Echoes From the Past

September 10,1986 a man gave a speech at The National Press Club. It was elegant and persuasive. I know. I heard the speach back then and twice more this morning. (the benefit of internet) If the speech and the man succeeded at the goals, Israel would not have the iron dome today. Conceivably, it would no longer exist. On the other hand, seeing the hopelessness of surviving the onslaught missiles fired at them, Israel might have launched their nuclear weapons to protect themselves.

The man who made the speech was none other than Old Joe; you know, the current occupier of the Oval Office; you know the character who doesn’t want Israel to use the most effective targets for defending themselves (oil and nuclear targets ). Old Joe should thank Reagan for SDI and all those that developed it. If it did not exist today, his presidency would be far more difficult. I suspect things will be better for the whole world if Iran never has nuclear weapons. If they lost their method of making money, oil, things would certainly be better in the Middles East. Most important, it would likely save millions of lives.

In the speech he proposed that it was preposterous that it would work. He and his dems decided to fight it at every turn. Fortunately, it continued to be developed. Fortunately, it works. With the proper research, it will only work better.

The unarguable fact is that Old Joe was wrong back then. He is also wrong today. Hopefully, it won’t be too late.

Baffled

Baffled is the Word

I had to think this one over for a long time.  I had a hard time to think of the right word.  I passed on several words, such as confused and perplexed.  It just is that those words just simply don’t work.

Let me go back to my high school days when Life Magazine just might have published one of the best articles they ever wrote.  Actually, it was a series.  Though reading has always been one of my least favorite things to do, I read the entire series, very carefully.  If I had the series in front of me today, I would read it again.

I actually think it would be good for every high school kid to read it, maybe an updated version.  It certainly didn’t hurt me at all to read it.  There was a wealth of info in that series.

I guess the one part that fascinated me the most was the part on the brain.

After I read it all, some parts rereading it, I came to a conclusion.  We know very little about the human body, me even less.  The article on the brain just absolutely baffled me.

They described all the workings.  They wrote about the nerve cells and synopsizes.  I read about the chemicals and how different parts of the brains did different things.  But the question always came back, “But how does it work?”

I think I can safely say that only God knows.  I suspect even the angles haven’t a clue.

I really, really wished I had been smarter.  I could have become a doctor.  I could have done many people a lot of good.  I really would have liked that.  However, truth be known, the doctors, with all the research and learning, don’t really know the human body and how it works.

They have only begun to break the surface.  In a way, that might be good.  Too much knowledge can be dangerous.  With the knowledge they have, look at what they are doing with it.

They are turning girls into boys and boys into girls, but not really.  They yet do not have that knowledge.  They just think they do.

My wife was very smart.  However, she never got by basic math.  Working with letters as numbers totally confused her.  She had to take a semester of algebra in order to become a respiratory therapist.  Before she retired, she was very good at it.  She was never a doctor; however, she had to learn a lot of the same things that doctors learn.

When she got her degree, she knew the name and location of every bone in human body.  Me, I know the basic ones but I could never in the world learn all the names of them.  She learned 100s of medicines, their names and their uses.  But algebra, she couldn’t get past the ABCs.

It is more common than many might think.  I have seen many who are so knowledgeable and skilled in one area, and they can’t seem to get past the basics in other subjects.

Very rarely, you might come across someone with knowledge in a wide variety of subjects.  I guess, to some degree, Benjamin Franklin was that way.  He was likely a person who could converse with just about any kind of specialist… at least in his day.

I suppose it might be a way to keep the brain from being overloaded.  Can you imagine someone that would be right at home at a dozen or different skills or specialties?  Just remaining current in the different fields would be taxing on the brain.

And so it is, baffling is the word I must use.  How do we learn all we know?  Then too, how is it that people can be so intelligent in some areas and so lacking in others.

And it was, a short time ago that I learned of some very intelligent people who are not backing Trump.  Some, indeed, are backing Kamala.  It is baffling.  I think Pence is likely a pretty smart guy.  He must know what will happen if Kamala gets in there behind the desk in the Oval Office.  Yet, he has refused to back Trump, or at the least stay silent.  It does make me wonder who, if anyone will he vote for, and why.  Hopefully, it is not because of his ego.

Then, the one that really surprises me: Oprah Winfrey.  Now I don’t know her personally.  I have never talked to her, nor have I spent a lot of time listening to her.  However, one cannot live in today’s society without knowing a thing or two about her.  I must admit that I have a great deal of respect for her.  She is brilliant.  She has a true love to help people.  I suspect she would help more folks if the government would just get out of the way.

I have heard her speak and I must say I have been impressed by the way she speaks on many subjects.  She has accumulated a great wealth.  It takes some understanding of economics to accumulate it and organize it.

So… I went into my word search.  I settled on the word, “baffled,” when I heard her solidly back Kamala for president.  The one thing that baffles me so much is, when you consider all the harm that Kamala has brought on this world, as well as her current boss, how in the world could Oprah back a person who is so obviously dishonest?  She must know of all the lies she told during the debate alone.

I tried to reason it out but I think it broke my reasoner.  I would say it confused me, but that wasn’t quite the word.  It goes far beyond my understanding.  She has access to more info than I do.  She has had the opportunity to speak with Kamala.  She knows her history and she knows what she will do if given the chance.

I’m not sure, but I think she has meant and spoke with Trump.  She has seen what good Trump did.  She saw what Old Joe did.  It would seem she is totally without the excuse of ignorance.  I can, understand, to some degree, a person being deceived by Kamala.  But I’ve got to say that Oprah Winfrey is going into this eyes wide open.  No ignorance.  No deceit.  It absolutely defies logic.

I can’t imagine it being some kind of financial agreement.  It is so, so difficult to bribe someone who has more money than she knows what to do with.  Still, it does not remove the possibility of some kind of agreement behind the scenes.

Truthfully, I don’t know.  As I said, it’s baffling.

There’s No Way to Erase the Truth

Old Joe’s son, what’s his name? Never mind, you know of whom I speak. At any rate, he is now an admitted felon. He has admitted to disobedience of a law, which is a felony. By the way, it is a major one. Al Capone went to that little island in San Francisco bay for one that was very similar.

Will what’s his name go to prison. Of course not. He has already been told as much. It is why the guy so quickly admitted his guilt.

However, you and I both know he will not spend one day, not one hour in prison. Old Joe knows better than for that to happen. His son knows too much. Not only can he bring down the Biden family, but the entire democrat party. All the guy need do is make a threat and all charges will be wiped clean as new fallen snow.

However the truth is still truth. It cannot be erased. The son still did it and Old Joe profited greatly from it. How else did Old Joe get his millions? I mean, being a senator or VP does not pay that much. Actually, being president doesn’t pay that much. Old Joe is the very definition of graft and bribes by example.

The Problem With Dems

Many would say the problem with Dems is that they are communists. Though it would seem that way, they really aren’t communists. It is simply an interim for their real purpose, total control, as suggested in the book and movie, 1984.

They want to be big brother. However, they know it won’t work that way. The book spoiled it. Now we know to look out for big brother. So they are suggesting communism instead. Once they establish communism, then they will quickly establish what they really want, control.

Most of us hated the pandemic and what it brought. The dems loved it. It gave them a reason to control, and control is what they did, even before Old Joe took over the Oval Office. If you think about a while, you will have to agree with me. The pandemic was one of the greatest things that happened to the dems.

One might suggest that it was a huge windfall for them. This would suggest it was not planned. they just took advantage of it. That might be. However, bear in mind that it was the dems that provided monies for the research and it was the dems that helped it spread world wide. And, by the way, it was the dems who absolutely loved it, admit it or not.

They shut down schools, businesses and even some government functions. They stopped travel, where you could eat and where you could buy it. They dictated when and where you could worship, in spite of the 1st amendment and no one dare say anything against their program, again, despite any amendments, for that matter, regardless of the Constitution. As an aside, they just almost bankrupted all airlines.

For a while, they just almost had total control, exactly what they wanted. It was, just what they wanted but for one thing. It came to an end, sort of. We are still stuck with businesses going under and a total disruption to our schools. It took a long time for the airlines to recover, though some would say they are still recovering. Finally, it drove good, patriotic men from the military. Much of what they did cannot be undone.

Also, most people are afraid to say the wrong thing(which is likely the right thing). I’m not. I’m almost 77. If they want to wage a war on me, that’s fine. It won’t last long. Neither will I.

Paraphrases of the Bard

A Rose is a rose, is a rose, no matter what name you give it.

Evil, is evil, is evil, no matter what you call it.

Illegal is illegal, is illegal, however you word it.

No matter what you call an alien, he/she is an alien. The instant he/she passes over the border illegally, then he/she is an illegal alien. As the bard put it, it is the same under any other name. The fact of the matter is, when you call them any anything else, you are just covering it up with a euphemism.

The instant one or more of those illegal aliens commits a terrorists attack, it is Old Joe and Kamala’s fault. Somehow, I don’t expect either of them to own up to it. That truth will be directly proportional to how bad the act is and the number killed. It is the pattern they set in Afghanistan.

So in summery, a terrorists attack by an illegal alien will be a terrorists attack, even when the news tries to color it as a demonstration. The bard says so. So there.

Who Do You Trust?

Actually, it was a title of an old TV show, 1957-1963. Yes, I used to watch it. I enjoyed it, far more than the game shows of today. It would seem, today they might name a show, how far can we push it until the FCC pulls the figurative plug.

The title of the show was brought to mind recently as someone used the phrase in an attempt to push Kamala for president. It seemed a good line to build a post around. I mean, the US voters put Old Joe in the Oval Office for four years. It was close in that he almost didn’t get elected and he almost got another four years.

But then something happened to put a stop to it all, almost instantly. Today, almost everyone in this country will admit the man has really lost it. He could never have done it. There is no telling what the plan was in the dem hierarchy but, for the short term, they were going to ask the voters to put our trust in who just might get lost crossing the street.

Some might be wondering what my point is. Others might already have figured it out. I have not concealed it well. I mean, just who is going to trust a woman who was going to ask us to trust Old Joe, when she knew what might very well have happened as a result.

However, she was not nearly the only one. The entirety of the leadership of the Democrat party was asking us to vote for a man who could hardly find his way to or from a podium. To think, that we trusted him to carry the codes to a nuclear war. Yeah, that’s right, he still has them until January, no matter who wins in November. I don’t know about you but that scares me.

Going back to the title of my post, who do you trust? Do you really trust a party that put our country in that much danger for four years, yes, for a while, they wanted us to give him four more years to endanger, not just the country, but the entire planet in so much danger.

As an aside, you might ask those folks worshiping our planet, nature and all the trees, “What would have happened if Old Joe decided to call an end to mankind and to all that lives on planet earth?”

Maybe it is time to take those codes away from him now. Maybe it is time to invoke the 25th amendment. Better yet, Maybe it is time to remove them both from office, Old Joe and the woman that aided and abetted the danger the dems put us in.

Won’t ever happen, of course. The dems would rather risk total annihilation than let the Speaker ascend to the presidency. With that in mind, can you ever trust a dem again, ever.

As the Youth Die

When I wrote my book, “Mitch” I tried to put passages in it that would drive the youth away from drugs. As you can see, that didn’t work. Not many read the book. If they read it, they haven’t paid any attention. I would say my words fall on deaf ears, but they fact is my words don’t reach their ears.

In one of the passages, the main character, Mitch, is explaining to Margo one of his worst fears as policeman in drug enforcement is to one day look down the barrel of a gun held by a twelve year-old. In the book, he doesn’t explain it further. The reason for his fear is obvious. Does he kill the youth in self-defense or because of his age, does he allow the youth to pull the trigger on him?

As I wrote the words, and more over the years, I do wonder if there are similar situations that police officers are put in from time to time. I suspect it does happens. Sometimes the officer allows the youth to pull the trigger. In some cases, the officer pulls the trigger, knowing that he will live with the regret… knowing that those who appointed him to protect and serve will accuse him forever and a day. For sure, many times the officer goes to prison.

Don’t get me wrong. The officer is not always right to pull the trigger. I would never make a good cop. I would be among those that might pull the trigger when the kid has a B-B gun. Then I would have to suffer the rest of my life knowing that I made a mistake, though it isn’t really a mistake. B-B guns frequently do look like real guns, especially in the heat of the moment.

When I was a kid, that sort of thing didn’t happen. Why is it so commonplace today? There might be many reasons. However, I know of two. When I was a kid, kids were not involved in crime. Today, it is more and more common for younger and younger kids to have real guns and pull the trigger with little or no reason. Without police, the eleven and twelve-year-olds would be shooting each other as, to some degree, they do today.

The second reason is a little more difficult to see, but it’s there. The proliferation of the drug culture. At first, it was just the adults that were the only ones shooting at each other over the drugs and money. I guess, in the future we can look forward to 10 or even 9-year-olds shooting at each other.

As the youth die, the dems don’t care. They do nothing to curtail drug use. In fact, they seem to do things to encourage it and the accompanying violence, you know, like letting the cartel import the poison over the border.

You never, ever see the dems shedding a tear at the loss of the lives of children, actually over anyone. It facilitates the goals of ridding the country of law enforcement by decreasing their funding, which only adds to the problem, which, of course is by design.

Who Would Have Thunk?

The simple idea. Make two coins. One with Biden on the front and Trump on the back. The other coin with Trump on the front on the front and Biden on the back.

Trump ain’t runnin no more. I wonder if they will redo the coin or continue with the old ones. Well, I guess they could sell both, the old ones and the new ones. Some might actually want the old ones.

I Was Wrong

I’m really slipping. Second time this month. At any rate, to the best of my knowledge, Old Joe is still hold up in his home and saying he will not come out and play the games the godfathers of the Democrat party want to play.

I’m not sure, but I’d guess that the dems will start getting serious with the threats. On the other hand, Old Joe is likely pointing out a few skeletons the dems are hiding in their closets. I think what we are seeing here is a real power war held within the Democrat Party and they are firing salvos at each other daily, if not more frequently.

The disadvantage to the dems is that when fighting is internal, the damage can be severe and long lasting. But what else can they do? If Biden holds onto the nomination, the dems know it will be a crash and burn election. The power that they have been fighting for will figuratively go up in smoke inside a month or two after Trump takes the oath. They know Trump will not just threaten to reverse their accomplishments, he will do it. He did it before. Unlike any of the former Republican presidents, Trump owes nothing to anyone and he will close the border and open the oil spigots.

The county club republicans won’t like actually having to pay an honest wagees for labor and the dems won’t like losing all those wonderful potential voters. Iran, Russia, Iraq and the Saudis will not like the drop in oil prices. The Ruskies will have to give up their efforts to take over the world until another dem takes over the Oval Office.

You want to see how the dems try to do damage control, just keep an eye on the news for the next couple of months.

Just one more little reminder. The dems still have the 25th amendment. They can remove Old Joe from office in ten minutes. However, Old Joe will still remain the Democrat candidate for president. I am sure Kamala is also well aware of it. It puts her in a real quandary. Does she remain with Joe and figuratively go down with the ship, which will end her career; or does she abandon her “fearless leader,” and fall in line with her communists comrades.

Any way you look at it, I don’t see her winning. Even if she stays with Joe and they win, she will have distanced herself from the party. The only hope she would have is that she might say she did it for the party. Using the 25th after Joe takes his oath, Joe would be removed from office and she would be president; the first black woman pres. However, who in the world would she pick to be her VP? She just might have to get very desperate to find someone who would be willing.

Well, I suppose her husband would volunteer, but I’m not sure. He likely knows her too well.

THIS JUST IN. As they say, reliable sources suggest that there is an agreement, so to speak, a gentleman’s agreement. Old Joe would not pull out of the race, but he would lose the candidacy during the Democrat convention.

Well, that’s what I heard. This, of course brings up many questions. Can they really manage it? It would take very little to cause it all to blow up in everyone’s face. Just how will that play in the general election? Somehow they will have to explain how the leaders of the Democrat Party, the guardians of the democracy, just threw away the results of 14 million votes in the rank and file of the party.

I mean, I know why they would do it. They don’t want to lose the general election. They don’t want to lose their power. It is, as I aforementioned. It’s their damage control; AKA, panic.

Would this mean I was actually right. I wished I could say so, but no. I was still no. My guess was that he would already be out of the race. Besides, we still do not know how this will play out. As the guy said, Man’s best plans…

The Race Is On and the Questions Abound

I made a mistake. At 9 PM I went shopping. I admit. It was a weakness. I have learned it is not as hot after the sun goes down and at my age, I am not nearly able to take the heat as well.

So, apparently, right after I left the house the stories started breaking. The rumors are flying and it is difficult to nail any of it down.

Apparently, and I say apparently, because I have not been able to nail it down; many of the dem leaders are asking Old Joe to step aside from the election, citing the fact his poles on in tank and a little lower. From what I gather, Old Joe told them to get lost. He said his poles are just fine and he is going to win.

I did find reports from a couple of networks and Reuters News have reported that the pressure is now on.

On the other hand, Old Joe has put his defenses up by trying a virtual early vote. His hope is that if he gets the official vote, it will be more difficult to remove his nomination. Hence, the race is on. Does he lose his nomination before he is officially nominated. For that matter, will it protect him as he hopes?

Then too, the questions arise. Is it legal to remove him by force? Are threats going to be made? If he does bow to the pressure, who will the nominee be? Then too, questions of law pop up. Can the dems really negate the thousands of votes in the primary. If so, how do they go about it.

Then again, there is another real problem they have. If he is not fit to serve as pres in January, is he fit now? Or…. at what point between the two points in time does Old Joe become unfit and how do we Know. Do the doctors give him a test at the beginning of each day and certify him fit for the day.

Then too, the one question that most concerns me. Are those commie dems going to try to make me listen to that voice and cackling of Kamala for 4 years? I hope she avoids news conferences as much as Old Joe did.

Then again, we could resolve the interim thing in a real hurry. We could quickly disqualify Kamala and Old Joe remove them both from office at once. Now that’s a thought I like to think.
