I-10 Fire Logics

I think it has become pretty well established that the fire that took out a large section of I-10 was set intentionally. I might point out that whoever did it chose his target effectively.

First, it is a very major artery taken by thousands to and from work every day. Second, it’s a major truck route for trucks taking cargo from the harbor to points east. Third, there is an event planned, which will likely need to be moved or canceled. Finally, the highway was elevated. That means it will take a lot of time and money to repair it.

For sure, it is just the sort of thing a terrorist would select. With a small effort and expense, the arsonist, terrorist or not, caused a lot of disruption. I suspect it was his exact purpose.

It was my suspicion the instant I heard it might be arson. Though I thought it might also be terrorists, I decided to hold off until they were sure it was arson.

Even now, there is nothing to be said for sure; however, considering the the above, it would seem to be something to look into.

Also, given the flood of folks headed north over the border, I would suspect there are many that could have done it.

Besides, even if it was not a terrorist that did it, the arsonist may still have been on the south side of the border a week or two ago.

I’m alright…It’s the rest of the world that’s messed up.

If I used that expression even once, I have used it a thousand times. It’s somewhat become a reaction to when I find out I made a mistake. If there are others around, it almost always draws a laugh or two. I figure that’s a good thing. Someone ought to benefit from my tendency to make mistakes.

It is, to be sure, a joke. Obviously I don’t believe it to be true. On the other hand, there are those who do believe it of themselves. They do things the whole world knows is wrong and they try to convince us that they did it for the good. Old Joe started driving up the price of oil on day one. It shook the world to its core, figuratively. However, he says what he did was good for us. I’m still trying to figure if that is what he believes or if he is purposely trying to destroy our economy and drive the world to WWIII.

Many are trying to bring down our form of government for communist ideas. They want to do away with the Constitution, oddly using that very document to do it. They are trying to make our society lawless oddly, using the law to do it.

Right at the top of the list, they are trying to take away our right to free speech. And, that’s right. They are using free speech to do it.

Their hope is to blind us of what their real intention is. Odd… sounds very much like Satan’s ploy. They are trying to use lies and deceit. Odd… sounds to me like the same trick Satan prefers. If someone tries to do that which is good, they try to silence and destroy him. Strange. Seems to me they use the same tricks that Satan uses.

With these folks, they really do have something wrong with them and…it is the rest of the world they would like to have as their very own to control and manipulate. Seems an awful lot like what Satan wants to do with it.

A Good Idea, I suppose

The Israelis will arrange 4 hour pauses from time to time to allow the civilians to move south. It is certainly more humane than how the Humas treated the Jews.

Still, I wonder just how many being permitted to beet feet south are really in the leadership that were instigators of all the unspeakable, horrid activities just a short time ago. I wonder how many of those getting away were instrumental in launching all those rockets, which, by the way would have killed unnumberered more if not for the Iron Dome. Let’s count it towards intent.

Incidentally, when considering all there rockets that fell short, those rockets just might have killed as many of their own civilians as the Israelis did. No way to truly know. Every time the Hamas find a dead civilian, they count 2, maybe 3.

Personally, I’d not believe any of the stats coming from the Hamas. Not only are they biased but also not very truthful. (A euphemism for liars)

Blackouts Expected

Just saw the headline. They say it is due to extreme cold. What they don’t say is that it will be aggregated by the going green folks and, of course, that old blackout specialist, himself, Old Joe.

Do you suppose Old Joe will permit more drilling so that those of us driving electric cars won’t get stranded?

Let’s see….Nope! Not going to happen. None of us will be spared, especially those of us with EVs.

Sometimes, Plans Don’t Quite Work Even When They Are Good

President Trump had things going. The economy was well on the way to recovery. Oil was flowing so well the Saudis were getting scared. Putin couldn’t make any money selling oil cause the price was too low.

The dictator in Venezuela was having problems because he couldn’t sell his oil on the world market. In less than a year, Trump would have had the leadership of Iran giving up. They were going broke.

North Korea was almost a solved problem and China was for the first time in years, backing off. The wars against Ukraine and Israel would have never happened. Putin wouldn’t have the money to go to war. Iran wouldn’t have been able to arm Hamas.

It is no wonder the dems cheated to win the election. Trump was making them look pretty sad. Which, by the way, is the one reason Trumps plans failed. The dems were more than desperate and they stole the election.

Then, of course, on day one, they started destroying all that Trump did, on purpose. They couldn’t stand to let his legacy live on.

I know that they are saying it was the cleanest election ever. However, there is one bunch of folks that know that is a lie…the DEMS! It wouldn’t have worked but for one thing. The news media was more one sided than it ever, ever was. Effectively, they were providing huge campaign funding.

A Little Disappointed

I would have thought a state with a firmly Republican government would be more likely to treat a leftist killer the same as one from the right. Color me disappointed. It appears the only reason they have withheld the recent killer’s writings is because she was a leftest, not someone from the right.

It somewhat destroys their stereotype.

Can someone please tell me why Tennessee law enforcement suddenly want to make a fast left turn?

The Impossible Dream

Other than being the title of a really nice song from “Man From La Mancha,” it is the dream of those who would like to form the idealistic world of communism. It doesn’t work. It is a desire with no destination. It can never be realized this side of reality.

Long before Karl Marx, Stalin or Mao, the attempts were made. They didn’t call it communism but it was the same. It was tried by the Pilgrims and they would have died if they hadn’t been rescued by the Indians. It was tried by a little city, I don’t remember the name of it, but it was up north somewhere near the center of the country. It didn’t work there either. For a while the city grew and flourished. Then, almost as quickly, it was abandoned. People always flee communism when they realize it’s weaknesses.

It is not my purpose to try to explain why it won’t work. I suspect that would fall on deaf ears anyway. My point is this. Those dems are trying to sell a pig in a poke. They are trying to sell you something they do not plan to deliver. Stalin, Mao, Castro, and all the rest promised communism. However, none, no, not one of them succeeded. The USSR never had so much as one day of communism, but rather a dictatorship. China today is under the strong arm of something, I know not what. however, it is not communism. If it were, everyone would live equally and I assure you the leaders are far more equal than the farmers. If you go to Castro’s Cuba, you will not find any equality. The leaders live like kings. The rest pick out a living as best they can.

The dems stand at their stages and they tell you how wonderful the world will be when they rule the world. However, I assure you, if they ever rule the world, it will turn out like Russia, like China, like Cuba. It will be like East Germany used to be. It will be a place to flee at all cost, as many East Germans did; as many Cubans did; as many Chinese do today. However, there will be a big problem. If they rule the USA, there will be no where to flee to. There will be nowhere to go to escape from the bondage they impose.

The truth is that it’s not communism they seek, but control. They want total, ultimate control over what you do, what you say and yes, even what you think. Control is what they want. Communism is only the carrot they dangle in front of you to get that control. Once they have control, they will also remove the carrot. Moreover, I assure you they will not relinquish that control easily.

You think you still have a choice. Actually you do, but not for long. If the dems win the next presidential election, it’s over. There will be nothing anyone, that is to say, anyone by God will be able to do. It is time to stop taking freedom for granted and start fighting for the 10 Amendments instead of against them. It is time to start fighting for the constitution instead of it’s destruction. There will be no backspace keys or delete keys. you decision will be final. They have their religion,one they made up. I assure you they will not allow any other.

And, of course, it is time for you to start encouraging your neighbors and friends to do the same. Remember, communism is not their goal. It is simply the means to their goal, utter control.

Faith & Credit

For years, I wondered why the dems don’t care about how far we go in debt. Then, just today, I think I might have figured it out. It just might be that they don’t care how far we go into debt.

Now that just might sound like double talk and I suppose that it is in a sense. However, think about it a minute. What if they never plan to honor it.

But they have to. It is part of our faith & credit. If we don’t honor it, our credit will be ruined. However, they can announce to the world that it’s the USA’s credit. You see, we will no longer be the USA, so we don’t need to honor that debt. Good luck on collecting from the former United States of America.

Hence, they will not have to pay back 1 dollar, not 1 penny. I wonder if the Chinese have considered that possibility. Then, on the other hand, if China incorporates the former US into China, it won’t much matter, will it? (Considering China owns most of our debt)

Out of State Prospecting

Just got a circular today encouraging me to vote for Brandon Presley for governor of Mississippi. Disregarding the content, the circular demonstrated one of my pet peeves in the world of politics. The mail was postmarked Little Rock, Arkansas.

Now, my question is, just why is someone in Arkansas trying to tell me how to vote in Mississippi.

Granted, it just might be a quirk. I mean Presley might not even know about the mailer or the organization that mailed it. Then again, that sort of falls in the area of plausible deniability. Moreover, if asked directly, he might deny the mailer. However, I am sure he would not deny the message.

Strange how that works. He gets the benefits without the liability.

Finally, I have a difficult time believing any of the literature. The dems do have a habit of twisting the truth. If Presley is truly the honest upstanding candidate he claims to be, why oh why would he ever want to be associated with a party that lies, steals and permits so much killing?

The Side Effects

Just saw an interesting story on TV. The headline basically was that Tennessee was falling short on tax projected revenues. Why should this be a surprise to anyone? Yet it is. Some people just don’t get it. When the economy is good, tax revenues will be good. When the economy goes into the tank, then so will the revenues, being as most revenues in some way, are based on trade.

During President Trump’s early presidency, the economy and revenues were up, even at the state and local levels. Then along came the virus and the economy was partially shut down. Soon after, the revenues were dramatically reduced.

Surprise, surprise. The only way to truly increase revenue is to improve the economy. True; increases in taxes will temporarily increase revenue. However, in the long term, the economy determines the revenues. When taxes are too high, it chokes the economy and discourages production, enterprise, and, of course, buying.

Certainly other factors contributed: riots, mass looting in stores, intentional increases in energy prices and increases in tax rates contributed to economic downturns.

However, I put the primary cause on Fauci, who provided economic support to the development of the China virus, as well as making one decision after the next that resulted in disaster after disaster. However, the damage that Fauci caused did not stop in our pocketbooks. Many can attest to the horrid damage in human lives as well.
