Truth, Fiction, or just Comedy?

1 Comment

LOL, all the goings on in America today would be so funny  if it weren’t all true. The daily news is absolutely astonishing, and we as Patriotic conservative Americans seemed to be able to only sit by and watch it all happen. I usually rely on certain news sites I watch or from articles sent to me by a few regular contributors. However, it has become such that there is so much “news items” everyday, I find it difficult to keep up with it all . So in an effort to absorb all the events and comments I shall simply give you a potpourri of today’s “news,” But try and keep your sense of humor, I had a hard time myself with some of it..

Brady Labeled ‘Racist’ for Winning Super Bowl During Black History Month

Welcome to Biden’s America, where you are “racist” if you win a Super Bowl as a white man during Black History Month.

Read that again. This is really the level of ignorance we are dealing with.  After Tampa Bay Buccaneers spanked the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on Sunday, the trolls were triggered and began calling out Bucs quarterback Tom Brady as racist, and having white privilege.

The Tatum Report:

Brady is no stranger to controversy and last week in ‘USA Today’ Nancy Armour attacked him for not only being white, but for his apparent support for Donald Trump.

It won’t come as much of a surprise that Twitter users are calling his victory over Patrick Mahomes “racist” … because it happened during Black History Month.

Tom Brady beating a black QB during black history month just feels racist

Something about Tom Brady winning a Super Bowl during Black History Month just feels racist.

Biden Picks Mahomes, Then Brady Leads Bucs to Blowout Victory

Joe Biden loses again…which is quite the trend. Seems the only time he can win is if there is cheating involved.

On Sunday night, Biden was asked whom he would rather receive a pass from: Chiefs’ Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, or Buccaneers’ Tom Brady. He chose Mahomes…

Jemele Hill Cries About NFL ‘Blackballing’ Kaepernick After Super Bowl Ad

Boo-hoo! Social justice warriors are ALWAYS crying about something. Now, former ESPN commentator Jemele Hill is whining about the NFL and how they “forgot” to mention that they “blackballed” Colin Kaepernick during a Super Bowl ad announcing $250 million for social justice issues.

The NFL aired a commercial just before halftime that stated “football is a microcosm of America” and proceeded to show images of civil rights activists and NFL players with the hashtag “#InspireChange.”  Pro Football used to be a microcosm of America, and maybe college still is, but Pro? No way. The whole NFL organization makes me want to throw up when I think about where they going. The Comish himself is a racist pig

Over 1 Million Jobs are Toast with Biden’s $15 Minimum Wage

A minimum wage increase SOUNDS like a good idea on paper. However, that’s all it is. It is not an idea that will work out for Americans in real life. We are not a socialist country.

Here’s the thing, if minimum wage increases, then there are a few things that will happen:

1. People will lose their jobs

2. Employees will receive less hours

3. Inflation

If businesses are forced to pay employees more, then those businesses will have to lay off employees and/or schedule their employees for less hours in order to make ends meet. In addition, the products and services being provided will cost more because the company needs to make more money in order to pay their employees more and buy the products they need in order to keep their business running.

Come on people, get serious. Companies are in business to make a profit. Raise any of their overhead e.g., rent, utilities, wages, advertising, etc. they MUST raise the price of whatever they are selling, and if the current price is at it’s max, and cannot be raised, they must close their doors. Economics 101

And now the best for last

Gov. DeSantis on Maskless Super Bowl Photo: ‘How the Hell am I Going to Drink a Beer?’

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gave an invisible finger to liberals on Sunday when he attended the Super Bowl without a mask. Not only did he go maskless, but he also gave an epic explanation as to why he didn’t wear one.

The Republican governor said on Monday, “Someone said, ‘Hey, you were at the Super Bowl without a mask. But how the hell am I going to be able .. but how the hell am I going to be able to drink a beer with a mask on? Come on. I had to watch the Bucs win.”

Of course they don’t mention that he is in an enclosed executive suite. But I loved his reply. He’s simply a normal guy who expects to have a beer at a football game. We love our Gov!

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting!!!  Americans Favorite sport? Really? I’d rather sit by my pool and watch the grass grow.

LOS ANGELES, CA – JULY 23: Los Angeles Dodgers kneel during the National Anthem prior to a MLB baseball game on Opening Day at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Thursday, July 23, 2020. (Photo by Keith Birmingham/MediaNews Group/Pasadena Star-News via Getty Images).
                          How about this one for a reality check?

As a sports fan, it pains me to say this: I watched not one inning of the 2020 World Series. This revelation is not some preening, pin-a-medal-on-me political puffery — “Those sports ball players are annoying, America-hating commies, so I’m not watching” — but rather the embarrassed confession of a discouraged, disillusioned former fanatic who has come to realize that my erstwhile sports obsessions are really not all that important.

Apparently, I’m far from alone. The Tampa Bay Rays’ instant classic walk-off Game 4 win drew 8.95 million viewers, the second-lowest viewership in World Series history — ahead of only Game 3’s 8.2 million. For contrast, remember that only four short years ago, Game 7 between the Cubs and Indians peaked at 49.9 million viewers. Game 7 of the classic 1986 Mets-Red Sox series had an estimated viewership as high as 60 million.

The ratings numbers have attached themselves to an anvil and tossed the anvil off a cliff into a black hole. It’s a shocking decline. MLB is not alone in seeing its appeal become more selective, Spinal Tap-style. The NFL’s once-vaunted viewership juggernaut is shedding passengers at an alarming pace; the league is left celebrating a 33 percent decline year-over-year for the most recent Sunday Night game, because it represented a slight uptick compared to the rest of this season’s dismal numbers.

And the NBA?  Woof.  Game 3 of the 2020 NBA Finals averaged 5.9 million viewers. For comparison, Michael Jordan’s last game as a Bull, the clinching Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals, averaged almost 36 million viewers. Overall, the Lakers-Heat series dropped 51 percent from the 2019 numbers and 67 percent from 2018.

To extend the Spinal Tap metaphor, the NBA is a few BLM woke bombs away from second billing behind Puppet Show. Let’s be fair: There are mitigating circumstances. Nothing about this year is normal. MLB shoehorned a 60-game season into a pandemic-ravaged sports calendar. The NBA played its Finals at a time of year when teams are normally in training camp. The NFL has clung to something resembling a normal schedule, but the mostly empty stadiums and piped-in crowd noise have lent a surreal, off-putting atmosphere to the proceedings.

Personally, I’ve found it hard to care about sports when the very future of the Republic seems to be at stake, and every day’s headlines bring some fresh hell to torment and terrorize my fragile psyche. Sport becomes far less relevant in times like these, even as simple escapism. There’s no escaping a pervading sense of doom. But after the election, will my apathy magically dissipate, much like I expect the pandemic panic to do? Will I re-engage my former passion for pro sports? It’s entirely possible. A return to normalcy in 2021 would likely include a reboot of a casual interest in the exploits of overgrown man-children and a willingness to set aside their silly political posturing. A post-election de-weaponization of the virus will allow us all to relax, breathe and reclaim life’s simple pleasures. I hope so, anyway.

One final piece of advice: Don’t wait for woke-ism to recede from pro sports before re-engaging. Believe it or not, it is possible to set all that aside and simply enjoy the games themselves. If I let politics control my entertainment choices, I’d be left with listening to the Beatles song “Taxman” on an endless loop, and not much else. Life’s too short, and Jon Voight’s not making many movies these days.

NFL – Does the “N” really stand for National?

Video 8 Comments

If so, why?

I have not watched any NFL game since two years ago except the Super Bowl this past January, or was it February, hell, I don’t remember and really do not care. I refuse to spend the Lord’s Day watching scum sucking anti-Americana millionaires play with a ball and think they are heroes. Oh, I do watch college football , and I have my favorite teams e.g., Bama and the Volunteers for example. I doubt very seriously if I will see any knee bending or disrespect there, but one never knows??  I cannot and will not watch these scumbags taking a knee or disrespecting something I served for much of my life and for which I shed blood. 

If any of you do watch the NFL, and I don’t have a problem with that — it’s your choice and I respect that, may I ask a favor? I would like to know if you see any advertisements from USAA. They have been my bank, mortgage company, brokerage account, IRAs, and insurer of home, boats, and cars for over 46 years. I do know they advertised last year, but I don’t know about this season. If they are doing that it would be the biggest example of hypocrisy I’ve ever witnessed. If I find they are advertising on the NFL network, the CEO will get a letter from me that will burn his hands while he reads it — guaranteed! And I just may pull all my accounts from them?I would like for someone to provide me a list of all the companies who advertise  NFL games. I will research them and get there contact information and publish on this blog in case anyone else wants to write them bitching and threatening to stop buying their product. We can write all the correspondence we want to addressed at the NFL and it will do no good. They must be hit in the pocketbook. I understand companies that advertise NBA games have already started complaining because they are not getting the viewership promised in their contracts. The NBA has already leaked out they intend to change things next season reference the outspoken scum like Lebron Scumbag James. We can do this folks, I know we can. Let’s become a united voice.

This video is a must watch, and if you are like me, you might need a Kleenex.

A Poem

5 Comments

 

A man went to the Great Lakes Military Cemetery in Holly, Michigan. He took some photos while reflecting on what’s going on in our country today.

Then he wrote this simple poem:

          I don’t see any color here,
          The headstones look the same;
          No black no brown no white skin tone
          There’s no one here to blame.

          These soldiers fought and died for you;
          Their color you can’t see;
          Your rights are still protected;
          Here’s the place to take a knee.

The NFL

Well, let’s see what the Nation’s Scum is up today? Oh dear, the infamous NFL who cares only about one thing, $$$$$$. They have never  cared about the players, the sport, the franchises, or the fans — that is as long as they continue to spend mega bucks at the games for $10 hot dogs and beers, not to mention the price of the ticket. I am fast approaching the eight decades mark, and I have never paid a dime to attend an NFL game. Oh as a kid I used to go watch Johnny Unitas and the Colts, but my girlfriend’s father paid; he had season tickets and I was sometimes invited to tag along. I do watch some on TV but not a priority in my life. But I will be scanning the games this year; see the epilogue as to the reason.

Open Letter To NFL Players. The Boycott is coming

You graduated high school in 2011. Your teenage years were a struggle.

You grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Your mother was the leader of the family and worked tirelessly to keep a roof over your head and food on your plate.

Academics were a struggle for you and your grades were mediocre at best. The only thing that made you stand out is you weighed 225 lbs and could run 40 yards in 4.2 seconds while carrying a football. Your best friend was just like you, except he didn’t play football. Instead of going to football practice after school, he went to work at McDonald’s for minimum wage.

You were recruited by all the big colleges and spent every weekend of your senior year making visits to universities where coaches and boosters tried to convince you their school was best. They laid out the red carpet for you. Your best friend worked double shifts at Mickey Ds. College was not an option for him.

On the day you signed with Big State University, your best friend signed paperwork with his Army recruiter. You went to summer workouts.

He went to basic training.

You spent the next four years living in the athletic dorm, eating at the training table. You spent your Saturdays on the football field, cheered on by adoring fans. Tutors attended to your every academic need.

You attended class when you felt like it. Sure, you worked hard. You lifted weights, ran sprints, studied plays, and soon became one of the top football players in the country.

Your best friend was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division. While you were in college, he deployed to Iraq once and Afghanistan twice. He became a Sergeant and led a squad of 19 year-old soldiers who grew up just like he did. He shed his blood in Afghanistan and watched young American’s give their lives, limbs, and innocence for the US.

You went to the NFL combine and scored off the charts. You hired an agent and waited for draft day. You were drafted in the first round and your agent immediately went to work, ensuring that you received the most money possible. You signed for $16 million although you had never played a single down of professional football.

Your best friend re-enlisted in the Army for four more years. As a combat tested sergeant, he will be paid $32,000 per year.

You will drive a Ferrari on the streets of South Beach. He will ride in the back of a Blackhawk helicopter with 10 other combat loaded soldiers.

You will sleep at the Ritz. He will dig a hole in the ground and try to sleep. You will “make it rain” in the club. He will pray for rain as the temperature reaches 120 degrees.

On Sunday, you will run into a stadium as tens of thousands of fans cheer and yell your name.

For your best friend, there is little difference between Sunday and any other day of the week. There are no adoring fans. There are only people trying to kill him and his soldiers. Every now and then, he and his soldiers leave the front lines and “go to the rear” to rest. He might be lucky enough to catch an NFL game on TV.

When the National Anthem plays and you take a knee, he will jump to his feet and salute the television. While you protest the unfairness of life in the United States, he will give thanks to God that he has the honor of defending his great country.

To the players of the NFL: We are the people who buy your tickets, watch you on TV, and wear your jerseys. We anxiously wait for Sundays so we can cheer for you and marvel at your athleticism. Although we love to watch you play, we care little about your opinions until you offend us.

You have the absolute right to express yourselves, but we have the absolute right to boycott you.

We have tolerated your drug use and DUIs, your domestic violence, and your vulgar displays of wealth. We should be ashamed for putting our admiration of your physical skills before what is morally right.

But now you have gone too far. You have insulted our flag, our country, our soldiers, our police officers, and our veterans. You are living the American dream, yet you disparage our great country. I encourage all like minded Americans to boycott the NFL.

National boycott of the NFL for Sunday November 11, 2020 “Veterans Day“ Weekend. Boycott all football telecast, all fans, all ticket holders, stay away from attending any games, let them play to empty stadiums.

Pass this post along to all your friends and family. Honor our military, some of whom come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin.

Epilogue: OK, Here is why I will scan this year and I recommend you and your friends do the same.  You know the sayings, : Money Talks,  follow the money, money is everything, etc. Where would the NFL be today without advertisements during the game breaks; hell they even delay the game to get the advertisements aired. And do you have any idea what those companies pay for a thirty second advertisement? I remember when the J Walter came out with the sword advertisement for the Corps. They got a thirty second ad and even got to pick when the ad would be air i.e.,  the first station break after kick off at the Super Bowl. The ad cost the Corps $100K. Hell that was a big chunk of the Corps’ total annual ad budget. LOL Anyway, the Corps caught all sorts of hell from the legislatures over that issue. Now I am told the ads cost in the millions for just twenty seconds.

So, my goal is to watch the commercials only and take note of who is buying air time, and I will flood those companies mail and emails, with written complaints and let them know I will buy china rather than their products. Can you imagine if 1000’s of folks did that and the company experienced a sudden drop in sales and eventually pulled their ads from the games? I know one thing, I had better not see a USAA ad this year, as in the past I have been with that company for over 45 years for everything e.g., investments, banking, home, car, and life insurance, and mortgages. I will drop them in a heartbeat. Think of the hypocrisy. They cater only to veterans, yet they buy air time, thus supporting a company who  supports players disgracing the American Flag and our National Anthem. OMG. I have already warned them with emails, you should too!

Spread the word folks, we can have a voice!!!
