OCTOBER 22, 2025

English returned. Dudley relaxed. Things are back to normal.

Has anyone heard from Dru? Is he still eating pig down in Greenville? Or is he interviewing to be VPI’s new head football coach? He has been very quiet lately.

“You’re a f*****g sellout!  You piece of s**t!”

–An aging white Leftist protestor shouting at a black Trump supporter during last weekend’s “We Hate America” rallies.

Racist?  Absolutely!

Zeta Associates, a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, fired Scott Pogorelc. Who is he? Why he is the racist Lefty who yelled at Lt. Governor Winsome Sears to “go back to Haiti”, and called her a “traitor”, at the James Madison University football game last weekend. Could not have happened to a better fellow.

The Trump Administration is admitting 7,000 Afrikaaners into the U.S. as refugees. The Left is melting down, claiming we do not need more “white” people.

Hillary Clinton is melting down over President Trump’s addition of a ballroom to The White House. She claims he is ruining The White House by eliminating the East Wing. The East Wing is where recent First Ladies have maintained offices. So Hillary already ruined The White House.

Also, every President–every President–in modern times has renovated or altered The White House in some manner. This is not new. Heck, under President Truman, the entire insides of The White House was gutted, and rebuilt.

President Trump told Congressional Democrats to go pound sand. There will be no deal to reopen the federal government. Just do it!

The House Judiciary Committee referred former CIA Director John Brennan to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. Director Brennan probably should not have lied to Congress.

“Not everybody can afford to do that.”

–Senator Bernie Sanders (I. Vt.), responding to a question on why members of Congress should not be paid during a government shutdown.

Yes, Senator Sanders. But neither can the federal workers who are not getting paid now, some while working at their jobs. HYPOCRITE!

MSNBC wanted to show the massive crowds at last weekend’s “We Hate America” rally in Washington, D.C. So, MSNBC aired (without crediting it) file tape from 2017. Accuracy in media.

Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger (D.) finds it “horrifying” that President Trump “made it a crime” for people to enter the United States without permission. Seriously? That has always been the law. Congress made it illegal. Remember Congress? You served in that body. And what did you think the phrase “illegal alien” meant? Abigail Spanberger is too stupid to be Governor of Virginia.

The United States Department of Justice is suing Rhode Island for launching a loan forgiveness program for public school teachers who are not white. Caucasians must pay back their loans.

Indiana University cancelled the print edition of its student newspaper, and fired the student editor, after the editor refused to censor the news as demanded by the administration. What happened to free speech?

The North Carolina legislature voted to redraw Congressional legislative districts, adding another likely Republican district. Oh, that is so sad.

Benjamin Campbell was extradited from this Georgia home back to North Carolina to face criminal charges. It seems that Mr. Campbell was driving down the road in Nantahala Gorge, North Carolina when he noticed a Trump flag flying in front of Mark Thomas’s home. Mr. Campbell stopped, tore the flag down, and began firing a gun at Mr. Thomas and his house. More senseless Leftist violence.

The Texas Secretary of State announced that a preliminary review of some voting rolls revealed almost 3,000 illegal aliens registered as voters. WAIT A MINUTE! Have not the Democrats been telling us for years that this was not happening? It is illegal, say the Democrats, for non-citizens to vote in American elections. Yes. But it is also illegal to sneak across the Southern Border. And under China Joe it happened every day. And many of them are still here. Illegally.

In Portland, Oregon, the “We Hate America” rally quickly evolved into a full scale riot, aimed at breaching security at the ICE Detention Center. Shocking.

Leftist organizations spent more than $294 million to assemble about 700,000 (it was not 7 million, as Leftists claim) septuagenarians and assorted hipster doofus hangers on to protest . . . what? The election of Trump? The detention of criminals and illegal aliens in Portland? Having to work for their welfare benefits? What exactly do these people want? Because they definitely are incapable of articulating their grievances.

In Los Angeles, California, an illegal alien attempted to murder ICE agents by ramming his vehicle into their vehicle. A shoot out resulted in minor injuries to the illegal alien and a U.S. Marshal. In other words, it was a “mostly peaceful” arrest of someone just trying to provide for their family and live a better life.

“D” list actress Kathy Griffin was on display at a “We Hate America” rally in Malibu, California, where her Trump Derangement Syndrome was on full display. Kathy Griffin loudly and proudly proclaimed that Donald Trump and Elon Musk “stole” the 2024 presidential elections, and that Commiela was actually elected President. Sigh. She needs help.

“Climate scientists” are now claiming that whether meat consumption affects the planet and causes “global warming” depends on where you are when you eat it. Oh, please! Where you eat meat matters?

I am a big fan of eating meat at dinner. At the kitchen table. Or a fine steakhouse. And I really do not care if eating a NY strip steak causes “global warming”. In fact, I would welcome “global warming”, particularly in January and February.

President Trump cancelled next week’s meeting with Russian President Putin, after it became clear that Russia would not budge off any of its demands. And so the senseless killing continues.

Colombia’s Leftist President called for the assassination of President Trump. Hmmm. You might want to be careful President Narco-Terrorist. Karma is a b***h.

Jack Nicklaus was awarded $50 million in a defamation suit, where a few gossip mongers falsely claimed that Jack was going to promote the LIV golf tour. Jack Nicklaus is American PGA Tour golf. Any connection with LIV was demonstrably false, and injurious to his stellar professional reputation.

The World Series will feature the Los Angeles Dodgers versus the Toronto Blue Jays. Be a Canada denier like Nathan. Cheer for the Dodgers.

Actress Samantha Eggar, who was wonderful with Rex Harrison in the movie Dr. Doolittle, has died at age 86. R. I. P.

American chess grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky has died at age 29. R. I. P.

The last time I saw Mike Jones was at the Bassett Country Club. He was going to breathe some life into that longtime fixture of the Henry County golfing community. Today, Bassett Country Club is a solar farm. That was Mike’s only failed venture, and it was due to circumstances beyond his control.

Mike got into golf while in the Air Force during the Vietnam War. He learned the game, agronomy, and mechanics. There was not anything connected with golf he could not do, from teaching to playing to mowing greens to fixing equipment, both golf course maintenance equipment and golf clubs. He was a student of the profession.

Mike spent the bulk of his career at Forest Park Country Club. The golf course was a classic 1920s parkland course, and it was challenging and interesting. There was a problem with maintenance, as the golf course budget was low to non-existent. It was an old club. But Mike Jones managed it as best as anyone could, working with Obie Dillard and a handful of teenagers (including me). The grass was mowed, improvements were made, bunkers were maintained immaculately, and it was a championship venue. So what if you needed to put a metal bolt between 2 ignition points in the engine to get the diesel tractor started? It worked. I used that tractor to mow roughs for years.

Mike could not putt a lick, but he could hit the ball a country mile. One day we were playing, and on the second hole, he was about 165 yards from the green in rough so heavy you could not see the bottom of his pant legs or his shoes. He asked me if I thought he could hit the green with a sand wedge, and I told him “no”. Mike cursed at me, called me names, and took a mighty swing with that sand wedge. It flew out of the rough, and sailed far over the green, almost landing in the Smith River, which was about 230 yards away. I calmly reminded him that I told him he could not hit the green with a sand wedge, which brought me more cursing and name calling. He was a hoot.

One Sunday morning, Mike was playing, and missed a short birdie putt on No. 8, a downhill par 3 of about 170 yards. It was an overcast day, and those of us at the pro shop heard Mike yell, and there was a silver flash of light emerging from the green. It went down the hill, in the rough, between holes No. 9 and No. 7. It was Mike’s putter. He had thrown it a good couple hundred yards, further than some members could hit a driver. Mike strode down the hill, picked up his putter, and threw it back towards the 9th tee. It was vintage Mike Jones.

Mike had been an assistant professional at Chatmoss Country Club before going to Forest Park, and one day he received a call from a golfer in desperate need of help. The golfer was going to play in the Chatmoss Invitational in a couple of weeks, and he wanted help on how to read and putt the greens. Mike graciously gave him his best advice: play golf at Chatmoss every day for 1 year, and at the end of that year, you might figure the greens out.

After leaving Forest Park, Mike spent a brief time at Beaver Creek Golf Course, a public venue affectionately (and accurately) known as the “Rock Pile”. While Mike was there, the course had grass in its fairways–lush, well maintained grass–for the first and only time in its existence. Mike had a way with grass.

Mike was gruff, and he was kind. He was profane, and he was mannerdly. He had an infectious smile, a good sense of humor, and common sense, a trait lacking so badly today. No matter the occasion, no matter the season, he wore a golf shirt, sansabelt golf slacks, and white shoes. He looked like 1971 Johnny Miller, but in perpetuity. He drank Miller Lite, played a mean game of gin rummy, and drove a Chevy El Camino. He was one of a kind.

Mike loved his family and friends. If you were his friend, there was no favor he would deny you. He was a fine fellow. It is hard to believe that Mike is gone, and did not live forever. Michael B. Jones has died at age 78. He will be missed by many. R. I. P.
