Another Neo War

Those who claim that the "neocons" and their Israeli masters are trying to start a war between the US and Iran must not have paid much attention to the news since the mid-1970s. If they had, they might have noticed the Iranians seized our embassy, took Americans hostage, and have been hostile ever since. It is only now that the US has a leader who will not put up with escalating aggression by the mad mullahs of Tehran.

Filled with Hubris

The lay members of the climate cult think man is more powerful than the Lord of All Creation. Al Gore may be a bit more shrewd than that. He and the high priests of man-caused climate change have managed to profit from the climate change lies they tell.

Ever Worsening Hurricanes

Do you remember after Hurricane Katrina that Al Gore assured the world that man-caused global warming would cause storms like Katrina to become the norm, except that the hurricanes would become more frequent and even worse? Thank goodness Al Gore was wrong.

Cutting Off Oil

If Iran or Iranian proxies disrupt the free flow of oil, they are attacking commerce all over the world. This in itself is enough of a reason for the US to go to war.

Free for Everyone

Facebook, Twitter, and Google are all for free speech, so long as the speaker is not conservative. These organizations are monopolies in restraint of speech.

With Due Respect

I like Tucker Carlson and generally agree with him, but he has posited the wrong proposition regarding President Trump taking America to war against Iran. The Shia fanatics that oppress the Iranian people have been at war with America since the fall of the Shah. Iranian proxies, most notably the Sadrists, have killed hundreds of Americans in Iraq. Iranian proxy Hezbollah has murdered Americans in Lebanon. America has only responded a few times to these provocations that amount to open warfare by Iran against the United States. America has ample reason to declaw Iran. The regime of the mad mullahs has been at war with America since its inception. No sane person wants a war, but if the Iranian people can not bring down the theocratic regime that enslaves them, war between the US and Iran is bound to happen.

The Greek Fires

I have read that some of the horrible fires in Greece may have been intentionally set. If so, this is a crime that deserves the harshest punishment.

On "Event Parking"

In a city like Nashville, where there is some sort of concert, performance, public taping, or sporting event virtually every day, it demonstrates a special kind of gall to charge people a premium for so-called "event parking". If these garages charge event parking virtually daily, it really is not "event parking". It is just the exorbitant amount the garages are charging you because they can.

A Genuine Idiot

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a fool. Consequently, anyone who votes for her is a fool. Cortez is telegenic, but that is about her only virtue. She is an anti-Israel Marxist in the city that happens to have the largest Jewish population. An independent or perhaps even a Republican can defeat her in the general election and take a seat in Congress that has been securely Democrat.

Up Our Preparedness

If one addled gunman can murder someone and hold hostages in a grocery for hours, think what dedicated and trained terrorists could have done. Our law enforcement needs to up its game and we each need to increase our own situational awareness.

War Nor Peace

Israel and the Hamas terrorists are shooting at each other, producing death on both sides, but it is not a full-fledged war yet. It serves Iran's interests to keep things stirred up, and that is exactly what Iran is doing. A war is not far away though as Israel will not tolerate soldiers being gunned down by snipers, as just happened, very long.

Our Ally Putin

Just as Stalin worked for a common purpose with FDR, the US and Russia can now work together to defeat international jihad. That does not mean Vladimir Putin is a friend or has our interests at heart. It simply means that the US making common purpose with Putin to defeat a greater evil makes sense.

Antagonists Against Reality

Those blasting Trump fail to recognize that he has produced the strongest economy the United States has ever enjoyed. Not only are shareholders seeing their wealth rise, minority unemployment is at all-time lows. I loved Ronald Reagan, but even Reagan did not accomplish these economic miracles that President Trump has.

Really Want War?

A war with North Korea would kill millions, yet Trump's critics bemoan our President sitting down and talking to them. They say it elevated North Korea's stature. I say it saved lives. A nuclear conflagration with Russia would likely mean the end of human life. I believe talking is better than war.

President Trump's Critics

The Democrats who are attacking our President for talking to Putin were NOT staunchly anti-Russian until Trump became President. The Republicans who are attacking Trump had animus for him from day one. In their eyes, Trump can do no right. The media that assail Trump kissed Obama's ring as he was weakening America. None of Trump's critics are worthy of a moment's consideration. Let them squawk while the President "makes America great again".

Words Beat Warfare

I was delighted to see our President and Russia's leader talking. No US leader could have managed the summit better than Trump did.

Value Every Moment

Each birthday we celebrate necessarily means we will have less in the future. The calendar and the clock only work in one direction and that direction is not toward longer life.

Tell Me Story

What do you do at four in the morning when your three year old wakes up and asks you to tell a story? You tell a very short one, I guess.

Sacha Baron Cohen

I absolutely abhor anyone pretending to be a wounded US veteran. I also fervently believe that if Sasha Baron Cohen did this, that it is firmly in the realm of free speech protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution, that trumps the "Stolen Value Act". Political satire, no matter how obnoxious is clearly an exercise of a protected liberty.

Stealing an Election

Russia did not steal an election. Donald Trump did not steal an election. Hillary Clinton and her supporters in the FBI tried to steal an election and are still trying to cover up their crime.

Superb Supreme Selection

President Trump knocked one out of the park by picking Brett Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh is absolutely brilliant and fair-minded. He interprets the law rather than trying to legislate from the bench.

Our Little Trooper

Someone on the staff at the vet's office said Curry is a "real trooper". She is an amazing fighter with an unbelievable will to live. Curry had a really rough surgery. There seem to be more staples holding her together than there is dog there, but she has made it home. She ate and drank and even let us administer a pill which is always difficult with her. Thank you for your prayers for her.

Pray for Curry

The sweetest little Keeshond girl in the world is having another breast cancer surgery in a few hours. Please pray for her.

An Ice Cube

I left a glass of ice on the porch to let the dogs in the back door. I came back about five minutes later and every cube had melted. I can not imagine how Mom endured the heat when her AC went down. How did people live down here before air conditioning?

Southern Summer Saturday

You are not really down South until it reaches into the nineties on a summer Saturday. You know you are down in Dixie when the thermometer touches three digits. At that point, I yearn to be a Yankee.

The Heat Wave

Why is it that your air conditioner always seems to go out on the hottest day of the year? Ours did and it put Mom in the emergency room.

Her First Fireworks

I watched the fireworks display of the country club across the street with my three year old daughter. She certainly does not understand the magnitude of the sacrifice that brought us our liberty or the blessing of freedom, but she certainly liked the show. She can't wait for tonight's fireworks. I am afraid she might be disappointed on that score.

Blessing of Freedom

Prosperity did not make the United States free. Freedom made the United States prosperous. The freedom to risk is the freedom to fail, but also to succeed in creating wealth unmatched and more fairly and broadly distributed than anywhere else in human history. America expunged slavery over a century and a half ago and since that time has afforded opportunity across the board for those native born and immigrants alike. Nowhere else can someone come from abroad, open an ethnic eatery or a motel and have children that graduate from Ivy League schools and go on to be at the top of their professions. Only the opportunity that liberty creates enables the prosperity we enjoy today. I hope you remember the blessing of liberty today and have a happy Indepence Day.

Prosperity for All

Richard Branson proves you don't have to be smart to be rich. His latest brilliant idea is to have America give cash to the poor to eliminate inequality. I have a better idea. Branson should sell off his assets, including his private island,and give all the proceeds to those less fortunate, or he could just use his jets to transport the homeless to his lavish island paradise where they could luxuriate on Branson's tab.

The American Powerhouse

The United States has sufficient resources and a remaining industrial base to win a trade war against anyone (and everyone, if necessary). We have everything from domestic iron ore and oil to enough rare earth minerals to survive. America will prevail.

Always on Sunday

I write on this forum as a daily blog. This means that even if I have writer's block I have to formulate an idea with cogent thoughts about some topic. The well is somewhat dry today. I hate onion rings but love raw onions. I like white potato but not sweet potato. I like bread but not toast. I like creamy but not crunchy peanut butter. I like orange juice without pulp.
