An Improvement on a Good Idea

Posted in Biden, Border wall by

The governor of Florida suggested he might send some of the illegal aliens sent to Florida by Joe to Delaware. It does sound like a good idea, but why not let them off in the vicinity of The White House and Capital Building instead. Moreover, let’s start doing it from every red state. Maybe it would not get the desired results, but it would get someone’s attention. I doubt the mainstream media could overlook it.

I am sure in the long run, Joe would win out, but it would sure be a lot of bad publicity for him in the meantime. Besides, it just might expose his inability to think on his feet, or at all.

Law & Order

Posted in Biden, FOC, Kamala, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation by

Okay. I sort of borrowed from the TV show, that is the title. However, the title wasn’t all that original. It is an old phrase that has been used for a long time. Who knows? It might have even been used in England before the Pilgrims sat sail.

Regardless, it is an obvious fact that if there had been law & order that night when Rittenhouse took two lives, this trial would not have taken place. The only reason he was there was to help maintain law and order, the one thing that the police were prohibited to do.

If I may, let me suggest one more thing. Had Rittenhouse not been there; had he not shot anyone, I think it is highly probable that someone else might have been killed… perhaps some 4 or 5 year-old. On the other hand, the victim might have been a grandmother. Such things do happen when you let the riots rule instead of the law.

The truth of the matter is, those who are really guilty of the loss of life that night were the rioters. And, by the way, at least one of victims was a involved in the rioting. Indeed, it would appear he might have been one of the leaders.

The truth of the matter is, it is why we empower the police to act in our behalf, to maintain law and order. When you disable, you enable the criminals. When you enable the criminals, you are likely to see a few killings. It is sort of natural. The one thing follows the other. It is ludicrous to expect anything else.

Get a Horse!

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, FOC by

I guess I was in high school when I first heard the saying, maybe a little before. I was never really told what it means but I would guess it was a suggestion to replace the old unreliable jelopy with an old reliable horse.

These days the advice just might be more serious as well as more sound. Consider my situation. I have a fairly large yard, when considering front and back. The horse just might be able to live off my lawn. I don’t think I would need to buy much hay. Moreover, it is just a short distance to most of what I need.

Besides, I can get just about anything delivered to my front door. If I should need a car, one is just a phone call away. For the short trips, the horse would do. The hitch, if you’ll excuse my poor play on words, is that I don’t think they will let me keep a horse. They likely have ordances against such things, even I claim it’s a pet.

Things have changed. A hundred years ago,no problems. Come to think of it, I don’t think they will let a horse and buggy on the roads around here. Maybe I need to move.

The point is, if Biden has his way, a bunch of us will be getting horses. Incidentally, we will likely start cutting down trees too, to put in the wood stove that will replace our natural gas furnaces.

While Biden wants to go to solar batteries and wind mills, he just might drive us back into the Middle Ages. Then again, that just might be what he wants.

I’ll let you guess why. I will drop 1 hint. It would make it really easy for many countries, such as China or Russia to march in here and turn us into a colony.

Irregardless, as they like to say around these parts, I think I would like a pet house or two. I wonder if it would do any good to have a talk with the mayor.

The Meaning of Inflation

Posted in Biden, FOC by

Occasionally, we hear a financial report from the government and we pay little or no attention to it. We just received a report on inflation we should all pay close attention to.

Without getting specific to anyone`s bank account, let’s consider the account that had 100,000 dollars 12 months ago. Ignoring deposits and withdrawals, though the dollar amount will be nearly the same, it is as if Uncle Sam just reached down out of the sky and took 6,2000 dollas, without leaving a thing behind in return.

At the same time, you also took a 6% pay cut. I don’t know about y`ll but, if I got 5% raise, I thought I did well. With the inflation, it would be a 1.2% pay cut. As the saying goes, the harder you would work, the behinder you would get.

Biden says he is for the little guy, but the only guys that benefit from inflation are the outrageously rich. They make money faster than inflation can steal it. So far Biden has benefited only the rich. The rest of us will be taking it in the wallet.

When Is a skateboard a Club?

The short answer is, “When someone is beating someone over the head with it.”

Though the above should be casual to the most obvious observer, that stupid prosecutor in the Rittenhouse case clearly is unaware of this fact. Surely, if it was not covered in law school, he should be able to figure it out all by himself. Hence, my use of the adjective, stupid. He should have to have a sign with word on it hanging from his neck.

God warns us whoa to him who calls evil good and good evil. The prosecutor called self-defense murder. I think this somewhat meets the criteria. Moreover, it seems to be the practice of many prosecutors today to charge the innocent with crimes and let thieves and killers go free.

My biggest example is Fauci, who’s activities led to deaths of millions. Why is he not in jail while who knows how many innocent people people remain in prison for January 6. Where is their speedy trial guaranteed to them by the highest law of the land.

On the other hand, President Trump and many of his associates were prosecuted and impeached with bogus evidence by prosecutors, democrat representatives and a fake media, all of them on the rampage without rhythm or reason.

I Finally Figured it Out

I get it. I’ve finally figured it out. The wealthy are trying to drive down the value of beach front property so they can buy it up. While they say the seas are rising, they keep buying properties below the predicted sea levels.

Obama has two properties that will soon be under water should his prophecy come true.

Personally, I will not believe any of them until they start building seawalls. So far, I see no hint of that. On the contrary, they keep buying the low lying expensive real estate. It is certainly clear that these FOCs don’t believe what they preach.

A side note: Some of those who have low lying mansions, just might realize that walls really do work and they just might start on their own.

Air, Water, Food

Posted in FOC by

I’m not much of a survivalist. I do my hunting and fishing at the supermarket.

Actually, at one time, it wasn’t that difficult. Nowadays, we can buy our food at the market. It means we don’t have to plow, weed or water. It means we don’t have to go in search of animals and when we find one, we don’t have to hope he doesn’t get away. Neither do we need to raise cattle or sheep and hope they don’t get wiped out by weather, disease or wild animals. Moreover, we don’t have to butcher the animal, which is something I don’t know if I can even do.

On the other hand, we do have to pay for water. In the old days, we just went to the stream or well and scooped it up. There was no charge. Seems odd, nowadays, people actually pay for it in bottles. Even more, they usually imply that it comes from a clear mountain stream.

Nonetheless, air, water and food are still our basic essentials. If we have no food, we might live for a week or so. If we have no water, maybe three days, depending on the weather. Without air, we might survive a little more than a minute. Yet, we take all three elements for granted. For air, we need only to breath. Conceivably, we still might be able to go down to a stream. Most of us are as close as the nearest tap. As such, we generally are a little wasteful.

Food is entirely different. Unless we raise our own food, we must normally resort to going to the store. Hunting has become somewhat impractical. Even those who do hunt cannot support themselves on the legal limits put on us. There is no way a family can survive on a few fish, a couple of ducks and a deer all year. (I might not have that quite right, but you get the idea.)

Hence, things have changed. I wonder if there will ever come a day when we must buy our air and have it piped in, as we do water. There have been many who have gotten sick from bad quality air; some have died.

Since the 50’s the US has done wonders about decreasing smog. China and Russia, not so much. It only gets worse. Even so, we all breath the same air. If we don’t get on China’s case; and Russia’s, we just might have to all walk around with air tanks, no matter what we do to clean up our own air.

Could it be that the dems could have things turned around so badly. Maybe they pursue the wrong people, possibly on purpose.

I wonder just how much a few cubic square feet of high quality air cost.

I Am the Expert

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, FOC, Kamala, Socialists by

I know. There are those who doubt but let me explain the claim I have on my expertise. I once stopped in Hawaii on the way to Japan. That makes me an expert on Hawaii. I had a layover for 6 hours in New York City on the way to Syracuse. That makes me an expert on New York. I spent a couple of weeks in Atlanta. I am really and expert on that city. There are a number of other places I visited by landing and taking off from their airports. Now I am an expert on them all.

I know. You are having a hard time understanding that I am an expert on all those places because I spent a few hours there. If you have a hard time believing my expertise on these places, then why in the world would you believe that Kamala and Joe are experts about the border, given the time they spent there?

Seems to me that Joe never spent an hour there. Kamala believes her expertise is from a ‘near touch’.

The fact is, I am not an expert on any of the above and neither are Joe or Kamala. In fact, the two of them avoid the subject of the border like the plague. And why shouldn’t they. Every time they open their mouth on the subject, they only expose their ignorance.

Not Quite Right

Posted in Christian values, Religion by

I received a pamphlet the other day from a church, if I remember right was in Kentucky. It did attract my curiosity being as I live near Memphis. Nonetheless, I started reading it. I found a list of things they believe.

As I started out, it did seem reasonable. Then I arrived at the statement that said that we are saved and remain saved as long as we remain faithful to the end. At that point, I immediately threw the package away. I determined that it was all counterfeit, the church and the writing and likely their teaching.

I must admit that it does sound reasonable but God said there is a way that seems right to man but the end of it is destruction. (Loose quote. You are welcome to look it up. If you can’t, ask someone to help you.)

The problem is that the statement is simply not biblical. You can look it up for yourself. The fact is that when a person is saved, the Holy Spirit puts His seal on you and it cannot be removed by anyone but God and God will not remove it. He promises eternal salvation not salvation until you mess up. He takes on all your sins: Past, Present and future. He is well aware of all of them. He was well aware of them as he began to lay the foundations of the world. Not the least of them nor the greatest of them will surprise him at all.

Moreover, the god that is presented in the pamphlet is pretty mean. Can you imagine him saying to someone who was saved, Sorry. Can’t let you in. Five minutes before you died, you lost your salvation.”

The idea also assumes a person might be saved multiple times. If not, once a person lost his salvation, he would be forever lost. I don’t think my God is like that. My God saved me when I was 13 years of age and He will not lose his grip on me, though I live to 140. (or even a thousand and forty) He can do that. He promised that He will. It is but one reason why he deserves our faith, our love, our respect our thanks as well as our worship and our devotion. Why would anyone want to turn his back on a God such as that. Strange as it may seem, none lose their salvation, though they may lose the joy of their salvation. Moreover, for many reasons, he just might take such a person home early.

Oh. By the way, one more thing. God does not chastise those he has not saved, only those to whom he has given eternal life. If you can do things you know are sinful and not feel the rod of God, you just might not be among those He has saved. You might want to think about that.
