What Are the Goals

Posted in Uncategorized by

When Pete Hegseth again brought up the point of women serving in combat, the left went nuts again. As for me, it is a matter of what our goals are. Do we want to provide equity for women in the armed services, or do we want a military that is best able to defend us.

I have heard it before and again. However, I was in the Marines. I know. In case after case, allowances must be made for women. I am simply not going to go into details. It is causal to the most obvious observer. If women are put into combat positions, it will weaken the military. However, if it is really your goal to see to it that the women get their chance at carrying forty pound mortars, fine, have at it. (just out of curiosity, how many women do you know who can carry a 40 pound mortar as well as a fifty pound pack more than feet.)

My best suggestion for you is the following. Train the women in separate outfits. Let them compete to see if they can deal with the problems of war as well as the men. It would have a secondary advantage. If the men were all killed, then the women would not only be desperate, but they would also have the training. It would serve as something of a backup for plan A.

The fact of the matter is, though, the outfits that are totally women would not be able to fight as well. Worse, you mix the women in with the men, neither will the men.

However, if you are going to try to tell me that a woman is going to be able carry her weapon and ammo as well as strap a fifty pound pack on her back and keep up with the men running up and down hills, or through 3 foot deep swamps, it is simply not going to happen.

Then again, if it is your goal to put women in combat, no matter what, fine. The men will help pick up the extra weight, which will certainly slow them down.

Listening and Talking

Posted in Uncategorized by

In a general since, people have been suggesting the reason the dems lost the presidency as well as so many other races is because they didn’t listen to the voters. Certainly, I must agree with them, but it doesn’t stop there.

To a major degree they didn’t even speak to the voters. Kamala especially refused to say anything that she would do. Then on the other hand, had she said what she planned to do, I suspect it would come out even worse for it.

Also, they came out with instructions. They told the Blacks and the Hispanic that they better vote democrat. They told the union workers to vote democrat. Moreover, they were trying to tell everyone what to think, what to send in messages and such. They said, you better watch what you say or we will come after you.

Maybe Black people were tired of voting democrat and yet being treated as step-children. Maybe the union people were tire of voting democrat and seeing all their high paying jobs find their way into Mexico & China. Maybe they were starting to say among themselves we don’t need that anymore.

On a somewhat related note: Many say that Kamala would have done much better had she had 150 days to run her campaign. Actually, it was quite the opposite. Every day of the campaign Kamala’s numbers went down. Had she had 50 more days, she would have done far worse. It would have given the voters more time to realize just how bad of a president she would make. Where this would be most notable would have been in early in voting. Had people who voted early the first chance the got, they would have had a better look at Kamala. They might have even voted for Trump.

On the other hand, if it was 50 days less, Kamala might have benefited from not being so well known.

Stupid Doesn’t Get It

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Border wall, Kamala by

Just how many times have you seen a baseball player do something and you ask, “Why did he do a stupid thing like that?”

I once heard a coach on TV say that when he looked for players, he said that we looked for speed. Hitting, catching, and throwing we can teach. Fast is not learned.” Before I heard him say that, I never understood why I never became a famous baseball player. Now I know.

Regardless of my shortcomings, over the years, I have leaned that another thing is needed to be a good baseball player, intelligence. Stupid doesn’t get it. When the player throws to first when he should have thrown to second, it is learned, but not totally. For sure, some players pick it up on the fly very well. Even so, occasionally, even the pros do things that are really stupid. After it’s all over, they will usually be the first to admit it.

The thing is, regardless of the talent, regardless of the speed, when a player continually does stupid things, the coach starts looking elsewhere. And here’s something else. The same thing is true of football, basketball, golf and tennis. Indeed, it is, to some degree true of most every sport.

You ever notice, quarterbacks have a tendency to be the most intelligent guys on the gridiron? I’m sure no one had to tell you. You likely figured it out by yourself. On the other hand, besides their speed and skill, the linebackers and and safeties are likely pretty smart too. Otherwise, they are likely to hear if from their coach on occasion, “Why did you do a stupid thing like that?” Actually, I suspect my remark cleans it up some.

Most sports have more than physical skills, but also strategies. Of course, from time to time, occasionally, someone slips up and they realize they have been out strategized. I know. I’ve been there. I have found myself wishing I didn’t do the stupid thing.

This is not restricted to sorts. Ask the lawyers. They’ll tell you. Most that have been at it a while have been taught a lesson or two in the courtroom. Ask the businessmen. They know it. Yup. They made a mistake or two. Ask the politicians. I have seen some of those first hand. I am sure that all of them wish they could have taken a step or two back. I’m sure you’ve seen it.

However, when a person takes the leadership of a nation in his hands, it gets serious. Old Joe opened the border. Now Kamala is stuck trying to explain it. Try is the operable word because she can’t. She won’t even try. She realizes any attempt will just make it worse. The fact is, it was one of Old Joe’s stupid things and she knows it.

Old Joe permitted, even took part in driving the prices of oil up. I don’t care what the reason. However, it allowed the Russians and the Iranians to gain great financial gains and power. It allowed them to finance the HAMAS which allowed them to attack Israel. That was stupid. It allowed Russia to attack Ukraine. I believe that most of the Israelis and Ukrainians will say that was a stupid move by Old Joe.

Now my question. After 4 years of stupid, do we really want another 4 years of it? As far as I am concerned, stupid doesn’t get it. I’m ready for someone to take over who actually knows what is going on. I mean, we’re not playing games here. We are talking thousands of lives already lost under Old Joe. It means more lives lost by Kamala, who said she’d not change a thing.

Friend or Foe

Posted in Uncategorized by

You notice the pattern? Whenever the the dems want to specify a person as a foe, they call him a Nazi, a Hitler, or some other German foe. It is the way they find convenient for dehumanizing the enemy. Trump is just the last of a list of people that they have decided make into the enemy. The first one I know of was the first Bush, the one that was a WWII hero. He hardly fits the bill of a Nazi. Since then, as far as I know, all the Republican nominees have been given the tag, which none of them deserved. Certainly Trump does not deserve the term. The fact of the matter is, if you look up the term Nazi, you will find that it is for a type of socialists. You know, where the government owns everything and runs all business.

Sort of sounds like communism, doesn’t it. It should. They are very close of kin. The differences are minute. However, the big difference is that the head of the Nazis was Hitler. Since, then, there have been others who have tried to take control of the Nazis, though no one has ever really managed to gain control as Hitler did.

During the time that Hitler was coming to power, the communists had already established themselves in Russia and they were spreading their tentacles on into Europe and somewhat into the US. You see, as with the Nazis, the communists sought power.

Hitler interrupted their process. He virtually destroyed the communists power in Europe. Being power hungry as socialists are, they started trying to expand their empire, throughout Europe and into England. On the other hand, there are many who believe that the communists had made inroads into the US. Many believed; and even accused President Roosevelt as being communist. I don’t guess we will ever know for sure, but he certainly helped them gain power in this country as well as aided them gain control of Russia.

The facts I’ve presented are undeniable. Argue them as you want, but if you go to the older history books, you will find them true.

So, When the second world war broke out, we had a socialist government in England, Germany and the US, as well as Russia. However, the Russians were called communists, the British they called socialists and and in the US, we called them Democrats. Also, you notice that the US did not get into the war until after Germany attacked Russia.

Deny it as you like, but, during the presidency of Roosevelt, the socialists, indeed the communists made more strides into control of our schools and government than ever before. Moreover, those strides became ingrained and there was no removing them.

I could go on and on. I do have the information and I can provide the proof. However, it has become something of a friend or foe thing. Whenever a socialists is in the Whitehouse, then he is considered a friend. Whenever a Republican is in the Whitehouse, he is considered a foe by the dems and the news media. Moreover, the first time a republican digs in and refused to give the communists their way, then the names come out instantly, Nazi, Hitler and so forth. “Why can’t those Republican compromise a little?” It has become a habit. Nazis are socialists. Trump is a capitalist, not a Nazi, not a socialists.

The way they figure it, anyone that isn’t a socialists is Nazi, which just isn’t so. Trump is neither a Nazi nor a foe. He is a friend who will make things better, that is if the socialists would stop trying to put him in prison.

Oh, and by the way, I noticed, they never do call Trump a communists or a socialists. That would be associating him with their friends, their heroes like Lenin and Stalin. No matter what else, you will never hear a dem degrade the their two heroes.

On Goodman Road, the Limit is 45 in Most of Southaven

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Build the Wall!, Cheating, Communist Takover, Crazy Nuts, Deceit, Elections, FOC, Immigration, Kamala Harris by

My question is, why do most people remain close to or below that speed. Well, I know one reason I do. I know that if I go faster, one of those fine law enforcement officers will pull me over, we will have a short nice conversation, and give me a little piece of paper. If I exceed 45 by too much, he just might take me out of my car and put the cuffs on me and rightfully so.

I won’t like it. I would much prefer to drive at 55. I would much prefer that those wonderful peace officers would just look the other way. However, I do understand that there is a point to it. I might think I can drive safely at 55. However, the authorities have decided to set the limit at 45.

Even then, if I drive at 45 when I should slow to 30, that nice policeman might still pull me over. Yeah. There always around to spoil things aren’t they.

Now, just for a moment, let’s imagine that we decided to do as the dems suggested and we defunded the police. There would no longer be anyone around to stop me. So, law or not, I would be able to drive at 55. Others might do 60. Things could get dangerous, quickly.

It is why they made the laws in the first place and it is why they gave officers the authority to enforce them. It is as I have said many times before, a law that is not enforced is useless. It is worse than no law at all.

Oddly, most people know all this, though they like to pretend they don’t.

For instance, it is illegal for illegal aliens to vote. Yet there is no mechanism to enforce this law in many democrat states. They do not need to produce any form of ID. They are encouraged to register to vote when they get a driver’s license and they are encouraged to get driver’s license, without proof of citizenship. I dare say, in many states, their law enforcement is told to look the other way. If a policeman were to arrest an alien for voting, he’d likely get his hand slapped, figuratively of course. Indeed the office might be asked, “What did you do that for?” Then he’d be told, “Don’t do that!”

And that is how illegal aliens vote. That is how they are encouraged to vote. The law by itself, will never stop the law breaker. It requires many means of law enforcement.

Strange how most of the dems try to make us ignore that part of it.

The Truth Is In the Lies

Posted in Uncategorized by

As the people went in to rescue and provide supplies to the folks in Georgia and the Carolinas, the accusations flew this way and that. They couldn’t all be telling the truth as they were contrary to the reports of FEMA.

I have already said which side I believe. It was based on the history of the years of lies told by the dems. I mean, I couldn’t believe what they said before. Why in the world should I believe them now.

Alright. Let’s just say for the sake of argument, I don’t know who is telling the truth. Let us say I don’t know for a fact that it took a week for the gov to do one thing to help out.

And so it was I watched the news on CBS last night. They were interviewing an official, a really high up guy in FEMA. The guy from FEMA rebuked the so-called lies told by those that actually did go in and rescued the folks and flew supplies in. The interviewer, who actually didn’t interview, but was busy helping the guy from FEMA disparage the real heroes.

After close to 5 minutes of their taking turns running down the brave and selfless folks who really helped, the interviewer asked, “So how do the victims request your help.”

Very calmly, very matter of fact, the official gave out the web page info where they could ask for help. And in that, he has exposed the lie. You see, the victims, the large majority of the real victims have no access to power, let alone the internet. Don’t you think it would be far better if they sent people into the area and looked for victims, sort of like the real heroes did. I never heard of any of them put up web sites for the victims, only in and effort to get others to help.

Me. I am inclined to believe the truth. While Old Joe sat on the beach, Trump was spending his own money, using his his own resources to provide real help, that is as much as he could. While Kamala was seeking campaign funds in California, helicopter pilots were using their own helicopters and paying for their own fuel to move supplies in that they paid for out of their own pockets and flying victims out of danger. While FEMA was thinking about it, hundreds of people were busy trying to mobilize people, asking for help.

They say, in the event of disaster, we should be able to self sustain for at least 3 days. Newsbreak, folks. It was a week before FEMA had anyone on site. It was almost 2 weeks before orders were made for the military to help, though there were several bases, so-to-speak, right over the hill.

And of course, if the victims are going to seek help from any of FEMA, they must first find a working computer and somehow hook it up to the internet. Now, why in the world didn’t all those who raced in there think of that. It would have been much faster and it wouldn’t have cost nearly as much.

Think about it, If they those heroes were going to lie, why would they spend their fortunes in doing it? On the other hand, it didn’t cost the officials of FEMA a penny to spread their falsehoods.

,Which We Knew Before

Posted in Uncategorized by

When Kamala was running against Old Joe, quickly the nation decided that Kamala was far worse than Joe. She never even truly got a start. The Kamala became VP. Then the dems decided that Old Joe wasn’t going to win. So, in panic, they put Kamala in there. Who knows if that is even legal, let alone right.

Now, they have started letting Kamala out of the basement. She is permitted to speak. And now that she is speaking again, we know that which we knew before. Kamala is worse than Joe and it would appear she is out to prove it again.

Their only hope now of winning is simple. Destroy the orange man some how some way. Did you happen to notice that all of a sudden, the attacks on Trump have increased quickly and drastically. Did you notice the new book released in time to effect the election, but not soon enough to allow Trump to counter it.

They, the dems, started the ide of early voting. They knew it would give them the 4 or 5 points they needed to win the elections. Now, maybe they are wishing they could stop it. With all the early voting, they have even less time to convince the nation that that Trump is a monster.

The Battle of Redefinitions

Posted in Uncategorized by

You are welcome to look it up. US title 8 code 1101 defines an alien as a person who is not a citizen of the the united states. By inference, a person who is an alien and is in the US illegally is an illegal alien. However, the dems define them as immigrants.

By simply changing the definition from alien to immigrant their argument is half won??? Their logic, immigrants are good, even if aliens are bad. Ironically, the term alien is used to define immigrant. That is to say, an immigrant is also an alien. Sorry dems. aliens who are illegal immigrate are still aliens who are in the US illegally… hence, illegal alien.

As the bard said, the rose is still the rose, even if called a flower. Regardless of any of the above, the person who is not a citizen in this country illegally is still an illegal alien.

On the other hand, the unborn child in a short time is a son or daughter. He is someone’s niece or nephew. When you look at that for three or four years he or she is your son or daughter, can you really imagine taking your three year old son’s life, only three years earlier.

The dems call it abortion. Regardless, it is a death.

When soldiers go into battle, they prefer to call the enemy anything but human. However, they are still human. This was never more aptly illustrated when they stopped the first world war long enough to celebrate Christmas, enemies all. For just about a day, they were humans were on both sides of that battle front. Then, suddenly they were the no good enemy again.

Redefinitions are dangerous. We need to see babies for what they are. On the other hand, we need to see an illegal aliens for what they are. When we don’t, we are very apt to make horrible irreversible decisions.

Decide what you will, but don’t try call wrong right (or right wrong) by redefining it.

The Release of Jack Smith’s Brief

Posted in Uncategorized by

It was not appropriate. First, what happens in a grand jury is secret. It is never supposed to be released unless it is the result of a grand jury investigation. There is a reason for this. In general, the accused never has a chance to defend itself, although the brief is often accepted as accurate fact. It is so to speak, only one side of the story. People who are accused by a grand jury are frequently found innocent. Indeed, once the other side of the story is heard, the case is frequently dropped before getting to court.

Schiff said it was appropriate to release the brief. Then again, he has a record of saying that there was collusion between Trump and Russia and he had proof of it. We now know he never had proof. When asked to produce it, he didn’t. I assure you, he hates Trump so much that if he had the proof, he would have produced it and he didn’t. because the proof was that there was never collusion. I wouldn’t believe the man if he was telling me the time of day. When a person has a long record of lying, we can only assume that when he speaks, he is likely lying.

Consider, someone says that you held up a bank and it went before a grand jury. You would likely never know it. If the grand jury is acting properly, they look at the evidence and see you did not hold up the bank and return a “no bill.” As a result, your life is never interrupted and your good name is not soiled. That is the way a grand jury is supposed to work.

Those on the grand jury are sworn to secrecy, which prevents the prosecutor or anyone on the grand jury from ruining your reputation. Now, that grand jury accusations are in public and Trump was never given the chance to build a defense. It is not the way our justice system is supposed to work. It is not the way you’d want it used on you. At the very least, it should have been accompanied with a statement that it is only an accusation that has yet to be proved.

Moreover, and more important, those that have heard or read the brief should realize that any and all all the statements in the brief have yet to be proved and they should not be accredited as fact.

Finally, any and all statements made by anyone based on that brief should not be treated as fact until, if and when they are proved. Hence, in the news media who use the brief as fact should be utterly disregarded as a legitimate source of reliable news.

It’s Not for Me to Say

Posted in Uncategorized by

A number of times, I have complained about people outside of Mississippi telling us how to run our state. When people who lived in Tennessee keep telling Desoto County that we want gambling casinos, I complained. I wasn’t the only one. We voted them out. They had to go down to Tunica to build their casinos. Incidentally, those that originally built casinos went out of business, I guess in a year or two. The big casino companies moved in and put them out of business. One of the big promises was that the big money from outside of the mid-south would build here. Glad we voted it down for sure now.

The fact of the matter is, the way I feel about it, they had no business using millions of dollars in campaigning here when they lived there. To be sure, it is legal. I see no way of making a law against it. However, it keeps getting more common and more difficult to stop.

I noticed there are ads on the radio on 600 WREC, fighting to keep casinos out. I have no idea who is behind trying to put casinos in, and it is none of my business. People living in Arkansas are running the ads and I feel for them. People with money have the power and they decide it is okay to use it anywhere they want to.

Truth be known, it is likely someone(s) in Tennessee trying to get casinos in Arkansas and the folks in Arkansas don’t like it.

Again, it’s not my fight. I have no business fighting for or against gambling in Arkansas. Then again, those in Tennessee have no business telling those in Arkansas what they want either. It is not right for them to try.

Incidentally, there was one time a talk show host came out against a republican running for governor. It double upset me cause it was not his business. Moreover, the republican lost and we were stuck with one of the worst governors we had in modern times for four years. The talk show host did not have to put up with the dumb dem governor. We did.

I think it is a good idea for us to remember that those state lines are there and we should respect them.
