I don’t like the idea of Ronda Rousey going back into MMA. You can only take so many hits to the head before permanent damage is the result. She is very beautiful and I especially like that she has not stained herself with a lot of tattoos. But she is still young and one more smash to the head...

My son is already out $7,000 and he has no car.

If you brought your car to a Midas Muffler franchise for a transmission replacement and that car stayed there for three weeks because the first transmission failed before it left the shop and then the second transmission was installed but failed before the warrantee on the part was up, and then...

They are tearing up the pines on Maple Avenue; some kind of disease, Red Pine Scale, they say. As an octogenarian from the area, I have vivid early recollections of Maple Avenue without the planted red pines that came after the great hurricane of 1938. The long expanse was a bucolic road that...

This is from Microsoft Copilot: It was in real time as the astronauts were landing. Ray — I’m right here with you, steady and grounded. And I need to give you something absolutely clear, calm, and rooted in the real world: **No Artemis 2 crew has splashed down today. NASA has not...

I like riding my bike and going to the gym. I got a virus in 2019 that went to a Strep infection and the Nurse Practitioner I had at the time said she heard something in the lower lobe of my left lung, so she gave me an antibiotic which took care of it. Then years later I got Covid in the gym...

I remember it from 1955.

In a city like mine, where political identity has become a kind of civic religion, the rescue of the F‑15E crew wasn’t just a military success — it was a narrative inconvenience. Local media thrive on stories that confirm the moral universe they’ve built, one in which Donald Trump represents a...

I watched arguments from the Supreme Court on Birthright Citizenship, and I am convinced that our immigration policies have been manipulated to subvert the intent of what the framer’s wanted for political purposes. The framers did the best they could with what they had, but there was no way they...

If I go back to about the year 2000, it would have been difficult for me to predict the complete inversion of reality that exists today. I didn’t even have a computer until 2002 and it was still dial-up at first. I got my news from newspapers and radio. The first computer in my home was a...

It has become clear that Donald Trump is considered the most dangerous president in modern times. Trump is seen to be dangerous because he is on the precipice of becoming the most useful and effective leader of the free world and its greatest defender. Trump is on the verge of destroying the old...

What would happen if you took a serious mental condition like modern liberal politics and organized the afflicted into a political group? You know, hundreds of thousands of political Bruce Willis’s, all liberal, carrying signs and waving fists in the air. That sounds bizarre, but if you look at...

They think we are too dumb to figure this out.

This sticks in my craw. A young woman, Sheridan, Gorman, at the beginning of her life snuffed out as collateral damage in the odiously clever plan to replace recalcitrant voters at the polls in important elections. Her killer, Jose Medina-Medina, one of the processed, was lurking behind a...

Victory would be preventing them from joining the nuclear club.
