Debate Fail

There were no winners during the first Presidential debate.  There were, however, three losers. I’m going to start off by saying that I really don’t like getting lied to.  It happens all the time and I’m getting tired of it.  But both candidates did it.  President Trump stated that Joe

Voting Advice

This isn’t advice on how to vote, it’s advice on how to vote. Curse you English Language! Let me try again, this isn’t advice on who you should vote for, it’s advice on the mechanism by which you vote. There. That’s better. There are a few things you should consider.

Enhanced Performance

A few weeks back an “anonymous source” supposedly told The Atlantic that President Trump called dead military personnel “suckers and losers” at a recent event.  Shortly thereafter, people who had been with the President at the event said that they never heard him utter those words or show disrespect to

My Pronouns

Apparently, there are an unlimited number of genders.  People can now just make up a gender and then expect that everyone should refer to them by that determination. But, having “non-binary” genders in addition to man and woman causes a problem.  For those people who don’t believe they’re either a

Mask Hysteria

[Note: I wrote this prior to the election. Unfortunately, not much has changed since then.] I am not the least bit concerned about COVID-19.  Zip, zilch, nada.  My wife is the same way. Do you want to know why?  Because we don’t blindly believe everything we’re told when there is
