NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON AS OF LATE

With virtually blanket coverage of events everywhere, posted on You Tube, X, Tik Tok, and hundreds of other social media platforms, its hard to put this into perspective. For the first time in history we are looking at the world through an electronic microscope. Every murder, kidnapping, hit and run, robbery, rape, fraud, you name it, we are seeing them almost as they happen.

Because of this relatively recent phenomenon, its hard to judge if the world is actually that much more dangerous, or are we just being made aware of something that has always been there but couldn’t see it. I live in a small town in comparison to a large urban area, so I rarely witness any criminal activity myself, but the local newspapers chronicle nefarious activities which in comparison to a large city are pretty minor.

Allow me to bring this into focus. Prior to Rudy Giuliani taking over as mayor of New York City in 1994, the city was out of control. Crime was absolutely “over the top”. Through heavy handed policing and harsh criminal penalties, he cleaned it up and made the streets safe again. Chicago has always been a crime ridden nightmare. Back in the thirties and forties, Los Angeles was notorious for gang activity. Look up “Zoot Suiters”.

AI Overview – copied from Google.com search engine

The history of “zoot-suiters” is tied to a distinctive 1940s fashion trend that grew into a symbol of rebellion and ethnic pride, particularly for Mexican Americans and African Americans. The trend sparked intense backlash, especially during World War II, due to the suits’ use of fabric, which was seen as unpatriotic. This led to the 1943 Zoot Suit Riots, a series of violent clashes between servicemen and civilians against zoot-suiters in Los Angeles.

Origins and cultural significance

The zoot suit originated in New York and Chicago in the late 1930s, adapted from the British “drape” suit and popularized by African American communities and jazz musicians.

It featured high-waisted, baggy pants that were pegged at the ankle and long, oversized jackets with wide lapels. For young Mexican American men in Los Angeles, the suit became a symbol of their “pachuco” subculture, representing a distinct identity and defiance of “Juan Crow” laws and discrimination. It was seen as a statement of style, swagger, and rebellion against societal norms and authority.

Wartime controversy and the Zoot Suit Riots

During World War II, the suits were criticized by the white press and servicemen as wasteful and unpatriotic because of the large amount of fabric they required.

Zoot-suiters were often accused of being draft dodgers. Tensions between servicemen and zoot-suiters, particularly Mexican American youth, boiled over in the summer of 1943. The Zoot Suit Riots occurred over several days in June 1943, during which mobs of servicemen and white civilians attacked zoot-suiters in Los Angeles. The violence, which went largely unchecked by police who often arrested the victims, highlighted deep-seated racial tensions and discrimination in American society.

Aftermath and legacy

The zoot suit riots are recognized as a significant event in Chicano history and racial unrest in the United States.

The legal convictions in the related Sleepy Lagoon murder case, which disproportionately targeted Mexican American youths, were eventually overturned, but the case fueled anti-Mexican American sentiment. The zoot suit has continued to reappear in popular culture, most notably during the Chicano Rights Movement in the 1960s and as a retro fashion in the 1990s.

WHAT’S DIFFERENT???

This is part speculation, and part opinion on my part. We still have the quintessential Mexican and Black gangs roaming the streets causing trouble, likely not going to change anytime soon. But thanks to our brilliant Democrat politicians who thought it would be a grand idea to let every low life criminal in the world take up residence in the good ol’ USA, we now have another problem. These so-called immigrants / asylum seekers came carrying the flags and banners of their home countries. These young men were coming to establish a “beach head,” to establish a new homeland, not to become Americans. Thus, they have no intention of obeying US laws and customs. Their lack of respect for women is manifesting itself in child molestation and rape. Because a lot of this is happening in the communities they have established, only a portion of these crimes ever gets punished.

Next, we have a potential disaster waiting to happen due to the growing number of Islamic immigrants. These people have their sites on conquering America. Don’t believe me? Look into it for yourselves. They have no desire to become Americans, that is 180 degrees opposed to their religious beliefs.

Beware of those who go to great lengths to make it sound like Islam is the religion of peace and call anyone that disagrees an “Islamaphobe”. If that were the case, the middle east would not be in a constant state of warfare. There are thousands of Muslims living in America who desire to live under Sharia law as opposed to the laws of the United States. If this is difficult for you to grasp, look at what is happening in England, France and Germany. Muslims are burning churches and Cathedrals in Europe, and raping European women and girls. This is not hearsay, look into for yourselves. You are not going to get the truth by looking for this information on Google, Wikipedia or other left leaning sites.

Google tries to water down this report, but reading between the lines, a lot of strife and stress is being caused simply by these people being who they are and unwilling to adapt to English laws and customs. They want England to be transformed into Syria or some other Muslim hell hole.

AI Overview

There is no official category of “Islamic crime” in England, as the country’s legal system addresses crimes based on secular law, not religious affiliation

. However, specific crimes in England have been committed by individuals motivated by interpretations of Islam. These include terrorist acts by Islamic extremists, so-called “honor”-based abuse, and vigilantism, such as the “Muslim Patrols”.

Terrorism related to Islamic extremism

The UK’s intelligence service, MI5, reported in 2023 that 75% of its counter-terrorism caseload was focused on Islamist threats.
The Counter Terrorism Police network also reported that in 2023, 80% of its live investigations were related to Islamist extremism.
Since the 2000s, most major terror attacks in the UK have been linked to Islamist extremism.
The government’s Prevent strategy, which aims to counter radicalization, has historically received a significant portion of its referrals for concerns related to Islamist extremism, though recent data indicates a more even split with right-wing radicalization.

“Honor”-based abuse and violence

“Honor”-based abuse (HBA) refers to violent or coercive behavior used to control individuals who are believed to have shamed their family or community. In the UK, it is estimated that one woman or girl is killed each month in the name of “honor”.
Such crimes can include forced marriage, female genital mutilation, and murder.
While not specific to any one religion, HBA in the UK is largely seen within certain South Asian and Middle Eastern families, with some cases linked to extremist interpretations of Islam.

Vigilantism and “Sharia patrols”

In the 2010s, groups of self-styled “Muslim patrols” operated in parts of East London, intimidating and harassing individuals for perceived violations of Islamic law.
Members of these patrols were filmed confronting people for drinking alcohol, dressing in certain ways, and other actions they deemed un-Islamic.
The individuals involved were arrested and prosecuted for their illegal actions. Their actions were condemned by the wider Muslim community and Islamic organizations, such as the East London Mosque.

Hate crimes against Muslims

Muslims are also disproportionately the victims of crime in England. According to Home Office data for the year ending March 2025, Muslims were the target in 45% of all religious hate crimes recorded by police, despite making up only a small fraction of the population.
Incidents of Islamophobia, including verbal abuse, vandalism, and physical attacks, have surged in recent years, often correlating with real-world events and inflammatory rhetoric.

Terrorism in the United Kingdom – WikipediaThe aftermath of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which killed 270 people. It was the deadliest terrorist attack in UK Wikipedia

In my opinion, it’s getting harder and harder to get a true reading on what is happening, because the keepers of the facts are not reliable players. It’s likely to get even tougher with the gate keepers of truth not even being human beings. Everyone is going to have to be diligent in seeking out the real truth. But trust me, its going to get harder and harder. The reporters of truth will likely become targets of censorship or out and out banishment. The “No Kings” protestors are barking up the wrong tree.

God Bless you all. Stay safe and always seek the truth in all things.

STARTING OVER

I actually started writing this blog eight days ago, and wasn’t happy with the way it was progressing. I felt like I was repeating myself for the umpteenth time. So, l just parked it, and per my usual routine, kind of semi paid attention to what was going on in the news. While I’m watching people protesting, and demonstrating against law enforcement, I started wondering to myself why they have such blatant disregard for law and order, and a completely convoluted view of America.

When I start thinking about this subject, an incident from the past always comes to the forefront of my mind. The United States of America was once a much more righteous nation than it is today. Hollywood has been hanging on the edge of creating smut for the masses since the beginning. Enter Mae West. The character of Mae West is what you would imagine the madam of the local house of ill repute to be. Her performances didn’t sit well with the Christian leaders of the day. A delegation of Christian ministers visited the Hollywood studios and demanded they tone down the rhetoric. Hollywood caved, immediately. They got the message loud and clear. Imagine how quickly the smut mongers would have taken movies down to the pornography level if the Christian right had not stepped in. Hollywood eventually got there, because the Christian right didn’t follow up and keep the heat on.

You may think of it as a small thing, but trust me, it was not small thing. The people behind the curtailment of the Pledge of Allegiance and reciting the Lord’s Prayer in public schools knew exactly what they were doing. They were consciously disconnecting the youngsters from God and patriotism. They two biggest enemies of communism. And, once again, the Christian right did nothing. Not a single blow was thrown.

Good ol’ rock and roll music. Nobody likes it better than me. It was born when I was a teenager and holy smoke, what a ride. Elvis, Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, c’mon man, it was gooood times. Then came the sixties and the smut mongers know good thing when they see it. The music slowly digressed into glorifying drugs, sex, and lots of hidden messages. It has been going downhill ever since. Watching rock performers today is ugly. No other words to describe it. Smiley Virus makes me wanna puke. Black musicians are even worse. It’s not music, it’s soft porn. I’m not seeing any push back from anyone anymore, the Christian right has completely capitulated.

There has been a slow dwindling of the numbers of people attending Sunday services for years. A big part of the problem is the dwindling of two parent families. I would imagine that a single parent is pretty exhausted by the time Sunday comes around and getting everyone dressed and off to church is not a high priority. On the surface it seems like sort of a benign problem, but it’s far from it. Religion is one of the single most important things in a young person’s life for many reasons. It teaches humility, respect for others, respect for one’s self, and obedience to the laws of God and man. Religion is an essential building block for a strong society and nation. I’m not seeing too many Christians trying to sell God’s plan. (Charlie was hard at it, let’s see how many take up the baton)

Public school boards were infiltrated with left leaning folks years ago and started the transition from traditional education to what we are seeing today. The older teachers started retiring sometime around the 1960’s and were being replaced by the young progressives just out of college. It was the beginning of the perfect storm about to devastate education. All of the things I spoke about above combined with the progressive mindset of educators has not turned out well. We have a whole generation or two of entitled people who think they are special, and the rules don’t apply to them. So, once again, where were the conservative Christians that could have been raising hell and shouting, and putting up a good fight?

When you hear someone say; ” we have to have a two party system to maintain a balance.” My reply is, that’s true as long as both parties are willing to debate and fight for that balance. If one side is sitting on it’s collective behind and not paying attention (talking about Republicans here) they aren’t really that viable are they? I have personally witnessed the apathy on the conservative side. (Mitt Romney come to mind) In my opinion they deserve a damn good portion of blame when discussing the current state of our nation. You damn sure can’t say the Democrats have been sitting on their behinds, they had a plan and executed it pretty darn well. Right down to rigging the 2020 election in a spectacular fashion. They did it so well they were able to elect a person that was mentally unfit from day one, then covered it up for four years, while doing everything in their power to destroy the nation and the Republican party.

Thanks to Donald J. Trump and the MAGA Republicans we have awakened a force to be reckoned with. We are now giving Dems a taste of their own medicine, and they are having a very hard time swallowing it. It will take a very long time to undo the damage that two- and one-half terms of Obama has done to this nation and it’s good citizens. Let’s hope we can wrangle two more presidential terms with J.D. Vance and keep the momentum going. In the meantime, do whatever you’re able to do the further the cause, to break the backs of the leftist who have done so much damage to our beloved nation. God Bless all of you, stay safe, stay alert.

WHITE PRIVILEGE???

Privilege, prerogative refer to a special advantage or right possessed by an individual or group. A privilege is a right or advantage gained by birth, social position, effort, or concession. It can have either legal or personal sanction: the privilege of paying half fare; the privilege of calling whenever one wishes.

I am qualified to write about this with absolute authority having lived for almost 85 years in the USA as a white Christian male. As a white teenager, my two friends and I were arrested and jailed overnight for driving through a small Oklahoma town at 2:00 am because we were in a bright colored car. The police said they had a report of a car matching the description that was involved in some type of disturbance. We were just coming home from hanging out at the lake swimming. We were released the next morning without charges. They just wanted us off the street. So much for white privilege.

A few years later, while driving my own car, my friend and I were going home after hanging out at a drive-in restaurant in downtown Tulsa. We lived on the west side of the river, and we were taking a shortcut through a very affluent neighborhood. The police pulled us over and said we matched the description of a couple of guys involved in a burglary. It was a bald-faced lie, they knew we were from the wrong side of town and wanted to harass us by threatening us with arrest and towing my car. I talked my way out of it, but the officers parting words were go back on your side of town and don’t come back. So much for white privilege.

Can’t remember catching a break because I was a white boy, I had to work all through high school to afford an old beater car. Working as a burger flipper in those days would get you about .65 an hour. Great money, it bought gas and a Saturday night at the drive-in movies. I bought used tires for my car, and found cleaver ways to steal beer. Yeah, so much for that white privilege thing.

I can tell you; we had real fear of law enforcement. They watched us close, if we messed up bad enough we were arrested, or at least received a traffic ticket and had to appear in court. Nobody cut us a break because we were white kids. What a joke. It was serious shit to steal; threshold amount for felony theft (grand larceny) was $20.00. Anything below that was classified as petty theft. We pretty much walked the line. My mother was tough as a boot, she told me if I found myself in Jail, I could figure out how to get out, because she didn’t have any criminals in her family, and wasn’t going to have any criminals in her family. I got the message.

WHITE PRIVILEGE IN SCHOOL??

You have to be joking!

WHITE PRIVILEGE IN THE WORKPLACE?

I officially entered the workforce for real in 1959. I would say that white privilege in the workplace was a real thing. However, when I think about it, it was a little more complicated than just privilege. Public schools had just been de-segregated, and blacks were not yet being integrated into the workforce. There were blacks working in the shop where I worked in janitorial positions. I worked in a Boilermakers Union shop, and the Tulsa local Boilermaker’s Union was 100% white in those days, as were most unions. All white folks in labor unions shouldn’t be a surprise; they were Democrat controlled.

A few years later when I moved to California, I switched to the Ironworkers Union, don’t remember any black union Ironworkers during those years. So, due to my chosen line of work, I can’t say I witnessed any white privilege. I do remember working with a black Ironworker in the seventies, we were both foremen. He worked in the shop next to mine, and we became good friends. Solid guy, hard worker. If you were a member of the Union and knew your craft, you were treated just like everyone else, regardless. Not a fan of Unions, but that is a definite advantage.

I have to insert a funny story at this point. Later in the nineties, I owned a steel shop in Washington state. My passion outside of work was British sportscars. I owned a Triumph TR7. I wore a jacket at work with a Union Jack on the left breast. One day a black weldor applied for a job and I hired him. After I hired him, he expressed his surprise that someone with a Confederate flag on their jacket would give him a job. He had no idea what a British flag looked like.

As a business owner and shop manager of several other steel shops, I didn’t care what color applicants were, I gave them a test related to their skills, if they passed I hired ’em. If they turned out to be duds, I fired ’em. No drama.

BLACK PRIVILEGE, IT’S REAL BABY

One of the largest driving forces behind the destructive culture of black Americans are white Americans with “white guilt”. What is it?

An indicator of limited reasoning capabilities.

The basic concept is guilt felt by white people for the historic mistreatment of non-white people from white people.

“I’m white. He’s white. He’s bad. Therefore I’m bad. I’m so sorry, please forgive me.”

This is foolish for multiple reasons: ]

Other people did it. Feeling guilty for other people’s actions does not make sense.
Other people were bad. There is no race of people that is pure. It is not just people that were white who did bad. If white guilt is a thing, then so should black guilt, oriental guilt, and so on.
There were good white people. If white guilt is legitimate, then so should white pride. Why is one racist and the other acceptable?
White people also mistreated each-other. France, Germany, England, all were at war with each other. England and Ireland had conflicts. Heck, Irish people and other Irish people, not too long ago. Are they victims or oppressors?

White guilt is something no one should go through. Sayed Hajaj answering the question “what is white guilt”.

So, you get it, it’s moronic whites repenting for racial sins they did not commit. No matter what race you are, you are not responsible for every bad thing your particular race did in the past. You are an individual person, only responsible for your own wrong doings. By the way, whites didn’t invent slavery although some participated in it.

So, why would a reasonably intelligent person feel this way? Because they were brainwashed by the American educational system. These are the same people that decry colonialism and constantly apologize to Native Americans for the Europeans stealing their land, which, by the way their ancestors stole hundreds of years before.

So instead of emphasizing education, nuclear families, and religion, the geniuses in our “fix everything mindset government” created endless “equal opportunity laws”, and “affirmative action”. Which by the way almost completely destroyed education, nuclear families, and religion in black families. However, it did the one thing the Democrats knew it would, it created a permanent voting bloc, and put the blacks back on the Democrat plantation.

The Democrats under Biden were well aware of how well that plan worked, so they wrapped up the same old crap and put a brand-new label on it called DEI. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Luckily, most people saw it for what it was, same bullshit, different packaging. Knowing it was going to be a bit of a hard sell, they invented two new phrases to flank it, “disinformation” and “misinformation”, and twisted the arms of the social media giants to go along with it.

The bottom line here folks is that the government has created a special class of people that are moved to the head of the line when they least deserve it, given lenient sentences for all sorts of crimes, including murder. Coddled, and patted on their asses so they don’t make a fuss, even while they are looting a high-end department store. Everyone turns their heads while they are shop lifting drug stores out of business. I’m going to wrap this us by showing you a Matt Walsh video that brings it all together.

Stay alert people, don’t fall for the same old B.S. in glossy new packaging. Remember, politicians never change and can never, ever be trusted.

CHARLIE KIRK’S ASSASSINATION HAS REVEALED A VERY UGLY FACTION OF YOUNG BLOOD THIRSTY PEOPLE.

Throughout my life, I have seen and been in the presence of a few young men and women that would make you a little nervous being in the same room with them. Watching them and hearing what they said would make you wonder what they were capable of. History is filled with examples of lawless young men and women. Fortunately, they made up a very small percentage of the general population. Since Charlie Kirk’s murder, a lot of dialog has taken place, and a lot of self examination has taken place of what we call our civilized society. It is becoming apparent, our society ain’t quite as civilized as we thought.

What is really disturbing is how many prominent people have made some really nasty comments, condoning the shooting, and the list is getting longer daily. Although it is somewhat comforting to see them fired, dismissed and cancelled, that doesn’t mean they have repented and come to their senses. Quite the opposite. A growing number of left leaning folks think it’s just fine to murder someone you don’t agree with. Forget debate, bring out the firearm and start blasting away. As a matter of fact, a poll that was just published, says that 25% of young liberals believe murder is the answer, don’t waste time with arguments, kill the bastards. Doesn’t that sound a bit like Fascism for real?

Some may disagree with this statement, but maybe, just maybe, murdering hundred of thousands of babies in the womb has played a part in normalizing murder. I’m pretty sure it was a contributing factor, if even a minor one. How about all of the Hollywood flicks when one side is getting revenge on the other, by mass slaughter. Yeah, I know the argument, it was the good guys killing the bad guys. Well, think about it; these youngsters have been brainwashed to the point that the “good guy vs. bad guy” thing is pretty convoluted in their little pea brains. They aren’t well versed on right and wrong.

Their educators (the people that parents trusted) filled their brains with all sorts of crazy shit about 200 genders, men could become women, women could be men, it was just fine to have sex with adults, cutting off their genitals was a glorious idea, and anyone that opposed this wonderful new way of life was a fascist nazi. What the hell they even had their own flag proudly displayed in the classroom, approved by the school, put there by their queer teacher. Of course, all of this was being done while the parents were at work trying pay for a home and food. These despicable people were mentally kidnapping your child. Your children came home every day, they didn’t look any different (at first), but their brains and their souls were being poisoned by the alphabet people and their sycophants.

There are hundreds of lessons to be learned here, but the window for the learning stuff has long since closed. People should have been paying more attention to what the leftist teachers were actually doing in the classrooms. The parents should have been approving the curriculum, not the board of education and the teacher’s unions. Teachers should have been vetted better, their backgrounds should have been investigated. I’m sorry, in my humble opinion, gays, lesbians and any other sexual deviants should not be in charge of underage people. Anyone that approves of drag queens performing in public schools should be fined, and forever banned from the educational system. We are attempting to create solid American citizens with good educations, not creating circus freaks.

HOW CAN YOU NOT ASSOCIATE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WITH A SATANIC CULT?

That may sound a little harsh, or incendiary, but below is a list of what Democrats stand for and promote. I’m not making this stuff up.

Killing normal healthy babies in the womb
Condoning violence in opposition to the other party, burning down cities and towns.
Condoning street thugs like BLM and Antifa.
Promoting burning of Tesla cars to protest an opposing party.
Protecting illegal alien criminals by disrupting a federal law enforcement agency.
Failing to reign in the gang terror in American cities.
Allowing dangerous criminals to roam the streets through lenient legal systems.
Flooding our cities and states with unvetted illegal aliens overburdening our local governments.
Putting Covid infected homeless people in nursing homes killing old folks.
Forcing citizens to take untested experimental drugs, by threatening their livelyhood.
Allowing the homeless problem to go on and on, while stealing the money.
Allowing our beautiful cities to become third world shit holes.
Actually facilitating Islam to gain a foothold in our Predominately Christian nation while knowing from experience it will never work.
Allowing the public schools to make freaks out of our children.
Allowing ultra anti-American professors to teach in our colleges and universities.

I think the only way the Democrats hold on to power is by graft, and corruption of the voting system. Why would anyone in their right mind vote for these people. It’s obvious they hate the USA and what it stands for, otherwise why are they constantly trying to destroy it?

I could write on this subject until I fell over from exhaustion. People, we have to resist this evil nonsense. I can’t tell you how to do that, you will have to come up with your own tailormade plan. God Bless all of you and America. Maybe a good start would be to protest professional sports and tell them we only have one anthem. That would be a start.

THIS COUNTRY IS AWASH IN STUPIDITY, HATE, AND APATHY. A RECIPE FOR DOOM.

There is an enormous amount of people in this country that simply stumble through their days, in their quest for survival, thinking they don’t have to think about anything but themselves. In their minds this nation is just going to run down the tracks on auto pilot, with someone else watching the store, and it will all be OK as long as the TV and computer keep working. I mean, c’mon man, what could go wrong. Well, a lot of shit is going wrong, and it’s been going wrong for a while now, while you were spending half your life on Face Book, and following Game of Thrones. What you need to realize is that no matter what side of the aisle you’re on, or what religion you are, there is a growing number of people that hate your ass because you feel that way. OK, you don’t do that political shit, you’re just an avid football or baseball fan. Well make sure you don’t wander into the opposing teams seating section with your $150.00 hoody and your $50.00 hat ’cause they’ll beat yo’ ass. Understand, there’s a lot of hate goin’ round and you just might get some of it if you ain’t careful. You say OK, I’ll just wear jeans and a plain white Tee. That ain’t gonna work bro, if your skin be the wrong color and you’re in the wrong part of town. Or just on the edge of the wrong part of town. Everyone has heard the phrase “united we stand, divided we fall” well ain’t nuff people carin’ bout that united crap no more. Please note: I’m writing this so Jasmine Crockett can understand it.

You know why bloggers like me can write forever? Because the Democrat party just keeps doing dumbass crap, along with their millions of minions. One of their most successful programs to date, and there have been a bazillion of ’em, is how they have divided this nation into tribes. They have used a lot of tools to accomplish this, but one of the sharpest tools in their tool box, is the world of academics. K – 12 and colleges and universities. If they can keep your kids in the classrooms for sixteen years, chances are they will own them, lock, stock and barrel. Its a well-known fact that at a certain age, most kids want to break away from mom and dad, and find their own way. This is when the educational system takes over and most of these kids come back home as strangers. Assuming of course the parents are conservative patriotic Americans, and not radical leftists.

Personally, I would opt to send my kids to a Christain university, or a trade school. I would do everything possible to not expose them to the radical socialist professors and teachers. I would also do so to keep from inadvertently funding the Teachers Union. In my opinion one of the most anti-American groups anywhere.

I’m not sure what the percentages are, but it’s a widely known fact that colleges and universities are accepting HS grads from the bottom 25% of their class and then getting pressure from the administrators to retain them as long as possible, especially if they are talented athletes. You understand what is happening? It’s not about education, it’s about money folks. A college degree used to be a big deal, but with affirmative action, DEI, and just plain old greed it’s basically just a receipt for the lifelong loan you agreed to.

So, back to that apathy thingy. While all of this fuckery is going on you bought yourself a new I Phone that you are going to pay for over the next two years, so you can pair it to the Apple Car Play in your new Kia. You bought a new 65″ big screen TV with your tax return, and now you can watch all the pro games, Netflix, and 90 day Fiancé. As far as you’re concerned, life is good, and ain’t gettin’ no betta. Hell you even bought a cool gaming chair to go wid da new TV.

All these folks gettin’ robbed, raped, and murdered, illegal immigrants flooding into your beloved nation, hey as long as it ain’t happening in my neighborhood, we’re golden.

Thats what I’m talking about folks, probably a solid 40% of Americans don’t give a damn what goes on four city blocks from their place of residence. Have you ever watched any of the street interviews? Ninety percent of the people they interview can’t even name the vice president, but they sure as hell know who Cardi B is and they know the words to all of her songs.

Considering the overall level of ignorance and hate, its no surprise that violence and murder are occurring at a phenomenal rate. No country can survive with a growing number of single parent homes, hordes of idiots and birth rates so low the population is shrinking. Unless we turn this trend around soon, the decay will become irreversible. Our once beautiful cities look like third world cities, including the inhabitants.

My intent was not to depress you, my intention was to awaken you. I’m old, I do what I can to bring this to everyone’s attention. I want to see young Americans inherit a strong, God fearing, free nation, that our forefathers created for us. God Bless you all. Pay attention, your lives depend on it.

I received a great response from my readers on yesterday’s article on crime. Then late this afternoon while thinking about this I remembered a show Matt Walsh did about a year ago, during the presidential campaign. I looked it up, and wow, it fits what is going on today maybe even more than a year ago. I had to share it with all of you, because I love the truth being told on any subject regardless. I absolutely hate liars. So here you go…enjoy!!

THE ROT NEEDS TO BE EXCISED

The rot I am referring to is the prosecutors, judges, and attorney generals that condone criminal activity. As you may have noticed, I didn’t say “liberal” or “leftists” because I’m really not sure what kind of moniker to hang on these monsters. How the hell do you get your mind in such a state that you think it’s OK to release dangerous individuals back on the street with 10 or 20 arrests for violent crimes? In my mind, I see these so-called law enforcement officers as menaces to society, as much as the criminals they are protecting.

Human beings are endowed with three basic instincts, one of which is self-preservation. Allowing violent criminals to roam free among the general population, flies in the face of self-preservation. If you are one of these geniuses that subscribes to such an idiotic idea, how do you know you won’t fall victim to one of the animals you released on the public? That is the essence of stupid.

From the beginning of history, societies reasoned correctly that criminals needed to be locked away from the general populations. Granted, locking people away in prisons has been abused greatly by tyrants and unscrupulous government officials. The United States has a pretty good justice system, not perfect, but pretty reliable. You saw it put to the test several times in the past few years when unscrupulous officials tried to stop Donald Trump from being elected. That said, it’s probably the best the world has to offer. Back to the point, locking criminals up for an appropriate time for the crime, is a definite deterrent, it’s been proven again and again. In my opinion, I’m sure you agree, violent criminals need to be put away for one hell of a long time. If you take someone’s life, you need to pay for it with yours.

BLACKS ARE OUT OF CONTROL

This isn’t some boneheaded racist statement made by an old white guy. The FBI produces statistical reports on crime every year. Read one and see what is really going on. I have to warn you that the reports have been, let’s say, softened over the past few years so that they don’t look so scary. I know, I have been reading these and reporting on them since 2015 and the old reports were much more graphic and descriptive. I think I found some stats that are a more honest representation of reality. Click on link below for the real story.

https://www.quora.com/Which-is-higher-black-on-white-crime-or-white-on-white-crime

As I said above, I have been perusing these stats for several years, and I can tell you the FBI, and DOJ, and Google, and most other major internet platforms such as Yahoo, and MSN have deliberately become deceptive, bending and twisting facts to downplay the amount of crime committed by blacks. If you’re used to reading the FBI stats from 10 years ago, and you review them now, it’s very apparent what is going on. GASLIGHTING.

When you pair the propensity of violence by blacks, and the kid glove treatment for black criminals certain segments of this nation become very dangerous. Young black criminals have no regard for people of advanced age, or the handicapped or the very young. If you happen to get in their way, good luck. This is precisely why anyone that isn’t black should not be found anywhere near a Carnival Cruise, or a Disney Cruise. Even traveling by air is becoming a challenge.

I happen to be a person of advanced age, and in pretty good health. I’m in no hurry to leave this planet. That said, I’m certainly not able to defend myself by physical means, so I choose where I go carefully, and if it’s questionable I pack some heat. I don’t plan on going out this life beaten to death. So, If you think you’re going to pull me from my vehicle, I hope you’ve made peace with Jesus, because I’m going do everything in my power to help you meet him very shortly.

Back in the nineties, the Democrats and Republicans agreed that crime had to be reined in and all across this nation the so called “three strikes and you’re out” laws were enacted. If you were convicted of three felonies, they put you away for a long, long time. But alas, over the next twenty years the liberals kept chipping away at the law until it’s all but nullified. You are seeing the results of how the left views crime and leniency toward career criminals. When you compare crime stats of twenty years ago, we are decidedly going backwards when it comes to law and order.

ISLAMAPHOBIC? YEP, THAT’S ME.

Got no problems with Buddhism, Hindus, Judaism. Got a really big problem with Islam. Islam and the “West” are simply incompatible. Islam will never accept western culture and Christianity. They will strive to overtake the west by force, if necessary, as long as two Muslims are remaining alive on this earth. Islam is currently making a very obvious push to overtake large parts of Minnesota and Texas. Yep, you heard me right, Texas of all places. I am going to be writing more about this in my next blog, so stay tuned folks. I have a great article planned for you.

VOLUME 114

WOW, WHAT A GREAT SUMMER

As most of you know, I reside in the great Pacific Northwest which is being systematically ruined by the left. They have been at it a long time now, and it’s not likely to get better anytime soon. Politics aside, the weather has been spectacular, and we have taken advantage of it enjoying the outdoors in our camping trailer. One of the activities we do every year is what we call the “whiskey and cigar summit”. We plan a weekend, plus several days, and pick a spot on the coast for the event. We invite friends and family members that are not constrained by religious beliefs and celebrate by smoking a few good cigars and drinking some good old Tennessee whiskey. Nobody gets drunk, we act like civilized human beings. Friends, family, good cigars, whiskey, burgers and a roaring campfire. What could be better? Well, in reality, the jokes could be a little better. (me far right, where I belong)

THE GROWING TRANSGENDER PROBLEM

What does a five-year-old boy that thinks he’s a girl, and a vegetarian dog have in common? A wacky adult parent most likely a female that is seeking some sort of twisted recognition. There is a possibility that if the home environment had been normal, the kid would have been normal. These kids don’t stand a fighting chance being coerced by a wacko mother, a wacko public school staff, and a bunch of wacko doctors, working in wacko hospitals more than willing to mutilate them for money, lots of money. Sorry, I forgot to mention the greedy pharmaceutical companies pushing puberty blockers and hormone therapy.

After the mental torment these youngsters have experienced, and the drugs pumped into their bodies, do you really think they are going to be remotely normal in their actions. My guess is that these kids experience raging anger on a regular basis. If they don’t turn it inward and kill themselves, they are likely to turn it outward and seek revenge for their situation in life and hurt innocent people that have no blame for their dilemma.

Anyway, you cut it, the people in the transgender’s circle are creating a time bomb. The enablers are equally responsible for this person’s actions if they turn violent. It’s time for the lawmakers to put an end to the destruction of young people by adults furthering their own twisted goals either for ideology or enrichment. The sickness is present in the parents before the child victim is born.

WHAT ARE THE DEMOCRATS THINKING?

They are literally taking the position of being against anything that makes sense. Why the hell would you take the side of criminals over every day American citizens? What person in their right minds would take the side of gang members, rapists, and killers? That is absolute insanity at its finest. A few years ago, when these geniuses started clamoring to defund the police, I thought they couldn’t get more stupid, but they sure as hell have.

Throwing open the southern border and letting anyone and everyone walk right into our sovereign nation unabetted was the ultimate UNAMERICAN act. I have not seen anything to match it in my 84 years on this planet. Take a moment, ponder what the Democrats did, and the total disregard for the welfare and safety of American citizens. All citizens, Democrats and Republicans. The Democrats were going to suffer the consequences of this moronic decision as well as the Republicans. Do you think the bad guys are going to ask which political party you belong to before they rob you and murder you? Do you think you will escape the destruction of the social structure because you’re a Democrat? The bottom line here, is the Democrat leadership threw their own party members under the bus to gain seats in the congress. It’s a given they don’t give a shit about Republicans, but now you know they don’t give a shit about their own constituents. The only thing they care about is absolute power. You can bet what they do with that power won’t be a good thing.

Everywhere the Democrats dominate local governments, there is chaos, crime, and poverty. They somehow think protecting illegal immigrants is a good idea. If those people cannot be counted in the census, they will become a huge liability, and the Dems will have to rethink this sanctuary bullshit. Immigrants drain the resources for schools, hospitals and welfare programs designed to support legal citizens. The blue cities and states will start to feel the financial pain. When that happens, they raise taxes, and the exodus begins, and the tax base shrinks. It’s a “no win” scenario.

Did you ever wonder why the homeless problem won’t go away? It’s a cash cow for blue cities. It has become another tax. The cities and states raise taxes to combat homelessness. The only money they spend is to move them around, clean up their trash dumps, buy a few new tents and sleeping bags. Who the hell knows where the bulk of the money goes. You will never know. Los Angeles audit has no idea what happened to the money. This is repeated in every major blue city.

In my opinion, the Democrat party in general is a den of thieves. The perfect example is USAID, and the NGO tentacles that siphoned off taxpayer money by the hundreds of billions to nonsensical programs where crooked politicians reaped the benefits through kickbacks and other underhanded operations.

TWO PARTY SYSTEM NECESSARY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE REPUBLIC

In order for the Republic to carry on indefinitely, both parties must be dedicated to its preservation and put the needs of the Republic and its citizens before their own parties. The Democrats have openly defied that duty by allowing unvetted illegal immigrants to flood the nation creating a national security breach. The parties that made that decision need to be indicted, tried and convicted of treason. We have witnessed a colossal act of treason never seen before in the history of this nation. How can any true American that loves this nation ever support the Democrat party again. The party must be overhauled by patriots for this nation to survive.

POLITICALLY INCORRECT CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE ON CURRENT NEWS EVENTS.

CINCINNATTI BEAT DOWN

When I first saw the news reports on this I was infuriated by the actions of the black goons mimicking the actions of a gang of chimpanzees. If you know anything about chimps this is exactly how they deal with their enemies. Maybe the transition (evolution if you will) is not yet complete. Just an observation, don’t want anyone to get their panties in a wad.

I don’t know if you have heard this being said regarding black behavior, but they are calling it black fatigue. People are getting really tired of blacks and their stupid shit. If you have watched the Hodge Twins on YouTube, they speak about it often. Blacks are getting out of control. I wouldn’t book a cruise on Carnival or Disney if I were you. If there are more than three or four on an airliner, get ready for an incident. Personally, I don’t want to go to any event where a large contingency of blacks could show up. If you do be sure to wear a bullet proof vest.

If you’re keeping score like I am, all of this shit started during Obama’s two terms as president. He created more race hatred than Governor Wallace of Alabama. Him and his dumbass wife are still at it.

OK, back to the subject of Cincinnatti. I knew there was more to the story that what was being reported. In cases like this, just wait awhile, the real truth will emerge. Check out the video below.

As a 100% white boy, of European ancestry, raised in south central USA, I tried really hard not to engage in racist behavior, and look for the good in everyone. I’m sorry, but I can’t do that anymore. With the increasingly bad behavior of blacks, and the horrible behavior of the illegal immigrants that have flooded into this country under Biden, I find myself becoming more and more critical of brown and black people.

Yeah, yeah, I know, they aren’t all bad. I never said they were, but there are an overwhelming number of them that are total assholes. I know few white assholes too, but I’m sorry, the ratio ain’t the same. Don’t believe me, look at the FBI crime stats. I’m also pretty sure if you’re white you have noticed the growing animosity toward white folks, mostly driven by leftist rhetoric. Folks it’s not safe to be white anymore as you witnessed in the video above. You need to take this seriously if you’re white, the blacks and Hispanics see you as an easy target especially if you’re an older person. They literally hate you for being white, they see you as the reason they are losers.

If you think this is a racist article, you would be right. It’s being forced on me. I fear for the safety of myself and my family. If you don’t believe me, wake the hell up and look around. Stop drinking the Kool Aid being fed to you by MSM. White Americans have been under assault since Obama showed up on the scene. And that jerk is half white.

Stay alert and stay alive. I have been putting off getting my concealed carry permit, I really need to get that done soon. You should as well if you aren’t already carrying. God bless all of you, start paying attention, it could save your life.

POLITICALLY INCORRECT, CENTER-RIGHT VIEWPOINTS FROM AN UNAPOLOGETIC PATRIOT

Apparently, I am not the only one that thinks it’s time to re-think the automotive offerings to the public. Check out the Slate Truck below.

When things like this happen, it’s a sign that changes may be on the horizon for car buyers. It could also be a giant failure. But with Amazon being involved it has probably been thought out pretty well.
