There’s so much racial division in America. Now granted, most of it is media driven. I have long maintained that America is only as racist as the media tells us it is. Sadly, too many people listen to only the mainstream media. Certainly, there is some element of racism in America, but just like trans violence, Asian violence, and homophobia, it’s simply not like it’s portrayed to us. I believe most people realize this. I think a large segment of the country, if asked would agree. Sadly, it isn’t that segment of our population controlling social media and the lamestream…

If I’m being honest here, and I always try to be, I have to confess that I didn’t REALLY realize that other countries did things like “pride month”. Honestly, as wacked out as America continues to become, I assumed virtue signaling attempts like this were the domain of America. Glad to say I am wrong for once! I previously thought America was the only racist, sexist, transphobic, oppressive nation in the world. Just kidding of course! America is the most tolerant, progressive country in the world on MOST issues, but don’t tell the Democrats this, don’t want to ruin their…

It’s hard being a police officer in 2022. Antifa, BLM, rampant crime in blue cities, and the still insane notion of defunding the police has made a hard job even harder. Politicians, city managers, and in many cases the general public has made being in law enforcement almost not worth it. I’m sure we have all seen viral videos of “a-holes” videotaping police, trying to bait them into losing their cool. That’s just not ok. Besides having “citizens” with cell phone cameras harassing them at every turn, in some cases the harassment is coming from WITHIN the force. What am…

I’m not an overly religious man, though I do believe in God and the Bible. I also believe in the end times. You know, apocalypse stuff. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as portrayed in Revelations. Conquest, war, famine and death are the aforementioned four, but I’d submit a fifth, if I may. Honey Boo Boo. Yep, THAT Honey Boo Boo. We all remember the precocious young pageant girl from “Toddlers and Tiaras”. Surely the fact that she is back in the media spotlight is a sign of end times. But I digress. What has happened to her since the…

It is often said that comedy is under fire. No, not like the shooting at the North Carolina comedy club where the Office alumni Craig Robinson was playing. That was bad in a different way. Rather, it’s a more insidious, subtle type of fire. Comedians are getting cancelled for being funny. If the left objects to the subject matter, unless you are Bill Burr or Andrew Schultz, then heaven help you, you might get cancelled. Even heavyweights like Louis CK and Dave Chappelle have been under fire for their material, and actions as in CK’s case. Speaking of Dave Chappelle,…

I was a huge fan of professional wrestling as a kid and young adult. The storylines, the costumes, the personalities; all larger than life. The smaller circuits used to tour through my home region of central and northern Kentucky, coupled with wrestling magazines and local televised wrestling, and I was hooked, as were most of my friends. Macho Man Randy Savage threatened to beat the (expletives deleted) out of all my friends and me once. It left an impression! It wasn’t unusual to find my friends and myself trying to kill each other emulating our favorite moves and wrestlers on…

I’ve worked most of my adult life in automobile manufacturing. Assembly line work in a sprawling, fast paced facility can be physically taxing, mentally stressful, and downright dangerous. I have seen even the youngest, fittest people come up injured, have accidents, and develop repetitive motion injuries. It’s almost unavoidable. In the United States, unlike other underdeveloped countries, we have laws protecting workers. You have to give regular breaks, provide ample training and safety equipment, and compensate for overtime. Oh, and you can’t work if you should be in middle school. I guess that one should go without saying, right? Guess…

I’m a music guy, always have been—especially live music. I saw my first concert when I was 12 years old. It was Kenny Loggins. Shut up; I know I’m old! Since then, I have conservatively seen close to one thousand bands live, give or take. Who can remember? For the most part, I have never really concerned myself with the cost. If I want to go and can afford it, I go. Our heroes aren’t going to live forever, folks. You have to see them before it’s too late. I have long been critical of Ticketmaster and they’re incredibly shady…

There are still “good guys” left in the world. Police, fire, EMS, our military; just a few examples of “good guys”. Let’s be fair, there are good ladies as well, so don’t @ me for being exclusionary. However, this example of the good guy is the story of the good guy with a gun. But wait! Isn’t the good guy with a gun just a myth? That’s what the left would have us believe, as they continue their efforts to undermine the Second Amendment. The mainstream media certainly won’t cover it with more than a passing mention, but sometimes a…

Many in the sports world get a bad rap. However, it’s not without cause. We see stories all the time about professional athletes, across all sports, both active and retired doing sketchy things and landing on the wrong side of Johnny Law. I suppose the power that comes with large sums of money can be overwhelming. Couple that with the mindset that some of these athletes have that they can do whatever they want because of who they are, and often they end up behind bars, broke, or dead. I feel like the NFL has a larger share of ne’er…

Can we all agree we have had enough of Lia Thomas? I don’t even need to explain who this is or what she/he has done to proverbially muddy the waters in regard to women’s swimming. It’s literally everywhere. Women’s sports, particularly NCAA swimming keeps taking hits. It’s not enough that biological men are allowed to dominate biological women, but they are potentially taking prestigious awards as well. Women of the year? Apropos I suppose since Thomas has been a woman about a year. Buried beneath this story however is the story of another transgender swimmer, coincidentally in the Ivy League…

Baseball has always been my first love. Some of my fondest memories are warm summer nights listening to the Cincinnati Reds on radio. I used to even score the games by hand and sometimes record them on cassette when I couldn’t be home to listen. What a dork. Granted, in those days we had three television channels, no video games, and Al Gore hadn’t invented the internet yet, so my entertainment options were limited. I’ll always remember vividly the first time I attended a Major League Baseball game in person. The smells, the sounds, the colors all still stick in…

I am really tired of the expression “not all heroes wear capes”. Of course they don’t! Spider-Man doesn’t wear a cape. Neither does Iron Man or the Hulk. Of course, not all heroes are fictional characters either. Police, fire, first responders; all REAL American heroes, along with our brave armed forces members defending our country. The best stories however are when everyday people step up and save lives. No special powers. No special training. No radioactive spider bites (if only). Sometimes, ordinary people rise to the occasion and put their own wellbeing to the side in order to help their…

It seems like the Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck story has been a thing most of my adult life. Mostly I pay no attention to celebrity romances, marriages and such. Just doesn’t interest me. Occasionally though, a couple grabs my attention. Lopez and Affleck seem to be genuinely decent people. Neither are overtly loud or political, which is important these days, and neither have had any huge public scandals. I don’t care so much about the public scandals, but the political aspect sticks with me. I can’t count the number of bands and artists and actors that have been ruined for…

It’s got to be hard to be a comedian these days. Heck, it’s even hard being a smart ass that likes to tell off color jokes to his work associates. You literally have to scope out who is within earshot, gauge your prospective audience, and even then, it’s probably best to just walk away. It’s true; comedy is under fire in America. However, this time I’m not talking about what you think I am. No one is butt hurt (yet) today over a Chris Rock or Dave Chappelle joke. No, at one Charlotte, North Carolina club, comedy was LITERALLY under…

Painful admission time! I have NEVER seen Game of Thrones! That didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would. To be honest, I’ve seen ten minutes of the very first episode. It was like a block of government cheese for me; “hard pass”. Something about the grayscale tones and dragons and such that just didn’t float my boat. Plus, as a habit I always hate what everyone else loves, especially where television is involved. There’s a somewhat annoying habit in film and television these days. Honestly there’s another, more annoying habit that we will address shortly, but the annoying…

Folks, we all know our larger, Democrat runs cities are crumbling. Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco; we can go on and on. Wherever Democrats are in power at the city level, things go to crap. It’s not just economically either. Things are just plain dangerous. Liberal, Soros backed prosecutors are more interested in their progressive agenda than protecting citizens and locking up criminals. It’s a sad state of affairs. Businesses and people are running from liberal run cities. And why not? No one wants to pay more for literally EVERYTHING, and still have to be worried…

You think Joe Biden drinks coffee? I mean sure, he loves his decaf Sanka before a marathon of “Murder She Wrote” and a 7:30 bedtime, but I wonder if he hits the “Joe” first thing in the morning. I picture Biden shuffling to the kitchen in his footie pajamas, popping a K-Cup in his Keurig and standing back, cause technology is scary. “Jill, why is it making this hissing noise, I’m scared!” “Just stand back Joey, it’s making your coffee. Don’t touch, HOT, HOT!” Ok, maybe it doesn’t go like that, but I’ll tell you how it’s NOT going to…

I have worked in the auto industry for decades. I have seen features and fads come and go, and the industry as a whole start to decrease, productivity and quality-wise. Technology is a wonderful thing, and safety features and creature comforts have made modern vehicles so much safer and more comfortable than even a few years ago. I challenge anyone to get behind the wheel of a twenty-year-old car versus even a low-end model today. There’s just no comparison. Given that costs continue to rise, but vehicle prices have to stay at least somewhat affordable, corners must be cut somewhere.…

Sometimes it feels really good to watch a big-mouthed public figure insert their size 13 Jordan’s into the aforementioned mouth, doesn’t it? I mean come on, who amongst us hasn’t gotten a chuckle at some self-righteous social justice warrior saying something completely asinine and subsequently getting ROASTED for it? Just about the only thing funnier is the inevitable “clarification”. Just stick to your stupid guns and double down, I say. If you are going to be wrong, be wrong like a man! Recently one of our most dim-witted famous athletes, LeBron James, had some rather interesting thoughts about Brittney Griner.…

I’m a hardcore music fan. Always have been. As a kid, since we only had three channels (I’m old), most of my evenings would be spent listening to the local FM DJ’s as opposed to watching whatever my parents were watching. Thus began my love of music. Country was never really my thing, but country in the 70’s and 80’s was vastly different from what it is now. The so-called ‘bro” country dominates the airwaves and the concert stages. Truth be told I like it way more than any of the more traditional stuff my parents listened to. Having attended…

Folks, this has to stop. Mass shootings in the United States have to stop. We have a problem. No, not a gun problem, a crazy person problem. The Democrats want to restrict, or even take away the Second Amendment and the increase in gun violence doesn’t help. Guns aren’t the problem; mental health is the problem. Let’s be honest, most of us have friends that we KNOW shouldn’t own a gun. We also have friends that post craziness on social media. Couple the two, and it’s up to non-crazy people to take steps to alert authorities when they see something…

There’s really no way around it. Kids can be jerks. Especially middle schoolers. Talk about a rough stretch! Raging hormones, acne, cliques; couple that with the desire of many school systems to rush kids through this crucial two to three-year period, and you have a recipe for disaster. Middle school eats many kids alive. It was the hardest two years of my educational life, and I actually had a small friend group. Problem was, and still is the jerks, bullies and “a” holes. Recently, one middle school boy had the ignominious distinction of having the entire SCHOOL treat him like…

Folks, the streets just aren’t safe anymore. If you live in a Republican controlled city, it’s not as bad, but if you live in a lib-controlled city, crime is rampant. It’s a recurring theme all across our country. Democrat controlled cities are weak on crime. Weak prosecutors and liberal policies most often result in more crime. Especially violent crime. Our major cities are bordering on war zones. This is not hyperbole folks; this is crime that is statistically trackable. Unfortunately, sometimes actual video is more effective than statistics. It’s disturbing and disgusting, but cameras show what we are up against…

The war on drugs never ends, right? It seems we are losing, due to a number of factors. Cartels keep getting more creative, technology keeps advancing, and the Biden administration has basically opened the borders, allowing a flood of fentanyl and other illicit drugs into our country. So many families have been devastated by meth, heroine, fentanyl, and other drugs smuggled though our wide-open southern border. It’s truly sad, and a problem the Biden administration simply doesn’t care about. Thankfully we have hero agents monitoring the border as best they can, considering the lack of support from Washington. It’s a…

I’ve never found snails to be particularly appealing. Not as a pet, not as a food, not at all. Kind of gross actually. Now I’m sure the slimy arthropods serve a purpose in the ecosystem. Most everything does. except wasps. Wasps can burn in hell. I digress. Invasive species are another issue. Some critters just aren’t intended to live in certain places. Gators shouldn’t be in the New York City sewers, pythons shouldn’t be in the Everglades, Ohioans shouldn’t be in Kentucky, you get the picture. Well, one Florida county is dealing with a slimy, invasive problem (I’m not talking…

We have all seen Tom Cruise jump from rooftop to rooftop, right? How hard can it be? Spider-Man does it, with the aid of CGI of course. Unlike Tom Cruise, Spider-Man doesn’t do his own stunts. Sissy. The circumstances would have to be pretty extreme to make a leap like that. Roof to roof, off a train platform onto another roof. Heck, I’m not sure I could jump off the roof of my car without getting mortally wounded. However, sometimes the circumstances are so dire, so extreme that extreme action is required. Or maybe it’s just a dumb criminal that…

How about some feel-good news? There aren’t very many of them floating around anymore it seems. Sadly, all the mainstream media wants to talk about is abortion, guns, inflation, you know…fun stuff. I refuse to believe that EVERYTHING is crap. There are still good people, good stories and things to brighten our outlook on America and humanity just a little. If you dig, you can find them. That brings me to this! Pride month is over, and subsequently so is the pride Whopper at Burger King, but the chain DOES have someone to be proud of. Let’s check in with…

Florida is a lovely state, it really is. Pristine beaches, sunshine, Ron DeSantis, sanity, low taxes all are part of the charm of Florida. Of course, there are always downsides to everything, right? Lightning strike capital of the world, numerous species of deadly vipers, panthers, mosquitos the size of small birds, an occasional democrat. We can’t have everything, right? Did I mention dinosaurs? More specifically alligators. They are literally everywhere in the sunshine state. Swamps? Gators. Canals? Gators. Rivers? Gators. Lakes? Gators. You get the point? You better because they are everywhere, and they can be hungry, hungry like hippos,…

Anyone remember this show from the 90’s? Featured six friends, kicking around New York City, falling in and out of love and engaging in hilarious hijinks every Thursday night on NBC? You know, back when NBC actually had good television. Friends, right? Joey, Ross, Chandler, Monica, Phoebe, and Rachel. Oh, Rachel. Spawned a generation of hairstyles among other things. So, what is the common thread here? Their job’s a joke, their broke, their love lives are DOA? Nah, they are all white!! I’ll give everyone a moment to recover from the shock and horror. Everyone better? Good. Look, I don’t…
