(September 23, 2025) It’s been over a week since Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested, and the Elites on both coasts are still in full-blown panic mode. Diddy has been one of THE major players in the music industry for decades, a multimillionaire (possibly a billionaire), an entrepreneur and influencer who hobnobbed with A-listers on a regular basis. Now he’s facing a minimum of 15 years to life for sex trafficking and RICO charges, and everyone who ever attended one of his infamous parties is terr...
Here's my guaranteed no-fail pumpkin cheesecake recipe: -go to Costco -buy a pumpkin cheesecake -serve slathered in whipped cream to cover up the pumpkin taste No, I'm not a fan of pumpkin. I like the seeds, but pie? No. Pumpkin pie spiced latte? Seriously? Do I look like a man bun-wearing hipster soy boy? I think not! For some reason I can't begin to fathom, pumpkin pie spice has become the official flavor of fall. So, to help you celebrate, here's a recipe to make your own Fall Spice Mix, and...
The No. 2 Debate October 2, 2024–I expected the Vice Presidential debate to be a big, stinking pile of No. 2. I was only mildly disappointed. I can say two good things about it: it's over, and we won’t have to endure another one. Okay, three things: it wasn’t as badly biased as the Trump/Harris debate. Tiny props to CBS for that. It was amusing to watch J.D. Vance fact check the fact checkers on the CBP One app. That made me giggle. Then, I dozed off halfway through because BORING, until right...
(October 2, 2024) - Hoover - Robin Litaker hosted a Meet & Greet on Tuesday night before the Vice Presidential debate. Litaker, the Republican nominee in the AL-7 congressional race, met with supporters at Brock's Gap Brewery, adjacent to the Hoover Met. Litaker had this to say after the debate: "When JD Vance took the stage, it became crystal clear who's fighting for the future of America. Vance, alongside Trump's leadership, stands against the broken policies that have allowed the Middle East...
October 4, 2024–Dear Congress: Helene victims need help now. Could you please tear yourself away from campaigning and go into a special session to make FEMA actually do its job? Or let the US Military help secure Americans in mortal peril? I realize that nothing is more important to you than making the world safe for re-election, and you don’t get kickbacks and massive donations from ordinary Americans, but occasionally your constituents need help, too. After all, you weren’t elected just to se...
October 9, 2024–Anthropomorphic animals as a vehicle for telling morality tales has a history that stretches back millennia. Orwell's Animal Farm is perhaps the best known contemporary form of this style that combines a sweeping morality tale with biting political commentary. These types of stories are difficult to write, as the author has to walk a fine line between the reality of the situation he or she wishes to skewer and the suspension of belief needed to accept talking horses, pigs and g...
(August 2, 2024) Can the Democrats be sued for false advertising? They’ve completely abandoned “democracy“ for the third Presidential cycle in a row, so I think they should be forced to rebrand themselves to reflect what they actually stand for. Donorcrats? Elitocrats? DeathToAmericrats? Surely there’s a Consumer Protection statute or six out there that applies. Or, could be made to apply under the Bragg Precedence (namely, we don’t need a crime to charge you for…something or other). In...
All men are born with the genetic knowledge and desire to cook meat over fire. It springs from the gender unconscious and forms a large part of the archetypal zeitgeist of what it is to be a Man. Every Grill Master has his own special techniques, tips and tricks. To help you win the Grill Wars by producing the perfect steak this summer, here are a few of mine. The grill: I've used a lot of grills, and nothing works better for all-around use than an old-school charcoal grill. Yes, it's more...
(August 7, 2024) Tuesday, Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her Vice-Presidential running mate. Yes, he’s a radical Lefty—but so is Kamala. Yes, he’s an experienced politician (12 years in Congress, Governor since 2018) who’s basically an unknown nonentity outside of his own State and the hardcore political junkie class. Yes, he’s a little creepy and ookie in a whiny, aging soy boy kind of way. Yes, he was chosen in large part to satisfy the far-left wing of the party which has...
(August 12, 2024) The 2024 Paris Olympics are done! Compared to the blasphemous crime against good taste that was the opening, the closing ceremonies were rather plain, verging on boring. Yes, there was the Tom Cruise stunt, which is undoubtedly part of the marketing for Mission Impossible 37, or whatever number they’re up to. The fireworks were not terribly impressive, nor was the National Anthem done by some artist I’ve never heard of (and quite frankly, won’t be looking for on Spotify). Now t...
(August 13, 2024) President Trump marked his return to X (formerly Twitter) with a conversation with Elon Musk on Spaces Monday evening. Spaces is the live-streaming part of X, and was what Ron DeSantis used to launch his campaign all those months ago. Of course, that Spaces was a disaster—the platform couldn’t handle the load—and was a tremendous embarrassment for both DeSantis and Musk. It was a portent of things to come for DeSantis’ campaign. Musk apologized, and moved on, and promise...
(August 20, 2024) I watched as much of Monday’s DNC as I could stand. All in all, about two minutes. Maybe less. Honestly, I just couldn’t make myself watch any more. I haven’t seen so many self-aggrandizing narcissists and floridly delusional souls since I worked the admissions unit at Bryce. That, plus the bare-faced lies of these people? Unwatchable. At the very least, very difficult to watch without the intense desire to reprogram the TV with an axe. Maybe that’s why the DNC’s main prog...
August 23, 2024) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. formally suspended his Presidential campaign and encouraged his supporters in "about 10" swing states to support President Donald J. Trump. Kennedy said that his name would remain on the ballot in most states, but would be removed in critical swing states where he would be a "spoiler" in the election. Prior to Friday's announcement, his name had already been removed from the ballot in Arizona and Pennsylvania. Recent polling has shown that a three-way race...
(August 26, 2924) Last Friday, the American political world shifted on its axis. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his independent Presidential campaign on Friday afternoon and threw his support behind Donald J. Trump. That evening, Trump and Kennedy shared the stage in Phoenix, Arizona, where Kennedy repeated his endorsement of Trump’s efforts to retake the White House. In return, Trump saluted Kennedy’s “decades of work as an advocate for the health of our families and our children, nobod...
(August 28, 2024) Last week Nicole Shanahan, RFK Jr.’s then-VP running mate, said "The hesitation we have right now in joining forces with Trump is that he has not apologized or publicly come out and said Operation Warp Speed was his fault.” Shortly thereafter, Bobby Kennedy suspended his campaign and endorsed President Trump. Over the weekend, while the Dems were scrambling to recover from the shivving RFK Jr gave to Kamala’s campaign, one of the things they tried to latch onto was Shana...
Ribs are a staple of game day cuisine, and every chef has their own secret recipe. Am I going to share mine with you? No. What part of "secret" do you not understand? What I will do is give you a darned good recipe you can use as-is. Then, once you've done a few slabs of ribs, use this as a starting point for developing your very own secret recipe. This rub works well on pork, beef or lamb, but it's good on chicken, too. It's best for "long and slow" cooking methods like grilling, smoking or bak...
(August 30, 2024) After Thursday’s CNN interview, I almost feel sorry for Kamala Harris’ campaign team. They’ve had a Herculean task set before them—to turn the least popular VP in recent memory into a viable Presidential candidate in less than 100 days. Yes, they’ve had lots of help—a billion or two in free publicity and image glow-up from the mainstream media, tens of millions of dollars of foreign (primarily Chinese) and dark money thrown at them through ActBlue, and a cavalcade of Hollywoo...
My, what a difference a few days makes! It seems like just yesterday Joe Biden's defenders were continuing to insist that he was fine. The campaign was trumpeting the $27 million he'd raised since the debate, and after all, no serving Democrat had called for him to step down, had they? Then on Tuesday, Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) became the first Democrat to formally call for Biden to bow out. "Recognizing that unlike Trump, President Biden's first commitment has always been to our...
Now is the summer of our discontent Made peaceful protest by the SCOTUS rule And all the clouds that lour’d upon the DNC In the deep bosom of The Narrative buried. Now are our brows bound with declining polls; Our clenched fists thrust up ‘gainst monuments; Our stern tweets charged with merry threats, Our dreadful marches to delightful looting. Apologies, Willie. In my defense, Richard III would feel right at home in Washington these days, and this long, hot summer is just beginning. From the...
Hamburgers and hot dogs are the quintessential American summer foods, and everyone needs to be able to do at least one of them well. Truthfully, there's not much you can do with hot dogs besides choosing a good brand and boiling them in a good beer. When grilling outdoors, pick your favorite, make sure your coals are right, and concentrate on quality condiments. For hamburgers, I like 85% lean ground beef because it has enough fat to sizzle well in both the oven and on the grill without too...
Who had “12 minutes” in the betting pool for when old Joe would have his first mental gear-stripping in the debate? You won! The only real question I had before the debate was whether the Dems would send in a Stunt Biden, or if Joe’s medical team could create a Frankensteinian aberration of modern medical science capable of mimicking a coherent, competent, fully functioning human from the doddering dementoid that currently serves as the sock puppet figurehead of these United States. They tried...
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to tell their current government to go away and don't come back, it’s only fair those people tell the world exactly why they’re mad, what that government has done to annoy them, exactly why the government sucks, and precisely why said government needs to go find some other continent to plunder. I’m paraphrasing, of course, but not by much, because that’s what the Declaration really is—a laundry list of complaints and griev...
July 12th is National Pecan Pie Day! The origins of this day are unclear, but who cares? Pecan Pie is awesome, and obviously deserves its own day. There is a bit of controversy over just where pecan pie was invented, with some saying Georgia, others insisting on Louisiana. We all know, however, that pecan pie was invented right here in Alabama-those who say otherwise are fools, liars, mentally unbalanced, or likely all three. In honor of Pecan Pie Day, here's my Momma's recipe. You'll have the b...
President Donald J. Trump survived an assassination attempt by a lone gunman Saturday afternoon, while speaking before a crowd of 15,000 in Pennsylvania. Eight shots were allegedly fired from "an AR-style" weapon by a shooter positioned on a rooftop some 1 30 yards away. The shooter was killed by a Secret Service counter-sniper. At least one rally attendee was killed, with at least one more reported to have been in critical condition after the event. President Trump posted the following on his...
President Trump, and America, dodged a bullet Saturday. While speaking before an estimated crowd of 15,000 in Pennsylvania, President Donald J. Trump was shot and wounded in the right ear. Video shows him grabbing his ear, then ducking behind the podium for cover as the Secret Service rushed to cover him. He then stood up, ordered the Secret Service to “wait, wait, wait,” then turned to the crowd, raised his fist defiantly, signaled he was okay, and said what appeared to be “Fight! Fight! Fight...
