In the Air We Breathe

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Border wall, Bribes, Christian values, Crazy Nuts, Drug Abuse, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Our Legal Systems, Politcal Opinion, Safety, Socialists by

News flash- University of Washington have found traces of drugs in the Washington & Oregon transit systems air and surfaces. If there, then where else?

I guess this means that if the degeration continues, we might need to go back to wearing masks again whenever we go out in public. Even more we also need to wear gloves and carefully discard both after they are removed. It will likely be good to change clothing. Thar stuff can be absorbed through skin.

Keeping that Mexican border open is and was a bad idea. Now, even more important, we need to send good strong signals to China and the cartels. If we don’t, we might need to wear space suits every time we leave our homes.

The worst part is that the party in power does not care one iota. Ask them about the drug problem and all you’ll hear is crickets, that is, unless the insects start getting high too.

Establishing the Lies

Posted in Being woke, Biden, Christian values, Communist Takover, Controllers, Deceit, Pelosi, Plutocrat, President Trump, Respect, Social Media, Truth by

It never fails to amaze me as to how quickly can become embedded while it seems to take forever to establish the truth. Even now people speak of January first as a riot and insurrection. They neither nor say anything to establish it. It is now just assumed to be true. And, of course, they pin the whole thing on President Trump, though he did all he could to avoid it.

I’m not going to go back through all the facts. If people want to believe the lie, there is nothing anyone will be able to say or do that will alter it. However, let’s remember four indisputable facts. One, the only one shot was a women who was lying in a defenseless position by a high ranking policeman. It is the one most obvious case of police mistreatment, and no one wants to say a thing about it.

Two, the truth is that the police seemed to be welcoming everyone in, even to the point of providing a welcoming wave of the arm. I know. I saw the video. As the people entered, other than a few people, they remained orderly doing no more than looking around. No one had weapons, period. No one attacked any of the police.

Three, at his speech, President Trump encouraged the crowd to be peaceful. There were complaints that he did noting to stop it after he found out about it. What was he supposed to do. He had absolutely no communication with the crowd. He was denied access to all social media so he could not even send out a message via them.

Four, President Trump made two attempts to activate the national guard. Both times he was turned down. Pelosi had charge of security in the building. Trump could not override her authority. When she said “no” to the help from the national guard, it meant no. Had she permitted the national guard, she would not have had January 6 as a political club with which to hit the Republicans with.

To make matters worse, there are still folks they are holding in jail that never entered the building. So much for a quick fair trail. Even if they did go to trial, they would have been tried with juries that would be all democrat. DC is 95 percent dems. The defendants could try for a change of venue, but good luck on that.

I am a little curious when some of these cases make it up to The Supreme Court. I would suspect many will be overturned quickly. The problem is that some of these folks are going to lose years out of their life and that cannot be returned.

Even more angering, what really, really bothers me, there are many rinos that are quickly falling in line and are ready to concede to one of the greatest deceits in American history.

It’s Only Natural

Posted in Advertising, Christian values, Lawyers and Representation, Uncategorized by

Those that have read my posts will know that I like poking at advertisements, especially the ones on TV. I feel they mostly are directed at those who have difficulty resoning, Moreover, they are frequently very repetitious… to the point I have been known to change channels. Then of course, I find something better on the other channel and I don’t switch back. It’s only natural. Why should I have to put up with bad advertising if the need doesn’t exist.

I do have another aspect of advertising to which I object. (You notice how I avoided ending the sentence with a preposition for those grammar fanatics. I used, “to which I object” instead of as most would use the, “object to.”)

Regardless, it would seem the new craze is, “contains only natural ingredients,” “Contains no drugs,” and so forth. I see right through the ruse and I hope others do as well. I mean, where did drugs come from in the first place but things found in nature. Penicillin started when a doctor discovered bread mold killed bacteria. By the way, I think everyone knows that mold on bread is very natural. I don’t suggest a person with an infection should use it on that cut though.

Lead is natural. It is an element found in nature. Many years ago we outlawed it in gas and paint. Though natural, it can cause bad problems. Mercury is natural. We used to use it a lot in thermometers and mining for gold. They even put the stuff in children’s toys. Not so much anymore. If it is used in mining gold, it is only with extreme caution. Mostly we use the electronic thermometers, far from occurring natually.

Many modern things in today’s society allow us to avoid the old natural stuff and that is a good thing. In the past, it was quite common for kids to suffer lead poisoning. Nowadays, we are replacing the lights containing led with the not natural L.E.D.s (Smaller, safer and much lasts much longer) We have better paint, longer lasting paint that is lead free. Even the autos are having to run on lead-free diets. Better for all. Even the cars are lasting longer.

I understand the concept of natural meds. Really I do. Still we must be careful. Just because something is completely natural, it does not mean necessarily that it is better or even safer.

My advice is to face all ads with speculation. Just because something is advertised on TV, it does not naturally follow that it is good, better or best. At 73, I have learned that lesson more than once.

Just trying to save y’ll the pain of finding stuff out on your own. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to straighten out those advertisers a little. I really don’t like deceit anywhere I see it.

What Recourse?

Posted in Abuse of Power, Crime, Lawyers and Representation by

It is a question I have mauled over in my mind a few times. What happens when a person is charged with a crime and he has to mortgage the house and the wife’s wedding to pay for the defense. Then after it is over, the jury says “Not guilty,” what recourse has the man got.

He’s still left with the mortgage and, of course, he likely no longer has a job. The district attorney might send you a nice impressive apology letter, I don’t know. Just maybe it can be used to apply for another job.

So, people, like President Trump can afford the costs of lawyers. If one of those runaway district attorneys came after me, I’d have to rely on one of those lawyers provided by the state. Then, of course, if that’s not enough, then that won’t be enough.

There is a lot of power in the hands of a DA. He can break a man, though he be innocent. He can walk in and say, “Sign on the dotted line or get yourself a good lawyer; cause this is going to cost you a bundle.”

In theory, that is the purpose of the grand jury but you and I know, that rarely works. Pre-trials can help a little, but even that requires a lawyer.

Perhaps, if they come and knock on my door and tell me I’m under arrest for something I didn’t do, I’d just plead not guilty and sit there and wait for them to prove that I am. That way, I may end up in prison, but at least they won’t make me spend my last dime on the impossible.

Actually, that’s not the point. The state pays the bills for the DA. When he loses a case, he’s not out a dollar. He doesn’t lose his house and boat. He shrugs his shoulders, smiles and says, sorry. I really thought you were guilty.

I don’t know the answer to that. Like I’ve said, I have mauled it over for a while now. Maybe we need a third option for a jury. If the person charged proves his innocence, then the jury ought to come up with a decision of innocent. If that happens, the state must pay all the lawyer bills, plus 10% for the inconvenience.

Moreover, if a man can go back out into society proved innocent, he just might be able to get another job.

I’m open to suggestions. It is the best idea I have. However, we really do need to make these DAs be a bit more careful the way they throw their power around.

Please don’t get me wrong. Most DAs bend over backward in an effort to keep from putting the wrong guy in prison. It’s kind of like what I heard all the way through high school. It’s always the 10% that ruins for all the others.

Hen Houses and Foxes

Posted in Biden, Our Legal Systems, Politcal Opinion, Uncategorized by

There is an adage, “Like the fox watching the hen house.” I should not have to explain it but I will. There is an element of society that just might not remember it. They just might not know what it means. In the old days, on the old farms, the farmers used to have problems with foxes getting into hen houses and killing the hens. Hence, it would be considered a bad practice to put foxes in the hen houses to protect the hens.

Now why should I bring this up. Well our neighborhood dems have done it. That’s right. They have just put the fox in charge of protecting the chickens. Can’t figure out why.

Well to be honest, it is not quite a match as a metaphor. It is somewhat opposite even. Weiss was just appointed special prosecutor. Now that’s dumb. They just appointed the prosecutor that was willing to give Hunter Biden the sweetheart deal. Does anyone really think that Weiss will raise his little finger in an effort to convict Hunter. Certainly, he will very carefully avoid any possibility of dragging the liar in chief into the investigation.

Besides, we all know the outcome from the beginning. Hunter has his father father by the short hairs of his neck. No one has said as much. I have absolutely no proof, but I suspect that Hunter somehow told dear old pops that if he spends one day behind bars then so will Pops. Hence, Old Joe will make sure Hunter, his beloved son will not spend one day in prison.

Hence, my guess is that Weiss and his crew will spend the next 5 to 7 months partying on the funds allotted to him. Then, Weiss will come out to the podium and announce that Hunter was addicted to drugs but has done nothing worthy of being prosecuted. By then, the nation will be buried in a campaign and no one will care about the likes of Hunter.

Then again, Weiss just might surprise us all. He might actually do the job that he was appointed to. He just might prove Hunter guilty and he might even implicate Old Joe. In an effort to save his career, he just might lose it. He just might end up penniless where all the bums hang out. He will be able to brag he took down a big criminal in court and for that, he has been relinquished from the courts of royalty.

Somehow, I don’t think Joe is worried about that. My guess is that Weiss knows his place and what is expected of him. Old Joe and his family have nothing to fear. The fox is in the hen house and he will see to that no harm comes to the chickens or Old Joe.

Now why did I use that metaphor? It just doesn’t work. Still you get the idea.

An Accident

Posted in Safety by

I have had more than my share of accidents. Sometimes, I refer to myself as accident prone. Fortunately, I haven’t caused any big catastrophe…yet. Who knows? If the Lord keeps me alive for another ten or so years…

The short intro serves a little purpose. When I went out in search of a charging station the other day, I noticed the traffic was really bad. I mean, Goodman Road going through Southaven is prone to have heavy traffic but this was unusually bad. Moreover, all the businesses on the north side of the road were closed.

After a while, I found out the cause. It seems that a dump trunk operator forgot to lower the dump bed. Before he realized it, he pulled it through some power lines going across the street. Then, he proceeded pulling down five or six power polls with the wires.

Now, that is an accident. I pity the poor man. He either did work for someone, who immediately fired him or, if self employed, is facing bankruptcy… or worse.

I’m sure the man didn’t do it on purpose and likely everyone knows it. However, it is the sort of thing you don’t just say sorry and walk away from it. My guess is, once he realized what happened, he likely sat in the cab a cried for a while. I would have.

Invariably, the lawyers will get into it. Moreover, someone will have to pay for the repair. My guess is that the man’s liability won’t come close to covering it. He just might have to sell all he owns and he’ll still come up short. Maybe someone who knows how can set up one of those fund me pages. I’d contribute what I can.

I have no idea what the final outcome will be but I’m sure it won’t be good for that driver. It just took a moment to make the mistake and it will likely ruin his life, at least in the short term.

I hate it, but that is the way life is. In moments, things happen that change our lives for the worse and it simply cannot be removed with an eraser. Sometimes we bear the blame. I really do hope things turn out well for that driver. As near as I know, no one was hurt badly. At least he can take some solace in that.

It is one of many reasons I decided to leave the Marines. As I said, I do seem to be accident prone and I didn’t want one of my accidents to bring down an F4 with the crew of two. I went on to work on computers. If I make mistakes there, it can cause problems, but, well, there is just no way that I could have taken out the power for a couple of blocks on one side of the street. Those mistakes I made while working on computers were normally easily recoverable.

Yet we need guys like that driver. We need skilled folks who are willing to take the chance. Can you imagine what it would be like if no one would be willing to take the chance to drive the big trucks, knowing that their lives can be ruined in seconds.

As I sit here typing, I wonder, have we lost a good operator for one little lapse in memory? Is the man ever going to be able to drive again?

I don’t know. It’s really not my place to judge. I am sure there will be an investigation. But I sure hope we won’t lose all our truck drivers the first time the have an accident. It could end up making things bad for the rest of us. Not only that, given the risk, we just might start having a hard time finding men and women who are willing to take that risk for a reasonable wage.

I mean, the reason I left the Marines was because I didn’t want to take the risk. Fortunately, there are others who will and do.

As an aside, I would not have wanted to die for my country, but I would have. I just don’t know if I could stand it if I found out that I caused the death of another marine because of my mistake. I would not have liked that at all.

That truck driver. I’m sure he is having a tough time living through it too.

What Is Life Worth?

Posted in Abuse of Power, Christian values, Obama Care, Politcal Opinion, Priorities, Salvation by

From time to time, I make references to my books. Why not? I’m allowed to. Besides, all those who are well known do it. They use whatever platform they have to encourage people to buy books. Why shouldn’t I?

This book is somewhat different. I didn’t and still don’t feel as if I should write it. The subject, the concept was so important to me that I tried to get others to write it. I do not feel as if I did properly impress on society the importance involved. I’m just not that good with words.

At any rate, the name of the book is, “Project Age.” Hopefully, without giving away too much of the plot, there is a portion in which Congress finds out that project age is about a chemical which slows the aging process significantly.

Which brings me to my point. Just how much would such a product be worth? How much would people be willing to pay for it? Let’s get a little personal. How much would you be willing to pay for it? I suspect that some would pay thousands of dollars for a monthly supply. I am sure that there are those willing to pay tens of thousands for a weekly supply. I don’t know. I suppose there are those willing to pay millions to live just a few more days.

Then, there is another question. If the chemical is scarce, why should you get it instead of the guys that haul our garbage off? Is the life of a congressman worth more than a teacher’s? The fact remains, I am sure that every member of congress, senators and representatives, would make sure they got their supply. I mean, we all know their lives are very important. Besides, they would have the power to get the stuff, even if their lives were worth nothing.

Sorry. That’s just the way it works in our society. Actually, it’s the way it works in all civilizations. Those on the throne get the benefits. The rest of us simply get the the left overs.

Contrary to what honest Abe said, we now have a government by lawyers, of the lawyers and for the lawyers. They write the laws, they pass the laws and they benefit from the laws. If you don’t believe me, try passing a law for term limits. Not going to happen. Does not benefit the lawyers who hold office or the mass of the staffs.

Going back to project age, to be sure, the lawyers would likely benefit the most from the chemical. The lawyers would pass laws that would see to it. I have a word for any representative who would say otherwise, liar. Indeed, those who would not admit it would be the first to come up with a reason that they should be first in line, even if there were but ten doses. Then again, it is how it works. Aren’t they and their families the first to benefit. Aren’t they the first to be allowed the exception. Case in point, it is not against the law for them to take advantage of insider trading. (Remember, the laws are for the lawyers. Remember, they did not have to take part in Obama care. They have their own system. Unlike Obama care, it’s a good one. It works.)

Sorry. Got a little off my intended subject. That is, just what is your life worth. What would you be willing to pay to have your life go on another year, a month, a week, a day. If there were some fantastic elixir, what would you be willing pay for it?

I ask this question to maybe make you think. Let’s face it. There are legitimate reasons to want to live a little longer. I have seen my grandchildren. It might be nice to see their children, if only for a few days. Perhaps you’re working on an important scientific project and you’d like to see it though to it’s completion. If I asked a thousand people for a reason to live just a little longer, most would come up with something pretty good. Some, maybe not.

Now let me toss another question at you. How would you like to live forever, and it wouldn’t cost you a thing? I guess, most would jump at the chance, but few do. Jesus only ask that you be willing to accept him as your savior. Most, foolishly turn him away. They are unwilling to let him pay the price for your salvation. Either that or they say they are good enough on their own.

Most, foolishly turn down the best offer they have ever had, for a number of reasons. By their own choice they reject Jesus and they will lose their chance at eternal life and will face eternal death instead.

You see, to God, you are worth a great deal. It is why He sent His Son to die for you. It is why He wants you to take the chance, before it is too late. You see, God does respect your right to chose. He will not force you to take his offer. He will try to talk you into it, but he won’t make you take it. That is up to you.

Just seems odd to me. A person is willing to pay a fortune for life, but most are unwilling to take it as a gift.

People with power like to take things from others. God, has the ultimate power. He likes to give. He wants to give everyone eternal life. Oddly, most reject the gift. Tell me how that makes sense.

Controllers in Control of the Churches

Posted in Biden, Christian values, Crime, Deceit, January 6, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Liberals, Obama Care, Politcal Opinion, Religion, responsibility & irresponsibility, Social Media, The Clintons, Uncategorized by

It is no new idea of mine that it is time for our churches to rid themselves of control by DC. One might ask, “How is Washington controlling our churches?” By the tax-exempt status. The law says that if the preacher speaks on politics, then they are in danger of losing their tax-exempt status. Therefore, they don’t speak on politics. Therefore, DC controls the subject from the pulpits. It is the same way that Washington controls the schools, the speed limits and who knows how many other things.

But, if we give up our exempt status, then people will stop giving to the church. They will go to other churches. Sounds just exactly like what they want us to say. Hence, I say, DC has control of the churches. Right now, it is in a minor way. However, I suggest it will only get worse, not better.

Moreover, I don’t think God likes the idea of Old Joe controlling what is said from the pulpit. If God directs the preacher to speak on the subject, regardless of the subject, Joe really ought not have any say.

Next, do they call abortion a political issue. Already, it is getting difficult to bring up homosexuality, though the Bible makes it quite clear that it is not political. What happens when Old Man Joe fusses for churches speaking about January 6. The instant a preacher says those imprisoned should be pardoned, bang, there goes the tax status.

After a while, the line between politics and religion will be blurred more and more through time. Better that we lie down the gauntlet now. Tell them, it’s First Amendment territory. They have no business telling us what we preach or when we preach it. It is called freedom of speech. It’s called freedom of religion. It’s not called Remote control by DC by improper taxation.

We might lose some folks from the pews. Maybe it is better.

Then again, those churches that don’t mind receiving instruction from DC, then, by all means, say nothing about politics. Say nothing about abortion. Say nothing homosexuality. Careful about what say about crime and law enforcement. Mostly, don’t say a word about the candidates and what they believe. If we take money, then it’s not legal.

As my aside. Bear in mind, there are churches that have no problems maintaining their tax-exempt status while talking about politics, politicians and even encouraging politicians to speak from their podiums. They teach what the dems teach and they have no difficulty in blatantly disobeying the law. The dems have no difficulty blatantly ignoring the disobedience. And of course, one must be very careful about pointing this out.

Why Object?

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Deceit, FOC, Lawyers and Representation, News media, Politally Correct, Psaki, Reporters, Socialists, Twitter by

A federal judge made a decision against Old Joe and his cohorts. No more can they meet and agree as to what speech to allow or block.

Now, why should they object…that is unless they are using the social media for limiting our free speech.

Now, let’s see. Isn’t it against the first amendment to limit our speech even if it is indirect?

I think it is. I think a federal judge just agreed with me.

Now. Just how is it that we are to be compensated for all the past damage caused by Old Joe and his socialist comrads.

More importantly, how do we keep keep the socialists from finding another way around the first and most important amendment.

It is not Just Trump

Some would have us believe that we need to put former President Trump in prison should he be convicted. I say it has long lasting effects, which we should be extremely careful.

First, the NY, NY trial is in a very democratic area. It amounts to a kangaroo court. It is why they want to try him there. It is why they want to try him in Washington DC. It determines the outcome before the end regardless of the evidence. So much for a trial of our peers.

Secondly, it’s not just Trump on trial but the entire Republican party. If he is convicted and sent to prison, it sends a signal to all republicans. I might explain what the message is but I don’t think it would serve any purpose. We all know what that message would be.

It would turn the US into a one party country and a third world country. No one would dare run against the dems as they would know that there was a good possibility of being tossed into prison. It would spell the end of the Republican party and the republic of the United States.

But, it is so much more than that. Just as friends of Bill managed to avoid prison, friends of Trump would be in fear of going to prison. Already, many of his associates have been convicted, though they did nothing wrong.

It’s time to put a stop to it right now. Indeed, it is time to put the real criminals in prison. You and I know that won’t happen. Even if Trump gets back in office, the crime families have gained too much power.

Now, one thing Trump, or any new republican president should do on day one, is to require the resignation of all top leadership: every person on the top floor of the FBI building, every officer in the military with more than one star, and all appointed positions in the justice department. He also needs to do a good cleaning of all the intelligence agencies, especially the CIA. I’m sure it will leave much of DC without leadership, but that will be far better than what they have now. More important, it will send a signal to all those agencies that no one is unreplaceable. It would also send a signal to the dems that they will have to start all over again in their efforts to take over the world.
