Anyone Whose Job Requires Them…

To take an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic should take it seriously!

Is A Person Worth 30-40 Million Dollars Per Year

Just because they are good at hitting, pitching, throwing, catching, running, or kicking a ball?

Blood On Their Hands

Hate filled rantings and lies spewed by right wingers have cost more innocent lives.  How many more Gay, Bi, or Trans people will die before people start to say Enough Is Enough?  In a previous post, we said that there was a difference between being offended by something and being harmed by it.  If you have objections to the LBGTQ lifestyle, that’s fine. But that is no reason to resort to violence!

There Is A Difference

Between something offending you and being physically harmed by it.  Looking at you, gay bashers or abortion foes.

This Election Goes To Show You

That prognosticators are wrong most of the time, and that we really don’t know what will happen until the votes are actually cast and counted!

Time To Break Up The GOP?

The Republican Party in its current form cannot remain a viable entity as long as the crazies are allowed to run the show.  Perhaps it’s time that ordinary common sense R’s such as Chris Sununu and John Kasich form their own conservative party, and leave the MAGA nuts such as Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert to fend for themselves.  It ‘s good for a country to have more than one political party involved in government, but when one is hijacked by a throng of conspiracy theory spouting lunatics, something has to be done.

We Were Warned That It Would Happen….

And it did! The assault on Speaker Pelosi’s husband by a right wing extremist proved those who said that the current poison being spewed by election deniers and anti-government crazies would get Government officials or their families hurt or killed were right.  This is intolerable, and law enforcement needs to take each and every threat seriously, before it gets worse!

The Best And The Worst

My favorite teacher was my 10th and 12th grade English teacher, Mrs. McGann.  She treated all of her students with respect, and told me that she watched me to gauge if what she was teaching was sticking. Don’t get me wrong, I’m probably the biggest reader in the world, but what the heck are you supposed to learn from Romeo And Juliet?  I always wanted to ask her that, but never got the chance.

On the other end of the spectrum, we have Mr. Campbell, my 10th and 12th grade Algebra teacher.  He was a total ass.  He treated us all like garbage, and told me once that I was so stupid, I couldn’t draw a straight line with a ruler. 

So who’s you best and worst?

Proud Of You Guys!

After most pundits said that they’d lose 100 or more games for the third time in the last 4 years, my Baltimore Orioles will have a winning record this season, after winning their 82nd game on Sunday.  Despite trading fan favorite Trey Mancini and All Star closer Jorge Lopez, the O’s found ways to win.  With a young lineup lead by Rookie Of The Year Candidate Adley Rustchman  and infielder Gunnar Henderson, and a young starting rotation led by Veteran hurler Jordan Lyles (If his option is picked up) and a possible mid-season return by Injured ace John Means,   and a bullpen led by closer Felix “The Mountain”  Bautista, I can’t wait to see what next season brings!

As A Lover Of Reading…

I can’t stand the thought of banning books.  No one should be denied the chance to broaden their horizons by entering the worlds of your mind that reading can take you to.

Who participated in the January 6 insurrection has no business running for or holding office.

Must Be Nice…

Some of these Baseball players like Julio Rodriguez of the Mariners who get massive contract extensions before they even have one year of service in the bigs.  But he’s having a pretty good rookie year, so it just might be worth it.

So Long Pete

Your incompetence and failure in leadership led to the deaths of 19 kids, 2 teachers, and the end of your job. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

Going Through Town And Watching School Buses Go By The First Day Of School…

Reminds me of how much I truly hated school.  Not the learning, but being treated like Shit by both kids and teachers every day for 12 years because of my weight…

Kudos, Liz!

You were gracious in defeat, putting country and Constitution before party. Hopefully more in your party will take your lead! I don’t agree with you on most of your politics, but you have my support on your love of this country! Hopefully this is just a bump in the road, and you will do great things.

How Low Can You Go?

Republicans, who say that they are supportive of Law Enforcement are calling for defunding the FBI and some of their more extreme followers are calling for killing of federal agents.  Simply for doing their job.  Hypocrisy anyone?

Good Luck In Houston Trey

You were a great player for my Orioles, hopefully you’ll have a long postseason run with a talented Astros team!

In What Bizzarro World…

Is it OK for a 10 year old LET ME REPEAT THAT TEN YEAR OLD  to be forced to carry their rapist’s baby?  This is insane!

Be Careful What You Wish For Clarence

Because the way things are going, your fellow justices at SCOTUS just might declare that your interracial marriage is invalid.

This Is Getting Fun

Because of an 8 game winning streak, my Baltimore Orioles are only 1 game below .500, and about a week or so from surpassing their total number of wins from 2021.This week has been a wild one, with the O’s winning 3 games in walk-off fashion, including Friday, when they scored 3 runs in the bottom of the ninth with an insane 4 straight 2 out, 2 strike hits.  This team is giving off vibes and memories of the 1989 Birds, who a  year after the infamous 0-21 start to 1988, fought for the division crown up until the final weekend, just coming up a bit short.  Even with an additional wild card, they might not make the playoffs, but when you aren’t expected to be competitive, sometimes just having fun and playing your best can give great results!

A Sad Day In The History Of The US

The Supreme Court’s ruling has turned half of the United States population into second class citizens.  Be careful ladies!  If some Republicans had their way, you could be jailed for having a miscarriage.  It is your body, fight for it!

Thursday, June 23, 2022

Stay Classy Republicans!

Sending death threats to old ladies who dared to be poll workers and the 5 month old son of a congressman of your own party who thinks that January 6 was an insurrection.  How low can you go?

With Technology These Days…

You can’t get away with a lot of crime.  Dumb criminals insist on recording and posting their deeds online  for all to see, including the law.  Not very bright!

If I Were Running For Office…

Which I can’t because it takes money, here are some things I’d campaign on, not in any particular order:

1: No one is above or below the law

2: Women are not property, what she does with her body is her own business

3: Does someone marrying a member of the same sex cause me harm? NO!

4: You have a right to your religious beliefs, but you don’t have to right to force them on others.

5: There is nothing wrong with wanting the police to do their job and not kill innocents.

6:  Compromise is not a dirty word.

7:  You shouldn’t have to choose between paying your bills, having food, and affording medicine.

8: Time in the hospital shouldn’t force you into bankruptcy.

9: Corporations are not people.

10: Above corporations and millionaires should pay their fair share of taxes.

11: There is only a finite amount of fossil fuels left in the earth, renewables are the way.

12: It is not illegal to seek asylum.

13: We have a right to our opinion on our president, it is not unpatriotic to criticize them.

14 : We are all human, no matter what color, religion, or nationality we are.

I Don’t Like These Gimmicks …

Used these days to determine overtime sports games.  I survived tied Hockey games and watching the Orioles play 18 inning games on the West Coast, which usually start at 10 PM my time and ended around 3 in the morning.  If they go to using a free throw contest to decide Basketball games, I give up!

How Much Longer Are We Going To Have To Put Up With

These senseless shootings?  It is no longer safe for kids to go to school, for people to go to church, or to go to the grocery store!  When will Republicans quit bowing down to the NRA and help develop some meaningful and sensible gun laws?

My Right To Live Without Being Afraid Of Being A Victim Of A Mass Shooting…

Trumps your right as a civilian to own weapons that only a trained military person should have access to, such as assault weapons.

You Can’t Have It Both Ways..

Complaining how having to wear a mask during a pandemic is violating your personal rights, but making laws that butt into a woman’s right to control her own body.

Because Of Hatred Of All Things Clinton…

Women are now about to be reduced to property status.  Rape victims will be forced to carry their rapists’ babies, Incest victims the same, pregnant women with medical emergencies that make carrying a baby life threatening will die, the right to use birth control, and on and on.  If I were a gay person wanting to marry their partner or have already married them,a woman of child baring age,  or minorities, I’d seriously consider leaving the US.  Never before has a constitutional right that had been held up by the Supreme court been overturned.

The Man Just Can’t Catch A Break

It’s another injury filled season for Orioles lefty John Means.  After missing parts of the last 3 seasons with various shoulder and elbow injuiries, his elbow has finally blown out, requiring Tommy John Surgery.  He’ll miss the rest of this season and the bulk of 2023.  The guy can pitch when healthy, as shown by his 12 wins in 2019, and his no-hitter last year.  We’ll see how good he is after returning, the Orioles are off the a reasonable for them, but still losing record after the first month, and another lefty, Bruce Zimmermann, has gotten of to a Means like start, and looks like he has a bright future.

Putting His Money Where His Mouth Is

Props to now former MSNBC terrorism/security expert Malcolm Nance for giving up that career to go overseas and fight against the Russians for Ukraine.  He is one selfless and brave guy!

If not for the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, Christianity would be for nothing.

You Get What You Vote For…

I feel sorry for the people of Georgia, Florida, Colorado, and North Carolina  who have brought to Congress idiots such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boehbert, and Madison Cawthorn.  They have done nothing but stir up hatred and conspiracy theories, and probably participated in January 6.

A Noble Profession That I Admire Is Under Fire

 Teachers are having it tough these days.  Being blamed by the Right for students having to be masked due to the Pandemic, and criticized for teaching that racism is real.  It's no wonder that many are choosing to leave the profession.  For Heaven's sake, let them do their job, it's for the kids!

Call Me A Snob….

But in my opinion, smoking should be outlawed, and every bit of Tobacco on the face of the Earth should be destroyed.  How you could partake of something that has been proven to be bad for your health is beyond me.  Both of my parents are suffering the consequences of smoking, so I know from where I speak.
