“90% of Americans will always do the right thing.

Why do we let the 10% made up of losers, whiners, freaks, deviants and miscreants (and I’m NOT just talking about Congress!) rule our lives to the extent that they do?”

My tagline is something similar.

If you paid good money for a decent seat at a big-time college basketball game and a guy sat down next to you with a bunch of food and started dripping mustard and cheeto dust all over your clothes, would you be ok with it?

As great of a story as this guy is, he's filthy and was shedding coal dust on everyone around him. If I was sitting next to him and he was getting dust on me, I would have an issue. I don't think that's an outrageous observation to make.

I haven’t a clue, just explained why they get away with it is all..

Then there’s always the one person who has to shit on the feel good story.

There should have been a Kleenex warning on this one.

This story will never get its proper due until there is a Bob Seger song added as a soundtrack.

what a great dad

And I’m sure he is EXHAUSTED but still took his kid to the game and gave mom some relief.

well done sir.

That coal miner is exactly the kind of person the Democrats want to destroy. Take away his livelihood, and put him on the dole. Then make sure he hears nothing but woke propaganda.

My dad worked literally 70 hours a week to build his business

He still found time to support my sports

It’s what most dads did in the 60s

A great story title ..."The Tale of Mollie McGuire".

Mollie McGuire, was once a maiden, in a little coal town they called Forbaden. She worked at a shop, a mile down the road, from the house where lived Joe Baden.

The son of a miner and Joe did follow his father's footsteps into the hollow

into the earth below the mountain

Excellent post. 👍

My great-great grandfather was a mine boss in the coal fields of central Pennsylvania. He was married to an Irish woman, and out of respect for her, the Molly McGuires warned him to quit or be dead. He quit and lived, but his successor did not.

Fox News Channel just reported this story.
