I AGREE WITH PETE

-
Image
FRANCES CLALEN  Pete Hegseth is hoping to be confirmed as the next Secretary of Defense. Some of his goals are to get rid of D.E.I., all wokeness programs in the military, and one thing that I am very much in agreement on removing women from combat units. Pete wants to make our military the best and most lethal military in the world. In the modern age of radical feminism I suspect that the majority of women will agree with Pete on this one. I am sure that the few radical feminists who don't agree with him will disagree violently. As a 21 year veteran of the military I think that my opinion has some merit on this subject. Although I have never served in combat I have trained extensively for it and I have studied military history since I was a child. I am convinced that American women are as brave and patriotic as any man. Physically, however; most women are not built for combat. Men are stronger and faster on average. They have greater lung capacity and body mass. We are finding thi...

JOHNSON AND JOHNSON

Image
 I was 13 when John Kennedy was killed in Dallas Texas on November 22, 1963. We are nearing the 61st anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. Not long after Kennedy's death I saw a pamphlet listing many of the coincidences between the death of Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy's death. These coincidences can now be found on the internet. For example Lincoln was succeeded by Andrew Johnson who was born in 1808. Kennedy was succeeded by Lyndon Johnson who born in 1908. Both presidents were shot on a Friday and both were shot in the head. Lincoln was shot at point blank range by a pistol, however; and Kennedy at long range by a rifle. Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846 and Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Lincoln only served one two year term in Congress but Kennedy served two terms in Congress and ten years in the Senate. Lincoln was elected president in 1860 and Kennedy was elected in 1960. Both presidents were shot by Southerners. Oswald was from Texas and Booth wa...

WELCOME HOME

 President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11, 1919 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. World War One ended the year before on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. This was the end of the “the war to end all wars.” On May 13, 1938 Congress made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as “Armistice Day.” Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor Veterans of World War I. In 1954 because America had just fought World War II and the Korean War Congress changed Armistice Day to Veterans Day. This made sense since there were 16 million men and women who served in World War II alone. On October 8th 1954 President Eisenhower made the first Veterans Day proclamation. In 1968 Congress decided to give everyone a long three day weekend by celebrating Veterans Day on Monday every year. The first Veterans Day celebrated under this law was in...

SUPERMAN

It appears that America has been given a reprieve. God is not through with America yet. President Trump won 312 electoral votes, the popular vote, and the Republicans are on track to win both houses of Congress. As the president wanted we got election results "too big to rig". The RNC ran a fantastic ground game that deterred cheating and got out the vote. Replacing Mitt Romney's daughter Ronna McDaniel as head of the RNC with Michael Whatley and making Laura Trump co-chair was absolute brilliance on Trump's part. People like Charlie Kirk rallied the youth vote in the battleground states. Scott Presler and Elon Musk worked wonders in Pennsylvania even motivating the Amish to vote. This election is historical. In my 74 years on this earth I have not seen anything like it. Donald Trump has pulled off the greatest political comeback in American history. In addition he is now the second president to win two non consecutive terms in office. Grover Cleveland was the first t...

A NIGHTMARE SCENARIO

-
Image
 America is like a condemned person on death row right now who has just a few hours left to live. We are waiting on a reprieve from the governor that could save our life. It won't be a full pardon but it would delay our inevitable death for a time. This reprieve could give our lawyers enough time to put together a solid defense that could lead to our total exoneration. Many people would tell me that I am painting an unrealistic picture of the future of our country or I am engaging in hyperbole. This is how I see the election this Tuesday November 5th. If President Trump wins it will just be a reprieve. The same holds true if we win both the White House and Congress. If Trump and his dream team are actually able to bring about true government reform by reducing the size of government and removing the leadership of the administrative state installed by Obama and Biden we might be moving toward a full pardon. Even then it will be a long shot. As we have seen already Trump's accomp...

GROWING UP WITH RADIO IN NASHVILLE

-
Image
  When I was growing up in Nashville we only had AM radio stations. The most popular stations were WSM, WLAC, WENO, WSIX, WKDA and WMAK. WSM was the home of the Grand Ole Opry. It was a 50,000 watt powerhouse and at night and it could be heard all over North America and nearby countries. WSM was also nicknamed the "The Air Castle of the South" This was a huge factor in spreading the popularity of country music. Especially with the military during WW2. I didn't become a fan of country music until about the age of 17. After getting off work I would listen to a late night talk show hosted by Ralph Emory. He would interview country music stars and play the latest country hits. I would lay on the front seat of my car and listen to the show late into the night. WENO was in Madison, a suburb of Nashville. It was our only other Country music station besides WSM and WSIX.. WLAC was also a 50,000 watt powerhouse which could be heard over vast areas at night. There were three white ...
