I Should’ve Known

Posted in Crime, law enforcement by

A startling car theft method unfolded on Inside Edition, revealing a sophisticated crime technique that bypasses traditional security measures. Criminals are now intercepting wireless key fob signals, enabling them to steal vehicles directly from owners’ driveways without breaking a window or hotwiring the car. This alarming trend demands increased awareness about modern automotive security vulnerabilities.

In my professional domain, I should have anticipated this vulnerability, and the sophisticated engineering team should have recognized it as well. Initially, I believed a simple power switch could resolve the issue. Deactivating the FOB would prevent signal transmission. Also prolonged inactivity might trigger a sleep mode. Ultimately, the program producers proposed an elegant solution: storing the FOB in a signal-blocking bag or wrapping it in aluminum foil when not in use.

I recommend sharing this important information with vehicle owners and potential buyers who use key fobs. Spreading awareness could help prevent potential issues. To manufacturers and designers of key fob systems, consider implementing user-friendly improvements that enhance security while maintaining the convenience. If this should frustrate a few car thieves, well good.

Those Getting on the Wrong Ship…

Should not be surprised if they find themselves arriving to the wrong location.

Simple. Obvious. Yet ignored by so many. For example, Memphians vote for Democrats and are surprised by the upturn in crime. They are taken aback when they have the worst schools in Tennessee.

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.

Fauci Might Not be Safe Yet

Posted in Coronavirus, Crime, Fauci by

One might think that now that Fauci has been pardoned, he is safe from prosecution. That just might not be true. The pardon has no affect outside the US.

You take, for instance Italy that was hit particularly hard. Those in Italy might be anxious to get that mass murderer in a courtroom.

If he is wise Fauci might think 2 or 4 times about where he decides to go on vacation. There might be a place or two that took his “experimenting” very seriously. They might even suggest that he visit for a while. They might even promise him a greeting committee.

Revisiting Jan 6

It’s been 4 years. I don’t know, but I suspect that some that were imprisoned have not been charged. No one, but no one did anything worthy of imprisoning past 4 years.

My suggestion to President Trump is to commute the sentences of all those arrested in conjunction with Jan 6. Then allow each to present reason for pardons. Some will be obvious and can quickly be pardoned. For instance, those who never went inside the building.

On the other hand, I think Ray Epps should be chased down by the Marshal service and investigated. Not by the FBI. They likely have a bias in the matter. Moreover, an agent should be selected away from the DC area to keep him from being tainted as well.

Finally, a special investigator should be selected to interview each of the ones who were arrested. If they were denied their rights, those responsible should, at the least be given the opportunity to resign without benefits.

When the rest see what happens, it will be less likely to happen again.

Observation of Security Cameras

Posted in Crazy Nuts, Crime by

About 2 or 3 times a year, someone will come by and try to sell me a security camera. Well, actually, they would love to sell me a complete thousand dollar security system. I don’t have the money for that. I have big car payments and a bigger insurance payments. A couple of thousand a year for my house, a couple of thousand for my car.

Maybe I should take my drill instructor’s advice and not buy things like that. Then, there would be no upkeep or insurance. Somehow, in the next few months, I will have to buy some real insurance. The tree at the corner of my house is starting to work on the foundation. It will likely cost me 2 K to bring that thing down and keep it from tearing up my home.

At any rate before you got me off subject, I tell them no. I can’t afford it. One guy got very indignant with me. I got the impression he thought I was lying to him. Like, what difference does it make. I don’t have to explain my decision to him. What in the world would make him think I owe him any kind of explanation.

At any rate, the latest salesman got me to thinking. Do the things work? I mean, if I put a bunch of cameras all over the place and someone steals something, will it help me recover my property?

That, in itself creates other questions. If the thief can find much worth steeling, I suppose I will have to tip my hat to him. I have an antitheft method that works good. I simply don’t don’t have enough to make someone want to break in.

At any rate, let’s say he breaks in and runs off with my old $100 dollar TV. Just what would be the chances of me ever seeing that particular TV again. Actually, my wife has a wedding ring he could steel. However, if he took it to a pawn shop, the guy would laugh it him. He might give him a ten dollar bill for it. It’s not gold and the stone is fake. The fake looks really nice but it’s fake. When we got married we couldn’t afford one. (That’s OK. I have a fifty year marriage instead)

So, here I am, still. Wondering how successful would I be in retrieving the TV. It makes me think about all those news reports on TV. They flash a picture up on the screen and they ask, “Have you seen this person?” “If you know this person, can you please call the police?”

Sometimes, I’ve thought about taking a copy of the photo around Memphis and see if I can find the culprit. Honest, it does make me want very badly to help. I know what it is like to have someone take things from me. It just is that most of the time, they guy has his face covered, usually with a hoody. (maybe we need to outlaw hoodies) The other half the time, if I passed the man on the street, I wouldn’t know it. I never was all that great at remembering faces, especially those I will likely never see again.

I would guess this world is full of folks as me, who isn’t good with faces.

And so, it makes me wonder, just how many people get phone calls when they put something like that on the TV. It makes me wonder, of all the times that a picture is taken of the thief, how many times is it that the thief is caught as a result?

If someone knows an instance or two when their security camera helped, maybe you could send me a comment. I don’t mean where the neighbor is caught but rather some stranger breaks in and you lose the family silver. Did you ever get it back because of the camera.

For quite a while, people steered clear of cameras. Not so much anymore. It would appear the crooks have come to the same conclusion as I have. I don’t think the things do much good.

I wish they did. Then I might buy one, just to keep people from breaking in, even if I have nothing.

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.

The Inevitable Results of a Godless People

Posted in Abuse of Power, Christian values, Crime, Elections, News media, Politcal Opinion, Religion, Salvation, School Shootings, The Clintons by

Most of those who regularly read my posts know that I am not a person who likes surveys. However, I would like one survey made of one question. I would like it asked of all criminals immediately after they are convicted. The one simple question, “Do you believe in God?”

I wonder how many would say, “Yes,” but I don’t wonder much. I would guess you would go through a month or two before you would find so much as one.

And then, people are puzzled over why the country is full of liars, thieves, child and wife beaters, and murderers. If only the parents would teach their children about God. If only they would take their children to church. If only our schools teach one hour about the Bible a week.

Don’t misunderstand me. Some very bad people come out of churches; some are even the leaders of the church. Moreover, I’m not sure but I got the impression that Al Capone and his like went to church on Sunday; regularly went to confession and had absolutely no respect for the law.

However, we do need that survey. I wonder if they would permit me to do it. More important, I wonder if they would permit me to publish it. I don’t think too many would like the outcome.

The fact of the matter is, the nation that is Godless will inevitably soon be lawless as well. Indeed, today we are a Godless and lawless society today. Truly, guns don’t kill people, but rather Godless people kill people, not the law biding Christians. To be sure, you can include the Godless politicians who are in favor of murdering the unborn, even to the point they kill the child just before birth. Why should anyone wonder when even our doctors practice murder? Why should anyone be surprised when the Ten Commandments are no longer permitted while homosexuality is permitted and and encouraged?

Where nothing is morally wrong, all is permitted, including murder.

The Split Democrats

Old Joe has managed to do something I thought was impossible. He has split the party. Part of the party is standing behind him, ready to lie and deceive for him. The other half is busy trying to figure out how to throw the man off the Democrat ticket. While, at the same time, trying to figure out with whom to replace him.

This, of course, while the individuals try to maintain and increase their individual and collective political power.

I guess all the while, it is all triggered by power. Many who are closely associated with Old Joe don’t want him to go down in flames. The rest, who have finally seen the handwriting on the wall, realize that if they have any hopes of maintaining the power are ready toss Old Joe overboard in hopes of saving the ship.

(Is that what they call a mixed metaphor? Either way, I am sure you know what I mean.)

When Will They Learn?

Posted in City of Memphis, Crime by

Just got through seeing a story on the news this morning about cars that were broken into while the owners were enjoying a Redbirds game. If I remember right, there were about thirty of them. Here’s the hitch. They paid $30 to park there. What a way for Memphis and the Redbirds to show their appreciation for going to the game.

I actually went to one of their games, years ago before the city became so crime ridden. They have a nice stadium and I did enjoy the game, but not enough to pay thirty dollars just to park my car, especially when they don’t provide any security. I spent $6 to park my car and I thought that was too much.

I think maybe, if I did go to a game there, I would park miles away and take my electric skateboard from my car to the stadium. The guy that owns the parking lot would not get my $30.

Just another observation by the official Memphis Observer. Just shows to go what happens when you let the dems run things.

Incidentally, on another point. It would seem that even the dems don’t like the current county clerk but they are having a very difficult time getting rid of her. It would seem that there are no procedures for it. Right now it looks like, unless she resigns or dies, she’s in there until her term is up. The one thing that makes me curious is, will she get reelected after all this. If there is one thing I’ve learned…never underestimate those Memphis dems.
