CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE ON CURRENT NEWS EVENTS WITH A MEASURE OF FLAG WAVING.

Getting the enthusiasm to write this article has been very difficult. I have been utterly disgusted with just about everything related to the government and politics lately. So much so that I have actually been tuning it all out and turning to my artwork as an escape from it all. I should clarify that statement because I think overall, our President and his staff are doing a pretty darn good job, considering the constant harassment from the left.

I have a favorite TV channel that I watch on YouTube called Vice Grip Garage. The fellow that created the channel and stars in it is a country boy through and through. He has a saying when something unusual happens while building or repairing a car. He says; “Well, I can’t believe it, but I guess a gotta, cuz I’m looking right at it”

That pretty much sums up how I am feeling about the Democrat party right now, and the lunatics that are running for election. I can’t believe my eyes, but I’m looking right at it. My mind cannot accept someone running for office in the United States of America openly claiming to be a Communist. I can’t believe the Democrats embracing socialism. This is like watching some kind of “Twilight Zone” episode.

Kamala Harris is creeping out of the shadows, sounding “bat shit” crazy, saying things that nobody can decipher. She is either perpetually drunk, or an undiagnosed head case. The latter is likely what is going on, because if you have difficulty making a totally sober statement without laughing out loud like a hyena, you may have a few neurons shorting out somewhere.

Gavin Newsome, man, I don’t even know where to start with this cat. My best description is some sort of metrosexual flim flam man. Sits in his chair like a chick with his legs crossed, squirming like a chick, waving his hands around like some sort of modern dancer. His smile is so fake it creeps me out. He just looks greasy, slippery, and slimy. The most amazing fraud that is glaring like an LED headlight is that so called “Bullet Train”. Billions spent with barely any progress whatsoever. Will we ever know where all of that money went? You can bet Gavin will be livin’ the good life”. No proof, just sayin’. Movin’ from the French Laundry to the Money Laundry. The only difference between Gavin and Tampon Tim is Gavin is better looking.

Talarico, the guy looks like a televangelist, but he’s definitely on the wrong side of the good and evil line. If I was stupid enough to say God was non-binary, I would be afraid to sleep at night. The number of stupid statements this guy has made is mind boggling, yet he is supposedly neck and neck with Ken Paxton, a dead serious conservative and red blooded American.

Then we get to good ol’ Abdul El-Sayed. The very first (and should be the last) Muslim nominee for the U.S. Senate. This guy lies faster than you can keep track. One week he is all for a particular issue, next week he’s against that same issue. He is a master of “flip flop”, that’s how you can identify him as a Democrat. When you read his political agenda it has Muslim activist written all over it. His most revealing item on his Wishlist is ending military funding to Israel and shifting those funds to domestic needs. In the future if a Muslim is successful at gaining a seat in the US. Senate or House, it should be mandatory they be sworn in on the Holy Bible with a pigskin cover. No Quran should ever be allowed in any of our government buildings for any reason.

While I’m on the subject of an Islamist in US Government, something I can’t really get my head around now or ever, let’s talk about the scumbag New York mayor. This guy is so fake and such a liar he makes we want to vomit watching him speak. You can see the disdain for America bleeding through his facial expressions while he is lying to your face. This guy is the quintessential “wolf in sheep’s clothing”. New Yorkers are supposed to be tough guys, they portray themselves as impervious to fakes and scammers. Well, if you ask me, that facade just melted away like spring snow when Mamdani showed up. At least for the rest of us, we know where all the “suckers” reside. Keep this in your mind, don’t ever forget it. When Mamdani was campaigning and when he was sworn into office, Bernie and AOC were standing right beside him smiling like Cheshire Cats.

Moving to the west coast now, pretty much same scenario except Seattle’s mayor Katie Wilson is not an Islamist. She may be an Islamist sympathizer which wouldn’t surprise me. She is however remarkably dumb. Dumber than a stack of hammers actually. She is a dyed in the wool socialist, while being the offspring of some very wealthy people. But the wealthy folks are not exactly what you would call capitalists. The daughter of an evolutionary biologist, and the granddaughter of a novelist. Not quite in the same camp as Elon or Ken Fischer. With an education in Physics and philosophy and a college dropout, you wouldn’t expect her to have a firm grasp on how to manage the fiscal budget of the large city like Seattle especially since she never had a real job and lived with her parents most of her adult life.

I know a little bit about Seattle having lived in the greater Seattle area for fifteen years. I conducted a business there 10 of those fifteen years. The people of Seattle are really strange, and really far left. So, her being elected, as unqualified as she is, didn’t surprise me, she fits right in with their convoluted ideas of government. The video below was done before Katie Wilson made her debut, imagine what it’s like now.

Well as you can see this uprising was happening in 2019, and the people of Seattle and surrounding cities were rising up and saying “no more”. Well, that enthusiasm died a slow death. Probably interrupted by Covid and the economy. And yet when these people knew the truth, they did something really stupid and elected Katie Wilson, an activist, very successful activist that played a huge part in quelling that uprising.

IT WORRIES THE HELL OUT ME!!!

It worries the hell out me that these people are getting elected while espousing these radical ideas and tearing our country apart one city at a time. I find me talking to myself, asking how can this be happening in this wonderful Republic we call home. Well, my friends, you can find all of the reasons why it is happening in the files at the DNC. This is the fruits of the Democrat party, the party that will sell their souls to Satan for power. They don’t give a “rat’s ass” about this country or it’s patriots. They only care about power, absolute power.

God Bless all of you, and God Bless this nation and it’s President. You know how to vote to fend off this craziness. I don’t care if you’re on your sickbed, with one leg barely hanging on, cast your ballot for the party of “Common Sense”.

CURRENT NEWS EVENTS AS VIEWED BY A CENTER RIGHT CONSERVATIVE PATRIOT

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I am working on a very large project that is due next Tuesday, so I couldn’t stop and watch the little rat appear before congress today. He literally reminds me of a rodent every time I see his sorry ass. Of course I am talking about the Democrats favorite man of science, Antony Fauci. He makes the term “dirt bag” sound a bit more endearing. In my opinion, you can’t get much lower than Antony Fauci.

My little brother died of Covid, leaving this world way too soon. They took him to the Columbia University Hospital, shoved a breathing tube down his throat and he was dead in less than three days. I don’t know for sure if they were even giving him any therapeutic medication, I think they just simply put him on a respirator and called it good.

Of course, when I see the little rat, I’m looking at my brother’s murderer. He and his slimeball associates are wholly responsible for unleashing the deadly virus on the world. As I saw some clips of his testimony today, if you can call it that, he still has that sanctimonious smirk on his face, knowing he is responsible for millions of human beings dying around the world, and he will likely never spend a single day of punishment for what he did. What kind of evil is that, how can a man carry that knowledge and not be consumed by his own conscience. The man must be totally soulless. In my opinion you can’t get much closer to Satan himself.

But, there is another facet to this story I want all of you to remember as you are given the opportunity to choose future leaders. He wasn’t in this alone. This is a very big story about the largest election fraud scheme the world has probably ever seen. The Democrat party was in this up to their necks with Fauci. He was their vessel to make it all happen, and he was more than willing to participate. I have written about this extensively, the magnitude of this conspiracy may never be known. It went from the city and state levels all the way to the top government offices. Bottom line here folks; when you have a political party that is willing to kill millions of people to win an election, that is evil on an unprecedented level. If you don’t think that’s possible, you haven’t looked at it close enough.

THE IRAN SITUATION GETS MORE UNCERTAIN AS WEEKS TURN INTO MONTHS

Sir Winston Churchill is one of my favorite historical figures. He was truly a visionary and saw the world through the Lense of reality. He was unafraid when it came to calling a spade and spade. A few examples below;

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

Sir Winston Churchill – from his writings titled “The River War”.

Islam creates cultures that are inherently violent with no respect for human rights whatsoever, especially women. Because they don’t allow any form of dissent or detractors (automatic execution) it forms a monolithic mental state which becomes extremely difficult to overcome. To overcome such a society, virtually everyone needs to be eradicated. It’s how you rid your home of insects. If a few are left behind, they reproduce and quickly become a threat once again. This is the secret to their power and longevity. I don’t believe it is possible to capture a Muslim nation and occupy it like we did in Japan and Germany after WW2. The percentage of true Muslims that could possibly be converted to Western ideology has to be extremely small.

This is precisely why we continue to destroy Iranian cities and military bases and they stand in defiance. They will never surrender until the last IRGC member is laid to rest. I praise President Trump for showing unmitigated strength in his quest to rid the world of a very dangerous nuclear threat. Why would anyone allow a band of maniacal religious zealots to be in possession of a weapon of mass destruction. Yet, every American president for the last 40 odd years has chosen to ignore the threat. I think you can safely say none of them had the foresight of Winston Churchill.

The United States should have assisted the Iranian people during the first uprising, the Mullahs were nowhere near as powerful at that point in time and all of this could have been avoided. Why do we keep electing week kneed people that make foreign policy.

We can only hope and pray for victory in this quest to keep nuclear weapons from the hands of maniacs. God Bless America and our President.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON?

I’ve had some lapses in content production before, sickness, surgery, and so on. This time it’s totally self-inflicted. I have started a new project, and it has been very difficult to learn, it’s a whole different world than writing a blog. I have started a You Tube channel. I will tell you how to see it, but before I do that, allow me to explain what is one of the most difficult aspects. I sit here and write this blog and obviously there is no script, I am just saying what is on my mind. The major difference is; I can stop, think about what I want to say, weigh several different approaches and then resume writing. You can’t do that talking to a camera, and I have found out, I write much better than talk totally “off the cuff”. I’m getting better but have a ways to go. I guess I feel compelled to tell you this so you will have some level of compassion for my less than stellar performance.

My blogs for the most part have been based on current events in the news, and I wanted to do something different. I wanted my You Tube channel to be more about fun stuff, not grimacing about the overabundance of half-wits in our government that unfortunately have a large impact on our lives. Those things are still of great interest to me, and I will continue to write about them on this site, but I have to take break and get my channel up and running.

You can visit my channel on You Tube, it’s called, Never Satisfied @benjamatic5000. A preview of the content is my love for cars. Cars and motor vehicle in general have been my lifelong hobby. You can see pictures of beautiful cars and motorcycles, and hear some of my experiences throughout the years. I also do automotive related art, you can buy prints of my work you will see in the “post” section not the video section.

When you go on my channel, please subscribe, it’s totally free and you will be notified when I post a new video. I am working very hard to do better and more interesting presentations, so this blog site will play “second fiddle” for a while longer. Please visit me on You Tube and leave a comment on what you think, good or bad, I welcome all comments to help me do better. (you can identify me by my picture wearing my Willy Wonka hat)

I want to thank all of you for being loyal readers and supporting me. God Bless you all and as always stay vigilant in the quest for everlasting FREEDOM.

THE VIEW FROM ST. CHARLES

NOVEMBER 5, 2025

VOLUME 68

THE SELFISH BASTARDS FORGOT JUST LIKE THEY FORGOT EVERY OTHER STUPID ACT BY PEOPLE THAT HATE AMERICA. AMERICANS ARE ALWAYS CHASING THE NEXT SHINY OBJECT. YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE PAST, FORGET DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT IN THE FUTURE.

KITCHEN TABLE POLITICS

We talk about politics and world events a lot around our house. At our age not much else to talk about. We don’t water ski, snowboard, or scuba dive. Hell, we do good just to get up and down the damn stairs. We gave up on church when they refused to do bingo nights. So, we have three TV’s and four computers that we use to keep up on the latest news. If we knew how, we could even track Taylor Swift’s private jet travel. So, we have two people and one dog in our house, and we all bark a lot, and the effect seems to be about the same across the board. Nobody pays much attention to any of us.

The last two evenings at the dinner table, after eating way too much because all of our calluses are on our behinds not our hands, we delved into what we think DJT is doing wrong. So, at this point, it’s my obligation to report the minutes of those meetings.

But before I get into this unholy critique I have to say we love DJT, and overall we’re good with most everything except we ain’t gettin’ no richer. We ain’t seeing no significant drop in what we pay for gas, electricity and water. Gasoline is coming down very slowly in our neck of the woods, but we do live in a purple state. Groceries, another whole story. I did do a little happy dance when a one pound can of coffee dropped from over 16 dollars to just over 13 dollars. We make two pots a day so that’s good news.

OK, you’re probably saying “it’s only been 10 months since he took office”. Fine, but we’ve been getting raped for almost five years now, our asses are getting a little sore. Time for a break man.

Oh yeah, and that supply line thing that everyone yapped about during “slow Joe’s ” time in office, well it ain’t gettin’ a lot better. There is still stuff missing on the shelves in the markets. We’re total carnivores in our house, gettin’ tired of chicken, we need more red meat. Getting maybe a little better, but not a lot. Car parts in O’Reilly’s still a bit iffy if you have an older vehicle. Good luck in getting a starter for a 1980 Plymouth. Big box hardware stores same thing. It ain’t fixed yet folks, Americans are used to having what we want when we want it, and our patience is running a little thin. I’m not even going to get into ammunition for my assault rifle they are trying to ban.

We’re really excited to see drug cartel boats being blown up, we try to record those events so we can watch ’em again. We’re glad DJT is working hard for peace across the globe. All good stuff. But don’t forget all of us folks that supported you twice, we be gettin’ hurt in the wallet while the wall street boys are making bank biggly. That stuff ain’t translating to a damn thing in our shriveling bank account. We need more help out here on the left coast Donald.

To all of you Republican strategists, we’re a year away from the mid-terms, this shit best be fixed soon or you gonna lose biggly. Just sayin’. Oh, our house will still support you, but we’re hearing a lot of unhappy remarks and that ain’t good. Happy remarks, we wanna hear Happy. We wanna feel Happy. We don’t wanna lose the truck and camper.

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.

POLITICALLY INCORRECT, CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE ON CURRENT NEWS EVENTS

SORT OF A STRANGE THANKSGIVING, BUT A GOOD ONE NONETHELESS.

My wife and I have four offspring between us. I use the word “offspring” because all of them are old and couldn’t be remotely referred to as children. My oldest daughter turned 68 years old this year. Don’t bother trying to do the math. Anyhow, they are scattered from heck to yonder, and no way are they all going to show up for Thanksgiving. The only time all of them will show up at our house is for the reading of the will. Boy they will be surprised; I already spent their inheritance and then some. Don’t look at me expecting to see a sad face of regret, I had one hell of a lot of fun.

Anyhow, they all checked in by phone, messaging, and Face Book. I’m considering myself lucky ’cause all of ’em are apparently doing well, not one of ’em asked for money. I’m thankful for that, because I just saw a great deal on some 9 mm. ammo. Thinking I’m a little short of .45 cal. as well. The Democrats have been unusually quiet, I don’t trust those suckers. I’d feel better with a little more fire power.

How could Thanksgiving be any better with Trump back in the Whitehouse? Is that great or what? He saved us from the crazy Commie Harris and Tampon Tim. Now, stop and really think about that for a few minutes. Kamala and Tim are a couple of knucklehead clowns themselves, can you imagine what Kamala’s cabinet would be like? It would likely look like the latest Jaguar commercial. Could she even find enough freaks to fill the slots? I break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.

Did you think even for a nano second that “Crooked Joe” wouldn’t pardon his crackhead son? When you really think about it, Joe couldn’t afford to have Hunter on trial, because he was bound to get entangled in the details. He had no choice, he had to pardon Hunter for his own protection. I can’t believe we had a crime family in the Whitehouse.

I don’t think Joe Biden actually knows what the word “truth” means. One of the biggest collection of lies is in the following short video. Click on the link below.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/biden-ill-always-tell-you-the-truth/2020/03/12/4b1bc4f5-62a8-4a80-85c5-73d55d2d0bad_video.html

When you reflect on the past four years, you have been lied to like the wife of a drunken gambler. I challenge you to tell me one thing that came out of the Biden Whitehouse that was true. It was literally a full time “smoke and mirrors” show.

I have never been more proud of my fellow Americans who saw through the lies and deception and made the right decision at the ballot box. My faith in America has been restored and I am extremely thankful for that. God bless you all, you stayed vigilant, you acted courageously, and I am proud to be counted amongst you.
