Among others, Vince Lombardi said that winning is the only thing. Coach Lombardi was talking about football, a game.

There are those Old Joe has invited accross the the border who really believe that winning is everything and the only thing. They will gladly give their lives to destroy yours. It’s not a game but it’s called terrorism. Moreover, there are no rules. They will use any means to destroy you, me and this country.

Only then will those folks be happy. It makes me wonder if that will also make Old Joe happy.

Yupp! I’d have never thunked it but guess I was.

I’d heard the thinking that they were going to put another bridge over the Mississippi near Memphis and rote bout it earlier. If I rememorize right I suggested 3 maybe 4 places, all wrong, apparently. Shows what I don’t know.

So where will it be? Apparently where the old I55 bridge is now.

That’s not a guess. They will replace the current 4 lane with, likely a 6 lane. Already they are working on the west approach. Incidentally an 8 lane won’t be nough.

Unfortunately, that means us Mississippians will have to wait. It means we will need to go through Memphis to cross the river or go down to Helena.

I wonder just how much it would cost to set up a ferry. Bunch of folks down here south of the stateline willing to go through a lot to avoid one of the most dangerous cities in the country. ( I’m referring to the drivers as well as all that shooting… Almost 1 a day for 2023. )

Number 1 rule for fighting a war, fight to win. Anything else is bad for both sides. Best to get the war over as quickly as reasonably possible. Anything else will result in the maximum loss of lives, especially to the weaker side.

In this day and age people constantly get the three confused. They are all three very much different, you know. Consider the man driving the big 18 wheeler. He possesses power. On the other hand, the little 5ft 4in woman with a badge holding her hand up blowing a whistle. Now that is authority. She receives it from her chain of command and city government.

That truck driver, should he continue, can likely power his way past that police woman but when he does, he is subject to penalties. That is to say, he becomes responsible for any damage, injury and death. Because he intentionally disobeyed the police officer, he should be made to pay for his crime.

Power, authority and responsibility wind their way through corporations, governments and military organizations. However, it is also important that each one of us have our own personal bit of power, authority and responsibility. For a society to really work, we must not abuse power as the dems do. We absolutely must not wrongfully use our authority. When we hurt others, even by accident, we must accept responsibility, unlike Old Joe. I guess his parents teach him about power, authority or certainly responsibility. Every time he misuses power he ignores it. Every time he has authority, he causes grief. Every time he is responsible for the loss of life, he hides in the cellar or quickly point his finger at someone else.
