The Law of Exclusivity

Posted in Christian values, Truth by

I don’t know if it exist yet. If not it should. I am declaring it now. It is as obvious as gravity. I mean, how can something be both true and false at the same time. Besides, the sound of it has a certain ring to it.

The fact of it is that it rings true. If it’s a hot day, it can’t be cold. If it is clear and sunny, it can’t be raining, leastwise in the same place at the same time. If a thing is good, it can’t be evil. If you’re going west, you can’t be going east. Well, that one is open to discussion. That is what Columbus tried to do.

It does seem strange, but the world’s scientist were convinced that we were going through a process of global cooling. Then, after a few years, it was global warming. Then, unable to make up their minds, they decided it was climate change. That is where it is getting hot or cold, depending on the weather of the day and where you live. And, of course, woe to the scientist that says otherwise, you know. All must accept the “fact” that the weather is getting cooler and warmer all at the same time.

The Dems are good at getting something to be good or evil at the same time. If you ask any of the leaders, they will tell you of the evils of guns. On the other hand, if your name’s Hunter Biden, the current gun laws don’t apply to you. Makes me wonder if I should change my name to Hunter Biden.

I guess the one thing that mystifies me the most though, is the way the Dems defy any effort to bring God into our public life, especially schools and courts. According to them, there is no God, you know. And then, come a disaster, natural or man made, suddenly they are asking one and all to pray for those suffering from it.

It does somewhat confuse and irk me, they don’t want us to pray to prevent the disaster, but they love so much to encourage prayer for recovery.

The fact is, God either exists or he doesn’t. He is not something to be turned on and off based on convenience. The Law of Exclusivity demands, you either believe in Him or you don’t.

The best thing, make sure you have made the right decision before you die. If you realize the truth after, you will also realize it is too late. Today is the time of your salvation. Now is your chance at eternal life. If you don’t accept it while you yet live, then you will have eternal death.

That is a fact of exclusivity. You cannot be lost and saved at the same time. If you have not been saved, then you are lost. Certainly, if you deny God and his Son, Jesus Christ, then you have committed the greatest sin of all and you will pay for it forever.

Two Flags?

Posted in Uncategorized by

I have said more than once, a person is really only has an allegiance to one flag. That creep that used that car as a weapon in New Orleans had an allegiance to one flag and what it represented. For some reason he decided to act on that allegiance at that time in that place.

My best guess is, someone gave him the order and he obeyed. My best guess is that there are a lot more men in this country who owe their allegiance to other flags, to other countries. It’s time to brace ourselves. My best guess is there will be more… for which we can thank Old Joe. He invited them in by the thousands. My best guess is that that character that set that bomb in Los Vegas got his marching orders too. My best guess is that his allegiance is to some other country too. Old Joe made the decision. We will be the ones to pay the price.

Two Screens Are Better Than One

Posted in Uncategorized by

Just saw an article about an Acer laptop that had two screens built in. You open one screen then the other. Now that’s slick. I tried looking it up on the net and had no success. Maybe in a week or two. One thing I saw that was really neat is that the second screed could be displayed side by side, which I would really like. However, it also folded around to point 180 degrees away from you. That way, I could look a the main screen while my client or customer could look at a copy. Kind of saves looking over my shoulder, or me looking over their shoulder.

Then again, if you are looking to get friendly with the client….

They didn’t say a whole lot about it in the article, which is why I did a quick check on the web. I suspect we are talking at least 2K, maybe 3. For folks with businesses, likely well worth it.

 Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)

Posted in Being woke, Biden, Electric Automobiles, EVs, Going Green by

Since I bought my Nissan Ariya, I have been very pleased with it mostly other than trying to find a place to charge it. I could not understand that. I mean, if we are going to have all those ‘wonderful’ EV cars on the road by 2030, how are we going charge them without charging stations.

Even if we have chargers at home, there will have to have chargers for travelers. To be sure the Dems did pass a bill to have millions of chargers all over the country and we have, what? 47 new chargers from it.

Well, now that the curtains have been pushed aside and the failures of Old Joe are really coming to light. It would seem that government regulations have gotten in the way. What regs am I talking about. Look it up. In the law that sets aside the money for billions for the chargers also has DEI regulations. That’s right. Those that are going to get the grants must prove hiring practices that adhere to the regs. You want to set up some charger stations, you’re going to have to foot the bill yourself or be ready to fill out a bunch of paperwork proving that you adhere to hiring practices made by the Dems. It would appear that their own absurd regulations are acting like the shoestrings for them to trip over.

So that is why a Dem green law involving billions of dollars has fallen flat. My guess… it will take a businessman like Trump to make it work. He would likely pull all the dumb regulations out of the bill, that is, if the Dems will permit it.

Then maybe, I will be able to charge my Nissan Ariya while on the road. That is maybe. Just goes to show, the Dems can’t even do Going Green well.

Unique Idea

Posted in Cancel Culture, Elections, FOC, gun control, Lawyers and Representation, Our Legal Systems, Politcal Opinion by

For years, I have been writing posts suggesting that a good way to cut back on crime is to keep the criminals in prison.

Surprise. I just heard an official in Memphis suggest the same thing when he was addressing a problem with repeat offenders. Maybe he is a little slow on the uptake, but he just might have finally figured it out.

Now, he needs to spread the word to all the other cities. Rare as the idea is, it is a proven method.

Of course, it does have a downside for me. If the crime rate in Memphis goes down, it might not help my property values as much.

Save Us From the Experts

We all know the definition of the expert: someone who knows a whole lot about very little.

Throughout the pandemic, we were being given advice and direction by people who were called experts. Throughout the epidemic of AIDS we got advice and direction from the experts. In both cases, in every step along the way, they were wrong. Millions of lives were lost in both cases directly and indirectly as a result of following their guidance. In both cases, they are batting a thousand at being 100% wrong. They not only caused the death of millions but also about destroyed our economic system and our education system.

Now, with the bird flue, do we really want to follow their guidance again. Do we really want to put our lives in their hands. As for me, I don’t think so. It would appear to me that the experts are more dangerous than the diseases.

I Remember Well

Posted in Uncategorized by

They say don’t speak badly of the dead. Well, let’s see. The Dems speak badly of Jefferson, Washington, Gen. Lee, and a dozen others. They have destroyed statues that were made in their memory. If they can speak badly of those men, why can’t I speak badly of some, why can’t I?

Since Jimmy Carter died, I have heard over and over the good the man did, though even they admit they have to search high and low. Well, it did remind me of all what I remember. First, I was in the Marines when he became president. Most of us Marines had a saying. The marine emblem had been changed to just a globe and anchor. Carter was messing things up so much even the eagle was getting out. And, by the way, a lot of marines decided to get out because of the new Commander in Chief. I spoke to many of them. I can’t say specifically of any one thing but rather the whole atmosphere was changing when we got a Naval Chief of Operations with a name of Admiral Elmo Zumwalt. (and his actions matched his name. a real flower child of the age grown up)

Second, because of Carter’s weakness, Iran was turned over to a terrorist. We are still paying for that one. Remember the current efforts of Iran to build atom bombs. Remember, when we left Iraq, Iran took over and killed millions. (Obama had his part in that one.) Remember, when the new Iran regime took over, they also took over our embassy and took the staff hostage. Remember, after a great deal of planning and practicing, he arranged a hostage rescue attempt that was an embarrassment to him and the armed services of the US. Maybe he should have just arranged for the Israelis to do it and pay them.

Better yet, he could have just threatened to turn Israel loose on them. We would have had the hostages back in about 3 or 4 days.

Remember when he turned over the canal to Panama. Now that was dumb. When he started to do that, I remember thinking about it. That in itself was enough to activate the 26th amendment. It was crazy nuts. We spent a lot of money putting that canal in. We spent a lot of sweat putting that canal in there. We lost a lot of lives putting that canal in. And then President Carter hands it over and says, “Here you go. Here’s you a nice big present and it isn’t even Christmas.” And guess what? Now China controls it. Then to, it shouldn’t surprise anyone. The Dems care little or nothing about it.

Many speak of all he has done since his presidency. Okay. He built a lot of houses. That is nice. On the other hand, he has been very active in keeping abortion legal, frequent and at any time until birth. He claimed to be a Christian. I don’t know. God tells us not to be judgmental. If he was saved, my guess is that his ears will be burning for a while, considering the encouragement of the killing of the unborn. (Yep, if he is saved, he will still go to heaven, but he will have a lot of explaining to do.)

Well, truthfully, I will have some explaining to do too. But, at least it won’t involve the killing of millions of babies. The Dems like to point out all the Jews Hitler killed. And then they care not that the Dems have killed millions of babies.

If we want to put that on a set of scales, put the babies on one side, the houses on the other…. Do the houses really offset the lives of the babies.

However; as bad as he was, the Dems right now are far worse. I guess we can say that much for him, anyway.

How Much Money is Enough?

Posted in Uncategorized by

I guess one of the most repeated statements made by most of us is, “If I just had just …………. more dollars, I’d be able to…” Naturally, the amount varies as well as the goal.

It is one of the reasons the capitalist system works. We are always striving for that slightly bigger paycheck, or slightly bigger contract. It is why we work our fingers to the bones and a little bit more.

There was a famous person, can’t remember who, that said, “I don’t need much money. Just enough to pay for everything I need and everything I want.”

I guess one of my older brothers fit that after 65. He retired from the Army, a southern California school system and a big air conditioning company. He was drawing 3 retirement checks. He told me he wasn’t a millionaire but he almost lived like one.

He owed no one. When he wanted something, he just bought it. He didn’t buy any luxury cars or anything like that, but mostly he bought what he wanted. It does kind of describes the the desire of the guy above.

Nonetheless, I think most of us have that one thing we want that seems always just a little beyond their reach. Me, I always wanted a motor home. I just almost bought one one time. I could have but I think I would have regretted it. I wouldn’t have much left over for buying groceries.

Still, every now and then I regret that I didn’t do it. I mean, I have always enjoyed traveling. I was retired and had no bills.

I guess in my case, I would say, “It would have been nice to have about 50 grand to buy the RV and a few of the other incidentals. Maybe it would have been nice if it was 60 grand. That would have been enough for fuel for a year or so.

My wife used to like traveling too. Not so much anymore. I’m afraid we won’t be going much of anywhere now. Not unless we win the lottery, and as I have said before, that’s not going to happen, not even if I started buying the tickets. And I don’t plan on wasting my money on the tickets.

Most of those lotteries are state run and they already have gotten enough from me.

On the other hand, I suspect there are others folks out there that would have settled for less. Some, I’m afraid, would not have settled for a million more. It is sort of human nature. It seems we always want a little more.

How About Old Fashioned Sunlight

Posted in Advertising, Truth by

I keep seeing these commercials where people put domes on their heads with LEDs in them. I understand the logic but, even though I am 77, I still don’t need them. I guess I am fortunate that way.

However, I am really not that vain. Even though I have lost some hair, I am not that concerned. I would not get that upset if I lost it all.

However, I do understand. Some fellas start losing significant amounts of hair before their 40th birthday. Now that’s not fair. It does add years to your appearance. That can be verified with a wig in a few minutes. (with a mirror)

However, even if I was to lose my hair, even if I did want to try to get it back, even if I believed that those LED things worked, I think I would use another method.

You see, you take one of those LED things out in the full sunlight and turn it on and look at it, you probably would not be able to see if it is on or off. The intensity of the sun is so great that you can’t see the little bit of light coming from the LED’s.

So this is my idea. I would pull out all the LEDs, put holes where they were and let the sunlight through. If a little light is good, maybe a whole lot of light would be better.

However, why not go whole hog. Just forget the little dome lid, save some money and just go outside and expose my noggin to the solar system’s greatest source of light. If the little LEDs would work, the sun ought to really work, maybe overnight, or should I say, over day.
