  Meme Debunked - America’s So Called Allies - jim Young It’s important to understand the background surrounding this meme to fully appreciate just how ridiculous it is. On February 28, 2026 under Trump’s orders, the U.S. launched an attack on Iran. For the purpose of this meme it’s not necessary to recognize it was an illegal attack ordered without the consent of congress, that the attack was made on false pretenses, who it would really benefit or anything else. It’s just important to know that Trump attacked Iran. L ess than a month later, Trump realized he was in over his head, but of course his foolish pride would not permit him to admit it. Russia has been aiding Iran in the ongoing conflict. Trump didn’t see that coming. Trump thought he and Putin were buddies.  Zelensky, the president of Ukraine offered to help the U.S. with their expertise in drone warfare against Iran. Trump had spent the last year ridiculing and bullying Zelensky so his pride wouldn’t let him go hat-...

 

 

 

Alice Rebecca Maneer Young 1873-1907 - jim Young and Alice (Maneer) Young poem circa 1905-1907 "There is so much bad in the best of us, And so much good in the worst of us. That it hardly becomes any of us, To speak evil of the rest of us.” Feast and your halls are crowded. Fast and the world goes by. Succeed and give will help you live, But no one can help you die. I found this poem in a photo album/scrap book that my paternal grandfather received from Santa in 1905 when he was 7 years old. Judging from some other writings in this book, it appears it was written by his mother. However I do not know if she created it or borrowed it from another source. Although it was undated, it had to have been written between December 1905 and December of 1907 when my grandfather’s mother died. It starts out with a humbling message and ends on kind of a morbid note. Has anyone ever seen this poem before or know anything about its origin? Until I discover otherwise I will credit its creation to...

 

Meme Debunked - Rubio’s Family Fled Communist Cuba - jim Young Rubio's family did not flee communism in Cuba. They left Cuba in 1956 when it was still a capitalist country under the dictatorship of Batista who was largely supported by the U.S.  Following Batista’s coup in 1952, the U.S. Government immediately recognized the new Cuban government under the dictatorship of Batista supplying Cuba with weapons, military, financial and diplomatic support. They trained the Cuban police force on how to suppress the opposition.  The U.S. also turned a blind eye to Batista's alliance with the Mafia including gangsters such as Meyer Lansky who controlled Havana's hotels, gambling and prostitution. THAT was the Capitalist Government the Rubio's fled. They came to the U.S. as immigrants but not as refugees. By Marco Rubio's own admission his parents would not likely be permitted entry into the U.S. today under Rubio’s own immigration policies.  As landed immigrants the Rubio...

  Trains, Planes And Automobiles - While You Wait - jim Young “Wilbur Force: I'd almost rather go to the dentist than anywhere, wouldn't you?  Seymour: Yeah.  Wilbur Force: Now, no novocaine. It dulls the senses.” -  Charles B. Griffith With the possible exception of Wilbur Force played by Jack Nicholson in the 1960 version of “Little Shop Of Horrors” and Drew Barrymore who once confessed to Johnny Carson that the crush she had on her dentist was just ONE of the reasons she likes to go to the dentist, nobody but nobody enjoys going to the dentist. Seriously. Have you or anyone you know ever looked forward to a visit to the Dentist’s office? How many times have I laid in the dentist chair with my mouth uncomfortably open, thinking “Why am I paying someone to inflict such agony on me?” Dynamic Dentistry goes to great lengths to dull that pain as much as possible and it doesn’t involve laughing gas or sedation. As I was accompanying my wife, who had an appointment for ...

 

 

 

 

- jim Young "I'll be your baby tonight." - Bob Dylan Trump supporter Kid Rock was recently called to task for inappropriate lyrics from his song “Cool, Daddy Cool.”   The message is pretty clear. “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage, see, Some say that’s statutory but I say it’s mandatory.” I don’t think there’s much room for interpretation there. The context is pretty clear. Of course MAGA, being as unimaginative as they are, were quick to follow up with one of their favourite “oh yeah, what about…” deflections to accuse Bruce Springsteen of inappropriate lyrics from his song “I’m On Fire”. “Hey, little girl, is your daddy home? Did he go away and leave you all alone? I’ve got a bad desire, Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire.” Keep in mind, the complaints about this last song are coming from the same group of people that objected to radio stations banning, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”. Regardless of that there’s a big difference between “Cool, Daddy Cool” and “I’m On Fir...
