The ‘I’ Word is Back

Did anyone note, they just reported 3% annualized INFLATION rate. Incidentally, as you know, it’s worse than they report. Every visit to the store should reveal that to us. In case you didn’t notice, the Dims lie and distort the numbers as much as they can.

Why should anyone be surprised? I’m not.

Unfortunately

Often, while chasing Utopian dreams, we’re confronted by reality. Such is the way it was for most of the Dems in the past few months.

It is important to have dreams. Oddly, sometimes they come true. Still, if you don’t keep at least one foot grounded in reality, gravity one day, may cause you to have a great fall. And of course, as anyone with a brain in their head knows, the fall is harmless. The real hazard is that sudden deceleration waiting patiently at the end.

The problem is, the Dems have been jumping off cliffs with no regard for reality or gravity.

This is My Guess, if You Want to Know.

Will all the folks in LA County get help with their homes, schools & businesses that were burnt to the ground from Uncle Sam? Yup. Likely at least 80%, maybe 100%. For some, 110%.

Will North Carolina get any help with their homes & schools? Maybe as much as 50%.

It will be the last thing the dems will leave for us before they vacate the White House.

An Alternate Universe

I wish I had a ten dollar bill for every time time I’ve been told how prohibition failed…very badly. Regretfully, I must agree. Partly, this was because those in charge of enforcement of the law were some of the worst violators of the law.

I guess we have learned our lesson. When it came to tobacco, they realized they needed a different approach. They didn’t even consider outlawing it.

Instead, they used a multi-pronged approach. They virtually stopped smoking in this country. All advertising, drastically decreased, it was gradually disallowed in various places and now it is banned just almost entirely.

Very few smoke today. Another decade or two and it will virtually disappear from our nation, to which I say, GOOD RIDDANCE! Who knows? It might stop climate change.

How-some-ever, it has prompted me to think, what if we had used the same method on alcoholic beverages? If, and again I say if we had used the other other method as with tobacco, would we today be living in an alternate universe?

Perhaps, today many people would have their loved ones they lost in a car accident caused by someone under the influence. Maybe there would be thousands less divorces and no one could figure the children would who would have been saved from broken homes. I can’t even imagine a guess at all the health problems that wouldn’t have been suffered. Alcoholic beverages cause more severe health problems than tobacco. If you doubt what I’m saying, ask Mickey Mantle. Oops. Can’t do that. He died from liver disease brought by alcoholic beverages.

Many times I have been told that alcoholism is the number one drug problem in this country. And yet alcoholic beverages are some of the biggest advertisers in the US. When you include the subtle ads hidden in plain sight In movies and TV shows. And, of course, they always put good light on it. And, of course, they make it appear as if it is far more common than in the real world.

For me, I would much prefer that alternate universe. The problem is I must live in the one I’m in. So does everyone else.

Ben’s Law About Voting

Those who go to sleep after voting for Democrats, AKA communists, will wake with nightmares. Just ask those who have lost those multi-million dollar homes in L.A. County.

In truth, they suffered the consequences, though they might not want to associate the one thing with the other. Sometimes, people refuse to learn from the obvious lesson.

Sorta What Happens When You Vote For Democrats

About 30 years ago, I broke my ankle. My wife called 911. Both ambulance attendants were women, not much more than a 100 pounds, each. Had it not been for several neighbors that came over to help, they would not have been able to put me on a stretcher, let alone in the ambulance.

It does bring up the question. Would you rather two small women come out to help you if your life depended on it, or 2 big strong men?

The fact is that sometimes , it’s not a matter of what you like or want, But rather what you need.

Sometimes, sending a couple of 110 pound women to put a 260 pound man a stretcher is ludicrous.

As it was, things turned out somewhat OK. As it was, the time element was not that critical. It only meant additional pain and swelling. Fortunately, if was not life or death. Thankfully, they did have some men to help.

The fact is, as far as I’m concerned, there are just some jobs women should not apply for… Least wise, the110 pound variety.

And here’s my question of the day. Why in the world should I, or anyone need to ever argue this point. It really should be casual to the most obvious observer. Don’t you think?

The State of No Common Sense

The dems of California tell us they don’t clear the underbrush and dead wood because it would destroy the environment for the wild life.

After the huge wild fires recently, where are those environments for the wild life now. For that matter, where is the wild life?

Additionally, the gasses released from wild fires are far more caustic and dangerous to the atmosphere than what comes from a car or gas stove. I have no real idea of the equivalent of a fire like those around LA county as compared to autos. My best guess is we are talking in the millions of miles. Maybe we can put some of these going green scientists to work figuring out how much and what type poisonous material was released by these fires. Maybe they can tell us about all the green house gases that will now contribute to climate change.

I don’t understand why the calculations have not already been made and posted by press. If some factory belched out those gases, someone would already be dragged to court by now and maybe half convicted.

It’s only common sense, you see.
