Then What?

Posted in Uncategorized by

The question comes to mind when you ask one more plausible question. What if a reporter asks just the right question? I don’t know what that question might be, but it just might happen that a reporter asks Kamala just the right question that freezes her as the deer with its eyes caught in the headlights. Even if you haven’t seen it, you have heard of it. The deer might could get away but it doesn’t know which way to go.

Just as with the deer, Kamala freezes and has no idea how to reply to the question. It is a new question, one which she has never been programed to reply. Then, the next day, the polls drop 5 or maybe 6 points. The dems would panic. The question then becomes for them. “THEN WHAT?”

It really is NOT beyond the realm of probability. Actually, it is why they are keeping her in the basement. The dems know it is highly probable if she has. oh,4 or 5 questions a day the reporter will have just the right question. It does take just once, you know. And you know Kamala is very good at inserting her foot in her mouth. On the other hand, whatever the question is might make her panic, worse than the wrong reply. The cameras catch the expression on Kamala’s face and suddenly, the whole world realize Kamala is not presidential material.

It does make me speculate. Maybe, just maybe, with the right encouragement, she would decide to pull out of the election as did Old Joe. Then, who would they replace her with? I don’t know. Maybe the one who is now her running mate. I give up. You tell me.

One thing we know. The dems would not be above another musical chairs move, vote or not. They already proved they are willing and able.

Well, there is one more question that would come to mind. Who would be willing to be thrown in the spotlight under those conditions?

New Tech, Old Tech

Considering the attempted assassination, you may consider me a little confused. In this day and age of relatively inexpensive drones, why in the world did they not have a dozen or so in the air around that golf course. It would be nice if one spotted the man with the gun. The big thing is, the gunman would have seen the drones and likely would have turned tail and run a long time before he had a chance to use the gun.

Moreover, why didn’t they have a few men with dogs walk the perimeter of the golf course, paying particular attention to to the wooded area. I mean, don’t they train the agents to pay particular attention to places that make good hiding areas. It would not have taken a sharp eye. The dogs have the equipment needed to smell them out. Moreover, even if they didn’t sell out the man, if the dogs got close, it would likely be enough to flush the man out. If they got a hundred yards away, he would have likely went running… at which point the drones would have been able to follow him. That is, if the dogs didn’t run him down first.

They keep talking about budget restrictions. How much would the cost be fort half a dozen drones and four men with dogs. Moreover, it is not a requirement that all the drones be for observation. It would not cost much to have a dozen “dummy” drones buzzing the area just for appearances.

Oddly, Some People Believe It

It’s the guns

It’s the guns

It’s the guns

We have to eliminate all guns every time someone gets shot.

It’s the target. it’s the target as soon as they start shooting at Pres. Trump.

Strange as that might seem, as crazy as that sounds, some people believe that line of reasoning, which is promoted by the dems.

It would seem, according to the dems, it is a matter of just whom the target might be. My guess is that if someone started shooting at me, it would be my fault as well.

Was the thought of shooting at Trump originated with the dems? I guess not. On the other hand, much of what they say, encourages it. There have been physical assaults on many republicans and the dems have made it clear it is okay with them, though they might pretend otherwise. They even encourage it in their speeches. Remember, Sen. Rand Paul was assaulted by his neighbor while mowing his lawn and again while walking along the the roads of D.C. Remember those that would have assaulted the Supreme Court justices if they could have. This, of course, while the Justice Department refused them protection. I guess the justices, too are at fault for the attempted assaults on them.

It’s not because of a warped since of justice, though as it would seem so. It just is that some will believe anything the dems say. After all, the dems, the media, and the social media have all spread the word, the orange man is Hitler. How much better would be the world without Hitler. So, by way of twisted reasoning, the dems are saying the world would be better off without the orange man. Hence, by the twisted logic, if someone killed Trump, the would would be far better off. Those that have tried might even be looking at themselves as heroes. On the other hand, there are dems that would agree with them,

Revisiting My Time As a Civil Engineer

Posted in Uncategorized by

Honest, I never was a civil engineer. Never got past my first year of college. However, there was a prompt that I replied to in which I pretended to be an engineer for a short time. One of my suggestions was to do away with two way streets. One way streets have a lot of advantages.

As you could tell by my post, I would not make much of a city planner. Nonetheless, I did think of a few more advantages to one way streets. However, let me review the advantages I already mentioned.

Left and right turns would equally difficult. No one would ever need to wait for apposing traffic. Going into and out of businesses would be far easier, especially leaving a business onto a 3 or 4 lane road. Because of no turns against apposing traffic, there would be no need for left turn signals. Currently, much of the time shared in the intersection is reserved for left turns, north, south as well as east west. Though traffic must wait for all left turns.

Now for a couple of things I just thought of. The head on collision would almost totally be eliminated. I say almost, because there are cities like Memphis where some drivers would drive the wrong way. And, of course, head on collisions are usually the most deadly because of the relative speed. Two cars hitting each other at 40, have a relative speed of 80.

The U-turn would be unnecessary. 2 left or 2 right turns would serve the same purpose and would be far safer, though, I must admit, the driver would have to travel one more block. Some might not want to admit it, but having to look into headlights is tiring, and maybe even harmful. With one way streets, it would be very rare to have to look into headlights. Incidentally, it would also improve vision, especially at dusk.

As a little aside, considering the number of miles driven each day, there are very few accidents. Mostly, it is when a person disobeys a law either by accident or intentionally. Possibly, it is because of impatience or being in a hurry. I witnessed a few of the intentional ones, mostly running red lights. In Memphis it used to be against the law to turn right on a red light except where posted. They changed the law to read that you can make a right turn when safe and only after coming to a complete stop. It would seem there are many who just go barreling on through as if the light is not there. It makes me wish they never changed the law. It doesn’t hurt to wait a while. It can be far worse without the without the wait.

Kind of a sudden afterthought. It might after result in less out of “out of court settlements” too.

Early Voting

Posted in Uncategorized by

The Democrats would have you believe that they are protectors of democracy. It is a ruse. They don’t want democracy at all. They want power and if you don’t hand it to them them they will take it, like it or not.

During the last presidential election, fraud or not. they did not follow the law, and they admitted it. They are brash in their efforts, doing the unlawful right out in plain sight.

Perhaps one place they cheat is in early voting. While early voting itself has been made legal, by the dems, it makes illegal voting easy.

I’m not going to try to explain it. If you don’t already know, no one ever will convince you. Mostly, it is a matter of willful ignorance. The truth is that it needs no explanation. It is casual to the most obvious observer.

Nonetheless, there is one thing I will explain that cannot be denied. If you decide to pull that lever early, figuratively, you can’t change your mind. If the person you voted for does something atrocious, sorry. You will not be able to reverse your decision. It is not only a matter of knowing who you want to vote for. It is also a matter of the person you vote for remains the person you want.

It is far better that to wait until voting day. Make that candidate work for your vote all the way till the end.

Though they did not write it into the Constitution, It is clear that it was the way it was intended.

On the other hand, the founders likely figured, if we ever started coming up with early voting, there would be nothing they could do to protect us from ourselves. Perhaps, just maybe they were right.

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.

Value of Life, Lack of Punishment and Drugs

Posted in Uncategorized by

Channel 3 here in Memphis is performing a study…about guns and shootings. I guess they are getting tired of doing reports on daily shootings, many resulting in deaths.

As with most, they do seem to want to put the blame on the gun. They are ignoring the obvious. I think they want to. I don’t need to do a study. In essence, I already have. It was not my plan but I have eyes in my head and I have ears. I have noticed at least three things that have contributed greatly to the shootings.

First, the most obvious. No teaches the important things nowadays. As a result, the youth have little respect for life. After all, they learn in school that the only difference between a person and the ape is a few genes. Human life is never taught as being any different than any other animal. We are only different because of the chance, for a simple coincidence. Therefore, why give human life any special consideration?

Second, they have nothing to lose. Mostly, they won’t be caught. If they are caught, they likely won’t pay much of price, even if convicted.

Finally, drugs. If those news experts want to do a study, let them do a study. When we look at the stats, we know how many deaths by shooting. We know how many use and sell illicit drugs. I have yet to see a study of the relationship between the two. How many robberies were spawned from efforts to get the money to buy drugs? How many robberies were by people robbing to get the money to buy drugs? How many robberies and break ins were by people seeking drugs? We don’t know. No one has done any studies.

How many killings are by drug dealers for who knows what. We don’t know. We track murders. We track drug crimes. No one studies how many murders are because of drugs. We don’t know. The stats, to the best of my knowledge, are not kept. My best guess is half. I have had conversations with many in law enforcement and they all agree, every one I asked.

However, no one keeps the formal stats. You can’t just look it up. The only people aware are those of us who keep our eyes open and our ears alert. Those that help enforce the law see it, but no one asks them. Those that make the laws seem to want to divert their eyes from the drugs.

Take note 58,220 soldiers died in Vietnam in almost 20 years. In one year, we are currently losing over 100,000 lives to overdoses in the US. That is almost twice our soldiers lost in Vietnam. The loss by guns is minuscule by comparison. The gun problem might could be partially resolved in years. The drug problem can be cut to half by doing one thing, no more illegal immigration. We know that, because when Trump cut the illegal immigration, a side affect was that deaths by drugs dropped to about 30 to 40 thousand. Trump’s border policy likely save 60 thousand x 3 years =180 thousand lives, mostly from our youth. If Trump had been reelected, we would have saved an additional 200 thousand, at least. Likely more. How many have we lost to shootings? Look it up. It’s not close.

And yet, the media is addressing the “gun problem.”

Then again. As that hero of the socialists put it, It’s nothing but statistics. It kind of works out that way. Anything past a thousand lives are numbers, statistics to be printed and soon forgotten.

Truth Be Told

Posted in Uncategorized by

I said I got it wrong and I did. Old Joe waited until Sunday to step out of the way for 2024. I said Friday late afternoon. I don’t know how I missed that but I did.

However, Truth be told, I am personally sure Old Joe already had decided to give up, probably Wednesday or Thursday. However, there was a lot of “horse trading going on” before the announcement could be made. Let’s face it, before giving in, he had to make sure he and his clan would not go to prison. I am sure there were other decisions to be made too, things we are not privy to.

However, Kamala does have a huge problem on her hands… finding a running mate. My guess is, whoever agrees to do it will be committing political suicide.

If she runs and loses, the running mate will never again run for anything. If she runs and wins, she will mess things up so badly, the VP will never again run for anything.

Finally, both Kamala and her running mate will have a stench attached to them permanently, especially Harris. She and the entire democrat party knew of Biden’s mental problems and swore they didn’t. Moreover, whoever takes over in January will face a nation in distress. Biden has done his best to destroy it, especially the border. It will take a man like Trump to get it straightened out. Kamala hasn’t a clue. She will just become another puppet of the dems as Old Joe was.

One question I leave y’ll with. Was anyone really surprised? Was anyone really deceived?

Okay. Two questions. You get the point. No surprises here.

Finally, let me make one more thing clear. Old Joe is not actually making the decision. It is being made by the leadership of the Democrat Party. As they say, he was made to see the handwriting on the wall.

Fits Like a Glove

Posted in Uncategorized by

We call it a Trump movement. In reality, the movement was there a long time ago. It would appear Trump just sort of stepped into it. I don’t believe it was by accident. He saw a large group of people getting tired of overtaxing, over spending and an open border. Trump had a lot of competition. Of his competition, only one other wanted to close the border. The rest were in favor of keeping it as it was. The fact is, most of the Republican leadership like an open border. They like the cheap labor.

Those who wanted a closed border of both parties, had but two choices for president, Trump or Cruz. The rest, Republican or Democrat, very much prefer an open border, but for radically different reasons The fact that Trump wanted to decrease the taxes and spending was a big plus. The fact that he wanted to increase drilling for oil, was a big plus. On top of that, he more than cut the drug problems in half. Finally, to everyone’s surprise, he knew how to deal with the foreign leaders as well. There were many skirmishes all over the world. Before Trump left office, all fighting ceased. When Old Joe stepped in behind the oval desk, the border opened, the taxes went up, the oil price went up, and the shooting started and people began dying. Indeed over 100 thousand people a year are dying from drugs. People are now dying from real shooting wars and American security is in danger from without and within.

Now, the dems are in disarray. They always knew Old Joe was not fit for the office. Now every knows. Well, actually they all knew before but they all decided to close their eyes and cover them with one hand and voted for Old Joe with the other. Why? Because they did not like the way Orange Man talked, regardless of the excellent job he was doing.

I think I can safely say that Old Joe is not a perfect fit. In fact, that round peg will never make it into that square hole no matter how big that sledge hammer is. Right now, I guess the dems are finally admitting what they always knew.

The Inevitable Results of a Godless People

Posted in Abuse of Power, Christian values, Crime, Elections, News media, Politcal Opinion, Religion, Salvation, School Shootings, The Clintons by

Most of those who regularly read my posts know that I am not a person who likes surveys. However, I would like one survey made of one question. I would like it asked of all criminals immediately after they are convicted. The one simple question, “Do you believe in God?”

I wonder how many would say, “Yes,” but I don’t wonder much. I would guess you would go through a month or two before you would find so much as one.

And then, people are puzzled over why the country is full of liars, thieves, child and wife beaters, and murderers. If only the parents would teach their children about God. If only they would take their children to church. If only our schools teach one hour about the Bible a week.

Don’t misunderstand me. Some very bad people come out of churches; some are even the leaders of the church. Moreover, I’m not sure but I got the impression that Al Capone and his like went to church on Sunday; regularly went to confession and had absolutely no respect for the law.

However, we do need that survey. I wonder if they would permit me to do it. More important, I wonder if they would permit me to publish it. I don’t think too many would like the outcome.

The fact of the matter is, the nation that is Godless will inevitably soon be lawless as well. Indeed, today we are a Godless and lawless society today. Truly, guns don’t kill people, but rather Godless people kill people, not the law biding Christians. To be sure, you can include the Godless politicians who are in favor of murdering the unborn, even to the point they kill the child just before birth. Why should anyone wonder when even our doctors practice murder? Why should anyone be surprised when the Ten Commandments are no longer permitted while homosexuality is permitted and and encouraged?

Where nothing is morally wrong, all is permitted, including murder.
