The choices for free ebooks that I haven’t posted before is becoming rather slim. Just an FYI.

The kneeling of NFL players during the NFL is not a matter of free speech. It is a matter of disrespect and a sign of the times.

Listen to the National Anthem. Consider the great, incredible things this country has done around the world and here at home. Oh – and when I say “this country” I am referring to the people of this country – ALL THE PEOPLE. Yes, this includes the military, leaders, and common citizens that built the greatest country in the world.

Remember – just because you have the ability to kneel – doesn’t mean you should. Just remember that because you have the right to express yourself – doesn’t mean the rest of the country can’t call you an asshole because of it.

REMINDER: I have a series of “Blasts From The Past” scheduled this week as I have some things taking up my time. My regular “From the Desk of…” will likely only be published a couple times.

OK – I have been talking about adding a “Survival & Preparedness Download” section and I have a sampling now available. Look at the top of the screen and find the “DOWNLOADS” section within the navigation menu. Hover your cursor over and a drop-down menu will appear. Currently “Books, Guides, and Manuals” is available. Click on that one. Also under there is a “Wallpaper” page where I’ve made a few computer wallpapers.

This is just a small sampling of the content I have available. Over the next several weeks more downloadable content will be linked to and I’ll let everyone know.

    I’ve been angered by the athletes doing this, but I was completely floored when the home team joined in yesterday. I won’t be supporting them any more.

    I grew up in an amateur stock-car racing family and was raised with the knowledge that you drop everything and stand for the National Anthem. I may not have understood why when I was small, but I knew that it was of the utmost importance. There’s an episode of MASH where a soldier goes missing and is presumed dead after reaching the hospital. They hold a funeral service for him, at which point they learn that he’s the unknown patient wrapped in casts and bandages from head to toe. How did they find out? He got out of bed and stood at attention when he heard his country’s anthem. That’s just what you do.

    If you really want to get their attention, contact the TV sponsors and let them know that you will no longer be purchasing their products if they continue to support this behavior. I believe that they have every right not to stand and give honor to this great country that has afforded them the opportunity to make millions of dollars for playing a game. I also believe that we have the right to not support them. We should also remember that many of the stadiums in which the games are played have been paid for with tax dollars. Perhaps it’s time to remind our local politicians that using OUR monies to support this group is a sure way to not be re-elected.

    No Respect…most are over paid cry babies but a few have what it takes. No more televised sports for me, will spend my days in the woods or with family teaching the youngsters what respect and country means. John have you had contact with Panhandle Rancher lately? I do miss his take on world matters and most of the time his words have calmed and made me reflect.

    Stay Safe All
