I grew up in rural Virginia, one of 6 children. My father worked in a factory on rotating shifts. He never went to college. At age 24 he joined the Eighth Airforce and flew 38 missions as a bomber pilot during WWII. My mother stayed home and raised us until my younger sisters were inContinue reading “White Privilege is Hard to Swallow”

A few days ago, our local paper “The Daily Fishwrap” ran a front page article about black students being suspended from school. The “investigative journalist” used data from the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, a non-profit located in Durham. According to their recent study, black students are disproportionately disciplined and even suspended from school. accordingContinue reading “Discipline in our Schools”

It is painful to watch Joe Biden. Over the weekend Biden fell 3 times while going up a flight of stairs. It was sad to watch. He is 78 years old and no one would want to see an elderly man fall. I hope he did not hurt himself. Along with these recent falls, heContinue reading “Joe Biden (aka Hollow Man)”

Updated March 22, 2022 The word merit means being worthy and talented enough to deserve praise and reward. That word has been used in the US for well over 100+ years. Yet today, many of our national leaders on the left would like to eliminate merit as a criterion for selection, reward, advancement and praise.Continue reading “Merit”

The unions have political power. They contribute huge sums of money to political campaigns, supporting candidates that favorably treat the union. Provide campaign funding to selectedContinue reading “Teacher union demands”

It seems to me that the race baiting industry has over looked a very large sports industry. Where is the national outcry for more diversity among the current NBA players? As of 2020, the NBA was 74.2 % black. Only 16.9% of the league players are white. Where is the outcry? With numbers such asContinue reading “Diversity in the NBA”

Guess we do not really have a southern boarder. Immigrants from many of the Latin America countries, and many other countries are paying two or three drug cartels $2,500 to $5,000 per person to get smuggled through our boarder. You would have to be very stupid to assume these immigrants to be entirely decent people.Continue reading “Our southern boarder”

Our current president is frail and mentally impaired. Watch him on TV. He can’t remember dates, numbers, names, his location, and more importantly, what he is doing. This is scary. He is supposed to be the leader of the free world. to be president he should be strong, energetic, hard working, intelligent, and a veryContinue reading “Hollow Man Biden”

The US needs a new immigration plan. Maybe? Of this, I am not sure. So–I would start like this: Strictly enforce our current immigration policies and laws. Fully enforce, not selectively or inconsistently. I believe many of our current laws and enforcement actions benefit the country. And-we can learn the effectiveness of all. We willContinue reading “My immigration plan”

Mr. Hollow Man in Washington has decreed an increase to the “federal minimum wage”. Why??? Who does that help? Do we really need the loons in Washington to dictate wages for a restaurant chain in Mississippi or a furniture factory in Arkansas? I say let the free market dictate wages. Business people know you payContinue reading “$15 Minimum Wage”
