The morning news this morning reminded me that on December 7th, 1941 (82 years ago) the Empire of Japan launched a sneak attack of 177 airplanes from four aircraft carriers on the American Pacific fleet anchored in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The knowledge of the attack wasn’t new to me. What was news to me is that they no longer teach the history of Pearl Harbor in schools as if the loss of 2300 service personnel and the sacrifices of World War Two is no longer worth remembering with honor. I remember them, honor their memory here, and provide some history for those who were never taught.

No doubt you have noticed, if not experienced, the increase in the crime rate since the George Floyd tragedy and the calls for defunding the police by the liberals who pay for their own private security. Since the Floyd train wreck, an autopsy report has surfaced which proves there were no physical signs of trauma on Floyd's neck to show that the neck hold that policeman Derek Chauvin used on Floyd was fatal. Since this news surfaced, the initial prosecutors have come out to claim they believed there was no case when they first saw it. Still, there was so much public outcry and pressure to prosecute a white police officer for killing a black man that they took the case. We all know the national chaos that erupted. Even the President, Sleepy Joe Biden, surfaced from his obscurity long enough to announce that we must end systematic racism by finding Chauvin guilty. Following Joe's division of this country, BLM took off, and riots ensued, causing billions in property damage. Political careers were launched, making themselves millions. All of this could have been avoided if politicians pushed America's race issues for their own benefit without so much as suggesting solutions.

For those who aren’t baseball fans, Miguel Cabrera (Migi) is retiring from actively playing baseball for the Detroit Tigers this weekend. His last game for this future Hall-of-Famer is Sunday. September 31, 2023, ending a historic twenty-year career, where he has set every hitting record. Fortunately, his last game is not the last the Detroit Tigers will see of Migi since he’s been retained as a special advisor to the President of baseball operations for the Tigers. Hopefully, he can assist as a batting coach as well. For those of us who are diehard Tiger fans, we’ll miss Migi’s big smile and booming bat.

Wildfires typically fall between May and August, but no official season exists. A wildfire may begin in any area at any time. I’m afraid I still have to disagree that the wildfires are the result of a warming climate change, but human activity is causing more wildfires. Humanity is the only animal to use fire, but we have little control over its destructiveness. Humanity, not climate change, is often the cause of a fire’s devastation.

The word Aloha means multiple things in Hawaiian. I’m using it to say goodbye in this instance. Unless you’ve been sleeping beneath a rock during the past month, you’ve undoubtedly heard of the wildfires that struck Maui, killing well over a hundred and destroying the historic whaling town of Lahaina.
Maui has had a special meaning to me and my family. My father first took me there in 1974 as a father-son bonding. It was a miserable bonding trip since my emotionally dead father couldn’t relate to his teenage son and scheduled flower tours instead of ocean sports. My father loved Maui so much that he asked that his ashes be spread in the ocean outside Lahaina. It was a desire I granted in 2017.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been ongoing for almost a year with no sign of a victor or peace talks. President “sleepy” Joe Biden has promised Ukraine all the monetary and military equipment support they need to get the job done without accountability of where all this American tax-payer paid assistance is going in one of the most corrupt nations in the world. I guess this should be expected coming from the most corrupt President in our history, whose family received at least ten million dollars in bribe money from Ukraine. I figure Joe has passed on our tax money to Ukraine either in compensation for the bribe or he’s getting some kickback. Biden hasn’t done anything charitable, and certainly not for needy Americans.

We had our month of celebrating LGBTQ pride with our demented President showing off topless gays on the WH law and hanging the pride rainbow flag between the flag of these United States above the WH on July 4th as if LGBTQ should be celebrated in line with the national heroes of this great nation. The LGBTQ community has its own National Wall of Honor in NYC. Still, the nominees are necessarily of OFLGBTQ fame since they’re not publically known. Now it is time we show and celebrate pride in the United States.
