Goodbye Cousin Johnny

We have lost one of the greats. He was like the characters Gary Cooper portrayed with a quiet courage but none of his heroics were scripted or a fantasy on the silver screen. Every time I look towards the moon I will think of my cousin the astronaut John Young.

Worthless United Nations

Iran is immunized from consequence at the United Nations because a majority of the member states are themselves tyrannical. It is long past time that the US leaves the UN and the UN is forced out of the US. America should join with like-minded democracies to create a new multilateral body to resolve disputes and promote peace in a manner that respects and protects the rights of the individual worldwide.

New Iranian Revolution

The United States should support the Iranian people in their effort to oust the corrupt and murderous mullahs who subjugate them while spreading terror around the world. America's Central Intelligence Agency should be channeling lethal weapons to those willing to fight their oppressors in Iran. Make Persia great again! Depose the theocratic tyrants.

Bannon Versus Trump

I imagine ninety-nine percent of the world has never even heard of Steve Bannon.

Not Nuclear Winter

Our Little Ice Age is not nuclear winter, but it is plenty cold enough. It has not killed millions, but it has already proven deadly to several people. I can not wait for spring.

National Championship Game

I am glad a Southeastern Conference team will win the national title. I think it would be nice if the winner of the national championship game would play one more game against undefeated Central Florida so there could be no doubt who the national champion is.

The Bowl Season

Amateurs playing football for a scholarship or the joy of the game tend to be much more pleasurable to watch than the pampered professional players who are paid millions of dollars to play. I have not seen many college players kneeling during the anthem or demonstrating a grudge against their own country the way a number of pro players have.
