POLITICALLY INCORRECT CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE OF CURRENT NEWS EVENTS

ARE AMERICANS AS FREE AS WE THINK WE ARE, OR ARE WE KIDDING OURSELVES?

This article has been on my mind for several years. I think about it, and then I back out, thinking I am going to be perceived as anti-American, which is as far from the truth as you’re ever going to be. When I’m at a flag raising ceremony which is a couple of times a year, it is extremely emotional for me. When I watch the flag being hoisted while the National Anthem is being played, I am overwhelmed by the thoughts of all of the patriots that died defending this great nation. Some of them suffering from the most horrific injuries you can imagine. But in the past thirty odd years, we have entered into a whole new world, way different than eighty or so years ago right after WW2.

So, I guess I’ll start by asking the question; how do you define freedom? This is where my brain starts splintering into an overwhelming number of different answers. Let’s start with real basic stuff. You should be allowed to progress from birth to adulthood, without any outside influences regarding your gender, your choice of education, or your choice of occupation that you believe would make you happy. All of those things are your personal freedoms and should not be interfered with by others with ulterior motives. You should be allowed to attend the schools of your choice regardless of your race or religion. You should be able to gain entrance to schools of higher education based on your academic achievements, without any consideration of your ethnicity. Everything that I just mentioned above, has literally been shredded in the past 30 or 40 years. Not all at once, no, they would never have been able to get away with that. They have chipped away little by little, and those freedoms have evaporated, and you hardly noticed.

What is more basic than the freedom to own a home? Wow, you’re so excited buying your first home. If you’re lucky, it’s a home you want to spend the rest of your life in. You set goal to pay extra toward the principle on the mortgage, so you can actually own your property, it’s all yours. Nope, it’s not yours, it never will be. Even though you hold the title free and clear, you only get to keep your home as long as you pay the property taxes. When you stop paying property taxes, the state government forecloses and takes your home. The same thing happens if you get behind on your income taxes, the feds confiscate everything you own, including your home. You will pay on that home as long as you live there…period. There is no escape from taxation, no matter how hard you try. “The man” owns you and everything you acquire in life.

So you have been living happily in your home for 20 years, your family has grown and you would like to add on to it, make it larger and more comfortable. I mean you deserve it, you paid for it, you’re making a really nice salary. Boy, are you in for a surprise. The city planning commission will want to see the plans to see if it complies with all of the city codes and regulations. They are going to make you take out a building permit, that could be expensive and take months. If you live in a neighborhood with a HOA, they will likely have a selection of colors you have to choose from, and style of roofing materials that you’re are allowed to use. The city inspector will want to see if the construction meets code. Then the city will have to sign off on it for you to get your certificate of occupancy. Then when you’re all done, your house is now worth more money, so the tax assessor will raise your property taxes accordingly. Of course you could sell it and cash out, collecting all of that cold hard cash from the monetary appreciation that has taken place since you bought it 20 years ago. That can be a hefty sum, but don’t get all giddy. Unless you invest in another property within a certain time frame, the IRS will want their cut, aptly called capital gains.

Let’s talk about your automobile. Don’t even think about using it on a public road unless it is registered with the state, with a visible license plate, and tag showing you are currently paid up with the state. You will get a hefty fine if it isn’t insured. A lot of states have laws that say your vehicle has to pass a safety inspection and another tag is assigned to your car, usually displayed on your windshield. Surely, some of these things protect other motorists, but the state cleverly realizes how much you need your automobile and you will readily pay for the privilege of driving it. More revenue for “the man”. Oh, wait a minute, you can’t drive without gasoline, so let’s add some more taxes on gas. How often do you even think about the gasoline taxes? Do you even know what percentage of your gasoline dollar goes to taxes? I don’t, what difference would it make.

If you stay abreast of current events, which you should, you will become aware of the increased crime, and decreased police protection. So, you think it’s probably wise to own a firearm for home protection. Good idea. Shouldn’t be a problem, the bill of rights says it’s within my rights to own a gun. It’s called the second amendment. Nope, the anti-gun folks have all but killed that right. You can still own a gun, but holy cow, you have to jump through a lot of hoops. Now some states have the “red flag” law. You better make sure you don’t piss anyone off that knows you own that gun, you could end up having it confiscated, even if the reason is based on a lie. If you are involved in a domestic violence offense, they can make sure you are not allowed to own a gun in the future. But wait a minute you say, I didn’t cause the problem. It don’t matter, they are just happy to make you a former gun owner, without a chance of becoming a future gun owner. They hate guns.

Well hell, since I can’t hunt anymore, I’m going fishing you say. Not without a license you aren’t. If you buy a boat, even a small one, it has to be licensed as well before you go sailing off on your fishing excursion. Also, you better be able to identify the fish you catch, it may not be the proper season for that fish, and you could get a hefty fine for catching that smelly little bugger. Even if the fish you catch is not restricted by a time period, it better be big enough to keep, or you’re in trouble again. OK, you’re good, all of your fish are the right size, in the right season, but if you’re caught with more than you’re allowed, another big fine is coming your way. Anyway, if you add up all of the money you spend on gear, license, boat, gasoline to get to the fishing hole, gasoline to get back home, you’re way better off to stop in at the Safeway, and buy the fish of your choice, and spend all of that extra money you saved on beer. So far there’s no restriction on beer unless you drive after drinking it. Don’t think you can get by with riding your horse home from the bar while drunk, that’s illegal too. Even your riding lawnmower will get you in trouble while drunk.

A few years ago, I bought a high end drone with a fabulous camera, with a motorized gimbal that rotated a full 360 degrees plus up and down. You could adjust the exposure on the camera while in flight to get the best possible video or snapshot. It has a range of over one mile, and a flight time of close to 30 minutes at 40 miles per hour. The controller told you how much battery life you had remaining and gave you a warning if you were too far out. This was literally like flying a full-on aircraft. The purchase price was just over $4,000.00. This aircraft was large and amazing to fly. But I was restricted from flying over people or highways unless I had a pilot’s license equivalent to a manned aircraft, actually the same exact test. But I could have a limited license called a sport license that allowed me to fly over non populated areas. With the sports license I was not allowed to sell any photos I took. My drone had to be registered with the FAA and it had official FAA license number on it same as the Cessna flying out of the local airport. OK, I was willing to put up with all of that, bending the law a little here and there, but the straw that broke the camel’s back for me, was the FAA was going to make me fit it with a transponder at the beginning of 2004. I threw in the towel and sold it.

Years ago, when I was much younger and highly energetic, I bought cheap cars with issues, fixed them and maybe threw in a cheap paint job and flipped them for a quick profit. Being a law-abiding citizen, I registered them within legal the time frame, and turned in all of the proper paperwork when I sold them. I wanted to make sure everything was legal and above board. It wasn’t long before the state of California sent me a notice that if sold one more car that year I would have to become a dealer. So, I looked into what was required to be a dealer, no way could I afford to do that. I started buying cars telling the sellers not to date the paperwork, then when I sold them, I simply passed the paperwork on to the new owner and my name didn’t show up anywhere. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.

The first time I tried to have a legal business out of my home, I established a fictitious business name, AKA dba. As soon as you do that it is published in a local newspaper, and the city immediately sends you notice that you have to have a city business license. So, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out to open a bank account in your own personal name, and make sure your customers make the checks out to you personally, leaving off any indication it is a business. Your bank will take care of the transactions without any problems, and you are under the radar. Take your books to the accountant, operating as a sole proprietor. The minute the government knows your are conducting a business of any type, they immediately put out their claws to get their share.

Being a private contractor used to be a great gig. I made some very good money in California as a private contractor/ consultant. Then the state got greedy and started making laws that pretty much killed the ability to do that. If the states think you have found a way around giving them a share of your earnings, they’ll find a way to stop it.

When the phrase “land of the free” was coined, it was probably mostly correct. Today, not so much. I was watching a police show from Florida a few weeks ago, they got a call that a couple of folks were engaged in sexual intercourse at the bus stop. When they arrived, a black guy and a white gal were in fact fully engaged. They were both arrested as you would imagine. One more thing you aren’t free to do, as much as you may want to.

OPENING REMARKS

It’s been a while since I did a “View” article. View articles are simply that, my thoughts and views about stuff. Not necessarily news kind of stuff. I’m a You Tube junkie, I love all of the different things you can see and experience. I have recently been following the video episodes by Jeff Thisted. He owns and drives a 1955 Chevy station wagon that has been hot rodded and lightly customized, and he drives it from Chicago to L.A. on route 66 as much as possible while shooting some awesome video. Some large pieces of the old highway are sadly gone, and ain’t comin’ back. Why would that interest me? well I have done the same trip from Tulsa to Santa Monica four times. Once with my parents in a 1953 Plymouth Belvedere, once in a 1953 Studebaker Commander Regal Starlight Coupe when I was 21 years old with my wife and kids, once with my wife and kids in a 1959 Plymouth Fury, again in my 1965 Formula S Barracuda, and my final trip was with my wife and kids in a 1970 Plymouth Fury with a 440 Magnum engine. So, watching Jeff’s videos was fun to see all of the old motels and gas stations and towns. Looking at the old road, and how narrow it was, brought back so many memories.

THE CALL OF THE OPEN ROAD

I was born into a family that liked to go places and see things. After WW2 when rationing was lifted, people began to travel. My first big road trip was in 1949, with my sister and her husband in a brand new 1949 Plymouth sedan. We traveled from Tulsa across Texas to Juarez Mexico, then on to New Mexico and the Carlsbad Caverns, then to southern Colorado, and back home to Tulsa. It was an amazing trip for an eight-year-old. For some odd reason I remember Albuquerque and how small it was comparing it to how it looked in the sixties.

The home I grew up in was about two miles from route 66. Alongside the highway was the Frisco railway. On a warm summer night, I could lay in my bed and hear the traffic on 66 and the steam trains coming and going. Our house was quite a lot higher than the rail yards about five miles east of us. When the big steam locomotives climbed the grade going west, they actually caused the windows to rattle in our house, when we were about two miles from the tracks. The steam whistles on those old trains were a beckoning call to go somewhere, anywhere. By the time I was six years old, I already had two trips by rail under my belt. One to Dallas Texas, and one to St. Louis, Missouri. I remember crossing the Mississippi on a train like it was yesterday.

Ironically, the new four lane bypass that took route 66 around most of the populated areas of Tulsa took out my birthplace home as well. We moved to the other side of route 66 to a brand-new home which was close enough to the train tracks we could see the trains from our house. And could hear the traffic on 66 a little louder. The noise from the railroad and route 66 wasn’t a problem, it was a good sound. It’s no surprise after growing up in that environment that I had a bad case of the wanderlust. It didn’t help that my whole family had a passion for cars. I couldn’t wait until I got my first car so I could start racking up some highway miles. ( A side note; The house that was taken out by the new highway was my birthplace, built by my mom and dad and moved to that location almost ten years earlier. The new owners that bought it from the state moved it again and it still stands today, in great condition, looking much like it did when I was a kid. )

My father was the “rules of the road” expert. When I was a kid, I watched him drive while standing behind his seat. I wanted to know how it all worked. I was fascinated by the instrument panel and all of the gauges and what they meant. I used to listen to my dad’s road stories while he was driving, and how drivers were expected to interact with each other, being courteous at all times. How cars interacted with trucks and so on. I listened carefully to his every word which was the gospel of the road. I was especially impressed watching him drive at night, I loved the glow of the instrument panel lights, watching him navigate the darkness. The headlights on the old cars with six volt electrical systems were about the equivalent of a good flashlight. They were really bad in the rain. Every trip with my Dad behind the wheel was a big adventure for me.

AUTOMOBILES AND HIGHWAYS ARE A ROMANTIC EXPERIENCE OF ANOTHER KIND.

That’s exactly why it is a great topic for movies and tv shows. Every road trip is an adventure. It may not be of epic proportion, but you will remember what happened and what you saw on that trip the rest of your life. My late wife was just as smitten by the road as myself. She bought a book in the eighties by a native American author named William Least Heat Moon, called “Blue Highways”. Blue highways are the roads on the map that are blue, which means they are secondary roads found in sparsely populated areas. (we were still traveling by maps, it was many years before GPS and cell phones) She suggested that we follow his route across the western states as far as possible while traveling to Oklahoma from southern California. We did exactly that, what a fabulous trip. You have probably heard the phrase “one horse towns”, well there are a lot of those on blue highways. Your vehicle better be in good condition, because most of the time it’s a long way to any kind of automotive services.

Fortunately for me after my late wife’s passing, I met my current wife, and she too loves to travel. We have been married for sixteen years and have covered a lot of asphalt during those years, some by car, some by motorhome, some by truck and trailer. Also, a fair amount by motorcycle before age caught up with us.

Our last big adventure was about three years ago. We loaded up the trusty old Suburban and headed to Phoenix from Oregon. I added the picture above, because this is the type of road I love to travel on. This is the cut-off from West of Phoenix to Lake Havasu where we visited our grandchildren and great grandchildren. I have to add that I lived in the southwest USA for thirty years and drove these roads extensively.

This canyon is near St. George Utah, the hills and valleys are gorgeous. We loved St. George so much we spent three days there taking in all of the sights. Contrary to what some people think, the desert is a beautiful place. Right about now, it may be a little late, but the Mojave Desert in California is blanketed with wildflowers. It literally looks like a carpet.

PURPLE MOUNTAINS MAJESTY, ABOVE THE FRUITED PLAINS. GOD BLESS AMERICA

In April I celebrated my 83rd birthday, and I have only been able to see 30 out of 50 states, British Columbia, Alberta, and southern Ontario. There are so many beautiful places to see, so many beautiful highways to travel, so many wonderful people to meet. That is the romantic allure of the highway. It allows people of today to have their own personal adventures and see once in a lifetime places.

As you read above, I grew up in Oklahoma, seeing the Pacific Ocean for the first time was amazing. Standing in the Rockies looking over vast valleys, and walking through the Redwood forests of California are experiences that can’t be taken away from you. Standing in a wheat field in Kansas in the summer when the wheat is up to your waist for as far as the eye can see cannot be duplicated. Seeing Multnomah falls in Oregon in the wintertime when they are frozen cannot be matched.

My daughters just went to Europe a few months ago, and brought back some amazing photos, but I still haven’t seen my own country yet. I would love to see Main and Connecticut in the fall. I would love to take ride on the old Durango, Colorado steam train. Would love to drive the Blue Mountain Highway. Nope, don’t wanna go anywhere outside of the USA until I have seen everything here, and time is running short. Hell, I haven’t even seen the largest ball of twine yet, but I’ve been to Nashville. Saw the Columbia sitting on the launch pad a week before it exploded.

The United States of America is an awesome place. I can’t thank God enough for giving me the opportunity to live here, during the best time of its existence. It absolutely breaks my heart daily watching it be destroyed little by little, by evil people with no souls. Stand strong against this evil my friends. Do whatever is in your power to preserve our nation.

WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING?

If you have been reading my blog for any length of time, you know I’m a hopeless “gearhead” car nut. I was born that way. It’s genetic, my father was, both of my sisters, and my younger brother all loved automobiles. After all of these years of labor, I don’t have lot of money piled up in bank account. Spent most of it on cars, and just wasted the rest.

All of that said, I keep up with the automobile scene pretty closely. What I see in recent years is the price of cars is getting completely out of hand. A lot of things are contributing to that, but what I see as the main factor, is car manufacturers are trying to make cars do everything, including your housework. I’m serious, today’s cars have tons of features that are not even needed to get you from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’. In the end it makes the cars less reliable and way more expensive.

They gave me a new Chrysler car to use while my Suburban was in the shop. That was the most obnoxious car have ever driven. It had an irritating touch screen in the middle of the dash to turn on the HVAC system, set the temperature and so on. I hated it. I had to pull over and stop to use it. My Suburban is 17 years old and it’s bad enough with all of the stupid little buttons. None of this stuff is tactile, it takes your attention away from driving when looking at the digital displays. How about a three-position switch, low, medium and high, with a sliding lever to set the temp. You don’t need to know the precise temperature, adjust it to your comfort. That’s what you’re doing anyway, and you can do it without taking your eyes off the road.

The Chrysler had a ten speed automatic transmission. The damned thing never stopped changing gears. It was totally irritating. My Suburban has a three speed automatic with overdrive and a big 5.3 liter V8. It has enough power, that it doesn’t need to constantly search of gears, besides it’s busy searching for gas stations. But trust me, there are more important things in life than miles per gallon.

This one really gets me wound up. Why the hell do I need a screen the size of my computer monitor in the middle of the dash showing me fourteen different views of protestors beating my car with baseball bats, when it really needs machine guns. I’m serious, why do you need to watch yourself driving as if you and your car are having an “out of body” experience unless you’re driving while in a strait jacket.

RAIN SENSING WIPERS? Have you ever been in doubt when to turn on your wipers? Another expensive little feature that is totally unnecessary that will break just after the warranty expires and will cost just under a thousand dollars to restore it. That’s why RAIN-X is really good to carry in your trunk. Maybe they add this feature to keep you from crashing while you’re trying to find your wiper app on the touch screen.

SELF DRIVING MODE: If you’re too damn lazy to drive your own car, take public transportation and save someone’s life because your too stupid to be driving anyway.

AUTOMATIC PARKING FEATURE: If you such a lame ass driver that you can’t park your own car, UBER might be your best bet. Besides it will save the rest of us the pain of returning to a damaged car.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING DEVICES: This feature became necessary when the installed the big ass touch screen on the dash, because you’re all over the road while your trying to find the app to turn on the wipers or adjust the air temp. Most people that are of average intelligence and not drunk don’t really need this. It could be useful for drivers in self-driving mode while trying to have sex with their cousin and live streaming it on FANS ONLY.

The point I am trying to make is that car makers in their efforts to attract more customers are loading their cars with unnecessary garbage features that fail after few years and cost an arm and a leg to repair. I quit buying Ford trucks because the electronic features are prone to failure more than the other trucks I bought in the past. My Suburban is 17 years old and all of the electronic displays still work fine. All of these added features drive up the initial cost, and ownership maintenance. Another problem is that if you are looking for a less expensive car, your choices are some piece of crap econobox that is equivalent to driving a cardboard box on wheels. Why can’t you buy a mid size car with basic features that doesn’t break the bank? They used to make them. I had a 2004 Buick Century sedan with basic features, got fantastic gas mileage, comfortable, reliable, and we drove it for years with very minor repairs.

When you buy a car that you have to finance for 8 years so you can afford the payments, you will likely never own that car. You will likely trade it before it’s paid off and go into debt for another eight years. Your life will be divided into car payment segments. I got into that revolving car payment lifestyle years ago so I could be seen in the latest model, with the most features, and fanciest colors. Then I figured it out that I was being played for sucker. Now we drive nice older cars, that look stylish, and don’t have eight-year contracts. It pisses me off I didn’t figure that out sooner, I could have owned more motorcycles.

Stay safe and free my friends. God bless you and your families.

POLITICALLY INCORRECT, CENTER RIGHT PERSPECTIVE, OF CURRENT NEWS EVENTS

You have probably noticed that my articles have been rather sporadic lately. I suppose you could say that I am suffering from a mild form of PTSD, after Joe Biden was elected and proceeded to destroy my country. Well, maybe it’s a little more than a mild form of PTSD. I’m pretty much genuinely pissed 24-7-365. Him and his band of commies are well on their way to the absolute destruction of this once great nation. You will never convince me otherwise, that Barrack Hussien Obama isn’t playing a major role in this as well. Joe Biden is living in La La Land, oblivious to reality. Don’t kid yourselves, all of this calamity is not just happening by chance, this is being orchestrated. I’m going to let Victor Davis Hanson put it in perspective.

I am acutely aware of everything Victor says in this video, I have been saying this in my blogs for years now. It’s depressing as hell knowing a group of knights on white stallions is not going to ride in and save us. The Republicans were our last hope, and they have completely morphed into something unrecognizable. The Republicans are great talkers but are in reality what the Chinese call “paper tigers”. They are mostly useless.

So, I keep scanning the news, looking for a glimmer of hope, looking for some kind of sign things are starting to change, and all I see is more lawlessness, despair, government lies and propaganda. They are spending the USA into oblivion. They are destroying our beautiful cities one by one and allowing China to buy up our farmlands. They are allowing non-citizens to pull down the American flag and put a foreign flag in its place, and there is no one there willing to step in and stop it. If you dare attempt to defend your homeland when your own government won’t, they will prosecute you and put you in prison and throw away the key.

So, I’m afraid that when people finally realize that their own government will not follow its own laws, the American people will turn largely lawless. Why wouldn’t they? Either the law applies to all, or it applies to none. We are headed down a very dangerous path.

I will be back soon, in the meantime, stay safe, and stay vigilant for your freedom. God Bless you all. We are headed for some rough times I’m afraid.

POLITICALLLY INCORRECT, CENTER RIGHT PERSPECTIVE OF CURRENT NEWS EVENTS.

A few months ago, I wrote an article about an old orange cat that has been around my neighborhood for several years. He didn’t have an apparent home. He was a rough looking old guy, that carried scars of past cat fights, his ears were bent and ragged, and had that look that said “don’t even think about coming near me”. The “compulsory” neighborhood ” cat lady” lives a few doors south of my house left her garage door up just enough for him to squeeze under it and provided a little bed and food for him. He was happy to grab a nap and a snack but wanted no part of being friends. Everyone respected his space and didn’t interfere with his hanging out. Well, the “cat lady” told me a few days ago that she found him passed away in her garage. She bagged up his body and she thought, now what am I going to do with it? She thought about it for awhile and said I can’t just drop him in the trash can, his life has been pretty crappy, so she took his remains to the vet and had him cremated and gave him a final resting place in her yard. So, amid all of the craziness in the world, there are still good people out there that have heart and compassion, for all creatures and people.

I DOUBT WE WILL EVER REALLY KNOW WHY THE DEMOCRATS ACTUALLY DID THIS.

On its face, the idea of throwing the gates open and letting the world walk into our country unmitigated is insanity at the highest level. There are literally hundreds of reasons why this is a really bad idea. I’m going to touch on just few that seem really important to me. It would be impossible to list them all in one article.

PUBLIC HEALTH

As long as I can remember, the United States has been very focused on health and disease control. If any type of infectious disease started spreading, the wheels went into motion immediately to get it under control. Quarantines were common in the 1800’s and early 1900’s. It wasn’t uncommon for a household to be under quarantine until the occupants were no longer considered to be carriers. This was especially true for tuberculosis which is highly contagious and dangerous. I was a pre-teen during the polio outbreak in the fifties, it was really scary. Some of my friends ended up badly crippled.

I believe the forties and fifties were the beginning of the quest by medical science to develop vaccines to protect people from these dreaded diseases. They successfully eradicated many childhood diseases that had previously taken the lives of thousands of children. Polio was stopped in its tracks by Jonas Salk. What a relief that was when kids could live their lives without fear of being crippled or spending their lives in iron lungs. Measles left a lot of kids with damaged hearts.

The unmitigated flow of immigrants from third world nations is about to undo a lot of the hard work medical science has done for the population of this country. Leprosy has re-emerged in some of the southern states. Although leprosy is curable by modern medicine, it can still have a devastating effect it not diagnosed and treated quickly. Tuberculosis is being re-introduced by illegal migrants, and unfortunately, it seems to be resistant to nearly all existing drugs. It is called XDR-TB. People with HIV are especially vulnerable. The new treatment has shown success, but with a host of side effects, and will take six months of therapy. If the therapy is not followed through to the end, it will recur.

INCREASED CRIMINAL ACTIVITY

This is proving to be true almost every day in the large metropolitan areas where thousands of illegal migrants now find themselves situated. There are probably a half a dozen new stories every day ranging from rape to murder to burglary and everything in between. What make it worse is that a lot of these people were not identified when they crossed the border and have no record whatsoever. Nobody even knows they are here. They can commit crimes with no way to track them. No DNA, no fingerprint data, no history of any kind. Even worse, quite a large percentage are members of organized gangs from South America and have a well-organized communication system in place. They move freely from state to state and city to city, undetected.

The current legal system, which is extremely soft on crime, and double soft on minorities is giving these criminals free reign to wreak havoc on American citizens. Because of the insane idea to defund the police in some cities, the police can’t possibly make a dent in this new crime wave.

STEALING BENEFITS FROM AMERICANS

There will always be the “less fortunate” among us that need our help. It has been that way from the beginning of time. It’s simply a fact of life. Before any of this nonsense began, government agencies were struggling to provide benefits for the needy, which included mentally challenged people, physically handicapped, injured veterans, and displaced people, both adults and children. It’s a huge task to manage these struggling individuals. The last thing we needed was to have millions more requiring living assistance. The new wave of welfare recipients are quite different, they are much younger and able bodied. They don’t happen to be American born, and speak foreign dialects. They are also poorly educated with no job skills other than physical laborers. When these people find it impossible to provide for themselves, they will resort to crime. It’s simply a matter of self preservation.

Stories are emerging that the local government agencies are moving American citizens out of government provided shelters and housing illegal immigrants in their place. I recently heard a story that illegal immigrants were being housed in facilities designated for veterans. Why is the left displacing Americans in favor of non Americans? Whose bright idea was this? Fortunately, people are fighting back against this craziness.

I have listed obvious things we can all see happening. There are thousand of little things that we don’t notice. One of the larger effects is how they are stealing our votes. Not by voting, but by demographics. When these people are counted on the census, it will affect the congressional districts, and ultimately result in a stronger Democrat presence in Congress.

You don’t have to have a degree in economics to understand the monetary drain on our economy from illegal immigration. It is a proven fact that illegals will be a burden for a decade or more before they start putting more money into the economy than they are taking out. Our Medicare and Medicaid systems were already taking huge hits before the surge of illegals. Where do you think these folks are going to get medical care? They can’t even feed and house themselves. The government is creating a brand new under class while killing the middle class.

Think about this for a minute. Corporations in America are becoming richer and more powerful every day and play an ever-increasing role in the shaping government policies. Corporations are becoming more and more involved in our every day lives through the way we communicate, what we eat, what we drive, and what kind of home we live in. Corporations now own and operate a huge swath of agricultural land, and food production. Medical corporations had a huge influence on how we dealt with Covid. They are playing a huge role in the transgender issue by promoting gender care.

Are we witnessing a corporate take over of our government? Are the corporations pushing for unbridled immigration to create a giant labor pool of uneducated, obedient workers? The middle class would be a hinderance for corporate control. The corporations would love to have a one-party government that they could easily control. We are very close to that right now, and you can see the devastating effects from it.

I apologize for the for leading you down a somewhat crooked path tonight, but there are so many things that seem to be intertwined, it’s hard to not see the connections in all of the things currently happening. There seems to be some sort of master plan in play, but it’s still hidden from sight for the time being. But one thing is abundantly clear, there are powerful forces that are trying to dismantle our Republic.

MUSIC WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER

I listen to music, many types of music to take my mind off of the nonsense going on in the world. One of my favorite sources is YouTube, where you can find some incredible artists that make you drift away to another world. I’m going to provide a link to a guitarist that I think is phenomenal. His name is Justin Johnson.

Hope you enjoyed listening to Justin and his band as much as I do. Have a super week, stay vigilant, stay free. OJ left the building today, the world is a better place by a little bit.

THE FOLLOW- UP

The link below is to an article that explains in infinite detail what I was trying to convey in my last blog. I would never be able to create an article such as this one, I simply don’t have the educational tools. I know its happening, I feel it, I see it, but can’t tell you how we got here. This article will fill in the blanks.

It is a long read, but well worth your time to understand what has happened to our beautiful Republic, and why its unlikely that we ever recover it.

THE LAWS THAT WERE WRITTEN TO PROTECT US ARE BEING USED TO DESTROY US.

The song ‘Hotel California” written by the Eagles had a line in it that said “we are all prisoners of our own device”. As far as the law is concerned, I will modify that phrase slightly and say we are victims of our own device. Device being the law, which is being used against us like a mace, pounding us into oblivion.

This is how it works; Using the same exact law, you apply it harshly on your opponent, and very sparingly on your cohorts. The best example I could ever hope to have, was how the rioters of 2020, which were allies of the Democrat party, received little or no punishment, in some cases such as Portland, Oregon were recently awarded damages for being roughed up by Police. In opposition to that, the January 6th rioters were less destructive by a huge margin, no fires were set, and no one was murdered in spite of what they claim, and yet many of them are still in prison and more are being tried and convicted four years later.

Donald Trump is being bludgeoned by laws that are being twisted and distorted by unscrupulous prosecutors and presided over by activist judges. The law being the law, you are trapped by it exactly like a spider traps its prey. Once the victim is in the web, and the more they try to free themselves, they run out of money, like the spider’s prey runs out of energy and falls prey to the predator. A court of law can be transformed into a virtual “meat grinder” and the defendant can lose his or her entire life’s work, home, savings, everything, and even if you somehow manage to crawl back and eventually win, you will never get your stuff back. It can be amazingly cruel.

Biden and his cronies have turned the law into a nuclear weapon to destroy anyone connected with MAGA or suspected of being connected with MAGA. Have you noticed they are very careful to not use the word Republicans? Republicans after all are a valid political party, and attempting to destroy the Republican party would be looked upon with great disdain. And, a lot of Republicans think like Democrats, but those MAGA folks are terrorists, see what they did on January 6th? Donald Trump and his whole organization are the leaders of the MAGA movement, they have to be destroyed no matter what. They are a dire threat to democracy. It has to be true, Joe Biden and MSM said so.

The list of Trump associates that have been destroyed by Bidens DOJ is long, and it just keeps growing. Mike Lindell and his company “My Pillow” has been the target of the left for supporting Donald Trump and has suffered greatly. Woke companies Walmart, Kohls, J.C.Penney, Wayfair, Bed Bath and Beyond, and others have refused to carry his products for purely political reasons. Dominion and Smartmatic voting systems are suing him for defamation which they will undoubtedly win, and My Pillow will probably go down in flames. Vigorously participating in politics today can be a dangerous undertaking. Side note, we have My Pillow pillows in our home and our RV and love them, best pillows we ever owned bar none.

Did you ever think in a million years that you would see the FBI coming down on parents protesting school board policies? A father is upset about his daughter being raped on school property, they tried to cover it up, and the father ends up being arrested for loudly complaining and accusing them of the cover up. How the hell did a school board get this much power over parents? By the way, the school boards are subjecting children to drag queens (AKA sexual perverts) and getting protection from the local police departments to keep parents from disrupting the shows. The law is turning our world upside down. The good guys are bad, the bad guys are good.

Roger Stone, Rudy Guliani, Mike Lindell, Steve Bannon, Allen Weisselberg, Peter Navarro, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Elliot Broidy, Carter Page, and more than 1,000 people in connection with January 6th have been prosecuted, or they are facing prosecution from Biden’s corrupt DOJ. Trump himself has been indicted at least four times. Does anyone with a sound mind actually think these charges were actually justified? Of course they weren’t. They are kangaroo court bullshit meant to intimidate and harass these individuals. But there is another motive, and that my friends, is to discourage others from working with Trump in the future. I don’t know the identities, but I have read that Trump has difficulty finding attorneys that will work for him, because of the intimidation factor. While attempting to paint Trump and his supporters as being corrupt, they themselves are being exposed as actually being the ones that are corrupt. It has been revealed that Fani Willis earns a base salary of about $110,000.00 per year as a D.A. She rakes in an additional 1.5 million from “various sources”. Willis’s wealth includes 5 million in real estate, including 300 acres in Utah, and four bedroom Villa in Georgia, property in Maui, and two properties in Houston, TX. Plus, she owns eight cars. On top of this, she claims she keeps about 10K in cash in her home. Her net worth is reported to be around 8M. Let that all sink in for a moment, and tell me that doesn’t warrant an investigation into this woman’s business affairs. My guess, is that she is very good at siphoning off money from government funding, that comes through her office. I don’t know that as a fact, but it is a very common practice among people in her position.

So, the DOJ and FBI can very rapidly bring charges against Trump and his supporters for stuff that mostly falls under the heading of misdemeanors, prosecute them, or attempt to prosecute them, and they can’t seem to bring themselves to charge Hunter Biden with anything, even as minor as being an unlicensed foreign agent? Joe Biden willfully took classified documents, stored them in unsecure locations, shared them with a ghost writer ( who claims he destroyed them) . Joe Biden wasn’t even allowed to have these in his possession as a senator, he essentially stole classified government documents. That is a felony all day long. The verdict from the DOJ Inspector General was that even though he was guilty of doing this, no jury would convict him, being an old man with a failing mind. This sounds a bit like the reasoning of Jim Comey regarding the Hillary Clinton email scandal. It’s the way things work, and not likely to change as long as you have a (D) behind your name. I literally laugh out loud when one of these sanctimonious assholes say; “no one is above the law”, when every single Democrat party politician is actually above the law. It is one of the biggest lies ever told, and is repeated over and over, and everyone knows it’s a lie.

But one of the things that irritates me most about these lying bastards, is they do it with a backdrop of American flags. They do this because they think it gives their lies validity. No, what it does is desecrate our glorious flag. These slimy dirtbags are not real Americans, the real Americans are the hardworking men and women that obey the law, work every day, make families, and make this nation function. Police officers, fire fighters, doctors, nurses, business owners, clergymen, and all of the other folks that make sure we have power, water, and essentials for life. And most of all, military personnel that stand ready to defend the nation and it’s people whenever, wherever needed.

Remember this, every single day; what you see the law doing to their political opponents can easily be done to you if you do something that opposes their agenda. I don’t know a single person personally who could financially withstand a legal assault like what they are doing to Trump and his supporters. The slimy dirtbags know this, they want to scare you into being quiet. They want to scare you into going along without a fight. Your government is the biggest bully you will ever face, bar none, and they will not be prosecuted if they kill you in the process. Ask Ashley Babbit’s family.

OUT OF TIME

Sorry I haven’t been posting recently, I am involved in a large project that is taking every hour of the day, and by night, I am not interested in spending any more time gazing at my computer and pounding on the keyboard. I am doing stair design on a multi building apartment complex, and it is draining my brain.

Now that I am done whining, I saw a video just minutes ago that encapsulates all of the problems we are facing today under the Biden administration, and I just had to share it with you. It is the Peter Navarro press conference he held before entering prison for his run-in with the Democrats.

In Biden’s world, this could be you or me, or a family member. Pay attention.

ENRAGED

This evening, I had a little project I was working on at the kitchen table, and my wife was watching Sean Hannity. (I wouldn’t watch Sean if my life depended on it). This is how this whole thing got started. I listened to guest after guest, plus Sean Hannity talking about all of the latest events in the news describing them in detail. I thought I was going to lose my ever-loving mind. I told my wife all those meatheads do is talk, talk, talk, nobody ever does a damn thing. This entire country is going down in flames and everyone stands around talking about as if they are spectators, recording a disaster on their cell phones. I absolutely hate it. In that particular moment, I felt outraged by what these assholes have done to the United States of America, my home. The outrage didn’t go away. The more I thought about, the madder I got. I said to myself; self, you have to get this off your chest tonight. So here you go.

I was outraged that the dumbass Roosevelt, and the wacky Churchill and their lame ass cohorts made the genius decision to divide up Berlin at the end of WW2. Russia fought a long hard war against the Nazis but the US was the sledge hammer that dealt the final blow. We kicked the German’s asses in France, Italy, North Africa, and their home country, while kicking ass all over the Pacific. Another one of many stupid moves by politicians that sit back on their sorry asses while young, brave soldiers slog through mud and blood, and dead bodies to bring them their trophies. I hate politicians of all stripes, they are liars, cheats, and two faced mongrels.

I was outraged that our Supreme court felt is necessary to capitulate to the wacko woman responsible for banning prayers in public schools. Madalyn Murray O’Hare was a nut. She was an atheist and holocaust denier, and just unhappy about most everything. She became the most hated woman in America, not sure why the Supreme court didn’t also bear some weight of that hatred. They’ve been wrong a lot. In the end, mad woman Madalyn was murdered for her deeds, and her family was ripped apart. She tried to blame it on her son, her son said nonsense, it was all her doing. Everything she said was untrue. In the end she and her son, and granddaughter were murdered by their former American Atheist’s associates. So basically a blob of scum rose to the surface, and the over zealous idiotic judges were quick to give it validity.

I’m enraged that the money hungry neocons that feed at the trough of the military industrial complex keep starting wars which kill and maim our young men and women. I’m enraged when I see the Wounded Warrior and Tunnels to Towers commercials and see those beautiful young people that are missing limbs, and suffering from horrendous burns. I really hope the people responsible for these useless wars burn in hell and suffer massively for the massive suffering they have caused.

I’m enraged at what these demented scumbags are doing to our children. Forcing them to think about topics of sexuality long before they should. They are stealing their childhood and their innocence for no good reason other than some depraved reasons of their own. School administrators and teachers need to stick to giving our youngsters a basic education, so they can read and write, and be proficient in math, and leave the sex education to their parents. Kids will naturally find their own way in the world of sexual relations. The last thing we need is some so-called disinterested third party substituting ideology in place of real education.

I’m enraged at what society is doing to our young men. Nobody makes the point better than Jordan Peterson.

I’m enraged by how this “woke” society is actively trying to push the white majority into irrelevance. Everyone is playing along, the colleges and universities, the media, and the federal government acting as the main player. When was the last time you saw a commercial for a major corporation featuring white folk? They will try to convince you that the white population didn’t contribute one ounce of labor to the construction of this nation, that is was all done on the backs of the blacks, browns and yellows. That’s pure bullshit, I was there, I witnessed white men and women laboring in the fields, on construction sites, and doing all sorts of laborious tasks. White men and women working in the factories, and dying on the battlefields in far greater numbers than minorities. I’ve seen the white men emerge from the coal mines covered in coal dust, eventually dying from lung disease, working to keep this country moving. I’ve seen many road crews in the summer time working in the blistering heat of Oklahoma, the majority of them white men. White men erected the giant steel structures that define New York, Chicago and every other major metropolitan area. They built the massive hydroelectric dams all across this nation. So now that all of this has been created, by hard working white men and women, and everyone is enjoying the benefits of their initiative and ingenuity, they want us to all go away. Well, as far as I’m concerned, they can kiss my old white ass.

I’m enraged by the federal government weaponizing our court system and justice department to strip us of our Constitutional rights and silence us through censorship. It’s a known fact that the feds threatened the social media companies with huge fines if they didn’t silence conservative voices. It is vicarious censorship and a total disregard for the first amendment. By doing this across all normal media outlets, they were able to tilt the playing field to allow a incompetent candidate with serious mental decline to win an election he would have otherwise lost majorly. This is no longer a democracy, not even close.

I’m enraged the feds have elected to no longer enforce our borders and are allowing people from all over the world to simply walk in with no restrictions. My grandson’s wife is a Romanian immigrant, they paid over $10,000.00 for lawyers and government fees in order for her to attain her citizenship. They finally achieved this goal after several years. They are the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl and they want her mom to visit and spend a few months with them. The feds are resisting their requests. In the meantime, we have violent lawbreakers roaming our city streets, stealing property, raping and killing Americans, and the feds don’t seem to really care. My wife is a British immigrant, it took her years and thousands of dollars to obtain her citizenship. How do you think it makes these people feel when the feds allow people to just walk across the border, and then start paying them $2,500.00 per month, plus phone and lodging. We have a friend that worked hard her whole life, and she only receives about $1,200.00 per month and lives like a pauper. If you’re not outraged by how the federal government treats American citizens, you should be.

I’m enraged by the hands- off treatment of criminals. I’m enraged by the lack of support for our men and women in law enforcement. Why aren’t more people standing up and saying, hell no, you’re not going to do this? No bail for criminals is criminal in itself, putting average citizens in grave danger. The more you allow these people to walk out of jail after committing a crime, the more crime they are going to commit. Orderly and safe societies depend on strict law enforcement. How did we get here?

Believe me, I could go on for days writing this article, because they are dismantling our country that millions of great men and women lost their lives defending. The glorious American flag that waves in the breeze at my front door is placed there with love and remembrance of those great warriors. It’s placed there to declare to the world that I subscribe to the ideas and ideals laid down in our founding documents. Even at my advanced age, I would defend this great nation in whatever manner possible. If I died in the process, it would be an honor.

God bless all of the true Americans, those that salute our great flag with a lump in their throats and a tear in their eye. That feel the pain and suffering of those great souls that stood fast in the face of impending danger knowing they may not survive. I feel small when I think of those men that stormed the beaches, and nearly froze to death in the great “battle of the bulge”. Freedom is more than just a word, the price to preserve true freedom is never paid in full.

God bless America, God bless Americans. Stay safe, stay free.

POLITICALLY INCORRECT CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE OF CURRENT NEWS EVENTS

I TOLD YOU SO, AGAIN AND AGAIN.

I’m not going to go back through the mountains of blogs that I have written over the past couple of years, but in that stack of cyber rage, I have told you again and again that Covid 19 was created by the government, to be released for the express purpose, to completely upset the balance of power in the world, and especially within the United States. It worked beautifully, as planned. The perfect subject matter of a writer like Tom Clancy or Ian Flemming.

The cast of villains is headed up by a very small unassuming individual that you would never guess was total evil, Anthony Fauci. To do something this massive and this complicated there are a lot of moving parts, and a lot of players. So eventually things start to unravel. But the government has a way of dealing with that, they seal the records forever, as in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Well, they are up to that old trick again as you will see in the video I am providing for you from my favorite Mad Dog Englishman.

I am especially interested in this, because my younger brother died from Covid 19. He died in the Intensive Care unit of Columbia University hospital. The reason he died was simple, they would not administer any therapeutic medicine, instead put him on a ventilator, and he died three days later. A healthy individual, normal weight, and no comorbidities. They would not let his family be by his side, locked them out. He would have died alone had it not been for my rebellious nephew who broke in and took his Mom with him. My story is not an isolated one, thousands of loved ones died alone because of these heartless monsters.

Nobody will ever convince me, that the release of this terrible disease was not intentional. Hope you enjoyed the video, I will not let this rest, so you can expect me to re-visit this terrible event again when more news becomes available.

Stay safe, stay vigilant, stay free. God bless all of you and our glorious nation.
