Just a guy worried about the world we will be leaving to our grandchildren!







Scott Pelley fires back at President Trump during @NYTimes podcast with @LuluGNavarro. Pelley: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country.” Citing his experience covering combat: “I’m not aware that the President of the United States has ever done any of those things for his country.” Pelley, getting emotional: “‘Stupid.’ I can take that. ‘Stiff,’ yeah, probably. ‘Don’t care about the country.’ I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in fox holes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the President of the United States has ever done any of those things for his country....You become a journalist because you love the country....There is no democracy without journalism. It can’t be done. And that is why I am a journalist.”
