Do You Swear to Tell the Truth?

-
A whole bunch of senators took an oath yesterday to tell the truth...

...and now the lies begin!

A lawyer on a crime show always says:

“And let me remind you, you’re under oath! Did you kill her?”

Can you imagine the guy on the stand saying,

“Well, I was gong to lie about killing her, but now that you mention the oath thing. Yeah, dang, I’m a killer, but I’m not a liar! I did it!!”

It’s so dumb!

Swearing to tell the truth on the Bible?

How much of an impact does that have when you’re a lying piece of crap???

And I hate liars more than anything else in life.

When you cross your heart, you aren’t supposed to lie!

When you tell a lie to someone you’re actually telling them:

“I have zero respect for you. Prove that I’m lying.”

And it’s exhausting.

Trump tells one lie after another.

Yesterday he claimed that he didn’t know Parnas.

“There might be a picture of him with me because I take thousands of pictures with people, but I don’t know him.”

Later on it became known that Parnas worked with Trump’s old man in the 80’s and guess who also worked there:

Trump.

“I mighta’ worked with him but I never met him.”

And the thing is, once someone lies to you, how do you believe anything they say?

Trump gave his reasons for the Iran attack.

Who could believe it???

There’s a guy we know who is prone to exaggeration.

One of our buddies mentioned:

“We gotta’ listen to him because sometimes he tells the truth.”

I think it’s easy enough to dismiss it all.

Being under oath doesn’t really solve the problem...

...as your senators are going to clearly show next week.

Lying liars who lie.

Suits

Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

My Buddy, Dave

-
Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
