THE MOST DISMAL CHRISTMAS IN MY MEMORY.

We attended our annual company Christmas party last night, (yep, I am still employed as old as I am), and it was fantastic. Our shop is in a huge building, and they turn one section of it into a giant kiddies playground, a huge buffet, and they even have a DJ and light show for the older kids. It was indeed a great experience to see over a hundred folks enjoying the evening with friends and co-workers. They handed out gifts and dozens of cans of “Silly String” to all of the kids, you can imagine what happened next.

On the way to the party, my wife and I stopped at a local Shari’s restaurant to pick up a couple of pies for the buffet. When my wife returned to the car, she said the place was virtually empty at 5:30 on Saturday evening. She said the server told her it’s getting increasingly difficult to just stay open without customers. After attending the party for an hour or so, we headed back south to the “ranch” and stopped in at our favorite comfort food establishment, “Black Bear Diner” and grabbed some good old cholesterol laden vittles. This restaurant is quite large and was virtually empty. My wife loves prime rib, which they normally serve on Saturday evening, nope, not serving it anymore. The menu still looks the same, but certain items are no longer available. Simply not enough available customers to support the higher end food selections. My wife had a New York steak, I had fish and chips (all you can eat sea food platter is long gone) We topped it off with a blackberry cobbler with ice cream (a share dish). Keep in mind, this was “run of the mill” food, nothing exotic or special, no alcoholic beverages, and our total bill was $78.00. At that point, it became abundantly clear why Shari’s and the Black Bear Diner have a lot of empty booths. By the way, a Shari’s pie used to cost about 7 or 8 dollars, is now $15.00. The bill at the Black Bear was exactly twice what we paid about a year ago.

About two years ago, the geniuses here in Oregon (Democrats of course) decided that the minimum wage should be raised to $15.00 per hour, along with a few other costly items that employers were going to have to provide. We used to be able to buy a cheeseburger, regular sized fries and drink for around five bucks. Carl’s Jr. now charges $13.00 for that combination. It’s virtually impossible for us to get out of the local food market for under $150.00 for a weeks’ worth of regular stuff for two folks. I’m actually excited to see the price of regular gas down the $3.49 per gallon. That’s exactly one dollar more per gallon that we were paying during the Trump years.

Here is the bad part. These prices are never going down again. If anything, they will be going up in the future. Your income is not going to be able to catch up, and your life is going to become a lot different.

Your favorite restaurants, your local service companies, the small community specialty shops, they are going to slowly disappear because people can no longer afford to patronize them. The companies that will survive will be ones selling cheap goods made in China and other Asian companies, while American companies are being economically strangled. Auto manufacturers are having to deal with ever more stringent government mandates, including providing costly electric vehicles which most people don’t want, and all of that cost is being added on to new ICE cars which you can no longer afford. I was talking to a friend in the auto repair business, and he said none of his customers own their cars anymore. They just make never ending payments. Buying an older good quality used car is a much wiser choice today.

The government is determined to kill internal combustion cars forever. In the future you will see a concerted effort to make all of the old classic and antique cars disappear through all sorts of government regulations that will make it virtually impossible to maintain them. Insurance companies in Europe are partnering with the government to make insurance premiums on classic cars so high it’s obscene. Parts stores in the US have stopped stocking parts for cars over ten years old. It’s only going to get worse.

I’m sure you remember a few short years ago when American corporations were doing everything possible to win you over to their products and services. These same corporations are now conspiring against you, in partnership with the federal government to control the way you think and act. Did you ever think General Mills or Walt Disney productions would become your enemy? Did you ever think Target would be trying to influence your child’s behavior. Did you ever think in your wildest dreams that Children’s Hospitals would be sexually mutilating kids? This is all really sick stuff.

The people in my neighborhood are feeling the same way. Although we only know a few of them, they are showing their feelings by not decorating their homes for Christmas in the way they have in the past. People are being hurt by this current bunch of morons in DC, and the hurt is going to continue for a good long while. So, yep, it’s dismal and discouraging to watch our precious nation being ripped apart by some of the most inept and dishonest people I have ever seen in my lifetime.

Our company party last night was filled with folks having fun, enjoying each other, and for a few hours not thinking about the struggles they face. That is what we need to do, find solace in our friends and families, and not let ourselves be destroyed by these vile actors. The future of this country depends on strong people willing to “tough” their way through the hard times ahead and build a better future.

Gather with your family and friends and bask in the glory of God and his son Jesus Christ, focus on what really matters, and recreate your happiness. This life is only for a short time, eternity is what matters, and deserves your full attention.

SORRY CHARLIE, IT’S NOT RINGING TRUE IN MY BRAIN.

Charlie Kirk posted a video on YouTube five days ago, watch it and then read my comments and think about it.

First things first, I totally agree with Charlie when it comes to Nikki Haley. She makes me want to cringe every time I see and hear her speak. Sorta like Hillary only different. Charlie says that Vievek is the youngest and most conservative candidate on the debate stage, again, I agree. Here is where we part ways. Charlie says young people are increasingly becoming conservatives because the current state of the union is not allowing them to participate due home prices being out of their reach, the cost of living is astronomical, and they just can’t get any traction.

From my observations over the past few years, I think young people are leaning more toward socialism, based on the very same reasons. They feel that capitalism is preventing them from having a seat at the table.

Fast rewind to the last Democrat presidential primary. Who was leading the pack? Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders would have easily beat out Joe Biden. Why? He had a huge following of young people that subscribed 100% to his message. They didn’t want to hear Joe Biden ramble on about record players and domestic violence. They wanted a major change in the way the game is being played, feeling they had a better chance under a socialist government.

All of you know I’m really old, older than old Joe but in much better shape. I bought my first home when I was 21 years old, a four room tract house for $7,000.00. I was working in a steel shop earning a whopping $2.25 per hour. My wife was a stay-at-home mom. If you amortize a $7,000.00 loan for thirty years at 6.5% interest, I was able to make the payments and still have decent car and food on the table.

A five room house today in the same neighborhood will cost you $148.00 per square foot or about $290,000.00 plus. Now I’m not great at math, but I calculate that as being roughly about 41 times more than it was in 1961. I’m going to guess that the payment for a $290,000.00 loan is going to be around $2,500.00 per month after a 15% down payment. Good rule of thumb is that your monthly income should be four times the amount of your payment. That means you have to have a gross income of about $10,000.00 per month to qualify, or about $63.00 per hour. That’s a big nut to crack to for a single income family. If husband and wife are both working, it’s still a big nut to crack when you add in two cars and household expenses. Add a couple of kiddies and it starts getting really tough. By the way average American wages today are about $59,000.00 per year or about $4,900.00 per month. You don’t have to be a mathematician to figure out that the picture isn’t exactly rosy.

So, a young adult coming out of college with a hefty student loan has to be looking at this as being highly unlikely for them to participate in the American dream. A reality check will tell them, it’s not likely to improve, ever. Socialism is starting to look like a lot better deal, with government funded housing among a host of other government provided services.

I don’t have to tell you that socialism is not the answer. So, what is the answer, and how did we get in this big mess? You can safely lay the blame on the United States Capitol steps. Inept politicians, steeped in greed, have brought us to this unpleasant place in time. Now they are exacerbating the problem by allowing hordes of uneducated, illegal aliens to flood across the borders creating even more need for welfare and higher taxes, in order to sustain the added burden of unproductive people. Now just for good measures throw in three or four military conflicts to fund, around the world. Joe Biden and the Democrats never stop talking about more taxes, you never hear them mention cutting spending. They just can’t seem to get enough of your money to spend.

I know several older folks that depend on social security to survive. One of them in particular barely exists on $1,200.00 per month. She worked hard during her life raised a couple of kids, good citizen, great American. Lives in an old folks home. An illegal alien that arrived a month ago is given a hotel room in a nice building, $2,400.00 per month in spending money, food stamps, and other goodies including free medical care. Is this the EQUITY they are constantly referring to?

Nope sorry Charlie, the country is really fucked up, and the Republicans are not doing a damn thing to help it. I really like you dude, but you’re not living in reality. The reality is that this country is on a steep slide to hell, and it’s picking up speed. If you watched the press conference today with Mitch McConnel and the senate Republicans any hope you may have had just got annihilated. It’s utterly hopeless.

POLITICALLY INCORRECT, CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE.

COMPARING THE DEPTH OF THE LIES YOU ARE BEING TOLD, TO THE GRAND CANYON, THE GRAND CANYON WOULD BE CRACK IN YOUR SIDEWALK.

This documentary is almost two hours long but will leave you stunned by the level of lies you were told about this event and the level of corruption in the court system. I started watching this last night and couldn’t turn it off until it was over. I was awestruck by the overwhelming evil present in the Democrat party. If you haven’t seen this before, be sure to schedule some time for it, you won’t be disappointed. You may be thoroughly pissed off like I was. Pleasant dreams America.

POLITICALLY INCORRECT CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE.

We used to have a tea pot years ago, that had a little steam port in the spout that whistled when the water was steaming hot and ready for tea. You could always tell when the old tea pot was ready to “blow” a few minutes beforehand, because it made a funny rattling sound and got louder just before the steam whistle began. I think like the old tea pot, our nation is making that funny rattling sound right now, and it’s getting louder daily. I have that “gut feeling” that things are getting ready to “blow”.

Virtually everything you are hearing on the news is an outright lie. The policies the federal government are putting in place, are based on outright lies. If you want to know how serious this is, you have to watch the video “The Fall of Minneapolis” on YouTube. It documents how the left manipulated the death of George Floyd in order to make major changes in the law and society. George Floyd died from cardiac arrest brought on by an abundance of drugs in this system, but the FBI and the state of Minnesota altered the autopsy to make it look like strangulation. The rest is history.

SUSPICIONS CONFIRMED

Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the most hated women in congress. If you want to know who she is and why she is hated so much, watch the interview with Tucker Carlson below.

If you listen to what MTG is saying, she is verifying how powerful the military industrial complex is, and how much influence it has in our government. I’m not sure how we will ever reign in that power. It may be impossible at this point without an all out revolution, which will, in the end, destroy the country. Our nation is fully in the grip of money-grubbing politicians willing to sell their souls for who knows what? Also, she talks about the “out in the open” comments about going to war with China. How in the world does anyone with a functioning brain think that will work out well in the end? The people in power, across the board, Democrats and Republicans, are nothing but fools.

MTG also mentions how the “Green New Deal” is being silently initiated by the feds. In case you aren’t aware of what the “Green New Deal” is all about, you may be surprised it’s not about climate, or the environment, it’s all about restructuring the US economy. It’s all about a power grab, making you more dependent on the federal government.

https://www.congress.gov/116/bills/hres109/BILLS-116hres109ih.pdf

Read this and be terrified. This is being implemented without ever being voted on, or signed into law. Yep, and the Republicans are just going along as if everything is fine and dandy, nothing to see here.

THE USA IS CURRENTLY A RUDDERLESS VESSEL, ADRIFT IN STORMY WATERS.

If you are paying attention, our so-called President is totally useless, being led around by handlers, placed in front of a microphone and teleprompters, and he still can’t muster an intelligent speech. The feds are constantly rolling out new regulations and programs that are clearly not being created by Joe Biden, he is incapable of doing anything that rises to that level of creative thought processes. I’m 82 years old, and he is giving us old guys a bad reputation. I live in a two-story house and I have never fallen up or down the stairs.

This country is being governed by a committee or cartel, whatever you wish to call it, but it ain’t Joe. Someone with a brain needs to take command soon before it’s too late. This is pretty obvious to the rest of the world, and it puts us in a very precarious position.

Something else for you to chew on; Pennsylvania just modified its voting laws making it virtually impossible to invalidate a ballot for any reason. Signatures don’t have to match, no dates or I.D.s required. They have totally destroyed the integrity of the voting system. How many blue states are going to follow? As many as possible. If you think free and fair elections are ever going to exist again, I have some bad news for you. They’re over.

I don’t have enough time or space left to talk about the devastation that is going to be caused by four years of an open border. It is going to be monumental, the effects will unfold over the next twenty years, in very ugly ways. If you want to see a preview, look at Europe, it’s going to be repeated right here at home. It will touch the lives of every single American in some way, none of it good. Immigration only works if it’s well regulated and the immigrants are vetted. If you think I am wrong, I challenge you to remove the locks from your doors and leave the keys in your cars. I’ll check back with you in a few months.

VETERANS DAY

This day evokes a lot of different emotions in my brain. Sometime in my later life, I crossed a line, can’t tell you when, but I started thinking a lot differently about this day. I recently attended a military vehicle show, drove my 80 year old Dodge shown above, and witnessed one of the most dramatic flag raising ceremonies I have ever seen. A color guard presented the flag and raised it to position, and a bugler flawlessly played the Star-Spangled Banner. Not a trumpet, a military bugle. A bit different. I can tell you standing amidst the antique military vehicles and watching this caused the old man to tear up a bit. I love my country and its people.

I have the utmost respect for our warriors, past and present. I was not one of them, unable to serve due to a football injury when I was twelve years old. But my heart has always been with these guys that literally stare death in the eye every single day. Imagine standing in one of the landing crafts approaching Omaha Beach knowing your chances of survival are slim to none, but when the door drops, you charge forward regardless. I can’t fathom the terror these young men felt at that moment.

Probably the most brutal 30 odd days in a soldier’s life was being involved in the “Battle of the Bulge”. I have read numerous eye watering accounts of what that brief space of time was like for these men, it was absolutely terrible conditions and deadly assaults by German infantry units. If you weren’t killed by enemy fire, you could easily freeze to death or lose your extremities to “frost bite”. In a time span of just over one month, the U.S. Army experienced over 70,000 casualties. My late father-in-law was a tank driver during that battle under Gen. George Patton. I hate it because I didn’t spend more time with him and learn more about his experiences in that great battle. That’s what people mean when the refer to being “young and dumb”. I literally missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

In the first paragraph, I mentioned about crossing a line in my thoughts about Veterans Day. I suddenly became much more sensitive and thoughtful about combat soldiers. I started thinking about how I would react to waking up every morning, with the realization I was going to face a lot of people that were intent on killing me, or causing great bodily harm as in losing arms and legs. What kind of impact does that have on your brain after two plus years? How do you deal with coming home to your friends and family after that experience. You must live in total paranoia just walking down the street in your home town after two years of constantly being hyper vigilant. I have never faced anything remotely like this, it’s hard for me to really imagine what it must be like.

Now my thoughts turn political. In my opinion, the last really valid war we fought, that was strategically necessary, was the Korean conflict. That made sense to me for many different reasons. Viet Nam, first Iraq war, second Iraq war, Afghanistan, in my mind were created by Washington D.C. neocons and the military industrial complex for purposes that had nothing to do with preserving freedom in the homeland. In my opinion they were nothing more than financial endeavors to enrich the D.C. war mongers.

My opinion expressed above, only make my feelings deeper for our veterans. These young people willingly signed on the dotted line, fulfilling their strong patriotic devotion to the USA to fight wars without merit, with no real end game. Every single one of the wars I just mentioned, the US Government, simply withdrew the forces, and walked away after spending enormous blood and treasure. That sends a very strong message to the warriors that the government never had any intention of victory. Why does a warrior fight if not for the glory of victory? A glaring example of this was the withdraw from Afghanistan, giving up, leaving millions of dollars of equipment, and abandoning one of our most Stategic airfields in the world.

Do you know what happens when you achieve a major military victory? Huge celebrations, with ticker tape parades, thousands of people gathering at seaports and airports to welcome the victors. The entire nation celebrates. That hasn’t happened since 1946. Need I say more? We have been fighting and losing useless wars for 77 years. It needs to stop. We need to quit sacrificing our young men and women to the gods of the almighty military industrial complex and greedy politicians.

God bless the young men and women who fought valiantly with honor and dignity. God damn the war mongers for the death and lifelong disabilities they suffered. God damn the monsters that would shred our constitution these brave men and women died to preserve.

As a nation we owe these valiant warriors far more than they receive. A huge thank you to all of the organizations that have been created to help our veterans cope with life after serving. God bless all of you that support these great organizations.

THE OLD ORANGE CAT

From the time I was a small boy child growing up in Oklahoma, I was constantly watching, and learning about life. I’m not sure if all kids do this, but I was very curious about most everything. One of the things I have noticed, is that the lives of humans and domestic animals are very similar. Especially in the area of behavior. The absence of teaching and discipline have exactly the same outcomes. Untrained and undisciplined animals are as you would expect, unruly and dangerous. Pretty much the same applies to humans.

I have owned a lot of cats in my life. Actually, that’s untrue. I have acquired numerous cats as kittens and allowed them to share my home while they grew up and became adult cats. I couldn’t actually say I ever owned a cat; I don’t think anyone owns cats. Cats can be very affectionate, or they can be extremely aloof. Usually, the latter. They can be very benign creatures or very destructive. I laugh when people tell me their cat is lost. I tell ’em, nope, your cat just decided to move and didn’t tell you. Cats are probably on average the most disloyal creatures you will ever encounter. If they were people they would turn you in to the authorities if it meant they got a bigger house to live in. Do I hate cats? Nope I love cats. I love ’em for what and who they are. If they had a middle finger, you would likely see it displayed often. That’s why I love ’em. They are very much capable of living on their own, they don’t need humans to feed them, they’re great hunters. They just hang with you, ’cause it’s easier. But they don’t really need you. If cats could talk, they would tell you that.

So, back to my point about behavior parallels. I have lived in my home for about 18 years. Quite a few years ago, a beaten-up old orange cat appeared in our neighborhood. Don’t have any idea if it’s male or female, so I’ll assume it’s male. He walks with a slight limp, his ears are bent, looks like he’s been in a few fights. He’s a loner, doesn’t appear to be part of anyone’s family. He has long scruffy orange hair. He is one of those cats with a flat face and looks like he’s frowning all the time. He will not come anywhere near you.

We have the traditional single older “cat lady” in our neighborhood that has four cats in her house and leaves her garage open slightly so the neighborhood cats can come in out of the cold and heat for drinks and snacks. So, she has named this old orange cat “Mango”. She says he hisses at her if she approaches him, but he’s happy to take her food, and she even has a little place for him to rest. Over the past several months, he has started spending the nights in our outdoor chairs on our front porch. She asked me not to hurt him, which I found sort of funny since I am not known for mistreating animals, in fact just the opposite.

The bottom line is that his old orange cat walked into our neighborhood from who knows where, established a place to eat, and sleep with the local single lady, if he chooses. He has set up an alternate place of rest on my front porch. Has an attitude that keeps people and dogs at a distance. (has no fear of dogs) I can probably name at least a half dozen human beings that have parallel behaviors. I’m sure you can as well.

STOP, STEP BACK, AND ACCESS THE SITUATION

There is so much chaos going on in the world today, it clouds your brain and blinds you so that you can’t see the overall picture. Ukraine is battling Russia, and there are abundant rumors that Vladimer Putin is near death or may already be dead. Iran is funding Hamas and Hezbollah and striking out at US troops in Syria. Nobody has a clue as to why we have US troops in Syria in the first place. Russia is making threats about launching a campaign against Nato nations. Israel is decimating Gaza in an effort to rout out Hamas and the Arabs around the world are in a giant tizzy. There are hundreds of small skirmishes going on around the world.

The Democrats are hell bent on destroying the Republicans any way possible. Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA are stirring up as much trouble as possible at any given point in time. Transwomen hate real women. Straight folks hate trans people for good reasons. Most everyone except people with warped brains have great disdain for drag queens, and for good reasons, they are vile and gross. Climate weirdos are trying to kill farming, and cause famines (they aren’t smart enough to realize it) they think supermarkets are the actual source of food. They haven’t figured it out that food comes from farming.

Democrats and media personalities hate anyone that does not live on the east or west coast. Just about everyone hates California. Drivers hate each other and are constantly getting into altercations with each other. Hell, people can’t even get along in checkout lines in the grocery stores. Poor people and rich people hate each other in equal amounts. Airplanes, cruise ships and theme parks have turned into battlegrounds.

Chevy drivers hate Ford drivers and vice versa. Just about everyone hates semi trucks, but can’t live without them. All of the stuff I highlighted above is what drives the news cycles day after day. It’s no wonder people are looking for ways to check out of this nonsense we are living in.

The people in the free world are engaging in activities that are borderline insane. They are playing with the possibilities of getting into nuclear altercations. They are draining their financial resources chasing their tales. They are slowly spending themselves into oblivion.

Now, here is where the clear vision comes in. Do you see China involved in any stupid military actions anywhere? Do you see any Chinese soldiers and equipment in the middle east? Oh, they are acting out in the South China sea, but only to continue to cause America to spend millions of dollars for absolutely nothing. It doesn’t cost much to taunt and show off. They are doing this in their own front yard. Do you hear of any racial strife in China? Do you think they are having debates about gender and transgender restrooms and transgenders in women’s sports? Are fringe groups rioting and burning cities in China? Nope, China is simply sitting back, and putting it’s money in strategic locations, buying large chunks of real estate around the globe. They are quietly waiting on the rest of the world to destroy itself with greed and hate.

The USA has stupidly transferred a huge chunk of its industrial might to China in a quest for riches. By doing so, the US is now very dependent on China for most essential products. So, while the US government is quickly driving us over the cliff financially, China collects big interest off of loans to Uncle Sam. The US politicians have sold the farm, and the real owners, the American people are left holding the bag once again.

China has very cleverly put themselves in in the “cat bird seat” with the help of the Americans. I have said this before, China will step into world leadership without ever firing a missile or a cannon. The rest of the world will be too broke to fight, both financially and spiritually. It was one hell of a ride while it lasted. It might be a good idea for you younger folks to buy the Chinese version of Babble and learn to speak Chinese.

You may wonder where I came up with the idea for this blog. Well, I watched the news for about 8.25 minutes, came very close to vomiting, before I switched to YouTube and watched a Kid Rock concert. It helped me see things more clearly. I rarely have a desire to be lied to, but when I do, I watch cable news. Thats because I’m too old to date. Have a great weekend, go buy more Cheap Chinese crap, and enjoy it while drinking Kentucky Bourbon. The state of the union looks better through a glass of bourbon.

VOLUME 46

WASHINGTON D.C., THE LARGEST GATHERING OF MYOPIC INDIVIDUALS IN THE WORLD.

Myopic definition: lacking imagination, foresight or intellectual insight. Synonym: Narrow minded. (As in not being able to see beyond political party lines).

TYPICAL EXAMPLES OF LUNACY

Defund the Police.

This is a totally insane idea supported by the Democrat party. Any rational person with an I.Q. above the common piss ant automatically rejects this nonsense, knowing it puts their lives and possessions in jeopardy. When the local gangsta car jacker guy sees you driving your high-end BMW through the city, he doesn’t give a rat’s ass what your political affiliation is, he wants your car….period. So, the Democrat morons voluntarily put themselves in danger to secure the votes of the people most likely to hurt them.

No Cash Bail.

The lefties see cash bail as discrimination against poor folks. While this could actually have some merit in a rare case, as in a person of lesser means is accused of a crime they didn’t commit, and is unable to post bail in order to prove their innocence. However, this is more likely to free repeat offenders, and allow them to go free to commit even more crimes. Cash bail was created to keep the perp in the “slammer’ until his trial to prevent more nefarious deeds, like perhaps intimidating victims and witnesses. Cash bail is a wise and good idea. It’s being proven to be true daily.

“Easy on Crime” prosecutors.

Most, if not all of these “shit for brains” political zealots have been put in office through the efforts of George Soros, one of the most dangerous men in America. When you couple no cash bail with prosecutors like George Gascon of Los Angeles, you are giving a big green light to criminals that it’s OK to “keep on truckin”. It is ripping America apart at the seams, and it’s exactly what they intend to do. The end goal is to destroy America as we know it and replace it with a Communist state. These people are pure evil. But allow me to repeat my previous statement, criminals don’t give a rat’s ass about your political leanings, they want to steal your stuff and hurt you. So, Democrats are not going to be spared in the ensuing chaos.

The Killing of Free Speech.

This will eventually touch everyone regardless of your political beliefs. The left will probably scream the loudest when prosecuted for their speech. If you want to see the profound effects of this, pay close attention to the UK and Canada. I don’t think anyone really wants to live under these conditions. How serious is this? Watch below.

The feds really want you to shut the hell up and let them go about their business no matter how egregious their actions may be. If this goes unchecked, this will quickly fall into a police state where people will be jailed for their speech and opinions. Oh yeah, this will bleed over into the so-called free elections which will no longer be free and fair, but candidates will be chosen by the government by fraudulent means. China disappears their dissenters, Russian dissenters have serious accidents, how will the U.S. government handle it? Oh hell, I forgot about the January 6th protestors. Yep, throw their asses in the slammer and throw away the key. That speedy fair trial thing, no that won’t apply to dissenters.

Strategic Goods and Medical Supplies Manufactured in China

If you really want to know how serious this is, go to your local pharmacy and take a look at the rack with the medications waiting to be picked up. There is an enormous amount of prescription medicine being dispensed. That medication can mean life and death to a lot of folks. The primary function of government to ensure the safety of its citizenry. That said, why would our government allow critical medicines to be manufactured by a country openly hostile to our own? Not only medicines but medical equipment. This sounds sorta similar to Russian Roulette.

A huge amount of machine parts and automobile parts are also manufactured in China, and we have grown quite dependent on them. If the supply chain was suddenly severed it would be catastrophic. I do a lot of repair work on my personal vehicles, and I can’t remember the last time I saw a “Made in USA” on a replacement part. Its not like you have a large choice, this is what parts houses sell. People, this is not a healthy place to be for a nation. The federal government sanctions this behavior.

Energy Production of all types.

Windmill parts: According to Global Wind Energy Council, as of 2022, China manufactures 60 – 65% of wind turbines nacelles and critical components including gearboxes, generators, and blades. China pretty much dominates the wind power industry. It is predicted that China will dominate the EV battery market at least through 2027. China has cornered the market on the minerals, cathodes, and anodes that go into the batteries. Meanwhile, the US is far, far ahead in Transgender restroom construction.

So, how are we doing in solar panel development? Well China makes about 75% of these. Viet Nam, Malaysia, and South Korea make the rest. But don’t be dismayed, we are still years ahead in gender affirming care for three year olds.

We aren’t doing real well in the fossil fuel industry either. Biden has all but depleted the Strategic Oil Reserve to temporarily bring down the cost of gasoline. There are anti fossil fuel forces within the government that make it hard to navigate this energy sector. A lot of oil refineries have been shuttered over the past couple of decades, and heavy government regulations make it too expensive and time consuming to bring them back online or build new ones. There is also a faction that keeps pushing to destroy the trusty hydroelectric dams that have produced reliable power for decades, to save the salmon. If they controlled the seal population in the Columbia River that would go a long way to help the salmon. It seems the environmentalists are far more interested in saving just about every living thing you can think of except humans. Humans seem to be the bottom of the list, go figure.

So, if you put all of these pieces together, it adds up to the US depending on China for just about everything, and phasing out ICE automobiles exacerbates that issue even further. Depending more and more on solar and wind pretty makes us the stepsister in this dog and pony show. Now, to add another layer of horse poop to this picture, the US is funding military operations it can’t afford, and is borrowing money from China to do so. What could possibly go wrong here? Electing John Fetterman to the Senate isn’t really a big deal when you really think about this whole thing in a broader scope.

Well good people, I am out of time, it’s Saturday night and I have a date with my dearly beloved to go hang with our friends, listen to some live music and drink a couple of adult beverages. Stay strong, stay vigilant, put up a good fight. To quote an old Scot, “No worthy man loses his freedom except with his life”.

WELCOME TO THE USSA

The Democrats and the leftist commie pinko Marxists have just about destroyed the cohesive fabric that once bound all Americans together as one Nation. It’s being held together with a few thin threads, and they are reaching the limits of their tensile strength. A lot of theories as to why they are doing this, but there is one simple reason, and one reason only. The Democrat leftists don’t believe people should have any power or say in how the government functions. They don’t think you’re smart enough to do that. They believe in “top down” rule, that the government is omnipotent. They do not want you interfering. Nothing would make them happier than scrapping the underpinnings of this Constitutional Republic and replacing it with one party rule like Russia and China. The Democrat party wants you to worship them and visualize the Capitol Mall as the Democrat “Mecca”.

EXCERPT FROM THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO

The Manifesto concludes that capitalism does not offer humanity the possibility of self-realization, instead ensuring that humans are perpetually stunted and alienated. However, it theorizes that capitalism will bring about its own destruction by polarizing and unifying the proletariat, and predicts that a revolution will lead to the emergence of communism, a classless society in which “the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all”. Marx and Engels propose the following transitional policies: the abolition of private property in land and inheritance; introduction of a progressive income tax; confiscation of rebels’ property; nationalisation of credit, communication and transport; expansion and integration of industry and agriculture; enforcement of universal obligation of labour; and provision of universal education and abolition of child labour. The text ends with a decisive and famous call for solidarity among proletarians, popularized as the slogan “Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains”.

There is one gigantic inherent flaw in the theory of the communist utopian government. The depravity of human beings. Only when leaders are overseen by the citizens, can this be mitigated. If the citizens have no power over the leaders, the corruption of unbridled power almost always leads to disastrous consequences for the citizens.

Considering this fact, why is communism and Marxism always loitering around the front door? Because there are two distinct groups of people. The super aggressive power hungry type, and the “I want a free ride” type. The super aggressive power-hungry folks tell the “free ride” folks they can make their dreams come true. They can have that nice home on a tree lined street like the more successful people because everyone will be equal. They will level the playing field for everyone. This is of course a giant lie, told by the power-hungry folks to gain power. Once they gain power, they are the ones with the big cars, airplanes, and mansions, while the “free ride” folks are housed in a four-room apartment in a drab non-descript 20 story building and forced to take the bus to the government factories. The power people made good on the promise to make everyone equal; equally poor, and oppressed.

My wife’s family was upper middle class in London. She traveled around the world in the 1960’s, at the height of communist rule in Russia. While staying in Yalta, she witnessed Russian factory workers on a “state” vacation on the beach. They were watched over by guards in towers. They were marched on and off the beach, and the guards sounded a horn for their lunch break. She says that traveling across Russia was an eye-opening experience. The people were very poor, the stores were empty, there were no restaurants, people were standing in line for food. She said the people in Yugoslavia were literally dressed in rags. That my friends is the true legacy of communism. Do you think the communist leaders stood in line for food? Do you think they went without? Not on your life.

TURNING AMERICAN NATIONALISTS INTO INTERNATIONALISTS.

Americans are traditionally nationalists. We were taught to be that way from birth. We were taught that America was exceptional and the best of the best. I truly believe that. I will always be a nationalist. Old Glory is my pride flag. There are plenty of stories about how America has abused its power over the years, and I’m sure they are true. The people we put in power don’t always share the core ideals of the American way and go astray. America still stands tall among the rest of the world. But a force from within has been at war with that idea for years and has made steady progress in its destruction.

I read something today that emphasizes what I am saying. Google asks; “What is the difference between nationalism and patriotism.” Google’s answer:

There is a considerable difference between nationalism and patriotism. While nationalism emphasizes a unity of cultural past with inclusion of the language and heritage, patriotism is based on love towards people with a greater emphasis on values and beliefs.

When I analyze Google’s statement, this is my takeaway; Nationalism is a rock, Patriotism is Jello. I would rather live on a rock.

We are now about eighty years away from the time when America’s very existence was being threatened by some very powerful nations attempting to dominate the world. Every American knew how critical their overall contribution was in that effort to prevent that from happening. The younger generations today have no connection to those perilous times. To them, it’s an unimportant event. They have never experienced anything, but prosperity and safety afforded by a strong defense system that was born out of that conflict. They have zero appreciation for the thousands of men and women that died to preserve this nation.

The depreciation of Nationalism lies at the feet of the educational system, all the way from kindergarten through college. They no longer teach American exceptionalism; in fact, they emphasize how terrible America is. America’s educational system has been turned into indoctrination camps. The government and the state run media parrots those ideas and further divides Americans by race, gender, socioeconomic status, and anything else they can conjure up to breed discontent. Their goal is to destroy the unity of the people, making it easier to reach the goal of total government domination. The government is showcasing people with serious mental disorders that think they can magically become the opposite sex by simply claiming it’s true, and shaming the rest of us when we know its B.S. and disrupting normal behavior of 99% of the population, forcing us to share toilets and changing rooms with the opposite sex. That my friends is the very definition of insanity.

Thank you for taking the time to read my rants. I love my country, and I hate the people trying to rip it out of my hands and destroy it for the future generations to love and enjoy. There has to be a special place in hell for those people.

VOLUME 9

POLITICALLY INCORRECT CENTER RIGHT PERSPECTIVE

A GROWING NUMBER OF PEOPLE THINK STUFF SHOULD BE FREE, ALL STUFF, ALL THE TIME.

This is becoming more and more evident as looting and shoplifting continues to spiral out of control. I have been thinking about this a lot, because it bothers me a lot. Because it means civilization is beginning to crack. I like civilized folks, they aren’t likely to take your stuff and hurt you. This phenomenon however seems to me to be fairly complex in one sense, and very simple in another. The simple part is, law enforcement has become impotent due to crazy defund police stuff, and Soros backed DA’s. The complex part is how people have reverted to roving bands of thieves almost overnight.

It didn’t really happen overnight, is has been building over a number of years, and is now in full blossom. So, let’s look back in recent history and try to identify some landmark causes.

At the risk of being labeled as raciest, a huge percentage of these out of control folks are black and brown. If you don’t believe me, watch the footage taken during lootings, and you will quickly realize your observation aligns with mine. The first time I saw this happen was in Los Angeles in 1965 during the Watts Riots. I have the photos to backup what I am saying. I kept news articles from that horrible event. I saw the aftermath in person, it wasn’t a pretty sight.

The sheer brutality and disregard for other human beings was on full display during the Rodney King riot when multiple black men took turns bludgeoning Reginald Denny while he sat helplessly in an intersection, causing brain injuries and life long debilitating injuries. It was at the moment in time, that realized how strong the hatred was among blacks for whites. I was totally naive up to that point. I actually thought racism was winding down, and would soon be a thing of the past. Boy was I wrong.

I don’t think I am in the minority when I say the landmark legislation in 1964 called the Civil Rights Act was the worst thing that ever happened to black Americans. There has been numerous articles written about it, so I am not going to dwell on details. I’m going to give you my opinion of the results, purely based on my personal observations.

In Philadelphia between 1948 and 1952 black men died from homicide at twelve times the rate of white men. It’s gotten a little better today, its dropped to seven to eight times. That is still an unacceptable number of murders. This may not be super current based on what we are seeing in real time. Back in the day, these folks were imprisoned for their bad deeds, often executed. This vicious activity was mostly contained to the inner-city neighborhoods. It is spilling out to larger areas and affecting more people.

My analogy of this may sound stupid and simplistic to some, but I have seen this throughout my life and know it is absolutely true. This is why white families flourished up until the last few decades. It’s the simple rule of discipline, and self discipline, combined with a spiritual grounding, that teaches you to respect other human beings. I’m not implying that white folk didn’t have problems with lawlessness and violence, they most certainly did, but to a much lesser extent. Statistics will prove I’m correct.

How do you train an animal to obey? Simple, you start teaching it from a young age what you want it to do and provide a reward for compliance, and a measure of discipline when it disobeys. It will grow into an adult animal that is trusting, and willing to follow your commands. An untrained or poorly trained animal of large size is unpredictable and dangerous. Animals and people are amazingly alike in this manner.

Human beings must be trained, the same as domestic animals. They need to be taught discipline, respect for others, love and reverence for their Creator, as well as academics. They cannot be left to roam in the streets without these teachings, they will be taught by the worst of people, to do the worst of things. They will steal from you and hurt you. They are spiritually bankrupt and have no empathy for others. That is why they can murder without remorse. That is why they could beat Reginald Denny unmercifully; they had no compassion for another human being.

The Civil Rights act destroyed the black families, and the structure needed by young people to thrive in the family unit and learn the important lessons to succeed in life. It’s only natural that a child that grew up with no discipline, finds it impossible to accept discipline as an adult. That is when things start to get dangerous for everyone this person crosses paths with. Ask the teacher that just got clocked with a chair thrown in the classroom by a young black student.

Another point I can make to solidify my case is what I have seen lately when a gang of black or brown teens gang up on a single person. They knock the person to the ground, and kick and stomp them to death or near death in a violent frenzy not unlike feeding piranhas. This is a total absence of human compassion and respect. It’s an act of temporary insanity.

These are people that look at the property of others and will take it without thinking twice. If they have to hurt you to acquire it, so be it. They are convinced by all of the lenient laws, and leniency shown them by the courts it’s OK, they can have whatever they want, whenever they want it. Don’t try to stand in their way, killing you isn’t a problem. A pre-teen black male recently stole a car and ran over an older female, killing her. When they arrested him, he boasted about getting his “first kill”. This my friends, is as sick as it gets.

Unfortunately, as laws remain in favor of the criminals, especially the bail laws, this isn’t going to improve. Liberal DA’s like George Gascon, and Larry Krasner, will continue to be like pouring gasoline on a raging fire. Crime rates will continue to rise, and start spreading into the suburbs. (Already seeing this happening in Portland, OR.) San Francisco is beginning to crumble, if the current trend of ignoring crime continues the city will literally die.

What is probably the most puzzling phenomenon, is my Democrat friends (don’t have many of these) think that this leniency on crime is OK. and see nothing wrong with it. The reason they don’t is because they haven’t been robbed or carjacked. The minute that happens they will have an immediate change of attitude. They think the open border is OK, because they can’t see any significant change in their neighborhood. That will surely change in the near future also. Personal contact with violent criminals seems to always alter one’s perspective on the world.

As I look at the US today, and compare it with the US of 50 years ago, I think of ripping open a feather pillow in a windstorm, you will never be able to retrieve all of those feathers. The pillow will forever be lesser than before. Someone left the cake out in the rain…. and nobody can bake another one exactly like the original. You get the picture, we are going to have to adapt to something very different. When the old timers are all gone, nobody will remember or reminisce about how things used to be. That’s exactly what the left is counting on. Why do you think they want all of the statues and history erased. It worked for Mao Tse-tung and Stalin. Have you figured that out yet?

There is an experiment going on in New York City right now. They are attempting to strip a man of his businesses, his properties, and ruin his family because of his personal ideologies which they don’t like. If it was an average person and not a wealthy person, they would surely succeed. If they are able to do this, literally everyone will be fair game if they don’t like you for some reason, any reason. Nothing will be more damaging to our Republic. These practices must be reined in now, before it’s too late.

Stay vigilant, stay strong, even small victories count. God bless America and her people.
