Democrat/communist: same thing. Synonymous. Identical. Equivalent. Virtually interchangeable. Tantamount. Analogous. In other words, no one can any longer see any difference.
Time to list them as synonyms.
Three Suggestions
- Go back to senators beings selected by the state assemblies. Add enforcement for corruptions in their selection.
- Term limits… Everywhere. That includes dog catcher. If all terms were limited, it would prevent the building of power.
- Ten year resident requirements. The elected person would be required to live in the district the are going to represent, federal, state and local. This would have prevented Mrs. Clinton from running for NY Senator. Fact: she didn’t represent NY. She represented the Democrat party & in the end, herself own power interest. From the moment she started her run for senate, she also began her run for president and everyone knows it.
Not going to happen. My guess, there is no need me saying why.
Approval Ratings
According to The Hill, President Trump’s approval ratings are suffering as a result of the tariffs. Perhaps The Hill would prefer the days of nine percent inflation.
Thought About Moving to Paris
Sounds simple, but it’s confusing. There is a Paris in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. They sound reasonable, but I would not stand the chill in Michigan, Maine, or Wisconsin. There is a Paris in New York. I’m sure the folks there are friendly, but the state government there simply bears too much resemblance to the former USSR. The one in Virginia is simply too close to DC.
I was actually in Parris, CA. one time. Oddly, to me, it was just too much of a desert climate. Paris, Pennsylvania might be nice. I’ve traveled the countryside of middle Pennsylvania and I found it beautiful and picturesque. I just don’t know if I could afford to live there. I mean, I could live out of a travel trailer but where could I park it. I wonder what Idaho would be like, cold I guess.
There are a few I left out. I mean, why even consider Oregon, which is on the left coast.
I suppose I will just stay where I am, though I’d rather be ten or fifteen miles farther south of Memphians. It used to be just fine here. The problem is, they are moving south and they are bringing there politics and their driving habits with them.
It makes me wonder how they drive in Paris Kentucky.
Am I Good at Judging Character
I would like to think so. However, truth be told, I do have a tendency to the best of people I just meet. Mostly, I am not too disappointed. However, when I am, my opinion will change quickly, soundly and rarely ever will change back. This is especially true when I realize someone has taken advantage of my trust.
EV Update
As an electric vehicle enthusiast, I’ve been sharing my journey with my Nissan EV since its purchase two years ago, offering insights and real-world experiences to help potential buyers make informed decisions about sustainable transportation.
For electric vehicle enthusiasts considering a purchase, my experience offers valuable insights. The car delivers impressive performance, though its practicality depends on individual driving habits. As a retiree with limited daily mileage, I find the 200-mile range sufficient for local trips. However, potential buyers should carefully evaluate their driving needs. Extended daily commutes or frequent long-distance travel might challenge the vehicle’s battery capacity, especially when climate control systems are in use. Extreme temperatures can notably impact range, so it’s crucial to factor in heating and cooling requirements when assessing the car’s suitability for your lifestyle.
Electric vehicle efficiency varies significantly with temperature. In mild conditions, my car achieves an impressive five miles per kilowatt-hour. However, during a recent cold snap of twenty degrees, the range dropped to just 1.5 miles per kilowatt-hour. Short trips compound this challenge, as the cabin heating system consumes energy before reaching the destination. Personal comfort settings play a crucial role in energy consumption. While I maintain a cozy 75-degree interior, those who can tolerate lower temperatures around 68 degrees will experience improved overall efficiency.
Unexpectedly encountering a nail in my tire revealed a critical flaw in my vehicle’s emergency preparedness. The absence of a spare tire, even a compact temporary one, coupled with the lack of a jack, left me stranded and vulnerable. This realization has prompted me to proactively address these shortcomings before another roadside mishap occurs, ensuring I’m better equipped to handle potential tire emergencies.
The vehicle comes standard with an air pump and liquid sealant, featuring a surprisingly efficient compressor that can rapidly inflate a tire from 37 to 42 psi in just 2-3 minutes. However, a notable drawback is the requirement to have the car running to power the cigarette lighter outlet. During a recent cold spell, I needed to adjust the pressure in all four tires, which unexpectedly drained a significant amount of battery power. The process seemed unnecessarily energy-intensive, potentially consuming double the electricity required. As a result, I plan to purchase a standalone electric pump that can be plugged directly into a wall outlet for more convenient and efficient tire maintenance.
A compromised bead seal renders sealant application futile and prevents the small pump from effectively addressing the problem. I’m seeking recommendations on acquiring a compact spare.
The big joke
I just now heard a big joke, and I use the term “joke” with sarcasm. I heard an ad on TV for AARP, where the man said it was non-partisan. That is the joke, and it’s not funny. They cost my wife and me thirty thousand dollars by backing Obamacare.
That is neither non-partisan nor funny!
Moreover, they have been toeing the line for the Democratic Party since they started. It only makes sense. Are they going to represent a few folks paying a few dollars in dues or the corporations continuing to contribute millions?
That means it’s not so much a joke as a travesty.
How have my political ideas changed over the time?
They’ve become stronger and clearer. I mean, when the Democrats decide to open the borders to a invasion with weapons, When the Democrats decide to put men in women’s locker rooms, when Democrats decide to put law biding citizens in prison and criminals on the street, how can any logical person do otherwise?
Incidentally, the write assist they provide me did not like the above paragraph. It refused to proof read it. Obviously the artificial intelligence behind it, has a bias, and ain’t so intelligent.
Speaking Badly of the Dead?
If I heard it once, I have heard it a thousand times, we should not speak badly of the dead. Recently, I have been thinking this over. Maybe that isn’t so much a cut and dry rule. I mean must we never speak badly of Hitler?
The left loves to compare anyone they disagree with as a Hitler. The dems love to speak badly of Washington and Jefferson. If so, why can’t I speak badly of Jackson, a true racist who indirectly but intentionally killed unknown hundreds of American Indians by ordering them from their homes and onto the Trail of Tears.
I guess Stalin is off limits, though he killed millions, just to solidify his power base. What about Manson, who killed Sharon Tate. You know very well that I can build a list of monsters, living and dead who have caused the death of millions. Then, I guess, once a person steps out into infinity, they are hands off, unless they were patriotic Republicans.
While we must be cautious about posthumous criticism, we cannot allow historical atrocities to be forgotten or absolved simply because their perpetrators have died. Accountability and remembrance serve as crucial tools for understanding human nature and preventing future injustices.
Biblical narratives often candidly expose the moral failings of even its most revered figures, revealing the humanity and imperfections of its central characters through unflinching accounts of their transgressions.
Three Wise Men? Maybe.
It never fails to amaze me how people insist on there being three wise men who visited Jesus on the night of his birth. It shows how tradition can be so misleading.
The biblical narrative of Jesus’s birth reveals nuanced details often misunderstood in popular depictions. Scripture clearly indicates that shepherds were the first to visit the newborn Jesus on the night of his birth, while the wise men arrived later at a house, not the stable. Though traditional nativity scenes frequently portray three wise men, the Gospel of Matthew does not specify their exact number. The actual count could have been two, three, or potentially even twenty travelers who journeyed to pay homage to the child.
Biblical scholars and nativity scene artists often depict an inaccurate representation of the wise men’s visit to Jesus. According to scriptural accounts, the magi did not arrive at the stable where Jesus was born, but rather visited him later in a house, when he was likely a young child. Please read it yourself. Don’t take my word for it.
If we go by the Scripture, which we should, the wise men might have visited as much as two years after Jesus’ birth and likely at least a month later. It may have taken a month or more to move from the manger to a house. Moreover, Matthew calls Jesus a child, not a baby.
Many scholars suggest the visit occurred when Jesus was around one to two years old, based on King Herod’s decree to kill male children under two. While the exact age remains uncertain, it seems most likely that Jesus was slightly older than a toddler. Matthew’s gospel implies he was no longer an infant, as the term “baby” was not used to describe him at this point.
Periodically, I find myself compelled to address this topic, recognizing that not everyone is fully informed. Though some may question its significance, I believe the matter is crucial. Subtle misquotations can be particularly misleading, as even a slight distortion of context or a few misplaced words can fundamentally alter understanding. I’ve often contemplated whether the narrative of the wise men truly belongs within the traditional Christmas narrative, given the potential for misinterpretation.
