Knowing What They’re Saying

Posted in Deceit, Politally Correct by

Learned a new word a couple of days ago, ubiquitous. Now there’s a word for you. I heard the word used on TV by a news anchor and figured I had no idea what she was talking about.

So. I looked up the word. Didn’t understand the definition so I looked it up again. Then I looked for synonyms. Oddly, the word has dozens of them. Made me wonder why the woman used ubiquitous when other words would have explained her point more clearly. Then I figured it out.

If I may use another fancy two-bit word. Maybe four bits. Her purpose was to obfuscate her meaning. I guess there are a few folks in this country that know what ubiquitous means, but not many as like me. You see, I don’t have one of those sheepskins, so I don’t know all those big words like that.

Well, to be honest, it’s not really that big. It just is that a person might read a dozen or so books without seeing it. It just is not that common. Up until a few days ago, I can’t remember hearing it. It is one of those words where you go out of your way to use it. It is also a good word for obfuscating things.

I mean, if a kid ask his dad to stay out till midnight, he might say, “Gee Dad. It is ubiquitous these days.” Then of course, rather than to admit to not knowing the meaning of the word, dad decides he must let his kid stay out till midnight, or maybe even one.

On the other hand, mom can say, “Does that mean that if jumping off a cliff is ubiquitous, does that mean that you should do it?”

Okay. I admit. The examples might not be so accurate. I just might be stretching it a little. However, I’m sure you get the point. I mean, we all knew the woman was smart and what she was saying was accurate. Otherwise, how would she know all those fancy words. It is a trick of double-talkers. Use fancy words and everyone thinks you know what you are talking about.

In her case, she was trying to make the point that pride month, or whatever it was she called it met ubiquitous approval, a lie. I think if a secret ballot were held on it, it would have fallen far short. It just was someone in the government thought it was a good idea and no one dare object. I mean, people have lost their jobs over such objections. People have been ousted from country clubs. Whoa if any public teacher object. You and I both know what that would result in.

And so, the only thing really somewhat ubiquitous about the idea was that no one dare object. If someone does object, before or after, don’t dare come to their rescue, else you will suffer the same consequences of the politically correct crowd.

I guess, there is another point to this post. If someone uses a word you don’t know, look it up. Make sure you know what they are talking about. Agree or not, you should know what is being said.

A Little Advice, Worth Every Cent You’re Paying for It

Posted in Customer complaints, experience, Fast Food, Pride, Vocabulary by

Any time that you are looking for employment, if you get to the point of an interview, I suggest you promise that you will keep your mouth shut and do your job.

Well, I suspect that just might overdo it just a little. Sometimes talking, such as in sales, requires talking. Nonetheless, there are those who think talking is their job when it isn’t. Indeed, talking may irritate customers and coworkers. Moreover, it can actually reduce productivity. The boss is not paying you to discuss last night’s date or the score of yesterday’s ball game. When it drives up the din in the dining room, it can actually drive customers away. It can become an irritant.

This is especially true when yelling and, or foul language is used. Believe it or not, there are still some of us who prefer a dinner in a restaurant where such language is not common. Even though I spent 9 years in the Marines, I am still irritated by such language.

Finally, when a person who is supposed to be taking orders is talking to a fellow employee or on a cell phone, it prompts people like me to look around. If there is another place across the street, maybe we’ll just go over there. Worse, we might discover we like the other place and never return to your place. It happens.

In summary, there are some places where loudmouths are not appreciated, especially in the workplace.

As a side note, the rest of us should remember that when in a restaurant, we customers really ought not be obnoxious to the other guests. As guests, we are encouraged to carry on conversations, not yelling contests.

A Victory and a Loss

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Build the Wall! by

The Supreme Court just handed down a victory for Old Joe, which was also a loss for our nation and our national security. No matter how you spell it, it’s horrible news. It means keeping the southern border wide open. I feel for the ranchers who will continue to have to put up with that.

That, of course, means welcoming the illegal aliens, permitting the drugs and most of all, the cartels get to throw a big celebration party this evening. Old Joe might or might not be in league with them. However, if he were, would he do anything differently.

BUILD THE WALL

Must be a Shortage of Orange Jump Suits

Posted in Fauci by

It’s all out now. The investigation is done. Even the dems are beginning to admit to The Virus starting in a lab in China. That is where the deaths of millions of people started. That is where all the suffering started. Incidentally, it is also where President Trump’s loss of election started. Old Joe would have not been able to hide in his basement had there been no virus. He would have actually had to make appearances, which would have uncovered his lack of reality.

One who has a little reasoning ability just might get the idea that it was all intentional. Naw. Never happen. That would mean a man named Fauci arranged the death of millions worldwide just so as President Trump would lose an election. Absolutely no human on the face of the earth would be so cold, so monstrous.

However, regardless, Fauci did arrange the financing of the research. Fauci fought every effort to gain control over it. Fauci did all he could to ruin the lives of every man woman and child in this country. He knew the masks were useless and yet he fought for them. He knew children were relatively resistant to it. And yet he closed all schools, well except for a few Republican states.

I’ve got to believe that if they could convict him of a crime, they would. I mean if anyone should stand trial for murder, he ought to. Yet, he isn’t. He created his havoc, and he made his millions. Then he retired and is not suffering one bit for his intentional sufferings.

Could it be that we have a problem convicting him?

Oh! I GOT IT! I FIGURED IT OUT! I KNOW WHY HE WILL NEVER SEE THE INSIDE OF A PRISON. I am convinced I know the reason. We have run out of orange jump suits.

Maybe, perhaps someone will be willing to offer one of their own; maybe one that is used. Then we can put that monster in the place he deserves to go for the next thousand years.

(How can this be. Make sure, after he dies, he does not get buried until his body has finished his term. It would serve there as an example for future would be monsters.)

Son of a Joe

Posted in Biden, Crazy Nuts, FOC, January 6, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation by

Isn’t it nice to have a father named Joe? When we have a father named Joe, who just happens to be the Occupier of the Oval Office, we can do just about anything we want. When we don’t want to pay income tax, no problem. We just don’t report them. Sometimes, we have to admit it, but we never need to spend a day in jail.

Any time we want, we can lie on federal documents. No problemo. We just admit to it. Someone slaps our hand and says don’t do that no more and, behold; the problemo disappears into the outer limits.

And by the way, we can take all the drugs, legal or not and no one will ever arrest me. No one will mention it in the media… well not much anyway. Makes no difference anyway. No one will complain about it.

The really neat thing about it, should I do something else wrong, all I have to do is to mention that I have this really bad drug problem. Now that’s what I call using my problems to solve problems.

Now for all you all; the rest of you. You’ll never have it so easy. Especially, if you have a big R after your name. Especially if your father’s name is Trump. Especially if you worked for or have a friend named Trump. For those…. You all just have to get used to putting up with (here goes, the intended pun) TRUMPED UP charges for anything and everything.

Take Adam Schiff, Please

Posted in Adam Schiff, Christian values, Collusion, Controllers, Deceit, Lawyers and Representation by

For months, years even, Schiff claimed he had evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia. He claimed to have videos of Trump performing unmentionable acts with prostitutes. He claimed that Trump lied and misled the people of the US repeatedly. I know. I saw him while he spoke on TV live.

Now, until recently, he is silent. He has shown us no videos. He has shown us no documents. He has no evidence of any witnesses. That tells me he either has no evidence or has told one big lie after the other. Considering it all, I suspect he has not an ounce of evidence, not one single paper, not even one single video. That tells me that he likely sets the congressional record for congressional whoppers.

Then, when he is censured, he reverts back to saying that Trump and republicans lied. Strange. I didn’t hear him say he had any proof.

Don’t think Schiff is going to get away with it. He will either pay for the lies in this life or the next. Better for him if God extracts the punishment while his heart still beats. Paying for it after will likely make him wish he hadn’t made the acquisitions. Forever is a long time to pay for a Whopper lie like his.

Will someone please take this man away. Even the dems should confront his lying. I would think that he is even starting to embarrass the dems. I mean, even they must realize that he has become an anchor weight to even the dems.

Policeman or Baby

Posted in Being woke, Crime, law enforcement by

Whenever I suggest to anyone that punishment should be greater for someone killing a policeman, I always get the question, why is a policeman’s life worth more than… say a six-month-old baby?

First, the question is a red heiring. The person asking it generally does not mean to challenge my idea based on logic but emotion. They don’t like the law. In some cases, they place little import on those that are recently born. They simply don’t like the idea of a law that protects police.

It does go far beyond that though. Someone shooting a policeman does not respect the law. The shooting of the officer proves it. They use an element of society that just loves to rebel against the law and the uniform represents the law. Let’s keep in mind, those officers really represent us. When they pour liquids on an officer, that is a visual display of their lack of respect of the law and us. It is open visual rebellion. And, when they shoot a policeman, that is the ultimate disrespect against us, the law and those who enforce it.

There is another aspect that many don’t think of. That baby is not intentionally putting his life in danger to protect society. Okay. I get it. The baby is incapable of such a thing and is considered the essence of innocents. However, that officer has taken an oath to protect people, especially such as the baby. Without the police, how would we be able to hold on to our property or our lives… or the lives of our children?

The especially good part about such a law is that it would act as an invisible shield. It is a good thing that the criminal think twice before shooting a policeman. It just might stop people from indiscriminately executing them. More important, with that invisible shield, he can do his job better, knowing that the criminal will be less likely to use his gun on a man wearing a badge. And, by the way, if the criminal is less likely to shoot, then the officer is less likely to have to shoot. So, it sort of helps the criminal too.

Two Lives

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Crazy Nuts, Drug Abuse by

Two young men. Maybe two young women. One has been killed by a bullet; the other by a drug sold by a drug dealer. Which one is more dead? Which death causes more grief. Which brother or sister will be missed the more.

Many call selling drugs a non-violent crime. I ask, what’s the difference between the bullet and the pill?

I get it. Guns are terrifying. While I was not one that ran through the rice paddies of S. Vietnam, I did carry an M16 with me everywhere I went for nearly a year. I did have to wear a flak jacket and helmet. I carried four magazines with twenty rounds each ready to use. I was aware that a bullet could have come out of the dark and end my life at just almost any time with no warning whatsoever. I did know some who took bullets while serving.

However, drugs, today cause far more death and sorrow daily in this country than all the guns. Truth be known, much of the death caused by guns is also caused by drug abuse. Those dealers must protect their territories.

Yet, Old Joe just never talks about drug abuse or the folks who sell the poison. Maybe it would be because he’d have to admit failure on the border, which by the way, is intentional. However, let just one person kill or harm another by gun, and immediately, he is in front of a camera and mic explaining how we must rid our country of those evil guns. Not a word about incarcerating those who use them.

An Experiment for the Brave Atheist

Posted in Christian values by

As I was sitting at Golden Corral this afternoon, getting ready to eat, a thought occurred to me. Maybe I just thought of it. Perhaps the thought was supernaturally planted in my mind. I don’t know. The thought was an experiment for atheist. I say atheist because, well, it just might work. I don’t know.

I say for the brave atheist because it just might work. The atheist just might come to the realization that God really does exist. Then, he will be forced into a decision he, or she would really prefer to ignore. It will take something of a little courage to take on my experiment.

However, if the atheist is right in his belief, then he has lost nothing. If he is firm in his belief and he is right, he can go on living as he has. On the other hand, if something happens that makes him doubt his religion in that there is no God; If, suddenly, he realizes that he has been wrong; then he must change his beliefs. He can still deny God, but he will have to accept that God really does exist. He will never again be an atheist.

The experiment is simple and takes just a few minutes a day. For one month, whenever you sit down to a meal, let’s say three times a day, you say this little prayer before eating, “Thank you, God for this food that you have provided. Please bless it to the nourishment of my body. Forgive me of my sins. In Jesus name; amen.”

I know it is ritualistic and God would rather the prayer be from your heart. However, it is something of a start. If you feel led to add to it, that’s fine with me. Just, please be respectful in any case.

Your comments are welcomed and encouraged. Perhaps some of my readers would like to see them too. As long as the comments are respectful and without profanity, I will allow them.

Oh. Just one more thing. Maybe you atheists are not the only ones who need to try this experiment. Maybe a few Christians need to try it, too. God does like it when we honestly express our appreciation for that which he has done for us. To be sure, I am guilty. For years, I took Him and what He did for me for granted. I’m doing a little better these days. Still, an hour or two after I had a nice big meal, I occasionally realize I did not voice my appreciation. I guess He knows I’m human. Still, if it’s important, I’ll remember it… and it is important to me.

A Little-Known Fact

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Christian values by

The phone company notified me that they will be giving money to the LGBTQ+ youth bunch. Moreover, they are encouraging me to do the same. Obviously, they don’t know me.

I am under contract restrictions so I will stay with the same company for a while, then no more. They didn’t see fit to ask me. They simply did it. I would suspect it is part of the new encouragement by Old Joe to get corporations to be friendly to social, environmental, and governmental ideas instead of just making money. I am sure the phone company is thinking they will come out ahead because of the better way they will be treated by Old Joe’s administration. However, their thinking is very short sighted and likely pretty dumb. You see; I suspect I am not the only one who does not believe in giving money to such things. I suspect that I will not be the only one jumping to another provider.

You see, they might be making Joe happy, but some of us don’t like things such as what the dems are pushing these days and calling sex ed. Moreover, Joe will not be around much longer. Even should he be re-elected, the man is getting old. As the Bible says, it is appointed to man once to die. (Hebrews 9:27) I certainly suspect his time is right around the corner. As it is said, he is living on borrowed time. And may I remind those from the phone outfit, they need to think of their mortality too. The same Bible passage also says that after that, the judgment.

Well, I’m sure the phone company will never miss those of us who leave because they decided to mix politics with business. Seems to me, the one guy said best. Republicans do buy tennis shoes too. I suppose that some phone company officials think republicans don’t use cell phones.
