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.

STEEL PENCIL NEWS REVIEW

SEPTEMBER 11, 2025

VOLUME 117

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.
