Pete Rose died the other day. (So too, did Kris Kristofferson, another great.) “Charlie Hustle,” as he came to be known was one of the all-time greats in America’s Sport. How great? This great: A switch hitter, he was the MLB’s all-time leader in hits (4,256), games played (3,562), at-bats (14,053), singles (3,215) and outs […]
How Not to Be a Saint
[Editor’s note: As has been our custom lo, these many years, Gail and I welcome unsolicited essays from our readers. Especially insightful ones which are timely and well written.

Secrets
So, Brendan put out a story about a guy with an impossible death scenario where the guy commits suicide twice. Here’s another hard to believe story from the Smithsonian. *** “When Secret Service agent Paul Landis spotted an intact bullet resting on the ledge of a seat in the back of the presidential limousine on the […]
On Governance and Christianity
This one has been a long time in coming. Truth be told, it’s going to be a work in progress. As you all know, things are crazy in the world today. It might be because we are going through a “Fourth Turning.” It might also be because God’s judgment is upon us. We won’t know […]
The Marine Corps Way
When I was a little girl, my dad used to get me up with the Marines to do exercises. We would then go into the kitchen where I would stand on a little stool and prepare us breakfast. I remember flinching the first time some of the bacon grease splattered on me. My father used […]
The Deep State Strikes Again
Well, they’re nothing if not persistent. They’re also freaking desperate. How do we know? Because they wouldn’t be pulling this sh!t. <—He also wrote a book asking the Iranians to assassinate Trump: https://apnews.com/article/trump-assassination-attempt-suspect-ukraine-f76ed09f256f6bd21727a10901d92af7 You know who I’m talking about.

Another “Conspiracy Theory” Bites the Dust
There’s this meme going around (dozens actually) about cats and the Haitians who love to eat them. They’re all quite hilarious if you ask me. In my humble opinion (this one to the left), in particular is the best. Why? It’s funny but even more, it encapsulates what is wrong with our nation at present. […]
About Last Night
Personally, I think Trump won, hands down. Kamala was over-prepped with bromides and Trump was righteously angry. (See Helleniscope‘s perceptive analysis of it here: https://www.helleniscope.com/2024/09/11/trump-was-focused-and-angry-lying-kamala-was-phony-and-rehearsed/) <—Nothing to see here, please move along. I also believe that ABC/Disney did themselves no favors. They were positively horrible. The mask of “objectivity” came off once and for all. […]
A Little Housekeeping Matter
While I’m thinking about it, please be sure to erase your posts before you trash them, as some wind up in TRASH by accident. If they look fine to me, I’ll post it thinking it’s in trash due to a glitch in the system which happens. If you erase the comment and then trash it, I’ll […]
And Now: More Russian Interference!
It looks like the Democrat Party is getting their excuses ready when their eminently unqualified diversity hire and her emotional support animal bite the dust in November. Enter stage right: Russia Collusion Hoax 2.0! Our esteemed Attorney General, Merrick Garland, says that those wascally Wussians are back up to their old tricks again. According to […]
