Say Death to American Just One More Time
More Ramblings from A Grumpy Old Man… Are you sick of the anti-Israeli protesters. I am. But honestly I have never thought much about pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian groups. Those people have been fighting since 1882 when an Arab man was accidentally shot by a Jewish guard during a wedding. Every...

Inside The House of Deadbeats
Congressional Deadbeats presently have an approval rating of 12%, about the same as dirt. Disgraced president Richard Nixon’s approval rating never got that low. Inept president Jimmy Carter’s rating never got that low. George Santos from NY was recently expelled from Congress. His 13%…

J6 Committee Corruption
Respected journalist Mollie Hemingway and The Federalist has reported that Liz Cheney and her Cabal suppressed evidence during the sham January 6th committee proceedings. Turns out Trump requested 10,000 National Guard troops to be present for assistance at the Capitol for the gathering crowd.…

Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption
“Andy came to Shawshank Prison in early 1947 for murdering his wife and the fella she was bangin’.“ That was the famous line spoken by Morgan Freeman, aka Ellis “Red” Redman in the movie The Shawshank Redemption. How old were you when you found out that the movie was filmed at an Ohio State...

Presidential Popularity Polls
Webster tells us a scholar is a person who has done advanced study in a special field. It also calls a scholar a learned person. I’m going to show how that is not always true. Consider Webster’s words as you read the politically biased rubbish that 154 so-called-scholars unleashed for the liberal...

Don't Outlaw Guns, Outlaw Ant-Gun Groups
After being shot at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade the poor Lisa Lopez-Galvan had not been buried yet nor the family time to grieve before anti-gun zealots stomped all over her memory. The mother of two was the only person to die in the shootout. At least 22 other innocent people were...

We Are Being Besieged From Within
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you must be aware there are major issues at our southern border. At the same time, we are financing a war in Ukraine, fighting another war in the Middle East, struggling under Bidenomics, fearing China will glob onto Tawain, and evidently, white…

Independent Voters
According to a 2019 Pew Research Center report, 38% of Americans claim to be Independent. However, only 7% of voters are actually really true Independents. But then I read further, you know, past the first paragraph. Turns out, of the 38% claiming to be an Independent, 17% of them nearly always...

Voting For Biden
Ask yourself, are you better off now under Biden? A commentary appeared in a newspaper I also write for that bears mentioning – not so much for its journalistic excellence and insight, but for its lack of accuracy. This piece was so far left it could have been written for the Washington Compost…

Welcome To Club 27
Ever hear of the “27 Club?” It’s not something you want to subscribe to, and given the demographics of my readership, the opportunity has long passed us by. The 27 Club is a list of well-known musicians who “bit the dust” at the age of twenty-seven. The term took off in 1994 when Kurt Cobain of...

So Their Children Can Survive
As a grandfather of eleven grandchildren, I cannot imagine a worse day than to be told one of them has cancer or some other catastrophic disease. In my opinion that’s the place whale dung sits on in the totem pole of life.. We have a grandchild mysteriously losing her hearing, which pales in...
-
Webber's Endorsement for President
Next November 5th, I will be voting for Donald J. Trump for president. It will be the third time in nine years throwing my support his way. Initially, I voted for Trump because he was not a politician. He’s a self-made, wealthy businessman without political baggage. I admire people who can start...

A Christmas Story, A Nutcracker, A Mouse, And A Ballet
So, let me regale you this Christmas season with the rich history of this ballet. Most people know the Nutcracker as a musical written by Tchaikovsky, the Russian composer, in 1892, and little else. In fact, Tchaikovsky only wrote the music; about nine months before the ballet, which was...
-
The Ménage à Trois From Hell
I have had a mild interest in the modern technology called AI, or artificial intelligence. With my limited knowledge of computers, I might know more about women than AI technology. And even though I have been married to a great woman for over 43 years, I do not have much of a clue about her…

Call Me Suspicious But I Smell A Swamp
By now, you’ve probably heard of the efforts by certain states to remove Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot. Rhode Island is the most recent state to reject that effort. This rejection comes after similar dismissals from Florida, Colorado, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Michigan, and the District...

Biden Will Not Win
Not only do I not believe Biden will get the Democrat nomination, I also don’t believe the others running on the Democrat side will be the ultimate candidate. That would include Robert Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, Marianne Williamson, Dean Phillips, or somebody named Cenk Uygur. (If you’ve never…

Well I Done Got Old
It’s official. In the words of Buddy Guy, “Well I done got old.” In a moment of bitter sweetness, I got my first Social Security (SS) check this week. I could have received it 4 ½ years ago, but decided to wait until full retirement age, 66 years, 6 months. For the rest of my life, I will get…

Democrats Are Destroying This Country
Democrats, the dumpster fire that is the world right now is your fault. With heartfelt apologies, perhaps it’s time we take a break from the wall-to-wall coverage of the death of Matthew Perry to address other issues going on in the world. I’m surprised the media hasn’t gotten around to asking...
-
Speaker of The House Fiasco
Perhaps they have picked their guy by the time you read this, but I’m doubting it. The Republican party has failed miserably when it comes to naming a Speaker of the House. As of Tuesday, the country has been 20 days without a Speaker. This has become embarrassing and shows just how fractioned…

Hey Ball Fans, Stop The Insanity
How long will it be until we see the first billion-dollar player? Bleacher Report listed twelve major league baseball players who should get contracts of a hundred million dollars or more during the off-season. Sadly, for Cubs fans, Cody Bellinger is on that list, meaning he won’t be a Cub next...

Meanwhile Back in Chebanse
Alan shares a story dating back to 1969 from his childhood in Chebanse, IL. Alan also touches on other subjects including Israel, Harvard University, Lowell Observatory, and more.

Newsome's Choice Is Not So "EFN" Golden
California senator Dianne Feinstein’s death last week was great fodder for the media machine, but highly inconvenient for the Democrats, and more particularly, California governor Gavin Newsome. So, now all eyes are looking west to Governor Newsome as he has the task of naming a replacement to…

Chicago's Tent Cities
Fox News recently reported Chicago’s plan for housing the recent influx of illegal immigrants. The report states there are currently about 2,200 illegal immigrants housed in 21 shelters in Chicago police stations and airports. Chicago has contracted with a private security firm named Garda-World...
-
The Five Greatest Guitarists
Microsoft Bing recently listed their five greatest guitarists in history. I chuckled that they thought they were qualified of producing such a list. How bad was it? Eddie Van Halen was listed by his birth-name, Edward. Eddie wore short pants the last time that happened. The list got my juices...
-
Understanding Biden Voters
They defy logic. Last Thursday, September 7th, CNN ran an article stating, “Biden’s defenders brush off concerns over his age and approval rating as polls show warning signs.” While it’s difficult to trust CNN reporting, and their ratings would suggest most of America feels that way, it was the...
-
Using The 14th Amendment To Deny Trump
Why is the Deep State so afraid of Trump? The newest ploy by the Swamp may be more sinister than what we’ve seen to date. Not content with allowing the court system to work – even with shady characters like Jack Smith – or leave representation up to voters, now another group is coming after…

Sorry Bear Fans, Not This Year Either
Hello sports fans, ready for some football? The 2023 Pro football season starts next week, and we have one of the most iconic match-ups in all of sports first on the agenda. For the 207th time, those goons from Chicago, the Bears, will play the beloved and rugged men in green and gold, the Green...

The 1st GOP Debate of The 2024 POTUS Race
I watched the GOP primary debate from my living room last Wednesday, having not been contacted by FOX for tickets. In between listening to combatants talk over each other, I was texting my cousin, who is also a politically conservative animal. I was literally thinking how I wished they’d turn off...
-
No Longer United, It's The Banana Republic of America
The only action that will bring this country back up from this sanctimonious sewer is to resoundingly re-elect Donald Trump.
-
A Closer Look At Vivek Ramaswamy
Much to my horror, a good friend might have fallen off the Trump train. He’s always been for Trump passionately but inexplicably is leaning toward Vivek Ramaswamy. While I’m on record stating Mr. Ramaswamy would be an excellent choice for president, I just don’t think he can win the presidency in...
-
Suggestions From A Whippernsnapper
Perhaps it would be easier to pass age limit restrictions than term limits. An age limit restriction would have the benefit of limiting terms to some degree. The fact is, we don’t need the aged with little energy and geriatric issues meandering the halls of Congress. If I were to be introducing…

Try That In A Small Town
Have you heard about the new “contentious” song by country singer Jason Aldean? Well, I hadn’t until about a week ago when a friend sent it to me, knowing it would trip my trigger. She’s like that. If you haven’t heard it, run…don’t walk, to your nearest internet source, google YouTube, turn up…

On Affirmative Action
The affirmative action decision by the Supreme Court, striking down racial consideration policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina spurred me into looking into those universities a little closer. The biggest thing learned is that back in 1975, when I was considering what to do with...

Impeach Garland and Mayorkas, But Slow Walk "The Big Guy"
By now, it should be obvious to everyone that Dad and Lad Biden are up to their chins in corruption. Even the most fervent left-leaner must have that sinking feeling that this is not going to end well for Joe, perhaps carrying through the 2024 election. I imagine, in their head, they’re blaming…

The Shiftless, and Now Censured, Adam Schiff
California representative Adam Schiff was censured by the US House of Representatives on Wednesday, June 21, evidently, much to his delight. This action came about due to Schiff’s repeated false accusations that Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with Russia, which ultimately lead to Trumps impeachment.

An American Scandal
We’re living in an historic era, one that will be written about extensively long after we’re gone. Unfortunately, our history might not be seen favorably. We may be seen as the generation that witnessed our government taken over while we slept. As we argue over gender and race, work less, and get...

My Take on the PGA & LIV Merger
The announcement the Professional Golf Association (PGA), the DP World Tour (Europe’s version of the PGA), and the LIV Tour are merging is not without precedent in professional sports. In 1903, the National League and the American League merged to form the North American Professional Baseball...

Reflections from White Trash
Surfing the net in search of stories to comment on for my podcast, I came across a CNN headline, entitled “How to End Trumpism.” https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/01/opinions/james-comey-donald-trump-zelizer/index.html As I’m leaning towards voting for Trump, the opinion piece caught my eye, even if it...

Where's My Buffalo?
The other day I was listening to an album by a band you probably never heard of – Mason Profit. They put out a nice album in 1973 called Come & Gone. In the 70’s, neither me nor my friends listened much to the words as it was all about the sound – blazing guitars and booming drums. Mason Profit...

The King of Beers No More
Recently, my wife and I were watching television when, lo and behold, a new Budweiser commercial appeared. If I were a beer drinker, and if I didn’t know the back story on the Budweiser issue, the commercial might have actually induced me to buy Budweiser beer. Some elaboration is in order....

If Penny, Then Byrd
Daniel Penny (24) is the Marine that put Jordan Neely (30) in a choke-hold, after Neely began threatening passengers on a New York subway, resulting in Neely’s death last week. Michael Byrd (56) is the Capitol Police Lt. who shot Ashli Babbitt (35) in the face after Babbitt tried to crawl through…

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - Viable Candidate or Zealot
“The Democratic Party seems to have lost its bearings and…lost its will or even the capacity to think about changing the system.” That statement was issued by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently in an interview with Greta Van Susteren. Damning words from a member of Democrat royalty going back a century.

It's Worse Than 9-11
The 2024 election is shaping up to be the most important in our history. In many of my past columns I have railed against Joe Biden’s election, claiming it was rigged, as well as his mental capacity to run this country. Much of what I said and predicted seems to be coming true. I may be just a…

Tucker & the Boneheads
Listeners of this podcast are aware I’m a huge Tucker Carlson fan. I recorded his show nightly to watch over coffee the following morning. I often used Carlson’s material as a source for some of my commentaries. Occasionally, he was the impetus behind the commentary. Carlson was unafraid to go up...

Welcome to The Jungle
It comes up in conversation with friends and colleagues that people cannot recall America ever being so divided. The rancor is so bitter, which has not been seen in the lifetimes of people of our generation. A great deal of the rancor is no doubt due to Trump’s election. For reasons I’m unable to...

Floggins From the Whipping Post
Slimy Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg has his shorts in a wad. Congress is investigating whether he used Federal funds in his pursuit of filing sham charges against a former president in order to fulfill a campaign promise. He doesn’t think that’s fair.
-
April 4th - A Day of Infamy
On April 4th, an ignorant Democrat prosecutor/shill by the name of Alvin Bragg came out from underneath his rock. Fulfilling a campaign promise, the Manhattan district attorney drug a former US president into court to be arraigned on thirty-four trumped up indictments. This is a reprobate who has...
