  • The Professor!

    Today is J.R.R. Tolkien day. If you feel like it, raise a glass to The Professor at 9:00 pm your local time. My boxed set of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings is one of my treasured possessions. The daughter of a friend just told me she is re-reading the books and was… Continue reading

  • Same script, different demographic

    After 9/11 came the rise of allegations of ‘Islamaphobia’ and warnings from the government on all levels to not hate on Muslims otherwise there would be consequences (hate crime laws started getting on the books at the same time).

Of course the Indian government is referring to this as ‘stranded’. How one can be stranded at home is truly beyond me, however. The… Continue reading

  • True journalism along with a pair of brass ones

    Showing true journalism as well as doing what the state of Minnesota should have done, Nick Shirley went to some of the addresses of taxpayer funded Somali ‘daycares’ and other offices and found…. nothing. Just offices with similar names sucking taxpayer dollars to then be funneled out of the country. Watch the whole thing, but… Continue reading

  • I had honestly forgotten that Snoop Dogg was a performer…

    He was making so much bank by being the high guy in the commercials, that his rapping had taken a back seat. But he brought it at the halftime show at the Detroit Lion’s game on Christmas day. YMMV, but to me this was true entertainment and a fantastic halftime show with something for everyone.… Continue reading
