The ugly truth is….life is simple. Do onto others as you’d have done onto you. If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.

I was recently asked what my politics are. I was never really asked that point blank. And most people expect a concrete answer of left or right.

And no I don’t mean climate alarmists who are still…

When we think about Hollywood remakes the first question is sometimes…why ? In the case of the new Road House remake that question is only the beginning.
