Proclamation

A National Thanksgiving

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and

Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness;”

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally, to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789.

Random Musings on Current Events 11.23.2024

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the front lines of a purple state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format and, yes, there may be some sarcasm thrown in.

What is up with Matt Gaetz? I wonder if he was duped by the establishment, deep state Republicans to give up his House seat only to yank the rug out from underneath him or is he really guilty of what he is being investigated for? Trouble is my cynicism for Washington D.C. has me believing the former rather than the later. However, the later definitely could be within the realm of possibility considering all of the dirty nasty evil that is dealt out in the halls of power.

It seems the dogs of war have not skipped a beat after the elections and especially before the inauguration of DJT. President Biden has authorized short range ballistic missile and anti-personnel mine use manufactured in the U.S. by the Ukrainians against Russia!? You have got to be joking me. One thing that I can say for certain is Vladimir Putin is not just a talker but a doer as well. These arrogant, pompous perfumed princes in D.C. and the west keep poking the bear and the outcome is not going to be good. I pray yet again that cooler heads will prevail because the specter of nuclear war is not a good one for anybody. A better idea would be to focus on the threats pouring across the US southern border which is much closer to home. Kind of like Vladimir Putin is focusing on his backyard.

Speaking of incompetent civilian leadership of the military. It seems Lloyd Austin is already defending the generals and admirals who are pushing DEI and who, undoubtedly pushed the untested jab on US military members. I certainly hope that there is a purge of general and flag officers who put their jobs and careers ahead of the health of those they lead and the defense of the United States.

I read that the San Jose State University woman’s volleyball team could win their conference championship by default because of the teams who refuse to play against San Jose State. Once again, I hope and pray that the judge in Denver will rule against San Jose letting a transgender player be on its woman’s volleyball team. A man who is shattering all sorts of female records in the sport. Quite honestly, San Jose should have to forfeit all of the games that this person has played in and all of the games that it has won by forfeit because other teams refused to play it. XX should compete against XX and XY should compete against XY.

I have not had much to say about Speaker Johnson but I do have to give him credit for drawing the line on bathrooms in the nation’s Capital. At least in the Capitol it will be XX using XX bathrooms and XY using XY bathrooms.

Laken Riley’s killer has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole which, to me, is the least of which that should have happened to him. Especially considering that he will now be in prison and probably join a gang and spread his poisonous evil to those that will eventually get out of prison and take the poisonous even with them. I suppose it is not my place to judge but it certainly makes me wonder.

Google might have to sell Chrome by order of the DOJ. So much is wrapped up in this that it is hard to sort out the wheat from the chaff. I for one think Google has way too much power and much of this power is thanks to government bureaucrats and probably even some intelligence agencies. Is this the solution? I do not know because I am certain the government officials, in whatever capacity they are in, will not be held accountable. However, I also know that Google needs to be shown for what it is and their leadership in no way puts constitutional rights above the pursuit of their own power and wealth. As I said tough to sort this matter out.

Speaking of tech behemoths, what about Amazon? Talk about a company with a seemingly insatiable lust for power and wealth. Amazon is everywhere.

Oh geez, Ellen DeGeneres has fled to England after the election of DJT. I hope you have fun in England Ellen and I am so sure it will be so much better for you there. I will not waste any more time on that subject.

Lastly, I for one hope the incoming administration leaves Jerome Powell mostly alone. If the administration is going to do anything it would be to eliminate the Federal Reserve completely which it will not do. So, just leave him alone and focus on the border, freedom of speech, and gutting the Federal bureaucracies to include the rot at the top of the military.

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.

Random Musings on Current Events 11.15.24

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the front lines of a purple state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format and, yes, there may be some sarcasm thrown in.

Nancy Pelosi has filed papers to run for Congress in 2026. Geez, that comes as a shock. How could I have believed for one New York second that a woman such as Mrs. Pelosi would voluntarily give up her seat in Congress? A woman who has enrichened her family and self on the backs of her constituents and the rest of America. A woman who had a Chinese intelligence agent as her driver for years. A woman who just tells us to allow laws to be passed and to read the details later. A woman raised in a household that bleeds cities, states, and now appears hell bent on bleeding a country dry while enrichening theirs and themselves. How could I have ever believed?

President (sic Elect) Trump with help from his team are busy nominating his Cabinet appointments and the pundits and media are greedy to report all the news. I, for one, am interested but only in passing. Time will tell how these appointments go and so I will reserve comment mostly because I am in no way qualified to comment intelligently. The general trend that I have noticed, so far, is that a percentage of his nominees favors those who currently are members of the House Senate or who have been. Does this mean anything? I have no idea as it is just an observation at the moment.

Reflecting on the previous paragraph, I suppose a level of cynicism pervades or perhaps clouds my ability to comment on anyone who has spent time in the swamp as a member of the House or Senate for more than one or two terms. The place really is a swamp and it certainly appears that the longer a person spends time in the morass the more susceptible to being corrupted one becomes. I really do think that perhaps the best way to address this is term limits for our Representatives, Senators, and perhaps a time limit for Senior Executive Staff (SES) level folk in D.C. I really have to question how centralizing power in D.C. is good for the country as D.C. is essentially a parasite on the collective wealth of the united states? Sure, there needs to be a presence in D.C. but does it need to be the behemoth that it has become? In the human body there are, in fact, some good parasites but if left unchecked they become bad parasites. It is obvious to me that D.C. has definitely fallen into the later.

I am happy to read reports that Generals and Admirals are scrambling at the news of DJT’s win. They should be because I have lost confidence in their ability to lead and I have mentioned this before. Are there some who are more warrior than politician? Maybe, however, after watching the way the senior leadership responded to the illegal orders of Secretary Austin regarding COVID jabs, I have my doubts and I wonder I need to be questioning DOD SES leadership as well, especially since they often advise senior military leadership. Trouble is I have some trepidation that the true warrior leaders may have left the military by choice or by force especially at the mid-grade and enlisted levels in the wake of the COVID bull that was foisted on the military. I, for one, am in favor of reinstating all who were forced out or who chose to leave the military early with back pay because of their refusal to take the untested, unlawful jab and to hold accountable all of those who bullied, coerced and forced others to take the unlawful, untested, poisonous jab.

I find it interesting that the Copper, Silver, and Golden States all took forever to count their votes in this most recently held election. Of course, all of the news focused on the Copper and Silver State’s elections and not the Golden States election but it was the same. The only difference is the Golden State has fallen completely into a petty third world status of one party rule. It now appears the rot from the Golden State is nearly complete in the Copper and Silver State and one has to wonder if future elections will be contested? It is so obvious with the passage of election laws during COVID and subsequently enshrined permanently in the Silver State during and immediately after by its super majority Democrat controlled legislature and its Nancy Pelosi backed governor that it will be a long tough road to have truly have two party elections. It is just too easy to figuratively “stuff” the ballot boxes in these states now. We may as well throw Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington into the mix as well. The one common denominator in the corrupting of these states is that the Golden State was the first state to be corrupted and it has spread from there.

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.

Random Musings on Current Events 11.8.2024

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the front lines of a purple state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format and, yes, there may be some sarcasm thrown in.

I have to congratulate the Trump team and their successful campaign electing Donald Trump to be the 47th President of the United States. Personally, I have taken a deep breath knowing the Marxist forces in the united states of America have been dealt a defeat. Of course, I know that their movement is far from being defeated and all one has to do is listen and watch Kamala Harris’ concession speech to see this.

Speaking of Harris’ concession speech I cannot help but wonder if it took her so long to concede because she had to be coached up to say just the right things and use just the right body language to signal the radical left wing elements of the Marxist movement in the united states of America to action. It was too eerily similar to Hillary Clinton’s concession speech in which the way she used Russia to seemingly activate the left wing opposition to action against Donald Trump. I can only hope that it is not the case but I am not confident of this in the least. In fact, I am quite aware of her use of “Constitutional” in her speech and do not believe it was for benign purposes what so ever.

The day after the election I had to opportunity to listen to a National Left Wing Socialist Radio (NPR) broadcast from Sacramento, California.  I will admit that I listened to the broadcast because I love listening to hear what these progressive mouth pieces have to say when their cause has been delivered a defeat and I find it satisfying. The broadcasters spent very little time on the national election as if they were pretending it did not happen which was a bit disturbing. What it tells me is that they are in by no way defeated over the long haul.

As if on cue, somehow, I stumbled upon a speech given by California Attorney General Rob Bonta while I was doing some work. When the speech started, I was busy doing work and not watching the television and only listening. When Mr. Bonta started speaking, I thought it was a computer generated voice because of the speeches cadence and tone which really caught my attention. I was listening to the words and I experienced a dissonance in my mind. Then I looked at the screen and I felt a disease that bordered on creepy and was very unsettling especially with Mr. Bonta’s call for California’s “progress” to prevail which, to me, means California’s Progressive, Marxist, Communist one party system to prevail.

Another California Progressive Marxist, California’s Governor Newsom has called for California leaders to prepare for battle against Donald Trump. Why does his rhetoric have to include martial terms and references? Haven’t we had enough of this in the united states of America? On the face of it one could argue that Mr. Newsom is sowing the ground for a Presidential run in 2028, however, there is something more nefarious afoot from what I can glean. California and New York City are ground zero for the Frankist Socialist movements in the USA. Just because President Trump has won his most recent election the Socialists are not even close to being defeated. All they have done is lost a battle but the war (pardon my martial language) is not even close to being over. Personally I believe it is time to reawaken and move the ideological battle front to California in addition to New York city where Donald Trump already has started. This is not a time for true Patriots to rest on their laurels or to sleep.

I read that Meta was denied permission to interconnect a proposed nuclear reactor somewhere in the Southeast of the usA. I am finding it interesting that Meta has now entered the nuclear power field in multiple places not least of which includes Three Mile Island. I am not sure what to make of this just yet but my curiosity is certainly aroused and it is on my radar, so to speak.

The Federal Reserve has cut interest rates another .25% and the news comes the day after the election. This does not surprise me too much and, quite honestly, the .5% cut a few months ago did not surprise me. Do I for one second believe inflation is in check? No, and I do not believe it will benefit me in the least. The Fed is walking a tight rope and I hope they know what they are doing because, considering the financial economy is so out of touch with the real economy, I really do not see how the cuts will help the real economy. Of course, I will be the first to admit that I am not a financial guru by any stretch of the imagination, my experiences are telling me there is not a lot of energy in the real economy. I hope President Trump can change some of this. One thing for certain is Donald Trump has a mandate of sorts from the American people to do so.

In parting, President Trump has a golden opportunity to shake up and clean up Washington D.C. much more so this time than he was able to last time. I hope he does so and that this includes the free lunch that power brokers like Nancy Pelosi have been able to provide the Frankish centers on both sides of the country. Personally, I am OK with letting California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Illinois states go wanting for federal money. Will it be hard on the citizens of these states? Yes, however, the alternative is far worse and perhaps some good will come out of it. These states did not rise to the preeminence that they once held with the help of the Federal Government. They rose because of free markets, free enterprise, free speech and the ability for its citizens to protect themselves and their property. It is time for the elites in these states be held accountable for their corruption, malfeasance, and quite honestly their ineptitude in the pursuit of self-aggrandizement and power. It is time, in my opinion, for the wool that has been pulled over the populations of these states to be pulled back.

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.

Random Musings on Current Events 11.3.24

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the front lines of a purple state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format and, yes, there may be some sarcasm thrown in.

I am a couple of days late posting my ramblings, rants, rumbles, and revelations this week. I suppose it is because I really have not been paying too much attention as I have been mourning the loss of my child three years ago who I call a victim of COVID. Not to the disease itself but a victim of the gross overreaction to what essentially was the flu. The overreaction of society and the poisoning of countless millions of people with an unapproved injection which ultimately led to the demise of my child.

Enough of my personal life, for now, and on to the rumblings.

In my introspective moments this past week I was just reminded of the election industry that has formed around, you guessed it, elections. As I continue to receive snail mail flyers, election robo calls, emails, and the worst of them election texts I cannot wonder at how much money is changing hands. The candidates and the machines that support them are constantly on the prowl for donations that in turn are used to fund all these mailings, emails, robocalls, and robo texts. All this capital being spent on useless services that could be spent on improving infrastructure and or being invested in businesses that provide service to a greater swath of society. Instead all of the capital is gathered from the productive businesses and people to be spent by politicians whose sole purpose, for most of them, is to get elected by spending the money on media and advertisements. I just have to ask myself what value does any of this provide me?

If the reader or two of my ramblings is wondering who I am voting for President it obviously is not for the Marxist/Communist liar that is running for President. I watched a collage or sorts on one of the purported MSM news channels detailing how many “changes” in her position she has taken in over the last few years. These included but are not limited to her stance on the border wall, and the second amendment. What strikes me is how brazenly crass she and her handlers are with regard to these issues. I say this because I do not believe for one second that she will not immediately revert back to her previous stances on these issues and that she is just saying these things to get elected.

Speaking of the MSM I have to wonder how much money they are making hyping their preferred candidates all in the name of generating viewership in order to sell advertising and keep themselves afloat? The polls show the candidates are virtually tied and as a person with a little bit of knowledge of statistics I am aware of how easily polls and statistics can be manipulated to serve one’s agenda. For the big media companies their agenda is about making money and in order to do that they need access to politicians and it seems will do anything to gin up viewership, clicks etc. It is like a spectator sport on the national and international scale. The media craves and is in fact addicted to the politicians feeding their spectators. In fact I have heard that each presidential candidate is approaching a billion dollars in campaign spending. How am I to believe or trust anything that comes out of their organizations?

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.
