Today was a pretty busy news day, and some things I heard piqued my interest. I have commented on one of them below.

LABOR UNIONS

I feel somewhat qualified to comment on this, I was an active union member for the first part of my working life. I was also a Democrat, which is sort of expected if you are a member of a labor union. I fully understand why labor unions were created, and I don’t disagree with the purpose. Back in the early days of the industrial boom, primarily in the eastern United States, before organized unions, large companies were brutal to work for. They forced workers to work long grueling hours, under sometimes unbearable conditions, not paying them overtime, or a decent wage. If you dared to complain, you were fired on the spot. If you wanted to work, you had to deal with whatever they demanded. Labor unions stopped all of that and leveled the playing field. I applaud them for that. However, like most things that generate a large flow of cash, it doesn’t take long for the criminal element to get involved. There have been some rather notorious characters associated with labor unions.

One of the things that I did not agree with as a young Boilermaker, was the blacklist that was published by the union local. It was a list of businesses that were not unionized, urging us not to patronize them. I felt very strongly as a 19 year old, this was wrong. I could not conceive what gave them the right to do that. My friends father’s business was on that list. He had a small sheet metal shop with one employee. I felt that was wrong then, and I still feel the same today, 58 years later. They had no right to try to deprive that man from earning a living for his family.

When I moved to Los Angeles a few years later, I attempted to continue working as a Boilermaker, but getting a referral from the Los Angeles local proved impossible. Not sure why, but I was never dispatched. I suspect that unless you were in tight with the folks running the local, your chances were pretty much nil. Which makes another important point, these people can pick and choose who works and who doesn’t. Pretty much like the large companies the unions are supposed to protect you from.

So, in order to be able to work at my trade as a steel worker, I became an Ironworker. For the next 20 years or so, I worked as a union ironworker. I have no regrets, I was never out of work, I always earned top dollars, with all of the great benefits that go with union jobs. However I must say that over the years of being associated with labor unions I became well aware that they have a dark side. If you step out of line they have no problem putting the muscle on you in many different forms.

When I got older and a bit wiser, I began to notice the power of labor unions extended well beyond the negotiating table. I began to realize they wielded a tremendous amount of political power. The Democratic party and the labor unions are inseparable.They are conjoined forever. This is where it becomes intolerable for me, and others that are not Democrats, and don’t like to be told how to vote and who to buy from. If I work on a job that requires me to be a union member, a large part of my dues go towards supporting the Democratic Party and Democrat Politicians. That is unacceptable to me, when I am a Conservative Independent, and would never support leftist policies and socialism.

The other negative thing about all of this is “payback”. The labor unions put Democrats in power, and the Democrats are compelled to pay back the favor with large government contracts that benefit the unions. One of the many reasons why you pay high taxes. Why do you think it’s so hard to get the government to green light Charter Schools? Because it jeopardizes the jobs of union teachers. Union teachers don’t have to perform at the levels you would expect in a private school. Their jobs are protected regardless of how well they do them. The same exact thing happens in the government at all levels. You can be lousy at your job but you don’t need to worry, you can’t be fired. Make no mistake about it, labor unions are a form of Socialism.

All of that said, today we are at a tipping point. The Supreme Court is hearing the case of  Janus vs. AFSCME regarding whether workers can be forced to pay dues when they disagree with how the money is used. The ruling will likely be revealed sometime in June of this year. If the SCOTUS agrees with Janus, it will be very interesting to see what the fallout will produce. In my opinion the labor unions could have avoided this day by simply allowing the Conservative workers to dissent, and have a separate fund which would be donated to conservative candidates and causes. But then, that would be “fair” and the unions aren’t exactly good at playing fair.

Admittedly I read and listen to a lot of news from a lot of different sources. After reading the articles I pay attention to how the story unfolds over the next few news cycles. I think I have gotten pretty darn good at reading between the lines discerning what the real truth is behind the words in the headlines. I have listed a few below.

Broward County Sheriffs Office Investigates That Multiple Deputies Stayed Outside During Parkland Massacre.  What this really means, is that Sheriff Israel is trying to save his ass. When you offend the governor, your state senator, and one hell of a lot of conservatives, you probably need to update your resume.  

Russian Spies Hacked The Olympics And Tried To Make It Look Like North Korea Did It.  This is what Russians do for a pastime. They don’t have baseball, football, or politics. Engaging in politics in Russia is not healthy. The only smart thing I ever heard John McCain say is that “Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country”.

After a Testy Call With Trump Over the Border Wall Mexican President Shelves Plans to Visit Whitehouse. Enrique Nieto visiting Trump in the Whitehouse, would be like you visiting someone’s house, to which you owed a large sum of money, and had not paid back. It would be awkward and uncomfortable.

Trump’s Hardline Approach Is Forcing Immigration Advocates To Readjust. They can’t figure out how to deal with a President that won’t back down. Every politician “caves” sooner or later??? Who does this guy think he is?

NRA Responds To Boycotts. NRA has five million dedicated members, what the hell do they care if a few car rentals boycott them. The NRA is a gun club that sells nothing but memberships and some NRA gear. These companies announcing boycotts have been hoping to get NRA members to use their services by offering discounts. How is this a big deal? The discounts they offered weren’t that great. So what?

Tiger Woods Squanders Opportunity At Honda Classic. Same shit, different day.

Harley Davidson Is Sad And Getting Sadder. The loyal Harley customers are getting older and many are hanging up their leathers. Younger motorcyclists are more interested in smaller more agile bikes. the Harley image does not appeal to them, and Harley wasn’t paying attention. Marketing is supposed to see this crap.

Columnist Mona Charen of The Ethics and Public Policy Center was booed at CPAC When She Criticized Conservatives For Supporting Roy Moore and President Trump.  Mona’s not too bright. That’s about the same as Dana Loesch showing up at a anti gun rally.

One more rather obscure headline I saw today said that Jennifer Anniston’s husband has been making her live in bad conditions, and they have now split. I can’t imagine that anyone gives a rat’s behind about Jennifer Aniston’s living conditions. What the heck is relevant about this? Why is it even in the news?

Beware of “Fake News” everyone. It really does exist. Remember what Edgar Allan Poe said, Don’t believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see”. (paraphrased) I totally believe that the truth shall make you free. Very few people have good enough memory to be a successful liar, and politicians refuse to give up. I love it when they deny saying something and someone plays a video of them saying it. Karma baby!

                                  The Democratic Broadcasting Network / AKA CNN

When I was a kid about a hundred or so years ago, I remember the big three networks had an equal time rule. I have no idea where it came from, perhaps an FCC ruling, I’m not really sure. However, If a TV station aired a segment from a Republican source, they were obligated to give the Democrats equal time. That rule is obviously no longer in play. Considering the fact that folks were a lot more civil in those days, it may have been self imposed. If anyone has information on this please share it with me in the comment area at the bottom of the page.

Pre Bill Clinton, the lefty bias on TV was always there, but it was  considerably more subtle. When the Clinton’s came on the scene, in my opinion, the left imagined it was going to be a reiteration of John F. and Jackie Kennedy. Or Camelot as the Democrats and the press liked to call them. Bill Clinton was every bit as much of a womanizer as John F. was, just not quite as discreet about it. Comparing Hillary to Jackie is like comparing a plow horse to a thoroughbred. After the Clintons settled into the Whitehouse they started all of the same shenanigans they engaged in while in Arkansas. What they didn’t count on, was that the playground was one hell of a lot tougher in DC. I didn’t take long for Bill and Hillary to amass a goodly amount of enemies. The Republicans would not rest until they saw good ol’ Bubba impeached. And, that my friends was the beginning of the political nuclear war we find ourselves in today.

After the eight year campaign against the Clinton’s the Democrats were thoroughly pissed.  George W Bush took over the reins and he was in for one hell of a battle. The Democrats were out for revenge. Not only were the Dems out for revenge so were the major news outlets. When George W rode off into the sunset, and Barrack Hussein Obama was inaugurated, the left had the largest simultaneous orgasm the world has ever known. There wasn’t a dry crotch in the entire Democratic party or the major TV networks. Alas, after eight years of non stop Whitehouse parties and lavish vacations, and lots of golf, good ol’ Barrack didn’t really accomplish much. One of his biggest accomplishments was to make the racial divide in the United States worse than ever. He also presided over the most anemic economic recovery ever, and will forever be known as the most left-wing President in history. The GDP never rose above 2% during his time in office. His largest cheering squad during his lackluster performance was, you guessed it, major TV news and mainstream media outlets. ( Excluding Fox News of course )

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, enter Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The major TV news outlets took off the gloves and were all in for Hillary. CNN even gave her the questions before a televised debate. They covered for her in every way possible while openly trying their best to destroy Donald Trump. The Celebrity Apprentice was an NBC production, they had a long relationship with Donald Trump. The so-called “Access Hollywood” tapes were property of NBC and had been locked away for years. When NBC thought the time was right to drop the bomb on “The Donald” to destroy him once and for all, they secretly released them to the Washington Post. Everyone thought that Trump would never recover from the release of that tape.

As it turns out, the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape turned out to be a dud. The reason was, that Hillary was a horrible candidate with absolutely no message to uplift anyone. Donald Trump was wounded but not seriously. For the rest of the campaign, the media kept trying to make the tape matter, but in the end it didn’t. They are still trying to dig up old affairs among other things.

Since he took office, the left has been tirelessly trying to make the case that he and his campaign staff colluded with the Russians to rig the election. They have been driving this story for over 18 months with absolutely no evidence that it ever happened. Rod Rosenstein of the DOJ made an announcement last week that the investigation could not find that any American had wittingly colluded with the Russians in the presidential election. End of story.

The way it appears to me, is that this is not going to get any better, anytime soon. So, I think it’s time to re-invoke the old equal time rule. If a news outlet airs a segment that is pro Democrat, they should be obligated to give equal time to the Republicans. That way, everyone will have fair and equal representation. This rule should not be extended to talk radio. Everyone understands that talk radio preaches to the choir. TV news  is different, CNN, MSNBC, and the big three bill themselves as news outlets, and they are clearly biased for the left and a socialist agenda. They are in essence an extension of the Democratic Party. Think about this, the Democrats own the main stream media, and it didn’t cost them a single penny.

I went on a trip with some strange folks last week and took this picture

Setting the silliness aside, something seems to be happening and nobody can explain it. A lot of people and organizations are becoming more interested in this phenomenon. So, I’m going to give you some information you may not know;

• You are more likely to see a UFO in the USA than anywhere else in the world.
• Sightings are becoming more common. 2500 sightings per 10 million people
• Sightings are 300 times higher than anywhere else in the world
• Northwestern and Northeastern states have filed the most reports for sightings.

World wide UFO sightings have reached an all time high

• 1980:   5,000
• 1990: 10,000
• 1990 – 2000: Rose by nearly 30,000, just short of 45,000 sightings reported.
• Since 2010, nearly 47,000 sightings have been reported.

There is an abundance of information for you to research. It only takes a few minutes on line to uncover a mountain of stuff. If you’re interested in this, start looking around, I think you will be surprised. There are a lot of government papers being released now for you review.

I read this one a few days ago, I would highly recommend that you read it as well. There is a very interesting web site call the War Zone. If you’re a “techie” it is a must visit site. It may take you a few times before you reach it but it’s worth the trouble.

The site is http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone. Check out the story by Tyler Rogoway posted on 11/17/2017. When you  are on the home page, go the search area at top right hand corner and type in UFO’s. I hope you enjoy the read as much as I did. Keep your eyes on the sky! There is a comment area at the bottom of the page. If you have a UFO story to share, by all means let me know.

Dogs bark at everything, sometimes they have a favorite thing to bark at like squirrels, other dogs, mail men, you name it. Most of the time they just bark in vane, nothing changes. Tomorrow comes and they wake up and start barking again. It’s a never ending cycle.

In reality, I’m not talking about dogs, I’m talking about people and guns. A prominent person gets killed, a little child of a prominent person gets killed, a bunch of people in a school or church gets killed and all of the dogs start barking. Immediately calling for all guns to be banned. Meantime, while they are barking about the school shooting where ten or fifteen youngsters were killed in a up scale area, 50 to 75 youngsters were killed in Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore and other big cities. But these kids are not from wealthy neighborhoods, they’re from the ghetto. Somehow, it’s different when poor kids are getting slaughtered. The barking dogs are silent. Why aren’t the ghetto kids worth getting upset about?  650 people were murdered in Chicago alone last year. 38 times more dead people than the recent school shooting in Florida. Did you see any anti gun rallies related to all of those murders? I can’t remember a single one. Not one demonstration.

Maybe people in Chicago, and other large cities are just more hardened to murder and it doesn’t matter as much as it does in Florida, where murders are much more uncommon, and cause a lot more emotional distress. The knee jerk reaction of the Floridians is, we can’t allow this to happen again, everyone has to give up their guns. I seriously doubt that before last weeks shooting in Parkland Florida, that one Parkland resident devoted even one second of thought to the people getting murdered in South Chicago, Baltimore, or Detroit.

This whole thing is not about guns. This didn’t happen when I was a young man, and guns were just as common as today, and almost no regulations. I could walk down the street with a rifle and no one even gave it a second thought. No my friends, this is all about screwed up culture, and people with screwed up brains. Parents rely far too much on electronic baby sitters. TV, video games, computers and movies. By the time a kid is a teenager he or she has seen and untold amount of very realistic violence and death, sometimes mixed with pornography. Then to makes things even worse, they are getting no spiritual guidance anywhere. Then when the kids start showing signs of depression, which was caused by all of the junk that’s been fed into their brain, they put them on anti-depressant drugs. It’s pretty much downhill from there.

This is a societal problem, not a gun problem. Societal problems are very hard to fix if not impossible. Because nobody wants to change the way they live. They think their lives are just fine. It’s everyone else that’s the problem. What we’re talking about is a country of very selfish human beings, unwilling to consider change for the overall good of humanity. A lot of people talk about it, songs are written about it, nobody does a damn thing, they just bark.

This is the simple formula for fixing this problem:

• Two parent families ~ preferably male / female ( I don’t want to hear your crap )
• Daily allotment of time for family activities and communication.
• Children need to have household chores and responsibilities.
• Access to electronics must be limited and monitored.
• Children must understand discipline and accountability.
• Evening family meal is very important
• Church attendance is very important to help a child understand reverence.
• Parents must set examples of good behavior and respect for others.
• Remember; Monkey see, monkey do.
• Husband / Wife relationship and expression of love is an important example for children.
• Family loyalty to one another is very important for children to experience.
• The family creed should be based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Those are my twelve commandments. If the entire population lived by these twelve items the multitude of our current societal problems would go away. There will always be a loose cannon, that disrupts lives, but there will be one heck of a lot fewer to deal with. The plan I just laid out is pretty much like herding cats, or nailing jello to the wall. My gut feeling is, that the genie is out of the bottle and he don’t really wanna go back in, he just wants to complain about being cold.

Florida Students Mourn The Loss of Their Classmates

The first article I wrote about this horrific event, was written before the news broke about how the law enforcement community, both local and federal, totally dropped the ball. We now know that the local police had been called to the home where this nutcase lived 39 times for domestic violence. He was living with a friend after the death of his mother last November. The family he was living with was aware that Cruz had an AR15 rifle, but made him keep in a locked safe, but he had the key. Key point here is that the local police were familiar with Cruz, and his propensity for violence.

The school was also aware of Cruz’s propensity for violence. The school officials had found gun related items in his backpack and had a standing order that he was not allowed to carry a backpack on school property. He was very open to his classmates. about this intentions to commit violence. One of the students said months before, “if we ever have a shooting it will be him”.

He posted a number of disturbing pictures on this social media account, even a sign saying the wanted to be a “professional school shooter”. He was reported to the FBI twice, ( I believe the letters stand for the Federal Bureau of Idiots ). The geniuses at the FBI blew it off, didn’t bother to respond. Maybe they were busy chasing Russian election hackers?? Maybe they were meeting with the other halfwits in the DOJ planning on how to save their asses in the Uranium One debacle. Whatever they were doing, they weren’t doing their job. The whole seventh floor of the FBI should be fired, including Christopher Wray.

From my perspective, law enforcement in the United States either view themselves as political operatives, or are being led by political operatives. Politics and Law Enforcement should forever be separated. Maybe, since the imbeciles in power can’t seem to make that distinction, we should pass laws that guarantee the separation. What the heck, maybe a Constitutional Amendment.

Wrapping this up, 17 people died needlessly last week. The reason; law enforcement was not doing the job that we pay them to do, that we expect them to do. We hire professional law enforcement personnel, and fire fighting personnel to be there when we need them, no questions, no excuses. We give them expert training, weapons, cars, trucks, fabulous retirement packages and insurance. They need to get off their asses and do their jobs. If you need more proof of what I am saying, look at how many institutions dropped the ball on the Texas Church shooter. He was also well known by law enforcement. But the first people to drop the ball was the United States Air Force.

One more thing; The FBI has this thing that they say, you’ve heard it many times, “if you see something, say something”. Now who ya gonna call “Ghostbusters”?

VERITAS VINCIT   ~   LIVE FREE OR DIE   

This is just another freaking idiot that went unreported, when he had all the symptoms of a seriously deranged person. Does he sound a lot like the idiot in Texas that killed all of those unsuspecting church goers? Everyone of the whackos that have committed mass shootings over the past several years have been mentally deranged. Every time they take a look back into their lives they all seem to fit the same pattern. The talking heads on TV immediately start trying to determine the motive of the shooter. The motive is that he’s a crazy bastard that should have been under the care of a mental health facility, behind locked doors.

Think about this for a moment. I think we can all agree that the occurrence of mass shootings has escalated over the past 15 years. The United States has always been a place where guns are readily available. Semi auto rifles have been around forever. So why is this happening now with such frequency? In my opinion, I think the world today is a lot more difficult to navigate for a mentally challenged person. Everyone is moving at break-neck speed, trying to just keep up with daily grind, and nobody has time to even notice a person that is struggling. Mentally ill people are pushed away, and become lonely, angry people filled with rage. When they blow up, they can hurt a lot of innocent people.

The knee jerk reaction for a lot of people, on both sides of the aisle is to ban guns. That’s a really bad idea for the future of our freedom. The obvious solution is for everyone to just slow down, and pay attention to what is going on around them. All of these people have families and friends. If someone is slipping away, throw them a rope, get them some help, you may be saving more than just one life. The government needs to stop giving able bodied people welfare, and start paying more attention to mental health. What’s wrong with bringing back mental hospitals? Shouldn’t a person with a sick brain, be able to get help the same as a person with a sick stomach?

Here is the bottom line, guns don’t have mental illness. Guns are totally harmless when left alone. Normal, sane people don’t commit mass murder. We need to pay a lot more attention to the people around us that are showing signs of violent behavior. I recently heard someone say when a person kills people with a bomb, they don’t blame the bomb they blame the bomber. Stay vigilant, stay alive.

SUPPORT POLITICIANS THAT PROTECT THE 2ND AMMENDMENT

 

                               I Don’t want to be looked upon as a sex object. Really?

So, do they think these pictures are only going to be viewed by asexual people. I think this picture would be viewed with pleasure by most men and most lesbian women. Just a guess anyway. I’m sorry but I am highly amused by women who say they detest being thought of as a sex object, and then continue to be seen in public barely dressed. Don’t you think that to be a little oxymoronic? I’m not advocating burquas but come on people get your head out of your butts. If you just arrived on earth early this morning, you may not have picked up on this yet, but straight men love to look at women’s boobs, and butts. We like the way they look. It’s also not uncommon to have sexual thoughts while engaging in this daily activity. It’s part of being the opposite sex. That’s why the population of the earth has continued to grow ever since Adam took a bite of that apple and became enslaved to earthly desires.

 

The epitome of purity ( the sand )

Women are acutely aware of the power they possess. I have witnessed it time and again. It’s not always the physical looks, they can put on that poor, pitiful, innocent woman act and literally sway juries. I was in my early twenties and was summoned to be a juror for the first and only time in my life. I will never forget this case. The defendants were a single mother and a daughter living on a small acreage. They failed to properly maintain their fences and the horse got out on the highway. A car hit the horse and seriously injured the driver and passenger. The driver of the car was suing the horse owners for damages and injuries. The horse owners were clearly at fault, for negligence. The jury found the defendants not guilty. I saw it with my own eyes, the jurors felt sorry for the mom and her daughter and ruled in their favor. They skated because they played the poor innocent woman act perfectly. The jury literally ignored the law and ruled on emotions. That’s female power.

Poor old Harvey. He was simply doing business as usual in Hollywood. The same as it’s been done from year one. Everyone knew how it worked, especially the women. People come to Hollywood for fame and fortune, and good ol’ Harvey made it happen for a lot of women. The price they paid for it was no different than it was in 1935. So what happened? Why such a sudden uprising of the women? They were totally OK with the arrangement for years. What’s the big deal for trading a little skin for fame and really big money?

The women’s movement has been getting consistently more militant over the past few years, and the younger women like Rose McGowan, were ready to throw down the gauntlet and say enough! Wow, talk about the domino effect. Once ol’ Harvey fell, they realized they were able to pretty much take out anyone. Once Harvey was gone, and he had no more power to destroy careers, the doors of the fortress were kicked in with vigor. All of those women who felt they had been taken advantage of were out for blood. Taking out Harvey Weinstein was pure genius. He is a big scruffy overweight, disgusting looking guy. From now to eternity, when a woman says she was sexually harassed, the image of Harvey will come to mind, and mounds of pity will be heaped upon the woman.

As usual, the political world seized this opportunity to get into the fray. Immediately it became a movement with a name. The swords were drawn and the battle was on. What a deal this was. You can accuse some guy of a misdeed that allegedly happened  30 or 40 years ago, you don’t need any evidence or witnesses. You can strip him of his career, and reputation without even walking into a courtroom. But more importantly, if he is a political opponent he can be drummed out of the race on nothing but hearsay. The burning question in my mind, is why does a woman’s word carry more weight than a man’s. Even other men are more than willing to cast their stones to preserve their own careers. It is a ludicrous state of mind, and it is totally against the rule of civil law. The “#me too” movement is all about power, nothing more.

So, don’t you think it’s a bit ironic that women like the ones pictured above, can parade around in public and in the entertainment media with little or nothing on, and still claim the moral high ground. God help the guy who dares touch one of them or say the wrong thing. I can actually see a scenario where a man says the wrong words to a totally naked woman and get charged with sexual harassment. People, it’s getting that crazy. It is a well known fact that there are a lot of unscrupulous women in this world. Think Hillary Clinton. I don’t trust women any more than I do men. So when a woman makes an accusation against a man, she needs to be able to prove it. I’ve known far too many liars in my life to accept mere hearsay. Show me the proof, Lisa and Gloria.

                       Homeless Camp Seattle                                  Homeless Camp Portland

Politicians have totally given up on fixing this problem, all they do now is try to manage it to the best of their abilities. I am now seeing smaller cities grappling with growing homeless populations, and it’s obvious nobody has any viable solutions. The magnitude of this phenomenon has virtually exploded in the past twenty years. The growing homeless populations are now becoming not only a public nuisance, but a serious health issue that threatens the general population. There are limited sanitation facilities for these people and they end up defecating and urinating in public spaces which causes the spread of disease. They also dispose of their used hypodermic needles wherever they damn well please. There are volunteers in Portland, Oregon that patrol their neighborhoods picking up used needles to protect their children. This is because the city of Portland allows homeless encampments to exist in close proximity to residential communities. A residential community where children live and play should not have to deal with such craziness. A large percentage of the homeless population engage in all types of criminal behavior, not exactly the kind of people you want living in your neighborhood.

So, why do all of these folks gather in and around large cities? The reason, is that most large cities have left leaning administrations, that can’t come to grips with reality. They cater to the homeless, and provide them with food, shelter and services. They have allowed their ideology to displace their common sense, if they ever had it. Homeless populations need to be placed in compounds, complete with sanitary services, shelter, and police protection. The cities then need to make it unlawful for them to create makeshift encampments, and sleep on the streets. It is just plain wrong for the general population, that work and pay taxes, to not be able to enjoy an evening, or shopping day downtown without being concerned about their health and safety. When I pay almost $4,000.00 per year in property taxes I expect some benefits from that money. I don’t expect to have to weave my way around people laying on the sidewalks, and begging for money. It is  estimated that it costs the cities about $3,500 per month, per homeless person to manage the problems they create. There are plus or minus, about 5,000 homeless people in Portland, Oregon. That my friends is $17,500,000.00 per year of your tax dollars managing a fixable problem. Over the past twenty years they have spent $350,000,000.00 and are nowhere near solving the problem. It is worse now than ever. Think about this for just a moment, the dollar amounts I mentioned above are for only one city. Add in the money from all of the other major west coast cities. My friends this is a very, very, large problem and everyone seems to want to look the other way and pretend it doesn’t exist.

As if the homeless crisis wasn’t bad enough, the lefties want to allow millions upon millions of immigrants into this country that have no education or job skills. Sadly, a great many of these immigrants are low I.Q. to boot. There are already thousands of these folks adding to the homeless populations.

So, I have a unique idea to present to the left wing idiots and misguided Republicans. Why don’t we solve the homeless problem, and clean up our cities before we allow millions more into our midst that we have to educate, in hopes they will assimilate and become productive citizens. It just seems like a good idea to me, to solve a really big existing problem, before creating another one. Just sayin’

After you read this article, you can call me a raciest or anything else you want, because what I have to say is simply that all men are not created equal, and all societies are not equal and never will be. According to the latest scientific findings, man has been on this earth for about 200,000 years, give or take a few decades. So, in this giant marathon that mankind has been participating in all of these thousands of years, I think that anyone with the comprehension of a grapefruit would agree that some are closer to the finish line than others. Why do you suppose that is??? Don’t you think that it would be safe to assume that some are simply better equipped at winning the race than others? It is my belief, like it or not, ( I actually don’t care if you like it because I ain’t running for office ) that through the years of man being on earth, some groups just developed a better gene pool. I don’t pretend to know why that is, it just appears that way to me. I’m about as close to being a scientist as you are to Jupiter.

If you have a problem with what I’m saying, think about this. About 400 years ago, the white guys from Europe settled America that was inhabited by the native Americans and pushed them onto reservations. Now, that wasn’t too hard because the Europeans were already into the industrial age, building large sailing ships armed with cannons, and were well into the art of firearms. The American natives were still hunting with bows and their largest water craft were canoes. Considering that the American Indians probably inhabited what is now the USA which is far richer in natural resources, for as long as the white folks inhabited Europe, why do you suppose the Europeans were so far advanced? If you know the answer, please share it.

The Romans built a fabulous city with aqueducts to supply them with water, and marvelous buildings. They gathered in the Coliseum to watch the lions eat the gladiators, while the Africans were living in grass huts trying not to end up the same way. The Romans were conquering Europe with huge armies, and the Africans were out in the bush trying to find something to eat before they got eaten themselves. All of the scientists agree that life originated in Africa, so why the disparity between the two groups?

  

Now, looking at people from our time, I see the same things. Rex Tillerson, and Richard Branson are just two, of many rich and powerful guys. There are a lot of rich and powerful women as well. According to what everyone says these people make up what is called the 1%. I don’t happen to be in that group. I’m not in that group for a number of reasons. I’m pretty sure these guys are smarter than I am. just sayin’. I’m pretty sure they have a better education than I do since I only did two years of community college. But the biggest difference is simply this, I didn’t have the drive to be at that level. I just didn’t have the interest. I wasn’t willing to give up all of that time away from my  family and my motorcycle.

The bottom line folks is simply this, people are all different. Some are way different. You can’t take a guy out of the Congo and make him a Wall Street executive. A Wall Street executive would last about five minutes in the Congo. I just want the idiots on the left to quit saying this bull crap, it just aint’ so. Some guy that was born and raised in Calexico and walks into this country illegally probably won’t ever be an executive at GM. He’s more likely to be washing GM cars at the local car wash. For once I wish people would cut the PC crap and tell the truth. I’m not sure how you feel about it, but I would much rather have immigrants that are smarter, with more initiative, and loftier goals, so that it makes the USA a stronger player on the world stage. Right now we seem to leading the world in service workers and petty criminals. Don’t drown in the kool-aid
