AOC Was Right

As hard as it might be to believe, she was right. It does give credence to the adage that the old broke clock is precisely correct twice a day.

She said most don’t know what capitalism is. Most don’t know what socialism is.

The fact is most Americans would not know the difference if their lives depended on it. It’s a shame because their freedom and their lives do depend on it.

Now I have a question for the congresswoman. If she knows the difference, why does she prefer the worse. It is not that difficult to known which is better.

Just maybe it is that she does know. Just maybe she wants to be part of the elite, formally known as the royalty.

My suggestion is that we all learn the benefits of capitalism before losing our freedom.

Remember, loss of liberty is one generation away. People such as AOC have the desire to take it from us. …and, by the way, she has many comrades. Comrades is cohorts for the commies.

As an aside, AOC ought not brag. The reason most people can’t tell the difference is because the education system failed to teach them. Just another good reason for school choice. Do we really want to send out children to schools that fail or refuse to teach?

Using school choise is an effective form of capitalism. The good schools thrive. Those that can’t or won’t teach fail. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Then again, it just might be AOCs desire to keep our children ignorant.

A Question for the Future Associate Supreme Court Justice

I really would not want her to answer. but the question should be asked, for her benefit as well as Joe’s and the other senators.

“How does it feel to be the most qualified black woman in the US for the Supreme Court?”

Being a woman, she is best of 50% of all possible candidates. maybe. That assumes that there are as many men as women candidates. Then of course, being black. she is best qualified 13 % of those in the US. Altogether that makes her the best qualified of about 4 % of the population of the country. Maybe that makes her feel well qualified. I don’t know. If that makes makes her feel good about her appointment, it does make me wonder a little about her intelligence. The stats just don’t speak well for her.

It’s okay though. Joe will have his pick. Unless she really steps on her own toes, for instance in the are of child pornography, she will be the next justice. Given her thoughts on crime, she just may embarrass herself and those who leveraged her in. Also, she just might embarrass a few of those who share the color of her skin and her gender. Next time a democrat appoints a justice, he, or she, just might loot at the qualifications first… then the color of the skin.

What’s the Difference?

I’m standing in line with my buggy full of groceries. A man walks up behind me with one thing in each hand. I told the man to go ahead. He’s not going to slow me down. By the time I get my things on the conveyor belt, he will be checked out.

Before I realized it, he left a hundred dollars in cash toward my groceries. Honest. I tried to stop him but he was gone. So, my grocery bill ended up being 7 dollars and change.

To this day, I cannot imagine a reason behind what he did. Certainly, the savings in time was not that much to him. I must simply mark this one up as me encountering an incredible generous man. I truly hope that God took note of that and provided him with a reward.

On the other hand, you have people such as Hitler, Mao, Stalin and Putin. Just what’s the difference? What causes one man to be so kind and generous and another ruthless and selfish? One man is kind and easy to get along with, while another will kill at the drop of the hat.

It is a question that has puzzled me over the years, almost 3/4 of a century. I am not going to pretend I know. There are some that are so foolish as to pretend they have the answer. They call some of them psychologists and some of them psychiatrist.

Some will say it is their environment, the way they are taught from their youth. Others say it is inherited. Of course they are both right; they are both wrong and both are also completely astray.

Some partial answers come from the Bible. But then the Bible also produces more questions, ones for which I haven’t an answer, not a clue. Let’s take for instance Cain and Able, the sons of Adam and Eve. They were both born of the same parents and they were both brought up under the best possible environment. Yet, one pleased God and the other became a murderer. On top of that, he had the stupidity of trying to hide it from God.

I assure you, no psychologist will ever explain that to my satisfaction. Then some time later, twins are born of Izaak. One goes on to please God, the other not. Again same parents, same environment. To be sure, one was preferred by the mother, the other by the father. Still, later, it is recorded that God hated Esau. It is not an explanation, just an observation.

In one place in the Bible, it says that we must each answer for our own sins. Then, in another, God says that He will visit the sins of the fathers, I think, to the 7th generation. In Revelation, it is written that we will all be judged individually, yet, we are also told that sin is inherited. That is to say, we sin because it is inherited from our parents and originally from Adam.

So, in parts of the Bible, it would seem we are judged from inheritance, in others, because of our training. There is but one thing I can positively bring away from it all. We are all individuals with free wills. We are all judged as a result of our decisions, not the decisions of our ancestors.

Based on this, things do not look so good for Putin. One day he will face God as we all will. The same is true for Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc. I guess at that judgement day, it will make the difference. Still, I really wished I could understand it. Did Putin have a bad environment or was it inherited. Did Hitler murder 6 million Jews because of the way one treated him one day. Maybe it was just faulty reasoning. This side of eternity, we will never know.

However, there is one thing we do know. Such horrible people have existed from the beginning and they will remain until Jesus returns. All we can hope to do is identify them and try to keep them from ruling the world, or just part of it.

Red Herring

I decided to look up the word to make sure I have been using it right. One meaning has to do with smoked fish. The other somewhat has to do with deception. The following words are are considered to mean the same or nearly the same thing as the second meaning.

Ruse, blind, feint, deception, subterfuge, hoax, smokescreen, trick, ploy, sham, pretense, and distraction.

Whenever anyone representing Joe says that there are 9,000 leases already approved, we can honestly, say that every one of the above words applies, especially ruse, deception, hoax and smokescreen. Their purpose is to hide the truth and deceive. It is all part of a big hoax. Bottom line, it is dishonest.

Then again why should anyone expect anything else from any FOC, especially ol’ Joe.

Many of those leases have no oil. Anyone who would do the research would know it is sort dumb to drill where there is no oil. Moreover, the FOCs have been blocking the oil people every place they are able using super red tape.

In essence, the FOCs have declared war on oil long before Joe took office. They prefer to buy the oil from enemies and terrorist than to pump it out from under our own feet. There is but one reason I can think of for that. They are also friends of the enemy as well as the criminals.

Can anyone give me another reason?

Speaking of criminals, anyone see hide nor hair of that criminal #1, Fauci. He seems to be hiding these days. Maybe he is getting ready to take off for China, where I am sure they will richly reward him.

The Unintended Consequence

Putin had the idea of taking over Ukraine. However, his efforts have made two facts clear. He is a very bad general and the leader of Ukraine is very likely the best leader holding office on this earth these days.

If Putin should succeed at killing Zelenskyy, he might realize it to be his worst mistake. The man might die but his influence will far outlast Putin and any potential legacy he might have ever had.

Zelenskyy will be remembered for his courage and leadership. Putin will be remembered for his cowardice and ruthlessness, as with all bullies.

By the way. One more thing. Zelenskyy just might outlive Putin. I’m sure that would be just fine with most of us.

Give Me Freedom or Give Me Death

It was a long time ago when those words of inspiration were spoken. Then too, Franklin, I think, said something to the effect of, He who prefers security over liberty deserves neither.

The problem with Biden is that he provides no security while he steals our freedom. He does not want us to have freedom of speech or religion. He wants to take our guns and he wants to federalize our voting laws.

At the same time he has done all he can to give our advisories every advantage he can.

As the aside, he opened the border and gave illegal immigrants more privileges than American citizens.

Personally, I must somewhat disagree with old Ben. I believe in both freedom and security. In the US, The two should not be mutually exclusive. As for Patrick Henry’s words, I totally agree. The question is, in this country, why should we have to choose?

To be sure, many have had to choose between a useless inoculation or a loss of employment. But then why should we have anything to say about our own personal health?

It would appear that Joe is trying to make our founding fathers roll over in their graves. The real tragedy is that good brave men fought and, in some cases, died to provide our liberty and folks like Joe keep coming along and try to take them, as if they have been given a special privilege. Among men, no should have any such privilege.

Two Experts

I have been told a time or two that an expert is someone who knows a great deal about very little.

My first thought was that Biden and Fauci are excellent examples of such experts. Then again, what is their field of expertise. Biden said he has expertise in foreign relations and we are told that Fauci’s field is in viruses.

I might be wrong. I have been a time or two. However, Biden has not been doing too well in diplomacy and I’m not sure Fauci knows much about viruses. Maybe what they are really expert at is really messing things up. They are doing so much of it that I have a tendency to think it is intentional. If so, that would mean that is their field of great knowledge.

It is a shame. Things were going along so well before they figuratively got their hands on things. Now we will spend decades getting things right again, if ever. As for going green, forget it. If we have to go back to the stone age, we will have to burn wood to stay warm and ride horses to get around. Wood will pollute our air and deplete our forests. The horses will pollute our streets and they will need megatons of hay.

Just saying, it is where we will go if those two experts have their way. Just think of where Fauci will take medicine. Instead of curing diseases, he will invent new ones.

(Anyone know where I can get a deal on a wood burning stove?)

Just Something About Tantrums

You ever been out in public and see a toddler yelling, kicking and flailing his arms wildly… in other words throwing a tantrum. Though I have no memory of it, I likely threw my share of them. It’s natural for a child. They must be taught to behave themselves or the parent will have real problems as he gets older.

Normally, I keep myself out of the business of other states and certainly other nations.

However, in this case I must record my observations. The Canadian truckers start a demonstration and the PM decided to throw an outright tantrum.

Mind you, I am not trying to tell them who should run their country, especially considering who is running ours. I mean it is their choice. If they want a toddler for a leader, that’s their choice. It’s just an observation. Apparently his parents never taught him that it makes him and those who voted for him look childish.

False Flag Operation

Over and over we hear about a possible false flag operation to come out of Russia.  I don’t know.  It sort of seems plausible.  I SOP for Russians.  I know because I have seen it a  number of times.  At the time they used Pravda to try to convince the world.  In some situations, they have used the New York Times, who were more than willing accomplices.

However, it is not my purpose to talk of Russian false flags.  Indeed, I just might be wrong but that whole January 6 operation might have been a false flag operation.  The FOCs certainly are not above such antics.  Moreover, it does have a number of the FOC earmarks.

I saw videos of men encouraging the operation.  They were there and now they aren’t.  Though they are on videos, no one seems to want to talk to them.  If anyone did talk to them, no one wants to say.

They certainly took max advantage of the situation.  They have illegally incarcerating people, many for over a year without trial.  They have launched a false investigation into anyone and every who knows President Trump…without any evidence.  The fourth amendment has no bearing.  Even worse, the defendants have no right to discovery.  That sounds illegal to me.  Sort of sounds like the trials held in places like Venezuela.  Sort of looks like a kangaroo court, if I have ever seen one.  It’s the sort of thing done by back-wood sheriffs and judges you see in the movies all the time.

Moreover, there were no efforts by Nancy to stop the crowd, though she had to know about them, she refused the help of the National Guard.

Finally, the most incriminating.  Police seemed to be beckoning them to enter, even waving to the crowd to enter.  No one seemed to try to stop them from entering.  No one held up a hand and said stop, please.  I saw one policeman running up some stairs a number of times.  My first thought was that he was running for his life.  As I studied it more closely, he looked more like a tour guide.

Certainly, I don’t put it past the FBI to be part of it.  Look what they did for four years, illegally with no proof to President Trump.

However, time continues to march by.  In a few months Nancy will lose her gavel and then they will conduct a real investigation into to it all.

Hint, Nancy: You just might want to buy a ticket to China.  We won’t be able to touch you and I am sure they will welcome you.  On the other hand, she just might have to give up her favorite flavor of ice cream.
