JOHN WAYNE, AMERICAN

Every day is a challenge as to how to start this post. Then I realized yesterday was The Duke’s birthday. He’d be 105 if he were still with us. It’s hard to imagine (or maybe not) what he’d have to say about this president and what this country has become since he passed. Never a man to mince words, you always knew where he stood. The title is the inscription that’s on his gravestone. He was the cowboy hero every boy wanted to be and a firm supporter of the Viet Nam War when it was unpopular. We could sure use him today. Film Actor (1907–1979 John Wayne was born May 26, 1907, in Winterset, Iowa. He received his first leading film role in The Big Trail (1930). Working with John Ford, he got his next big break in in Stagecoach (1939). His career as an actor took another leap forward when he worked with director Howard Hawks in Red River (1948). Wayne won his first Academy Award in 1969. He died of cancer in 1979. http://www.biography.com/people/john-wayne-9525664

BACK TO BUSINESS TUESDAY

First,my thoughts and prayers go out to a friend of The Grunt and I, Texan 59. He lives in flood-ravaged Texas and was a regular commenter on another site (yes,there ARE other websites.) May God keep him and his family safe. I’m wondering if Barry plans to offer federal disaster aid to the state that’s been the biggest pain in his bony ass. If the past is any indicator, he’ll completely brush them off as he has every other red state. It’s a safe bet Texans won’t whine about a government handout. They’re used to dealing with foreign intruders.

LEST WE FORGET

It is at times like this that I wish I was blessed with the rhetorical skills to adequately express the profound awe I’m in of people who willingly put their devotion to their country and the welfare of strangers, many of whom show animus toward them, and lay down their lives for what is in their hearts the noblest of causes. How my heart aches for the gold star families who were deprived of loved ones just entering the prime of their lives. I can scarcely contain my utter contempt for a president who treats such warriors as no more than gum on the sole of his shoe. I’ll not dwell on a critique of the Commander-In-Chief, this is not the day for it. It is rather to honor those who, as Lincoln said, “gave their last full measure of devotion.” We owe these immortals a debt we can never begin to repay. The best we can do is to honor them and make sure the sacrifices they made will not be in vain.

SOMETIMES YA JUST GOTTA SMILE

There are a lot of days where doing this post is a lot like having constipation. It’s difficult getting started, but once it does it can go on for an uncomfortable amount of time. I really try to avoid posting about Killary, but I don’t remember a time when somebody could suck up every CC of oxygen in the room for as long as she has. I’m getting started late, so it’ll take me through an episode of Maverick, 2 Riflemans and a Wyatt Earp just to get finished. I feel pretty goofy today so either it’ll be a good post or I’ll end up with the back door trots.

REMEMBER MY POSTING THE THING ABOUT THE WOOKIE YESTERDAY? GUESS WHAT I FOUND ON FB?
SHE’S GOT AN ASS LIKE TWO SOWS TRYING TO GET OUT OF A GUNNY SACK. I DON’T BLAME BARRY FOR BEING A CLOSET HOMO. GETTING NEAR THOSE THIGHS COULD RUIN YOU. LITERALLY. TIE A BOARD ACROSS YOUR ASS SO YOU DON’T FALL IN, CHUM

EVEN THE SMALL THINGS ARE PRECIOUS

We met my uncles and two of my cousins for our regular Thursday morning breakfast get-together. It’s one thing I can look forward to every week that brings me great joy. As we were leaving this morning, my cousin said she had granny’s old jewelry box with her, and did I want it back? I said ‘sure’ and so she got it out of her car and gave it to me. I remember it sitting on granny’s bedroom dresser for years. There was some jewelry left in it. Nothing of real value, but there was a rhinestone pin in the shape of a diamond she used to wear when she got dressed up to go out with Grampa. It brought back a flood of memories that had been dormant for many decades. She wore it to our church’s Christmas services and even wore it the day we buried the love of her life in 1972. After I fix a couple drawer pulls I plan to give it to my daughter to hand down to my granddaughter. I’m on the fence whether to keep the pin or give it to her, hoping she might cherish it as much as I do. It has absolutely no value money-wise, but it is priceless to me.

tee.

SOMEHOW, SOME WAY, SOME DAY

Probably not in my lifetime, but some of these liberals will actually suffer some real punishment for the decades of atrocities they’ve committed in the name of diversity, fairness, social justice, and just plain greed. It just gets so depressing to see the crap they pull over and over with no fear whatsoever of consequences. The more blatant the lies and theft they commit the richer they become. I had given some thought to making this a 100% Hillary post because there’s so much in the “news” anymore but even I couldn’t stand that much. Maybe I’ll do it one day.

IS IT FRIDAY YET?

Why does it seem like the journey from Monday to Friday is a marathon and from Friday to Monday is a sprint? Of course,when you’re retired every day is pretty much the same. I’m glad to see Mindful stopping by again. He adds a great deal of insight into the exchange of ideas here.

HAPPY FRIDAY

Another week almost finished. Still waiting for the weather to warm up for more than a day. And stop raining every weekend. There’s a big flea market at our county fairgrounds this weekend. DW mentioned it in passing, which means: I WANT TO GO. Since I had to sell all my toys I don’t collect anything and don’t have the disposable income I once had. But there’s an avon rep who sets up there where my beloved child bride stocks up on her year’s supply of Imari,her favorite fragrance. She also picks up some of D#1’s favorite perfume. I’d really rather not go, but over the years I’ve developed a healthy fear of her. Just sayin’.

THIS JUST IN:

NEWS FLASH! According to the latest statistics there are more Angus steers killed than any other kind of cattle. THIS SENSELESS SLAUGHTER MUST STOP! #Black Lives Matter

Yesterday’s discussion was most gratifying. What I love about our little garden is we can express our opinions openly, honestly, and rationally, without anyone being judgmental. I so appreciated everyone’s thoughts and the valid points everybody made that perhaps others had not considered. If only we could have this type of dialogue on a national level maybe we’d start to understand each other. That, obviously, will not happen because of the control the leftist media has over the national discourse. At least we can talk about whatever we have on our minds here. I don’t much give a damn what anybody else thinks. I’m too old to worry about it.
