November 4, 2024–There are moments when something happens that, at the time, doesn’t seem all that important. A few shots are fired at a bridge in Concord. A fort outside Charleston surrenders. A prison is stormed in Paris. An old guy is shot in Sarajevo. One thing leads to another. People take note, and emotions rise. Later on, we look back and say “THAT was when it all began!” Last Friday, a squirrel died in New York. Peanut, aka P’nut, was the most famous squirrel on the internet...
-November 6, 2024–Robin Litaker was unsuccessful in her attempt to unseat 14-year incumbent Terri Sewell in the AL-7 Congressional race. As of midnight, with 65 of 67 counties reporting, the Alabama Secretary of State website had Democrat Sewell leading 178,747 votes (63.1%) to Republican Litaker's 104,292 votes (36.8%). Litaker watched the election results come in at the Tuscaloosa County Republican Headquarters. Earlier in the evening Litaker declined a request from the Gazette for a c...
(September 9, 2024) Vaxxed III: Authorized To Kill will premier in theaters September 18th, 2024. Tickets for the one night only showing of the film can be purchased at Vaxxed3.org. Purchasing tickets online prior to the 18th is highly recommended. Vaxxed III focuses on the experiences of those who had adverse reactions to the COVID vaccines, as well as the chilling, often horrifying COVID treatment protocols promulgated by the CDC, NIAID, CMS and others. As of this writing, Vaxxed III showings...
(September 4, 2024) Want a Get Out Of Jail Free card? All you have to do is move to a sanctuary city and tell the cops you’re an illegal! “Because we’re a sanctuary city. I’ve arrested a double homicide suspect in this city before and let him walk out the door because we’re in a sanctuary city. We’re not going to call ICE to come pick up and deport him.” The above quote comes from a video that blew up the internet this weekend, and was made by a cop speaking to a man who was trying to rep...
(September 11, 2024) The Harris/Trump debate was painful to watch, but I did. If you didn’t, count yourself lucky. I’d have to call it a draw. But, considering it was 3:1 Harris & the moderators against Trump, I’d say Trump did pretty well. It was blatantly obvious from the outset that the moderators were actively helping Harris and attacking Trump. They were fact-checking Trump in real time while letting Harris’ plethora of lies pass unremarked, among other things. Naturally, social media w...
(September 16, 2024) Another day, another Trump assassination attempt. Are you surprised? If you are, why? Because many of us certainly weren’t surprised to hear about what happened Sunday afternoon. President Trump posted “0-2” on his Truth Social account shortly after reassuring us he was okay—and they wonder why we love him! The former (and future) President then posted the following: “FEAR NOT! I am safe and well, and no one was hurt. Thank God! But, there are people in this world who would...
(September 17, 2024) Today, I intended to write about the fallout one week out from the Trump/Harris debate, but things didn’t work out that way. I’m not going to write about how the backlash against ABC and the Harris campaign has completely overwhelmed any advantage Kamala may have gotten for her debate performance. I’m not going to mention the polls that showed a clear debate advantage to Trump, including a 2:1 advantage among independents. I’m not going to mention Kamala’s many flip flop...
(September 18, 2024) Chris Cuomo allegedly called President Trump after the second attempted assassination to apologize for…something or other. He talked about it on his show, maybe Monday? It didn’t really pop up on any one’s radar until Wednesday, when it became a hot topic on social media. This is understandable because, really, who watches Cuomo anyway? Certainly not me. I’ve got much better things to do, like braiding my nose hairs. At any rate, I put a link to the video and a transcr...
(September 19, 2024) Vaxxed III: Authorized To Kill is a powerful movie that you need to see. TL;DR—it’s about what was done to us during the pandemic. It’s shocking and hard to watch at times, but watch it anyway. Vaxxed III is a film that cuts across all lines. It deals directly and honestly with what may be THE issue of our times: the COVID pandemic and how this country dealt with it. Those who have seen Vaxxed and Vaxxed II will recognize the format of Vaxxed III immediately. And, like Vaxxe...
(September 23, 2024) Why is not letting non-citizens vote even an issue? Not a citizen? You don’t get a say in how the country’s run. Want to vote? Either become a citizen, or go home. And yet, for Democrats and a few alleged Republicans, it’s not only an issue, it’s something they regard as absolutely essential. That’s why they recently voted to kill a Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the government funded for the next six months at current spending levels, because the CR included the SAVE...
(September 23, 2025) It’s been over a week since Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested, and the Elites on both coasts are still in full-blown panic mode. Diddy has been one of THE major players in the music industry for decades, a multimillionaire (possibly a billionaire), an entrepreneur and influencer who hobnobbed with A-listers on a regular basis. Now he’s facing a minimum of 15 years to life for sex trafficking and RICO charges, and everyone who ever attended one of his infamous parties is terr...
Here's my guaranteed no-fail pumpkin cheesecake recipe: -go to Costco -buy a pumpkin cheesecake -serve slathered in whipped cream to cover up the pumpkin taste No, I'm not a fan of pumpkin. I like the seeds, but pie? No. Pumpkin pie spiced latte? Seriously? Do I look like a man bun-wearing hipster soy boy? I think not! For some reason I can't begin to fathom, pumpkin pie spice has become the official flavor of fall. So, to help you celebrate, here's a recipe to make your own Fall Spice Mix, and...
The No. 2 Debate October 2, 2024–I expected the Vice Presidential debate to be a big, stinking pile of No. 2. I was only mildly disappointed. I can say two good things about it: it's over, and we won’t have to endure another one. Okay, three things: it wasn’t as badly biased as the Trump/Harris debate. Tiny props to CBS for that. It was amusing to watch J.D. Vance fact check the fact checkers on the CBP One app. That made me giggle. Then, I dozed off halfway through because BORING, until right...
(October 2, 2024) - Hoover - Robin Litaker hosted a Meet & Greet on Tuesday night before the Vice Presidential debate. Litaker, the Republican nominee in the AL-7 congressional race, met with supporters at Brock's Gap Brewery, adjacent to the Hoover Met. Litaker had this to say after the debate: "When JD Vance took the stage, it became crystal clear who's fighting for the future of America. Vance, alongside Trump's leadership, stands against the broken policies that have allowed the Middle East...
October 4, 2024–Dear Congress: Helene victims need help now. Could you please tear yourself away from campaigning and go into a special session to make FEMA actually do its job? Or let the US Military help secure Americans in mortal peril? I realize that nothing is more important to you than making the world safe for re-election, and you don’t get kickbacks and massive donations from ordinary Americans, but occasionally your constituents need help, too. After all, you weren’t elected just to se...
October 9, 2024–Anthropomorphic animals as a vehicle for telling morality tales has a history that stretches back millennia. Orwell's Animal Farm is perhaps the best known contemporary form of this style that combines a sweeping morality tale with biting political commentary. These types of stories are difficult to write, as the author has to walk a fine line between the reality of the situation he or she wishes to skewer and the suspension of belief needed to accept talking horses, pigs and g...
(August 2, 2024) Can the Democrats be sued for false advertising? They’ve completely abandoned “democracy“ for the third Presidential cycle in a row, so I think they should be forced to rebrand themselves to reflect what they actually stand for. Donorcrats? Elitocrats? DeathToAmericrats? Surely there’s a Consumer Protection statute or six out there that applies. Or, could be made to apply under the Bragg Precedence (namely, we don’t need a crime to charge you for…something or other). In...
All men are born with the genetic knowledge and desire to cook meat over fire. It springs from the gender unconscious and forms a large part of the archetypal zeitgeist of what it is to be a Man. Every Grill Master has his own special techniques, tips and tricks. To help you win the Grill Wars by producing the perfect steak this summer, here are a few of mine. The grill: I've used a lot of grills, and nothing works better for all-around use than an old-school charcoal grill. Yes, it's more...
(August 7, 2024) Tuesday, Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her Vice-Presidential running mate. Yes, he’s a radical Lefty—but so is Kamala. Yes, he’s an experienced politician (12 years in Congress, Governor since 2018) who’s basically an unknown nonentity outside of his own State and the hardcore political junkie class. Yes, he’s a little creepy and ookie in a whiny, aging soy boy kind of way. Yes, he was chosen in large part to satisfy the far-left wing of the party which has...
(August 12, 2024) The 2024 Paris Olympics are done! Compared to the blasphemous crime against good taste that was the opening, the closing ceremonies were rather plain, verging on boring. Yes, there was the Tom Cruise stunt, which is undoubtedly part of the marketing for Mission Impossible 37, or whatever number they’re up to. The fireworks were not terribly impressive, nor was the National Anthem done by some artist I’ve never heard of (and quite frankly, won’t be looking for on Spotify). Now t...
(August 13, 2024) President Trump marked his return to X (formerly Twitter) with a conversation with Elon Musk on Spaces Monday evening. Spaces is the live-streaming part of X, and was what Ron DeSantis used to launch his campaign all those months ago. Of course, that Spaces was a disaster—the platform couldn’t handle the load—and was a tremendous embarrassment for both DeSantis and Musk. It was a portent of things to come for DeSantis’ campaign. Musk apologized, and moved on, and promise...
(August 20, 2024) I watched as much of Monday’s DNC as I could stand. All in all, about two minutes. Maybe less. Honestly, I just couldn’t make myself watch any more. I haven’t seen so many self-aggrandizing narcissists and floridly delusional souls since I worked the admissions unit at Bryce. That, plus the bare-faced lies of these people? Unwatchable. At the very least, very difficult to watch without the intense desire to reprogram the TV with an axe. Maybe that’s why the DNC’s main prog...
August 23, 2024) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. formally suspended his Presidential campaign and encouraged his supporters in "about 10" swing states to support President Donald J. Trump. Kennedy said that his name would remain on the ballot in most states, but would be removed in critical swing states where he would be a "spoiler" in the election. Prior to Friday's announcement, his name had already been removed from the ballot in Arizona and Pennsylvania. Recent polling has shown that a three-way race...
(August 26, 2924) Last Friday, the American political world shifted on its axis. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his independent Presidential campaign on Friday afternoon and threw his support behind Donald J. Trump. That evening, Trump and Kennedy shared the stage in Phoenix, Arizona, where Kennedy repeated his endorsement of Trump’s efforts to retake the White House. In return, Trump saluted Kennedy’s “decades of work as an advocate for the health of our families and our children, nobod...
(August 28, 2024) Last week Nicole Shanahan, RFK Jr.’s then-VP running mate, said "The hesitation we have right now in joining forces with Trump is that he has not apologized or publicly come out and said Operation Warp Speed was his fault.” Shortly thereafter, Bobby Kennedy suspended his campaign and endorsed President Trump. Over the weekend, while the Dems were scrambling to recover from the shivving RFK Jr gave to Kamala’s campaign, one of the things they tried to latch onto was Shana...
