“Non-Hispanic whites are the minority in California, New Mexico, Hawaii, Maryland, Nevada and Texas.”

I don’t know who it is. (I thought it might be my next-door neighbor’s son but I was wrong.)

A white twenty-something white dude stopped his car in the middle of the street in front of my house around 1:00 AM and took my BLM sign from my yard. You know if I’d done the same with his MAGA sign, he’d be pissed.

She’s nothing but a failed actor in an “unscripted” totally scripted reality TV show. Somehow, she’s convinced herself that she’s the star, but she’s the foolish excuse for the laugh track.

If we on the left don’t keep our own house clean, are we better than the Trumpets?

My kids are 22 and 26, and I don’t think they owe me anything. When we decided to have kids, we made a commitment to them prepare them to make their way in the world to the best of our ability. They didn’t make any commitment to us; they didn’t have any choice in the matter.

“I know it’s an oxymoron, but the problem is, even the stupidest, low-IQ people honestly think they’re smart.”

If only sarcasm were an Olympic sport...

“Teaching our kids to quit when things get tough is not a good thing.”

Ms. Biles is twenty-four. She doesn’t owe her parents anything either.

7. What constitutes dirty enough to take a shower?

Béla Károlyi deseved a conviction and prison for child endangerment for allowing Kerri Strug to vault with an injured ankle. Comparing Ms. Biles to Ms. Strug’s experiences is useful only as an example of how athletes’ health issues should be handled vs. how they have been and often are mishandled.

“If we don’t remember our past, we’re doomed to repeat it!”

I decided on my career after college, when I was 23. She started gymnastics when she was six years old. When between then and now did she decide on a “high-pressure career”? She might not have realized she could do anything else until this week.

They didn’t choose professions, they started their athletics as children, just as mine started soccer. With more talent and focus, they stuck with it, but they never “chose to go into high stress professions.” It just happened to them.

Making sure there is no evidence isn’t (legally) the same as destroying evidence.

My daughter was track and soccer star in high school, but she graduated and walked away from it all. She didn’t even open mail she thought were scholarship offers. She was tired of centering her life around athletics.

I hope she realizes nothing that doesn’t matter to her matters at all.

Simone doesn’t owe you or me anything. If she’s learned to be the master of her own ship, she’s learned the most important lesson.

“When it comes down to it, how many of us have any notion of what it is like to be them?”
