Watch, No Prison Time For Hunter

Posted in Uncategorized by

Remember, Hunter knows where all the skeletons are. He knows where all the bodies are buried. Behind the scenes, all the pressures are being applied. If it all fails, Old Joe will have to come through or Hunter will write a tell all book. When that happens, Old Joe will be but one of many to suffer.

How-some-ever, Hunter should pay the price. After all, it is the dems who have fought and are fighting for gun laws, such as the those that Hunter broke. Aren’t they trying to take guns away from drug users and mentally ill? Indeed, it is possible that Hunter might have used the gun while under the influence if he had kept it. It is the reason for the law.

If ANY LAW is not enforced, why have the law? if it is not enforced for Hunter, why for anyone? If Hunter is let off, others who are convicted will point the finger and ask, why do I go to prison and he got off Scott free? And they will have a point. They will be able to say he was not punished because of who he knows, especially should he be pardoned or sentence commuted.

One more thing. Hunter had a chance at making a deal and he didn’t. It sort of says, he still thinks he got away with it. He likely will. Old Joe said he did nothing wrong. Maybe its time he admit to Americans Hunter did do something wrong. Perhaps, now Old Joe will admit it to himself.

As an aside. Trump was convicted of a crime invented by the dems, by a dem prosecutor, with a highly biased dem judge, in a city of almost totally dems… and will likely be overturned. It might be overturned even before it reaches The Supreme Court.

Hunter, on the other hand was convicted of a well established law by political friendlies, that is to say, those in the jury likely were not republican. The only appeal likely will be to dear Ol Dad.

Let’s see if knowing the pres. will help him.

The Leadership of Pollsters?

Posted in Uncategorized by

There is an earth shaking decision to be made. Immediately, the order is made, “Ask the pollsters. And tell them hurry.”

Is it possible. Is it probable. Can it be that we are the nation being ruled by the pollsters. I guess, in a way, that is ruling by the people. That is to say, if the polls are fair and accurate.

Just how much is the poll being colored by the pollster. The choice of how the question is worded can make a 5 or maybe 10 points difference.

Of course, this is tongue & cheek. Still, I do wonder how many decisions are made based on polls. Consider the border. There was nothing on earth that would change the mind of Old Joe, or the dems for that matter. They are determined to increase their voter base.

Then, what? 5 months from the election, suddenly, Old Joe wants to send illegal aliens home.

Remember, nothing on earth could alter Joe’s mind. Well. Maybe that isn’t so. You see, 5 men with fancy brief cases and charts walk into the Oval Office and, instantly, Joe changed his mind.

Those 5 men, or was it 6. no one knows for sure. They must have been awfully powerful guys. They must have had some very convincing numbers, facts and figures.

Now, Old Joe is in a quandary. How does he keep the border open while blaming it on the Republicans. Then one of his brilliant yes men says, “I have an idea. We get that bill passed the Republicans shot down.”

Old Joe says, “That won’t work, will it. I mean, it didn’t work before.”

Another yes man jumps in. “We get the media to apply a lot of pressure. They paint them as obstructionist.”

And so it is, they march out the politicians and put them on the talk shows. Then a few weeks later, Old Joe has his visitors again.

Guess what. Suddenly Joe is talking really deporting illegal aliens. I mean, he’s not really going to do it. It will all be done with smoke and mirrors. All the while he deports them, he’ll be sneaking them in at night on big jets.

Well, so we see, the pollsters don’t really run the country, though sometimes it appears that way. That Old Joe, his puppetmasters are just too smart for those that do the polls.

For What Reason?

Posted in Uncategorized by

Thousands died because of the methods and procedures employed by Old Joe in Afghanistan. Are we supposed feel great because he had the right reason? Do you think it makes the surviving relatives feel better that Joe’s heart was in the right place? Does it make things 1 iota better to know that Joe really had the right motives?

I didn’t lose anyone remotely close to men becauseof that fiasco. Guess what, it doesn’t make me feel any better. It was a horrible mistake from beginning to end and I believe, for that reason, he deserves to be hung by his toes until he stops breathing. Unfortunately, he will have to wait to have that justice measured out to him. I can’t say for sure, but I suspect Hell already has a place with his name on it.

Nonetheless, I keep hearing that Benjamin Natenyahu is prolonging the war for political reasons. Let’s imagine that’s right. Does that make his decision any more right or wrong? More likely, it has nothing to do with it. If it’s right, then it is right regardless of reason.

I happen to believe that Old Joe’s reasons in Afghanistan were totally political. Is that what caused his plans to blow up in his face?

The fact of the matter is Old Joe is the primary reason the war between HAMAS and Israel has gone on as long as it has. It is because of the encouraging Joe keeps giving HAMAS. If Joe had kept his nose out of it all, the war would be over…a long time ago. There would have been far less destruction. There would have been far less death. But Joe don’t care. He hasn’t lost anyone he knew.

But, as long as we are going after people for doing the wrong thing for wrong reasons, it is abundantly clear Old Joe’s political gains are right at the top for his motivation. He doesn’t want to lose Michigan in the upcoming election.

Going back to one man I really look up to and respect. The enemy trying to destroy his nation and his people. Do you really want to believe folks here, thousands of miles from the problem, know any better or have any motive more pure than Primenister Natenyahu?

A Little Outside of My Expertise

Posted in Electric Automobiles by

I might be wrong and I likely am. It just seems to me that the auto engineers have bypassed the opportunity to rid electric cars of one of the weaknesses of cars, the differential. Ever since cars have made their entry on the scene they have had a weakness. Getting power from both power wheels and still allow them to turn at different speeds. It is why it is called a differential.

Many things have been done to resolve this problem with some success. Even so, at best it is at substantial cost and reliability. Positraction helps in situations where one of the power wheels may slip. Some of these possibilities include sand, ice or even loss of contact with the road.

As far as I know, all or most electric cars have one electric motor for each set of drive wheels. The 4 wheel drive cars use two motors, one for each set of wheels. At least this has some advantage. Power is delivered to the front and rear wheels separately which does permit maximum torque for front wheel and rear wheels independently. However, in this situation, there are two differentials, on each on the back and front wheels.

So, when they came up with electric cars, why one motor? Why not one motor for each wheel?

Well, as I said, it’s outside my knowledge. Still, it does make me wonder just how successful a car would be with two motors. I guess, a single motor failure might be a problem, but how often is that going to happen. Moreover, the car could be designed so that if one motor quit, the other one would too.

Then the question comes to mind, is the cost of two motors more than the cost of a differential. Also, the differential does add weight and reliability considerations.

The one thing I certainly have no understanding of, how would the car drive with two motors, with perhaps different torque to the wheels. Perhaps, tests would have to be made on the motors to get two matched motors. That in itself would add costs.

I don’t know. My wife is always telling me I think too much. Maybe I do.

The Solid South

Posted in Lawyers and Representation, Liberals, Politcal Opinion, Truth by

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.

Not in My Lifetime

Posted in Electric Automobiles, Gas vs Electric, Going Green by

The declaration has been made. It has been determinedgames. couple of short decades, maybe a tad more, cars made in the US will not have internal combustion engines. I would argue the point. In fact I have very vigorously. Can’t see how that will happen, but the more I argued the point the less people listened.

So, I have accepted the inevitable. In fact, I bought an electric car. For me, it is really working out well. Considering how little I drive, it is wonderful. About every 4th day, I plug it in and go quietly motoring right by all the gas stations, which brings me to the real object of this post, gas stations.

Can you foresee it, the gradual fading away of something that polkadoted our landscape since, oh, about 1905 or 1910, I guess. Some would have to remain for some gas powered vehicles: trucks, buses, police cars, ambulances, etc, etc, and so forth.

The proverbial gas station will fade, fade away. We can and will likely fight it. However, those ecologist do seem unstoppable.

This means the service station will need to change or go out of business. It makes me wonder what it will be like, though I’ll not ever see it in my lifetime. Oh, I will see a little change here and there. But just how things will be are decades away, maybe longer. To be sure, obstacles will be encountered. Problems will have to be solved.

The way I see it, the biggest problem is charge time. Mostly, it slows the long trip. Let’s say I want to go see the Grand Canyon. It’s around 1500 miles from here. If I have a car that has a 300 mile range, it means at least 5 stops to recharge, more likely 6. That does assume recharge stations are located at ideal spots along the way. Right now, that means each stop must be a minimum of 30 minutes. That does not count time waiting for a charging station. You see that family that left this area 2 minutes before me will get to that charging station before me. That means waiting 30 minutes for him to finish charging his car.

Now, let’s look at the converted recharge station. Instead of 10 pumps, it now has 10 rechargers. Instead of taking 5 minutes to refill a gas tank we’re looking at 30 minutes, six times longer to recharge the cars.

I guess we won’t have as much gas stations, but likely 5 or 6 times as many charging stations.

I suppose this problem might be somewhat resolved with a charging system that is a lot faster. That does, of course, leave those in the future with 2 more problems. Distribution of that much electricity without a big improvement to the grid. The second problem is generating that much electricity without making a bunch of greenhouse gasses.

Some People Just Can’t Think Beyond Their Nose

Posted in Uncategorized by

As the official objective observer of Memphis, I can’t help but think those guys who live north of me can’t seem to go a day without shooting themselves in the foot.

The city government seems to intentionally be driving residents and businesses out of town with taxes and substandard schools. It would seem they are also getting help in their endeavor by the criminal element.

Surely some have already left. Others are standing ready as soon as they are ready and able.

Then, just today, I see a story about people breaking into cars in FedEx parking lots.

Please, please let me explain, warn and caution those who occupy homes north of me. If the Memphis city government and the criminals of Memphis succeed in combining their efforts at driving FedEx out of Memphis….

Stop. Please stop and think just what will happen when FedEx pulls up the anchor, some other location will greatly benefit. Memphis will have a huge problem. People will be wanting to leave by the thousands but the value of their houses will plummet.

That wonderful beautiful home you just bought will become an anchor holding you in place because, guess what. No one will buy that house at half what you paid for it.

Nearly thirty thousand Memphians will either have to leave or find some other way of making a living. Those thirty thousand spend a lot of their earnings in Memphis and the surrounding area. Apartments would be vacated decreasing rental revenues. Sales of many businesses will plumet. When you consider many of those businesses are already on the brink of shutting down already, it might be the final straw. That, in turn will cause more job losses.

Let’s not overlook the big thing concerning the city. Sales tax will drop. Real estate revenues will take a huge hit. Conceivably, the snowball effect just might be the thought no one wants to think. Yet, they better, lest it become a reality, not just a nightmare.

Consider, please? Memphis has roughly 500 thousand residents. I would guess no more than a third bring home a paycheck, many from city and county. You simply cannot cut out 30 thousand of those checks without rocking city and county governments bunches.

Actually, it would like send tremors out into Desoto and Crittendon Counties too. Many FedEx employees live in Mississippi and Arkansas.

McDonald’s Error

Posted in Fast Food by

I noticed on the news is McDonald’s is making changes. I would guess they are having problems, which is no surprise to me. I mean when it takes 15 minutes, literally, to serve a barely warm Big Mac, they are headed for real problems. Marketing is important but it will only go so far.

The company broke into fast food by serving good tasting food fast. Now there are many “nice sit down” places that serve food faster. As a matter of fact, I just visited a good Mexican place that served me a good meal in less than the 15 minutes. It does make me ask, why should anyone go to McDonald’s when we can get a much better meal at not much more cost?

Personally, I have found when I am in a hurry, it’s hard to beat Subway. Unless they have an unusually long line, I’m usually eating within 5 or 6 minutes after entering the door. Chick-fil-A is fast too, but I usually have a long walk across the parking lot. I suppose it is a reasonable price for popularity.

At any rate, it’s sort of difficult for the McDonald’s employees to provide reasonably good service when they are so busy talking amongst themselves. Many-a-time, I have had to wait for the conversation to be completed before I could expect any attention.

Mostly, if people have to wait 15 minutes for less than hot food, McDonald’s will likely just fade away, regardless of any marketing methods.

As an aside, the same thing can be said of other fast food places too. I mean it is basic. People go to fast food places to get food fast.

A Win is Most Important, A Landslide Would be Far, Far More Good

Posted in Uncategorized by

Some folks really hate it when I butcher the English language like that but I have found it really grabs attention, be it for good or bad. Right now, If I may, I would really like the attention of anyone and everyone.

You see, if Trump wins by just a little, the dems will claim cheating. They might even try to bring back Russia, Russia, Russia. On the other hand, if Trump wins by 5%, better yet 10%, it will send a message to the dems that will shake them to their ankles, maybe their toes.

For sure, it will effect government before Trump is able to do a thing. You think maybe the FBI and or the the intelligence community will take note that, just maybe the “Orange” man is coming to clean house. There might even be a few packing bags and running to liberal Canada. The thought of ending up in prison will not seem so great to them.

It is also important to build a big advantage in both houses, especially the Senate. Not only would it be a signal to the dems but the RINOs as well. They might actually start falling in line when it comes to building a great big wall. I have no hopes, but it would also be nice if they put armed National Guard troops on the border too. That would be a signal to cartels as well as those who would like to join us illegally.

Another slight hope I would have is that illegally entering the US will henceforth be a serious felony rather than a slap on the wrist. Before sending the illegal alien home, put him in prison for a year to remember us by. The irony might be he will live better in one of our prisons than in his home country.

Actually, some of those illegally crossing the border, likely came from a prison. Just that much more of a reason to send him back.

Perhaps the biggest advantage to seeing Trump back in the White House, the fact the the fentenyl poisoning will drop abruptly. And of course, the cost of oil will fall while the US earnings from oil will climb days, maybe weeks before Trump enters the Oval Office.

Which is Worse?

Posted in Uncategorized by

Voting Democrat is a disaster. Voting Republican can be almost as bad. So, what are we to do?

  1. Never ever vote democrat. It will encourage them, which is the last thing we need.
  2. Mostly vote Republican. There are a few exceptions. When they are democrats who call themselves Republican just to win, write your own name in. It will send the winner of the contest a message regardless of their party. If the republican loses, no big thing. Even if the rino wins, we lose.
  3. Never send money to the republican party. Send it to candidates that you like instead, even if he does not represent you. It sends a message to your representative as well as the other. Also, it will help to reshape the Republican party. The party supposedly ran as hard on border control but it wasn’t until Trump got in there before anything happened. Of all the so-called Republicans running against Trump, only 2 ran on border control. That should tell you something about the rino branch of the Republican party.
  4. In the last senator primary, I donated to a contestant of the incumbent as well as voted for the challenger. Sen. Wicker got the message I am sure. He was almost forced into a runoff. A good Republican Senator should not have to fight for his reelection in Mississippi that hard. I would have preferred Wicker lost or at least was forced into a runoff. However, at least he and his friends received a message. The question now is, will he pay any attention to it.
  5. Organize. I wish I could, but there are 3 reasons I can’t right now. The thing is, politicians of both parties pay attention to organizations far more than individuals. You really want to get the attention of that rino, speak for a thousand or two thousand. You might not change minds, but it will make them listen. Nothing will change anything until they start listening.
