ICE, Protesting and Responsibilities

January 28, 2026- Wednesday

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is the flashpoint during the past week in the U.S. ICE has been in Minneapolis for the last couple of weeks and many people in Minneapolis have protested what ICE is doing and they have directly interfered with ICE and now two protesters are dead. Both protesters were shot, one driving a car through ICE agents and one scuffling with ICE agents while he had a gun in his coat. These people definitely have the right to protest whatever they want. ICE is also required by law to remove people from the U.S. who are here illegally. That is millions of people. 

We have processes in place that allow people to come into the U.S. legally. Some do not like the process, but it is in place to control who comes in and to know who these people are. We have had a number of U.S. citizens who have been killed or raped by illegal aliens which has caused many to be very concerned about allowing these people in our country. 

People need to decide what risk they are willing to take when interfering with law enforcement. People can be hurt, arrested, and now we see they can be killed. ICE agents also need to be extremely careful when being engaged by protesters. U.S. citizens should not be at risk while protesting. These people also have the responsible to not interfering with law enforcement. 

This has become a difficult situation because many people believe a person should not abide by a law they do not like. What other laws do they think are okay to break? This is why we have the strife we have right now. The leaders we have on both sides of the issue are fueling the fires of discord and are just as responsible as the ICE agents or the protesters. 

We really need new leaders who know how to negotiate good solutions. The bigger problem is that these people are in short supply and hiding somewhere. They’re hiding because it is hard to be in the public eye when there is a news media working to degrade every person who does not believe the way they do. 

The news media continues to run this country and most of the time, it is irresponsible.

College Football Playoffs, A Sham

December 19, 2025- Friday The college football 2025-26 playoffs begin today with Alabama Crimson Tide playing the University of Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Oklahoma. This should be a really good college football game between history laden teams.  The college football playoffs are a sham. At the end of the playoffs we still will not know if the best team actually won the playoffs or not. That is because the University of Notre Dame was omitted from the playoffs.  The two losses on the Fighting Irish ledger, one to Miami and one to Texas A&M by a combined total of 4 points, forced the Fighting Irish to the sidelines for the because they lost by 3 points to Miami in the first game of the season.  For the last five weeks of the regular season, Notre Dame stayed ahead of Miami in the college football playoff rankings because Miami lost to lesser teams, SMU and Louisville.  In the last week, the Atlantic Coast Conference realized the playoffs were going to happen witho...

Dying in Chicago Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

September 6, 2025- Saturday I haven’t had much to say lately about the news and that's probably good. The constant news cycle has worn me out. I still listen to the news so I will know what is happening, but I have cut out much of the news because of all the negativity that gets repeated several times per hour. We now have word that seven people were killed in Chicago over the Labor Day weekend. Over thirty people were shot or injured in the shootings. The weekly shootings and killing in Chicago, Illinois has been constant for the last several years. It is debatable as to who all is doing the shooting, but the fact is, the shooting continues on a weekly basis in Chicago and nothing the political and law enforcement leaders do in Chicago changes anything. Now President Donald Trump wants to address the violence as he did in Washington, D.C. and send in the National Guard into Chicago in an attempt to stop the killing. T he politic al leaders In Illinois and Chicago do not want t...

Maintenance Means Learning and Sharing

September 2025  Topic of the Day- Life. Like Architecture, is a ver. If designed well, it works. It’s beautiful, and it needs no directions. It needs maintenance. How does one effectively maintain well in life? Some people are very goal oriented and seem to be obsessed with self-improvement. I think a lot of maintaining our lives is actually improving ourselves as we go through life. Maintenance in life is improving and moving forward, mostly through education.   One concept I was not taught in school is the concept of lifelong learning. To give ourselves, we need to continue to learn. There are those who choose to simply exist. These people are selfish. They are selfish because they are depriving others around them of all they can be by not maintaining themselves. We must know by growing ourselves, we are actually helping others with all the positive s in our own lives that we share with others.   Our personal maintenance must include sharing what we know...
