After getting a break on 17, McIlroy hits an awesome drive down the 18 hole, at the Emirates Golf Club, Majlis Golf Course, on the final round of the Dubai Desert Classic.
In the clubhouse is veteran Richard Bland and golf phenom Viktor Hovland sitting at a comfortable -12 under par and waiting to either, go on a playoff or the airport.
McIlroy was -12 under par with over 260 yards into the par 5. A birdie would have done the trick at best, and at worst, a par would have taken him into a playoff with Bland and Hovland.
Unfortunately for him, none of those two scenarios came to fruition. He bogeyed 18 after spraying his second shot into the water and missing a par putt.
What what was he thinking? Did his caddie, Harry Diamond, told him what was going on? Did he knew all he needed was a birdie to win outright or a par to join the playoff?
In typical McIlroy fashion, he went out in flames. I felt sorry for the guy, after all, I am a golfer and I have played at the Emirates Club many times. I know how difficult is to clear that water, and at over 260 yards is even tougher.
I know the player is responsible for making the shot, but I put a lot of the blame on his caddie. I would have insisted on the layup and dealt with the ass-chewing after the victory champagne.
This was one of the worst decisions I have witnessed. A heartbreaker for sure.
Personally, I think is time for Rory McIlroy to hire a real caddie. I am sure is fun to have your best buddy in your bag, but when millions, and legacy, are on the line, always go with a professional.
At the end, Viktor Hovland raised the trophy by defeating Richard Bland after birding the first playoff hole.
The Biden’s Administration Search For The Next “Black Woman” Supreme Court Justice

The Biden administration could not wait for an official retirement announcement from Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer to go on media outlets and announce to the world that if you are not black or a woman, you will not be considered to fill the Supreme Court vacancy, regardless of qualifications.
This is how we do things in this country in 2022. Forget about qualifications and experience, if you have the complexion for the connection, that is all it matters.
But this is not new. A supervisor of mine, who happened to be black, lost his service pistol, not once, but twice, and he still got promoted.
Another black supervisor had an accidental weapon discharge in the office while conducting an inspection, again, nothing happened to him. In today’s world that’s par for the course.
I have always put a premium on experience and qualifications and when I was working I always sought out ways to improve my knowledge and on-the-job experience.
It always paid off for me, I got promoted because of my experience and knowledge. That I happened to be Hispanic was an afterthought because I could back it up with my work.
Joe Biden handcuffed himself when he promised he would fill a Supreme Court vacancy with a “black woman.” Nothing wrong with that, but for someone who claims everyone is racist but him, to cast away everyone else solely on the color of their skin, well, that is racist.
In pure Democratic Party fashion; if you are male, Asian, white, lesbian, transgender, binary, and all those other unscientific, but socially acceptable human designations, do not waste your time, you will not be considered.
If you are a conservative black woman forget about it. And if you are a conservative black woman with outstanding qualifications, no way in Democratic Party hell, will you get a phone call.
It is a shame this is the current situation in our society. Everything, from education to voting has been dumbed down in the name of so-called equality.
I have never used my ethnicity as an excuse for not getting a job. If I did not get a job it is because I was not qualified for it, period. I am sick of people using their skin color or ethnic origin as an excuse when things do not go their way or to demand things they are not entitled to.
The Biden administration has already handicapped whomever the black woman is. At the end of the day, she will be just that, the black woman in the Supreme Court of the United States that Joe promised the Democratic Party base.
I didn’t know Howard Stern still a ‘thing.’ I haven’t heard or seen Stern in over a decade, who knew. Anyhow, if you get your medical advice from this clown, Covid-19 is the least of your problems.
In another sign of Woke Derangement Syndrome, Disney apologizes to Peter Dinklage for re-making Snow White, well, with seven dwarfs? Can’t make this stuff up. Go woke or go broke!
This is the America we live in. People calling to boycott Starbucks because they chose to respect the Supreme Court of the United States.
I don’t care for Starbucks or their college graduates who serve their coffee, but I respect the fact they understand we live in a country where the rule of law remains in effect. They may reverse their course, after all, it is Starbucks, but until then, kudos to Starbucks.
There you have it friends. It can only get better…
The American Medical Community Suffers from a God Complex
These animals also called themselves “doctors.” Just saying! Photo courtesy of pjsaunders.blogspot.com
Since when doctors have become judge, jury, and executioners?
Who gave doctors the right to decide who lives and who dies?
Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, many doctors in the United States have decided they have the right to deny care to those who refuse to get vaccinated.
Hospitals have denied care to sick people over a vaccine status, people have been denied surgeries and other life saving measures over a vaccine that the medical community has acknowledged its efficacy is marginal at best.
To justify their unethical and, in my opinion, criminal actions, they want to call it “compassion fatigue.” Are you kidding me?
A doctor in Alabama by the name of Jason Valentine, posted he would no longer see unvaccinated patients. His excuse to his patients? “If they asked why, I told them covid is a miserable way to die and I can’t watch them die like that.”
This man is not a doctor, he is a coward. I always thought doctors were supposed to help people, now they think they are the ones who get to ‘pull the plug’ when it is inconvenient.
This is not the only case. There have been several of these cases in the United States, with a woman in Colorado being denied a kidney transplant under the same circumstances.
The latest has been brought to you by Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. A 31-year-old man has been removed from the heart transplant list because he refuses to take the Covid-19 vaccine.
The Harvard University Teaching Hospital is using the CDC as an excuse to remove the man from the list. They say they are following CDC guidelines requiring the vaccine in addition to “lifestyle behaviors” and “to create both the best chance for a successful operation and to optimize the patient’s survival after transplantation, giving that their immune system is drastically suppressed.” Political mumbo-jumbo!
They went on to say, “patients are not active on the waitlist without this.” Excuse me, but the CDC has shown they do not know the difference between their brain and their rear end.
The patient, DJ Ferguson has been in the hospital since last November after his lungs filled up with blood due to a heart issue, and after needing surgery to deal with several blood clots.
His father, David Ferguson, told WBZ-TV, his son “doesn’t’ believe in the Covid-19 jab and considers it “against his basic principles.”
David Ferguson went on to say of his son, “I think my boy is fighting pretty damn courageously and he has integrity and principles he really believes in and that makes me respect him all the more.” “It’s his body. It’s his choice.”
DJ Ferguson’s refusal is in part to the fact that heart complications have been recorded as a serious side effect of the vaccine, and if his heart swells any further his chances of sudden death are extremely high.
How can you blame Mr. Ferguson for refusing a vaccine that may kill him after his transplant? What would be the point of a successful surgery to die afterwards?
Jump off the cliff or shoot yourself, those are the choices given to Mr. Ferguson by the same people who are supposed to oversee saving his life.
Our medical community is insane. Doctors and hospitals cannot be trusted with our most precious possession, our lives.
These people are not healers, these people are murderers, and they should be ashamed of themselves.
