I’m fifty-six years old and enjoy being on social media. I have a twitter account, am on Facebook, do a weekly podcast and of course I have my blog that I thank you so much for reading. I mention my age for a reason. I’m not sure of what exactly happens on Facebook but all of a sudden some of my adult friends have been acting like a bad scene from “Beverly Hills 90210.” I understand that these times are tumultuous and people are on edge but why would anyone get angry over the opinion of someone else? If you are confident of YOUR belief then shouldn’t you feel sorry for the person of different opinion?

If you are familiar with Facebook then you are aware of how to drop “friends.” You highlight their profile, click on the mouse a few times and they are now eliminated. It’s quite similar to getting a ride home from Aaron Hernandez. Facebook teaches you a lot about who your “true” friends are. One weekend, as a kid, my father was in the basement saying “fuck” a lot. That meant he was working on the washing machine. Dad liked to give life advice while he was doing this so I made my way into the utility room. Within five minutes Dad told me; “You watch…later in life you will be able to count your true friends on one hand.” Then he lost his grip on the ratchet and slammed his hand against the agitator and yelled “Son of a Bitch!!!”

A few days ago I was looking at my friends list on Facebook and noticed more than a handful of people had “dropped me as a friend.” I was taken aback at first. I used to work in the radio business for close to thirty years. Some of these folks were colleagues and people that tried to HIRE me. I paused…took a breath…..and thought back to what my dad told me when I was a kid. Then I laughed and said “Son of a Bitch!!”

I spend a lot of time on the internet. I read a lot and do a superfluous amount of research and it just doesn’t add up. Many polls have Joe Biden with a ten point lead as we approach the two week countdown to Election 2020. It doesn’t make any sense.

If you have listened to my podcast then you are well aware of the allegations against Hunter and Joe Biden. I told you about this in March of 2020. It now appears that Joe Biden used his drug addicted son to launder money from Ukraine. Is that a surprise to you? That’s just one of the reasons the swamp needs to be drained. How come the Biden camp has not refuted the existence of the laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter? I have been accused of things I did not do and I made enough noise to wake the dead.

Sleepy Joe tried to use the Chinese Plague as an excuse to hide in the basement and to stop the successful Trump rallies. Trump knows how to adapt and he started doing rallies outside at various airports. The sight of Air Force One behind the podium as he speaks to the massive amount of supporters gives me chills. Thanks for helping the Trump brand, Sleepy Joe.

Look….Trump is an acquired taste. He’s not for everyone but I go to sleep at night knowing my President will protect the United States of America and protect our Constitution. I don’t have to worry about him making backdoor deals with countries only for personal benefit. If Joe Biden does not care about his drug addicted son then why should he care about you?? He shouldn’t….he doesn’t….and he won’t!!!

Times are very strange right now. Go in the basement. Wear a mask. Bars not open. Bars open. Fifty-percent on restaurants…you know what I mean. I’m trying to move my mother from West Palm Beach to Cleveland to be with family. The Chinese Virus has caused delays. Mother has some health issues. My Mother is my rock….she’s my very best friend…I am lost without her and not ashamed to admit it. Mom is all alone….going through the Chinese Virus lockdown and health issues all by herself. As I write this mother is waiting for the results of a biopsy she had on Friday. This battle has been going on for awhile. The results of a bad x-ray were not expected.

My mother has never played the victim. She has never blinked an eye or shed a tear. Her only concern has been for the health of me..her only child. It’s the the ultimate sacrifice of unselfishness. Do not judge courage by appearance or stature. I’m 6’2 and 265 pounds and my mother is bent over at 4’11 but stands much taller than me in soul and character. If you believe in the next level, which I do, concentrate on the soul. You can go to the gym to work out your body yet the soul is eternal and needs the same attention. Make every day and moment count.

People protest after a Black man identified as Jacob Blake was shot several times by police in Kenosha

Every night when I go to bed I tell myself that “tomorrow will be different.”  I wake up, turn on the news and see that another building in another city is on fire and it’s chaos in the streets.  I’m not a huge fan of the police.  They are underpaid and lack sufficient training not to mention they have no idea on how to handle anyone with a mental illness but they don’t deserve to be attacked by a bunch of criminals.  I understand being upset with law enforcement but you just can’t go around committing crimes because things didn’t go your way.  It’s not all about YOU!

For some reason this blatant criminal activity has been allowed to happen.  This only encourages the barbaric behavior to continue.  The police need help.  They need to make a statement.  They need to regain the streets.  They need the National Guard.  The problem is the National Guard has to be activated by the Governor of that particular state and what is happening is Democratic Governors will not make that call.  In other words, they would rather sacrifice the safety and lives of the citizens that elected them for their own partisan beliefs.  That’s just pure evil.

Sports teams are not playing because they are appalled at the shooting of Jacob Blake, a black man from Kenosha, Wisconsin by police this weekend.  I don’t have a problem if you want to change the world but that’s not your mission.  You are supposed to run fast, jump high and sweat a lot.  You don’t like making millions of dollars?  Fine….just quit the team, move to Tibet and stand on your head with a freaking llama.  Let me know when Angelina Jolie shows up to adopt another half dozen kids.

Americans are now shooting Americans.  The country is imploding from within.  Let me offer you some advice to stay alive.  If you don’t want to get shot….stay away from people that are throwing rocks, burning buildings and breaking into stores.  If for some reason a police officer tells you to “stop” don’t keep trying to get away especially if there are three active warrants for your arrest.  It’s also a bad idea to grab an officer’s taser before ya run away.  Before ya know it shots will be fired and the local Wendy’s will be on fire.

Our cities are under attack.  Black Lives Matter is a social terrorist group with it’s roots deep in the fermentation of evil.  A statement needs to be made but it’s not up to us to go downtown wearing camo pants and playing Rambo.  The enemy has nothing to lose.  You have a job, income, friends, a family and most importantly….you don’t rely on a skateboard for transportation and you don’t smell like urine.  If they happen to walk up your driveway…that’s a different story.  I’d let ’em have it, pressure clean the driveway and then call the medical examiner.  Be safe out there!!

death-penalty

Funny thing that happens as you get older….you actually do get smarter.  Knowledge is the key to faith and in order to obtain knowledge you have to seek wisdom.  When you are open to obtaining wisdom you must realize that you may understand things that used to confuse you and your opinions on “things you have figured out” might just change.  That happened to me recently on my view of the death penalty.

I recently took a two week sabbatical away from the news and social media and I read the Bible.  Parts of the Old Testament were not easy for me but it answered a lot of questions that I had been pondering.  I used to be for the death penalty but now I am against it.  First of all the criminal justice system fails more than you know.  A LOT of people incarcerated are the victims of a bad judge, a greedy prosecutor and an inexperienced defense attorney or a combination of all three.  If innocent citizens are in jail then there is a pretty good chance an innocent life has already been taken.

You may argue in the Bible it says “An eye for an eye.”  It also says “Turn the other cheek” and “Vengeance Belongs To God.”  We are not God.  We should not play God.  For these simple reasons I believe life was given by God and shall be taken by Him as well.  Thanks for reading.

2020 world

The re-opening of America has begun.  Fifty states….fifty governors…..fifty different ideas.  Some states will not be open until the end of June.  Some people wear masks.  Some people don’t.  We are not United….we have become the Divided States of America.

I’m gonna be fifty-six in a few weeks.  My habits and opinions have been formed and they are not gonna change.  I am in a high risk group and I don’t want to wear a mask.  I don’t like one way aisles in the grocery store.  I am anti-social by nature but I will never get used to social distancing.  I’m in my basement and I don’t really want to be a part of the world that awaits me outside of my home.

Sports have been cancelled.  The NFL season is in jeopardy.  There are rumors that the games will be played in empty stadiums.  I don’t want that.  I want the way it used to be.  I want it to be familiar to me.  I don’t want to adapt to the “new rules” and I won’t.  Some people will have a problem with what I say but a funny thing happened while I was getting older—suddenly we all don’t give a shit.  It’s refreshing.  All of a sudden you don’t have to keep track of all the lies you told to protect someone’s feelings.

I think this restart is gonna be a disaster.  No one is even close to being on the same page and everyone changes what they believe or what they want enforced on a daily basis.  I’m not sure what the future will bring so I am going back to what I know.  I am going back to what got me through fifty-five years on this earth.  I’m going back to the way I lived life in 2019.  Be safe friends.

life

I think we all have been doing a lot of reflecting in the past few months.  I left radio in 2011 and have been battling various health issues ever since.  Radio was fun…..key word there is “WAS.”  I am not bitter.  I played the cards I was dealt but with hindsight being 20/20 I made a lot of bad decisions.

I am a creative person by nature.  I love to speak and write.  I don’t take orders very well….I prefer to give them.  I had this luxury in radio and as long as I was left alone by management I was happy and successful.  Radio forced me to move around a lot.  I am now back in Cleveland because of family and good health care.  My eighty year old mother lives in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, I am not married and don’t have any pets or children.  My quest is to move mom here.

If I had to do it all over again I would have stayed here in Northeast Ohio.  This is home.  I ran away from all my problems when I was eighteen and now I’m back to make the best of the time I have left.  I should have paid more attention in high school.  I have been making up for lost time by watching a lot of documentaries and reading…..it’s not the same.  I had the chance…..I blew it.

I would have made a great attorney.  I’m a perfectionist and a workaholic.  I like to argue when I am confident of my beliefs…..be forewarned….I am very confident.  Life is short and you have only one chance.  When my time on Earth is done I hope I have made up enough of my “wasted time” to go to the next level……after all….isn’t that truly our main purpose in this world?  Thanks for reading.
