I need to get back to writing better stuff. I keep saying it, but man I want to have a stronger voice. That doesn’t come back accident. It is a practice. Writing is a practice.

Politics are a very clear reflection of who can best manipulate the populace. I don’t believe people are inherently racist or evil. I think we all just want a leg up. We want that American Dream, or at least a shot at it. However, we are so often being told that other groups or other people who don’t look like us are getting better advantages and that makes us feel bad. I mean consider this: Ruby Bridges, the first black child to integrate schools did that in 1960. That’s, what 66 years ago that we had segregation? That means my mother was alive during segregation, a period in which one group clearly had a leg up. Since the Obama administration there has been this assumption that the roles are somehow reversed now. I find that disturbing. That is what politics can do.

My youngest is getting shafted in the press. We’re at the top, what 80 out of 150 FB players in the class of 2027? He hasn’t been mentioned in spite of offers from Hawaii, Tulane, Northern Arizona, Northern Iowa, and Idaho. He’s getting strong interest from Northwestern and Iowa State–both P4 schools. Yet he’s nowhere near the top of the list of players at his position? Yeah, It annoys.

A lot of things annoy me lately about the way life works out. Above all others is how some people can act like a complete idiot in public and there be no consequence for it. I find that disturbing.
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Appeals court spares Trump from paying $83 million defamation award to E. Jean Carroll — for now” He’s claiming immunity among other things as he continues to defame. Honestly, I think he’s hoping she dies so the clock runs out. Who knows, but this entire situation is bonkers… and allegedly headed to the Supreme Court. The grift is real.
