Agin’ the Rules?

Some say it is against the rules for Ukraine to kill Russian soldiers in Russia. However, I guess it is perfectly okay to kill Ukrainian soldiers, and civilians in Ukraine.

Of course, the rules are always in favor of the Russians, even in the Olympics. How-some-ever, more than gold medals are involved here in this attempt to take over a smaller nation, which we agreed to protect, in case you forgot.

The Great Deception

According to  David Zalubowski (AP), more than a hundred kids with illnesses were put on a United Airline flight from Denver to Denver. Of all things, they were deceiving the kids, saying it was a flight to the North Pole. When they returned, they had a hanger made up like the North Pole and the kids visited a man who was pretending to be Santa Clause.

This deceit was carried out many other places, according to Mr.  David Zalubowski. So that you get the story straight, you might read his story directly, lest you not believe me at

Honestly, thanks to United and the the great deceit crew. They deserve a lot of recognition from all of us.

And by the way, I hope David Zalubowski won’t mind me repeating part of his article, with a little distortion.

When You See a Rat…

One thing I have learned over the years is that if you see a rat, you have an infestation. Invariably, if you do nothing, you will start seeing the rest.

Best thing to do, get a couple of big tom cats. In a while, you’ll stop seeing rats or rat signs. I’m not trying to say that one thing has anything to do with the other, but I kind of expect it does.

Now why would I say such a disgusting thing? Well, look around. Have you noticed the rats (dems) have startwd squeaking, scurrying around and heading for the saltwater. Clearly, rats don’t like the seawater, but they prefer it to the alternative.

It would seem to be that the word has gotten around, Trump means business. Even though he is not yet in office, They realize the jig is up. Even the media is starting to try to eat their words, though a little too late.

The Fantastic 401k (and things like it)

I don’t remember when I got my first 401k but it had to be a long time ago. So, maybe you can gain from what I learned. There are many things I learned from many different aspects. However, there are two things I need to say before I go into it.

First and foremost, it is quite plausible that you can benefit from the plans. Actually, both my wife and I have. However, it is in spite of the system rather than because of it.

Second, all expertise I have, or at least for the most part, is from the college of hard knocks. You just may benefit from it.

Now, the first and most important thing I need to say is that there are real possibilities of losses. I know. They do caution you about this before you sign on the dotted line. However, what they don’t tell you is that once you take out a 401k agreement, you have, in essence have agreed to help hold up the stock market.

Let me explain. Over the years, the stock market took nose dives and leveled off. Then it gradually started going back up. Why shouldn’t it go that way. People like me were underwriting the stock market. We kept our money in, which, as you can imagine, helped the stock market to hold it’s value.

It would appear that the feds have discovered a way to keep the market from crashing, the 401ks. In case you haven’t noticed, it works. Though the market has threatened, it has never crashed since the 401k. Aren’t we all having fun playing Atlas holding the financial world on our shoulders.

Now why is it that we are doing this? Is it out of the goodness of our heart? Of course not. We keep our money in the accounts for two reasons, which the gov was careful to put in there. First, there is a penalty, a substantial one, which they make sure we know about. It is about the same as a threat, you know.

However, if that is not enough, the IRS will take a chunk too. Naturally, the amount is dependent is on a number of things. What tax bracket you’re in, how much you withdraw, and how many tax dodges your accountant can come up with.

So. If you lose your job, then you lose your car, then you lose your house, you make sure to keep that money in the account to keep from paying the penalties. It’s okay. You can buy a good tent with what you get from your wife’s wedding ring.

Okay. I’m am painting an extreme picture. However, it is to get your attention. I just want to get through to you that once you put a dollar or two in the system, it can be difficult to get it out, no matter how much you need it. The Feds don’t really care how much Tiny Tim needs that expensive operation, you see.

They do want you to keep it in there. Imagine if you will, the stock market takes a dive. The next day, all those with 401ks pull their dollars out and the market collapses faster than the Trade Center Towers.

I know. A bad comparison. I realize it. However, I won’t apologize. It could have nearly the same results. May I remind you, people were throwing themselves from buildings in the great depression too.

The point is this, before you set up your 401k account, be aware as to what might happen. It will be difficult to get it back out… and you might want it back out.

Secondly, be aware that your money just might be going to finance things you really don’t like. For instance. you might be one of those who now has a bad taste in your mouth out of what Disney has been doing. For sure I do. And, right now, I have money behind that outfit and I don’t like it one bit. However, I can’t do a thing about it, that is, unless I am willing to take a big loss. Too bad for me. I should have thought about that before I put my money in the account. I cannot tie an instruction on my money, this dollar must not go to Disney.

Then too, a little over a year ago, I decided to buy a new electric car. I could have paid cash for it, if I took the money out of my account. However, the instant I did that, I would have had to make a big check out to Uncle Sam, specifically, to IRS. So, instead, I am paying 9% interest on the car loan for 8 years. Now isn’t that neat. I have all that money sitting there in an account and I can’t pay cash for a car.

They want you to keep your money in that 401k, don’t you know. (They) being the federal government.

Remember, I am not making suggestions. I am just letting you take advantage of my mistakes.

School Selection

Let’s look at a simple hypothetic situation. There are ten public schools in your city. Being as it is hypothetic, let’s say your child is a son. Moreover, he has just been assigned to the worst school, or even the second worst one.

Now would you like that. Let’s go one step farther and say your son is assigned to the worst teacher in the school for his grade.

Now do you suppose maybe you’d start raising a complaint or three? I don’t know. It’s why I am asking. All the time such things happen and few if any parents complain. We have teachers in our schools who are not teaching their students to read and write.

It does make me wonder, who is teaching the teachers. When I was in the Marines, I taught for 3 years. If I had a record like that, I would not have been teaching long. If I couldn’t teach, I would have never started in the first place. Too much depends on it. Do we want marines working on equipment that know not what they are doing?

Reading and writing are the most important things our children learn in school, and they aren’t teaching them, regardless of the rhyme or reason.

And still, the dems dig their feet deep in the earth and refuse to allow monies to go to private schools. Some say it would cause harm to the public schools. Well, I say fine. If they are not doing even the basic job, this in spite of being better financed than any other county on the planet, maybe it’s time for us to allow the current system fade off into obscurity. I mean, what good are they doing our children now. Looks to me as if we are just tossing all that funding down the tube. And it would seem all of our children are being sent to the worst schools in the system and I don’t understand how that can be. Even more, I don’t see folks complaining so much.

Drone-ology

Okay. I am no expert on drones but I have noted a few things maybe not thought of by others. I must say, I was thrown a little curve by a news report Saturday until I figured it out.

The news was reporting school bus sized drones. I had a hard time buying that. Most private drones aren’t nearly that size. Then I put my brain in gear and I figured it out. A good group of folks with drones can really play tricks on people. If one of these guys had 8 or 10 drones programed to fly together at set distances apart and at programmed positions, they could easily look look like one big drone. I have seen it demonstrated.

Incidentally, if you took a rifle to a group of drones like this and aimed at the center of the large apparent drone, the bullet would likely go right through the midst of all the drones and miss them all. A person might go through a couple of magazines trying to shoot down one of these really “big drones,” and never hit one of them. I mean 95 % of what looks like one of these bus sized drones would be nothing but air.

I would suspect someone is playing a joke on us. Otherwise, why do they only fly at night.

Incidentally, if they want to disappear, they could turn the lights out and scatter. They might find one or two of the actual drones but the pseudo-huge-drone would vanish into thin air.

Regardless, if our department of defense can’t figure it all out, it is another reason for getting Pete in there as fast as possible. It is time to get these idiots out of there that were appointed by the dems. I mean, it has been going on for what, a week, maybe a little more and so far they have determined effectively nothing. If the prankster’s stopped, no one would ever find out anything.

Now Here’s a Novel Idea

I can’t say it’s Biblical. I’m not even sure that it something that God wants us to teach. However, I can’t help but think that, if any nation followed this one thing, it would be a very big profit to that nation and it’s people. As an aside, I can’t help but believe that it would help the world as well.

God gave Israel the ten commandments. They were a gift. Those people that follow The Ten Commandments will prosper, even if they refuse to believe in God. It sounds ridiculous, but I have given the matter a great deal of thought. Consider, if all Americans stopped lying, killing, robbing, or even seeking after that which is owned by another.

However, putting that aside for a moment, and what makes my suggestion unique, what if the national government sought to follow the Commandments diligently. I mean, do we really want a government that mistreats our citizens, such as killing the innocent, like unborn babies. Do we really want a government that steals from the citizens, such as exorbitant taxation for the benefit of those that are part of the government. Do we really want a government that is dishonest that lies to us and diligently hides pertinent information from us.

Perhaps, most of all, do we want a greedy government that provides lavishly for itself while taking from those who put in an honest 40 or 45 hour week without valid reason. Do we really want a government that denies the existence of God and instead worships evolution, a baseless, unproved theory. Do we want a government that viciously endeavors to hide and deny the existence of the one true God.

It does make me ask, how and why is it that God would ever want to bless such a nation.

And feeble men ask why we have troubles and trials.

Come to think of it, maybe it is about time to rethink the way that businesses are ran as well. Is it really such a novel idea? Seems that that was kind of the way we ran things after the Revolutionary War, or at least tried. Have we actually been improving things since then?

I wonder, just what would kind of report card would George Washington and Abe Lincoln give our current day government. I have the suspicion they would be more than a little embarrassed by what we today call the United States of America. That, by the way, is true of those on both sides of that theoretical line that is in Congress.

Intelligent Minds…

Tonight, at 9 pm, I was listening to James T Harris subsing on the Jessse Kelly Show. It was as if he had read my last post, “The Truth Comes Out.” It was almost as if he was reading my most. The problem with that is that his show was recorded about 2 to 3 before I wrote my post. However, it was played on my local station about an hour after I release my most.

That might suggest that I copied his show. The problem with that is that I did now hear his show until after I published my post.

No doubt, he was first. However, I had no access to his show before I wrote my post.

Maybe we just think alike. I am open to other suggestions.

Salads… They’re Disappearing

I am sure, it was not that long ago that MacDonald’s used to sell salads. One strange aspect of it, they did not serve it with thousand island dressing. I say it is odd, because, to the best of my knowledge they put it on the Big Mac.

If you should find yourself in one of their stores, I think you will note, the salads are gone. They are no longer on the menu. I wonder who it was that made that decision. Well, truth be told, they weren’t all that good anyway. So, maybe not so many ordered them, especially without the thousand island.

There used to be a place just down the road that had a salad bar, a good one. The name of the place was Danver’s. They also had the best roast beef around. It’s no longer there. I don’t like that. I went there quite a bit. I do miss their salad bar, but I really miss their roast beef.

I can’t remember if Burger King had salads, but they don’t have them now.

Wendy’s still has salads. They have one I particularly like called a taco salad. They throw a bunch of lettuce and tomatoes in a bowl and give you taco chips and a bowl of chili to toss on top of it. For me, it is something of a meal in a bowl. It does taste far better than it sounds.

The hitch is, they don’t like me going into Wendy’s. It seems here, lately, every time I try to go in, the doors are locked. Well, they let me go through their drive through, but as you know, I don’t do drive throughs. Besides, I just can’t imagine me trying to eat one one of those salads in my car. For that matter, I can’t imagine eating one of their burgers in my car. After all, my car is just a little over a year old and the interior is still in good shape. Effectively, those salads are not available to me.

There was a day, before the virus that their dining rooms were full, even before that, they had a salad bar. Sometimes we went there after church and I would get a salad with my burger.

One day, I was fixing my salad and there were three elderly women who had opened the wrapping from the burger and they were all fixing themselves a salad on the wrapper. From the way they dressed, it was easy to tell they had just been to church.

Now, I ask you is that right. Not only were they stealing the salad, but they are putting a bad example before God. It’s what is known in the church as being a bad witness.

I mean, it appeared that when these old women arrived, maybe they need to watch them, or better, close the salad bar until they leave.

It is sort of the way things work in the capitalist system. It relies on people being honest. When people rob the businesses the businesses will go out of business. The more they steal, the faster the business goes under.

On the other hand, that goes the other way too, now doesn’t it. When a business gets a bad reputation, doesn’t that hurt their bottom line too.

Of Course They Don’t Know

They keep asking about the drones and “THEY” keep saying they don’t know.

Of course “THEY” don’t know. Of course it might help if “THEY” take their heads out of the sand. It does work better that way, you know.

My guess is “THEY” are telling the truth. “THEY” have hid THEIR heads in the sand so as they won’t ever know. That way, even under the test of a super lie detector, no lies will ever be detected or even suspected.
