Let This be a Lesson

If you are registered as a Republican and the dems are about to assume power, don’t go anywhere near D.C. For that matter you might want to steer clear of the states of NY & CA too.

Actually, if I were you, I’d avoid that whole red state thing. They all seem to have this thing against self defense. In St Louis, the couple was charged and they never shot anyone, or even shot any weapons. They just stood there in front of their homes, outnumber, may I remind you.

I am considering purchasing a baseball pitching machine, maybe two. I wonder how much a ball would hurt while traveling a hundred or so miles an hour.

I really should not write like that. They’ll outlaw pitching machines and the like.

Please Bring Back the Rubber Hose

Don’t get me wrong. The following is strictly for illustration. I have not nor do I have any plans to commit any crimes. How-some-ever, if I were ever taken in and accused of anything, I would much rather the police use the rubber hose on me than the threat of a higher penalty, especially the death penalty.

I mean if I have a choice between the threat of a few hours with a rubber hose, or the threat of the finality of death, I am choosing the rubber hose every time.

Having said this, this is a fact. If I am guilty, I will willingly and immediately admit it. If I am not guilty, there is nothing that you can do to me to make me say I am. If I am innocent I will go to the chair declaring it.

I understand. Agreements are made all the time. Without them, our justice system would quickly be bogged down. However, I’m not in favor of telling people to sign the confession while holding the figurative gun to their head.

Not only is it wrong, it might send innocent people to prison. Perhaps more important, it may let the guilty go free to commit more crimes.

Don’t know about you, but that thought really rubs me the wrong way. For that reason, I suggest bringing back the rubber hose.

Why I Don’t Like Income Tax

For sure I don’t like Uncle Sam using them to spy on what I do and they do. It is both individually and collectively.

I don’t like them using the taxes to control what I do. You don’t think they do, just think about making a one time total withdrawal from that million dollar 401k. I mean, we are talking big penalties and big income taxes. Oh, and by the way, why did you start the contributions to it in the first place? I am sure someone from your company had a little talk with you, but that talk originated in D.C., I assure you.

As much as I detest the above reasons, what I really find most aggravating is that, to make sure I get it right, I have to pay over a hundred dollars to a professional.

Even then, I generally, figuratively, hold my breath until I realize I won’t have to cough up a grand or two. It is highly probable that I will get everything back. Still, well I’m not telling you anything new.

Cost of Eggs

Over the radio, I heard a discussion over the cost of eggs. One said this and the other said that. Eventually a caller called in complaining of spending ten dollars for a dozen eggs. That’s nearly a dollar each.

I do hope they do resolve the problem soon. I do like my ham and cheese omelet now and again at Waffle House. Also, I am sure Waffle House does like my visits. It is something of a mutually beneficial relationship.

Nonetheless, while I was returning to my car the other evening, I realized someone found a solution. I heard the call of a rooster. Likely someone in the neighborhood was raising chickens.

It did bring to mind the possibility of complaints from the neighbors. Then I thought better of it. The neighbors are likely getting free eggs.

At the price of eggs, I could put up with a noisy rooster.

Snow and Ice

Ten inches snow. When I heard about it, I wanted to think of an angle on it. I mean it is winter. It is the season for snow. People have even written songs about. You’ve heard them. Snow Ride, White Christians, Baby, it’s Cold Outside, and on and on. You have heard them all.

It’s why they make snow plows, don’t you know? It’s why people have skis and sleds. Sometimes, I must resort to getting out a snow shovel to clear my driveway.

Wait a minute. Where did you say that snow is? It doesn’t snow there! It seldom even gets cold there. I know. It’s what my teacher told me in school and I know she wouldn’t lie to us.

But what will they do? How will the planes take off and land at the airport? Do the people there even have snow shovels? Do they know how to use them?

Well, I do guess it is weather change. Hot summers, cold winters. Sometimes, hotter. Sometimes colder. Being as I grew up in Southern California, I’m not so much of a fan of either. Although, like the rest of us, sometimes, I get a little surprised now and again.

Anybody Remember Ralph Story’s Los Angeles?

I haven’t a clue what made me think of it. I very fondly remember looking forward to seeing it. I do wish they would re-show the series; or at least, make it possible to buy them.

Ralph Story had a segment on CBS news about parts of LA little thought about but very interesting. I sincerely regret I had no means of recording the shows back then. However, apparently they have been archived and some people can access and study them. They are considered important reference material.

It would be nice to see the old shows as they document how LA used to be…before all the liberals destroyed it.

Ever Consider Doing Nothing

I have. I think it just might be difficult, in its own way. You’re on stage. The world famous actor, or maybe singer is in the spotlight saying or maybe singing his lines and your job at the time is to do nothing.

I think it is called supporting acting. Even if you are an important well known actor, sometimes, someone else must step into the spotlight and it is your turn to step back into the shadows.

Sometimes as I watch shows, especially when they are live and repeated day by day and for that little while, the success of the show desperately relies on you keeping your mouth shut and drawing little or no attention to yourself.

Sometimes, when I watch shows, I like watching the supporting actors, doing their job, doing nothing.

Those news readers never get it right

The difference is, now most of us know it.

Nonetheless, lets go over it to keep the misunderstanding down.

  1. There was no rioting on Jan 6. I didn’t see anyone rioting. Did anybody see any rioting. If you really truly saw any videos of real rioting, please let me know.
  2. The only one killed was a civilian lying down in a no threat position by a policeman. That video I did see many times.
  3. Some people did do damage, t admit. However, by now they paid for their crime in the 4 years since.
  4. There were FBI people in the crowd urging people in.
  5. A signal needs to be sent that our citizenry should never, ever be treated like that again… Ever.
  6. Many of those who were charged never entered the building, which makes them not guilty of any inference of any crimes, not even a minor one. Standing on unsecured ground outside is in no wise illegal.
  7. Finally, again I saw the video many times, Trump never even suggested that they should riot. The dems claimed he did and impeached him for it. They lied and knew they lied over and over. It was totally intentional, being as they too saw the same video I did.

I’m not sending money to LA fire victims

  1. Just today discovered it would cost me 10 K a month to put my wife in a nursing home. Decided I will hold off just as long as I can. I sure wish I had that 30 K Obama care took from me. It would only last three months, but I think I’d rather the nurses get it instead of the insurance companies.
  2. Considering where they live, they are likely much, much more better off than I am financially.
  3. If they are going to continually vote for dems, then they are only getting their education on voting habits. If we should help them rebuild we are just short circuiting their learning process. Even those few who voted Republican need to be more convincing to the neighbors or move to a red state. When CA has only dems living there, it just might speed up the leaning process. You might note some of the most avid anti-communists come out of pro communist nations. Learning firsthand always is most effective.
  4. If they don’t get help rebuilding, maybe, most possibly, they might not cut firefighting funds while Santa Ana winds are predicted in the near future.
  5. Finally, and most importantly, they just might be more willing to allow clear cutting of some of the dry brush, aka fuel for wild fires, especially near their homes, businesses and schools.

My guess is less than ten percent learned their lesson. If you’re a dem, you know why more than I do.
