The Virus and the Schools

There is one point of confusion I have about the demand that the dummycrats have about the keeping the schools closed.  President Trump says he will withhold money from the school systems that stay closed and the dummycrats, especially the teacher’s unions complain.

To my way of thinking, why would the schools need money if they remain closed?

It seems to me that the only people who suffer economically from this epidemic are those who don’t receive their checks from the government.  Why should they be immune from all calamity.

During the downturn of 2008, I took a 10% cut in pay.  Then later, I took another 5% cut.  Then, later the company that I worked for, was no more.  During all this time, others lost jobs.  Others took cuts in pay.  Yet, I don’t think one federal employee took a loss in pay.  I don’t think one federal employee lost his job.  Very likely, it was the same for the state and county governments.  Indeed, I heard of many instances of teachers complaining of a lack in pay increases.

And now, they want money for closing schools?  Really.  Me thinks I smell something rotten.

If this be true in the K through 12 schools, I am sure it applies even more for the universities.  All through the worst of the economic woes, the colleges kept increasing their tuitions yearly.  It was as if, in some way, they decided they were privileged.  Something tells me that someone should clean those old halls of ivy, all the way from the deepest basement to the top of the highest spire.

Then again, you and I both know that won’t happen.  Only the colleges are immune to such things.  When is the last time you heard of anyone suing a college for malpractice?

The Reason for Lies

One day while watching TV, I heard someone ask, “Why do the Democrats lie?”

If I may, please allow me to paraphrase, let me count the reasons.

1. Now, let see, because they can.  This is likely the number one reason.  A republican makes one slip of the tongue and it is all over the news.  Democrats lie and it never makes the news.  Then again, that does make sense.  Why should a democrat lying make the front page when it is so common.

2. Certainly, the democrats do want power and they see the lie as the means.  It certainly worked for Paul Joseph Goebbels and his boss.  Vladimir Stalin and Joseph Lenin found it effective.  Goebbels’ power was brief and fleeting but Stalin has his followers to this day.  In some ways, that which he started remains and will likely remain through history.  I could go on and name a few more but I’m sure I’ve made my point.  Lying is sort of what socialists do.  It would seem that they can’t help themselves.

3. Also, they lie to escape prison.  By the way, Clinton had to admit lying and barely avoided the big house.  Fortunately for him, he had lots of friends.  Even then, he was convicted and lost his license to practice law for a while.

4. On the other hand, you have Adam Schiff.  He is the imminent example of liars.  The man is both dumb and a liar.  Even when he gets caught red-handed, so to speak, he still doesn’t have the sense to know it.  He just goes on lying, telling one after the other.  He likely will until he dies.

Remember Obama and his famous lies?  You can keep your doctors.  You can keep your plan.  and, oh yes, the shovel ready projects.  We never did find out where all that money went to.  It certainly didn’t go to the projects.  I would suspect we might find it in the pockets of a few Obama supporters, that is, if we were ever permitted to look.

Let us not forget those who told the fatal lies, the World Health Organization.  Because of their lies, thousands of people have died.  Millions have lost their jobs.  Even after President Trump confronted them with the truth, they continue to lie.  Worse yet, the dummycrats continue to try to say how we must continue to bow down to them.

It is why I call them dummycrats.

What’s Next?

Many people speak about the monuments and statues.  The question I ask is, “What’s next?”

In every country where tyrants took over, it was always preceded by one thing, the destruction of books.  Hitler and his minions burned them by the millions.  Lenin had bond fires fueled by the pages of the past.  However, for him it was not so difficult.  He was only taking over from another tyrant, the Tzar.  Many had the desire to forget his rule.

The current communists have the desire to take over this country, but they are starting with the monuments and statues, which is a real part of our history: good or bad.  Indeed, they ignore that good which they did while magnifying their small faults.  To be sure, they preach about the spec in Jefferson’s eye while they ignore the beam in their own eyes.

My question has an answer, the books.  They will begin destroying the books.  Mark my words.  Very likely, within the decade they will start removing books from our shelves and they will persecute those who write anything contrary to their gods.

They will not need laws or rules.  Political correct will be all they will need.  No one has the will or the power to stand against the tirade of those who love evil and hate good.

Eventually, of coarse, they will go after the one book they hate most and the one person Whom is the main target of their hate.  They have already removed God from our schools.  It is a matter of time before they will eliminate Him completely, or so it would seem.  To be sure, they will prevent the publishing of the Bible and any of its teachings.

Without doubt, it will lead to the downfall of the biggest and best experiment ever tried.  It is their design.  It is their goal.  If and when this happens, it will be one of the world’s greatest disasters.  When they take God out of our lives, hate and those who love hate will prevail.  It began with compromises.  As the compromises continue, it will end in our downfall.  The compromises never move toward the good, only toward the communists and their goals.

When they win, we will lose.

 

The Problem with Paradise

I was 7 when we moved to a city in Orange County, Calif.  At the time, it was just about as close as a person could get to paradise on earth.  The temperature was mild just almost year-round.  The area was relatively crime-free and there was always something to do.

Sometimes we went to the beach.  At other times, we went to the park.  There were many to choose from.  By the way, we could also go to the playgrounds of nearby schools.  The lawyers had not yet ruined things for us.  Nowadays, playing on school playgrounds is forbidden.  The schools are afraid of being sued.

So now they build fences around the schools in an attempt to keep the kids from using the playground equipment, which by the way works only marginally.  Most kids know how to climb fences.  However, putting up fences does decrease the liabilities of the schools.

The problem was that people kept visiting the area.  Then, when they realized how nice the area was, they decided to move there.  During the time from the early 50s, people started moving to California, and especially the Orange County area.

By the way, as if that wasn’t enough, people also started moving in from Mexico… illegally.

Now the area is marginally overpopulated.  It is no longer a paradise.  If I may paraphrase Yogi, no one goes there anymore.  It is too crowded.  It is why I moved out of the state.  Don’t get me wrong.  I do miss the weather.  I certainly miss the beaches.  In this part of the country, it is hard to find a place to swim unless you own your own pool.

It just is that there are too many people in Orange County.  Worse yet, most of those who moved in are dummycrats.  The whole state is being run by people who aren’t qualified to run a birthday party, let alone a state or city.

It is the problem with paradise.  Given enough time, too many of the wrong people will move in and destroy it.  It is true at the city level, the county level, the state level and certainly the country level.

Those seeking the paradise are the vary ones who seek its destruction.  They seek to destroy our constitution, our history and our culture.  Once they are gone, then paradise is gone.

Still, to most of those in this world, the United States is paradise.  However, some want to make sure that won’t last long.  They have opened the borders and invited one and all to enter.  Soon we will wake up and realize that we all would be better off going somewhere else.

The problem with that is that… there will be nowhere else.  The moon is not an option, not yet anyway.

“Crazy Nuts”

“Crazy Nuts” is the title of one of my books.  The title comes from the main character, Kathy.  In the book, she explains that her mother wouldn’t let her call people stupid.  She was told it was impolite and it didn’t sound nice.  So she starts using the word crazy instead.  Then, if something is really stupid, she calls it crazy nuts.

The reason this was brought to mind was a news story I just heard to change the name of Columbus, Ohio to Flavortown.  Now that is not just crazy.  That is crazy nuts and I defy anyone to deny it.

How Sad It Is

How sad it is to find the enemy among us… those who pretend to be for America but are really never-Trumpers.  It is worse than walking among snakes.  It makes a person wonder who will rise from among the ranks and bite next.

First there is one selected to be a Supreme Court Justice.  Then there is one selected to be Security Advisor.  They now show their real colors but too late.  One can never be removed from office, the other has already done his damage.

Even worse, it is a tragedy to see politics take such a strong foothold in the highest court in the land.  If one cannot find justice at the Supreme Court, then there is no justice.

Open Question for One and All

Former UN Ambassador under Obama (Samantha Power) requested the unmasking of several people (around 7 if memory serves me properly) who were in the Trump campaign.  My question is simple, Why?  What purpose did it serve?  Certainly, it can’t have had anything to do with Russia.

I cannot imagine that her job would involve any need to unmask anyone.

For me, it would seem to shoot a hole in their logic that all the unmasking was justified.

I mean Samantha Power, seems a nice woman.  Of all those on the Obama administration, she seemed to me the least objectionable.  So far, I have no idea who she unmasked and, of course, I have no idea why.

Naturally, I don’t have a list of duties for the position, but, as near as I can tell, she was not much more than a mouth piece for Obama and, hopefully, the United States.  So, if anyone can give me a reason that she had for unmasking anyone, please let me know.

Personally, I have about come to the conclusion that all permission for unmasking should require the president’s explicit signature.  That way, he would not be given that wonderful “plausible deniability” that Obama has relied on.  It would seem every time someone asks him about any of it, he claims he had no knowledge of it.  Either he is lying or his staff kept a lot of secrets from him.

Moreover, it displayed how little the Obama crew respected the law and the incoming administration.

The Question Not Asked

Over the years I’ve noticed a pattern when politicians are interviewed.  Frequently, when they are asked a question they don’t want to answer, they reply to a question not asked.  The reply is often a reply to a question to which they would rather reply and it invariably is far more wordy than necessary.  That way, they only talk about what they want to and it minimizes the time for other questions.   …and by the way, no question is ever answered yes or no.  The reply is far too brief allowing for more questions.

For instance;

Q: On a clear day, is the sky blue?

Politician’s reply: Science is an important subject and we should all pay attention to…  and so on and so on.

A proper reply: Yes.

Revisiting Old Posts

I made two posts ages ago; don’t know exactly when.  I do believe I should revisit them, considering recent events.

In one of the posts, I suggested that we maintain a steel and aluminum industry within our country for security.  The last thing we need in a war wherein we must, beg or steal our steel and aluminum from the enemy.  I made the suggestion before President Trump required it and now it appears I was far more correct than I thought.

In light of recent events, I might suggest that the thought be broadened.  With the recent virus outbreak, we almost had to beg supplies from China.  That would not be a good thing.

Maybe what we ought to form a committee and establish a list of things that we must maintain for security purposes.  Also, maybe we should reestablish our space program so that we no longer need to hitch rides with Russia.  If they say HET (Russian word for no, pronounced nyet) we would have a new meaning for the expression “up the creek without a paddle.”


In another post, I suggested that our senators and representatives remain in their own state or district and perform their business through tel-conferencing.  I gave a long list of reasons why this would be a good idea, not the least of which was that it would make it more difficult for the lobbyists to bribe our congressmen.

Again, it would appear that I was more right than I thought.  If they had taken my advice then the virus would have not hindered their business.

On the other hand, there are some who would say that slowing their efforts just might be a good thing.

Either way, I can’t imagine what might have happened if we had an epidemic break out on the floor of either the House or Senate.  If several were to become badly sick, or even die, it might have caused real problems, maybe panic.  It is no wonder that they have all decided to hide out in their own homes.

Well, that may not have been the real reason at all.  Maybe it was a decision made of cowardice.

Regardless, the switch to computerized meetings would be simple to implement and security would be easy to manage.  Just make sure all their computers ran off ROM.

 

Definition of a Lie

We now have proof that the dummycrats knew there was no collusion.

We also know that, from the beginning, they have been preaching that there was colluding by candidate Trump and then President Trump.  The two things are mutually exclusive.  Both cannot be true at the same time.

To me, that sort of looks like lying.  Maybe they have their own definition, but, if we go by the dictionary, we must say that the dummycrats have been lying.

Then again, we could try to cover it up a little.  We could say they told a little fib.  On the other hand, we could say they have been a little less than truthful.

Personally, I call it a whopper.  Moreover, had Clinton won the election, the lie would have been accepted as absolute truth, at least, by most.  On the other hand, to the mass media, it is historical fact.

Of the liars, Schiff, has to be worst.  He knew there was no proof and yet he insisted he had some.  Moreover, he misrepresented the phone call.  Worst yet, when confronted face to face with the truth, he refuses to admit the lie.

Though I can’t prove it, I believe Obama was the originator of the lie.  For this, I refer you back to one of my earlier posts, the one about incarcerating a president.  I see no need to rewrite it here.  Regardless, even if we had a ton of proof of his wrongdoing, Obama won’t go to prison.  At worst, he and many of his cohorts will be put under house arrest.  The earned imprisonment is simply impractical.

In such a situation, the secret service agents would take on a second task as prison guards.  If I weren’t so old, it is something I would eagerly volunteer for.  They wouldn’t even need to pay me.
