Last Two

Late each night when I went home from work, I passed a real estate office. The owner(s) liked to post little quips, which I must admit I enjoyed reading.

One of them said, “Why didn’t Noah swat those last two when he had the chance.”

I suppose one may fill in the missing frustration. Perhaps, it might be the fly. That would be the pest most picnickers would suggest; or would it be the ants. I think the mosquito would have my vote. While in Nam, they used to bite my feet while I tried to sleep. Hence, I woke with itchy feet. As small as their little brains were, they seemed to realize that I really had to reach for my feet. By the time I did, they were alerted and gone.

In the end, I put my mosquito net up and it was the end to it while sleeping. While out and about, they still dive-bombed me regularly, as well as most of us.

Naturally, those of us with homes built of wood live in fear of termites. It is amazing how those little pests can do so much damage in so little time.

Maybe you have your own choice. Regardless, many of these insects do more than bug us. While in Nam, they made us take a quinine based drugs to prevent us from contracting a very deadly disease. Much of Africa was under attack by the sleeping sickness spread by the Tsetse fly. Memphis was almost turned into a big ghost town by yellow fever, spread by mosquitos. Then, of course. We can’t overlook Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease spread by ticks.

It does make one want go back a few years before Noah, like before Adam ate the fruit. Before the fall, I’m sure Adam never felt the bite of an insect.

Hence, you just might want to remember, sometimes, seemingly small things can have devastating, long lasting results.

Afterthought: those who take salvation so lightly just might want to look at it more seriously. Forever never ends and insects will be the least concern of any of those who reject the the gift of eternal life.

You Ever Wonder?

Joe, as far as I know, spent his entire life working for Uncle. You ever wonder where he got the money to buy his 2 big houses, at least one of which is on the beach? You ever wonder just how much he paid for them?

One thing I know. If all I made was senator’s pay, I’d not have been able to buy them. If I made twice senator’s pay, I’d not be able to buy them and buy groceries too.

Think about about it.

Wrong Question

I keep hearing the question, “Should we keep giving billions to Ukraine given that it might lead to WWIII?”

To me, it’s not even close to the right question. All we need to do is drive the price of oil down to $40 a barrel and Russia would have to withdraw. Putin would quickly run out of money. If we could drive the world price down to $20, as President Trump did, we just might see Putin looking for a new job.

Then, of course, the dems would not like that.

New Take on F.W.I.T.I.W.

Hope you don’t mind me using the abrieviation. I didn’t want my title to be to long. You see, I repaired electronic equipment for over 20 years and some problems were simply impossible. That was when I adopted the philosophy, Fiddle With It Till It Works. Oddly, most of the time works… or they sent someone else in to repaired the problem.

Well, I figured that Joe decided to use the same methods. Only he got it backwards. He’s fiddled everything till it’s all broken.

I might mention one more thing. I had good knowledge of electronics. Joe has not any idea of just how much he messed things up from sea to shining seas and well beyond.

Maybe It’d Not Be So Bad

The dems are complaining about the House investing the FBI’s investigations. Might be a good thing. Some of them should never have started. The first thing the next Republican president should do is to fire all the top leaders in many of departments, especially the FBI & IRS. No need for investigations, just pink slips.

A Horrible Thought

I did not watch the state of the union. I figured why listen to a bunch of lies. Because I didn’t watch it, I figured I’m hardly qualified to make any remarks about what was said.

However it did hear Bernie Sanders was the only one who wore a mask. Then, I had a thought, a really horrible thought. Could it be that all of them caught the China virus? Most of those who were there are old. Many, maybe all the unmasked could die. Then we would be left with no one but Sanders.

Fortunately, in the real world, masks don’t actually make any difference. Right. Right? Right?? Please tell me I’m right.

I did say it’s a horrible thought.

Who Bought the Paintings?

To be sure, there are likely a few ways to determine who bought the paintings that were painted by Joe’s son. It could be a long tedious task. After all, Joe isn’t so much a good public servant, but he does know how to cover his sins.

You find out who initially laid the money down at the auction. Then, regardless of who does what with the so-called art works, there is likely a stack or two or three of money, may gold, maybe bit coin coming from others: the real sources of the bribes. These might be, but not limited to the communists, the Chicoms, the going green outfits and particularly those who build electric cars.

On the other hand, we could just ask Joe. He knows. It just is; he’s not going to say. However, it’s still simple. Just look at who is receiving the checks. I mean that is sort-of the object of the bribe. Also, you notice how quickly the crude oil spigots were shut down and the border was open. Do you suppose the cartels had something to do with the so-called purchase of the so-called art.

As the aside for today: I wonder just how many of those grand works are being displayed on a wall in some millionaire’s home and how many have found their way to the local garbage heap. Can you imagine some pennyless bum pulling out a half million painting… then learning it’s not worth a cup of capuchino. Then to, I suppose some could have been gifted the fabulous works of art. I mean it isn’t everyone who can claim they have a painting worth 500 grand hanging on their living room wall.

The Tragedy of Bribes

I wish I could remember Bible verses some do but even when I practice repeatedly, my memory fails me. At any rate, after reading the Bible a number of times, I still don’t remember much of it. Hence, when it came to mind that I came across several passages concerning bribery, I did a web search on bribery. Quickly, 27 verses popped up, which is more than I remembered.

As to why I did the search, it just is that I have noted a few, well, my first thought was to say ingenious ways to accomplish bribery. However, it’s just simple methods to bypass the law and appearances.

In the past the government officials wrote worthless books and the bribe was in the form of book sales. Then, the worthless books get stacked in some big warehouse and no one ever reads them.

Biden has essentially used the same method but for two twists. First, his son does all the selling. Second, it’s ridiculous paintings instead of books. Whoever purchased those paintings paid the bribes and Joe did their wishes, all of them. I’m sure they got all they paid for. I’m also sure the FOCs will do all they can to keep the public from finding out the source of the bribery.

Now, as for the verses. You can look them up yourself. That way you’re less likely to doubt what I say. Just Google Bible verses with bribe.

The one verse that seems especially apropos was prov. 29:4. Joe is sure doing what he can to destroy the USA. Regardless, Joe ought to read the verses. That way he’ll have a good idea of what is in his future… and those who take part in the corruption.

Latest With Kamala

Can you believe the latest about Kamala? Effectively, The New York Times is pitching her off the proverbial locomotive. Or maybe you prefer to use the “under the bus,” term. I just found out this morning. It would seem they no longer believe the woman, whom they used to idolize, is anywhere near able to perform presidential tasks. Moreover, if she had to run for a disabled Joe, she would likely fall flat on her face. (Let me clarify, figuratively lest the dems misunderstand my text.)

My guess is there will be a scramble for a replacement. Naturally, she will have to be a black, or at least half back woman, or perhaps someone, woman or man identifying as female. I mean, if a man can identify as a woman at pull side, why not at an election.

And, oh yes, I guess he, she, it could also have fair skin and blonde hair. I mean, what real difference does that make. It does seem to work for some getting into college.

Wonderful, Wonderful Gold

If gold is such a wonderful investment, why is the man who created Microsoft investing his billions in farm land.

Maybe he has some gold stashed away but think of it. No thief can walk off with a few acres of corn producing land. As long as he pays taxes, he makes money from the corn and realizes a healthy return on the increase in the value of the land.

Moreover, if some really bad disaster comes along, the gold could become worthless. Land, and the food grown on it, will always have value.
