In the End, It Might be President Kamala

As much as I hate to admit it, it just might be President Cackle. It is just about my worst fears. I just might have have to leave the news off for the next 4 years. But how can it be, with a record as bad as it is. A border which virtually doesn’t exist. An economy in the tank and prices going through the roof. Wars breaking out all over and getting worse by the day. You would think no one in their right mind would ever vote for her.

However, if you don’t see how it can be, you are overlooking two big things. First and foremost, Old Joe might not make it. The dems might make sure of it. They just might ask him to step down. They just might threaten with amendment number 25. All it would take is a statement from his doctor. That could be easily arranged. The dems do that sort of thing all the time.

The second thing, is that she just might win the election. You see, she will get money from the billionaires, businesses and unions. She will get hours of backing by the news media daily. She will have illegal votes by the millions. And then, with all this… with all this help, she just might barely get enough votes to win.

The fact is, of course, dems do know how to win… cheat! Cheat! and Cheat some more! It’s how the soviets did it. It’s how Mao did it. It has been tried and it works, you know.

Why For the Pursuit of Power

Truth-be-known, Trump is also seeking power, as is Kamala. The difference is that Kamala seeks power to remove constitutional rights while Trump seeks to protect the constitutional rights. He seeks to protect the freedoms the constitutions provides.

Truth-be-known, Kamala is guilty of lying under oath the instant she took her oath. While Trump truly wants to defend the country and Constitution, Kamala sought the power, that is to say, the authority of office for the sole purpose to control people and to destroy the constitution and the US as we know it.

To-be-sure, the seeking of power in itself is not bad. However, when destruction is the primary purpose to seek that power; when it becomes an obsession; when a person or organization lies steals and consistently does evil in the process, the power becomes evil as does the seeking of it.

Bottom line, evil is evil, no matter what you try to call it. The seeking to use evil to rule in itself is evil. This is especially true when lives are lost in that pursuit. The worst of all, in seeking their power the dems allow, even encourage the killing of humans by doctors. They do this not because it is good, but because they know they will gain power from those that want to take those lives.

Policies?

The question, as it were is, “Policies? What policies. I didn’t know she had policies. Does anyone know Kamala has policies.

Well, actually, I guess it does simply depend on the day of the week and which way the wind is blowing.

Now, Walz, we know what his policy is. Run the first sign of danger.

Now, Kamala. The best guess I have is for her to cackle the first time she has no answer to the question.

Unions Are Good Things

That is, until they destroy the businesses their members work for.

That is, until the leaders no longer represent the members and grow to love the money, power and fame.

That is, until they drive the businesses out of the country.

That is, until they decrease the quality of the products.

When They Run…

When they run from what they did, they know it was wrong and they knew it was wrong with they did it. As it is, they are running from what they did as hard as they can. They are telling big whoppers to keep you from knowing what they did.

If and when they win the election, they will continue doing what they did, even though they know it is wrong. They know it hurts you and me. They know it hurts people. They know it hurts communities and businesses. They know it hurts the economy and they know it hurts our country. However, they simply don’t care. They have no pity or empathy for anyone. They care not about the disasters they cause, as long it does not cause damage to them.

It is the power they want, no matter who or what they destroy. It is sort-of the thing a Godless people do.

I Don’t Know but I’ve Been Told

Just a rumor, you know. Still, it wouldn’t surprise me. It sounds completely logical to me. I suppose it is possible even probable that we will never know. With decisions, it is often that way. You hear that someone is considering something and then they not to. You never know if they were considering it or not.

Then too there is my rule concerning rumors. If it is a good rumor, it won’t come true. If it is a bad rumor, it is almost certain to come true. Then too, the worse the rumor, the more certain. And of course, there is the other possibility. If it doesn’t matter if it comes true or not, then obviously, it doesn’t matter if it comes true. Hence, one my favorite saying, if it doesn’t matter, then it doesn’t matter.

Still if I were a gambling man, and I’m not, I’d put my money on the rumor as being true. It would be a very safe bet. It would never be provable either way. I would at least suspect the idea was at least brought up and discussed for a while. Some advantages would be brought up. Then they would bring up the problems it would cause.

It does make me wonder if Kamala will even be brought in on the discussion. I mean, just because she’d the candidate, why should she have any say-so. Besides, her candidacy was not earned. It was handed to her on a silver platter. She never received a vote. It was an emergency situation, you know. They couldn’t stay with Old Joe. I would say figuratively they would have had to drag him across the finish line; however, in this case, it might be literal.

Worse, the damage had been done and it was getting worse every day. The Old Joe race was slowing to a casual walk.

At first it was starting to look really good for Kamala, but it was soon discovered that she does not do well as a public speaker. Actually, she is lousy at it. Maybe that is what she is doing in the basement now, learning how to read one of those fancy speech making machines.

The problem is, now they are discovering a new problem, a weight that is slowing the race down. Apparently, some habitual liars have real problems when they claim they did things in the military when they didn’t, especially when they turned tail and run the first time there is a chance there is going to be some shooting at something other than a paper target.

So, the rumors start. Indeed, I suspect it is even now being considered. To be sure, they might even now be looking for a replacement for a running mate.

As I say, wouldn’t surprise me none. Wouldn’t surprise me if they replace him. Wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t. At this point, they would have a very difficult time finding a dog catcher who would be willing to take the job. Who would be willing to be connected to this disaster. Hence, we will never know if the rumor was true or not.

Let’s be real. I am sure the subject came up. Most everyone would have to admit it is only logical.

It Was Free

My wife and I were watching an old rerun of one of NCIS New Orleans shows. Well, let me correct myself. She was watching it. I was writing and occasionally, a few of the words from the show penetrated my attention. She started getting upset with the show so I terminated it.

An old memory came to mind. Many years ago, I watched a show that was on PBS, Foyle’s War. It was one of the few shows that PBS had that was really good in many ways. When I looked it up on the internet, I saw that Amazon had the first episode free. I clicked on the button, “watch free.” In seconds, and I mean seconds, the opening scene popped up on the computer screen.

In minutes, my thoughts were, why don’t they make shows like that anymore. Nowadays, they don’t sell plots, they sell sex and gore. Well, occasionally they have something of a plot snuck in there. I am even disappointed with the original NCIS show these days.

At any rate, as they advertised, it was free and worth every penny. Even more, there were no station breaks, as they like to call it. As I eluded to, I saw it years ago and I enjoyed then too. However, I had forgotten many of the little things that I saw that made it such a good show. It wasn’t just the main plot that made it so good but all the little sub-plots woven in.

The show opens in England at the time that WWII is just starting and it brings to mind many of the nuances that we don’t normally consider, such as the problems that they had with Germans, good and bad living throughout island nation. Unlike as with the US, they did not have the option of deciding whether or not to incarcerate people of a suspicious background. If they had a German background, they were imprisoned. The survival of the nation was at hand and little mistakes could not be afforded. It also brought out the way people in high places were taking advantage of the of war, using it to make their fortune.

There was another important aspect that the show presented. While the vast efforts had to be put into their national defense, they still needed police as there were still those that broke the law. Then too, it was a country that was emersed in traditions, in royalty and in day-to-day-life that was being turned into a nation of nightmares and daily disasters and interruptions in daily life.

I wouldn’t say it was an eyeopener. I was aware of it all. However, it was somewhat different, in a way to see it, as reality opening up before me, forcing me to see what can happen when men seek power. It is the greed and power hunger, not only of Hitler and his minions, but also of the person down the street who will still rob you blind given the chance. Indeed they will even take advantage of the war to take from his fellow man. Then there are those in the government who sought the positions of power and abused that power.

In a way, it was as looking in a mirror. The same thing happened in the US. There were and are those who would like to take advantage of great danger to take that which is ours from us, even our very freedom as well as our security for their personal benefit.

I guess wars do bring out the best and the worst in all of us. It just is, the power hungry always win the vote. We want peace, they want war. They always get the war and we are not permitted to object. It would seem all we need is one greedy man to disrupt the lives of millions. Well, of course, it would seem they never seem to have any problem building their help. It was only in a few short years that took a nation from the shambles of WWI to a nations that took over virtually all of Europe to and threatened the most powerful country on earth. When you look back over it, if it weren’t for just a few key battles, a few desperate measures, Britain would be no more.

Nowadays, we don’t think about it much. We may go months without thinking how close it really was. It is all taken for granted, not realizing that we are really even today in even more danger than they were back then. We now, as then, go about our daily lives not thinking how fast our lives might be disrupted so quickly by power seekers, both within and without of our country. You don’t think it can happen. many of those that were in the towers that were destroyed didn’t think it would happen either. In a few short minutes, the live of people were destroyed. The city would go through years recovering from the disruption. Even the nation was set back on its heels. And even now, we can’t board a plane without being reminded of it.

It does make me wonder, just what must happen to make us aware that there are those on this earth, even just down the street who seek power for their benefit, and they will take from us whatever they want, even the lives of family and friends.

I Guess I Need to Put My Civil Engineer Hat on for This One

Actually, I have thought about this one many times. First, I think all streets should be one way. I know. Most folks get real upset with one way streets. However, I don’t think anything would improve traffic flow much more. Left and right turns would be the same and it would decrease the waiting time at intersections waiting for people turning left. Moreover, the need would be for 2 maybe three lanes. There would be no need for the center lane used for turns.

Of course, there would be one block in between the alternating street directions. If there are any lights, it would be only for north/south and east/west. There would be no need for turn signals.

I would like the streets, or at least the interstates to have covers. It would keep the streets dryer and mostly snow free. Also, they would provide shade during the summer. Okay, I’m talking lots of money but it’s my city and my streets.

When the streets are originally paved, they should have about two inches thicker paving than required. Then, whenever ruts would become too deep, one of those scrappers could pass over and make it all level again. Those scrappers are really fast. They could take about an eighth of an inch off a street miles long in a couple of days. There is a side benefit. The wheels would pack the areas that have a tendency to form ruts making those parts of the street harder. Therefore, it would take longer for the next ruts to form.

Perhaps a wire or painted line should go down the middle of the lanes. Sensors in the car would keep the car in the center of the lane, or at least alert a dozing driver to a drift in steering, I have no intention of replacing the driver, just to enhance the safety.

I noticed one problem with traffic lights is that if I am behind a truck, I can’t see if the light is red. Also if the sun is behind me, I can’t see which lights are on or off. I don’t know how this can be solved, but I would work on it.

Point of interest, I heard Rev J. Vernon McGee describe a conversation with a real civil engineer who designed real highways. Rev. McGee said that he asked the engineer about how difficult it must be to get the right-of-ways with all the buildings and housing in the way. He said that the engineer said the buildings and such are no problem. It’s the cemeteries that give them fits. They can’t be moved so easy and they are all over the place. My idea: Maybe the ancient civilizations had the right idea in just building burial mounds. That way, they the mound grows mostly up and not out. Regardless, burying the dead is getting to be a bigger problem than keeping electric cars charged.

Must be a Steep Hill

Considering all the help Kamala has, she must be going up a steep hill. if she were on level ground, she’d be going the speed of sound and Trump would be left far behind. But she’s barely out of the staring gate and she is barely ahead in the polls. She must be gong up hill on a slippery slope.

I suspect without so much lies from the press, she would be going backward.
