Happy Memorial Day!

 

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

The kicker gets famous

 

Kickers are usually the smallest players on the field, but they have outsized influence.  Often, they are the difference between winning and losing and frequently hit the field goal at the end...or miss and lose.

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker gave a graduation speech at Benedictine College in Atkinson, Kansas, that seems to have ruffled the liberal elite.  He called on women to be homemakers and mothers.  

  Immediately, we see the "outrage" from the usual crowd.  We even saw the NFL Diversity, Inclusion, Equity guy distance himself from the opinion, which, by the way, is the opposite of inclusion.

Meanwhile jersey sales for Butker's #7 have skyrockets and may degree-bearing women have come out in his defense. His own teammates have supported him as well,  It is pretty obvious that the "wokism" stuff is getting stale.

We have freedom of speech in this country.  Attempts to "dox" people or get them fired for something that is not "fashionable" is akin to MacCarthyism.  

Like I said before, wokism needs to make room in the dustbin of history somewhere between Nazis, feudal monarchies, and communism.   

And disco!

Go Butker

Aurora Borealis!

 

I have seen the Northern Lights before up in Canada.  I have even seen them out here in the desert  a couple of times.  Its not easy to spot sometimes, but it is still an amazing sight!  

Usually it is a product of reflections of the lakes in sub-Arctic Canada and this year it was due to a Sun storm.  Still really awesome stuff.  Waiting for some moron to turn it into something political.  LOL

Nonetheless it does remind me of looking up in wonder the first time I saw them in Saskatchewan.  I was lucky enough to be on the edge of Regina away from city lights.  This time, Michelle and I were out in the desert watching it as coyotes howled.  That was interesting!

If you did not get to see it, check it out on Youtube.  Not the same as seeing it in real life, but better than missing it completely!

Happy Greek Orthodx Easter!
