In America today, we have 12 to 17-year-olds that want to act like adults and 18 to 23-year-olds that want to act like children.

The Cleanup
July 5th, 2021
Another 4th of July party has come and gone in my hometown, and the cleanup begins at my house.
We had a great fireworks show, with some people liking the multi-shot cakes while others preferred the bigger single-shots.
Looking around, I can still hear the laughter of small kids splashing at the water’s edge along the boat ramp while older ones play corn hole. Two brooding fifteen-year-olds hung out at the end of the pier, being too cool to get silly these days. A phase we all go through as teenagers.
The conversations under the shade tree varied throughout the day, with some talking about a cruise being planned for next year while others engaged in an ongoing engine repair job that needs to be completed on an old 1984 pontoon. One of these days, we might get around to doing it. But things happen slowly here in the south.
The night ended with some adults acting sillier than the kids due to a frozen drink machine, but all was well with drivers standing by.
I hope your family had a great weekend as well.
God, I love this country!
Poem – We Forgot
We’ve been here before, humanity out of order. It happens every time we forget.
Honor
June 29, 2021
On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence, announcing the colonies’ separation from Great Britain.
This July 4, 2021, we have a congress that wants us dependent on the whims of a one-world government.
How sad is that?
As we celebrate this weekend, forget not what the Second Continental Congress gave up for our freedom.
Forget not that most of today’s Congress walk out of Washington more prosperous than when they walked in.
Forget not their smugness and elect people with honor once again.
Microfiction – Shock
Head split open, thrown from a car, brain lying eerily between his legs. Survivor, “Is he alive?” Shock, hope, desperation. “Please let him be alive.”
Utopia Road
June 25th, 2021
I’ve been visiting towns across North Carolina and seeing ‘Now Hiring’ signs everywhere. So there is no reason for people to be sitting at home sucking off the government teat.
Some are even offering hiring bonuses and training if you need to learn a skill.
There has never been a better time to be a high school or college graduate.
America, do not follow the carrot to Utopia Road. Only the lost live there.
It’s The Little Things
June 23rd, 2021
I just watched a PBS commercial. In it, the news anchor said, “We will always be as transparent as possible and tell the truth as we see it.”
Hmm, shouldn’t they say we will always be transparent and tell the truth?
Little by little, they are trying to change our world, hoping we will not notice.
Poem – Evil Tongue
An evil tongue that once enslaved has twisted pretending to be a savior.
An evil tongue that speaks of utopia is building a home where there is no freedom.
An evil tongue seeks to protect you, for it is not evil. It is your tongue that must be silenced.

The Most Important Thing
June 21st, 2021
I was watching a documentary about the last hunter-gather groups on earth. In it, they asked a tribe what they felt was the most important thing in their lives.
They said the animals hunted for food. Without them, they would die.
Their answer was as true as the day is long. And it is true for all of us whether we live off the land or buy food from grocery stores.
Food, water, and shelter are the most important things in our lives. You may not think so right now because it comes so easy to most of us, but I assure you it will be, should supplies be cut off.
And it will be the end for anyone who does not know how to grow, forage, fish, or hunt.

Fathers Day
June 20th, 2021
Turn off the propaganda news networks. Turn away from the corrupt churches. And find peace in the day outside or in a church that does not waver from its message.
This Father’s Day, honor your Dad. He works hard for you and is nothing like the buffoons betrayed in TV families of today.
