Supporting Canada and Ukraine Because It’s The Human Thing To Do

February 19, 2025 Tony Burgess 1 Comment

I am a fan of freedom and truth. Right now, America’s government isn’t doing Canada and Ukraine right. Canada is under threat of unnecessary American tariffs that will do great harm to their people. Ukraine is also at risk of losing land in a peace deal they don’t have a say in at the moment. I will support both countries in their strife and chaos brought about by American aggression. The USA is coming across as a villain right now. Trump fancies himself as a king, and that is the scary part, and no one in his party is standing up to him to say he is wrong. It’s going to be a challenging four years for a lot of people in this country and around the world.

The Martian is The Movie Of The Moment

February 18, 2025 Tony Burgess Leave a comment

If you are looking for a good comfort movie, I recommend “The Martian” It’s a terrific film starring Matt Damon. We are living in some dreary times, and this movie is about a man surviving being stranded on Mars alone. There are many good things about “The Martian” including Damon’s performance, themes of survival against impossible odds, hope and teamwork from unlikely sources. Check it out when you can for a good diversion from what is going on in reality.

A Sunday Reflection

Jesus cared about the poor, the sick, the needy, the downtrodden and the worker. It’s a love thy neighbor sort of thing. I would also think it’s also a matter of happiness too. Any political system that does not emulate that these days is not one worth being a part of.

The Season one cast of Saturday Night Live

Saturday Night Live is a venerable television institution. This long-running sketch comedy and musical series has been on American TV sets via the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) for fifty years. The first episode featured comedian George Carlin, Billy Preston and Janis Ian.

SNL launched the careers of John Belushi, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtain, Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Jason Sudeikis, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, Keenan Thompson, Will Ferrell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Molly Shannon, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and many many more. At its core, it is a variety show that satires what is going on in the culture.

It is a show that always makes you laugh at first and then makes you think. Each episode has a host and a musical guest. The music is as important as the skits if you ask me. Tonight, the show will celebrate its anniversary, looking back at all the talented people and crazy stuff they have done all these fifty years. Congratulations, Lorne Michaels and company, for your amazing achievement.
