Gung Ho

Posted in Abuse of Power, Bribes, Elections, FOC, Politcal Opinion by

Many, perhaps most do not know the meaning of the above term. Even less know the origin. Let me explain. Lt. Col. Evans Carlson borrowed the term from the Chinese in 1937. It literally means, work together. It wasn’t long before the term was adapted throughout the Marines and it was drilled into our minds during all my basic training.

During much of the war in the Pacific theater, it was a battle cry. The leader would yell, “Gung ho!” and the men would call back as loud as they could, “Gung ho!” It was the constant reminder that, that which cannot be done by the individual can and will be done by the team. As everyone did what they could, and a little more, it resulted in the accomplishment of the impossible.

Now, just what in the world brought this subject up, may I ask? Well, I was watching football. It helps me sleep. In this case, it was quite successful. I really had no interest in either Buffalo or Denver. However, by chance, I happened to wake just before Buffalo’s last score, which put them up by one point.

Then, as if on script, Denver started marching down the field. I must say, it seemed that Buffalo seemed to want to help them. Regardless, without putting all my readers to sleep, it all seemed to end with a missed field goal with only seconds left. It appeared that Buffalo had held and won by one point.

But wait a minute. As those who saw the game or heard about it, it seems that Buffalo had an extra man on the field. I guess he figured he could get away with it by acting innocent. He didn’t. The yellow flag came out and after a short time, it was announced to one and all, all over the planet, that there was a penalty against Buffalo for too many men on the field. The TV announcers confirmed it by counting them and using his illustrator to circle each as he counted.

And so it was that Denver got another chance at the field goal, which they made.

Now this is all interesting, but what does the one thing have to do with the other?

Well, the assumption is, and most people would say, that whoever it was that was not supposed to be on that field cost Buffalo the game. To be sure, it is partly true, but mostly false. If all we look at is that short time frame, it would be true. However, that game was not lost on that one play. Where they really lost it was as team when they failed to stop Denver from advancing. THAT… was a team effort and they failed not as individuals but as a team. There was plenty of blame to go around. Buffalo did not lose that game because of the one play and certainly not because of that one man.

If they had won, they would have won as a team. When they lost they lost, they lost as a team. They worked together, but apparently just not quite hard enough. Still, I would not have liked to be that 12th man in the locker room.

As I have mentioned many times before. It is why I joined the Marines. If I was going to be in a fox hole, I would want that other guy with me to have the best training in the world. And, by the way, I would not want to be sharing that fox hole with a woman. Better to have a man who, if need be, will be able to carry me to a point where I can receive treatment.

When this nation was in it’s infancy, we did have the desire to work together, to do more than our share. Somewhere, we have lost that. Now, many have decided to hold their hands out instead. Many seek the freebees and the government has decided to provide it, in exchange for a vote.

Now. Gung ho has just become another foreign word, which few know about. This nation will either continue to succeed together, or it will fail miserably as individuals. Incidentally such as bribes and crooked elections work contrary to working together.

A Little Disappointed

Posted in Abuse of Power, Being woke, Deceit, FOC, Left Turns by

I would have thought a state with a firmly Republican government would be more likely to treat a leftist killer the same as one from the right. Color me disappointed. It appears the only reason they have withheld the recent killer’s writings is because she was a leftest, not someone from the right.

It somewhat destroys their stereotype.

Can someone please tell me why Tennessee law enforcement suddenly want to make a fast left turn?

The Impossible Dream

Other than being the title of a really nice song from “Man From La Mancha,” it is the dream of those who would like to form the idealistic world of communism. It doesn’t work. It is a desire with no destination. It can never be realized this side of reality.

Long before Karl Marx, Stalin or Mao, the attempts were made. They didn’t call it communism but it was the same. It was tried by the Pilgrims and they would have died if they hadn’t been rescued by the Indians. It was tried by a little city, I don’t remember the name of it, but it was up north somewhere near the center of the country. It didn’t work there either. For a while the city grew and flourished. Then, almost as quickly, it was abandoned. People always flee communism when they realize it’s weaknesses.

It is not my purpose to try to explain why it won’t work. I suspect that would fall on deaf ears anyway. My point is this. Those dems are trying to sell a pig in a poke. They are trying to sell you something they do not plan to deliver. Stalin, Mao, Castro, and all the rest promised communism. However, none, no, not one of them succeeded. The USSR never had so much as one day of communism, but rather a dictatorship. China today is under the strong arm of something, I know not what. however, it is not communism. If it were, everyone would live equally and I assure you the leaders are far more equal than the farmers. If you go to Castro’s Cuba, you will not find any equality. The leaders live like kings. The rest pick out a living as best they can.

The dems stand at their stages and they tell you how wonderful the world will be when they rule the world. However, I assure you, if they ever rule the world, it will turn out like Russia, like China, like Cuba. It will be like East Germany used to be. It will be a place to flee at all cost, as many East Germans did; as many Cubans did; as many Chinese do today. However, there will be a big problem. If they rule the USA, there will be no where to flee to. There will be nowhere to go to escape from the bondage they impose.

The truth is that it’s not communism they seek, but control. They want total, ultimate control over what you do, what you say and yes, even what you think. Control is what they want. Communism is only the carrot they dangle in front of you to get that control. Once they have control, they will also remove the carrot. Moreover, I assure you they will not relinquish that control easily.

You think you still have a choice. Actually you do, but not for long. If the dems win the next presidential election, it’s over. There will be nothing anyone, that is to say, anyone by God will be able to do. It is time to stop taking freedom for granted and start fighting for the 10 Amendments instead of against them. It is time to start fighting for the constitution instead of it’s destruction. There will be no backspace keys or delete keys. you decision will be final. They have their religion,one they made up. I assure you they will not allow any other.

And, of course, it is time for you to start encouraging your neighbors and friends to do the same. Remember, communism is not their goal. It is simply the means to their goal, utter control.

What Would You Expect?

If IDF troups were to withdraw: if the Israeli air force stopped bombing; if the Israelis artillery were quieted, what would you expect from Hamas?

Would they cease the rockets, from the north as well as the south? Would they stop their assaults and killing. Is there any hope that they would return the hostages.

My guess is that they will remain true to their long time goal, to drive all Jews into the sea. That done, they would turn on us. It is what they claim they are devoted to. Maybe we should believe them. I am sure they already have a small army inside the US. We have Old Joe’s border policies to thank for that.

I’m sure our military could stop them. However, two questions come to mind. How much blood would be spilled and would Old Joe actually give the necessary orders?

I wonder if this might be why there is no mention of the US in the Bible.

As Difficult as It May Be To Believe

Posted in Abuse of Power, News media, Social Media, TV Advertisements by

I turned the news on this morning. Strange as it seems, I do like to see what is going on around me in this world. Then, of all things, I was treated to 30 minutes about Matthew Perry, 10 minutes of weather and 10 minutes sports… that was slipped in between all the many commercials. And incidentally, somehow they did manage to have a few minutes of news.

As difficult as it may be to believe, Matthew Perry was not a head of state or even the head of a major business. I can’t think of one really important thing he did. He was an actor, a person who pretended to be someone else.

I never saw him before all the “news” about him. …sorry, not impressed. Be that as it may, I don’t think any actor deserves that much attention.

I suspect that it is but one reason our nation is having problems as we do. It would seem our media has decided to report just about anything but the news, especially when they feel they have something else more “important” to report on. It is keeping the public ignorant of current events.

I’m not sure which is worse…no news or twisted news. At this point, I am convinced it’s all we can expect.

Religious Liberty

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Christian values by

When this country was founded, right in the first amendment, we find one of the cornerstones of our freedom, freedom of religion. Some might find this odd, but Christian laws were made and enforced on day one. Many states required a man to be Christian to hold major political office.

Over the years, decades even, this has been changed. Indeed, it is getting more and more difficult for a Christian person to hold any major office. Worse yet, there are those who call themselves Christian who aren’t. In a way, they seek both the religious and non-religious vote at the same time. I have seen men claim that they are Christian while standing for many things that are obviously aren’t.

Then too, one would expect a Christian to be at least reasonably honest. I guess that is why many men who are Christians left the dems. More and more they are expected to lie and toe the line of the democrats.

Old Joe claims to be Catholic. Right now, he is not in good standing with the Catholic Church. More than that, I have never heard the man really proclaim to be Christian. Indeed, it is truly possible to be Catholic and not Christian. At first this might seem like a radical idea, but stop and think of all that the Catholics have done and taught over the millenniums. To be sure, even their leaders killed, tortured, robbed and deceived in the name of Catholicism.

At this point, it would appear, even the Catholics want to disown him, or at least most of them. Of course Old Joe and most of his cohorts, certainly Obama, have all come down strongly for freedom of religion, as long as it isn’t Christian.

Do you suppose this might say something about them? Maybe, just a little. Just maybe they like it when people can practice their religion freely, as long as they don’t practice Christianity.

The Side Effects

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Communism, Deceit, Fauci, FOC, Going Green, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Unions by

Just saw an interesting story on TV. The headline basically was that Tennessee was falling short on tax projected revenues. Why should this be a surprise to anyone? Yet it is. Some people just don’t get it. When the economy is good, tax revenues will be good. When the economy goes into the tank, then so will the revenues, being as most revenues in some way, are based on trade.

During President Trump’s early presidency, the economy and revenues were up, even at the state and local levels. Then along came the virus and the economy was partially shut down. Soon after, the revenues were dramatically reduced.

Surprise, surprise. The only way to truly increase revenue is to improve the economy. True; increases in taxes will temporarily increase revenue. However, in the long term, the economy determines the revenues. When taxes are too high, it chokes the economy and discourages production, enterprise, and, of course, buying.

Certainly other factors contributed: riots, mass looting in stores, intentional increases in energy prices and increases in tax rates contributed to economic downturns.

However, I put the primary cause on Fauci, who provided economic support to the development of the China virus, as well as making one decision after the next that resulted in disaster after disaster. However, the damage that Fauci caused did not stop in our pocketbooks. Many can attest to the horrid damage in human lives as well.

Let’s Just Say, Not so Smart

I watched Old Joe’s speech tonight and I must admit, he did seem well aware of what was going on. It was delivered at a good cadence and seemed almost believable. His problem is this. I remember what things were like before he started messing things up on day 1 in office. Every one of the problems he spoke on he caused.

Okay, he didn’t give orders Putin to invade Ukraine; however, he did make it possible. When oil went up to $100 a barrel, it put a bunch of cash in Putin’s piggy bank that he would not have had if oil remained around $30 a barrel. Had Putin not had the money, he would not have been so likely to invade.

It is also true that Old Joe did not give the order for Hamas to attack Israel, however, between one thing and the other, he sure did finance it. Even now, he is doing what he can to keep Israel from fighting the war that he permitted. While Israel is trying to put a choke hold on Hamas, Old Joe just can’t wait to provide supplies in the back door.

Then he has the nerve to say we need money to deal with the problem on the border, which he, himself engineered, intentionally, on purpose and with intent.

Just one word for all that, DUMB… that is, unless he caused the problems intentionally. That too is very possible, maybe probable.

Then again, there are those who don’t like me using such direct language. So, let’s just say not so smart. Regardless of the logic or reason, Old Joe has a real mess on his hands now. Well, actually 3 or 4.

Don’t Look Now!

Posted in Abuse of Power, News media by

As the media leaped on the story of the supposed attack on the hospital it reminded me of something that was common in my youth. People would say, don’t look now, but your slip is showing. Sometimes it was said with good intention. On the other hand, some said it as a tease…while the slip is not showing.

Odd, I haven’t heard it in years now, for either purpose. Nonetheless, it brought to mind the saying with a major revision. To be sure, it is not the slip of the media showing but the bias. In microseconds, they condemn the Israelis for the attack. Then, as the proof comes out that it was a Hamas rocket that hit the hospital, they have to be dragged into publishing the truth.

The truth is that many media outlets have yet to admit that they got it wrong.

Incidentally, as one would expect, Old Joe apparently still doesn’t know, nor does he care. All he wants is to hamper the defense of Israel.

Now, would say that it was a slip, or more likely on purpose. Where is the condemnation for the Hamas for hitting that hospital and then blaming the Israelis. I think their bias is showing…again.

Oh. Incidentally, where is the apology for killing 500 of their own from Hamas? Do you think it will happen? Do you think Hamas cares? Indeed, if it had been an errant Israeli rocket, they would have been thrilled for the gain in publicity.

During the seventies and eighties I did do some flying, not a whole lot, just enough that it got old. One day when I was waiting in a lobby out front of the ticket counter, I glanced over and saw these symbols. The ceilings were very high and the symbols were quite a distance away.

There were 3 of them. On the left, there was depiction of a woman. Below it was a ladies room. On the right was a depiction of a man. Below it was a men’s room. Then, right in the middle there was a question mark. Below it, well it was an information desk.

I can’t help thinking back over it and the implications. I wonder from time to time if they ever changed it. However, in this day and age, it does have new meaning doesn’t it. I mean we are now in a world where we can’t determine a gender. So, maybe in the future, those who don’t know what they are, they can go to the desk below the question mark. Maybe, after a complete exam, they can provide the info they are after. Perhaps, THEY can point them in the right direction.

Then again, besides the woke, who needs an exam at all.

As a short aside, I wonder just why it is that the US is about the only country so dumb that men and women cannot be determined, even by a Supreme Court justice.
