A Football School

The University of Alabama's men's basketball squad had a great run this season. They advanced to the Final Four for the first time in the history of the program, before they were thrashed by defending national champion Connecticut, from a school that is the Pabst Blue Ribbon of state universities. I will bet U Conn could not have duplicated that effort against the Tide on the football field. 

Vision to Prosper

Joe Biden clearly possesses the "vision to prosper"  by whatever means in his own life and the lives of his family members but lacks the ability or even the desire to translate that more broadly to the nation and the American People. The Biden family members around Joe certainly gained from their connection to Joe but that did not help work-a-day folks here in the slightest. In fact, the venality of the Biden clan seems to have harmed the country but greatly benefited some East European oligarchs and the leaders of Red China. 

Know Your Friends

Biden was sorta, kinda a Zionist until it exacted what he perceived to be a cost, that being support for DemocRATS among Arab and Muslim American voters, who like their brethren in the Middle East, largely want to see Israel erased from the world and the  Jewish People murdered or subjugated. Crooked, fading Joe could have stood by his principles if he had any and discouraged further terrorism the world over by declaring loudly and boldly that America stands foursquare with the Jewish State in her efforts to stamp out terrorism and recover the Israelis still being held hostage in Gaza, but Biden didn't do that. He stabbed the only real democracy in the region in the back, the only place that shares anything remotely like American values in the back at the time of their greatest peril. The Biden regime continues to empower the Islamic Republic of Iran at the same time Netanyahu is publicly slapped down for trying to save Israel. It is a tragedy aid workers and civilians are killed but all the responsibility for a shooting war even happening redounds solely on the murderous terrorists who Pearl Harbored the Jewish State on October 7, 2023. Biden should have laid the blame only there, demanded Hamas capitulate, and that the captives held in Gaza be immediately released and that the Terrorists capitulate unconditionally. Biden is proving himself to be a foe of freedom and an enemy to Jews. 

More Professional Policing

Some members of law enforcement in the United States lack sufficient training. When deputies shoot a girl running away from her kidnapper numerous times, it is a reflection of gross incompetence. You end up with a hysteria when one officer has discharged his weapon, and the rest join in, without any legitimate reason for any firing in the first place. Then, you just had a mentally distressed teen threatening to harm himself after locking himself in a bathroom with a knife. You don't deconflict that situation by breaking into the room and opening fire on an unstable person. These events could largely be averted with more thorough training. 

Cataclysm Without Warning

A massive earthquake struck Taiwan yesterday leaving at least seven dead. That sort of event is largely unpredictable. Construction codes may create buildings where occupants have a better chance of survival, but even if people were warned that a huge tremor was about to strike, more folks might be killed in the resultant panic to escape structures by crushing or even falls, that the advance knowledge of the quake about to happen might cause more harm than good. 

A Tornado Warning

In areas prone to tornadoes, regulations should be passed requiring trailer parks to have storm shelters, perhaps one for every four occupied units, wherein the cost of initial installation and later maintenance could be split between the owner of the facility and the tenants. All too often deaths that could otherwise have been prevented when these storms hit mobile home parks, but residents had no safe(r) place to go. The bit of advance warning weather detection technology gives us now in many cases is great but meaningless if no shelter is available in a particularly exposed community. 

Why Burn Bibles?

In a town near Nashville, the city I was born in and where I have spent the majority of my life, some heathen burned a trailer full of Bibles, at Easter! What sort of devil would do this? What message in Holy Script did this moron find offensive? Is nothing sacred anymore?
