Sick Of Politics Yet?


I definitely am.

Would love to skip straight to the election, vote, and be done with all the nonsense that surrounds such an important decision.

This country has been knocked off its foundations by corruption and incompetence and cannot withstand another 4 years of democrat rule.


They’re now pretending to be shocked, shocked!  to discover Slo-Joe has dementia.

Who knew?

It must have been one of those "sudden onset" things, where prior to the debate he was "as fit as ever", then suddenly, wham!  He's senile!

from the 2020 presidential race

Right.

If you're one of those folks who really did not know, you should quarantine yourself on a deserted island.

You're obviously too stupid to handle the rigors of daily life, and the rest of us shouldn't have to put up with you.

If you're one of the great teeming mass of Democrats who knew, said nothing, and are therefore complicit in the coverup, please see the above course of action, but replace the word "stupid" with "morally bankrupt" as the reason.

Now Biden's good friends are so concerned with this totally unexpected development...


...they've convinced him to "drop out" of the race.


Democrats may be devoid of principles, but at least they're predictable.

Lord, please help us endure...


...until November.


Before:


...and after:


The stone, glass and half moon shape make Dean Bryant Vollendorf's Baysweep design unique.

The white trim and redwood stain give it a coherent color scheme and make it "pop".

So take that.


In what I'm sure will be hailed as a victory for kindness and decency, I've decided to spare you the usual Hickory Golf Report and proceed directly to


to wit:

our dinner plate hibiscus are early this year...


...but gorgeous as always


It's fun to stay at the Y M C A!


a mortal sin


heads should roll, but don't hold your breath


that's one dedicated Lions fan


too bad there's still 3 months to go

Evil Tried...


...but failed...praise God in heaven.

Details are still emerging, but what's clear is a Biden supporter - now deceased - attempted to assassinate President Trump at a Pennsylvania rally this evening.

And according to an eyewitness, this disaster could have been prevented.

He and his friends saw the shooter "bear crawling" on the top of a building with a rifle...


...and tried to <alert the authorities> a couple of minutes before it occurred.

Why did the Secret Service let this happen?


"Extreme incompetence or it was deliberate. Either way, the SS leadership must resign."
 
            - Elon Musk on X

In Musk's inimitable style, his use of "SS" clearly evokes Germany's dreaded <Schutzstaffel>, and why not?

The left's constant drumbeat that "Trump is Hitler!"...


...is not just grossly irresponsible, it's an open call to violence.

It's true the shooter pulled the trigger, but the democrats and their complicit media allies loaded the rifle.

Thankfully, President Trump - though grazed by an assassin's bullet - is fine, and for that every decent person gives thanks.

Sadly, the left has no decency, and they're already flooding social media with <hateful messages>.

Despicable, but totally in character.



There's no segue from evil to normal, so I won't try.

What do you see in this picture?


How about now?


Animals possess an ability we humans often do not:

That of stillness.

For them, it's a survival mechanism; the ability to remain perfectly still could be the difference between living another day or becoming dinner.

For us, it's a spiritual checkup; being still in the presence of our Creator reconnects us with what actually matters in life.

We live in a chaotic time of constant distraction and directed thought.

Most of us won't go anywhere without a cell phone and few of us can resist checking it constantly.

For what?  The latest fakebook post?

When was the last time you enjoyed a few calm, independent, self-directed meditative moments, free from TV, radio, internet?


                        - Psalms 46:10,11



We live in dark and dangerous times, but take heart: God is still in control.

Dakota Tribal Wisdom Suggests...


...when you discover you're riding a dead horse...the best strategy is to dismount.

In a pathetic display of cruelty and incompetence, the dems trotted out their dead horse for all the world to see.

The few times he wasn't mumbling incoherently and losing his train of thought, he was lying through his dentures.


The most egregious lie of all?

“I’m the only president this century that doesn’t have any, this decade, that not any troops dying anywhere in the world, like he did.” 

Ok, that's typical Slo-Joe dementia speak, but he's claiming no soldiers died in combat during the time he's been illegally squatting in the White House.

No troop deaths...really?

That will come as a shock to the families of the 13 troops killed on August 26, 2021 in a bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Biden even attended the transfer of these troops' remains, an event he apparently doesn't remember.


The world does, however - who can forget the image of him checking his watch, wondering how much longer he had to endure this inconvenience?

It was almost time for his graham crackers and milk; plus, those Looney Tunes cartoons weren't going to watch themselves.

In the aftermath of his debate debacle, we're seeing a flood of oddly coordinated calls for Dementia Joe to drop out of the race.

And I say "oddly" because we've been assured for years by every main stream talking head that Biden is "just fine".

“Start your tape right now, because I’m about to tell you the truth. And f-you if you can’t handle the truth," the Joe/Mika clown show blustered recently.


"This version of Biden intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever!"

Are they and all their leftist conspirators delusional, dishonest or demented?

Yes.

The videos of Biden freezing up in public events, spouting unintelligible gibberish, being led off the stage by Barry O at a dem fundraiser, falling multiple times while climbing stairs...?

"Cheap Fakes" according to the White House communications team.

Riiiight...

As Grouch Marx famously asked, "Who are you going to believe?  Me, or you own eyes?"

So how is it that all these gaslighting media dopes who've sworn for years Biden is perfection personified suddenly turned on a dime in unison, and are now calling for his replacement?

Rest assured these new talking points are not the result of delusional hordes being force fed reality and finally awaking to the truth.

No, this is a planned execution by the <long knives> squad; they've played out their frat boys "Weekend At Bernie's" fantasy for years but it's finally over.

Time to dump the corpse and find another stiff, while feigning heartbreak over the "sudden and surprising" demise of their hallowed leader (barf bags available upon request).

Underscoring their desperation, one of the stiffs they've suggested as a possible replacement is Michigan Governor Wretched Dimwitmer.


Let me tell ya, that's some first class barrel bottom scraping right there.

While she has about the same IQ and broken moral compass as Dementia Joe - and every decent human being in the state would rejoice at her departure - she's even less likable than Slo-Joe because yes...


...we do remember Covid.

So who will be their last gasp attempt at political relevance?

Newsom?  Harris?  <Tartarus>?

Ssssssssstay tuned...



A quick delousing...

yes, you're the chicken

...and we can move on to the next subject.

Hm...lessee...thumbing through my rolodex...


...Archeology?  Nope.

Candlemaking?  Not today.

Farmasooticals?

Oops, a little spelling error there...should be Farmaceuticals, but no.

Ah, here we go:  Hickory Golf.


Gaining some ground lately for a couple of reasons:

1) I've switched to a match play format  - and -

2) I've adopted Walter Hagen's viewpoint that the only shot that matters is the next one.

We've all heard the old saw...


...but I never put much stock in it.

It was a bit too ethereal, too whimsical for me, as if you could somehow "think" your way to success.

What about talent, study, hard work and practice, practice, practice?

Turns out the former does not replace the latter, it completes it.

Talent helps, of course.

Study, hard work and practice are essential.

But attitude - that's the fuel that makes the engine run.

Hickory golf is not just a change of equipment, swapping out a 5 iron for a mashie or a driver for a playclub.

It's embracing an era, the origins of the game...


...its attitudes, customs, how it was played.

Understanding - and more importantly, doing - that is helping me play a little better and certainly enjoy it a whole lot more.
