Decisions, Decisions

I have heard idea after idea as to who Trump should choose as his running mate. I have heard half a dozen reasons and and who knows the purposes.

Could it be that most have overlooked the real reason and purpose. Now that he is older and unmistakably at least 4 years closer to the grave, that purpose has become unmistakably more important. Should President Trump die, or more likely becomes disabled, we need to have a competent, strong leader who can step in. More than that, with Trump limited to 4 years, it would be far better to provide a smooth transition to a competent and knowledgeable person.

If for some reason Trump were not able to finish his term, do we want a rino to take the rein.

Hopefully, Trump will finish his term. Still do you want him to give the advantage to someone who knows not what he is doing, as with Pres Bush.

The choice is Trumps, not mine. But if I could provide him just a little advice, I would suggest that he chose someone a lot like him. It may or may not help him get into office. However, it just might be a big help to the country.

Incidentally, it just might send a good strong message to those in the establishment wing of the Republicans.

I Told Ya So

Time after time there have been attact after attack on US troops. Time after time we escaped any American troops killed and Old Joe said they did not kill Americans yet.

I said the pattern will be repeated until one day they will.

A person need not be a prophet to foresee this one. I mean really. How much clearer must it be for the obvious to be seen.

Now, Old Joe has been confronted two inches from in front of his eyes. Even the media has reported it. Just, now what will Old Joe do? Even more, will he admit his error he made before all mankind?

Naw. Not going to happen. Dems never, never, never ever admit being wrong or doing wrong. They didn’t in Afghanistan. They didn’t with the oil and natural gas. What makes anyone think this will be different?

Mockery Check

Old Joe says hurry hurry pass laws so I can close the border.

  1. He’s been saying it’s closed…no problem. No need for new laws.
  2. He’s been making a mockery of the laws he ignores now. Who, in their right mind, expects that he will follow any new laws any better than the current ones?
  3. Those rinos are in cahoots with the dems will make a new set of far more liberal laws, which will make it more difficult for any future presidents keep illegal aliens south of the border.

Old Joe can stop the illegal aliens as did President Trump. However, Old Joe has just decided to dig his heels in at the bequest of his puppeteers and he refuses to follow the current laws.

One day the terrorists are going to terrorize and Old Joe, of course, will blame it on the conservatives. Why?? Because they stood in the way of rushing through more laws to ignore.

One more thing, one and all need to know when that disaster befalls us, when people die, when buildings fall, when planes crash, Joe and his cohorts will be thrilled. They will have another disaster to take advantage of. They will have something else upon which to build their power. Let’s face. Will they not have a reason to pass anti gun laws? Will they not have a perceived reason to lock up Jews and Christians? Works just as it did in prewar Germany and it will be just as effective. When it happens, you will look around amazed and horrified knowing it is too late.

They will have used the Constitution to destroy the Constitution. They will have used our freedom to destroy our freedom. They will use freedom of speech to destroy our freedom of speech. In the end, they will control our very thoughts.

I write this, lest you be surprised.

Automated Restaurants

Those that report the first automatic restaurants must not have had their eyes open. I have seen automation at some level since 1975. You put the the raw burger in one end and it comes out the other fully cooked in less than 3 minutes. I saw them firsthand. This is more than twice the speed as a regular grill because the burger is cooked on both sides at once.

There is a place in Southaven that has done much to automate cooking of pizzas. I also saw on TV a machine that totally automatically pancakes. This was, I guess decades ago.

Here’s the thing. None of the machines I discibed has any real computerization. It would take very little to fully automate them. It is not that new. Building the more automated equipment is simply a matter of an increase in the demand.

As an aside, I remember seeing a McDonald’s with fry machines totally automatic. I remember watching in fastenation. The potatoes went through a peeling station then sliced. There they fell into fryer baskets.

Whenever needed, the baskets were transported to the fryers and into the oil. They were dumped under a warm light and salted. The only thing a person did was bag them.

I have no idea if any McDonald’s still does this, perhaps at busier stores. Even though the machine could take place of a couple of people, I am sure the machine would need cleaning from time to time.

Thing is, right now the automation is possible. The question is, how much business does it take to justify buying machines that must be cleaned and repaired.

Another point that I have noticed, far more important, how much time do the employees stand around talking as apposed to being productive. I guess this is a question to be resolved by management and customers. So far I have seen a significant tolerance by McDonald’s & Wendy’s management. Automated or not, making customers wait 15 to 20 minutes in a store with 2 customers is unsatisfactory from the customer’s point of view. It should not be tolerated by management either.

Different

Elvis Presley’s house is within bicycle range. However, to see it I would have to go to a part of Memphis I avoid these days. There was a time I would not have hesitated to strole down the part of Highway 51.

These days, I make sure to maintain a good 5 or 6 miles from the area, even while in a car.

The hitch is, I am a little different. I have no desire to see the place anyway. Hence all I have ever seen is what I can see over the fence. It will remain that way even if someone offered me a free guided tour. I never was a fan.

Politicians Who Seek Personal Power

In the series of books I have written about floaters, I call them controllers, sort of like Old Joe and a number of senators and representatives. This would Include city mayors who like the prestige more than the job. That includes the brass in the military more interested in their news headlines than the mission and the good of his men. And then, of course there are those George Soros district attorneys who, for personal gain, have released untold numbers of the bad guys.

Need I really continue? Is any of this new to anyone?

Ant Hills

Mt 17:20, we are told if we have the faith of a mustard seed, we can command mountains to move. Maybe it also takes patience and practice.

As for me, I am still working on ant hills, though I must admit I was surprised with an occasional mole hill. In fact, if you want that type of help, you would be far better off finding someone else. Time and time again, I pray for A and I get B instead. I don’t have a good record but a negative one.

Obviously, the problem is me. I have hopes of improving. The hitch is that time is running out, and I really do need to move more than an ant hill.
