2022 is off to a grand start with a new way to separate a fool from his money. My wife just showed me a text she received from Donald Trump Jr. His photo is above a message imploring everyone to click on the link and fill out the 2022 Census. It's very important that Trump supporters be counted...

Many years ago, in another life, I found myself sitting in a room with about one hundred other people, waiting for our "team building" seminar to begin. This is the kind of event that's been parodied on television ever since, where a person falls backward, trusting the person behind to catch...

On January 8, 2020, Iranian missiles hit the Ain al-Asad air base in Iraq. There were no reported casualties. Seven days later, the President appears at a campaign rally in Milwaukee, where he talks about the raid and says, "And an hour later or so, we get a call back. I said, how many killed...

In 2003, photographer Ken Adleman wanted people to know about the severity of erosion on the California coast. He took aerial photos of the coastline and put 12,000 of them on a website. Out of the 12K pics, one of them showed Barbara Streisand's house, high up on the cliff. In the ordinary...

District Attorney shares list with defense attorneys of 30 cops with questioned credibility In the past month or so, there's been a lot of talk in my neighborhood about a City Policeman who had a suspect run from a routine traffic stop. The policeman pursued and traded shots with the suspect...

Okay, here's my idea. I want to borrow your car, but I want you to drive if for me. It's just to give someone a lift and I'll tell you where to go. I'll chip in for gas, but if you do the math on the cost of operating a vehicle, you're losing your ass. I'm losing money too, but I'm not sure why...

O Tempora O Mores (smile if you got that one) It seems that not only is the truth, not the truth, it's also for sale. In the spirit of being "good for pay" is better than being good for nothing, you can contribute to Michael Cohen's legal bills by contributing his Go Fund Me account. The Office...

Calling for volunteers: The Trumpenceremos Brigade needs you. In 1969, the totally leftist and uncivil Students for a Democratic Society(SDS) organized an organization known as the Venceremos Brigade. This was a group of people who went to Cuba to help with the sugar cane harvest. This gave...

This is the recipe. Take a pig shoulder(the piece that makes a picnic ham) and crisscross cut the fat cap. Apply a dry rub and let it sit in a covered container over night in the fridge, The rub this time, was a blend of fajita seasoning, Tony Chachere's , and powered sweet ham glaze. Start a...

The Navy has banned e-cigarettes on ships(except in designated smoking areas), but not for any health concerns. It seems e-cigs are powered by a lithium battery, and like a lot of other lithium batteries, can overheat and start a fire. Navy weighs e-cigarette ban amid safety concerns The real...

The original thread is here Former Marksville deputy marshal Derrick Stafford gets 40 years in boy's shooting death Even thought the actual charge was manslaughter, under Louisiana law (Napoleonic Code) it is treats as 2nd degree murder would be in any other state. The 40 year sentence is the...

I've spent the last several nights watching the BBC production of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" and "Smiley's People", starring Alec Guinness. This has qualified me to analyze the latest story about the Trump Kremlin connection. Here is the summary as presented by George Smiley: There is a...

Here's something to think about. When the 911 Commission was being formed, the chairs were filled with former Senators, Congressmen, and other elected officials. Henry Kissinger, who never elected to any office, was asked to be the Chairman of the Commission. He turned it down. Part of being o...

Actually, you are a Senator's son, a Senator-elect for sure. This is one of those B-movie plots come to life. Last August, at the height of Louisiana's Senate race to replace the Honorable David Vitter, a man who survived a prostitution scandal, only to lose his bid to become governor, a young...

The problem with explaining the obvious it that one man's obvious is another man's mine field. The field is obvious, but the mines are not. The standard political metaphor for a dangerous topic is "third rail". The third rail of subway track is pretty obvious and most people know to stay away...

Self check out theft goes rampant. When electronic self checkouts were first introduced, I didn't like the idea. Even today, when I use one, at least half the time, a human had to come resolve some problem with the machine. Once, a cashier had to push a button to indicate I was over age 18...

If Roger Stone(who?) can be credited, there hasn't been a straight election in the past 50 years, maybe never. His plan is a little short on details and heavy on assumptions, but the short recipe is easy to follow.: His basic premise is pretty simple. If an election doesn't follow the...

Denver A. Smith and Leonard Douglas Brown November 16, 1972 I ran across this article from last November. I remember the incident very well. East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's deputies were called to the Southern University campus because students were protesting outside the Administration...

"This is the business we are in, and this is the way we do business."--Don Corleone. I keep hearing from my conservative friends, they want a businessman to run our country like a business. I wonder how many people in this country ever got to work in the morning, looked at everything around...
