HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA

I’m pretty sure this is a first. I don’t think I ever wrote an article on the Fourth of July. Obviously, this one is pretty special. My wife was born in London and immigrated to the US in the 1980’s. She loves and appreciates this country more than a lot of native-born Americans. She knows what socialism is and how oppressive it is. She was born to a successful real estate developer and was able to tour the world before she was twenty years old. She toured the old Soviet Union, and she can tell you firsthand how dire the life was during those years for the Russian citizens. The English government she lived under was pretty terrible although it’s even worse now. So, when she hears someone talk positive about socialism, she gets very animated very quickly.

I was born and raised in the south-central US, and never had any desire to be a world traveler. I love this country and although having been twenty eight of the 50 states, I would not travel beyond the national borders until I have seen every single one of the fifty glorious states. Don’t feel sorry for me, I’m quite happy with my decisions and my love for my country. I’m not being totally truthful, I have visited our neighbors in Mexico and Canada. Mexico looks like California, and Canada looks like Washington and Oregon. Ho-hum.

I have heard the theory that certain behaviors and memories get passed down through genetics. Memories that are embedded in your being, but you can’t recall them voluntarily. I think that may be true. Many years ago, the first time I stood in the presence of a Scottish pipe and drum band, the hair stood up on the back of my neck and a strange feeling washed across my body. Years later, I discovered through my DNA that my heritage is 99% northern European which includes Scottish, Irish and English ancestry. My point is that this could also play a large part in my deep love for America as my family came from Essex, in London and landed on these shores in 1700. My family was here 75 years before the Declaration of Independence was written, 325 years ago. So, if the theory is true, and you do have embedded genetic memories, I have over three centuries worth to deal with.

PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOWS HOW TO THROW A PARTY.

Wow, I watched most of the festivities tonight, tuned in just a bit late. But the lead up to the President’s speech was phenomenal. His speech was phenomenal. I don’t know exactly how many celebrities refused to participate or who they were, but personally, I thought the show was much better without them. Celebrities always want to make everything about them; this was not the time and place for that. This was a time to celebrate our nation, as an American, with pride, humility and gratitude. The military performers were fabulous, totally perfect for the occasion. God bless these great people.

The Democrats did everything they could think of to sabotage the celebration. Instead of joining in as Americans and sharing this great moment, they chose to be jerks. Calling this “Donald Trump’s Party”, and they weren’t going to participate. Sounds a bit childish to me. President Trump wanted this to be special for all Americans. The only political statement I recall was his statement against communism, vowing that America would never be a communist nation.

Thank heavens the Democrats didn’t succeed. The entire show was awesome. How about that stage? Don’t think I’ve ever seen a more spectacular setting, but then again, it’s not ever going to be the 250th Anniversary again. The fireworks were over the top. The crowd was joyful, dancing to the music, and having great time. The promoters must have pre-screened the attendees, because I didn’t see a single whacko person. Thank God for that.

I have one more thing to say about the show tonight; Melania was gorgeous.

Going to wrap this up to tonight. My wife and I are extremely thankful for this wonderful country we live in. We are thankful for a President that loves America as much as we do. Sure, we have some problems we need to deal with, but we can do that. None the problems are worth killing each other over. We just need to work them out for the betterment of our country, so everyone’s life gets better, not worse. We need to make it possible for young folks to buy homes again, so young families can blossom. We need to get the America haters out of our educational system. We need educators that focus on the future of our youngsters, not some weird fantasy about 200 genders.

God bless America, stay safe, stay vigilant, stay free.

CENTER-RIGHT NEWS COMMENTARY BY A DYED IN THE WOOL PATRIOT.

OK, where do I start? Let’s start with SCOTUS. That body of so-called super lawyers are turning out to be a reflection of a huge part of this nation, which is dumbshit braindead individuals lost in their own egotism. Wow, I amazed myself with that outburst of sarcasm. They just missed the chance to make this nation one hell of a lot stronger and buoy up the national pride, but no, they had to pander to the sniveling white liberals suffering from racial suicide complex. What a bunch of retards. Yeah, I used the R word and I’m damn happy to do so. If anyone has a problem with it, put it where the sun don’t shine, I’ve had enough of these dumb ass commies.

DEMOCRAT SOCIALISTS

Democrat Socialists is a synonym for Clusterfuck. I don’t know a better way to describe it. Take a look at all of the retards flapping their jaws about how great things are going to be when the state owns everything including you, they tell you when to eat, sleep, fornicate, and control every single aspect of your life. Everyone lives in same shitty apartments, and you get a bicycle for personal transportation or ride the state-run transit with every piece of shit person created whether you like it or not. You get your personal items doled out as they see fit. Forget about those bathroom cabinets full of cosmetics, you can’t afford them. Ain’t gonna be doing too many selfies nobody wants to see your ugly natural mug with the zits and pits.

So, when reality sets in you organize your friends and run out in the streets to protest. Lots of luck with that, they gonna beat your asses and throw you so far back in the slammer they have to pump air to you. You might get out someday if you’re lucky, but you’re gonna be tagged like a deer. Fuck up again and you might find yourself dead. Race ain’t gonna matter no more, everyone looks the same, poor and broken. Aint’ gonna be no more envy, nobody gonna have anything to envy. Wanna go boating, join the navy or take a ferry ride. My wife toured Russia when it was the Soviet Union back in the sixties, she can tell you exactly what it’s like. Their ain’t no troublemakers, the government will just disappear you. Wake up you fucking morons.

GAY PRIDE MONTH??

Why don’t they call it Perverted Scumbag Month? When you walk down the street in front of children with you dick swinging, or your muffin and tits bare, I don’t know what else to call it. Next month if some drunk guy walks down the street with his manhood dangling, they’re gonna throw his ass in jail. I accidentally found myself on Alaskan Way in Seattle when a naked bike ride materialized, it was the ugliest display of human anatomy I had ever seen. My God those people should have been arrested for terrorism. I’m telling you, the women in the naked bike ride would cause instant erectile dysfunction. This what the nations gets for it’s birthday, a bunch ugly perverted naked people parading around saying how proud they are to be mental basket cases.

STRAIGHT WHITE GUY PRIDE MONTH AT MY HOUSE.

Yep, I know it ain’t particularly popular in some circles but ask me if I care. I’m damn proud to be white, I love being a man, I love everything about being a man. I can build a car from scratch (I’ve done it), I can weld, I can build buildings, spent my life as a steel worker, I can fish, hunt, drive trucks, busses, and boats. You need it done, chances are I have done it and can still do it.

I worked every damn day of my life and provided a home, food, and transportation for my family. It was my job to do that; I was proud to do it. It made me happy to see my daughters in nice gowns when it was time for proms and school dances. I was proud of my family, I would have died protecting them, it was my responsibility, I signed up for it of my own free will.

I feel sorry for a man that doesn’t have the balls to step up and take his place in world that God intended for him to take. I had a Father that was a living breathing example of what it means to be a man; a husband, a provider, a protector, and mentor. Likewise, my Mom was the perfect example of a woman. She could do it all, and she did with energy and dedication for her family. She always put her family before herself. My mother and father were the salt of the earth individuals, genuine in every respect.

There are still people in this world exactly like this, they just don’t make a lot of noise. The people in gay pride parades are noisy, empty souls, that are useless in every sense. They are like weeds in your flower gardens.

Well, this article probably pissed off a few people, but I’m going to lay my body down very soon and go to sleep. I’m going to sleep well, because I’m a peace with who I am. If I’m not at peace with you, you’re likely some sort of moronic nutcase, or a Democrat.

God bless all of you, and God bless America and our President. Stay safe, stay vigilant, stay free. Tell the Democrat Socialists to pound sand.

CENTER-RIGHT NEWS COMMENTARY, FROM A “DYED IN THE WOOL” PATRIOT

What a great time to be alive, to celebrate the 250th anniversary our glorious nation. What is even more awesome is that we have a president in office that loves America and is doing everything humanly possible to make it one hell of a party. I can’t even imagine what it would have been like if Kamala was in charge. Everyone in her circle hates the USA and over half of its citizens. Did we dodge the bullet or what?

The Democrats have totally lost their marbles. Last week two middle aged white women with blue and purple hair were standing at the edge of the reflecting pool cheering for the algae to win. You would think anyone in their right mind would have seen their own reflection and said to themselves, “what the hell am I doing”? I look like some kind of nut. Nope, not a shred of self-reflection exists in this strange entourage.

Then, if that wasn’t strange enough, a former Olympian, wierdo looking guy, was caught vandalizing the reflecting pool liner. He obviously denied it, in spite of being seen by several eyewitnesses. This is not his first rodeo, he was arrested a few years ago for vandalism in a National Park. You’ve probably heard of David Hearn he is a well known Democrat activist trouble maker. You would think at 67 years old he could find a better use of his time. He is obviously in a state of arrested development.

THE FRUIT IS GETTING RIPE

The Democrats have been working hard for years cultivating and growing a large crop of young Communists, and our own public education system has been the fertile ground, where they planted the seeds. Add to that, a large number of third world immigrants (mostly illegal) that have a deep-seated hatred for Jews and Whites, and “Houston, we have a problem”.

Another factor is our own home-grown bigots and haters, being groomed by their own culture. The Blacks are openly raciest and have no problem expressing their dire hatred for white folk. This whole issue was exacerbated by one Barack Hussien Obama and his severely narcissistic wife. Throw in several race baiters over the past few years that got rich from fomenting hatred. I don’t have to name them, you know who they are.

I don’t think I’m being over dramatic when I say this group of people that want to take down this country is nothing more than a social cancer that has metastasized and desperately needs to be dealt with in one way or another. Why do you think they want to “hog tie” the police? Think about it for 3.2 seconds, it will come to you. This is a very well thought out plan, with no particular deadline, whatever it takes, they will see it through.

The burning question; are there enough traditional Democrats remaining, that are willing to take on the fight to save their party from the Democrat Socialists. Watching James Carville ranting and raving lately, makes it seem unlikely. I really don’t know that much about the core of the Democrat party and its leaders to make any kind of judgement at the moment. But, on the surface, it ain’t looking real peachy.

CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM

America has weathered a lot of storms in its 250 years. The strength and resolve of the American people have always righted the ship. There have been all sorts of trials. Of course, the big one, was the Civil War when Americans were fighting and killing each other in very large amounts. You would automatically assume that would be a wound that would never heal, but it did. We have had traitors, and home-grown terrorist such as Timothy McViegh that blew up the Oklahoma Courthouse. The list is long stretching back to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

So, we have a pretty good track record of being able to overcome these seemingly dire circumstances. We have weathered the human factor and some pretty horrible natural disasters. I’m going out on a limb here, and betting on the American Spirit to bring this country back on the right track. We have a great leader, we have a “shot in the arm” celebrating our 250th Birthday which is sure to incite a new flood of patriotism. I am cautiously optimistic at the moment, but I have faith in the American citizens that they will come through as they have in the past.

God bless each and every one of you. Stay safe, stay vigilant, stay free. May God guide the hands and mind of Donald Trump and his associates.

NEWS COMMENTARY FROM A CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE, WITH SOME FLAG WAVING FOR GOOD MEASURE.

Trump loves to throw parties, and he threw a hell of big one this past weekend. I’m not much of a fight fan, I watch one now and again but it’s not one of my favorite sports. I like the fights that break out after an automobile race when some guy thinks he was cheated in some way. Those are always fun to watch. Don’t last long and typically, race car drivers are lousy fighters. But holy cow, what a production. The best part though, is that it thoroughly pissed off the lefties. I think Donald Trump’s main objective is to make sure whatever he does causes the left to go into an uncontrollable tailspin.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN IRAN? DO WE HAVE A PEACE DEAL?

I held my nose for about 10 minutes and watched Sean Hannity interview J.D. Vance this evening. I literally cannot stand to watch Hannity. Yeah, I know, he’s a staunch Trump supporter, loyal Republican, yada, yada, yada. But the guy drives me crazy with his self promotion, grandstanding, and repeating the same thing over and over and over.

That said, he and J.D. talked at length about the illusive peace deal with the craziest people on earth. J.D. insists that a deal has been struck, and the strait of Hormuz is now once again open. But he also said that it is only good as long as Iran keeps up their end of the bargain. So, I turned off Sean and tuned into Tousi TV to see what Mahyar has to say about it. Tousi TV seems to have the only realistic view on this craziness. Mahyar says that he is highly skeptical that any kind of solid deal has been reached. The IRGC hardliners are accusing the Iranian government leaders of treason if they make any type of concessions with the Americans. Every day, more IRGC leaders bite the dust in mysterious explosions and accidents. The infighting in Tehran is fierce at the moment, so I find it hard to believe there can any kind of meaningful agreements made. We will just have to wait and see. Obviously, someone believes it, gas prices are dropping in my neck of the woods fairly rapidly, and Wall Street is rebounding.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH AMERICA’S BLACK POPULATION? NOT LOOKING GOOD AT THE MOMENT.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, let me help you understand. All of this white privilege bullshit the left has been spewing is a smokescreen to hide the real problem….BLACK PRIVILEGE! What I am saying was put on full display last week when Karmelo Anthony was convicted of murder in the death of Austin Metcalf at a school track meet. Karmelo stabbed Austin Metcalf in the heart with a folding knife. Metcalf was unarmed. As we have heard thousands of times now from the legacy media “unarmed” is a major game changer. The seriousness of a killing is magnified times 100 if the victim was “unarmed”.

However, even though Metcalf was unarmed, they tried to paint Karmelo as being a victim in some unknown sense, going so far as to say his conviction was raciest. I don’t know about you, but if you take someone else’s life in a scenario such as this, you deserve the death penalty. At least life without the possibility of parole.

So here is the bottom line as I see it. Karmelo took Austin’s life. Took him from his family. Prevented Austin from having a family. Literally killed a branch of the family tree. For this heinous act, he got 35 years with the possibility of parole after 17 years. Karmelo’s act was race based; you can’t convince me otherwise. So, why wasn’t this viewed as hate crime. I thought hate crimes were serious shit.

My opinion is that Karmelo got off easy because the court was afraid of the fallout if he was dealt the sentence he really deserved. Have you ever heard of this being the case in the conviction of a white person? So, the next time someone mentions white privilege to me, my reaction will be strong, and swift. It will not be measured.

Because blacks are being handled with kid gloves in recent years, young blacks are taking to the streets and committing crimes of all sorts, knowing they are not likely to suffer any real and lasting consequences. This is a dangerous precedence for everyone involved. Innocent citizens get caught up in this, police officers get injured and killed, property losses are huge. The perpetrators themselves sometimes end up dead or seriously injured. The government and law enforcement have a difficult task ahead in bringing this lawlessness under control.

I have much more to say about this and I will likely continue the topic in my next blog. I need to close for now. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my articles. I appreciate each and every one of you. Stay safe, stay vigilant, stay free.

THE STRAIGHT NO NONSENSE STORY OF WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN CALIF.

Nobody knows the story better than Victor Davis Hanson. California was my home for 30 years, so this is why this story is interesting to me.

This is precisely why, in my last blog, I stated that we will not see a Republican residing in the governor’s mansion any time soon. We will not see a Republican mayor in L.A. California has not hit rock bottom yet. It has not become Bangladesh yet. But, make no mistake it’s headed in that direction. The Democrats have built a very effective defense system to maintain power. Only a mega tragedy will bring it down.

Please take a moment to look back on this day, June 6, 1944. While you are enjoying the beautiful summer day in peace and freedom, 82 years ago 2,501 American soldiers died on the beaches of Normandy so you could enjoy this day as a free American. God bless the souls of these brave young men that stormed the beaches knowing full well it could be their last day on earth. We owe them a debt we can never pay.

NEWS COMMENTARY FROM A CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE. WITH SOME FLAG WAVING THROWN IN.

Let’s start out with my usual lame excuses for my absenteeism. I just spent the last three weeks having both my front and back gardens renovated. Notice I said having, I was supervising and providing buckets of money to make my “digs” greener, with no weeds, and getting rid of some really ugly shrubs. Well, it looks very nice now, I get a nice warm feeling when I look over my humble castle, then the realization sinks in I’m now $5,000.00 in debt to the credit union for all of that labor and materials. Geez, have you bought any flowers lately? My first trip to Lowes for a relatively small amount of poesy’s came to a whopping $180.00. These weren’t exotic plants, they were run of the mill annuals. Now I realize why I put this off for so long.

My last trip to Lowe’s was quite hilarious. While standing in line at the garden center, I read a sign that said Lowe’s now sells bugs for your gardens. I couldn’t wait to talk to the cashier to see exactly what kind of bugs they were selling. Turns out they are selling Lady Bugs and Praying Mantises. As I was driving home, I couldn’t stop thinking about that. Both of these insects have wings and are able to fly pretty much anywhere they darn well please. Think about that for a minute. How many people buy these bugs and get surprised when they move on to greener gardens? I wonder if these bugs come with a disclaimer, saying don’t blame Lowe’s if your bugs decide to go somewhere else.

CRAZY NEWS CYCLE LATELY, WHERE DO WE START?

Let’s start with Iran. Turns out trying to negotiate with what’s left of the Iranian regime is a bit like herding cats. Trump has squeezed them really hard financially to the point their inflation is over 200%. Their money is virtually worthless. They can’t sell their oil, so if they quit pumping due to lack of storage, the wells may not ever produce again. The top three tiers of the regime have been killed. The Ayatollah is incognito; no one knows if he is alive or not. But the meatheads won’t capitulate. I think the only comparison you can make is these people are harder to eradicate than cockroaches. I’ve heard it said if the world population was annihilated by a nuclear holocaust, cockroaches would be the only survivors. I think realistically you would now have to include Muslims. Think about it, these people endured the Crusades, and have been killing each other for thousands of years and there are still two billion of them roaming the planet. They are like piss ants, my exterminator has been making money off me for ten years killing these pesky little bastards and they keep showing up. Someone needs to figure out how to chemically castrate the male Muslims spiking their favorite food. Works on insects. This would be a great project for Israeli scientists. I’m just delighted to be 85 years old; it won’t be my problem a whole lot longer. Good luck in the future.

CALIFORNIA DREAMING

Anyone that thinks the Republicans will ever get a seat at the table in California are out of their minds. The Democrat machine in California has been carefully constructed over the past forty years to weather the most severe political storms. Even though Arnold Scharzenegger served two terms as governor, ending in 2011, the Democrats never lost control of the state house and senate. One of the mainstream media outlets made the statement that although Steve Hilton was in the lead, there were still four million votes uncounted. (mail in ballots) How do you think that is going to turn out? I live in Oregon (little California) I can tell you exactly how it’s going to end. Steve Hilton or any other Republican ain’t likely to reside in the governor’s mansion in my lifetime.

BERNIE SANDERS COMES ALIVE

Until the recent lurch to the left by the Democrat party, ol’ Bern has been like some sort of plant that has been lying dormant through the long winter months. Suddenly the environment warms up and ol’ Bern begins to rise up and blossom. That sudden burst of warmth was Mamdani. Bernie couldn’t believe it, a real honest to goodness commie running for NYC mayor. It was a dream come true. Bernie and his little commie girlfriend AOC couldn’t wait to share the podium with a real live commie. But wait it was even better this commie was also a Muslim. A twofer.

Folks this is who Democrats are, don’t ever forget it. They want to destroy our Republic for their own twisted views of a socialist paradise. There has never been anything close to a socialist paradise, but there have been many examples of socialist hell holes, even worse if they are coupled with religious extremists. The ignorance of a certain segment of the American population is astounding to say the least. Never stop fighting this horrible movement that has risen up in our wonderful nation.

SIGNING OFF

I have so many more things to say, and ideas to share with you, but it’s late and we will have to resume this conversation on another day. (soon) God bless all of you, God bless America and our President. Happy Birthday America.

CURRENT NEWS FROM A CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE, WITH A DASH OF PATRIOTISM.

INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE CIRCA 1955. A SCENE FROM MY IMAGINATION.

WHAT I AM SEEING AND HOW IT MAKES ME FEEL ABOUT MY COUNTRY RIGHT NOW

How I view the world was undoubtedly shaped by being born in 1941, watching my family and people around me deal with the seriousness of the most consequential war since the Revolutionary War. Then living through the social revolution of the sixties and seventies. People of my age group, have a mindset like no other. That said, we are disappearing daily from old age, and old age-related diseases. If you are part of a high school alumni group that you keep in touch with, you are very aware of your mortality.

I created the picture above because it is very indicative of the place where I grew up. What you see in the picture are people, mostly of European descent, gathered peacefully, expressing their love for our great nation, their families and communities. The only freak shows you saw in those days were the ones that came to town with the carnivals.

I’m not naive, there have always been people who were “different” and gay folks have been around since the beginning of time. When I was growing up, gays, lesbians and otherwise strange folk kept a low profile, it was not a good idea to be too open, it could be dangerous. So, there were always people that you would consider a sub-culture, even though on the surface it all looked serene and peaceful.

So, by now, you are probably asking, what is the point. My point is, although all of the same stuff was going on then, that is going on now, the mainstream culture made it clear what it would tolerate and what it wouldn’t. I absolutely do not condone violence against others, but in order for a society to exist in a peaceful and orderly manner, restraint must be exercised by everyone. The majority of society did not agree with the alternative life styles, didn’t want their children exposed to it. The folks that lived the alternative lives, needed to be aware of that, and respect the majorities wishes. That is the formula for people of different stripes to coexist. Simple. Key word “respect”.

RESPECT; NOT MUCH OF IT LEFT

Let’s start at the bottom and work our way up to understand what has happened to that wonderful word “respect”. It all starts in the family home, that is the birthplace of respect. It starts with the parents. The mom and dad have a solemn duty to exhibit respect for each other, along with expressing their love for one another. They must make certain the offspring respect and show their love for one another as well. Love and respect are the most important lessons children can be taught. It determines the way they treat others they come in contact with, in the future. Secondly, and equally important is the respect for authority. The children need to be aware that mom and dad are in charge, period, not debatable. Parents need to stand firm from the time the child is born until that child leaves home. This is the formula for raising children that are able to navigate life more successfully. A parent’s weakness in exhibition of authority, creates problems later, that can be impossible to deal with.

Schools in my day were rife with authority figures. If you got out of line at school, you were punished in any number of ways, plus you had to answer to your parents. You were hit with a “double whammy”. Not a pleasant experience. When you were graded for your work, it was an honest grade. If you weren’t performing your work, you received a failing grade. Another experience that you didn’t want to go through. Also, if you failed, your peers looked down on you, another unpleasant experience. So, if you wanted to be able to walk with your head held high, you towed the line. Another valuable lesson for living a successful life.

Then, sometime in the sixties, a horrible thing happened. The traditional family started to disappear, and they went soft on the kiddos. That was the beginning of the end for respect. It was all downhill after that. The pictures below are the result.

So, this is all the result of failed families, failed public education, failed institutions of higher learning and failing to hold people accountable for their actions. The inmates have taken over the asylum. I don’t give a rat’s ass what you are, who you sleep with, what you do with your genitals, just keep it to yourself. I don’t give a rat’s ass if you’re a vegan, or a vegetarian. I ain’t none of those things, and I ain’t never gonna be any of those things. So don’t try to sell me on the fact that you’re somehow superior to me, a straight white, Christian male. Keep that shit to yourselves.

I respect my fellow man, and try my best not to be offensive and disrespectful of my neighbor. I respect everyone’s property, their rights to be who and what they are. Just don’t burden me with your mental illness bullshit.

We are living in the best damn country on the planet you are given the right to be who and what you want to be. In spite of this, we have a growing number of folks that express extreme hatred for the nation and 95% of its inhabitants. I sincerely believe if you feel this way, you need to pack up your shit and find somewhere else to live. I’m totally happy here, and you are causing me to be unhappy seeing your sorry asses. I can say this with absolute pride, my family took up residence in America in 1700 and we have been here ever since. Old glory is my flag, United States is my home. I might be 85 years old but I’m still a damn good shot, and I’m willing to defend the Republic and all of its glory. If you don’t like it, you can kiss my old wrinkly ass.

God bless America, God bless our President. Stay safe, stay vigilant. stay free.

RIGHT MINDED COMMENTARY

I finally found my way back to my keyboard. I have spent the past several weeks working on my landscaping after 21 years of mediocre maintenance. I told my wife brace yourself, this is gonna cost some serious money to resuscitate the front and rear gardens. We still aren’t finished, we now have to visit Lowes and spend some more hard earned cash on flowers and shrubs to replace the ones we ripped out. But we are getting lots of compliments for our efforts. However, none of those folks are offering to chip in and help with the expense. Enough with the whining, let’s get on with the article.

TAXES, TAXES, TAXES

This topic has so many facets, I’m not sure I can cover everything I am feeling about this topic. Which is mostly anger, mixed with utter disappointment, and curiosity as to why Donald Trump and his band of merrymen are the only ones seriously talking about tax reform. Every state on the west coast where I have spent the bulk of my life on this planet, are literally tax addicts. The state governments of the three west coast states are taxing folks into the poor house. People are squealing like trapped pigs and they don’t care.

The State of Orgon puts a tax measure on the ballot and the crazy ass Oregon Democrats vote for it. I have lived here 21 years and have never seen a tax measure fail to pass. I literally want to pull my hair out every single time. On the other hand, we have mail in ballots, so one can’t be too sure that it’s on the up and up.

So, why does the federal government and state and city governments need so much of our money? My house is about 2,300 sq. ft on a small city lot, and Marion county thinks I need to pay $6,000.00 per year for the privilege of owning my house. So, basically the county is charging me rent to live in my own house. The city where I live has a population of about 200,000 souls. Roughly about 52,000 single family homes. Just for property taxes alone that’s somewhere around 26 million dollars per year. That’s just for residential dwellings, not counting commercial businesses. The school district operates on a yearly budget of over one billion dollars a year, and can barely produce a literate graduate. The schools never stop begging for money and can’t show any improvement in the education of the students.

Our state roads and highways are better than a number of states I have driven across, but they could be one hell of a lot better. The state is always coming up with more creative ways to pick our pockets for the highway systems. I have heard a lot of chatter in recent years about toll roads. Give me a break, toll roads? Cut out some of the freebies and welfare to able bodied adults and fix the dang roads. We have a fleet of school busses that is massive. Why the hell can’t kids walk to school anymore? Half the kids at the bus stops are fat little rascals, it would be good for ’em. The cost of operating our school bus fleet must be close the defense budget for the feds.

TAX FRAUD

Stop and ask yourself why tax fraud is so rampant. It’s really quite simple. Anytime the government makes a huge amount of money available for any project, the fraudsters come out of every crack and crevice like cock roaches. They know from experience that the government just can’t wait to give that money away, because it makes them the flavor of the month, and it ain’t their money. The realization that the fraud is in the tens of billions of dollars should cause everyone to immediately surmise that we are being seriously overtaxed. You wanna know how I know this? Because the fraud was discovered because it was becoming so blatantly apparent, not because the government was running out of money. Medicare and Medicaid are not going broke due to normal everyday healthcare; they are being gutted by fraudsters. Are you worried your sick family member won’t be able to get hospice care in their final days? You should be, the money is going to build Nigerian mansions, inhabited by rich Somalians.

Local state politicians make it easy for the fraudsters (often illegal aliens) or green card holders to bilk the system, and in turn the fraudsters kick back a portion of that money to the Democrat politician, and it ends up in the coffers of the DNC. This system does not remain static, it grows like a malignant cancer. It’s just another iteration of the NGO’s. The federal government officials are actively involved in robbing the taxpayers. That makes me sick to my stomach that the feds can take everything I own for tax evasion, while they literally wasted the money I gave them in good faith. So, tell me again just how free we are. The freedom thing may be a little overstated.

Gotta run, getting a bit late for the old man. Stay strong my fellow Americans. Stay alert and fight to keep America a Christian Nation. One nation under GOD. Islam does not belong in our country now or ever.

RIGHT MINDED COMMENTARY

You could make this stuff up, but it’s looked upon as raciest jokes meant to demean the Muslim culture. Just before I started this article, I was looking at my phone for some additional information and noticed an insane report. A nineteen-year-old Afghan teen was arrested in France for raping goats. The farm owners found a number of animals with their legs bound and bleeding from genital injuries. Surveillance cameras actually captured the perp in the act. The report said the DNA samples taken from the goats matched the male in custody. I’m not going to pursue this any further, but I think it does confirm the popular belief held by many concerning the sexual habits of middle eastern men.

PURE GENIUS WAR STRATEGY

As I watched the Iran war unfold I was mesmerized by the sheer force of the United States military, and the precision of the operations. Of course, we have to include the raids almost a year before, named “Midnight Hammer” when they took out Iran’s nuke sites. That was just a preview of what was coming next and Iran was totally taken by surprise by operation “Epic Fury”. When you analyze what took place and understand the pure genius involved, you have to look at all of the pieces, and I don’t think anyone ever thought they were connected. When I was watching “Epic Fury” come to a close, and seeing what was unfolding, it became totally clear what had just happened. It nothing less than pure genius.

Number one: Take away any outside chance Iran had an operative nuke.

Number two: Take away the opportunity for Venezuela to fill the void to supply oil to China when you choke off the Iranian oil supply.

Number three: Do it under the guise of the war on drugs so you don’t show your cards. Capture the Venezuelan president, put him on ice while all of this takes place, so he doesn’t have a chance to screw up the plan.

Number four: Unleash the unbelievable power of the United States military on Iran and totally disable their ability to fight back in less than three weeks.

Number five: Block the Strait of Hormuz and cut off all of Iran’s ability to sell a single drop of petroleum, bankrupting the IRGC and it’s military.

Number six: By cutting off the money supply to the IRGC, it will result in internal conflict among the regime, and it will ultimately collapse. Not a single Marine will have to risk their lives in an invasion.

Number seven: With Venezuelan and Iranian oil cut off, China has no choice except to buy from Russia and USA. Creating a critical dependency China never saw coming.

Donald Trump just completely reset the world order in less than a year. Europe and England just became mostly irrelevant in most aspects, except their inordinate number of goat fuckers in their population.

DONALD TRUMP POSSIBLY SAVED THE ENTIRE WORLD FROM A NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE.

Will Mr. Trump ever receive the accolades he deserves for what he has done for the entire world population? I doubt it. But there are a lot of folks out there like me that see what he has done and appreciate the fact that our families now have a much better chance for a bright future here in the gool ol’ USA.

The next and very important battle is stopping the spread of communism, and Islam within our borders. Both are cancers and need to be excised before it’s too late. I have forever contended and continue to do so, that colleges and universities need to be purged of American hating professors. No anti-American rhetoric should every be allowed to be spoken in our institutions of higher learning. Survival of America depends on strong actions but tempered so that personal freedoms are not trampled.
