THE ONCOLOGIST'S PET WAS NOT EXACTLY ENCOURAGING

By Howie Katz

 

 

While I was in the hospital, a CAT scan showed that there was a mass between my heart and my trachea. A biopsy revealed that the mass was lymphoma. 

My followup visit to the oncologist was not exactly encouraging when I spotted his pet, a vulture.

THURSDAY WAS A SAD DAY ..... A GREAT AMERICAN DIED

86-yeqr-old Chuck Norrie dies in Hawaii

Chuck Norris as Walker, Texas Ranger

 

Chuck's family announced that he died in Hawaii on Thursday morning, a truly sad day.

Chuck was not only a martial arts champion and long-time actor, but he was also a great Texan and American. His work with youths to keep drugs out of America in his Kickstart Kids program will always be gratefully remembered.

My late wife and I e looked forward to watching him in TV's Walker, Texas Ranger and we enjoyed every episode. I also enjoyed his movies, especially The Delta Force with him and Lee Marvin.

To paraphrase Kinky Friedman's "They Ain't making Jews like Jesus anymore": They ain't making them like Chuck Norris anymore.

Rest in peace Chuck.  

I CAME ACROSS THIS HILARIOUS CARTOON OF 2025'S 'ANTISEMITE OF THE YEAR'

By Howie Katz 

 

 

StopAntisemitism is an American pro-Israel watchdog organization. The group named Tucker Carlson its “Antisemite of the Year” for 2025, an award he truly deserves.

I just came across this hilarious cartoon of Carlson and couldn't resist posting it on BGB. My congratulations to a very talented cartoonist, whoever he/she is. 

56% OF AMERICANS OPPOSE THE WAR ON IRAN, 44% FAVOR IT

By Howie Katz

 

 

An NPR-Marist poll reveals that the war on Iran is a partisan issue.

 

84% of Republicans are in favor of the war.

 

86% of Democrats oppose the war.

 

61% of independents oppose the war.

 

70% of Republicans consider Iran to be a major threat to the United States. 

 

27% of Democrats do not consider Iran to be a threat.

 

That overall result found that 56% of Americans oppose the war and 44% are in favor of it. 

 

I seriously doubt that 84% of Republicans actually favor the war. This is Trump's war, and what the Republicans really support is President Trump, not necessarily the war. 

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER NICARAGUA?

By Howie Katz

 

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and his wife former Vice President Rosario Murillo who was elected Co-President in 2025

 

 

In response to my post NO BIG DEAL BECAUSE ECUADOR AIN'T MEXICO (March 5, 2026) an Anon commented, "Does anyone remember Nicaragua?"

 

Yeah, I remember Nicaragua and President Reagan's attempt to overthrow the Sandinistas by using Lt. Col. Oliver North. The Sandinistas prevailed and their leader Daniel Ortega has been President since 2007. And in 2025 his wife Rosario Murillo, who had been Vice President, was elected Co-President.

 

A note to President Trump: Every time we have attempted regime change we have been left with egg on our face.

When I arrived for my physical therapy session at Hope Physical Therapy and Aquatics today, Chris Emrich and her staff greeted me with balloons and cupcakes. What a great birthday surprise from some wonderful folks.

To think that this old fart is still vertical after 36,136 days.

And for you readers that live in or near League City, if you ever need any physical therapy, you 'll be wise to make Hope your choice.
