Monday Open Comments

I took the weekend off, what with church and family and such, and find everyone else did, too.

So, here ya’ go…

THAT should spark some discussion!

Remember that this is Holy Week.  Palm Sunday was yesterday, so the King has entered Jerusalem, and the final events leading to Jesus’ death and our eternal life begin.

So the Huskies won in great fashion tonight, the crowd attending was from what I could see orderly and enthusiastic. Lots of folks of all ages who know how to conduct themselves and make sure their kids also do at events of all kinds.  Great celebrations with no idiots ruining the evening for everybody.  And delightfully, many folks in town… Read more »

Texmo, I can empathize. Heavy dose Prednisone is one of my last resort options when my back really goes out and I can barely walk. I keep a course on hand at all times. I think it’s been a year since I’ve had to take it. (60mg for three days, 40mg for two days, 20mg for two days, 10mg for… Read more »

Before they give me chemo, they give me some antiemetics one of which is a steroid. It’s after 10 pm and I don’t think I’ll be able to fall asleep for a while. I’ve been dealing with some insomnia as well lately. I’ll sleep from 10 pm – 1 am and then I can’t fall back asleep until 4 am… Read more »

Shannon my favorite dog function is the built in door bell / knock repeater in a vocalized form. This morning my MIL came over to take me to my chemo infusion. I was brushing my teeth and did not hear the doorbell. I most certainly heard my Ridgeback barking and knew it was probably her at the door.

I am not a basketball fan, but I have always enjoyed the Sweet 16.

Back in the old days, when the Rockets were winning national championships, I got to attend a few games.

I was shocked at how much standing around goes on in the pro game.

These college guys work their butts off.

Out of curiosity I’m watching the championship basketball game tonight.   Had forgotten how much energy those players must expend to be constantly moving so fast.  Wonder how much that energy is equivalent to how many miles of cross-country running.  I’m just about exhausted watching it.

I’m for the Huskies for the simple reason I love their mascot.

Make sure you go into the surgery department for hernias and not the Transgender Affirmation department.  We don’t want you to come back to San Saba as El Gorda.

I don’t even like Gwyneth Paltrow, but I’m glad she won this lawsuit. After all, the old man smashed into her, not vice versa.

For whatever reason Netflix has “Charlie Wilson’s War” back in the top rotation, I remember watching it many years ago. I may talk the wife into watching it tonight. The good old days when a liberal Democrat could still be a patriot.

I would not have guessed that “Country Music” would be despoiled by degenerate performers or fans.

But there was a time when I was stunned to realize that Disney had been contaminated.

At the CMT Music Awards last night, country singer Kelsea Ballerini, who was also co-hosting the event, performed her song “If You Go Down (I’m Going Down Too)” with four drag queens from the show “RuPaul’s Drag Race” dancing around her. The performance was a glaring display of full-blown wokeness and support for cross-dressing men and sexual degeneracy, from the… Read more »

It is way past time to indict Mayorkas for perjury.  I would even go so far as to use the “T” word, as he is giving aid and comfort to our enemy (China) in a time of war.  We are at war with China right now and it is an economic war which we are badly losing.

In addition, as noted China expert Gordon Chang told Newsmax, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army is entering the country through the border, as well. During an appearance on  “America Right Now,” Chang said: Michael Yon, the war correspondent who’s been spending his time in the Darién Gap, where these migrants … flow through has been saying he’s been seeing …… Read more »

I’ve been trying to find any articles written by the insurance analyst, Josh Stirling, who has been studying the excess deaths data in countries around the world.  Unfortunately, he seems to have a deal with Epoch Times TV to release his reports through them behind a paywall.  Although I did sign up for Fox Nation for a year at $23,… Read more »

The lies being told about “green energy” are as big as any ever peddled to the human race. Consider an article this week by Denver-based writer Michael Thomas headlined, “A Fossil Fuel Economic Requires 535X More Mining Than A Clean Energy Economy.” A thread based on the article was viewed 244,500 times and liked more than 2,000 times. Thomas, who… Read more »

We don’t seem to have any Richard Feynmans these days and that is a shame. The Feynman Technique is a learning method that prioritizes simplicity to build depth of understanding. It takes its name after Richard Feynman—an American theoretical physicist who won the Nobel Prize in 1965 for his groundbreaking work in quantum electrodynamics. Richard Feynman was certainly intelligent. But… Read more »

Good morning fellow couch dwellers.  I am a bit sore from yesterday’s activities; that tells me I need to do that sort of thing more frequently.
