Keep The Truth In Sight

Do your eyes lie or is it your mind struggling to erase what your eyes have seen? If you never saw the videos of Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s deaths, you could just accept the news that they were provocateurs and deserved to be shot. You could choose to believe what you hear. The operative word here is choose, but your mind can’t erase what your eyes saw, you don’t have a choice to unsee what you saw! That is a hard mental disconnect! Our pledge of allegiance says, “we believe in one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Justice ...

Outdoing Bunny Love At Super Bowl

Following the Super Bowl halftime show, support for ICE has skyrocketed to 99%, according to the Babylon Bee, known for “fake news you can trust.” Speaking of which, the NFL plans to have next year’s show feature Iranian mullahs speaking in Farsi leading fans in chanting “Death to America” to express the league’s full commitment to the mush of modern tolerance and hyper-inclusive multiculturalism. Bad Bunny’s sign at the end of his performance saying “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” compels the morally-confused NFL to provide Iran’s mullahs a ...

Federal Reserve Board: 90% Of Tariffs Are Paid By U.S.

When President Trump began in early 2025 imposing various tariffs on countries and products around the world there was debate about who would wind up bearing the cost of the Trump tariffs.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has now resolved the debate In 2025 the Bank found that American consumers and businesses bore about 90% of the cost of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs. The average U.S. tariff rose from 2.6% to 13%, about 10 percentage ...

Shoveling For Sunshine

I’m on it. I checked. In March, spring is slated to arrive on time. The sun will cross the equator around March 20, heralding the arrival of the new season. Do you have your doubts? Last year, it took more than a month for spring to remember its agreement, but it’s like this every year: life becomes a giant ketchup commercial, as we sit in anticipation of spring actually stepping up to the plate. It is the most rebellious of seasons. I remember volunteering for a Girl Scout camping trip for my daughter’s troop. They set the date for June 15th, and I spent the night in a ...

How Far Is It Going To Go (Part 1)

*Note – Because there is a lot to say about this subject, this narrative will be in two edition segments beginning today and concluding next week. I’m not a huge fan of the “to be Continued” blurb, so I’m giving you a heads up now. I hope it doesn’t change your mind about reading it. As a huge baseball fan, I try to keep up with the history of the game as best I can, including the bad that comes with, what I feel is the greatest sport of all. That’s not to say I don’t care for other sports, but baseball seems to be the sport most often statistically discussed and ...

Is Anybody Sorry Anymore?

In today’s generation, the simple phrase “I’m sorry” is used far less than it should be. Instead, many people play the blame game or deflect responsibility rather than taking personal accountability for their actions and choices. Receiving an apology for an unprovoked action of another can feel wonderful, but the crucial question remains: Does an apology reflect true sincerity, or is it a strategic avoidance of consequences, or quite possibly it’s merely a passive phrasing like “How are you?”, “Dude”, or “Man” but really has no substance? Google defines an ...
