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.

Let’s Look at one of the Dem’s Biggest Problems

Posted in Uncategorized by

Let’s see. Within months of Old Joe taking up his position behind the desk in the Oval Office, he assigned Kamala the problem of the southern border. I know. Some say she was giving the title of border tzar. Kamala and her cohorts are fighting with their last gasp of air to avoid the term. It doesn’t matter. And you know what that great philosopher, Murphy, said, “If it doesn’t matter, then it doesn’t matter.”

The fact of the matter is, that she was given the task and she failed at it. Well, actually, she was supposed to fail. Old Joe did not want the border fixed. Indeed, it was part of his campaign promise. Everyone remembers that, right? I mean most everyone, can remember back that far, right. I mean, I am almost 77 and I remember it. I’m the one who cannot remember why I went into a room and I can remember it all.

Supposedly, she went down south the fix it. The problem is that when she reached the border, she just kept going. She ended up in South America somewhere. You remember that, don’t you? You don’t need the news media to remember that.

Realizing her mistake she went to the southern border. This time she stopped a little short. I don’t know how many others noticed it, but the city in which she stopped, isn’t where the real problem was. You might say she was doing her best to avoid the problem. When confronted by the press, yeah, that’s when she said she hadn’t been to Europe either. Let me see. I think that was when she let out with one of those irritating cackles.

Now, when she is confronted with these facts, she says, that she was never appointed to border tsar. That would have required an act of Congress. Someone should point out to Kamala, responsibility doesn’t work that way. She was given the job and she didn’t do it. It matters not why. It matters not what her title is. She was assigned the job, she accepted responsibility for getting it done, and she didn’t do it. She never even tried.

That is called failure, regardless of the reason.

Indeed, it is one of the biggest problems of the dems. They just don’t know how to accept responsibility. When Obama withdrew from Iraq, millions died. Did you hear Obama accept fault. Did you hear any apologies. When Old Joe came up with that huge disaster in Afghanistan, did you hear him admit to failure. No, never. All you heard from him were efforts to put the blame on others. You remember him pointing fingers and saying it was his fault, never mine. When the bodies were brought back, he could barely take the time to meet them. I have not any idea what was so important to him, but obviously, he could not wait to get back to it.

When his foreign policies led to Russia attacking Ukraine, did you hear him accept responsibly? I didn’t. When Iran funded the attack on Israel by the Palestinians with American money supplied by Old Joe, did you hear anything close to an apology? Did you ever hear him say, “Oops.” You and I both know, it’s not going to happen. When illegal aliens enter the US and kill Americans, is there even the slight appearance of sorrow. Nope. Not anyone in and around the White House. They won’t even acknowledge they took part in the cause. Not going to happen either ever.

I would guess it is part of their plans – never say your sorry – even if you are at fault. Instead, deny, deny, deny. Eventually, of course, we will all forget. Right? I mean, how many even remember the disaster in Afghanistan? And it was just a few years ago. How many have already given Old Joe and his ilk a pass on the all the deaths.

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.

I Was Wrong

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Lawyers and Representation, Politcal Opinion by

I’m really slipping. Second time this month. At any rate, to the best of my knowledge, Old Joe is still hold up in his home and saying he will not come out and play the games the godfathers of the Democrat party want to play.

I’m not sure, but I’d guess that the dems will start getting serious with the threats. On the other hand, Old Joe is likely pointing out a few skeletons the dems are hiding in their closets. I think what we are seeing here is a real power war held within the Democrat Party and they are firing salvos at each other daily, if not more frequently.

The disadvantage to the dems is that when fighting is internal, the damage can be severe and long lasting. But what else can they do? If Biden holds onto the nomination, the dems know it will be a crash and burn election. The power that they have been fighting for will figuratively go up in smoke inside a month or two after Trump takes the oath. They know Trump will not just threaten to reverse their accomplishments, he will do it. He did it before. Unlike any of the former Republican presidents, Trump owes nothing to anyone and he will close the border and open the oil spigots.

The county club republicans won’t like actually having to pay an honest wagees for labor and the dems won’t like losing all those wonderful potential voters. Iran, Russia, Iraq and the Saudis will not like the drop in oil prices. The Ruskies will have to give up their efforts to take over the world until another dem takes over the Oval Office.

You want to see how the dems try to do damage control, just keep an eye on the news for the next couple of months.

Just one more little reminder. The dems still have the 25th amendment. They can remove Old Joe from office in ten minutes. However, Old Joe will still remain the Democrat candidate for president. I am sure Kamala is also well aware of it. It puts her in a real quandary. Does she remain with Joe and figuratively go down with the ship, which will end her career; or does she abandon her “fearless leader,” and fall in line with her communists comrades.

Any way you look at it, I don’t see her winning. Even if she stays with Joe and they win, she will have distanced herself from the party. The only hope she would have is that she might say she did it for the party. Using the 25th after Joe takes his oath, Joe would be removed from office and she would be president; the first black woman pres. However, who in the world would she pick to be her VP? She just might have to get very desperate to find someone who would be willing.

Well, I suppose her husband would volunteer, but I’m not sure. He likely knows her too well.

THIS JUST IN. As they say, reliable sources suggest that there is an agreement, so to speak, a gentleman’s agreement. Old Joe would not pull out of the race, but he would lose the candidacy during the Democrat convention.

Well, that’s what I heard. This, of course brings up many questions. Can they really manage it? It would take very little to cause it all to blow up in everyone’s face. Just how will that play in the general election? Somehow they will have to explain how the leaders of the Democrat Party, the guardians of the democracy, just threw away the results of 14 million votes in the rank and file of the party.

I mean, I know why they would do it. They don’t want to lose the general election. They don’t want to lose their power. It is, as I aforementioned. It’s their damage control; AKA, panic.

Would this mean I was actually right. I wished I could say so, but no. I was still no. My guess was that he would already be out of the race. Besides, we still do not know how this will play out. As the guy said, Man’s best plans…

Points to Ponder

Posted in Uncategorized by

First, let me say that if President Trump had any doubts about there being a God, they have likely been totally removed. It is that way for many of us. With some, it is one big event. For me, it was many little things, to the point I can’t remember them all. It would be very difficult for me to deny his existence when about every time I turn around, I see something else that proves He is.

In Trump’s case, it is a little stronger. Many times it is that way when God has a special purpose for you, Nothing, but nothing can kill you. Take for example, the unexplainable fact that Washington’s clothing had 4 holes in them. Yet, he did not have one wound during the Revolutionary War. Moreover, he went on to become our first president. God clearly had a purpose for him. Had he been killed during the Revolutionary War, I think that the army would have scattered and today, there would be no United States of America and we would all be speaking English. Wait a minute. We do speak English. Hopefully you get my point.

The timing was precise. At the exact moment that the shooter shot, Trump turned away. What would have been a hole in his head was just a hole in his ear.

Please don’t get the wrong idea. One other was killed and two others seriously wounded. There were serious consequences to the the Secret Services sloppiness. Those roofs should have been cleared and two men should have been kept there on the roof until Trump left.

Now, before I get to the actual points to ponder. The woman heading the Secret Service should immediately be fired if not for the shooting, then for her understanding of responsibility. It means if she fails at her job, she gets fired, no matter who else might be involved in the failure. Leaders, good leaders, never point fingers and they never say it is someone else’s fault. Certainly, in this case, the fault cannot be placed on both the director and the local police at the same time.

  1. There is a bit of irony in this situation. While the shooter intended to kill Trump, it would appear he actually helped him. No one wants to have something like that happen to him. However, it revealed Trump’s courage. It might have also given him a little attitude adjustment. Trump did say that every minute is a gift of God. I don’t know that he would have said that or knew that before.
  2. Apparently, thankfully, the shooter was planning a head shot. Had he been aiming at the center of his chest, the movement would not have saved Trump.
  3. The man got up on the building. How did he know that he could? Most folks wouldn’t try. They would take it for granted that it would be guarded. I am not yet thinking conspiracy, but this would give me a place to start.
  4. I was a little confused about them saying the man was a Republican… more than a few times. It would seem to indicate that they want to make sure we all know that. To be sure, there are many Republican never Trumpers but it does create something of a conflict in my mind. It certainly put a tool in the hands of the dems, didn’t it?
  5. Was he alone? They said Oswald was alone too. I’m still not believing that one. It would be very easy for someone back in the wings could have encouraged him and even provide a little assistance. The way I figure it, it took them a micro-second to say he was alone, before they knew. Moreover, I’m not sure they will look for someone else and ignore all evidence. The fact is, they don’t want anyone else to be involved. That would be inconvenient.
  6. Old Joe admitted to implying that Trump was a target. Many dems made similar statements and I have heard no reprieves. If it comes right down to it, many of them are regretting that the shooter missed. Some have even stated as much in public. Though they did not pull the trigger, they encouraged the shooter. If the shooter had survived, they likely would have paid for all hisw legal costs.
  7. One thing I do not understand is, why is the resignation not on Old Joe’s desk. The person who was put in charge of managing the site and keeping Trump alive and unharmed… failed miserably and he/she should have submitted that resignation Monday morning. That he survived was something of an accident. It was not due to anything that he/she said or did. Indeed, he is still alive in spite of all he/she neglected to do or say.

I understand about the suggested sightings up to thirty minutes ahead of time. It makes no difference. The failure was hours before when the the roofs were not cleared. With proper local supervision, the shot would have been. We might not have even heard of it. However, it still bothers me that once he was spotted, why wasn’t Trump put in a secure area?

The Race Is On and the Questions Abound

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Communism, Crazy Nuts, Kamala Harris, Politcal Opinion, Uncategorized by

I made a mistake. At 9 PM I went shopping. I admit. It was a weakness. I have learned it is not as hot after the sun goes down and at my age, I am not nearly able to take the heat as well.

So, apparently, right after I left the house the stories started breaking. The rumors are flying and it is difficult to nail any of it down.

Apparently, and I say apparently, because I have not been able to nail it down; many of the dem leaders are asking Old Joe to step aside from the election, citing the fact his poles on in tank and a little lower. From what I gather, Old Joe told them to get lost. He said his poles are just fine and he is going to win.

I did find reports from a couple of networks and Reuters News have reported that the pressure is now on.

On the other hand, Old Joe has put his defenses up by trying a virtual early vote. His hope is that if he gets the official vote, it will be more difficult to remove his nomination. Hence, the race is on. Does he lose his nomination before he is officially nominated. For that matter, will it protect him as he hopes?

Then too, the questions arise. Is it legal to remove him by force? Are threats going to be made? If he does bow to the pressure, who will the nominee be? Then too, questions of law pop up. Can the dems really negate the thousands of votes in the primary. If so, how do they go about it.

Then again, there is another real problem they have. If he is not fit to serve as pres in January, is he fit now? Or…. at what point between the two points in time does Old Joe become unfit and how do we Know. Do the doctors give him a test at the beginning of each day and certify him fit for the day.

Then too, the one question that most concerns me. Are those commie dems going to try to make me listen to that voice and cackling of Kamala for 4 years? I hope she avoids news conferences as much as Old Joe did.

Then again, we could resolve the interim thing in a real hurry. We could quickly disqualify Kamala and Old Joe remove them both from office at once. Now that’s a thought I like to think.

Don’t Point

Posted in Uncategorized by

I can remember, believe it or not, when I was 4, being told, “Don’t point. It’s not polite.”

Really, I am not writing this to brag about my memory. The thing is I was not much older when I was taught not to point a gun.

I have written before about gun safety and pointing guns. I should not have to repeat it. I should not have to say anything about it at all. Once a month, it should be repeated on TV. It cannot be repeated too much.

My three safety rules on guns:

  1. Assume all guns are loaded until proven otherwise
  2. Assume all guns are loaded, period.
  3. Do not point a gun at anyone you do not intend to shoot.

Since I posted those three rules last, I’ve added two more. First, make sure there is no one behind anyone you are aiming at. You might miss and hit the one beyond your target. Moreover, the bullet can go through you target and hit the one behind. Actually, it is something of an extension of rule 3. Finally, don’t shoot unless you are in danger. Do not shoot to protect someone else unless you are ready to go to prison for it. I guess it is sort of that way if you are in danger. You might still end up in jail but, at least you’ll still be alive.

It is a fact, if you shoot someone or if you shoot at someone and you can’t come up with a good reason, there is a good probability that you will go to jail.

As a side note: even if you are completely justified, it is something that will stay with you the rest of your life.

You might wonder why I brought up the subject. That actor is again saying it was an accident. He is pleading not-guilty because he didn’t pull the trigger. It doesn’t matter. He pointed the gun at the woman. Moreover, though he was told the gun was safe, he never checked it. (Rule 1)

I believe he should be convicted and go to prison. He’ll be lucky it will be just 18 months. Fact is, even if the gun never went off, he should still get a good hand slap for pointing the gun at the woman.

I did find it interesting that the defense attorney said that he was handed a prop gun. If I were the persecuting attorney, if appropriate, I would have objected. The gun he was handed was not a prop. it was a real gun with at least one real live bullet in it. The fact that it was used as a prop did not change that.

Compound Questions

Posted in Uncategorized by

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.
