A Little Hint for the Wise

I heard an ad the other day from a charity, please send money. We need it especially bad because of climate change. Sounds to me like a blatant lie. You want to send money to folks like that?

I heard another ad. Please do business with us because we do what we can to prevent climate change. Sounds to me as if they have bent to the pressure being applied by the dems. I think I’d prefer to go done the street and make my purchases from someone else, someone who isn’t going to bend to the pressure from Old Joe and his cronies. On the other hand, it might be worse. The folks that run that run that company might actually believe that hogwash. Don’t sound too bright to me.

Hint: some of those that you are speaking to in those ads have brains. Some have not been deceived nor will they be. Some of us won’t buy the lie spread by the libs and communists. There are some of us who will not give in to “woke” charities and we prefer to avoid doing business with woke businesses. Think about it, at least close to half of us are Republicans. Many of us are conservatives who actually know how to think. Would intelligent people really want to chase off close to half of those who hear the ads. Dumb!

I wonder if these companies might have too many customers that they are trying to rid themselves of a few. Are the charities receiving too many donations? Sound really crazy nuts to me.

As for those who are republicans, or those who can actually think, maybe it is a good time to start paying attention to where your money is going. Maybe that money would do better in the hands of folks who are not so easily deceived.

Just a suggestion, a hint.

Not Getting Much Sleep

I went to bed last night, about ten. I usually don’t do that. I guess it will teach me. I generally don’t call it quits until after midnight these days, but I was tired.

Now you might find it odd but once I was asleep, I spent the night installing personal computers out at FedEx. Now there is a little logic to that, though not much. I actually did work there a while, a long while ago. However, I drew my paycheck from another outfit.

Also, ever since I left the Marines behind, I have worked on or with computers. I was discharged about 45 years ago and it’s now been a long time ago since I retired from my last job.

However, I have noticed that when you spend the whole night installing computers, sleeping or not, you just don’t get much rest. First, I was doing a lot of walking, carrying things, the newest and the fastest personal computers along with their associated components. You know what I mean. Printers, scanners, communications stuff. Oddly enough, in my dream, I knew what it all was and how to set it up. Now that I recall it though, I haven’t the vaguest idea what it was or what it did. Shows to go about those dreams. Sometimes they are just crazy nuts.

At any rate, I just woke up and now I’m going to have to go back to sleep to recover from all the hard work. Odd. The hardest I worked in years, and I did it all in my sleep.

Something Comon Among the Ceasars?

Oddly, something I noticed among the Caesars of Rome. Their names seem to mostly end in the letters us. I have no idea why. Maybe it’s something to do with language. Then again, maybe, in day, everyone’s name ended in us. Maybe someone knows and can tell me. I only went through high school and no one there told me. Maybe no one there knew either.

At any rate, thought occurred to me that there are those today who would like to add a um to his or her last name. So tell me, just how would Bidenus go over. Maybe some would like the name Pelosius. Then there are some of those up and commers. What’s the name of that California governor. Oh yes. Had to look him up. The memory doesn’t work like it used to.

Regardless, Newsom won’t work. Newsomus just doesn’t work. Wait a minute. He can just modify his name. Just change the om to us. No. That doesn’t work either. No hope for Newsom without a complete name change. Just as well. He doesn’t know how to run a state. Can’t expect him to know how to run a nation the size of the US.

The question has often been asked, “What’s in a name?” I don’t know. I guess those guys back in Rome thought they had to have the us. Maybe they knew something we don’t. Anyone can be a leader. But to be a despot, your name must end in us. Or at least back then.

Controllers

I don’t exactly know why it is but there is always an element of society that likes to be in control. Throughout history, we have had our pharaohs, kings, tzars, emperors, casers and on and on. Invariably, they have two things in common. They say they have the good of the people in mind and they always have huge egos. In some cases, they proclaim themselves to be gods and frequently do all they can to live eternally. (Not with much success)

Well, actually, they have two more things in common. They love to have absolute control over the entirety of their realm, and they want their realm to include the entirety of world.

Hitler and Mussolini had dreams of world dominance. Naturally, had we lost the war, the three empires would eventually have to fight it out to determine if we all would speak German, Italian or Japanese. As controllers, they would have never been willing to share.

It seems as one controller goes down to defeat another stands ready willing and able to take over. Here lately, they’ve been coming at us in bunches. Even before Hitler, Stalin was ready to take his position in history. We finally deal with Hitler and Mao shows up on the world stage.

Then, there are the dozen, or so mini dictators who kept popping up. They showed up in Central and South America. They tried to seize control of Africa. Then, while we drive one dictator out of Cuba, we find out we just installed another. I’m sure the Cuban’s appreciated that. Of course, Castro said it was for the good of Cuban people. I think that was a lie and I suspect there are few Cubans that would agree.

Now, we have Putin, the man that snatched monarchy out of the immature democracy that preceeded him. At least the man is honest. He’s not doing it under the premise of creating a utopian society where all are equal. (You notice, always these utopias always have people who are more equal than others.)

All the folks like me just want to live out our lives in peace. The problem is that every time we turn around someone else comes along and starts a war with us, of course, promising peace and equality.

The Bible tells us that there will be a man who will be successful in taking total control of the world. He will promise peace and prosperity. For a while, there will be peace but not for long. The man will bring war, hunger and a horrible economy. The average family will not be able to purchase a loaf of bread. There will be disease and I would suspect riots. Not many will sit by under these conditions and do nothing.

For seven years the man will be the ultimate controller. At the end of the seven years God will put an end to it. He will put Satan and the man away for a thousand years. During that time, Christ will rule this world. The controllers popping up and taking control will cease. Jesus will see to it.

For sure, you do not want to be around to see those seven years. They will be the worst seven years on this planet.

There is a way to avoid it. Accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Before this all happens, Jesus will take those who are saved out of this world. We who are born into the Kingdom of God will be with Jesus through the whole thing. The suffering will only be for those who refuse to accept Jesus as their savior.

Maybe, possibly sounds like a good idea to accept Jesus as your savior, the earlier the better.

As for those controllers. They will get everything they have coming to them, including the devil. You certainly don’t want to be counted among them.

Controllers in Control of the Churches

It is no new idea of mine that it is time for our churches to rid themselves of control by DC. One might ask, “How is Washington controlling our churches?” By the tax-exempt status. The law says that if the preacher speaks on politics, then they are in danger of losing their tax-exempt status. Therefore, they don’t speak on politics. Therefore, DC controls the subject from the pulpits. It is the same way that Washington controls the schools, the speed limits and who knows how many other things.

But, if we give up our exempt status, then people will stop giving to the church. They will go to other churches. Sounds just exactly like what they want us to say. Hence, I say, DC has control of the churches. Right now, it is in a minor way. However, I suggest it will only get worse, not better.

Moreover, I don’t think God likes the idea of Old Joe controlling what is said from the pulpit. If God directs the preacher to speak on the subject, regardless of the subject, Joe really ought not have any say.

Next, do they call abortion a political issue. Already, it is getting difficult to bring up homosexuality, though the Bible makes it quite clear that it is not political. What happens when Old Man Joe fusses for churches speaking about January 6. The instant a preacher says those imprisoned should be pardoned, bang, there goes the tax status.

After a while, the line between politics and religion will be blurred more and more through time. Better that we lie down the gauntlet now. Tell them, it’s First Amendment territory. They have no business telling us what we preach or when we preach it. It is called freedom of speech. It’s called freedom of religion. It’s not called Remote control by DC by improper taxation.

We might lose some folks from the pews. Maybe it is better.

Then again, those churches that don’t mind receiving instruction from DC, then, by all means, say nothing about politics. Say nothing about abortion. Say nothing homosexuality. Careful about what say about crime and law enforcement. Mostly, don’t say a word about the candidates and what they believe. If we take money, then it’s not legal.

As my aside. Bear in mind, there are churches that have no problems maintaining their tax-exempt status while talking about politics, politicians and even encouraging politicians to speak from their podiums. They teach what the dems teach and they have no difficulty in blatantly disobeying the law. The dems have no difficulty blatantly ignoring the disobedience. And of course, one must be very careful about pointing this out.

90 Lifetime Sentences

Good! The man deserved it. The Texas gunman killed 23 people. It’s a shame he will survive only until he dies. It would be good if he would serve out a sentence of 90 times 70 years. However, that is simply not possible.

Now, on the other hand, Fauci was responsible for the deaths of over a million. Yet, he won’t spend a day of encarceration. It’s just not right. The man should at least spend a hundred years in prison.

If Only There Were Fines

I don’t need to quote the first amendment to you. You might even know it better than I do. Basically, hopefully, it protects our freedom of speech and religion, among other things. It seems that the FBI and other officials of the federal government were doing all they could to decrease, even eliminate, those rights by telling the social media to stop people from being able to use the social media to say certain things.

It’s all out in the open now. Even Old Joe’s press secretary has implicitly admitted it in a press conference. Moreover, she said they would do it again if they felt they needed to. Now isn’t that nice. They don’t stop us from saying what we want. They just make sure others do. Same thing. No difference. That gag that was put on conservatives was by the government, by remote control. Moreover, they seem to be proud of themselves for doing it.

My question now is, how are things going to be set right. People have lost their jobs because of what they did. Doctors have lost their practices. Lawyers have been shunned. Some have even gone to jail. Let us not forget the two and three-olds that were tossed out of planes because they refused to wear masks. Certainly, we don’t want to overlook the schools that were shut down by a few power-hungry animals.

Now, let’s see. What do I think should happen now. The people who met with those social outfits should be tried. If found guilty, they should be required to pay fines.

I only wish it were possible. However, I don’t think it is. Odd as it is, even if found guilty, I don’t think that any fines can be levied. I don’t think they can be forced to spend one day in prison. I don’t know. I’m not a lawyer.

Perhaps I can get a lawyer and prove the Director of the FBI caused me harm by impeding my speech. However, no matter how successful I am with my suit, I don’t think I could collect a dime. Though the Constitution does say that the government cannot pass any laws against my freedom of speech, as far as I know, there are no statutes prescribing any penalties or fines for government officials limiting my speech, directly or indirectly.

So, unless I am wrong, and I really hope I am, those that have been wronged have but one recourse…shrug their shoulders and strive on. Perhaps one thing we need to do, if we can ever wrestle the government away from those power hungry dems, we need to put some teeth to the first amendment, and maybe a few of the others too. When a government official crosses the line, let’s make sure he pays, if not with his freedom, then at least with his wallet.

A Little Instruction

That’s the problem. Little instructions. You notice that instructions are being printed smaller and smaller. Believe it or not, I remember a day when I could pull out a frozen dinner and easily read the instructions without magnification. Now, I have trouble reading them with 3x glasses.

Well, okay. It is true my eyes have gotten worse. I started with 1.5x glasses and worked my way up 3x. That is really bad. You can’t get stronger reading glasses off the rack and they keep making the instructions smaller every year or two. My eyes aren’t getting any better either.

I figured I have three options. Give up frozen dinners or anything else with small instructions. Have special made glasses. Finally I can keep a big magnifying glass handy.

Then too, someone just might come to my recue with a magnifying app. Now, wouldn’t that be nice? All I would need to do is pull out my phone, start the app and point the phone’s camera at the instructions. Piece of cake.

Now, does anyone know anyone who can write a magnifying app for all us old folks?

Incidentally, can we ever get a minimum size for instruction print size.

Why Object?

A federal judge made a decision against Old Joe and his cohorts. No more can they meet and agree as to what speech to allow or block.

Now, why should they object…that is unless they are using the social media for limiting our free speech.

Now, let’s see. Isn’t it against the first amendment to limit our speech even if it is indirect?

I think it is. I think a federal judge just agreed with me.

Now. Just how is it that we are to be compensated for all the past damage caused by Old Joe and his socialist comrads.

More importantly, how do we keep keep the socialists from finding another way around the first and most important amendment.

A Word for Lenny’s

Just now got home from Lenny’s. Had a 7.5 inch Philly steak. Let me tell you. That was a sandwich. I just almost hand to disengage my jaw to get my mouth around it.

Also, the service was great, and the prices are decent. Doesn’t leave much room for complaint, does it?

I guess I’ll be going back more often now. Sure has McDonald’s beat, food, service and price.
