The Big Lie

-

 Caught an interview with a Texas Republican who was running for office.

He didn’t win. 

In fact, he got about 3% of the vote and was booed on the campaign trail because he had the nerve to say that the 2020 presidential election was fair & square.

Liz Cheney, it seems, will lose her leadership role within the party because she also stated that the big lie about the election is actually…

…a big lie!

And of course, the 2020 election is way down on my list of things I’d like to talk about but I truly wonder about the end game.

What happened to that party?

They stand on absolutely nothing other than what the former guy says?

He made crap up…

…and they swore to it.

It’s so odd.

I read a tweet yesterday that said, “There are people out there who took hydroxchloroquine on the word of the former guy but won’t take the vaccine because they think it’s fake.”

Meanwhile, all those who are in lockstep with the greeter at the Florida country club have all been vaccinated!

Odd.

I don’t know what the end game is.

Another run at the presidency?

He lost the popular vote twice.

But not to re-litigate any of it…

I’m simply wondering what the message of the Conservative party is these days.

Family values?

Their king is thrice-married and his family life is a tad uneven.

God?

Was that presidency a Christian presidency? Way off the Bible that I read.

Fiscal responsibility?

The debt soared! Is only important now as they fight the new agenda.

The wall?

That didn’t happen.

America first?

The members of the party root for Putin over Biden.

I just don’t know what the message will be.

“We don’t have a message. We’re waiting for our leader to make up something.”

I think that is the only message.

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,”
