The Cuban missile crisis was an example of how to handle the Russians. Sanctions are a joke. We use to have Presidents like JFK and Reagan who knew how to "draw a line in the sand" and enforce it.The citizens of Ukraine deserve military help from NATO...now.#PutinIsaWarCriminal

Edward McAlanis had a cushy job in insurance. He made good money. Then he decided to follow Trump. Excitedly, he joined the insurrection on January 6. Even had his picture taken to memorialize the day. Now, he's a part time pizza driver. Stupidity has consequences.#Jan6th

Great comeback win by Wright State b-ballers over Oakland last night!!! They're still within striking distance of the Horizon League Championship. The team has come a long way from a rocky start. Thanks coach Nagy!#RaiderPride

Just think where we would likely be if the Ukraine crisis had occurred while Trump was in office!! The green light would be given to Putin and the less than smart President would argue that Russia has a right to take back what was once theirs.#RussiaInvadedUkraine

Today is an anniversary. 17 beings were gunned down at Parkland school 4 years ago. "Pure evil" at work. Innocent young children had their lives snuffed out by a coward with a gun! And our leaders have done nothing. COWARDS!#kids

Congratulations to the Cincinnati Bengals for a great season! Can you please work on protecting the quarterback next year? Poor "Joe Cool" was an his back more than a Muhammed Ali opponent!#Bengals #JoeBurrow

My faith that America is inching her way back to normalcy was boosted today.
I was able to buy two boxes of Girl Scout cookies (Trefoils) from two very nice young ladies who were sitting outside of the local grocery store. One small step.....#girlscoutcookies

The R&R Hall of Fame has once again snubbed Chubby Checker from induction. The man only invented the most popular dance craze in music history....the Twist. It reached no. 1 on the charts two consecutive years and made a lot of money for knee surgeons.#Let'sTwistAgain

Occasionally (less these days) a professional athlete comes along who is a true model for young kids. That's Tom Brady. A superb football player (maybe the best in my lifetime) and all around nice guy. He's a pro's pro! Retirement while healthy is well earned.#ThankYouTom

Democracy is fragile. It won't survive if America does nothing to insure that survival. Hate groups and politically charged, gun toting extremists are getting organized, and are no longer in hiding. They're loud, proud and out of the shadows. There's danger ahead.#Democracy

Always been a Browns fan, but awfully proud of the Bengals tonight.
Zac Taylor, heck of a coach. Joe Burrow, poise personified. Evan "Money" McPherson has ice in his veins. Hard to believe...Bengals in the Super Bowl!!!#￦ho dey

Congratulations to David Ortiz....this year's only inductee to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Big Papi, as he was known in Boston, was the Red Sox first baseman and was infamous for his dramatic, towering home runs and his gregarious and loved personality. Well deserved.#BigPapi

A real quandry for the Boston heart transplant patient who was removed from the wait list because he refuses vaccination. He has a right to his beliefs. But so do the doctors and nurses attending him. Society is depending on their welfare. They must be protected.#Medical

A post on Facebook has garnered a record quarter million "likes." Political posts were outnumbered by (wait for it)...DOGS!! A new Texas law went into effect that bans the chaining/tethering of dogs outside and requires adequate water and food to be accessible. Ohio???#Texasdogs

[Paul R. Leonard @w001prl]

Geaux Jeaux!! The pride and joy of the 2nd best city in the Buckeye state (Athens, Ohio) has lead the Bengals to the divisional championship game.
Amazing what a class quarterback and coach can do. Hear that Browns?#JoeCool

Today would have been Betty White's 100th birthday. She was an icon. To those of us who are committed to animal protection, she's a heroine. By making a contribution to your favorite animal welfare organization you can keep her mission alive.#BettyWhiteDay

If this were the 60's, and state legislators were systematically making it harder/impossible for African Americans and students to vote, we would be in the streets.... protesting. Democracy is under an organized attack. Where is the outrage??#VotingRightsMatter

[Paul R. Leonard @w001prl]

The Cal. Gov. reversed his own parole board's recommendation to grant parole to Sirhan Sirhan, Bobby Kennedy's assassin. The Board thought he was now harmless. That's not the issue! He robbed a generation of the most compassionate man to seek the presidency. That's the issue!#RFK

RIP Ronnie Spector. Lead singe in the 1960s girl group, the Ronettes.
"Be My Baby" was one of the 60's biggest sellers. "We were not afraid to be hot. That was our gimmick," she wrote in her memoir. One of the Rock and Roll era's best songs!#1960s

Loved Dr. Fauchi's response when unknown Kansas Senator Roger Marshall accused him of hiding income sources. Fauchi whipped out his federal financial disclosute forms which PUBLICLY reveal all sources. Marshall went silent. Fauchi uttered, "what a moron!"#DrFauchi
