Wasted Time

Posted in Education, Liberals by

As I consider back over the years, I have decided of all the time I spent in school was woodshop in junior high. First, I have no idea why the class was required for all boys, but it was.

If maybe we were required to make bird houses or the like, I might understand. However, the first thing that was required for us was to use a planer to square a small block of wood.

About the only thing I learned in that wasted semester is that I can’t square a block of wood. By the way, neither could about half the boys in the class. That meant we got Fs in the class. You would think someone, somewhere, somehow in one of those higher offices might have figured out the uselessness of it.

Then too. It was a public school. That would be expecting too much. That would be expecting excellence in education. That is foreign to public schools.

School Choice

Posted in Communism, Education by

The argument has again come to the forefront in Tennessee. Those apposed to it used the standard argument, it will cause students to leave public education, thereby causeing public schools to lose revenue.

Let me try an illustration. Two restaurants. One run by the state and the other run by private ownership. Those running the state operated complain that folks are going to private restaurant so we have no customer. So they request the closing of the private restaurant.

Let’s keep it simple. Are we supposed to keep the students from going to the private schools because the private schools are better?

Are we to keep people from going from California to Texas, because Texas has the better government? Maybe we should start public airlines because the private airlines are better.

Of course. it is the communist’s way of doing things. Moreover, when you take the children out of public schools, it keeps the NEA and government from imprinting on the minds of children the lies they must so that they can succeed at the mind control.

Difficult as it is to Believe

Harvard and Yale have their early roots in Christianity. Just goes to show what can happen when you permit Satan to take control little bits at a time.

I suspect many of the universities have Christian origins. You will find little trace of it today. Government influences have seen to it that residuals have been removed, oddly using the 1st amendment. Christian colleges cannot accept federal funds, including for research.

The Method of the Wolf

As the wolf pack approaches the herd of buffalo they know they stand no chance against the herd. Therefore, likely to some degree by instinct, they seek to separate out the one. Generally, they look for the week one or the one that doesn’t remain close to the heard. The stragglers are the natural target of the pack.

The herd has not the intelligence to know that if they were to always charge the wolves instead of running away, the pack would have to search for dinner elsewhere. The wolf diet would not include buffalo. There is no way the pack could survive the trampling of so many hooves.

We as humans know better than the buffalo, right.

Yet, when Hitler took over Germany, he used the same method as the wolves. When he took over most of Europe, he used the same methods as the wolves. When the Bolshivics took Russia, they used the method of the wolves.

We called it the domino affect, where one small nation falls after the other. However, the truth is they were following the example of the wolves, whether or not they were aware of it. Always seek out the weak and separate. Then in days, they take over Hungary or Romania. The method failed in Afghanistan, but because of the help of the US.

Today, even at this time, the communists play the part of the wolfpack. They have imprisoned hundreds of innocent people from January 6. We, the herd, did nothing. Now what stands in the way. The herd has been scattered and we are in fear.

We live in fear of the woke and we live in fear of a justice system that is controlled by the wolfpack.

Santa Clause Is Coming to Town

It’s true. Christmas is right around the corner and the gifts will be distributed. It’s real.

However, where the song has it wrong is just who Santa Clause is. Let’s get real. The bulk of the gifts will be coming from the dems, namely Old Joe and his cohorts.

They will distribute among those too lazy to work. Some will be distributed to outfits on the dole, as Planned Parenthood. They will be distributing to government departments, such as the Department of Education, the National Endowment for the Arts, and such as the EPA.

Of course, let us not forget the money going to transportation, feeding and sheltering of the aliens. (That’s right, they really do exists and someone needs to provide for them.) Certainly, we don’t want to forget the gifts they provided to oil producing countries by cutting our production. This would include but not limited to, Russia, Iran and many wealthy Arab countries.

Yup. No bout a doubt it. Old Joe will take out his Santa suit, brush it off, put smile on, along with the suit. He will jump in his magic sleigh and make his trip world wide.

Soon, he will visit a place near you. But beware. Not only will he give the gifts, but he will also be seeking what he can. You just might want to hide that wallet of yours.

You see, the only way he can give out all the freebies is to take the money from others. Well, they can also just print it. They have proved they are willing to do that too.

What’s the Point?

Posted in Abuse of Power, Education by

Just heard a report over local news about a large percentage of students being paid to go to private schools in Tennessee instead of pubic schools.

I fail to see the point of the report. The object is not to permit more to go to private schools, but rather to permit school choice. Eventually, everyone should be given school choice. Given all the competition, public schools will either improve or disappear. Is that so bad?

What the dems and major media don’t like is multi-faceted. Mostly they don’t like losing control over what is being taught and how it’s being taught. Also, they don’t want to be exposed for their inept efforts. Finally, we are talking about a lot of money. Education is generally a large percentage of any local government. No many folks willing to give up control of that much spending.

Hope & Change

Posted in Abuse of Power, Christian values, Deceit, Education, Going Green, law enforcement, Memories, Obama, Plutocrat by

It was Obama’s saying, which likely propelled him into the White House. One might ask, well, what’s wrong with a little hope. What is so wrong with a little change.

Indeed, the thought sounds like such a good idea. But lets take a closer look. First, let’s look at the obvious flaw, that is the change. Certainly, it was more than a little change. It was massive, certainly to me. Obama care cost me 30,000 dollars. By the way, I could not afford it. The wife and I are living almost totally on Social Security. His change just almost wiped out my 401k. It also forced my wife into drawing Social Security early. If she hadn’t, it would have wiped out the remainder of my 401k.

I suspect there are many others who can site many other things. And, incidentally, other than medical office visits, we had not one claim on it. So, that 30 grand essentially all went into the circular file. Ask me if I like Obama’s change. Moreover, I am very suspicious that many others agree. I have also had a few talks with doctors who agree with me.

By the way, lest you forget, the only way they got Obama care through was by bribe, legal bribe, yes, but it was still a bribe and it was wrong. Moreover, it is proof, positive that it would not have passed on its own merit.

Now, consider my chair, a big recliner. I really like it. However, when I purchased it, I had little hope in it. At the store, I tried it out and, well, I really liked. Still, it’s a chair. The only thing I expected from it was to support me in comfort as I watched TV. I did get a little extra. I am sitting in it while I compose this post on my little hand hand held computer. So far, it has held me, for about 4 or 5 years. So far, it has not collapsed or thrown me as a wild horse. I guess, one day it might but so far, I think it will hold for a while. I HOPE it will. On the other hand, I don’t think it will fetch the mail or fix my breakfast. I have no HOPE of that.

Clearly, I had no hope of Obama doing one good thing for anyone other than himself. Obviously, he gave me not one reason to change my mind.

Near as I can tell, he didn’t help anyone else, least of all, the African-Americans. Maybe they know something I don’t. Maybe he actually did try to educate them, but education was degraded during his presidency.

Well, did he help any ethnicity while in office. Near as I can tell, the Asians are doing some better. Blacks, Latino and Jews didn’t seem to benefit from anything he did. Christians definitely didn’t benefit from anything he did. Thousands of them died in Iraq when he decided to just up an leave. I really don’t think he cares. Never heard so much as one person ask him.

Looks to me, when he promised hope and change, the promise was empty. The only one he really wanted to help was himself. He wasn’t a millionaire when he first entered politics, but he is now. Just where do you suppose all his money came from? He spent less than one term as senator, two terms as president and, poof, instant multi-millionaire.

If you think he came by it honest, you are easily deceived. Deception seems to be Obama’s specialty.

My Favorite School Subject

Daily prompt:

What was your favorite school subject

I assume this means beside physical education or lunch.

Actually I really liked science a lot, specifically physics. The concepts behind mechanical advantages, I found fascinating.

Invariably, of couse, I spent hours thinking of how I could build the successful perpetual motion machine. I quickly found out I was not alone. History is full of notable scientists who actually tried to build them. Unfortunately, in every case they failed due losses of energy, usually because of friction.

I guess the closest we will ever get to perpetual motion is when we put something in orbit. Even then, I don’t know as that qualifies. I think most satellites eventually fall from the sky.

I have also had an interest in electric motors and generators. I suppose it was somewhat connected with perpetual machines. I mean, we could use the motor to turn the motor and the generator could provide electricity for the motor. I suspect I was not the first to think of that.

The fact is that I should have worked much harder on English and especially reading. I should have worked very hard on polishing my writing. But then like most kids, I was just too smart for wasting time on that.

Not a Fan of Crowds

Daily writing prompt
Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.
View all responses

Put me in a crowd and I will head for a corner.

Actually, when I saw the prompt, I had a little laugh. People rarely are interested in anything I want to say. Moreover, much of what I hear in a crowd, I wish I had a way to unhear. (Or un see) Many crowds have folks who are drinking, and I don’t mean tea. I don’t like being around others who are drinking, even one on one.

Very few have any interest in discussing electronics, computers, Christianity or politics. Might I remind that we are cautioned about taking about religion and politics. It somewhat limits my conversation.

As usual, I could talk about the weather. As Mark Twain, said, “Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.”

I guess old Samuel Clemens never felt out of place. He seemed to always have something to say. I sure wish I had his gift of gab. It sure would be nice to have folks listen to me when explaining the plan of salvation. It would be nice if I could command the attention of thousands when I warn against the fallacies of communism.

Well, little as it is, I do what I can, even though I can’t draw a crowd.

Why the Delay?

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Christian values, Collusion, Controllers, Deceit, Education, Politcal Opinion by

It is no secret that the dems wanted to indict President Trump even as he left office. However, they had a strategy for waiting. First, if he wasn’t going to run again, there was no reason to risk the truth getting out. When he decided to run, the dems figuratively turned all their guns on him and opened rapid fire.

The second and more important reason was that it was far more effective to level the charges during the election.

One aspect they might have overlooked is that the charges could actually fall apart in front of their eyes. The egg on faces would be but a small part of their problems.

On the other hand, Trump just might have a strategy of his own. While he provides the distraction, DeSantis just might slip into office unscathed by the dems dirty tricks. That would provide a probability of a very strong president.

The truth of the matter is that any of the major Republican candidates are lightyears ahead of Old Joe…or any dem for that matter. (Sorry. The lightyear idea is a poor one, but I am sure you get the idea.)

On a side note, I saw on the news that a man is going to prison for tax evasion. My guess is, his real mistake was not having a last name of Biden.

The man is guilty of just 1 year of not paying taxes. Joe’s son, Hunter has admitted to 2 years and is likely guilty of at least 4. However, Hunter is quite safe. Not only does his dad control the justice department, but Hunter also knows where all the skeletons are not so well hidden.
