So, some museum in San Diego I never heard of decided to change its name from the Museum of Man to the Museum of Us: https://www.newsweek.com/san-diego-museum-changes-its-name-effort-promot e-inclusivity-decolonization-1522250. Aside from the fact that I do not think that in human history we have ever seen such an ineffective and incompetent "intelligentsia" that all they can do is try to solve things via pronoun usage (they surely do not know what to do about this virus except politicize it), I do not have a big gripe with it. Maybe I would if I had ever heard of and had a vested interest in it, like, say, the (still) white-slave-owning-scum-founding-father (former) native-American-slur NFL football team, but I digress...
What I am concerned about is that the museum officials say that they have done this so as to promote "decolonization". Huh, okay... The only question I have -- and anybody who is sane and cares about the future stability of this country for the sake of our children and grandchildren should have -- is... Where does "decolonization" end???  Stop and think... That is a scary question. In the spirit of my immediately prior post, are we moving forward or being taken back? Are our hopes, dreams and visions for tomorrow, or are we turning the clock back? If the latter, how far back are we going, and what are the stops along the way? We had better start asking these questions because this s*** is dangerous. 
That said, the current topsy-turvy state of affairs is not only an opportunity for the leftists. It is also an opportunity for "us". We do not have to continue down into the abyss of the infinite regress of the illogic and ill-logic of the left. The best way we can nonviolently fight back -- and we are as perfectly set up to do so as we will ever be with public-school teachers and professors, unlike nurses and grocery-store clerks, reluctant or unwilling to work -- is, for God's sake, to get our kids out of the public schools and mainstream colleges and universities, where this venom is being injected into them. |

Well, it is the 20th birthday of my marriage to my lovely wife!  That is to say, it is our anniversary! We wed in the year 2000 on July 15th (which it still is here in Hawaii). I DEFINITELY could not have asked for a better life partner! As for her,... she surely could have done better. I have taken her on way too "exciting" of a roller-coaster ride, and it has taken me, and therefore us, way too long to "arrive". Still plugging away  on that... on several fronts, though,  and she remains faithfully on board.  |

It seems all hands on deck this year for our nation's birthday! President Trump is surely trying to remind us of the BETTER parts of America's history and that they outweigh the badder parts even if there are those who want to make hay with the latter for the sake of politics and the advancement of what has now been exposed as a clearly and thoroughgoingly anti-American agenda. For those who want America's founding to make it to 250 years old, no less 300, it is long past time to wake up to what the schools are filling your kid's heads and hearts with, what you are letting the media industrial complex fill your head and heart with, and what really fills the heads and hearts of those you support with your vote. It is well beyond time for republicans to whole-heartedly and full-throatedly defend Americanism and Americana lest America will be lost. In the meantime, we have Republicans Voting Against Trump, still playing politics as usual  and evidently oblivious to the "bigger picture" and what is at stake (or who were not limited-government, liberty-loving conservatives to begin with). Just like the other side, the democratic socialist Marxist BLMocrats and antifacrats, would say, "We are getting to the point where there are no excuses!!! It is obvious where the other side stands!!!" Of course, they would say it with expletives, vulgarities and threats, but I digress.
Mind you, on this Earth, we are all imperfect, each and every one of us, each and every nation! There is no "utopia", cannot be. That is Sir Thomas Moore's very point. Now, we have a president whose flaws are many and obvious and merits are obfuscated defending a country whose each and every imperfection is hyperbolically exagerrated and tendentiously emphasized over its merits in an effort to tear it down, quite literally. There is a certain serendipity to it all that the pro-American among us ought to embrace and get on board with... like NOW!!! 
Happy American Independence Day!!!  |

Cannot take a joke to which there was even a somewhat slightly self-deprecating aspect, mind you? Ugh... Sorry.
Actually,my comment was made before your joke yesterday. I did infact appreciate the jesting in your text. |

... in a scenario that seems plausible.
I will go first...
I wish the Chiefs would go make an offer to the 49ers and pluck Matt Breida off their roster. Breida on the Chiefs would be...  DELISH! In that offense, he would give defensive coordinators nightmares -- with the speed of his slashing and cutting -- the likes of which would put Freddie Krueger to shame!  |

Rivers just looked awful last year. Not sure what the Colts are thinking, especially at 25 million.
I still think the Colts will trade Brissett to the Pats.

the Gridiron / the Red Zone / Rams Release Gurley |

The sky really is falling this offseason, and there may not even be a season for all this fallout to even matter. Maybe that is why it is all happening... 
At any rate, it is crazy how fast the fall from grace happened for Gurley. Now the question is... Is he/Can he be the same player he was from a couple years ago? I do not know... |
