Have you ever wondered what you’d do if you were King or Queen for a day? I know it’s not possible, but just imagine …
If I had the power, I’d twitch my nose like Samantha Stephens on “Bewitched” and automatically mute cellphones for people who continue conversations while checking out in the grocery store or a restaurant. The other person deserves your attention for 30 seconds.
Anyone driving slow in the left lane of a four-lane highway should get a $100 ticket on the first offense, a $250 ticket on the second offense and a bus pass on the third offense.
It should be an NFL rule there should be no Taylor Swift mentions or TV views during any broadcasts.
Friday night has always been sacred for high school football. College football should never be played on Fridays, and it should never be on television.
Anyone who doesn’t pick up after their dog during a walk should have their nose rubbed in the dog’s mess.
Everyone needs a break from politics and the Kelce brothers, so why not make Sundays a day of rest from all political and Travis and Jason Kelce brother commercials, especially during football season.
Before you get your knickers in a knot, this abortion comment isn’t going where you think. When a couple finds out they’re going to have a baby – yes, it takes two – the mother only decides whether to carry it to term. If the couple is unmarried and she decides to have the baby, the man has four options – if they are still a couple, he can help support the woman and his child as a family; if they aren’t a family, he can support the child, he can be forced to pay child support or he can walk away and be a deadbeat dad. I have another solution: why not offer the father the option of custody if the mother doesn’t want the child instead of abortion? If the father had a 50% role in creating the child and a 50% legal responsibility in caring for the child, shouldn’t he have a voice in that child’s future? I believe it’s another option that lessens the divide in the abortion debate.
If I were King or Queen, televisions would automatically go into mute mode when crackpots like Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican, talk.
I would change our national anthem to “America.” If that doesn’t happen, I would make it a rule that the “Star-Spangled Banner” must be played in less than 85 seconds. It’s not a love song, and it’s not supposed to be sung as a ballad.
Let’s get back on the roadway for proposed rules. First, I’d make it illegal for anyone not to use their blinker when making a turn, punishable by losing their driving privileges for one week. That little lever on the left of the steering wheel is called a blinker. Use it. And anyone caught flipping a cigarette butt out of a car window and onto a roadway should be required to put on a dayglow vest and pick up trash on the highway for eight hours. Our streets aren’t an ashtray.
Finally, transferring has gotten out of control in college sports. Dillon Gabriel started his football career at Central Florida. He announced he was transferring to UCLA and accepting NIL money. A day later, he changed his mind and said he was getting more NIL money from Oklahoma. Two years later, he's starting forOregon. Building a college program is difficult when players don’t stay long enough to unpack their bags.
