Division Among Republicans

Posted in Abortions, Abuse of Power, Being woke, Politcal Opinion, Religion, Truth by

Sad to say, there is division among the Republicans.  As such, very little of what they all hold in common gets passed, epically with Old Joe in the presidency and the dems having a small margin in the Senate.

However, what I’d really like to zero in on are the Republicans in the house right now.  As near as I can tell, there are at least 3 major factions.  The majority of them are conservatives.  Right now, they hold the majority of the votes, which angers what Rush Limbaugh used to call the country club group.  These are what are called rinos, or republican in name only.  Regan was certainly one of the conservatives.  He went from being a conservative Democrat to a conservative Republican.  (no more conservatives among the dems)The first Bush had the opportunity to learn at Regan’s feet but he was not a very good student.  As soon as the going got tough, he abandoned what he learned and he abandoned those who voted for him, which is why he lost the next election.

The next factor is the libertarians.  I like to call them Republicans without morals, R.W.Ms.  While they have very conservative ideas concerning finances, likely more than most, they don’t seem to have any morals.  Many have no problems with legalizing drugs, homosexuality, and many other moral things.  You might have a difficult time finding a Christian amongst them.

And so it is that there are fights within the party, some very bitter.  The only suggestion I have is to take what we can.  Most Republicans are financial conservatives.  Let’s concentrate on that.  That way we can fortify ourselves on that.

Moreover, there are many things that even the libertarians can agree on.  Let’s make sure that parents are notified before abortions.  Let’s make sure all women have full informed consent before an abortion.  That alone will cut down the number of the abortions.  Moreover, it is the right thing to do.

Let’s make sure that every dollar is spent wisely.  I would suggest every dime but we have gone well beyond that.  When people do spend recklessly, they need to be relieved of their position and possibly prosecuted.

Let’s permit the executive branch to hold back spending if it is not needed.  Some do not know it, but the President is required by law to spend every dollar that is allocated, even if not needed.  There are not many successful businesses run like that.

We need a total makeover of federal law enforcement.  One place we can start is by de-allocating monies to the FBI and CIA, particularly in the higher ranks.  They need to be trimmed down and their salaries need to be reduced.  They have become top heavy.  (Top heavy is another term for unsuccessful.)  Though the rino group might have problems with that, most of the others will likely go along with that.

I am a pro-military person.  I was in the Marines and I believe in keeping the armed forces strong.  However, spending blindly only destroys the strength of the services.  I have seen the waste from the inside.  I have seen $25 dollar fuses that can be bought at the hardware store for 39 cents.

Being a marine, I do understand mil-spec requirements.  However, just because something meets mil-spec, that is not a reason to pay $24 more.  We can make our armed services stronger.  However, we cannot do it by throwing money at it.  All that does is make the Defense Department fat.

We need to put much more of the power in the hands of state and local governments.  Money is power and that is the way the federal government acquires power…by spending our money.  Many of the departments, especially education can be drastically reduced or even done away with.  However, that department has become like a leech.  It just hangs on and will not let go.  The country club group kind of likes it so we are sort of stuck with it.  Nonetheless, we can sort-of trim it out of existence.

One way we will look back on these days.  We might look back on it glad that we did something about it; or we might look back wishing we had.

One last note, the feds not only spends a lot of money loosely, but they also spend money in places they shouldn’t, as an example sex-ed for kindergartners and gender changes for 3rd graders. Surely all republicans and a even a few dems can agree on that.

The Dems Say It Will End the World

The dems know better than to promote Old Joe as a candidate. All they want to say is that if Trump wins, it will be the end of the world. You better vote fro Old Joe, or look just who will “rule.”

Okay. Maybe I am exaggerating, a little. Certainly, I am not stretching it much. They claim that he will end democracy. Actually, when you come right down to it, it is exactly what the dems are trying to do. They walk all over the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in an attempt to destroy the very document that provides them the freedom to do it.

My guess is, that if the dems win one more presidential election, then the Constitution will be history within a year, though not outwardly. The dems will claim that it is still active, just in a different form. The Bill of Rights will still be present, just with modifications. After all, as they claim, the Constitutions is a living document, which must be altered from time to time for modern times.

Under the new constitution, you will have freedom of religion as long as preachers don’t speak against homosexuality or abortion from the pulpit. You will have the right to speak your mind, as long as you don’t anger the woke folks. You will be able to own and carry a weapon, as long as you never shoot it, even in self-defense. Well, some will be permitted to shoot weapons, as long as they have a D after their name.

You will have the right to remain silent, but if you do, you will be assumed guilty. You will have your right against unlawful seizures, unless you are a Republican trying to win an election against the likes of a Clinton or Joe. In that case, it will be quite easy to get a warrant to tap phones, offices and, yes, even bedrooms. All your papers, computers and cell phones will be subject to being searched and seized.

The FBI will be instructed to release anyone unless he is a member of the opposition. No law enforcement officer will be permitted to pursue any driver, unless he has a second amendment bumper sticker.

Eventually, maybe soon after the election, all radio stations and TV broadcasters that are considered subversive to the “cause” will be forced to cease their broadcasting. People like me, who, in our own little way, try to spread the truth, will be threatened once. Then we will be tossed in prison, for whatever reason they want to invent. If we anger them enough, we will be taken out and shot, by folks who are dead set against the death penalty.

Then, of course, there will soon be no republic, no democracy, no freedom. The history of this country will fade away and the communist will see to it that everyone forgets it.

THEN WHERE WILL FOLKS GO TO BE FREE?

It won’t be the end of the world. However, for many of us who fought for freedom, it may as well be.

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.

Why the Delay?

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Christian values, Collusion, Controllers, Deceit, Education, Politcal Opinion by

It is no secret that the dems wanted to indict President Trump even as he left office. However, they had a strategy for waiting. First, if he wasn’t going to run again, there was no reason to risk the truth getting out. When he decided to run, the dems figuratively turned all their guns on him and opened rapid fire.

The second and more important reason was that it was far more effective to level the charges during the election.

One aspect they might have overlooked is that the charges could actually fall apart in front of their eyes. The egg on faces would be but a small part of their problems.

On the other hand, Trump just might have a strategy of his own. While he provides the distraction, DeSantis just might slip into office unscathed by the dems dirty tricks. That would provide a probability of a very strong president.

The truth of the matter is that any of the major Republican candidates are lightyears ahead of Old Joe…or any dem for that matter. (Sorry. The lightyear idea is a poor one, but I am sure you get the idea.)

On a side note, I saw on the news that a man is going to prison for tax evasion. My guess is, his real mistake was not having a last name of Biden.

The man is guilty of just 1 year of not paying taxes. Joe’s son, Hunter has admitted to 2 years and is likely guilty of at least 4. However, Hunter is quite safe. Not only does his dad control the justice department, but Hunter also knows where all the skeletons are not so well hidden.

A Second Thought

Posted in Abortions, Abuse of Power, Adam Schiff, Awkward Situation, Christian values, Deceit, Hillary Clinton, January 6, law enforcement, Liberals, Politcal Opinion, Uncategorized by

My original thought was that President Trump should try to have his trials moved. Let’s face it. NY, NY is not a friendly town for him anymore. He used to be popular there. Now, when he is tried there, the chances are pretty good that he would be convicted regardless of how weak the case is against him. I would prefer to have the trial moved up to northern New York where he would stand a better chance of winning.

Then of course, almost any republican would be convicted in DC. The city approaches 100 % democrat. Worse, most are very strong democrat.

However, consider this. What if he were tried in NY, NY and found not guilty. What if her were tried in DC and found not guilty. WOW! Would the dems be red faced then. I mean, it would mean he really was not guilty. It would mean the dems really don’t have any proof of any guilt.

It is sort of the way things went while he was still in office. The dems kept saying that they had proof positive. When it came down to time to show the proof, they had none. In spite of four years of some of the most intensive investigations, they had nothing. Even their accusations fell apart in the end.

I suspect, out of all the things President Trump did that the dems were really angry with, the appointments to the Supreme Court were the one thing that really angered them the most. He caused the fall of their great god of abortion. For that, they decided that he must fry. The decided that it was very important that he be made an example.

If they can’t prove him guilty of anything, then they will have failed miserably, especially if they fail with the home team advantage. They will have the judges. They will have the jury. The one thing they really lack is a case.

However, even if they do manage a conviction, it won’t hold up. You and I both know that. The Supreme Court does not like kangaroo courts. That is exactly what the trial in NY, NY will be as well as the one in DC. They know it. The only reason they try is that they are desperately desperate. Once they lose, they will be in a really awkward situation.

Look in the Mirror

Posted in Abuse of Power, Controllers, Elections, Politcal Opinion, Unions by

Those of you in the auto unions want to know the source of all you problems and woes. You just might want to look in the mirror for a big part of them. Had you all not voted for Old Joe, he would not be in the Oval Office. The oil spigots would still be on and lots more folks would be buying cars.

Also, you are now in a new labor competition. While those coming up through the border don’t effect you directly, they do compete with those who do compete with you. If some were not put out of jobs by the illegal aliens, they would not be seeking jobs making cars.

Mostly though, it is that EV idea. I’ve been checking around. Dealers expect to sell a lot of electric cars in 2024. For those unaware, electric motors are far less complex than a gasoline engine. Batteries are less complex that automatic transmissions. Besides, because of Old Joe, it looks like the batteries will be outsourced to China. Those jobs will be done by our number one enemy, the inventors of the China virus and the ones who publicly say they want to be the #1 economy in the world.

To be sure there are those with whom you share the guilt, but it is simple. Without a doubt, those in the unions really shot themselves in the foot this time. (Maybe I should say leg.)

Oh. And by the way. All those folks flowing into this country from all points south, about 8 or 9 million by last count, they will be looking for jobs in a neighborhood near you. You were warned. Not my fault. It’s yours. It is exactly what happens when you hand the reins to the power hungry controllers. I didn’t give them that power. Don’t look at me. Look in the mirror.

Where’s the Penalty

Posted in Biden, Christian values, Crazy Nuts, Elections, Politcal Opinion, Reporters, The Clintons, unbelievable by

The federal court has found the Biden administration guilty of interfering with freedom of speach through social media. Assuming the decision holds, I wonder who will be penalized. Who will go to prison? Who will have have to pay a fine? Who will have this hand slapped?

Who and how will those harmed be compensated? Where is justice when the law has no penalty? If I haul off and hit someone, the chances are pretty good I will go to jail or at least pay a fine. If I say something false about someone that causes him, I’ll likely going to make him richer.

On the other hand, the president and his crew can pretty much do as he wants. Then what happens? If it’s Old Joe, it likely won’t even make the evening news

Might I remind those who care, the above action likely chaged the outcome of the election. And the dems like to say no one is above the law. I guess that is also true when there is no penalty for flagrantly breaking the law.

Remember the Alamo

Posted in Communism, experience, Gathering false infomortion, Important things, Lawyers and Representation, Mistakes, Obama, Politally Correct, Politcal Opinion by

Considering that today is September 11, that’s an odd title for a post, especially considering that the tragedy of 9/11 is far more recent. Moreover, the Alamo was not even in the US at the time. Check your history. It belonged to Mexico. Texas did not become a state for several years later.

However, the Alamo should be remembered and so should 9/11. But, the truth is no one really remembers either one. Both times are studied in history as the we remember the date December 7. Oh wait a minute December 7. That does sound familiar but I am having, oh yes. That was the day that will live in infamy. At least that was what that president said way back then. Now what was his name. I got it. I think it was Wilson, right.

My point is this, many high school grads have no idea why we celebrate July 4, 1976. We all should remember but few do. Just what was it that happened on this current day 22 years ago. Ask around. Do your kids know what happened. Ask them how many died on that day and how. How many remember the so-called purpose for the attack.

It is so easy to forget. Today, it is the first thing talked about on the news. It has likely been replayed a hundred or so times already today. And yet, already, even now, it is beginning to fade into obscurity. It will soon become just another date to remember. After another generation or two it will not even be spoken of much in the schools. The memory will be forgotten. Not only will it be forgotten but it will become obscured. It will be twisted to mean what the socialists will want it to mean.

How many remember the fall of Vietnam. How many know we actually won that war. How many will remember the lost lives there. How many will remember that there was a Korean police action. It is already known as “the forgotten war.”

I often get on the case of the English teachers for not teaching to read and write. Yet that is nothing compared to the way that history is taught. Does anyone out there remember when the war of 1813 was fraught or who we were fighting. I mean, I am 73. It happened a long time before I was born. Why should I remember such things.

I’m a marine. I remember Iwo Jima. A person cannot make it through boot camp without knowing about it. Does this mean that the only way we remember our history is to join the Marines.

I could go on and on with this all day, but you see my point, or at least I hope you do. Hopefully, you will have spotted my intentional errors, though many will not. Try looking up the War of 1813 on the internet.

The man said that those who do not remember the past are doomed to relive it. Let me put it a little differently. Those who fail to remember are doomed to failure and destruction.

So, let’s remember the 9/11 event. But let us not forget Pearl Harbor or the Battle of the Bulge. Let’s not forget the battle we had with communists in Korea. Let’s not forget the men who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. More important, let’s not forget why they fought. Also let’s not forget when Obama and Biden turned tail and ran in both cases. Let’s not forget the way Congress took Nixon’s ability to finish the war in Vietnam. In each case, it costs the lives of millions.

But it is also important to not let the libs redraw history to fit their purpose. It is just as bad as forgetting. Invariably, it will result in reliving the past mistakes, over and over, again and again.

In the Air We Breathe

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Border wall, Bribes, Christian values, Crazy Nuts, Drug Abuse, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Our Legal Systems, Politcal Opinion, Safety, Socialists by

News flash- University of Washington have found traces of drugs in the Washington & Oregon transit systems air and surfaces. If there, then where else?

I guess this means that if the degeration continues, we might need to go back to wearing masks again whenever we go out in public. Even more we also need to wear gloves and carefully discard both after they are removed. It will likely be good to change clothing. Thar stuff can be absorbed through skin.

Keeping that Mexican border open is and was a bad idea. Now, even more important, we need to send good strong signals to China and the cartels. If we don’t, we might need to wear space suits every time we leave our homes.

The worst part is that the party in power does not care one iota. Ask them about the drug problem and all you’ll hear is crickets, that is, unless the insects start getting high too.

Learning From our Mistakes

Posted in Abuse of Power, Communism, Controllers, Education, experience, Politcal Opinion, Uncategorized by

Well, we’ve made the mistake. When are we going to start learning.

Oh. Maybe you are wondering to which mistake am I referring. Well, let’s look at it objectively. In the fifties and sixties, we had some of the best schools in the world. California had the best schools in the schools country.

Odd. Since then, we have increased spending on those schools, not just two fold but ten fold. One would think the quality of the teaching would have skyrocketed. It did… in the negative direction. The teaching has gotten so bad so fast that one would think it intentional. Well, maybe it was intentional. I have often wondered and I am sure I’m not alone.

Shall we take a short walk down memory lane, please. The current Department of Education was signed into law in 1979 by Jimmy Carter (You remember, he was the president who did very little other than give away the Panama Canal. Now that took some brains.) Since that time, the quality of our education has taken a nose dive. Do you suppose that forming the Department of Education just might have been the beginning of mistakes.

Let’s look at two very important objective considerations. The current budget of the department is 68 billion dollars. (seems as if we could build a lot of schools with that.) If distributed equally, that is over a billion dollars for each state. Also it has 4900 employees. I wonder just how many of them actually knows how to teach. I wonder how many ever did teach. It makes me wonder if they really know where to most effectively spend that 68 billion dollars.

When I started this post, I did feel I should Google the department. At that point, I only had a vague idea on what I would be writing. Right there on the computer screen was a photo of a big building. (I really mean it is big.) Do they have to have a big building? Does it serve any purpose. I am sure that building must require maintenance, utilities and upkeep. It makes me wonder if those going green folks realize the waste. Actually, when you come right down to it, the US government likely generates a lot of carbon dioxide in buildings like that. You ever take a tour of DC. There is a big building for this and a big building for that. There are many of them and I suspect there are more planned. Shut that city down for a month and we could run Southaven on the savings all year and then some. My electric car would likely go around the world… forget that. I don’t think I could make that calculation.

At any rate, my best guess, that big department likely takes it’s orders from the National Education Association, a union. I don’t think that the union has the interest of our kids at heart. Like most unions, their biggest interest is the union…gaining and maintaining money and power. If the kids get educated, it is totally by accident and the local education system.

The department controls local schools in three ways. They collect statistics. The distribute money, but only to those who meet the standards of the department. It makes little difference of those standards are good or bad. Finally, they make sure that there is no segregation in the schools. Surely, all this can be done locally. Why do we need a big brother in DC to tell the local schools and teachers what to do.

Well, how is the centralized system working out for us? Well, they collect the stats. They, themselves ought to be able to tell us. I don’t have to guess. You don’t have to guess. Since their formation… by their own stats, they have failed miserably. If we are ever going to learn from our mistake, I’d say the best thing to do is do away with the Department of Education and let the homeless move into that big building. It would solve 2 problems. The schools would start improving and homeless would have somewhere to stay. Actually, a lot of homeless people could stay there.

Okay. It won’t solve everything and I know it. It will help. The big mistake is this, more money does not always equal better teaching. If you want better teaching, you need better teachers, better curriculum, and less overhead. As I said, those folks in the department hierarchy don’t teach. They are what I call, “Hangers on.” At the state level, there are thousands who work for the school system who don’t teach or for that matter directly support the teachers.

By the way, the state of California has its own education quagmire. They have 2740 employees and a budget of over 89 billion dollars. I wonder just how many of them know how to teach. Just how many of them know where the money will do the most good. My guess is they get many of their orders from the N.E.A. too.

I think the big part of the mistake is centralizing the education system. Those folks up there in those really big buildings have no idea of what is going on in the classrooms. I think most experienced good teachers will agree with me. On the other hand, the mediocre teachers will prefer the protection provided by the union.
