"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan
Biological males are winning in girls sports from softball to track & field, Governor Walz going to South Carolina to talk 2028 and Happy # 82 to Joe Namath.
Maybe ‘demos’ don't watch MSNBC anymore: Let me confess that I don't watch MSNBC. Normally I watch the tweets that make it to X or the internet. The latest news from the network is that it is changing lineups, sort of like the baseball team trying to figure out who is going to put the…
I thought that they didn't need the money: As I recall, NPR and PBS have argued for years that federal money is a small part of their budget. Well, I guess not because they are looking for another district judge to issue an opinion against the Trump administration.
We remember May 30: On May 30, 1922, The Lincoln Memorial was dedicated. It was 57 years after Lincoln died. Indy 500: The Indianapolis 500 is always a real treat.It all got started in 1911 when Ray Harround came in first.
They’d be better off watching John Wayne movies: The good news is that Democrats have figured out that they have a “man” problem. The bad news is that they think that spending $20 million on some ads or programs will get the men back. Maybe they are listening to Governor…
Guest: Bill Katz, the editor of Urgent Agenda. We will discuss the Iran-US talks, the ongoing discussions between Ukraine and Russia. Trump polls are creeping up. The Dems and the male vote. Harvard vs Trump. Plus other stories
Hope and change is over: Who is going to sit down with former President Obama and tell him that it's over? He is irrelevant. He made history but moving on is in the future. We saw the truth of that fading hope and change in the last campaign when the former president….
Guest: George Rodriguez, South Texas conservative spokesman. We will discuss the Cornyn vs Paxton primary and its impact on the Texas GOP. The Democrats are trying to win the "male vote". Obama is fading. Memories of Memorial Day.
The Yugo Democrats: Who remembers the Yugo? It was a Yugoslavian car that had some real brand image problems. It quickly faded. In fact, I recall test driving one, and it’s easy to see why it was called the worst car in history.
In fact….
No crying in baseball until you hear about Harvey: Every year this Harvey Haddix anniversary makes me wonder what the Gods of baseball had in mind when they let this happen. This is the definition of a heartbreak, bad luck, a Shakespeare drama or something that Rod Sterling wrote:
Trying to put the band together: As Ruy Texeira pointed out after the 2024 election, VP Harris tried, with lots of help from former President Obama, to put the band back together. I’m talking about that emerging majority band known as the Obama coalition. In fact, they tried…
"The Great Bambino": Babe Ruth hit # 714 on this day in 1935. He was playing for the Boston Braves after being released by the Yankees. I am not even sure if he played another game for the Braves after hitting this homer. It's a shame that he didn't play his last game as a Yankee. He died in 1948 from cancer. 1941 and The streak: Joe DiMaggio hit in his 11th consecutive game. He went 1-for-4 against Hall of Famer Lefty Grove.

“Seven miles down the road, two crooks died a long time ago.
For most other criminals, that could have been the end of the story. But Bonnie and Clyde live on. In the imagination of the public, Hollywood, haunted descendants and here on Main Street in this tiny town about an hour east of Shreveport; the legacy of their two-year crime spree endures 80 years after their bloody deaths on May 23, 1934.
It is here in this northern Louisiana town of 979 that the son of Ted Hinton, a Dallas County deputy who was in the posse that killed Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, has set up shop to tell the story of how the couple and their gang lived and died. His Bonnie & Clyde Ambush Museum shows how the two robbed banks and killed people, loved each other and died young.
Boots Hinton, the son, was born not long before his father helped kill the two outlaws on State Highway 154, which remains remote today.
He said there are two big reasons people latch on to Bonnie and Clyde.
“One, it’s a love story that would put Romeo and Juliet to shame,” he said.
“The other is guts and bullets — the blood.””
I just hope that people remember that Bonnie & Clyde were actually ruthless killers. They shot and killed law enforcement officers, as well as innocent people or bystanders. It’s hard to see anything romantic about that but the young couple still generates a lot of curiosity.
Thank you Dean, but….: The Biden health cover up is falling apart one interview at a time. The latest is Democrat congressman Dean Phillips who claims to have signaled the alarm sometime ago. This is his take on the story:
We remember May 24: "Hey Mr. Tambourine Man": We remember Robert Zimmerman who was born in Minnesota on this day in 1941. We know him as Bob Dylan. The bridge: It took 14 years, and sadly 27 lives, but The Brooklyn Bridge opened on this day in 1883. It connected Brooklyn and New York City and designed by John A. Roebling. Baseball under the lights: The first night game was on this day in 1935: The Reds beat the Phillies 2-1 before 25,000 happy home team fans! Tigers '84: Back in 1984, the Detroit Tigers got off to a 35-5 start. That's winning 87% of your first 40 games. The Tigers ended up with 104 wins. They beat KC in the ALCS and defeated San Diego in 5 games in the World Series. Great team. P.S. You can listen to my show.

Elvis Presley was riding very high but got a draft notice in the US mail in 1957. Elvis ended up in Germany for a couple of years but no one missed him on the radio because of all of the material that RCA had in the tank.
President Chester Arthur, and Governor of New York & future President Grover Cleveland, presided over the ceremony. It was the largest suspension bridge ever built to that date.

Bob Dylan is into 80-something territory these days!
Dylan was a great composer. He wrote some of the best songs of our generation. His songs are a big part of the soundtrack of the last 60 years! As far as I'm concerned, his best LP is the Greatest Hits from the 1960's. It includes all of his hit singles, as well as his version of "Hey Mr. Tambourine Man".
Guest: Allan Wall, blogger......we will discuss the trends in border crossings---what is Trump doing different? A tax on remittances. Violence in Mexico City. Biden health coverup.
If the autopen could talk...: Who knew that we'd be talking so much about an autopen? Nevertheless we are, because that autopen was doing a lot more than signing the president's name on routine letters.
Who knew that we’d be talking so much about an autopen? Nevertheless we are, because that autopen was doing a lot more than signing the president’s name on routine letters. The “autopen” in the closet is suddenly the latest Biden scandal, as John Kass wrote:
And the question the nation keeps asking: Who in the Democratic government knew of Biden’s growing senility and covered it up? Besides the corrupt left wing corporate media, of course.
Who used the White House autopen to allow some 15 million illegal migrants into the country? And who used that autopen to pardon the corrupt Biden Family Inc. and enablers? Whoever held that pen held the presidency.
Who gave the order to use the Biden autopen?
Was it Biden who had sold his honor and the White House to China? And just who held that autopen?
We need answers immediately.
Yes, I want some answers. That autopen became the presidency, and who knows who turned on the switch?
Once upon a time, we had Mrs. Edith Wilson, who carried the documents to her husband President Woodrow Wilson, who was recovering from a stroke. He apparently signed and handed off the signed work to the assistants. Some call her “the first female president” because VP Thomas Marshall was unwilling to assert his constitutional prerogatives.
Today, we have the autopen and a lot of speculation as to who controlled it. It was certainly a busy machine to say the least. To be fair to the autopen, the blame lies elsewhere and that’s what Congress needs to find out.
So let’s pass the budget and start the inquiries. I need to know and you do too.
We remember May 23: Crime files: Bonnie & Clyde were killed on this day in 1934. It happened in Sailes, LA. They were ambushed by a police force and killed instantly. Music files: We remember Rosemary Clooney who was born in Maysville, Kentucky, on this day in 1928. She died in 2002. Music files: We remember Helen O'Connell who was born in Lima, Ohio, on this day in 1920. She died in 1993.

RIP Jake: It’s hard to feel anything but contempt for Jake Tapper. How do you go from being a cheerleader for Trump Derangement Syndrome to suddenly saying that the White House was lying to him about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline? To….
We remember May 22: "Holmes magic": We remember that Mr Doyle was born on this day in 1859. Elementary Dr Watson! Beatles # 1 hits: “Ticket to ride” hit # 1 this week in the US, the UK and lots of other countries. It was a great vocal performance by John & Paul. George played a super guitar. Ringo was unique with his drums. P.S. You can listen to my show. If you like our posts, please look for ”Donate” on the right column of the blog page.
Maybe we need to create another West Virginia: As I remember, West Virginia was created back during The Civil War. We may have to break up Virginia again, because it’s starting to look a lot like Oregon or Washington, or one blue urban area surrounded by a bunch of red counties unhappy…
As I remember, West Virginia was created back during The Civil War. We may have to break up Virginia again, because it’s starting to look a lot like Oregon or Washington, or one blue urban area surrounded by a bunch of red counties unhappy with the direction of the state government.
Some of us remember when President George W. Bush carried Virginia in 2004. Then it changed, and now it looks a lot like the Democrats may have something to celebrate in November. Let’s take a look:
Virginia Republicans are bracing for November with a growing sense of doom.
The GOP already faced a tough climate in this year’s elections thanks to tech billionaire Elon Musk’s war on the state’s robust federal workforce. Then came a bitter, intraparty feud over Republicans’ lieutenant governor candidate. Now, some Republicans are privately expressing concerns about the viability of their gubernatorial nominee, Winsome Earle-Sears.
‘With the demographics of Richmond, in an off year with the Republican White House, it’s going to be tough,’ said longtime Virginia Republican strategist Jimmy Keady. ‘To be a Republican to win in Virginia, you have to run a very good campaign. You’ve got to have [tailwinds] and the Democratic candidate’s got to make a mistake.’
Virginia Republicans always knew this would be a challenging election year. In the gubernatorial race, Democrat Abigail Spanberger is a well-positioned candidate with a record of winning competitive races.
So it looks blue this November in Virginia. I guess that’s what turning into a bedroom community for federal workers will do to you.
The other point to consider is that these Virginia elections have a lot to do with the candidates, as is true in most states. Back in 2021, newcomer Glenn Youngkin defeated Mr. Establishment incumbent Terry McAuliffe by 63,000 votes. In that race, Youngkin proved to be an excellent candidate, but he can’t run for reelection and keep it red.
So it’s early, and maybe Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears will turn things around. Honestly, I thought that she was an outstanding candidate with VP potential down the road. So far she hasn’t caught on, but time is on her side. It seems like a winnable race to me, but demographics are destiny as someone said. Lots of federal workers “saving” their jobs may break the camel’s back. I’m not sure what a Democrat governor in Virginia can do to save their jobs, but that’s politics.
On this day in 1955, Chuck Berry recorded "Maybellene" and the rest is history. Chuck Berry has a very special place in the history of rock. He is one of the legendary composers and guitarists. Where would rock be without Chuck Berry? Berry went on to have many more hits. He also influenced The Beatles and The Rolling Stones of the next generation of rock. It all started for Berry with the wonderful "Maybellene".
Impeach Jill for being a lousy wife: We wish former President Biden the best. I pray for his recovery. Honestly, I hope that Jill plans to go to confession and admit that she loved the Title of First Lady a lot more than being a devoted wife. My guess is there a lot of ladies in the…
We wish former President Biden the best. I pray for his recovery. Honestly, I hope that Jill plans to go to confession and admit that she loved the title of First Lady a lot more than being a devoted wife. My guess is there a lot of ladies in the country who can’t believe her disregard for Joe Biden’s health and well-being. Again, she loved the title and staff.
The 82-year-old former president was diagnosed Friday after doctors found a “small nodule” on his prostate during a medical exam earlier this month — with the cancer cells having spread to the bone, his spokesman revealed Sunday.
His team said the cancer had been graded a Gleason score of 9, suggesting his form was among the most aggressive.
A handful of medical experts were quick to question how the former president could be diagnosed at such a late stage — especially given that prostate cancer can be detected early with routine bloodwork, which is recommended for men over the age of 50.
“It is inconceivable that this was not being followed before he left the Presidency,” Dr. Howard Formman said in a post on X.
By the way, I am a man over 50 who gets that checkup and the dreaded colonoscopy, if you know what I mean. Thankfully, I’m clean but my doctor is always talking about the risk of prostate cancer. It comes with age, as he reminds me.
Apparently, we are supposed to believe that President Biden never had signs of cancer or that his doctors just didn’t tell him. I guess that’s possible but not the kind of thing that passes the smell test.
All eyes have to be on Mrs. Biden and the family. They’ve been living off Joe for their whole lives. He brought in the money for a certain son and nice travel for a certain wife. It was fun as long as it lasted, and the hell with Joe!
So the story is over. We can’t touch Mrs. Biden because impeaching a First Lady for being a bad wife is not in the Constitution. The “cover up” just got more complicated. You can’t subpoena Jill, and Hunter got pardoned. However, it’s hard to believe that this is how little they valued their father and husband.
As we remember Robin Gibb's life, we are reminded of the brothers' contribution to pop music.
They started singing when they were kids. They had hit records in Australia when Barry was 17 and Robin & Maurice were 14.
They became international superstars in 1967 and dominated the charts with 6 consecutive # 1 songs, from "How deep is your love" in 1977 to "Love you inside out" in the summer of '79.
They also wrote and produced albums for Barbra Streisand, Kenny Rogers, Dionne Warwick & Diana Ross.
To my knowledge, The Bee Gees are the only group with a hit in 4 decades. They charted on the international charts from 1966 to Maurice's death in 2003.
The brothers sold over 200 million records and the Gibb songbook is recognized all over the world. They leave a pop musical legacy second only to Lennon-McCartney.
Another one of those 19th century American stories. Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis joined forces in 1873 and created the work pants that we now call "blue jeans". And so we have women wearing "blue jeans". Thank you Levi & Jacob!
