It’s Valentine’s Day, traditionally the day when one expresses their affection to their Heart’s desire.

And it’s not just emotional, but also financial: The National Retail Federation estimates the cost of buying romantic baubles & accoutrements (such as cards, candy, flowers, lingerie, perfume, jewelry, and more) will “reach a record $29.1 billion, surpassing the previous record of $27.5 billion in 2025.“

Lucky ones will be lavished, and luckier ones will get even luckier if the lucky one is suitably impressed by their suitor.

On a day when emotions, and for some the biological urge, can overwhelm prudent fiscal responsibility, here’s my St. Valentine’s gift to you:

St. Valentine’s Day SCIENCE!

ICE Reforms: “Common sense”, or “Non sense”?

Posted on February 13, 2026 by museman

(Demanding Democrats) “These are commonsense reforms. If Republicans refuse to support them, they are choosing chaos over order, plain and simple.”
- Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer

The U.S. Constitution grants Congress a lot of power but makes few demands of them: One of them is to define, submit, and approve a Federal Budget or else Washington D.C. shuts down.

This detail isn’t lost on the Democrat Party, which during Trump’s second term has shut D.C. down by holding the Federal Budget hostage on two occasions unless their demands were met: For 34 days back in December 2018, after demanding Trump stop constructing the border wall, and for another 43 days in October 2025, after demanding Biden’s temporary healthcare premium subsidies be made permanent.

And now the Democrats threaten to shut down America’s ability to enforce National security by holding hostage any funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) until their demands for Federal reform of ICE are met.

Walz Waltzing away from Politics? Maybe not…

Posted on February 7, 2026 by museman

Let's all Scream! Minnesota’s Progressive Governor and failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz has stated he won’t seek re-election (and, rightly so, he’s probably the worst governor in modern history).

But don’t break out the champagne just yet: That doesn’t mean his political career is over.

Minnesota’s current Democrat Senator and Trump-denouncer Amy Klobuchar announced she’s running to become Minnesota’s next governor: Should she succeed she can unilaterally appoint Tim Walz to fill her vacated US Senate seat until elections for her seat take place. If Walz is approved in a Special Election he could then become Minnesota’s interim Senator until at least January 3, 2031

So, Tim could still remain in politics, and potentially expand his failures at the State level to the Federal level.

It’s “Democracy” at work, courtesy of Democrats

In the meantime, Tim Walz announced as he ended his campaign for governor:

“For Republicans here, I have more energy than I’ve ever had. I am committed to this state more than I’ve ever been. Expect for the next 11 months for me to ride you like you’ve never been ridden to make sure you’re doing your job.”

“Doing your job”? An interesting choice of words, coming from a Democrat who reportedly didn’t do a good job during his two terms as Governor.

Here’s a Thought: How to Actually Abolish ICE

Posted on February 6, 2026 by museman

Before getting into my thought think about this for a minute:

And now, on to my thought…

(Oops, no ice!) Way back in February 2016 published “The 2016 MUSEman Presidential Platform”, which included my solution to people entering the United States illegally.

As preface to my solution I wrote…

“The Statue of Liberty proclaims she wants the world’s ‘huddled masses’, but I’m quite sure she didn’t mean to include the world’s subversives, criminals, prisoners, spies, terrorists, or those clearly out to do America harm. Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop Liberals from letting such persons into the world’s most popular ‘relocation destination’ by disingenuously lumping together illegal aliens (ie: law-breakers) with legal immigrants (ie: honest, law-abiding people).”

Little did I know almost 10 years ago that Joe Biden would be selected (p)Resident of the United States in 2020, with his immigration policies resulting in over 6,700,000 foreigners entering the United States illegally, with hundreds of thousands being reclassified as “seeking asylum”, other hundreds of thousands being released on their own recognizance with an order to appear for their immigration hearing (which they would then ignore), over 1,700,000 avoiding capture after sneaking in (so-called “gotaways“), an estimated 617,607 known criminals allowed to roam free, losing track of at least 323,000 unaccompanied minor children released into the custody of “qualified sponsors”, and many of those millions being resettled to various locations around America and provided with transportation, shelter, food, emergency medical care, and other amenities at an estimated cost of $42 Billion in US Taxpayer money.

It’s the “Mostly Peaceful Radical Leftist Coloring Book”!

Posted on February 5, 2026 by museman

If you want skip over the intro and see the Coloring Book just Click here

In late 2025 President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched Operation Metro Surge, and on February 4, 2026, DHS announced they had arrested more than 4,000 illegal immigrants arrests of illegal aliens “including murderers, ped0philes, r@pists, gang members, and terrorists”.

During that operation some of the Left-wing protesters arassed, taunted, spat upon, interfered with, assaulted, attacked, and injured on-duty Federal Agents, resulting in the unfortunate death of two protesters.

Naturally, along with presenting facts every side involved has colored their description of the situation with their own shades of rhetoric, hyperbole, and sensationalism.

And now here’s YOUR opportunity to add your own color to the issue of Anti-ICE protesting:

Why Bill Belichick was Denied the Hall Of Fame

Posted on January 29, 2026 by museman

Football Stadium in Toilet Bowl Early in my career, while working as an entry-level Mechanical Engineer performing preliminary designs for gas turbine engine axial compressors, one of my experience mentors taught me this important rule:

“One hundred ‘Attaboys!” are equivalent to one ‘Oh sh1t!’ “.

And it appears Bill Belichick, the legendary and mostly expressionless former Head Coach of the National Football League’s New England Patriots, may have learned this lesson the hard way (assuming he hadn’t learned it already).
