"Cheat, Cheat, Cheaters"

 Let's face it. Cheating is a way of life. It happens on a daily basis in all forms. As a high school lad in the 1960's there was sign hanging over the coaches room office reading: 'Cheaters Never Win And Winners Never Cheat'. It sounded good at the time but reality bites, doesn't it. Take a look around and tell me cheating doesn't happen. Ever heard of Enron? And that's the tip of the iceberg.

I never cheated in high school in my studies. If I happened to get an A or B in a subject my cover would have been blown so I went with the flow but cheating comes in all forms.

As a second year high school baseball coach in 1969 my team was playing a game at Rembrant High School. We loaded the bases. the 3rd baseman was playing ten feet behind the bag so I had our batter bunt home a run. You'd think their coach would move the player in a bit but he didn't so we bunted successfully again and then a third time. From their dugout I heard their coach yell, "Cheat, cheat, cheaters." I laughed. Her Majestey who was then my betrothed laughed which was funny because she knew nothing about baseball. 

When I was in college at Coe and taking a methods of something or other class from the Phy Ed Department one of the guys thought he could get a copy of the test prior to the exam. Well, we're siting in the class not knowing if it was the correct test or not when all of a sudden the thief of the test in a muffled, gutteral tone yells out, "Same". Not once but twice. It was like something out of the movie, Animal House, but happened ten years priot to its release.

There's a scandal brewing at the United States Military Academy over cheating on a math exam. It might even be calculus which is important with my final analysis.

Seventy cadets have been accused and twenty-four of them are on the Black Knights football team. Take note the squad is having an incredible season and tops it off this New Year's Eve with a bowl game.

When in doubt about information always go to an expert source about the Army and cheating so I called my high school buddy this morning to get his take on the perceived scandal. He's a graduate of the United States Military Academy so he knows of what he speaks. I asked him what would have happened to he or his buddies if caught cheating in 1966 and he responded with, "We'd have been bounced out of school." This occurred in a cheating scandal in 1976.

But, today he said, the guys will most likely get a slap in the hand. He didn't say this but I'm thinking a lot of this has to do with online exams during the pandemic and the culture of participation trophies.

So, what should be the punishment in 2021? I've come up with what I believe would be appropriate based on the subjects in which the cheating happened. Let's say the test was in calculus. Heck, I'd give these guys a medal for creativity and a week-end pass to a whorehouse. Cheating in calc is something I'd do. I don't even know what calculus is or what it does but it sounds like something Euclid or some other Greek dufus devised. Now, let's say a guy cheats in Military Science. That's important at the Army. I mean, let's say you have a group of guys at Bastogne. Wouldn't it be nice to know what Gen. MacAuliffe said and why?

Finally, and this requires the most severe punishment. If the Cadets cheated on a 'Methods of Ankle Taping' then I believe they should be subjected to having their nut sack sliced open. Never, ever cheat in a physical education exam. Marie Antoinette did and look what happened to her.

Sometimes I amaze myself at the solutions I have to offer society.

Happy New Year everyone.

'Not Mary Ann. Say It Isn't So'

 

Actress Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on the popular 1960s sitcom “Gilligan’s Island,” has died at the age of 82. Her publicist announced her death to several media outlets and said it resulted from causes related to COVID-19.

Wells represented Nevada in the 1959 Miss America pageant, and made appearances in other TV series before being cast in “Gilligan’s Island” in 1964.

Say 'Hi' To Our National Teacher Of The Year

 

I think it would be better than nice to be awarded the honor of national teacher of the year as was Rodney Robinson from Virginia in 2019. This honor could open many doors; one of them being accorded national fame. Why, it might ever get you an invite to the White House as was done to Mr. Robinson. Then he had to screw it up with this tweet from yesterday: What happened to Rand Paul( a severe beating by his neighbor that almost left him dead) should happen to Mitch McConnell.

Robinson did what all dinks do, He deleted the tweet. I wonder how many of these tweets came about because the tweeter was drunk. Anyway, said teacher of the year said it was only a joke. End of story.

Duties Of The Sec. Of Agriculture

 Tom Vilsack has been Sec. of Agriculture in the new Biden administration if he can steal it. Tommy boy is a former governor from Iowa.

It makes sense a fella from Iowa should receive an appointment being that we're hayseed kicks with a piece of straw hanging out of our mouths. Did you know a farmer from Iowa can whistle at a pretty girl with straw in his mouth at the same time. Shucks, Iowa farmers can do anything as long as straw, corn, manure and pigs are involved.

Tom Vilsack held the same office under Obama has he has been asked to do again. Forget his experience on farms. It's same as mine as a gynecologist. 

Visack resigned his position under Obama and I give him credit for his honesty. He stated, " I was so bored in this position because there was nothing to do."

Living In The Age Of Caligula

 "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was the age of wisdom. It was the age of foolishness."

It doesn't matter if we're talking about the age of Charles Dickens or that of COVID-19. Dickens could have written his masterpiece in any century; most certainly in our age of near socialim.

I began to think about the Roman Emperor, Caligula while driving this morning. He was only in office for four years. This is probabley due to having sex with the wives of his soldiers, killing enemies, friend and foe alike and without compunction. I doubt he had sex with a horse but who knows. As we said back in the '60's, "When it comes sex, can you dig it?" That was Caligula in the 1st century AD.

As I motored further it hit me, Caligula lives today in one form or another. As youngsters we start off innocently enough: "Mom, where do babies come from?" Mom's answer: "From Walmart." As we grow older the truths are exposed but incremently. When I was around 16 in 1962 I was at the home of a friend. His mother was bemoaning the lack of morals in the country. We were in their kitchen and she said, "When I was a girl we wanted to play with dolls. Now girls want a real baby of their own." We laughed. It must have made an impact because here we are in the tail end of 2020 and she was right except there's one problem. The girls might want a baby but there's not a problem with killing it, either. In 1962 we didn't see that coming. We should have paid attention to the time of Caligula. 

I watched a sickening video today. A group of Planned Parenthood women had planted hundreds and flags in a field to denote aborted babies. They then ran through the field and aroun the flags singing about baby parts being put in the ground.

Yes, 2020 hasn't been all that special. For awhile I pretended it didn't bother me that much since as an older guy I only sat around; couldn't go out night clubbing or run a mile on a whim, Upon further consideration I was strongly wrong. As an example, and you know this from reading me, I'm forever looking for cool places to live or visit. I've never been to Bristol Tennessee/Virginia. Evidently the state line runs smack dab down Main Street separating not only the two towns but the two states. A few months ago, on a whim, I decided to motor on down. The first item on my agenda was to call a local golf course for a tee time. "You can't come here," said the golf pro. "Visitors from other states aren't allowed due to Coronavirus."

2020 is so agonizing to the non-woke crowd that the City of Boston removed a statue of Abraham Lincoln two days ago. The reason given is that Mr. Lincoln, the guy responsible for freeing slaves, was white.

Her Majesty suggested, last November, I make a trip to Illinois and Iowa to see friends and I did. A week after I returned to Ohio I read I'd broken the law. Ohio folks weren't allowed in Illinois. The same went for Iowa. Then, I broke the law again when I drove back into Ohio. I was so distraught I went to confession then turned myself into law authorities. I didn't really but you knew this already.

I have watched every Chirstmas Hallmark movie so many times I'm sick of them. Seriously, Me, Hallmark, sick of them. The world has come to an end. I peruse the televison channels daily. If one goes to ABC, NBC, CBS for their week night presentations you'll ask yourself how these programs survive. Then, I considered who watches them. They're the same ones who vote.

I have become so bored I've briefly considered watching Pornhub. Only briefly, though.

On my Smartphone I've signed up for Tubi TV. It's free and there are a slug of movies. Some not worth watching, others are. Try some on for size. A couple of them might fit your lifestyle.

So. back to Caligula. How would he fare in 2021? It appears to me he could be elected president. Don't believe me? Take a look at what's in D.C. The only thng missing with these people are Caligula's horse.

For Sports Fans Only

 If you follow this blog you know that my life has been greatly influenced by my early heroes; sports heroes.

My biggest thrill, at age 11, was to shake Hank Aaron's hand. I was shaking so much when I put out my miniscule paw I almost missed his hand.

The Queen always spends Sunday morning priot to New Year's watching CBS Sunday Morning. The now hostess, Jane Pauley(she never ages) will give a rundown with photos of celebrities who have gone on to their eternal reward. I'm not not way but when I came across a combined list of fellas who forced me to buy cards with the gum inside at a kid I was sadly shocked.

Al Kaline, Tom Seaver, Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, Whitey Ford, Joe Morgan, Phil Niekro died in 2020. Football lost a big piece of its heart: Don Shula, Gale Sayers, Paul Hornung, Bobby Mitchell. Last week, K.C. Jones a former player of the Boston Celtics passed away. Jones, along with fellow teammates Bill Russell, John Havlicek, Sam Jones, 'Jungle Jim' Luscatoff and 'Tommy Gun' Heinsohn were Sunday noon stapes for this lad. It was the same ritual every Sunday. I'd go to Dick Musser's house after Mass. His wonderful mother had a lunch of roast beef, mashed potatos and gravy and peas every-single-Sunday during the basketball season. 

We'd eat while watching the Celtics. Brother's, Chuck and Bob, six years older than us joined in. They, too, were wonderful high school basketball players. They were my heroes. Believe it or not they still are in my mind and heart.

Memories linger, don't they?

Your FBI At Work

According to the New York Post the girlfriend of the Nashville bomber called the local Nashville police department informing them the perp was making bombs in his basement.

The police then forwarded then information of the FBI and ATF. The junior J. Edgar Hoover boys then went to the home of the bomber. They knocked on the door. Nobody answered. They left.

"Where's The Proof"

 With time running short on Trump's quest to stay in the White House I keep looking and listening to those 'righties' who keep up the fight. Every day in every way I hear about and read more facts as to the improbability of Joe being the actual winner. But, from the Left it's a constant slap down. All I hear from them is 'Where's the proof'? My answer is it's right in front of your eyes and ears. 

For your consumption I've included a short list of items for you to peruse. It's not plausible that this guy who couldn't get more than fifty to a rally could win the election.

 (Here’s just a short list of reasons he won. 

The Mind Says 'Yes'. The Body Says 'No'

 Her Majesty and I were have a pre-Christmas Eve conversation about something about which I'm passionate; the stealing of the election. There's going to be a rally in D.C. on January 6 and I very much wanted to be a part of it. I'm only guessing at the number of attendees but from reports it will be the largest gathering of citizens in American history.

Getting to our Capitol is not a problem. It's a six hour jaunt to Rockville, Maryland from Dublin, Ohio across the eastern continental divide. Rockville is the end point of the train going into the City. I figured I could get a hotel unless the price is outrageous which I suspect will be the case. In that event I'd drive to the train station, put down the back seats of my Suburu SUV, pull out the trusty sleeping bag, then nod off. I know the price of parking in the lot for a day is a heck of a lot cheaper than shelling out a couple hundo to have a pillow and mattress.

From Rockville to downtown. D.C. it's a one and a half hour jaunt. Ten years ago the Queen and I were in the town for our anniversary(Dec. 27) I was peparing for a hip replacement and didn't feel much like touring. Her Highness did so I sat on the train all day and people watched. The only thing missing was wine in a bag. It, the sitting, didn't bother me because one sees the most interesting of folks. They can fill a blog post twenty times over.

Anyway, I was so very excited about being a part of history, unjustifiable history, but history in the making. I could see myself walking enmasse with other citizens from around the country chanting, "Stop The Steal". Chills of excitement ran through my body as I told my wife how wonderful it was going to be.

And then, out of nowhere, that feeling left my mind and my brain took over. I will be, in twenty some days, 75 years old. I know of people who were long dead by this age. I imagined myself getting off the subway and riding the escalator to the top trying to catch my breath. If the crowd is immense I'd have to saunter left and right to make my way through to where I don't know. Can you only imagine the calf cramps I'd have to endure?

When I finally reached my destination to listen to the speakers I'll be forced to stand--------for hours. There'll be no sitting down, no leaning against a mailbox or light pole----no nothing.

The worst part, and I know this from past experience from when we visited with our Arizona friends, bathrooms will be limited unless I dress up in a Deputy Dawg costume and hit a fire hydrant.

It gets worse. When a guy is over 70(close your eyes if you don't want to continue) one never knows when or where the bowel decides to explode. Trust me on this one. I'm an expert. Depends reads thusly: dedicated to MJ Hawkeye.

So, in the final analysis, I decided it'd be best if I stayed on the couch, look at Newsmax TV and be ten feet from the biffy. 

Sometimes I surprise myself with my maturity.

This From The Brit Who Developed The COVID Model

Professor Neil Ferguson, an epidemiologist who played a key role in convincing the British government to adopt lockdowns, revealed that the country’s lockdowns were meant to emulate those carried out by the Chinese Communist Party – modeled to strip civil liberties and exert authoritarian control over citizens. https://thenationalpulse.com/politics/chinese-pandemic-lockdown-model/

Ferguson is the guy who said 2.6 million Americans would die. This is what happens when the herd believes this clown, Birx and Fauci.

What's Wrong With This Picture

Thought Of The Day For Normal People

 

Conspiracy Theories Are The Backbone Of America

 

AT&T got a contract to do forensic audit on Dominion voting machines and those machines were being moved to Nashville this past week.

The former owner of the AT&T building in Nashville, William Kennard, is a board member for Cerberus Capital Management and AT&T.... He also was Bill Clinton’s FCC chair, and Obama’s Ambassador to the EU.

Dominion voting is owned by Cerberus Capital Management.... Cerberus is run by Staple Street Execs. Joe Bidens Brother in Law, Steven Owens, is the cofounder of Staple Street Execs along with William Kennard (mentioned above).

Super Computer in TN was connected to the AT&T internet in NASHVILLE.... yesterday evening the Cumberland river cooling system was compromised due to internet outage and Supercomputer fried.....

If you don’t know, “Kraken” is a reference to a supercomputer former prosecuter, Sidney Powell, has been talking about.

So, the explosion “just happened” to be at the AT&T location where they “just so happen” to control the cooling system for the super computer and house the dominion voting machines and drives for forensic audit...

Does it make sense now why no lives were lost? Does it make sense now why the FBI task lead couldn’t even put together a coherent sentence in the press conference yesterday? Does it make sense why the mayor was making light of the situation, almost laughing yesterday?

When To Know You're Screwed

 

The coronavirus is being blamed by New Jersey motor vehicle officials for not meeting the state’s deadline to provide a process by Jan. 1, 2021 for undocumented people to obtain a driver’s license.

One More Reason To Detest The Chinese

 Yulin is a city in southwest China. Every year they have a massive festival yet it's one unlike one you'll see in this country or any other.

It's a dog festival and they celebrate the slaughter of dogs for consumption. Eating dogs in China isn't limited to Yulin only. The entire nation happen to be dog conneuisers to the tune of 14 million per year. They go easier on cats. Only up to ten million hit the dinner table.

Pathic people, huh?

How Society Created A Moral Monster

 The New York Times has a story about a young man, Jimmy Galligan, who is an example of the kind of moral monsters this culture of ours has created. 

His mother is black, his father white. He went to high school in Leesburg, Va. Four years ago, a girl in his class, Mimi Groves(ae 15), used an antiblack racial slur in a Snapchat video lasting three seconds, and sent privately to a friend. Somebody showed him the clip. He saved it, and waited for his chance.

Mr. Galligan had not seen the video before receiving it last school year, when he and Ms. Groves were seniors. By then, she was a varsity cheer captain who dreamed of attending the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, whose cheer team was the reigning national champion. When she made the team in May, her parents celebrated with a cake and orange balloons, the university’s official color.

The next month, as protests were sweeping the nation after the police killing of George Floyd, Ms. Groves, in a public Instagram post, urged people to “protest, donate, sign a petition, rally, do something” in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

You might think that Galligan would rejoice in the fact that his classmate, who as a freshman had used a racial slur, had changed, had matured, had become more sensitive. Nope. More:

“You have the audacity to post this, after saying the N-word,” responded someone whom Ms. Groves said she did not know.

Her alarm at the stranger’s comment turned to panic as friends began calling, directing her to the source of a brewing social media furor. Mr. Galligan, who had waited until Ms. Groves had chosen a college, had publicly posted the video that afternoon. Within hours, it had been shared to Snapchat, TikTok and Twitter, where furious calls mounted for the University of Tennessee to revoke its admission offer.

The university forced Mimi Groves’s parents to withdraw her. She now lives at home with them and attends a community college. 

Stuck On Stupid

 

NPR's Song Of The Year

 Taylor Swift should be embarrassed and angry. Why? Because she lost out on song of the year. Consider for a moment great female singers and groups. Motown had a slew of Black performers who were top notch. The Supremes had to top the list. Aretha Franklin was pretty good as was Whitney Houston. Those two might possibly be rolling over in their graves with NPR's announcement of the top song for 2020. 

National Public Radio (NPR), which is subsidized by American taxpayers, listed Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s raunchy hit song “WAP” (“Wet Ass Pussy”) as one of the “best” songs of 2020, including it in part of its “silver linings playlist” released this month.https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2020/12/24/npr-lists-cardi-bs-wet-ass-puy-as-best-song-of-2020/

This is what happens when BLM is the focus of all evil in this country.

How To Get The Girl

 Now that Christmas is concluded I've learned much from watching the Christmas movies about how a guy can get the girl. Forget the old tale about 'the guy chases a girl until she catches him'. These are bona fide 100% methods. Trust me when I say they work.

Off the cuff I'd say a fella should forget about expensive sweaters or jewelry. A better more appreciated present would be a Christmas tree ornament. Better yet, tell her it's been in the family for generations even if this is a lie. If she's with you on Christmas Eve put it in a box, wrap it and hand it to her. Caution: make certain you take the Dollar Store tag off it.

Trim the tree and ask her to help. While doing so let her know Christmas is your very favorite time of year. When she isn't looking dab moisture on your cheek from a wet Kleenex as if you have a tear. After this walk over to your desk where you keep the snow globe. Ask her to turn it over. They love this.

Ask Miss Wonderful if she'd like some cocoa. If she responds with, "Do you have whipped cream to go with it" you're in like Flynn.

Don't have a puppy? Rent one. Girls are crazy about guys who have a dog. No other pet will work. Cats, lizards, turtles, gold fish; fughetabout it!

If a guy finds a quiet moment tell her about your favorite memories growing up. Make sure you include the stocking filled with a family picture. Then, quietly get up from the couch, open a dresser drawer and pull out said picture. Trust me when I write her heart will race with joy.

Bake cookies. don't let her see you in the process. Buy them ahead of time at Kroger's then tell her it's your favorite thing to do at this joyous time of year.

Remember: Never tip your hand. Let her make the first move. Play hard to get. Let her come in for the kiss.

It's no wonder I was such a klutz with the fairer sex as a young man. All I had to go with was Gene Autrey singing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and The Chimpmunk song. Our movies centered around Charles Dickens Christmas Story. Ghosts weren't all that romantic in our world. We only had one other recourse; give her three glasses of wine.

The Pressure Is On Mike Pence

 On January 6, a joint session of Congress will open with Vice President Pence presiding as president of the Senate.  His power will be plenary and unappealable.  You heard that right.  As president of the Senate, every objection comes directly to him, and he can rule any objection "out of order" or "denied."  His task will be to fulfill his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and to ensure that the laws be faithfully executed.  This is a high standard of performance, and V.P. Pence will have two choices.  He can roll over on "certified" electors, or he can uphold the law.

Pandering To The Public

 "Our Kwanzaa celebrations are one of my favorite childhood memories. The whole family would gather around across multiple generations and we’d tell stories and light the candles.

Whether you’re celebrating this year with those you live with or over Zoom, happy Kwanzaa!"

Kamala The Liar

Why do politicians think they have to pander to the public? Do the believe Blacks across the country believe their lies or even care? For those who don't know the founder of Kwanzaa was a felon and a communist.

The Seven Principles Of Kwanzaa( But where are the hell are the gifts).

1. Umoja (unity): commemorates togetherness not only in family, friend and community groups but in the world African population
2. Kujichagulia (self-determination): honors the ability to define, create and speak for the self
3. Ujima (collective work and responsibility): focuses on communal problem-solving and consensus-building
4. Ujamaa (cooperative economics): spotlights sharing work and wealth and following non-exploitative business practices that benefit the whole community
5. Nia (purpose): a commitment to upholding black history and heritage and regaining prominence as a culture
6. Kuumba (creativity): explores the obligation to beautify the community for future generations
7. Imani (faith): focuses on being positive and believing in the potential of the self and the community as a whole

Upon Further Review Minnesota Lied

 Two Minnesota state lawmakers are calling for an audit of death certificates that were attributed to the coronavirus, saying COVID-19 deaths could have been inflated by 40%.

State Rep. Mary Franson and state Sen. Scott Jensen released a video last week revealing that after reviewing thousands of death certificates in the state, 40% did not have COVID-19 as the underlying cause of death.https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/coronavirus-death-certificates-minnesota-inflated

Murder In 2020

 An 82-year-old COVID patient was beaten to death by his 37-year-old hospital roommate for praying.  If you thought this might have occurred in California you'd be correct. The younger man used an oxygen tank to beat his elderly roommate to death. No doubt, local authorities and the CDC will list this as a COVID death.https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/12/82-year-old-covid-patient-beat-death-oxygen-tank-37-year-old-roommate-praying/

Einstein Was Right

 Albert Einstein is famous for many witticisms. One of his best is a definition of insanity; "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." I'm the king of this when it comes to mastering golf.

Anyway, in Belfast Northern Ireland they have, as of today, gone into a three week total lockdown to thwart the effects of the virus. I hope this one works. It'll be the third one.

Closer to home I watched the TV classic A Christmas Story last evening. One would have to try and miss it since on 24/7 on TNT. The home shown in the film is still located in 'The Mistake By The Lake' Cleveland, Ohio. One can take a tour and across the street is their gift shop. One can purchase a leg lamp, too. Why not buy one and send it to someone you detest.

The film, 'It's A Wonderful Life' was released in 1946 and was a financial bomb. To me this is mindboggling. I'd have gone if only to look at Donna Reed. Anyway, in 1973 TBS put it on as a filler for the Christmas season and it took off. And since then is now a staple of the season.

"Country Is Doomed. Whites Will Be Minority By 2040"

After reading the title of this piece you had to ask yourself "what racist Republican stated it?". Was it the cop who did a number on George Floyd? How about Donald Trump? He'd be a prime candidate. No, it has to be an ignorant boob; someone who is so clueless he can't spell clue. Are you starting to get the picture?

Yes, it took place in a Zoom call with Joe Biden leading the charge. If you don't believe me watch and listen to the dufus do his thing.https://iotwreport.com/joe-biden-country-is-doomed-because-whites-will-be-the-minority-by-2040/

Great Quotes In History

 Every so often there will be an article regarding individuals who were prolific with their words of wisdom; words so powerful they've stood the test of time. Confucius comes to mind as does Mark Twain, Will Rogers and Winston Churchill.

Most of you know by now there was a devastating explosian in Nashville, Tenn. this morning. The FBI has been called in and has already stated it was an intentional act.

The mayor of Nashville, John Cooper(D of course) toured the area and when asked by the media about his first thoughts he stated: "It looks like a bomb went off." And then he chuckled. Wow! Somebody tell McGraw-Hill to stop the presses. History books need an update.

The Grinch Who Tried To Steal Christmas

 President-elect Joe Biden's pick to lead the Department of Agriculture tried to put a tax on Christmas trees the last time he was in charge of the agency.

Tom Vilsack (D.), a former Iowa governor who was agriculture secretary when Biden was vice president, implemented a 15-cent tax on each live Christmas tree in the United States in 2011. His attempt ultimately fell short: Facing widespread criticism, the Obama administration paused the tax just one day after it went into effect and abandoned it altogether the following week.https://freebeacon.com/democrats/war-on-christmas-bidens-ag-sec-once-tried-to-tax-christmas-trees/

Thank God For Donald Trump

 

And The Winner Is--------------------------------

 Her Majesty and I took Charlie on a ride last night to see the Amish Christmas home lighting contest.

The winning family were the Miller's.

Thanks to Iowa Hawk for the idea.

Merry Christmas From Andy Panda

 His commute was total panda-monium.

A man was caught on camera rollerblading naked down an eight-lane Columbus Ohio highway — wearing only a giant plush panda head.

The roller-streaker was seen zipping at a remarkably high speed while clutching a golf club on I-670 in Columbus Tuesday — irking drivers who honked and gawked. 

“This dude’s on the freeway naked!” one stunned motorist can be heard saying as he shoots wild footage of the incident.

When the driver honks, the birthday-suited blader moves to the shoulder of the highway to let his car pass, the now-viral video shows.https://nypost.com/2020/12/18/naked-man-rollerblades-on-ohio-highway-wearing-panda-head/?utm_medium=SocialFlow&sr_share=facebook&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPFacebook&fbclid=IwAR3Ostdl3hNmqPbZQ_JquCsbzKtsaVMmH3sWGRjOn37cXLJWZd1AtwV8K7U

From a personal standpoint I drive this portion of this interstate frequently. Interestingly, the naked skater allowed himself to be interviewed on our 50,000 watt radio station WTVN. I was so fascinated by the guy I was going to listen but then right when he came on I pulled my Suburu into the garage and shut down the radio.

And Nancy(And The Other Grifters) Wanted To Give Us $600

 

I should live in Venezuela. Some of the corrupt money might have found it's way into that communist regime. Actually, the Sudan made out like bandits. Know why? Because they are.

Merry Christmas To All

 For many years I've had readers request I insert a photo of myself to better get a handle on what they're reading. Today I've decided to honor their request and it's appropriate to do so during this joyous season.

To begin I'm not one for sugar in my system. It gives me the jitter willies. Oh, it's not that I can't eat a piece of candy. It's that I consume an entire bag of candy or whatever reads 100% glucose on the outside of the wrapper.

Three months ago I'd gotten off the sugar kick. Gosh, I felt excellent especially when I awakened in the morning. I was loaded with energy and then started hearing this wonderful comment, "Have you lost weight?" That'll put a smile on anyones lips.

Something happened three weeks ago. I was in Kroger Food Store and walked by the cake area. I'm a sucker for red velvet cakes and cookies so I bought a couple of each. The cookies were gone(in my gut) two hours after I got home. I sucked down the first cookie as we left the Kroger parking lot. Charlie was all over me trying to get the crumbs but I fended him off. I avoided the cake until almost bedtime. I was surprised I left half of it for the next day. I considered this a minor miracle.

And then it began. Every day I'd come up with a ruse to drive to Kroger. "Queenie," I'd say, "Do we need anything at the store?" And every day there was something new in my cart. The same way everything bad is Trump's fault Kroger gets the blame for my sugar fetish. It's their fault a container of chocolate chip cookies from the bakery were selling at two for one. The same went for the red velvet items.

Well, four days ago I'd had enough. I even considered throwing cookies in the garbage immediately before I told myself 'I'll have just one'. And I did. I swore off any morsel with the slightest hint of sugar and it worked for one day.

Two days ago my dear sweet cousin from Storm Lake, Iowa sent a box, a Christmas box, in the mail to our home. I opened and there they were-----all 36 or was it 48 of Cheryl's finest cookies. The reason I'm not certain about the exact count is I immediately tore into each individually wrapped cookie with more frosting on each than even the King of Mongolia could expect. I only devoured twelve the first day but I spead them out; four at lunch, four after dinner, four before bedtime. Those last ones are what make alcoholics look and feel like they've been run over by a speeding train when they awaken in the morning; bloodshot eyes, the urge to puke, the whole nine yards.

Yesterday, and this gave me courage to succeed, only five went down the gullet but I spread them out. Talk about feeling like Superman!

Today, Christmas Eve, is a new opportunity to get back on track. I promised you a photo. I took it this morning. Wish me well.

Fun Fact Of The Day

 A record 621 people died of drug overdoses in San Francisco so far this year, a staggering number that far outpaces the 173 deaths from COVID-19 the city has seen thus far.

Do You See The Horns Growing Out Of His Head

 

The Vatican in the past has publicly denounced abortions but it looks like things have changed.

A letter from the Vatican has just announced they approve the killing of unborn babies as long as they are used for a new COVID-19 Vaccine.

For me it makes it very difficult to be Catholic these days. I have to keep remembering the founder of my faith was Jesus Christ Himself and not some dunderhead from a socialist country.

Do You Remember When Toys Were Toys

 I received an email from my buddy in Oklahoma this morning. His grandkids from Canada are coming to their house for Christmas and their parents bought them some kind of game costing $500-$600. Then I recalled reading an article from Saturday Evening Post about the best toys for kids from 1900-1978. The difference is we made them function and they were inexpensive.

These toys from a specialist in toys(didn't know they had such a thing) brought back many memories; some that I had for myself and others about when we gave them to children. Like little Ralphie I ever received a Rd Ryder bb gun.

Where Are Peter, Paul And Mary When You Need Them

 What exactly is wrong with writing and singing a protest song calling for more freedom?

Plenty, apparently, if your names are Van Morrison and Eric Clapton. Their anti-lockdown song “Stand and Deliver” — which Morrison wrote and Clapton performs — has attracted so much bile and outrage from the radical left you’d think they’d just performed a benefit gig for the Ku Klux Klan.

Here is a sample of the song’s lyrics:

Do you wanna be a free man
Or do you wanna be a slave?
Do you wanna be a free man
Or do you wanna be a slave?
Do you wanna wear these chains
Until you’re lying in the grave?

I don’t wanna be a pauper
And I don’t wanna be a prince
I don’t wanna be a pauper
And I don’t wanna be a prince
I just wanna do my job
Playing the blues for friends.

Big Brother Is Coming For You

 According to Michigan State Senator Tom Barrett, an individual approached Charlie’s Bar and Grill in Potterville, saying he was “really lonely and asked if he could have something to eat."

The restaurateur “felt bad for the man and served him a meal,” Barrett said.

He said the owner thought nothing of helping someone in need. But, according to Barrett, it was not simply a man down on his luck, but rather an agent of the Liquor Control Commission was who was apparently attempting to entrap the business owner.

A few days later, the liquor license of Charlie’s Bar and Grill was suspended after allegedly violating Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D-MI) lockdown orders.

“Nobody in the Liquor Control Enforcement Division is missing a paycheck right now, wondering how they’ll get through Christmas,” Barrett noted, unlike many business owners and employees affected by the mandates.https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/12/22/state-senator-michigan-agent-gave-sob-story-to-restaurant-owner-for-meal-then-it-was-busted-violation/

BLM Wishes West Allis Wisconsin Merry Christmas

 The people in West Allis, Wisconsin have a lovely holiday tradition.

They have a neighborhood they’ve dubbed “Candy Cane Lane” from just after Thanksgiving to just after Christmas. Everyone decorates up a storm so it’s quite the sight to see, people come from all around just to visit.

But it’s not just the decorations. Visitors are encouraged to donate to childhood cancer research and blood diseases as they drive through the area, for Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer (MACC). They raised $121,000 last year and have raised almost a few million since they started in 1984.

So you would think that’s the last thing that anyone would want to disrupt.

But then the Black Lives Matter group has a different view of the world.

Members of the “People’s Revolution,” a BLM group, showed up at the event on Friday night.

They chanted “Black lives matter!” “No justice! No peace!” “Whose lane? Our lane!” “Whose streets? Our streets!” One of their members on a livestream said they were “as loud as can be. Waking up each block with holiday cheer, screaming “NOJUSTICE, NO PEACE”, until all around hear” and that they were “giving the gifts of our demands for Black and Brown lives.”

Seriously? Who thinks this is a good idea to do this, not only just to a Christmas event for kids but a cancer charity no less?https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2020/12/21/watch-blm-crash-and-disrupt-a-christmas-cancer-fundraiser-for-kids-n298268

What's Twitter?

 The president’s Twitter account and the account for his campaign, @TeamTrump, have been censored, suppressed, and limited 543 times since May 31, 2018. Since Dec. 14, both accounts have received 57 more labels. Former Vice President Joe Biden and his campaign, @TeamJoe, have not been censored at all. https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/techwatch/heather-moon/2020/12/21/twitter-censors-trump-and-campaign-543-times-never-biden

So Angry I Could Spit Bullets

 Never, ever go to bed then do nonsense things not allowing you to fall asleep. For instance, do not eat sweets before hitting the hay. Sadly, I do this know full well. When there's an item in the refrigerator or in the cookie box screaming all the way upstairs, "Eat me!" I do it with a passion.

Last night was one of those. Sadly, it rained all day yesterday as if Noah was expected in town which kept The Queen and I from looking at the Star of Bethlehem. I went to bed at 9 pm disappointed and from there it only went downhill. I've recently purchased a subscription to the new 'go to' news site, The Epoch Times. It's a dandy and goes where no man has ever gone before in getting out the real unadulteraded non-washed news.

The first item popping up was the passage of a COVID Relief Act. It's after I began reading it hit me between the eyes, "These congressman truly hate us, the people." In the bill, 6,656 pages of nonsense(Remember: The Constitution and Declaration of Independence took one page each)the people are guaranteed $600.00 relief. Six hundred lousy stinking dollars for the American people. If Her Majesty and I qualified, which we don't, I'd blow phlegm and mucous on each bill then send them back to McConnell and Pelosi.  

There is so much corruption in this thing I don't know where to begin. Oh yes, some businesses receive relief. For example, the Pelosi family has a number of business holdings. They received $24 million for their toil. The country of Sudan receives $120 billion. Money also goes to Vietnam and Afghanistan. Pakistan receives $10 million to encourage gender studies. Here's a dandy in the bill. It provides money making it illegal to give pain killers to horses before they train or race. Get it. That's in the COVID Relief Bill.

There are many other examples of crapolla in this piece of junk, to many to mention. Allow me to send you a couple of links for you to peruse to give you examples:

I would suggest you call or write your senators and representatives but it won't bear fruit. They're too busy contacting K Street lobbyists to find out how much they padded their bank accounts.

If you really want to swallow a gun today peruse other sites to find out how much of your hard earned money didn't go to help out the American people. Oh, the good news is some of the money will go to build two Smithonsonian Buildings. For those of you who never will visit Washington D.C. this should cause you to become ecstatic with joy.

A lot of cash will be used to increase broadband in schools so kids can study from home in the proper fashion. And if our elected officials do finally show some balls and allow the kids back in school what happens to the money spent on this? Silly us. The money goes to friends of congressmen who own these companies. I repeat, the list of feeding at the trough spending is endless. Only 43 congressmen voted against it. The bastards!

 Are we stupid or what?

It's Good To Be A Kenne-----Er, A Biden

 Caroline Biden pleaded guilty to DUI on Dec. 3 — and was sentenced to 20 days to six months of “confinement,” Pennsylvania court records said.But she won't spend a day behind bars.Instead of jail, she got five-plus months of probation, with 20 days of rehab in January counted toward her sentence.

The report noted that Caroline Biden’s vehicle, which she slammed into a tree, had multiple pill bottles of controlled substances and she was driving without a license.

This latest incident was not the first time that Caroline Biden has gotten into serious trouble with law enforcement for criminal activity.

“The wild-child niece of former Veep Joe Biden stole more than $100,000 in a credit card scam — and quietly cut a plea deal in Manhattan court that spares her any jail time.

In 2013, Caroline Biden “went on a violent rampage at her luxury Tribeca apartment” where she was “throwing punches at police officers and flailing ‘frantically’ as cops wrestled her into handcuffs.”

Quote Of The Day From George Carlin R.I.P.

 “Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations that’ve long since bought and paid for, the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and the information you get to hear. They got you by the balls.”

-George Carlin, RIP

It's A Day To Celebrate

 My good buddy, the Council Bluffs Cowboy, and I always celebrate today, December 21. Oh, it's not because it's the first day of winter. The reason is the days start getting longer with sunlight and will do so up to and including June 21. Who says there isn't a Supreme Being? Can you imagine without one there'd be no rhyme nor reason to they way galaxies function.

In addition, if you live in a part of the country that is not overcast, unlike Columbus Ohio you should be able to catch a glimpse of the Star of Bethlehem. Open the link and you know the best times and places to watch this one in an 800 year event.

I found some information that might win some of you a bar bet. Gilligan's Island TV Show garnered thousands of viewers during it's time on the air waves. Don't ask me why. Maybe it had something to do with the watchers being braindead. Be that as it may Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 90% likeable rating.

What you may not know and this is where the bar bet comes into play. When the call first went out for cast members the captain's role was offered to Carroll O'Conner. I do believe he made the better choice. As for sweet Mary Ann it was Raquel Welch who was wanted by the producers. She'd have been my choice and I might have been convinced to watch an episode or two. And, finally, the beautiful and voluptuous Ginger was hopefully going to go to Jayne Mansfield. She's the only only who flubbed. In a few short months she would lose her life in a car accident. So, there you go. 

Someone, I don't know who, released two Burmes Pythons into the Florida Everglades in the 1990's. Anyway, there are now 1,000 of the bad boys creating havoc with the ecosystem. There are bounty hunters who go into the Glades in hopes of gathering these critters that can grow up to 23 feet in length but when mama python drops a clutch of 40 to 50 eggs at a time the guys can't catch up. There's a new method achieving success. Dogs have learned how to sniff out the slithery beasts. Cool, huh? Charlie, I have a job for you.

Today is also the beginning of the college bowl season. I cannot tell you in strongest enough words how excited I am to look in on Applachian St. as they knock heads with North Texas. Honestly, the only aspect of each team I can tell you is I am knowledgeable of the towns in which they're located which puts me a leg up on most other folks. Hey! I just realized. It's another bar bet.

Still Support BLM?

 Members of a local Black Lives Matter organization marched through a Candy Cane Lane charity event and harassed people driving through the Christmas-decorated street. The residents of the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, suburb decorate every year to raise money for a childhood cancer center.
