DEAD MAN WALKING

My friends, Joe Biden is a “Dead Man Walking”. His presidency is over. His time in the sun has come and gone in 15 months. It’s been a verrrry long 15 months. Him and his band of anti-American criminals, have virtually ruined this country in the very short time he has been in office. I for one never thought it would be possible for one man to do this. I thought that’s why we have three branches of government to make it impossible for this to happen. I guess creepy old Joe taught us all a lesson. Our freedom is one hell of lot more fragile than anyone imagined.

I don’t have any “sources” as Sean Hannity calls them. I just pay attention. Very close attention and call on the historical political data stored between my ears. Let’s take a little walk down memory lane and look at what’s happened over the past two years. Well actually, I’m going to cheat a little bit and sneak in 2016. That’s when a very dangerous man entered into the presidential race and scared the living hell out of the Washington establishment. Democrats and Republicans. And much to the establishments chagrin, Mr. Trump went to Washington. We’ll save the story of the next four years for another time.

The Democrats had to win in 2020, they had no choice. If Donald Trump spent another four years in the White House, it would literally set their agenda back fifty years. ( est. ) So, if you are the Democrats, you have a reputation of nefarious deeds to uphold. As far as the Democrat Party is concerned, committing murder isn’t even off the table if it means taking back your precious power.

Somehow, the Democrats have to come up with a plan to totally upend the election, because they don’t have a horse in the stable that can possibly beat Trump. Enter Fauci and Google and others that have been fooling around in a Bio Lab in Wuhan, China. Why would anyone possibly want to create a super deadly virus, that never existed, and there was no cure? I’ll leave that up to you.

December 2019, the start of election year, that pesky virus escaped. Fauci and his band of mad scientists knew exactly where it came from, but they told us it came from the Wuhan “wet market”, transmitted by some sort of exotic animal that only Chinese eat. The media took it hook line and sinker. That story quickly became gospel. However, in a few months, the experts were finding a lot of holes in it, and leaks started coming out of China.

The next thing that happened, tells you all you need to know, about how deep the Democrats were involved in this scheme. Teams of Democrat lawyers fanned out across the United States in every nook and cranny and started getting voting laws amended. They knew there was a pandemic on the horizon, and they were going to be ready to take advantage of it. And take advantage of it they did, in a very decisive way.

Fast forward to the Democratic National Convention. They filled the stage with the biggest array of losers the world has ever seen. Joe Biden had decided to run to everyone’s amazement. So did Bernie Sanders. The Democrats were hoping Biden would put on a good performance because he was their best bet in the race. But he didn’t, Bernie did. Bernie was set to run away with the whole deal, so panic set in. In true Democrat fashion, they went about rigging the primaries and making sure that Biden won.

So, the revised Democrat strategy is to keep the mumbling, bumbling Biden hid from view as much as possible utilizing Covid as their smokescreen. They know full well if they let Biden speak in public, the jig is over. Nobody is going to vote for an old white guy with only half of a functioning brain. The government effectively banned large gatherings, and Trump never had chance to work his magic on the crowds. Then the large social media platforms invested millions in swaying the election through information manipulation and taking over entire election boards in major population areas.

The Democrats pulled off the plan flawlessly and were able to get Joe elected. However, poor old Joe was never destined take his place beside the great presidents in American history, he was being used as a tool by the Democrat party. I think Joe knew this and was Okay with it. He allowed himself to be used for his own egotistical goals. We all now know that Joe is incapable of stringing thoughts together in a coherent manner. That said, all of those executive orders that he signed in this first day in office, those were prepared by the Democrat party well in advance to drive a stake through the heart of Donald Trump. Joe was only needed to apply the official signature to make them law. Such has been the case for the past 15 months. He simply mouths the policies of the Democrat party. Side note to be aware of, the Attorney General, the DOJ and the FBI all work in unison with the Democrat party. So, if there is a thread of Democracy left, it’s a small miracle.

The Biden administration is now reaching its climax. Everything the Democrats have done have been an abysmal failure. They have done it using Biden as the ultimate scape goat. They see the mid-term elections as a likely disaster unless they do something fast. Have you noticed that the mainstream media mouthpieces have now turned against the Bidens in recent weeks? Have you noticed Biden’s handlers have been letting him talk at events off script? Have you noticed that Biden is being made the butt of jokes about his incoherent ramblings? He is being set up for the fall. They have to make him go away soon. They have to mount a campaign quickly, laying the blame for the last 15 months at his feet if they stand any kind of chance at keeping control of the house and senate. Today, at a White House gathering, Biden was wandering around among hundreds of people, talking to himself, and not one single person in the room acknowledged his presence. He tried to get Barrack Hussien Obama’s attention; Barrack wouldn’t look at him.

It’s over for Joe. How are they going to do it.? 25th amendment? Kamala is a disaster, nobody likes her. If she becomes president and has a presidential dog, they will have to tie a pork chop around her neck to get the dog to notice her. The whole thing is an unmitigated disaster. But, what else could it be? It was born out of evil deeds. Sad day for the United States of America.

Hold on tight my patriotic friends. This may turn out to be a bit of a rough ride. Keep the faith. God Bless you and your families.

Sometimes so much information comes rushing into your mind from so many directions, you lose your place, and get way behind on the analytics. Biden and the left brained idiots are trying to cram 25 pounds of crap into a five-pound bag right now. What I mean by that, is they know they only have a very short time in office to accomplish a very long list of left-wing policies and ideas.

The Democrats are deliberately and artificially driving up the cost of energy. It isn’t any secret, they are doing this as part of the Green New Deal, that they could never get passed into law, so they are forcing it on you. The genius Jennifer Granholm, the Energy Secretary, that couldn’t run a lemonade stand, says she understands how hard it is to afford gasoline, just buy an electric vehicle. Let’s take a look at that absurd statement. People who earn $70,000.00 per year or better, will still be able to fill up their gasoline powered cars, but it will be a little painful and a whole lot irritating. The people who are going to get really slammed are the folks that earn below $50,000.00 per year, work two or more jobs, and have to drive to work and have to pay record prices for groceries and personal needs. These people can’t afford to just go out and purchase an electric car. Jennifer Granholm is a total asshole, and by the way, she holds several million dollars in stock in renewable energy companies. An out-right conflict of interest, but that’s Okay in Joe’s world.

The thing that keeps coming back into my head over and over, is what Joe Biden has said numerous times. He keeps making the statement that America will no longer be dependent on oil and gas by 2035. Folks, that’s only about twelve years from now. As of the third quarter in 2021, about four months ago, there were 284 million gasoline powered vehicles on the road in America. That’s a full 90% of all currently registered vehicles. The average car lasts about twelve years, if well cared for more like 20 years or better. Gasoline cars will continue to be sold for several years, so what is going to happen to all of the gasoline powered cars?

That’s not what bothers me the most. Americans don’t want electric cars. My Suburban has a range of 540 miles on a full tank of fuel, and I can find a gas station in the middle of nowhere, fill up in less than ten minutes and be on my way. When the power goes out in my neighborhood, I have a gas fireplace, and a gas water heater. I can stay warm and have a hot shower by electric lantern, fire up my generator and keep my food frozen and watch TV. People that have all electric homes are screwed unless they have backup generators. (There’s that pesky fossil fuel again ) Let’s go back to the first line in this paragraph, Americans don’t want this, they are telling us that this is what we are going to get, like it or not. That is not what happens in a free market society, and a democracy. This is what happens in a totalitarian state. This is what happens in China.

Here is another thing that bothers the hell out of me. I’m pretty sure the Republican party is Okay with this plan. I think the Republican establishment in D.C. are totally on board with this nonsense. Here is why I think so, Joe Biden said we were going to be totally green by 2035, didn’t hear any Republicans pounding on their desks and yelling ” no way Jose”. Nope, not hearing ol’ Turtle heard Mitch making any contrary statements, he’s pretty quiet. Wonder how much stock Mitch has in renewable energy? Another clue, is that you can bet the Democrats aren’t going to be in power 100% of the time until 2035, are you with me here?

A huge chunk of the renewable energy is going to come from solar. When I was on vacation a couple of weeks ago, we drove by a solar farm south of Vegas that is 900 acres of solar panels, 288,000 to be exact. The state of Nevada claims it will get 50% of its power from renewables by 2030. That all sounds great, but the United States doesn’t make solar panels, China does. Solar panel life expectancy is about 25 years. I don’t think you have to be a Phi Beta Kappa to figure out, we are going to be dependent on China when it comes time to replace millions of solar panels. Wind machines are made in Japan, India, China and South Korea. I think you probably figured out by now, Americans are going to get majorly screwed in this green energy deal. Nice.

I’m not anti-renewable energy, I just think our illustrious leaders are not thinking this through in a realistic manor. I think they are being driven by their greed. If I was a betting man, I would guess that 80% of the lawmakers in D.C. have stocks in renewable energy. Why isn’t Washington subsidizing solar factories in the USA? Why aren’t we building wind turbines? Those millions of illegal migrants coming across the border every year need jobs. We buy all of this stuff offshore, and feed and clothe millions of people on welfare? This is really strange math. Maybe the meme below explains it.

People, we are getting “punked” by our own government. You know, the government that is supposed to consult with the folks back home before doing anything major? If you think that government still exists, I have some stock in an Iraqi automobile company to sell you. Just hope like hell, the Democrats haven’t figured out how to rig the next election like they did the last one.

GROSS MISMANAGEMENT

Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain.

For purple mountain majesties, above the fruited plains

America, America God shed his grace on thee.

He crowned thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.

My American brothers and sisters, we are living on the single greatest piece of real estate God created. The founding fathers laid out an excellent plan to manage it. That plan has been followed pretty darn closely up until the past couple of decades. Suddenly, we find ourselves facing the destruction of our beautiful country, due to nothing more than pure unadulterated GREED.

I recently traveled by automobile, just shy of 4,000 miles, across five states. Only five of 50 states. I have traveled by car, across every state west of the Mississippi, and I can testify to you, the absolute enormity of this nation. The natural resources of this nation are staggering. If you haven’t traversed the U.S.A. via ground transportation, you simply can’t grasp how great it is. It takes two days to travel across Texas alone. One of our greatest resources is the American people. They are hardworking folks, innovative, steadfast, and patriotic. They are friendly, and willing to help their neighbors in times of hardships, never considering their race, religion, or color. Labeling Americans as racists is a leftist lie, one of the most egregious lies ever told.

I have written about this is some of my earlier blogs, so allow me to repeat myself. America became an industrial powerhouse beginning in the 1800’s and continued to expand and grow into the 1970’s. All across the USA, Americans were employed by companies of all sizes, making America great and powerful. Then something started to happen ever so slowly. The companies that thrived and grew in this amazing environment, began to get greedy. They saw the potential to increase their profits exponentially by moving their factories to third world nations, taking advantage of very poor people, paying them almost nothing for the work Americans used to do. At first the products were third rate at best. When you purchased products, the first thing you did was look for the “Made in USA” on the box or product. You knew it was a good quality item.

As time passed, more companies moved their operations to foreign countries, and Americans were losing their jobs by the thousands. Small cities that once thrived became ghost towns as the local factories closed. America was becoming much poorer. Suddenly, it wasn’t as important where the product was produced, the price now took precedence. It hasn’t improved much, consider the rise of the dollar stores. America has never really recovered from that major manufacturing shift.

One of the hugely popular campaign promises by Trump was to reverse this trend and bring manufacturing jobs back to the USA. He was only marginally successful, facing huge resistance from enormous multinational corporations and left. Trump’s brief foray as president laid bare, the modern power structure of the USA. Mega tech and mega corporations are now pulling the strings. Lawmakers for the most part simply keep the path clear for them to operate unabated. The left wants the right silenced and threatens the social media giants with major restrictions if they don’t toe the line and censor the conservatives. The huge multinational corporations now own the USA, and they are now destructing the social structure, and reshaping it to suit their needs. They don’t want nuclear families, they want low cost labor. Nuclear families need too much money to exist. You can house workers in row buildings like egg farm chickens, and feed and cloth them and give them a few gadgets, they become robots. Freedom for security, that’s the game.

What we end up with, when the plan has been successfully implemented is two classes, ultra-poor, and ultra-rich. The poor become nothing more than drones, with bleak gray lives, no hope for anything better. The rich will go on living large, private aircraft, boats, lavish vacations and lavish homes. For the rich, life is good. For the poor, they would be better off dead. Slavery will be reborn.

None of this had to happen. If our leaders had embraced the American Dream, and strived to make America the greatest place on earth for all Americans, it could have been the closest thing to utopia ever known. But, instead of thinking of the hard working folks that built this nation, they were blinded by wealth and power. Our government leaders literally squandered the natural wealth and promise of this land in pursuit of personal gain. There is a hard fast rule that never changes. It is foolish to build up riches on this earth, you cannot hold on to them, and Satan always penetrates your life at some point, because you pushed God out, and Satan is always happy to step into the void. Case in point is the Biden family. Joe Biden has pulled every shenanigan in the book to become wealthy, and now that he has reached that point, he is losing his mind, and will die an empty shell of a man, despised and ostracized by those in his own circle.

Had the leaders of this nation taken the high road, managed its resources, and cared for its citizens, and honored the work of our founding fathers, we would be in a much better place today. But alas, they couldn’t see the red, white and blue, being blinded by the glitter of the gold.

The slide into socialism won’t happen quickly, but it will happen. It’s inevitable. Capitalism has simply lost too much ground. The US will probably remain in existence, but it will be majorly different than it once was. At my advanced age, I’m not too worried about how it will affect my life, but I am really worried about my grandchildren and great grandchildren. They may never be able to experience the freedoms that I did.

Sorry that my blog was a bit of a “downer”, but it’s hard to be “up” and giddy considering what our government has morphed into in the past two years. It’s pretty hard to find anything uplifting when everything the government and the mainstream media says are outright lies. It’s hard when you realize the left rigged the election in order to put a highly compromised man in power, and then forced him to choose a vice president that’s as dumb as a rock. I keep thinking I am going to wake up and realize this was a bad dream.

What a waste of one of the greatest gifts ever given to man by God, The United States of America.

VOLUME 25

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling a little insecure right now. Biden seems to be getting stranger all the time, and VP Harris is obviously way out of her league. Biden is in cognitive decline, and I’m not sure if Harris was ever cognitive. They are both a national embarrassment on the world stage.

The world is clearly in a very dangerous condition at the moment, and the United States is completely adrift with no visible leadership. The left is clearly on a mission to destroy all social norms, including the nuclear family. It looks like a Three Stooges movie, everyone is running around in a panic while everything is collapsing, and no one has a clue on what to do. It sort of felt that way during the Obama years, but this is like being on a runaway train. When you hear the president refer to the V.P. as the first lady again and again, and then talk about Putin invading Russia, it’s scary as hell folks.

Gasoline is over $6.00 per gallon in L.A. and a couple of pounds of ground beef is $18.00 ( I saw it with my own eyes yesterday ) Biden gives a speech today, saying his economic plan is working, things are getting better. Where in the hell are they getting better Joe, not in my neighborhood. It cost me just shy of $100.00 to fill the tank in my car yesterday. Sounds like a bit of gaslighting going on here.

Putin is ranting on like a madman, and every time he mentions nukes, the Nato leaders, and Joe Biden dive under their desks. All of the Nato officials and virtually everyone in Washington, are claiming Ukraine’s democracy must be saved. In the meantime, Zelinski, the leader of the so-called democracy just shut down all media outlets except one and jailed his political opponents. Last week the media was saying Zelinski was a modern day Winston Churchill. I’m sure ol’ Winston rolled over in his grave when he heard that. Zelinski is a dictator, Ukraine is a corrupt dictatorship. It’s horrible what is happening to the citizens of Ukraine, but let’s be truthful about it. My wife was born and raised in London, and knows way more about Europe than I ever will, says Putin wants unfettered access to the seaports, and doesn’t give a rip about the rest of Ukraine. That all sound great, but these idiots are about to get us into a very serious armed conflict.

THE GREEN SCHEME

Before you build any type of structure, even a storage shed in your back yard, you have to lay down a foundation to support it. If you don’t, the structure will not last, and quickly deteriorate. The same principle applies to any type of infrastructure system, especially a power grid. Our predecessors were very smart men. They built one of the most reliable power grids in the world. It’s based on coal, natural gas, and hydroelectric power generation. If you live in the west like I do, you appreciate Bonneville Power. Highly reliable service, one of the best, hands down.

Out of nowhere, we have a group of people led by a New York bartender, that thinks she knows more about power generation than the people that built the system in the first place. In fact, she doesn’t know jack shit about anything, she’s a commie moron. The guy who really wrote the ” The New Green Deal” admitted it had nothing to do with green energy, it was about replacing capitalism with socialism. I have an actual copy of the bill as it was presented to Congress. ( see below )

So, imagine if you will, the level of stupidity it takes to propose shutting down a large portion of the power grid associated with fossil fuels, knowing full well that renewables cannot possibly fill the resulting void, at the same time, mandating that all new buildings and cars must be 100% electrically powered. The result will be an economic disaster. The United States will become a third world country overnight. That my friends is how you kill capitalism. It is my opinion that this is the ultimate goal. Out of the resulting chaos, rises a new socialist state, and a one political party system.

Although the bill did not pass, and make its way into law, that isn’t stopping the left from implementing it in pieces by “sleight of hand” techniques.

BIDEN’S TRIP TO EUROPE

I am terrified when this crazy old fool ventures away from home on his own. You should be too. Who knows what kind of agreement he will make with the NATO leaders? I never thought these words would form in my brain but thank God for Congress. At least, we have somewhat of a chance that someone will contest any crazy idea the cadaver puts forth in our behalf.

BIO LABS IN UKRAINE?

So, even though the U.S. Government tried to cover it up, we eventually learned that Covid-19 originated and eventually escaped from the bio-lab in Wuhan, China. We also learned that the U.S. Government was funding that lab. How much money was actually being pumped into that lab, I will guarantee we will never know the answer to that question. Now, we are learning that the U.S. is involved in bio-labs in Ukraine. What is even scarier, is that Hunter Biden is an investor in these labs. What exactly are these labs creating? My guess would be bioweapons. You can be assured it’s in Ukraine because it’s too dangerous to be within the borders of the United States, and has far too much liability connected with it. Just when you think our government couldn’t get more corrupt, they prove you wrong, again and again.

NOBODY KNOWS WHAT A WOMAN IS?

If that question was posed to me, my reply would be; A woman is a female human being. Women are the only human beings capable of giving birth to another human being, and providing nourishment for that infant, produced entirely within her own body. A man can do none of those important functions that perpetuate life on this planet. A man merely plants the seed, the woman bears the fruit of that relationship. Together they form a unison that replenishes life on this planet we call home. A so-called transgender female cannot conceive, cannot bear a child, cannot nourish a child through natural means, cannot fulfill any of the natural functions of a true female. A transgender female is nothing more than an imposter, a male with mutilated genitalia. If you cannot, or are unwilling to describe a woman, you are in fact disrespecting your own mother to the highest degree.

It’s great to be back on the keyboard, calling out the morons, liars and perverts. I didn’t mention politicians because most of them bear at least one of those titles. God bless all of you. Next up, I am going to talk about the upcoming elections. I have some serious concerns about how that is going to work out. More later.

The past two weeks have been amazing. We logged in 3,825 miles on the trusty Suburban, traveled across four states, and feasted our eyes on the beauty of America, and reunited with friends and family. Said goodby to an old friend that turned ninety last Saturday, I know I won’t see him alive again. Saw great grandchildren for the first time. It’s been years since I did a trip like this, probably won’t do it again. I have crisscrossed the western United States many times in my life, enjoyed every minute of the adventures. William Least Heatmoon, a native American writer, wrote a book called “Blue Highways”. I followed his journey part way across the upper western United States, in my truck and camper, saw some magnificent sights. If you really want to get acquainted with what America is all about, that’s the only way to do it. Below is a picture of a blue highway we traveled in Nevada last week.

I stood on the centerline and took a picture in both directions, each one is identical. No people, no cars, no buildings, just nature. No sounds, no wind, just absolute solitude. Something not often experienced in our daily lives. When I took the blue highway trip in the early late sixties, both of my girls were very young. We were on a highway in Kansas, very similar to the picture above, except thousands of acres of wheat on both sides of the highway, and not a soul or car anywhere to be seen. Being southern Californians, I wanted my daughters to have an experience. I pulled the truck off the road, shut off the engine and stood in the middle of the highway. The only sound was the wind in the wheat. Not far off the highway was an old fashioned windmill, spinning in the wind. I took them down the entry road to the base of the windmill and stood at the base and listened to it creaking and squeaking, and the wind rustling the wheat. In my mind I was creating a lifetime memory. I will guarantee that if I asked them today if they remembered that moment, their response would be; ” we were in Kansas? “

I will tell you how I know this. I came home from work on Friday afternoon, told my wife and girls to get the camper loaded up, we would be leaving right away. They asked where we were going. I said, “we are going to drive all night and watch the sunrise on the rim of the Grand Canyon. It will be a once in a lifetime experience. We arrived at the rim of the canyon about 4:00 am. When daylight started to break, we sat up our chairs facing the east. It was cold, the girls were wrapped in blankets. My oldest daughter said, ” what are we doing again?” I reminded her we were there for the sunrise. Everything came off as planned, I was very proud I was able to give them this special memory. About 30 odd years later, at a family gathering, I mentioned that historic morning. They both looked at me with blank stares, neither of them remembered it.

My youngest daughter loved horses. On our family famous “blue highway” tour, we stopped at a general store in Montana literally in the middle of nowhere, no other signs of life anywhere. We went inside to get some road snacks and a young boy about my daughters age was sitting on the bench in front of the store, in traditional cowboy attire, well-worn and a bit dirty. He had a cast on his arm. My daughter was not, and never has been bashful. She engaged him in conversation and asked how he broke his arm. His reply; ” ridin’ them wild horses”. I will guarantee you my daughter who is now 62 can recite that conversation verbatim but can’t remember the sunrise at the Grand Canyon. Go figure.

Traversing the United States by automobile, or similar conveyances, is exciting, and rewarding. I literally have hundreds of stories to tell about auto travel via two lane blacktop roads. Countless songs and stories have been written about life on the road. My father traveled to California from Oklahoma and back, by hitch hiking and riding freight trains looking for work in the 1930’s. I must have heard his stories a hundred times, but never got tired of hearing them one more time. You can still have those experiences today. I just experienced two weeks on the road, seeing things I never saw before. Yep, gas was expensive, I went through 221 gallons of that wonderful stuff. It’s wonderful stuff, because it’s freedom. Sometimes you have to bear a little pain to experience freedom.

If you can afford it, give the Democrats the finger and burn the hell of gasoline. Let ’em know they aren’t going to deprive you of the great pleasure of the open highways. I can’t enumerate the FJB and Let’s go Brandon signs we saw along the way on businesses and painted on the back windows of SUV’s and Pickups. It’s good to know the true feelings of America, not what you see on TV. That’s the kind of information you get on the roads. Go see for yourself.

God bless you and your families. Stay safe, stay vigilant. Vote the bastards out of office.

This doesn’t have anything to do with recent news, but I was sort of dumbstruck today when I looked at the date, and the realization that my parents were married on this day 94 years ago. I’m not sure why it had such an impact on me today, but it did. Maybe because it was a reminder of how old I am getting. Oh well, it was bound to happen.

RUSSIA AND UKRAINE: This is really getting into territory that I know absolutely nothing about other than what I read and hear on the news outlets. What I mean about that, is I have no idea what would drive a world power to engage in blatant aggression and invade a much smaller nation for no apparent reason. This is what I think will happen, based on the chatter I am hearing from European leaders. It has been 77 years since the follies of Adolf Hitler and the brutality he inflicted on the world. This kind of action is totally abhorrent to people of today. This is an extremely “bad look” for Russia when innocent citizens start getting slaughtered by the thousands. The only nation that will remain friendly with Russia will be China.

Russia will end up being a pariah nation. It could end up destroying the Russian economy and the end of Putin’s reign. Putin is a smart guy, so why would he play such a poker hand? I think his strategy is based on current USA weakness in leadership, both in the white house, and the pentagon. I think he sees the free world as being without an effective leader.

I believe the invasion of Ukraine is a strategy by Russia and China, to draw Nato and the US into a very bloody conflict, betting that another world war would spell the end of the free world forever, Russia and China being the victors and world rulers, dividing the spoils of war.

For the sake of the conversation, let’s say that indeed happened. The scale of conflict would be something horrifying, like the world has never seen. The mere existence of inter-continental ballistic missiles would mean everybody gets to experience the devastation of all-out warfare. The carnage would be unbelievable. It could literally spell the end of humanity. If you would like to see what could actually happen, watch the old movie from 1959 titled ” On the Beach”. It was also a book by Nevil Shute.

BIDEN’S ROLE AND HOW HE IS HANDLING UKRAINE CRISIS: Five minute news conferences, afternoon naps, and weekend trips to Delaware. Aside from that he doesn’t seem to be doing much at all. Don’t know about all of you, but I wasn’t expecting much more. It sure as hell would have helped Ukraine, if the dumbass had taken all of the stuff we left in Afghanistan and parked it in Kiev.

PRICE OF OIL: While Putin is waging war on the Ukrainians for being Ukrainians, the Democrats are waging war against everyone, including their fellow Democrats. Biden and his New Green Deal zealots, refuse to resume drilling of oil and gas and we are about to experience $5.00 or more per gallon gasoline. Biden will tell us tomorrow night in his SOTU address how we should be happy to be able to sacrifice for the good of the nation, while the USA continues to buy millions of gallons of oil a day from Putin and the Mullahs of Iran. I’m not sure about you, but this seems like fuckery to me.

I am remembering the times during the cold war with Russia, we had really tough guys in power, they stood up to Russia. I remember the videos of the meetings, they all wore hats and overcoats, and looked like the mafia. I think it’s time to close up shop for the night before I make myself so depressed, I won’t be able to sleep.

God bless all of you and your families. Stay safe and pray for America and its return to greatness, to a tower of strength to keep the world safe.

FEBRUARY 22, 2022

A moment of looking back on history, will tell you, the world has always been a very dangerous place. There seems to be a never-ending supply of meatheads that want to dominate every square inch of it. Here we go again.

Russia seems to be a breeding ground for aggressive assholes with dreams of grandeur. A very long line of strong U.S. presidents, and strong Eruopean leaders kept Russia at bay for a lot of years. The formation of NATO also became a strong deterrent. But alas, rot and decay has set in, and the western nations have become weak and flabby, more concerned about transgender restrooms than foreign policy. The politicians are in bed with the big corporations and media, and we are slowly sinking into a fascist society. We are also looking at two very formidable opponents, if they become allied against the US, in my opinion, cannot be defeated.

Over the past several weeks, we have witnessed Canadian government become a dictatorship. The police have been transformed into Trudeau’s “goon squads”. The Canadian government has confiscated private citizens bank accounts and seized crowd funding donations. People who would flee to the US, will likely be prevented from doing that. Sounds a lot like the old Soviet Union does it not. How long will it be before Trudeau declares that all personal property is now owned by the Canadian government? But what is very disturbing, is how easily it was accomplished. No riots, no gunfire, the government just suddenly confiscated the money. It’s pretty hard to mount an offensive if you’re broke, and have no food, or gas for your vehicles.

This is exactly how governments become dictatorships. Slowly, and gradually, creeping into every aspect of your lives. Dominating public schools, creating thousands of seemingly innocuous regulations, written by bureaucrats not lawmakers. These life changing regulations come out of the darkness, many of them with evil intent. They just keep piling up, until they smother the life out of business and creativity.

All of this happens because of complacency on part of the general population. People don’t pay attention, they trust the people they put in power, never dreaming that these same people, would do anything against the Constitution. Hey, they stood before God and the public and took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Get real, politicians are liars. They have always been liars, and likely always will be.

Here is a bit of news you may not have heard. After hearing it, you may wish you hadn’t. The Democrats are planning on invoking the Fourteenth Amendment, section 3, on all Senators and Representatives, seeking re-election that they deem as engaging in insurrection, or giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the state. So, now you know what the January 6th Commission is all about. The Democrats are working hard to tag as many Republican lawmakers as possible, as being guilty of giving aid and comfort to the insurrectionists. The DOJ is going about arresting hundreds of people that attended that rally, for no other reason than to enlarge the image.

This is how far ahead the Democrats plan this stuff. When they found out Trump was going to have his Capitol rally, they went into action. The Deep state is in this up to their eyeballs. They told the Capitol police to minimize their reaction to the protestors. they refused to activate the National Guard. They placed FBI agents in the crowd to incite violence and instigate entering the Capital building. The left immediately tagged it as an insurrection, so the Fourteenth Amendment could be put into play against the Republican lawmakers. Do you remember when Chuck Schumer said Donald Trump was foolish for going against the deep state? He said; “those guys have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you”. And that my friends just played out before your eyes, over the past year and a half. Trump is a smart guy, but he’s no match for the “deep state”. By the way, in case you haven’t noticed, the ” deep state” is definitely on the left side of the center line. The United States Government has become a living breathing entity, it is no longer a government of the people by the people and for the people, it is a government unto itself, hell bent on self-preservation, willing to do whatever it deems necessary to remain intact.

One thing I have noticed in my time here on earth. God has planted a lot of stuff in nature, for us to learn from. Cancer is one of those things. The nature of cancer is that once it establishes itself, it starts feeding off of the host, eventually consuming all vital functions, and the host slowly dies. This has played out in hundreds of nations in history. They are consumed by their own governmental greed and corruption to the point they are unstainable. It is political cancer. The United States in my opinion is in a stage four status at the moment. The Democrats seem hellbent on driving this country into a ditch.

But here is the strangest part. The left is clever enough to come up with elaborate plans to decimate the Republicans, like January 6th, that reaches out two years into the future, and yet the best people they have is Joe and Kamala? These two individuals are nothing short of buffoons. That says to me, it doesn’t matter who is out in front, the real leaders are behind the curtain. It’s clear, Joe is nothing but a front man, someone that is authorized to sign documents. Kamala is there to appease the minorities, totally incapable of doing the actual job she was elected to do. Well, elected is a bit of a stretch, but you get it. Joe is way out of Putin’s league, having a summit with Vlad on the world stage would be a total disaster, everyone knows it, especially Vlad. So, who is really running the show? If they were smart enough to perpetrate this scheme, and take over all branches of the government, why do they look so lame doing it?

Joe, Kamala, Mayor Pete, Mayorkas, Austin, Milley, Blinken, and all the rest are buffoons. All of the blacks that Biden installed in the DOJ, are blatant raciest. The entire group is probably the most incompetent assembly in my lifetime. They collectively disparaged the police, and glorified the criminals, (especially black criminals) which has resulted in open season on cops. The government gave a clear message that it was OK to kill cops. Well, BLM actually put out the message, but the government is in full support of BLM. As a matter of fact, now that I am thinking about this, the Biden administration seems to be 100% behind anything that is anti-social behavior.

On one hand I am totally impressed at the elaborate schemes the Democrats are able to concoct, on the other hand they look like idiots. Are they just lucky, getting in a lick now and then, or is this some grand scheme that is so grandiose that we are unable to recognize it? How are they going to benefit from the nation going from hyperinflation to a deep recession? I have heard some say, the intent is to totally break the system, then claim to be the only ones able to fix it. I think the fix would be a socialist form of government.

Whatever happens, I can guarantee that we the people are going to be the major losers. When a government reforms, everything is done to make the government stronger, and the general population weaker. The government never sees the general population as participants, they only see you as worker bees. That’s the way they view you now, it will only get worse. This last presidential election was not decided by the voters, Biden was installed. It is highly likely that you will never see another free and fair election. Elections may still be held, but they will be for show only.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I feel that we are approaching a turning point in this country. I can’t say if it’s going to be good or bad, but something is going to happen. Chaos is reaching an unsustainable level. If you think I am exaggerating, take a look at Seattle and Portland. These two cities used to be beautiful, peaceful, and welcoming. They have turned into virtual hell holes. Los Angeles and San Francisco have always been borderline, they too have gone over the edge. We are at a point now, that law abiding citizens should be armed at all times, you can no longer depend on law enforcement.

My dear friends and patriots, stay safe, stay vigilant, fight for the right in whatever capacity you are able.

I’ve made an executive decision. Since there isn’t anyone else involved in creating this blog, other than the leftist fools I love to write about, I consider myself the CEO, and Exalted Leader. My executive decision is that going forward, this blog will consist of two formats. Snapshots Of the News, and The View from St. Charles.

I was reflecting on my childhood today, old people tend to do that a lot. Truthfully, I don’t do that a lot, but I have friends that do, and frankly, it’s extremely boring. One of my friends has a ton of old pictures of himself on his phone and loves to start a conversation about the old days, and suddenly whip out his phone and engage in “show and tell”. That’s when I say, ” sorry pal, I’m about to pee my pants”, and excuse myself, then never return. He’s either never figured out my escape plan or doesn’t care.

I think what triggered my thoughts on my childhood, was reading about what our little kids are experiencing in today’s classrooms. Holy cow, it’s nothing less than madness. What effect is it going to have on their little brains? I can’t imagine how confusing it is.

I was born in 1941 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at home, in the house my father built with a collection of very basic tools. (All cordless by the way). I want to make sure I give my mother credit in this endeavor; she was one of the hardest working women I have ever known. She was a 4′-10″ tall giant. I don’t think that woman had an ounce of fear in her body. We lived on the outskirts of Tulsa, sort of in the Twighlight zone between city and farmlands. The house I was born in, still exists believe it or not. My folks built a good strong house, in more ways than one. They raised four kids in that house until the interstate took it out. The state bought it and it was moved to another location not far away, and we all moved into a brand-new house. Myself and my siblings were hard working folks, just like Mom and Dad, everybody stayed on the right side of the law, and had successful lives. Everyone is gone now, except me. I am proud to have been a member of that clan, and it is an honor, to be the offspring of those two fine individuals of such strong moral character.

OK, here is the part about walking to school in the snow, uphill in both directions. Well, it wasn’t uphill in both directions, but I walked to school from kindergarten until I was 16, in the rain, snow, sleet, whatever mother nature conjured up. My parents only had one car, and my dad drove it to work. In those days, we had “home rooms” where we reported each morning. Probably still the same. The teacher asked us to stand and recite the “Pledge of Allegiance”, then we recited the “Lord’s Prayer”. She called roll, and we got down to business. School was no nonsense, you either paid attention and did the work, or they would fail you. If you were really bad, they would fail you for the year, and you had to do that year over. The prospect of that was terrifying. I only saw that happen a couple of times, nobody wanted to stay back while their friends advanced to the next grade level. Great incentive by the way.

I loved being outdoors, except when it was raining. It wasn’t real smart to play outside in the rain in Oklahoma, always a possibility of lightning. As soon as the rain stopped, I was outside, with anything that would float, putting it in the drainage ditches and running along side it. Those same drainage ditches usually had standing water in them, and crawdads, as we called them when we were kids. We caught our share of those critters. When we weren’t catching crawdads, we were wandering around the woods to the south, with our Daisy BB guns, shooting anything that moved. (Nobody ever lost an eye) Then when we wanted a bigger adventure, we walked about a 1/4 mile to the big creek and caught tadpoles, put them into quart jars. Saw a lot of tadpoles turn into frogs in my day.

About a block down the road we had some Dutch neighbors, that owned a small dairy. My mother used to send me down the street to buy a couple of quarts of milk. I loved that assignment. Those folks were always really nice to me and would always give me a glass of warm milk directly from the cow. If you have never had that experience, you have missed out. Across the street from the dairy was a pear tree, best pears I ever tasted.

When you grow up being outdoors, and around farms most of the time, it’s amazing how much you learn about nature, even as a little kid. You learn what’s OK to touch, and what not to touch. You see life and death in real time. You quickly learn how to identify electric fences. You learn how to stay out of trouble and stay safe when there aren’t any adults around to supervise your actions. Of course, my mom and dad taught us how to stay safe as well. All of that said, here is a very strange fact. I grew up around creeks, rivers, lakes and ponds. My mother and father were strong swimmers, both of my sisters were swimmers. Nobody ever taught me how to swim, and I came very close to drowning while we were at a family picnic on the lake. I was going down the third time and my oldest sister pulled me out of the water. Even after that, none of them took the time to teach me how to swim. When I was about ten years old, I used to go to the public pool with my little girlfriend, she taught me how to swim. I still don’t know why nobody in my family was interested in teaching me how to swim. I had two daughters, and I taught them how to swim when they were very young.

I loved the summer evenings in Oklahoma when I was a kid. We had a huge yard and my cousins would come over and we would play until we were worn out. I’ll bet we must have caught a thousand fireflies and put them in quart jars. My dad would buy a huge watermelon, and everyone would eat watermelon until we could barely walk. Seems like there is always a penalty for having fun. Rolling around in the cool green grass with your cousins and friends, always yielded a good crop of “chigger bites”. Thank goodness for Calamine Lotion.

Seriously, it was a great life. No TV, one land line telephone on a “party line”. We listened to the radio shows when we couldn’t play outside. My mom was a great cook, we had a huge garden with fresh vegetables, even grew peanuts on occasion. My dad was a very good fisherman, we had fresh bass and catfish often. Sometimes we would go down to the creek and catch big bullfrogs and have fried frog legs. My mom was no shrinking violet, she would cook anything from frogs to squirrels to rabbits.

I’m a pretty busy guy, but when I do stop and reflect on my life, I thank God for letting me live in the best of times. Life was simple, crime was not even on the radar. Nobody in our small neighborhood locked their doors. If you needed to borrow something from your neighbor and they weren’t home, you borrowed it and left a note. Everyone looked out for each other. We played outside after dark, no worries. I would tell my mom I was going for a ride on my bicycle and be gone for hours. We lived in virtually total freedom in every way. I know freedom, I love freedom, I cherish it. We must not allow the leftist morons to steal it away from us.

God bless all of you, and your families. Stay strong, fight for your rights and freedom any way you are able.

My DNA, according to Ancestory.com, says I’m mostly British, Scottish, and Irish. Which is kind of odd because I have a French surname. It turns out that I’m only 9% French thank God. I’m extremely proud to be a mixture of the of those glorious blood lines. But I’m especially proud to be a bit Scottish. I’m really happy I was born a male, and the ancient Scots were the ultimate males. So, in keeping with the modern trend, I identify as Scottish. I have a magnificent kilt, hand made in Glasgow, with an official Prince Charlie Jacket, and all of the accessories. When I wear my kilt, with a dagger on my belt, and a knife in my stocking, I feel very manly. That’s me in the picture below, first one on the left.

All of this northern European linage, of course means I’m very white. But my whiteness is tempered with a little Italian, and 1% South Asian, and of course the cursory bit of Spanish.

We just happen to be living in an age that being white is some kind of curse. I find that disturbing to say the least, because I’m damn proud to be white, and a bit Scottish. As a matter of fact, wearing a kilt makes it quite easy to bare my butt so if anyone doesn’t like my whiteness, they can kiss it.

The ancient Scotts were freedom lovers. They fought the Brits valiantly to maintain their freedom. Scotts were some of the fiercest warriors to ever walk on to a field of battle. They were totally willing to die for freedom.

THE DECLARATION OF ARBROATH – SCOTLAND 1320

“AS LONG AS A HUNDRED OF US REMAIN ALIVE, WE WILL NEVER BE SUBJECT TO TYRANNICAL DOMINION, BECAUSE IT IS NOT FOR GLORY OR RICHES THAT WE FIGHT, BUT FOR FREEDOM ALONE WHICH NO WORTHY MAN LOSES EXCEPT WITH HIS LIFE.”

John Knox, the reformer, born 1514 was a Scottish minister and theologian. He lead the country’s reformation and founded the Presbyterian movement. John Knox’s life was an incredible journey, and contributed greatly to the struggle for genuine human freedom. It is impossible in this blog to cover his life. Go to Wikipedia and read about this incredible man.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Knox

Scotland is a country rich in history and culture. Scotts are great inventors, engineers, and warriors, and just plain tough. Scotland is not a particularly hospitable place to live, so if you can survive there, you can probably survive anywhere. Take the time to study Scotland, and its history, check out the beautiful castles and bridges. The British destroyed Dunnottar, my ancestors castle, check out what’s left of it, and the story behind its destruction.

Am I the rugged, tough guy that William Wallace ( Brave Heart ) was? Not even close. But I’m extremely proud to have a little bit of that glorious Scottish blood. The love of freedom has certainly made its way down through the generations and resides in my heart.

I’m proud to be a white, Anglo Saxon, protestant. Don’t even think about suggesting that I not be. My heritage contains some of the greatest men and women that ever walked on this earth. Don’t misunderstand, I’m not suggesting my heritage is better than yours, and don’t suggest yours is somehow better than mine, and we will get along gloriously.

Never stop fighting for total freedom from any and all kinds of tyranny. It’s a worthy battle, worth losing your life for.

I don’t really know when I started learning about the Constitution and Bill of Rights in public school. I do know however, they made it pretty damned clear, nobody could nullify those documents. What was written in the founding documents was cast in stone, and as close to eternal as anything ever created by man. I just assumed, as most everyone else did, those words were gospel.

I’m eighty years old, and I totally believed that story up to April of 2020. For 78 long years, I believed that unless another nation were to take over the United States, my freedom and rights were 100% guaranteed. PERIOD!!! Then I watched President Trump turn over power to the states to combat Covid 19. The day he did that, I cringed. I knew at that moment this nation was going to change, possibly forever. I have never told anyone this before, but I felt, Trump betrayed the American people when he handed over the power to the states. President Trump made a huge mistake by not standing tall, and managing the Covid crisis from the White House. He could have controlled it far better, and we would have been out of this much quicker.

I know this sounds like Monday morning quarterbacking, but solving problems with a central management team, will outperform managing by committee every single time. Many times in my life, I have been assigned to a committee to manage a particular issue. It is the worst approach to management you can ever do. Turning over the management of the so-called pandemic to the states, was 50 committees, without a chairperson. Once President Trump did that, he lost all control. He had the people that could have done it. His cabinet was comprised of some of the brightest minds available. Why he handed off the ball, we will probably never know. One thing I do know, it was a monumental blunder.

The glaring message that came from all of this, came through loud and clear, your rights can be taken away in a heartbeat under the right conditions, and you are totally powerless to reverse it. Getting our power back is not going to be easy. Ask any Canadian.

Any government that ever existed on the face of the earth, always seeks total and complete power over the people, it’s an act of self-preservation. That’s what governments do. The Constitution and Bill of Rights kept the power-hungry wolves away for a very long time. Sadly, they finally chewed their way through the doors and are now threatening our way of life and freedom.

Governments are very sinister. They manage to creep into your lives unnoticed and lay down a mine field to keep you in line. The mine fields are licenses and regulations. With each one of the licenses and regulations comes a fine, penalty, or jail time if you dare violate them. You saw this play out hundreds of times over the past two years. A bar owner decides he is not going to comply with the mandates and stay open. The local government just suspends his liquor license, turns off his water and gas, and bingo, he is out of business. The government controls every single lever that makes it possible for you to survive. Now that you know and understand it, what are you gonna do about it? You have no one to turn to, the government controls the law enforcement, the military and can even shut down the availability to obtain fuel through emergency powers acts. The Canadian government is confiscating fuel belonging to the truckers so they can’t run their rigs and stay warm. They are literally freezing them out.

I hear people bravely holding up the second amendment saying our privately owned guns will allow us to defend ourselves against a tyrannical government. I’m not so sure that would work. Guess who controls the manufacturing of ammunition? The Federal government can make ammo very scarce, very quickly by taking control of the munitions companies. It’s true we have a lot of brave souls that would take up arms, but they are just small groups of guys, with little or no equipment, and no central command. Communications with each other would be instantly monitored by the phone companies who would be totally on the government side.

Armed resistance is not totally out of the question, but if you want to know what that looks like, check out Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libia, or most anywhere in the middle east. The countryside becomes a hell scape. Life becomes dispensable, and very bleak. The US government may as well have posted a gigantic sign on the Capitol lawn, directed anyone that dared take on the establishment, that they would find the deepest hole possible, throw you in it, and forget where they left you.

Stop and think about it, and I think you will realize our only hope is to slowly and gradually take back our government through conventional means. We have allowed the government to get out of control. As conservatives, we are going to have to change the way we operate. We are going to have to become forceful, in your face adversaries of the left. We are going to have to throw out all the old, tired warhorses, and replace them with young energetic warriors for freedom. We are going to have to be willing to fight hard for what we believe and quit rolling over on our backs like a cowardly canine. Forget the romantic visions of civil warfare and storming the capitol. The odds of being successful with that approach are not good. There is a very successful campaign going on right now, a beach head if you will, with the parents taking over the school boards. That is a huge step in the right direction.

In closing, don’t mistake my remarks about Donald Trump as me being a “never Trumper”. I think the guy is a brilliant leader, some people are put off by his direct speech. I think it’s great. For whatever reason I think he trusted people that ultimately betrayed him in hopes he would fail. In spite of it all, his accomplishments were huge.

Stay safe, stay strong, pick the battles you can win, little by little we can take it back. God Bless all of you and your families.
