C.R.T.

When I was in high school, I started learning electrics. By the time I was in the 11th grade, I could fix most problems on black and white TVs, which were exclusively tubes. To some degree, I was getting into transistors a little, but they are much less forgiving. You get something wrong with tubes, they were pretty rugged electronically, if not physically. On the other hand, you get things wrong on a transistor for just a fraction of a second and they become useless, though they are much more able to stand the physical stress.

One of the tubes in the old TVs was the cathode ray tube, abbreviated CRT. It was the big one that was also frequently referred to as the picture tube. It was on that tube that the picture was formed. Normally, a black and white picture tube used 15 to 17 thousand volts. The Color tubes required far more, as much as 25 thousand, maybe more.

When I went into the 1970’s most TV’s were converted mostly to transistors. Two components remained vacuum tubes and it appeared to me that they would remain so. I just didn’t see how the two tubes could ever be replaced, certainly, not the CRT. I mean, what in the world could you use to replace the picture tube. Moreover, another tube was used to help develop the high voltages needed for the cathode ray tube.

It shows how much I knew. By the late 1980s I could see how the huge vacuum tube would be replaced by a thin panels of light emitting diodes. Go figure. Nowadays, anyone younger than twenty would never think of a TV as having a CRT. The abbreviation is used for something far worse, Critical Race Theory.

It’s a bunch of baloney, hooey, nonsense, also known as hogwash. When I was going through boot camp, my drill instructor told me everything anyone needs to know about race. He said marines are all one color, green. To this day I believe him.

To this day, I found that some of the best marines I knew were green. Then again, there were others who weren’t quite so good. They were green too. I didn’t know any white marines or black marines. I didn’t meet any brown marines. To me they were all the same color, green.

Now they want to go and mess up all the military services and teach them all that there are white, black and brown men and women in the service of our country. It won’t work. I know. I spent nine years in the Marines. Anything that causes one marine to look at another marine in a different light, as if he is different drives a wedge between them. That drastically decreases their effectiveness in battle. It might even cost the lives of a few green marines. I don’t like that.

As for those generals that are pushing the idea, I have a theory about them. Peacetime breeds bad generals. Lincoln found that out. He went through several generals before he found Grant. Ike was a lieutenant colonel at the outbreak of WWII. By the time it was over, he had five stars on each of his shoulder.

The reason for this is simple. Peacetime generals know how to politic. Wartime generals know how to fight wars.

Also, dividing a people is a good way to to concur them. You ever hear of “divide and concur.” It is a common method of the communist. It is no secret. It is in many of their publications.

I heard Fauci might be investigated. Still my question is what is taking so long? Why isn’t he in the big house already?

The Problem With Revolving Doors

As expected, Biden spoke of ridding the nation of guns. I guess he didn’t read my post last night. I must admit, it is a good idea to put more police out there, but only if they are properly trained and backed. If they are not backed, they effectively have no authority and they will accomplish little. Indeed, it might result in doing more harm than good.

However, his biggest problem is that he never addressed the problem of the revolving doors. If you have infinite policemen out there and they keep arresting criminals, what good will it do if they just go right back out the revolving doors? The policeman arrest the criminal; he stand before the judge. Then the culprit goes right back out the revolving door, just to commit more crimes.

The fact is that it accomplishes nothing. On the other hand, the criminal learns to have no fear of the law. Indeed, he mocks the man with the badge and laughs as he is goes through the process. He might even threaten the officer and his family. There is nothing the officer can do and there is nothing anyone else will do.

Until the revolving door is dealt with, the crime will only get worse month by month, day by day. I wrote a book, “His Protector,” that envisions a New York City close to what it is today, though maybe a little worse. At the time I wrote the book, New York was one of the safest cities in the world. It is one of the advantages of writing things that take place in the future. Never did I dream my prediction of the city would be so close to what it is today. It is about a lieutenant who was forcefully retired from the Marines and someone who is stocking him on the New York streets. Even with his martial art skills, he is afraid to walk the streets, especially at night.

I don’t know, but I would guess that is pretty close to what New York City is today and it is primarily for one simple reason, they refuse to lock up their criminals.

It is why I call the dems Friends Of Criminals (FOC). Who else would let the criminals go free as the do?! In a way, the FOCs have their own pipeline, only it is for criminals.

By the way, speaking of criminals, why is Fauci still walking free!!??

Thank you for spending a little of your precious time with me.

Biden Wants to Talk About the Rise in Crime Today

I heard over the news that Biden wants to address the country on the rise in crime and how to decrease it. It is nice to know that he has finally managed the first step, recognizing that the problem exist.

I can help him on how to resolve the problem.

  1. Never mind the guns. Lock up the criminals. It just might amaze him as to how much good this would do. Oddly, it even helps the criminals.
  2. Seal the border. Many criminals are finding their way into our country and committing crimes here. Frequently they bring guns with them. This point is so simple a first grader could figure it out. Also, drugs are a big part of the crime. Stop the drugs from entering the country and the crime will decrease.
  3. Tell his friends, the Chinese to stop importing fentanyl. They provide most of the supply and it is not because they want to do us any favors. It is possible for one nation to take over another with little more than the use of drugs. At the least he is using them to weaken us.

My guess is that Biden will not do any of these things. He will blame it all on President Trump and tell how important it is to control guns.

Consider the following: If all the guns are locked up, the crime will continue. If all the criminals are locked up, the crime will cease or at least greatly decrease.

By the way, speaking of borders, where is Kamala. Obviously, she does not want to be associated with that fiasco she was put in charge of. Obviously, she has done not one thing to improve it. Come to think of it, I think that is the plan.

I’m still waiting for someone to put Fauci in that orange jumpsuit. Actually, I wouldn’t mind if it is yellow. In a way, that is more suitable for the likes of him.

Use Steel

I keep hearing that the price of wood keeps going up. The solution: use steel, or maybe aluminum.

Wood cannot be totally replaced, but using steel studs in the walls have a number of advantages. I don’t guess they are any cheaper, but they save more than enough time to make up the difference.

Moreover, they are not susceptible to termites or any other insects. If they get wet, it causes them no harm. The really neat part is that they are straight, which means you can make the corners of rooms truly square. That means, when you put that table in a corner, it will go up to the both sides of the corner completely.

Steel does have one more advantage, though you will likely not see it in the lifetime of a home. It is completely recyclable. Unlike wood, no matter how long that steel stud is in that wall, it can be melted down and tossed into a furnace and reused. The ought to really make the tree hugers happy. Less trees in the building; less waste later, during demolition.

Oh. And by the way, did I mention, in general steel does not burn, though it does melt.

The wood industry would not like it though. They are likely thrilled with the price of wood going up.

People

At or about 1964 a song was written for the musical “Fanny,” and Barbara Streisand recorded it. It was, maybe, her most successful recording. I don’t know. I’m just guessing.

I remember hearing the song, over and over. It seems that every time I got in my car to go anywhere, it was on my radio sometime during my trip. I must admit, I still like the song, especially Streisand’s recording, though I can’t say much for her politics.

Maybe the most memorable lyrics are “People who need people are the luckiest people in the world.”

Recently, the song was brought to mind, though, in a negative context. Nowadays it seems the FOCs (Dems) seem to have a little different attitude that could be expressed by a rewording of those famous words. It seems that their attitude is to teach People to hate People for the color of their skin. They have been doing it in our colleges and in our businesses. Now they have allowed the concept to invade our grade schools, even down to kindergarten.

They are taught that black people are the unluckiest people in the world and white people are the luckiest. One Friend of Criminals (FOC) even said that racism is the worst that it has ever been in this country. (Maybe he has forgotten the days of slavery.) Some folks just open their mouths and lies come pouring out. They can’t help it. It is in their nature.

The fact is that they want to sew discord and hate. They want People to hate People. They want to cause chaos so that they can promise their grand solution, communism.

For those that are not already aware, communism is never a solution. If you have any doubts, just look at those countries where communist rule. No one is fighting to get in those countries. Most are trying to leave.

On the other hand, the country founded on capitalism, everyone is trying to get in. It really should a giant hint for the wise.

Think about it. In China, you only have what they allow you to have. In the US, you have, mostly, what you have earned. To be sure, the socialist have already infiltrated. They do take part of your earnings and give it to those who will not work. They allow rioters to go through businesses and take what they want, burning the rest.

And, by the way, the FOCs refuse to fire Fauci, the one who financed the lab that made the virus that killed over three million… “People.” Why isn’t he in an orange jumpsuit?

Friends of Criminals

I have a new term for the dems. I used to use dummycrat and the name does fit. However, those that own this website don’t seem to like it. Every time I try to use the tag, they stop the post. So, I’ve decided to use Friends of Criminals henceforth, FOC for short. My wife suggested FOE, which also fits somewhat, but I would guess FOC is better. The neat thing is, at least for the meantime, no one will keep me from using the FOC tag or category.

At any rate, the tag is more appropriate. Who else provided the criminals with such things as: no bond, no charges for setting cities afire and stealing things right in the open, unlawful voting, unlawful border crossing and last but not least, smuggling of deadly drugs such as fentanyl. In essence, they have been aiding and abetting the the cartels from before Biden moved into The White House.

People are dying and neither Biden nor his vice-president cohort cares. It is all about power. Then too, Fauci is guilty of death of millions and Biden has not so much as suggested firing him, let alone locking him up. Fauci is very lucky to have FOCs, but that luck will not last forever. Then he will have the anger of, not just the US, but the entire world down on him. He will not be able to find a friend or a place to hide. Maybe he should take the hint from the doomsday preppers and find himself a very deep hole where he can hide.

On a little different subject, those FOCs really ought to understand one of the most effective assault weapons, the hand. It would seem it is used far more often then any gun here lately. Some have been been using their fists to attack at will anyone they decide to and no one seems to care, beyond those injured, their relatives, the police and most republicans. To be sure, the dems are the Friends of Criminals.

We Need a Pipeline

We need a pipeline, one that goes from the Mississippi River to the Colorado River. Any time the water level is too high on the Mississippi, we could pump a bunch of water to the Colorado. They almost always need it.

Perhaps we could compromise. The Missouri river much closer, so the pipeline could be shorter.

To be sure, we would need some big pumps and some good filtering. We would not want to introduce animals to the Colorado that would mess up the ecosystem. However, it would be possible. Moreover, the environmentalist would not be able to fuss about it. Water is not a pollutant and it just might save the Colorado ecosystem and maybe a few farmers. Actually, it might even help us at the supermarket too.

Oh. And by the way, it just might put some of those people back to work… you know, the ones Biden put out of work the first day he took office.

Once again, the questions of the day: Why isn’t Fauci fired? Why isn’t he in an orange jump suit. I hope someone thought to make sure he surrendered his passport. We don’t need him going anywhere right now.

Correction on that. If he wants to go to China or Russia, we need to get him a one way ticket and make sure he gets on the plane. He would feel right at home in China as he has many friends there.

Birthing Person, REALLY!?

THE POLITICALLY CORRECT HAVE GONE TOO FAR. Their term surely underrates the people we call mothers. To imply that all they do is to provide birth for child only proves their stupidity, Moreover, it is a gross lack of respect.

Mothers only start being mothers at the birth of a child but it is a life long task, one that most mothers look forward to… even to the point of being grandmothers.

  1. They are teachers
  2. They provide food.
  3. They change diapers.
  4. They are nurses.
  5. They provide reassurance.
  6. The slap the hand that gets in the cookie jar and they make the birthday cakes.

Actually, I think I would never be able to make a list that would include it all. If a birthing person is all the the political correct think of their mothers, I pity them. They missed an important part of life.

A Few Observations About China

Over the years, there were some things I have observed about china. Though I would be hard pressed to prove them, I consider them obvious facts, or as I like to say, “They are casual to the most obvious observer.”

  1. China rarely has an original idea. On the other hand, they do copy the ideas of others well. Note that most of their supersonic fighter aircraft bear a strange resemblance to the American’s. Do you really want to mark that up to coincidence? Moreover, you notice that they always require businesses doing business inside their borders to relinquish their plans and designs. Do you think that is by accident?
  2. Most folks say their government is communist. It is not communist nor has it ever been communist. In communism all share resources equally. I assure you, the president of China and his cohorts live much better than the rest. It far more closely resembles the surf system of dark to middle age Europe. In this system, the vast majority worked their fingers to the bones to while the royalty did little or nothing. Of course, China does not have any official royalty. Then again, the surfs of Europe lived better than the surfs of China. More important, they had more privacy and the royalty of Europe were not such tyrants.
  3. I just looked up the population in China. By now it is likely 1.5 billion, plus or minus. That would mean there are likely about 1.4 million that would give their eye teeth to leave that horrid country, given the chance. I might be off a little, but I think you get the point. It does make me wonder. What would the leaders in China do if they found themselves the only ones left… without surfs to do the work. Then again, maybe the same question might be posed to many other nations including the US. Just what would the dems do if they had no one to tax, no one to do all the work, no one to defend the borders. That sounds like a real nightmare for the bunch of them, but especially the Chinese hierarchy. With no surfs to terrorize, I suppose they would just turn on each other. My guess is they would die of starvation before they could figure out how put food on their tables, that is, if they didn’t kill each other first.

…And this is what the dummycrats are wishing for our nation. It is…why I call them dummycrats.

Why isn’t Fauci fired. Why is he not in his orange jump suit.

As a side note, if you go to my home page, you will find a list of my books, some of them pretty thought provoking. You will also find instructions on how to order them. For those who like to look before jumping, Amazon will let you read some of the book before you order it.
