3 Seconds

I have heard the definition of a millisecond as the time from when the traffic light turns green to the time when the person behind you honks.

Perhaps that is a little exaggeration, but to many of us it seems a small one.

Today I would like to provide you with an illustration of three seconds: the time between a shooting and when the FOCs start talking about gun control.

To be sure, I don’t like the idea of bringing up the subject within a day. I’d prefer to keep my trap shut for a week or so. First, it gives time for those affected to recover a tad. There is no since hitting them with a one, two blow. First it is the loss of loved ones and then the onslaught of the media. Then of course, the occupier of the Oval Office speaks only a few words of comfort while he starts spewing the importance of imprisoning firearms.

I didn’t watch all of his speech, but I would suspect that little was said about the man that did the shooting, only about the gun he used. It is getting to the point I don’t like listening to Joe’s speeches. In the first place, they aren’t his words or even his thoughts. someone else is pulling the strings and making the man’s mouth move.

In the second place, the words are very predictable. Finally, the man doesn’t care when people die. He proved that a long time ago when he opened the border permitting the poisoning of over 100 thousand. His purpose is to control us and taking our guns is one of the requirements toward that goal.

3 seconds tells me that they have no empathy for any of the victims or their relatives. The tragedy is just an event to take full advantage of… short and long term. No doubt, we will be reminded of it every time someone else does any shooting, unless of course it is in Chicago or New York and it is black on black or brown on brown. Then, it will be totally ignored.

Finally, let’s remember one thing. Those who do the shooting do not respect life. If they did, they would not shoot people. Indeed, they’d not kill with any weapon. Therefore, let us teach respect for life in our homes, in our schools, in the media and from our governments of every level. Let’s make sure that everyone knows that people are more than just another form of animal life.

As an aside, let’s stop talking politics within 3 seconds of the next shooting, please. We really don’t need or want that. Let’s let the grieving families grieve a minute or two. This, in its own way shows respect too.

The Tragedy of Ignorance, Part I

Ever made a decision and then later say, “I wished I knew that?” I have. Difficult though it is to believe, I’ve actually done it more than once. Don’t let it get out, but it’s happened to me more times than I can remember.

A few times the result is permanent and I am still paying the price. In some cases it’s physical; in other situations, it’s emotional.

So much, I’d like to forewarn others. The problem is, no matter some will not pay attention. To be sure, I must plead guilty to ignoring the wisdom imparted to me.

When I was young, I was admonished to learn from my mistakes. Certainly, that is a good thing. We certainly don’t want to smash the same with the same hammer twice, let alone 3 or 4 times.

However, as wise as that may be, isn’t it better to learn from the mistakes of others. That is to say, when we see the other guy whack his thumb, maybe we should take care not to smack ours.

Yet we have a nation full of those who see others become addicted to drugs, they still think they will be able to maintain control over it. Then, a while later, they become the example that still others ignore.

Then, of course, the one thing said is “If I only knew.”

It is the tragedy of ignorance. Moreover it’s willful and repetitive. I used the example of drug addiction, but it happens in a hundred other ways as well.

Not only that, but it is also practiced by society. Let’s face it. How many today are saying, “If I only knew, I’d have never voted for Joe.” Perhaps one of those was a very intelligent man, Elon Musk. At least he has repented but it is a little late. Hopefully, when it comes time to vote, our society will have learned from the mistake.

Then again, am I asking too much?

Far Right?

One should not lump those who follow President Trump in with the “Far” right. To put 70 million people in the category of the fringe elements is incongruous. Technically, 70 million people cannot be on the fringe by definition. For if the movement contains 70 million, it is not a fringe but a major sector, that is at least nearly as many as those who voted for Joe. (As a note, as I said before, he does not deserve to be called president. He is a liar, a killer and mostly, a puppet. See prior posts.)

Moreover, let me remind one and all, that Hitler, who is considered by many as extreme right was really a socialist. In German, the word socialist is in the acronym NAZI. Trump was neither far right nor a NAZI. The NAZIs hated the truth and burned books. Trump was indeed the victim of such treatment. Anyone who spoke well of him, anyone who suggested that the election was improper gets immediately canceled. That is the way of the socialists, rather communist or NAZI. It is the way of those who would be royalty.

Let me post this reminder, rather a fraudulent election or not, there were irregularities and there were laws that were broken. It is not wrong to point this out. Indeed, it is wrong to ignore them as the FOCs and RINOs did.

Virtual Fingerprints

The FOCs would like very much to have us believe their lies while hiding the truths.

The devil, that is Satan would like very much for us to believe his lies while hiding God’s truths, lest men learn the truth of the plan of salvation and be saved.

For those with their eyes open to the truth, it would appear that Satan’s fingerprints are all over the methods of the dems.

Example in point: there is a man, a congressman who stood and repeatedly said he had solid proof of the Russia collusion. Yet, today we have yet to see that proof. Looks like a lie to me. It’s not just a statement of ignorance, but a statement made for the purpose of deceit. Moreover, partially based on this lie, a president was impeached. Now that the lie is exposed, not so much as a hint of an apology from the liar. There is now hint of remorse. Indeed, you confront the man today, he will not admit to the untruth. Indeed, he just might repeat it. Sounds to me as if it has Satan’s fingerprint to me.

If I am wrong, the man owes it to us and the nation to bring forth his proof. But he won’t. For he has no proof and he knew this from the start. Therefore he stands before us one of Satan’s great tools and those who help him aids the devil.

Wray Says Police Under Attack!

Where has he ( FBI Director Wray ) been for the last 2 years? Did someone or something awaken him?

I would guess, most likely, it just seems it has become that his previous stance might result in mass democrat losses at the midterm. Moreover, he just might want to hold onto his position. To be sure, he will not want to suffer the disgrace of his forerunner.

Who knows? He just might want to pretend to be a good law man. I wonder if that’s even possible.

Unmasking Masks

It would seem that, with exceptions, masks have become optional. Maybe, soon, they will be history.

It does not surprise me. If there was a reason to wear masks, they have had two years to prove it. No one did. On the contrary, I have heard reports of studies disproving their effectiveness.

I guess that was the reason for the judge’s ruling. I guess that is the reason the decision was not contested. I would suspect it won’t be long most of us will be maskless henceforth.

Next, hopefully, the mandatory vaccines will fade into obscurity. Then, maybe they will start allowing effective treatments. Seems to me that there are a few we already know of that work. There are even a couple inexpensive ones.

Just Change the Channel

Whenever people complained about TV adult programming, the argument they constantly heard was, “Just change the channel.” Or of course there was, “Your TV does have and off switch, right?”

I never did buy into any of it. I have my reasons, which I made known in the past and will make known in the future. However, my ire is aimed in a different direction today.

When the schools start teaching adult subjects to the third and fourth graders; when the subject for the day for first graders are private body parts, just how is it that we switch the channels? Just how is it that we turn it off?

Worse yet, frequently the schools hide such things from us? Just what do we do when Gov.ED decides we don’t know how to raise our kids and take them from us?

It is yet another attack on the American families. It is yet another attack on the American way of life. It is yet another attempt by the socialists to take over. To be sure, God will deal with these genuine creeps. However, look at the damage they will do in the meantime.

Debris !

After our recent snow, our trees lost several limbs. In itself this wasn’t the half. Some of them, some of the biggest ones landed on my storage shed. What a mess. Oh, yes, a couple of them totally mutilated my gate, which cost me me $200 and a couple of afternoons.

The steel shed, though it is now useless, did protect everything inside from physical damage. I am now considering 3 or 4 options to replace it. The thing is, no matter, I must first remove the ton, literally, of debris on and around it.

I looked here and there for some assistance, but it is to small a disaster to call FEMA. It’s one of those in between things. It’d be, maybe better had it been worse. (Now figure that irony)

So, every now and then, when I feel like it and weather permits, I take my rake, shovel and electric chainsaw out and work until I can’t. At 72, that’s not long.

For those that think I’m complaining, I’m not.

I saw a middle-aged man shoveling debris in Ukraine. He has every right to complain. He has a right to complain about Putin and his army. He has a right to complain about politicians who can and should have helped, but are more concerned about climate change. He had a lot to complain about.

Instead, he goes about his task. He is possibly feeling the pains of loss of loved ones and/or friends. He might possibly be wishing someone had sent more weapons and planes. It is not likely, but possible he wished the dems hadn’t cheated on our election. Even he likely knows that there wouldn’t be a war if Trump had been in the Oval Office. He would know that because Putin waited for Biden. Only then was there war.

No, I don’t complain about a little weather. There are many things that are far worse.

Let’s All Park Our Cars

The newsman asked, “What happens if gas goes upto 8 or 10 dollars a gallon?”

The man replied, “I guess I park my car walk or take the bus or train. “

That would seem to be the answer for most of us. To be sure, that is certainly the desire of the FOCs. They have said as much.

On the hand, you know the FOCs won’t park theirs. I would suspect they won’t park their planes or yachts either. They are privileged by power and wealth.

So, how will you feel when they ride while we walk?

As usual, here is my side note. Good luck selling your car while everyone else is selling theirs.

2nd note. When people park their cars, less cars will be built. That is bad news for those that build cars.

It Would Seem That Some Consider Crime a Laughing Matter

Recently, when Biden’s press rep., Psaki was asked about crime, she first laughed at the question about Biden being soft on crime. Then, she plead ignorant when she said she did not understand the question. She said she did not understand the “soft on crime” thing.

Just in case she does not read this, just in case someone does read this who can speak to Psaki, this is a quick rundown on the meaning.

  1. The border
    1. He helped and encouraged over a million people to break our immigration laws. To be sure he has invited them, provided help for them on arrival and provided transportation to the city of their choice… all illegal.
    2. He has assisted in the human trafficking, including prostitution, slave labor and to a lessor degree, murder. There is more than one body that has turned up near the border…both sides.
    3. He has assisted in smuggling of drugs and guns.
    4. He has assisted in helping known felons to return to the US, permitting them to continue their killing sprees.
    5. He has permitted foreign agents to infiltrate our country, making it easy for them to cause harm by murder and sabotage.
  2. Encouraging the refunding of police. (His word, reallocate. Same same.)
  3. Using no-justice department to go after conservatives and parents improperly while ignoring the crimes by dems. (Incidentally, where are those swift trials for those held for Jan 6. It has been over a year and I haven’t seen even one trial start. Many have been held without being charged.)
  4. Then too, what happened to all those in the no-justice department that have dreamed up all those false charges about “Russia, Russia, Russia. These people presented false documents and I haven’t seen so much as one of them receive a slap on the hand. That is why I call it the no-justice department.

To be sure, none of this is anything to laugh about. However, it would seem some think it is funny.

One more important thing. As the pressure has built, they are suggesting we use federal funds for the police. Bad idea. They were de-funded locally. The funding should be re-established at the local level. I don’t like the idea of federal funds getting into local law enforcement. Too many strings attached to federal money.

Also, the funding is just a small part of it. We need to straighten out the bond system and the district attorneys. Finally, respect and local support needs to be reestablished. The federal government has no power over this other than to provide the proper encouragement. They helped to destroy the local systems. They should help to straighten them out.
