Happy Father's Day!

  This is what being a real father is about!  Just in time for Father’s Day!  We need to see more positive things about people on the tube than our sons and daughters being locked up.  In an interview with NBC’s “Today Show,” Rasan Portlock, 29, shared his adoration, excitement, and pride as he discussed being a father to his son, Ryheim.

Congratulations, Teria!

Graduation Day, 2013!

Giant kudos to my niece, who recently graduated from high school with honors.  She's on her way to the University and success!  God bless her!  The Colonel did a great job raising those children to young men and women!  May bright lights and God's blessings be with them forever!

Lee Greenwood- God Bless the USA!!!

Meditating on Memorial Day! God Bless America!

I did not get a chance to post on Memorial Day!  No, I was not busy.  It was a day to meditate on how many people in the military, law enforcement, and civil servants sacrificed their lives for a causes many of us might not support.  Whatever those differences might be, these heroes are not here to share their moments with their families.  Consider yourselves blessed that you still can.  If you can but will not share these times with your family or friends, it is your choice.

Proud To Be the Party of No (Dissension)

This is an opinion written by DeWayne Wickham of USATODAY.

Sen. Mitch McConnell, (R-Kentucky),  revealed the legislative game plan of congressional Republicans when he told the National Journal on the eve of the 2010 midterm election: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." When asked about blocking the Democrats' legislative agenda during a New York Times interview that same year, McConnell replied: "I wish I had been able to obstruct more."

Mr. Wickham went on to write, “Somewhere in McConnell's office there must to a shrine to Eddie Vrdolyak, the onetime Chicago Democratic boss who used the art of political obstruction to keep Harold Washington, that city's first black mayor, from governing the Windy City.  Like Vydolyak, McConnell has used the legislative voting bloc he controls to block the passage of bills and the confirmation of appointees. His goal is not just to assert the authority of the legislature, but also to render useless the powers of the chief executive."

Seems pretty much the facts to me.  People with attitudes like this would rather divide and destroy this country than see progress for the good of all.  It seems that our elected officials have their own agenda instead of helping the people that voted for them.  I guess gerrymanding the districts can make you overconfident.
