I'm done with morons in sub zero weather attacking federal agents who are trying to arrest and deport illegal aliens charged with murder, rape, sexual assault, child molestation and a host of other heinous crimes.
Yes, it's too bad when halfwits get themselves shot and killed, but what did they expect?
When you drive your SUV into armed federal officers, you get shot.
When you carry a loaded weapon and interfere with federal officers making an arrest, you get shot.
This is called Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes.
If brainless twits want to die defending rapists and murderers who are in this country illegally, if that's their idea of nobility and heroism, that's ok with me.
Just remember, it was the dems who created this disaster, letting millions of unvetted aliens cross our borders illegally during the Biden years.
They don't get to complain now when others have to clean up their dog's dinner.
Yes, it's messy at times, and no, the process isn't perfect.
Dems should have thought of that before creating this invasion of illegal aliens who have killed, raped, robbed and defrauded American citizens.
None of this would be necessary now if they had simply enforced the law then.
Y'know, like Obama did back in 2015 when he <awarded Tom Homan the "Presidential Rank Award for Distinguished Service"> for deporting a million illegal aliens.
Yes, that's the same Tom Homan who is now called a nazi and regularly receives death threats from the lunatic left.
But the fake news bunch suffer from selective amnesia and that which was laudable then is despicable now, based solely on their incurable case of TDS.**
That's what the overwhelming majority of Americans voted for, and that's going to keep happening until the job is done.

Finally finished Jerry Kramer's book...
...Farewell To Football.
It took a bit to get past the recounting of 1968, his last depressing season in the NFL.
After being on top for so long, it was a tough way to go out, and it’s tough slogging through his retelling of it.
But then he switches to his life's story, from childhood through college and his career with the Green Bay Packers.
The mood lightens considerably and it becomes an easy and worthwhile read.
That is to say, it's not a sports book, but rather a "life's lessons" book.
For younger readers it will probably be shocking in parts - children were actually disciplined in his day, and he disciplined his children.
(That's not to be confused with sitting Muffy and Biff’s dainty little behinds in a "time out" chair and hiring therapists to help them self-actualize.)
From his experiences - some of them harrowing - you come to understand how it was possible for a hick from Idaho to ascend to the pinnacle of his chosen profession.
It may not change your life, but then again it might.
He's honest about his struggles and open about his motives, inspirations and methods that helped him become a success.
(Hint: it involves a 4 letter word - "work".)
The last chapter is a bit of a muddle, but you can tell he's struggling with the all important question:
What next?
He's headed full throttle into business, or he might retire to Sandpoint, Idaho and enjoy an idyllic life of fishing, hunting, golfing, skiing, relaxing.
Then again he might give politics a whirl, but if Vince Lombardi - who left Green Bay for the Washington Redskins - asked him, he might just un-retire and play another year.
In the end, however, he seems to make up his mind because he states definitively:
"I'm retired. I'm through. I'm going to wear suits and ties, not shoulder pads and cleats...
"Goodbye Football!"
Worth the read; and now on to "Distant Replay" to find out what he - and his championship teammates - actually did after football.
I've mentioned this before - that instead of floundering around in hickory golf as I did starting in 2017 -

| my original 1920's hickory playset |
- and then delved into pre-1900 golf.
 |
| my current pre-1900 playset |
There still would have been a year or so of experimentation, trial and error and figuring out how it all works.
No matter what you're doing you've got to take the theory out of the classroom - or in my case, off the pages of a book - into the real world and get your hands dirty.
I've gotta believe - under the tutelage of Mr. V -
But that's filed under the "water under the bridge" section; I'm where I'm at now, and we roll on.
Can't wait for <Spring>.
Gentlemen, hold onto your hats...
...it's time to 23 Skidoo:
 |
| Happy (I'll never tell) Birthday to my beautiful wife! |
 |
| know what those are? |
 |
| deer tracks... |
 |
| lots of 'em |
In light of all the chaos being ginned up by the party of slavery, segregation, killing babies in utero and insurrection, I thought it would be instructive to revisit a quote from WWII General-turned-President, Dwight D. Eisenhower:
"Without God, there could be no American form of Government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first -- the most basic -- expression of Americanism. Thus the Founding Fathers saw it, and thus, with God's help, it will continue to be."
