The Straight Skinny

The entire edifice of the DemocRAT Party is built on deceit. If you want a criminal enterprise controlling your destiny, vote DemocRAT. If you want freedom and the ability to plot your own course to tomorrow, go to the polls and vote Republican. Vote like your liberty depends on it because it does! 

An Inflection Point

The looming election will have consequence that reverberate across time. Either we remain a nation of law and order and stand by our Founding Values, or we are set upon by abolish police and prison radicals who want to end the institutions that have governed us for generations. The contrast is a sharp one. If you are for freedom and prosperity vote Republican; otherwise, the disintegration of America begins. 

Our Civic Duty

Even if you think all the candidates are skunks, go out and vote. Just pick the one you think stinks the least. 

First, Restore Order

France is ablaze. It is not the whole country but significant portions of major cities where chaos reigns. It is NOT disaffected "students" roiling the street. It is Arabs and Africans, largely Muslim, doing so, with some recent entries into France among the rioters, but disturbingly also the children and grandchildren of Algerian, Tunisian, Moroccan, and sub-Saharan Africans who established family in France decades ago, some having left colonies of France generations back. yet their progeny are on the street destroying the nation that welcomed their grandparents. Are there Communists and anarchists involved? Certainly, but most "rebels" are Muslims, some acting as opportunists simply taking advantage of a chance to loot, but the more politically aware using it as a demonstration of dominance to show French whose families have always been there that they are no longer of consequence and that Islam is the real power now.  It will take lethal force to calm the street. I do not believe the French government as currently constituted has the will to do what is necessary to end the "revolution". 

Lose Them All?

My hometown Tennessee Titans might not be the worst team in professional football, but it is sadly undeniable that they are among the worst teams ever in the NFL. They did manage to beat a woeful Colts team today, but only managed to generate a single offensive touchdown. That proved to be enough as Daniel Jones played like Daniel Jones, which makes it extremely tough for Indianapolis. 

The South Shakes

The earth will quake today in Knoxville as the football team from the University of Alabama, a dreaded rival, comes rolling in to face the home-standing Volunteers. The Crimson Tide arrive seeing red as they feel (with justification) that the officiating crew took a win away from them against the Georgia Bulldogs. They seem to be the superior team on paper to Tennessee, but playing at home should give the Big Orange a bit of a boost. With each team already suffering a loss, a second defeat will definitely end national and conference title hopes, while the winner can still hope to be in the championship mix. As a lifelong Tennessean who has had friends and a relative play football for the Vols, I hope my side shocks the world and delivers another "L" to the boys from Tuscaloosa. 

Dodgers Are Done

I was rooting for Los Angeles. Mookie Betts is from my hometown. They just could not overcome the Brewers, who are a complete team this year and are hot at the perfect time this season. Hats off to Milwaukee. They earned their wins.
