Hide the Pets!

-

The nation is up in arms over the story about immigrants from Haiti invading an Ohio city and plunking geese and dogs and cats from the streets and eating them.

It’s a story that’s being spread by the same party that brought you:

1). Kids are identifying as cats so they put litter boxes in classrooms.

2). Hilary Clinton is running a sex pedophile ring out of the basement of a New York pizza parlor.

3). Windmills cause cancer.

4). They’re performing sex change operations on kids who head off to school - your son is getting on the bus - 3 days later, your daughter is returning home.

5). Doctors and mothers are deciding - after a baby is born - if they are going to let the kid live.

Now, all the above stories have been debunked, but that simply hasn’t mattered to a pretty healthy chunk of the population.

When the old, orange dude screamed:

“They’re eating your dogs, they’re eating your cats, they’re eating your pets,” it gave credence to a truly insane meme.

Think of that…

…running for the top job in the land and you’re citing a joke that went around the internet as gospel truth.

The backlash was quick and should have put an end to the whole affair when the city officials said:

“There’s no evidence of that ever happening.”

But, we know politics well enough by now, don’t we.

When the vice-presidential candidate who started the whole insane thing was presented with the facts he said:

“Well, something might be true. We need to look into it.”

No.

We don’t.

It’s straight fear-mongering straight out of Hitler’s playbook.

“We’re being invaded by immigrants,” is the fear they are striking into the hearts of white America.

Didn’t we deal with this with the big beautiful wall?

If you ask that candidate about his wall he will claim that it was finished before he left office.

(It wasn’t).

If it was…

…it didn’t work.

During the last couple of years, by the way, a bipartisan group worked up a solution that could’ve helped solve the problem…

…guess who put the brakes on it…

….yeah…

…same group that is now suddenly worried about those brown people eating your cats.

Insane time to be alive.

Two months to go!

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,”

Eyes on the Horizon

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
