Last Tuesday I filled my F250 pickup truck with diesel. Well actually, I didn’t fill it up. The gas pump shut off automatically when it reached $100.00. That was 20 gallons of fuel at $4.99/gallon. I was lucky. The next day, diesel was up to $5.49 at the same station in Marshall, VA.

“The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties. That often happens in war“, said our president about our latest attack on Iran. That often happens in war? THAT OFTEN HAPPENS IN WAR!?!? Could he be more tone deaf?

Writing blogs about Trump is like shooting fish in a barrel. It is too easy. Every day he presents new topics to bust him about. I need to choose wisely, so my blog doesn’t turn into just a Trump report. When he posted a video of the Obamas as apes, that was one bit of racism I couldn’t let go.

You know the Trump Team is in trouble when they go after women. “Fucking Bitch.” That’s what ICE officer Jonathon Ross called Renee Good after he shot and killed her. Three days later, David Marcus of Fox News said “Organized gangs of wine moms using Antifa tactics to harass and impede ICE agents is not civil disobedience. It isn’t even protest. It’s just crime.” On X, conservative talk radio host Erick Erickson called Good an “AWFUL” (Affluent White Female Urban Liberal), adding “progressive whites are turning violent.” And don’t get me started on Hegseth and women in the military.

It has been a long year for many of us, and yet, I have hope. I believe we may have reached a turning point as 2025 ends. A local Fauquier County MAGA man, as MAGA as they come, has turned on Trump. When someone like him calls Trump a “f^cking piece of sh!t”, you know the world is changing.

To me, it is pretty simple. If Hegseth did not give the command to kill everybody on the “drug boats”, then someone else, like Admiral Bradley did. Is Hegseth not guilty of this? Fine, then he should bring charges against Bradley, or whoever gave the order, and potentially, the person who pulled the trigger.

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I was thinking about family dinners and how they have been affected by our President. The President does something better than anyone else in the world. He screws up relationships. I am talking about our personal relationships with each other – with our families, friends, and neighbors. It does not matter whether you are Red or Blue, or somewhere in between. If you are honest with yourself, you know your personal relationships have suffered.

73 year old Veteran Bruce Bair hiked over 280 miles from Durham, NC to Washington DC where he hand-delivered letters to the office of Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC). The reason? Tillis refuses to host Town halls back home in North Carolina. Bruce spent a night in our home along the way. Some think his superpower is his physical stamina. They are wrong. His superpower is that he gives a d@mn.

Did you hear? A Big Parade is coming! It is the 250th anniversary of the United States Army, and coincidentally, a certain someone’s birthday. Let’s celebrate! Ever since Trump saw a military parade in France in 2017, he has wanted one and he is finally getting it.

The line that troubled me was at the end of the quote. “These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest.” It was of course Mr Trump speaking about Stallone, Voight and the racist homophobe Gibson, but it made me think to myself, “Ah yes, of course. The Watching has begun in Hollywood and will soon spread elsewhere.”
