Monday Moaning (10-16-23)

 

  Well, I came back for a second week in a row. A little late this week, but I'm trying to make myself go through this exercise. I was pondering what to write about, my LAST POST didn't get much traction. I was actually expected some backlash, but no such luck. Then again, I've been away for a while, and well, so have many of the bloggers I follow. It made me wonder, where have all the good bloggers gone?

 I first started blogging in 2007 on "The Sporting News." It was a great community of bloggers with great back and forth. Many of the bloggers were better writers than Sporting News staff. The website noticed our community and sneakily started to boost stuff from the blogging community. Shortly before they killed off the blogging community, some guys started their own site and invited some of us to join. I eventually bought into it and helped run it, as well as posting every day. Other groups started their own sites, and rivalries that began at "The Sporting News," continued at these different sites. I miss the blogging wars. All those places are gone now.

 They aren't the only ones. When I started this blogspot page I found a world of other blogs and bloggers. There were people posting poetry, creative writing, introspective pieces, politics, pop culture, photography blogs, people who used it like a journal. There was "A Frank Angle" and "The Daddy Files" which were never miss reads. There was something for everyone and there were things you didn't even know you would be interested in. They seem to have faded away.

  Our attention spans have gone to shit. The written word is dying. No one wants to read 8 paragraphs on my perfect Heisman trophy prediction, or Aaron's trials and tribulations of being a father of 3 uniquely different kids and trying to balance work and family obligations, or a nuanced argument on the days latest horrifying events. Everything got broken down to a quick tweet, or an Instagram pic with a couple hashtags written below it, or stupid short videos on TikTok or Instagram. The world has bought into "less is more." It's not.

  Some may say, I'm being over dramatic saying the written word is dying. Let me prove you wrong....English class is not called English class anymore. It's called "ELA." Phonics is not taught isn't schools anymore, neither is cursive. I have two high schoolers who work for me, both are in "Honors ELA." They both can barely write anything legible. They can't read or write cursive. They have horrible grammar and struggle to properly pronounce everyday words, and the admittedly don't read, nor are they assigned reading. I wasn't in honors English in high school, and I was required to read a book every week the first three years of school and was tested on them. These kids have no idea who Jack London is. 

  On top of that, we have communities, cities, school boards, lunatic governors, banning books throughout this country, and there is little push-back against it. There is little coverage from the media, and less coverage of the small push-back. Does the media/journalists not realize that they'll be next to be censored or banned. We are dumbing down our kids...We are dumbing down ourselves. 

 I'm going to keep writing, even if no one is reading...And I'm going to start searching again for whatever quirky blogs are out there, sharing their own little slice of madness.

Have a week.

Afghanistan, Republican Bullshit and COVID

 

There is a mess of things I need to get off my chest and I'll start with the mess in Afghanistan. The Republican party and the media, both Left and Right leaning outlets have been shitting all over President Biden for going through with Pulling U.S. forces out of that hellhole, even while they all have said we should get out of there. 

It's time to speak some truth about this shit people. The GOP and many Democrats fully Supported President Bush sending out Troops in there 20 years ago, with no real plan of ending our time there. President Obama talked of wanting to get out but got loads of pressure from Republicans and lobbyists to stay, as well as not having a solid plan to get out. That asshole President Trump, went ahead and released 5000 Taliban prisoners and gave them a seat at the head of the table to negotiate the U.S. military withdrawal, giving them a watered-down, candy-coated treaty that basically said, don't shoot our guys and we'll leave. Then left it in the desk for President Biden to deal with, while bragging about the deal he worked with the Taliban and praising them and Republicans in Congress and Right Wing news twats like Fox News fully supported him. Now the GOP and their networks are trashing Biden for working with the Taliban and this garbage deal they all supported.

By the way, never forget the Taliban was born from the Mujahideen, who were guerilla fighters fully funded and armed by the United States to fight Russia from 1979-1989. We loved them so much Hollywood made a Rambo movie where he fought alongside the Mujahideen, and the original ending, dedicated the film to them.

Back to present day...

This week while evacuating over 100,000 people, our Military suffered a horrible loss of 13 lives. The Right used this to attack Biden and called for accountability, which he in a press conference, without hesitation took responsibility for the lives lost. Something Commanders in Chief do. Well, most do. Trump didn't while he was in office and 63 servicemembers died in Afghanistan, nor did grandstanding jackasses in the GOP, call for him to resign or be impeached over it, like they are now. Dickhead, JOSH HAWLEY this week was one of them, suddenly against our withdrawal from Afghanistan. I guess he for got when he tweeted at Biden in April that we should pull-out immediately. Something his father should have done! 

We also have had many Republicans and media members screaming how we need to help the Afghan people and get these refugees out of there, while in the same statement or tweet like Ted Cruz did, say how we shouldn't let them come here. Nothing like a son of a refugee telling refugees to fuck off! 

And yes, after losing 13 U.S. servicemembers, suddenly, many Republicans wanted us to stay there, and send more troops there. They're so angry about the lives lost, they want to risk more lives. For Fuck's sake, Kevin McCarthy in a press conference Friday changed his mind 4 times on whether we should have troops in Afghanistan permanently or not.

I find it incredibly hollow that so many in the media and the GOP said little to nothing about Afghanistan over the last 20 years, as well as saying nothing about the 2,372 U.S. Servicemembers who have died in Afghanistan over the last 20 years. The major news networks covered Afghanistan from 2015through 2019 for less that a hour of airtime combined. ABC: 16 minutes. CBS: 25 minutes. NBC: 16 minutes. Now, suddenly after 20 years war, lives lost, military funding and VA funding be held up in the name of playing politics, underpaid troops, now you care. They only care, because war, suffering and controversy boost ratings and poll numbers.

The biggest fact we all should know is there was no winning this thing. History has shown this. Afghanistan is a place of constant civil war. There are 14 religious sects (mostly fanatical) fighting for power and control. If U.S. forces stayed any number of years, they would be at risk. Whenever our forces started leaving a power grab was going to start. All these pundits and politicians have a shitload to say and criticize, but none...NONE of them have offered a real solution or a better plan. They are all just trying to get clicks, likes, and political points. 

Military members, especially those who have been in action or served in Afghanistan, gladly say what you wish, your perspective means a great deal more than some dick in a suit who spend his life in a studio, behind a desk, reading a prompter. Unfortunately the networks don't do much of that. (TRIGGER WARNING): Military guys, don't talk about how you fought or are fighting for my freedom. Have you fought for our security? YES! But the United States military has not fought for our freedom in DECADES. They have been used to fight for the "Country's" political and economic interests. I respect you dearly. You do a job I know I could never do and you are grossly underpaid.

To the COVID section...

What I am going to say next is not to belittle or try to take lightly the military deaths in Afghanistan...A few days ago when a suicide bomber killed 13 servicemembers and over a 100 civilians, that day more Americans died from COVID than all the U.S. military deaths over 20 years in Afghanistan. 900 just in Florida alone. Where is the "Pro-Life" party screaming for the head of GOP governors trying to ban mask mandates. GOP politicians and media figures pushing anti-vaccination bullshit? They pushing people to treat them self with medicine made for farm animals. These dolts are against science and doctors until horse de-wormer gives them the shits and they catch COVID. Suddenly they want a doctor's help. Fuck them, let them die!

I can say that here, I'm not allowed to on social media. These two images got me suspended on social media for "promoting self harm."

Yet they aren't stopping the people who spread anti-vaccination bullshit and anti-mask bullshit and 'go get some horse or goat or cow medicine and you won't get COVID' bullshit. 

I spend too much time on social media and lots of it trying to combat this ignorance that is running wild in this country. It rattles me. It angers me. I had someone (now former friend) private message me about why I get so worked up and post so much about it. (they are an anti-masker for kids in school) I had some shit to say.

I'll sum it up like this. Over 635,000 Americans have died from COVID. If that alone doesn't make you take this seriously, I don't know what will. I don't want businesses to shutdown again. Most won't survive it a second major shutdown. I don't want people losing jobs and homes and loved ones. Americans, we love sports and to talk about TEAM. If you can't get onboard with the team to stop the spread of death, I'm done with you. I have a 10 year old daughter, who is not yet eligible to get a COVID vaccine. Which means compared to the rest of our household, she's at the greatest risk of getting it bad. (especially since the Delta variant is hitting kids harder than the original) If my daughter gets COVID, you're all done. I burn this fucking world to the ground. 

I'm not being dramatic. This shit was preventable, but a bunch of ignorant-ass, fucktards, lead by Qanon dipshits and Trump, decided there is no greater freedom in the world than to be inconsiderate, selfish, assholes. The right to get sick and die a horrible death or just merely spread that death is the most important thing to them.

The stories of those who chose to not get vaccinated and fought against vaccines and masks, now dying, do not make me sad. they had plenty of time to get their shit straight and they chose ignorance and a death cult. But their choices are impacting us all now. So I will shame them. And if my child get COVID because of their ignorance...It's over.

One last thing for all you full of shit Republicans and Trumpers...

If Trump was still President today, he wouldn’t have gone to meet the returning U.S. military bodies as Biden did. He would be ignoring the COVID surge and not getting briefings on Afghanistan and a major hurricane, he’d be fucking golfing! 

Monday Moaning 10-26-20

 

Have I got your attention?

How about now? Good...

One of the great things about social media is communicating with people from other places...Not just me in Pennsylvania shooting the shit with a friend in Texas...But seeing other cultures and news from around the world...Lets be honest, our media cover the United States first and foremost...It has to be something massive, or epically tragic for them to to look past oceans...And we all know #1 thing covered here is politics...It's not news anymore, it's fucking reality TV....

We are so wrapped up in our side and our country and what's going on here, we are clueless that much of the world is also at it's breaking point...Yes, there is nothing wrong with carrying about our country...I am in no way going to stop screaming about Trump and I am not going to stop fighting for equality for all in this country...But I'll be honest, I had no idea what was going on all over the world...I knew bits and pieces, but had no idea how big it was until a post from a you woman in Poland...

These are pics from just outside her apartment...

Every night there are protests in the streets...Protests against the government...Because of her post I started looking at what's going on...There is madness is so many places....Frustration and disenfranchised people everywhere...JUST LOOK...

All those dots are places with active protests...All of these protests are political protests...The main reasons are, policy, economic and corruption...Sounds frighteningly familiar...

Here in the United States it’s nuts and there's lots of division...But people are trying to unite us and open the eyes of others who don’t get it...And clearly people around the world are trying to do this...

COVID has only made it worse, but if we can get people to think not just of themselves, but everyone...not just in individual countries either...we are all on this same planet together and my actions don’t just impact my neighborhood, city, state, country...They impact your country, and Canada, Australia, England, Poland, Mexico, Japan, Italy, Brazil, France and so on...I believe we, as a world will battle through these times and come out of it with a better world...We will have sadly lost too many fellow humans, but a brighter future will honor them...

We sure as shit know Trump won't...What did he say about those dead from COVID? Oh, that's right, "It is what it is"...#WakeUpAmerica

Keep fighting world.

#WakeUpAmerica : It's All "Reality TV" to Him

 

Welcome to my third installment of Lying, Asshole, Trump is using COVID as a Campaign Ad...The FIRST was Friday...The SECOND  was Sunday...Now here we sit, me being right...AGAIN...

Saturday and Sunday Trump tweets videos saying he’s doing well, just before the nightly news...Monday they announced he’s leaving the hospital at 6:30, the same time the nightly news starts...He’s getting constant free TV time...And with it promoting his lies that COVID isn’t that bad...It’s all political theater...And boom just like that, all but 4 minutes of the nightly news was covering his motorcade and helicopter flight...The “reality TV” President just played everyone....

Now he’s thumping his chest about beating it...if he actually has it, which I still don't believe...But if he does, he’s getting a treatment regimen that is not legal for anyone else to get...If you roll into the Hospital with a positive COVID test and say, I want the stuff Trump gets, they'll not only say no...They'll most likely send you home to quarantine until and tell you to come back only if you show severe symptoms...They'll tell you no, because those treatments Trump is getting are not yet "approved" for public use and are still in the "testing" phase...Also, he needed to get a special exception for those treatments...The type of exception normally only given to someone in the worst case scenario....

And as for that show they put on at the White House...I won't post the videos...Fuck him...I'm not putting his Mussolini/Hitler- like propaganda videos up on my page...I'm bullshitting...There was press that was filming from across the way, and White House reporters posting and tweeting about Trump and his crew doing reshoots of him entering the White House and retakes of his speech where he was trying to spew his bullshit that COVID isn't that bad...

He's saying it's not that bad...But this weekend the White House Gift Shop started taking pre-orders for "President Donald J. Trump Defeats COVID" collectors coins...I'm not bullshitting...And While Factcheck.org flagged my Facebook post about it, they clearly didn't bother to click the LINK...It's the White House Gift Shop's website...

This has all been a campaign ad...This is the only thing Trump has done well in his career...Put on a "reality TV show" and sell idiots, shitty, made in China merch...

He has played the American public and the American media for fools...You know I'm right, because we all see his ignorant cult members every day...We see their stupidity in full force as they blindly believe everything he says...As they scream against wearing masks...As they scream against people peacefully protesting, while they violently protest....America has a "Reality TV" President and we did it to ourselves...People bought the myth that a non-politician was the answer to our ills, but it made us sicker...

The Republican party repeatedly enabled him, wanting to grab as much power as they could...They bought his bullshit and now with each Republican that gets a positive COVID test, I get a smile....I feel no sympathy for those who denied science...I feel no sympathy for those who had none for the first 210,000 Americans that died from COVID...

Again, his morning Trump was spreading the lie that COVID is less deadly than the seasonal Flu...210,000 Americans dead from COVID...This fucking "Clown"...

Yes, Facebook got something right and removed it...Twitter hid it, but it's still visible just with a warning first...These action lead to dipshit tweeting to "REPEAL SECTION 230"...Listen, section 230 has cost me two Twitter accounts and has gotten me suspended many, many times...Most of those for Calling him an Lying Asshole...For calling Tucker Carlson a racist cunt...For Calling Melania and Ivanka Cunts...For calling fucking racists, fucking racists...For calling Kanye a fucking idiot...Now, I feel all of those statements were true...But I took my penalties like a man...Unlike Trump, who like to act like Mr. Tough Guy, but then cries on the rare occasion he's held accountable for one of his countless lies...

AMERICA!!!  WAKE THE FUCK UP!  "Reality TV" is scripted and too many of you have fallen for Trump's script. 

#WakeUpAmerica

Monday Moaning 12/17/18

After quite a long time away, I felt like it was time to bring back the good ole, Monday Moaning....While I was away from the game, there has been no shortage of shit for me to rant and rave about...This weekend I snapped off this little rant on Facebook....

 I have now seen multiple articles along with tweets about people being offended and bitching about a movie from 1999...

1. Grow the fuck up! It’s a movie, in the comedy genre, that made it clear it was geared towards guys...Gen X’s “Porky’s” if you will.

2. Who the fuck cares if the jokes don’t hold up 20 years later...not the first time, won’t be the last.

3. People repeatedly calling it sexist and misogynistic...fuck you! You clearly didn’t watch the whole thing...some characters were, some weren’t....oh, and we just skipped that part of the female (redheaded) being the dominant one and the aggressor.

4. There was a tweet about the movie crying sexism, saying (paraphrasing) ‘if you have testosterone it’s okay to have sex with any girl?’

WTF!?! Things I’ve learned in my 40 plus years in this earth, females get just as horned up as males, they can get laid easier (anytime) compared to males, and there are plenty of females who will bang any random guy. Your cry of sexism is bullshit.

5. Oh yeah, it’s a fucking movie! A twenty year old comedy movie people are getting offended by! “Mommy Dearest” was on last night...it’s a movie and a true story...you want to be offended, be offended at that Joan Crawford cunt!

For the love of god people, can we stop searching for bullshit to be offended by....there is some real, serious, awful shit going on in this country, in this world you should be upset about, that has real life consequences...if you’re getting upset over a 20 year old movie, you’re part of the problem!

Next up, this bullshit going around that Santa Claus should be a female, or even gender neutral....Seriously? I get it, we're in the #MeToo era so everyone has to hate men...You know what?   #FuckYou!!! This shit is getting real old, real fast...Now before your panties get in a twist, I'm all for you women...I'm against sexual assault...I'm for equal pay...I'm all for equal rights...And yes, I fully support the gay and lesbian rights...I fully support civil right for all...I support human rights....But jumping Jesus on a Pogo stick, you're hurting your case when you start bitching that a mythical character should no longer be male...I and I'm not alone, can not take you seriously...

If you think Santa, mother fucking make believe Claus being a male is where you need to dig your heels in and fight, you're a fucking asshole and you are now part of the problem.

Some may think this attack on Santa (remember he's not real) is part of "The War on Christmas".....Again, I say grow the fuck up! There is no "War on Christmas"...Like the jolly ole fat man himself, it's a myth...

Just a media distraction so the majority of dolts out there don't pay attention to the impending recession that will hit in the next two years...Or the fact that there are still children who were taken from their parents that haven't been returned to their families...Or the fact that everyone with ties to our President is being investigated and/or taking plea deals...Or the wars and the genocide going on.

I have always said Merry Christmas to people, and never once has anyone snapped and been pissed about it...And if it did bother them, I don't care...I was friendly, I didn't say Ho-Ho-Ho, go fuck yourself...So it could always be worse...

In closing, GROW THE FUCK UP!


Have a week.

Happy New Year...I Guess!

I hope the holiday season has treated you all well...I hope many Merry Christmases were had and wonderful New Years celebrations as well...I hope your trees were trimmed as nicely as the one above...And I hope all you Santa's out there were treated the way we all should be....

I had a good Christmas, that was chaotic...Working third shift on at a new job...getting by on limited sleep...Running my Mother-in-law to visit my Father-in-law at the Nursing Home we had to put him in...Dealing with the day to day stuff with the household and eh kids...And all that craziness of being Santa...It barely felt like Christmas...it just felt hectic...But in the end, the family was happy and that's all that matters....

As for my writing and sports...I have been an absent as a writer and a site owner...I have watched no sports...I have zero fucks to give about sports lately...I have watched literally no college football bowl games...Zero, zip, none...I will however be sitting down shortly to watch Notre Dame and Ohio State play...I will be jumping of course to the NHL's "Winter Classic"...I don't know that I will be writing about these events...Hell, this is the first time I have opened my laptop to write in a couple weeks...It's only been used for Molly to play Club Penguin with big brother...

I heard about Peyton Manning, and I saw some people going off via facebook about how differently the media has covered his possible cheating as opposed to how they covered Brady and the Patriots...Anyone cheating or trying to cheat in sports does not surprise me...I've just come to except it...A large number of people in our society are always looking for an angle, and a way to get by or cheat the system...A large number of people are assholes!

Bill Cosby was finally rung up on charges for being a piece of shit...Possibly a rapist (allegedly)....He's done enough bits about Spanish Fly over his career, or the Cosby Show episode where his BBQ sauce made everyone horny, plus what he has said in depositions, that pretty much make it clear that he is all about drugging women to so he can do whatever freaky shit he wants to them...Another asshole working an angle!

Then we have our field of lying, cheating, self promoting, fear-mongering, gas-bag, criminal fucks who are running for President...What a sad state of affairs we are in when this steaming pile holds our options for the next President...

It might be a new year, but it's starting out looking like the same old shit...My suggestion for having a "Happy New Year"....Turn off all this noise...Don't watch political shows on TV...Watch shit that makes you laugh, and smile...Watch shows and movies that excite you or make you cry...Watch something that makes you think, as opposed certain agendas crammed down your throat via soundbites...

Watch sports and enjoy the purity of the games...Don't watch 2 hours of pre and post game coverage that muddle up the game with bullshit...Don't let some weasel tell you it's a real serious story because "Sources say"...Tell me the sources name and that they are real, or fuck off...

Listen to music...Listen to lots of music...All kinds...Good music...






Enjoy your family and friends...Sit down to a good dinner, and don't let any phones out at the table...Engage in real conversation...Texts and tweets are overrated and limit us all...Talk and listen...


That's my Happy New Year to you!

I Think Patrick Kane was Setup

...And no, I'm not talking about a great pass from Duncan Keith or Jonathan Toews...

Since this story has broken, Patrick Kane has had to live with the scar of being called a rapist...Every day something else comes out in the media, and next to Kane's name, it says Rape...Or Rape allegations...The Internet loves to harp on this country's "Rape Culture"...And yes, women  are often treated horrible when they come forward with an accusation of rape...But the Huffington Post and the rest of the Internet never wants to talk about the other side of "Rape Culture"...

The side where a woman accuses a man of a rape, that wasn't really a rape...Just as a rape victim can't wash away what happened...Neither can the accused...Even if the accused is innocent...Or like Kane, a high-profile person, who has not been charged with a crime...But his name still sits next to the words rape allegations, or rapist...

Four days ago I posted THIS...A number of things didn't make the accuser look good...The site Sports Mockery hasn't stopped digging into this...While most of the Chicago media, and well, most of the media already have Kane guilty, and looking into how the Blackhawks can get out of Kane's new $84 million deal, Sports Mockery hasn't caved in yet...And I don't blame them...

As mentioned in the previous post, the alleged victim deleted her social media account...Or at least went Black Ops with them...(made private, changed her profile name)...There is something people really need to learn...just because you change your account, or delete it, or delete tweets...They already went out there...It's all floating around in the ether of the Internet...

Well, Ms. former University of Buffalo Cheerleader's tweets have been caught...Tweets she tweeted in between 11:00 PM and 3:00 AM, the night she was allegedly raped...Her last tweets before her social media accounts went bye, bye...

What's the next line from that song Cheerleader?

"I need that money like the ring I never won, I won."

So there's her final words on twitter...Smells fishy to me...Lake Erie fishy!

Then it's shutdown and she goes to the police...I wonder how many pics there are on her old Instagram account, rubbing up on Kane, having drinks with him...Doing "molly" with her friends before they got to Skybar...

I'm not saying Kane didn't bite her shoulders...I'm not saying Kane didn't get rough...I'm not saying didn't fuck her...I'm saying there was sex...And now she's trying to fuck him...$84 million contract...

Oh, and she has gotten her father's attorney on board...The attorney he used in 2012 when suing parties over  “fraud related to a private finance transaction.”...The transaction amounts vary between $300,000 and over $1,000,000...

Does any of that really matter in this case...Maybe...Maybe not...But something stinks about this unknown woman....She has had her name protected, while Kane's has been smeared with an accusation that he will never be able to shake...Even though he has not been charged...

We'll see what happens next...

Monday Moaning

Did you read that fine print? There sure are a lot of pussies out there these days...It doesn't seem to matter who you are, you better watch what you say, because some one is always looking to be offended...This past week, more dolts got in trouble for stupid shit they said, and while I may not agree with what they said, FUCK, I wish people would get a thicker skin...

ESPN pushed Colin Cowherd out the door a little sooner after he basically called all Dominicans stupid, while trying to say managing baseball isn't that tough...The thing is, even people paid to speak, will make a mistake sometimes...And he did try to explain his point...And honestly, if it was on a comedy show, they way he said it, people would have laughed...Yes, of course people would have been offended...

But shit, show me a Dominican MLB player who is a fucking Rhodes Scholar...You can't can you...Nope, because these guys get snatched up when they're in high school with the hope of playing in the majors, and getting out of poverty...We've seen guys lie about their age, just so they won't be considered to old for some one to take a chance on them...

Cowherd fucked up, but if you were looking for him for Baseball knowledge, you have bigger problems...The guy is fucking clueless!

Then WWE make-believe wrestling star, Hulk Hogan was caught on a sex tape saying some racist shit about his daughter fucking black guys...Dip-shit flat-out admitted to being a racist...Hey Hulk, I'm proud of you...It was the first real thing you've done!  So Hogan is racist...Why is anyone shocked that a white guy, as old as my dad is racist...Honestly, I'd be more shocked if a old fucking white guy his age didn't say racist shit about his daughter fucking black guys...

My dad served his country, raised his kids, was a union man...He's one of the smartest people I know...He's a liberal guy, who turned me onto Motown and Jazz...But every time I started dating a different girl, he'd ask me, (half joking) "Is she white?" And while I knew it was wrong, I got it...Christ, my old man took heat because my Mom isn't Irish...I just can't get upset with old white guys saying some dumb shit because it was the way they were raised...

So because of the outrage over what Hogan said, on a fucking sex tape, the WWE responded swiftly, and erased him from everything WWE...Literally, they have been removing all traces of him...And that outrage, well, the only place I really heard any of it coming from was the white-guilt ridden media...

Let me ask a question....What the hell happened to "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me!"

Oh, I see...Ladies forgot to pack their big girl panties, and men are growing vaginas....

I'm sick of this shit! Really people...You're getting upset by stupid shit being said by Hulk Hogan and Colin Cowherd...Not to mention the new and exciting idiot shit Donald Trump is saying every day in this godforsaken soundbite world we are in...What do Donald trump, Colin Cowherd, and Hulk Hogan have in common?  They're all assholes! Why do you care about what they say!?!


-Up at the University of North Dakota, the president there is taking heat from the public...You see after some bullshit, trumped up outrage from the PC police, the NCAA forced North Dakota to drop their Fighting Sioux nickname...

That was a sweet fucking jersey!

The NCAA then forced a 3 year period of no nickname on the school...So the a list of possible nicknames was created, and has been whittled down, with these shitty nicknames on the short list..."Fighting Hawks"..."Nodaks"..."North Stars..."Roughriders"..."Sundogs"...One of the things taken off was the idea of staying, as-is...No Nickname...Just continue on as North Dakota...

To me, that's the best way to go...Those fuckers rip your schools nickname away, fuck'em...Take that stand, 'we're the Fighting Sioux, or we're nothing!'

But University douchebag officials want a nickname...They talk about having cheers/chants/songs with a new nickname...Oh, and don't forget selling all new gear to loyal fans, students, and alumni...Shit heads!  Being just flat-out North Dakota, has more class and shows a level of respect to a proud past, that cant be replaced with a new shitty nickname and logo...

-In closing, the PC shit has to stop...Everyone has to knuckle-up and stop being offended by everything that may make them uncomfortable...Stop going after people's jobs because they made a mistake...Not everyone thinks like you, that's what makes this country great, and not a bunch of robots...Shit's driving me crazy...Fuck the diet, I want a cupcake!

Have a week!

Shootings, Race, and Mental Illness

Well, the title listed some serious hot button issues there, so I figure we may as well just push that envelope as far as we can with a nice picture...

So, our country has had another fucked up mass shooting...A little racist douchebag in South Carolina shot 9 people after a Wednesday night Bible study group...Since then there have been a number of issues batted around...The media touches on them...People touch on them, but no one really talks...They tiptoe around it all because everyone is afraid of offending some one else...Well, not me kids...

Topic 1.  The Confederate Flag...Lots of people suddenly think it should be done away with...They want South Carolina to stop flying it...Okay, I'm not from the South, so I don't get the big connection people in the South have to it...And I'll never be from the South...I'll never live there...I hate the fucking heat...And while I do one helluva impression of a Bible-belt, hillbilly, redneck, accent, I don't fucking want to hear it everyday of my life...But let me say this about your silly fucking flag you hold near and dear...the Civil War ended...YOU FUCKING LOST!  The North won...The slaves were freed...Oh, and far too long after, segregation ended...And no matter how much those things you never lived through really piss you off, it's the way it is...Been that way your whole life, so grow the fuck up...Your great, great grand-daddy lost!  Burn every fucking Confederate flag left!

Topic 2.   President Obama said nigger...The President was on Comedian, actor, broadcaster/podcaster Marc Maron's "WTF Podcast"...Maron is known for leaning left, but I was surprised the President decided to go on it...Supposedly his people reached out to Maron for the interview...And for the first time in awhile he said some real, honest shit...But everyone missed it, or well, the media didn't talk about it anything except him saying nigger...They acted like he was walking around the room just saying 'nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger'....No...He was talking about race and how it's still clearly a big problem in out country...So here is the full context of what he was saying....

“It is incontrovertible that race relations have improved significantly during my lifetime and yours, and that opportunities have opened up, and that attitudes have changed, That is a fact.”

“What is also true is the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination in almost every institution of our lives, you know, that casts a long shadow and that’s still part of our DNA that’s passed on. We’re not cured of it.”

“And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say ‘nigger’ in public. That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It’s not just a matter of overt discrimination.”

Okay...get over it...The man did what we always say we want politicians to do...He spoke honestly..

Topic 3.   There has been a complaint that when one of these white asshole, psychos shoots up a school, movie theater, of church, that they are given a pass with the 'They're mentally ill' excuse...(I refuse to use the names of asshole shooters like this dick-bag in South Carolina...I won't give them the cocksucker attention they want)...But the fucker in Connecticut, Colorado, and this fuck down South...Do any of them look like they have an ounce of sanity?  No! They all have a mile long stare...Fucked up hairstyles because they're pleading 'look at me!'  But we don't...We look away, because we can tell they're bat-shit crazy...Which is a huge problem on our part...Everyone is so sensitive these days in America, we aren't allowed to call for the authorities just because some fuck-tard looks like a lunatic...We have to wait until he does some crazy shit...But then it's too late...

But whatever...Back to the shooting part of it all...While the shit-bag in South Carolina is a racist, I refuse to just leave it at that...He is also nuts...Mentally ill just like the other fuckers from Colorado and Connecticut...But I'm not stopping there...In this country there are shootings everyday...EVERY FUCKING DAY...And you know what...All those shooters are mentally ill on some level as well...I don't care if it was a black gang members shooting Hispanic gang members...The three young black teens in Philly who got "bored" shot, robbed and killed a white man walking his dog Last Month...They are all mentally ill...If you are not defending your life, or someone else's life, you are mentally fucked if you can just kill anyone that easily...There is no difference...A killer is a killer, and a killer is fucked up in the head...

And I have no use for trying to rehabilitate any of them...No treatment...No jail...They bring nothing to the table...They all need to be erased...

Topic 4.   Gun Control Laws...Lets be honest...There are no gun laws, background check bullshit, any of that shit, that would have stopped the shithead in South Carolina...The only way to stop shootings is to get rid of every gun in this country...And that ain't happening...We can't get the losers of the Civil War to get rid of their flag, how would we get everyone in the country to get rid of their guns...And with how little we trust our shithead government, we may need to hold onto them...But seriously, how did anyone look at Connecticut kid, Colorado kid, and South Carolina racist kid, and think anyone of those fucking dolts could responsibly handle gun ownership!?! 

I'm not a gun guy and my screaming liberal wife doesn't want one around...But I'll be honest, with how fucked up and violent our country has been acting, I've thought of getting one to protect my family...

Topic 5.   Honest Discussion about Race....I have heard so many talking heads in the media, as well as politicians say that this is what we need as a country...But none of them are willing to actually sit down with real people and do it...They'll get a panel together with a few different professors and lawyers with different ethnic backgrounds, and they'll kick the can around, and then it's all forgotten...Because nothing real is said...And Don Lemon with a couple professors and lawyers doesn't represent you, or me, or anyone except for TV douchebags, lawyers and professors...

I saw Lemon down in South Carolina talking to some little douchebag about the racial issues...In the background was a black woman...A regular black woman who just lost friends, who were shot in her church...She was shouting at them...Wanting her feeling heard...She said things about the President...She called Lemon and "Uncle Tom"...She voicing her frustration...You know what they said..."Lets go to commercial so we can have a real discussion."  Fuck You Don! Fuck you CNN! You had chance to put her on the TV and try to have a back and forth with her...Let a real voice be heard...Maybe bring in some other folks from the neighborhood...It could have been amazing TV...But you fuckers were scared...And you think a "real discussion" just means you suits...

America, we have problems...We need to figure them out...And we need to do it without our shitty media screwing it up, and our politicians scamming it for political gain...Real, free, and honest discussion is welcome here...Call me an asshole if you need to...Just try to back it up with some reasoning.

I decided to bring this one back by popular demand...

I'll start with this nonsense...Some little white bitch decided to spend her life pretending that she was black...And this past week Rachel Dolezal's  parents ratted her out finally...It seems to be making big headlines because she's a NAACP leader...She is quoted as saying to her detractors, "I don't give a shit what you guys think, I consider myself black!"

Personally, I don't think it's a big story...I think it's kind of silly...Now, I'm not black, so maybe there is a level of upset, or offended-ness that I just don't get, but I see this as a nonsense story that the lazy media picks up on and runs wild with...You know, like that Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner bullshit we have been enduring...SO this chick is pretending to be black...I don't think it's as bad as this...

Former Florida Governor, and Republican Presidential Candidate, Jeb (holy fuck another) Bush, listed himself as Hispanic in 2009 on a voter registration form...Good ole Jeb's brother and father served as President, whose family has been found to have strong ties to British and other European royalty...Hispanic my ass!

But worse then that, it's actually a felony to put false information on your voter registration paperwork...Of course, he got a pass...If you or I did that, we'd be fucked, but I guess since he's a politician, we just assume he's a cock-sucking liar...It doesn't matter, because didn't you hear, Bruce Jenner has tits!

-A few days ago, I posted this video of a Ronda Pearson going off on Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers and the city council...





Well, earlier in the week Weiers had made an offer to the public, giving someone the chance to tase him, if they could raise $10,000 for a local charity...After Pearson's rant went viral, a crowd funding campaign was started to get her the shot at tasing this prick...But they came up short, until a last minute, annonymous donation kicked in Multiple thousands to get Ronda Pearson another shot at th mayor....Here it is...




She showed concer for him afterwards, because she's classy...But you could see a bit of a smile there too!

-Monday night, Chicago and Tampa Bay square off in game six of the Stanley Cup Finals...The Blackhawks are up 3-2 and have a chance to win it at home...Honestly, I have no idea what to expect...Every game has been close...Both teams have played great defense...The strangest thing is that Tampa Bay has looked like the better team through most of the series, but the Blackhawks experience is paying off, as they keep finding a way to win...My suggestion...Watch and enjoy...

-I can't fill you in on the NBA...I'm one of only a few people in Cleveland that doesn't care and isn't watching...I'm sure Uncle B.O.B. will be able to fill you in on those Warriors and their 3-2 series lead....

-Saturday afternoon, my wife went and did some shopping with the girls...So I took the boy to the art store...He had $40 dollars and wanted to get some clay...He's been out for a week or so...So, he loaded up a basket with the clay he likes to use...We grabbed a set of tools to use with his clay...I got some "Play Doh" for Molly, and a set of ear buds for my Mom...I set up an ipod for her to have while she's sitting through her chemo...We go to checkout, and BOOM! $92.00...I then realized just how many packs of clay he grabbed...

But fuck it...It's what he does...He loves it and is good at it...We spent a bunch for all the fees for our oldest to be in band at school...Then the Summer Honor Band, Christmas Honor Band, and Honor Jazz band...plus the guitar I traded for her clarinet...This is also how I justified it to my wife...She agreed...

Here are his first couple things he made...

Bonnie Bunny...

Foxxy Pirate...

He even has their mouths somehow hinged so that they can open and close...The kid blows my mind...

-Now, I started with that fan favorite image, in a classy black and white...But I figured, I throw in the color version just in case you like it a little dirtier...

Have a week...

There's a lot shit going on in the "news" and it's all pretty fucking annoying to me....I truly, honestly, don't give a damn about Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner...I'm all for people being happy with who they are, you want to change your sex, go ahead...I've always supported equals rights for EVERYONE...That includes celebritards who are fucking media whores...Do what you want, I just don't give shit...I won't be watching your fucking show, and I won't be following you on Twitter...

Then there was a lot of stink, because the super media whore factory ESPN, has decided to give Jenner their big Arthur Ashe award at their annual 'Let's pat ourselves on our backs' award show, The Espy's...The laundry list of athletes more worthy was widely reported...ESPN doesn't care, they are looking at selling ad time because they will be hyping the drama of seeing a former male, U.S. Olympic gold medalist, wearing a lovely evening gown...I have never watched the Espy's and I won't this year...

Next pile of shit I don't care about...These fucking Duggar people...Holy fucking shit...The Television industry should be ashamed of itself already...All this so-called "Reality TV" bullshit is such fucking nonsense....These fuckers have '19 Kids and Counting"...That's the name of their show...I've never watched, because I'm not fucking idiot...But I looked into them a bit after the news about their one asshole son broke...These people are full-blown-bat-shit-crazy!  Just fucked in the head...Then it comes out there one son has molested multiple girls...Including two of their daughters, HIS SISTERS!...They covered it up...They tried to "get him help"...The father even went to try to justify it by saying he did most of his molesting, "Over the clothes".....These fuckers can't die fast enough!  I'm still trying to figure out why the parents aren't in jail for covering it up...

Then I saw family members blaming the media for leaking the story out there, and 'Doing this to our lives." Really cunts!?!  You put your idiot life on TV...You have no problem with the media paying your fucking bills, to feed all those fucking mouths, but now the media is evil!  Again, these people can't die fast enough!

-Okay, I feel better...

Now, I live in Cleveland, but I have made it clear over the years that I don't like or follow basketball...And I have made it clear over the years, that I don't like LeBron James at all...(Long before "The Decision" I wrote about my distain for him)...So the Cavaliers are in the Finals, but I'm not willing to be Johnny Bandwagon...I'm not going to suddenly write like I know something about Basketball...I'm not even watching....If the Cavs win, I will not celebrate it, I won't suddenly be wearing Cavs gear...I will be happy for my friends who support the Cavs, but I'll stay true to myself, and remain not a basketball fan, and a LeBron James fan...

I did hear about the Kyrie Irving injury, and I saw the entire national media basically say that the Cavaliers have no chance...All I will say about this America, and Cleveland....The National Media is wrong more often then they are right...Just look to Vegas kids...Since the Irving broke his knee-cap, and media put the nail in the Cavs coffin, there has been a lot more money in Vegas being put on James and the Cavaliers...I put more stock in what the books are saying then the media....

-Saturday, American Pharoah won the Belmont Stakes, and completed the Triple Crown...The first time in 37 years....I'll be honest, I'm a cynical bastard...I had my money Frosted...I had American Pharoah coming in second...I mean shit, There have been a bunch of Triple Crown hopefuls in my lifetime, and I have seen them all fail...And while watching the Kentucky Derby, I really like how Frosted closed...I told my wife that day, "Frosted will win at Belmont."  Well, fuck me, I was wrong...

As they came around the last turn Frosted had started charging from the back, and was quickly in second coming down the stretch...Pharoah had been leading the whole way...Frosted was surging...But some how, American Pharoah just kept cruising...The horse just ran a smooth race, and finished five and a half lengths ahead of Frosted...The horse didn't even look tired...

Now American Pharoah, as long as his owners aren't stupid, is looking forward to a wonderful life...They shouldn't run this horse again...Don't even take a chance at a loss, or an injury...Just put him out to Stud... a life a relaxation, eating, and fucking! (Ahhhh, my dream!)  That's gonna be some expensive sperm!

-The Stanley Cup Finals were evened up Saturday as Tampa Bay pulled out the win...They seemed to push the tempo most of the game...The Strangest part of the game was Lightning goalie Ben Bishop coming out of the game twice in the third period...The second time for good...20 year old Andrei Vasilevsky filled the relief role well...He was tested heavily, and held the lead his team gave him...

The Lightning are not saying what caused Bishop to leave the game, and they are not saying who will start game 3 Monday night in Chicago...Some have speculated that it was a leg injury after Bishop was run into by Antoine Vermette...There are others that are speculating that Bishop had a case of the green apple splatters, and couldn't hold it...Vasilevsky looked calm in relief, and is a highly touted young goalie...And considering the inconsistent play of Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford, I'm not sure if it matters if either team needs to go with a their backup goalie...

That's it for now...

Have a week.
