What is your take on this?

September 11, 2016 ~ Sunday morning I received an email from Father O’Leary asking me the question posed in the title of this column.

I was referred to a column on Economy and Market entitled, Harvard Economist Warns “$700 Gold by Mid-2017. While visiting the column, I noticed another column titled, “Property Prices to Drop 40%” (in actuality – it was an advertisement).

Well – for one – if “column” #2 is accurate then the Harvard Economist is an idiot – but we are getting away from the point of this post…

My response to the Good Man that he is… Continue reading

April 4, 2019 ~ The Facebook Chronicles

An interesting hour on Facebook tonight. As always there are posts to smile about, cry about, get angry about, but of course – what bothers me is having put efforts into posting information that is submitted to educate and help people. No foul language – no smart-aleck comments – just superb, well researched information – in this case – related to issues which DO affect YOUR health and well-being, but then the new “rules” at Facebook – are against this kind of information.

So, I get this email from Neal…

Once in awhile when I complete a column (of course I hadn’t posted one of my own since early in the year) I’ll send it out to a select few people – you know they type – the ones who CARE about America – the ones who COUNT – the ones who GIVE A SHIT!?!?!?

So the day goes on and I hear from Granny (#1), Biesada (the ONLY one), Ewart (who gets fed up from time to time as well) and finally – Ross. You remember Ross don’t you? He’s the intellectual, who idolizes and reads the likes of Tommy Jefferson (who helped move an entire nation on up), little Jimmy Madison, Slammin’ Sammy Adams, and the other guy who had been to Franklin. Then there was the joint smokin’ dude from the Mount Vernon Country Club and his buddy who got killed – you know – the cat on the $10 bill – Hamilton Beach. He has read and studied the words of P. Henry (no relation to ‘O’) – and a whole bunch of those founding Muthas!

Nice history lesson Huh?? Gotcha hooked now, don’t I? Continue reading

St. Valentines Day Massacre

Ten years has passed since this column was penned. SOME of the names have changed – the financial numbers have only increased multi-fold, and the filth and scum who have permeated the HOLLOW halls of Government have become even more anti-America than ever before. PLEASE – reach back into history and call up the ghosts of Al Capone and his boys to do what we as a people do not have the guts to do. MASSACRE! Happy St. Valentines day Al – you are sorely missed – you KNEW how to get the job done – without remorse. ~ Ed.

February 14, 2009The following was sent to each and every Senator in the United States Senate on this day.

To all the guilty parties concerned, Happy Valentines Day – we’ve been massacred. CON-gress took a good lesson from Al Capone, and he has been in the grave for decades, so you can’t blame this one on him!

Although not surprised at the outcome of the events, which have taken place in both houses of CON-gress over the past several weeks, frankly – I am shocked, at the cavalier manner, in which this package has been crammed down the throats of generations of Americans to come.

Finding Josephine

Inspired by letters he reads when he buys a 150-year old farmhouse, Writer/Director Rory Feek pens a story about the wife of a civil war soldier who enlists in the army and fights her way across the country to find her missing husband.

Thanks to Granny – I have been following the story of Joey and Rory for some years now, but what you are about to watch is the trailer for a brand new movie – and it is a true and total surprise. More than this – it is a TRUE story.

Of course Hollywood won’t back it or put it in the theaters – ’cause it ain’t got any of those “funny-folk” in it. But you can pre-order a copy for yourself. ~ Ed.

Read the complete story as to how it all came together…

Takeout…

Why not. I am sick of cooking this meal that few appreciate any longer anyway. HEY – just go stuff that turkey… Up YOURS. Gimme a steak, a ham – a freaking Hackney’s burger on Black Rye with a full order of Onion Rings. The hell with it – two orders of rings. Oh yeah – THAT would be the life. Fourteen hours for what? So people can snarkily eye each other at the dinner table and finish eating in 20 to 25 minutes and don’t even give thanks for the meal? Then just who in the hell do you think washes the dishes? Yup – KFC – home of the headless, featherless, fattened up GMO-fed Bucket-O-Chicken-shit.

I’ll see y’all at Sundown,

SEX Sells ~ even in Politics!

October 27, 2018 ~ So I was awakened this morning with a phone call from some pushy woman doing a survey as to whether I had received my voting packages in the mail, to which I responded that I had. She then raised her voice in a snotty manner and demanded to know, “When are you going to send them in?” I told her, “When the people of Arizona start putting up quality people for office” and then told her to leave me alone. HEY – she woke me up out of a sound sleep – whaddya want? Continue reading

My history with Stinkin’ Lincoln

Few remember the 1968 Broadway play, ‘HAIR’. A live performance originally performed at the Biltmore Theatre, 261-5 West 47th St. in New York City. I did not see it in New York, but while on R&R in Tokyo in ’69 (from ‘nam) I stayed at a hotel that was also hosting the Chicago cast for performances in that city. Only one performance was held, due to the nudity on stage. The cast and play were subsequently banned from further performances due to pornography laws. I was privileged to spend several evenings in the bar and restaurant with that cast and made some interesting friends, many of who I would meet up with again when I was released from the Army after my 21 months “in country.” Continue reading

Traveller

Robert E. Lee On His Horse Traveller

I made a decision earlier in the week to take my fourteen year old granddaughter, Bully – north to Prescott for a day (an overnight stay) with her seven year old cousin, Sneaky Bob. A deal was made with her, because in many respects, she is just like the individual that she calls ‘Daddy,’ who was and is a veritable SLOB! She is not a slob – but she is messy as all hell get out and trying to get her to keep her room clean is the impossible dream. She did the job – not perfect – but to the point where I knew that she needed this trip… Continue reading

A question of “illegal voters” ~ REDUX

It is time to recycle this column…. On May 5th, 2010, I received an email from a reader, inquiring about “proof,” that voting by those who were not eligible to vote, was in fact taking place in the united States. His question arose, because of a discussion he had had, with a hard-left Democrat, as related to the topic of votes cast by illegal aliens.

We submit to you, the author’s letter, and my response to him. JB Continue reading

In answer to your question…

Several days ago – with the aid of this image from my very talented friend Louis Turner, I posted the following comment on Facebook: My friends – we each have our distinctive beliefs, but there are times that we must band together for the greater good. An invasion from our Southern border is going to affect each of us… and there are other issues that we may have to put aside for awhile. There is already enough hate and anger in this nation as it is, and as Sydney Greenstreet’s character, Mr. Peters in the 1940’s Warner Bros film, ‘The Mask of Dimitrios‘ stated, “There’s not enough kindness in the world.”

Following the image is the response from a friend and reader.

Gird up your loins and prepare for battle my friends…

I’ll see you at Sundown.

The good got lazy and the wicked were emboldened. The good fell asleep and thought that they had it made when they were only partially good. The wicked got wickeder, a lot of lies were told and tricks played on the naive and trusting and this has brought us to today. Because people forgot to stand up to evil and to pray. ~ Susan Pendell, October 25, 2018

…bridges, not walls!

This has been an unusual 24 hours in my life… I could not sleep well last night, but…

On and off throughout the day while working on-line I find that I must return to music to calm my anxiety – and believe me – with all of the hate and the anger that we are all witnessing in this nation today – my anxiety grows. But this time it was not music which affected me… Last night I visited several web-pages dealing with Trump’s day on Earth yesterday. One event was the official White House welcoming of Judge Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. The second event was the President speaking before a major police organization.

The majority of the comments posted (in a Facebook format) while the events continued, were of a uplifting, positive and congratulatory type, but they were also spattered with notes and messages of HATE, and I thought to myself, ‘doesn’t it ever stop?‘ When does the hate go away? Continue reading

Without Apology…

Editor’s NOTE: I am not the author of the following, however it is exactly how I feel. The hell with the haters, the Hillary’s and Obama’s, and the leftist polly-ticians from California, We are either all American’s or we are not. Well… the Illegal Invaders and the Akbars don’t count. The following was posted on Facebook by Richard H. Hix.~ JB

I offer no apology for what I am posting. For this is truly how I feel. Please know this is my opinion and not open for debate. If you disagree, or find my position offensive, we can agree to disagree!

In my lifetime, I have neither seen, nor heard of a President scrutinized over every word he speaks, humiliated by the public to the point of disgrace, slandered, ridiculed, insulted, lied to and about beyond common logic, threatened with death, his wife, our beautiful First Lady disrespected and threatened with rape, and his children also insulted and humiliated.

The Way We Were…

…and the way it was!

I grew up in a little town about 25 miles north of Chicago called Northbrook, Ilinois at a time when everyone treated each other with respect. We didn’t eat a lot of fast food. We drank Kool-aid, ate lunch meat sandwiches, PB&J sandwiches, grilled cheese sandwiches, hot dogs, but mostly home made meal such as meatloaf, fried chicken, roast beef & pork chops, black eye peas, snap peas…

We grew up during a time when we would gather glass bottles to take to the store and use the deposit money to buy penny candy. (We even got a brown paper bag to put the candy in). You sure could get a lot for 25 cents. We went outside to play games, rode bikes, jumped rope and raced against sibling played hide and seek, Red Rover, Red light green light, mother may I, kick the can and yes the games got more daring as we grew…There was no bottled water, no microwave or cable tv, no cell phones, no hair straighteners… Continue reading

Common Ground…

the Short Take of it all

We are all heated. We are all angry – many of us for the same reasons – many for even other reasons. The entire political system in this country from the top down is rotten. The pussies, the snowflakes and the spoiled brats are angry – but they aren’t even sure why, so they get paid to go out and raise hell and protest, but when asked “why” – most don’t even have an answer. Antifa and some of the other spoiled groups are getting paid under the table by – maybe Soros, maybe someone else. And then that worthless lying Porch Monkey comes out of his hiding place (from the bath house?) and is stirring up even more anger and confusion. It is going to get real ugly real soon. We must all find common ground among us, and stop wasting our time with the small stuff. It gets us nowhere.

I’ll see you at Sundown…

What the Hell Happened to America?

It is the study of history that teaches us to hope.” ~ Robert Edward Lee

This equestrian statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was removed from downtown Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017.

It is Monday night (Labor Day 2018) and the first time I have been away from the home/office since Friday night. Much has been accomplished relating to website updates and the continued merging of several aspects of the ultimate goal, but some things have happened that I have become aware of – other events which I have been following.

Let me provide you with some background for the purpose of this post…

This first part of our story began on July 11th of this year when I had finally reached the end of my rope with all of the hatred and anger in this nation, so much of which has been stirred up by the so-called ‘media.’ I had made a decision to begin shutting down many of my efforts – efforts which I had launched seven weeks before 9/11.

Good morning America…

August 21, 2018 ~ What happened at UNC Chapel Hill last night is sickening. This memorial stands in memory of the 1,800 UNC students that were called to service by their State, many of whom lost their lives never returned home to their families. UNC is noteworthy for providing more students to the war than any other university in America. The front of the monument actually depicts a student dropping his textbooks while looking up to a woman symbolizing North Carolina calling him to duty. Continue reading
