How I Research and What is Just Opinion

 For those of you who know me, you know that I try to research what I rant about. At least enough to have a working knowledge. There is a myriad of ways to do research. One is to go online and use Google, which is a liberal owned search engine. There is Bing, also liberal owned. There is going to Wikipedia, which no self-respecting researcher would ever use for facts. When I went to college, I used just about any source that ended in .edu. Those, unfortunately, are also biased toward the left.

Those are the online ways. What about a library? Yes, excellent sources for hard copy research sources, if you want to go through reams of pages of outdated encyclopedias, dictionaries, and other research material. I don't normally want to spend that much time on things unless it is researching history of some sort. The library does have something that I use a lot of, though. Books. I have an extensive library of my own that contains such rubbish as: The Constitution of the United States and the Amendments, The Federalist Papers, The Anti-Federalist Papers, The Federalist Farmer, Madison's notes on the Continental debates, and other such rot.

There is also things such as mass media news sources. You know, the liberal sources such as CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, FoxNews, OAN, NewsMax, etc. All of which have their own bias. Along with these there are the (shudder, shudder) talk show hosts like Mark Levin, Andrew Wilkow, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, etc. These, too, have their own bias, albeit more trustworthy than Chris Cuomo, Jimmy Kimmel, Jake Tapper, etc. I have quoted some of these when I believed them to be spot on.

Lastly, there are people that I talk to that seem to know what's happening. People like immigrants that came from Ukraine, El Salvador, Cuba, Mexico, Korea, Germany, Israel, Palestine, etc. (Yes, I have spoken directly with people from each of these countries.) The ones that make the most sense are those that have lived through what we only hear about from our 'news' sources, and, at times, they tell a much different story than what we hear.

There are also those people that have researched on their own. I know quite a few that if they say it, I believe it without question. Others, I do a little looking on my own. You always have to take hear-say with a little salt. So far, I haven't been steered too far from the truth.

Then, there are the (shudder, shudder) conspiracy theorist types. I know, I am one of those, right? If you look at my record, more than 90% of my 'conspiracy theories' have been proven to be truth. So, I do listen to each one of these people to have an idea of what others are thinking. Right now, no one is thinking good things. About anything. The economy is going to go into a deep, deep recession or even a depression that rivals 1929. Is this this actually theory after all that our fearful leader, the mentally challenged geriatric in the White House, has done over the last 18 to 20 months? I can see it. I've been told that one of the biggest investors that will tell you to always buy is now selling off his stocks. Doesn't sound good.

The theory that intrigues me the most, though, is this: the super-volcano that we know and love, Yellowstone, is going to erupt. Not sometime but soon. How soon? How about December 25, 2022, at 7:08 (I would guess AM because most of the world uses a 24-hour clock). Why does he think this? Life, at its core, is math. Everything comes down to numbers. Numerology has been used for centuries for everything. Math is used in everything from cyphers to molecules to DNA.

What does this have to do with Yellowstone blowing up half the United States and covering over half the world in ash? Numbers. I've listened to this man spout off his theories over the last seven and half years and he hasn't been too far off on most of what he has told me. I don't know how it works. I haven't studied numerology at all. I've always put it down with things like the horrorscope and Ouija board or Tarot cards. (Although, I have dabbled in Runes and have been remarkably accurate on a lot of things.)

To go further into his prophecy. Yellowstone has had some major natural crises the last year or so. This is leading up to a sudden, and unexpected, eruption of the largest volcano on Earth. What happens then? Since it will happen after the election but before the new Congress takes power, the radicals in charge will declare a national emergency, which it most definitely will be. In doing this, they will suspend the Constitution and martial law will take over, the new Congress will not be convened, and the mentally challenged geriatric will be taken out of office due to his ineptitude. That will leave Kameltoe, the Hoe, in charge. We all know she doesn't have the sense of a rock so she will be replaced. Is Nancy up to it? That drunken has-been will be taken out somehow. Who does that leave? Care to take a guess?

How about our old friend, the Great Pretender, himself: Barack Hussein Obama. We all have an idea that he's actually the one running the show, anyway. He'll come back to make things right. And America will welcome him with open arms just as they did when he ran the first time. It doesn't matter that he's a fake, a charlatan, an impostor. He has charm, charisma, power, and, of course, he's multi-racial. People will say he's black but having only one parent that is black doesn't make you that. Don't forget, his mother what whiter than the new fallen snow. Numerology says that Barry is the Anti-Christ. That he will rise up out of nowhere and become the false messiah and lead the world into the Apocalypse.

Because of the ash in the air, the sun won't be able to warm the Earth. Food will become scarce. Then, again, is that any surprise? After all, we have a food shortage now because of the Biden Anti-American policies enacted. America will become a battleground. We will be invaded by our enemies with little resistance from our weakened military. UN forces will become a common sight. Resistance fighters will do what they can but, hunting rifles, carbines with limited mags, small arms, etc. will be no match for UN, Russian, Chinese, North Korean, and Middle Eastern arms and maintenance. America will fall into chaos then into oblivion. The New World Order will take over. The end.

Sounds pretty far-fetched, doesn't it? Or does it? This is exactly what the far-left radicals want. They don't want a free America. They want an enslaved, impoverished, beaten down, taken-down-a-notch-or-three America. We will suffer more than ever before for the sins of our fathers if the left has anything to do about it. They don't realize that they, too, are guilty, if not more so. They, too, will suffer. They may even be the first to be gotten rid of by the invaders. Traitors are not well thought of in any regime. If a person is willing to sell out their country of birth, their brothers and sisters, what will keep them from betraying the enemies of that country? Once a person is known as to betray, they are never trusted by anyone with any sense.

So, it's up to you, my dear readers, to believe it not. I am not saying that the above scenario is what will come to be, only giving one person's thoughts on what they believe may happen. Nothing is written in stone. Well, the Ten Commandments were but we all know what the left did with that. History is done and cannot be changed but the future is what we make it. Will it be a bright and sunny day, or will all hell break loose and a dystopian world the likes of which no fiction writer could even imagine come into play?

We are Americans. We have fought tyranny around the globe (across the flat earth for all you flat earthers out there). We have been through hell and back and made it, thrived, and helped the world, even after devastating circumstances of our own. A revolution, a war to keep our independence, wars to gain land, wars to end tyranny, wars to get to a bargaining table, wars for oil, wars against terrorism. We've endured internal strife with a civil war, for civil rights, gang wars, terrorism on our own soil, riots. We have endured and still survive. We can overcome anything. As long as we fight TOGETHER. The old cliché, united we stand, divided we fall, stands true. If we can re-unite, become one country again, we will overcome the darkness ahead of us. But WE MUST UNITE. As Sir William Wallace said to Robert Bruce before he was betrayed by him, “Unite us. Only you can rule Scotland. But you MUST UNITE US.”

The left has no intention of doing this. It is their everything that we stay divided. As long as we are fighting amongst ourselves, they still have control. We must come together. We must become that One Nation, Under God, Indivisible. We must! If we are to endure, if we are to survive what is coming (whatever that is), if we are to continue to be that one last beacon of freedom, we have to do it together. All of us.

The Self Destruction of the Human Race

Humanity, the species that was given dominion over the Earth and all that was on it by God. The Creator also gave humanity free will which brought about our expulsion from Eden. What else did the great originator of life give to humans? Pride, lust, covetousness, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth. For a supposedly omniscient being I don't think he/she thought that one through too thoroughly. Even I, a mere mortal with limited knowledge of the cosmos, can see far enough into the future to realize that the combination of emotions and thought patterns that have been given to humans is a recipe for self annihilation. All you have to do is listen to what is called news and it is plainly obvious that the human race is bent on self-destruction.

Let us not put all the blame on modern man, though. If you are a Christian, and most of the world is today, all you need do is read Genesis. Satan, disguised as a serpent, convinced Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, then to talk Adam into doing the same. Ah, deceit. Granted, that came from the Great Liar. And Eve, being pretty gullible and innocent, took that nasty serpent at his word. Adam was the same. They didn't know any better. Innocence can be so damning.

One small step forward from the expulsion would be the story of Cain and Able. Uh, oh! Here comes even more treachery. This time between men and a lot more bloody. The beginning of mortal crime – murder. Covered up by lying. Oh, what a tangled web we weave. And just think, the Holy Bible is filled from front to back with lies, treachery, murder, thievery, and all other kinds of mortal crimes. Even the Messiah, Jesus Christ, was crucified by his own people because of lies while a real criminal was set free. Sounds a little like our modern day court system.

According to Jewish history, The Jewish diaspora started with the Assyrian conquest and continued with the Babylonian conquest when the Tribe of Judah was exiled to Babylonia in the 6^th century BC (I refuse to be politically correct and be offended by religious references). Christianity started with the birth of Jesus of Nazareth some 2100 years ago. I make these references for examples. Most of the world's population is now Christian yet that religious order is actually fairly young.

I do not profess to be Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, or any other organized, main stream religion. Nor will I downgrade or disrespect anyone's beliefs just because those beliefs are not in accord with my own. I believe that whatever makes you happy is fine with me, just don't force me to believe as you do and I won't force you to believe like I do. I just want people to have an open mind and hear what other people think and believe without judgment. I am using Christianity and Judaism as a way of explanation and example only at this time. There are other religions and belief systems that will be used later.

There have been more wars fought in the name of God than for any other reason since the Middle Ages. The Crusades are a good example of that. Here we have the Roman Catholic Church waging war against the Muslim Turks. Why? To protect pilgrims going to the Holy Land. The only problem with that is that Jerusalem was situated in an Arab region. It wasn't until Israel was recognized as a sovereign state in the late 1940's that it became the Christian-Judaeo land that it is today. Even though it is where Christians believe that the Christ was born and raised, the area was Palestinian. Was the Catholic Church wrong for waging war against these people? Especially since they were only protecting what was theirs? It is a moot point now, it's all done and over with. Kind of. The Israelis and Palestinians are still waging war against each other.

Islam has waged jihad against the world since its inception just after 1000 AD. Death to the Infidels! The Quran, from what I understand, is pretty much what the Old Testament is. Death to all nonbelievers and ours is the only true and correct belief system. There are rules that have to be followed and if they aren't, well, too bad, you die a horrible death at the hands of the holy ones. Christians don't want to remember that part of the Book.

Even within the Christian faith there are divisions. Catholicism, Protestant, Mormon, Seventh Day Adventist, Jehovah's Witness, Methodist, Baptist, Southern Baptist, Organized and Re-Organized... the list goes on and on. Let us not forget the Orange and the Green. Protestant against Catholic in Ireland. Each denomination has its own belief system. The most humorous thing about all these religious wars between Christians is that they all believe in the same God, the same Holy Trinity, the same Heaven and Hell. The only differences are the pomp and circumstance. Yet there have been wars.

The Jewish people have been persecuted since the beginning of time, I think. Everyone has been against them. Over the millennia they have learned how to protect themselves. Instead of running away from slavery and/or persecutors, they have learned to stand and fight. Especially after the Holocaust (which, by the way, DID happen for all those non-believers out there). Theirs is not an offensive role but a defensive one. All they want is to be left alone and keep a tiny piece of land in the middle of Arab country that contains their most holy city, Jerusalem. Would it be so much to ask to just let them have it?

As stated above, Islam has waged jihad against everyone for the last 1100 years. As the youngest religious order, I really don't think they have a leg to stand on. As with Christianity, there are different orders of this ancient thinking religion and they make war between themselves as well. And, they kill off their own for things that shouldn't even be worried about. Death to gays. Death to adulterers. Death to non-believers. Death to those that eat pork. Death, death, death. Islam, the religion of peace.

Are religious beliefs so ingrained into people's brains that they are willing to die for them? Is any one religion any better than the others? Every religion preaches peace, except Islam, yet one of the major parts of each is to kill others (at least in part; most religious orders today don't believe in killing off the opposition as they once did). Even today there are religious wars; the jihad against all infidels more commonly called the war against terrorism. Hitler killed off Christians and Jews by the millions. Religion has been the cause of more mass extermination of mankind than even greed yet each religion preaches peace. Where is that peace? Where is the tolerance of other's beliefs? In my opinion such things don't exist within any religious thought process.

Greed is the only other reason for wars. Greed of land since the beginning of recorded history. Rome wanted to rule the known world and almost achieved that goal. England, also, wanted to rule all it could and succeeded in conquering lands around the globe. City States of Greece, tribes of ancient civilizations, the Celts, the Normans, the Vikings; all fought to conquer other lands. Even the Indians of the western hemisphere fought each other over land.

Untold millions have died over the millennia at the order of their rulers just so those men of power could gain more. Look at those ancient kingdoms now. Rome is but a city in Italy. England's holdings have diminished to a handful of countries with complete control over only that tiny island resting in the Atlantic Ocean. The Normans, Celts and Vikings have all but disappeared from the face of the Earth. Empires rise and fall across the centuries never lasting very long in the fabric of time. Yet, those that died for those empires believed they were doing what was right and that their rulers, their kingdoms, would last forever. Nothing lasts forever.

What of Germany and Hitler's great ideals of ruling the world with his master race? That ended well for him, didn't it? And what of the great Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? Now a conglomerate of independent nations. Empires, countries, entire regions of continents are conquered and lost over and over again. All the while killing off millions. Isn't this a self-destructive way of thinking? Or is it just population control?

As you can see, our self-destructive tendencies started with the evolution of homo sapiens. Even those very first of mankind were killers. It is theorized that modern humans exterminated the Neanderthals. It is very possible. Mankind has feared what it doesn't know since intelligent thought evolved. Mankind believes that what they don't know will kill them. Why has the government kept secret the existence of alien life? Why has the Church denied the existence of life on other worlds? Fear. Well, fear and egotism. What man fears needs to die before it kills us. Those early humans, the homo sapiens, feared what they didn't understand.

Some scientist theorize that Neanderthal and Homo sapiens co-inhabited and even interbred. Others don't think they lived during the same time period. Still others believe that we evolved from them. No matter how you look at it, something caused the extermination of one species and left the other to survive. Homo sapiens' higher intelligence would account for better survival abilities and thought processes of how to do away with others.

We are killers at our core. Over hundreds of thousands of years that is what we have done to survive, kill. Only, we don't, and haven't, killed just to survive. Mankind has killed out of greed, lust, envy, anger. Sometimes we kill for no reason whatsoever other than to just see someone, or something, else die. That is our self-destructive nature.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. There is so much truth in that statement it is almost terrifying. Take a look at the political arena today. The hatred shown by the liberals toward Donald Trump is so bad that it has gotten violent. Politicians have been shot, harassed, accosted, humiliated. Elected officials have spoken openly of violence against conservatives, even threatening death. All for more power.

Governments and politicians make laws that do not pertain to themselves. The government is all powerful and is above the law. I'm not just talking nationally and I'm not just talking elected officials. Ever hear of the blue veil of secrecy? You know, the brother's code among lawmen? It doesn't matter what a lawman does he/she will be protected against discovery because all other lawmen will not say anything against them. Hazzard County is alive and well in these United States. Boss Hogg and Roscoe P. Coletrain are on the job! But, how does this pertain to our self-destruction?

Corruption is one of biggest forms of self-destruction. It is the powerful against the powerless. Millions die because of the powerful in many different ways. While the elite wine and dine extravagantly, the peasant starves. While the elite are protected by walls, gates and guns, the poor are left to the wolves. The Bolshevik Revolution of Russia is a prime example of what can happen when the poor finally get tired of the rich. The Romanov family was executed by the rebels because of their extravagance and not caring about the people they ruled over. Granted, communism wasn't much better for them but at least everyone was poor.

Back before modern technology and instant information, it would take days or weeks for information to travel. If the President sneezed wrong on the East Coast it may take a couple of weeks for the people in the West to hear about it. Was there corruption back then? Of course there was. As long as there is humanity there will be corruption. Was it as bad as it is today? I don't believe so. In the days when corruption would have been much harder to detect, it was less prevalent than it is today with instant communication. When Trump farts in the Oval Office at 02:30, people in South Africa know it by 02:45. Why is it that politicians think that their corrupt ways are kept secret better today than they were before Al Gore invented the internet and cell phones with cameras came along?

People will still lie. That is why. If you don't like someone, lie about them. Tell some ungodly, horrific lie about them that cannot, or it is extremely hard to, be proved or disproved. The public is nothing more than bunch of idiotic sheeple that will believe whatever is told to them by the people in power. If lying doesn't work, just call them racist, xenophobic, bigots, misogynistic, etc. That will get them. What does this all come to? People destroying other people for other reason than they don't like them. We are destroying ourselves over nothing more than emotional prejudice.

We have prisons full of people that made mistakes, from simple, unintended infractions to premeditated murders with a full spectrum in-between. Why? Because humanity is humane. We incarcerate law breakers no matter how insane the broken law is. We refuse to kill the killer but we will drive him/her insane with boredom for twenty to life. We incarcerate the weed smoker because he/she wants to self-medicate or just chill and destroy the refrigerator. Justice is not just because it doesn't matter who is right or wrong, who is innocent or guilty, only what can be proven to the satisfaction of a judge or jury and that has come under scrutiny lately with the Brett Kavanaugh accusations.

Here in the US today it can be seen everywhere. The elitist ruling class push for gun laws to disarm the people, demand that there not be a border wall to keep out undesirables, and want economic equality all while they are protected by walls and guns and huge bank accounts. They don't want to save the people from harm, they want to do away with those pesky little vermin that get in the way of their power. What they don't understand is that once the poor are gone, there will be no one to lord their power over, thus becoming powerless themselves. Just as humanity doesn't realize that once we are done destroying our home (planet Earth) and each other, there will be nothing left. Oxymoron in its finest form. We will destroy ourselves to make things better for ourselves.

I am totally surprised that the human race has lasted as long as it has. There is so much hate, greed, envy, and lust in the world today. People killing each other over nothing. Not to mention the total insanity of some people. Terrorism is at an all time high with radical Islamist jihadists bombing places and running people down with vehicles, radical people of both liberal and conservative ideology trying to kill the other side, foreign nationals violently breaking down national borders to other countries, illegal aliens killing natural citizens and breaking every law the invaded nation has... the list goes on and on and on. Recipe for self-destruction. We are killing ourselves off for no reason. How have we lasted this long?

War is not healthy for children and other living things and you will believe that if I have to kill you to get you there. Modern thought process. Do as I say, not as I do, and, me being the peaceful, tolerant person that I am, will beat the hell out of you if you don't. My agenda is the only right one even if it involves killing unborn children while professing compassion for foreign children, even if it involves tolerance for a certain ideology and intolerance for anyone who doesn't believe that way, even if I profess hatred for my own color because I am tolerant and accepting of a different color, even if I have to lie about my ancestry to get ahead while professing honesty. Hypocrisy is rampant and violence has become the norm for intolerance to that hypocrisy.

As we destroy our own homeworld, we are in search of other planets that are inhabitable by humanity. Mars, the closest planet to Earth, has been a great prospect for colonization. Granted, we would have to nuke both poles to get an atmosphere but that's okay, we'd be able to move there and exploit the planet taking its natural resources to make money with. After a few decades and millions of colonists, Mars would be the twin to Earth. It would be polluted, government would be corrupt, laws would be broken, murder and mayhem would ensue. After a few centuries, if it took that long, we would have to find another planet to move to and destroy.

With all our intellect, all our civilization, all our enlightenment, it is my belief that we are the bane to life. The animal kingdom, those controlled by instinct to survive, are much more civilized than humanity. The lion only kills to eat and protect. Humanity kills for pleasure and sport. We are not even as civil as a congress of baboons. The ape genus is more civilized and organized than homo sapiens. The pride of lions that live on the savanna are more humane than humanity. Crocodiles, sharks, wolves, every living thing in the world that humans fear are only doing what they must to survive. It is humanity that has encroached upon the world, not the animal kingdom. We have destroyed millions of acres of natural beauty and bounty so that we can grow crops to eat. We have killed off hundreds of species of animals for sport and food. We have polluted our land, our air and our water for our own convenience. Most of all, we have overpopulated to the point of no return.

That brings me to the point of sex. The only other species that copulates for pleasure is the dolphin. Humans fornicate for pleasure only. This is proven by the number of abortions that are performed because the participants didn't want to procreate, only orgasm for trade to get something such as drugs. Procreation is not in the thought process when she drops her panties and he whips it out. What do people think is going to happen? They think they're going to get a Sony Playstation once the deed is done?

So here we are, kids becoming parents or killing off the results of unprotected, for pleasure sex. Not that I am against sex mind you. I just don't believe in sex without protection and random sex with whoever happens to be next to you when the bar closes whether you know them or not. If you don't want babies, don't do the dirty. If the only reason you want babies is for an income, either from the sperm donor or the government, don't do the dirty. A baby, a child, is a gift of life not an income or something that should be done away with on a whim. Don't stand up for children's rights if you've every killed an unborn child. Another form of self-destruction... killing unborn children.

I realize that I ramble. My thoughts are as incoherent as a politician's promises. I apologize for that. As I read, or hear, about world events I feel the need to make comments on said events and it may be hours or days or even weeks before I get a chance to write anything down. By then, everything is jumbled up in my mind. One day, I may realize that to edit is to organize. Until that day, a-ramblin' I shall do. Rants and ravings of a demented mind.

So far I have only delved into the powerful against the powerless. Let's take a look at the common man (or woman, or thing, or whatever you want to call yourself). How do we interact between ourselves on the the personal level? As a professional driver for over 30 years I can tell you some horror stories most of which won't mean a thing to you because you don't put up with it on a daily basis. But I'll try to convey the stress that is put upon the nation's most important industry.

A semi-truck can weigh up to, and sometimes more, than 80,000 pounds. That is like 40 times more than your little powder blue Prius. With that kind of weight it takes a pretty good distance to get going up to speed or to stop. Trucks don't do jack rabbit starts and stops like your Prius. Think about a football field from goal post to goal post. That is how far it takes a truck to stop when going 55 miles an hour. It may take up to 3 miles before it can get up to highway speed depending on the weight in the trailer. You have to remember that trucks have nine to 18 gears to go through and the lower five are SLOW.

Drivers today think that they are invincible. Nothing can harm them because the law says you can't run over them. It doesn't matter if you have the RIGHT to cut that truck off. That truck can't stop on a dime. It WILL run over you and you WILL die. The professional driver will survive most likely and have to live with the fact that he/she killed an idiot but that is beside the point. You cut in front of a truck and then hit the brakes because you don't like trucks. You're in the far left lane and you remember your exit ramp is fifteen feet in front of you so... let's cut across three to six lanes of rush hour traffic that is going 50 miles an hour. Self destructive behavior if you ask me. Especially if there is a truck in one of those lanes.

You've been following a truck down the highway. He's been running along about five miles over the speed limit and then you have to go through some little one horse town and slow down to 35. When the speed limit goes back up that truck takes a little time to get back to road speed. Too long for you. You have to get around him no matter what law you have to break. Then, because you're turning off a mile outside that town, you hit the brakes right in front of him. Good way to die.

I have had people pass me on the shoulder. I've had people cut in front of me and almost take my hood off. I've had people speed up when I could get around them and slow down when I couldn't. I've even had people pass me then slam on the brakes. People are bound and determined to kill themselves when they are behind the wheel of their Prius. Why? Because they have to be first, can't let a truck in front of them, they are morons. Tell me how the human race isn't bound for self-destruction.

Radical Islamic Terrorists (yes, I will call the what they are) will do anything to kill the infidels, gang members will do anything to kill other gang members, differing political ideologies will do anything to do away with the opposition. See the trend? We are killing ourselves over nothing when it comes to the grand scheme of the Universe. We are nothing but a speck in this infinite space. Less than a speck. We can kill ourselves, destroy our world, even the entire solar system could disappear and the Universe wouldn't even notice. But we are all we have. This Earth is all we have. If we want to survive we will have make some drastic changes in our thinking.

We will have to change our basic natures if we want to survive as a species. We will have to start taking care of Mother Earth. We will have to learn how not to hate and kill. Is that possible? I have my doubts. Humanity hasn't changed in several millennia and don't see any hope for it in the future. All I see is a world that burns because of hate and greed and religion.

What to Write

     What to write. What to write? What to write!

     There is so much going on in the world today that it is an overload of crap on one’s mind. Russian collusion; Syrian overthrow; North Korean nuclear warheads; terrorists attacks; government run healthcare; tax reform; government corruption at all levels from Federal all the way down to local; immigration problems; refugee problems; racial divide; party division; riots, shootings and other acts of domestic violence. All of these things are at the forefront of world news and there seems to be nothing that any country’s general population can do about it. The governments of the world seem to be in their own little clique and doing whatever it is they want regardless of what is best for their countries or the needs and wants of their constituents.

     There once was a time when freedom rang out through the hills and valleys of this once great nation. Indeed, throughout the lands on this continent and across the big pond on a tiny island and also on the grand continent. Yes, there has always been the tyrannical rule of communism in some countries such as China, the Soviet Union, Korea, etc. but those that are run by an iron fist are few and far between. Freedom, democracy and capitalism have been proven to be much more effective than government run industry and human rights being denied. The problem is this: those freedoms, that democracy and capitalism is being replaced by socialistic and politically correct policy in the bastion of freedom: the United States. Even Great Britain is becoming more and more politically correct and socialistic than ever before.

     This year, 2017, was the 241^st anniversary of our freedom from Great Britain. 241 years since the Founding Fathers declared that we were a free nation, no longer under the auspices and control of a tyrannical rule from far away. 8,000 American soldiers died from wounds, 17,000 died from disease, 25,000 were estimated to have been wounded or maimed fighting for our freedom. In other words: 1 in 20 free white males in this country were killed or maimed fighting against tyranny. THAT is what made this country the greatest country in the world. Men that were willing to die to achieve something that had never been done before – win against the mightiest military in the world since the Roman Empire.

     Once we gained our freedom from King George, the Founding Fathers set up an experimental government where each and every man’s voice was heard. The Constitutional Republic was born, a Congress was established and a President was chosen. It took months for the 57 delegates from the 13 states to debate and set in stone the Law of the Land known as the United States Constitution. Laws that set up three branches of government that kept each branch from too much power. The Executive Branch, the President and Vice President, empowered to uphold the law. The Legislative Branch, the law makers. The Judicial Branch, to defend the law. The Electoral College was established to make sure that each state had equal say in the election of the President and Vice President. The Congress, set up of two houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives, filled with men elected by popular vote of each district; the Senate consisting of two men from each state to make it equal and the House filled by population of each district.

     Our new country now had a government, for and by the people. Freedom, human rights, prosperity were the norm, at least for white males. Throughout our short history, freedom has been given; not just to white males but to while women, blacks, Asians, immigrants, all who legally reside without our borders. Our new country became the greatest nation in the world. A country that led in technology, military might, human rights, freedom and democracy. We were the envy of the planet.

Over the years, that experimental government grew to understand that, through making laws that pertained only to the citizens of the country and not the law makers, our government changed into something that the Founding Fathers had debated fiercely against. The government has become all powerful and tyrannical. Laws are forced down the throats of the citizens depending on what government wants regardless of what the people want. In other words: where we once were a country with a government, we have become a government with a country. We are now no better than what our forefathers fought and died to be free from.

     “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

     For those that don’t know, these words are from the Declaration of Independence. Funny how time changes things. There are those in this nation that would want government to be all powerful and to dictate our lives for us. There are those that would have us open our borders, thus losing our sovereignty, and to embezzle from the working class to give to all that come here, or are already here, that refuse to work to support themselves. There are those that take the words of the Constitution and bastardize them into something they are not. There are those that would take us back to a time when freedom was a dream, when being your own man was doing your best to keep your family from being slaughtered by a tyrannical government or some other enemy (i.e., in Colonial America it was the British, today it would be Radical Islamic Terrorists).

     When the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, thus setting in stone how our government worked, they decided that it needed more added to it. By adding amendments to that great document, laws became legal; certain things were cast in stone so as not to be changed. The first ten amendments were added before they left Independence Hall. These first ten amendments came to be known as The Bill of Rights. Giving us freedom of speech, the press, to practice any religion; freedom against illegal search and seizure or to testify against ourselves in a court of law; we have the right to keep and bear arms. These rights and freedoms were added for a reason. The Founding Fathers wanted to make sure that government would not, could not, become a tyrannical dominion over the people as King George and his British governors were over the colonies.

     Today, the liberal left would have us believe that the Constitution, along with the Bill of Rights, was a ‘living’ document meant to change with the political tide of the times. They would have us believe that the Founding Fathers did not understand that times would change and the laws set down by them would become outdated. Those far left liberals would like for us to believe that we no longer need the right to keep and bear arms to protect ourselves from any enemy, foreign or domestic. They would like for us to believe that the freedom of speech is only for those that are liberal and the freedom of religion is for any religion other than Christianity. They would want us to believe that to peaceably assemble is only for conservatives but the liberal left can commit crimes of destruction wantonly without recourse. They would have us believe that “provide for the common good” means to take from those that have and give to those that have not whether they deserve it or not.

     Franklin Delano Roosevelt set up the American welfare system as an insurance system to help those in need temporarily; until they were back on their feet. There are those in this country that have taken that as a challenge and made the welfare system their career, refusing to work because it is much easier to have the government pay for everything. Free money, free medical, dental, vision and food has become the American dream for people the world over. Refugees flock to our shores to take what our government doles out. The problem with that is that the liberal left believe this to be everyone’s right, whether they are citizens of this nation or not.

     The liberal left believe that the Constitutional rights given to all citizens of this country pertain to citizens of the world. They do not. The Constitution of the United States of America pertains ONLY to citizens, both natural and naturalized, of the United States and legal immigrants. Our Founding Fathers did not set up a global Constitution but a national one to protect OUR rights and freedoms. Only the left seem to think that this country is globally set. It is NOT our responsibility to provide for the world.

     Our country has become less great, less respected, because of liberalism and their political correctness. Michael Savage has said, over and over, “Liberalism is a mental illness.” I am beginning to truly believe that as time goes on and I see what the left is doing. John Kennedy would be ashamed of the Democratic Party for what they have become. I know I am. The liberal left is destroying our country by leaps and bounds with their socialistic policies and their desire for global settlement within our borders. We are a sovereign nation still but it is fast becoming a borderless wasteland for anyone that wants to enter and do as they please.

     We no longer can speak our minds or voice our opinions without being called racist, fascist, bigot, anti-this or that. We are forced to accept our enemies and can no longer claim national pride. Freedom of religion is only for Islam because ‘Congress shall make no law pertaining to religion or the free exercise thereof’ had come to mean that Christianity has no place anywhere on public property, government or schools. Being white is bad because of the atrocities of those from generations ago against minorities. Abnormal behaviour is forced down the throats of all people because the left is determined to destroy all morality and values in our country.

     The government does what it wants and no one will stand against it. Congress forces policy upon us that does not pertain to them (healthcare for the masses is not good enough for government, they have their own, all-encompassing healthcare paid for by the taxpayer). We are engaged in wars for the sake of government gains and no longer only for the safety of our nation. Our representatives are bought and paid for by big corporations and no longer represent the people that elected them to office. In fact, several of said representatives have become so powerful that their mental stability is in question but the people of their respective districts keep re-electing them.

     241 years ago a dream became a reality. It took thousands of lives to achieve. Now, 241 years later that dream is dead. Our freedoms, our rights, our very lives are at stake. Would this be anarchy? No. Would this be the call for revolution? No. Would this be treason? No. It is one man’s thoughts and observations. This is only my opinions on what has become of our nation. It could be the call to arms if I was a violent person. I am not. Violence is never the answer. But, when government usurps its’ powers and becomes a tyrannical dominion, it is time to rethink what we have become. It is time to think about what those thousands of men died for 241 years ago.

Terrorist Attacks Since 9/11

After waking up this morning to more news of Radical Islamic terrorism in London I thought I’d do a little research on the ‘religion of peace’ and see just how peaceful this cult actually is. It was striking what I discovered. Since the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, killing over 3,000 innocent Americans, radical Islam has attacked the world almost 31,000 times.

Think about that for a minute. This religion of peace has conducted almost 31,000 terrorist attacks against innocent people over the course of 15 and a half years; all in the name of Allah and to destroy the infidels. Last week they attacked a concert killing 22 people, some of which were just children. Last night they attacked innocents on London Bridge. When are the liberal idiots and governments of the world going to get it into their heads that the radical extremists aren’t going to give up? Worse, when are those peaceful Muslims of the world going to stand up against their extremist brothers and sisters?

From May 27 through June 2 of this year alone, Islamic terrorists conducted 40 attacks, killed 455 and injured 677 in 14 countries. That was in a week. A bloody week! And what do the liberals keep saying? “Oh, Islam is a religion of peace. They just need more understanding. We need to bring the entire bloody Middle East into our countries and give them love.” Right! Invite them in, give them free housing, food, and medical care and give them jobs that natural born or naturalized citizens need. Why do the governments of the world do that? They do it because all those ‘refugees’ are trying to get out of a war torn area to be safe from harm. By the by, did you realize that the Middle East has been fighting wars within the area since the inception of Islam and lasting peace will never happen because killing is all they have ever known? (Statistics are from thereligionofpeace.com.)

The Koran tells its followers that anyone who does not believe in Islam is to be killed just as God told Moses to go into the land of Canaan and kill them all, men, women and children, because they were not believers. The difference is this – Christianity, for the most part, has decided that killing non-believers is not acceptable in civilized times. Islam still believes that is what needs to be done.

I am not saying that all Muslims are evil, dangerous and murdering thugs; they are not. There are more peaceful Muslims than there are the radical extremists. The problem lies in that a person never knows which is which. Just as the soldiers in the Vietnam conflict couldn’t tell whether that child walking down the street was a Viet Cong bomb waiting to go off or not, how do you tell if that burka covered Muslim is wired to the teeth with C4? You don’t know. There is no way to determine whether a person standing around or walking down the street is going to go postal and kill people because that is their duty to Islam. To make the problem even worse, in today’s screwed up society, Islam is recruiting ‘homegrown’ terrorists by the hundreds. It may have something to do with those 72 virgins that are promised if you die for Islam.

Here in the United States, the liberal idiots are even going against Federal Law and becoming sanctuary cities, counties and states just to protect any illegal that wants to go into their boundaries against immigration law. Due to multi-culturalism that seems to be so prevalent in the liberal world of Utopia, these sanctuary municipalities are going to be the downfall for the rest of the country just as the EU is going to be the downfall of Europe. The radicals go in as refugees or illegals, move about with impunity and get where they want to be to do the most harm to innocent lives.

Until the world can get off is politically correct ass and admit that Islam is NOT a religion of peace and that the extremists are a real threat to everyone the world will continue to die a few at a time. Innocent lives will be lost because people are afraid of offending the enemy. The idiocy of political correctness is being shown every day, with every attack by the Radical Islamic Terrorists known as ISIS. There is nothing normal about this. It should never become something that we should just expect to happen. We should never become complacent about terrorism.

Instead of taking our guns so we cannot protect ourselves, we should be told to gather as many as possible. Not just here in the US but in every country around the world. If citizens were armed then these radicals wouldn’t be able to do near as much damage and carnage as they do. Citizens could stop the killing by gunning down the outlaws before they completed their ‘missions.’ Stop the idiocy and let us protect ourselves; after all, our governments aren’t able to do it.

Relationships Today: Just a Little Advice

I think I’m going to do something a little different this weekend. Instead of something really controversial like politics or religion I’m going to delve into the realm of relationships. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, who am I to give out advice on something that I can’t even keep together? In answer to that question I will reply that I am very experienced in what NOT to do. After being married three times, three times divorced, having children with all three, I would like to think that I have a pretty good idea of what is going on. I may be wrong on that but I’m going to go with it anyway.

I got married the first time when I was twenty and she was eighteen. She wanted away from home and I wanted someone there. Trust me when I say that when a relationship is built like that it will never work out. Two years later, after she and I were separated, along came a beautiful baby girl. Was I ready to be a parent in any way, shape or form? Not on your life. Thank the gods that my ex-wife was a hell of a lot more mature than I was. My daughter grew to be a fantastic woman with children of her own that have grown into pretty great young people. When my daughter was around three I surrendered parental rights and let her step-dad adopt her. I thought I was doing the right thing.

Relationship number two, that ended in marriage and divorce, came along a few years later when I was 27. I met this girl while I was servicing a truck where I worked. I was covered in grease and oil and this cute little thing came wandering into the shop and started complaining about being stood up by some sop that had made a movie date with her. As it ended up my buddy and I got cleaned up and we both took her to the drive in movie. It was a triple feature that I have no idea what was playing. We talked through the whole damn thing. My buddy? He sat along the wall of the drive in bored out of his mind.

This girl had a three year old boy that was adorable. He came to me one day and asked if I minded if he called me ‘Dad.’ My heart melted. After we got married I adopted him. He was a great kid and I love him as much as if he was my own blood. But, once again, the fates decided that this wasn’t the one, either. We fought constantly about everything. I was a jealous SOB and she was an eighth Crow Indian and had an evil streak that made her want to stir me up.

I was working for Schwan’s at the time and came home one night to a note on the pillow. Yeah! Can you believe that old cliché? I wasn’t sober for about three or four months. I quit working for Schwan’s and went back to real trucking.

Number three was a few months later. I picked her up in a truck stop where she was hitch hiking. It was in Columbia, MO and she was trying to get to Minneapolis. You just don’t get from the middle of Missouri to southern Minnesota very easily. I gave her ride from there to Indiana and then back to Des Moines and put her on a truck headed to Minneapolis. A couple of months later she was back and in the truck with me.

To make this story shorter, in the ten years we were together we moved from Des Moines to Portland, my beautiful baby daughter was born four months after her mother turned eighteen and my son was born two and half years later. My boy was born in New York while I was still in Portland, OR. Yeah, I’m a dick and she thought I wasn’t paying enough attention to her so she took my daughter across the country for a year. She came back to Portland and then we moved around the country while I was trucking again. We ended up in Fremont, NE where it finally came to an end.

Now, don’t get me wrong. Every time I got married it was forever but, there is that little problem of me being a dick. When I got together with the last one I told her that I didn’t own her and she didn’t own me; as long as my children were taken care of she did what she wanted and I was not going to change my lifestyle of trucking. I didn’t cheat on her. I am NOT that kind of driver. I am loyal to a fault and once committed that is all she wrote. No.3 and I never fought until that last night when she walked out on me and the kids.

Throughout all three of these relationships there is one common denominator: my attitude that I was not owned by anyone and I was going to do what I wanted regardless. Don’t get me wrong, I did my best to take care of my family and my children are my world. That was probably the biggest thing, I paid more attention to my kids than the other half. Not the best way to keep a relationship together.

In any relationship it has to be a two way street. It cannot just go one way. Give and take and if you give a little more than you take then it will, more than likely, stay together; if there is any chance that one is taking more than the other it will end in disaster. Communication is just as important. If you can’t talk things through, you get angry and go to bed that way, you will end up as bitter enemies. You have to be able to compromise in all things. And, this one is very important, if you try to change someone that you are with, you’ve lost. You didn’t fall in love with what you want to change them into. You fell in love with what they are.

In today’s world I’ve watched these kids from 14 to 20 do their utmost to get into a serious relationship and have kids. Stupidest thing they could do. These kids are just as immature as we were back in the 70’s but they think they are much more grown up. I throw down the BS card on that. These girls today think they can be moms at 14, 16, 18 years old. They can’t. And these boys won’t be ready to be dads until they reach about 30.

I’ve seen girls destroy boy’s lives because they didn’t get what they wanted, which was to have a baby, and then if they do get what they want, they destroy that poor boy’s life and her own. Well, maybe not destroy but definitely make it exponentially harder. Life is NOT easier with a baby on your hip. When I was young and you had a child, that child was yours to take care of. Today, I constantly see posts on Facebook or hear girls cry because they need time off from their children. These girls seem to think that having a living child is like taking care of that stupid doll they have in high school independent living class. It isn’t.

Who is to blame for this social problem? I blame us. By ‘us’ I mean the parents of these children that think they are grown up at 14. We have become so complacent and relaxed in parenting that these kids are basically raising themselves. That doesn’t bring about morally adept children. They start sleeping with the opposite sex at 14 just to have someone to sleep next to. Next thing you know they’re doing the dirty with whoever it is next to them without protection and then, BAM, they’re pregnant and think they’re gonna get a Sony TV. Oh, sorry. That baby that is growing in there suddenly becomes one of two things: an income from a poor, unemployed teenaged boy and the government or, it’s an inconvenience and needs to be aborted.

My best advice to anyone from 14 to 25 – stay single, enjoy life, get set financially then start thinking about getting into a serious relationship. The world isn’t going to end if you don’t get serious with someone before you’re 30. Kids are wonderful gifts that require a LOT of work and a lot of money. Stay children for as long as you can. Being grown up is not as great as what it’s advertised to be. Life is hard enough by yourself and it isn’t any easier when you have others that you are responsible for. Relationships don’t last. I’ve known people that were married for decades that broke apart. Children aren’t mature enough to even know what love is much less what commitment and loyalty are. Most girls are out to get into a boy’s wallet and get a baby for an income. Boys are out to get their wedding tackle wet, period.

Those last two statements are generalities; there are those rare boys and girls that are actually loyal and true. If you can find one, keep them. The biggest problem is that those with good hearts, the loyal, are taken advantage of more often than not by those that are so immature that they can’t see beyond their own noses. Hedonism runs rampant in today’s world and that is the saddest thing that could ever happen. Dorian Grey is king; the only problem there is that these modern Dorian’s aren’t immortal.

I Have No Respect for the Far Left Anymore

Over the last few months, well, actually since the election in November, I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t even have the smallest amount of respect for the liberal left. Now, to be forthright, it isn’t all liberals. There are some on the left that aren’t totally insane but, for the most part, a person cannot have a decent debate with a liberal from the far left.

It isn’t that I can’t speak my mind or give facts to disprove a liberal’s opinion. I do that on an everyday basis. Where the problem lies is in the fact that the far left have it in their mind that no matter what our President does, it is wrong. The far left is on a mission to destroy Donald Trump at all cost. It doesn’t matter that everyone in the Intelligence Community has stated over and over that there is no evidence that there was collusion between the Russians and the Trump Team to swing the vote toward Trump. It doesn’t matter that there is evidence that the Obama Administration was surveilling the Trump Team at Trump Tower for over a year before the election. It doesn’t matter that Trump is doing everything he can to keep the Radical Islamic Terrorists out of the country and to take down their strongholds. All that matters to the far left is that Trump must be destroyed.

I have inquired many times to my left leaning friends as to what, exactly, they want out of the government. I have yet to get an answer that makes any sense. All they tell me is they want Trump out of office because he is destroying the country. How is he destroying the country? They really don’t have any concrete answer to that other than he is trying to take insurance away from the poor, putting gays back in the closet, starting WWIII and that he is a misogynist, fascist, bigot and racist. None of these things is even close to the truth yet that is what they believe.

What is Trump trying to do? Let’s go through the list:

·         Secure the nation’s borders against illegal crossing

·         Bring businesses and jobs back into the country and keep them from leaving the country

·         Replacing the failing Affordable Care Act that is definitely NOT affordable to anyone other than the poor who don’t pay for health insurance anyway

·         Destroying the Radical Islamic Terrorist Threat

·         Building back our military to the strength it was before Obama castrated it

·         Building back the respect of the world for our country that it had before Obama destroyed it

·         Standing up for our allies, including Israel, instead of embracing our enemies as Obama did

·         Making the NATO allies pay their share of the cost of defending the member nations

·         Becoming more of a nationalist country where America comes before other nations

·         Strengthening the American economy

These things are not destroying the country; they are making America great again. The President doesn’t want to undo the liberal ideology of equal rights for every so-called minority (i.e. gay rights, women’s rights, etc.). He does want to rein in the idiocy of some of those Obama policies such as men in the women’s restroom. If making this country great again, bringing it back to the respected, feared nation it was before the Obama Administration, is destroying it, then I am all for it. The Socialist/Communist ideology of the far left is not what built this nation. It was the conservative values of self-reliance, morals and values of the Christian faith, small government and states regulating themselves instead of the Federal Government regulating the citizens.

The Bernie Sanders/Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama far left liberals are what are destroying this country with their Socialist/Communist ideology of more government control and dependence, fewer rights (such as doing away with the Second Amendment), open borders, allowing illegals to have the same rights and privileges as natural or naturalized citizens and the immoral values of gender neutral society without any form of religious morals or values at all, except those of the Sharia Law as long as they don’t offend anyone on the left.

Have I tried to have intellectual debates with liberals? Of course I have. They only degrade me and call me a racist, fascist and bigot that has been brainwashed by the conservative right. If only they could understand that I do my best to see things from all sides and make decisions based on what I feel is right or wrong. I grew up in a free America without all the far left socialism that they want to bring on these days. We had a Democratic Republic that worked well. Now, I don’t know what we have. All I do know is that the far left needs to get their heads out of their asses and quit dressing up as vaginas to protest things that aren’t even happening.

I have zero respect for the liberal left anymore because of their idiocy. They think that the Trump Train is making America a laughingstock. It was Obama’s effeminate lack of leadership and the left’s own idiotic actions that are making a laughingstock of this nation. It is their constant war against the Trump Administration and their constant undermining of the authority of the office of President that makes the world wonder if we are trustworthy. Until the far left can get their act together they will get no respect from me nor will I even attempt to see their side of any issue. It just isn’t worth the drama.

A Very Sad State of Affairs

First of all let me get this out of the way: I stated at the very beginning that if Donald Trump wavered I would be one of the first to call him out. As you all know, very well, I call out the liberals constantly because I have a very conservative political view. That being said, I will get into the reason for this article.

The past week has been pretty… exciting? Bashar al Assad allegedly gassed his own people with Siran gas, one of the worst, because he’s just an asshole like that. Trump, not having drawn the line but not letting some Russian backed dictator cross it, used fifty nine Tomahawk missiles to level one airfield that the Syrian dictator (and the Russians) were using within hours afterward; this being done while our President was having a state dinner with the President of China. Rex Tillerson was in Russia speaking with his counterpart, Sergei Lavrov and then actually got to talk with good old Vlad Putin, himself.

Now, to top that off, our friend in North Korea decided to test more nukes and the Donald sent a few Navy ships toward the Korean peninsula as a show of force. Having LittleMan Sydrome, Kim Jung Un, the North Korean midget in charge decided to threaten the United States with nuclear war if we so much as fired one shot into his country.

Wow! Just….wow! Nothing like making history or watching it happen before your very eyes; I now know how the colonists felt as the Founding Fathers decided to declare our independence and then war against England.

Is it the end of times? I doubt it. Even though the North Korean midget in charge is a crazy bastard that would actually fire nuclear warheads at one of the two most powerful nations on the planet, I don’t think China would allow it. Although, it doesn’t seem as though China has a whole lot of sway over what Kim does anymore.

So, with all that out of the way, as a side note, if you want to get the shit kicked out of you just fly United Airlines on an overbooked flight. It isn’t enough that you get groped and prodded and interrogated and treated like you’re an Islamic Terrorist by the TSA in the airports, now you get to be treated like that on one of the biggest air carriers. Gotta love America.

Now to get to the heart and soul of what I want to say. This isn’t gonna make any liberal happy. President Trump did exactly what he should have done by tossing some explosives at Syria. I think he may have overdone it a little but, the thought was right. He did what King Obama should have done when the midget crossed HIS red line. Instead, the King decided to hang back and let the little bastard do what he wanted.

Did the Donald do anything to start WWIII? Nope. Hate to tell you this, folks, that war started on September 11, 2001. Even with the controversy (conspiracy?) of exactly what happened that fateful day as the World Trade Center fell, that was when this bloody war started. I know that I have a hard time believing the good ol’ government that it was Islamic Terrorists given HOW the buildings fell and that in the beginning there was actually no airplane in the wall of the Pentagon. That notwithstanding, the war started with George W. Bush against Saddam Hussein.

Now, with the downfall of the almighty Clinton Empire, the liberals are waging a war of their own against fellow Americans because they didn’t get their way; even the Congress is involved within their own hallowed halls, liberals against conservatives. Damn that Donald Trump! How dare he win a rigged election against him. Hillary was supposed to win so that she could finish off turning this country into a Socialist State.

First was the Russian hacking that, by the way, COULD have been our own Intelligence Community pretending to be Russian hackers. Then it turned into Russian collusion with the Trump Team. Then, lo and behold, came attacks on Team Trump associates. Liberal attacks at every level. Attorney General Jeff Sessions reclusing himself from overseeing investigations against the Trump Team then Devon Nunez reclusing himself from the same for the same reason – liberal allegations of biased investigating. Yeah, the war is in full swing and the liberals are flinging everything they can at the conservatives. Unfortunately, it seems as though the libs are in the lead by a league and the conservatives keep holding back.

It kinda makes a person wonder about what is going on in Washington. Is the Donald really ‘draining the swamp’ or is the swamp swallowing his administration one position at a time without any defense against it?

Why is the surveilling of Trump Tower a year before the election by the Obama Administration not being thoroughly investigated with hard evidence that it did happen while the Russian collusion is being beaten into the ground with all the Intelligence Community saying there is absolutely no evidence of it? Why is the Clinton Foundation not being investigated? Why is the Hillary email scandal a thing of the past, forgotten amongst the liberal outcry against the conservatives? Are the conservatives in DC really wanting to lose in 2018, 2020 and beyond?

There are more questions than answers in the world today. Why is Vlad so intent on supporting Assad when he knows that the Syrian dictator broke international law by using chemical weapons against his own people? Why is Kim Jung Un playing big man against an adversary that could wipe him off the face of the Earth? Why does Mexico get all pissed because Trump wants to build a wall to stop illegal immigration when they won’t allow Americans to illegally enter their country? Why do Americans want illegals to stay, no matter if they commit violent crimes against Americans?

The biggest question is this: why do we have to ask these questions? Isn’t the government supposed to be doing a thorough investigation into all things illegal that I’ve asked about? Why isn’t the Congressional committees demanding the ‘evidence’ that Susan Rice left with her unmasking scandal? Why won’t the FBI cooperate with Congress on this? Is the swamp so dense and thick that they don’t care about the law when that law is broken against the conservative party?

Yes, my friends, the war has already started. The evidence is there for anyone to see if they look with open eyes instead of a closed mind. World War III and a Civil War are going on at this very minute, this day, this month, this year and will continue as long as we, the People, allow it to. The question about this is what can we do about it? We are only a country of pampered children that want given to us what our parents and forefathers had to work hard for, fight and die for. So, what can we do? QUIT PLAYING BY THEIR RULES. I’m not advocating a violent rebellion such as the Founding Fathers had to resort to. I’m talking about not doing what the elitists want. Quit fighting about policy. Quit fighting about platform. Quit fighting about civil rights that aren’t being ignored. All these things are just distractions that have been bought and paid for by the richest of the rich.

You really think that Black Lives Matter started out as a terrorist organization bent against law enforcement and the establishment? I doubt it. Do you really think that all these gay rights activists really think that the LBGT community doesn’t have equal rights? There will always be discrimination by some but the majority of the people don’t adhere to such practices. Do you really think that keeping illegal immigrants in this country is really helping us out? Do you really think that we should bring those refugees into the country when there are places in their own region that could house and protect them better while staying with their own culture? The only refugees that WANT to come here are the terrorists and you are inviting them in.

All these things are orchestrated acts to keep us distracted from the real world and what is going on. There will always be war, discrimination, bullying, differences of opinion and viewpoint. Nothing can be done about that. What can be done is forgetting about all the shit that is being shoved down our throats and look behind the scenes to see what is actually going on. They don’t want us to get along. They love us to fight each other. That keeps them in power. OUR TIME IS NOW! Join the passive rebellion and quit doing what they want.  Liberal, conservative, socialist, communist, dictator or freely elected leader, it doesn’t matter, we are all being blindsided by an evil terrorist organization more secret than any other before. We are all just pawns on their chessboard and we are willingly entertaining them.

Open your eyes. Open your mind. Choose what you want. Fight on your feet for real freedom or die on your knees subjugated by the elitists. It’s your choice. 

Life is Like a Bowl of Cherries Just like Erma Said

Life is like a bowl of cherries. Erma Bombeck titled one of her books by that name. I have never read it, at least in its entirety. In fact, I really can’t recall one story in that book as it was many, many years ago that I actually read parts of it but, I know, that Erma Bombeck was a very intelligent author. She wrote her humorous stories around actual events in her life and experiences in a way that was entertaining, humorous and, if read in the right frame of mind, educational.

Why did I choose this as the main topic of this article? I chose ‘life is like a bowl of cherries’ because, through the past week, I have lived that bowl of cherries. Along with that wondrous juicy red fruit that is so delicious, there are always those damnable pits.

I have a friend that has told me for years that I am the only person he knows that can think himself into a bad mood. With my choice of career I have plenty of time to think about things. Amazingly enough, this past week there have been many, many things to think about from the Senate’s agonizing debates about Judge Neil Gorsuch to the bombing of a Syrian airstrip along with enough every day, non-political, work related subjects to choke the life out of anything.

The point I want to make, here at the start of this article is this: Life is actually pretty good for most people here in the good ol’ USA. Most, but not all; I have it decent. I have a pretty good paying job that I really enjoy, a roof over my head and food in the fridge. My bills are paid and nothing is getting shut off so why would I say anything about the ‘pits?’ Without the dark, we wouldn’t know anything about the light. For example, today started pretty good as I got to my receiver at a good time with only a few trucks ahead of me; I waited only a short time before being put into a dock door and it seemed I would get home early. That is as far as the good went. I waited over seven hours to get unloaded and almost an hour after that to get my paperwork. After leaving the receiver I was driving along at the speed limit, got behind a slow pickup truck, moved over to the fast lane to go around and the damn pickup truck decided to match my speed thus making me back traffic up behind me.

No big deal you would think, just slow down, get back behind him and travel on. Let me let you in on a little secret there: personal vehicle drivers do not like trucks. On any given day I will get slowed down by people that speed up when I try to get around them only to slow back down when I can’t and get behind them again numerous times. As a professional driver in a vehicle governed at 64 miles an hour I am at the mercy of a lot of things. I’ve been cut off by people that had to get in front of me, just to slow down or make that exit ramp that I just passed. I’ve had people pull out in front of me with less than a truck length between us. It gets more than a little annoying.

Today, being aggravated by the slow unload, this driver just pissed me off. As traffic is backing up behind me and this idiot not letting me by I blew my horn at him. Now, he could have sped up or slowed down, either way, no big deal; what did he do? He hit the brakes, looked up at me through the window and pulled off the highway. I’m expecting a call from the company about this as I am sure he took down the company name and trailer number because I was being an ass. I could have done more, like start to pull over into his lane to get him to move the hell out of my way for one thing.

As you see, with the day starting as that sweet, juicy, delicious fruit of me going home, getting to the receiver and getting into a door early, there came the pit of taking most of the day to get unloaded and then an idiot driver. Life was definitely a bowl of cherries today.

Another great author that I have come to admire is Sherrilyn Kenyon. For those that have been living under a rock or don’t read anything but Forbes and the Wall Street Journal, Ms. Kenyon writes fantasy/adventure/romance novels (the only reason they are romance is that she does put some pretty graphic sex scenes in there and the main character ALWAYS gets what they want). Maybe you have heard of her Dark Hunter, Dream Hunter, League or Chronicles of Nick books that are international best sellers. My personal favorites are the Chronicles of Nick, the adventures of a teenaged Cajun from New Orleans that has an attitude.

Why do I put her up there with such a writer as Erma Bombeck? Sherrilyn Kenyon was an abused child and she persevered and won the day. She survived and thrived through things that would permanently scar most people. She puts the wisdom of those years and her survival into her writing. Her characters, for the most part, are hundreds, if not thousands, of years old (the oldest that I recall is an Atlantean god that is slightly over eleven thousand years old. When a character has lived as many lifetimes as hers have, they gain a lot of life wisdom.

Ms. Kenyon’s characters have been betrayed by loved ones, been tortured by enemies, lived through hell and, in the end, won the day by perseverance and sheer determination not to let life run them over. Some, the Dark Hunters, have even by murdered in some of the most heinous ways only to be brought back by the Greek goddess Artemis as warriors against evil. Even then, these people have stories to tell and wisdom to share.

The point I am getting at is this: there are a lot of times that the gods make humans their punching bags and don’t give a rat’s ass what happens to us. It is up to us, the human race, to decide whether we will let life kill us or we go over, under, around or through the hardships and keep fighting. There is always something to keep fighting for: a loved one, an important cause, honor.

With all that is going on in the world today, especially since the election in November, there have been a lot of times when people have asked me how my day is, I’ve replied, ‘If it got any better I may as well take off my own head.” After years of fighting depression, it’s getting kind of hard to keep fighting the good fight for me but I do. I fight on because I have things worth fighting for, even if some of those things don’t care about me. As Dom Torreto said in Fast & Furious, “Never give up on family, even if they do.” I happen to have a lot of family, most of which are not blood.

To sum it all up, it doesn’t matter if you are liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, wealthy or poor, mentally balanced or have mental illness, physically healthy or ill, there is always something or someone that needs you, would miss you, would die without you. It doesn’t matter who is in the White House, Congress, Supreme Court, who controls what country, who has done this or that, we all have our roles to play. What we do today, what we say tomorrow, what has happened in the past or will happen in the future, does not matter one iota to the Universe. It will all fade into nothingness through the mists of time. What will remain is whether we kept going, kept fighting for life or whether we gave in and ended it all without a fight.

Over, under, around or through, there is always a way. The gods are childish, narcissistic asses that look at the human race as entertainment. We only get what we earn by working for it and there will be no one there to help us. Friends come and go. We can’t take anything with us and no one gets out of life alive. It is our decisions whether our lives are a beach or a bitch. If you want some good life lessons, some good outlooks on life, read some Erma Bombeck and Sherrilyn Kenyon. There are other great authors out there that, through telling their stories, have wisdom to give but these two are my favorites. Give it try, read instead of staring at your phone or computer screen or game console. Chronicles of Nick, Life is Like a Bowl of Cherries, House of Darke (by Colin R Parsons), Wizard’s Quest (by yours truly) are a few titles for life lessons through stories. Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm, Dangerous Minds, Divergent, a few other titles for what life could be, even the Harry Potter and Percy Jackson series’ can be more than entertainment if you really sit down and read them.

Don’t let politics, religion, nationality, or ideology cloud your mind. Life IS a bowl of cherries; all you have to do is spit the pits out and keep eating the sweet stuff….
