood economics there wouldn't be socialism. However, we in the real world understand when Bomma makes these utterances. He's talking communism.

The screen was set by the man in the arm sleeves, and according to the account of the incident it wasn't even that bad — just an aggressive screen, which was a borderline foul in the first place. But the whiny dude got so upset he decided to call the cops.

The officer did not charge anyone and explained why he wasn’t doing anything over being called out to a gym after a dude had his feelings hurt.

It's Treason!

So I spent the last little while here watching the press conference with President Trump and Vladimir Putin.

And then I went onto Twitter and watched as media pundits, Democrats and dips*it Republican suck-ups erupted in unhinged hysterics

It was so damn over-the-top, I’m physically exhausted from it.

Trump committed TREASON!!!

Treason I tell you!!!

Why?

Well, first, he met with President Putin.

Which means Barack Obama committed treason too since he met with President Putin.

But never mind that! Trump committed treason!!!

The other treasonous thing Trump did was compliment President Putin in the press conference.

Which means Barack Obama committed treason too since he complimented President Putin in a press conference in 2009.

Who To Believe, Putin Or Clinton

Putin dropped a bomb and claimed US Intel helped American-born British financier, Bill Browder, move $400 million to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Vladimir Putin: Last year there was one extradition case by the United States… Mueller can use this treaty as an official request to us… in this case this kind of effort should be a reciprocal one… For instance we can bring up Mr. Browder…*** They sent a huge amount of money $400,000,000 to Hillary Clinton! …So we have solid reason to believe that some [US] intelligence offers accompanied and guided these transactions. So we have an interest in questioning them.

The #Walkaway Movement

Have you heard of the #walkaway movement?

This campaign was started recently by Brandon Straka, a gay New York hairstylist, who said in a viral YouTube video, “For years now, I have watched as the left has devolved into intolerant, inflexible, illogical, hateful, misguided, ill-informed, un-American, hypocritical, menacing, callous, ignorant, narrow-minded, and at times, blatantly fascistic behavior and rhetoric.”

Straka is encouraging others to tell their stories of how they have lost faith in the Democratic Party and why they are ready to “walk away” from its policies that are seen to encourage division and anger. (Think Rep. Maxine Waters, and her call for Democrats to harass representatives of the Trump administration in public.)

At www.walkawaycampaign.com, Straka writes of his frustration with identity politics, and encourages unity rather than division: “This is a movement of patriots from all walks of life — men, women, black, brown, white, straight, LGBTQ, religious, and non-believers — who share something very important in common. We are all Americans — and we will not surrender our country.”

I Knew He Had To Be From India

An Indian man with the longest fingernails ever recorded has finally chopped them off - after 66 years - and now they will be displayed in a museum. 

Shridhar Chillal's fingernails were nearly the same length as a bus when he finally got them trimmed after more than six decades of cultivating his huge talons.

The 82-year-old from Pune, India, had been growing his lengthy nails since he was 16 years old and holds the Guinness World Record for the longest fingernails on one hand.

Chillal was first inspired to grow out the nails on his left hand in 1952 after a teacher beat him for accidentally breaking one of his very long nails. From that day on, he vowed never to cut his own talons.

Did You Hear The News? Hillary Lost The Election

Everyone knows by now Hillary has blamed everyone and everything for the reasons of her loss to Trump. It ranges from the hatred of Tibetan monks to diseases brought on by frogs and toads that addled people's brains.

One aspect of her defeat she hasn't mentioned and never will is Black voters gave 12% less of the voted than they did Obama. What this means they hate Hillary or could it be they were sick of the Obama policies which did nothing for them and they knew Hillary would continue the same pattern.

I can imagine giving a speech in which she denounces these specific Blacks as deplorables. Actually I cant.

Minor League Baseball Team Sponsors Millennial Appreciation Night

Minor league baseball teams are experts at putting on theme nights to draw attention.

But the Montgomery Biscuits, the Double-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, advertised one on Wednesday that is drawing special attention.

The Biscuits are holding “Millennial Night,” complete with “brilliant” references to stereotypes about millennials. They want free stuff because they’re entitled and lazy. They want ribbons just for participating in something. They spend their money on stupid things like avocado toast. Essentially, it’s every article a baby boomer has ever written about millennials, but instead of an article it’s an entire minor-league theme night.

And The Left Screams Out, "Save The Chidren"

The hypocrisy is astonishing, the level of ignorance and self-delusion mind-boggling, the cognitive dissonance textbook.

Protesters march, chanting, "Hey, hey, hey, NRA, how many kids have you killed today?"  Immigration activists block a bus carrying the children of "immigrants" to a holding facility and roar, "Set the babies free!"

These are likely the same people who champion the separation of children from their mothers' wombs by means of the vacuum hose, the scalpel, or drugs.

Her Majesty left for the Minnesota lake home around May 25. Yours truly hung around Dublin, Ohio to take in the Memorial golf tournament in Dublin, Ohio which ended in early June.

It was my responsibility to stop the mail one day before I left. Our cable provider in Minnesota is TDS and I received an envelope in late May, after Her Majesty had hit the road. Since I don't pay the bills I looked at the return address and thought it must, the letters, stand for Teeth Deficiency Syndrome or something like that. Anyway, our cable at the lake was cut four days ago. Tomorrow, the 11th, or is it the 12th, our cable man, is coming to our lake home and hook us up. My bad.

Stay Out Of Connecticut

A Connecticut man who was assaulted by three juveniles while at work has been sentenced to prison for stabbing one of the attackers.

The Connecticut Post reports 21-year-old Jeffrey Sumpter of Bridgeport received 18 months in jail Monday at a Stamford courthouse.

The paper reported that Sumpter — who was convicted of felony first-degree assault — also will have to spend three years following his release on probation. If he breaks the law during that time, Sumpter could be made to serve all or part of a 42-month prison sentence.

Sumpter was working at a Dunkin’ Donuts in Norwalk last October when he was jumped by three males. During the assault, Sumpter stabbed one of them in the leg.

“I was defending myself,” Sumpter said during the hearing.

Judge John Blawie told Sumpter that he believed his version of events, but had to follow the letter of the law.

Under Connecticut law, assault victims cannot use deadly force if they are able to retreat from their attackers.
