I have been shooting my bow for the past month. I'm getting ready. I have a new spot in Wisconsin, 20 acres all to myself with lots of does. I'm almost out of Venison in the freezer.

Will someone please sell me on the virtues of Liberalism/Socialism. I am having trouble understanding why this is the best thing for me and the country.

I was driving home from our softball game today in Forest Park Illinois. I had such a craving for Jean & Judes hot dogs at River Rd and Rand in River Grove IL. I don't crave Superdawg or other hot dogs like I do Jean & Judes. First off the place has not been remodeled in 30 years, there is no whe...

My buddy Ken wrote me and said "You haven't written anything in a while. write something." I have a few topics that have been stewing with me. (Mainly Politics, but I'll save those for another time) This was more of an observation than anything. I am merely conveying the words from someone else. ...

I took the morning off today and went with my father to the 2nd Amendment freedom Rally at The Thompson Center in Chicago today. Anybody else go? I thought it was fantastic.
