Three Reasons the IRS Will Never Go Away

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Border wall, FOC, Immigration, Lawyers and Representation, Obama Care, Politcal Opinion, Psaki, The Squad by
  1. Power. The tax laws have ways of controlling the way we live. When they provided tax shelters for all kinds of interest, people went into debt, even with credit cards. Then we deducted the interest from our taxes. Now, of course, interest is not so deductible. Now it is limited to our homes and then that is limited. If the dems have their way, the rich will again be able to deduct the interest for their mansions and perhaps for their yachts. I mean a person can live on a yacht, even if it is a 2 or 3 million dollar land yacht.
  2. Power. While specific info on one person is not yet available to congress, general info is. The government can tell where we make our money, where we spend our money and even a little about our health, thanks to Obama Care. This info is power and the dems just love power.
  3. Power. (I know. It is getting a little repetitious.) Congress collects money and they spend it. The more they collect and spend, the more power they have. And congress, no matter which side of the isle, loves the power they get from spending money.

Now with all that, you would think I am in favor of doing away with the IRS. Not so. That is to say, unless they pass an amendment disallowing it. If we did away with the IRS and replace it with a sales tax, it would not be long that we would have both. Then the government would be hitting us from both directions: earning and spending.

Wait a minute. I guess they already do. The feds do collect 1% sales tax; they collect gas tax as well as a few other things. Besides, the state and local government gets the sales tax. And by the way, most states get us from both directions, sales and income. It sort of makes me wonder how we manage to hold onto any of our earning for ourselves.

And so it it is, we give them the money and they take our freedoms. Then they spend our money one things that don’t work, such as modern education like CRT. At the same time, they refuse to spend it where it does work, like on border walls and law enforcement.

I do find it odd that the FOBs just love things that don’t work, like windmills and solar cells. Then they refuse to let us develop energy sources like natural gas, oil and atomic energy. Do you suppose that they like the idea of making our nation a third world country.

Well, at least it would solve the border thing. If they are successful, all the illegal aliens will start leaving, and maybe a few of our citizens. Let us hope that includes all the FOCs

Watch Out, Words HAVE MEANINGS

Posted in Immigration, Lawyers and Representation, Politcal Opinion, Uncategorized, Vocabulary by

I watched an interview. I will leave the names out. They are not important. The important things are the words. The person being interview said we need to make sure only legal residents should be permitted to vote. Actually, that is incorrect. There are many legal residents that should not be allowed to vote.

First, not all legal residents are citizens and only registered citizens of age should be permitted to vote, and then only in their state and precinct. No one should be permitted to vote outside their precinct. It is sort of the way the founding fathers intended it. We do not need to have Mexicans or Canadians determining the outcome of our elections. Moreover, we do not need people in one county determining the outcome of another county’s election.

Just remember, a resident is not always a citizen. It seems sort of picky but it is so, so important.

Gun Safety

Posted in Back Space Keys, Gun Safety by

This is something of a repeat post but I feel it is warranted because of recent events. These three rules should be taught to anyone who might be handling any gun for any reason. It would not hurt to teach them to everyone else, regardless of any beliefs or intentions on guns.

  1. Until proven otherwise, assume that all guns are loaded.
  2. When you have determined that a gun is not loaded, assume it is loaded.
  3. Never, ever point a gun in the direction of someone or something you do not intend to shoot.

If everyone would follow these three rules, gun accidents would greatly be reduced. When people do not follow these rules, people die and those who cause their deaths will live with it the rest of their lives. I might add, gun accidents are very rarely reversible. They cannot be altered with an eraser or a backspace key, so be sure of your target before you point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger.

Some might accuse me of taking advantage of a tragic situation. Think what you want. If I can save one life, it is worth anything you might think of me.

In the recent event where a woman’s life was taken during the filming of a movie, they disobeyed rule one and three. If I were handed a gun that was supposedly loaded with blanks, I would have immediately checked it; certainly before pulling the trigger. Then, even then, I would not have pointed it at anyone. One side note, blanks can injure or even kill people.

I still do not know all of what went happened on that set. We may never know all the motives. I am not accusing anyone. This much, I do know. It was completely avoidable.

Just Keep Going

Posted in Biden by

We were watching TV. The person suggested that Biden should go to the border. My wife said aloud, “And then keep Going.”

That actually sounds like a good idea. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen. Unfortunately, it won’t fix the problems. The FOCs will still be in charge. Still, a person can dream. Nothing wrong with that. Not yet.

Given a few more years of the dems being in control and they just might arrest me for writing such a thing. A few more years and they will be able to arrest me for thinking such a thing.

Same, Same

Posted in Biden, Psaki by

The question was posed to Psaki about people being flown all over the country in the middle of the night. Psaki replied “I would not say it was the middle of the night. When confronted with the actual times, roughly 2 and 4 in the morning, Psaki smiled and said it was early morning.

I don’t know about you folks out there in the real world, but I’d say it is the same, same. As the song goes some people use the long a to pronounce potato, some the short a. It is still the same vegetable. I assure you it has the same taste and it provides the same nutrition.

Psaki was simply attempting to sidestep the actual question, which by the way, she never really answered.

By the by, one more thing. I thought these were the people that would only be here a short time. Me thinks that was a blatant lie. It was so blatant that she could not speak it with a straight face.

I can’t say I totally blame her. Look who she has a boss. Those arrow slung at her must be causing her some pain.

Bribes

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden by

Some of you might remember me visiting the subject of bribes. There are the legal but unethical bribes provided by lobbyists. Then there are the book deals. Some congressman supposedly writes a book and then wholesales it off. The purchaser, picks up the books and then they set in some warehouse. There is no intention of distributing them beyond that. Then, of course, the congressman does what he can to help the one who bought the books.

Maybe it is the other way around. First the favor is done, then the books are sold. Same difference.

Now, Biden put a twist to the book thing. His son sells paintings for half a million. Then, Biden sees to it that whoever bought the books gets treated very well. When the AG was asked about it, he was covered. He doesn’t comment on open investigations.

Let us look at this way. If the AG were honest and had a backbone, Biden’s son would not have tried to sell the paintings. He would have realized it would lead to some time in the big house for both him and his father. To be sure, if he did try to pull off the scam, the charges would already be made. No one would have to ask about the investigation. It would already be as obvious as the big nose on my face.

Bribes are something you get with dishonest people in government. It is why you should not put corrupt people in office. When you do put dishonest people in government, you should not be surprised that paintings that are not worth a dime are sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Then, naturally, after the paintings are purchased, after the money has changed hands, the paintings are tossed onto a trash heap.

As for the blind sale, it’s bogus. If I were to approach Biden and ask a certain thing and promise a certain painting will be purchased, Biden and his son would not care who purchased the painting or why.

The Bible talks of bribes and it does not speak well of them. They are not new, though some have gotten a little trickier about the way they go about it.

Looking For More Mens

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Customer complaints, Fast Food, FOC, Kamala, Liberals, Robots by

I know it is improper grammar but I have heard it said before and I think, in this case it is apropos.

I went into McDonald’s and tried to order at the counter. They said, due to lack of personnel (a proper way of saying mens) we would have to order at the kiosk. I told her that I have tried to use the things before without any success. She told me that I had to use the computer to order.

So I went over to the kiosk and tried to order three times without success. I mean I am reasonably persistent. However, logic told me that it would do me little good to continue. I told the woman we would need to go somewhere else. She became impatient with me and went over to kiosk and proceeded to show me how easy it was.

GUESS WHAT? Your right. It didn’t work for her either. She was persistent too. She tried twice on one kiosk and once on two more kiosks.

I can’t blame the woman. To be sure, every one is trying to find more mens. It is literally the FOCs’ fault. They have decided to pay people for doing nothing. So they sit at home and do nothing.

It was, to be sure, the convergence of two problems. The dems and the people who wrote the programing for the kiosk. Maybe I err. It is very possible that it might have been those who made the specifications for the kiosks. Either way, the programming is full of bugs and they just don’t work as advertised.

After working around computers all my life I’d guess it is simply trying to get too fancy. They have all these beautiful pictures up there to help make people hungry and they forget the purpose of the thing… to make it easy to order food.

So, if you are looking on McDonald’s Corp, this is the way I would like it. The screen is large enough to show the whole menu at one time. First, there should be a list off all the menu items. To the left would be a a plus and minus sign. To increase or decrease the count, the customer presses one or the other. Simple. I’m sure there would be dozens of ways to deal with special orders. If nothing else, if four cheeseburgers are being ordered, four lines could be temporarily displayed. pseudo-buttons could be displayed on each line for deleting onions and or mustered, etc.

I am not a professional programmer and I am sure, given a couple of months, I could write such a program in a month or so. It’s not that hard. Like they say in computer programming; keep it simple, stupid. (KISS) Every time you make something more complex, you increase the chances of it malfunctioning. Also, in this case, you make it harder to operate.

Worse yet, instead of saving employee time, it cost this employ about twenty minutes. Then, when it was all over, she had to resort to the old way anyway.

Fixing the kiosk might be McDonald’s idea of resolving the problem. As for me, I’d rather give my order to a human. By the way, a reminder. Some people don’t complain. They just walk out and go somewhere else. It is normally the easiest way of resolving the problem.

As for the more mens problem, let’s just vote the FOCs out of office. The manning levels will then take care of themselves.

I’m Not an Expert but…

Posted in Biden, FOC by

How many times have you heard the words?

Well, with your permission, I will use them one more time. I would suspect that the vast number of people out there in the US are not yet fully aware of all the ships sitting outside the port of L. A. and Long Beach, but it is now approaching 200.

For those unaware, the owners of those freighters don’t like to see them sitting still. While they sit in dock, they are not making their owners any money. Moreover, they continue to need crew and maintenance. Worse yet, while they sit anchored offshore, they need to generate power, perhaps by auxiliary power, I don’t know. They have to maintain at least a skeleton crew. They need food and water and they need to process waste. All this in spite of the fact the ship is just sitting there.

Then too, the ship is likely insured, the payload as well as the ship itself. Whoa to the ship owner who should miss an insurance payment with millions of dollars worth of cargo on board.

To be sure, anyone who owns a twenty foot fishing boat will tell you that it cost money to maintain the boat, even if it sits in the driveway. I can’t imagine what it costs to maintain a ship approaching a thousand feet. Then we multiply that unknown number but the hundreds and we have the costs of what Biden is costing those those owners.

You know something else. I am no expert, but I would guess that Biden and his crew of experts have no idea either. Moreover, I would suspect they don’t care.

However, here is one more fact I know. I need not be an expert to figure it out. In the end, it will not be the owners who pay that fortune, but we the people who buy the goods that come off those ships. Once again, I don’t think Biden cares about that either. All he cares about is global warming.

Crises vs Crises

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, FOC, Going Green by

Now, let’s see. We have diseased people and criminals flowing over our border. We still have hundreds, maybe thousands of Americans and Afghans who were helpful to us in danger in Afghanistan hiding for their lives. We have thousands of containers stranded on who knows how many ships. There are hundreds going through the stores taking whatever suits their fancy, needed or not. We’re losing police, doctors, nurses and firemen by the hundreds due to mandatory vaccinatins. Note: We are not losing so much as 1 politician or lawyer.

However, it would seem the only thing Biden his FOCs are interested in are global warming and the new green deal.

Vaccines

Posted in Fauci, News media by

One day when I was in the fourth grade, we came in from recess and there was a projector in the room. It had a good sized reel on it and it looked like it was ready to go. We were all thrilled because we realized we were going to see a movie. In this case, it was a movie put out by Bell Telephone about vaccines. At the time, they produced a number of very good educational movies intended for the lower grades. I wonder if anyone still does that, that is movies without a political slant to them. Well, I guess today they would call them videos and they likely would not need a projector. Any HD TV and a DVD would do.

At any, I got to thinking about the film the other day. Then I got to wondering if the films are still available. Seems to me, that Fauci should watch it. He might learn something from it. For that matter, many of his cohorts would as well.

Just why is that Fauci is not already in prison?
