HILLIARD, Ohio: If the barrage of drones had come 75 to 100 years ago, we would have figured it was Martians. But we’ve learned enough about Mars to rule out Martians. Oddly, we don’t know enough about Russia, China or Iran to rule out any of them.

President Biden may be going after the record for pardons that was set almost a hundred years ago. Texas Governor “Ma” Ferguson pardoned more than 3200 convicted criminals during her two-year term. We don’t know who in the White House is drawing up the list of criminals to receive pardons or commutations. Unlike Santa Claus, no one is “checking it twice to find out who’s been naughty or nice.” There’s a few scoundrels on Biden’s list that rank up there with Al Capone and John Dillinger.

If the handsome 26-year-old that shot the insurance company CEO in the back can get convicted before January 20, some love-struck woman in Biden’s administration may wrangle him a pardon. Meanwhile, a few jerks are mad that Daniel Penny is a free man. He is the Good Samaritan who protected New York subway riders from catastrophe by subduing a crazed man. Anyone who admires the murderer and hates Daniel Penny needs an appointment with a psychiatrist, even if their health insurance doesn’t cover it.

Time magazine gave their Person of the Year award to Donald Trump. He was the obvious choice. A few disgruntled Democrat commentators are having fun comparing Trump to Stalin and Hitler who were also honored as “Man of the Year” by Time.

Kamala Harris was on the short list of potential Time honorees. All she had to do to be Time’s Person of the Year was win the election. That’s all. And if she had, those same commentators would be happily comparing her to Taylor Swift, the Person of the Year for 2023. Only difference is that Taylor Swift has made a Billion dollars, while Kamala Harris squandered a Billion.

Will Rogers always bragged about accomplishments by heroes from his home area of Claremore and Oologah, Oklahoma. So, I’ll highlight the star player in the Navy upset of Army, 31-13. Quarterback Blake Horvath is from right here in Hilliard, Ohio. He ran for 204 yards and 2 touchdowns, and threw for 2 more TDs.

Historic quotes by Will Rogers:

“Time (magazine), that’s where all the authentic news comes from.” WA #446, July 12, 1931

“I have always been a reader of the magazine ‘Time’ ever since it started.” WA #604, July 22, 1934
