Honor and Freedom?

I have been slowly getting adjusted to my new routine with the U.S. Navy Funeral Honor Guard and finally have a job I am proud of and having the honor to do. Getting used to the procedures and still meeting new people whom are also part of this honorable detail.

As usual Natalia wants to stay home and come straight home to relax and play. Lately, Play-Doh is her favorite and she is getting good at making many things. Also still getting many games to the table with her and by myself when she is not with me. Lately I am getting into the Lord of the Rings LCG game until the many cool games I am looking forward to playing get released. So many cool games slated for release this year.

I do not watch many movies or television at all lately but watched the Deapool movie this past week and I had no real hopes for it and was surprised it kept me watching the whole time. I do wish it was more true to his origins.

Finished reading an alternate history of John F. Kennedy and it was ok for a book and shows us how much different our world could have been. Now moving on back to sci-fi with Forever Free, a sequel to Forever War which I really liked. This book is not as highly praised but I liked the original story. Not many comic books this month. The new Moon Knight and Old Man Logan still are of interest as well as the Dark Knight Master Race series. Punisher got a new series and very disappointed. Now on to Civil War 2 which I have no idea on the back story and probably won't care much. Marvel has gotten far too politically correct and fallen for all this bullshit this government has caused.

Managed to go out for a mountain bike ride last Sunday with "Oh-Oh" Richie and "Ravioli" Riz and as always a great time. Afterwards hooked up with RC for lunch. I hope to go back out on another ride soon with my people.

Rant: This past week the FDA decided to destroy the cigar industry in the name of protecting the children. Seems any cigar blend after 2007 will be banned in a few weeks. This of course puts the real struggle on the retailers and the consumers now will suffer as we see this administration cutting on our freedom and liberties by restricting what we can consume. Of course the manufacturers will possibly go out of business very fast as so many will have no products to sell. Funny of all is minors don't go to a cigar shop and pay $10+ for a cigar. Never even crossed anyone's mind, but I think the FDA saw this as a profitable way for them to make more money by forcing manufacturers to pay outrageous fees to maybe get their blends approved in 1-2 years. The feel they should take money and maybe or maybe not approve blends, it is their call. Hmmm, can we say bribes are welcomed? What is outrageous is the gateway that is the vaping phenomenon. This of course only affects a tiny sector but what if they decide to tell you what and how much to drink? Oh, sorry New York has that.

Don't forget to download the latest No Agenda Show to filter through all the lies and misinformation the mainstream media pumps out there. I can guarantee you will be a much informed, entertained and a happier person for knowing the truth from the Guardians of Reality (John & Adam).
