Out of State Prospecting

Posted in Christian values, Deceit, Elections, FOC, Mississippi State Govenor, Politcal Opinion by

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?

What do I Remember?

Posted in A Little About me, Christian values, Elections, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Memories by

What major historical events do you remember?

I am 73. All of them. Okay. A small exaggeration. Just most of them.

Seems to me, I already wrote a post remotely on this subject, titled, “Remember the Alamo.” My contemplation was that we don’t. Not really. Many of us saw the horrid things that happened on 9/11 and yet all too quickly, it all fades from our memories. I know this because we permit aliens to swamp our border personnel to the point where they serve little purpose.

If we really remembered 9/11, we would be sure to catch and check everyone trying to get into this country. Even at the state that the border is in, they are sure that there are those who have gotten into this country who would love a repeat of 9/11 and worse.

Yes, I do remember many shootings, in our schools, our malls and even military bases. And yet the dems let the criminals out on the streets without bond, soon after performing all manor of serious crimes, all in the name of equality, not equal, mind you, but equality.

I remember a time when kids mostly had two parents, the movie playing at the local theater had no rating and no one was shooting up the schools. You suppose we did something wrong. You suppose we should turn around and go back to whence we came? You suppose we should start allowing God in our schools. Just perhaps we should say our prayers before rather than after the disasters. Maybe we should be more careful as to what we permit Hollywood to put on the big screen.

Just maybe, it would be a good idea to tame the commercials a little. In my youth, those selling bras resorted to models wearing the bras on the outside of clothing so that they could show them on TV. Children have new words added to their vocabulary these days, such as ED, and new ways of using words, such as performance enhancing.

Of course we can change channels simply turn off the TV before such commercials. It just is do you suppose they can issue warnings a minute or so before airing a commercial with adult content, as they do with programs? Then again, maybe TVs could be made where the parents could disable commercials with adult content.

It is a different world today, with many improvements. Then again, maybe we should not have made some of those changes. Maybe the world would be better. Maybe it would be safer if the kids all had two parents, one male, one female. Just maybe God knew what he was doing when he made it that way.

The Lessons of Gary Warren Hart

Posted in Biden, Christian values, Elections, President Trump by

Few remember who Gary Hart is. To jar my memory, I even had to look him up on the internet. However, I do remember the history. Moreover, I am sure the democrats remember the lesson of that day.

First a brief reminder for one and all just who Gary Warren Hart is and was. In 1988 he was the forerunner for the Democrat party for president. It really looked as if it was almost a done deal. The former senator had passed on seeking another term as Colorado senator so that he could make his run at president. He had the right background. He was a graduate of Yale law school and divinity school. He had a history in the senate that drew the proper attention of the right people

His campaign was doing oh so well. Then, suddenly, it took a nose dive. It was reported that he, a married man was having an affair with a woman, Donna Rice. Things were said. Things were done to try to save his run at presidency. Finally, he saw the handwriting on the wall. He withdrew. And so it was that Dukakis lost in a landslide to George Bush senior.

Now that we remember the basic history, let’s look at the lessons learned by the dems. First of all, never again did they face the problems of morality. Right up front, they admit they they have none. They don’t care what kind of moral background their candidate has, they will stand behind him no matter how many affairs he has. In fact, I suspect that they would permit a man to run as a woman or a woman to run as a man. To them and their candidates, nothing matters. Moreover, it doesn’t seem to matter to those that vote for them. They have gotten their constituency lined up in lock-step behind them.

The second lesson that they learned, and by far the more important one, make sure the republican affairs get exposed, even if there are none. They saw how fast the support for Hart faded. They stood back and looked and said, “You know what? That just might work for us.”

And so it is that in every election since, or judge appointment, they have done a complete and total examination to see what they can find in their past. And they always find something, even if there is none. They have plenty of money to invent something.

You want a woman to have an affair with Clarence Thomas? No problem. Within days they find one and they likely didn’t even have to pay her much. The woman did not like Thomas and she made that clear. Did they have any proof? Who needs proof? All they need is an accusation.

In some cases, the person just might be guilty. The instant that a person in good standings starts to speak up against anything the dems hold sacred, they search out the person back to kindergarten. And, as I said, they lay it on.

Nowadays, if a person plans on running for any Republican office, they need to start thinking about it in preschool. No telling where they will go, how much they will pay to find something the person did that was, oh so unforgivable.

They have actually accomplished 2 things with this approach. First, anyone that dares run for public office gets exposed for his or her past, even if they have no past. This, of course forces them to withdraw or run crippled.

The second thing it does is that it keeps people from running. They see the damage the dems have done to others and most folks just don’t want to have anything to do with it. Let’s face it, the dems really liked President Trump, until he was president. Then they got busy digging up anything and everything. So far, after almost 8 years, they have presented nothing, no proof that he has done anything wrong. Even the woman that claims she had the affair with him was not able to prove it. And by the way, she disobeyed the law by coming forward.

Actually, any man that can stand up to that much for that long must be a man of real character. Either that, or those the dems have investigating him are real bumblers.

Going back to my main point. Let’s remember that the dems have learned the lessons of Gary Hart. Let’s remember that not all accusations leveled on Republicans are true. Secondly, let’s let that little incident in second grade be forgotten. There just aren’t that many of us that have perfect pasts. We are going to need to ignore some of those 30 and 40 year old skeletons.

By the way, some have actually reformed over the years. You might remember that Reagan started out as a Democrat. Better to look at what a person is than what he was.

The Primary Requirement to Win

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Elections, Politcal Opinion, Socialists by

Over the years, I have heard a number of things about winning.  The football coach Vince Lombardi said, “Winning isn’t everything.  It’s the only thing.”  It might not be the most frequently quoted quote, but I suspect it might be one of the top ten.  In truth, we will never know how many times he was quoted unofficially, by both by coaches and who knows how many others.  Just maybe it was quoted by a few marines.

Certainly, for the marine out there facing the enemy 3 or 4 hundred yards away, it is very real.  For if the Marine doesn’t win, he will very likely die.

If I were to prepare a list of things a soldier needs to win, I would certainly include the will to win right up there at the top.

If the soldier has no will to win, the enemy just gained an edge that cannot be perceived.  However, the will to win doesn’t start the day the soldier marches off to war.  It begins long before.  For sure, he must undertake a lot of training.  He must whip himself into top condition.  His ability to outrun, out-jump, out shoot and even out fight the enemy hand-to-hand are all oh so important.

However, it even begins before the training.  The will to win starts in the hearts of those who will be sending the soldier off.  How much time and money will be put in training him?  How much money will be spent to arm him?  Finally, and most important, how much will the win be impeded?  That is to say, what kind of rules set which he must follow?  Is he going to have to wait for the enemy to grab his weapon before he is able to use the rifle on him?

What limits will be put on our side, knowing there will be no limits put on their side?  What limits will be put on the ability to gather intelligence?  If all we can do is ask, we might as well give up before we start.  If we have to make sure that we not killing a civilian before we shoot, the war is lost before it is begun.

The primary requirement to win at anything is the will to win.  It is why the runner strides just a little harder as he approaches the finish line.  However, when a man goes out to do battle with the enemy, finish lines just don’t seem to be all that important.

Frequently, the objective of the marine is to shoot the other guy before he shoots you.  That is true weather in a fox-hole or in a jet fighter.  It is true weather in a rowboat or cruiser.

And, believe me.  Those that have the greater reason to win have a very big edge.

During WWII, we had the reason to win.  It is why Truman ordered the dropping of the bombs on Japan.  Incidentally, they had the will to win too.  If they had the bomb, they most certainly would have used it on us.

In Luke 14:28, The Prince of Peace was heard to say, “Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider weather he is strong enough with 10,000 men to encounter the one who is coming against him with 20,000?”

The truth is, once the battle is enjoined, it is too late to consider such things.  Once the first shot is fired, as Coach Lombardi said, “Wining is the only thing.”

Moreover, the quicker it is over, the fewer who will die or be wounded.  It is the long lingering wars where there is no commitment where the casualties mount.

Then, quite frequently, at the end, those who are not completely committed are the ones who will lose.  For those who are truly committed will not give up… not as long as they have the means to fight.

It is a crying shame, Since President Truman, all dems have been more committed to winning elections than winning wars. They fight for a while and say, well, guess we can’t win that one. We need to withdraw… immediately if not sooner. If we have to leave a few Americans behind, sorry about that.

Flag Waving

Posted in Abuse of Power, Border wall, Cancel Culture, Communism, Communist Takover, Crime, Deceit, Elections, FOC, Immigration, Lawyers and Representation, Liberals, Politally Correct by

They are coming to America, as the song title says. However, the flag they wave is not the Stars and Stripes. Instead, they prefer the flag of the country from which they come.

Repeatedly, the dems point out that we are a nation of immigrants. True, but always before, the immigrants let go of their old flag, and country; and took up their new flag, and new country.

I don’t know when it changed, but there was a time when dual citizenship was not permitted. If anyone knows the benefits of split allegiance, please let me know.

As Jesus said, a man cannot serve two masters. I do believe that goes to nations as well. For when the time comes for decisions, do you decide for the Stars and Stipes or for your former colors. To be sure, the decisions just might confront you each time you enter a voting booth. Are you, for sure going to vote for the good of the US, or will you maintain your ties to your prior country? Just which country will benefit from your vote?

Which flag gets waved? Which flag gets saluted? In my book, a person ought not gain citizenship until they are ready and willing to put down their former colors.

This is greatly amplified in Congress. There is a Constitutional requirement for the president to be a native born American. It is a shame that there isn’t such a requirement for both houses of Congress. This very day we have people in our Congress who wave foreign flags and they are proud to do it.

There’s just some wrong about that. To whom do they owe their allegiance? For whom do they cast their votes?

Does it Really Help to Know

Posted in Abuse of Power, Auto Quality Control, Being woke, Bribes, Christian values, Communism, Communist Takover, Customer complaints, Elections, Liberals, Politcal Opinion, Socialists, Supreme Court, Truth by

I took my Ford Taurus into the dealership to have some minor work done on it. When I went to pick it up, the service manager informed me that the anti-lock brakes control went bad. Then he suggested it might have been battery acid that dropped down on it.

I actually thought about arguing the point. The battery was relatively new and there was not one drop of acid around it. Moreover, it was in a tray which was also dry. I decided against it. I knew it would do no good.

I knew the guy was handing me a line but sometimes it isn’t enough to know. I wasn’t there to see it and I could see no evidence of anything that his man did. So that was it, more-or-less. Of course, the customer always has a last resort. I had owned three Fords before; none since.

The point is that sometimes, sometimes, it does not do any good to know. I knew the man was lying to me, but it did not do be any good. Anything short of having a video of the whole thing, I am doomed to lose the argument before I start. Even then, they might not accept a video of proof.

Well, there is another thing I know that will never do anyone any good. I know there was major cheating in the last election. Guess what. The dems know it too. The problem is that there was never a way to get it into the courts to prove anything; this even though some in position of authority outright admitted to not following the law. Incidentally, I believe the courts knew it too. I mean, it was a poorly kept secret.

The dems decided to ignore it and they insisted that everyone else ignore it too. Moreover, if anyone brought it up, the dems made sure that they suffered for it.

Now we stand on the brink of another election. You think they will do it again? They certainly will, if we permit it. Actually, they just might have obtained the power to do it even should we do not permit it. It may have already reached the tipping point. We, even now, might be living in a one party country. If so, it won’t do any good to know it. It will be too late. Very soon. we will all know. A lot of good it will do then.

My Thanks and Appreciation to the Voters of Memphis

Posted in Communism, Communist Takover, Deceit, Elections, FOC, law enforcement, Politcal Opinion, unbelievable by

Don’t know for sure.  However, my best guess is that the value of my property just went up somewhere in the neighbor hood of 8 or 9 thousand.  Just a guess.  It does take a while to verify things sometimes.

However, Memphis just had an election and they chose a mayor who will not quash the crime problem.  Most likely, he will make sure to drive the treasury well into debt and he likely won’t help the transit system much either.  If anyone expects the LG&W outfit to improve, think again.  You just put the wrong man in the job of mayor to expect that.

The fact is that the new mayor will likely do everything he can to destroy the city from every point he can think of.  I would say it will be from ignorance but he will know exactly what he is doing.  By the way, he will also have the Dems, AKA communists, behind him helping him in every way.

Even now, I suspect the phones at U-Haul have started ringing.  They will be one of the few businesses in Memphis to benefit, at least for a while.  Already, many businesses have threatened to shut down or move.  Why should they stick around when their customers are heading south, north, east and west?

And so it is… the property values in Memphis will head south as the populace takes off for parts unknown.  And, of course, part of them will be headed for Desoto County.  That will drive my property value up.

There are, of course three downsides for me.  Our streets will be more crowded.  Those driving our streets will be more reckless.  Worst-of-all, they will likely bring their democrat ideas with them and ruin things down here the same as they did up there.

Be it know that the voters just put a Friend of Criminals, what I call FOCs in the mayor’s chair. No doubt, as time unfolds, he will make sure to put more FOCs into various city positions. Also, he has friends, AKA as city councilmen and women. If this keeps up, I just might be able to retire.

Wait a minute. I am retired. I am sure you get the idea.

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.

Bowing Out

Might be wrong but I don’t think so. I figure in just a matter of days, Old Joe is going to develop a problem, one that will keep him from running. It clearly appears to me that even the dems are starting to realize he’s not going to make it through election. He might not even make it to the election.

It does bring to mind a number of things that the dems would not like to see. One of many things could occur that just might spell disaster to the power structure.

First, President Trump just might beat all the accusations. As I mentioned before, the dems would have some explaining to do.

Second, Hunter just might get locked up. That would mean he will start singing like a canary. Not only would Joe go to prison but the entire family.

Third, a financial problem. This would be either a recession or another shot of inflation. This could be triggered by bank problems or maybe a big industry like the auto manufacturing. If the cars cost too much, people won’t buy them, not from Detroit anyway.

Forth, a tragic event caused by some terrorist(s) being allowed over the border. It could be multi-city.

Fifth, too many illegal immigrants in too many dem run cities. Already, NY, NY is on the brink of failure according to the mayor himself and people have already begun leaving. Those U-Hauls going in are empty. It’s the one leaving that are packed.

Finally, the folks just might get tired of an open border and lack of law enforcement.

It is not my desire that any of this should happen but I can read t-leaves. The worst part is that it will likely happen fast. It might also trigger other things. Putting that puppet known as Old Joe in front of the cameras to try to settle things won’t work. It will just make matters worse.

It is easy to see, there is already some panic showing in the dem leadership. If something breaks, no one will want to have nothing to do with anything.

Even if there are no problems, it is easy to see there are already problems and the dems are already seeking plans and methods.

How’s This for a Scenario?

Old Joe fights to maintain his leadership in his party and loses the election to Trump. First day Trump is in office, the price of oil is cut by 25%. In the next week it goes down to $40 a barrel. Russia and Putin go into a tailspin and inside a month they are broke and can’t fight any kind of war. They won’t be able to give their oil or natural gas to anyone.

All those folks in Afghanistan that Trump knows who they are and where they are, decide it is time to head for the hills and Afghanistan become a free country again.

China is afraid that the cost of trade with the US will go up so they start getting more reasonable about Taiwan. Who knows? They might even let go of their hold on Hong Kong.

The folks in Iran are afraid of being picked apart by drone strikes so they agree to give up their effort to build atomic weapons. After a few more months, the money going from Iran into terrorists groups starts drying up so they stop sending rockets into Israel.

All those folks heading the no-justice department are afraid so they start for parts unknown. Possibly, they might join that commie friend of theirs north of the border and find their refuge there. Some might go to Russia or China and find out what it really means to live in country where freedom is no more than a word.

I would hope that Trump would hold some serious housekeeping and fire anyone he can in the leadership of the FBI, CIA, IRS and Justice department. On day two, he can start arranging the return transportation for all illegal aliens. He can tell them that they would be far better off if they go back willingly.

Okay. I know. It is wishful thinking. First he has to get elected. In a country that holds elections like that last one he was in, that is going to be difficult. I mean, when the laws and rules of elections are ignored, it will be a uphill battle all the way. This is especially true when the media is on going to be all out for Joe.

I don’t hold out much hope. However, I think this just might be the last chance for the republic. If Old Joe wins; if the dems win, I’m afraid there will be little left of the constitutional government that so many gave their lives for over the years and over the decades.

Unfortunately, it might also be an end to peace in the Middle East as well. Israel just might have to start fighting for her survival. I don’t have any idea what that will lead to. I sort of hope I won’t be here to see it.
