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, raves 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.
Happy New Year to all and may 2026 be a good year and God bless 2025 as we see it go into our rear view mirrors.
I first have to wish my condolences to the families of those killed in the Swiss chalet fire and to the family of Victoria Jones. I know there are parents grieving the loss of their children today as most days, however, it is in our faces because of all the media coverage today. God bless them all.
Who is Shlomo Kramer and who is he to be telling us that it is time to limit the First Amendment? Umm, Mr. Kramer the reason the First Amendment is in place was because of old world despotism and the desire of the early American colonialists to ensure that type of despotism did not take hold in the new world. Go back to Israel and stay out of my country! I am tired of pussy footing around with my language and so I will say it bluntly. You are an enemy of my country and should never be allowed to step foot in the United States. As far as I am concerned you are no Persona Non Grata.
Speaking of language I have come to the conclusion in the last week after talking with loved ones and mostly disengaging from all manner of media that I am tired of the attacks on my language. Let the preceding paragraph be a foreshadowing of sorts because I am tired of it and anyone who tries to tell me that my language is wrong or does not reflect reality when in fact it does, I know will consider them my enemy. For example, the use of pronouns and concerted effort to keep me back on my heals when determining what is correct for a transgender person. I am finished with the crap. I will refer to the person with the genetics that they are born with and if I cannot tell they are an it or a trans. I will continue to refer to a girl or woman as a she and a boy or a man as a he. They will refer to plural he’s, she’s or even trans. Anyone who tries to convince, bully, or shame me into the other is either a useful idiot or an agent of those who want to destroy the culture and society of the place in which I live.
Another church has burned to the ground in Europe only this time it was Amsterdam’s Vondelkerk church. It seems outside of the usual acts of nature type fires more and more churches have become the victims of arson. It is particularly interesting that in Amsterdam there purportedly was wide spread violence against the police and two dead from fireworks. Was the unrest a distraction when the church was the main target of political activists? This against the back drop of unruly North African gangs in Frankfurt, Germany and France causing mayhem and one begins to wonder if there is some sort of coordination behind these attacks?
My first perusal of the New Year included seeing that Zohran Mamdani took his oath of office over a Quran. Is it just me or does there seem to be a large portion of Muhammad worshipers who are socialists? I question whether they are truly socialists or are wrapping themselves in the flag of socialism when in fact they are truly Shariaists who will do whatever it takes to spread the caliphate in whatever form it is this century. Is socialism just convenient for these zealots because it always leads to the destruction of whatever society it is implemented in only this time Sharia will be the way that brings stability back. Either that or it will be Talmudic justice with a return of the Pharisees and Sadducees who want to limit the reach of the First Amendment and eliminate the anonymous use of the internet.
I remember that I am working to be a bit more positive and want to continue this into the New Year. I am grateful for family and the choice to browse anonymously on the internet if I choose. I am grateful for the founders of the united states of America and the wisdom and knowledge of human nature they had when they formed the Constitution and its Bill of Rights. Human technological prowess has expanded by nearly unfathomable amounts since the Constitution was written but human nature has not. It is the same, we are all fallen and we must guard ourselves at all time by those who seek to enslave and abuse us. I am grateful that the founders understood this and codified these rights for the first time, to my knowledge in human history.
God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me for my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.
