The Bush era "weapons of mass destruction" lie and endless wars that have been waged under false pretenses have understandably made many skeptical about any military action. Iran, however, has been asking for this for decades dating back to Jimmy Carter's humiliation with the hostages. The...

I can watch some of those old shows like Hogan's Heroes and Andy Griffith over and over and never get tired of them. Svengoolie on Saturday night is a throwback to the old horror movie host of yesteryear. In contrast, I haven't watched a network TV sitcom in the last decade. Can't stand them.

Good to see that the Stanley Cup is staying in the U-S-A yet another year. Florida dominated those last two games. Great to see those Edmonton fans standing outside their igloos while they choked away the series. Hard to believe but the last time a Canadian team won the Cup was 1993.

The bizarre practice of charging the same price or even a higher price for the e-book over a hard copy. Think of all the expense that the publisher saves by not having to manufacture and then ship a hard copy to a store or customer. I'll never buy the book in that circumstance. It's a rip off.

Finally settling old scores with Iran. Fifty years after Jimmy Carter blew it with the hostages. Hopefully there are no more half measures in ridding the world of a terrorist regime. There is now a small window of opportunity for the modern people of Iran to self-govern and become a part of...

Certain Confederates were involved in the formation of such groups and participated in many atrocities after the war. Even at Gettysburg, there were incidents of free blacks being kidnapped and taken back into slavery. Putting that aside, the Confederates were also traitors to the US. Their...

Rick Atkinson mentioned recently that Ken Burns is doing a series on the American Revolution. I'm not a big fan of Burns himself but it could be interesting.

The copyright has apparently expired on Popeye allowing us to get the horror rendition of "Popeye's Revenge" on Tubi. Is it bad? Of course. But in the good way of the 80s horror films. Lots of babes in hot tubs etc. Almost as entertaining as the movie is reading the reviews of disappointed...

There may be nothing better than watching the fanatic Edmonton Oiler fans endure a soul crushing defeat at home. Hopefully Florida takes care of business at home and keeps the Stanley Cup in the U-S-A once again. Something like 30 years and counting since a Canadian team won it.

Great to see him back on the mound and giving the Dodgers a good outing in an important game. He seems like a rare genuine good guy in modern sports.

I think you have to view these events through the eyes of others and not just ourselves. There are people who rightly or wrongly have a certain view about Trump. Primarily that he wants to be a dictator. The country is polarized over him. An event like a military parade plays directly into...

I think the parade played into a narrative on the left that Trump is a dictator. It did not seem necessary. And even as someone who voted for Trump three times, it makes me a bit uncomfortable to see a Soviet-style military parade in DC. The politicization of the military is the last thing...

What a crazy, polarizing week in America. The No Kings protests, the military parade, and the horrible murders in MN. On top of that is a war between Israel and Iran with the US on the verge of being involved.

I blundered into a small "No Kings" protest in Gettysburg today. Most surprising to me is that the majority of the protestors were older white people. In their 50s and 60s. It's a strange new world. That used to be the conservative demographic.

Finally holding Iran accountable for sponsoring terrorism and trying to develop a nuclear weapon despite being told that was not acceptable. Thankfully Israel has shown the fortitude to do something. Iran has been a thorn in the side of civilization for 50 years and counting back to the Carter...

I've occasionally gone back to visit some of my childhood homes. My dad worked for the government, so we moved around quite frequently but lived in one home for about a decade. It's a strange feeling. Particularly as you get older and many of the people that you associate with that time and...

I agree with you in principle but having let 20 or more million people into the country in just the last four years or so, the concept of deporting them all is unrealistic. Heavy handed tactics are just going to backfire.

Hard to believe but I just recently watched the original "Indiana Jones" movie for the first time last week.

I can't understand the politics of those that want to try to parcel the violent conduct out of these situations as though those burning cars, looting, and vandalizing property are not a part of what is going on. Nothing to see there. They may certainly be anarchists or types that just enjoy...

The uniform nature of all these "protests" is odd. There does seem to be a level of organization among the protestors. Is there some network of anarchists who interject themselves into every civil disturbance to create chaos? It seems like it. It does not bode well for any real national...
