    Whether I agree or not, I really have no problem with a business mandating masks. It's their business and their right. I lean more to having an issue with those that want to enter against the mandate in the name of defiance. Don't want to wear a mask? Shop elsewhere. 

    They aren't mandating masks because they want to they are mandating masks because they are forced to.  Government overreach and it has to be met with resistance.

    You know we will be branded as conspiracy theorists, but heck, I always wanted to be part of a group, and the left has its groupings for us all. Anyone who doesn’t believe anything we just wrote is a fool and deserves to be conquered. I sure liked the “America First” agenda. I bow to no one.

    Conspiracy theorist are people who see the writing on the wall and start pointing out what is obviously happening and the label is given to discredit the reality that is.  Hitler wrote "Lie to them long enough and they will believe the lie."

    So I have a theory that I have developed over the years.  The United States was founded by individuals that lived during a time that required them to be realistic about their life and caused them to question things that didn't make sense like "why am I listening to (following rules of) someone that is thousands of miles away to determine the way I should live."  Well in order to destroy that philosophy you must first destroy the things that that culture developed in the course of their history. For example music, the sports they created, their language, and their faith are very important to their identification of their culture.  So to destroy this culture you have to get rid of it. 

    So here is my theory . . . years ago they introduced soccer to the United States and they said this is the most popular sport in the world and of course in the beginning everyone in the U.S. said "who cares we have our sports and we love them" and no-one thought soccer would ever amount to anything in the U.S. at that time and 40 years later it is still here AND growing.  I always thought that if you played soccer it was because you couldn't play anything else (I know that isn't true now but back then I did).  (anybody remember the phrase Baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and ___________?) Yeah my point.  No one is promoting anything U.S. very much anymore. I have watch professional football break down into what Terry Bradshaw said "we should be putting skirts on the quarterbacks."  If you played football and didn't understand how violent it can be then you are a fool and get out (now we have targeting rules) I mean no kidding someone may be looking to hit you, duh. Professional football has been watered down but that didn't ruin it, what has ruined it and other U.S. specific sports has be the politicization of all U.S. sports.  We use to come together in spite of our differences to play a game everyone loved and no one cared what your politics were and now I can't stand to watch the scripted equivalent of WWE in football, basketball and maybe even baseball. 

    Music is simple, does anyone think that "country music" today is the same country music of 40 years ago?  Well it's not in fact the instruments that made country music country music are missing. Our cultural music is disappearing and yet the slide began 40 years ago (and arguably longer) and it was slow but now if you listen it is nothing more than pop music.  

    Our faith, yeah anyone want to argue that a once Christian majority and tolerant of others is now under attack from those same people we were tolerant of?  Christians were tolerant of others because we were U.S. citizens and we had religious freedom so yeah believe as you wish.

    And language, I will just ask this question: what pronoun do you go by?

    Things are getting blurry and the tyrants in charge are ok if they (United States citizens) disappear.  All for the globalization of the "New world order."

    Well, regarding fast food, I don’t care what they’re putting in a double meat double cheese Whataburger all the way, I’m not turning it down. Yes, I know they sold the company. Luckily it still tastes the same. Breakfast on a bun (BOB) ranchero style is pretty good too after a long night. 

    I think their patty melt is amazing and when I feel I need a change I order grilled jalapenos to go on it.

    So here is my 2 cents on this getting old thing . . . I am going to do my best to teach my grandchildren that there is a better way and to never be a victim. As a father I am 50/50 on that, my daughter is a victim and my son is not and he is the one with children at least right now. I wish I could have been 100% but I am also not responsible for the choices of another adult but still I didn't stop loving my daughter.  I will fight to keep my children free in a world where that meaning is blurred but here is the rub.  Using Fauci  as an example he said "people need to give up their freedom for the good of society." This is why I will fight for my grandchildren because FREEDOM isn't safe but it is a heck of a good time.    I hope this makes some kind of sense.

    Of course it is the media so you have to take it with a grain of salt but I saw a story that came out yesterday. It said Chapman and “his team” which included dogs, searched some islands that a tip said where Laundrie was supposed to be. Chapman’s  conclusion was, there’s no evidence that Laundrie had even been there. I think I saw where he made a comment that he was getting hundreds or maybe even thousands of tips. 

    That means a lot of people and money was wasted on a “tip” that concluded that it had no factual basis. 

    Maybe I will call in a tip that he is hiding in Kokomo in the Keys. Maybe his team can search for a few days before they find out that Kokomo is a fictional location.

    I will say this, it is easier for the average guy on the street to get a tip and not the police. It does not make you an investigator, some people just don’t want to talk with the police out of fear.  Many times when we are investigating something, a witness does not really come forward. Other people however come forward and say hey, that girl with the red blouse standing by herself on the corner witnessed the whole thing. The police then go talk with that girl and sometime it is productive and sometime it is not but the point is, the person that actually knew what happened did not come forward. Word gets out on the street however and those people give tips to the police.

    A person like Chatman might get a tip direct because people might talk to him or anyone else because they are in fear of talking to the police and being made a witness. That is actually why crime stoppers was created. So there is a chance that Chatman could actually get a tip that would lead to something. By the same reason, a person could walk up to any of us and whisper something like, hey,  the guy the police are looking for is buying a six pack of beer at the store across the street. If one of us was to go in and catch the guy, that does not make us a good tracker. It means somebody gave us a good tip.

    Chatman is hoping that someone gives him a tip and does not give law-enforcement the same tip.

    Actually there is a Kokomo, Indiana.  😊

    Well, he took a Vidor girls team to the playoff's even if it DID have his mvp daughter on it.....he is a good coach....Parents need to stay out of coaching decisions...PERIOD!!!

    Wouldn't that be nice but that isn't the world we live in anymore.  Coaches are getting harder and harder to get these days because they no longer have the autonomy they once had because of these "snow plow parents" who are way worse than the "helicopter parents."  I don't know if this is a fact but I feel that this is true that coaches and teachers are retiring 2 times faster than the colleges are graduating future teachers.  And these "new" teachers/coaches usually don't make a career out of teaching/coaching or even 5 years as a teacher/coach after they see the reality of teaching/coaching these days.

    How in the world do people get that from the new bill?

    Either I’m not reading it right or these people are pulling stuff out of thin air to fit their agenda 

    So through my experience I have found that some people are willing to go through "mental gymnastics" in order to make sure the people that they support are right even though someone that is rational would call these "mental gymnastics" a lie.  Just sayin
