The Solid South

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.

Government Paychecks

I guess I was in high school when it first occurred to me about folks drawing paychecks directly from the government. Many more draw their pay indirectly from the government, such as working for companies deriving the majority of their income from the government.

Many will ask why it should make a difference. Others will suggest it is a good and honest way to make a living. I guess to some degree both are true. However, I like to consider it scaled down.

Consider, a town of 100. Would it be a good thing that 50 of them draw paychecks from the other 50? Is it a good thing that only 50 of them do productive work?

I am being extreme, of course in making my point. It just is that with the small numbers, it is easier to comprehend what happens when someone draws a government paycheck.

The fact is, big government is expensive. Extremely big government is extremely expensive.

I look around and what I see, is extremely big government. To some, it might not seem so but we must remember, every person deriving a paycheck from the government means more taxes. That is to say, the others of us must provide for them, food, shelter, and so forth.

Certainly, some things must be done by governments. Consider The Department of Education. It has 4400 employees and a budget of 68 billion. Why? How many of them stand in a classroom and teaches… or makes a measurable contribution. I truly suspect that if the entire department went away, hardly anyone would notice. Well the National Education Association to be sure. The two of them are joined at the hip.

The thing is, it doesn’t stop there. There is no telling how many people work in each state for some kind of education department. Let’s multiply that by 50 fifty and we’re talking a bunch of people.

Then each county and each major city has their education system. At this point we are likely talking a bunch of folks who make their living educating our children and none enters a classroom.

Actually The Department of Education is a relatively small department. At every level, city, county, state and federal governments we have, law enforcement, courts and lawyers, again multiplied by fifty.

As an aside, what physical product do the lobbyists produce? Oh. That’s right, none. They’re in essence a bunch of parasites making a fortune in bribery. Going back to our little 100 person community, just what purpose would they have there?

Yet, if we ask every government employee at every level to justify his job, they would all be ready with an answer. Well, almost all of them.

Worse Than Hitler

It is a phrase commonly used by the dems, very erroneously I might add.  It is the dems who have cost the lives of millions, not Trump.  It is the dems who hate the Israelis, not Trump, who returned to the capital of Israel to Jerusalem after many failed before him.  If anyone deserves the title of Nazis, it’s the dems who insist on the cease fire in Gaza.

Nonetheless, there are two men who were worse than Hitler, Marx and Darwin.

To be sure, Darwin was an inspiration to Hitler.  It was he who inspired the concept of ‘survival of the fittest.’  It was Darwin who gave Hitler the idea of eliminating inferior races.  It is why he wanted to destroy the Jews and the blacks as well as anyone who had any disabilities.  Also, it is Darwin who inspired the Scopes monkey trial, which initiated driving God out of our schools and the teaching of evolution.

So, when you talk of the 6 million Jews killed by Hitler, let’s remember it started with Darwin.  Moreover, Hitler began the WWII on the basis of the theory of evolution.  For this reason, you can pretty well accredit every life lost in the European theater to Darwin, though he never pulled a trigger. (not that I know of)

On the other hand, Marx inspired the likes of Stalin and Lenin.  While neither ever really wanted Marxist communism, they used it to sell their leadership, while justifying the killing and imprisoning untold millions in the process.  Between the two of them, they killed over ten million in the name of communism.  Thanks to Mr. Marx, millions of Jews were forced from Russia and right into the waiting arms of Hitler.

I have found it odd, but it is possible that Hitler saved the world from the likes Stalin and Linen.  Hitler put a stop to communism in Europe and might have slowed communism long enough to keep them from taking over the world.  I don’t know.  Just a thought that I won’t confirm this side of eternity.  Perhaps it is the reason to the oft asked question of why God did not kill Hitler.

Of course, Mao, another Marxist, killed, perhaps as many as 50 million while establishing his kingdom.  Then to make matters worse, after his revolution, even more were dying of starvation, which caused him to turn to Indochina for food.  That, in turn resulted in problems in Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.  Therefore, we can ultimately thank Marx for the loss of American armed forces in Korea as well as Vietnam.  However, it did not stop there.  Pot killed just about one forth of the population of Cambodia while establishing his kingdom there, though it was in the name of communism.

So, oddly, after all this history, you’d think we would know better.  You’d think people would learn.  However, it is true, people are quick to believe the lie and slow to accept the truth.

The biologists all over the world worship evolution and the economists bow down before the god of communism.  It would seem they worship the same gods as Hitler, Lenin and Stalin did.  Moreover, they come down hard on anyone that refuses to accept their religion beliefs.  At first, they made fun of us.  Now, those of us who refuse to follow their unproved and unworkable beliefs are apt to end up in prison or, in some cases, dead.

It is how they love to work.  Remember, they have no fear of God.  Their religion is communism.  They want us too, to fear and follow communism, though they know it will never work.  Indeed, it is about power.  It is all about the power and they don’t like it when we fear God more than them.

There is no telling how many will die because of the writings of Marx and Darwin, but God already knows.  And He will see to it that the 2 of them pay for the every one of those deaths especially children.  It will make them wish they never picked up a pen and paper.  Also, He will make sure those who spread the false religion will pay for it too.  He really does know how to do that.

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

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?

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.

Secure Vote

Prior to the chad fiasco, Desoto County, MS used the punch system & it seemed reasonable to me. Since then, the came up with what looks to me as an ultra-secure. It looks so secure that I wish they would use it throughout the US.

Before I explain it, let me interrupt myself just a little. A perfect system won’t work without A. a good accurate system of registration. B. a good method of ID. C. minimum mail-in votes. Personal note, internet votes are not secure but it could be made more accurate than mail-ins. There are far too many ways of tampering with the mail-ins. D. drop boxes should never, ever be permitted.

Now, let me explain what we now have for voting. When I go in to vote, my picture ID is checked and I am given a piece of paper. If I prefer, I am given an old fashioned paper ballot.

Assuming I choose the new system, as most do, I go to a computer, enter the paper and complete my vote. The computer prints my vote on the paper, which, in essence has become my completedpaper ballot.

Once I verify it’s correct, I take it to a separate machine and slide the ballot into the 2nd computer.

At this time, my vote is recorded in 3 places, once on paper.

I am not sure what the recount procedure would be, but, if nothing else there is a hard-copy on paper that can be physically counted.

If it were up to me me, regardless of the results, I would do a random check of every 1000th ballot and check it against the computer images. There should be no discrepancy. If any show up, I would endeavor to determine why and correct it.

If we make our methods secure, only then will people trust it, only then will the dishonest be completely discouraged.

Democracy

Democracy has a big disadvantage as well as advantage. A nation will get what they vote for, be it good or bad.

When the Gaza Strip was separated from Israel, forming a 2 state solution, they voted 70% for HAMAS. That was just about a 3/4 endorsement of an organization determined to destroy Israel. This, in essence, doomed the 2 state solution. Time-after-time, HAMAS has risen up in an effort to destroy, that is to say, eliminate Israel with the backing of Iran.

Not only is it an overt effort to do away with the 2 state solution, It was an effort to turn it all into a Palestinian state.

HAMAS is what they voted for. It would appear they lost the 2 state solution because of that. They will live in a place governed by Israel and they have lost their chance at Democracy.

It’s not that surprising. The Palestinians, or for that matter, most Arabians aren’t that keen on democracy, anyway. It was forced on Gaza and, as near as I can tell Israel is the only nation around there that has anything resembling a democratic government. And … it is the one government Biden hates.

Just maybe Old Joe don’t like democracy as much as he wants us to believe.

One Way to Keep African-Americans Out of the Good Private Schools

Simple. Make sure they never get school vouchers.

Don’t get me wrong? I am in favor of vouchers. I want Black children to have the same benefits of the wealthy. However, the dems are steadfast against it. Their priorities are the government schools over all children.

There’s a horrid relationship between the teachers unions and the the government. The teachers unions provide financial support for the dems, both direct and in kind. The dems provide support for the teachers unions by fighting vouchers.

More, it is a way for the dems to control what your children are taught, or not. You’ll never find a teacher in a public school teaching Christian ideas.

The dems look at every child leaving public schools, regardless of ethnicities, as a loss of money and power.

Remember. If the public schools are so great, why do the wealthy send their children to private schools? Why is it that some take on 2nd jobs just to keep their children out of the influence government controlled education. If the private schools are not as good as public schools, how is it that so many of them are doing so well, in both enrollment and success.

Finally, if government run schools are so great, why are those running those schools so desperately afraid that they will lose so many of their students to private schools should vouchers be permitted, even for a percentage of the less fortunate.

Smart Idea!

Again, let me say, as a Mississippi resident, I really have no business telling Tennesseans how to run their state. However, as an observer, I must admit they seem to have passed a good law. With a law requiring law enforcement officers to notify ICE of illegal aliens, the illegal aliens just might want to go somewhere else to hide.

That of course decreases the cost of having illegal aliens in the state: education, welfare, imprisonment, and law enforcement. Some would say this is not fair for the illegal aliens. The fact is, they are illegal just simply by bypassing our rules, laws and regulations. It is also unfair for them to be here while others wait their turn and follow the rules, laws and regulations.

As a side note, they have no loyalty or feelings of allegiance to the US, to the state or the city in which they decide to take up residence. If they move here for the dollar, the dollar and their own country is where their heart is.

You don’t believe me. I ask you. Do they wave the American flag or their own? Are they proud of America or their own country? Do they stand for the Star Spangled Banner or more likely for some other. Maybe they stand proud when an enemy flag is raised and the tune of their country is played.

Imagine, If You Can

Again, I say that the mayor of Memphis suggests an organization of “Black mayors.” What I would suggest is one of the mayors becomes a maverick and follows the concept of a conservative and maybe even Republican.

I know I am asking a lot, but just stay with me a moment. The city where he is mayor becomes the city that is safe, clean and the place everyone wants to go. Don’t you think the other mayors would become embarrassed? Don’t you think the other mayors would fall in line and do as the one mayor?

Of course not. The maverick would be ignored, even looked down on. Eventually, he would politically destroyed and villainized in a few short years.

How do I know this? In a way, It has happened. Remember how nice NY, NY was while Mayor Jiuliani was in office. Remember how they ignored, even mocked his methods. Now look at how quickly the dems destroyed the city and the mayor.

By the way, it is easy to see why it is so difficult to imagine the maverick. Seeing what happened to Jiuiani, who would have the courage to step out of line, even a little. The dems are in lockstep and woa to those who forget it for a moment.

Incidentally, why do you suppose the dems want to destroy the Orange man so much. Not only did he step out of line, but also proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the dems hate America and Americans. They want to destroy the nation and her people.
