Great Moments in Tampa Bay Buccaneers Football: From the beginning of football through the Bruce Ariens era. Apr 1, 2021

by Brian Kelly

$6.95

This book is written for those of us who love the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (TBB) and their great free home state of Florida. Those who dislike the Bucs for their own reasons, will also want this book, so they can try to get a leg up on the facts missing from the bookshelves of those TBB fans who do not have this book. The book first tells the story about the founding of the Bucs as the newest team in the National Football League. Most real NFL fans know that The Buccaneers, (often shortened to The Bucs,) were established in 1976, and they posted what pundits have called for the ages an ignoble 0-14 record in their first season in the NF. The NFL wasn’t sure what to do with them but after playing their first season in the American Football Conference (AFC) named after the old AFL, the Bucs moved to their current Conference (NFC) in 1977. Life did not change to greatness for TBB for a few more years. This book would like to go back to the AFL because that’s when football was at its greatest, but Tampa Bay came along seventeen years after the AFL played its first game. You’ll find we do take a peek at the beginning of football just to get you warmed up.After talking about how primitive man played football, this book quickly moves on to describe the beginning of football in the US and it recounts the first "American Football Game" in 1867. From there, the progression includes college football teams loving the new sport and their graduates looking for a place to play football after college. Eventually all of this build-up in the 1920’s to the beginning of the National Football League and of course the American Football League (AFL) in 1960 and then the expansion which brought in the Buccaneers in 1976. Hugh Culverhouse, a successful Florida Tax Lawyer and broker gained the franchise. He hired USC’s successful coach, John McKay as the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he held the reins until 1984.It seems like yesterday but for those pros trying to create a league in the 1920’s out of nothing, might have gotten nothing without their hard work. And of course, this great book about the Buccaneers would have been nothing without Culverhouse’s decision to create a team in Tampa Bay. After starting out 0-26 with 26 straight defeats, McKay brought the team to its first win v the New Orleans Saints. And two years later they sported a 10-6 record and actually won their division and played in the conference championship game in 1979. You will learn that McKay was a great choice, He had achieved major success at the University of California with four national championships in his 16 years there. Coach McKay is responsible for orchestrating the building process that led to the Buccaneers stunning early success.This book captures the great moments in Buccaneers Football. This Bucs first book takes the reader through stories about their 12 coaches to great stories about the 45 seasons worth of great games (916 games ) with 481 great wins. The book often stops in time and talks about a particular great player such as Lee Roy Salmon, Ricky Bell, Doug Williams, and of course Tom Brady. They picked up their first NFL Championship with John Gruden and won Super Bowl XXXVII with a convincing 48-21 win. Of course we all know about 2020’s Championship and Super Bowl victory as the Bucs have come of age with Tom Brady as their new MVP.And, so now, I dare you to pick up this book for, if you are a Bucs fan, and you will never put it down again. You cannot ever get enough of the Bucs greatness, but we do provide as many stories together in one spot as we can in this can’t miss book.

Start with just a week visit. There are many reasons why—Come as a one week or a one month a year snowbird-- you will definitely want to come back. This book tells you why!The Villages is unique. My wife and I have been there three times First one day, then four days and then seven day Villages Lifestyle adventures. Each time, we were more inclined to buy a nice home. Maybe someday we will but in the meantime we will be snowbirds. Next time, it’ll be a month. #1 rated, the Villages is the largest gated over-55 community in the world. It is home for more than 126,000 residents in an area bigger than Manhattan. Everyone gets around via golf cart. Three years ago, Yogi Bernardo. one of my Meyers High School classmates (PA) invited me to his home in the Villages for a Florida reunion. It prompted me to take a Florida vacation. My wife and I were happy to have been able to book a room after being on a waiting list for the Magnificent Waterfront Hotel in Sumter Landing in The Villages. As a Villages resident, Yogi called the hotel and got me a reduced rate of $193.64 in February 2017. What a great place!. At other times than February, the hotel has better prices. The reunion was at noon. Pat’s sister joined us at Yogis, and at 5:00 PM left for the Waterfront. We found a great place next door called Cody’s Roadhouse and had dinner. Pat and her sister went shopping in Lake Sumter’ Landing—magnificent.Two years ago on Nov 18, we took a Villages Lifestyle 4-day vacation. The cost was special too--$99.00 a night with an included two bicycles and a golf car for the four days. The Villages put us up in one of their three bedroom, 2 bath new homes—beautiful;. While there we took, a Saturday trip to Gainesville and saw the Football Gators rip apart UAB 36-7. Great fun at The Villages. This past February, we went again for a reunion and spent seven days. It still was not enough time at The Villages. When we left on February 13, we had just enjoyed 4 days of 86 degree sunny weather with plenty of great swimming in one of the Villages 57 pools at last count. We don’t golf but we might soon as there are 52 championship golf courses in the Villages. Since we came in peak season the price was $199 per night in a brand new home. Wow!That’s just part of it. The Villages is unique because it was built to be unlike any other community. 126,000 happy residents cannot be all wrong. There is something for everybody. With over 3000 clubs/activities, you’ll run out of days to have fun before you run out of Villages activities to keep you interested. How does free music and dancing on the public squares from 5 to 9 sound with top bands. How about pickleball, paddle tennis, swimming, polo or fun bars with two-fors from 12:00 Noon?

Learn about all this and more in this tell-all book about America’s greatest playground for those 55 and older. On my last trolley tour of The Villages, for example, the guide talked about the few rules there are in The Villages. She cited one of the softball rules you’ll surely enjoy. Pinch running is permitted for Villagers over 80 years old. Think about that! There is one caveat. To prevent ringers, the rule is no pinch runner in softball can be younger than seventy years old. Think about that! Hah!.

Mike v Trump : Mike Grant takes on Donald Trump; Brian Kelly takes on Mike Grant; Pick the winner! Feb 7, 2021

by Brian Kelly, Michael Grant

$5.99

The people have had enough! The hateful impeachment of Donald Trump began long before he was elected. The hard left wanted him gone from the beginning and were prepared to do so at all costs. Trump hammered back at the political establishment & they hate him for his success. Are we not sick of the hate. Michael Grant, my co-writer on this book is sick of the hate but he can’t help adding a little hate to the Trump mix. James D. Veltmeyer, MD from LaJolla nailed it: “The savagery, frenzy, and outright hysteria displayed by the President’s enemies within the Democratic Party, the media, and various power centers of the globalist elites, have no prior precedent.”This book pits Michael Grant’s Trump perspective which is hardly positive or quite negative so to speak, against Brian Kelly, yours truly in a battle royal worth your reading. Some might notice that Lets Go Publish! the publisher, is headed by Brian Kelly so only the items that Michael Grant wrote himself take his position. The rest such as this book description are stock publishing items without both sides taken into account. The fact is that Donald Trump got elected because the majority of the voters had begun to no longer trust Democrats or Republicans. Many of the regular people in America decided that they could trust Trump and in fact, they continue to trust him to do what was best for America. Trump so far has not let those people down. The left cannot stand that fact.Americans had gotten sick of the elected officials in all levels of government doing the bidding of slimy politicians or political donors and hacks in the various government swamps. Donald Trump came across as the only candidate for president who offered Americans a breath of fresh air from the stodgy, bossy, establishment elites in both major parties. That’s why I voted for Trump. He was brave enough to defy the status quo of rich donors controlling the government for their personal benefit. Trump is rich enough thanks to his father’s and his own cunning business sense that he alone of all candidates did not have to suck up to the seedy side of life just to get elected.Everybody has an opinion but too many people have their opinion shaped by crooked politicians and crooked news media. The Crooked News Network, CNN tops the untrustworthy media scoundrel list. So many of my good friends who are otherwise smart people believe CNN like it is Christ’s gospel. I mean even good people that cannot see their own faults because CNN tells them how it is. Too many people for example get all their news from crooked CNN. Yet it is now fact that at 9:00AM daily, CNN executives get their marching orders from the president of this network news organization. More or less, they are told to avoid being fired, they must continually strengthen all aspects of the political (no facts needed) effort to disparage to the death, President Trump. That must be their focus above the people’s news—or they better read the WANT Ads. .Trump in his winning 2016 election campaign held rallies of from 20,000 to 50,000 people who believed that Donald J. Trump loves America and American traditional values. Look at the goodness that he instilled into his own children. He is not a liberal fool or a progressive socialist tool who hates America. He is simply for America and Americans first. So are many of you and I if we really think about it. The corrupt anti-American mainstream press has recently merged with the corrupt Democrat Party. Together they regurgitate the most obnoxious collection of hate known since the Civil War. So, now together, they hate Trump because he represents normal Americans and not the fringe actors who have together decided to unseat him as president and crown Hillary for the job. This pond scum had no rallies like Trump because there would be few attendees.

Those who dislike the Bucs for their own reasons, will also want this book, so they can try to get a leg up on the facts missing from the bookshelves of those TBB fans who do not have this book. The book first tells the story about the Bucs as the newest team in the National Football League from 1976 to Super Bowl LV.

The main focus of this book is Bucs Championships and there are more games than most think. . We spend the time to tell the stories of all the Bucs championship games and the playoff games associated with winning championships. Most real NFL fans know that The Buccaneers, (often shortened to The Bucs,were established in 1976, and they posted what pundits have called for the ages an ignoble 0-14 record in their first season in the NFL. The team lost 26 games before it posted its first win. The NFL wasn’t sure what to do with them but after playing their first season in the American Football Conference (AFC) named after the old AFL, the Bucs moved to their current Conference (NFC) in 1977. Life did not change to greatness for TBB for a few more years.

Eventually all of the activity in college football built-up in the 1920’s to the beginning of the National Football League and of course the American Football League (AFL) in 1960. Another league expansion brought in the Buccaneers in 1976. Hugh Culverhouse, a successful Florida Tax Lawyer and broker gained the franchise. He hired USC’s successful coach, John McKay as the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he held the reins until 1984. McKay got his team to the playoffs a number of times after a slow start. Those great games are retold in this book.

John McKay brought the team to its first win v the New Orleans Saints. And two years later they sported a 10-6 record and actually won their division and played in their first major championship game in 1979. You will learn that McKay was a great choice, He had achieved major success at the University of California with four national championships in his 16 years there. Coach McKay is responsible for orchestrating the building process that led to the Buccaneers stunning early success.

This book captures the great games, championship seasons, and almost championship in Buccaneers Football and to tell a good story, we briefly look at each of the 45 seasons to help the reader roll from one championship to another without wondering what year it happened in. This Bucs first book takes the reader through short stories about their 12 coaches and about 45 seasons worth of great football (708 games with 278 great wins. The Bucs picked up their first NFL Championship (Super Bowl) with John Gruden and won Super Bowl XXXVII with a convincing 48-21 win. Of course we all know about 2020’s Championship and Super Bowl victory as the Bucs have come of age with Tom Brady as their new MVP. Even before then, the chiefs were winning post season games. That is what this book is about.

And, so now, I dare you to pick up this book for, if you are a Bucs fan, and you will never put it down again. You cannot ever get enough of the Bucs greatness, but we do provide as many stories together in one spot as we can in this can’t miss book.

Like Trump, DeSantis has more than delivered on the promises that he made to Floridians upon taking office in January, 2018. He tackles the issues that are important to Floridians and the well-being of the state, and does it now and he promises to continue his policies into the future. His great response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a major area in which he has recently exceled while keeping Florida mostly open and not suffering extensive business losses. Ron DeSantis is one of a kind. Florida has achieved historic accomplishments that are of the utmost importance to Floridians and will bring our state to the next level. In conjunction with the Florida Legislature and federal, state and local partners, Florida has secured major successes for the environment, education, hurricane recovery, economic development, public safety, military, health care and more.Ron DeSantis said that “Every day, I wake up grateful for the opportunity to go to work on behalf of Floridians. While we can reflect and be proud of these accomplishments, there is always more that can be done.” The governor has been very aggressive in obtaining vaccine for the state’s citizens and having a plan to get it into their arms. Since the beginning of the public health emergency, Governor DeSantis has put Florida’s Seniors First. Seniors love him for that Florida was the first state in the nation to vaccinate more than 500,000 individuals 65 years of age or older and is one of only three states to administer vaccines to more than one million people. According to publicly available age demographic data, Florida continues to have the highest percentage of vaccines administered to seniors 65 and older, with vaccinations in that age bracket accounting for nearly 65% of total vaccinations in the state. “Florida remains steadfast in our commitment to putting Seniors First and the numbers speak for themselves” said Governor DeSantis. Florida Walmart and Sam’s Club locations are now vaccinating seniors. There are 119 Walmart’s in 34 counties who have received more than 25,000 doses of the vaccine and the numbers are growing.Governor Ron DeSantis and Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner highlighted the success of their partnership to put Seniors First in Palm Beach County for vaccine distribution. As of February 5th, over 146,000 seniors 65 and older in Palm Beach County alone have been vaccinated, which represents over 40 percent of all seniors in Palm Beach County. Statewide, Florida continues to far outpace the rest of the nation in vaccinations of seniors with over 1.3 million seniors 65 and older vaccinated, which accounts for 31 percent (or nearly one-third) of all seniors in the state. “Florida continues to lead the nation in vaccinations of seniors, and in counties like Palm Beach, and areas like the Villages, we have made great progress by working with Mayor Kerner to vaccinate over 40 percent of their senior population,” said Governor DeSantis.

Boost Social Security Now!: Hey Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime? Nov 28, 2017

by Brian W. Kelly

$4.99

Congress & the President must act now to avoid a senior crisis!

Even if they read this book cover to cover, unfortunately, somebody will still say that the US cannot afford to pay for seniors to be OK! I say that we cannot afford not to do what is right, This is America.

If somebody says we cannot afford to assure that seniors can lead lives in which the poorhouse is not a constant threat, please tell them to read Chapter 11 from start to finish and use their imagination.

We Americans can most certainly afford making seniors whole again and we must. The dirtiest politicians in America colluded so they would not have to take the real cost of a senior living in the reality of America into consideration for the last thirty years or so. Nobody in America wants this perpetration to stand, especially seniors who just lost their homes and who are scraping to find a good meal.

The most beleaguered citizens in the United States are our senior citizens. Seniors are victims of government. It should not be so; but it is easy to explain. There is not one senior citizen member of Congress, who actually depends on Social Security to make ends meet. How is it then that they get to cast their magic wands annually to determine the cost of living increase due seniors.

Congressional inflation estimates unfortunately are nothing close to the reality of the real price increases seniors actually pay every-day at supermarkets and clothing stores in America? The law on SSR has been distorted and seniors need and deserve a massive adjustment. It is up to seniors to make sure Congress knows that it has not delivered. Perhaps when seniors are responsible for sending members home for good after the next election, the Congress will understand.

If President Obama had another heart, some say it would be lonesome. For eight years, seniors served as the former President’s personal punching bag as he stubbornly refused to give seniors a break. Obama even tried to reduce senior benefits with his chained CPI proposal. Then, he took more than $700 Billion from Medicare to fund his signature legislation known as Obamacare. Democrats, the ones who claim Republicans have no hearts are all Tin Men on the SSR issue and their main man for eight years, Barack H. Obama had no regard at all for Seniors. He claimed otherwise but worked to reduce SSR benefits for the duration of his eight years in office.

Wimpy Republicans without the courage of Donald Trump, permitted the former President to decrease the livelihood of seniors and chose not to fire back at the former president with the gumption they now show when opposing Trump. They chose to do nothing to help seniors. Mike Huckabee was the first Republican to complain when he publicly accused "illegals, prostitutes, pimps, (and) drug dealers" of freeloading off the Social Security system during the first GOP primary debate way back on August. 6, 2015. This freeloading must be paid back to seniors. Despite President Trump’s problems with Republican, RINOs, seniors pray he still has the energy to help.

Stolen Election?: Democrats say: “fair and just;” Republican cowards surrender to Democrats Jan 13, 2021

by Brian Kelly

$4.99

The facts show that Democrats believe nothing unless CNN & all the liberal media outlets tells them it is so. Have you heard one true story about election fraud and corruption executed by the bad actors in the corrupt battle ground states of Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Georgia, & Wisconsin? Yes, I know the picture on the front-cover is not 2020. If you found that, you will enjoy the book. Surely, unless you get your news from CNN, you know that in December, the State of Texas challenged results in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin because of corruption but the chicken-hearted high court scaredy cats were too afraid of Antifa and BLM to take the case so they claimed that Texas did not have standing to bring the case. Bulldinky! The four states that Texas sued clearly used unconstitutional means to steal the election for Biden and it affected every citizen of the US in every state. Moreover, if the Supremes took the case, they would have discovered enough fraud to overturn the elections in all four states giving Trump more than the 270 electoral votes as necessary for the win. The Supremes protected their own butts by making no decision. They punted leaving America in the lurch. We do not need chickens in the Supreme Court. We are better off with Turkeys than lily livered chickens. Pennsylvania Republican lawmakers whose observers were excluded from observing after extensive analysis found “troubling” discrepancies. These were widely reported. Democrats were happy with the results and remained MIA in the foray. There were discrepancies between the numbers of total votes counted and total number of voters who voted in the 2020 election. This is an impossibility yet it stands. One must ask how the results could have been certified by Pennsylvania’s Governor Tom Wolf and Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar. Heck, they won. That explains it. Attorney Sidney Powell explained what went down in PA on Election night. “The very night of the election many people saw something they had never seen before in the history of our elections. They saw votes being changed on the screen in front of them, going from President Trump to Mr. Biden. Life in America will never be the same if this goes without a stand. Biden is not the president. The overriding recommendation in this book is for conservatives to use leftist playbooks and play like Biden is not the president. He is not our president. Then, every Republican in Congress and the Senate who turned his back on conservatives needs to be replaced in the primary. We need to replace RINOS with patriotic Americans. The time has come for America to create the American MAGA Party
