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.
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.
It would seem that there is now a rock solid rule that, in order to participate in the government of a large city, a person must be a dem. To some degree, I somewhat understand that. I mean, why would anyone want to live in a large city, unless he’s a dem. That makes it difficult for a republican to be elected, especially for mayor.
And so it is, you look at election results, you will find high concentrations of dem votes in large cities. Also, near coasts and rivers. As you get closer to center of the city, you will find a higher concentration of dems.
Oddly, you can pretty much say the same about crime.
Not so oddly, another reason to avoid living in big cities, or for that matter, visiting them unless necessary.
It does seem to be one of those endless loops. It does seem a horrible thing, which no one knows how to stop. For that matter, I suspect no one really has the desire.
As I looked at a county by county map of the result of the Mississippi governor race, it pretty much stuck to the pattern. Even Desoto County is starting to lose it’s solid red look as the population increases.
Of course, the city of Jackson was solid blue as well as almost all the counties touching the Mississippi River. On the other hand, the gulf coast had a red county, the one with the sparse population.
You likely already noticed all this. It’s not so new.
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?
Many pro Hamas people assaulted the White House fence in an effort enter the White House itself. Of course, the assault was stopped and they even arrested one of the perpetrators.
Now wait a minute. On January 6, how many did they arrest? In fact they arrested people who never entered the building. They are blaming it all on President Trump and he did all he could to prevent it.
I have two assumptions. 1. The dems wanted the recent assault on the White House. 2. They wanted the crowd to enter Capitol on Jan 6. It served their purposes in both cases. It is why Pelosi turned down the National Guard Trump offered. It why Eps waved people into the building and never spent a day in jail for it.
You don’t like the news. It’s all there in b&w for anyone who really wants to know.
Let’s consider, if we build a fence around a land, would people try to go into that land or out. Take for instance, if there were a fence around New York, would people try to escape the state or sneak into the Empire State. I think past evidence already point out that there are more U-Hauls headed out of the state than into it.
It can be a great expense to leave a place where you’ve grown roots. It might mean selling a house or apartment at a loss. More than that, it will likely mean leaving family and friends. In truth, this difficulty is effectively a fence, a barrier to keep people from leaving.
Now, let’s take California. Certainly all the same things apply to it as those that apply to New York, but two things more. California has some of the best weather in the world and miles and miles of some really great beaches. I know firsthand. I used to live in Garden Grove, California 30 to 40 minutes from many of those beaches. And I spent a lot of time at five or six of them.
I know how hard it is to pull up stakes and move from that state. Every winter, every summer, I am reminded of it. Nonetheless, I moved from there to Memphis and then to Desoto County and I am glad I did. Moreover, there are many more who have done the same, that is to say, they left California.
I dare say, it has gotten bad enough that I suspect there are those who would leave all to get out. There are some that would build 15 foot ladders to climb any fence they’d build around it. Why is it that people are willing to give up the weather and the beaches?
It’s something called socialism. It’s ruled by people who call themselves democrats. However, many of them are outright socialists, or ever communists. They have a choke hold on that state and the proclamation has been made, you can’t run for anything unless you are willing to bow down to the controllers who claim to have the best interest of the poor at heart.
As a side note, there is nothing keeping the poor, poor more than the dems. It is not the rich they tax but rather those who are making money. The rich already have their money and they know how to sit on it to keep anyone from getting it.
Now, let’s look at the other fences, the ones around Florida, Tennessee, and Texas. They won’t work. People will find ways to get into those states. The past stats verify that. It is where people drive their U-Hauls and drop them off, I might add, at quite an expense. They are moving into strange neighborhoods where they know not anyone outside of their family. Maybe they don’t even have a means of employment yet.
They move to these states because the people running them actually understand capitalism. They know, if they work hard they can make a living and government won’t come along and take it from them. As a side benefit, they actually know the difference between men and women and they don’t try to talk boys into becoming girls or visa-versa.
Most of us around here understand the concept of putting those who break the law behind bars. (Well, there is something of an exception for Memphis. You can’t hold it agin them though. Their town is run by dems who know better, they just don’t like the concept. And so it is that people are also leaving Memphis.)
You would, of course think the dems caught on by now. They have seen how people from socialists countries are risking life and limb to leave their country to come to the US where we still have some semblance of capitalism. You ask those new arrival if they want the US to be like the place they just left, and they will get a horrified look on their face and say, please no. Not ever.
It is often a lesson learned too late. It wasn’t until Stalin had control that people realized they made a big mistake. It wasn’t until after Mao killed his millions that the Chinese realize that that they should have followed Chiang Kai-shek. It wasn’t until Castro had a firm grip on Cuba that the Cubans realized they made a big mistake. Those kind of mistakes never get corrected. Those controllers grab control and no human will ever be able to loose their hold.
Let’s hope and pray we don’t wait until the only way to leave the US is in a little home made row boat, as with the Cubans. The fact is, it will be too late. Even if we can put a good motor on that little craft, we won’t have anywhere to go.
Just saw a news story on TV. Seems a man was trying to drive away in a car that wasn’t his. A fast thinking fork lift driver raised the car about 10 or 12 feet and kept him and the car up in the air until the police came along to put the would-be thief in custody.
As something of an afterthought, they added that the police were well aware of the man and he had stolen cars before.
Well, the story gave me an idea about an anti theft method for cars. It’s simple. 4 hydraulic jacks under the car. When you park the car, you press a button and the jacks raise the car about 4 feet. When you are ready, you push a button and car is lowered and you can drive off.
Of course I am sure there are a number of problems to resolve, both mechanical and safety. However, I am sure these can be resolved.
Now, just a minute. Did I say the police said they knew the thief, that he was well known for stealing cars.
Please correct me if I’m wrong. Don’t we imprison people who commit grand theft? Aren’t there laws about driving off in cars that belong to others?
Pardon me for asking, but if this car thief had been behind bars, just how is it that he would steal anything? If the guy stole cars before, why was it that wasn’t locked up?
Let’s lock up the criminals. That way, there would be less crime, don’t you think? I think we can thank the FOCs (Friends of Criminals), aka democrats for such as this little story.
It would seem the libs don’t like it when our fine law enforcement officers give chase to possibly and/or probable criminals while afoot. Some have or are trying to make it illegal. Don’t ask me wny. I do know the libs do their best to distort and twist and otherwise outright lie about the truth for their benefit.
The gauchos of Argentina just might have the tool to do the job. Down there they use bolos instead of lariats on cattle and, from what I here, they are effective. If they can take down a steer, don’t you think they might take down a desperado. Maybe they can toss the things from auto or motorcycle.
The bolo is basically 3 balls tied together with rope. Always seemed odd to me they don’t use just 2. Then who am I to say? Never used any kind of bolo, let alone on cattle.
At any rate, the gauchos hold onto the horse’s rein with 1 hand and twirl the bolo with the other. Then, at just the right time, they throw the bolo. When it hits the steer’s lower rear legs, it wraps around them, bringing it down.
Now, as you think about that, don’t you think that might be a good tool for an officer to carry aground? I don’t know. They already have a lot to carry. Maybe they could just keep 1 or 2 handy in their autos, which, by the way, by necessity must be battery powered in the future. After all, if Detroit stops building gas cars, where will our law enforcement officers going to get anything but electronic cars.
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?
Wait for it. Watch for it. It won’t be long and it won’t be difficult to see.
First, there will be the requests for prayer, which is a sad joke. 80% of those asking for prayer don’t believe in it. The remainder will be the ones who would not spend a minute on their knees, not until after a disaster. Few and far between are those who earnestly prayed before the event. Those who gave thanks for what we have and those who prayed for peace.
Let me see a show of hands, how many, earnestly spent 10 minutes on their knees in the last year speaking to the Lord. That’s as I thought. Not many. Now, now, after the fact, you you go to God and you ask others to do the same… knowing that it will do far less good than the prayer would have done before.
Second, the anti-gun groups will be out in numbers. In truth, they could care less about the lives that were lost. All they are really after is the excuse to call for gun legislation. The believe in magic. Make the laws and everyone will stop shooting each other. May I remind folks, murder is against the law and I have yet to see one recent day go by when someone in the city of Memphis has not tried to kill someone. And it is as bad or nearly so throughout the country that ignores God.
I consider this a little more than odd when I look back over the last year or two and see all the crime committed by gun, and those that did it are wondering the streets today…likely with an illegal gun. If they really want to reduce crime, the first thing to do is put the criminals in prison.
The second thing to do is address the problem of broken homes and one parent families.
The third, and the most important, stop ignoring God. He can fix the problems. He knows how. However, if you ignore Him, why should He fix them? If you turn your back on God, why is it that He should do anything for you? If you refuse to admit His existence, for what purpose should he provide you any assistance.
Pain and sorrow follow those who do not follow God and His guidance.
