Country Clubbers, as Bad for the Economy as Democrats

Rush Limbaugh frequently critiqued the affluent, establishment-oriented wing of the Republican Party, referring to them as the “country club segment.” Many Republicans likely dismissed his characterization without fully comprehending its deeper implications. Moreover, they seem unaware of the significant and potentially detrimental impact their political and economic approaches could have on the broader national landscape, particularly in terms of financial policy and societal economic dynamics.

One of the big reasons we had problems stopping illegal immigration is because the illegal aliens drive the wages down drastically. I hope I don’t need to explain why that is so beneficial to rich Republicans; as well as rich Democrats too. Naturally, many of the rich Republicans had as much of a desire to open the borders as the Dems did.

Though I don’t know the reason, this group also seemed to be in favor of making the killing of unborn children legal. My best guess is that they didn’t want to lose elections and their power.

Donald Trump’s political rise disrupted traditional Republican Party dynamics, challenging the established country club elite by appealing directly to a broader base of supporters. His unconventional campaign and messaging resonated with voters beyond the typical Republican establishment, potentially attracting disillusioned Democrats and working-class constituents who felt overlooked by mainstream political figures. Trump’s ability to connect with a diverse range of voters fundamentally transformed the Republican Party’s, especially those who wanted to stop illegal immigration as well as the traditional power structure and electoral strategy.

As you might have noted, many of those country club crowd have left the Republican Party and began opposing the Republican Party and Trump. No one told me why but I think I have a good guess. You will likely have a good guess too when you realize the drastic decrease in inexpensive illegal labor.

Quote of the Week

One reason I wish I had a video recorder is that I would like to make my quotes direct. So, well, this is the quote as best I can remember it by Mary Katherine Ham on the Sunday news program.

President Trump’s popularity is because he keeps doing things the rest should have done long ago.

Oddly, as obvious as it clearly is, I have not heard anyone else say it, not even by myself. It’s somewhat why it’s so quotable. It’s somewhat why it should have been said long ago. And, by the way, it is somewhat characteristic of what Trump does as well as how he does it. It is how he became President and it is likely why he will go down in history as one of the best. He just keeps doing things others say cannot be done. I might also add it’s what should have been done long ago.

I mean, all the other presidents could have secured the border. We are now suffering many problems because none of the others ever tried. If they had, it would have been done. Trump proved it could be done by doing it. He embarrassed today’s power structures by doing what they called impossible—repeatedly.. One more thing. He did it while most of the rest of leadership, especially democrats; and most of media opposed him at every chance they had.

VERY WELL SAID MARY KATHERINE HAM!

Proof Positive

Old Joe kept saying he needed an act of Congress to close the border. In less than an hour after President Trump took his oath, the gates were closed. Never took one vote from Congress.

It’s proof positive Old Joe didn’t know how or he was fibbing again. If I were a betting man, I’d put my money on fibbing, though I must admit, it’s tough. The man just might not have known. They might not have told him.

Stupid Doesn’t Get It

Just how many times have you seen a baseball player do something and you ask, “Why did he do a stupid thing like that?”

I once heard a coach on TV say that when he looked for players, he said that we looked for speed. Hitting, catching, and throwing we can teach. Fast is not learned.” Before I heard him say that, I never understood why I never became a famous baseball player. Now I know.

Regardless of my shortcomings, over the years, I have leaned that another thing is needed to be a good baseball player, intelligence. Stupid doesn’t get it. When the player throws to first when he should have thrown to second, it is learned, but not totally. For sure, some players pick it up on the fly very well. Even so, occasionally, even the pros do things that are really stupid. After it’s all over, they will usually be the first to admit it.

The thing is, regardless of the talent, regardless of the speed, when a player continually does stupid things, the coach starts looking elsewhere. And here’s something else. The same thing is true of football, basketball, golf and tennis. Indeed, it is, to some degree true of most every sport.

You ever notice, quarterbacks have a tendency to be the most intelligent guys on the gridiron? I’m sure no one had to tell you. You likely figured it out by yourself. On the other hand, besides their speed and skill, the linebackers and and safeties are likely pretty smart too. Otherwise, they are likely to hear if from their coach on occasion, “Why did you do a stupid thing like that?” Actually, I suspect my remark cleans it up some.

Most sports have more than physical skills, but also strategies. Of course, from time to time, occasionally, someone slips up and they realize they have been out strategized. I know. I’ve been there. I have found myself wishing I didn’t do the stupid thing.

This is not restricted to sorts. Ask the lawyers. They’ll tell you. Most that have been at it a while have been taught a lesson or two in the courtroom. Ask the businessmen. They know it. Yup. They made a mistake or two. Ask the politicians. I have seen some of those first hand. I am sure that all of them wish they could have taken a step or two back. I’m sure you’ve seen it.

However, when a person takes the leadership of a nation in his hands, it gets serious. Old Joe opened the border. Now Kamala is stuck trying to explain it. Try is the operable word because she can’t. She won’t even try. She realizes any attempt will just make it worse. The fact is, it was one of Old Joe’s stupid things and she knows it.

Old Joe permitted, even took part in driving the prices of oil up. I don’t care what the reason. However, it allowed the Russians and the Iranians to gain great financial gains and power. It allowed them to finance the HAMAS which allowed them to attack Israel. That was stupid. It allowed Russia to attack Ukraine. I believe that most of the Israelis and Ukrainians will say that was a stupid move by Old Joe.

Now my question. After 4 years of stupid, do we really want another 4 years of it? As far as I am concerned, stupid doesn’t get it. I’m ready for someone to take over who actually knows what is going on. I mean, we’re not playing games here. We are talking thousands of lives already lost under Old Joe. It means more lives lost by Kamala, who said she’d not change a thing.

May be a Time for a Change in Strategy

Millions have been brought across the border, strictly to increase the chances for the dems. Thousands have been sworn in as citizens, so they can vote. Others will vote without the formality of citizenship. It is entirely possible they might get enough votes to turn the outcome.

Maybe it is time to change the strategy. These people have left countries to get to the US. Why should they continue to live here should they let the communist destroy this country become as their homelands. Maybe we need to point that out to them. If they let the communist destroy things here, what border will they run for then? Maybe it is time for us to start targeting ads to the illegal aliens. Maybe we need to target ads to those who have been rushed into citizenship. Maybe we need to explain it to them them.

It is not my cup of tea. Ever since I have been blogging, I have been trying to stop the rush of illegals into the US; and that has been before Obama. My words were basically, if they had guns and tanks, it would be called an invasion and we would immediately defend ourselves. However, because they have no guns, we allow them to just walk in. While they might not be armed, it is still an invasion and we need to defend ourselves, with weapons if need be.

Nonetheless, it may be too late. The invasion seems to have succeeded with the aid from within. Now, we must be realistic. We need to start an emergency education and tell them just what will happen to them and all of us if the dems win this election. I have no idea if it will work. I don’t know if it will prevent even one bad vote. However, I suspect it might be more important than any of us know to make a try at it.

Then again, I might be reading this all wrong. Maybe their goal was invasion. Perhaps their goal is to take over. If it is, is it too late to stop them?

More Inoculations

I really don’t understand it. Surely, by now they figured out the China virus vaccines don’t work. People keep taking them. The same folks keep getting the virus. (including Old Joe)

Now I noticed in the news they are trying to get us to go and line up for more shots. Maybe we don’t have to pull our a check out and pay them. However, my guess is that someone is making bundles of money off the things. Actually, I guess it’s more than bundles.

Well, I am not a doctor. I have no medical degree. In fact, I have no degree at all. But two things I noticed when I took the vaccine, I got the stupid virus and I also got big blood clots in both legs. Odd. I never had any blood clots before, in 73 years. Now I have to take some very expensive anti clogging meds and hope I don’t bleed out should I get wounded.

After all these years, I came to the conclusion that I cannot believe anything those government medical agencies say. They certainly haven’t been batting a thousand these days, not even close.

If you ask me, I’ll let you in on the secret to keeping any diseases from spreading. Stop them at the Mexican border. Don’t let those carrying that disease or any disease in. Sort of common sense. It just might amaze a bunch of folks how well it works.

It won’t surprise the government folks. They already know. They just don’t want us to know they know. It would undercut their money making schemes.

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.

To the Rescue, Not

If you are one of those willing to risk life and limb to save someone from murder, rape or theft, you really should think about it.

If that neighbor woman in that nearby apartment should be assaulted, if you go to the rescue, it might be more than you physical well being at risk. If you should hurt or kill the man threatening that helpless woman, the district attorney might decide you are the dangerous one. He could actually charge and and convict you. You could go to prison.

Even if he doesn’t get a conviction, you will still lose your fortune and you will be penniless and on the street for legal bills. And if you didn’t kill the real assailant, he will be roaming the streets free, looking for another victim.

Am I wrong? It happens and it will, possibly to you.

You need to be careful as to who you vote in as district attorney. You need to be careful of who you elect to be sheriff. Certainly you need to know the candidates for mayor and city council. These people are not running for federal office, but no one can ruin you life any faster.

Not only can they come after you for protecting yourself but for coming to the rescue of others too. If you can’t get someone in office who believes in proper and responsible defense, you just might want to leave the area. If you can’t do that, bar your doors and windows. Fortify your home and maybe your business. Then, of course, you might not want to go out for that walk on that nice day. You should just resort to the treadmill.

And if that young woman is crying out for help, turn away and plug your ears.

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.

Wicker was looking over his shoulder.

Over a quarter of the Mississippi Republicans voted against Wicker. Considering that he is the incumbent, Considering the money he put into his campaign, I’d say he did pretty poorly.

The problem is, we must wait another 6 years to do anything. My guess is, we can thank the crossover dems and rinos for what we will again have to put up with.

At least we do have one thing to hope for. Age is the ultimate term limiter. I suspect he will not run after this term.

Then again, I am old enough that I won’t likely be around to see it.
