2018

So, if you didn’t know, the other day Joe Biden said They asked me if I’d like to debate this gentleman, and I said ‘no.’ I said, ‘If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.’ You know, Joe could have just answered in a ...

Mueller Over-Under

Mar

2018

I made a comment at work today regarding an over-under as to when President Trump fires Special Counsel Robert Mueller. It’s really sad to see the craziness that’s going on in the political realm, especially lately. With that said, I’m going with 2 months as the under for the President to somehow make sure Mueller ...

Release the Memo?

Jan

2018

Mostly posting this for posterity today. Apparently there is a memo running around that sheds some light into the FBI working with the Obama administration that portrays their dealing in quite a negative and “shocking” light. If true, that could be a VERY big deal, or it might be nothing at all. Hard to know ...

The Power of a Statue

Aug

2017

In ligt of the recent events in Charlottesville, VA and other racially-charged events across our country, coupled with the election of Donald Trump (whom some deem a racist), much talk has been made in regards to removing Confederate statues. Now, I get it. Some people see those statues, I’m sure, and think to themselves (and ...

Lives Matter 1

2016

Over the last few days we’ve seen 2 black men shot by white police officers and several police officers gunned down in Dallas, TX. I would venture to say there has been way more violence than these 3 instances, but these tragedies have made national headlines. We see the chants of “Black Lives Matter” (or ...

The 10th Amendment to the US Constitution states the following: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. My paraphrase: Certain rights and responsibilities are granted to the Federal government, and the rest are left ...

2016

Last night, 02/04/16, I managed to watch the Democratic debate between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Shout out to being able to stream the debate from my iPhone to my Apple TV (I’m a sucker for all things Apple. I make no bones about that 🙂 ) I was able to catch most of the ...

The World vs. George Zimmerman 9

2013

We’re less than 12 hours since the State of Florida vs. George Zimmerman verdict. I wish now I could hop in my TARDIS and go back in time to follow the case more closely from the beginning, but I can’t. I feel like I missed a TON of crucial information and misinformation. Misinformation. That’s my ...

Rage Against my Beliefs? 8

2013

Recently Danielle sent me an article from Rage Against the Minivan regarding the issue of marriage equality and Christianity. I, of course, read the article and couldn’t wait to post some thoughts. The author’s main beef is that they perceive Christians as trying to push their religious beliefs on others / use their religious beliefs to ...
