Can You Rock Through This Classic Rock Lyrics Quiz? Trump Issues Free Gift to All Supporters, (Liberals Are Demanding It Be Banned!) Celebrities Who Can’t Accept Their Fame Expired Last week at the Olympics, as everybody on social media knows, a female gymnast named Simone Biles removed herself from competition. I had never heard of her before this. I follow baseball and football, and sometimes a little golf or something else, but not the Olympics and not women’s sports in general. The latter doesn’t interest me. I find the frequent expressions of feminism unpleasant, and since the women’s performances are less impressive than those of the best high school boys, I don’t think I’m missing much. As for the Olympics—their old appeal for me was the patriotism of amateurs, but that’s mostly gone.
But why should what a gymnast does in Tokyo occupy more than a flicker of my attention, unless I am an aficionado of gymnastics? I presume that she has reasons for what she did. Meanwhile, I have a couple of thousand books I haven’t gotten around to reading, just in my own house. I have a piano I don’t play nearly as often as I once did. I don’t know the names of most of my neighbors, and they don’t know mine, because it’s rare that anybody is outdoors doing things—mowing the lawn, digging gardens, planting flowers, yes, but playing games, never.
Here I am writing for what have become the newspapers of our time, but without the cheerful paperboy flinging the rolled-up Middletown Monitor into the rosebush, without the sports section and the comics that make the paper worth the expense, and without the local news, the want ads, and the obituaries. Magazines on the web have become necessities, and they are far more varied in the points of view to which they give expression than are those rickety and monotonous cripples, the old dailies. What is not necessary is to permit the mass phenomena, especially the political, to eat up more and more of our time and our minds. I say so as a conservative.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
