Andre the Giant was a television curiosity for me during my 'wrestling saturday' heyday over at Mortimo Gleaton's house in Perry, SC sitting there with him and his son (my friend) Ricky during high school.

I really enjoyed those times because I thought it all was real I wanted to believe.

Yes there was a time I didn't feel that wrestling was mostly theatrics and that the personalities and athletes were anything other than blood thirsty hand to hand combat fighters to the end.

And yes, when they applied for membership to the actors guild it was just ... heartbreaking for me. I was so naieve.

Andre the Giant was born André René Roussimoff on May 19, 1946. He passed from congestive heart failure in his sleep on January 27, 1993 but during his lifetime he was quite a character to behold.

Standing around seven feet tall from pituitary giantism we loomed above many in his presence. I never got over the theatrics part of it all and lost interested in wrestling so by the time Cyndi Lauper and the rest of the "mostly show business" individuals took over I had been moved on for years.

He was an actor in his own right and I was sad when I learned he had passed away. However, pop culture never having been my forte I was unable to dwell on those things as I was pursuing matters of work and simply had no time outside my 80 hour work week. However, I would always take pause to view some televised tidit about André René Roussimoff, a gentle giant of a man who lived his life to the fullest.
 

As if the current administration couldn't be more incompetent we now have a assistant secretary for health at the US Department of Health and Human Services who is a man who thinks that he is a woman.
 

This trans turdbird will oversee the departmental key public health offices and programs, numerous presidential and secretarial advisory committees, 10 regional health offices across the nation, the Office of the Surgeon General and the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.

Just what we need. Another democrat freak in the mix screwing things up with their leftist libtard preoccupation with deviant behavior and desires to take down The Republic.

Stupid, inept and demented leadership thy name is Joe Biden and the rest of the know nothing, do nothing, election stealing democratic party.

This freak, Richard "Rachel" Levine was hand picked by the democrat buffoons who, as foretold in the Holy Bible, have declared that everything right is wrong and everything wrong is right.

The stupid Biden Administration has elevated this sick bird in the hopes of more acceptance which likely will never come.

This fellow has an XY (male) genotype and presents himself in a female (XX) phenotype and I think the world would be much better off without any of these sick individuals walking among us. Gender dysphoria, that feeling that an XY (male) person is an XX (female) person or that an XX (female) person is an XY (male) person is a mental illness. It just raises the spectre of sexual perversion to me.

I suffer from the mental illness that I should have been provided with a fifteen inch penis. This guy suffers from the mental illness that he is in actuality a woman despite his XY genotype. Neither of us will ever get what we believe should be reality.
This leaves a general population the bulk of whom will never become as idiotic and scientifically incorrect as the democrats and their sexually deviant consituents and I will NEVER use preferred pronouns and those who hazard a requirement may live to regret it immediately.

He has two children who get to know they are the products of conception of a mindfart miscreant daddy who thinks he is a woman and his wife has already divorced him ... go figure.

Where are Ann Coulter's death squads when we REALLY need them.
 

The sitting president whose party stole the election for him had the audacity to present a public message requesting 'unity'.

Excuse me, but I have no 'unity' for a crook and his son and the evil vice president set into office by the same criminal behavior.

While the two traitorous republicrat senators from South Carolina chose abandonment over right and were so quick to jump into the arms of their democrat cohorts the vast majority of the true conservatives aren't surrendering ... and we're not forgetting either.

See if you ever get my vote again Lindsey Graham traitor swine.

The Biden crime family in which all members by and large participated in ill-gotten gains involving China and Russia at the expense of the US taxpayer get to sit around and loot the government even more because the stupid democrats chose to place this thief into office via a stolen election.
 

Firing Squad by Richard9311 on deviantart

Those who claim the evidence isn't there are making excuses for their sorry showing in this mess of a federal election. Where were the checks and balances to prevent such criminal behavior on the part of a criminal organization such as the democratic party.

The Bidens, the Obamas, the Clintons, Shumer, Schiff, Pelosi, and the squad as well as the two so-called republican senators from South Carolina and Katie Couric's stupid ass should have all been gathered up and thrown against a wall for a firing squad and instead we're being told to give this crook and his cronys 'unity'.

Hold your dementia laden breath scumbag. I decline to yield.
 

When I was a kid there was Lt Theo Kojak on an eponymous police show which was widely popular during that time. Such shows didn't really attract me with my penchant for the Astroboy, Batman, Superman, and other super hero and technological fantasy offerings I preferred, but Telly Savalas was certainly a force in which to contend back in those days.

Some of his other exploits as decribed in various fluff pieces of the day were somewhat disconcerting ... but I think that was largely a function of my gender and NO I didn't think his penchant for performing with a sucker in his mouth to be all that.

Born Aristotelis Savalas on January 21, 1922 was an actor and singer whose career spanned four decades. He was totally bald which was uncommon as far as characteristics of actors went in the day. He had a baritone voice which was deep and resonant and this may account for a following of his singing he enjoyed.

He even charted at number 1 in Great Britain with a cover of the Bread song 'IF' in the year 1975.

Still, though he had a wide range of character portrayals over the years, it was Lt Theo Kojak I remember him for, because that was primarily how I encountered his art.

Telly Savalas did a hitch in the army serving from 1941-43 in the 4th Medical Training Regiment during World War II. He was awarded a purple heart medal during that time.

He passed away on January 22, 1994 at age 72 from complications of genitourinary carcinoma.

All in all he deserves a much larger space in my memories and recollections, but his heyday as it were was a most difficult period in my life. Thusly, my memories are much less than they might be otherwise.

Rest in peace.
 

Joe Biden simply cannot be my president, period. This election was stolen for him even if he is the only one who does not know it.

He is a despicable man who has been one of the most divisive politicians of the last half century.

He is a kleptocratic pederast and rapist (forced digital penetration is rape -- ask Tara Reade). In a more just world, he would receive nothing but scorn.

And then I got into Memphis, and some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out of what would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers. Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place, but I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will, and He's allowed me to go up to the mountain, and I've looked over and I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the Promised Land. So I'm happy tonight, I'm not worried about anything, I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

excerpt "I've Been to the Mountaintop"
Martin Luther King, Jr
Memphis, Tennessee, April 3, 1968

I was raised in a religious household. As a child I attended church regularly. It was simply an aspect of my life.

Growing older, I regret that I've lost touch with my religion and God as I once knew Him. Sure, I pray and enact reverence to my Diety ... but that closeness I felt as a child and the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting are not what they once were in my mind.

Then we have the devil spawn democrats who would do away with those fundamental religious freedoms which are one of those basis for the entire Republic.

Today is National Religious Freedom Day. It commemorates the Virginia General Assembly's adoption of Thomas Jefferson's landmark Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom on January 16, 1786.

The statute evolved into the establishment of the First Amendment of the US Constitution and led to freedom of religion for all Americans.

Religious Freedom Day has been officially proclaimed on January 16 in an annual statement by the President of the United States since 1993.

I hope I have the prvilege of seeing James Clyburn, Nancy Pelosi, Chucky Schumer, liars Adam Schiff and Dick Durban and the rest of the heathen democrats cast into the lake of fire with 'the squad' and the vast bulk of the satanic entertainment industry starting with Robert De Niro and Tom Hanks.
