As the Youth Die

When I wrote my book, “Mitch” I tried to put passages in it that would drive the youth away from drugs. As you can see, that didn’t work. Not many read the book. If they read it, they haven’t paid any attention. I would say my words fall on deaf ears, but they fact is my words don’t reach their ears.

In one of the passages, the main character, Mitch, is explaining to Margo one of his worst fears as policeman in drug enforcement is to one day look down the barrel of a gun held by a twelve year-old. In the book, he doesn’t explain it further. The reason for his fear is obvious. Does he kill the youth in self-defense or because of his age, does he allow the youth to pull the trigger on him?

As I wrote the words, and more over the years, I do wonder if there are similar situations that police officers are put in from time to time. I suspect it does happens. Sometimes the officer allows the youth to pull the trigger. In some cases, the officer pulls the trigger, knowing that he will live with the regret… knowing that those who appointed him to protect and serve will accuse him forever and a day. For sure, many times the officer goes to prison.

Don’t get me wrong. The officer is not always right to pull the trigger. I would never make a good cop. I would be among those that might pull the trigger when the kid has a B-B gun. Then I would have to suffer the rest of my life knowing that I made a mistake, though it isn’t really a mistake. B-B guns frequently do look like real guns, especially in the heat of the moment.

When I was a kid, that sort of thing didn’t happen. Why is it so commonplace today? There might be many reasons. However, I know of two. When I was a kid, kids were not involved in crime. Today, it is more and more common for younger and younger kids to have real guns and pull the trigger with little or no reason. Without police, the eleven and twelve-year-olds would be shooting each other as, to some degree, they do today.

The second reason is a little more difficult to see, but it’s there. The proliferation of the drug culture. At first, it was just the adults that were the only ones shooting at each other over the drugs and money. I guess, in the future we can look forward to 10 or even 9-year-olds shooting at each other.

As the youth die, the dems don’t care. They do nothing to curtail drug use. In fact, they seem to do things to encourage it and the accompanying violence, you know, like letting the cartel import the poison over the border.

You never, ever see the dems shedding a tear at the loss of the lives of children, actually over anyone. It facilitates the goals of ridding the country of law enforcement by decreasing their funding, which only adds to the problem, which, of course is by design.

Compound Questions

My brother used to frustrate us when we asked him “compound questions.” We would ask him if he wanted “A” or “B”, offering him a choice. Without exception, he replied “Yes.”

Of course that left us with the question, did he want “A” or did he want “B” or both. Even in cases where one choice excluded the other, we were left with trying to figure out which one he wanted.

I’m sorry. It sort of rubbed off on me. Sometimes, when I am given a choice between two things, I chose both. It does cause some frustration as well as confusion. I know because that is how I felt. Nonetheless, it does teach people to arrange their questions more carefully. It’s sort of like the woman that wrote the survey question about immigration.

When a person asks a yes/no question that cannot be answered with a yes or no, they don’t deserve any answer whatever. In the case of the immigration, yes, I am in favor of legal immigration. No, I am against illegal immigration. When she asked the yes/no question, I upset with it and refused to answer it. I suspect that I was not the only one that was upset with it as I saw a write-up a couple of days later. By the way, it is the reason I refuse to take part in surveys. They like to ask yes/no questions when neither is correct; neither is wrong.

During congressional committee meetings, frequently, they like to ask the compound questions, and expect a yes no answer. Better to expect yes, no, don’t know, or a qualified yes or no. It is the least for a person who is under oath to tell the truth. Questions should not be asked to which there is no truthful reply… certainly not when the person asking the question knows it.

Regardless, I do get a little perturbed when someone tries to put me in one box or the other based on a question for which there is no proper answer.

Far Too Little Far Too Late

For over 3 years now, Old Joe has had that valve at the south border wide open. Now he’s discovered he might not be elected because of it. So, he’s trying to blame it on the Republicans as they won’t pass his border Bill.

First, it is far too little far too late. His motivation is far too transparent. I am sure that once the election is over, he’ll make sure to open the valves wide open again, win or lose.

Secondly, the bill he wants to pass will only insure the valve will remain wide open, regardless who wins.

For those unaware, that is what is called deceit. It’s doing the one thing when you say you will do something else. The purpose is to gain power at any cost.

To the Rescue, Not

If you are one of those willing to risk life and limb to save someone from murder, rape or theft, you really should think about it.

If that neighbor woman in that nearby apartment should be assaulted, if you go to the rescue, it might be more than you physical well being at risk. If you should hurt or kill the man threatening that helpless woman, the district attorney might decide you are the dangerous one. He could actually charge and and convict you. You could go to prison.

Even if he doesn’t get a conviction, you will still lose your fortune and you will be penniless and on the street for legal bills. And if you didn’t kill the real assailant, he will be roaming the streets free, looking for another victim.

Am I wrong? It happens and it will, possibly to you.

You need to be careful as to who you vote in as district attorney. You need to be careful of who you elect to be sheriff. Certainly you need to know the candidates for mayor and city council. These people are not running for federal office, but no one can ruin you life any faster.

Not only can they come after you for protecting yourself but for coming to the rescue of others too. If you can’t get someone in office who believes in proper and responsible defense, you just might want to leave the area. If you can’t do that, bar your doors and windows. Fortify your home and maybe your business. Then, of course, you might not want to go out for that walk on that nice day. You should just resort to the treadmill.

And if that young woman is crying out for help, turn away and plug your ears.

The Solid South

When we moved into Mississippi we moved into the Solid South and we knew it. It was a time that politicians around here did not admit to being Republican. And, by the way, there were very few Republicans, if they admitted it or not.

Virtually, almost literally, all public officials were Democrats. I would like to take credit for the rapid change but I think it was more a matter of timing.

In a matter of just a few years, it seemed the Solid South went from solid Democrat to solid Republican. One thing I found odd about that is that the Democrats that were holding office became the Republicans holding office. The terms changed but the people remained the same.

It caused me concerns but I simply did not know what to make of it. The same people I was opposing became the politicians for which I was voting. I’m not sure how that happened, to this day.

So I am now voting for people who were really Republicans that were in disguise or I am now voting for Democrats who are now in disguise.

I think a lot of that was going on all over the country. It was an enormous upheaval. The end of it all is that we now have a bunch of Democrats who are pretending to be Republicans. They simply did not want to give up the power base they built so they donned the sheepskin and pretended to be what they aren’t.

So it is we have what appears to be a solid Republican south, but in truth, it just ain’t that solid. There are many red states with representatives voting with the blue states. That’s just not working out well at all.

Smart Idea!

Again, let me say, as a Mississippi resident, I really have no business telling Tennesseans how to run their state. However, as an observer, I must admit they seem to have passed a good law. With a law requiring law enforcement officers to notify ICE of illegal aliens, the illegal aliens just might want to go somewhere else to hide.

That of course decreases the cost of having illegal aliens in the state: education, welfare, imprisonment, and law enforcement. Some would say this is not fair for the illegal aliens. The fact is, they are illegal just simply by bypassing our rules, laws and regulations. It is also unfair for them to be here while others wait their turn and follow the rules, laws and regulations.

As a side note, they have no loyalty or feelings of allegiance to the US, to the state or the city in which they decide to take up residence. If they move here for the dollar, the dollar and their own country is where their heart is.

You don’t believe me. I ask you. Do they wave the American flag or their own? Are they proud of America or their own country? Do they stand for the Star Spangled Banner or more likely for some other. Maybe they stand proud when an enemy flag is raised and the tune of their country is played.

Let’s Keep the Proper Perspective

if Trump had remained in office, the price of oil would have remained $30 a barrel or less. Putin would not have been able to afford to attack Ukraine. Iran would not have had the money to back HAMAS and other Israel haters. Hence, there would have been no war in the Middle East. China would not be causing us grief with drugs and Nationalist China (Fomosa).

We would not have illegal immigrants running across the border and they would not be killing our citizens by the tens of thousands. (via drugs and in other ways)

Finally, we would not have new insurgents of diseases such as measles, TB and likely a few others.

Of course, the dems don’t care. All they wanted to do was to get the orange man out of office, and why. Just what damage did he do, other than to those who hate the US and our Constitution?

The fact is, the only people he hampered were those who were seeking power and money.

What Every Republican Should Have Learned

President Reagan made the mistake of making the agreement that, if the dems would make laws to stop the inflow of illegal aliens then he would permit up to 20 million amnesty.

He did, they didn’t. It was, as far as I know, the one big mistake he admitted to. Every Republican should have learned the lesson, but sadly few have. We need to broadcast to one and all, “We have learned the lesson.”

It is the simple concept, payment must be made in advance. We need to repeat the phrase until all are tired of hearing it.

Right now, the dems have demonstrated they want an open border. There is no since seeking any agreement until they first close the border. We must insist on the payment in advance or learn the same lesson Reagan did. Those insisting on dealing with the likes of Biden must also insist in him closing the the border before we hold ANY discussions.

We can never win if we keep letting them win every compromise.

Covid Shot? Never Again

Been getting blood clots since my last one.

As near as I can tell, it doesn’t work. I have had it 3 times. No thanks. Never ever going to take the word of CDC ever, ever again. They lied about the virus. They lied about the effectiveness of the shot. The lied many times about AIDS and knew it. Amazing how people can get paid so much for outright dishonestly.

Now they want us to take, what is it? the 10th or 11th.

I figure, if I can survive the virus 3 times, I’ll likely it survive again.

Backlashed

Backlash is the word used in in the articles I read about Biden’s intentions to remove any recollection of the iconic celebrated kiss on Times Square. Instantaneously, the effort ceased.

The whole thing was virtually over by the time I heard of it. Then, I began thinking about it. In truth, this is an attempt at thought control. It was an attempt to change, or should I say destroy history.

The woman didn’t object. As a matter of fact, the two became friends. Then, all of a sudden, the dems decided it was time for that little segment of our our national history to just quietly disappear.

Then PEOPLE “backlashed,” if I may say. They got together and said, Don’t do that! Figuratively, of course. notice no quotation marks.

My original thought was, that was good. I would really like that little part of our history to remain for a century or two. I don’t have much hope for that. When the dems want something destroyed, it will be destroyed. It is simply a matter of time. Once the incident fades from memory, they will make another attempt, but more carefully.

They will use the same methods they used on the statues. 50 years ago, people would have backlashed when people destroyed statues.

However, once the dems remolded the statues into evil icons, they are gone. Gone too, is the history behind them all, be that good or be that bad.

As I said, mind control. And where be the backlash? Who stands in the way of such righteous indignation, but for a fleeting moment.

50 years ago, the open borders of Old Joe would never have been tolerated. It would have been backlashed.

Today any effort to close the border has become evilized by the dems and by the press. (Redundant. Press and dems, same-same.)

It’s more than a pattern. It is a method to control history, minds and our future, by control of our past. And, you see. There is no backlash. Today, our Constitution is history. Tomorrow, it will be evil. A little while later, it will be gone.

Even now the the thought engineers are busy designing ways to make the Bible and Christianity evil. Need I explain what they intend to do next. If they can make it evil, they can destroy it.
