A Little Help, Please?
I never ask for anything .. One day the Rant may be paid subscription.. but.. for now.. and for 23 years.. it’s been free .. and I’ve asked for nothing… Until now..
Here Goes…
If I ever get arrested… I need some of you to contact the authorities.. and explain why my browser history goes, “List of National Injunctions by District Courts” … “Current Tariff list USA and Canada” .. “Did Jenny McCarthy Ever do Porn films” .. “Hot Pics of Jessica Alba” .. “Smith-Mundt Act” .. “Hailey Bieber suing trolls” ….
You have to tell them WHY!!! .. I am NOT a stalker .. I am not a serial killer.. I’m a grumpy Rant Writer that likes pretty girls and drinks too much wine ..
(I wrote that bit after scrolling back up my search history to double check some data… I looked at what I was searching and thought.. Oh my GOD .. If anyone looks at this…. )
Anyways…
TO THE NEWS…
FIRST DAY OF SPRING (Yesterday… I missed it.. But.. Still good that winter is over !!)
ENGLAND: A giant fire at an electrical substation adjacent to London’s Heathrow Airport has shut flights down. Over 1,00 flights and 100,000 people affected… So, if you’re flying into/out of or through Heathrow .. get a drink and a book and chill.. You ain’t going ANYWHERE for a while ..

NORTH DAKOTA: Curtains for Greenpeace? ..
Greenpeace will have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to the company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline (Energy Transfer), after a North Dakota jury found the environmental group liable for defamation and trespassing in connection with protests against the project nearly a decade ago.
Greenpeace USA complains they can’t pay it and it will “ruin them and their over 50 years of environmental activism” .. Greenpeace International argued they should not be liable because they weren’t actively involved and are headquartered outside the USA. The Jury said “F-YOU” and allocated $131 million of the $660 million award to them.. Although, it’s unclear how to enforce collection..
Energy Transfer said in a statement that the jury’s decision was “a win for all law-abiding Americans who understand the difference between the right to free speech and breaking the law.”
Good Riddance to the ignorant, bullying, “ruined by woke”, Greenpeace. As one of the founders, Patrick Moore (who quit the organization years ago) said.. “Greenpeace was hijacked by the political left when they realized there was money and power in the environmental movement” BINGO !!
We need serious, educated people committed to our environment.. not political zealots that “know not what they are doing”..
FINLAND: Because I’m Happppyyyyyyyy…
Finland is the happiest country in the world for the eighth year in a row, according to the World Happiness Report 2025..
Other Nordic countries are also once again at the top of the happiness rankings in the annual report.. Besides Finland, Denmark, Iceland and Sweden remain the top four and in the same order. .. The US? 24th !!! C’Mon People !!! GET HAPPY!!!
IN DA SWAMP:
FBI: Mexican authorities arrested Francisco Javier Roman-Bardales, also known as ‘El Veterano,’ a high-ranking leader of the transnational MS-13 gang and one of the FBI’s most-wanted fugitives, in Veracruz, Mexico. That’s the third person on the FBI Most Wanted List (along with murderer Arnoldo Jiminez and child rapist Donald Fields II) since Trump entered office.
FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X, “That’s not an accident. When you let good cops be good cops, this is what happens. This administration is giving the new FBI and AG Bondi the resources to get the job done — and we won’t stop.”

There is buzz over Elon Musk getting “Top Security Briefings” on the US Military’s confidential plans regarding the military and China ..
Now, of COURSE the wokesters and their media co-conspirators want to make a big story about this because “ELON friend with Evil Orange Man.. Must destroy him!!!!” .. But.. Elon owns SpaceX. They send rockets and satellites into space. He has been dealing with NASA for years.. He ALREADY has the top security clearance …and..
Why would you NOT want a guy as smart at Elon checking your work? Checking your “plan” .. It’s like running your Term Paper through AI… Check you work.. Why Not??

TESLA: Met a guy with a new Tesla. The “automated driving” feature is now so advanced he made a 2 hour drive and didn’t touch the steering wheel until he got to my parking lot. He didn’t even need to program the address because it was in his calendar. The car knew where he was going when he got it .. Pretty soon, they are going to be able to call it “Self-driving”.
This, of course, has HUGE implications for our lives. Kid misses the bus? Pop them in the car and send them to school, then car comes back. .. Your wife wants to leave the party and you want to stay??? She goes.. Car comes back for you .. The big question is DUI. If there is full self-drive how can you say I was DUI!!!??? .. Seriously, though.. That’s safer for the world.
SPORTS:
GOLF: PGA TOUR: Valspar: 5 Tied at -4 after round one.. This course is HARD!!! .. I doubt ANY of them shoot -4 again today.. In fact, Ill bet any of you $1 they don’t !!

NCAA: March Madness: Creighton beats Louisville for the first (minor) upset of the tournament ..Drake upsets Missouri…. and… McNeese State beats Clemson by a point and ruins 3/4’s of pool brackets (Pundits say 36.1% but how the F—k do THEY know??) .. Poor SIU Edwardsville drew #1 seed Houston and lost 78-40 (and it could have been WAY worse.. was 70-32 with 7 mins left) .. I called the #10 Arkansas over #7 Kansas upset.. (But I had Clemson in the Sweet 16 so my bracket be BUSTED!!) …
and..
NBA: BIG news in BAAHHHSSSTTAHHNN.. Bill Chisholm, managing partner for Symphony Technology Group, has agreed to purchase the Celtics for $6.1 billion from the previous owners, the Grousbeck family.
The sale is the largest for an American sports franchise in history, barely eclipsing Washington Commanders’ sale of $6.05 billion to the Josh Harris group in July 2023.
CELEBRIDIOTS:
Yes, Yes .. The longtime home of the Grand Ole Opry was the historic RYMAN Auditorium .. for some reason I said Ryland (probably has something to do with brain cells and red wine). .. so.. CORRECTION: Ryman not Ryland .. and if you make a trip to Nashville and you are into music .. You should stop by the Ryman and take the tour..
and..
Sydney Sweeney .. HERE.. has signed on to star in a movie based on a viral Reddit story about a girl that shows up at a house pretending to be their daughter that disappeared 10 years ago.. She plans to stay one day.. just long enough to rob the family blind and split.. Hmmm..
I’ll watch as long as there is at least ONE shower scene !!! (OK, Fine.. a bath scene will do).. ..HERE..
