CBS lead NFL analyst and Super Bowl winning quarterback Phil Simms, along with NBC studio NFL analyst and Super Bowl winning coach Tony Dungy, declared yesterday that they would avoid using the term “Redskins” in their on-air coverage of the NFL this year in protest of the insulting and derogatory team moniker hailed since 1932.   What hypocrites !

After earning millions from the league  ( I love Tony Dungy, Simms not so much), and agreeing to lucrative  broadcast contracts  with the National Football League, these sappy dolts and many like them all of a sudden get a conscience because of  the outrage spewing from the national Proglibocrat press and from our otherwise unoccupied politicians.  Haven’t heard much from Native Americans though, have we ?  Well, I don’t take my ethical cues from those two sorry groups, so hard as it is to say as a loyal Cheesehead,   Hail to the Redskins !

Hall of Famer and generally tough guy, Iron Mike Ditka captured my sentiments precisely yesterday: “What’s all the stink over the Redskin name ?  It’s so much horse_____, it’s incredible.  We’re going to let the liberals of the world run this world.  It was said out of reverence, out of pride to the American Indian.  That’s the way it is .”                      WHAT THE HECK !

Sitting at my desk tonight scared to death to put money to work in our markets tomorrow.     Why in the world do our bond and stock markets completely ignore the rapidly deteriorating world political landscape ?  Need that ostrich with his/her head in the sand from my last post.            WHAT THE HECK !

The politically correct story goes something like this : Islam is a peace-seeking religion, the Koran teaches/preaches love and cooperation, and it’s only a slice of the Muslim world that is crazed with hatred, intolerance and bloodlust.  Let’s see, 10% of 1.5 billion Muslims equals 150 million (yes million) kooks that all hate Israel and the USA.    Oops, forgot that since 1948, 11 million Muslims have been killed violently, 99.3% by fellow Muslims who don’t like your particular brand of Islam.

So where is the uproar among the remaining 90%.  How often have you heard Muslim leaders in our country or worldwide decry the activities of the crazies that give the religion a bad name ?  You know the answer.  If 10% of my faith body went off a  deep violent end, they would be exorcised and publicly ridiculed ASAP.    The Amish wisely excommunicate those not interested in a positive representation of their faith.   So why don’t we hear from the mullahs ?     WHAT THE HECK !

While Emperor Barrack lounges on Martha’s Vineyard for two weeks, he might want to spend some beach time identifying in his mind who the good guys and bad guys are in this world today.  Benjamin Netanyahu is a good guy, proactively attempting to protect his nation from rockets launched against his population by looney tunes from the Gaza Strip.   The aforementioned looney tunes, the duly elected Hamas leaders of Palestine, are the bad guys, shamefully using their women and children as human shields, then turning over their sometimes bloody demise to CNN.   Verbally and forcefully support Netanyahu, and roundly and regularly condemn the Palestinian crazies.  You cannot negotiate with fanatical bad guys.

The morons in parts of Germany , Paris and Chicago waving signs last week in support of Hamas are the bad guys Mr. President.    Publicly condemn their activities. Speak up – you represent the good guys.

Vladimir Putin is a bad guy, taking advantage of our nation’s weakened leadership and threatening his neighbors.   The Ukranians are the good guys.  Arm them to the hilt.  Support them logistically.

Boko Haram in Nigeria are really, really bad guys.  They continue to kidnap, rape and enslave Christians in Northeast Nigeria.   Now that our nation’s trendy social media campaign has lost its steam with regard to the May kidnapping of several hundred girls,  work with the flawed, but still good guy Nigerian army to track them down.   Do it today.

Courageous Christian pastors, like Saeed Abedini, imprisoned in an Iranian prison since 2012, are good guys.  Work like heck, Mr. President, with the bad guys in Iran to free people like Mr. Abedini.

What will it take Mr. President, to get you off your duff and confront the reality that the bad guys are flourishing and running rampant because the good guys (us) are sticking our heads in the sand ?    You can’t keep ignoring the bad guys like the civilized world did in the 1930s with Hitler, saying we didn’t know.   We see the bad guys on TV and on the internet every day.   The good guys (us) have no excuse today.    WHAT THE HECK !

Earlier today, I accidentally spilled some spot remover on my dog, and now she’s gone.   WHAT THE HECK !

Caught the beginning of the Baltimore Ravens preseason football game on Thursday night from M&T Bank Stadium at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore.   Fresh off his two game suspension for spousal abuse, Ray Rice’s pregame introduction appeared to be met by a standing ovation from the crowd, I guess “for all he’s been through”. Also looked like a lot of women and kids busted out  their Ray Rice official NFL jerseys for the occasion.   What’s wrong with those people in Baltimore ?                              WHAT THE HECK !

I’ve finally nailed it down.  It wasn’t dwindling force at sea, nor poor finances, nor bad teeth, nor Yankee ingenuity or socialist health care, nor any series of actions/inactions by assorted kings/queens and prime ministers that brought the mighty British empire to its knees in the early 20th century.  Instead, they blew it with sports !   Yes, after soccer season, and after all the rugby players have overrun the hospitals with neck and head injuries, all the Brits have to look forward to is cricket season.    Cricket, as most civilized nations are aware, breeds sullen laziness and absolute madness, as the following commentary (ESPN) from this past week’s match between England and India at Old Trafford in Manchester will attest.

“A woeful batting display on the third afternoon meant India subsided to 161 and handed England victory despite Stuart Broad being in hospital with a broken nose.  India lost nine wickets after tea, including one period of 5 for 13 in 29 balls, and it was not the swing, seam, and pace that caused most havoc, instead it was Moeen Ali twirling and spinning his way to 4 for 39.  It took a little longer for India’s collapse to set in as Chris Woakes claimed his first wicket before tea, but their demise to 66 for 6 was in many ways more extraordinary given England were a bowler down, the sun was out, and the new ball had been weathered.  After waiting for the new ball, Jos Butler performed a lovely one to take their stand to 134 as both reached half centuries.”

Enough you say ?  Imagine hearing that gibberish on sports talk radio and in newspapers for months on end.  We in the USA have wonderful seasonal sports all year round, which keeps our men, women and leaders sane enough to take a break from  all the troubles in the world, and function effectively day-to-day.     No wonder the Brits are having trouble even keeping ahold of N. Ireland and Scotland.  Why else would you drink warm Guinness ?          WHAT THE HECK !

I was  relaxing today at the White House after my morning round of golf and massage,  just chillin’ with my fluffy white dog and watching Fox (my staff makes me do it one hour a week), when to my viewing  surprise is this woman claiming to be the mom of an ex-Marine named Andrew Tahmooressi who has evidently been in a Mexican jail since April 1.   The press claims he wandered into Tijuana with guns in the trunk of his car.  Come on, this has got to be an April Fool’s joke because nobody talked to me about it.

Let’s see, I can ignore the problem and it will probably go away, or people will forget about it.  That’s not working for me anymore.  Or I could take Air Force One down to the border, yell really loud across the Rio Grande and make a big scene and take advantage of a great photo-op.  Nah, I hear there’s too many kids wandering around there right now.  Too noisy.   I could send some lawyers ? Guess I could call President Nieto, or is it Pena-Nieto, whatever, and ask for a favor.  After all, we’ve been happy to take millions of his folks into the USA and turn them into Democrats.  And gosh, we serve their food at a bunch of eateries in every US city.  He owes us !

Maybe Nieto plays golf, and I can trade him 18 holes at Pebble Beach for Mr. Tahmooressi’s release ?   We’ll make it a threesome, now there’s a photo-op .   Oops, running late to get to my fundraiser in NYC tonight.   I’ll call Nieto when I get back to Washington.        WHAT THE HECK !

Never had the pleasure of being arrested, living the sedentary and peaceful life of a retired evil banker. I always thought my opportunity would come while harassing overpaid and underworked public employee union members while they were picketing.  But I was wrong !

A shopping mall in suburban Georgia has instituted a “no prayer” policy on its shoppers, preferring to protect even one person who might be offended at such a blatant display of faith and thankfulness.   A group of female joggers starts and finishes their runs at the mall, and begins and ends the runs with a simple prayer.  Nothing “in your face”, no megaphones, no proselityzing, just a silent group expression of thanks to God.   Mall security guards, backed by new written mall policies ,literally raced to the rescue of concerned non-believers to intercede and halt this abomination !

I thought the Constitution mandated freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.   I can guarantee that the first time a prayer of mine is interrupted and forbidden in public, those in charge will be dragging me away to the pokey.   Please come bail me out.     WHAT THE HECK !

If you watch the news regularly, it becomes apparent quite quickly how little good news there is, or alternatively how little of the good news gets reported.  I’m fortunate to know a couple in Mobile, Alabama that have served God faithfully for over ten years, reflecting His love to the youth of an area in Mobile (Pritchard) that is so bad it is hard to describe.  Talk about two strikes against you at birth !

After 8 weeks of Summer camp serving over 350 kids, my friends posted a few photos that reflect what can be accomplished by following God’s plan.  The attached picture is labeled “The Reason for Summer Camp”.  Wish there were angels in more depressed places that had a servant nature like my friends.   WHAT THE HECK !
