The Smartest People in the World

Posted in Abuse of Power, Cheating, Lawyers and Representation, Politcal Opinion, Reporters, The Clintons by

You ever notice how the democrats claim to be so smart, indeed they claim to be the smartest people in the world. They want to run your lives because you lack the ability to make basic decisions.

Then, when you catch them with the goods, when you catch them with their hand in the till, when you catch them breaking the law, then they plead the Sgt Schultz defense…”I know nothing.” “I don’t recall.” “I didn’t know.” “You mean my son is a crook?”

Concerning the voter frauds. Biden asks, “What fraud? I don’t see any fraud. I won that election fair and square.” The truth he knows better. After all, he is one of the smartest men in the world. If he can’t figure it out, actually he’s pretty dumb. Over half the country figured it out. If he doesn’t know, that would put him in the lowest fifty-percentile in the country.

Of course if you find any of them next to a dead body, it is slightly different. They suddenly become blind. “What dead body. I don’t see a dead body. Do you see a dead body? I can’t imagine how that got there.”

Some may say they are not responsible for any deaths. To those, I suggest you get your vision checked. Obama let over a million die. Ms. Clinton let at least four die, I would suspect more. The governor of New York State let thousands die in nursing homes. Not one of them will own up to it. Not one of them feels the least of a twinge of guilt. Instead, they ask, “What dead bodies? Does anyone see any dead bodies?”

The Perfect Husband

Posted in Abuse of Power by

There is an old story, which I have heard half a dozen times from various sources. Though it isn’t true, it certainly represents truth in a number of ways. Certainly, I wish I could get a few million to read it, so if you want, please pass it on multiple times.

It is said that a woman spends years seeking out the perfect husband. When she finds and marrys him, the first thing she does is start changing him. Then, after a few years, she complains that he is no longer the man she married.

To be sure, the story does have direct application, though it is not always true. Some women are unable to change their husbands. A few women are smart enough to be happy with the husband they have. Then there are a few women who are never happy, no matter how perfect the husband is.

Okay. I am having a little fun. There is no such thing as a perfect husband. Still, there are some a lot closer than others.

The point is this. I would hope that after the dems go running into the perfect states (Texas, Tennessee, Florida, etc.) they won’t start trying to change them. The truth is that California used to be a near perfect state. I know. I lived there. It voted Reagan to governor twice. It used to have the best education system in the states.

They did have a few flaws. They voted moonbeam into the governorship twice. I have no idea how that happened. All those folks rushing in from other states and from south of the border have destroyed it, while trying to make it perfect.

It was the democrats that did it for the purpose of taking power. It used to be that people were rushing in. Now they are rushing out. Even the billionaire car maker has fled the state, and he’s a big liberal. Hope he doesn’t start turning Texas blue. We don’t need that. Texas does not need that. and, of course, the country does not need that.

Then again, I guess it doesn’t matter. The dems have perfected their voting methods. They may soon control all three branches of government completely. At that point, they won’t destroy just Texas but the whole country. Then, the ‘wife’ will no longer have the perfect husband, but also she won’t have anywhere to find another.

A Matter of Fear

Posted in Fear by

Color me confused.

I looked around and I saw very few republicans fighting for our president. I didn’t know why. Then the cases started going to the courts. One by one they were turned down, not for the merits but for details. In one case the court turns down the case because the law was not yet broken. Then, later the same court turns down the case because they waited too long, same court – same case. Go figure.

Then, things started going to the Supreme Court. I figured surely that they would take a case or two, but they don’t. Again, the president doesn’t lose for lack of proof, but because of some detail. For the case Texas took before the court, they said they had no standing. Could it be that even the Supreme court was going to be a stickler for details? Besides, near as I could tell they had standing. Looked to me that they were afraid. It looked to me as if someone was holding a gun on each of them.

As I thought it over, I realized the whole country seemed to break out in the yellow stripes. I couldn’t figure out why. Just what is it that has caused so many to break out in to utter fear. No court wants to take any case. No court wants to rule in the president’s favor, though there is more than adequate proof. The truth be told, so far no court has even ruled on the proof. It seems everyone is afraid to.

Something seems to have several governors and secretaries of state scared stiff. The Georgia Secretary of State seems terrified. Every time someone asks to see the signatures on the mail in votes, without hesitation, he says, “Nope. Can’t do that.” What is he afraid that we might see? What is he hiding?

Then it dawned on me just what the was the source fear. I realized why everyone runs for the hills whenever someone suggests fraud. It is simple. No one, but no one wants to be convicted of being politically incorrect. They could be a case in court but in the court of public opinion….

They all know that the instant they provide any help for the president, they will be branded as a racist, a homophobe, a misogynist, or any one of a half dozen other labels they like to hang around the neck of a person who the left disagrees with.

It is a true reason for fear. If they brand you, it doesn’t just follow you to your grave but well beyond. It is a stench that is quite impossible to rid yourself of and nowadays everyone avoids the labels like the plague.

The left likes to compare the conservatives to the Nazis, the ones who wore the boots and khaki uniforms. Well, the left does not wear the boots or khaki uniforms, but they use the exact same tactics. Indeed, the Nazis could take a few lessons from those on the left. They seek to control what we do, what we say and oh yes, the way we vote. They strike fear into the heart of any man, woman or child who dares says or does anything politically incorrect. If they persist, they ruin their lives and the lives of those around them.

‘Global warming,’ ‘abortion rights,’ ‘Black Lives Matter, etc are all simple covers for communists movements.

I too have some fear. I’m not sure, but I am afraid that it is too late to do anything about it. It has all just swept under us all quietly and quickly in just a few short decades. As Lincoln said, our destruction is from within and it will be complete.

The Light At the End of the Tunnel

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Vaccine by

It would appear that the light at the end of the tunnel was daylight, which is a vaccination. That light was not only provided by President Trump, but he also shortened the tunnel. Instead of the tunnel being five years, as usual, it was but seven months.

This will save lives. This will help the economy. This will help thousands go back to work over four years earlier.

Dozens mocked him for saying it would arrive. Impossible they said. It can’t be done said others. Now, guess what? It’s here. Other than a few people on a couple of news programs, I have not heard anyone praise him for it. Seldom do you hear anyone voice their thanks. Still, there are those that mock and ridicule him.

I suppose, if it comes right down to it, I think it would kill all those naysayers to admit they were wrong and apologize. That would tear at their very souls to admit to their error. It is their pride that stands in their way.

And, of course, even if the vaccine saves their mother or father, they would never ever say thank you, even in private. What does that say about them? Maybe, just maybe they are far worse than what they called President Trump. If they got themselves a good mirror, they’d see that, that is, if they could stand to look at their reflections.

By the way, the president also has likely saved millions of lives in the future. Henceforth, if we need a vaccine, seven months will be the new norm, instead of five years.

Wendy’s, Are You Listening?

Posted in Advertising by

I suspect not. It think it would be more likely that Dave would hear me than the staff he left behind.

Just the same, if you are listening, you just lost a customer. I just finished a game of Free Cell and clicked on ‘New Game.’ Almost instantly, without warning, I heard this loud voice accompanying a Wendy’s add. I jumped three or four inches out of my seat. Once I recovered, I muted the sound and waited until the add was done. Learning my lesson, I think I shall mute the sound before clicking on new game again. That really was quite a start and it didn’t do my ears any good either.

Anyone else listening, you might take this as a warning. You pull this one on me and I won’t be your customer either. I will also have a tendency to speak badly of you as well. Maybe it won’t make any measurable difference but I think Dave would be ashamed of this add, especially if it happened to him in his later years.

Shame on you for scaring a man out of two years of his life, especially as I have so few left.

Some Folks Just Can’t Run an Election

Posted in Abuse of Power, Elections by

It would appear that the Georgia secretary of state doesn’t know how to run an election. Actually, that fella in Pennsylvania doesn’t understand how either. We here in Mississippi might not know a few of those fancy things those boys in Georgia can do, but our election went off without a hitch. Most of the results were in by midnight. That fella in Georgia counted the votes three times and still got it wrong.

I’m sure if y’ll in Georgia need help, our secretary of state can teach ya. That goes for all y’ll up north like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin too.

By the way, Alabama got it right the first time too. I’m not sure when they were done, but my guess is you fellas were only about half done with your first count.

Well, I must admit, y’ll did have problems with that ‘water main.’ Glad to hear no one drowned. Still, that slowed you but a couple of hours. From what I understand, no one needed any boats after the minor flood.

Also, of course, y’ll have such massive populations. All y’ll had a lot more voters than Mississippi. I know how that works. You have twice the voters so it takes four times longer. I think all those fancy mathematicians call that exponential or something like that.

However, if that’s true, how did Florida get done so fast. And by the way, no one doubts their outcome. And, oh yes. Texas got done in a hurry too. No doubts about their results, either.

On the other hand, from what I understand New York is still counting votes. It seems every time they get done, they find another dozen ballots. California really isn’t doing much better, though I do think most of their races are settled. Then, mostly it doesn’t matter in most of those races who wins. With just a few exceptions, no matter who wins it’s a democrat… or might as well be.

I simply don’t understand it. How is it that a man with a college degree can’t run a fair & equitable election that people can trust. The truth be known, I don’t think any of them wanted to. If they did, Trump would have won and they didn’t want that. They wanted to put their fingers on the scale enough to put Biden in. Their plot just might have backfired in their faces. At this point, I doubt anyone with a brain would ever trust them to run a state fair. Come to think of it, it is probably easier to run an election than a state fair.

The Night of Destruction

Posted in Elections by

It is plain to see. Even if there was no fraud, there was a heavy appearance of it. I heard one report that over 80% of the people believed there was fraud. I don’t know but I would suspect, truth known, it is more like 90%. I mean it is pretty obvious.

The election was stolen. However, it is far worse. In just one night, the democrats have managed to destroy all our faith in our electoral system. That is sad. It will take a long time to rebuild, if ever.

The Inexact Art of Advertising

Posted in Advertising by

I am told that these advertisers on the Web have a way of knowing just what a person might be interested in. As such, they only send ads that might interest me. If that is the way it is supposed to work, it has failed on me. Not only do I have little interest in any of it, my purchasing power is pretty weak. I don’t buy things unless I need to. Occasionally, I do buy things that I want, but that rarely coincides with anything advertised, on the Net or TV.

They keep advertising these games. Other than chess and solitaire, I don’t play games on my computer. I prefer to use it in more productive endeavors. If Microsoft keeps trying to take control of my computer, I just might break out my Atari and put it it work. Oddly it seemed to be able to do most of what I needed and then some. Moreover, I didn’t need to worry about the Chinese or Ruskies trying to look over my shoulder to see what I’m doing… Not that it would do them any good anyway.

I record the programs on TV that I want to see and I have become expert at at fast forwarding. I can watch an hour show in roughly 40 minutes. I know. The advertisers pay a lot of money to put those shows on and I should watch the ads. I don’t see the point it though. They are advertising things I don’t need or want. What good would it do them if I do watch their ads. I have two computers and, truth be told, I don’t need either of them. I can’t buy any new cars. The old 2008 model I have will likely be the last I’ll ever buy, unless it breaks. There is certainly no way I would ever be able to buy a ‘his and hers’ pickup. It would be ridiculous anyway. I only drive but about 60 miles a week anyway.

In my last post, I already mentioned the Medicare garbage they uselessly throw my way. I already have all mine settled. Between Medicare and our aux. insurance, I’ve hardly paid a dime on medical. Considering I’m 73, that’s not too bad.

The ones that really get me are those ads for AARP. They came out in strong support of Obama care and I will never forgive them for that. When I talked to my insurance agent, I told him I wanted nothing to do with any policy that had to do with AARP. He laughed and said it was kind of going around. I suspect that AARP may rue the day they made that choice. Then again, given their politics, they just may not care. (Also, my best guess is that Obama offered a little persuasion.)

Now, let’s see. There is that company that advertises those shipments of meat. Sorry guys. You’ll not get any orders from me. Kroger or Walmart is good enough for me– and I don’t have to wait for it.

As you can imagine, I can go on and on.

Funny… After playing a game of solitaire the other day, I noticed a web ad that said something to the effect that Ford, F150s are less expensive than I think. Okay. It doesn’t hurt to look. Fine. I clicked on it. It took me to a page that had virtually nothing on it except a button with the word ‘go’ on it. That took me to a page advertising Chevrolet pickups. Now I wonder how that happened. Anyway, I have no interest at all in pricing Chevrolets so I immediately left the site and went in and watched advertisements on the TV.

Medicare Season

Posted in Advertising, Deceit, TV Advertisements by

Medicare season is over, I think. During certain times, people on Medicare can make changes. Apparently, every insurance company in the states knows that. Also, they apparently know those who are on Medicare. I generally get a phone call every other day, sometimes two in one day. They all want to tell me how good their system is compared the rest. Sometimes, they don’t do this so well. For them, English is obviously their second or maybe third language.

I would hope no one in their right mind would discuss their medicare with someone who barely understands English. The other day, I had some sinus problems so I took some antihistamines, put my phone on the charger and went to sleep. I was just about dreaming really nice dreams when my phone started making noises. I jumped up, ran to the other room, picked up the phone and said, “Hello.” Afterward, a woman started her spill about her Medicare system. If you think I kept my cool after that, you don’t know me. Then I spent the next half hour going back to sleep. By the way, dreams don’t work like video machines. Not only was I not able to pick up where I left off, I had no dreams at all.

The irritating thing is, I pay for my phone. The advertisers don’t pay one dime to use my phone and yet they get full use of it. To be sure they advertise about their wonderful plans on TV. Through November and half way through December, all station breaks have Medicare ads, sometimes two. On occasions, I’ve seen the same ad twice in a row. Well, at least that is on them. They pay the bill, every bit of it. Do they help me pay for my phone? Forget it.

Then, of course there are the flyers that come in the mail. It ought to be illegal to make a flyer look like official mail. I have to scrutinize each and every one before I toss it. I have a fear the one I toss just might be real. That’s just not right. They do it on purpose. Everyone of the flyers look official as can be. If I were to respond to one, I would not chose any of those who are trying to deceive me.

I think maybe that I will put a special ring on my cell phone for those I want to speak to. The rest can just sit there and let it ring. After a while they just might get the hint. But then I am something of a realist. I’m not holding out much hope.

Purgatory

Posted in Christian values, Religion by

Today, I received a pamphlet in the mail from Catholics. I do not know if it was a church or just an organization. Nonetheless, I noticed that the pamphlet had a paragraph on purgatory. It surprised me because I thought they gave up on that hoax. The scam had been uncovered ever since Bibles were readily available and people could read the scripture for themselves.

Nonetheless, this is the hoax. When a person dies, they go to purgatory during which time they pay for all the wrong they did. If someone, usually a relative provided things of value to the church, then it could be used to lessen the time the person spends in purgatory. Hence, wealth was used to help relatives into heaven.

There is one thing that the wealth accomplishes to this day. It makes the Catholic church rich. It was the whole purpose of the hoax. The Catholic church needed money. So, one of the clerics came up with this idea.

Firstly, there was no talk of purgatory until centuries after Jesus’ resurrection.

Second, if you have a word processor and you were to load the entire Bible into it; then did a word search on purgatory, you would not find it. It is not there. There is nothing there that resembles it. Certainly, Jesus did not use the term. He used the term hell and He used the term Heaven. On at least one occasion, He used the term paradise, but not purgatory. If there were such a place, don’t you think He would have said something about it?

Third, Jesus made it quite clear. There are those who will go to heaven and there are those who will go to hell. There was no mention of purgatory.

Finally, a word about wealth. No one, but no one can purchase salvation. If there was a purgatory, God would not want anyone’s wealth. If God wanted it, he could make more wealth than what is on earth. However, wealth serves Him no purpose. For what is He going to use it?

Moreover, if you stack all your good works on top of each other, it would not begin to reach to heaven for just one person. God is not impressed by anything you do in your pride. The only thing he respects are the things you do in the name of Jesus. That which is done without faith in Jesus is as filthy rags.

It is one of the biggest lies that Satan teaches, that we can impress God with what we do with our hands or what we give him without faith. Certainly faith in the Catholic church will gain you nothing. On the contrary. In God’s eyes it is idolatry. God’s word should be the foundation for our faith, not some edict from Rome.
