I just got my Tennessee University of Georgia license plate. Twenty five years ago I organized an alumni chapter of Georgia graduates here in Knoxville and could not get enough signatures for a plate. I tried twice. This irritated me to no end since Georgia Tech had a plate as did most of the SEC schools. Even Purdue, my brother’s alma mater had a plate. Purdue!  I then asked the alumni office in Athens to try. They tried twice and were unsuccessful. Finally last November they tried one more time and lo and behold they succeeded! I put it on my convertible. I have been trying to get the Buckeye Club to try to get one for Ohio State. That one would go on my F250.

The liberal media is referring to Trump as the “disgraced former president” because the democrats impeached him twice and indicted him four times.  In fact the New York Times proclaimed that “Donald Trump is forever disgraced”. Really? Disgraced? Certainly not in the minds of his supporters or even among us who are not his supporters. So the question is that if only the democrats consider him as “disgraced” is he actually disgraced? The right wing press calls Joe Biden a disgrace. So should he be referred to as “the disgraced current president”? I guess he should if you apply the same standards that the left employs for Donald Trump. Hilary Clinton anyone? 

Bill Clinton was impeached. Why isn’t he also labelled “disgraced”?

Are you a single adult in a relationship with another single adult? I am and have been for the last 28 years. How do you refer the other person?  “Girlfriend” doesn’t work because she is an adult. “Womanfriend” sounds strange. “Partner” sounds like a law firm and many think that it only applies to same sex couples. “Comrade” sounds like we are communists. “Mate” sounds like we are in the Navy. “Companion” works because we are not blood relatives and are a romantic pair who associate with each other on an almost continuous basis. So “companion” it is although a friend suggests I use “main squeeze.”

Isn’t it interesting that the left still runs cover for the Bidens insisting that no evidence of wrong doing has been presented – only innuendo. Hunter’s laptop is not evidence? Certainly there is more evidence in the case of the Bidens than in the Russia hoax. Why wasn’t Hilary Clinton not indicted for trying to sabotage the Trump campaign with false accusations ? Trump was. But of course we now have a two tiered “justice” system.

Its ironic to Civil Rights veterans like me that black DAs (Alvin Bragg in New York and Fani Willis in Atlanta) are applying uneven “justice” to whites much like how the “justice” system has historically had white DAs treating blacks unfairly.

I had lunch with my “progressive” friend who was livid about Florida’s proposed AP course. Like the rest of the libs he had seized up the statement that some slaves acquired skills that proved beneficial when they were freed. He asserted that this implied somehow that the acquisition of skills outweighed the human cost of slavery. Of course it did not. But the left’s narrative fabricated that lie. My friend insisted that Dr William Allen who was part of the group that wrote the curriculum actually said as much. He did not and there is no evidence to support that lie. But of course, if you tell a lie often enough it soon becomes the truth.

I still say that neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump will be their party’s nominee.

There is little doubt that all the Bidens will be indicted. I think he should be impeached for his open border policy which clearly imperils the nation. Biden’s secret documents are as bad as or worse than Trump’s. His financial dealings with Hunter are impeachable and criminal. Its only a matter of time. I think the only out is for Biden to pardon his whole family and then pardon Trump.
