Just reminiscing 27 years since seeing my daughters last

 I don't often publicly comment on this. During a really difficult divorce, a court hearing was scheduled to take the girls from my ex the following week. We had just taken them on a fantastic cruise with my wife's boys. We put them on a plane back to the ex and waved goodbye. Little did we know the ex scooped them up and took them out of the US. That is the last time I saw my girls some 27 years ago. I will never forget them, but their family brainwashed them into believing I was somehow bad. Well, just reminiscing. Love you, girls, wherever you are.

Anyone Else tired of censorship????

 Sure, high profile personalities have lots of followers and their words can have substantial impact. But for G.D's sake, why is Facebook censoring my cartoons featuring a skunk? Against community standards they say. Really, anything they want to control can be against community standards. What community? And who sets the standards?

There was Parler, then they sabotaged them. They back with limits. Didn't Hitler, Muslini, Pol Pot, Kim Jung Un do the same? Control the narrative and you control the masses.

Get smart people, don't believe the crap they feed you.

Really???

It seems to me that there are forces at work that are trying to continue the division and identity politics in our nation. I'm not looking for us all to agree on anything, but the words are escalating into actions. People, even college age students, are ignorant of our history and take the inflammatory words of a few and believe them. The media is full of lies, deceit and purposeful omission.

So what are these forces? Is it highly funded revolutionary organizations that would love to see our country crumble? Is it disassociated masses of ill-informed morons?  Is it a swamp filled with self-serving politicians? Well, maybe it is all of the above. But I believe that all are influenced by the adversary. For as our society fragments, so does organized religious practice. The glue that had been holding this country together since the Pilgrim's set foot on the continent has been rooted in God.

Today we are pushing God out of our schools, military, prisons, work place, sports and our lives. The country without such a binding force is doomed to implode. I pray that we can see our way clear as a nation to worship God and respect each other.

May God Bless our great nation.

Tribute to R. Lee Ermey

Gunny served as a DI in the Vietnam era Marines.  A time when we had to transform youth to hardened Marines in a matter of weeks.  He must have reflected back on the faces and names that left his training and prayed that they make it back.  He was a cream puff surrounded by tank armor.  His later years were nostalgic playing with the best of the best weapons, soldiers and things that go boom. He was a man that lived hard, looked tough, loved life and brought much to this life. Rest in Peace Gunny

All this shouting about government shutdown

Okay, time to spout off about the Schumer shutdown. This is the most hypocritical display of the Senate in modern times. Screw the talking points, this is just a hostage move plain and simple. Time to change the Senate rules. Hell, it's time for term limits too. (Right, that will never happen). With all the political spinning, I'm getting dizzy.
Vote em all out!

Just in! Media Creates News!

What do you get when you have 20 people with differing opinions quietly using their 2nd amendment rights and then add 15 cameramen, 30 reporters and a slow news cycle????
A riot.

Really. Look how many times a small group shows up and then come the cameras. People act differently. They put on a show for the camera. THEIR 15 minutes of fame! Add networks that have a narrative they want to push and you have news. Idiots destroy shops, cars, public property all for the sake of the camera. Where are the police??? How about they douse the news media with some mace and see how much news get created?

What if that was your car? Or your shop being looted. I think a couple cans of bear spray would be handy about then. I'd probably get sued for making a snowflake cry. Time to change our thinking folks.

(Think I will go stock up on bear spray) ....

Enough about Russia!

It seems to me that if we are going to use "where there's smoke, there's fire" as a standard for a special prosecutor, we should have assigned a dozen or so to Obummer and Crooked Hillary. So many lies, so much corruption, so many laws willfully broken and not one special prosecutor.

The libs keep trying to infer that there had to be some collusion with Russia. We there was. We saw Obummer tell the Russian ambassador that he could be "more flexible" since he wasn't up for re-election. There's your smoking gun.

Not one single credible source has indicated any proof exists of any connection between Trump and the Russians. Geez. That 2-bit country has a lower GDP than Texas. What do we presume they can do? A couple of hackers and innuendo. Smells like we just tracked through the bullpen. I always say.... If it smell like bullshit, and tastes like bullshit, hold your nose and what the HELL you doing tasting bullshit!!!

Folks, let's focus on the real business at hand.
