Survival Tip: If you get lost in the woods, start talking about politics and someone will show up to argue with you.
We don’t let athletes bet on games – they have the ability to influence. Why do we allow Congress to invest in companies they regulate?
Why is it that when archeologists find human remains, they always determine that they are either male or female and none of the other hundreds of genders?
Why is it that so many are more outraged that Brittney Griner was stuck in Russia (after breaking their drug laws) than they were about Americans being stranded in Afghanistan?
How is it that the government can’t control gasoline prices…but the weather is something they can fix?
We’re churning out a generation of poorly educated people with no skill, no ambition, no guidance, and no realistic expectations of what it means to go to work.—Mike Rowe
If kids knew what they wanted to be at age eight, the world would be filled with cowboys and princesses. I wanted to be a pirate. Thank goodness nobody took me seriously and scheduled me for eye removal and peg leg surgery—Bill Maher.
Why were we told to lower our AC usage on hot days to prevent overwhelming the electric grid while simultaneously being told to trade in our gas cars for electric vehicles?
Why is canceling student debt a good idea? Does it make sense to reward people who do not honor their financial commitment by taxing the people who do?
Does it make sense to cut off oil from an ally and buy it from an enemy who calls for your death?
Are we living in a time where intelligent people are silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended?
Is this a great description of America: Andy has left town and Barney is in charge?
Why is talking sexually in the workplace considered sexual harassment to adults…but talking about sexuality to children K-3 at school considered education?
Who else had a “ministry of truth”…Hitler…Goebbels…Stalin.
Eliminating the production of 500,000 American barrels of oil a day to buy 500,000 barrels a day from Russia is simply…well…stupid.
I saw a movie where only the police and military had guns; it was called Schindler’s List.
If your electric car runs out of power on the interstate, do you walk to a charging station to get a bucket of electricity?

I just got a full tank of gas for $22. Granted, it was for my lawn mower, but I’m trying to stay positive.
There is a coin shortage. America is officially out of common sense.
If an 18 year old isn’t mature enough to own a firearm, then maybe five year olds aren’t mature enough to change their gender.
Sign in Texas: DON’T VOTE FOR WHAT YOU FLED.
Nobody called it “Toxic Masculinity” when we were saving the world.
Mice die in mouse traps because they do not understand why the cheese is free. Just like socialism.
The most powerful governments on earth can’t stop a virus from spreading…but they say they can change the earth’s temperature if you pay more taxes.
For a long time I have annoyed anyone who would read or listen to what I have to say about the enormous disadvantages of uncontrolled anger. When most people get angry they often break things and hurt people, and they soon regret it. They do stupid, destructive things because their anger over-rules their good sense. After calming down they realize they have exacerbated the situation and it has become a bigger problem than it was previously.
When you drink too much alcohol you also often do stupid things, and since alcohol often liberates your inhibitions it sometimes reveals hidden character flaws.
Just a few days ago, a Republican North Dakota state senator named Nico Rios was stopped while driving by the police because he seemed to be unable to stay in his lane on the highway. The subsequent roadside sobriety test indicated he was legally impaired. He refused to take the breathalyzer test, so he was arrested for driving while impaired.
Rios chose to react with anger. Throughout the traffic stop he insulted the police officer who was only doing his job of keeping drunk drivers off the public roads, and acted like the obnoxious drunk that he was, trying to push his political weight around.
Later when he sobered up and realized what had happened he was deeply apologetic, and tried to claim that his behavior did not accurately reflect the person he is.
Nonsense! I contend that your behavior when you’re drinking reveals your true character. Your public persona sometimes is just a charade. I hope your political career and that of other similar politicians is over.
You drink too much alcohol you do stupid things, then you get angry and you do even more stupid things. Not a good plan.

Out of the mouths of babes …
A nursery school teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child’s work.
As she got to little Sarah who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. Sarah replied, “I’m drawing God.” The teacher paused and said, “But no one knows what God looks like.”
