Archaeologists are always digging up ancient civilizations and wondering what happened to them, how they came to be wiped out. Other cultures tell of wars that were fought in the skies with weapons that are remarkably like our own nuclear bombs. Others have found ancient ruins that are loaded with radiation and rocks that are melted, some places in the deserts they have found a type of glass that only could be formed by a nuclear style weapon. If any of this is true, and you may believe as you wish, how can we be the pinnacle of world history when we are repeating the mistakes of the past?What makes us think that this so called civilization is going to last? Ten thousand years from now are archaeologists going to find our ruins and scratch their heads as to what happened?

So why bring this up?

The last few days I have noticed a trend in both the MSM and alternate news. Everyone is now talking about a likely nuclear war with Russia. Democrats and republicans, conservative news as well as the liberal media seem to suggest that this is inevitable and I dare say they almost seem to revel in the idea.

What is wrong with these people?

It's not just the US and Russia either. Everywhere you look, N. Korea, China, Iran, Pakistan,etc. They are all screaming and sometimes firing off real threats. Some of their desire for mass destruction is based on politics and saber rattling and others are based on religion, but all of it, no matter the reason for it, makes no kind of sense. Why would you want to set off a chain of events that would destroy everything, quite literally, in the world? Do you hate this life so much? Are your own people so beneath you that you would allow them to suffer for nothing?

At least two states have put out PSA on what to do in case of a nuclear blasts in a major city. While I applaud them for at least giving some hope to the people, if a blast hits them they are all dead, today's arsenal makes the bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like child's play and their would be little no no survivors for miles around the initial blasts. NO ONE WINS.

In the 80's there was a movie called “War Games” with Matthew Broderick. The premise was this kid accidentally hacking into a government computer and almost starting Armageddon. The computer had to learn and so it tried every scenario and it's conclusion was that the only way to win was to not play.

This is where we are at, but this isn't a game and the consequences are deadly real, yet the powers that be seem to be feeding into this very scenario and are hard at work getting us into the mind set of this being inevitable.

So ask yourself these questions; Is mutual destruction over Ukraine worth it? Is the expansion of borders for Russia or NATO worth it? Is the touted NWO worth billions dead over land or population control? Perhaps your religious beliefs say this is inevitable as well so you refuse to speak out, if so something is wrong with your beliefs and you.

All of this hurts my soul. Having been in war and seeing the evil that man can do to man, I am lost as to why anyone would opt for this level of destruction and suffering.

If you are a praying person, pray,we might yet be delivered from this insanity.

 

Red Sox and Elephants

I have been a Red So fan all my life. Win lose or glorious draw , I have been a fan. When they were on top, I was there rooting them on. When they were in the bottom of the pile, as they are now, I am still a fan and will always be. It's called loyalty.

Now just imagine that I was chosen to play for them and better yet I eventually become the manager of the team, what an honor that would be!

But imagine if ,after becoming the manager of the team, I started, publicly, criticizing the players on the team. Worse , not only criticizing but suggesting that our team is so mediocre that we wont ever get out of the basement, never mind the playoffs, or the world series. How long do you think I'd last as manager? The players would quit trying, the opposing teams would run all over us and eventually the fans would quit coming to the games.

The elephants of the upper chamber have this kind of manager right now. He is suggesting that they can't win because some of the candidates are "mediocre". If that's "leadership" then the elephants are in trouble. But as this one question; What is it that makes them Mediocre? Is it because they don't play insider politics? Perhaps it's because they can't be bought off? What is it that makes them Mediocre Mitch? Even if you don't like them , they are on your team, and you should be out there cheering them on, if that's your idea of leadership then perhaps we should trade you to the donkeys for someone who is going to cheer the team on no matter what. Just my humble opinion.

To Dennis RIP

 Today my post is not political. Far from it. Today I want to skip all that and focus on the things that are truly important; friends and family, and trying to do some good in this world, to leave it, when the time comes , a better place.

A dear friend of mine passed on to the next world last week, but he was the epitome of what I believe to be a wonderful example of doing good in this world and making it just a bit better when you can.

My friends name was Dennis. He was highly educated. A doctor of theology, he was the senior pastor of the church that I attended. He had a wonderful wife and three children and a love for all people no matter their status.

Dennis was, above all else, one of the kindest, non judgmental, humans I ever have known. He was down to earth, right down to his love for gardening. But it was his love for people and his God that made him amazing. When I met him I was a very beat up combat vet, tattooed and ear ringed and perhaps a bit stressed. I was helping out our youth pastor with kids from our church at a youth camp in Arkansas. Being around strangers is not one of my strong points as some of you likely know, but he, and his family, had this openness about them that made you feel comfortable almost immediately. I wound up spending two weeks there with them and it was one of the best experiences of my life, one that I will always remember. I wound up being the camp care taker and I regularly attended his church, eventually becoming a pastor myself. It was there that I really saw him shine.

Our church had a very wide diversity of people. We had dirt poor children and troubled youth. We had senior citizens. We had all colors of the rainbow and a few mixed breeds as well. We had single moms and folks that were likely not here legally, but none of that mattered to him. They were all humans and his brothers and sisters, he treated them all with respect and kindness, no exceptions. He treated everyone the way he would want to be treated ,and the way he believed that God required him to. He did much good and positively effected many lives, including mine, and he will be missed.

One of the things that I appreciate about Judaism is their focus on life in this world. They don't spend time focused on the world to come because they believe that God has put us into this world to do good in whatever circumstances we find ourselves in, to make this world a little better in the here and now, knowing that it brings it's own rewards both in the now and in the future.

This is what we need more of in this world. We need people who will make this world better.

I don't think any of us are very happy with the insanity we see going on all over the world and most of us likely feel that there is little we can do to change all of it and you'd be right, but we are not asked by God to do that, some folks certainly, but the vast majority of us are only asked to have to look around us to find little things that we can do, because many times the little things turn out to be the most important. Maybe it's babysitting for a young couple that needs a break. Maybe it's helping an elderly neighbor get his garbage out to the road, maybe it's as simple as a glass of cold water on a hot day.

Anything you can think of can be it. It truly is as simple as this.

Dennis believed in doing the small things, and it shows, in many a changed life.

You will be missed my friend.

"Changing Peoples Lives"

Recently, Biden, while trying to tout how great the economy is, said “we are changing peoples lives.”

I would like to state unequivocally that I agree with him. His policies have indeed changed peoples lives, just not for the better.

I have lived on a fixed income for years. We lived this way while I was in the Marines and my wife was taking care of our kids.

This continued after my last deployment to the worlds biggest kitty litter box, courtesy of the VA, and we have manged to survive. We have never lived “high on the hog” as the saying goes, but we haven't starved either. That has all changed.

No, we are not starving, yet, but if this “great economy” continues that won't be long in coming.

2 years ago, with 5 adults living in my house, we would spend around $200-250 a week for groceries. Now with only three of us it's between $350-400. This week we will start eliminating things we don't need but are nice to have.

It used to cost me about $40 to fill up my van, now it's about 30 for a quarter of a tank. I don't dare let it get lower then that as it would easily cost between $100-120.

I can't even imagine what it would cost to replace the van if it died, I don't believe we could even afford to do so.

I sold my house in my favorite area in the world because of the much higher cost of living only to come out west and find that it's just as bad here now under this “great economy.”

Under this “great economy” and high interest rates,home ownership is now out of the question, so likely renting will be the only option at least until the price of renting gets too high, then I suppose we will be living in a tent or a cardboard box.

Electric, oil,gas and sewer prices have gone up as well.

Not sure what's exactly great about this economy.

So what do we do about it? I don't know. I write posts and congress critters and all I ever get back is form letters. I hate phones, but because I'm not a big business, they aren't likely to answer anyhow.

I have heard many times that I should vote republican ( I am an independent but I haven't voted for a democrat in decades) and while I think that republicans are a better option, where is the actual proof that they will do anything to help? Where are the republican “leaders?” I see a lot of lower ranked , though very vocal, members of the GOP saying what they are going to do but where are the ones that can actually get the ball rolling?

I have heard it said that the real problem is incompetence in the administration. While I agree that Biden himself has some serious issues, I don't think that any of this is incompetence. I think that all this pain and suffering is being purposefully done by those he has surrounded himself with. They have a communist agenda and they want you and I to feel the pain to try and force us into their communist world view.

Sadly the easy fix is right under our feet,literally. Open the oil fields and pipe lines, get our energy independence going again. All Biden had to do was ride on the coat tails of the successes of the Trump administration and likely rolled into an easy victory in November. But instead he decided that destroying the country, more importantly the people of this country, was going to be his top priority.

I hope that the dems, who also could have done something to stop this, get a serious shellacking in the mid terms, but I won't hold my breath. They have proved that they will do anything to cling onto power so I am not holding my breath for a massive red wave, but should the GOP take control, my message is simple, know that all of us are watching you. You talk a good talk but will you actually deliver? If you don't, just know that what wrath you incur, just as the dems are right now, you will deserve. If you truly want to change lives the power will be in your hands, so something besides talk.

Red Flags

 

Writing does not come easy to me. I have a great deal of passion when it comes to religion and politics, and I make feeble attempts at writing about them, but most of the time I have a hard time getting from my passionate mind to where it makes any coherent sense in written form. I read many pundits who seem to make it child's play, my own brother writes plays and books, yet I struggle to make a coherent sentence.

I want to speak on the proposed Red Flag Laws. I had several pages of written opinion on this subject but I decided that short and to the point would be better.

This, if it is passed, will be a serious violation of the constitution. Not just the 2^nd, but also of the 4^th.

The simple version of this law, if passed, would allow anyone to accuse you of being a danger to yourself, or others, without actual evidence, just say so from the reporting body, and law enforcement would be able to then come and seize your guns. For many veterans, law enforcement, first responders or anyone who has experienced great trauma this could be potentially disastrous. We could easily be some of the first people targeted. Not to mention the danger to the police officers that would be required to enforce these laws.

But again this would be a violation of the 4^th amendment. The 4^th amendment says:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The law in question would not require any of that, maybe that will change, but at the moment it would be in clear violation of the 4^th.

How about this; Instead of going after people who have done nothing wrong, which is the usual actions of politicians, how about enforce the laws on the books that are already there?

I remember talking to a friend who was a state trooper, he said that the law in that state said that if a person committed a felony gun crime, that person, if convicted, was looking at a minimum of 5 years in federal prison on top of whatever sentence they received for the actual crime. Just imagine if that was nation wide.

How about this, most of the mass shootings have been done by persons who were flagged as juveniles for potential trouble, but once they became adults those records are sealed. How about leaving those open until they are at least 21? How about seeing to it that they get the kind of mental help that they need instead of looking the other way? How about sticking veterans or retired law enforcement in the schools to protect them? I know many vets who would volunteer for that. There are many things that could be done that wouldn't infringe on any of our rights but that is not really what this is about. It is, as always, about power and control.

Instead of the above mentioned ideas,the government, led by both donkeys and rhinos ( otherwise known as communists) are going to try, once again, to restrict your rights just a little bit more just so they can say they did “something”.They will then find another excuse to take away more and it will continue.

If you don't think that will happen, just look at the last couple of years. Damn near all your rights were taken ( or willingly given up depending on your point of view) away over a bug. Don't you think they will continue this if they can? DHS was only to be for 5 years, as was the TSA, we are at 20 years and counting.

This is about power and control and both parties are a part of it.

We Have Told God To Go Away.

 We have a problem in this country. We have told God to go away and we are reaping the rewards for it.

We worship at many altars but not the altars that God has called us to. We seem too prefer sacrificing at the altars of abortion,environmentalism, and gender dysphoria, rather then at the altar of the God who created all of us.

We worship at the altar of death instead of life. Euthanasia of our elderly and disabled, aborting the unborn, even after they are born, if some states get their way.

We worship at the altar of state. Even when we know something is wrong,we accept things because the state says it's OK even when it goes against the laws of our creator.

Our movies, music, video games all glorify death and destruction and our MSM glorifies it and put it all on display for us to see.

Our alleged leadership at local, state and federal levels,embrace and encourage it.

We tell our children that they are just a random accident and that life has no other meaning then narcissistic pleasure, and that taking life is nothing.

We have taught our youth to disdain God and the idea that there is any right or wrong, that there is only subjective truth based on your own feelings.

Right is wrong, wrong is right, and things that have been the norm throughout known history is silliness in this new enlightened world. Then we shake our heads and wonder why in the last 40 years there is such an increase in violent crimes and immorality ,in all forms, running amok.

We spend our time focused on objects used to commit these heinous crimes rather then the issues that actually could make a difference such as bringing back the ideas of morality, right and wrong, but also bringing back the idea of a nuclear family. Young people need stable homes. Mental health needs to be not only addressed but followed up on, not just words but action.

Simply put, much of the evil you see would be resolved if we returned to God given principals and values, much of the evil today is a result of casting that aside.

I do not claim to be the most religious of men. I have been ordained in two denominations, only one of which is current,and I have studied the bible intently,I prefer my religion to consist of a lot of outdoors rather than buildings, yet even I can see what has happened; We as a nation have thrown away God and we are reaping the rewards for that. It's a matter of the heart and soul.

Go and look at your bible,correction, don't just look at it,actually read it. The Children of Israel are a fine example of what we see today. As their leadership went, so went the nation. When their leadership followed the laws of God they were blessed and the nations around them were blessed because of their faithfulness, but when it wasn't faithful to God and his laws, Israel suffered greatly, ultimately leading to their collective exile.

Were all the people evil? Of course not, but the innocent suffered as much as the guilty, likely because they did nothing to stop it. This is a lesson for us to learn from.

Our alleged leadership has tossed all things godly aside, some may pay lip service but the bottom line is that they will go with whats popular rather then what is right in the eyes of God and we are paying the price for it.

Is everyone in this country guilty? No, but just like Israel, too many good, God fearing people, refuse to participate in discussion and debate and challenge what is PC.

I refuse to be one of those people. Not saying I am better then anyone else, we all have our proverbial skeletons hiding in the closet, but I am suggesting that it is time to make a stand for what is right.

Even if I am socially ostracized for calling for a return to God and His laws, I can't remain silent, the PC thought police can silence me, but I won't willingly be silent.

Hysterical Left

 

Happy Mothers day...ooops I meant Happy birthing persons day!!! That's what we should be calling it right? I keep getting so confused must be my PMS acting up, or is it hot flashes at my age? I don't know, I am just another confused person who used to understand basic biology but now must bow to this new so called science insanity....

Speaking of insanity, last week someone leaked an draft opinion piece that seemed to suggest that Roe V Wade is going to be overturned. Everyone lost their collective minds on the left over an opinion. It hasn't been finalized. We don't know for sure if it is going to happen, but rather then react to actual facts,as usual, they got their knickers all up in a bunch over something that hasn't happened yet.

Worse has been the silly hysterics of suggesting if this happens, that it is actually overturned, then democracy ( the lefts favorite word to use when things aren't going their way) comes to an end. Funny, most of Europe still exists, and from what I understand they have much stricter rules on abortion then we do, yet they are still here.

Just to be fair, I am not a fan of abortion. I think instead of abortion we should focus on making it easier for people to adopt or do foster care. Lest you think I don't put my money where my mouth is, we tried to adopt, I was told that because I am a disabled vet that we wouldn't be allowed and we were turned down for foster care because someone got upset by my thought that children in my care shouldn't be engaged in sex I my house, I know , I know, I am just an old prude who has no sense of modern sensibilities...

Back to the hysterics. My favorite one is the silly idea that if this goes through that one of the next things to go would be interracial marriages, because we all know just how evil those of us on the right are, you know rape, pillage and looting is our mantra, with a touch of tyranny and racism for good measure. Whats truly surprising is that they would have any concerns over marriage at all. I thought that marriage was an old white guy institution?

Having said that, following their undeniable wisdom, Justice Clarence Thomas would vote to nullify his own marriage? I am just positive that that would go over real well with all the politicians on either side who are in mixed marriages, not to mention the rest of us who are a product of mixed marriages or are in one ourselves. Would we all be grandfathered in? I am sure there must be a PC word for grandfather but I am too much of a fascist and patriarchal to figure it out. Or would we all be forced into unwanted divorces? Would we only be allowed to marry and reproduce with those that are the same? I know for myself that might be a bit tough.

I recently took a DNA test. I am almost half “North European” but the rest is a bit of a surprise. My fathers side ( he was Cuban) was a mixed bag of Spain, Portugal and, wait for it, African,( no, not south Africa) with just a touch of Native American thrown in and,likely some Jewishness. So tell me, you who are wailing and gnashing at the teeth, how is abolishing mixed marriages going to work or even remotely logical?

Of course it's not logical. That seems to be the common factor with almost anything that the left has gotten hysterical over in the last few years. No actual,or factual, information needed. Just good old fear mongering and lots of emotion.

What I think the real reason for the hysterics has come from, is the idea that it would go back to states for the people to vote on. It has never been federally passed into law, though many states have passed their own versions of legalizing abortion, and that, I believe, is the scary part for them. They are afraid that the vast majority of people would find late term abortions, right up to the moment of birth, abhorrent,which they should, and vote to limit it's use. Thus limiting the lefts influence. That is what they are truly hysterical over.

Free Speech

 

I haven't had a whole lot to write about lately. Correction. There has been way too much madness for my small brain to try and absorb that made writing about any of it almost impossible.

Today I will make an exception for my favorite subject, free speech.

In the last few years I have learned more then I ever wanted to know about the priorities of the donkeys. Their utter hatred for all things that are good and decent, and their intense attacks on all things sacred ,and truly scientific, is almost breathtaking. I can't understand how anyone of any faith can truly support them and yet there are those that do even as all things they believe in are being utterly destroyed by those same donkeys.

Of course it is your right to do so, and to express yourselves, under our first amendment. I am all for it even when I completely disagree with you.

However, because I disagree with you, I am going to speak out when I disagree with whatever is the popular thing going, even if that offends you. That is kind of the point of “free speech.” Not that you agree with everything but that you support the right to have that opinion even if it's repellent to you.

Fine example, and one of the reasons I won't ever vote donkey, are those clips, courtesy of Libs of Tik Tok, that show , in their own words, that the blue haired, multi pierced, gender dysphoric, “teachers” are going to try and continue to spew out their disgusting , grooming, messages to 8 year old's.

While I certainly disagree with what they are trying to do and think that the lot of them should be fired, they still have the right to speak their sad minds. As a parent you can't fight against what you don't know about, better to know what your enemies are doing rather then guess, then you can address it properly.

Rather then censor them, let them speak. If you don't agree with them don't listen to them. Kind of like the idea that if there is something on the idiot box you don't want to watch then you flip the channel and move on to something else. If you think it's offensive speak out but you don't have the right to stop others from viewing.

Another case in point. I once wrote a religious blog. After years of study and research I found that I disagreed with the main religion in this country. I went so far as to explain why and left it at that. I didn't attack anyone's faith, I simply spoke of my own. I lost hundreds of readers and that's OK. With a couple of notable exceptions, most just bowed out in what I consider to be an adult manner. No fuss no insult, just gone.

But today, once again, I see the donkeys and their media monkeys having a total cow over the idea of Elon Musk buying twitter, all because he believes in free speech.

Most of the platforms out there have become censors to everything that the political establishment is against. The donkeys know that that the government is prohibited from censor ship but it hasn't stopped them from getting into bed with all the major platforms and MSM to use their power to censor.

Enter Elon Musk.

He is not beholding to anyone ( though we all know that the MSM monkeys are going to try and paint him as badly as possible) and he has said quite publicly that he wants to restore twitter to the open, non censored, platform that it once was. To the donkeys this is apparently too evil for them to comprehend.

I have watched clip after clip of mostly left leaning donkey types damn near wetting themselves over the idea of him changing twitter. They have suggested that him taking over is tantamount to the end of civilization as we know it, many times, on different networks, they were repeating the same lines over and over.

First, for those who are having said cow, he just bought the company and hasn't done anything with it, as of this writing, so please get your knickers un-bunched and go to your safe space until the scary feeling goes away.

Second, and this one is for everybody, just because he says he's going to do something with the platform doesn't mean he will. I can say I am going to buy a Ferrari and drive it at 140 mph but until I do it is just words.

Third, even if he does make changes, what makes that a bad thing? Freedom of information,an exchange of ideas is somehow bad?

Lastly, he isn't the second coming. He is one man trying to so something to bring back freedom of speech, it's up to the rest of us to fight back as well to assure that it happens.

It truly comes down to control. If the donkeys loose control of the narrative, via the platforms, and the MSM, then they quite possibly loose control in the battle of ideas. That is what they are afraid of. They aren't afraid of him, they are afraid of you comparing ideas and thinking for yourselves.

If you start thinking for yourselves, based on all the information out there, they will loose and they know it, this is what they are truly afraid of , loosing control and all the power that goes with it.`

Would You Defend Your Country?

 

Would you defend your country? If the Chinese decided to invade the US would you be willing to defend it?

There was a poll taken recently asking that very question. The results, while not terribly shocking, was , none the less, sad.

When it was all added up and averaged out only 55 percent of Americans would defend the homeland, the rest would flee or hide. All I can say is wow.

By parties, a large number of demonrats, said that they would flee, though 55 percent said they would fight. With repukelicans the number was up towards 70 percent and independents were at about 60.

By age groups it was even more telling. The vast majority ages 50 and up said that they would defend the homeland, this is the same population that has been involved with Vietnam right through Iraq and Afghanistan, yet most said that they would fight.

Below that age group, 18-34, the vast majority said quite the opposite. They would not fight. The reasoning was based on all the PC “education” that says that we as a nation are evil and racist and not worth defending.

I think about our forefathers, those men who signed up to fight when our nation was attacked at Pearl Harbor. Some of the men were not of legal age yet they lied and did whatever was necessary to be a part of the defense of our country. These are the same young men who stormed the beaches at Normandy and landed on the beaches of Iwo Jima. My own grandfather enlisted at the age of 14 in between WW1 and WW2 and served in places like Panama. He tried to reenlist when WW2 started but was refused because he had 5 kids at the time.

Like many of you I have no desire for war of any kind. I have no interest in going to Europe or Asia anymore then our forefathers did, but I would like to think that if we were attacked on our own soil, that we would show the world what true patriotism is like. But I'm not so sure anymore.

Over the last few weeks we have watched as Ukrainians of all types and ages have fought for their country. What ever you might think about the politics of all of it is irrelevant. For the average person Russia invaded their country and they are going to fight tooth and nail to stop them. That's what patriots do, right, wrong or indifferent, you defend your home against an invader.

From what I understand, the Ukraine government is quite corrupt, as is the Russian government, but the average people are not the government, yet despite the corruption, they fight, not for their government but for their homes and way of life.

As for me, if it comes to it, I will fight as long as I can. We may not be perfect, but our Constitution, our way of life, is worth preserving even with all it's warts and blemishes. While I don't agree with the politics involved I do salute the Ukrainians for standing up for their land and, quite frankly, giving us a lesson on what it takes to sacrifice for your country. Too many here have forgotten.

End Of The Fillibuster

Some time in the next week or two the Donkeys are going to attempt an end run around the Constitution. They want very badly to pass their so called “voter rights” legislation to essentially legalize the federal take over of the election process in this country. However, they know they can't get the 60 votes for it ( never mind that it violates the constitution ) so they need to do an end run. Simply put they want to end the filibuster.

For those of you who don't know, the filibuster is the tool used in the senate to protect the rights of the minority party, it allows one senator or a group of senators to speak to either delay or stop a vote in the senate. It is essentially a tool in place to keep cooler heads prevailing when a piece of legislation is clearly partisan. With out the filibuster the majority only needs to get 51 votes, a simple majority, instead of the required 60. It was first introduced in 1806 but not used much until about 1837 and then was strengthened in the 1970's.

Now the donkeys, led by the chief donkey, want to change this. They want it removed. These are the same donkeys, that when the elephants were threatening to do the same in the mid 2000's, screamed that it would put an end to our “democracy.” I agreed with them then. Ending the filibuster means that the majority party, no matter how slim that majority is, can ram through legislation that in all actuality may not be particularly popular or needed.

So now we have some of those same donkeys screaming that if they don't get rid of the filibuster it will be the end of our democracy. Hypocrites.

The truth is, is that they know they can't pass this voter legislation without destroying the filibuster. They don't have enough votes to legally do it, so they want to change the rules and cheat, as always.

But please understand, this is about more then destroying the filibuster. This is little more then attempt by the donkeys to attempt one party rule. Again ignoring the constitutional battle that would occur if it was passed, if the federal government is in control of the elections, then they become the arbiters of what is allowed and what isn't. We saw what happened in the last “election” now picture that on steroids and for the foreseeable future. We will never again have a legitimate fair election.

But lets even set that aside for the moment. Imagine all the other crazy things that the donkeys have attempted to get through that would tax us into oblivion, such as the BBB, and destroy our economy to an even worse degree then it is already. Think about your freedoms that they would either get rid of or regulate to death. This one move can, and will, effect everyone if they succeed. There would literally be no stopping them, we would be a socialist nation in short order with no one to bail us out but ourselves, and most of us appear to be asleep at the switch or there would be a much louder outcry from all sides.

 

SCOTUS vs Mandate

 

Tomorrow is a big day here in the United States. Today the media and politician types are focused on remembering the idiocy of Jan 6^th of 2020. Tomorrow, Jan. 7 the rest of us may remember it as being the day that American freedom died.

On Jan.7^th SCOTUS will hear arguments both for and against the federal governments stab mandates.

They will decide if the federal government can force private businesses into forcing their employees to get the controversial stabs.

Setting aside the fact that these are proving to be almost useless in preventing the spread of said bug, the issue at hand is much more profound.

If the court rules that the fed can indeed force this upon businesses of 100 or more employees, then it stands to reason that they will go after smaller businesses as well, and once they have accomplished that then they will go after all of us as individuals, there will literally be nothing to stop the federal government from forcing everyone into compliance by whatever means they deem necessary.

Maybe some of you reading this thinks that it's OK for the fed to do this because of your fear of this bug or you have been stabbed already and you're OK with forcing everyone. If that's the case, and it's your right to believe this way, whats next?

Our population is too big, we need to force sterilization or birth control on everyone to control the population because it's a health crisis.

You need to eat only the foods that we say are good for you because it's a health crisis.

You can't speak the truth or go against the accepted government controlled narrative because it could constitute a health emergency. This one is already happening in the background via social media.

We need to force everyone to give up their guns because “gun violence” is a health emergency. That one is already in the works, behind the scene.

But there is nothing to restrict them to health emergencies. Once the government has the right to dictate what we do with our bodies there is nothing they won't be able to do.

We don't want you living in the country because humans are destroying the environment so we are going to mandate that you live in suburbia or the city.

You don't need your own personal vehicle. See environment. So we are going to mandate that you give up your car, which you won't need because you'll be where there is public transportation.

Your religion has to be approved of, and monitored by, the state. Your old way of believing is a threat to mental health of individuals because you actually follow the bible.

These are not far fetched. Once you let the fed override the Constitution and violate your individual right to control your own body, everything else becomes a very real possibility.

We are at a serious crossroad here. We have been for awhile.

We have a set of elected officials, and many more that have not been elected, that want us to become a socialist/communist country. They are throwing everything that they have into this effort, including the mandates. If they win this one, and sadly I think they will, 6-3, they will have accomplished something that will be the envy of every despot and dictator in the world and it won't end with just this mandate, more will follow.

Pray. A lot.

Change The Constitution ?

 

This morning I read a couple of articles that were commenting on a column written concerning the US Constitution, the column suggesting that the constitution isn't working and it needs to be changed to reflect today's world, not the world of 1787. Suggesting that because most Americans have lost faith in the institution of government and those allegedly leading it, that the document needs to be changed

While I too have no faith in the government, regardless of party control, it is not the constitution that is at fault. The fault lies with those so called leaders that fail or out right refuse to follow the constitution that are the problem.

Whether it's 2022 or 1787 tyranny is the same. The faces may change, and some small details might be different but tyranny ,at it's heart, hasn't changed. Our founding fathers knew this, they had lived it.

No, the problem is not with the document, the problem is that for many years that document has not been followed. If it had been we wouldn't even be thinking about it.

The federal government powers were limited to a very few things such as defending the country, coining money and passing laws that were in accordance with the constitution.

The three branches of government, the executive, the legislative and the judicial all had their very specific roles to play and were meant to be checks and balances against one rule tyranny. They were never meant, as we have seen in the last few decades, to over lap.

Most of the power was meant for the individual states to have, not the federal government.

In the beginning they only met for short periods of times and , at best , had a stipend to compensate them for their time. There were no full time politicians.

There was no massive federal government institutions (see the part about limited government) employing 1.5 million workers, there wasn't even a standing army at the time. When the government can go into a partial shut down and lay off 800,000 as “non essential” you know it has become way to big.

For the most part, up until the civil war, the federal government stayed out of the states business and the states left their people alone. Then everything started to change. Not to the degree we see today, but it started there.

Since that time, the constitution has been ignored repeatedly.

Woodrow Wilson is responsible for the creation of the federal reserve, negating the governments responsibilities in creating and backing of our money. Nixon took us off the gold standard and so now our money is virtually worthless.

The “great society” created by Lyndon Johnson put in place what is now a series of massive social programs and institutions, again negating the constitution, that spoke of limited government.

George Bush the younger after 9/1/1 created a bunch of lettered security agencies to allegedly spy on our enemies, and apparently on us, that has gone from a few to something along the lines of 16 or so.

We have allowed our government to run us all into pointless wars ( none declared by congress since WW2) for decades now, the last time there was any real opposition was during Vietnam but the government kept it up anyhow until they were forced to quit.

There are countless examples of this kind of government expansions from both parties, more then I can write here, but that's not the only issue.

We have three branches of government, as I mentioned before, and all of them have a purpose of which none of them seem to be following.

The executive is supposed to uphold the laws and defend/ follow the constitution.

The legislative is supposed to make law and provide for spending.

The judicial is to uphold laws and determine whether or not a law is constitutionally sound.

All of this is supposed to be with the consent of the people.

Instead we have the executive making laws with a stroke of a pen without the approval of the legislative and completely ignoring things, such as the border and national defense, of which they are charged to do.

We have a legislature that is so out of touch with their constituents, that instead of doing what they are told to by the people they represent, they instead go with whatever either the big corporations want or their party demands no matter how destructive it is to the country.

The judicial has become a kangaroo court for what ever is popular and totally ignores the fact that they are supposed to interpret laws according to the constitution not their feelings.

The problem is not the constitution, the problem is those elected, by the people, are not doing their job of upholding the will of the people or the words of the constitution.

So rather then “fix” the constitution, which isn't the issue, we need to go back to it.

We need to get rid of all the useless government agencies that tax and regulate us to death.

We need to hold all our representatives feet to the fire, if they are not doing as we wish, remember they work for us, then they should be recalled and fired.

Term limits should be in place, no more lifetime politicians.

There should be put in place an amendment that would hold the judicial to following the constitution as it is written rather then by feelings and there should be a system in place to fire them if it becomes obvious that they won't.

The executive should be limited to only using executive orders in an emergency and even then it should go through some sort of review by the other two branches to assure it is constitutionally sound.

I am sure that there are many more suggestions that could be made but really until “we the people” stand up and demand change and a return to the constitution will anything come of this.

The powers that be certainly aren't going to give it up willingly.

So the problem is not with the constitution, the problem is with those that refuse to follow or enforce it.

Blood On Their Hands

 

I am not one to be very shy about what I believe whether it be religious or political. I have, in these days of mass censorship, used code words that anyone with a thinking mind could figure out. Today there will be no code words. I am going to be blunt.

A friends husband died today. He was admitted to a hospital with pneumonia and tested positive for Covid . He was then transferred to a larger hospital. Where apparently they did nothing for him except putting him on a ventilator. No Ivermectin, no Hydrochlorquine ( not sure on either spelling) both proven drugs used for respiratory issues. No daily exercise, no sunlight, just locked away from his wife and friends until he died. His wife and daughter had been stabbed, he was not able to take the stab. He died.

Why? Not because of not being stabbed, no he died because stabbing is the only thing this BS administration, and alleged medical experts will allow to be used.

There was no need for him to die. There has been no reason for many others who have died. If the protocols that have been used for decades were still being used then hundreds of thousand here in this country and millions more around the world would still be alive.

The blame for this does not go to unstabbed. Many of the unstabbed, to include myself, have had the bug and now are immune to it. We don't need the stab. It's not terribly effective anyhow.

The blame goes completely on Dr. Fauci and his minions, as well as Joe Biden and his cronies. It also goes out to all the lobbyist and the big pharma who have done nothing but push the stab. A Stab that has killed and maimed hundreds of thousands that we know about, which is also blood on them.

THEY ALL HAVE BLOOD ON THIER HANDS.

May God have mercy on their black corrupt souls, if there is a hell, I hope they all find themselves there in the most hottest cavern possible.

NY Detention

 

I would imagine by now that you have heard of the detention facilities in Australia. These are the places that those who have contracted the bug, or have just been in contact with someone who has it,have been forcibly detained.

Then there are those who have been minding their own business and have been arrested for either not having a mask on, outside, and while smoking, or they were outside the limits of a distance forced upon them by their government. This is real life now and guess what? Just as the prophet foretold, it's coming here.

Yesterday Boston got in on the act and announced that they are now going to do the whole forced stab thing in order to do anything indoors. Combine that with NYC mandates and you have quite a section of the North East involved with this idiocy.

In NYC there has been numerous reports of folks defying these mandates and being arrested in various eating establishment, for the crime of no mask or stab, and for the nerve of wanting to eat. First they loose their jobs and then they can't buy food. All because they refuse to get stabbed, a stab that doesn't work very well, for a bug 99.6 percent of the population survives.

But it's about to get a lot worse, starting with NY state assembly.

In an article I read yesterday. NY has legislation waiting in the wings that would allow for anyone from the governor down to medical personal, to essentially detain anyone of whom “authorities” deem to be a medical threat to society. They could essentially lock you away for 60 days and, upon further review, indefinitely.

I will provide you a link. In that link there will be another link that will let you read the actual legislation. It is scary. It hasn't passed yet but, allegedly, it's expected in come up in 2022.

One of the things that I have learned in my shortish life time is that if it happens in NY or California, it eventually spreads to all parts of the country, especially those that are blue.

I can't imagine it spreading much beyond the blue spots in this country but the fact that it's even being considered here in what was once a free nation is down right scary.

So to my friends in the east, particularly in New England, either get out while you can, or organize and get loud and don't let this happen to you. There is plenty of room out here in fly over country for you.

Lights And No Fear

 

Last week I went on a bit of an adventure. It probably wouldn't be a big deal for most people but it was for me because it involved a massively large amount of people. I don't do large masses of people, if I can help it, but I made an exception in this case. In all fairness I could only deal with it for a few hours and I won't lie and tell you I had a great time (see my above stated dislike for lots of people) but it actually isn't the point of this missive.

It was what I witnessed while there that was truly an eye opening experience.

Here in Missouri we have, in the south western part of the state , a small city called Branson. The city is known as the Christmas Tree City and it is about as family friendly a place as you could imagine. They have museums and theme parks, as well as the old city, filled with shopping. Is has been referred to as the Las Vegas of the region, without the casinos or the call girls. It is arguably one of the best know tourist areas in this area and literally people from all over the world go there to visit and enjoy all that it offers.

Probably the best known park there is Silver Dollar City. It has an old town feel, many shops, several theaters for live shows, and rides galore. It is also unabashedly Christian run.

Starting in July they start putting up millions of lights and displays for the Christmas holidays, and start lighting it all up the first of November. People come from all over the country, and the world, to see this display. This year we were among them.

I don't know how many vehicles that their parking lots can hold, but to say thousands would not be an exaggeration. The fact that they have multiple large parking areas should tell you as much all by itself.

As we were walking up to the entrance (that was a much longer walk then it sounds) I was looking at license plates and I saw plates from all over the country. Predominately the surrounding states but still there were folks from as far away as Minnesota. These were just the ones in my view.

Then we got to the main entrance.

Having lived in a blue state for most of the lock downs I was waiting for someone to tell me to put on a mask or ask about stab status. Crickets. We still had to go through security and have our bags checked but not a word about anything else.

As I mentioned before, I don't like crowds, but when put into that situation I tend to find a wall or something to have my back to and I observe.

What I observed in a normal world wouldn't seem all that strange. People were having a good time. People were smiling ( no masks ,with a few exceptions ) and laughing, even when standing in line for rides or food. Folks were genuinely enjoying themselves.

There were all the colors of the rainbow (people) circulating about and several languages being spoken. People were generally friendly and polite. Did I mention there were thousands of people there? All at the same time?

No one was living in fear. There were no “Karens” yelling or lecturing people. It was the world as I remember before everyone started giving in to the fear porn.

Now the powers that be are talking about a new variety. The media has hyped it, again. It seems they don't want the fear to ever end.

What I saw there was an extreme lack of fear and it gives me hope for the future.

Seeing so many people together, having a great time and not oozing fear made it all worth while.

I still don't like crowds. Probably never will. But it was worth it just to see people being free.

By the way the lights were great.

As The Prophets Foretold

 

There was a thing going around a few years that suggested if you wanted to make any statement amusing just add the phrase “as the prophets foretold.” like, the sun is shining today “just as the prophets foretold.” Kind of silly , but it was funny at the time. I know, I have a strange sense of humor but it's not so funny anymore.

Almost two years ago now, after the national emergency was declared, and states went into lock downs “to flatten the curb” many a prediction was made by many “prophets” giving scenarios of what was going to occur. Most were considered “conspiracy theories” by the alleged “experts” and yet look how many have actually come to pass.

Lock downs were only going to be temporary, 14 days to flatten the curve, yet, in many places “as the prophets foretold” they are still under perpetual lock downs.

There would never be a need for a passport to prove you are “stabbed” yet “as the prophets foretold” in NYC and other blue places, you can't do anything without the stab port, including life saving surgeries.

There would never be a stab mandate and yet “as the prophet foretold” many states are forcing it in order to work, and the beltway gang is trying to force it on everyone. Many in the medical world are being threatened with job loss if they even write their opinions of these mandates, or other alternatives to stabs, on social media. The police , military and first responders, are being fired by the thousands because they refuse the mandatory stab, causing massive problems in the cities and towns, again just “as the prophets foretold.”

Thousands that are getting the stab ( just in this country alone) are dying, and many, hundreds of thousands, are having serious side effects, as reported by the alleged head honchos themselves yet these facts are being ignored to continue the fear mongering, get stabbed or else, just “as the prophets foretold.”

The media, the left, and some on the right, are ignoring actual science. Thousands of credible sources, and reported by many studies, all of them peer reviewed and published,show natural immunity is better then any stab, and that masks are useless. But rather then report these facts they have stuck to the narrative of fear and mandates just “as the prophets foretold.”

Now,as the last version of the bug goes down into the night, the next variation has arrived “just as the prophets foretold” it would. Just in time to screw with the holidays and to reintroduce a state of fear and panic on the masses. Doesn't matter that it appears to be mild, according to the Doctor who discovered it, nope, we must fear it as we have been led to fear everything else over the last two years, all of which was “foretold by the prophets.”

In Europe many thousands have been protesting. New Zealand and Australia as well. Here in the USA, with a few notable exceptions, it has mostly been quiet. Why is that? Have we finally come to a place where the vast majority of people want the belt way to run their lives? I know there are many lawsuits out there against all of these draconian measures but time has proven that the court system has become more about politics then the truth.

The “prophets” predict that America will fall to tyranny/communism under the guise of health emergencies. I hope they are wrong but so far they are batting 100.

This only ends when we stop it ourselves, no one is coming to save us, “just as the prophets foretold.”

Rejoice And Be Happy

 

Over the last few days I have noticed that a lot of people are just hell bent to be unhappy.

Articles and news stories filled with people going out of their way to disparage Thanksgiving.

Essentially trying to tell all of us that we should be unhappy and ungrateful for the blessings that we have in this nation, focusing rather on the sins of the past, in a time and era where none of us were alive.

They are to be pitied for not recognizing what they have .

With Thanksgiving now past and the official start of Hanukkah tonight ,and the Christmas season in full swing, I'd like to give some of those unhappy campers a piece of friendly advice. Only you can decide to be happy. I can't do it for you and neither can anyone else. If you are determined to be miserable you will succeed.

For me and my family this is our favorite time of the year, from fall starting, to ending in the New Year, we try to be happy and grateful for what we have. I will grant you that this past year has been a hard one, my family and I have had to make some hard choices, but in the long run we are still blessed.

One very common theme to be found in the Bible is the idea of rejoicing.

Deut. 14:26 speaking of the Israelite people going to celebrate their festivals “….And you shall feast there in the presence of the Lord your God and REJOICE with your household.” This command is repeated over and over sometimes replacing rejoice with happy. See chapter 12:7,12,18 and chapter 16:13-15.

There are many more verses like these but I think you get the point.

God told the people to rejoice and be happy before they even had their own nation! He knew their collective flaws and tendencies and what they would do before hand and yet he commanded them to be happy!

I would humbly submit to you that despite everything that has come before and no matter what may come in the days ahead we should, at the very least, try to let the light of happiness shine through.

Happiness and rejoicing are contagious and that is one contagion I would love to see spread.

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to all of you.

This Is America

A true story. Not just a true story but a true story as observed by this humble writer. This is short story that shows what America actually is compared to what we are told to believe.

I went to the barbershop today to get a haircut, nothing unusual about that, it was the conversation that I was hearing while waiting my turn.

Two men were talking, best I could tell they had never met before, the older of the two, who was also waiting his turn, was about my age, while the other, who was getting his haircut, might have been thirty.

Apparently they were from the same neck of the woods in Florida. They talked about towns and

schools that they both knew and went to and they talked about what had brought them to this area of Missouri. By the time they both left they were calling each other cousin. I watched while they continued talking in the parking lot, they appeared to have swapped cell numbers and they parted with a hug that spoke family.

Here is what I didn't tell you, the man who was my age was as white as the driven snow. He could have been the poster child for what folks might consider “redneck” and what the MSM would suggest is a racist.

The other man was as black as midnight, dressed to the nines, he might have been the poster boy for a new boys band and surely would be seen as a BLM supporter.

Yet....and this is a big yet....they left each other as family.

This, my friends, is the real America.

The race hating that they are showing on the idiot box is NOT the real story. The real story exists outside of the DC beltway and the coastal elite cities and is epitomized by these two men.

This is America.

Happy Thanksgiving. 

Communist NWO 2

 

A week or so ago I posted my viewpoint that we are coming under a Marxist/NWO regime here in the USA. I gave my reasoning, via observation, and then posted it to my blog and put the link on FB. I did it that way so that it wouldn't get censored or deleted by the fascist overlords that control the page.

Today I am going to add to my view but I won't be hiding my opinion because I think for way to long many of us, who are conservative or at least libertarian, have been hiding, hoping this is all going to go away, well it's not. Not unless we all come together and stand up for ourselves. Otherwise this is only going to get worse.

Last week the DOJ stated that they were going to use the full power of the government to go after parents who speak up and against the current politically correct agendas at school board meetings.

Are you listening? The DOJ is going to come after you because you don't like the idea of CRT being taught in your schools. You are going to be labeled a domestic terrorist and possibly find yourself in the cross hairs of the FBI, if you oppose the idea of boys being in girls bathrooms or you find that the porno they are passing off as ways to help boys and girls understand their sexuality is morally repugnant. If you are against all that and you use your God given rights to speak up, you just might get jailed for it. Think about this, you can't speak up unless it's government approved!!

I don't know what else I can say to persuade you. The last donkey used the IRS to target conservative groups, this donkey (or should I say his handlers) are going full out communist and fascist to destroy our country. They want you to be taxed for every mile you drive, they want the IRS to have access to your bank account. They are going out of their way to open our borders wide and punish the BP for doing their jobs.

The list goes on and on and quite frankly I am tired of trying to persuade people to see what is right in front of them. At one time I had hundreds of readers, now I only have a few because apparently the blunt truth was too much. At least no one will ever be able to say I didn't speak out when and where I could.

I end this with a link to my last post, if you think I'm nuts , do nothing, but if you think even for a second, that I , and others like me, could be right, then do something about it. Take the chance and speak out, don't let us go down to the dust bin of history.

Here is the link. https://simplemindedsense.blogspot.com/2021/10/communist-nwo.html

Communist NWO

 

At the risk of offending some folks I am going to make a rather blunt statement.

If you support, or approve, of all the madness that is currently taking place by the donkey party, and their Rhino backers ,you are supporting communism. All the people that the donkey in chief has surrounded himself with are Marxists. His latest pick for banking, literally, graduated from a soviet university and has been quite vocal about praising the soviet style system in both the USSR and China, go look it up, it's quite true.

It has been said that if you don't study/learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.

The Soviet Union and the Nazi's had a few things in common, as have many of the failed communist states since, the biggest of these was a total purging of all those that they considered a threat to them or the parties goals. This should sound familiar to you because this is whats happening today, right here in the USA, even as I write this..

A short history lesson for you, brought to you by uncle Iggy's condensed version...

Back before Hitler invaded Poland he signed an non aggression treaty with the Soviet Union. Stalin decided to take advantage of that and began purging his military of all his experienced officers because they were considered a threat to him and the communist party and so they were “removed.” The lucky ones went to Siberia the rest were executed. He was so paranoid of loosing his power that he almost lost his entire empire because of that purge, and a lack of experienced veterans, when Hitler decided to invade after all. As a side note, that is relevant to this discussion, they also purged any one and everyone that they considered a threat to them, this included doctors, lawyers, teachers professors, police, anyone who was considered an intellectual or who could think for themselves and yes that included preachers and Rabbi's. Hitler had done the same he just did most of it before he started the war.

The parallel today is that our military is being purged. Men and women are leaving rather then getting a forced stab, even in the light that they could get a dishonorable discharge, and loose all benefits. For many years now, this goes back to the dark ages when I was still in, we have witnessed as our military leaders have become political monsters rather then war fighters, we have a very dangerous enemy in China and yet our so called “leaders” are more concerned with being woke and kissing the backsides of the special interests groups, and politicians, then they are about preparing for, and winning, a very real possible war. Instead they jail those who question them or those that have the “wrong” political views.

The Soviets as well as the Nazi's nationalized their police thus giving control to the government.

Communist led BLM as well as the communist in the local and federal government have been pushing to de fund the police, all the while calling for a federalization of the police nation wide, controlled by the folks in DC, Brown shirts or KGB anyone?

You have a purge going on of medical personnel as well. From administrators, doctors, nurses all the way to the janitor washing the floor. That the donkey's in charge are demanding they be sacked or stabbed. Some won't be able to draw unemployment depending on which communist area they live.

Any one over the age of thirty or so will also likely remember that the federal government, particularly when the donkeys are in charge, have been trying to take total control of the medical industry in this country. So they create a problem,( say a virus) then have forced stabs, (alleged solution) which many do not want, leading to staff shortages and viola the donkeys bring in the cavalry, what's left of the woke military, and save the day. Government gets control.

Perhaps you might think I am over blowing this. Perhaps you believe me to be wrong. That's OK because in my small world, you still have freedom to disagree, but try that with the current mob and see what happens to you. Big tech and the donkeys are all in bed together and they want this massive purge to happen. Why? It's easier to control the population if they have control of everything., including your body.

Ask yourself this, if you don't believe that this is a communist take over and a purge of those who dissent, why the mandates? Why force people into taking something that they don't want into their bodies? Why put literally millions in a position where they either have to get stabbed with no knowledge of what the long term effects are or loosing everything and starving to death. The stabs aren't remotely working any better then any other flu shot and has shown a huge amount of adverse reactions, so if this isn't about control of the population, why the mandates?

Maybe I should use another word other than communist...perhaps globalist would be a better word?

The health director from Australia said to the effect that nothing was going to go back to normal in this New World Order. She is not alone in saying that. Other alleged leaders have suggest that it's a great reset. The only way to do that is with dictatorial control ( using the virus as an excuse in this case) as communists have done for over a hundred years.

They want a NWO. We are in their way. Most thinking Americans don't want to be told by anyone, donkey or elephant, what to do. Many of us are vocal about our opinions. Honestly most of us would prefer to be left alone by government. Many of us read and understand the risks, either way, and don't want to be forced, but that doesn't suit the agenda. If you can't control the people you can't control the narrative or make the forced changes you want.

What I think is going to happen is eventually they are going to try and force everyone into compliance knowing that many of us will continue to resist, they will take our homes, keep us from food, and any kind of health care, until we either submit or die. I also believe that when the stab starts killing people in the thousands because their immune system is compromised, they will point the finger at all of us “resistors” and give license to the population to do with us as they will.

This is my belief. The communist did it to their people, as did the Nazi's. The Jews saw themselves as good Germans and wound up being nearly exterminated because they ignored what was happening. Is history going to repeat itself? Time will tell.

I hope I am wrong
