Do you ever wish you can get a new life when things don’t work out as expected? Do you wish you can just start over?

Sometimes, there is no second chances in life or a relationship. If you mess up in a relationship, you could be kick to the curb and going through the Big D, and I don’t mean Dallas.

Sometimes though, you are given a second chance in life to make a change for the better. There’s no guarantees though. If you grows up in a dysfunctional family or low income, It’s hard to break free from that lifestyle you grew up in.

There’s a homeless shelter called, “New Life Center,” They don’t really help like they should. New Life Center runs like a jail. I can understand with some people, you have to lay down the law if you are to help that person; but not everyone is the same. New Life Center and other homeless shelter gets money from the government by how many people they have in the shelter. New Life Center has different variety of people who are homeless. If you have a bladder issue; which leads you to making a mess, they will kicked you out because of it being unsanitized. As some gets older, they will have bladder issues. They must be set up to help them as well.

The state should withhold money from these homeless shelter if they don’t actually help the homeless get on their feet. I can understand that there are some you can’t help because of mental illness.

They worked with Fargo Housing to help find an apartment. Yet Fargo Housing doesn’t help as good as they should.

You hear stories of homeless shelters are filled up with illegal immigrants in these sanctuary city. New Life Center has there share of illegal immigrants as well. It seems that they and Housing would rather help the illegal immigrants over the American citizens. When they do that they should lose funding as well, as being investigated.

If a husband messed up and cheat on his wife, he should expect to get a divorce. As Jerry Reed sang, “She got the goldmine, I got the shaft.”

There is hope though in starting over with a new life. It’s all about being born again.

BORN AGAIN is a Christian term for a spiritual rebirth; which means a person gets a new spiritual life through faith in Jesus Christ. When a person accepted the Lord into their life and seek forgiveness for their sins, the Lord shall forgive you of all your sins. He wipes the slate clean. The past is no more. You get a new life in Jesus Christ.

Have you messed up so bad that you are seeking forgiveness? Do you want a new life in Christ Jesus?

If you want a new life, you can say this Sinner’s Prayer. “Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe that you died for my sins, and that You rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and ask You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In your name. Amen!”

If this blog speaks to you and you have said the Sinner’s Prayer, then find yourself a good Bible preaching church and fellow believers to help you along the way to have a better life by being better together.

If you agree that the homeless shelters like New Life Center should do a better job in helping the homeless, contact your legislator about it.

Do you ever wonder why you got the name your parents gave you? Do you know what your name mean?

Believe me, I wondered what my mother was thinking when she named me. For the longest time, I did not like my name. I’m sure that I’m not alone in that thinking.

My name Dale means, “A dweller in the valley.” It’s a gender-neutral name deeply rooted in the natural landscape. My name comes from the old English word dael and the old Norse word dair. Both describe a wide open valley stretch between hills. It began in medieval England as a surname for people who lived in or near a valley. It is used as a habitational name across Europe. This includes Norwegian farm names and Americanized version of the German name. My name inspires images of peaceful, green, and lush rolling hill. The symbolism behind my name is because the valleys are low, sheltered areas bordered by mountains. It carries a sense of serenity, protection, and deep, grounded strength.

When I looked at this meaning of my name, I can understand why I prefer a cabin in the woods, to either be by the lake or in the mountain over the big city as I get older. This explains a lot about my nature. Maybe my mother saw that in me when she chose my name.

My name can either be s girl’s or boy’s name. I mean, there was a singer named Dale Evans. My name isn’t as common as some name out there. It’s different and unique. Every so often I find someone else with my name, both male or female.

Growing up, I would be teased a little when some would say, “Dale, where’s Chip?”, from the cartoon characters “Chip and Dale; not to be confused with Chippendales. Now Chippendales is a world famous dance team known for live adult male striptease shows.

I would even get teased by my last name Heger. Some would call me “Hagar the Horrible,” from the comics. Hager the Horrible was a Norwegian Vikings; and my family originated from Germany. It was the high German; which is similar to the Scandinavian country. My last name gets misspelled a lot.

Growing up, I would asked my mother why she named me, Dale. I would rather been named Steve.

I learned that I could have been named after my real father, Ervin; but out of respect for my Aunt Dorothy, who had an Ervin Jr, who had passed away at the age of 12, my mother chose not to do that.

It’s usually some family tradition for the first son to be named after their father. In Luke 1:13, “But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.” In that day, it was unheard of to not have a son named after the father.

Some people named their children after famous people. Some after a family member. Some are even named after an old girlfriend or boyfriend. I mean, how would you like to be named after your father’s old girlfriend ? You would probably have an icky feeling.

Or how would you feel to be named after a celebrity. A famous child celebrity that some parents would name their child after was Shirley Temple. Another celebrity name a child is usually named after is Mickey Mouse.

So who were named after? Do you like your name or are you like me and preferred to have a different name? How would you like to go around with the name “Sue” as in the Johnny Cash song, “A Boy Named Sue?” Especially if you are a boy!

Like I said, “I didn’t much care for my name growing up.” After seeing the meaning of my name, I can now understand and appreciate my name. I prefer a peaceful, tranquil quiet life of the country over the city. So I guess my name make sense in a way.

It’s a parents choice to name their child whatever name they want. Just like it’s a child not to like their name and prefer to be named a different name. My name is unique because it’s not as common as some . Some of the older name is coming back as well. I just hope the name Eliza Jane doesn’t come back; because I don’t really care for that name also. When I hear the name Claudia for a girl name, I’m reminded of someone with claws.

Something for a parent to think about when choosing a name for their child; but in the end it’s their choice. A little fun insightful blog on names.

Have you ever looked at someone and wondered, “What’s up with that person?” Do you look at a person in disgust because of how they look or dress? Do you feel disgusted by some people just because of the way they look or dress?

It’s all about stereotyping people and pre-judging someone without getting to know that person..

STEREOTYPE: is a fixed, overgeneralized, and simplified belief about a group or class of people. It assigns specific traits or expectations to all members of that group, ignoring individual differences.

Almost 2 years ago, I came to that reality about myself when I met a young man named Joey where I was staying. When I saw him from a distance, I did a double look at him and felt very concerned about what he was doing in such a place as were at. I was concerned about the way he was dressed that someone would hurt him. He would dressed up in women’s clothes.

It wasn’t until I got a chance to know him that I saw him at a different light. He opened up my eyes to the fact that we all stereotype someone, one way or another. We all have the tendency to prejudge someone before we get to know that person. As God told Samuel as he was searching for David, “Men looks at the outward appearance-while God looks at the heart.”

Joey took a chance on me so we could get to know each others. I had a chance to hear his story. I grew to love and accept him as one of God’s children. It didn’t matter how he dressed or his lifestyle choice. We became friends as I took him under my wings, looking out for him. I will cherished the memory I had with Joey even though I had grown attached to him. He may have been a hard habits to break; but I will cherished his friendship.

Jesus Christ scolded the Jewish Pharisees for being hypocritical by not accepting others. They saw anyone who was different from them as being “unclean.” Remember, Jesus came down to earth not just for the healthy but for the sick as well. People needs the Lord.

Some so-called religious leaders in the church today do the same thing that Jesus accused the Pharisees of. If they don’t fit in a certain mold like Joey for example. In some churches, some may find it disgusting if someone comes to church not dressed in church clothes but rather jeans that are dirty or have holes in them.

Now Mother Theresa’s ministry was working with the lepers in Calcutta, India. Now Lepers are considered to be an outcast and shunned by society.

I will give some examples of people who are considered outcast and shunned by society. At one time, anyone who had AIDS were considered to be an outcast. After Rock Hudson died of AIDS, the joke going around was: “do you know how to prevent getting AIDS? You are to sit on your ass and keep your mouth shut.”

TRANS were all lumped together and have a mental illness and are violent. I don’t believe that is true because of knowing Joey the way I do. Even though, I don’t think that the schools should be teaching this gender mutations in our schools; it doesn’t mean I don’t accept them. Anyone who teaches that to our kids should register as a sex offender, because they are sexually abusing our kids.

Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachman felt that homosexuality is a form of mental illness and they should be institutionalize and deprogram. Homosexuality is not a mental illness. God doesn’t make junk! God loves us no matter who we are.

Let’s get to the real reason for this blog though; and that is the homeless problems in this country. There are more than one reason why people are homeless. Yet, society would lump all homeless together as being winos and drug addicts. There are people who are homeless for other reasons as well. They complained about the homeless situation but they doesn’t want to do anything about it. They see homeless as lepers, the outcast of society. They want to put the homeless all into one area just to separate them from the rest of society. That way they don’t have to look at them in disgust and disgracer. Like the saying goes, “out of sight-out of mind.” Not all who are homeless are alcoholics or drug addicts. Some may have mental illness, some are families who are living on the streets because they cannot afford a place to live. Some may have been evicted for some reasons either of their own faults or the landlords choosing to kicked them out without giving a liable reason for it. There are elderly who are homeless.

It’s a crying shame that some Veterans are homeless. They fought for this country, for our freedom, but because of the government, they are not well taken care of for their service to this country. In this case, I’m glad for the “Tunnel to Towers,” set up in memory of Stephen Siller by his brother Frank Siller. Stephen Siller was a firefighter who was killed on September 11, 2001 attack.

Have you ever been compared to someone else? Then you are guilty of stereotyping and lumping people together like society would do with the homeless, Trans, or the gay community.

I remembered growing up my mother would compared my sister and I when it came to our reports cards. If one person got a good grade and the other didn’t, she would get mad by saying, “Why can’t you be more like your sister or brother?

Even the schools are guilty of comparing students together and stereotyping. If a child is high energy, they think that they have ADD, Attention Deficit Disorder, they are all hyperactive and need to be medicated. They rather drugged our kids so that they can easily control them. Kids will be kids, let them be.

My mother’s favorite song was, “Don’t Laugh at Me, by Mark Wills. We are not all alike. We should get to know someone before we condemned someone. Yet we are so quick to judge someone for whatever reasons.

Some people would even judge you if they don’t like who voted for, for example anyone who voted for Donald Trump are called racist or Nazi.

Let us take the time to get to know someone; instead of being quick to condemn someone because we don’t like who they voted for, what they are wearing, or even their lifestyle choice. Let us see a person as God sees them. Let us look at the heart of a person. Who knows, you may find that you like that person after all.

I’m glad for the opportunity of getting to know my young friend, Joey. I’m glad that he took a chance on me. I cherished the memories I have with Joey.

Let us just get along with one another and quit judging someone for whatever reason or their circumstances in life. We are all God’s children. It doesn’t matter if we’re black or white, or whatever other reasons. By learning to get along with others, love wins in the end.

As televangelist T.D. Jakes would say about his wife, that she was his first lady of his ministry.

Now a first lady has an important job when it comes to supporting their husband no matter what job or position he may hold. They are to be supportive and encouraging.

In this blog, I will be discussing some of the famous first ladies in America. I have already done 2 blogs on 2 of the first ladies. Some first ladies were great support and some were dealing with issues of their own. Some were more outspoken than others. Some stood out more compared to others. Some were just a sidekick or arm candy for their husband, who happened to be the President of the United States. I will only discussed the first ladies during my lifetime, to keep tis blog from being too long.

Lady Bird Johnson was born Claudia Alta Taylor. The reason for her nickname “Ladybird,” was because she was considered to be as pretty as a lady bird; which refer to as a ladybug. Now a ladybug is a beetle that referred to as a lady or mother Mary. When a person sees a ladybugs, it’s recognized as a powerful symbol of good luck, prosperity, and transformation.

Pat Nixon was the wife of President Nixon. She was given the nickname “Pat”, because she was born on March 16, a day before St. Patrick Day. She was often referred as “St. Patrick’s babe in the morn.”

Betty Ford struggled with addiction to alcohol and prescription painkillers. She founded the Betty Ford Clinic to help others with addictions and alcoholism. She was dealing with her own demons before she could be an effective first lady to Gerald Ford. You have to admire her for that because it takes courage for anyone to faced their demons no matter what it may be.

Even though Jimmy Carter was a weak president, his wife, Eleanor Rosalynn Carter, also known as Rosalynn was an excellent first lady. She was a genuine support for President Jimmy Carter. She reminded me of Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt did the legworks for her husband, Franklin D. Roosevelt since he couldn’t walk. Rosalynn Carter was supportive for Jimmy Carter. They had a long supportive marriage and a long life together. They were a couple that could be admired by others because of their loyalty and love for each others. They had a never ending love for each others.

What can I tell you about Nancy Reagan? Her biggest cause as a first lady the “Just Say No” campaign; which spawn the “WAR ON DRUGS.” She was very supportive of Ronald Reagan; even though she came across as someone with the attitude of someone who thinks their “shit don’t stink but her farts gives her away.” She wasn’t as down to earth as Ronald Reagan. She came across as a snob. Her daughter, Patty Davis didn’t think so highly of her mother.

It kind of make me wonder what kind of first lady, Ronald Reagan’s ex-wife, Jane Wyman would have made. The reason she divorced Ronald Reagan was because she didn’t want a political career like her husband. Their kids were more Conservative than the kids Ronald and Nancy had.

This reminds me of a former pastor and is wife. When this pastor had the call to become a pastor, his wife did not. He went on ahead of her to a Nazarene Bible college. It took a few months before she finally got the call to be a pastor’s wife.

It’s also goes to show what length a husband will goes through for their wife to get them to go along with them. When my step-dad was married to his first wife, he chose not to make a career in the military; even though that was what he wanted. Then when he married my mother, he would look for ways to manipulate her to get what he wants. Deep down he wanted to move back to the farm; but he went different direction until she would caved to his whims. He first suggested that the family moved to Alaska to help build the pipeline. He even suggested, moving the family to Bismarck for some reason.

What I’m getting at the first lady has an important job when it comes to their husbands. They have to be willing to stand by their man and go wherever he wants to go.

I’ll talk more about Nancy Reagan later.

I have have already talked about Barbara Bush in a previous blog; in which I called her “everybody favorite grandmother.

I even talked about Hillary Clinton, and we all know the story about her. I will just say that they both needed each others. Bill needed Hillary for her political wisdom, and Hillary needed Bill for his charisma to be able to win the people over. Bill came across as being likeable; whereas Hillary came across as the evil queen.

Laura Bush was not as outspoken as some first ladies we had. She was married to George W. Bush. She was an educator. She may had helped George W. Bush kicked alcoholism but she wasn’t nothing like her mother-in-law, Barbara Bush. I couldn’t admire her; then again I didn’t care for George W, Bush either.

When the Obamas came on the scene, it was easy to admire but things went south later on with Michelle Obama, causing me to lose respect for her. Some people would joke saying that Michelle wasn’t really a woman, but a man. I wouldn’t say that about her though. Where I lost respect for Michelle Obama was after she started whining about race issue and the reason why we won’t elect a woman or even a colored woman for president. She seems to have so much hatred for America, the country who broke the race barrier and elected the first black president. She should be proud of that but it seems she is so filled with hatred. I cannot respect her anymore. If I could, I would say to her, “We have gone pass this race issues when we elected your husband to be president. It’s not about not wanting a woman or even a colored woman for president, it’s all about being the right woman. Now both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris was not the right woman. I had voted for Elizabeth Dole over George W. Bush.”

When Donald Trump was president his first term, his wife, Melania was still trying to figured out her role as first lady. I have to say by the time of Donald Trump’s second term, she had found her etched in society as a first lady. She is a beautiful classy lady. She reminds me of Jacqueline Kennedy. She had brought back class and elegance to the White House.

Now before I get to Jill Biden, let me mentioned again that one of the things I could admire Nancy Reagan for was the fact she genuinely cared for her husband, Ronald’s health and well-being; especially toward the end of his life when he was diagnosis with Alzheimer. Nancy didn’t force Reagan to go out in public when she saw his mental health failing like Jill Biden did with Joe Biden. If you asked me, I would tell you that Jill Biden is guilty of elderly abuse for what she did to Joe, She did it because she cared more for the power than her own husband. She said that she was a doctor. She’s no more of a doctor than I am the president of the United States. I have no respect for Jill because she had committed elderly abuse and should be locked up for the rest of her life. She was a disgrace to the White House.

Would a good wife would do that to her husband? Wives are to honor and support their husbands. They are not to put their needs above their husbands. They are to support them in sickness and in health. Now Jill Biden didn’t do that at all.

These are only a few first ladies. Who do you admired? Who do you not admired?

We’re in the dogdays of summer right now and in the middle of a heatwave across the world. It’s almost like someone turned the heat on. The heat is on!!

The heat is on! Can you feel it?

It’s getting hot in here! It’s so hot, you can fry eggs on a sidewalk.

Enough about the weather though. Let’s get to the real reason for this blog. Our environmentalist, talks about GLOBAL WARMING, says that the earth is burning up. They want to banned so many things that they think is responsible for Global Warming.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for saving the environment and saving the planet. Even Teddy Roosevelt was an Environmentalist; who happened to have been a Republicans as well.

In Genesis 1:26, “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” We are to be caretaker of this planet. Yet, throughout the ages, we have destroyed this planet with pollutions. We had put chemicals in the food we grown, making us very sick, and unhealthy. By doing that, we have made doctors very rich because they pushed for unnatural drugs into our body. They pushed the Covid vaccine down our throat. They pushed chemotherapy on those suffering with cancer. There have been cures for cancer, but the Big Pharmaceutical and doctors don’t want a cure to be found. If a cure is found, they would lose money.

We were healthier before all the poisonous chemicals were put into the food we grows to eat, or in the water that we drink or the fishes swim in. Growing up on the farm, my step-dad never used these pesticides and unnatural chemicals in the garden or crops. He never believed in it. He used natural fertilizer instead. He would always say, that these pesticides are poison.

Alexandria Ocasio -Cortez made a stupid statement when she said we should banned “cow farts” She said that cow farts was hurting our O-Zones, causing global warming. She was just a city slicker who never lived on a farm. She doesn’t really know where the food we eat comes from. She thinks everything is grown in a lab. I don’t know about you, I wouldn’t want food grown in a lab. I rather have natural grown organic food without chemicals.

We even polluted the water we drink and the fishes lived in. The water is so polluted, they have to put chemicals in the water as they process it so we can drink it. By doing that, the water is worse for us; so we buy bottle water instead. Now when you drink bottle water, the plastic is contaminating that water we drink. I remembered as a kid, we would drink water out of the garden hose, and it was better than water we get now. Those on the Left said that is unhealthy; but we had survived. We had well water on the farm and it was way better than the water we get in Fargo, North Dakota.

Those on the Left wants to banned automobiles like the song, “Joy to the World.” If I was the king of the world, I’d throw away the cars, the bars, and the wars.

Have you seen those electric automobiles? They are just ugly as hell. I prefer the old cars better. They are built to last. Plus, electric cars wouldn’t worked in the cold. The weather can get very cold in the winter. You can’t get as far on the road as you can a gas car. Sure the gas car is responsible for polluting our planet. The state of California is having a hard time in keeping these electric cars running because they don’t have enough power to do so. It could cause a major blackout leaving people without power for days.

They pushed for windmills as an alternative. Now the windmills do more harms to the environment. Any birds that fly near them, their wings get chopped and they instantly killed. The windmills even effects the animals around. Those who has breathing problems cannot be anywhere near these windmills. It makes it very difficult to breathe for them. It takes away the oxygen we need to breathe.

They are destroying our rainforest just so they can build these windmills. Trees gives us oxygen, so we can breathe. Now isn’t it better than what the windmill does to the environment. I think we should destroy all the windmills and plant trees instead. It would be much better for the environment.

When Joe Biden was president, they talked about banning gas stoves and washing machine. I do agree that gas stoves is unhealthy because you have heard how people are getting carbon monoxide poisoning because of poor ventilation. It can also be used for those who wants to kill themselves.

Sure using the microwave is a quick way to prepare a meal as we’re becoming busier our everyday lives; but at the same time, when using the microwave, you’re poisoning the food you eat. There’s nothing like cooking food without a microwave. Just taking the time to actually cook your food the proper way.

Growing up, we never had a dishwasher. We would wash dishes by hands just like they used to washed clothes by hand before my time. It may be quicker to used the dishwasher at home but bad for the environment. In my own apartment, I wouldn’t used the dishwasher. Yet at the same time, it’s hard to get away from not using the dishwasher in a place of work like a restaurant or hospital or school.

The latest thing those on the Left wants to banned is the air conditioners. Sure, I see how it can be bad for the environment, so don’t me wrong. They already limited the used of air conditioner in Europe.

Now during this heatwave we’re going through, they are blaming America because we are still using our air conditioners. There are people suffering and some are even dying because of lack of air conditioner during the heatwave we’re in.

Growing up on the farm, we didn’t have air conditioner and believe me some days, it was very miserable during the summer. We would used fans instead or if it got too bad, just take off for a ride and go to the lake to cool off. My step-dad couldn’t take the air conditioner blowing on him because of his arthritis.

Believe me, if it’s not too hot, I prefer fresh air over the air conditioner. I don’t like things blowing very long on me. It can get to be very cold. If it’s too cold it is just as hard to sleep as it is when it is being too hot. When my feet gets cold, the rest of my body would soon follow. I would rather have the window open than used the air conditioner. When it comes to banning air conditioner, we got to think about our elderly and children who are suffering in the heat. They are dying because of the heat.

Is there a solution to that problem? I don’t know.

I agree we have to do all we can to save our planet. We are put on this planet to take care of it; but man has been destroying it throughout the years.

I just think that those on the Left are getting a little crazy with their thinking. They seems to lack common sense.

So during this HEATWAVE we’re going through, do what you can to stay cool; but at the same time think about the environment as well. Drink plenty of water! Wear proper clothes. If you can, try not to overuse your air conditioner. Use common sense when it comes to using your air conditioner.

This weekend we celebrate the 4th of July, our Independence from England after the Revolution War in 1776. This year we celebrate America’s 250th birthday. I was a child during the 200th birthday of America in 1976, and I’m still here for the party.

Things were different back then than it is today. People were more patriotic than they seems to be today.

PATRIOTIC: showing a deep love, devotion, and sense of attachment to one’s country or homeland.

Back in 1976, when we celebrate America’s 200th birthday, we may have had our problems but nothing like it is today. We just got out of the Vietnam War. President Richard Nixon resigned 2 years earlier on my birthday, Aug. 9, 1965, because of WATERGATE.

WATERGATE: was a political scandal involving President Nixon. On June 17, 1972, operatives associated with Nixon’s 1972 re-election campaign were caught burglarizing and planting listening devices at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington DC. It was considered to be the greatest presidential scandal that tarnished Nixon’s legacy.

Gerald Ford was president in 1976, after replacing Nixon. He never stood a chance against Jimmy Carter, a relatively unknown peanut farmer, who was also the governor of Georgia.

The American people wasn’t happy but they were still patriotic. We got together to celebrate America’s birthday; despite of our disagreement and being upset.

I was 10 going on 11 years old at the time, living in West Fargo. There was pride in the American people. We didn’t care what political party you voted, the color of your skin, or your religion. There wasn’t the talk about being gay, straight, or trans. Trans was never a “hot” it is today. Back then, it was boys and girls, either you were a tomboy or a sissy, depending on your sex or sexual preference.

Even after 9/11 in 2001, America was still united. The American people were upset when the terrorist attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Yet, we were still united. There seems to have been a mini revival during that time, as people flocked back to church to pray for America. People relatively got along politically. They accepted one another opinions and political views.

We even elected our first African American President in 2008 with Obama. That’s a milestone for a country celebrating 250th years. We have overcame a lot as a country, as we had grown to become 50 states and the most powerful country in the world. We have fought to free the slaves during the Civil War, and still got past our differences. We gave blacks and women the rights to vote and own land. We had the Civil Rights movement in the 50’s and 60’s; and still survived. We survived 2 world wars and terrorist attack. Quite a feat!!

America has became prosperous and industrialist. We were introduced to social media during the time of Obama. Was that our downfall? Some say it was, some say it was Obama, and some say it is President Trump.

We should be happy to be celebrating our 250th birthday. Yet, there are some who refused to celebrate. There is a big divide in our country right now. When the USA beats Canada Hockey at the winter Olympics, that was a proud moments for America. Yet, those on the Left couldn’t celebrate that.

We have the world soccer tournaments going on in America, and players from other countries are so proud of America. They are more proud of America than those on the Left. You hear celebrities saying that they want to leave America because of President Trump.

Where is all this hatred coming from, that they can’t celebrate America’s birthday? Where is all this hatred coming from that they want to kill our president instead of accepting the fact and work together for the common goods of the people? There are people who refused to stand for the pledge of allegiance and the American flag.

Let us celebrate America’s 250th birthday like we did it’s 200th. Let us show our patriotism and pride for America. The most patriotic song was, “God Bless the USA,” by Lee Greenwood. We are the United States of America and we should be united and proud to be an American.

I’m proud to be an American and I love America. I just don’t love seeing certain people running down our country and our president.

God Bless America!! Happy Birthday America!! Let us stand united with one another and celebrate this milestone. America has come along way to become the nation we are today. It shouldn’t matter who our president is.

Hanoi Jane was a nickname given to Jane Fonda due to her controversial 1972 visit to North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. She was an outspoken anti-war activist, who traveled to the enemy capital to participated in anti-war radio broadcasts, and was famously photographed sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft.

During the Vietnam War, there was many protest against the war in Vietnam. The protest was mild compared to today, those on the Left protesting against President Trump. It seems that they have gone to the extreme. I was a child during the time of the Vietnam War. I had cousins who fought in the war, and one was killed in 1968. I was a toddler and I never knew him, or knew if he had a chance to see me before he left for Vietnam.

While in high school, I wasn’t taught much about the Vietnam War. The only thing that I was taught was the protest of the war here in America. I don’t know if it was because it was too relatively new or what the reason.

The reason for the Vietnam War was to halt the spread of Communism during the Cold War. It was driven by the “DOMINAL THEORY,” American leaders feared that if one Southeast Asia nation fell to Communism, neighboring countries would inevitably follow, ultimately threatening global U.S. security.

Now Jane Fonda is a daughter of legendary actor Henry Fonda. He was a Conservative Republican; yet both of his kids were bleeding heart Liberals, both Jane and her brother, Peter Fonda. Jane Fonda recently stated that her father taught her the core values of standing up for the underdog, protecting the vulnerable, and fighting for fairness. She noted that witnessing him portray characters with these same values directly inspired her lifelong commitment to activism.

I can understand that from seeing old Henry Fonda’s movies. Henry Fonda wasn’t happy and was highly critical of Jane Fonda’s anti-war protests. Henry Fonda was a proud World War 11 veteran and a deeply patriotic American. When Jane first began her anti-was activism and traveled to North Vietnam in 1972, he was deeply distressed. He dismissed her actions as foolish and considered her behavior frivolous. Henry Fonda’s last movie he made and won an Oscar for was “On Golden Pond.” He co-starred with his daughter, Jane and Katherine Hepburn. You could say that movie was an autobiography of their relationship. There was a lot of similarities with that movie and their real life relationship.

Jane Fonda was married to mogul Ted Turner from December 21, 1991; which lasted for about 10 years. The reason for their divorce was because of his constant infidelity and because she felt she had to hide her authentic self. She claimed to be a born again Christian.

I don’t mean to come across as self-righteous. Only God knows the truth if Jane Fonda had come to accepted the Lord or not. I just wondered if she actually read her Bible and really knows what it says. Some of things that she stands up for, the Bible condemns.

Then again, when you looked at how people protested against the Vietnam War, since it was a war against Communism. It seems that those on the Left, Jane Fonda included are embracing Communism and Socialism. So you see the nickname “Hanoi Jane,” suits Jane Fonda today. They claim to be a party for the Feminist movement; but yet they stand up for countries that’s against giving women freedom. They claim to be a party for the LGBTQIA yet they support the Communist movement who stands against what they believe in. Don’t they truly understand what they are getting into? Have they really thought things through or they just truly hate America?

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate people standing up for what they believe in. This is America and we have that freedom to do. We live in a nation where we are free to disagree or agree.

There are kids out there who have more than one dad. It’s not a culture thing either. I have mentioned about having 2 dads before. Even Jesus Christ had 2 dads, God, his spiritual father and Joseph his earthly dad.

There are kids who wondered, “Who’s Your Daddy?” This saying can have a different meaning, a more sexual meaning; that I won’t go into because of being out of context and inappropriate.

Some women would go out and get pregnant just to get welfare help. The more kids they have, the more money assistance they get. When the father comes around, kids may wonder who’s there daddy.

This is not just a social, economic, and cultural thing though. There are other reasons as well for wondering who’s your daddy. In this blog, I will be talking about actor, Sean Astin.

Now Sean Astin was adopted and raised by actor John Astin from Adam’s Family. He has a brother, MacKenzie Astin. His mother was Patty Duke.

Patty Duke was a child star who was sexually molested and suffered with mental illness. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Her birth name was Anna Marie Duke. Her most famous role was the Helen Keller story; in which she played 2 different characters. She portrayed Helen Keller in the Miracle Worker, Then later on she portrayed the teacher to Melissa Gilbert’s Helen Keller.

Sean Astin became an actor himself in such movies as: The Goonies, Rudy, and The Lord of the Ring.

Even though John Astin adopted Sean and gave him his last name, at one time, it was believed that his father was Dezi Arnez Jr. Now Dezi Arnez Jr is the son of the Queen of comedy, Lucille Ball. She was the most famous red head comedian who married a Cuban immigrant, Dezi Arnez. She was recognized as being the most influential woman of the 20th century. She was accused of being a Communist during the height of the 1950’s.

Lucille Ball didn’t formally accept Sean Astin as her possible grandson. Lucille Ball didn’t get along with Patty Duke, because she disapproved of a highly publicized romance between her teenage son with Patty Duke. Patty Duke was 23, while Dezi Arnez Jr was 17. She saw Patty Duke as a bad influence to her son.

You may wondered how can a grandmother not loved their grandchildren, even in situation like that?

It was later proven that Michael Tell was Sean Astin’s father. He offered to marry Patty Duke to help with the scandal but that marriage only lasted 13 days; so she married John Astin.

In 1986, Patty Duke married Mike Pearce, when Sean was 14 years old. So you can say that Sean Astin had 4 daddies. Now that would be confusing to any kids.

Now Sean Astin is President of the Screen Actor Guild, just like his mother, Patty Duke was after actor Ed Asner.

At least I only had 2 dads; but some kids like Sean Astin would have more than 2 dads. I can feel his pain and imagine what he went through. So you see that it’s not just cultural or financial status for kids being raised not knowing who there daddy is.

I was lucky enough to know who my real father was, even though he left when I was 2 years old. I was lucky enough to have my uncles and older male cousins around growing for male role model influence. My step-dad may not have been my real father but he was more of a dad to me. I was his son in every aspect but biological. I’m proud to be his son and call him daddy. My family life may not have been perfect growing up ; but I’m glad for having a dad who cared for me as his own son.

You can say that Sean Astin and I have this one connection. I’m thankful for my real father in giving me life; but that’s all he did. I’m thankful for the opportunity of getting to know my relative on my real father’s side as.

Just like I’m thankful for my step-dad stepping up and becoming my dad and raising me as his own. I’m grateful for all he had done for me, even the inheritance I had received from him. My real father didn’t leave me anything. Just like Lucille Ball didn’t leave anything to Sean Astin in her will.

To all the dads out there who stepped up to the plate and raised another man’s child, I thank you for taking responsibility. I thanked my step-dad for being my dad.

Happy Father’s Day!!!

The Covid Pandemic was something I don’t want to ever go through again. Yet, one thing about that Pandemic, we got our eyes opened wide in seeing the truth. I don’t know about you, I can see clearly now because of the Pandemic. I can see clearly now, the rain is gone. I can see all the obstacles in my way. Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind. In this blog, I will discuss how the American people had an eye awakening experience because of the Pandemic. I will even discuss how I too can see clearly. I will talked about the mistrust in our government and science as well.

First, Covid was created to somehow helped the Democrats cheat in the election that year, because the only way was to vote was through mail-in ballots. They say that mail-in ballots are safe, but you have heard how in some states people would break in mailboxes and steal ballots. You have to be careful when mailing things because your mail could easily be stolen. Believe me, I had my mail stolen. When I mailed a payment, I learned later that the payment wasn’t gotten; and when I checked with the bank, I learned that someone had stolen that mail and crossed out who it was to go to and put it out to someone else. I also have heard people waiting by the mailbox and if they happened to see who you voted for and didn’t like, they had stolen the ballot to destroy it. In California, Gavin Newsom fixed it that the signature didn’t had to match on the write-in ballot. Now that is illegal!

During the Pandemic, I was able to keep on working and even going out to the actual job. There are some who had lost their job because of Covid shutting everything down. Then there are some who was able to work from home. They can worked in their pajamas.

To this day, I find that there are people who still choose to work from home or not at all. If you apply for Social Security and any assistance, it’s all done online. If you have any questions, you cannot get a hold of anyone to help you. For those who are not computer literate this is very difficult. I don’t know about you; but I prefer talking to a real person over applying online, that way I can get my questions answered and be able to explain things. Fargo Housing is a prime example of applying online and not being able to get a hold of anyone to help. Another example is the Social Security office. When you call the Social Security phone number, you cannot get a hold of anyone. They rather you apply online. You could take your chances like I do and go to the Social Security Office and hope that they are not busy to set up an appointment if need too and then come back.

I find that there are more young people who choose not to get a job and work. They rather play on their smartphone than do actual work. They don’t have the work ethic I grew up with. They are usually looking for quick get rich scheme by scamming people or making post on such sites as TikTok for example. I don’t know about you, but this scares me to think that they will taking care of us in our old age if ever we get in a nursing home or hospital. Our cane will become our weapon. We would have to beat them senseless and knocked the cell phone out of their hands to get them to work. You see some young people on the damn cell phone when they should be working. I know they will probably say that they don’t get paid enough so why bother to actually work. How about this: “NO WORK-NO PAY!”

I don’t know about you but I think this one of the reason there are people rioting against such agency as ICE. Someone is like George Soros is paying them to go out and riot, destroying cities.

I still see people wearing a mask out there and the Covid has been over with for around 5 years. You can take the mask off now. The Pandemic is over with now. Or as some will say, “Halloween is over-take off your mask!”

When schools were shut down and students were doing classes online, parents were able to see what was being taught to their kids. Believe me, they didn’t like it either. When they went to the schoolboard meeting to protest, Joe Biden called them “DOMESTICE TERRORIST.” Teachers were teaching our kids Critical Race Theory and Woke. They were telling the students that they are a pronouns and they have the right to change their sex. That is GENDER MUTATION, and sexual abuse of a minor. Teachers who do that should be fired and register as a sex offender. They don’t deserve a raise. Even though, I graduated from public schools, I’m now in favor of homeschool because of that.

The big reasons why Trump and the Republicans won big in the 2024 election was that fact, and the Left was allowing men in women’s locker room changing with someone’s daughter and playing on women’s team. Men doesn’t need to be in women’s locker room; because it will only put them into temptation. Even Caitlin Jenner doesn’t approve of that. Don’t get me wrong, I do have a young friend, Joey who is a woman trapped in a man’s body. I love and accept him as he is.

Because of Covid Pandemic, there are people like me for example who do not trust science and doctors either. Doctors are only after the money. If they can keep us sick, they are more like to get more money. If I ever get cancer, I will not get chemo because it does more harm to our body than cancer itself. I have seen people who had gotten chemotherapy and they were worse off. Even though, I worked at Sanford, I was forced to get the Covid vaccine; which I called “poison.” I will not comply in getting the poison ever again.

I mean, how can we trust science when people like Dr. Nazi Fauci and Bill Gates were doing sick experiments on orphans. They should be sentenced to die by injection for what they did.

The Democrats refused to look at the autopsy to why Kamala Harris actually lost; because if they did they wouldn’t like what they would find. Because of the Covid Pandemic, the American people can see clearly now, they have their eyes wide open to the truth. The American people can see the truth about the Democrat party and are very upset who they have become. The American people finally realize that they cannot trust our government, especially the Democrats and the Rhino Republicans. They just care about the power over the American people. This is why we need term limits, stop them from getting rich through inside trading as well.

The Democrats will not like this autopsy to why they lost the 2024 election, because they do not want to see the truth. They can’t handle the truth! They may want to shut me down because of this blog, this autopsy report.

The American people must keep their eyes open to see what is going on and where our tax dollars are going to. Our government and especially the Democrats are committing fraud upon fraud just to remain in power. This midterm, may the American people vote to stop the fraud, keep men out of women’s locker room and off women’s team. We must continue fighting for our kids against public schools education system. Don’t allow teachers to mutate our kids in the name of science.

VOTE REPUBLICANS!! Our kids future is at stake.

Coming up in Fargo, North Dakota in June is the City Mayor election. There’s not much good to choose from. After voting, person will feel so dirty; that they will have to take a shower to clean the filth and stench off your body. The candidates for mayors are: Josh Boschee, Michelle Turnberg, Denise Kolpack, Sekou Sirleaf, Dave Piepkorn. Out of these 5 candidates for mayor, Josh Boschee and Dave Piepkorn are the top 2, and both of them in my book is not worthwhile. Piepkorn is Self-righteous and Boschee is a Socialist.

The last time that Fargo had a decent mayor was with Dennis Walaker. He was the mayor of Fargo, North Dakota from from 2006 until his death on Dec. 2, 2014. Before becoming the mayor, he worked for the city of Fargo as an operation manager during the time of the ’97 flood. He was given credit in keeping the city of Fargo from being flooded, unlike Grand Forks. He was the people’s mayor and well like by many. He had common sense not only when he was mayor but when he the operation manager for the city. The people of Fargo knew that he was the right person to be Fargo next mayor.

After his passing, the city of Fargo had a special election for mayor. The 2 candidates were Tim Mahoney and Brad Wimmer; and both didn’t live up to Walaker’s standards. The only reason Mahoney won the first time was because he was deputy mayor under Walaker. You had to plug your nose when you voted for either of them.

The similarity between Mahoney and George Bush Sr was the fact that both Reagan and Walaker was popular enough for them to run on their coattails.

Dave Piepkorn is the Fargo city commissioner . He’s a career politician and comes across as someone who is very self-righteous. He wasn’t taking the city debt seriously. He said that the liberal overspending for years. He knows that there is a homeless problem but doesn’t want to do anything about it. He’s so cheap that when birds fly over his head, they go cheap-cheap. Yet, he is all for building buildings the city doesn’t need.

Josh Boschee is a career politician If elected, he would be the second open gay mayor of Fargo behind Jon Lindgren. I have nothing against the fact that he is gay. It’s the fact that he want to passed some Socialist agenda.

Michelle Turnberg made a statement that the engagement center for the homeless was distasteful for downtown Fargo. Plus, she was a former news reporter for CBS news in Fargo. The way I feel about our news media, they are as untrustworthy as career politician and weatherman.

They want to change the city Fargo into Minneapolis, as they changed Minneapolis into Chicago. Even to the point of electing a Socialist mayor like in a lot of these major cities such as Minneapolis, Chicago, New York City, and Seattle to name just as a few. Those Socialist mayors have destroyed those cities. Those cities are sanctuary city. They have high crime and homelessness. All they want to do is raised taxes. They want to defund the police.

There isn’t much of a choice to vote for in this mayor election. Much like in 2004 Presidential election with George W. Bush and John Kerry. I didn’t felt like voting then, both candidate made me sick to even think of voting for either of them. It was between hell and high water when it came to voting.

What the city of Fargo needs is another good candidate like Walaker to run for mayor. They talked about the city of Fargo being in debt but yet they choose to build things they don’t need. They say that there is a homeless crisis but just want to shove the problems under the rug.

There’s a surprising turn around in the Mayor’s race in Los Angeles. A former reality star, Spencer Pratt is doing better than expected in his bid for mayor. He’s not a career politician and so it goes to show that the American people are fed up with these career politicians who thinks they have all the answers but no real solutions to the problems.

It goes to show that we mustn’t underestimate anyone. Those who are underestimated can be the one who can actually win. People underestimated Donald Trump in 2016, and looked what happened. People in Minnesota underestimated Jesse Ventura to become governor. They put all their money into Humphry on his name alone. They even underestimated Ross Perot in 1992, when he took more votes than expected; even though Bill Clinton won as the lesser of 3 evil.

There’s those minor candidates running for mayor of Fargo, but not much is known about them. They are being quietly shut out by the outspoken ones. It may take a miracle for someone better than Piepkorn and Boschee to be elected mayor of Fargo.

Fargo doesn’t need someone who is self-righteous again like Bruce Furness. Yet at the same time the city doesn’t need Socialist like they have in Minneapolis, Chicago, New York City, and Seattle as mayor either. We all have seen what those cities have become and it isn’t good. I hope that Spencer Pratt can spoil an upset in LA, so they can maybe turn itself around. I also hope that Fargo doesn’t become like those cities.

Fargo is big city with a small town feel. Or as some will say, a small city with a big heart. I don’t want to see Fargo become like Minneapolis or those other cities. How about you? I don’t know if I really want to vote the Fargo Mayors election. Are you with me on that?
