We Know What Happened

-

There’s a revelation about January 6th coming as Kevin McCarthy has released the camera footage from that horrible day…

…to Tucker Carlson!

It would be hard to believe if it wasn’t so pathetic.

Fox News has been in the news because of the Dominion lawsuit and the revelations that their top ‘announcers’ were lying about if they believed that the election was rigged.

The entire group of them lied to their viewers and got them all worked up with the lie.

And now they have the footage so they can pick and choose what happened that day and show it in the most dishonest of lights.

We know what happened!

We know why it happened!!

And yet, every day we hear breaking news about it as if we were all asleep when it all went down.

The thing about that day was that I called it a couple of weeks beforehand.

And now?

One of the congresswomen - I won’t even say her name cause she’s so dopey - is saying that there should be a civil war between red and blue states.

How can anyone even mention such a thing?

A friend of mine called me, all upset, because one of his lifelong buddies told him that he couldn’t talk to him anymore because he was a liberal.

My friend said, “I’ve been friends with this guy for 40 years! I did work at his house, lent him money, went to his kid’s baptism, and now he won’t talk to me. I never even once spoke to him about politics!”

That’s certainly what’s happening.

Despite the fact that we know what happened…

…it is being packaged with one goal in mind.

To pit American against American.

Civil war?

Lying to your audience?

It has to stop.

“Your friend will be back,” I said. “Just give him some room,” I told my buddy.

“I don’t think so,” my friend said. “We might be too far gone.”

I hope not.

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,”
