Me Thinks Someone Turned on the Part C Spigot

Posted in Advertising by

I can’t remember exactly when it is that we started being able to change our Medicare options, but I am pretty sure the insurance companies know. The ads started and they don’t stop; one ad after the next. If I hear, “It’s free,” two more times I will go nuts. I hear the ad on one channel. I change channels and it is over there too.

It would seem to me that one and all is trying to convince me that theirs is the best. One thing I do know. Those that display the ol’ AARP logo can forget it. I will never have anything to do with that outfit after they backed Obama care. That stunt cost me 30,000 dollars, maybe more.

I have my Medicare set up as well as my wife’s. Since then, though I have had several doctor visits and a couple of hospital visits. I haven’t been billed for one of them. All I do is check the EOBs to make sure no one is charging for something I didn’t get. On the other hand, my wife has had to pay a little. Even so, she has had a cataract surgery and will have another without us having to pay a dime.

I don’t think I like that plan C. I have the sneaky suspicion those outfits are trying to separate me from what little retirement I have and I don’t like that. My spidy senses tell me, they more they advertise, the more money is at stake, my money.

Apologies ?

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, FOC by

Joe had some bad things to say about Rittenhouse without any proof to back up his words. I wonder if he will have any apologies when he finds out he was totally wrong.

I suspect not. It’s why I call him Joe. He certainly didn’t do anything to deserve to be called president. He was never elected. The FOCs and media pulled and pushed him across the finish line.

Then one day, his wife told him, “Guess what, Joe. You have just been elected president.”

Then Joe asked, “President of what. “

[What happened to the concept of the executive branch reserving judgment until after the verdict? Oh yes. I remember. Obama set the pattern when he improperly and wrongly accused those police officers of behaving stupidly, when they were doing their job properly. ]

It’s not a good practice for a president to jump to judgment. By the way, if my memory serves me correctly, I don’t think Obama apologized to those police officers either. It seems to be a pattern for FOC types. Four years they tried to find something on President Trump and never did. Yet, not one FOC offered an apology. Not one admitted to being wrong.

If the pattern holds true, none will this time either.

Common Sense for Bullies

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Border wall, Cancel Culture, Communism, Communist Takover, Controllers, Deceit, Fear, FOC, Going Green, Iran, Liberals, Pelosi, Socialists by

All the way through junior high, I was fairly tall, though I was on the skinny side. Mostly, the bullies left me alone. However, in the eighth grade, there was one guy much bigger than me. He was not only taller but much heavier too. I preferred avoiding fights, but he didn’t.

So, one day, against my better judgement, we faced off. Even though he had both the height and weight advantage, he decided he needed a rock to face me. After it was all over, I did have a bruise over my eye. A small wound compared to what he left with. Oddly, he never bothered me after that.

Unfortunately, after reaching high school, most everyone caught up with me in height and, of course, I was still skinny. That was when I learned a little of tact. Still, there were those who wanted to prove he was the better fighter.

Since those days, I spent a little time in the Marines and bulked up a little. I have hardly been confronted by bullies since then. There was one that wanted to fight me one night. Though he was much bigger, he was about to make a mistake. He was, well, should we say, inebriated. You might say, one good rule for any bully would be to avoid fights while under the influence. In this case, his girlfriend talked him out of it.

Thinking back over it, Jesus actually has some sound advice for bullies as well. Even though I am sure he never quite meant it that way, a bully should still pay heed to it.

“Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?” Luke 14:31Berean Study Bible.

Of course Jesus was speaking of kings and going to war. Still, it does seem to be a good idea for bullies to avoid trying to start fights with people who are bigger than them. Moreover, they might also stay away from those who have spent nine years in the Marines. Just a suggestion. Had that man tried to fight with me, he might have hurt me, but if I hit him once, they would have carried him away in a stretcher. He was bigger. I would have had to use whatever I knew to stop him.

However, if I may, let me get back to what Jesus was talking about, warring between nations. As the implication is, even warring nations prefer to find weaker nations, as did Hitler at the beginning of his endeavors. His error was when he started going after the more powerful ones. Or as the Japanese admiral said after attacking Perl Harbor, “I’m afraid we have waken a sleeping giant.”

My conclusion from all the above is, if you don’t like war, keep yourself strong and powerful. The others may not like you but neither will they fight you. This of course means keeping any enemy from from infiltrating our borders. One enemy inside our borders can do far more damage than ten outside. Even worse, we might not be able to tell who sent him.

At this point there are many who would like to attack us and they can all take advantage of the open border Joe has provided them. The enemy needn’t fight his way in. All he need do is walk in.

It’s a Simple Question

Posted in Abuse of Power, CRT, Deceit, FOC by

I’m not sure. Maybe someone has asked it and I never heard, neither the question nor the reply. I certainly would like to hear both the question and the answer. Actually, I am far more interested in the reply.

It is so odd, people get so bogged down with all the complex things. In this case, the one side says it is wrong to teach CRT while the other side says that they are not teaching CRT. This they do while they threaten to bring down the full investigatorial power of the most powerful investigation authority in the world. Such a threat comes close to shaking the foundations of that big rock on the tip of Spain; you know the ones the British owns.

To me it seems odd. It seems to me the question would have been asked and answered long ago. Well, maybe not answered. Those dummycrats do prefer to reply to the question not asked instead of the one that is asked. It is generally a little less embarrassing.

Oh. I guess you want to know the question. Maybe you would also like to know the answer. I know I would love to see the question asked of Psaki. I know she would not reply to it as she is very good at sidestepping the issues. I am sure that is why she gets paid the big bucks. I am sure that was the reason they chose her to meet the media each day. If she were playing dodge ball, no one would ever get close to hitting her. She stands up there with that big book of notes and whenever someone asks one of those questions she doesn’t like, she decides she will circle around to it.

I would suspect that if someone asks this simple little question she would really decide to do some serious circling.

The thing is, if CRT is not being taught in our schools, why are those in charge get so upset every time someone mentions it? If they don’t teach it, all they need to say is, you are right. It is despicable. We don’t teach it and we agree not to teach it regardless of what it is called.

I suspect they don’t want to make any such agreement. However, what I am still wondering is, why won’t someone ask the question in a place where one and all can hear both the question and answer. It is such a simple question, isn’t it? It is important to receive a truly honest reply.

They will likely reply with a lie or half truth (sort of the same). In such a case, if solid proof of the lie is revealed, it will show them for the liars they are.

Then again, to most of us conservatives, it will be nothing new.

Definition of a Racist

Posted in FOC by

When the FOCs get their backs against the wall, they always resort to their last minute accusation…they call their opponent a racist, which means they disagree with the dems. As such it is a badge to wear with pride. It renders the term useless.

The problem now is, what term do we use for those that have little or no respect for the Afro-Americans?

Oh! I know! Actually, we all know. We can call them Democrats: FOCs for. short. Also referred to as Friends Of Criminals. Everyone knows the only time they respect those who are not white is during the campaigning season.

Getting Along

As the man said, “Can’t we all just get along?”

Every day I get out on the road. During the day, especially after four in the afternoon, they get crowded. Now that we are approaching Christmas, they are going to get especially crowded around the stores, especially Walmart. Some of the intersections can get bottle-necked. There is one intersection near the Chick-fil-a where it can come that it can come to a complete stand still. It is the reason that we park about half a block away whenever we go there… and this though the dinning room is not yet open.

Nonetheless, most of us make it through just fine, though our nerves are a bit frazzled and we burn maybe a quart of gas getting the quarter mile or so. Then too, there is the time element. The reason we usually get along on the road is because of laws, rules that govern who can go and when. We are also encouraged to let the other drivers know our intentions. I find most drivers are courteous provided I use my signals and don’t make any sudden moves. As my brother told me before I did any driving, “Surprises might be fine for birthdays, but not so much for driving.”

Occasionally, though all the rules of the road are followed by everyone, people do have accidents. However, ‘accidents’ are generally the results of someone doing something wrong. Sometimes, it is unintentional; sometime it is right on purpose. Some take advantage of some imagined privilege and before you know it, bumpers are touching and then the tempers really flare. Sometimes, because someone thinks he is special and it ends in the loss of life. In such cases, the police become involved and no one likes the outcome.

When we were making a long road trip, my brother mentioned something that amazed me. On the two lane highway, people were passing each other at the relative speed of 130 mph, assuming both drivers are at the speed limit. A head on collision at that speed is almost always fatal. Yet, we do it everyday, somewhat casually, assuming the driver going the other way is going to stay on his side of the line. By the way, we do this just about 3 or 4 feet apart as we pass. As I think it over, it scares me. However, I still do it, giving it little thought.

The thing is, if we don’t “Just get along,” the results can be horrible, even fatal. So, in general, we follow the rules. In general, we remain relatively courteous. When it calls for it, we take our turn.

On the other hand there are those who are special. When one lane is closed, they wait until the last minute to make the lane change. It isn’t that they just crowd in front of me, but they are also crowding in front of the fifty patient drivers behind me who do it right. Sometimes they go into the emergency lanes. The police don’t like that because the lanes are reserved for real emergencies, not privileged drivers. It makes it difficult for ambulances, fire vehicles and tow trucks to make it through.

Sometimes these privileged drivers enter intersections, knowing that there is not going to be any room for them on the opposite side. When people do that, they cause gridlock. That is sort of what happens near the Chick-fil-a. Lights turn green; lights turn red. Then, because there are cars in the intersection, no one goes anywhere.

I can go on and on, but I am sure you know what I mean. The purpose for me explaining that which you know is to point out something that just might not be so obvious. We have other laws too, rules that we are supposed to follow. When we don’t it can result in problems. Yet there are people who disobey them. In some cases, they are caught by police and they are made to pay for the infractions. Other times, they get away with it. Here lately, it would seem they get away with it, as others watch. Sometimes even while others cheer them on. Sometimes, right in front of the eyes of law enforcement officers.

In situations such as this, it is as if there are no laws. It makes us a lawless society. In the end, it is to the detriment of all. For no one wants to live where there is no law.

Yet we have a political party that would have such a country. They want us to live in a place of theft and pillaging. They like it when the murderer murders and the innocent citizen goes to prison for defending his life and property. The figuratively put cuffs on the border patrol and ICE while they wave the law breaking illegal aliens through.

To be sure, where there is no enforcement, there is no law. Where there is no law, there is no justice. Where there is no justice, there is no just getting along. It was the reason for the law in the first place. But then the lawless society is exactly what they want and it is exactly what they are forcing onto the rest of us, like it or not.

Due to recent revelations, it would appear our nations number one law enforcement organization threw all the laws away. Instead of enforcing them they were breaking them. Dozens suffered the results directly. We all suffered indirectly. Yet, I doubt any of those really behind it will ever see the inside of a prison cell. Certainly neither of the Clintons will. There power and influence are simply too great. This is ironic seeing as Mrs. Clinton said that no one is above the law. Besides, there is no way the media will permit either of the Clintons to suffer such indignity.

If it becomes that way on the roadways, we might all be better walking.

An Improvement on a Good Idea

Posted in Biden, Border wall by

The governor of Florida suggested he might send some of the illegal aliens sent to Florida by Joe to Delaware. It does sound like a good idea, but why not let them off in the vicinity of The White House and Capital Building instead. Moreover, let’s start doing it from every red state. Maybe it would not get the desired results, but it would get someone’s attention. I doubt the mainstream media could overlook it.

I am sure in the long run, Joe would win out, but it would sure be a lot of bad publicity for him in the meantime. Besides, it just might expose his inability to think on his feet, or at all.

Law & Order

Posted in Biden, FOC, Kamala, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation by

Okay. I sort of borrowed from the TV show, that is the title. However, the title wasn’t all that original. It is an old phrase that has been used for a long time. Who knows? It might have even been used in England before the Pilgrims sat sail.

Regardless, it is an obvious fact that if there had been law & order that night when Rittenhouse took two lives, this trial would not have taken place. The only reason he was there was to help maintain law and order, the one thing that the police were prohibited to do.

If I may, let me suggest one more thing. Had Rittenhouse not been there; had he not shot anyone, I think it is highly probable that someone else might have been killed… perhaps some 4 or 5 year-old. On the other hand, the victim might have been a grandmother. Such things do happen when you let the riots rule instead of the law.

The truth of the matter is, those who are really guilty of the loss of life that night were the rioters. And, by the way, at least one of victims was a involved in the rioting. Indeed, it would appear he might have been one of the leaders.

The truth of the matter is, it is why we empower the police to act in our behalf, to maintain law and order. When you disable, you enable the criminals. When you enable the criminals, you are likely to see a few killings. It is sort of natural. The one thing follows the other. It is ludicrous to expect anything else.

Get a Horse!

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, FOC by

I guess I was in high school when I first heard the saying, maybe a little before. I was never really told what it means but I would guess it was a suggestion to replace the old unreliable jelopy with an old reliable horse.

These days the advice just might be more serious as well as more sound. Consider my situation. I have a fairly large yard, when considering front and back. The horse just might be able to live off my lawn. I don’t think I would need to buy much hay. Moreover, it is just a short distance to most of what I need.

Besides, I can get just about anything delivered to my front door. If I should need a car, one is just a phone call away. For the short trips, the horse would do. The hitch, if you’ll excuse my poor play on words, is that I don’t think they will let me keep a horse. They likely have ordances against such things, even I claim it’s a pet.

Things have changed. A hundred years ago,no problems. Come to think of it, I don’t think they will let a horse and buggy on the roads around here. Maybe I need to move.

The point is, if Biden has his way, a bunch of us will be getting horses. Incidentally, we will likely start cutting down trees too, to put in the wood stove that will replace our natural gas furnaces.

While Biden wants to go to solar batteries and wind mills, he just might drive us back into the Middle Ages. Then again, that just might be what he wants.

I’ll let you guess why. I will drop 1 hint. It would make it really easy for many countries, such as China or Russia to march in here and turn us into a colony.

Irregardless, as they like to say around these parts, I think I would like a pet house or two. I wonder if it would do any good to have a talk with the mayor.

The Meaning of Inflation

Posted in Biden, FOC by

Occasionally, we hear a financial report from the government and we pay little or no attention to it. We just received a report on inflation we should all pay close attention to.

Without getting specific to anyone`s bank account, let’s consider the account that had 100,000 dollars 12 months ago. Ignoring deposits and withdrawals, though the dollar amount will be nearly the same, it is as if Uncle Sam just reached down out of the sky and took 6,2000 dollas, without leaving a thing behind in return.

At the same time, you also took a 6% pay cut. I don’t know about y`ll but, if I got 5% raise, I thought I did well. With the inflation, it would be a 1.2% pay cut. As the saying goes, the harder you would work, the behinder you would get.

Biden says he is for the little guy, but the only guys that benefit from inflation are the outrageously rich. They make money faster than inflation can steal it. So far Biden has benefited only the rich. The rest of us will be taking it in the wallet.
