February 11, 2021 Newsletter
Welcome to the latest C’mon Now newsletter. I am going to try my best to get back to doing a daily newsletter that focuses on things outside of MMA that interest me. Hopefully you’ll find these things interesting as well.
Thanks to the new subscribers and the folks who have been with me, thank you as well!
Before we dig into things, please subscribe to the newsletter if you haven’t done so. If you have subscribed, please share it with someone who you think might enjoy it.
Folks who have subscribed and want access to the podcast, please subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Google, Stitcher or your podcast service of choice. I only do the podcast email twice a week so as not to be too much of a bother in your inbox.
Also, do me a favor, if you’re so inclined and subscribe or share this newsletter with someone you think might enjoy it.
Also, if you can do me a favor, subscribe to my YouTube page and check it out to see if you like anything you see.
Oh, I’m Trent Reinsmith, you can follow me on Twitter.

Poem
jingoism by Bill Shields
I never wore a yellow ribbon
& I've bled for this country
no flag either
or "WELCOME HOME HEROES" bumper sticker on my car
I can't find one good thing to say
about American teen-agers firing extremely high-tech weaponry
against a virtually unarmed enemy
A parade for our heroes?
A parade for death?
What was the body count anyway?
How many Iraqi children died with our metal in their bones?
I'm not going to make a nineteen year old kid a hero
for having the innocence to kill
I have two Purple Hearts myself
for being young & stupid
& that is not an excuse
to fill a coffin
