THE VIEW FROM ST. CHARLES

VOLUME 67

OCTOBER 20, 2025

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 faviconWikipedia

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.

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.

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.

WHO THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE, AND HOW DO WE RID OURSELVES OF THEIR PRESENCE?

Freedom can sometimes be a hard pill to swallow. When people have the freedom of expression, the ideas they express can be very disturbing, and cause undesirable reactions. We hear people preaching tolerance, but tolerance is difficult when it is tearing at the fabric of the nation you love, and to which you readily pledge allegiance, and have a very strong conviction of defending its flag. 

My family has been on American soil since the 1700's, immigrants from the mother country of Great Britain. When I have the opportunity to raise our flag, privately or ceremonially, it stirs deep emotions. Watching a military flag raising, with a bugler playing the Star-Spangled Banner is almost overwhelming. So, watching someone desecrate our beautiful flag while holding the flag of another country is the ultimate test of restraint. My gut instinct is to annihilate the perpetrator. I make no apologies for my feelings.

When Biden and his gang of thugs threw the gates open and said “come on in, we’ll give you lots of free stuff, I was stunned. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I’m thinking; “why would an American president do such a blatantly unlawful thing”? He and his minions arbitrarily threw all of our immigration laws in the trash. And, in my opinion it was out and out treason. I wrote in one of my blogs in the early days of the mass invasion ( yes, it was an invasion) that foreign nationals were waving the flags of their homeland while marching across our border. I made the comment at that time; this is not going to end well. These people are on a conquest, they have no intentions of becoming Americans, they want to live in the land of “milk and honey”, taking advantage of our generosity. When that scenario is in play, the invaders have no respect for the host country or its citizens.

Conservatives caught on pretty quickly, that it was all about bringing about a rapid change through demographics. The Democrats vigorously denied it early on, then openly admitted it months later. The first thing that comes to mind is how can that happen, non-citizens can’t vote. The Democrats had already thought of that years before, when they started connecting drivers’ licenses and voter registrations. Then they started expanding the mail in ballot process, “game over”, the citizenship of the voter just got lost in the chain of events. I do commend the Democrats for one thing; They will hatch up a plan, knowing it may take years to come to fruition, but they see it through to the end. The beauty of that is that it took so long for it to happen, nobody noticed it until it was too late.

Now that Trump and Ice are deporting their new voters by the thousands, it leaves them no choice except to start burning down cities, looting, and destroying property. Trump and his followers are well aware that the rapid influx of unvetted migrants was loaded with bottom feeding scum. We have to rid our country of these “low lifes” for the good of the American citizens. This is evidence of a troubling state of mind among Democrats. They are willing to sacrifice your safety, and the safety of your families in the quest for power.

Actually, they are willing to throw away the Constitution and Bill of Rights in the quest for all out power. I think it’s rich that their new motto is “no kings” when Biden and his ilk were as close as you were ever going to get to out and out monarchy. The Trump administration is attempting to rid our country of the filth that Biden allowed to walk in. Biden was attacking everyday Americans that dared question his un-American actions. Biden and his thugs were trying to force every debased and immoral idea in the books down our throats for four long years. They were literally stealing our tax dollars to fund immorality at home and around the world.  

The Democrats bend the laws until they break and then lie like dogs to cover it up. Check the list below and think about the last four years under Biden. 

  • We all saw Biden stumble and mumble his way through public appearances from the beginning of this term in office. Everyone could see it. It was dementia on display. 
  • Even though we all knew Biden was 100% incompetent, the media and his staff vigorously denied it and called the video evidence “deep fakes”. 
  • Illegal immigrants were coming across our border like the migration of “Wild Beasts”. Time after time Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas told us the border had never been more secure. They went so far as to tell us the border was closed, while we are watching people pouring across our border like “black Friday” at Walmart.
  • There were good reporters on the border, recording the government loading migrants onto busses and taking them to hotels the government had taken over from private owners. From those hotels they were dispersing them across the US by bus and government operated unmarked airliners. The government was doing this in a clandestine fashion, hiding the illegal activities from the public. 
  • Once they transported the illegal immigrants to the final destinations, the federal government furnished them with free housing, EBT cards, free medical care and more. Even giving them social security payments of up to $2,400.00 per month. 
  • With the assistance of USAID, the amount of money the Biden administration distributed unlawfully may never be known. (your tax dollars by the way). 

Considering all of the above, and the countless lies told to cover it up, the scumbag Democrats want to claim that Donald Trump is acting like a king? Donald Trump is executing the wishes of the voters to clean up after the Democrat shit show.    

It will take at least two more terms of a MAGA based president and administration to purge the filth and corruption to an acceptable level. I’m not naive enough to think you can ever truly eliminate it, but I believe it’s possible to keep it under control. 

There are so many more things to talk about, but for now I need to wrap this one up and take care of other chores. The next item on the agenda is where did all of these crazy people come from. You have to be a complete moron to stand in front of vehicles attempting to block the roadway and end up getting ran over. People have had enough of this stupidity and more and more of these half-wits are going to get hurt or killed. Every day citizens will only tolerate so much before they “break”. 

God Bless each and every one of you, stay safe and pray for President Trump, he is facing some very dangerous times. Pray for the US of A and for our precious freedom.

NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON WILL EVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

Elon and his band of “gumshoes” discovered what we all knew was going on, but had no way to prove it. The politician rats have been stealing our tax dollars for years through NGO’s. Pretty clever, USAID passes money to an NGO, and that NGO passes on to another and the paper trail gets harder and harder to trace. Eventually the money ends up back in the bank account of the corrupt politicians. Not just a couple of thousand, several million dollars. 

So, think about this for longer than 26 1/2 seconds and it will start to come into focus. Base salary for a representative is $174,000.00 per year, the speaker receives $223,000.00 per year.  Base salary for a senator is also $174,000.00 per year. So, why would you spend between two and three million dollars to campaign for a job that only pays $174,000.00 annually? Several congressmen have estimated net worths of over 100 million dollars. In 2024 estimated combined net worth of all members of the 115th Congress amounted to about 2.43 Billion dollars. Check out the article below

https://www.snoqap.com/posts/2024/6/18/the-wealth-of-us-members-of-congress-a-comprehensive-review

I don’t think there is any doubt in anyone’s mind that a fair amount of corruption is afoot in our Congressional chambers. As a matter of fact, throughout our entire government. Sadly, I would bet the farm that none of the perpetrators of this massive theft of the people’s money will ever be held accountable. The feds demand you pay your taxes in full on time or suffer the consequences. Then the bastards waste it by the bucket loads with no remorse or thoughts about pumping the brakes now and then. It’s just spend, spend, spend, and then ask for more when they start running low. 

How does this make you feel that you’re pretty much running your little legs off in the hamster wheel to keep this government operation afloat, and then they have the audacity to steal your hard-earned dollars and enrich themselves and their families. This is how revolutions are born. 

STOP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS, AND REPUBLICANS THAT ACT LIKE DEMOCRATS.

DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF ANARCHY 

There simply isn’t any other way to describe these lunatics. They don’t care about how to actually make life better for the general population, they only want to sow havoc so they can promote their screwed-up vision of how they see life. 

An issue that continues to escape my reasoning is how the legislative body has deteriorated to an “us vs. them” scenario, where almost zero cooperation exists. Any idea the Republicans put forth that would make sense and make life better for the citizens is automatically rejected by the left.

A perfect example is DOGE. Anyone with the I.Q. of a single cell ameba can figure out that if we cut government waste, we all benefit in numerous ways. Everyone, even Democrats are always worried about the continued existence of Social Security and Medicare, so why wouldn’t we start cutting back unnecessary spending so we can save those important programs? Instead, the Democrats react by attacking Elon Musk, vandalizing Tesla dealerships and Tesla cars. This my friends is insanity; you can’t paint it any other way.

No one in their right mind, that had one single ounce of patriotism in their body, would be OK with allowing ten million undocumented, unvetted, people to walk into their nation not knowing if they were serial killers, rapists, terrorists, or just plain old “run of the mill” petty criminals. People with little or no education, no knowledge of the English language, and no way to support themselves when they got here. The only way these people could survive was on your dime as an American taxpayer. The Democrat party thought it was a great idea because it was going to change the demographics forever, making it impossible for the Republicans to win another national election. 

We have all witnessed the utterly destructive results of this decision. Donald Trump and the Republicans are now tasked with undoing this very treasonous act. Personally, I think this is a good time to revisit the excellent results provided by a well-oiled guillotine. I could provide them with a list of patrons. 

But, as one would expect, the Democrats are throwing a hissy fit over the incarceration and deportation of these awful individuals they allowed to walk right into your neighborhoods unannounced. In many cases the Democrats brought them into your neighborhoods via airliners and busses. 

Here is the mystery of all mysteries. I don’t remember a single demonstration or protest by the right. If you do, please let me know. Why didn’t the right burn down a few government buildings, or destroy some government vehicles? How come we didn’t flaunt some of the guns the left is always trying to pry out of our hands? We could have looted the hell out of a few rich areas.

Well, we took a chance that we could do it the right way by getting our people back into power and undoing the nonsense. A process the left doesn’t subscribe to. Their method is mayhem and destruction and breaking the law, while reciting “that no one is above the law”. Apparently, you are if you have D behind your name.       

FOR THE DEMOCRATS, MURDER IS ALWAYS AN OPTION.

They say John Wilkes Booth was a member of the “Know Nothing” party, but if you look at the things he subscribed to politically, he was pretty well aligned with the Democrats. He was pro slavery and hated abolitionists. We all know the big slaveholders were Southern Democrats. Abraham Lincoln and the Republican party were anti-slavery. It was the third and final attempt on his life.

The Garfield and McKinley assassins were apparently mentally deranged and not politically motivated. 

We are finding out much more about the assassination of JFK and it’s very apparent now that he was murdered by associates of the CIA. Although we are seeing this in recently released documents, it has been pretty much a known fact for many years thanks to some very diligent private investigators. Lee Harvey Oswald was not the assassin after all. Many ballistic experts disputed that fact almost from the beginning. 

I don’t have the time or space to cover all that transpired in Kennedy’s life, but he was strictly opposed to getting more involved in Cuba and the Southeast Asia conflicts. It is widely believed this cost him his life. Murdered by his own government. Many also say Lyndon Johnson was involved in that decision. I have been reading some of the latest information on JFK’s murder, I urge you to do the same. It is disturbing that there are forces within our government capable of killing our leaders that were elected by the people.

At the end of this blog, I am going to give you a link to a video that will make you rethink everything you ever heard about the JFK assassination. But before we get to that I want to talk about the attempt of Donald J. Trump’s life that we saw unfold on live TV. If you don’t believe the attempt on Trump’s life was a coordinated effort by the Democrats and the FBI, then you have to be one of the naivest people on the planet or just plain stupid.

So, after you see the obviously intentional failure of the Secret Service to secure the perimeter of the event, you see the results. A similar thing happened in 1963 in Dallas, Texas when JFK was assassinated. Take a look at the video below and you can see the similarities in the methods. 

Watch and make up your own mind whether you believe it or not. I would not have believed this could happen thirty years ago, today another matter entirely. Since the election of 2020, I have a totally open mind in the matters of government corruption.

DEMOCRATS BEING DEMOCRATS 

I have been watching the Democrat party antics over the past few weeks and it’s pretty obvious that it doesn’t really matter what the issue is, they are against it. They call themselves the resistance. I remember the first time I heard a Democrat say that it was HIllary after she lost to Trump. As usual all of the parrots on the left immediately picked up on it and “resist” was the word of the day.

The strategy is getting pretty long in the tooth now, so we all know what is really going on. They think they can bus people to various sites, pay them to carry signs and plaques, and get to chant pre-written verses in front of legacy media cameras and convince the general populace that everyone is rising up against Trump and the Republicans. Sorry, it isn’t working anymore. Everyone knows Sorros, and Act Blue are behind these shenanigans.

 

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

This is where it started. “Sleepy Joe” didn’t always believe this. The Democrats figured out if they flooded the nation with illegal immigrants that they could change the balance of power in Congress. Joe saw himself as being a major benefactor of that plan. He saw himself at the top of the chain of command. They surmised that an unbridled flow of immigrants would be impossible to undo. This is why the Democrats are crying foul on deportation. Trump is undoing their plans. They don’t give a rat’s ass about the poor immigrants real economic plights; they are seeking power using them as pawns in a game of power grabbing. The Democrats have been using blacks in the same manner for years, but the blacks aren’t growing in sufficient numbers to facilitate their plan.

NOW THE LIVING PROOF DEMOCRATS ARE LIARS

The left changes positions more than Stormy Daniels. You can’t count on them being consistent on anything except being inconsistent. 80% of the people in this country are very happy with Trump’s policies, especially illegal immigration. But the Democrat fools are willing to look like idiots taking the opposite side. I don’t know a single person that likes paying taxes. I don’t know a single person that is happy with the way the government wastes our tax dollars. Apparently, the Democrats are totally delighted to pay taxes and see the money wasted on foolish projects.

However, you have to give the Democrats credit for coming up with an amazing plan, vandalizing Tesla Cars. Talking about a stroke of genius. Vandalizing Tesla cars that are no longer owned by Elon Musk, but are highly likely to belong to another Democrat. How smart is that? 100% Darwinian.  

Gotta close up the office for the day. Figured I should write something before everyone starts thinking the old man died. I am in fact alive and well, celebrated my 84th last week by Pulling our travel trailer down to river in the Cascade Mountain foothills in central Oregon. Spent four days taking in nature.

THE VIEW FROM ST. CHARLES

VOLUME 63

DOING ONE MORE ARTICLE ON “THE VIEW”

Not that view, my view. I couldn’t do an article on “THE VIEW”, the TV version, I couldn’t tolerate Whoopi or Joy more than like 30 seconds. Whoopi Goldberg is disgusting. Joy is just pathetically dumb.

I wanted to do another article in this format because it’s more relaxed and casual. Knee update; It’s been 12 weeks since my knee replacement and it’s doing very much better. I think I’m actually going to survive being hacked up and glued back together. I have learned a lot about this procedure and the healing process, and nothing is precise. Some people bounce back and are up and around very quickly. Others like myself take longer. (age is a critical factor) You just don’t know how you are going to do until you go through it. I’m feeling better about it every day. The little milestones are as exciting as the larger ones.

THE DAILY REPORTS FROM THE TRUMP WHITEHOUSE HAVE BECOME AN ENTERTAINMENT VENUE

Just a few weeks ago, we reluctantly turned on the news and braced ourselves for the latest debacle from the Biden Whitehouse. We had to endure hours and hours of bad news and propaganda. Man, this is like walking out of a cavern into the bright sunlight. Looking back on it now, I think shooting out windows and burning Subaru cars and piles of Birkenstocks may have made me feel better about things. Hijacking truckloads of rainbow-colored hair dye would have put me over the top.

I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears when Joy Reid was fired. That was almost orgasmic. I never would have guessed I would have lived long enough to see her and Don Lemon pushed out. The power of Donald Trump and Maga is just too good to be true. But I’m lookin’ right at it and lovin’ every dang minute of it. I’m not kidding, I think Biden gave me PTSD. I keep thinking I’m going to wake up and find out all of this ain’t true.

Guys, Trump and his gang are kicking ass. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow is going to bring. Tuesday, everyone was bemoaning how the Tesla stock was taking a beating. Wednesday, Trump announce 25% tariffs on foreign made automobiles, and Thursday Tesla stocks are through the roof. Las Vegas police and the FBI announced they caught the guy that shot up the Tesla dealer and set several cars on fire. They are arresting the Tesla vandals right and left because these idiots don’t realize they are being recorded by the Tesla Sentry cameras. Fat Albert on his ATV that was ramming Tesla cars has been arrested. These people are going to realize quickly, the price for doing these deeds is just not worth it, and it will all die down. One good thing will come from all of this; the Democrats will have to own one more chapter in the insanity that now defines their party.

If God gives me one more day on this planet, the first thing I am going to do in the morning (after consuming mini shredded wheat sprinkled with grape nuts) is to wake up my computer and turn on Fox News to see what Maga is doing on Friday.

CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR “THERE GOES DA JUDGE”. IMPEACH BOASBERG NOW!

Bozo Boasberg is playing with fire. If this genius was paying attention, he would have noticed that everyone that messes with Donald Trump ends up on the “short end of the stick”. Well all I can say is FAFO. He must have a really inflated idea of how important he is. He is going to find out he is taking on a very powerful machine and he gonna lose. Do you remember when Chuck Schumer said Donald Trump doesn’t realize the deep state has six ways from Sunday to get back at you? I think that power has been transferred to the executive branch now, and Bozo hasn’t figured that out yet. Trump pretty much owns the “deep state” now. Ain’t life great?

WHO WUDDA THUNK IT?

I have to wrap up my day now friends. But seriously, did you think you would ever see this glorious time we are living in? I thank God frequently for allowing me to live long enough to witness it. We are literally living through a historical “counter revolution. I hope and pray, that MAGA can stay strong and maintain this momentum for the next 12 years. Obviously, I won’t be around to experience it, but my fellow patriots will, and that’s all that matters. God Bless America.

REVIVING MY OLD OPINION PAGE

This blog title is reserved for allowing me to spout off, mostly how I feel about what is currently happening, not always associated with a current news event. This where I reveal my tendency to develop conspiracy theories. I have to brag a little right here, because a lot of my conspiracy theories have proven to be true over the past ten years.

MY CORRUPTION EVERYWHERE THEORY

I have been blogging for a lot of years now. I’m not sure what year I joined WordPress, but I have published over 500 articles. I have no way of knowing the exact number of articles devoted to this subject, but I have talked a lot about corruption in our government institutions, from cities all the way up to the federal level. All of my life, I can remember scandals occurring now and then, the perp or perps get caught and thrown in the slammer. It wasn’t something that happened every day, but they were dealt with rather harshly. But it seems like for the past 20 years give or take, it’s getting way more common.

When Donald Trump took office the first time, the Democrats didn’t even try to hide their nonsense anymore. It was right out in the open. I’m not going to expound on all of the crazy stuff they did, all of you know it all too well. But I was in total disbelief watching Hillary Clinton thumb her nose at the law and then have the FBI exonerate her. I still have trouble with that after eight long years. You don’t have to be a super detective to know what really happened on January 6th, 2020. I knew what happened when I watched it on the news. I told my wife, the Capitol Police are acting like tour guides. I got it immediately. It was a set up. It was so plain to see it may as well have had subtitles.

I KNEW JOE BIDEN WAS BRAIN DEAD WHEN I SAW HIM ON THE STAGE AT THE DEMOCRAT NATIONAL CONVENTION.

My father had dementia, and my brother-in-law had dementia. I had other people in my life that were slipping away, if you’ve experienced it you know it when you see it. It was perfectly clear in 2019 during the convention that Joe was on his way to the 24-hour care facility. The one with the locked fences and gates. But with an army of lawyers manipulating the voting laws, and non-stop media lies, coupled with a fake pandemic, they managed to get the old half dead guy into office. The bad thing about dementia is that it never gets better, only gets worse rather quickly.

I am no lover of politicians; anyone that knows me knows that well. However, there is one good thing about politicians, they never stop talking, and they always end up spilling their guts to the wrong person. That wrong person is always more than willing to share that information. My latest theory is that someone that was close to the inner workings of the Biden Whitehouse, will get pissed off, and lay it all bare to get revenge. Then we will learn about the rampant use of the “Autopen”. My guess is that the most prolific user of the “Autopen” was Jill Biden. I think Jill Biden felt justified to stand in for Joe, based on being his wife and caretaker. The Marine band played a song for her at events that was a substitute for “Hail to the Chief” when Joe wasn’t present. How do you think that happened? Check it out below.

I just had to put up the video by Sky News for your entertainment. Even though it makes the point that Jill Biden was a little more than just the First Lady, it also revisited Kamala’s horrific excuse for a campaign. Holy cow we really dodged the bullet on that one.

IT SEEMS THE LEFT IS EITHER REALLY CONFUSED OR HAS LOST IT’S MIND COMPLETELY.

When you think about wind power, solar power, electric cars, electric stoves, electric aircraft, electric carving knives, electric scooters, etc, etc. you automatically categorize these as leftist wet dreams. The left would really like to see all carbon powered machines melted down and reproposed into shoe racks for their Birkenstocks, or electric bicycle racks, or maybe goals for soccer fields.

The left has this passion for the environment which they claim covers all things harmful to human and animal life. No caveats, it covers anything you might imagine. Especially air quality. They have created massively stringent emission controls for ICE vehicles so your lungs will not be destroyed by carbon emissions. Yet, in light of this pious, self-righteous, better than thou facade, they think nothing of setting entire cities on fire, burning automobiles, tires, oil, gasoline, and all manners of items that emit extremely toxic smoke and gasses. In a nutshell everything they say is bullshit.

Now that they have a vendetta against Elon Musk, they have no problem setting Tesla cars on fire which emit some of the most poisonous gasses known to man from the burning battery platforms. Not to mention all of the other products that make up that car. These actions and others by the left are totally contradictory to what they claim to support and try to shove down our throats constantly. So, my advice to all of you, when some leftist moron starts talking about climate, and anything else related to the environment, simply say “shut the fuck up you lying piece of shit”. Now I know you may say, why would you say something so crude? Remember who you are speaking to, and their ability to comprehend. Most lefties only have a vocabulary of less than 100 words and most of those words contain less than six letters.

Steel Pencil News Review will return soon, I didn’t want you to forget The View from St. Charles. This is my pressure release valve. Thank you for taking the time to read my rants. My readers are very special to me, I appreciate each and every one of you.

STEEL PENCIL NEWS REVIEW

MARCH 8, 2025

VOLUME 101

POLITCALLY INCORRECT, CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE ON CURRENT NEWS EVENTS. 

THE APPEARANCE OF MY BLOG WAS NOT MY CHOICE. ONE DAY WORDPRESS JUST CHANGED THE FORMAT. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECOVER THE PREVIOUS SETTINGS. ???

Yep, two articles ago, all of my settings I been using forever, just disappeared. I have been trying to recover them but have been unsuccessful. Thanks for your encouragement for my successful recovery, it seems to be working. My ability to do normal stuff has really improved over the past week. Two days ago, I got up enough courage to attempt to climb up into my antique military truck, and I did it. Today I did it again, started up the old girl and let it get up to operating temperature. I was actually able to operate the clutch and brakes. That is a major milestone. 

I AM NOT ALONE IN MY FEELINGS

I think a lot about what I see and experience. Maybe that’s what drives me to write blogs. We just went through a horrific time period with Biden and the Democrats literally attacking America daily, tweaking and twisting all of our long-held traditions and destruction of our Nation’s basic moral character. We were forced to endure that, for four long years. It was like a virtual prison. It was in fact a bit scary to ponder the idea that the Democrats would somehow make into power for another four years. I didn’t and still don’t think our country could have survived that.

Looking back on Donald Trump’s first four years it was highly successful economically but was pretty chaotic as well with the constant attacks by the Democrats. Using his first four years as a benchmark and knowing he could only hold office for four years, I admit I thought it might be a better idea to run a candidate that could string two terms together. This is why nobody is trying to recruit me for a political analyst. I had it totally wrong.

GOTTA KEEP THE BULL IN THE PEN

The Democrats knew that if Trump ever got back into power, there would be hell to pay after how they treated him in his first term, and how they manipulated the election in 2020. This became clear when they unleashed the barrage of lawsuits against him to try to derail his 2024 campaign. This backfired on the Democrats in a major way. The more they tried to persecute him the more popular he became. Americans hate to see anyone treated unfairly. Then they literally tried to kill him in Butler, PA. The Democrats created an all-American Icon. The voters were also sick of the way the Democrat lawmakers ran roughshod over everyone. Election day 2024 time for redemption.

Donald Trump and his team had four long years to lay out the plans for his second term. You can bet that the plan you are seeing executed right now has been planned down to the last detail. The people he picked for his cabinet were very carefully chosen to make certain there would be no detractors or outright saboteurs. He hit the senate with his cabinet picks so quickly, they barely had time to react.

THE ENEVITABLE BLITZ

If my math is correct, President Trump and his entourage have been in charge for 48 days today. The president has signed (at last count) 83 Executive orders. Donald Trump’s team know exactly what they are doing. They are going to hit the Dems with everything including the kitchen sink. They have the Democrats totally off balance, wandering around acting like fools. The party that was a pack of attack dogs in Trump’s first term look like lemmings. During Biden’s presidency, the Democrats transformed themselves into a deranged cult of miscreants.   

The Democrats see the federal government as deity. It’s a form of worship. When you see the government as your god, you will do anything to protect it and to make it more and more powerful. The Republicans and Independents are Christians for the most part and have a totally different outlook on government. I find it amusing how the Democrats refer to the capitol building in D.C. as sacred. Historically invaluable yes, sacred no. I find the Democrat approach to abortion abhorrent. How can you be that invested in murdering children? They had Planned Parenthood trailers in front of their convention?? That’s sick.

So, as I see it, the Biden presidency was a true blessing. It was a form of mental cleansing the country had to endure so they were able to see the clear path forward which was Donald Trump. It was the awakening and the beginning of a counter revolution. The effectiveness of Trump’s second term was greatly enhanced by four years of Joe Biden and his band of thieves.

THE CHALLENGE

This is the time to work even harder when you’re on top or out front. We can’t let the Democrats out maneuver us in the midterms. We need to bolster our strength in Congress. We need to choose the President’s successor carefully so that we can hopefully dominate D.C. for at least 12 more years. I won’t be around that much longer, but I have a lot of progenies that will be. I naturally want them to live the American Dream.

I smell something lovin’ from the oven, so I’m gonna go investigate. God bless everyone and the USA.
