Country Clubbers, as Bad for the Economy as Democrats

Rush Limbaugh frequently critiqued the affluent, establishment-oriented wing of the Republican Party, referring to them as the “country club segment.” Many Republicans likely dismissed his characterization without fully comprehending its deeper implications. Moreover, they seem unaware of the significant and potentially detrimental impact their political and economic approaches could have on the broader national landscape, particularly in terms of financial policy and societal economic dynamics.

One of the big reasons we had problems stopping illegal immigration is because the illegal aliens drive the wages down drastically. I hope I don’t need to explain why that is so beneficial to rich Republicans; as well as rich Democrats too. Naturally, many of the rich Republicans had as much of a desire to open the borders as the Dems did.

Though I don’t know the reason, this group also seemed to be in favor of making the killing of unborn children legal. My best guess is that they didn’t want to lose elections and their power.

Donald Trump’s political rise disrupted traditional Republican Party dynamics, challenging the established country club elite by appealing directly to a broader base of supporters. His unconventional campaign and messaging resonated with voters beyond the typical Republican establishment, potentially attracting disillusioned Democrats and working-class constituents who felt overlooked by mainstream political figures. Trump’s ability to connect with a diverse range of voters fundamentally transformed the Republican Party’s, especially those who wanted to stop illegal immigration as well as the traditional power structure and electoral strategy.

As you might have noted, many of those country club crowd have left the Republican Party and began opposing the Republican Party and Trump. No one told me why but I think I have a good guess. You will likely have a good guess too when you realize the drastic decrease in inexpensive illegal labor.

Typically Democrat

I know. I said I was done posting. And I mean it. And I am horrible for making exceptions. Still, every now and then someone will say something so typically Democratic, synonymous with dumb, and it would seem I am the only one in the world who notices just how stupid it is.

I am not sure who said it on one of those liberally controlled Sunday morning shows, but it makes little difference. It is a thought shared by most, if not all, the leadership of the Democrats.

The critique centered on Trump’s leadership style, highlighting his tendency to make unilateral decisions without prior consultation. The source suggested that such unpredictability undermines diplomatic relationships, potentially creating tension with foreign leaders who expect more measured and collaborative approaches to international relations.

First, sometimes the best thing a president can do is be strategic with opponents. Secondly, he is not being particularly deceptive. For the most part, he is doing what he said he would do during his campaign.

I guess they slept through those parts, or at least some of them did. Certainly, I have not seen anything that could be called deception. Then again, I do not keep my fingers in my ears during the campaign.

Please, if there is one person out there who believes that one national leader should be surprised, please send me your comment. However, I would hope you will not use any profanity.

The Easy Way

When Old Joe looked around and saw that the unemployed was becoming a really big problem, he said the answer is easy. He simply hired a bunch of federal employees, though they had no purpose. It was simple. Poof. In a few days the unemployment problem went away.

Now, it would seem that Elon Musk has found a bunch of those employees and the dems have decided they don’t want to let go of them. You see, every one of them is a sure vote. You have to look hard to find a do nothing federal employee who will vote Republican, which is only logical.

The hitch is that hiring federal employees solves nothing. It increases the debt and they produce nothing. That, in essence is the cause of inflation, which, by the way was reaching record numbers, in case you remember it not.

And so it was, the employment numbers looked really good while the inflation numbers were going through the roof.

Two Questions I’d Like the Answers to Before my Death

Who is Ray Epps, and who has been issuing his paychecks for the last 20 years? All those people in or around the Capitol were thrown into various prison cells on the slimmest of evidence for over four years. Not Ray. He will serve 100 hours of community service after waving and encouraging people into the Capitol Building. I am not sure he will serve that. If he does, it will be under the best conditions.

I figure he had a part in the conspiracy or he knows someone who knows someone. I mean there were people who went to prison for being in the vicinity. He stands outside the building and directs traffic, and he was sentenced to a hand slap, which he never receives.

Even now, after the change of administration, he remains in Arizona in that wonderful weather, apparently totally immune to being touched by anyone. And now, who is it that he works for? Does he work at all, or does he draw some kind of FBI paycheck through back channels?

Do you suppose they would give me an hour or three in an interrogation room with Epps, where he would be required to answer my two questions honestly? It is a cover-up that makes anything done by President Nixon or anyone around him look minor. It is far worse than VP Spiro Agnew ever thought about doing.

I THINK NOT!! I will die not knowing, as the rest of us.

Gun Violence

WHBQ-TV Channel 13 had a lengthy segment tonight on gun violence. It is one time I wish I had a DVR. I would like to review what was said. I did hear the number 40,000 used in the segment. I hate to say or imply anything without knowing the specifics.

Therefore, I went to the internet. I found that Statista reports an average of 50,000 deaths from firearms per year. The numbers are close, though I don’t know how much one has to do with the other.

According to DEA reports, over 107,000 deaths were attributed to fentanyl in 2024. This is a staggering number that does not involve any gunshots or bullets, which is far higher than the number of deaths caused by shootings.

Let’s add a little unknown factor. How many of those shootings involve drug-related activities? My wild guess, at least a quarter.

So, let’s look at the cold, hard facts. If people stop shooting people, it would save 50,000 lives. Wonderful! Great! If we stop the drugs, over twice that many lives would be saved.

Yet the conversations about guns on TV and radio are very common. On the other hand, drug abuse rarely gets a mention.

Do you think that is by accident? I am sure it is intended.

And so it is. Every year we lose more people than in all the long years of Vietnam. Is this your idea of proper priorities?

Unique Idea

For years, I have been writing posts suggesting that a good way to cut back on crime is to keep the criminals in prison.

Surprise. I just heard an official in Memphis suggest the same thing when he was addressing a problem with repeat offenders. Maybe he is a little slow on the uptake, but he just might have finally figured it out.

Now, he needs to spread the word to all the other cities. Rare as the idea is, it is a proven method.

Of course, it does have a downside for me. If the crime rate in Memphis goes down, it might not help my property values as much.

A Question of Degree

The question has been asked why the dems lost if they cheated. They really should rather ask how much more Trump would have won had they not cheated.

If nothing else, Kamala should have claimed all the free campaigning she received from the media, you know, like the so-called comedy shows they put on late at night. You note that in at least one case, they were forced to provide equal time by the FCC. How many such cases were never uncovered though they were frequently as blatant, even in cases of so-called straight news.

Also, there were some cases that the dems were caught and there was retribution. How many such cases were not caught.

Kamala outright paid over a billion for the presidency. It wasn’t enough, even when you include the in-kind contributions. All in in all, it was likely double that, at least. By the way, in-kind contributions are considered illegal, that is to say cheating.

The Truth comes Out!!

Well some of it does. They say that 24 (or was it 26?) men were among those in the group that went into the capitol building, were FBI informants. It was just almost implied that they got their marching orders from the FBI. Therefore, I will infer that they did. It does make me wonder if Ray Epps was among the 24… informants. It does make me suspect that Epps was carrying a radio on him from which he received his instructions. Likely, a quarter mile away, an FBI agent was speaking the orders into a transmitter. Who knows, maybe it was Wray himself. If not, maybe by relay.

It does maybe make me suspect that Trump had proof and he told Wray about it. Well, I do suppose a bluff was enough. It sure would explain why he decided to get out of Dodge, er, D.C. for quickly. I don’t think he would mind being fired. On the other hand, being charged with inciting a riot might be a little too much. Oh. And did I mention a few hundred cases of false arrest.

Understand. I am not saying that that is what happened. However, it does fit so very well. It’s sort of like that missing piece to that 1500 piece jig-saw puzzle we’ve been looking for. You know, once we find it, the whole puzzle fits together so quickly and so well.

Those Searching for Treasure….

Every now and then, you hear in the news of someone finding sunken treasures or hunting for a buried chest. Some have even gone so far as to open big safes owned by previous gangsters or union bosses. I think they are looking in the wrong place. When and if they find the gold, there isn’t much and it takes a lot of work get it.

Where I realize I should have been looking are those who developed the vaccine for the China virus. To be sure, they spent a lot of money for development but not nearly what they stood to gain.

I have been wanting to write this post for a long time, but I simply don’t have the real info I want. It would appear no one is talking about it. No one is bragging. It would appear they have closed the big door on this one, and for obvious reasons. There is a lot of money involved.

I would really like to know how much money is involved. What, maybe a few billion from the government and even more from the insurance companies. The drug companies weren’t happy with what they got vaccinating the old, those that would have needed it, if it worked. They wanted even the youth to get the vaccine. Do you realize the monies that the developers could get from all those vials, work or not.

Fact is, no treasure chest, no ship wreck could provide the fortunes. Moreover, there was no need doing any risky deep sea diving or digging. And, by the way, diving for treasure doesn’t always yield so much as one gold coin. For sure, selling vaccine is the way to go. It has a for sure return.

Does anyone have any idea how many pockets have been lined by the hopes of stopping the virus with a magic elixir. However, if you stop to think about it, that wasn’t really the big winning hand. If they really stopped the virus, they’d have no more reason to make it. They, so to speak would have killed the golden goose. The billions coming in, would stop coming in.

Would these big Pharma outfits do things like that. Would they sink so low, really. I would say, in a heartbeat. Let’s face it, big pharma were not the only ones winning. I can’t prove it. I would never make the charge without at least a thread of evidence. However, do you notice that big government was more than willing to distribute the vaccine, even after it proved to be useless, especially for the youth. They were determined that those in the military who were in good health should also take it.

The final straw is this. Any time that someone discovered something that actually worked, they, the government, did all they could to squelch the possibilities, even though some likely died from it.

The fact of the matter is, Old Joe and his crew are going to have a lot to answer for when they face God in Heaven. However, the real problem is… the damage has been done. It won’t be reversed. He and his cohorts have their treasure, and they will most surely pay.

Moreover, the new media, the health department officials, the physicians, and certainly, big pharma will all have their punishment as well.

Then, what good will their treasure be to them. What good will the world be to them when they lose their souls.

On Goodman Road, the Limit is 45 in Most of Southaven

My question is, why do most people remain close to or below that speed. Well, I know one reason I do. I know that if I go faster, one of those fine law enforcement officers will pull me over, we will have a short nice conversation, and give me a little piece of paper. If I exceed 45 by too much, he just might take me out of my car and put the cuffs on me and rightfully so.

I won’t like it. I would much prefer to drive at 55. I would much prefer that those wonderful peace officers would just look the other way. However, I do understand that there is a point to it. I might think I can drive safely at 55. However, the authorities have decided to set the limit at 45.

Even then, if I drive at 45 when I should slow to 30, that nice policeman might still pull me over. Yeah. There always around to spoil things aren’t they.

Now, just for a moment, let’s imagine that we decided to do as the dems suggested and we defunded the police. There would no longer be anyone around to stop me. So, law or not, I would be able to drive at 55. Others might do 60. Things could get dangerous, quickly.

It is why they made the laws in the first place and it is why they gave officers the authority to enforce them. It is as I have said many times before, a law that is not enforced is useless. It is worse than no law at all.

Oddly, most people know all this, though they like to pretend they don’t.

For instance, it is illegal for illegal aliens to vote. Yet there is no mechanism to enforce this law in many democrat states. They do not need to produce any form of ID. They are encouraged to register to vote when they get a driver’s license and they are encouraged to get driver’s license, without proof of citizenship. I dare say, in many states, their law enforcement is told to look the other way. If a policeman were to arrest an alien for voting, he’d likely get his hand slapped, figuratively of course. Indeed the office might be asked, “What did you do that for?” Then he’d be told, “Don’t do that!”

And that is how illegal aliens vote. That is how they are encouraged to vote. The law by itself, will never stop the law breaker. It requires many means of law enforcement.

Strange how most of the dems try to make us ignore that part of it.
