An Afterthought

Reference: previous post, Two Reports.

Don’t know why I always think of these things late. May we for a moment assume that the report is true about Old Joe flying all these, illegals into the country. I am sure we tax payers are picking up the tab.

On the other hand, each passenger might be paying 4 or 5 thousand dollars to… Old Joe. Without doing the math, I think that is a bunch of money. Then too, it might not ever be declared on his taxes. How is the IRS going to find out. who’s going to drop the dime on Old Joe, the man with the Justice Department in his pocket.

Two Reports

From a few sources, I have heard of Old Joe admitting to transporting 320 thousand illegal aliens from physical locations outside our borders into the US.

Then I have heard the cheerleaders (aka news anchors) jeer at the report, saying it would be improbable. He said it would be far too many.

Let’s look at it this way. Is it really a good thing that we find such a thing remotely believable? I mean, the fact is, if he could and he could get away with it, I don’t think he would hesitate for a moment. Indeed, in fear he might take up the idea, he could put 5000 at a time on cruise ships. I am sure there are cruise lines ready and willing to provide the ships, maybe 3 or 4. Moreover, I am sure the illegal aliens would much rather travel in the luxury of a cruise ship instead of hiking through the jungles and swimming the rivers.

Besides, it would likely be about a quarter the cost of paying the cartels. Just how many ships could they run before his term is over?

The Pretender

An old NBC TV show. Also, a definition of Old Joe. He keeps trying to say he’s saving democracy while all the time doing what he can to destroy it.

He keeps saying he is trying to save the Constitution while all disobeying it.

He says he needs more laws to control the border while he was the one who put it in disarray, even to the point of illegally using taxpayer money [unconditionally] to spread the illegally throughout the country, especially the red states.

He pretends he wants progress while all the time causing destruction.

Old Joe pretends to be a Democrat while all the time he while all the time he’s more of a communist than any of the leaders of the USSR.

Worst of all, he has made decision after decision that cost countless lives worldwide. He simply has no answer for that.

Boeing & ESG

Boeing participates in Old Joe’s Environmental, Social, and Governmental ideas. It is not a required program, but those companies that refuse to take part, Joe makes it goes rough on them.

I looked up Boeing’s program. It wasn’t difficult. It took me less than 5 minutes. They seem proud of it.

For those who have not had it explained to them, it means putting environment, social justice and government at high or maybe highest priority. This means, over safety, over making money, over religion (right & wrong) as well as all other things.

For decades, Boeing has had a very strong reputation, top to bottom, bottom to top. I say it this way because it seemed as important for those building the planes as those in the management.

Now it would seem that the feds have gotten into the management, things are getting sloppy. I dare say, it seems true throughout aviation.

We have parts falling off planes. When they checked about the panel falling off, they found other planes with problems from the factory. Then, they fond other problems too.

That problem with the door panels was a real disaster waiting to happen. As it was, it provoked real fear into those on that plane. I’m sure it caused real financial problems with the Airlines too.

It makes me wonder, why the sudden increase in errors. Who, if anyone was punished. Were there any shake-ups in management. I’ll never know.

Worst, we will never know what role ESG played in it. We will never know what role it played in the decisions after the fact. Are there any corrections not made for the sake social justice? Will any lives be lost in the name of the environment? Finally, what role did the government have to say in the matter?

It has led me to wonder if we will ever learn what all this monster from Maryland has brought to us.

I hear stories of people suing, though I am not sure who they will be suing. Normally, I would not be in favor of such suits. It drives the cost of air travel up.

In this case, let them go at it. A real message needs to be sent, safety is far more important than ESG. Actually most everything is more important than ESG. That person in that seat nearest that panel that fell off will likely 2nd my motion.

SCOTUS Overturns Colorado SC

So far, the reaction from the libs is one of horror. It seems they don’t like it that it will all have to be settled by the voters.

I sorta thought that was the idea. I like it. It is called democracy. I should think the dems would like that… that is, unless democracy is not really the goal of the dems.

Can you possibly imagine a Democrat who doesn’t want democracy. Can you imagine a true pro American not in favor of settling things honestly at the ballot box.

The Tragedy of Relief

It is an old and true rule of thumb: If you want to find the leaders of a country under siege, just look for those who are well fed. If we could walk freely amongst those in the Gaza strip, we would find a few of them that visibly never missed a meal.

The reason is simple, as long as there is a morsel in Gaza, the HAMAS leaders will not go hungry. Not only will they have sustenance, but they will have the best; this while the children go hungry.

And so it is, when we send relief to Gaza, we prolong the war while those guilty of ordering war crimes are strengthened remain well fed.

When the leaders within Gaza begin missing meals, then they will cease to make war. Then and only then, will the war really end. Until then, there will only be cease fires, times to re-arm and resupply. Oh yes. also a time for recommitment speeches.

Scrap Metal

The local Memphis news here, as far as I know all 4 network stations, keep showing videos of men using equipment to tear apart guns of all types, shapes and sizes.

The explanation… they were making gardening tools from them. I guess it was an effort of a take-off on the Biblical beating swords in plows. I know not.

However, all the news stations seemed to have the same implication, “See, we are destroying the guns. Now all the murders will stop.”

I don’t think it will work that way. I suspect that it won’t slow them down. Moreover, I don’t think it will have the slightest effect on shootings either.

Then again, it’s not the success that counts to the liberal. But it is rather the thought that counts. They do mean well.

Nikki Won One

Really. She did. She’s very proud of it too. Not only that, the news media is really beating the drums.

However, let’s take a closer look. It was the District, the swamp. That place rots the brain inside a decade. It is perhaps, the primary reason for term limits. We need to get our representation out of there before that part between their ears start malfunctioning.

Moreover, only 3000 so-called Republicans voted. My best guess, less than half were Republicans. I have a hard time buying the concept that there are 3000 Republicans in DC who are eligible to vote.

Nonetheless, all the network news shows brought out the cheerleeding crowd and tried to make it look really, really good, which made it look really bad for those of us who know better than to bite on such things.

As an aside, a staff of Old Joe’s lied again about guns being the major cause of deaths in the US. How can they hope to get away with such things when it is so easy to prove that drugs are by far thebiggest cause, twice guns. More if you count those cased indirectly from gang wars and efforts by the those who just must buy more of the poison for one more big high.

He also said that no one but the but the killer of that woman can be held accountable for the killing. I guess that means no one can hold gun manufacturers guilty for murders. We certainly can’t hold the NRA responsible. Actually, it is something the NRA has trying to say for a long time. Even though so many so frequently try to blame all but the killers.

Learning the Obvious & the Strange

I have a bad memory. Sometimes I learn things and I haven’t a clue where I learn them. Nonetheless, I now know that the primary purpose of a holster is to guard the trigger.

Now how about that. All these years, I thought it was to hold the gun. It does help to explain something I learned a while ago. While a gun, short or long, is being carried in an auto, it must be holstered. Now I understand the reason for the law.

It makes sense. I should have onown beforehand. It is obvious. I write this in the possibility it just might help others. I mean, just because something is obvious, doesn’t mean we all know and understand it.

Then, while researching the holster thing, I found something that floored me. That means, it confused me. It seems that in most, if not all states, it is against the law to install compartments in autos to hide guns in.

Let me explain. In this area, there’s a problem with guns being stolen from autos. You might say it’s an epidemic. Virtually, every day, they say something on the news about it.

So, silly me, I start thinking about building a place in my car to hide my gun. You know, so I can safely leave my weapon in my car while I go into a place where it is unwise to bring it.

You have no idea how much thought I put into it. I even considered putting some money into it. Now, I’m thinking that’s strange. They want me to make sure my weapon is secure in my car before I enter, let’s say, a bank, but they will not let me put it in a constructed concealed compartment.

It doesn’t stop there. This also applies to RVs, boats, yachts and I would guess horse drawn carriages.

To some degree, I understand. It is a bad thing to let criminals hide things, including drugs, in vehicles and haul them anywhere and everywhere. The hitch is, they do that anyway. Frequently, they are caught and they still do it. I suspect it doesn’t slow them down.

At any rate. Maybe I have saved others the embarrassment of others finding out about the law the hard way.

Now. Just how do I keep the bad guys from stealing my weapon whilst I am in a restaurant. Guess I will need to resort to the drive throughs.

Don’t Need Reminders

Seems every time I turn around, someone or something reminds about the fact that I will soon be ancient. I mean, when I was in my early teens that is how looked at people past 80.

One of the few TV shows I like is NCIS, eve the reruns. I was reminded it has been on for, would you believe, 18 years. Before that, there was JAG. Some reading this might not even remember JAG, the precursor show of NCIS.

It seems that all the regulars of NCIS have left the show. New characters have been rotated in and out on a semi regular basis. Ducky was the last to leave, obviously involuntarily. This, it itself reminds me that the first saw him as Illya Kuryakin in Man From Uncle (1964) can you believe a half a century ago.

Now NCIS will continue with all different actors. It does sort-of reminds us, how things keep changing, yet they remain the same. Just like the characters in the shows. The new ones step onto the set while others leave, for one reason or the other.

Sometimes, it seems unreal to me. Things happen and in my mind, I say, but this can’t be. Over time, I have learned, this is when it is most real. These seem to be the events that outlast time.
