I almost never find myself in agreement with Hillary Clinton. So, as incredible as it may seem, I must admit I find myself in total agreement with one of her recent statements. Our nation is certainly in a state crisis. Of course, she ought to know. She was the cause of it.

“The New Green Deal?”
First, there is nothing new about communism. It is as old as Marx, though it has been called by many different things.
Second, though it has been tried dozens of times, it has never succeeded. I’m not saying it usually failed or even most of the time. It has always failed.
Finally, it is a means to an end. Vicious people have used it to gain control over people. Stalin, might have been the first, but he was not the last. In the name of the ideal society, he killed millions, many of them farmers. Indeed, he killed more than Hitler. History is full of people who promised the heaven and presented hell. In each and every case, it has ended in a dictatorship where even thoughts are controlled. What I say has been true 100% of the time.
In each case, those who rose to power climbed over the poor and abused. A person would have to be blind to see that it is the same method they would like to use in the US. Of course, they say they are different than the dictators. Yet, they have no scruples. They use lies, deception and trickery in every direction. It is not to make things better for us, but rather to acquire power for them. If they succeed, they will live in luxery while the rest of us suffer. It is the pattern. They don’t care about the poor and abused. They are nothing more than tools. When they have control, they will be worse off than before. By the way, so will the rest of us.
An Alert to the Citizens of N.Y. City
Trucks and freight trains run on fossil fuel. Trucks and freight trains carry food into the city of New York. If we do away with fossil fuel (Diesel fuel) the people will starve. Simple fact.
…and people people have a hard time believing my books. At least I label my books as fiction. The Dummycrats expect us to accept this fiction as science.
Bottom line… it is about power, not saving the planet.
Cars, Planes and Trains
I have always had a fascination with trains. I guess most kids do, but most people grow out of it. If I had it to do over again, I might have chosen to work, in some way, with trains. I think I would have really liked to be a conductor.
I especially like the old steam trains. Most think that the old steam locomotives were replaced because they didn’t have the power that the Diesel does. Actually, that isn’t true. The old steam engines had plenty of power. …and by the way, they were fast too. Casey Jones often pushed his train at one-hundred miles-an-hour. Besides, his engine was not the newest. The newest engines were powered by steam turbines. They were not only powerful, but they were also very efficient.
The downfall of the steam engine was maintenance. If they could have used good clean water, they would not have had to have nearly so much maintenance, but the old boilers required a lot of regular work.
That aside, the dummycrats would like to see us abandon our cars and planes and use trains. That won’t work. A 747 can carry around 350 passengers. It seems odd and counter-intuitive, but that is about the number of passengers that the average train carries. That means, while trains are okay for short runs, they are horrible for the long haul.
Besides, there are just some places trains can’t go. The tourist’s trade of Hawaii might have some real complaints if we did away with planes. Moreover, train tracks require a lot of maintenance and, oddly, they are nowhere near as safe as commercial airlines.
Finally, it would never happen anyway. Those congressmen would never let it happen. It already takes Pelosi five hours to fly between San Francisco and D.C. I do not think she would want to spend three days riding a train each way.
Oh yes, one more thing. You try taking those keys away from those California drivers and you will have a fight on your hands. That is not going to happen. I would like to see them try that. It would turn the state from blue to red overnight.
“Let the Buyer Beware!”
Those who know me know that I am very much in favor of capitalism. However, there are some who take advantage of capitalism for dishonest endeavors. Whenever such things happen, the government ought to take reasonable measures to prevent such things.
By the way, such things are not new. In the Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert & Sullivan, the pirate king claims that he is relatively honest. He raises the skull and crossbones, and everyone knows what he and his men intend. The businessman wears a business suit and robs people blind. Moreover, those that are most likely to steal are those who are members of the bar association.
Well, today I received a letter from a dishonest business. You may ask, “How do you know it is a dishonest business?”
To which, I say, it is simple. On the letterhead, I saw “Medicare.com.” It is an effort to deceive. It was not from the government. The Medicare website is Medicare.gov. There was a disclaimer at the bottom of the letter. I am sure they want everyone to read it. On the other hand, if one out of a hundred doesn’t read it, the deception is successful.
For the most part, I did not read the letter. I cannot tell you what it says. However, I will tell you who it is from. I will let you draw your own conclusion as to their honesty. I will let you decide if you want to do business with them. As for me, I will not give them the time of day.
They identify themselves as eHealthinsurance agency in New York and Oklahoma. I would hope you will practice one capitalist saying, “Let the buyer beware.”
President Trump’s #1 Accomplishment
President Trump has accomplished so much that it is difficult to determine just which is his greatest accomplishment. While he has not yet completely replaced Obama Care, it is all but gone. In a year or so, it will no longer exist; other than in our memories, or more accurately, our nightmares.
Certainly, he has done wonders for our economy. He has brought back a bunch of jobs, particularly in manufacturing. Some might not like it, but he has challenged the countries of Russia, China and Iran. He pulled us out of The Paris Climate Conference, which would have been disastrous for our economy.
I am sure I have left out one or two things, but I have come to the conclusion that we have overlooked the one thing that was most important. I say ‘we’ because, until this evening, I never considered it.
To the best of my knowledge, no one else has mentioned it, leastwise not directly. In indirect ways, many have talked around it. Some have even denied it, though they had no idea of it.
Actually, in a way, President Trump has come close to speaking on it, though I am sure it was not his intention. His accomplishment will change things forever, regardless of anything else he has done. It will change this nation for both liberals and conservatives, for Republicans and dummycrats. The dummycrats would like to deny it, but, when and if confronted, they will have to admit it.
President Trump has exposed the media bias. No more will people ever trust the news media. Some will not trust the big newspapers and networks. Many will not trust the conservative outlets. To be sure, no one will ever have the total trust of all of us, as did Walter Cronkite.
Good Guys Finish Last?
To some degree, the adage “nice guys finish last” has again been proven true. Because President Trump did not want the federal employees to continue to lose their pay; because Pelosi could care less about those who were suffering, the nice guy – President Trump lost. The heartless one – Pelosi won.
In the end, however, the good guys may yet win. If Pelosi goes back on her word, as she has done so many times before, President Trump can still come out victorious. He can declare the emergency and build the wall anyway. What’s more, he might build it bigger and longer. Then Pelosi will be the one with egg on her face. The real villain will lose and the people will see how effective it is. Finally, in the end, the people will see how much of a liar Pelosi is.
Of course, it should not be a surprise to anyone. After all, she is a dummycrat and lying is what dummycrats do.
BUILD THE WALL!!!
Apologies
Seems that there are a bunch of apologies being made by the dummycrats recently, especially by the ones thinking about running for president. I can’t say for sure, but I suspect they all have one thing in common. They are all likely empty apologies. Then again, I might be wrong. They might actually be real. After all, they are dummycrats. They might have just been lying, either before or now. Your guess is as good as mine as to which.
The Error of Reagan
Way back when, I am not sure of the date, President Reagan made an error. It was one of his few. He agreed that they would grant citizenship to millions of illegal aliens under the agreement that the border would be secured.
Guess what. President Reagan came through with his part of the agreement. The dummycrats didn’t. The border was not seured and it has not been secured to this day.
Not only was it an error but it has become a pattern. It is similar to Charlie Brown, Lucy, and the football. For anyone unaware, Lucy promises to hold the football while for Charlie while he kicks it. Without fail, she moves the football right before he kicks it. Poor Charlie never learns. Every time, he misses the ball and ends up flat on his back.
I would hope that we don’t repeat the error of Reagan again. If we do, maybe the Republicans are more foolish than Charlie. Then again, maybe it is willing, or more accurately, designed foolishness. Maybe they don’t really want THE WALL and they just want to hide behind the dummycrats. Still, I wonder. Do they really prefer to look so dumb?
I am beginning to think the only way that President Trump will build any kind of barrier is to declare an emergency. If he does, he may as well do it right and build it coast to coast. I mean, if he is going to be in for a penny, he may as well be in for a dollar. More important, the dummycrats just might learn an important lesson, or maybe two. For that matter, the rinos might learn a thing or two.
Then again, I doubt it. I think that is just a little too much to hope for. The dummycrats don’t want the wall so that they can gain power. The rinos don’t want it because they want cheap labor. Neither one cares a thing about the loss of life on both sides of the border and I don’t think they ever will.
Dummycrats and Lobbyists
When I first moved to my current home about 40 years ago, the four of us went to a nice place a few miles away. After we spent the day there, we went to a drive-in restaurant. My older son put away a foot-long chili dog and a 1/4 pound hamburger, not to mention the fries. I would guess it would attest to a hard day at play.
Then, of course, we headed home, or at least I thought we did. The area was sparsely populated and I was not familiar with it. However, after about fifteen minutes, I started thinking I did something wrong.
I stepped out of the car and realized the sun was behind me. Up to this point, I was convinced that I was going west. Wow! Was that a rude awakening? The worst part was that I was low on gas and had no idea which way to go to the nearest gas station. Fortunately, I made the right decision and went north where I found a station in a few miles. Finally, we actually did head home, west.
I made a mistake, one that I seldom make. I went the wrong way. I guess I am not alone. I heard about a pilot who thought he was going west and flew east to Ireland. Most suspect that he did it on purpose in order to get around some kind ruling by the government. There was also a football player who actually ran toward the wrong goal line. Now that has to be embarrassing. No one wants to score for the other team, especially in front of thousands of fans.
To be sure, it is sometimes a good thing to stop and take our bearings. Sometimes, no matter how sure we are, we just might be going the wrong direction. Certainly, no matter how convinced we are that we are going the wrong direction, we just might be headed toward disaster. Had I not stopped and checked, I would have run out of gas. There is no telling how long how long I would have had to wait for help.
If someone takes off from San Francisco in a little Cessna and goes west, he will not ever reach Reno no matter how convinced he is that he is going east. It might not hurt to look down and see what is below him. If the weather doesn’t permit, maybe he can use his VOR or maybe his GPS. If he is convinced all the instruments are wrong, he is going to be in trouble. That little plane is going to run out of gas before reaching land.
One thing I have personally noticed is that any time dummycrats and lobbyists get together, the Dummycrats will invariably end up going the wrong way. During their recent little stay in Porto Rico, I understand that there were more than 4 lobbyists for each dummycrat. Now that is a recipe for disaster. Nothing good can come from such a thing. Invariably, the Dummycrats will end up going the wrong direction and the lobbyist will do all they know to convince them they are going the right way. Moreover, by the time the dummycrats figure it out, there might not be any gas stations around. They just might be surrounded by open seas.
