That Which is Cultured

In general, we know that, that which is cultured grows. That which is not cultured might still grow, but not as much.

Take the farmer and his corn. He plants it, fertilizes it, waters it. He removes weeds and pests. He watches for molds and when it comes time, if all goes well, he’ll harvest a bumper crop.

The farmer is not the only one that cultures. Cultures are used for vaccines and to identify illnesses. You go into a doctor with a really bad sore throat. He might take a swab to your throat and soon, after he runs a culture, he’ll hopefully be able to give you a shot in your backside and send you home to heal.

Recently, as a nation, we have been culturing something else. Liberalism, communism, thieves, killers and mostly controllers. For those who have not read my prior posts, controllers are people who seek control of people, places or countries. Those controllers who are not stopped, seek world control.

They go by different names, kings, rulers, senators, and representatives. Most who are in the House hope to become senators. Those in the Senate hope to become president. They seek control, not for the benefit of the nation, but for themselves and their friends.

In their efforts to gain control, they will frequently culture the worst part of society.

Oddly, when voters vote for a culture (controllers), those voters seem surprised. I mean, it is what they voted for. Why should they be surprised when it is what they get.

Think. The farmer is not surprised at his crop of corn. Why should we be surprised when we culture communism. The doctor is not surprised when his culture grows staff infection? Why should anyone be surprised after culturing crime, when we find our streets full of thieves and killers?

Really, it shouldn’t be a surprise. We put power hungry leaders in charge. Why is it that we should be surprised when they abuse that power?

Why Can’t My Son Go to the 4 Grade

WRONG QUESTION!!

I was watching news last night and I heard a woman complaining, Why can’t my son go to the 4th grade?

I understand her grief. I understand her desires. My older son spent time in a California school. He also spent some time in a Memphis school. It is the primary reason we moved to Desoto County.

My advice to that woman or to anyone who has his child in Shelby County schools, get them out! just as fast as they can.

Many things can be done to improve the schools, but that would take time. You don’t have time. Besides, I don’t think they want to improve the schools. Their purpose is to take your money and gain power. Some teachers try, but, for them, they are swimming upstream. When they make the other teachers look bad, the union reps have words with them.

At this point, I’m not sure Desoto County schools are that good. I saw signs of degrading the last few years my sons were there, decades ago. Today, I would do what I could to keep my dependents out of any public schools completely.

Moreover, my advice to this and all parents in Shelby County is to ask the right questions. My question, above all, is why is it that OUR children can’t read. I emphasize OUR, because we aren’t talking 2 or 3, or 5 or 6. We are talking thousands. Shelby County schools are some of the worst performing in Tennessee and the US.

If it were individuals, we could say the child is the problem. The fact is, it isn’t the failure of the students I’m concerned with. It is the failure of the system, one which has money flooding in, and failure flowing out.

The long term solution, vote Republican. Get those dems out of there just as fast as you can. Fire teachers who can’t or won’t teach. Better to have 8th graders who can teach than a PhD who can’t.

Finally, minimize control by teachers unions.They have no business at all in the control of the schools, teaching methods or what is being taught.

I-880 Closed

Is it because of a wayward ship as the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Nope. By the way, Old Joe promised to do all possible to open that one. Haven’t heard anything from Old Joe about I-880.

When I heard about the closing of I-880, I sat and considered just why Old Joe doesn’t want to help his compadre, the gov of California.

Then I figured it out after some additional info. You see, it wasn’t a massive accident that closed The Golden Gate Bridge but a bunch of pro Palestinian demonstrators. It is not only okay for that, but something to be encouraged.

On the other hand, if they were a bunch of pro Trump demonstrators, the bridge would be clear in 5 minutes.

By the way, Trump demonstrators would not do such a thing. It is illegal. It is against the law. Besides, it is inconsiderate. The demonstrators don’t care. Old Joe doesn’t care. The dems don’t care.

Not a Drill Instructor

Even before I started Marine boot camp, I knew better than to call my D.I. a D.I. Others made that mistake, which raised the DI’s anger. Although everyone knows D.I. stands for Drill Instructor, the DI quickly reminds one and all that D.I. can also stand for Dumb Idiot. So, should you go into the Marines, you just might want to remember not to call your D.I. a D.I. He just might hit you.

Now just why would I bring this up?

Recently the dems brought a skier in front of a senate committee as an “expert” about carbon dioxide and climate change. Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana commenced to asking him questions on his so-called expertise. In less than 3 minutes, it was clear he lacked any expertise, on air, carbon dioxide, climate change, or for that matter anything. In essence, he admitted it.

He did not know what carbon dioxide was. He had no idea that it is less than 1 percent of the atmosphere. I am not sure, but I doubt he knew that carbon dioxide is a necessity for plant life.

It was obvious the guy WAS a D.I.; and I don’t mean drill instructor.

By the way, it does make the dems look like D.I.s too. They must have been dumb idiots for putting their D.I. before the committee without at least a little prep.

Paxlovid DON’T Work!

Confirmation by new study. A Confirmation of another CDC lie. All the money spent on it was wasted. Who knows how many died because CDC can’t tell the truth.

Before you follow the guidance of the CDC, you might want to consider their history of intentional falsehoods. I know I will.

Let’s Keep the Proper Perspective

if Trump had remained in office, the price of oil would have remained $30 a barrel or less. Putin would not have been able to afford to attack Ukraine. Iran would not have had the money to back HAMAS and other Israel haters. Hence, there would have been no war in the Middle East. China would not be causing us grief with drugs and Nationalist China (Fomosa).

We would not have illegal immigrants running across the border and they would not be killing our citizens by the tens of thousands. (via drugs and in other ways)

Finally, we would not have new insurgents of diseases such as measles, TB and likely a few others.

Of course, the dems don’t care. All they wanted to do was to get the orange man out of office, and why. Just what damage did he do, other than to those who hate the US and our Constitution?

The fact is, the only people he hampered were those who were seeking power and money.

It’s Still Bribery

God, through his prophets speaks, or should I say cautions, against bribery quite a bit. I will leave it up to you to look it up. He not only cautions the judge from taking bribes but against the person using his fortune to bend the outcome of a judgment.

Not only that. Guess what! It just makes sense to speak against bribery. Any time money, things or favors are offered to change an official decision, is wrong and possibly illegal. It results in bad judgments. It can result in unfair judgments. The guilty go free and the innocent gets locked up.

In modern times, it can warp the judgments of those we elect to represent us. in some cases, to gain money and power, they vote opposite of what they know is right. If you doubt me, start checking what some of these senators are worth. Look at the value of some of their homes. Look at the lobbyists who are lined up, cash in hand, willing and ready to propose their bribe.

They, the briber and the bribee, will one day face the Lord for what the have done and failed to do. I have virtually given up on most of who practice their dirty deeds in the government buildings, those most of us would like to hold sacred. Not only is their practice obvious but they no longer try to deny it. They almost all go into office as paupers and come out multi-millionaires. I mean with proof like that….

However, bribery has become common in almost every walk of of life. one of those sideways methods of bribery is advertising. It would seem, though I can’t prove it, that advertising has gained significant control over radio and TV programming.

I would guess the worst of this is the advertising of gambling on virtually all media. 30 years ago, not only would it not be done, it was illegal in most areas.

Unfortunately, both the bribers and the bribees have been hard at work. Of course we always hear those little disclaimers at the end of the ads, which you and I know are as effective as paper walls.

Now sports betting has become quite the thing. It brings together one thing I love and one thing I detest. And why? Who benefits? Of course. Those that pay the bribe, those that are bribed. The rest of us, not so much. The sports and the athletes stand in danger of destruction.

A Brief Look Back at German History

I say this with great caution. It will make it so I can easily be misquoted. And to be sure, we do live in a society that loves to misquote intentionally for personal gain.

There is one part of German history that the dems would love for the world to forget forevermore. During the time that Hitler was making his move, the communists were already well on their way to establishing themselves in the leadership of Germany and many other European countries, as well as the US.

Many would like us to forget that the communists were well on their way to dominance in Europe when Hitler put a stop to it. Had he not done that, it might have been the Soviets we fought in WWII.

Don’t get me wrong. I am no fan of Hitler. I certainly have no desire to build a statue for his memory. However, I am no cheerleader of the communists either, as are the dems.

What Every Republican Should Have Learned

President Reagan made the mistake of making the agreement that, if the dems would make laws to stop the inflow of illegal aliens then he would permit up to 20 million amnesty.

He did, they didn’t. It was, as far as I know, the one big mistake he admitted to. Every Republican should have learned the lesson, but sadly few have. We need to broadcast to one and all, “We have learned the lesson.”

It is the simple concept, payment must be made in advance. We need to repeat the phrase until all are tired of hearing it.

Right now, the dems have demonstrated they want an open border. There is no since seeking any agreement until they first close the border. We must insist on the payment in advance or learn the same lesson Reagan did. Those insisting on dealing with the likes of Biden must also insist in him closing the the border before we hold ANY discussions.

We can never win if we keep letting them win every compromise.
