Retired television producer, writer, editor. I love storytelling. Each image captures a unique moment and tells a story.
Coming in 2026, my new thriller - The Pallbearer. A great read with a surprise ending.

As 2025 comes to an end, I hope you will consider purchasing my thriller, Cahill’s Journal. Books.by/jack-kelly or on Amazon (just type Cahill’s Journal into the books section).

This just in: The Justice Department’s leadership asked career prosecutors in Florida Tuesday to volunteer over the “next several days” to help redact the Epstein files.

Wait. Wait. Didn’t over 1,000 FBI agents go through all these documents months ago? So what happened? Job not done?

I wish news outlets would not label the Affordable Care Act as “ObamaCare.” That phrase is loaded with political bias. ACA is the name of this beneficial health care legislation. Calling it Obamacare is shorthand for the Republican effort to deny Americans an affordable healthcare alternative.

Thank you, President Trump for making this Christmas the worst Christmas in my 77 years on this earth. Your complete lack of humanity makes my soul ache.

Why would anyone think Trump deserves the Peace Prize. The man openly calls for the prosecution of his opponents. He sends armed troops to American cities. He is salivating by the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act. He divides rather than brings people together.

Portland Oregon is a war zone according to our commander-in-chief. The picture on the left is Gaza. This Portland today. Which looks like a war zone? American cities and communities are not ravaged by war.

Today 300 armed, masked agents captured a residential building in Chicago to arrest 36 possible illegals of whom only 6 were - maybe - guilty of drug crimes. Do none of you 300 American citizens have second thoughts about what you did? Do you really believe that this is normal in America?

I am so tired of everyone bending a knee to Trump. Democrats, stand up. Fight this bastard. He is a bully and I don’t understand why everyone is bending their knee to him. Why are Republicans - who used to be the party of the real America - just caving? America is the light of the world!!

So the White House will become the Roman Forum where gladiators fight to the delight of the Emperor. How long before “Rome” burns while the King plays his fiddle?
UFC confirms Trump's plan to host a fight at White House in 2026
Trump said he wants the card to be held in front of more than 20,000 people as part of a celebration honoring America’s 250th birthday on July 4, 2026.

The Blueprint for believers in Jesus is the Eight Beatitudes. Pope Leo says, “those who follow Jesus must tread the path of the beatitudes, where poverty of spirit, meekness, mercy, hunger and thirst for justice, and peace-making are often met with opposition and even persecution."
Archbishops must promote unity, seek new ways to share Gospel, pope says
"The history of Peter and Paul shows us that the communion to which the Lord calls us is a unison of voices and personalities that does not eliminate anyone's freedom," Leo said.

When I see any photo of Rubio now, all I see is someone whose eyes are dead. He knows he has sold his soul to the devil. He is a dead man walking.
