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.

Quote of the Week

One reason I wish I had a video recorder is that I would like to make my quotes direct. So, well, this is the quote as best I can remember it by Mary Katherine Ham on the Sunday news program.

President Trump’s popularity is because he keeps doing things the rest should have done long ago.

Oddly, as obvious as it clearly is, I have not heard anyone else say it, not even by myself. It’s somewhat why it’s so quotable. It’s somewhat why it should have been said long ago. And, by the way, it is somewhat characteristic of what Trump does as well as how he does it. It is how he became President and it is likely why he will go down in history as one of the best. He just keeps doing things others say cannot be done. I might also add it’s what should have been done long ago.

I mean, all the other presidents could have secured the border. We are now suffering many problems because none of the others ever tried. If they had, it would have been done. Trump proved it could be done by doing it. He embarrassed today’s power structures by doing what they called impossible—repeatedly.. One more thing. He did it while most of the rest of leadership, especially democrats; and most of media opposed him at every chance they had.

VERY WELL SAID MARY KATHERINE HAM!

Revisiting Jan 6

It’s been 4 years. I don’t know, but I suspect that some that were imprisoned have not been charged. No one, but no one did anything worthy of imprisoning past 4 years.

My suggestion to President Trump is to commute the sentences of all those arrested in conjunction with Jan 6. Then allow each to present reason for pardons. Some will be obvious and can quickly be pardoned. For instance, those who never went inside the building.

On the other hand, I think Ray Epps should be chased down by the Marshal service and investigated. Not by the FBI. They likely have a bias in the matter. Moreover, an agent should be selected away from the DC area to keep him from being tainted as well.

Finally, a special investigator should be selected to interview each of the ones who were arrested. If they were denied their rights, those responsible should, at the least be given the opportunity to resign without benefits.

When the rest see what happens, it will be less likely to happen again.

Tires Without Air

I’m sure most of us have had to face the frustration of a flat tire. One time while I was a relatively new driver, I was on the interstate doing 70 mph when all of a sudden the right front of my car dropped. It is no fun trying to steer a car going 70 mph with one of the front tires completely flat. That was the day I got the first hand education on what to do when you get a blowout.

I took hold the wheel as hard as I could and just kept the car as strait as I could. I had been through driver’s ed and I remembered that I should not slam on the breaks so I didn’t. I took my foot off the gas and waited until the car slowed and pulled it off onto the shoulder.

By the way, this was the first time I changed a flat. What an education I got that day. The car was just a few months old, so I was totally confused as to why the tire went flat… so fast.

I put the spare on, which was a real wheel, and took the flat one to the dealer. He inspected the tire and wheel and found nothing abnormal. Well, I want you to know, that one remained the spare until I traded the car in four years later. In all that time, it was never again on the road.

Well, I have had flats since, and one thing never changed. They are no fun. That is especially true when they occur in pairs. I didn’t like that one at all. I only had one spare and it was about a mile to the nearest station.

One time, I had a flat in a real down poor. I didn’t like that one any more than the blowout. Maybe it wasn’t as dangerous but I got a lot more wet. Incidentally, a person can only get so wet. Once a certain point is reached, the water just falls off.

Why all the complaining about flat tires? I was browsing the web the other day and came upon an article about tires with no air. Now that caught my attention. It was just a short article and I am not sure if it is legitimate.

It might be. I hope it is. I don’t like it when I get flats and the tire they were speaking of did not go flat. I kind of like that idea.

Well, at any rate, they say they need a little more research and they still need them to be approved. They said 3 or 4 more years before they put them on new cars. Better they put them on mine.

The Split Democrats

Old Joe has managed to do something I thought was impossible. He has split the party. Part of the party is standing behind him, ready to lie and deceive for him. The other half is busy trying to figure out how to throw the man off the Democrat ticket. While, at the same time, trying to figure out with whom to replace him.

This, of course, while the individuals try to maintain and increase their individual and collective political power.

I guess all the while, it is all triggered by power. Many who are closely associated with Old Joe don’t want him to go down in flames. The rest, who have finally seen the handwriting on the wall, realize that if they have any hopes of maintaining the power are ready toss Old Joe overboard in hopes of saving the ship.

(Is that what they call a mixed metaphor? Either way, I am sure you know what I mean.)

[Let’s Add a Title] (Oops) Our Castles, Our Castles, Our Homes

Just finished watching the news, which was followed by an infomercial of hometitlelock.com. I would suspect that at any time of the day or night, I can find a station that is or soon will be advertising it or something similar.

I have no idea how much that advertising costs, but it has to be a bunch.

Do you know what that tells me? That tells me that protecting homes is a very profitable business. Otherwise, there is no way they could afford all that advertising.

So, I think we can safely say, thieves stealing homes are not the only ones who make their fortunes from the thievery. It would seem, the aforementioned corporation, the advertising companies as well as the radio and TV stations are likely making their bundles of wealth from it too.

We can stop all this, you know. We can change the laws and we can change the priorities of law enforcement. We need laws that make it much more difficult. That alone would cause a drop in stolen homes. However, if we zero in on and throw as many house stealers as we can and put the in prison, as well, the aforementioned corporation will no longer be able to afford all the advertising.

My personal opinion is, that is a good thing, though some will need to go looking for other means of earning money, maybe something of more purpose.

Root of Evil

What is it that can cause a person to steal from friends and relatives. What is it that can drive us to risk the well being of ourselves, our friends, our community and our nation.

Some have indeed abandoned oath of office and the good of constituents. It has caused judges and upstanding citizens disgrace and ruin.

I am sure, by now, most of you have figured it out. It is as Jesus said. The root of all evil is the love of money.

Indeed, when a man loves money more than than his brothers, then his brothers are not safe from him. When a president loves money more than his country, you get someone who looks a lot like Old Joe.

When a husband loves money more than his wife and family, he loses that which he has in casinos because of sicknessof greed. Moreover, he will steal so as to lose even more.

The love of money will drive a soldier or sailor to betray his country and the nation that loves money more than God will fall suddenly. For the one citizen will not trust the other.

Money causes man to do ugly things such as selling his fellow man into slavery and the woman into evil so as to increase his wealth. t will destroy the guilty man’s conscience so he knows no guilt.

In a strange ugly way, there are those evil men who seek money by distortion of God’s word, by promising wealth to those who will only have faith.

Let’s Keep the Proper Perspective

if Trump had remained in office, the price of oil would have remained $30 a barrel or less. Putin would not have been able to afford to attack Ukraine. Iran would not have had the money to back HAMAS and other Israel haters. Hence, there would have been no war in the Middle East. China would not be causing us grief with drugs and Nationalist China (Fomosa).

We would not have illegal immigrants running across the border and they would not be killing our citizens by the tens of thousands. (via drugs and in other ways)

Finally, we would not have new insurgents of diseases such as measles, TB and likely a few others.

Of course, the dems don’t care. All they wanted to do was to get the orange man out of office, and why. Just what damage did he do, other than to those who hate the US and our Constitution?

The fact is, the only people he hampered were those who were seeking power and money.

Dirty Filthy Politics

I know they saynall is fair in polotics, but this is a new low. Nicky Haley knows very well the tactics the dems are using. She is very well aware that all the charges aginst Trump are trumped up and empty. Yet, without shame, she climbs right on the dem bandwagon in an attemt to make Trump look bad.

She should hope her methods don’t work. If those dems turn their figuritive guns on her, most certainly she won’t figuritively survive them for a day.

Now tell me, just what real help does she hope to provide the republicans. The only ones she is helping are the rinos.

Water

Have you ever noticed man’s obsession with water. The Sons of the Pioneers must have known of it. They sung the song about it.  I have heard it, perhaps 1000+ times and still, every time I hear it, it still makes me want a tall glass of ice cold water.

To be sure, it is one of the basic requirements for life. It is what gives beauty to an arid land. Frozen, it turns mountains into breath taking landscapes. Those who have money have big swimming pools. They truly are for swimming, but, have you noticed, they make a back yard look so nice. Sometimes, they can become mesmerizing.

The Romans got it. Have you noticed how many fountains are in the city of Rome. Have you ever been made aware of the miles of aqueducts they built. Certainly, they were obsessed with water.

You see, it’s not just important. It’s essential. It’s not just nice to look at. It’s useful. Though water covers 2 thirds of the world, people die for lack of it. Oddly, some die because of too much of it.

People paint it. People photograph it. People ski on it…as liquid and frozen. We dodge the rain drops as others pray for the rain. We use it to transport enormous quantities up and down rivers or accoss oceans.

We use it for cleaning. How well do you suppose that fancy dishwasher will work without a water source. You ever try mopping a floor without soap and water. And, just how clean will you be able to keep that, pride and joy, automobile without water.

There are places in this world where they don’t have nice lawns or gardens for lack of water. On the other hand, some live on the water, which also prevents lawns.

Jesus knew what he was doing when He promised us living water. What else would have provided such a mental picture? I mean man truly is obsessed with water.

On the other hand, most of us just take it for granted. There is, after all, an endless supply for us. All we need do is turn on the Fawcett.
