Son of a Joe

Posted in Biden, Crazy Nuts, FOC, January 6, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation by

Isn’t it nice to have a father named Joe? When we have a father named Joe, who just happens to be the Occupier of the Oval Office, we can do just about anything we want. When we don’t want to pay income tax, no problem. We just don’t report them. Sometimes, we have to admit it, but we never need to spend a day in jail.

Any time we want, we can lie on federal documents. No problemo. We just admit to it. Someone slaps our hand and says don’t do that no more and, behold; the problemo disappears into the outer limits.

And by the way, we can take all the drugs, legal or not and no one will ever arrest me. No one will mention it in the media… well not much anyway. Makes no difference anyway. No one will complain about it.

The really neat thing about it, should I do something else wrong, all I have to do is to mention that I have this really bad drug problem. Now that’s what I call using my problems to solve problems.

Now for all you all; the rest of you. You’ll never have it so easy. Especially, if you have a big R after your name. Especially if your father’s name is Trump. Especially if you worked for or have a friend named Trump. For those…. You all just have to get used to putting up with (here goes, the intended pun) TRUMPED UP charges for anything and everything.

Take Adam Schiff, Please

Posted in Adam Schiff, Christian values, Collusion, Controllers, Deceit, Lawyers and Representation by

For months, years even, Schiff claimed he had evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia. He claimed to have videos of Trump performing unmentionable acts with prostitutes. He claimed that Trump lied and misled the people of the US repeatedly. I know. I saw him while he spoke on TV live.

Now, until recently, he is silent. He has shown us no videos. He has shown us no documents. He has no evidence of any witnesses. That tells me he either has no evidence or has told one big lie after the other. Considering it all, I suspect he has not an ounce of evidence, not one single paper, not even one single video. That tells me that he likely sets the congressional record for congressional whoppers.

Then, when he is censured, he reverts back to saying that Trump and republicans lied. Strange. I didn’t hear him say he had any proof.

Don’t think Schiff is going to get away with it. He will either pay for the lies in this life or the next. Better for him if God extracts the punishment while his heart still beats. Paying for it after will likely make him wish he hadn’t made the acquisitions. Forever is a long time to pay for a Whopper lie like his.

Will someone please take this man away. Even the dems should confront his lying. I would think that he is even starting to embarrass the dems. I mean, even they must realize that he has become an anchor weight to even the dems.

Policeman or Baby

Posted in Being woke, Crime, law enforcement by

Whenever I suggest to anyone that punishment should be greater for someone killing a policeman, I always get the question, why is a policeman’s life worth more than… say a six-month-old baby?

First, the question is a red heiring. The person asking it generally does not mean to challenge my idea based on logic but emotion. They don’t like the law. In some cases, they place little import on those that are recently born. They simply don’t like the idea of a law that protects police.

It does go far beyond that though. Someone shooting a policeman does not respect the law. The shooting of the officer proves it. They use an element of society that just loves to rebel against the law and the uniform represents the law. Let’s keep in mind, those officers really represent us. When they pour liquids on an officer, that is a visual display of their lack of respect of the law and us. It is open visual rebellion. And, when they shoot a policeman, that is the ultimate disrespect against us, the law and those who enforce it.

There is another aspect that many don’t think of. That baby is not intentionally putting his life in danger to protect society. Okay. I get it. The baby is incapable of such a thing and is considered the essence of innocents. However, that officer has taken an oath to protect people, especially such as the baby. Without the police, how would we be able to hold on to our property or our lives… or the lives of our children?

The especially good part about such a law is that it would act as an invisible shield. It is a good thing that the criminal think twice before shooting a policeman. It just might stop people from indiscriminately executing them. More important, with that invisible shield, he can do his job better, knowing that the criminal will be less likely to use his gun on a man wearing a badge. And, by the way, if the criminal is less likely to shoot, then the officer is less likely to have to shoot. So, it sort of helps the criminal too.

Two Lives

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Crazy Nuts, Drug Abuse by

Two young men. Maybe two young women. One has been killed by a bullet; the other by a drug sold by a drug dealer. Which one is more dead? Which death causes more grief. Which brother or sister will be missed the more.

Many call selling drugs a non-violent crime. I ask, what’s the difference between the bullet and the pill?

I get it. Guns are terrifying. While I was not one that ran through the rice paddies of S. Vietnam, I did carry an M16 with me everywhere I went for nearly a year. I did have to wear a flak jacket and helmet. I carried four magazines with twenty rounds each ready to use. I was aware that a bullet could have come out of the dark and end my life at just almost any time with no warning whatsoever. I did know some who took bullets while serving.

However, drugs, today cause far more death and sorrow daily in this country than all the guns. Truth be known, much of the death caused by guns is also caused by drug abuse. Those dealers must protect their territories.

Yet, Old Joe just never talks about drug abuse or the folks who sell the poison. Maybe it would be because he’d have to admit failure on the border, which by the way, is intentional. However, let just one person kill or harm another by gun, and immediately, he is in front of a camera and mic explaining how we must rid our country of those evil guns. Not a word about incarcerating those who use them.

An Experiment for the Brave Atheist

Posted in Christian values by

As I was sitting at Golden Corral this afternoon, getting ready to eat, a thought occurred to me. Maybe I just thought of it. Perhaps the thought was supernaturally planted in my mind. I don’t know. The thought was an experiment for atheist. I say atheist because, well, it just might work. I don’t know.

I say for the brave atheist because it just might work. The atheist just might come to the realization that God really does exist. Then, he will be forced into a decision he, or she would really prefer to ignore. It will take something of a little courage to take on my experiment.

However, if the atheist is right in his belief, then he has lost nothing. If he is firm in his belief and he is right, he can go on living as he has. On the other hand, if something happens that makes him doubt his religion in that there is no God; If, suddenly, he realizes that he has been wrong; then he must change his beliefs. He can still deny God, but he will have to accept that God really does exist. He will never again be an atheist.

The experiment is simple and takes just a few minutes a day. For one month, whenever you sit down to a meal, let’s say three times a day, you say this little prayer before eating, “Thank you, God for this food that you have provided. Please bless it to the nourishment of my body. Forgive me of my sins. In Jesus name; amen.”

I know it is ritualistic and God would rather the prayer be from your heart. However, it is something of a start. If you feel led to add to it, that’s fine with me. Just, please be respectful in any case.

Your comments are welcomed and encouraged. Perhaps some of my readers would like to see them too. As long as the comments are respectful and without profanity, I will allow them.

Oh. Just one more thing. Maybe you atheists are not the only ones who need to try this experiment. Maybe a few Christians need to try it, too. God does like it when we honestly express our appreciation for that which he has done for us. To be sure, I am guilty. For years, I took Him and what He did for me for granted. I’m doing a little better these days. Still, an hour or two after I had a nice big meal, I occasionally realize I did not voice my appreciation. I guess He knows I’m human. Still, if it’s important, I’ll remember it… and it is important to me.

A Little-Known Fact

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Christian values by

The phone company notified me that they will be giving money to the LGBTQ+ youth bunch. Moreover, they are encouraging me to do the same. Obviously, they don’t know me.

I am under contract restrictions so I will stay with the same company for a while, then no more. They didn’t see fit to ask me. They simply did it. I would suspect it is part of the new encouragement by Old Joe to get corporations to be friendly to social, environmental, and governmental ideas instead of just making money. I am sure the phone company is thinking they will come out ahead because of the better way they will be treated by Old Joe’s administration. However, their thinking is very short sighted and likely pretty dumb. You see; I suspect I am not the only one who does not believe in giving money to such things. I suspect that I will not be the only one jumping to another provider.

You see, they might be making Joe happy, but some of us don’t like things such as what the dems are pushing these days and calling sex ed. Moreover, Joe will not be around much longer. Even should he be re-elected, the man is getting old. As the Bible says, it is appointed to man once to die. (Hebrews 9:27) I certainly suspect his time is right around the corner. As it is said, he is living on borrowed time. And may I remind those from the phone outfit, they need to think of their mortality too. The same Bible passage also says that after that, the judgment.

Well, I’m sure the phone company will never miss those of us who leave because they decided to mix politics with business. Seems to me, the one guy said best. Republicans do buy tennis shoes too. I suppose that some phone company officials think republicans don’t use cell phones.

There Is a Difference

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden by

If I may….

There is a difference between Former President Trump and Joe Biden

Since before his election, the House, the media, the Clintons, and the Justice Department have been trying to hang some crime on Trump, some of which are not even crimes.  Collusion is not a crime.  For well over seven years, they have all given it their best shot.  While they have gotten indictments and two impeachments, they have not one conviction, not even in the media.  Moreover, it has been determined that many of the accusations were groundless, even illegal.  Technically, they should have never seen the light of day. Technically, those who brought them should serve time for their crimes.

On the other hand, Hunter Biden now stands guilty of three crimes.  He admitted to them after about two, maybe two and half years of investigation.  The media, the Justice Department and Congress have done all they can to keep it from happening.  It is an indicator.  First, the man is guilty.  Second, he is likely far more guilty of far more than he is admitting to.  After all, deals are usually made by the defense to avoid greater punishment.  Third, I wonder just how much power does the man have over his father.  After all, he does know where the bodies are buried.  He could be saying, “If I go to prison, so will you.”

Forth, and likely the worst of it all.  Just, how much was Joe personally involved in protecting his son?  What has he done to keep his son’s name out of the media, out of courts and him out of prison?

Finally, just how much collusion was he involved with in with Hunter’s dirty dealings.

As a simple aside, where did he gain his fortune on a senator’s pay?

Trump acquired his fortune in private life.  Biden acquired his as a public servant.  You figure it out.  There is a difference.

Incidentally, they never acquired any real proof of Trump colluding with anyone, though there was one particular congressman that claimed he did have some. Do you suppose the congressman lied, maybe a little. Maybe a lot. Maybe frequently. I am sure he would have presented the proof if he had it. Yet, after the investigation was done, he remains silent. He has presented not one element of proof. How quickly some forget.

As an afterthought, many states have gotten wise with driving under the influence laws. People no longer get breaks because they were driving drunk. They pay the same penalties as if they were driving sober as well as penalties for DUI. Hunter Biden claims he was under the influence. Should not make any difference in court. He chose to take the drugs and he chose to commit the crimes. He should not get any breaks. It is ridiculous to get a break for doing something illegal because he was doing something illegal, like drug abuse. With his plea, he is not even getting punished for his drug abuse, though he admitted to it.

Considering a Risky Decision

Posted in AARP, Abuse of Power, Auto Quality Control, Being woke, Biden, Cancel Culture, Climate Change, Crazy Nuts, Going Green, Lawyers and Representation, News Anchors, Safety by

Got my car insurance bill a few days ago. I looked at it and filed the mental note to pay it before it elapses. Then, i considered it again.

Generally, I drive one place each day, maybe two. Don’t really need to but I do. Then, I considered; do I really need a car. I mean we really pay an awfully lot for the convenience of wheels.

The other day, drove into Firestone, spent the whole day there and drove out over a grand lighter. Mind, I’m not complaining about Firestone. They did very well for a reasonable price. The thing is that I need at least 1500 more to fix axles, air conditioning and who knows how many more problems lurking out of sight.

It’s just getting awfully expensive to keep up a car when I now drive about 10, maybe 15 miles a day.

Oh yes. Let’s not forget the price of fuel. Thanks to Joe, we all feel a bit lighter as we drive away from the gas pumps. Let me clarify that. Financially lighter. I must admit the fuel is heavier, but not much.

Indeed, maybe, I should take the hint from OLD Joe and start bicycling everywhere I go. I figure I might save 2 or 3 thousand a year. Considering we are living totally on Social Security, that is a lot. Fact is – that’s a bunch for most all of us. To be sure, it’s even more for those who have far more than me. After all, they must buy their Lincolns, Cadillacs, and or, their BMWs. They pay more for their vehicles, more for their insurance and, likely more for their maintenance.

Going to a bicycle as my transport is not a decision taken lightly. I mean, bicycles are more dangerous. We don’t normally wear helmets in cars, not yet anyway. However, we and our children are firmly cautioned against going to the local convenience store without something to protect our noggin.

Therefore, I must assume that it would be quite dangerous to abandon my 4 wheels for 2.

So. Before I decide, I’m sure you realize, I have very much to consider. Money is not everything. Safety is a factor as well. Someone in one of those big cars just might hit me. I’m afraid the helmet would provide little protection.

Faith?

Posted in Christian values by

The story I am about to write is true. It has been told untold numbers of times. It is one of my favorites.

It seems there was a man, Peter who was locked up in prison. He was chained to two guards to make sure he’d not escape. In the church where Peter preached were many who prayed for Peter, that he might be rescued.

At night, an angel visited Peter. The guards were sleeping, and the angel told Peter to follow him. Then, immediately, the chains fell open and walking, Peter followed the angel.

Then, once Peter was free, he went to the house of one of the church members, whose name was Mary. He knocked on the door of the gate and a woman, Rhoda answered it. When she recognized Peter’s voice, instead of letting him in, went to announce the arrival of Peter.

They told Rhoda, “Your are beside yourself.” For those unaware, that is sort like saying she was mistaking. It’s sort of like saying your nuts. In other words, they didn’t believe her,

But Rhoda insisted. Those in the house said, “It is Peter’s angel,” assuming him to be dead.

Peter, of course, was somewhat wondering that no one opened the door. So he continued to knock.

Now here is the really neat part, the part I really like. When they opened the door and saw Peter standing there, they were astonished.

Now, to be honest, I did skip a few parts. To read the whole story as it was written, read Act 12 :1 to 16 or perhaps as much as 18.

I guess I have read the story a few dozen times and I still wonder, after all the praying, why were they astonished? Why did they not expect Peter to show up. Maybe they should have even had some kind of a welcome home party ready.

They prayed to God, expecting an answer. They got their answer and yet, according to the Bible, they were astonished.

I guess we can’t really hold the new Christians too much at fault. After all, it was just a short time earlier when they became Christians. Moreover, God, when he decides to, can amaze even the most devout follower.

Moreover, I guess it is kind of an object lesson. When we pray earnestly, maybe we should expect an answer, regardless of how unlikely. And, by the way, regardless of the power of the king (government) they really can’t keep us chained up should God decide to let us go.

Shelby County Schools

Posted in Education, Important things by

Understand Shelby County schools is looking for a superintendent. Been looking for one for about a year now. One thing is certain, the new one won’t be very good. It’s kind of the history of it all. They haven’t had a good super for the last 30 years that I have lived here.

Used to be the Memphis City schools. The city realized they couldn’t run a school system, so they dissolved city schools, which resulted in the same folks how ran the city schools are now running the county schools. Naturally, they run the county schools just as badly as the ran the city schools.

It’s no wonder that most cities in Shelby County that could, formed their own school systems. By the way, the little cities seem to be doing very well while the county is FAILING miserably. It seems that they can’t even teach their students to read and write.

It’s not just my opinion. It’s history. It is borne out in test score after test score. It is also borne out in in the exodus of people from Shelby County schools. They seem to be confirming my opinion with their feet; or in this case, I guess their citizenship. Many come here south of the state line. Many have moved north, which invariably means a longer commute to work. Some go to Arkansas, which means crossing one of two bridges each morning on the way to work. It is, perhaps a reason we need a third bridge. I’d guess not so many move east of the county. I suspect it is better to move to one of the cities in eastern Shelby County.

Sure hope I’m wrong this time. Somehow, I just don’t think it will happen. They’ve been practicing the wrong methods so long they just don’t know any other way.

Incidentally, I do have an idea or two, but I don’t think they want to pay any attention to me. Certainly, right at the top, put the priority in requiring teachers to teach… the important things. They really don’t need to get involved in all the garbage being passed down from DC. Also, if their students are don’t learn, fire them. Obviously, they aren’t doing their job. Why should they be paid for doing nothing?
