For reviving the spirit of the flag:

Here’s to the beautiful Red, White and Blue!

Why can we get more info that’s entirely true?

I Read a little piece this morning that suggests young girls in HS begin wearing T-Shirts: “I am proud to be a Prude”. The youthful internet society can be incredibly pressuring. The intense desire to be wanted often breaks down inbred standards. Many kids only feel the moment. But feel for years the angst from bad choices living in cyber towns well beyond their own. They have trouble imagining that what they will grow into tomorrow bears little resemblance to what their quest for popularity forces them to do today.  It’s ok not to be cool. You know leaders and activists come and go, but I worry about the kids who think they know. I hate the anger in the society in which they grow.

The opinions of inveterate Trump haters and hardened Trump supporters are basically useless.

There is always one good golfer who is classified when Majors begin as “their time has come”. This year it is probably Rickie Fowler.

While it’s trendy to follow Amazon, Google And Apple, old Microsoft still remains a huge factor in the tech business. Old Microsoft?

People have become prisoners of their phones. That’s why they are called cell phones.

Hollywood liberals can’t understand why everybody in their profession doesn’t continually berate Trump. It’s simple. There some in Hollywood who are actually humans who understand that the majority humans are tired of 24/7 negativity.

Gun owners are expected to look beyond Dick’s for athletic equipment. When you add politics to your business plan, you suffer the consequences.

The crush on Old Age Economics is expected to accelerate as millennials look at lower retirement ages. These people wo want it all expect to have it all by the time they are 55 or 56. Yikes. Invest in leisureville and its associated activities.

I got tasered at the airport. I walked in waved to my friend and yelled, Hi Jack!

Did you see where a petition signed by 600,000 Californians that would allow a vote in November that would dividing the mammoth ungovernable 5^th largest economy in the word into 3 separate states? Great idea for flag makers, but probably not feasible. Based on the map I saw, it look as though it would just produce 3 more liberal states with six instead of two liberal senators.

The Answer:

While I can never tell them apart, the Property Brothers are Drew and Jonathan Scott. Flip or Flop now star the divorcees trying to put it back together on te sets for income – Tarek and Christina El Moussa. Love it or List It is one of my favorites starring quipping real estate Agent David Visentin and designer Hilary Farr as friendly adversaries. I imagine anybody who knows anything about H&GTV knows that Johanna And Chip Gaines are the happy married couple cavorting through Fixer Upper. Home Town is features the homey couple who are quite creative – Ben and Erin Napier. This show grows on you. But I wonder if Ben and Erin will soon run out of possible projects in their small town.

When the cows returned to the marijuana fields, it was the Pot calling the cattle back!

See you all tomorrow. Meanwhile I’m going on a hunger strike until I receive an independent opinion.  I could lose a lot of weight.
