Dems are dead-set against requiring ultrasounds before an abortion. Why? Just what will it hurt?
Comparisons
Every time I look up, the dems are comparing another conservative to Hitler. I find two problems with that. First, Hitler was a socialist, nowhere near a capitalist. He was one of those who believed everything should be run by the government, though the truth be known, he just wanted the power. His idealism served only the purpose of gaining power. On the other hand, president trump believed in decentralization of power. Gaining power was neither his goal nor his desire. He was actually more powerful before his presidency.
Secondly, no one ever compares anyone to Stalin, a far worse man. I mean, if you really want to make a person sound bad, why not say he is like Stalin instead of Hitler. The only reason I can think of is that Stalin is one of the heroes of the communist movement. I mean, you will never find a true dem disparaging Stalin or Lenin, now will you? Have you ever heard anyone saying that so and so is just as bad as Stalin? Do you ever hear a dem say that he or she is as bad as Lenin? Of course not. That would be disparaging one of their idols.
Which brings the question to mind. What if I started using the phrase that so and so is no better than Lenin. I wonder just how long it would take for someone to jump on my case, one of the dems. No doubt that he will say I’m like Hitler. And by the way, I am not a socialist, as Hitler was.
A Word About Social Media
It is why I will never get on Ticktock or Facebook or anything similar. Perhaps I could be more well known if I did, but those folks have a serious problem. They publish lies without hesitation. The truth they disallow, while calling it a lie. That which aids and abets our enemy is welcome while that which encourages patriotism is verboten. They have permitted the rewriting of history, especially American history.
Well, let’s see what I mean. What about the virus. Much of what they would not permit from good ethical doctors could not be published. That damaging, which the dems wanted, was published and encouraged. Perhaps millions died because of that. It kept at least three effective meds from being used while allowing meds that had no effect. It caused two-year-olds to have to wear masks when they knew they had no effect. It obliterated the restaurant industry, especially in NY, NY and It just almost brought the American economy to an absolute halt. And then, as if that was not enough, they caused the US to go into a debt that we might never crawl out of, at least for another 100 years. Finally, they helped the dems outright steal an election right in front of our eyes. (Don’t tell me different. I saw what I saw. Others did too, but it is inconvenient for them to remember.)
People ask me why I won’t get on a social media. Now, you know why. I would appreciate it very much if you would let others know.
Incidentally, has anyone noticed the big increase in crime these last few years, especially shootings? Most of us don’t like it. The dems love it. It gives them a reason… well it just gives them reasons. That’s what they want.
Serious About Sirius
I guess just about every new car is equipped with Sirius these days and they come with a three month trial. Not only that, I have received a number of e-mails and now snail mail trying to get me to extend the trial. I really wished they would provide me with a simple check box, No thank you! Don’t need; don’t want; have no desire to have your services. Turned it down before. I will turn it down every time it is offered.
The hitch is that all communication is one way, unless I accept. They allow a yes but never a way of saying no. There is no way to reply to the e-mail and when I bought the car, there was no option to turn it down.
First, they have nothing to offer me. They have at least three jazz channels. They have but one easy listening channel, which is about one forth jazz. As far as I was concerned, none of the rest of the music was worth a hoot either. Did I mention I don’t like but about 5 pieces of jazz ever written. Not at all fond of it. Hence the question, if I don’t like it, why should I pay for it? For what reason would I listen to it?
Second, I wouldn’t take it if it were free. I have a selection of the music I like and I listen to that. I do not need or want anyone selecting my music for me. Moreover, I really get upset with organizations that establish one way communications. I’ve already had enough of that. I have signed up for a few things and then I can’t talk to anyone about it. The only way I can stop the service is to stop payment through the bank. In at least one case, I changed banks. They did, eventually stop bothering me, though I never got to send one message to them.
There is a person I used to listen to on the radio who had the perfect expression for such… “Customer NO Service. when I have a small problem easily resolved, and I try to speak to someone, I can’t. When I can’t speak to anyone, I get angry and terminate my business with them.
Now let me see. Let me consider the reasons I need Sirius? None! And I am dead serious about that. No need to ask me again. I have already made up my mind. There is no chance I will ever, ever change my mind for any reason. The only thing I ask from them is stop sending me the trash mail, of all kinds. Now. If I could ever figure out a way to get that message to them.
I Wonder: Ignorance or Stupidity. Maybe Bias
This evening I heard a report over the local CBS station. The report was concerning an increase in shootings on the road, mostly interstates. Now, don’t get me wrong. Although it angers me when someone cuts in front of me, I never consider pulling out a gun and shooting at them. Moreover, I would never think of such a thing should someone use their horn on me. Frequently, I deserve it.
I just really don’t get the idea behind the woman’s statement, “….the shootings are increasing because of the easier availability of guns.”
Okay. I might not have gotten the quote perfect, but that is certainly the gist of it. I have news for the woman. Over the last hundred years or so, gun laws have been passed left and right, mostly by the left. If she actually went through the process of getting a permit to carry, or a gun, she would not have considered making such an inaccurate statement.
The fact is, about 20 or 25 years ago, if a person wanted a gun, he or she could just go buy one. Not so anymore. The process of legally carrying a weapon has become increasingly difficult since the day I was born in 1947.
To be sure, guns can be purchased illegally. However, you can pass laws all day long and you won’t stop that, try as you may. If people can’t buy them, they will build them. Same as in the bootlegging days. They couldn’t get the stuff legally so the made it. Today, there are people who can make guns in any well equipped machine shop. Perhaps there are people who do. I think they are called gunsmiths.
At any rate, the woman was flat wrong. It is no easier to get a weapon today than any time in the history of the country, though the left still likes spread the falsehood.
However, there is a real difference between yesteryear and now in morals. Back 40 years ago, people had real respect for life. They drove with more respect for the rules of the road and the other drivers. Finally, frankly, they drove more responsibly. If people wouldn’t drive so obnoxiously, horns would not be used so quickly. If people were just a little less anxious to blast their horn, there would be less shooting. However, most of all, LET’S LEARN TO HAVE MORE RESPECT ON THE ROAD, as well as off the road.
Generally, we don’t shoot someone we respect unless it is in self-defense. I just simply cannot imagine a gun being shot on the interstate in self-defense…more likely out of anger.
Oh, yes. By the way. If those criminals were in prison, instead of on the highways, the shootings would be in the decline. Only a criminals shoot at people without valid reason. Only people who are without conscience arbitrarily kill people. In this day and age, we have a bunch of folks running around without a conscience, it seems more every day. They kill without remorse. Our society has taught our citizens that life is just an accident. We are now reaping the effects of that concept.
Just thought of something else. How could I forget abuse of drugs. I wonder, just how many murders take place because of drugs? I don’t see any efforts by the dems to rid the would of them. On the contrary. The seem to encourage their shipments from China and across the border.
What is it, 70,000 killed by drugs last year. Far more than killed by guns. Far, far more than guns on highways.
A Weird Dream
Don’t have clue why I had the dream. However, part of it you just might find interesting, should you be a sci-fi enthusiast. It was, of all things, a FedEx advertisement. The one guy goes into a FedEx office and hands the guy behind the counter what looks like a toy tractor. The attendant puts the thing in a container, which like so many other things, gets delivered overnight to another office. The attendant at the other office delivers the container to a customer, who puts the tractor in a device and, in a few minutes, he has a full-sized tractor just like the one that came out of the factory and shrunk right off the assembly line.
Now I am not suggesting this will be possible, but wouldn’t it make shipping a lot faster. I don’t know about less expensive. Seems to me that the machines that would shrink and restore the tractor would be awfully expensive. However, it would sure be better than shrinking kids.
Not kidding, folks, I did write the post because of the real dream. Sometimes I have strange dreams. Now you suppose this might be the basis of a good book…or movie. Sounds like a good spy plot to me. Could be a good love story built in. Oh well. My wife says that sometimes I have just too much imagination.
Ain’t Such a Bad Idea
More than once I’ve heard it said that Trump is running for president to stay out of prison. If he don’t belong there, sound’s like it t’ain’t such a bad idea. It sounds pretty sound to me. If it works he can start putting some of the dems where they belong. He just might start by firing the better part of the Justice Department leadership. Also he can fix our borders and keep the drugs and cartels out. He can start driving the price of oil down, as it should be, which will stop the war in Ukraine instantly. If Putin has no money, he can’t fight his war. It might even encourage the Ruskies to find another leader.
Yeah. If that is President Trump’s strategy, I can live with that. Maybe a few more will live with it too. Not so much dying. Clearly, the dems don’t mind a few hundred thousand dying. It does not seem to have bothered Old Joe any at all. Haven’t heard him say two words about it. Haven’t heard the dems say anything about it. All they care about is stopping Trump, no matter what it takes.
What Happens When the Drive Through Becomes Illegal?
It will happen, you know. Do you have any idea How much fuel you use while waiting for that Big Mac or wait for that convenient bank transaction. Not only that, it does produce a lot of CO2, not to mention CO, which is far worse. The planet’s plants can use the carbon dioxide for food. Carbon monoxide is not good for plant or animal.
So, maybe I can challenge a few folks to write a post on what happens when those ultra green folks take away the drive through.
Normally, when I post something, I will suggest a plan, a solution, maybe a probable outcome. This time I simply have no idea. It will be the meeting of the lazy with those who don’t like CO2 belching machines, of any kind.
As near as I can see it, your post needs to address three aspects. What it will mean for those who will actually have to leave their luxury vehicles and traipse off into the cold of winter or the heat of summer to get that wonderful whopper, which they will be able to have their way.
The other thing to consider, is how will the restaurant deal with it. Many of them rely heavily on the drive through. Having to permanently close the window will not go well for them. It might actually eat into their profits unless they come up with something.
Finally, some places keep their drive throughs open all night. Take away the drive through and that will have to change. Just how, I’ll let you decide.
The fact is, I know only one thing about it all. One day it will happen. We really ought to start thinking about it. I’m open to your thoughts and considerations. Maybe a few of you like drive throughs and will have to face withdrawal pains; as well as trudging through the snow. Some of you run restaurants and banks. I’d really like to hear your ideas. I have none. Some of you might be brilliant and you just might come up with something to resolve the inevitable problem.
On the other hand, maybe some of you just have some comments on it all. Just, let’s try to keep them clean and reasonable. I mean, I have some things I’d like to say too, but I try very hard to avoid that kind of language.
Incidentally, have any of you been stuck in line behind someone at one in the morning insisting on ordering for 6 or 7 people, all paying separately?
Decisions, Decisions
I saw something on TV, or was it something I heard on the radio. At the time, I didn’t think a lot about it but the more I think about it the more I realize both the wisdom and importance. The man said that when his children reached 12, he insisted on explaining something to them.
Up to this point, decisions generally have little if any effect on later life. Kids make decisions every day that will quickly be forgotten. Once a person reaches 12, decisions start taking on a more permanent nature.
That was as far as he went. He said no more about it over the air. More and more, I realize the truth in what he said. I wish someone had told me about it, though I was somewhat getting the idea on my own. Even so, as a young man, I did things and said things I wish I hadn’t. I wish I had told my kids, though mostly they turned out good in spite of my shortcomings. There is one thing I would suggest different than the above though. Nowadays, parents need to have the talk with their kids when they are 10, and again at 14, and then at 18.
It is a different world we are in today. What we do and say can follow us even from the preteen years well into adulthood. This is true about what is done and what is perceived to have been done. This is even more true for those that may go into public life. However, it would seem that nowadays, applications for employment have become far more probing.
Just think, if you plan on being a Supreme Court justice someday, that little thing you did at eleven just might make it to the news and you could lose that appointment. If you want to become president, that little fling with that prostitute could cost you the election. To make matters worse, It can cost you the election even if the fling never took place.
The dems are not above making huge money offers to people to give false witness just to destroy their appointment. So a person, when he makes decisions much consider, not only what he does, but he must also be able to defend himself should someone suggest he did do something he didn’t.
It’s not just the dems that like the idea. Satan just loves it when a famous upstanding preacher is accused of something horrible, especially when he’s not guilty. Indeed, he is quick to originate the thought of such false witness. Moreover, he is especially happy should a good pastor stumble. For them, all it takes is once.
And so it is, as we go through life, we must be very careful. When we make decisions, we need not only need to think about whether it good or bad, but also if it might look bad. In essence, we must go through life realizing that at any time, we might be attacked by Satan, himself, of any one of his thousands of willing minions who call themselves democrats, or in some cases, the church gossips.
As a point of fact, after years of the attacks waged on trump, before, during and after he held office, no one proved he did one thing wrong. However, they did manage to disparage him, based on his former life style. I guarantee, none of this would have come about had Trump went along to get along with the dems. It is how the dems maintain control, the threat of attack can have a big affect. In fact, Trump likely would still be in office, no charges of any type would have been made if he only made the bad decisions.
One more thing about decisions. If you do make the right ones, be ready to face those ready to attack you. Be ready to face the accusations. They will most certainly follow. The dems don’t like it when someone gets in the way of their plans. That’s also true of Satan.
How Many Quarts in a Gallon?
Most folks will say four. For most of my life, that is what I’d say. However, we are in a new world. In this world, the women might be men and the men might be women. This is especially true for some men. That is to say, some men are women so they can compete with weaker women. Then too, there are the men who are conveniently women so they can shower with the women in the ladies locker room. And by the way, you better not say it’s a lye of convenience. You will have your hand slapped by the political correct police. On the other hand, you could be punished far worse. Indeed, some have been.
So, I figure that some just might start tinkering with our system of weights and measures. Wait a minute. They already are. They want us to buy gas by the liter and food by the kilogram. In a while, we will have speed limits by the kilometer and who knows what the measure will be for a cup of coffee.
They will do it under the name of making everything easier. Already, I find it more complex. I have to keep two sets tools. My car engines were measured by cubic inch and horsepower. Now they are measured by liter and dins. Sorry folks. I still can’t get my mind wrapped around that centigrade thing. The only thing I know for sure is that if it is 0 degrees centigrade, it’s cold. If one hundred, it’s hot.
In the past, I watched weather reports in Japan. Didn’t get much from it other than if it was going to rain or snow. All their temps were in centigrade. Every time they said a temp, I had to try to convert it in my head.
Now let me see. Every degree centigrade is 9/5 s of a degree Fahrenheit. Now, convert 21 to Fahrenheit in your head in less than 30 seconds. Fact is, until the conversion is done, it doesn’t mean much to me. And, by the way, Fahrenheit is almost twice as accurate as centigrade. Did anyone ever tell you that.
So. I figure it is only a matter of time they will start messing with the English measurements. I guess they will start telling us that a gallon is really three quarts or will it be liters? Of course they will. Those selling gasoline or milk will likely get behind it.
Don’t doubt them. They will do it. They did sell the idea that a man was really a woman. Which is easier? Which is more believable? It is a new world you know. Down is up and up is down. Good is evil and evil is good. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll not dispute it.
