Even I Was Amazed

I expected it. I knew it was going to happen. It was as if I could tell the future. I knew once the dems decided on Kamala being the candidate, everyone in the news media world would jump on board.

However, I must admit, even I was amazed at how fast everyone was on board with Kamala. In just about one day, everyone started telling how wonderful Kamala is and suddenly Old Joe wasn’t so good after all.

Can anyone spell c-o-n-s-p-i-r-a-c-y?

World Out of Balance

I am sure you saw all the recent weather reports. It seems tons of sand have been transported to the US by wind. It is strange, in spite of all the weather reports I’ve heard, no one ever pointed out that tons of that sand is settling into the Atlantic Ocean, which will contribute to the seas rising.

Moreover, has anyone considered that redistributing that weight might throw the earth out of balance. I suggest an emergency plan.

First, we need to calculate how much of the sand went into the ocean. Then we need to figure out how much settled onto North America. Then we need to gather that sand all up and take it back to the Sahara before the earth starts shaking from being out of balance. I mean, everyone has seen a washing machine out of balance. Can you imagine the whole earth shaking like that, only worse?

Anyone have any better ideas?

Their Own Truth?

I wish I could cite a previous post I wrote on religion. I couldn’t find it. Anyway, I basically said the advantage of a made up religion you get to make the rules. The disadvantage is that only one will get you into heaven. Jesus said that He is the way. By the way, He also said he is the Truth.

The fact is, you can’t make up your own religion and go to heaven. Also, you cannot make up your own truth. If you try, you will continually run into the real truth. When your life is over, you will be confronted with the absolute truth. You will have no doubt about it. The problem is that it will be too late then and you will know it.

While we are discussing truth, there is one truth no one can deny. One day, we all die. Every one of us. It is unavoidable and it will be forever, in Hell or Heaven. And by the way, your truth will not mean a thing.

The Trip of a Thousand Miles

We’ve all heard and/or read the saying dozens of times, or at least something similar. The trip of a thousand miles starts with the first step. I must admit, it is a pretty wise saying and I have thought about it many times. Let’s hope I need not explain it.

However, that old fella that originally said that should have added 4 words, “in the right direction.” If we go east when we should have gone west, we only increased the distance by yet another step.

It should be obvious but I’m afraid it’s not. Obama preached hope and change. To be sure, he did change things, but in the wrong direction. Change for change sake is wrong. If you are going to change something, make sure the change is in the right direction. In the previous example, the fella going east, just to be going somewhere, made a mistake.

Since Obama, the whole bunch of dems are continuing in the same direction, which, to be sure is the wrong direction.

For sure, the next time we hear someone preaching hope and change, it would be a very good idea if we just ignore him. He has destroyed the hope of thousands of Americans and destroyed the lives of millions of non-Americans.

Let’s put it this way, under his leadership, we took a giant step in the wrong direction.

Why Have Primaries?

We could save millions of dollars. Think of all the money we spend in having primaries. What we could do is just find someone who no likes and let him or her represent the party. That would work, right?

What is it that I’m referring to? If you don’t know, I’ll explain it. Old Joe won the primary. He received about 14 million votes. He was going to represent the Democrat party. Then, a horrible thought occurred to the hierarchy of the party. If Old Joe were to run, he would lose. Worse, it would cause the loss of many of the down ballot races. They realized if they let Old Joe run, the damage would not only be severe in near future but also in the long run.

The truth is that they would spend decades recovering. Most everyone realized it. Mostly, those who provided campaign funds realized it and withheld their money. Panic ensued. And so it is, in a few minutes, a few men, as it were, in smoke filled rooms decided to negate the votes of millions of voters.

I can understand it. It really does make sense. The problem is that it’s not kosher. It is not the way things are suppose to be done.

However, they decided to take matters into their own hands. No one told them to do it. They just decided to do it all by themselves. The first thing, they knew they had to get Old Joe to stop aside. It seemed so easy. All they needed to do was offer him some money and ask politely for him to step aside.

The problem was, it didn’t work. Then there was more panic. They thought about doing this. They thought about doing that. I am sure they even considered backing a third candidate. It all just came back to the one problem. Old Joe was still in the way.

They visited him again. This time they not only sweetened the retirement, but they added a threat. Well, you and I will never be privy to the conversations. We will never know exactly what was said. I am sure there were no recorders allowed. I don’t think they allowed any stenographers. I am sure they made sure there were no bugs or listening devices. If the actual conversations were to get out, it would be the death of the democrat party and no one wanted that.

At any rate, for some time, they continued to dangle and enlarge the carrot while they kept to threaten and enlarge the stick. Finally, it worked. Whatever the threat, whatever the enticement, he finally accepted the deal.

Then, in a matter of a few hours, millions of votes were negated. They were not given any option. They weren’t asked about it. They were not asked to raise their hands if they agreed.

I would like to think the Republican party wouldn’t do something like that. I don’t know.

Nonetheless, if Kamala goes on to become president, it would be the result of the least democratic method by a party that claims that Trump wants to do away with democracy. Indeed, it is the party that claims it champions democracy. So much for their premises. We know the truth now. It’s about power, not democracy.

If it’s really about the power, and it is, why even go through the primaries? It would seem to be just one huge ruse. It’s one huge expensive fraud. Their goal is, “We chose, you go along like it or not.”

And… Let’s not forget. The media has helped the power brokers all the way, even to the point of changing Kamala’s history in less than a week.

Please Read. I Have This Really Wonderful Idea and You Will Love it Too

Let’s assign everyone to stores. If you are assigned to store A then you will go to store A. You will not be able to go to store B or C or even D. You will get in trouble if you go to any store but A you will be called into the Store Control Board and you will be soundly scolded. If you complain that store A is the worst of the stores, you will be reminded, it is for the good of the stores, you see. We don’t want any of the stores to go broke, you see.

Ridiculous. Yes. Of course, it is. Yet, when it comes to schools, your choice is gone. Your child will go to school A, even if it is the worst school in the city, the worst in the state, or even the worst in the universe. Can anyone explain that to me, please?

I Say That to Say This

One of the things I regret in life was that I didn’t take advantage of the education program they had while I was in the Marines. They would have paid for 80% of a 4 year college. Actually, it is to their benefit to have educated marines. Moreover, an enlisted man has a chance of becoming a commissioned officer, which benefits the Marines and the marine.

Moreover, in as much as possible, they went way out of the way to make sure someone working on a degree has all the time they can provide. It is impossible to say how many hours I spent waiting for things to happen. This is time I could have spent studying.

Now, as the title says, I said that to say this. For those unable to afford college, the service is not that bad. It is quite conceivable that after a four year hitch, you might very well be on your way to getting your degree.

And besides. You might decide you like the service. Some folks do you know. I would have stayed in but I just wasn’t a good leader. If I stayed in, I was looking at having to lead. Nonetheless, if a person has the drive, a person can do well for himself. By the way, he can also do some good for our country too.

As an aside, you can learn how to lead. And the world is always looking for people who know how to lead.

On the other hand, like me, you can find out that you don’t like to lead.

If nothing else, try the reserves or national guard. It will let you get your toe wet so you see if you like it or not. Indeed, joining the reserves before going regular has many advantages. If I knew what I know now, it is the way I would have done it. A year or two in the reserves right out of high school would have worked out very well before going regular. It is one of those things they like to keep secret.

Dumb and Dumber

Expressed in another way, dumber than dirt.

As mentioned earlier, I have no interest in the Olympics this year and I don’t. However, I do listen to the news. According to the news, they put a man in the boxing ring with a woman. I would use more pejorative terms but I know of none. It was stupid to allow a man to compete as a woman. Even more, it was even dumber for the man to get in the ring with her.

He might have technically won the match, but he clearly lacks a brain. Just think, as he goes through life, that will follow him every day, every year of his life. Henceforth he will be a joke. He might very well be proud of himself. However, every time a real man meets him, he will draw a laugh. Every time a woman meets him, he will draw her disgust. No one will ever respect him. In the end, he will not even respect himself. In the end, his win will be hollow… champion among women.
