A Show of Hands, Please

Uncle Joe is going around the country and provide support for local contests. I know I’ll never get it but I’d like to see a show of hands or those seeking ole Joe’s support. I suspect I only need my fingers to count them. I would have no need to remove my shoes. Come to think of it, I might be able to put one hand in a pocket.

As an aside, just how many would Joe be able to assist before he would have to return to Maryland for a rest. Perhaps more accurately, before he is sent back.

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.

Joe Should Try Something New

So far , Joe has yet to own up to one of his many blunders. Something bad happens and Joe sticks his head up and looks around to see where he can affix the blame.

Maybe, perhaps, for a change he could try admitting his mistake.

Then again, this might be risky. People will wonder. Perhaps he’s an imposter. Maybe, someone is figuratively holding a gun on him. (It wouldn’t be a cannon. As he said, they are illegal. )

Incidentally , Joe can’t be a good leader. Good leaders own their mistakes. They don’t blame others. Now, it would seem others blame him. This is obvious from the more recent polls. It would seem he will leave a reputation of being an alibi Ike.

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.

Is the Self-Defense Really Settled?

I’m not even sure how log ago it was when a young man successfully defended himself. We know it was self-defense because it was settled in court. …or was it?

In the first place, it will never be the same for Rittenhouse? It has changed his life forever. Those who he encounters will always look at him differently.

To be sure, people will always look at self-defense differently. Rittenhouse acted legally. It was clear from the start the prosecuting attorneys tried to make an example of the man, instead of trying to make examples of those who were rioting that night.

I had considered getting a gun to protect my home after an armed break in. I looked through the internet and found some enlightening things. Maybe Rittenhouse would have done things differently had he done the same, not that I am suggesting he did anything wrong.

It just is that we live in a world that is often times upside down. If you shoot an armed intruder, you just might be charged regardless of how right you are. It depends very much on the prosecutor, as in Rittenhouse’s case. If you look through the internet a while, you will see what I mean.

I found one remark especially thoughtful. Loosely he wrote, Shoot a man charging at you twice in the chest, you will likely be OK. If he keeps coming at you and you shoot him again… this time between the eyes… it is no longer self-defense but execution, which, by the way is not legal.

It tells me you might be better off using a shotgun. I don’t much like the idea, but the prosecutors just might be pushing us into it. Most often, if you shoot someone in the middle of the chest with a 12 gauge, he’s going to stop in his tracks regardless of what kind of drugs are in his circulatory system. It does have another advantage. Most people in their right mind, when they see the shot gun, will decide there was somewhere else they needed to be.

Nonetheless, I write this to warn you all. It might be legal to shoot that gun in self-defense. However, in many cases you will need to go to court to prove it was self-defense. It is a good idea to remember that many prosecutors are FOCs (Friends of the Criminals)

Just a word to wise. I am sure, at this point, Rittenhouse would concur with this advice.

California Ads?

I used to live in California. I grew up not far from Disneyland. In fact, I was there before there was a Disneyland.

One thing I noticed was that those who visited the Golden state had a tendency to want to stay. I wasn’t the only only one who noticed it. Many others made similar remarks.

There wasn’t a need to advertise the place. It had unlimited natural magnets. The weather and beaches were enough, but there were so many others.

Guess things have changed. People are leaving the place. I guess some are just leaving. Others must first sell their homes, possibly taking a loss.

Now, would you believe, California is running ads, frequently. I keep seeing them. Someone needs to tell them that there is a far better way.

  1. Get all the libs out of the governments, state and local.
  2. Reduce the taxes.
  3. Reduce regulations.
  4. Fix the schools and colleges.

afterwards , those wonderful natural magnets would do all the rest. It would be better for California, the residents and the country. As for those running the state now, it would be better that they find another line of work…better for everyone.

Moreover, the ads by themselves don’t stand a chance of working. All the U-Hauls will be outbound.

The folks in Texas and Florida already figured it out. Just maybe are smarter than the air heads on the west coast.

AOC Was Right

As hard as it might be to believe, she was right. It does give credence to the adage that the old broke clock is precisely correct twice a day.

She said most don’t know what capitalism is. Most don’t know what socialism is.

The fact is most Americans would not know the difference if their lives depended on it. It’s a shame because their freedom and their lives do depend on it.

Now I have a question for the congresswoman. If she knows the difference, why does she prefer the worse. It is not that difficult to known which is better.

Just maybe it is that she does know. Just maybe she wants to be part of the elite, formally known as the royalty.

My suggestion is that we all learn the benefits of capitalism before losing our freedom.

Remember, loss of liberty is one generation away. People such as AOC have the desire to take it from us. …and, by the way, she has many comrades. Comrades is cohorts for the commies.

As an aside, AOC ought not brag. The reason most people can’t tell the difference is because the education system failed to teach them. Just another good reason for school choice. Do we really want to send out children to schools that fail or refuse to teach?

Using school choise is an effective form of capitalism. The good schools thrive. Those that can’t or won’t teach fail. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Then again, it just might be AOCs desire to keep our children ignorant.

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.

Red Herring

I decided to look up the word to make sure I have been using it right. One meaning has to do with smoked fish. The other somewhat has to do with deception. The following words are are considered to mean the same or nearly the same thing as the second meaning.

Ruse, blind, feint, deception, subterfuge, hoax, smokescreen, trick, ploy, sham, pretense, and distraction.

Whenever anyone representing Joe says that there are 9,000 leases already approved, we can honestly, say that every one of the above words applies, especially ruse, deception, hoax and smokescreen. Their purpose is to hide the truth and deceive. It is all part of a big hoax. Bottom line, it is dishonest.

Then again why should anyone expect anything else from any FOC, especially ol’ Joe.

Many of those leases have no oil. Anyone who would do the research would know it is sort dumb to drill where there is no oil. Moreover, the FOCs have been blocking the oil people every place they are able using super red tape.

In essence, the FOCs have declared war on oil long before Joe took office. They prefer to buy the oil from enemies and terrorist than to pump it out from under our own feet. There is but one reason I can think of for that. They are also friends of the enemy as well as the criminals.

Can anyone give me another reason?

Speaking of criminals, anyone see hide nor hair of that criminal #1, Fauci. He seems to be hiding these days. Maybe he is getting ready to take off for China, where I am sure they will richly reward him.
