From the Stone Ages until about 20 years ago we were politically incorrect as a society. But, like a spy balloon or three, political correctness floated across the nation as century 20 turned to century 21. And, we were better for it, weren’t we? Some disagreed. They started calling those that they felt were over …
Last evening Lefty and Shorty just came on at midnight for the graveyard shift at the Gulf Station. Rain was falling from the heavens at an accelerating pace, cold air was rolling in and cars were not. Shorty- Why do we stay open all night? Lefty- So that you and I can discuss President Biden’s …
The story doesn’t end when the air went pssst from the Chinese Spy Balloon(CSB) late Saturday afternoon. The story behind the story is really the story. And, it has just begun.

Is it safe to say that three of the top 6-8 quarterbacks in the NFL are in the conference championship games this weekend? We’re talking about Hurts, Burrow, and Mahomes of course. Purdy has been a pretty good surprise, but the resume is quite light at this point. That the AFC has two great QBs …

Happy MLK Day. There are 15 nuggets on your plate this AM. We wonder what Martin Luther King would say about the latest statue unveiled yesterday in Boston in his honor. “I had a dream that all statutes aren’t created equally!” Well, it’s art. Little did we know that during the 2020 election cycle, Joe …
If you’re like most you probably needed this past weekend to decompress from the stress of reliving the pain and suffering brought about by the anniversary of Insurrection Day last Friday. Hopefully, on Monday you weren’t cheering for TCU. If you were, by Tuesday morning you must have felt like anyone who fought Iron Mike …
Git yersef sum. President Biden visited the border in El Paso yesterday and not a single homeless camp nor any illegals were trying to cross. It’s amazing what he can accomplish when he puts his mind to it. He actually said he needs the Republicans to help solve the situation as well. Oh, yes he …
Today is day two. Yesterday was day one- the First Session of the 118th United States Congress commenced with Members of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives in attendance.
