I believe in peace (unless it’s professional wrestling). Perhaps those on Team Jesus should set the example of loving thy neighbor as thyself. I hold my prayers and thoughts up for the people of Iran, Iraq, Russia, Afghanistan, Palestine, Somalia, China, and other places and people we are told to hate. I also hold my prayers for places that have faced devastation because of wars they didn’t ask for, like Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, and Ukraine. I really don’t think it’s too much to ask to believe the world can be better and that people should win the day.

Something About Birthright Citizenship
I don’t wave the flag much these days, but I will say that the United States Constitution is something that should be taken seriously, and the rule of law matters. Fear mongering and racism should never be the reason to change something like birthright citizenship. America isn’t America without it.
AEW Forbidden Door – Great Global Pro Wrestling
Tonight we have the All Elite Wrestling Forbidden Door pay-per-view event going on. Forbidden Door is an event with AEW, New Japan Pro Wrestling, CMLL out of Mexico, and Stardom from Japan, professional wrestling promotions battling it out for glory, gold, and more. I am hoping for some great graps and fun. Pro wrestling is the sport of kings and queens.
Happy Father’s Day To All
In some parts of the world it’s Father’s Day. I had a great dad and granddad, but I know that not everyone did. Fathers come in many varieties and circumstances. Some moms do double duty as dads as well. Dads of dogs and cats and other creatures like me count too. Thanks to all the dads who are setting an example of making the world a better place.
Juneteenth, A Celebration of Freedom
Today is Juneteenth in the United States. Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865, when enslaved Texans learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It is indeed the day when all slaves were free.
It’s an important holiday to remember a dark part of American history where people owned people. It’s something that should never be repeated. Freedom takes vigilance and practice. I celebrate with those whose ancestors were enslaved longer than they should have been.
Shrimp Taco Tuesday Night
I made shrimp tacos tonight paired with Laura’s Mexican street corn.
The tacos were made with pre-cooked shrimp marinated in Dan-o’s Tac-o seasoning, olive oil, and lime juice. I lightly roasted the shrimp in the oven and put them in warmed street taco shells with cojita cheese and lettuce with a squirt of more lime.
Laura said they were good, and for that I am glad.
