Drinking out of the garden hose and filling job vacancies

Restaurants, doctors'

offices, grocery stores, and nearly every business you can think of are still short-staffed even though for the most part the pandemic is behind us. 

People not only got used to government assistance but got used to the freedom of working at home.  Saving time on commutes and hanging out at the computer in undergarments ain’t so bad!

The question remains why should a maid, waitress, busboy, or any employee go back

to work when the government pays them more to stay at home and in many instances even gives rent assistance and added EBT/food stamps? Many of these programs are ongoing and still happening until their alleged official cutoff date of MAY 11, 2023 which is also the official end of COVID-19 according to the Whitehouse.

Millions of illegal immigrants are making their way into America, instead of giving them

welfare and government assistance that many of our own citizens aren't even eligible for, why not let them fill the void of all the short-staffed businesses? Biden could make this his legacy?

Just as a ship is safe in harbor, that’s not what it was built for.  A ship must sail the open seas just as humans must get out and prosper. 

 Cooties or should I say COVID have left us! That's right Cooties. I often thought to myself how COVID was like Cooties but never expressed this publicly

until now because of the crazy cancel culture we live in. Just as little boys were afraid to touch little girls because of the invisible Cooties, that's how the world scrutinized people with COVID. I know many people who were never vaccinated and never got the virus and many people who got all the shots and all the boosters and still got sick as hell.

When my generation

was young there was no such thing as bottled water, we all drank out of the garden hose. That was our COVID and Flu shot back then. That's one of the many ways we built up immunities naturally. 

 It's time to start drinking out of the garden hose once again and filling job vacancies with illegal immigrants hoping to one day fulfill their dream of becoming U.S. citizens.

Imagine if fans acted like NFL players

The NFL though

at times has its rough edges, however, football is my favorite sport to watch.  I have been a loyal Buffalo Bills supporter for over 60 years, also known as Bill’s Mafia.

My team has never won a Super Bowl, but we have come close many times.

We lost four in a row back in the 1990s, what are the odds of that?  For the last couple of years, the zebras (referees) and Patrick Mahomes have kept us out. It seems like a never-ending battle. 

The players these days follow the money and unlike the fans seem to have no team loyalty. 

Why then should fans remain loyal during losing seasons?  Why shouldn’t we all jump ship to a winning team and feel good come Monday morning or any day after a game? 

When rookie contracts are up and if they’re any good they will demand

big money from the team that drafted, gambled, and worked hard on them to become great. If that team does not come through with big bucks they can enter into free agency and go to the highest bidder or a team they believe is a contender for the Big Dance, the Super Bowl. 

There is no loyalty between players and coaches.  They move around like gypsies

on psychedelics for the biggest paycheck.

Next time my team has a losing season, I’m thinking of changing sides to a winning team so I can feel good for once about a team.  

What the heck with being loyal to a jinxed or losing team?  If the players and coaches aren’t devoted why should we? 

Players say, "it's a business,"

so for me it's entertainment and I want to go to the best movie! I want to have my team win the Super Bowl before I croak, and for now, this may be the only way.

 Nonetheless, I remain a devoted loyal idiot. Go Bills! 

This is a real Vietnamese
Restaurant in Miami! ;-)

Here's to nothing, Hasta la vista baby

  It's hard to find a subject matter to write about

It is hard to write these days and try to find a subject to write about in that society won't

cancel you or editors will publish. Society is holding editors and publishers responsible for the once-free thinkers that graced editorial pages around our great nation.

Many professional comedians

that once considered the American college campus the epitome of free speech and the places they most longed to perform now are frightened by that same venue. Colleges and young people are now the first to want to say my way or the highway and ruin careers and cancel the once free thinkers.

Try having a political view

that's in contrast to the masses. I did. I have had many friends unfriend me on social media and even relatives believe I need an intervention and group therapy. 

I used to really enjoy writing about politics until the comments exploded on my blog, many times in anti-semitic rages

because of my religion, although the blog had nothing to do with religion. The nice thing about the blog is I'm the editor and I can choose to edit and delete those comments, which I always did.  Comment boards on public forums were another story.

The internet warriors comment with anonymous monikers by making comments to you online

that they would never make to our faces, similar to monkeys throwing feces at each other. Writing was once a fun hobby and enjoyable. This is why I need something different to write about besides politics.

I have decided one last thing to write about, no politics, no religion, so what is it?

Nothing!   Similar to the Seinfeld

TV show that was about nothing, this is what my future writing will be about, nothing! Can I get into trouble writing about nothing, probably not. But not near as much trouble as writing about  Donald Trump, Joe Biden, or Kamala.

Here's to nothing! Hasta la vista baby.

Hamlin and Purdy contrast to the days of Tebow and prayer

   Buffalo Bills Safety Damar Hamlin is breathing on his own and out of the hospital after

dying and being revived on national TV during Monday Night Football on January 2, 2023.  The game wound up being canceled after only a few minutes of play into the first quarter because the players on both sides were traumatized and both coaches decided it best to reschedule the game although rescheduling never took place.

ESPN, ABC, the NFL,

and the Sportswriters owe former QB Tim Tebow an apology.  Don’t shun and mock Tebow for kneeling to pray, and then find yourself praying along with football players, journalists, and sportscasters who previously ignored prayers. It's somewhat ironic that  God and prayer, once taboo in the sports world, are currently cliche.  Prayer is now allowed in the sports arena but still shunned in our public schools and highly practiced in our prisons.

I appreciate Tim Tebow

for always being a man of faith. I am thankful Hamlin is alive and maybe this scary situation led others to find prayer with the national media covering the story and bringing prayer to the forefront of limelight breaking news headlines!

   Broc Purdy, Mr. Irrevelavant, the last prayer to be drafted in the  2022 NFL draft

was leading the San Fran Francisco 49ers to a possible Super Bowl appearance with his cinderella performances this season until he got injured in the NFC title game in Philadelphia. He professes faith in God and Christ publicly. Franklin Graham is a huge fan of this rookie quarterback. 

What was once publicly

shamed is now cool, it's now the in thing to pray and have faith! As Larry David from "Curb your enthusiasm" might say, That's "Purdy, Purdy, Purdy Good!"

The constant coverage

of  Hamlin's recovery journey on every major network, not only sports networks, was remarkable as a country prayed for a man in a critical and fatal condition. How does a healthy 24-year-old NFL football Player collapse after making a tackle then rise to his feet, fall down and stop breathing?

The fast thinking of the EMTs and Buffalo Bills trainers just seconds after Damar's breathing stopped

was instrumental in saving his life, while others credit the outpouring of prayers.

Probably a combination of both.  “The more I study science, the more I believe in God” It is believed this is a quote by -Albert Einstein-

Damar's Gofundme page for toys

for children went from $2500 to over 8 million during his hospital stay. The news coverage was 24-7 about Damar for most of his 9-day hospitalization until the day he finally went home, and even now it hasn't stopped, only slowed down. 

Damar allegedly showed up at the Buffalo Bills Cincinnati Bengals Playoff game at Highmark stadium in Orchard Park N.Y three weeks after the regular season

game where he collapsed and stopped breathing all bundled up like a mummy and every time the camera panned to him he was in shadow and soft focus and you could not see his face, although when the camera panned to his baby brother and mother they were in good HD sharp focus.

There are those who believe  Damar may have taken steroids or drugs or died on the football field. We have come a long way since the Tim Tebow era just a few years back concerning prayer and the media. Hamlin and Purdy sure contrast to the days of Tebow and prayer. 

Recently Damar released a six-minute video thanking all the first responders, doctors,

  the NFL, and everyone for all their healing thoughts and prayers. Even with the video, the conspiracy theorists are saying it was a stunt double acting as Damar. Up until this video there were no other interviews of any sort with Damar.

There are many afraid to speak contrary words for fear of losing their journalist jobs and being

canceled in this woke and cancel society.  Many are afraid to have an opinion since they see what cancel culture and the "cancel police" can do to one's life.

With all being said, I agree with the masses and join everyone in prayer for the continued healing of Damar,  that's if he's still alive, and  echo Bob Dylan's famous song lyrics from the '60s, "These times they are a changin."

Hallelujah!
