So, Nancy landed in Taiwan and, so far, nothing from China other than a big show of force.  Okay, I can live with that.  I’m not sure how we would react if one of China’s higher ups visited one of our Territories, but I don’t think we would threaten them with nuclear annihilation.  But, who am I to say.

Also, the PACT Act was passed last night with an overwhelming majority.  Depending on who you listen to, there are many different reasons why it passed this time and didn’t pass last week.  Regardless, it did pass this time and it’s a good thing.  Now, many, many vets will be helped that need the help.

I didn’t go out and play darts last night, Tuesday night, I should say.  I had a REALLY bad day.  Not sure why.  But, very tough day and I’m hoping and praying that  today is a better day.  I’m actually going into work today to teach a minor class for an hour or so today, with me going back to work full time in about ten day, I figured it would be okay to do that.

So, I’m sure you guys are tired of listening to me rambling, so…

I knew that Publix was expensive, but that’s just a little over the top…

That’s a heck of a rollback savings that’s more expensive than the original price.  Sounds like our government had a hand in that one.

8 Billion Mosquitos Can’t Be Wrong.

Awwww…….!  That’s so sweet!  But……

I didn’t wear earrings for a long time and the holes closed.

Now I’m worried about my vagina.

The absolute definition of “Shit Happens”

So, I was in the shoe store the other day trying on a pair when I said to the salesman, “It’s too tight.”  He told me to try it with the tongue out and I said, “Ith thtill thoo thight.”

If  I’m not mistaken, it’s also taken in front of the same house.

There isn’t anything that I wouldn’t do for a Klondike Bar!

I just saw where Revlon is going to declare bankruptcy.  Things are going to get ugly.

If Queen Elizabeth accidentally farts during dinner, the other guests are supposed to pretend like nothing happened.

Noble gases should have no reaction.

Okay, it’s just a cool picture.  I can’t come up with anything.

I hate it when TV shows say they contain “Adult Situations” but then don’t show anyone going to work, paying their bills, cleaning up after their kids, doing household chores, or any other Adult things.

This next one REALLY cracked me up!!

So very, very true!

SERVICES PROVIDED:  If you ever get ghosted by a person you just slept with, give me their number, I’ll call to tell  them we’ve just found your body, that they are the last known person to see you alive and demand they come to the station to answer a few questions.

I have an amazing superpower — I can melt ice cubes by staring at them.

It takes me quite a long time, but it does work.

If we are ever in a “Don’t Laugh” situation… don’t look over at me!

Me:  Please bring me a screwdriver.

Wife:  Flathead, Phillips, or Vodka?

And that’s when I knew she was the one.

Legal gun owners have 300 million guns and probably a trillion rounds of ammo.  If we were the problem, you’d know it.

You’re kidding yourself if you think it won’t happen!

Due to personal reasons I will be saying “aye” and “arggg” instead of yes and no from now on.  Please respect my piracy during this difficult time.

Can’t believe we don’t have world peace after changing the name on pancake boxes and syrup bottles.

And that’s it for today my friends.  I hope you all have a GREAT day and that you have enjoyed this as much as I have.

Today, as I’m writing this, it’s Saturday.  Although you guys are reading this on Monday.  I’d like to start out with a really good comment from Jim, about the Last Word that we talked about on Saturday.  You remember that?  The Pact Act?  Yeah, you remember.

Now this makes much more sense why the Republican Senators would stop the bill.  And why the dems would throw something stupid in there to try to get it passed.  I’m so tired of hearing all  this green bullshit thrown around when it makes no sense. 

Let’s stop drilling in the United States to save our country, but then buy oil from overseas and ship it by boat, that burns so much more oil to get it here.  What friggin’ sense does THAT make for the green earth? 

Let’s get all these electric cars.  When our electric grid can’t handle the burden we have NOW and we’re going to increase it?  Where are all these cars going to get charged?  Where are all these lithium batteries going to get made?  Where is all the lithium?  Oh yeah…Afghanistan!

Friggin’ Morons!

Thank you Jim, for pointing this out.  No one on the news is pointing this out.  I’m glad to see that we are bringing you Breaking News here at Dragon Laffs.  And it’s all thanks to Jim.

Parts of Kentucky and Las Vegas and I-70 near St. Louis and several other places across the country are under water as we speak.  Izzy Dragon says it’s the Wrath of God (because the casinos were flooding in Vegas).  It’s always something. 

The news is not worth watching…although…with Pelosi’s planned trip to Taiwan and China threatening to respond violently if she does, that might become interesting.  I mean, let’s say, hypothetically, if The Wicked Witch of the West’s plane was to … oh, I don’t know. … be shot down, let’s say, hypothetically — there’s a couple of reactions we have to have:

**We’re pissed off because of all those innocent people on board (because you know she would have a plane full of people with her)
**We’re pissed off because “HOW FUCKING DARE China!
**We’re American, we can fly anywhere we want (if we’re invited).  
**Now we HAVE to respond appropriately,  not just go home with our tail between our legs, like Brandon will want to do.
**And I’m not going to put down, in writing, the obvious last point because, hey, this is a public forum and I’m not stupid.

Izzy says, but who would we get next?  It doesn’t matter.  NO ONE would be as bad as her for Speaker of the house.  I can’t imagine a worse geriatric, drunken, bully.

Anyway, that’s enough about that.  I’ve gotten my political ranting out of my system for now.  So, let’s get on to the good stuff.

No doubt!  I have GOT to do this to Izzy Dragon!  She is the Mac and Cheese Queen!

Sometimes, not saying anything is the best answer.  You see, silence can never be misquoted.

Apparently exercise helps you with decision making.  It’s true.  I went for a run this morning and decided I’m never going again.

I’m about 5 lbs. away from Google Maps mistaking me for a roundabout. 

If I was to have a tattoo, it would look a lot like this.

I envy people that grow old gracefully.  They age like a fine wine.

I’m aging like milk.  Getting sour and chunky.

If a Vampire bites a Zombie, does the Zombie become a Vampire, or does the Vampire become a Zombie?

There is no better feeling than someone playing with your hair or running their fingers down your back…

Unless you thought you were alone.

Impish Dragon’s Angels … yes, I  know we’ve done it before, but it’s so much fun with a new picture, I just had to do it again.

Yes, it truly is.

A mosquito just landed on my husband’s face…

Easiest decision of my life.

There’s a fine line between a numerator and a denominator.

Only a fraction of people will find this funny.

A man and a woman were traveling in a train. 

Woman:  Every time you smile, I feel like inviting you to my place. 

Man:  Awwww…….!  Are you single? 

Woman:  No.  I’m a Dentist.

My wife asked me if she could have a little peace and quiet while she cooked dinner…

So I took the battery out of the smoke alarm.

Well, that correction changes things just a little bit.

That’s one hell of an optical illusion.  

Yeah, I know you’ve probably seen it in a dozen different formats before, but it’s still funny.

“Wanna play ‘Go Fish’?”

What do you call two guys above a window? 

Kurt and Rod

Does he really not understand how friggin’ stupid he looks?

A nice, western wedding…until you see the guy with the blow up dinosaur…

House key?  Liquor cabinet?  Gun cabinet?  Chasidy belt?  I’m really stumped here.  The key to the lock of the box that the key is locked up in?

Or if you’re hungry go buy food.

What an absolutely stunning picture!

I don’t know why the Invisible Man was so misunderstood…

I thought he made himself clear.

And apparently polls, as well.

Go ahead and ask the democrats…they’ll say, “Inflation?  What inflation?”

Stopped by a roadside stand that said Lobster Tails $2.  So, I paid my $2 and the man behind the counter turns to me and says, “Once upon a time there was this lobster…”

Think about it for a minute, it will come to you.

Apparently, they grow cloves of garlic significantly different sizes in different places.

Scientifically Proven Fact: 

(From our dear friend Joe in New Jersey)

Bath Towels Are The Leading Cause Of Dry Skin!

THAT’S rough!

Nope, no inflation here…

And that, my friends and dear family, is that for this episode of your favorite ezine on the interwebz!  Tune-in again on Thursday when you should be able to find us again to laugh with.  Until then, be happy, be loved, and be well.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night!

Okay, so more than likely, if you’re reading this when it comes out, SATURDAY Morning … early.  But still, the sentiment is there.  It’s Saturday!  The weekend!  Time to party! 

Or time to sleep in and relax. 

Or time to get the lawn mowed and the chores done. 

Or time to get the shopping done and the kids to practice or whatever.

Do you know that some kids have gone back to school already!!!

It is still July, right?  Man, I remember when we were kids, we didn’t go back to school until like the first week of September!  It ain’t right, I tell ya!  It ain’t right!  And I know, some of you will tell me that nowadays they get a longer fall-break, winter-break, and spring-break.  I don’t know.  It seems to me that we got a pretty long break for each of those too.  But, maybe I’m looking back with rose-colored glasses and it wasn’t as nice “back-in-the-day” as I seem to remember it being…but I think it was.

Is it my imagination, or is car maintenance costing more now than it used to?  I turned my car in to the shop early this morning for a tune-up and a brake-job.  They are going to have the car all day, maybe even into tomorrow and quoted me a price that was pretty high.  Like almost $1,400.  That seems high to me.  But, when I called around, in our area, that was pretty comparable.  So, here I am, vehicleless for the day.  Not that I need to go anywhere, but it’s a bit of a strange feeling.  I’m not normally without transportation.  I know that if I needed something there’s only like ten people or so I could call and get someone out here within anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour depending on who I called, but still… not being able to rely on myself is kind of … I don’t know … weird.

Anyway, enough about me, let’s talk about you for a while.  So, how you doin’?

He thinks he invented that?  Us Jersey Dragons been doin’ that shit for years! 

Okay, Okay, so let’s laugh already!

Because we have to protect ourselves from cartoon characters.

Husband advise:  You should ask her if she’s gained weight, that way she knows you’re paying attention to her.

The problem is, there is some bank somewhere that will probably cash that nowadays.  It used to be that if the words weren’t spelled right they’d kick it back.

I read somewhere that being sarcastic on a regular basis can up to three years to your  life.  If that’s the case, I know that me and bunch of other people I know are gonna live forever!!

Heck, I think that’s about everywhere right now.  Did you guys here that it was like 103 in England?  With their humidity, that’s gonna be a steam bath!

Yurp!  And yur sign proofs it!

Oh my God, this is SO TRUE…

You think you can hurt my feelings?  I used to hold the flashlight for my dad!

Go ahead, think about it…now, don’t you feel a little bit of PTSD?

Now THAT, is dedication to a task!

And that’s another one loaded with truthfulness.

Little kids were asked to draw their favorite pictures of Impish Dragon in school awhile back.  This one is one of my favorites.

I don’t think it will help, but anything is worth a try.  This morning when I dropped the car off to be worked on, one of their employees drove me back home.  While we were driving, he said, “Oh look.  Gas is below $4 a gallon.” It was right at $3.999, so not MUCH below $4, but I gave it to him.  But I replied, “Yeah, but just think, two years ago we were say, ‘Oh look, gas is below $2 a gallon.”  He sighed and thought for a minute and said, “yeah.  Probably won’t see that ever again.” I said, “It all depends on who we put in the Whitehouse in two years and whether they open up and drill in OUR country…you know…where all the cheap oil is.”  He agreed with me.

I’m really, really tired of people complaining about the price of everything… 

“$2.00 for a cup of coffee”
“$3.00 for coat check”
“$4.00 an hour for parking” 

I’m just going to stop inviting those people over to my house.

I’ve had that same problem with many a car I’ve owned.

Every time a bird craps on my car, I eat a plate of wings on my front porch to show them what I am capable of.

I’m not sure if that’s funny or disgusting.

She was just ordering dinner and the Uber driver had SUCH an attitude…

This is just wrong in SO MANY WAYS!!!!

People with a dog:  He’s half British Spaniel, 1/4 French Basset Hound, 1/8 Tibetan Magic Flower, and his ancestors won World War II. 

People with a cat:  This is Nacho and he’s an asshole.

Sometimes the best way to solve a problem, is to stop participating in the problem.

When a man says he’d do anything for a woman, he means he’d stop bullets and slay dragons, not clean the basement and wash dishes.

Yeah, right!  Slay a dragon!

The glasses were a nice touch.

No one is more full of shit than a parent that just said, “Maybe”.

Yes!  Yes, it does!

And is more beautiful because of it.

For years I believed it stood for Liquor, Guns, Bacon, Tacos and Queso. Well, now I am woke…

It’s all fun and games till your jeans don’t fit anymore…

I LOVE old science fiction.  They have stories that begin, “It’s the distant year 2003 and humans are exploring the deep corners of the universe.”  God bless you old sci-fi.  You had such high hopes for us.

If misery loves company, I should have a lot more friends.

I think that is an absolutely excellent idea!

Yup, that will work just fine.

Oh, one thing before we get to the Last Word, remember our rock project…not our, but Izzy Dragon and mine?  Well, we finished step 2 and started step 3.  Here’s what they looked like after step 2:

And here’s a closeup of MY contribution to the project:

It’s actually really smooth and shiny.  Stay tuned to this time next week for the results for week 3.

Okay, I know that there are an awful lot of Vets out there, and some of you may even be suffering some of the maladies that are being discussed  in the PACT Act.  I know I have friends, and even my brother the Owl has some problems because of the damn burn pits.  This is important and I can’t believe it wasn’t passed. 

First of all, this is the email that I received from the American Legion, of which I have been a member for many, many years.

Dear American Legion members and friends,
 
Despite initial bipartisan agreement, the Honoring Our PACT Act is now in jeopardy. This transformative bill providing health care to veterans exposed to burn pits and toxic hazards initially passed both the House and Senate with bipartisan support in June, and again in the House of Representatives just two weeks ago in a 342-88 vote.

You heard that right: this same bill has already passed the House twice and the Senate once, and required a final confirmation in the Senate to be sent to the President’s desk and on July 27th the vote fell short 55-42.

As Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Jon Tester said,  “This is a sad day in the U.S. Senate. The American people are sick and tired of the games that go on in this body.”

You have a right to be outraged at what has transpired – and to let your senators know about it. We urge you to contact your senators and demand that that they stay in Washington until they pass this much-needed legislation.”

Take Action Now

I contacted my two state senators and let them know how I feel.  It’s not bad enough that we’re giving our money away to illegal aliens and other countries, and that we have veterans who are homeless and suffering who have proudly served our country, but now we won’t even give them the health care THEY WERE PROMISED when they promised to give up EVERYTHING UP TO AND INCLUDING THEIR VERY LIVES.  Seems like kind of a one-sided trade to me, and these damn politicians are even willing to hold up their pussy-assed side of it.  These politicians that get full benefits for life for serving a lousy 4 year term, where our military members, who put their lives on the line for NOWHERE NEAR THE SAME PAY get half pay, if and ONLY if they put in 20 years or more. 

So tell me again, how much you care about the military.

But, no one said it better than John Stewart…and I have that YouTube for you right here. 

I urge you all to contact your state senators and tell them that this is completely and totally unacceptable.  They need to get off their collective asses and get this bill passed.  Every single day that goes by another hero goes without the treatment they need, comes closer to taking their own life and it’s more than just them that suffers. 

Until next time my friends.

We’ve made it all the way round to Thursday again.  Been a VERY busy week.  Monday was Grief Group, Tuesday was my follow up appointment with the surgeon, Physical Therapy, and darts, Wednesday was going to church for either a different Grief Group or Bible study.  As of the writing of this, I haven’t decided yet.

So, talking to the doctor, he is EXTREMELY happy with my progress and we decided I don’t have to wait until September 8 to go back to work.  We talked about it and decided  that 15 August was the correct date.  So, that’s what I’m going with.

Tuesday was much better at darts than last time.  I didn’t win any more matches, but I played better and faster and am getting back into the swing of things.  So, all of that helps. 

So, I know that you don’t want to listen to me ramble on about me and do want to laugh, so…

Officer:  Do you know why I pulled you over? 

Me:  The warrant probably 

Officer:  You have a broken…What?! 

Me:  What?!

I talk an awful lot of smack for someone who tips over when putting on their underwear.

Some friends are much more comfortable to sleep on then others.

My young coworkers asked me to show them pictures of me in high school.  I said I’d go home and dig some out.  They said, “Can’t you just look on your phone?”

And I laughed and laughed and laughed and then I cried.

This damn phone book gets bigger every year!

No matter how hard I try, I never seem to run out of bad ideas.

If I’m a sarcastic asshole when I talk to you, it’s either because I really like you and feel comfortable teasing you…

Or I really hate you and don’t care if you know it…

Good luck figuring out which one.

I got so drunk last night, I walked across the dance floor to get another drink and won the dance contest.

Izzy Dragon saw this picture and said she didn’t like it because it was a bad mix of DC and Marvel.

A husband buys a dozen pairs of panties of the same color for his wife.  His wife protests, “Why the same color?  People will think I don’t change my panties!”

And back then, this stuff worked for ANYTHING!!!

I’m not drinking ANYTHING that has “penis” in its name!

And that’s it for today my friends.

It’s Saturday, you guys are reading the last Dragon Laffs, number 2053, and it’s thunder and lightning here all day long.  Makes for quite the spooky atmosphere.  But the dogs…oh my dear granny dragon…the poor dogs.  They HATE the the thunder.  We have these hemp infused doggy treats especially for when it thunders out, they each get five of them, so long story short, I now have two very stoned little dragons in the cavern who couldn’t give a damn if a tank drove through.

And that’s been my whole morning so far, so I decided, I’m going to start the next dragon laffs so that I can laugh.  

My brother, the Owl has sent me some absolutely hilarious YouTube videos that I’m going to share with you guys.  Some of you will like them some of you may not.  We’ll see when we get there.  And in the spirit of getting there…

So, I gather that Monkeypox is beginning to be a thing now.  No matter how much we believe that it’s not a thing.  According to what Izzy dragon read to me today, there are 16,000 cases with 5 deaths, in 75 different countries.  The WHO says it could be a problem.  I don’t know.  With a 0.03% fatality rate, that’s like 100 times less than COVID was at it’s worst.  And the vaccine for it, which the WHO, in the first and only recommendation that they have ever made that I agree with, does not recommend that anyone take, is the exact same vaccine as the small pox vaccine.  So, if you’ve been vaccinated for small pox, which I would assume that most of us are, you’ve already had the monkeypox vaccine.  So, as far as THIS dragon is concerned, it’s just another instance of them trying to distract us with their left hand to do something else with their right.

Me:  [Looking at a barn full of feed] Who’s all that for? 

Farmer:  The cattle eat it. 

Me:  Wow, that’s one hungry cat.

Okay, first of the YouTube links. If you are or were into D&D you will find this hilarious.  If you want more, go to YouTube and search for a crap guide to dungeons and dragons, there’s like 20 more!  This one is by far the longest, but they are all funny.

“It’s a lonely life…here on the edge, watching…guarding…protecting the realm.  Just me and … oh good, the pizza is here!”

Medusa looked at me in the eyes…

Joke’s on her.  I was already stoned.

And here’s the second YouTube.  This one is also Dungeon and Dragons related, but it’s a movie trailer for a movie coming out next March, starring Chris Pine.  From Capt. Kirk to a … well, I won’t spoil it for you.  But THIS Dragon is definitely going to the theater to see this one!!

Pool Party at My House Tomorrow. 

Bring the pool please.

Yeah, the Whelpling was a lot like that … or worse.

“We are marshaling the troops, Lord, to go and slay the evil dragon.”
“And which evil dragon are we facing today, Master at Arms?”
“The Evil Impish Dragon, M’Lord!”
“Fuck that!  Let’s go home!”

I decided to kill off a few characters in the book I’m writing.  I feel it will really spice up my autobiography.

Okay, and the final YouTube from the Owl is Game of Thrones orientated.  I have to warn you though, don’t watch this if you haven’t seen Game of Thrones and are still planning on watching because there are spoilers in it, but if you have watched it, you HAVE TO WATCH THIS IT IS HILARIOUS!!!  So… here you go..

Okay, I just noticed that this says Vol 1.  So, if we’re going to do this, let’s do this!

And finally, this one!!!!

Okay, so some of you are thinking THAT WAS AWESOME!  While others are saying, Well, there’s 30 minutes of my life I’ll never get back, and yet a few more are saying, videos?  What videos?  Anyway, I hope that you enjoyed are short little movie madness today, so now back to the memes!

You know me, if I ever win the Lottery, rest assured nobody around me will be poor, and I mean that.

I will move to a rich neighborhood.

My great-grandma started giggling at a barbecue and when I asked her what’s so funny, she said, “everyone here is alive because I got laid.”

I was going to post a joke about time travel.

But you guys didn’t like it.

People who say “Go Big or Go Home” seriously underestimate my willingness to go home.  Like, it’s literally my only goal.

Sasquatch, buddy!  Have I got some news for you!

And why, oh, why hasn’t EVERYBODY realized it yet?

Because both of those requests fit THEIR agenda!!

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

A PESSIMIST sees a dark tunnel. 

An OPTIMIST sees light at the end of the tunnel. 

A REALIST sees a freight train.

The TRAIN DRIVER sees 3 idiots standing on the tracks.

How Social Media Works

Me:  I prefer mangoes to oranges…

Random Person:  So basically, what you’re saying is that you hate oranges? You also failed to mention pineapples, bananas and grapefruits. Educate yourself.

Not just Social Media, but the Main Stream Media, too.

Yeah, yeah, but that’s what a LOT of crappy arthritis in your feet feels like ALL THE FRIGGIN’ TIME!!!

I had a GREAT time horseback riding today!

But then I ran out of quarters.

In today’s Last Word, we’ve got a very special essay sent into us by … well, you’ll see ..

If you never again read anything I post…read this!

(Friggin’) Pete

America has always been a beacon of hope and inspiration for the last two and a half centuries and a light that always shone. Now it is in danger of extinction from within.

IS THE SUN SETTING?

ONLY GOD KNOWS….

Author unknown

“Men, like nations, think they’re eternal. What man in his 20s or 30s doesn’t believe, at least subconsciously, that he’ll live forever In the springtime of youth, an endless summer beckons. As you pass 70, it’s harder to hide from reality.

Nations also have seasons: Imagine a Roman of the 2nd century contemplating an empire that stretched from Britain to the Near East, thinking: This will endure forever.. Forever was about 500 years, give or take.

France was pivotal in the 17th and 18th centuries; now the land of Charles Martel is on its way to becoming part of the Muslim ummah.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the sun never set on the British empire; now Albion exists in a perpetual twilight. Its 95-year-old sovereign is a fitting symbol for a nation in terminal decline.

In the 1980s, Japan seemed poised to buy the world. Business schools taught Japanese management techniques. Today, its birth rate is so low and its population aging so rapidly that an industry has sprung up to remove the remains of elderly Japanese who die alone.

I was born in 1942, almost at the midpoint of the 20th century – the American century. America’s prestige and influence were never greater. Thanks to the ‘Greatest Generation,’ we won a World War fought throughout most of Europe, Asia and the Pacific. We reduced Germany to rubble and put the rising sun to bed. It set the stage for almost half a century of unprecedented prosperity.

We stopped the spread of communism in Europe and Asia, and fought international terrorism. We rebuilt our enemies and lavished foreign aid on much of the world. We built skyscrapers and rockets to the moon. We conquered Polio and now COVID. We explored the mysteries of the Universe and the wonders of DNA.. the blueprint of life.

But where is the glory that once was Rome? America has moved from a relatively free economy to socialism – which has worked so well NOWHERE in the world.

We’ve gone from a republican government guided by a constitution to a regime of revolving elites. We have less freedom with each passing year, becoming more and more dependent upon a gov’t which can never provide for us. Like a signpost to the coming reign of terror, the cancel culture is everywhere. We’ve traded the American Revolution for the Cultural Revolution.

The pathetic creature in the White House is an empty vessel filled by his handlers. At the G-7 Summit, ‘Dr. Jill’ had to lead him like a child. In 1961, when we were young and vigorous, our leader was too. Now a feeble nation is technically led by the oldest man to ever serve in the presidency.

We can’t defend our borders, our history (including monuments to past greatness) or our streets. Our cities have become anarchist playgrounds. We are a nation of dependents, mendicants, and misplaced charity. Homeless veterans camp in the streets while illegal aliens are put up in hotels.

The president of the United States can’t even quote the beginning of the Declaration of Independence (‘You know – The Thing’) correctly. Ivy League graduates routinely fail history tests that 5th graders could pass a generation ago. Crime rates soar and we blame the 2nd. Amendment and slash police budgets.

Our culture is certifiably insane. Men who think they’re women. People who fight racism by seeking to convince members of one race that they’re inherently evil, and others that they are perpetual victims. A psychiatrist lecturing at Yale said she fantasizes about ‘unloading a revolver into the head of any white person.’

We slaughter the unborn in the name of freedom, while our birth rate dips lower year by year. Our national debt is so high that we can no longer even pretend that we will repay it one day. It’s a $28-trillion monument to our improvidence and refusal to confront reality. Our ‘entertainment’ is sadistic, nihilistic and as enduring as a candy bar wrapper thrown in the trash. Our music is noise that spans the spectrum from annoying to repulsive.

Patriotism is called insurrection, treason celebrated, and perversion sanctified. A man in blue gets less respect than a man in a dress. We’re asking soldiers to fight for a nation our leaders no longer believe in.

How meekly most of us submitted to Fauci-ism (the regime of face masks, lockdowns and hand sanitizers) shows the impending death of the American spirit.

How do nations slip from greatness to obscurity?

Fighting endless wars they can’t or won’t win • Accumulating massive debt far beyond their ability to repay • Refusing to guard their borders, allowing the nation to be inundated by an alien horde. Surrendering control of their cities to mob rule Allowing indoctrination of the young. Moving from a republican form of government to an oligarchy. Losing national identity. Indulging indolence. Abandoning faith and family – the bulwarks of social order.

In America, every one of these symptoms is pronounced, indicating an advanced stage of the disease.

Even if the cause seems hopeless, do we not have an obligation to those who sacrificed so much to give us what we had? I’m surrounded by ghosts urging me on: the Union soldiers who held Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, the battered bastards of Bastogne, those who served in the cold hell of Korea, the guys who went to the jungles of Southeast Asia and came home to be reviled or neglected.

This is the nation that took in my immigrant grandparents, whose uniform my father and most of my uncles wore in the Second World War. I don’t want to imagine a world without America, even though it becomes increasingly likely.

During Britain’s darkest hour, when its professional army was trapped at Dunkirk and a German invasion seemed imminent, Churchill reminded his countrymen, ‘Nations that go down fighting rise again, and those that surrender tamely are finished.’

The same might be said of causes. If we let America slip through our fingers, if we lose without a fight, what will posterity say of us?

While the prognosis is far from good, only God knows if America’s day in the sun is over.”

You will have to admit, that  every single thing that the author wrote is absolutely true. 

And that is it for today my friends.  If I want to get this out in time, I have to finish it now.  May your days be filled with love and happiness. Until we meet again.
