Across State Lines

I normally do not like it when Memphis tries to run things down here. So I normally try to keep my nose out of their affairs. I mean, if they want to turn the criminals lose to run free on their streets, it’s really none of my business, other than when they start coming down over the state line.

Ages ago, when they were trying to put casinos here in Desoto County, there was a lot of money spent by those up in Memphis to tell us how great it would be to have the casinos. The only money we had to fight back was from a few churches and a few private citizens. Really. What business do those businesses up in Memphis have to tell us what is good for us.

I don’t like political moneys crossing state lines. I know. It’s legal. It just isn’t right for someone from NY, NY trying to tell us how to run our states. On the other hand we have no right trying to tell them how to run theirs. It just is that they have more money and they are more willing to release it to make sure they get the representatives here that they prefer. As I said, just not right

To be sure, I openly ridicule those of other states when they do or say things that affect me. For instance, when they cry out for help from us because of their poor planning. As I said, they are the ones with the money. Why should they come after the money from the other states, especially those who have much less than they do.

Now, Memphis stands on the precipice of another election. Guess what. It looks to me that they are about to make another mistake. It appears they are going to chose a mayor that is in favor of the status quo and pass on a man who will put the criminals behind bars. That means the crime will only get worse and it will overflow into our neighborhoods down south of the state line.

My guess, it’s not just me who is not minding my business. My guess is that there is a lot of money coming south from democrat states to insure that law and order remains nothing more than a TV show. Of course I can’t prove it, nor would I want to try. It’s something that looks pretty obvious to me once you look at the campaigns. I just can’t imagine a person who wants to continue to let criminals roam the streets, has the true good interest of Memphis at heart. My guess is that “across state line” finances are involved. A whole lot of it.

The Big Why for Presley

Brandon Presley, Democrat candidate for Mississippi governor, keeps airing ads that he is not in favor of many Democrat ideas. Great! Then WHY, WHY isn’t he Republican?

My suggestion as long as he’s a dem, then he’s a dem and he has associated himself with dem idealism. If he wants to claim Republican ideas, maybe he should bail out of the dem party… as many others have.

My guess, he is a dem with dem ideas. He’s just too ashamed to admit it. I mean really, boys saying they are girls. Only the dems would come up with an idea like that. If he doesn’t agree with dems, why hasn’t he distanced himself from it long ago.

Establishing the Lies

It never fails to amaze me as to how quickly can become embedded while it seems to take forever to establish the truth. Even now people speak of January first as a riot and insurrection. They neither nor say anything to establish it. It is now just assumed to be true. And, of course, they pin the whole thing on President Trump, though he did all he could to avoid it.

I’m not going to go back through all the facts. If people want to believe the lie, there is nothing anyone will be able to say or do that will alter it. However, let’s remember four indisputable facts. One, the only one shot was a women who was lying in a defenseless position by a high ranking policeman. It is the one most obvious case of police mistreatment, and no one wants to say a thing about it.

Two, the truth is that the police seemed to be welcoming everyone in, even to the point of providing a welcoming wave of the arm. I know. I saw the video. As the people entered, other than a few people, they remained orderly doing no more than looking around. No one had weapons, period. No one attacked any of the police.

Three, at his speech, President Trump encouraged the crowd to be peaceful. There were complaints that he did noting to stop it after he found out about it. What was he supposed to do. He had absolutely no communication with the crowd. He was denied access to all social media so he could not even send out a message via them.

Four, President Trump made two attempts to activate the national guard. Both times he was turned down. Pelosi had charge of security in the building. Trump could not override her authority. When she said “no” to the help from the national guard, it meant no. Had she permitted the national guard, she would not have had January 6 as a political club with which to hit the Republicans with.

To make matters worse, there are still folks they are holding in jail that never entered the building. So much for a quick fair trail. Even if they did go to trial, they would have been tried with juries that would be all democrat. DC is 95 percent dems. The defendants could try for a change of venue, but good luck on that.

I am a little curious when some of these cases make it up to The Supreme Court. I would suspect many will be overturned quickly. The problem is that some of these folks are going to lose years out of their life and that cannot be returned.

Even more angering, what really, really bothers me, there are many rinos that are quickly falling in line and are ready to concede to one of the greatest deceits in American history.

Precipice

Precipice : a very steep rock face or cliff, especially a tall one. As many English words, it was borrowed from the French. From the word, we have developed the saying, on the precipice, which might not actually have anything to do with the lay of the land. That is to say, we might use the phrase to indicate that we are near a massive change, should we continue on. We might also say, if we keep going that way, we just might fall off a cliff.

Some of us, when we are told that we are headed toward a dangerous precipice, we will take note. This is true regardless if it is a physical or a figurative danger. Some simply will not heed the danger. Some go on and when they go off the cliff, they wonder why didn’t someone tell me?

Well, right here, right now someone is here to tell you. If you keep going, it’s your fault.

There are thousands of counties in the US. Each county has a prosecuting attorney of some kind. Of course, each county has a court and the means to try people who disobey the law. Sometimes these prosecutors get things wrong. Sometimes, they prosecute the wrong people. Sometimes, they prosecute when there is no crime.

Hopefully, we have judges and juries that keep such prosecutors in check. Then again these prosecutors can become determined to lock up someone simply because he dosn’t like the guy. Maybe he doesn’t like the way he combs his hair or what kind of cap he wears. Sometimes it does become political. That is the precipice of which I am writing.

When a man is elected to office, be he Republican or democrat, there are thousands of prosecutors that are of the opposite party. And so, the Republican is in danger of being charged by the democrat and the democrat is in danger of being charged by the Republicans. Hence, there is danger whoever is sworn in.

It is likely the reason that the forefathers wrote the Constitution so that the only way a president can be removed from office is by impeachment. It is why they were careful as to how this can be done. It would appear the democrats have found an end around process. Now, they not only charge President Trump, but also everyone who has been around him. It is the Midas touch in reverse.

Then, of course, should Trump regain office, just maybe he is going to start charging democrats with crimes. I don’t think so, but he might. It is a dangerous precipice. If we continue in this direction, we just might see the downfall of the greatest nation that ever was. More over, it might come suddenly. Those doomsday preppers just might want to re-check their supplies.

Our court systems are going to be filled with people being charged with being democrats or Republicans. The criminals will be ecstatic. No one will be paying any attention to them. Well, actually, the communists will be even more thrilled. They will just walk into to the mess and take over everything.

What They Promise

Ever since Marx, they have been promising communism, the paradise on earth where everyone is equal and no one goes hungry. Stalin and Lenin promised everyone they would never go hungry again. What they gave the Russian people was another dictatorship. What Mao promised was the idealistic world of communism. What the Chinese got was a world of hunger, war, and strife. And oh yes… another dictator; a heartless ruler that killed millions some for little more than sneezing.

What Castro promised was the idealistic world of communism where all would be treated equally and everyone would have an equal education. Of course, some of his friends were more equal than everyone else. Shortly after the revolution, the people figured it out and fled the island “paradise.” They did so knowing they might not make it. They did so knowing they might die. They just knew the dictatorship they had was worse than death.

It happens every time it is tried. They offer paradise but what they give you is a ruthless dictator. Those who were in on the promise of equality got to be equal and those that were not part of the revolution, well, they were just another one of the surfs.

The process is being repeated today, right here in this country. They are promising communism. They are promising equality. They are promising paradise. They are trying to tell you that the black people will be treated as well or better than the whites.

Yet. If it is permitted to play out to its end, as in Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela and all those other places, the results most certainly be a dictatorship. Even more, you won’t likely find any Black people as part of it. Remember, this is the party of Democrats, the party of slavery, the party of Margaret Sanger, the party of Woodrow Wilson ( the president who segregated the armed forces ) and it is the party of Andrew Jackson, the president who ordered the Trail of Tears for the Indians.

The dictator who takes over will likely be a white man and he will surround himself with white men. Women need not apply. Black men need not apply. Asians need not apply. Jews need not apply. It will likely be a very limited membership.

And guess what folks. Guess what. After that, there will be nowhere to run. The communism will be on a rampage. There will be no equality world wide. There will be no paradise anywhere on the globe. Many will prefer to die than to continue to live in such a place. And there will be nowhere to go. There will be no freedom. There will be no equality, unless you want to think of suffering everywhere as equality.

And, may I remind one and all. Every time a so-called communist regime takes over, millions die. In Russia, it was about ten million. In China, likely twice that, though no one really knows. In Cuba, about a forth of the population. I suppose, in a way, if they manage such a revolution here, the ones who live will be the ones who suffer.

It Has Been Suggested

Sorry. Don’t know the man’s name and I should. He is the third in the Republican running for President. Just is that I don’t know how to spell his name and I certainly can’t pronounce it. I guess this disqualifies me to ever become a reporter. Well, I will learn his name, both the spelling and the pronunciation.

Don’t get me wrong. I am still for Trump for president, but I heard the other guy say something I really like. He said that if he were elected president, he would send troops to the border. Now that is an idea I can live with. It should have been done a long time ago. The fact of the matter is that it should be treated as an invasion because an invasion is exactly what it is. They might not be using planes and tanks, but it is just as bad and maybe even more effective. We don’t shoot anyone because, well they aren’t really the enemy are they? They just want a job. Who can fault them for that?

Well, it is time to finish the wall and put some serious soldiers there. We need to arm them and give them authorization to shoot. Then we need to make it well known to one and all that we will no longer permit anyone to cross the border illegally.

No one would need to shoot anyone. The illegal migration would stop immediately.

Then the next step… the deportation. They should be rounded up and deported immediately. If they want to apply for asylum, fine. Let them do it from the south side of the border. It should have been done that way to begin with.

If we had done it right in the first place, there would be no need for the army to do the job. The problem is simple. The dems want more voters and the rinos want more labor. Then too, the criminals want the money they make off the smuggling, slaves, dope and prostitutes. It is why few people running for office will run for control of the border. It is why they like to come up with platitudes like, comprehensive immigration reform.

Comparisons

The dems just love making comparisons. Well, here are a few things to think about. To keep things straight forward, let’s use 2020 for it all.

364 by rifle. Too many to be sure but it is one of the lowest. More people were killed by hand, fist and feet that year.

1476 were killed by knife. My guess is that if we were to outlaw guns, this number would rise very fast, like at least double.

6365 killed by hand gun. I didn’t know that. In light of that, I really wonder why they want to outlaw the AR15. The AR15 is intended for distance. It loses it’s effectiveness in close.

Approximately, 71,000 are killed by drunk drivers. I’m not real great with math but that looks to me like more than all the above weapons combined. Maybe we should do more to keep the drunk drivers off the road. It would certainly save more lives than outlawing all rifles combined.

91,000 were killed by overdose, many of which were opiates. Many of those opiates came from China. Why do we let them do that? Why do we let criminals smuggle them over the border. Why do we let the drug aider in chief remain in office.

Note, every time there is a shooting, there is an uproar. Where is the uproar over the drugs that Old Joe intentionally allows across the border.

By the way, whether you want to admit or not, drunk driving is also drug abuse. So, really about 160 thousand are killed in one way or the other from drug abuse. That does not include the murders that are relative to drug abuse. There is no telling how many that would add to it. I would guess 20 thousand would be a conservative estimate.

A Word About Social Media

It is why I will never get on Ticktock or Facebook or anything similar. Perhaps I could be more well known if I did, but those folks have a serious problem. They publish lies without hesitation. The truth they disallow, while calling it a lie. That which aids and abets our enemy is welcome while that which encourages patriotism is verboten. They have permitted the rewriting of history, especially American history.

Well, let’s see what I mean. What about the virus. Much of what they would not permit from good ethical doctors could not be published. That damaging, which the dems wanted, was published and encouraged. Perhaps millions died because of that. It kept at least three effective meds from being used while allowing meds that had no effect. It caused two-year-olds to have to wear masks when they knew they had no effect. It obliterated the restaurant industry, especially in NY, NY and It just almost brought the American economy to an absolute halt. And then, as if that was not enough, they caused the US to go into a debt that we might never crawl out of, at least for another 100 years. Finally, they helped the dems outright steal an election right in front of our eyes. (Don’t tell me different. I saw what I saw. Others did too, but it is inconvenient for them to remember.)

People ask me why I won’t get on a social media. Now, you know why. I would appreciate it very much if you would let others know.

Incidentally, has anyone noticed the big increase in crime these last few years, especially shootings? Most of us don’t like it. The dems love it. It gives them a reason… well it just gives them reasons. That’s what they want.

What Happens When the Drive Through Becomes Illegal?

It will happen, you know. Do you have any idea How much fuel you use while waiting for that Big Mac or wait for that convenient bank transaction. Not only that, it does produce a lot of CO2, not to mention CO, which is far worse. The planet’s plants can use the carbon dioxide for food. Carbon monoxide is not good for plant or animal.

So, maybe I can challenge a few folks to write a post on what happens when those ultra green folks take away the drive through.

Normally, when I post something, I will suggest a plan, a solution, maybe a probable outcome. This time I simply have no idea. It will be the meeting of the lazy with those who don’t like CO2 belching machines, of any kind.

As near as I can see it, your post needs to address three aspects. What it will mean for those who will actually have to leave their luxury vehicles and traipse off into the cold of winter or the heat of summer to get that wonderful whopper, which they will be able to have their way.

The other thing to consider, is how will the restaurant deal with it. Many of them rely heavily on the drive through. Having to permanently close the window will not go well for them. It might actually eat into their profits unless they come up with something.

Finally, some places keep their drive throughs open all night. Take away the drive through and that will have to change. Just how, I’ll let you decide.

The fact is, I know only one thing about it all. One day it will happen. We really ought to start thinking about it. I’m open to your thoughts and considerations. Maybe a few of you like drive throughs and will have to face withdrawal pains; as well as trudging through the snow. Some of you run restaurants and banks. I’d really like to hear your ideas. I have none. Some of you might be brilliant and you just might come up with something to resolve the inevitable problem.

On the other hand, maybe some of you just have some comments on it all. Just, let’s try to keep them clean and reasonable. I mean, I have some things I’d like to say too, but I try very hard to avoid that kind of language.

Incidentally, have any of you been stuck in line behind someone at one in the morning insisting on ordering for 6 or 7 people, all paying separately?

Decisions, Decisions

I saw something on TV, or was it something I heard on the radio. At the time, I didn’t think a lot about it but the more I think about it the more I realize both the wisdom and importance. The man said that when his children reached 12, he insisted on explaining something to them.

Up to this point, decisions generally have little if any effect on later life. Kids make decisions every day that will quickly be forgotten. Once a person reaches 12, decisions start taking on a more permanent nature.

That was as far as he went. He said no more about it over the air. More and more, I realize the truth in what he said. I wish someone had told me about it, though I was somewhat getting the idea on my own. Even so, as a young man, I did things and said things I wish I hadn’t. I wish I had told my kids, though mostly they turned out good in spite of my shortcomings. There is one thing I would suggest different than the above though. Nowadays, parents need to have the talk with their kids when they are 10, and again at 14, and then at 18.

It is a different world we are in today. What we do and say can follow us even from the preteen years well into adulthood. This is true about what is done and what is perceived to have been done. This is even more true for those that may go into public life. However, it would seem that nowadays, applications for employment have become far more probing.

Just think, if you plan on being a Supreme Court justice someday, that little thing you did at eleven just might make it to the news and you could lose that appointment. If you want to become president, that little fling with that prostitute could cost you the election. To make matters worse, It can cost you the election even if the fling never took place.

The dems are not above making huge money offers to people to give false witness just to destroy their appointment. So a person, when he makes decisions much consider, not only what he does, but he must also be able to defend himself should someone suggest he did do something he didn’t.

It’s not just the dems that like the idea. Satan just loves it when a famous upstanding preacher is accused of something horrible, especially when he’s not guilty. Indeed, he is quick to originate the thought of such false witness. Moreover, he is especially happy should a good pastor stumble. For them, all it takes is once.

And so it is, as we go through life, we must be very careful. When we make decisions, we need not only need to think about whether it good or bad, but also if it might look bad. In essence, we must go through life realizing that at any time, we might be attacked by Satan, himself, of any one of his thousands of willing minions who call themselves democrats, or in some cases, the church gossips.

As a point of fact, after years of the attacks waged on trump, before, during and after he held office, no one proved he did one thing wrong. However, they did manage to disparage him, based on his former life style. I guarantee, none of this would have come about had Trump went along to get along with the dems. It is how the dems maintain control, the threat of attack can have a big affect. In fact, Trump likely would still be in office, no charges of any type would have been made if he only made the bad decisions.

One more thing about decisions. If you do make the right ones, be ready to face those ready to attack you. Be ready to face the accusations. They will most certainly follow. The dems don’t like it when someone gets in the way of their plans. That’s also true of Satan.
