Kinda', somewhat, maybe. Or not. With downcast eyes and a cowed demeanor, I have to admit that I never liked tomatoes. Everybody around me would put raw, sliced tomatoes on their sandwiches or even just eat the fruit by itself. But me, no, I just couldn't stand them. UNTIL! Yes, until I tried a tomato right off the vine. Suddenly I fell in love with this terrific, tasty fruit. I don't quite understand this phenomena because I've always loved ketchup, pizza, marinara sauce, spaghetti sauce and...

Thursday night I watched the made for TV hearing on the January 6th protest. For the first five minutes or so the Chairman, Democrat Bennie Thompson, praised Liz Cheney for her support of the Democrat’s actions against Donald Trump. He gave Cheney the honor of being the first to speak against Trump and the “riots”. Cheney stated multiple times that Congress needed a full accounting of what happened that day but she presented an patently biased account, presenting the Democrat’s story as if she was a prosecuting attorney. The present...

On a bumper sticker the statement, “It needs to be reread, not rewritten” overlaid a picture of the Constitution. It appears to oppose a Convention of States but, at the same time, it showed ignorance of what the COS truly is. Until about three months ago I said the same. Then HJ0002, Convention of States, tweaked my curiosity and I had to actually research the COS rather than just listen to what others had to say. It didn’t take me long to realize they were wrong and didn’t have a clue about the COS. Now I understand the only people who sho...
