Earlier this month, Pippin learned that his liquor license was in jeopardy because he hadn't met the 30 percent food sales requirement that was put in place by Reno County voters 36 years ago, in 1986.

Paradise in the Pines008: Bernie Carbo, Field Manager, Sandhills Bogeys, Baseball Legend, InstructorBernie Carbo is a hero in Boston Red Sox lore. His three-run home run in Game 6 of the famous 1975 World Series against the Big Red Machine Cincinnati Reds is one of the most memorable moments in MLB history. In 1965, Carbo was a first round draft pick of the Cincinanti Reds and was even picked ahead of Johnny Bench, an eventual Hall-of-Fame player and arguably the best catcher in baseball history. But, while Carbo enjoyed fame, his life had a dark side. An admitted user of drugs (he admits being high during the entire 1975 World Series), he nearly committed suicide, but...2022-04-1234 min

Everyone has been talking about how slippery that slope may turn out to be, but there are a few other questions that I have been asking. Why stop at Remington? Who else can we hold accountable for the actions of a disturbed, murderous animal? (I will not name him or even acknowledge his humanity.) Also, the plaintiffs claim that part of the marketing done on that rifle links manhood with violent murderers, and I take exception to that. We...2022-02-251h 36GET OFF MY LAWN!

Podcast#93: Moral High Ground and Constitutional Carry LawsRecently a Constitutional Carry bill was heard in committee in the Nebraska Legislature, one of 7 states to introduce such legislation in 2022 (NE, IN, WI, OH, AL, GA, FL). We all know the reasons the proponents of such legislation support it, but what about the OPPONENTS? What are their reasons? Are these people just evil villains, or do they believe that THEY have the moral high ground, just as we do?
Let's talk a little about Constitutional Carry and then discuss how BOTH sides of the debate think they are not only right, but MORALLY right.

I'm talking about an AR-15 dust cover with the words, "You're F*cked"; a bumper sticker saying, "Keep honking, I'm reloading!"; or a sign by the doorbell that reads, "We don't dial 911."

Instead of listing resolutions that most likely won't last as long as the New Year's Eve party hangover, let's take the year out with a discussion of what changes to the laws governing our freedoms we think we are likely to see in 2022, and also the changes that we hope and wish...2022-01-071h 42GET OFF MY LAWN!

It seems to be a saying dating at least as far back as our grandparents' day. But just how much, exactly, has such a sentiment COST our society?
I think as a whole, our society has lost the ability to have a meaningful conversation regarding politics and religion. They were treated as a social "third rail" for so long, that now in 2021, very few are able to have a true DISCUSSION. Lately politics have been a HOTLY debated topic, but without the ability to DISCUSS, m...2021-12-241h 38GET OFF MY LAWN!

Let's discuss what WOULD keep people safe, such as governing all motor vehicles at 30mph, or repealing the 4th Amendment and allowing "Stop & Frisk" across the land.

What you do NOT have are rights endowed upon you because you belong to a GROUP. You don't get special rights under the Constitution due to your race, skin color, nation of birth, sexual orientation, family status, or any other reason. Yet, many groups are trying to claim "rights" for their entire group, somehow believing that their status grants them permissions that others do not have.
