STUFF THAT CAUGHT MY EYE

man_with_telescope_vector_155640

AMBER TAMBLYN: Ms. Tamblyn is a 35 year old actress that got her start on General Hospital, ( daytime soap ). She recently revealed that she considered sending her newborn baby away to Canada or Sweden, when Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential race. She said she was willing to do that to save her baby from the perceived horrors of a Donald Trump Presidency. She actually collapsed on the subway station stairs, the day after the election, in a full blown panic attack. I am dumb struck, that someone could actually get into that state of mind over an election. If she actually knew anything about the United States government she would know that the President is damn lucky to move the needle more than a few notches due to the thousands of embedded bureaucrats and deep state actors. Donald Trump has been more successful than most, but it’s always an uphill battle. Ms. Tamblyn is either seriously naive, or just plain stupid. Your choice, I’ve made mine.

JIM CARREY:  Mr. Carrey is sort of like Ms. Tamblyn, in the fact he has some serious issues going on in his head. He allows Donald Trump to live in his head rent free. Since Trump has been in office, Jim has launched a seemingly never ending barrage of strange paintings. Being an artist myself, I find his art a tad disturbing. It’s disturbing because to me, I see the paintings as psychotic and filled with hate. Jim Carrey has always been a “funny man”. Have you seen him lately? He looks like like a guy on an ad for an anti depression drug. While I have never been a huge fan of his, I did find some of his material to be pretty hilarious. Believe me, I suffered through the eight long years of the Obama presidency. I hated the sound of his voice, and his arrogant attitude, but I damn sure didn’t allow him to take over my life. Jim, get some help man, get your act together. Don’t become another Robert De Niro or Rosie O’Donnell.

ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: She’s got spunk, but she’s as dumb as a stack of hammers. She’s everything that you don’t want to see in the halls of government, but I can tell you with surety that if she continues to live in the district where she was elected she will become another Nancy Pelosi, or Maxine Waters. She will be there till she dies. You can’t say it isn’t entertaining to hear what comes out of her brain. It speaks volumes about our institutions of higher learning. ( there’s an oxymoron )

JOHN ALLEN CHAU: I don’t want to be accused of disrespecting deceased people, but what was this guy thinking. Think about this for a moment. What would possess a person to walk onto an island, that is inhabited by a tribe of natives, that has in he past, killed anyone that tried to trespass. I think it is pretty dang cool that the Indian Government has allowed these island folks to live their lives without intervention by outsiders. Apparently his goal was to introduce them to the gospel. If you have studied the Bible you know that that God will look after these souls. In my opinion they are just fine and are way better off not being subjected to modern day nonsense. Let them live in peace.

If you follow my blog at all, you will know that I am politically engaged. However if you want to keep your sanity, you need to be able to disengage and give it a rest. It is very important to keep yourself well informed and active in the issues, but when you start barging into restaurants and yelling and screaming about whatever your cause may be, you have gone over the edge. When you start showing up at the private residences of politicians and TV personalities and start shouting and making threats against their safety you have gone over the edge. It’s time for everyone to get back in their lanes, and leave everyone else alone. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, and the first amendment gives us the right to speak them. The First Amendment does not give you the right to threaten and harass people, or destroy their property.

One last thought. If you come into a restaurant where I am relaxing and enjoying food of my choice, protesting what is being served, you just solidified the fact that I want nothing to do with you, or your cause. So do yourselves a favor and change your tactics. You’re making more enemies than friends.

THANKSGIVING REFLECTIONS

Thanksgiving

I certainly was not born into a privileged lifestyle. My Father was a weldor in a huge boiler shop in Oklahoma, and my Mom was a homemaker. My parents were hard working folks that survived the great depression by working free gratis on a farm just to have a place to live. My Mother told me the total amount of income they had in 1931 was one dollar and fifty cents. They survived by bartering and trading food and livestock they raised on the farm they took care of. That experience left them with a deep respect for the success they achieved in their later years. What little money they had, was very appreciated. To say my Mom was frugal was an understatement.

My Dad was able to acquire a small parcel of land by trading his labor to the owner to pay it off. He and my Mom gathered up any used lumber and building materials they could get their hands on and built the first family house. A few years later they were able to acquire a larger piece of land and move that house onto the new property. My Dad continued to add on to the house to accommodate our growing family.

My Father was an orphan and my Mom was raised in poverty in a two room house with six siblings. In spite of how they were raised they were incredible parents. They made sure we were fed and clothed and given the tools we needed to be good people. My Mother was a staunch believer in knowing right from wrong, and being respectful of others. She made sure I had a Christian foundation to build my life on. My Father was a great example for a young man, teaching me the values of hard work, and the pride of knowing how to work with my hands. He taught me how to hunt, fish and to respect firearms, and to never use them for the wrong reasons. My Father always told me if he ever heard of me abusing a woman, I was going to answer to him and it wouldn’t be good.

I had two wonderful sisters, and a younger brother. My sisters are gone now, but my brother and I, and my nephew often get together and reminisce about the incredibly fun times we had in my parents home. They were by no means rich with money, but they were rich with character and class. I miss all of my family that are no longer here, but I certainly cherish their memories. I cherish all of life’s lessons that my parents taught all of us.

I have many, many things to be Thankful for, too numerous to mention. I am very fortunate in so many ways. However, I hope that the lessons I learned from my parents, and passed on to my daughters, will be carried forward and bless the lives of future generations. So far so good, I am blessed with a large group of  Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren that are doing well in life. How good is that?

In summary, my parents ultimately taught me that family, people and relationships are the real wealth in life. I am thankful for that.

THINGS I’VE LEARNED JUST BEING HERE

frustrated guy clip art

You learn a lot of stuff just being here on earth, and living your life day to day. My Father used to say ” I’m really smart where the skin is knocked off “. There is a lot of wisdom in those words. My Father said a whole lot of stuff like that. He hated being late. It was really a big deal to him. He often said, ” The only time I want to be late is to my funeral”. Well, after the chapel services, the hearse wouldn’t start due to a dead battery, and he was in fact late to his own funeral. My Father was an ardent observer of life, and I guess I just followed in his foot steps. So I have compiled a list of things I have learned, a lot of them the hard way.

  1. Never attempt to drill a hole in a painted surface without marking the location with a center punch. If you don’t, the drill is almost 100% guaranteed to run across the surface at least three to six inches and totally ruin the paint.
  2. Don’t park your motorcycle facing downhill on the side stand. Even if it’s in gear you will come back and find it laying on it’s side. It will bend the foot peg, break your mirror and any number of other expensive things. Trust me I know this!.
  3. If you take your cat to the vet, and the vet sends you home with a bottle of pills to give the cat. Do not attempt to do this. You could be seriously injured and a lot of stuff in your house could be broken.
  4. Do not attempt to drill a hole through the fender of a bicycle or motorcycle, with it in place. You will be buying a new tire, I guarantee it. If  a tire is beneath the fender it is physically impossible to keep the drill from penetrating the tire as well.
  5. If you drop a bottle of soda, I don’t care how long you wait it is still going to spray all over you. Just throw it away.
  6. Never lend money to a family member unless you’re prepared to consider it a gift.
  7. Never lend your truck to anyone, for anything, ever. They will break it, scratch it, dent it, and bring it back dirty. Trust me I know this.
  8. Don’t hire a friend to fix anything. If they botch the job, and you complain, they won’t fix it, and you will lose a friend. Hire someone you can yell at and you don’t care if you ever see them again.
  9. When buying a car, always assume that there is not one honest person on the entire sales staff. You will most likely be right.
  10. If your boss asks you to write out your job description, just go ahead and quit, you’re going to be fired anyway.
  11. If your boss hires his or her friend, and puts them in your department to supervise, do not criticize this person no matter how horrible they are. You will be fired before they are. I know this.
  12. Do not, under any circumstances, piss off the person taking your food order before you get your food. Really a bad idea.
  13. Do not attempt to paint anything above a carpet without putting down a drop cloth, no matter how small the job is. You will spill paint on the carpet, it’s Murphy’s law.
  14. Do not put gasoline in a Styrofoam container. It won’t end well.
  15. It is impossible to siphon gasoline without getting it in your mouth. That taste lasts for hours and it’s not good.
  16. If you hire a contractor, make sure he agrees to wear a GPS ankle bracelet, otherwise you will never be able to find him again. Especially if you give him a down payment. Never give a contractor money before he does anything, ever.
  17. The battery in your car will die, at exactly the same time you realize you left your cell phone at home, when your miles away from anything.
  18. If you bite the inside of your mouth, you will bite it again and again for at least a week, until you wanna kill yourself.
  19. No matter how hard you try, you will never be able to get a large object back in the packaging that it came in when you bought it. That is why the warranty says you have to, in order to return it. They know it’s not possible.
  20. If you move from the longer line at the checkout, to the shorter line, the person in front of you will either have 198 coupons which the checker has to read the date on each one, or they will have an item that requires a price check, and the clerk is gone for what seems to be 15 or 20  minutes. The same exact scenario happens when you change lanes on the freeway. The lane that was moving just minutes ago, comes to a complete stop when you move into it.

I have obviously learned a lot more than a mere twenty item list, so look for more lists to appear in the future. Life can be totally frustrating or humorous, it’s your choice how you view it. Life works better if you laugh instead of constantly griping. You’ll have more friends too.

THANK GOD THAT’S OVER!! MAYBE…..

exhausted guy

Wow, these elections just keep getting more intense. I remember back in the day, everyone just kind of took them in stride and were relieved when they were over. Now the losers wanna go out and kill the victors. Literally. I’m beginning to feel a bit like I’m living in some sort of fictional novel with a bad ending. Almost out of nowhere, we have  mobs of maniacs showing up on the doorsteps of politicians and talk show hosts threatening violence if they don’t step aside or shut up. Chasing people out of movie theaters and restaurants. They are calling themselves anti fascists. Now there’s an oxymoron if I ever saw one. Now that the Democrats have taken control of the House of Representatives, buckle up, because we have a President that loves a good fight. The next two years will be even more entertaining than the last two.

The first shot across the bow of the Democrat ship of fools, was the firing of Jeff Sessions. Make no mistake, President Trump is putting on his battle armor, getting his Department of Justice ready to take on the rabid Democrats, that want to rip him apart. He has very quietly been beefing up the White House legal team with some very heavy hitters. Jeff seemed like a nice guy, but DC ain’t no place for nice guys. Any time that many lawyers inhabit a relatively small piece of real estate, it becomes a virtual snake pit. Jeff needs to retreat to his southern roots, lean back on his veranda and smell the magnolias.

Donald Trump has proven to be a remarkable politician. He seems to have an uncanny ability to out fox the other side. He out maneuvered all 16 of his Republican opponents in the primaries. Out maneuvered the Clinton machine and the media in the general election, and that my friends was a very big deal. He has dismantled the deep state circle of slime balls that tried to frame him. John Brennan, James Clapper and James Comey have all been disgraced. He has stripped all of these bozos of their security clearances, including Hillary. All of this while tirelessly campaigning for the Republican party and pulling off a remarkable victory. He is only the third President in 100 years to gain seats in the senate while losing the control of the house in a mid term election. 

It is abundantly clear if you are paying attention, that Donald Trump takes his job verrry seriously. He is the hardest working President I have seen in my life time. He is also the most transparent. He openly shares his daily activities and his thoughts with the American people every single day through his tweets. I don’t personally mind his brash attitude, I have spent my life as an iron worker which means I have worked with guys like him my whole life. I would trust the guys I worked with in the construction trades long before a politician. He speaks my language, and his motives are easily understood. It’s also very clear that he loves America and the American people.

Now it’s time for my confession. I was not a Trump fan during the primaries. My pick would have been Marco Rubio. I still like Marco, I think he is a good and honorable man. But we didn’t need Marco, we needed Donald Trump. We needed a street fighter to take on the dirty underhanded political antics of the Democrats and the pinko press. We finally have a President that will stand up for the common people, and understands how deeply we love the USA and how badly we want it restored to it’s former glory, as the defender of Freedom. God Bless America.

IT’S ALMOST VETERAN’S DAY, PLEASE HONOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES

Soldiers planting American Flag

STOP APOLOGIZING…..NOW!

NOT ME

I’m not a bigot, or a racist, or homophobic. I love women, dogs, cats, legal immigrants, little kids, and some teenagers. I love BBQ, apple pie, pork chops, ribs, buttery mashed potatoes. I love life, I love myself, and I love beautiful fast cars and big powerful trucks. I love sunrises and sunsets, and a big yellow full moon. I love trees, mountains, rivers, and most everything that God created that we call nature. Most of all I love my family.

I love the fact that Jesus Christ died on the cross and was resurrected so that we might live with him in Eternity. I’m proud to be a Christian. I’m certainly not the best example of a follower of Jesus Christ, but I never forget that he is my Savior.

I love the United States of America, and I gladly stand and pledge allegiance to it, while saluting Old Glory. I love the men and women who step up and serve in the military and protect all of this great stuff that I love. I love the Police and Fire Fighters for the same reasons.

I am a red blooded, dyed in the hide, American Patriot. I love all other Patriots, no matter what color, religion, or political party they may belong to. Now, if anyone has any doubts about who I am, read it again slowly. Because I say what I think, based on what I see and hear, and if you don’t like it, I don’t care. You can take your political correctness, and put it where the sun don’t shine.

If anyone thinks that I am going to apologize for saying something that they think is politically incorrect, they would be wrong. I know what’s in my heart and what comes out of my mouth is my opinion and I don’t care if anyone likes it or not. I am entitled to speak my mind, by the first amendment of the the Constitution of the United States of America, and I will not allow anyone to usurp that right. I have a tattoo on my left shoulder that says Live Free or Die and that’s exactly how I feel. It is also my right to keep and bear firearms guaranteed by the second amendment. I will not allow anyone to deny me that right either.

So, if anyone reads something in one of my blogs they don’t agree with, feel free to comment. My reply will explain why I take such a position, but it will not include an apology. You can take that to the bank. I’m sick and tired of the lefties trying to squelch any speech that they deem unacceptable. Nobody gave them that jurisdiction, they have appointed themselves to that post. So, to all of you self righteous left leaning morons, you can kiss my old white ass, which by the way, I am quite proud of.

JUST A TINY BIT RACIST?

Barbra Streisand

Recently the “Funny Girl” who by the way, is far from funny in these later years, said she is once again considering moving to Canada if the Dems don’t regain power. When I read that, my brain immediately asked, why Canada? Why not Mexico, or Guatemala, or maybe Venezuela?

I’m thinking Barbra, and the other Hollywood darlings who have said this in the past, want to be with people that look like them, and speak English. They want to be in a country that looks like the United States and pretty much consumes the same products. The bonus of course, is that Canadians for the most part are left leaning socialists.

This is pretty much a dead giveaway for their internal thought processes, regardless of what they espouse in public. Obviously they don’t want to live with the people south of the border, but they are happy to hire them to do their yard work, house work, and any number of other less than pleasant tasks. I have never heard any of them express a desire to move to Haiti either. Haiti is a very impoverished nation. If enough big Hollywood celebrities moved to Haiti perhaps all of their wealth could make for some positive changes.

The real truth is, that these mental giants that make such statements, are what I call “Sunshine Americans”. Also known as political cry babies. As long as everything is going their way it’s cool. But the minute someone challenges the status quo ( read Donald Trump ) the first thing that comes out of their mouths is ” we’re outta here” like it’s some kind of threat that is supposed to terrify people. If every single Hollywood make believe person moved out of the country tomorrow, it would definitely help make America Great Again. And, I would hope Jim Carey would be at the head of the line. 

My bottom line message to Hollywood celebrities, if you want to leave, don’t let the door hit you in your ass on your way out.

One last thought; do you think maybe Grandma Kardashian had a sit down meeting with Ye and told him he needs to get back in line? Sounds like he is toning down his rhetoric over the past week or so. I’m thinking big Mama Kardashian ain’t happy about his White House antics. Just sayin’.

MY ASSESSMENT WAS DEAD ON THE MONEY.

I was right

When I saw the early reports of this migrant caravan it was perfectly clear to me this was no ordinary event. Too many young men carrying flags and banners and acting as militants not migrants. The narrative I was hearing just wasn’t adding up. I told you this caravan from Central America was being misrepresented. As time passes in a situation like this, and it is more closely scrutinized, the truth always emerges. This caravan is being organized and financed by factions that want to hurt the United States by making a mass assault on our border and literally overrunning our law enforcement personnel. They have said it openly in the past, that the goal is to overwhelm the system to the breaking point. If this caravan is allowed to break into our country, I predict that the consequences are going to be dire. Anyone with the I.Q. of an earthworm can see this is an invasion, nothing more, nothing less. The American people will not tolerate an invasion, there will be a major backlash.

It has been widely reported that migrants that claim refugee status are allowed to enter the country and given a court date to come back and plead their case. They simply fade away, never to be seen again. How long do you think it takes for the word to get around that breaking into the United States is a piece of cake. There are over 350,000 pending cases in the immigration courts at present, and nobody knows where the plaintiffs are. They just simply vanished. What do you think will happen when that number becomes 1,350,000? It will eventually become so overwhelming it will be deemed impossible to process, and it will be conveniently forgotten. This is exactly the plan of the leftist “no borders” people. Simply break the system down.

Understand one thing. These people are poor, uneducated, with little or no vocational skills. They will come across the border unable to purchase food, clothing, or shelter. I’ll give you three guesses where the money for that is going to come from, and the first two don’t count. It’s going to come from your tax dollars. These people will magically be fed, housed and educated, while natural born American citizens, some of them war veterans, are living in cardboard boxes on the city streets and highways. Embedded in this group, will be drug cartel workers that will enhance the flow of illegal drugs into the United States. It’s also a given that there will be a criminal element to make our streets more dangerous. The stupid Democrats have already started crying their crocodile tears over the poor refugees. Think about what I am about to say, let it sink in! I have said this before, many times. The Democrat elitists will gladly turn your neighborhoods into ghettos to stay in power, while they live up in the hills with gates and walls around their mansions. They are all liars. 

 

If you continue to put Democrats in power, and they turn this country into a third world hell hole, you deserve what you got.

KILLING BRITAIN

Killing England-001

 NOT AFFILIATED WITH BILL O’REILLY 

There isn’t a place on this earth that is steeped in history as rich and colorful as Britain. It is the Mother Country, the cornerstone of Western Civilization. It was once said that the ” The sun never sets in the British Isles ,” that’s because Britain literally, colonized and laid claim to territories around the world. Britain was indeed one of the world’s early super powers.

The British love pomp and circumstance, and elaborate ceremonies, and we love to watch them. It’s like looking backward into a time long since gone. There is so much about Britain that is wonderfully quirky and unique. If you have ever owned a British car it is the essence of their culture. It is wonderful to drive, it performs in a marvelous fashion, in spite of the fact that you constantly have to fidget with it to keep it running perfectly.

As an observer of world affairs, this is probably the most puzzling things that I have ever seen. As hard as I try, I can’t believe what I am seeing. The British politicians are  handing over their nation to a group of people that have absolutely nothing in common with Britain, and in fact hate everything that Britain stands for. They have allowed a flood of Muslim immigrants into their country who are diametrically opposed to everything British. 

If you think the Muslims have forgotten the Crusades, you don’t know anything about Islam. They never forget their enemies. Muslims have only one thing in their brain, and that is to eradicate anyone that has ever dared cross paths with them in battle. I’m quite sure that every Imam in Britain dreams of the day they can hang the Kings head on the gates of Buckingham Palace. 

Here are the hard cold facts. The native British population, not unlike the French and German native populations, are not having children at a rate that will sustain their culture. Over the next few years their numbers will continue to decline. The Muslims on the other hand, practice polygamy in spite of the laws against it, and are expanding their populations at an alarming rate. Mathematics don’t lie. Each of these countries will slowly become predominately Muslim. Once the Muslims become the dominate race, they will transform the whole of Europe to Islam. 

The first things that will be destroyed is anything connected to Christianity. All of those wonderful old archaeological masterpiece cathedrals that dot the landscape in Europe and England will be knocked down, gone forever. All historical buildings will be destroyed. Nothing will stand that will remind you of the past inhabitants. Sound familiar? The left is doing the same thing here, right now, today, and we are allowing it to happen. Remember one thing. Islam will not tolerate anything that competes with Islam. All traces of every other religion must be eradicated forever. 

As I said earlier, I can’t fathom why Britain is doing this. The politicians are killing freedom of speech, along with their culture. If you dare speak out against what they are doing, God help you. Ask Tommy Robinson. I will guarantee that if Winston Churchill were able to walk the streets of London once again, he would not recognize what his beloved Britain has become. All of those wonderful British citizens that died in the bombings of  WWll, and the brave soldiers that died on the battlefields will have died in vain, if the politicians succeed in Killing Britain.

WRONG FRAME OF MIND!

Soldiers planting American Flag

For as long as the world has been in existence conquerors have carried their banners into battle. When victorious, planted them on the foreign soil they have invaded, as a symbol of victory.  Even little children understand the practice, and mimic it in their backyard games.

 

Caravan with Honduran Flag

The so called Honduran caravan that is currently marching toward our southern borders are brandishing Honduran flags as they march. They aren’t coming to our borders as humble refugees, they are coming as proud conquerors. They know they are not welcome as illegal aliens, the are defiantly coming across our borders to stake their flags on American soil and give Americans the big ol’ middle finger, and dare you to do something about it. They know full well they will be successful, and will melt into the Honduran community with those illegals already here, and our glorious politicians that we elect to protect us from this crap, will sit on their collective asses and do nothing.

The latest figures out now estimate there are over 22 million illegals in the United States. If that doesn’t amount to an invasion, then I don’t know what does. This is how I know it’s and invasion and not immigration. I live in an agricultural area, I encounter a lot of Hispanics. If they were serious about being here and becoming Americans they would speak English. If anyone calls them out for not speaking English they become extremely indignant and angry. Continuing to speak Spanish is a big “F you”.

My wife is an immigrant from England. She obeyed the immigration laws and became a citizen after several years and a lot of money. She is incensed that these people just walk in and start their lives without ever having to file masses of paperwork, and go through the process with the law. It is grossly unfair for the millions of legal immigrants that respected our laws and customs, and did it correctly. If the U.S. Government continues to allow illegals to take up residence here, they owe the legal immigrants a refund for all of the expenses they incurred becoming legal citizens. If the original immigrant has passed on, they owe it to their progeny.

Stop electing politicians that don’t respect the sovereignty of the United States of America. Send a clear message to your lawmakers you aren’t going to tolerate them giving your country away to people that don’t deserve it. Freedom and the American Way is not free for the taking. If you don’t take a stand you’re an idiot, pure and simple. ( AKA Democrats )

The United States of America has a Constitution that guarantees freedom of religion. Why do Christian churches that enjoy that freedom, disrespect the Constitution by encouraging illegal immigration and harboring them once they are here? I believe the bible quite clearly advises Christians to obey the laws of the land where they reside. A true Christian obeys the laws of God and man.
