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 Much of what they would not permit from good ethical doctors could not be published.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.

Dumb Advertising

Yesterday, I received an advertisement from Humana. Now just why should I start out like that. What is so significant? Just why is it dumb advertising?

Well, let me start by explaining just what I did with the ad. Once I saw it was from Humana, it went straight into the trash. It did not pass go. It did not collect $200. It went directly into the trash. In other words, what Humana paid on the ad and the mailing was a total waste. It did them no good. I suppose it did help Uncle Sam’s Postal Department a little, but it was a useless thing for Humana. In a sense, it was an insult.

On a day, not too many years ago, another dumb man did something really dumb. He came up with a medical system called The Affordable Care Act. There was nothing affordable about it. I could have almost paid for my new car with what I paid for it, over 30 thousand dollars. It took a big bite out of my IRA.

My wife was not yet 65 so I was obligated to pay for insurance for her, about a thousand a month, nearly twelve thousand a year for five years. I don’t need the dems doing me any more favors like that for me.

However, getting to the point. For one of those years, my payment went to Humana. That was pure profit for Humana. My wife never went to the doctor for the entire year. You would think Humana would have liked to keep us on for a few more years like that. They didn’t. At the end of the year, they dropped us and we had to go to another company, a more expensive one.

Now, it would seem, for some reason they want us back as customers. Now just what do you think the chances of that are, especially since she is now on Medicare.

If there is one thing dumber than Humana sending ads to us, it would be us thinking of doing business with Humana. Nope! Not going to happen. I’m not that dumb. They got their 12 grand from me. They’ll just have to settle for that. We don’t want their help. We don’t need their help. Just one thing worse than their help, Obama’s help.

One more little note, Obama Care would not have passed without the support of AARP. Don’t have any use for that liberal outfit either. Never will. The best thing they can do is to disappear. The only thing they are good at is taking bribes.

I Was Just Curious

From the time I was seven, I was brought up near Disneyland. Actually, that’s not 100% true. The theme park was just an orange grove at the time.

Yup. For some time, when we passed the spot, the remark was made, “That’s where they’re building Disneyland.” Perhaps the one thing that was most visible was the Peter Pan pirate ship.

The transformation that followed was simply unimaginable. The area around Disneyland went from orange trees to hotels, motels, restaurants and parking lots.

The whole Disney empire exploded as well. The studio turned out one huge success after success. The theme park grew in size and attendance.

First time I attended, it was about 3 or 4 dollars a person. If you didn’t go on the rides, that was it. Most, however, bought books which included admission, a few each of A through E tickets. The A tickets, well, most used about half of them. The prize tickets were the E tickets. Invariably, most bought extra E tickets.

For a while it actually caused a frequently used expression, “Well, that was an E ticket,” implying it was a really good experience.

Well. Things have changed and they have changed. Just getting into the park is horribly expensive. I don’t know how people afford it.

Just out of curiosity, I looked it up on line. First, I had a difficult time determining what it costs for 1 day. All the quotes I saw were for three days or for multi-park costs. It seemed to me a classic up salesmanship.

It is as if, if I want just a day in the park, then they have no interest in me. Well, I did find the cost, sortof. It changes, depending on the time of the year.

Well, they may not have much interest in me. The feeling is mutual. Ever since Walt Disney died, the whole empire has been taking a dive, big time. Their movies are failing. Their park attendance is slipping and even ABC is having problems.

It’s sort-of what happens when companies go woke. It’s sort of what happens when they produce children’s movies with adult subjects and inappropriate material in them.

Moreover, they seem to lack originality. They keep redoing old movies with a woke touch. It just really doesn’t work. Most parents won’t put up with it.

It’s showing up on Disney’s bottom line and they just don’t get it. It would seem they believe that if they keep trying, that round peg is going to go though that square hole.

Training and a Good Education

Posted in Abuse of Power, Being woke, Biden, Compromise, Deceit, Education by

Used to work on computers. One day I went into an office where the woman was having problems. She was properly frustrated and concerned she wasn’t going to get her job done. I listened to her complaint and then fixed the problem in less than five minutes.

Amazed at how quickly I fixed her computer she remarked, “You made that look easy.”

I shrugged and replied, “It is…when you know how.”

Through the years, I considered the situation many times. Maybe I should have taken longer. I should have gotten a couple of books out and did this and that and the other thing. I could have made the problem look very difficult. I could have taken two hours. Likely the woman would have thought more of me and, oddly thought I was better at my job. But that’s not me. I just don’t do things that way.

The fact is that it was, for me easily resolved. It’s what happens when a person is provided some good training and education. A good carpenter with the right tools can generally put together the frame of a 1500 square foot house in a day, two at the most. I know carpenters who have. Okay, he will have to sweat a little but he doesn’t work in an air conditioned environment as I did.

The sewer line went bad at our house, an unpleasant thing at best. The plumber came out and replaced it in about 6 hours. If I’d tried to do it myself, it would have been far less pleasant.

The point that I am trying to make is that training and education are extremely important for us all, no matter what line of work we go into. It makes the difficult easy and the impossible manageable. That’s true from the burger flipper to the doctors and lawyers. It is why society uses the apprentice system. Better to learn from someone who knows than to discover stuff on our own.

But then you knew that already. I didn’t have to tell you. Maybe I did help to emphasize it for you bit. Illustrations are good for that sort of thing.

Now, maybe it’s time we tell our politicians, representatives, and yes, especially, those who run our schools. Maybe they need to concern themselves less with gender and more with reading, writing and arithmetic. Incidentally, maybe it would help to provide an education about our true history and economics. A good sound science foundation wouldn’t hurt either. It’s all pretty important. It makes the difficult easy. On the other hand, that gender stuff, all it will lead to is grief, for everyone.

Incidentally, education is one of those things we should not compromise on, and yet we do every day. With the money our school systems get, our children should be getting the best education in the world and they aren’t.

Controllers

I don’t exactly know why it is but there is always an element of society that likes to be in control. Throughout history, we have had our pharaohs, kings, tzars, emperors, casers and on and on. Invariably, they have two things in common. They say they have the good of the people in mind and they always have huge egos. In some cases, they proclaim themselves to be gods and frequently do all they can to live eternally. (Not with much success)

Well, actually, they have two more things in common. They love to have absolute control over the entirety of their realm, and they want their realm to include the entirety of world.

Hitler and Mussolini had dreams of world dominance. Naturally, had we lost the war, the three empires would eventually have to fight it out to determine if we all would speak German, Italian or Japanese. As controllers, they would have never been willing to share.

It seems as one controller goes down to defeat another stands ready willing and able to take over. Here lately, they’ve been coming at us in bunches. Even before Hitler, Stalin was ready to take his position in history. We finally deal with Hitler and Mao shows up on the world stage.

Then, there are the dozen, or so mini dictators who kept popping up. They showed up in Central and South America. They tried to seize control of Africa. Then, while we drive one dictator out of Cuba, we find out we just installed another. I’m sure the Cuban’s appreciated that. Of course, Castro said it was for the good of Cuban people. I think that was a lie and I suspect there are few Cubans that would agree.

Now, we have Putin, the man that snatched monarchy out of the immature democracy that preceeded him. At least the man is honest. He’s not doing it under the premise of creating a utopian society where all are equal. (You notice, always these utopias always have people who are more equal than others.)

All the folks like me just want to live out our lives in peace. The problem is that every time we turn around someone else comes along and starts a war with us, of course, promising peace and equality.

The Bible tells us that there will be a man who will be successful in taking total control of the world. He will promise peace and prosperity. For a while, there will be peace but not for long. The man will bring war, hunger and a horrible economy. The average family will not be able to purchase a loaf of bread. There will be disease and I would suspect riots. Not many will sit by under these conditions and do nothing.

For seven years the man will be the ultimate controller. At the end of the seven years God will put an end to it. He will put Satan and the man away for a thousand years. During that time, Christ will rule this world. The controllers popping up and taking control will cease. Jesus will see to it.

For sure, you do not want to be around to see those seven years. They will be the worst seven years on this planet.

There is a way to avoid it. Accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Before this all happens, Jesus will take those who are saved out of this world. We who are born into the Kingdom of God will be with Jesus through the whole thing. The suffering will only be for those who refuse to accept Jesus as their savior.

Maybe, possibly sounds like a good idea to accept Jesus as your savior, the earlier the better.

As for those controllers. They will get everything they have coming to them, including the devil. You certainly don’t want to be counted among them.

Controllers in Control of the Churches

Posted in Biden, Christian values, Crime, Deceit, January 6, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Liberals, Obama Care, Politcal Opinion, Religion, responsibility & irresponsibility, Social Media, The Clintons, Uncategorized by

It is no new idea of mine that it is time for our churches to rid themselves of control by DC. One might ask, “How is Washington controlling our churches?” By the tax-exempt status. The law says that if the preacher speaks on politics, then they are in danger of losing their tax-exempt status. Therefore, they don’t speak on politics. Therefore, DC controls the subject from the pulpits. It is the same way that Washington controls the schools, the speed limits and who knows how many other things.

But, if we give up our exempt status, then people will stop giving to the church. They will go to other churches. Sounds just exactly like what they want us to say. Hence, I say, DC has control of the churches. Right now, it is in a minor way. However, I suggest it will only get worse, not better.

Moreover, I don’t think God likes the idea of Old Joe controlling what is said from the pulpit. If God directs the preacher to speak on the subject, regardless of the subject, Joe really ought not have any say.

Next, do they call abortion a political issue. Already, it is getting difficult to bring up homosexuality, though the Bible makes it quite clear that it is not political. What happens when Old Man Joe fusses for churches speaking about January 6. The instant a preacher says those imprisoned should be pardoned, bang, there goes the tax status.

After a while, the line between politics and religion will be blurred more and more through time. Better that we lie down the gauntlet now. Tell them, it’s First Amendment territory. They have no business telling us what we preach or when we preach it. It is called freedom of speech. It’s called freedom of religion. It’s not called Remote control by DC by improper taxation.

We might lose some folks from the pews. Maybe it is better.

Then again, those churches that don’t mind receiving instruction from DC, then, by all means, say nothing about politics. Say nothing about abortion. Say nothing homosexuality. Careful about what say about crime and law enforcement. Mostly, don’t say a word about the candidates and what they believe. If we take money, then it’s not legal.

As my aside. Bear in mind, there are churches that have no problems maintaining their tax-exempt status while talking about politics, politicians and even encouraging politicians to speak from their podiums. They teach what the dems teach and they have no difficulty in blatantly disobeying the law. The dems have no difficulty blatantly ignoring the disobedience. And of course, one must be very careful about pointing this out.

Why Object?

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Deceit, FOC, Lawyers and Representation, News media, Politally Correct, Psaki, Reporters, Socialists, Twitter by

A federal judge made a decision against Old Joe and his cohorts. No more can they meet and agree as to what speech to allow or block.

Now, why should they object…that is unless they are using the social media for limiting our free speech.

Now, let’s see. Isn’t it against the first amendment to limit our speech even if it is indirect?

I think it is. I think a federal judge just agreed with me.

Now. Just how is it that we are to be compensated for all the past damage caused by Old Joe and his socialist comrads.

More importantly, how do we keep keep the socialists from finding another way around the first and most important amendment.

Another Word on Responsibility

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Deceit, Fear, Gathering false infomortion, Gun Safety, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Reporters, responsibility & irresponsibility by

Just now heard a joke on the radio. It was supposedly Hunter Biden on the phone, who said, “Say, Pops. Have you seen my laptop?”

Of course, it was not Hunter Biden who was speaking, but it was Hunter who lost his laptop, his gun and “forgot” to report income for two years. Considering that’s likely not a tenth of it, I think we can assume that he is the epidemy of irresponsibility. This was a man who, with the help of his Pops, became an officer in the military. Now let me see. Aren’t military officers supposed to be responsible? I certainly would not want him as my commanding officer. I actually don’t think many would. Certainly not in battle.

So. When we need a person to point out when we want an example of irresponsibility, he’d be the first one I’d think of, he and his Pops. And, of course, all the while, the reporters keep turning a blind eye. That’s irresponsibility too.

A False Statement

Posted in Biden, Border wall, Crime, Deceit, FOC, Immigration by

Certainly, just because a statemen is true on the surface doesn’t mean it’s effectively true. I heard a statement person on the news today say that shootings are up this year over last year. Sorry. I don’t have cable anymore so I couldn’t rewind it to get the specifics. (can’t remember the idiot’s name that said it, but I would like to thank him for providing the example)

The thing is, I believe him. I’d guess shootings and deaths by guns is likely up this year by five to ten percent. What the man failed to mention was that prosecution and convictions of gun crimes are down. Go figure.

It all goes back to the basics, if you don’t punish people for committing crimes, they will continue to commit them. Even more, more people will commit them.

Then, on the other side of the coin, prosecutors more and more are going after those shooting in self-defense.

It’s no wonder gun crime is going up. They have created the gun criminals paradise. They get to shoot at us and we don’t get to shoot back.

It’s what I call the perfect example of using the truth to deceive. Using the truth for deceit is the most effective way of deceiving. If he had lied, we would have known it quickly. So, he lies not. He just withholds the truth. Maybe it would be a good idea to put the criminals in prison. That way gun crime, all crime would decrease.

Just off hand, I wonder if he ever checked to see if maybe all crime has increased. I suspect it has, but it doesn’t suit his purpose to address that. That fact would get in the way of his agenda to remove guns from us all.

As a side inquiry; I wonder just how many of those shootings were committed by illegal aliens that Joe invited over the boarder or by people in the drug or human trade that has increased from the open border policy.

BUILD THE WALL

Not in My Lifetime

Posted in Being woke, Christian values, Deceit, Liberals, Pride, Religion by

Channel ten is the local station for PBS. I do watch it from time to time. They do have two or three good shows. Although here lately, it’s getting rarer. Then too, they like to preach to me about climate change. Not that it matters but I would suspect the folks that run that network generate a lot more carbon dioxide in an hour than I do in a month. I likely use less water and I certainly don’t take up nearly as much space in my little 900 square foot home. I really don’t think they have any right preaching their message at me. They are the ones who need to take their own advice.

Nonetheless, they like to ask me for contributions. That is not going to happen. Certainly not while they try to convince the world of that garbage. Now, here lately, they’ve gotten on that homosexual related binge, the one where they uses up almost all the letters in the alphabet. If I were to give one dime to any outfit that preached that stuff as normal, God would be completely justified in taking me off this planet immediately.

Why should I give anyway. Ignoring the homosexual thing, they don’t have any programming worth it. What they need to do is just simply go commercial. Then, if they were really smart, they would know better than to put stuff like that on TV. Look at what it did to Budweiser. People don’t like seeing things like that. It’s not just me. I’m not the only one complaining. Why do you think they are losing the public funding so fast? People do have objections and they don’t like their money squandered as they do. They ought to figure it out as I’m sure the contributions are dropping. I’m sure their audience is shrinking as well. If it continues, they will just simply disappear, they will simply fade away. It won’t hurt my feelings.

Why should I contribute one dime to any organization that hates God the way they do. I know they hate God because of what they say and because of what they do. If they liked God, even a little, they wouldn’t talk like that and they wouldn’t act like that. They are openly and actively rebelling against the Him.

As for me, I’ll have no part of it. Believe me, if the stations were to be dropped tomorrow, we wouldn’t miss it. Those shows that are good will find their way onto other platforms. If they don’t, they must not be that good.

If they really want my support, they will need to change what they say and what they do. My guess is, that is not going to happen, not in my lifetime.
