Other actors are so connected to a role they played but maybe not as much as today’s Sunday Spotlight. Lieutenant Dan has been with us since he came to life in the timeless movie Forest Gump over twenty-five years ago. Lieutenant Dan was a fearless officer in Vietnam who lost his legs to a bombing. Upset, he was saved by Forest Gump, Dan went on to make the most of his life.

A Great Week for Trump’s MAGA Court
Elections have consequences, and although Trump only spent one term in the White House, his impact is immense. With the three Justices he put on the Supreme Court, he changed American life’s dynamics. As this SCOTUS term closes, the decisions are coming down with a definite Conservative tone. The Liberals are apoplectic. It’s a beautiful … Read more
Move Over Squad, The Quad is in Town
The Squad has been making noise and pushing the Democrat Party Left for four years. Led by AOC, this group of Congresspeople has been loud but ineffective. They have negatively influenced the party and, more importantly, the country. They garner media attention, but none of them have passed any significant legislation. We can only hope they are a passing fad.`
Joe, Get Your Head Out of the Sand
Joe Biden is habitually taking four-day weekends at his Delaware beach house. The good thing about this scene is that he can do no damage to the country on a weekend vacation. The bad thing is that nobody else in his administration does anything while he is away, which is good and bad.
Does Anyone Have a Plan for Electric Vehicles?
I do not want one and will fight tooth and nail before being forced into one. We have two full-size SUVs and one Class C Motor Home. We pull a boat with one vehicle, and the other transports many golfers and their clubs/carts. The usage makes a full-size a necessity for both.
When Does This Protesting End?
It has been weeks since the Supreme Court memo about the upcoming Roe Vs. Wade decision was leaked, and the demonstrations began outside the homes of conservative justices. There is a law in the books that no level of authority is heeding.
January 6th? How About November 8th?
The long-awaited January 6 Committee Hearings have been a bust. If this were a made-for-TV mini-series, it would be canceled. In a way, it was when NBC affiliates cut away from the hearing to air a PGA event. The quiet of golf on TV was far more palatable than Liz Cheney committing political suicide to satisfy her angst for Trump.
We Need to Keep the Pills in the Bottle
I began a new adventure this week. I am co-hosting a radio talk show with my friend Liz Gabert once a month, and the show is called SW Meets NE…On the Right! Liz is a proud native of Texas, and I am a true blue New Englander.
Biden Speaks (lies) to AFL-CIO. Facts Matter
Joe Biden spoke to the AFL-CIO this week in what can only be called a stump speech. It was a campaign speech complete with volume changes from whispers to yelling. It was big on style but weak on content. His speech was filled with lies and was both embarrassing and insulting.
Time to Pull the Plug on Progressives
Progressive in politics is a misnomer. Progressives have no interest in enhancing the state of our nation but rather in tearing it down and rebuilding it in their image. This philosophy is why Progressives aim to eradicate the country’s history and repaint it in as bad a light as possible.
Why is Illegal Okay
We have a series of committee hearings taking place in Washington with the sole purpose of destroying former President Donald Trump from ever running for President again. If they somehow garner enough support to charge him criminally, that would be a bonus.
You Flaming Hypocrites
This witch-hunt angers me, and I cannot give it another minute of my time. I hope you will not either. There was one fatality of the riot, the insurrection, of the Capitol on January 6th. It was an unarmed woman who a Capitol Police Officer shot.
Sunday Spotlight: A Voice of Reason
This week’s Sunday Spotlight shines on Matthew McConaughey. We know McConaughey for his long acting career, including an Academy Award for Best Actor in the movie Dallas Buyers Club. He has been the mesmerizing voice in ads for Lincoln Motors. He has a voice with the tone, tenor, and canter that makes you want to listen to … Read more
You Have Released a Whirlwind
Here is the quote of exactly what Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said two years ago on the steps of the United States Supreme Court. “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price,” Schumer, who was then minority leader, said … Read more
First Johnny Depp, Now The Dems
When they first announced the Depp trial would be eight weeks, I thought it was a report from Babylon Bee. But no, it was accurate, and somehow cable news networks elevated a defamation trial between Hollywood celebrities to a news item worthy of interrupting regular programming.
Dems Turn Up the Gas. Gaslight That is.
Gaslight (verb). To cause (a person) to doubt their sanity through psychological manipulation. Gaslighting is a technique used by people who fail to meet expectations to distract from reality. This action is taking place at all levels of government but is most effective at State and Federal levels because those get the media attention. That … Read more
Can Anyone Defend NYC Drug Campaign
I saw the picture of the PSA drug poster currently being displayed on NYC subway cars, and I was disgusted. I cannot believe how low we have sunk as a society. Like we wake to a new record high gas prices, we also awake to the bar lowered by some government agency or party.
We Can No Longer be Satisfied with Failure of Leadership
We can do better, and we have to do better. We continue to put people into positions of authority or elect people to public office that are not qualified to perform their jobs. The Peter Principle is a concept in the business world where people are moved up the ranks and promoted to their highest level of incompetence.
Sunday Spotlight: God Save the Queen
Each Sunday, I take a step away from daily politics and focus on someone who has done extraordinary things or who we may need to know a little better. This week’s focus is on Queen Elizabeth.
The Mixed Signals Are Getting More Twisted
Rising gas prices are good, as is low weekly job creation. The President thinks that both indicators are favorable signs that his economic policies are working to recover the economy. He is either delirious, ignorant of Economics 101, or was a classmate of AOC. By his sinking approval numbers, not many are buying what Biden … Read more
