Random Musings 8.29.20

Once again it is time for some Twitter (for those with a litigious bent there is a trademark symbol just after the “r” in the previous word) like random musings from the mind of a quiet, unassuming, at least in my own opinion, person observing the ramblings, rumblings and revelations in the media. Additionally, it appears that Twitter would most likely censor what I have to say any way and Facebook certainly would censor what I have to say.

I keep seeing the image of Senator Paul holding up the police officer who had been assaulted by the mob that had surrounded the Senator and the police escorting the Senator and his wife back to their hotel. This was not a peaceful protest nor a peaceful situation and nothing bad would have come from it had the police not been there. I find it frightening that these protests have gotten to the point that they have gotten. Furthermore, what bothers me are the thoughts that I am starting to have with regards to making myself prepared to defend myself and my love ones. Preparations that I never would have imagined that I would have to make in the United States when I was serving in Afghanistan. I ask why has this lawlessness been allowed to deteriorate the point that it has? It is also plain to see the ignorance of those who surrounded the Senator regarding his legislative agenda in general. Or was it truly not ignorance on the organizers of the riotous behavior but something more sinister at its roots?

Oh, and memo to LeBron James and your fellow NBA players since you have chosen to boycott the NBA for a couple of games? Well I am going to boycott the NBA for at least a season or two. Screw you and imaginary horse you rode in on! I will not support a Marxist sympathizer nor a Marxist sympathizing organization. I know there are racial injustices and I have witnessed it, but Marxism is not the answer and I will fight it. Get an education before you spout uneducated diatribes that bite the hand that feeds you. Or better yet, move to China since you seem to like the CCP better than the United States. Go ahead and renounce your citizenship and get the f*&k out of my country!!!

Mr. Silver, you and rest of the professional sports organization better wake up and wake up quick. You have lost me and others who have been lifelong sports fans for the first time ever are doubting whether they will continue being fans. Quite catering to the lowest denominator. Educate about the evils of racism yes but supporting Marxist organizations and movements is going to cost you if it is not already costing you.

Tim Cook, same to you. The status quo is probably not the best but Marxism is a dark dark road and if you think you will be immune good luck. I am sure there were some powerful businessmen in France, Russia, China, Vietnam, and Venezuela who thought they were immune too. That is unless they voluntarily took their knee to whatever dictator it was that rose to the top of the anarchy, chaos, and brutality.

So, Riot Kitchen members were arrested with gasoline filled fuel cans, helmets, gas masks, protective vests, illegal fireworks, attempted escape and are members of an Antifa linked terrorist organization? Let’s see a group from Seattle in Michigan, with instruments of violence, resisting search? Hmmm, I am sure there is a federal statue somewhere that can put these bad actors out of service for a while.

I was impressed and glad to see no Hollywood speakers during the RNC this past week. It may explain why I watched the whole convention after the first night. Oh, and that firework display was amazing! I wanted to be there and watch it firsthand and it reminded me how the Democratic Governor of my state put such a wet blanket on all the Fourth of July celebrations in my state. I will definitely not forget. I love, amongst many other one liners from President Trump’s speech, “The Biden agenda is made in China, mine is made in America.”

Oh yes and where is Kamala Harris denouncing the killing of Patrick Underwood in her hometown of Oakland, California? It disgusts me.

The Purge, great ad.

I read the three men shot by Kyle Rittenhouse were each a felon! He was using a weapon loaned to him by a friend who lives in Kenosha after helping his friend clean up graffiti all day and, additionally, he and his friend were asked by the owner of the auto shop to help in its defense. Again, it is good to let the facts come out before rushing to judgement regardless if waiting fits one’s narrative or not.

Once again it is time for some Twitter (for those with a litigious bent there is a trademark symbol just after the “r” in the previous word) like random musings from the mind of a quiet, unassuming, at least in my own opinion, person observing the ramblings, rumblings and revelations in the media. Additionally, it appears that Twitter would most likely censor what I have to say any way and Facebook certainly would censor what I have to say.

I watched the entire RNC telecast last night which, I admit, is the first live coverage of any convention I have watched since watching my first which was with my Grandparents in 1976. This was the convention that Ronald Regan lost to Gerald Ford and we all know how the election turned out in November of 1976. Something ironic about that is my grandparents were die hard democrats and had nothing good to say about “The Actor”.

First off, I enjoyed watching and listening to the five people take the Oath of Citizenship. I have to be honest that I have never listened nor read this oath before and I was humbled. To listen to these people voluntarily renounce allegiance to their previous government was as I just wrote, humbling. I think every high school civics or government class could include a reading of this oath. Having taken the military oath a few times I noted the similarities and differences. The one striking similarity that I noticed that both have the oath taker protecting The Constitution of the United States against all enemies both foreign and domestic.

Of course, this was a nice set up for First Lady Trump who herself has taken the Oath of Citizenship. For her speech I only have a couple of words and that she is a smart lady and one has to respect her journey based on her own merits at a minimum if nothing else.

Kentucky Attorney General Cameron rocked. He came across as poised, self-confident, intelligent and a politician. The last I would not consider a positive, however, the fact that his parents owned a coffee shop when he was young certainly helped to shape his outlook on life. In other words, I like his small business background and I hope he did not forget this in law school.

I noted after the conclusion of the RNC for the night Fox News had Chris Wallace speak last. What struck me is Chis Wallace’s talk about the president using the White House for a political convention and Secretary of State Pompeo being the first Secretary of State to speak at a convention. Ok, by themselves these are good points and should raise an eyebrow and Mr. Wallace did after pointing this out. However, let us take these comments into context. First, these are the first pandemic conventions with social distancing requirements and all the fear that comes along with a pandemic. Second, let us not forget all the other precedents that have been broken by the Democrats going back to President Roosevelt breaking through the two term limit and recently the weaponization of the DOJ and FBI against a political foe, and the completely partisan impeachment. Mr. Fox give me a break and I have to wonder why Fox gave Juan Williams and Chris Wallace the last word amongst pundits?

Ok, my mind took a dark turn this morning thinking about the possibility of a contested election as Hillary Clinton seems to be calling for. What if this goes on and the UN decides they need to send in “peace keeping” forces? Could this be the end game? No no no, the globalist elites would never endorse such a thing. Yes, there may have been some sarcasm dripping from the last sentence and yes, I agree it is far fetched but if I am thinking about it I have to believe someone else could be thinking about it.

Lastly, Kenosha, Wisconsin. The riots took a dark turn last night and not necessarily for the good. I see this afternoon that a young 17 year old has been arrested but I will not rush to judgement. I see the governor and others are now calling for an end to the violence and more National Guard is being called in. My first reaction is to say to the governor why did you wait for people to be killed? You had to know the way it was going to play out considering all that has happened this summer since the George Floyd death.

Quite honestly, I was beginning to wonder how long it was going to take before something like last night happened. When business owners, who are tax paying citizens, cannot expect or trust their government to protect their businesses there is going to come a point when the businesses owners are going to protect their businesses with or without the government. Governor Evers, and the other governors out there, can you blame the formation of groups like The Boogaloos from occurring? Remember the businesses pay taxes and license fees and provide employment. When you deliberately do not allow the police to do their jobs nor do you allow others to help people will be forced to take matters into their own hands or be destroyed. This is not a good thing because what this means is that people have lost faith in your government. This is dangerous and can lead to much pain and heartache. Quite honestly, the responsibility rests on the current batch of local elected leaders in my opinion. Elected leaders who seem unqualified, cynical, corrupt and or generally unsuited for their jobs.

Ok, I will admit I watched much of the Republican Convention coverage last night. It was absolutely refreshing to listen to the positivity instead the constant anti-Trump drumbeat. Despite the fact that Herschel Walker played for the dreaded Cowboys (I say that with tongue in cheek) I really liked what he had to say. Andrew Pollack, there are no words that can convey what he must have and continues to go through.

So, the Nielson ratings are out and evidently the viewership of the RNC is less than the DNC. Hmm, so the Nielson’s only poll for broadcast television? Talk about another irrelevant data collection organization. To the Nielson Management, “Did you get the memo that most conservatives no longer tune into broadcast media. This memo was probably sent more than eight years ago.” Leave it to the media, however, to use the Nielson’s as a source. If I were an advertising executive and I was supposed to design a marketing campaign solely around the Nielson ratings I would think that I would be summarily fired and banned from my profession. But then again, I am not an advertising executive. Let us not forget the Progressive Media Propaganda Networks also changed their coverage times for the RNC also. Just more noise to distort the facts. Blah blah blah

Wow! I just learned that Speaker Pelosi is from Baltimore and that her brother and father were Democratic mayors of Baltimore at one time going back to 1947.

Speaking of Speaker Pelosi does it ring hollow to anyone else that she is lecturing us all on how President Trump is a threat to the Constitution?

Oh yes, which reminds me, I loved how some of the speakers last night called out California and its failures under one party, Democratic Party, rule. Let us remember the Summer of Love movement that has, over time, morphed into the Summer of Hate movement began in San Francisco, Mrs. Pelosi’s hometown.

Speaking of ANTIFA, has anyone put together that Portland, Oregon metropolitan area is the home to Nike? Does anyone else find it interesting that the company who panders to Colin Kaepernick and Black Lives Matter is one of the wealthiest companies in Portland? I wonder if ANTIFA has rioted near the multi billion dollar company’s headquarters? I wonder how quickly the police and national guard would be called if that happened? I wonder if Google, Facebook, or Netflix have any operations in the Portland area? Too many questions and not enough answers.
