The M.O.B.

On October 4 Facebook and Instagram (with associated apps) had a global outage that sent people over the edge with concern, worry, and general hair-pulling. With a Facebook and Instagram outage, followers took to Twitter to slam the giants and poke fun at the general craziness of the memes created.

The time has come to call out the lack of well-researched and documented science on the COVID-19 vaccine. Before you crawl in your bed and pull the covers over your head, damn it, do your own research…a lot of it. I highly recommend the two books photographed above, Plague of Corruption by Dr. Judy Mikovits and Kent Heckenlively, JD and the Faucian Bargain by Steve Deace and Todd Erzen.

Well, I finally found an exercise I enjoy enough to do three to five days a week – Pickleball. It is funky, it is different, it is weird. Think ping-pong racket, badminton rules, and a perforated plastic ball like a wiffle ball but slightly heavier. That is pickleball, created in 1965 by Joel Pritchard, congressman from Washington State to engage his family in a fun activity they could all enjoy.

Last week we posted the Colorado Springs Sesquicentennial cartoon depicting all the wonderful people, places, things, and events we are celebrating during our 150th birthday. But do you know who all of them?

I was fortunate to hear a presentation by Michael Poliakoff, American Council of Trustees and Alumni, last Wednesday, July 14, 2021, at the Cheyenne Mountain Conference Resort in Colorado Springs.

Too often these days my mind is consumed by random thoughts. Right now, it is full of them on three different subjects: China, COVID, and getting ahold of my elected officials.

I noticed a bunch of stories about fathers and the relationship they have with their children before Father’s Day, but I have not seen many after, so I wanted to share my Father’s Day experience. I had a mixed bag on Father’s Day. It was a good day overall but with a somber moment.

I have a problem with the folks doing the planning for the roads in Colorado Springs. I was reminded again after seeing the “proposed planning” for Platte Avenue. I believe these folks do not really want citizens input, but in fact want “road dieting” at all costs. And to force feed us alternative transportation, like bikes.

Why did the Pulitzer Board change a century old tradition and not award a Pulitzer in the category "Editorial Cartoonist"?

We are bombarded with media telling us how to think, act, and feel on every subject. It was called propaganda, we call it propaganDUMB.
