What Do They Want, Please Say It Aloud.

A while ago, the call was for less police, less putting people in jail, and of course less bail. Now, I see on TV, they are calling to get the hooligans off the road that are doing doughnuts in the road.

They are also complaining about the car thievery. Some are having the nerve to complain about the thievery and destruction in the stores.

I thought it was clear that when you decreased policing; when you threaten police when they do their job, it was precisely what you were begging for.

So what do the people of Memphis want now. Honest, you got exactly what you voted for. The dems promised to defund the police and they did. They promised to do away with bail and they did. The dems promised to protect you from the police and they are. You voted for them and you got exactly what you voted for.

Now, if you have changed your mind, guess what. It is going to take a while. those dems will not give up their power willingly. They will even pretend they, too, want a reversal of polocies.

Don’t believe them. vote them out first chance you get. If you let them maintain their control, they will let the criminals loose, just as they already did.

If you want law & order and you don’t replace those dems next election, it’s best you leave and quickly. Those who delay the most will be the ones who will have a tough time selling their real estate and businesses. Also, they just might be the ones who will have a hard time getting that U-Haul. or pro movers.

For my brief aside, the same could be accurately said about NY, NY. Those folks up there are stuck on dem so hard, even if it meant burning down the city, they’d still vote dem.

Time for an Auction

Heard something on the radio I was unable confirm. Sorry. However, in my search, I came across something few talk or write about.

As near as I can tell, there are many yachts taken to sanction Russian wealthy people. At least one is in San Diego Harbor. Wonder who is taking care of it. Wonder who is paying for the slip and security. Slips for 350 foot yachts are not cheap.

Apparently, it is far from being alone. For a former communist country, for a relatively poor country, they sure seem to have a lot of very wealthy people.

Moreover, they seem to be having many foriegn tax payers pay, perhaps collectively billions to tend their big boats.

That is not right. Maybe it is time to hold a big auction.

Somehow, I don’t think that will happen. Those wealthy people have power and I’m sure it extends outside the Russian borders and inside ours. If you don’t believe me, watch what happens if we got serious with the idea.

As near as I can tell, they are benefitting from the sanctions. Though they might temporarily lose the use of the yachts, they still own them and we take care of them in the meantime.

As long as we are throwing away money, maybe they can toss a grand or two my way. I wouldn’t mind.

All of Them

Well, those as an adult anyway. It seemed every time, I left good friends. Some might find this odd, but I left some of my best friends at the restaurant where I worked. However, the Marines were calling.

Things were different in the Marines, a lot different. I learned so much while there. And when I say there, there was a few different places. I saw many places and many peoples I would not have seen as a civilian

There were many things I hated to leave in the Marines. No one leaves the Marines after 9 years without leaving part of him behind.

I settled in Mempis after being discharged. I was stationed there twice and was familiar with it. There was much I liked about it. Then, that was before the dems got control. As many did at the time, I moved south of the stateline.

For a while, I continued to work out of Memphis, but took calls in Ark, Mo and even spent time in Detroit, and Dallas repairing computers. I would have prefered to do that the rest of my life, but computers don’t break anymore.

I had taught for 3 years in the Marines. So I decided to give it a try at NAS Memphis. There is nothing better than teaching. If I didn’t need to eat, I would do it for nothing.

How-some-ever, one day I woke up and found out they were tearing down the Berlin Wall. They packed up the training center and moved it to Pensicola. I was suddenly out of the best job I ever had.

At that point, I found a couple of jobs as a computer operator. It was a good for an older man. Then, it was the hardest phase. Retirement.

Don’t much care for retirement. It’s better to have something productive to do.

Mark This One For for the Businesses

From the post a couple days ago, Business or Lives. It would seem they chose the businesses over the lives. It would appear the dollars won again.

I hope everyone realizes I am intentionally being a little extreme. However, I do have some question as to how many lives it would take to actually get such a law passed. I mean, we are talking 2 very high priority subjects, beer and money.

At any rate, the beer drinkers will be happy to know that they will still be able to stop off for a cold one on the way home from work. They will not have to drink their beer warm.

I Wish I Knew

Actually, maybe it’s good I don’t know. At 76, I do have some suspicions. I have some hopes. However, fact is…in six months I might not be here.

If permitted, one last thought. Maybe the people from Memphis will know how to drive and they will have stopped shooting at each other.

What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

Choices

  1. When Germany attacked England, it was their choice. It was a horrible country they were left with, but when one nation chooses to attack a superior foe, they really need to expect it.
  2. When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, they never expected such a retaliation. Many Japanese still have hard feelings over those bombs, yet they would not have hesitated to use them on us. Their designs were to rule over us. At war’s end, we had won the right to rule over them totally. We didn’t.
  3. When the Palistanians made the choice to attack Israelis, They knew they would be the subject of a massive retaliation. Yet, the instant of the counterattact, they took the stature of the victim.

The Palistinians are suffering much. Yet, they have the ability to stop the war almost instantly. If they put down their weapons, the shooting will stop.

To be sure the civilian suffer, as did the Jewish civilians at the attack by the Palistinians. However, the palistines cause the death of civilians by using them as shields.

Yet they continue to fight without hope or cause. For their cause, they will lose all including their land, perhaps even their lives.

As a side note, there were scirmishes as Trump took office. When he left, there were no wars or even scirmishes. The Middle East was a pretty peaceful place, or have you forgotten?

A Quick Word About Radar

As near as I can tell, the beginning of WWII was the also the beginning of the importance of radar. While still in its infancy, it allowed the Royal Air Force to meet the German bombers enroute and drstroy many before they reached England.

What bothered the Germans is that, one day, they were destoyed, the next they were fully operational.

From the beginning, and even now, radar is easily destroyed and easily repaired. I am sure it does cost some to repair a radar system, but far more to destroy.

Many think thay Gemany made a mistake trying tp destroy the radar instead of the air fields. Taking out aircraft on the ground would have had longer lasting affect.

And now Biden errors likewise. I we are spending more to destroy those radar sites than their cost to replace them. It is not very effective.

The only real logical time to take out radar sites is when it will be immediately followed by air strikes on real targets, this do that they will not br able to use their radar for their defense.

National Recognition

Memphis has been been noticed nationally for crime and for driving. The reporters came to town and said things I’ve been saying about the crime in Memphis. They said things about Memphis drivers I knew for for decades.

Yet, I suspect not many will pay attention to me, or the reporters. So, busineses will continue to shut down. People will continue to move away, mostly the law abiding ones. Generally, those who would have stores and such will pull up stakes and leave.

If things continue, FedEx will close their hub. The ball teams will find other places to play where it’s safer. Then, invariably, even the leaders, the dems who originated all the grief will draw up their anchors and find somewhere else to ruin, as they did with Memphis.

Why? Why? Why?

I’ve watched a number of the documeteries on TV about plane accidents. I have about come to the conclusion that plane accidents, as well as number of other things, are simply impossible without a chain of events leading up to them.

Because this happened, then this happens, which causes this. Then, suddenly people die or are injured. If any one of several things was prevented, the accident would have never ocurred.

Then after, people ask why did this happen? Why wasn’t this preveted? It is why things are checked, double checked and then tripple checked. It is why, before I pull out in traffic while driving, I double check and check again as I begin slowly moving.

I have never been in an OR during a procedure, that is while awake and alert. However, I imagine there is a lot of check and double checking there too. Do they not know the number of spunges they start with. Don’t they count them as they are used. I am sure they count them again to make sure they are all accounted for. Do they not check and double check all instruments are accounted for.

Moreover, the doctor, as much as possible, explains what will be done and what might go wrong. When the doctor put the stints in my heart he gave me a complete blow by blow what he would do and might go wrong. In a calm matter of fact way, he told of the chances that I might die. Incidentally, he caused a heart attack and I almost did. Things do happen on very basic procedures.

On the other hand, a young woman can walk into an abortion clinic, plop down a check. Then after a short time, she will walk out without the baby.

There is no true councoling. Requiremets for a germ free environment don’t exist. If someting goes wrong, they might need to transport her to a hospital. Finally, the doctor is not reqired to explain what he is going to do, how much pain it will cause the baby or what complications might happen.

So, I ask, why can’t the doctor be required to explain what he will do and what might happen?

Why shouldn’t the doctor be required to meet a proper steril environment? Why shouldn’t the clinic be reqired to be close to a hospital in case something goes wrong?

Finally, why shouldn’t the abortionist be required to have at least one follow up visit?
