The Shutdown Ends

Is it just a coincidence the United States Senate finally voted to end the government shutdown after the election? It is almost as if the DemocRATS maintained their unified stance only to win votes. It has always been DemocRATS that in past shutdowns had pushed to reopen government while Republicans were the recalcitrant ones. Oh, how the worm turned when an election was at stake. 

Made It Home!

Thanks to all for their prayers and support during my mother's recent health scare. She fought like a lioness and has made it home after twenty days of inpatient struggle. You are all angels for your intercession, and thank goodness, she is not an "angel" yet with her morale and fighting spirit more or less intact.

Change in Weather

Snow flurries may strike my hometown of Nashville, Tennessee. It will not be the "great blizzard" of 2025, but it is early for our first flakes of the season. You should protect the plants that will freeze and die on our twenty-six degree day. Stay warm Tennesseans! 

Just Snap Benefits

Folks in America should not starve. Nothing says though that churches and individuals can't fill in the gaps as government aid temporarily is curtailed. We have plenty here and should gladly share. 

Oakland Football Raiders

The Raiders used to be one of the most respected and even feared teams in professional football. In Oakland, the franchise was regarded as tough and even dirty, but they just won baby. The club moved and enjoyed some success in Los Angeles. Eventually, they took the gamble to move to Las Vegas. The Raiders seem pretty woeful now, managing just three points against arch-rival Denver. Maybe the silver and black lost some mystique moving to different cities. 

Not Conciliatory- Confrontational

The new Mayor of New York ran as something of a uniter who was going to lower costs for everyone in the Big Apple. In the event, he used his victory speech to tell those who had been stupid enough to vote for him that he is their new"Muslim" overlord. Many warned that this insouciant Muslim Marxist would put it to New Yorkers, and he will. 

Dark Day America

In the many places education has failed America, DemocRATS have just triumphed over good and common sense. New York City even elected a Marxist Muslim. These misplaced votes will inflict grievous damage on the places Leftism has prevailed. Yesterday was not a good day for Trump, but it was a catastrophic day for the United States.
