I have a Dream...

If you do the Bird Box challenge take small sips Antoinette.

Well boys and girls, being that it's MLK Day, it's a good day for dreaming...and I dream big! I have a dream that we go back to higher standards...in entertainment, journalism, government, education and certainly booze🍸...life after college is too short for MD2020!😁 I have a dream that we cut the head off the monster👹 of entitlement we've created in our children by not holding them accountable and trying to be their friend instead of parent. I have a dream that the media will report the news with fairness and accuracy without the bias of bigoted and infantile journalists and other prevaricators of Party🐎🐘 over country🇺🇸. I have a dream that Americans will replace their false victimhood, thin skin, and fear of statues🗿, words, jokes, names and other imagined threats with resolve, courage, fortitude, strength and the intelligence passed down to us from our collective Heritage🏛⛪🗽. I have a dream that education will once again take on the burden of education and abandon the politicking, proselytizing, propaganda and grade padding by insincere public educators and out of touch ivory tower elites unwittingly preparing their own destruction by passing an uneducated generation on to the future...with honors! Covfefe! Now of course this sounds more like a nightmare than a dream, but my glass is half full of wine 🍷which means 2 things...1) I obviously drink wine so I know things, and 2) I have room for more wine. Fill me up...thank you!🥂 Now while we can't prescribe wine to the youth so that they will learn more fully, we can use the knowledge we as wine consuming adults have acquired to hold the youth accountable for their efforts and bestow praise when worthy, encouragement when down and sternness when necessary; award trophies only for championships and above average performance; and assign grades that are merited not diluted. If everybody is an A student all the sudden how do you decide who will be operating on you👨‍⚕️? Building the bridge👨‍🔧? Flying the plane👨‍✈️? Imagine if just anybody could pass the bar...no telling what kind of cocktail you'd be drinking.🙈 Well "I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream." I dream that the wokes will awaken. That the moral preeners, SJWs, virtue signalers and PC Gestapo will realize the error of their ways and repent before leading the sheep🐑 on the Road to Perdition. I know my fellow Americans, that as long as you're a Party🐎🦄 to the Chicken Little 🐔half of America for whom the sky is falling upon...someone else is to blame, and apparently you believe the solution is one step closer to 1984, Big Brother, Group Speak, infinite genders, Venezuela🇻🇪 and an IQ equal to your age. Fat, drunk and stupid might have been good enough to get Blutarsky out of the Animal House and to the US Senate; give CardiB her 15 minutes,  and who knows, if a certain Freshman Rep. just adds a little weight and switches from fireballs to whiskey because she has the rest, her future might follow the same path #aoc.😉 I wonder if her sorority ever ran a train🚂?🙈🙉🙊 However,  the rest us should probably figure out a better path for our own lives specifically and America in general. How did we get here, and how do we get back to MAGA? Of course the answer is education...like it used to be before speech was limited, words harmed, and countervailing views created the need for safe spaces. Back when you went to college to expand your mind not close it, when you earned a degree, not bought it and when college was an achievement warranted not an arbitrary quota fulfilled. Even Twitter recognized the need to expand our minds from 140 character mini thoughts to the magnum opus of 280 character tomes!🤔 We all know if you're young and lazy, or older and lazy for that matter, it's too much effort to read books and develop your own weltanschauung🌎. Instead today we find that if it's information that requires us to turn a page📖 it will go unread by the vast majority. So instead we've created a dependent world that just Goebbels it🙊...I mean Google's it...that way we now know where to find what to think and get a regurgitatable amount of information from wiki, etc to pass off as an original thought. Any effort to actually verify and cross check from sources other than what Messrs. Page and Brin and their little techies think you should know will take you in a circular spin in the deep dark web👹...and you thought only China dictated your access🇨🇳! Now what we do know is that the little millennials who operate the Google machine and get information out there "on the line" are certainly tech savvy, but unfortunately have the common sense of Barney Fife...and the big picture understanding equivalent to  CGI... you know Fake Views🎥. Now of course it's not their fault, nothing is...and they have the trophies to prove it🏆! In fact it's not anybody's fault except those that disagree with Big Brother, sister, cisgender, 🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♀️e.t.c e.t.c...you get the picture... yeah #metoo. They're hell bent on marching us lock step over the cliffs of the Brave New World...because they don't get it...they are trapped between the world of A.I. and the world of A.I. Huh?🤔 The Artificial Intelligence of the easy to access technologies of today that gives you "answers" without thinking 💻and the life long option to not work(just need to figure out who will pay your allowance💵), and worse...the Artificial Intelligence of inflated grades 📈because teachers don't want the hassle of crying kids, nagging parents, ego damaging evaluations, and finding willing dupes for the overpriced "education"... while public schools can more easily play games with achievement numbers. "But we're for education, we just need more money!" Education undoubtedly benefits from money...to a degree, but you know what's better? Reading, reading and reading! Last I checked, public libraries are free. Open a book and when you're old enough uncork a bottle🍾...it will open your eyes😯. Choose salvation over perdition. And while the NFL refs may have taken the Bird Box challenge (Epic fail)  the rest of us should try hard to not go through life with blinders. Just ask the Boss, Blind Man's Bluff is a little bit insane so I recommend education and dreaming big. Don't cost you nothing... just ask T. Petty or even that other Blondie...

Felt so good like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
And it was always cold, no sunshine

Yeah, runnin' down a dream
Never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream

Or...

I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own, something you can have and hold
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreamin'
Dreamin' is free
Dreamin', dreamin' is free

Dreamin', dreamin' is free
Dreamin', dreamin' is free

You're killin' me Smalls!

And they ask me why I drink Antoinette. 

I'm here to kick ass and drink whiskey, and pilgrim I'm out of whiskey! Fill me up barkeep or someone is in trouble! Now you're probably wondering what's got my grundies in a bunch? Why am I yelling at kids to get off my lawn? Well actually I'm not that angry...at least not about kids playing in the yard. In fact I'm all for it...kids need to play outside more, and boys specifically need a place to run around, burn energy and be boys. Play games...catch⚾️, football🏈, hot box, army, cowboys🤠 and Indians, capture the flag, shoot bottle rockets🚀 at each other, play lawn darts and even "smear the queer" back when it just meant the odd guy out with the ball🤔. You know the time somewhere between the Gay '90s🧚‍♂️ and the  AYFKM "woke" 2010s🤬. That's how you began to toughen up to the challenges of life, learn how to compete, maybe get in a fight once in awhile to show you'll stand you'r ground and face consequences, show off for the other sex🤾‍♂️ (don't get triggered I grew up in simpler times when science mattered😜) and aspire to making yourself more competitive, stronger, faster, smarter, daring🎢 and proficient at the 7 kinds of farts enumerated by George Carlin🤭. Now SJWs have tried to redefine what biology♂️♀️, evolution and history have created to suit the man bun💇‍♂️, man purse👜, emasculated mannequin of their dreams from behind their internet firewall, using their Google brain to regurgitate puerile memes, and attack the foundations of not only Western Civilization 💒but biology as well...all because someone once told somebody "they hit like a girl!"🙊🙉🙈 Well you're killing me Smalls...as in small minded, thin skinned, let me go on Oprah and tell you why that statue's 🗿 existence prevents me from being a worthwhile contributor to society. Better make it a double barkeep🍸...or even more insanely/inanely...why we must prevent boys from being boys, thereby men from being men!🧚‍♂️ Hmm, maybe they have a point...I mean who doesn't want to live in a world of gender neutral, testosterone barren, emotionally sharing, pinterest pinning, Ellen watching "girly men"? 🙊🙉🙈 Ugh and not the Tom Brady ones! All this because somebody somewhere once got their lunch money taken by a bully, or got picked last for dodgeball and it wasn't fair. Why am I harping on this now you ask? Well take a look at recent "academic" conclusions that have made the headlines. That's academic in the science denying sort of way like it's dated to think biology only allows for two sexes ♂️♀️when the wokes know there are as many as any nut job (that's nut job without any nuts😉) can come up with. Well now according to the journal published by the American Psychological Association..."Traditional masculinity is harmful..." ; then according to another academic journal, "Eating meat promotes toxic masculinity." Not even you vegan 🥑🥦males escape the wrath, "Eating a vegan diet promotes 'white masculinity,' sociologist argues." And don't get me started on you "Crouching tiger, Hidden dragon, Downward dog types" ... "Americans who practice yoga contribute to white supremacy"🤦‍♂️ according to Michigan State prof. We're all just Spartans I guess (male privilege dad joke🤔😁). Time to wake up world and get your head out of your apps💻😁. I know this is just another ridiculous fad like disco and communism (I guess some nitwits in NYC are feeling nostalgic for stupider times #aoc), but the world needs men...strong men💪, just like the world needs women...strong women🏋️‍♀️. This yin and yang ☯️has been pretty good at perpetuating the human race, building civilization, providing fodder for comedy shows, and building the foundation of Hef's empire 👙 (yeah #metoo). They do this by complementing each other...not be being each other.🧚‍♂️ Besides, if men stop being men, what will women do with all that free time from trying to change us? What, that's sexist? Hmm, go figure. Oh well... guess I'm just nostalgic for the good ol' days and a nice slice of American Pie... maybe Don McLean's music will save our mortal soul...

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died

I started singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Drink more, Live longer!

Walk softly and carry a big stick then they won't hear you sneaking up on them Antoinette.

It's that time of year again people. One week into 2019 📆so time for the annual assessment of our New Year's resolutions and whether our resolve is any better this year than every other year. Since more often than not resolutions revolve around health 🏋️‍♂️and happiness 😁and how to improve both, I think it's time to ask the important questions. Namely, how long do you actually want to live?👴 Though that may seem like a silly question prima facie, considering the state of current affairs and the fork in the road🎢 we've arrived at, it's not inconceivable that many might opt for the rock and roll fantasy...live fast, die young! YOLO!🕺💃 Afterall, who wants to live in a world where comedians can't be funny, Hollyweird somehow sees themselves as the moral arbiter, MSM can't be honest, the PC Taliban polices individuality👮‍♂️, Congress is led by senile nitwits who somehow got rich on the public dime👵🏛, the Senate has become a comicon convention for Indian cosplay and Spartacus moments🤔😉, and freshman Reps with the towering intellect of a middle schooler get elected as a socialist🤡👧. Covfefe! Makes you wonder if she thinks socialist means someone who really likes going to parties!?🙈 Yeah, #metoo! Well let's leave that kind of whine for those "victims" of the herd who run from scary statues🗿, hide in their shell away from hurtful words🐢 and melt at the idea of personal responsibility❄, but not to worry, they'll get "thinned" first🦁...if you can't deal with the above inconsequentials then go ahead and retreat to your safe space in a basement behind an internet firewall💻🖱 living off soy products and bird food. The rest of us will be outside steeling our constitutions to this "climate change" ☀️🌡🔥with 2 of the 4 main food groups...alcohol🍸 and coffee🍵 and quite possibly living forever!  Well "I'm not stupid, Lucius. No one lives forever. No one. But with advances in modern science and my high level of income, I mean, it's not crazy to think I can't live to be 245, maybe 300." Well truth be told, unlike Ricky Bobby🏎,  I don't have that high a level of income, but science has found the key to living longer.👨‍🔬👩‍🔬 According to the University of California Irvine and a study of aging, people who drank alcohol and or coffee were more likely to live into their 90s and beyond than the abstainers. What's more...people who put on a little weight in their 70s also tended to outlive those who were normal or underweight. So go to the gym and get buff💪 for the time being cuz you'll look better in the buff!😜🙈 But scrap that anti alcohol and caffeine diet🚫... you'll live longer, enjoy life more, probably get lucky a time or two 😍and besides, you're an adult now... that's how you deal with threatening statues, harmful words and puerile rants from the deranged. Remember, wine is a great way to drown out the whine🍷, but sometimes you need something a little stronger...besides liquor is quicker! 🍸It's a new year and that's always a good time for a fresh start. Let's just not forget what makes us happy. Keep the coffee, savor the wine, sip your whiskey and make it a life worth living. If you need inspiration just look to a past politician, Teddy Roosevelt, a man who lived life, governed passionately and with compassion, won the Medal of Honor🥉, Nobel Peace Prize🏆, built the Panama Canal🛳, explored the world🌎, gave a Square Deal 🤜🤛, wrote books and read one every day📖 and never played the victim or silver spoon card despite opportunity. So follow the model...don't let others tell you how to be. This year resolve to choose strength over weakness, intelligence over stupidity, and optimism over negativism. Then heed the words of another guy who knew something about enjoying life and escaping the oppresiveness of group think, big government, and the self righteous, Bob Marley, who said "love the life you live, live the life you love" then you'll find Redemption in a Song...

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Won't you have to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs

War on Men

Sometimes you need something a little stronger than wine, Antoinette.

Well boys and girls it's the last day of 2018🍾🎉🥳 and if there is one thing we've learned this year is that the world is full of the ridiculous...and if you remove the "ri" and the first "u" from that word you'll see where this is headed!🤔🙈 That's right there's a war on men and I'm here to fight back! There seems to be only one safe space left for us non quiche eating XYs🤠...the Man Cave! The only respite for the marginalized voice of men! Which is why I've decided to fight this battle from my "cave"... and my new blog...The Man Cave Rave! Of course, as you might expect this war emanated from Europe where the testosterone level has been plummeting for decades. Combined with the birth of the gender confused millennial, science denying LGBTQXPALIDOCIOUS community and yeah, #metoo (doesn't bisexual imply only 2 genders? How discriminating can you get). Men are being attacked from all sides including ironically by...The Man!?🤔 Which in this case is the government maaannnn and the Dude can't abide! Big Brother armed with a pen and a politically correct fanaticism that seeks to erase all things phallic from existence🗼. If that's not denying science I don't know what is! Apparently the E.U. (rhymes with P.U.) wants to delete all references to men in their translations among their 28 participating countries. They want to make words gender inclusive and pronouns gender neutral...in other words they want to neuter men! Now while this may have made learning my noun declensions easier in Latin with only one sexless ending...I don't think they've fully thought this through. Some things don't matter like police officer instead of policeman or policewoman when talking to a mixed group... since in everyday parlance they're just 5-0,  or PoPo! But the world can't do without man/men...without which you wouldn't have woman/ women, and I'm not talking about X and Y, nor am I talking about Adam's Rib. If you remove man/men from the language and replace it with something neutered here's what you get...the loss of humanity (hupeoplety?)! No more humans, just people. You can't say Romance, manners, Mannischevitz, manufacture, sportsmanship, demanding, performance, manage, mango, Roman, mandolin, and in Spanish there'd be no tomorrow (psst...mañana) without man. The movie Flashdance would be without their hit song🤔😉. Kids would have to use the 4 letter version of cow manure. Heterosexual Mermaids would have no one to hook up with🙈🧜‍♀️🧜‍♂️. No more of grandma's manicotti. You'd never get to stay at Mandalay in Vegas. What are you going to call a Preying Mantis? What's Manfred Mann going to call themselves? Talk about Blinded by the Light. Which brothers are you going to credit with 4 superbowls🤔🏈😁? Who wrote Magic Mountain? What's a third wheel in France going to do without the ménage à tois? How do you have a bromance without a man? What language will 1.2 billion Chinese speak? What happens to Manchester, Mannheim, Manila, Manitoba? Where do the Yemeni live? Where will the dyslexic go without Panama?🤔😉 The Beatles🐞 would be without a big hit and the IRS would have no money💵...hmm, wait a minute?🤔 Nevermind, the point is the world needs man's kind. Not to mention without which you can't have wo-men. You can't even have fe-males. It's the new year men, resolve to step up and be like Ricky Bobby🏎...get your balls back...and tell the haters to leave your manhood alone. It faces enough dangers from everyday life...flying objects🏌️‍♂️🏒⚾️⚽️, stray kicks🥋, No's👙💋, e.t.c...without having to fight city hall 🏛and big government. Remember men, it's your cave... you make the rules. Eat, Drink, smoke and watch all the sports you want. Decorate it like the neanderthal caveman caves with cartoon pictures of velvet dogs playing poker, stuffed animals, and bikini clad cavegirls like Raquel Welch in One Million Years B.C.🤪 Now have a blast New Year's Eve and drink up. Remember, wine is delicious🍷, but sometimes you need something a little stronger🍸 and all you have to do is watch football🏈 tomorrow! Now put on some James Brown🕺 and play your music loud! Hold on... what dear? Turn it down? Yes dear...🙉🙈🙊

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark

This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
