California Musings 6.13.25

I have been watching and reading coverage of the Los Angeles riots all week and there is no doubt that these were riots. There was violence towards people, in this case federal agents, and property as shown by the looting and the destruction of vehicles etc. These were not peaceful protests that were limited to a small area, as claimed by the Democratic/Socialist mayor of Los Angeles. They spread to other places in the Southland, Santa Anna for example, and around the country and were no doubt well organized as a response to joint federal agency enforcement raids. What disturbs me is what happened or did not happen in the following days.

The first disturbing thing that happened was the lack of response by California officialdom in the immediate aftermath throughout last weekend. Was it because Governor Newsom had dinner dates at the French Laundry with his mates and or was he too busy fishing somewhere in a shutdown portion of the Sacramento river for salmon that is not allowed to be fished? Was Mayor Bass off at another leftist’s inauguration while the city she is mayor of burned? I do not know but they appeared to absent while the LAPD police chief was overwhelmed. One thing for certain is that none of California’s elected officials have control of the streets in Los Angeles.

This leads to my next disturbing thought and that is if the political leaders are so tied up in their own incompetence, corruption and or ideology and to not have control of the streets in Los Angeles who does have control of the streets? What disturbed me is all of the Mexican flags being flown by the rioters in a US city. I find it coincidental that many of the rioters appear to be illegal aliens from Mexico kept these riots going after what I consider to be inciteful rhetoric was posted by the Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum who is whining about the possibility of remittances to Mexico being taxed while obvious criminal illegal aliens are being deported from the US. Once again, I have to ask myself who really controls the streets of Los Angeles and for that matter the state of California because it certainly does not seem to be the politicians. The politicians seem incapable of making their own talking points until they have been vetted by the national democratic socialist politburo who obviously takes weekends off and then takes at least 24 hours into the work week to dust off their weekend hangovers.

Now I move on to the fact that this part of the United States was part of Mexico at one time and it seems there are many who think it should still be part of Mexico. In fact, there was one Mexican Senator who was openly calling for and reminding Mexico that California was once part of Mexico and that it should still be part of Mexico. I also found it interesting that Claudia Sheinbaum, is now excusing and openly supporting the illegal immigrants, many of whom have drug cartel affiliations, in the United States in addition to opposing the tax on remittances in President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. It makes me wonder if President Sheinbaum concerned about the immigrants or more concerned about the money that they send back across the border and just how affiliated with cartel(s) is President Sheinbaum? I say this as reports have come back that many arrested in the raid that set off the riots are out right criminals. It would be really interesting to track and learn about any gang or cartel affiliations that they might have.

As I have been writing this piece over a couple of days, due to an extremely demanding schedule that has kept me busy on my real job, I have another thought creeping into my head. This is regarding the most recent flare up between Iran and Israel now moving to the front of the media cycle. I imagine the media has seen an increase in viewership over the week because of Los Angeles riots. Now they will probably move on because the powers to be really do not want any change in California and her policies. Even a Walton heiress is funding the riots, evidently, after all. There is just way too much money being made and the California Senators, Representatives, Governor, and other elites want their cheap labor. Perhaps this is really what it is all about. Even the cartels are top heavy with the leadership making an oversized proportion of wealth while the vast majority receive near poverty wages. Near poverty wages, which makes it easier to pay the rioters to cause insurrections whenever the elite’s way of life and standard of living is being threatened. A standard that allows for very little to no middle class.

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

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.

I will not speak to the Los Angeles riots as I have already commented on these in another post. However, I do have one question and that is what is happening with the residents and rebuilding of Pacific Palisades? It seems the news cycle is moving on and never comes back and I am afraid the same will happen again after the most recent riots.

Israel is attacking Iran and now everyone is on the alert in Israel and elsewhere for counterattacks. Geez, as I have mentioned in my other post, what timing. Perhaps this is being timed to coincide with the Flag Day, US Army birthday, and coincidentally Donald Trump’s birthday?

I am certainly sensing an overall unease reading the reports, learning about the planned protests this weekend ostensibly labeled the “No Kings” protests in opposition of President Trump. Interestingly enough there will be many rallies in support of the US Army’s 250^th birthday this month as well. Let us pray that there is no violence from either group and that they remain peaceful. One thing I learned is there is a line and when violence against property or people happen at any gathering it can be labeled a riot.

It sure seems obvious to me that the leadership of California and other Democrats around the country are taking their speaking cues from someone behind the scenes who is coordinating the points. Certainly there is nothing new here but it seems to be the same group or person doing the coordination as was before the election. They obviously have learned nothing and are continuing down the same path as before. They are either so myopic that they cannot see the error of their ways or, more nefariously, they are completely aware of it and are so rabid in the belief of the cause they are representing that they cannot change their ways. If the latter is true, they are, no doubt to me, fomenting an insurrection.

I noticed that a $100 million lawsuit has been filed by five J6ers against the Department of Justice. I do not know the specifics but I know it is around the events of January 6, 2021. I certainly understand that Pam Bondi is not the person responsible for what happened to these folks. However, I would hope that the institution takes note of this lawsuit as a learning experience, and if warranted, use the lessons learned to further purge the DOJ of folks who participated in the politically motivated prosecutions of those involved in the J6 protest which, by the way, was far more peaceful than what has and continues to be unfolding in Los Angeles.

Speaking of J6 I cannot believe the Democrat machine and media are still saying five people died during the J6 protests and small riot. They make it sound like they were violent deaths when four of the five were due to natural causes and only one death was a violent death. They also seem to never mention that the one death was caused by a Capitol Police officer shooting an unarmed woman to death.

Happy Birthday to the US Army on its 250^th birthday tomorrow.

And the beat goes on.

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

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.

The Donald Trump and Elon Musk bromance seems to be over. Geez, I have to wonder if there really ever was one and do I really care? The press sure seems to be making a big deal over it and so, therefore, there probably is nothing much to be made of it. So, I will just leave it at that.

Now what really is a big deal to me is the apparent use of the “auto-pen” during the Joe Biden presidency. I have to question whether or not Joe Biden was mentally fit and if not, who was really signing official presidential orders? To me this is a far more serious matter than Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s relationship.

It appears that Chuck Schumer is going the way of Joe Biden in that what he saying in public makes little sense and is not grounded in reality. Although, I will admit that Senator Schumer is different in that he prone to hyperbole as evidenced that his favorite saying is that everything that Donald Trump says or supports is going to cause everyone to die. OK, that last sentence might have been a bit hyperbolic but I hope anyone who reads this gets the gist.

I read something that California cattle ranchers are now having to deal with cattle deaths due to wolves making a come back and really can do nothing about it because of laws that prevent the hunting or shooting of wolves. Although if one thinks about it if they are allowed to hunt the wolves it probably would not really matter. I say this because in California the ranchers are probably not allowed to carry firearms on their own ranches in their own vehicles. If they are allowed to carry a firearm, they would have to probably transport the weapon in the engine compartment and the ammunition in the trunk with the weapons broken down. Additionally, if the ranchers were allowed a weapon, it probably only could be a bolt action rifle modified to only accept one round at a time that has to be manually fed.

I will admit that I just went a little bit hyperbolic in the previous paragraph and if you see sarcasm dripping from my example it is because there is sarcasm dripping. I will admit that I do not know the exact laws regarding firearms in California but I do know that it is nearly impossible for one to carry a sidearm in the state. I have to wonder what one is to do if they encounter a wolf pack while out in some of California’s back country? One certainly cannot open carry in California, it is next to impossible to obtain a concealed carry permit in California as a resident let alone a nonresident, and let’s say we could, then there are magazine restrictions that are only applicable in California. I tell you what makes more sense, for starters, is to implement a nationwide concealed and open carry law and strike down California’s magazine size laws. Sure one could say that the country would become like the Wild West but isn’t it already with lawlessness in the big Democratic Party run cities? Isn’t it time that the average citizen be empowered to protect themselves once again and to take personal responsibility for their wellbeing and not some overstuffed, self-aggrandizing pompous, power hungry bureaucrat in some state capitol or our nation’s capital?

I want to take a moment to acknowledge the sacrifice and honor of the fallen and those who participated in the invasion of Normandy, France eighty one years ago today and, for that matter, all of World War 2. Let us not forget the Greatest Generation and their sacrifices and grit to keep the world free for at least another couple of generations.

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.

I had to laugh when I saw a headline about Trump having the all-time lowest first 100 day approval rating, or something to that effect. It caught my eye because this has not been my experience and after the blathering about Trump and how unpopular he is along with some other nonsense I got to what I was looking for. The poll was sponsored by ABC News, The Washington Post, and Ipsos. At that point I yawned and realized the piece was nothing more than leftist globalist propaganda.

It seems the evidence is growing that the collision between the US Army Blackhawk helicopter and the commuter plane over the Potomac River several months ago was the result of the helicopter’s pilot error. I just have to wonder what was going on in her mind and in the cockpit which we will never truly know. May everyone’s souls who perished in that disaster rest in peace.

Oh my goodness Bezinga and Yahoo reported that the International Monetary Fund and the US Bureau of Economic Analysis are saying that California now has the 4^th largest economy in the world!!! Of course, California governor Newsom made sure to announce this and I am quite certain that he is taking credit for this. Yet again, however, I have to question the source and means by which this metric was derived? I question this because though California may have the fourth largest economy in the world how come it has a large homeless problem? Why is there great economic disparity between the haves and the have nots? Why is industry leaving the state and yet it still goes up in terms of its economic size? How can it have a large economy when it cannot even manage its electrical infrastructure grid and the forests that surround it? Why can’t this state complete infrastructure programs on time and on budget. No, this article did not pass the smell test and is yet another article reeking of propaganda from a state full of corruption.

The jobs report came out and beat expectations despite the shrinking of government jobs. It seems that around 90% of the jobs created came out of the private sector, which to me is good news. Now, let’s cut the corruption in California as well and see what really happens with its economy and allow its middle class to flourish instead of its continual decline into a petty third world oligarchy.

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.

I really feel bad for Harvard, Colombia, Brown, Princeton, Northwestern, Cornell and other institutions of “higher” learning losing some government funding and say that with sarcasm dripping, no flowing, from every word. You have got to be kidding me with the huge endowments that these universities have and they are belly aching over the loss of government funds?!? I have said this before and I will say it again. I observe the state of the United States and the fact that most of the leaders and leading class come from these universities and it all adds up. The institutions are cesspools of Frankist ideology and have become dead weight if not outright anchors to the wellbeing and prosperity of the united states of America. Here is an idea, take the funding that has been promised to these institutions and allocate them to infrastructure repair and development.

For some reason I missed that nearly 100,000 Americans die each year currently from fentanyl poisoning and the main supplier, which I already knew and learned of around 2005, of fentanyl precursors in China. Additionally, many of the major computer hacks of US Government systems and databases recently have come from China, the CCP’s Thousand Talent program, the publication of the CCP Doctrine of Unlimited Warfare in 1999 all point to the CCP being a direct enemy of the united states of America. For me it has been obvious for at least a decade but it seems not to obvious to many of our gilded elite leadership. However, considering the paragraph above and where most of this gilded elite has received their educations is it any wonder? Let’s not forget over 100,000 Americans die each year because of Chinese unlimited warfare against the united states of America. Paraphrasing Sun Tzu he said the best way to defeat an enemy is to defeat it before any battles are fought. Do I need to make it clearer?

Oh my goodness my sides ached with laughter when I read that the White House eliminated the entire wire services from its press pool. This after the AP and Reuters whined to CNN about losing their seats in the press pool. I think the mainstream legacy media should all read Spenser Johnson’s book “Who Moved My Cheese” because the cheese has moved.

So there is movement in the antitrust cases against Meta and Google and I am not following all of the detail but it is about time. I just know if it is enough or without teeth considering I do not know the details. What I find fascinating is there has been no moves against Jeff Bezos’ Amazon and I have to wonder why? What does he have that provides him with overarching protection from the US Government’s regulators when Amazon has exhibited predatory and monopolistic behavior for decades now. Is it because he does not get involved in politics, does he have lucrative government contracts on the dark side as well as the light side or any combination of these and other things going on? What about Bill Gates and Microsoft? Yet another company that is a darling of those in government circles it just makes me wonder as Skype has been officially subsumed into Microsoft Teams. It truly is fascinating to me.

It appears that the FBI is finally doing something as I read that some contractors have been arrested for chem trail spraying otherwise known as weather modification in the atmosphere. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about this until I went outside the other day and observed two planes flying, one at 36000 feet and the other at 38,000 feet and both had taken off from the same airport. The plane flying at 38,000 feet had a trail that went from horizon to horizon while the plane at 36000 feet had an obvious contrail considering that it disappeared within seconds of leaving the plane. I thought to myself that perhaps the atmospherics at the different altitudes caused the difference when I noticed a plane flying at 34000 feet. This plane flying at 34000 feet left a trail from horizon to horizon and so it has become apparent to me that there is definitely something going on here that needs further investigation.

One last item is that I cannot believe how much power one District Court Judge can have over the powers granted to the Executive to protect the borders of the united states of America. I am not going to go into detail but I just read of yet another judge, this time in California, ruling against a Trump Administration policy. Something needs to be done about this but, again, I would imagine these judges have received their educations, albeit indoctrinations in one of the elite Frankist institutions in the country.

It seems that the perpetual need for evil to consolidate power is rearing its ugly head yet again in my part of the world. Doesn’t one just got to love when legislative bodies meet and outside interests work to corrupt politicians in order to enrich themselves at the expense of the common man?

I am watching the never ending drama of a federal circuit judge shutting down the executive in what appears, to me at least, a gross overreach of judicial power. I am reminded of all the conservative propositions that have been voted in by California voters and then overturned by the state’s Supreme Court. Do you think this may have been an overreach of power by the Judicial and that it was a proving ground for these corrupted judges? Hmm, it certainly makes me wonder.

Is there anyone else who sees the apparent hypocrisy of an institute of higher learning, say Columbia, fuming about government interference in the case of Kahlil or Kalid or whatever his name is, when Columbia is more than willing to accept federal funds?

I am watching the unfolding of Signalchatgate with amazement and amusement. Amazement at how much hay the MSM is making with an incident that is already being dealt with. Amusement at how easily the MSM and the Dems have fallen for yet another information operation that was obviously designed to serve notice to the EU and WEFies in Europe.

So I am learning that there are bureaucrats who are pushing stringent antibiotic policies for the nation’s meat farmers, in particular beef and chicken. This while chicken and beef supplies are at their lowest levels in many years. So let me get this straight. The bureaucrats are pushing new and improved so called vaccines and not letting these flocks and herds develop their own immunity. This while big pharma rakes in the profits from selling these vaccines. Geez, am I the only one that does not see the potential for corruption in this model?

Is there anyone else who is laughing at the leftist Democrat response to what Donald Trump and his team are doing? I certainly am.

Speaking of another point of laughter, concern, or perhaps just observing the light get shed upon a corrupt government I was amused to see that the Mexican President, Claudia Shinbaum, is moving to protect the drug cartels by changing her country’s constitution. I have long postulated that there is no way anyone can become the President of Mexico without support of at least one of the drug cartels. I believe her actions in light of the US Government designating several of the Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations is definitive proof now. It is obvious that the government of Mexico has no interest in seeing the end of these criminal cartels that run drugs and people that enrich so few Mexicans while keeping its middle class very small and the majority of its citizens living in near poverty conditions.

Congratulations too by the way to Kash Patel receiving the confirmation to be the head of the FBI.

I have to admit that there is a part of me that is waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop. I do not trust the CIA, FBI, other deep state actors and the globalists to remain quiet through all of the cuts and exposure by DOGE.

Seeing the news of Los Angeles mayor, Karen Bass, deflecting and placing the blame of the devastating fires on others just reaffirms my conclusion that California is a failed state. I, for one, am hoping that the Feds put strings on all aid to California and not just for the fire response. Personally, all federal payments to California and how the money is spent should be DOGE’d and or audited. There is no way the current group of incompetent, corrupt hacks could maintain their power in the golden state without the federal funds that are continually being used to prop up its finances.

Speaking of California I took a drive in the last couple of weeks and entered the state from one of its neighboring states on a smaller state highway. Transitioning on the highway from its neighboring state to California the general condition of the highway became much worse that in California’s neighboring state? Why is this I have to ask myself considering I have now entered the state from three different states and traveled several of its more remote state highways. All of these highways are in a general state of decline and the lack of maintenance is evident. While I am at it where did the $7 billion dollars approved in a 2014 proposition to expand water storage go? Perhaps it went to the same place funds to maintain California state highways went?

I am watching about the actions of DOGE and the loss of funding going to USAID and others and I have to wonder how many NGOs and non profits will remain after the cutting is finished? One thought that crossed my mind is I wonder how much this spending has contributed to inflation? All of these government dollars chasing the same goods and services that I have to buy and without this government backing I wonder what it will be like with fewer government dollars chasing these goods and services?

For some reason I have the song “California Dreamin’” by the Mamas & Papas in my mind but quite honestly what I have floating around in my mind is more like “California Nighmaring”. My nightmares start with the OpenAI whistle blower being found dead in San Francisco. Upon learning of this all I can think is that OpenAI’s meteoric rise must be due to a government agency’s influence (i.e. CIA, FBI). To me the evidence is in that a whistle blower has been suicided. I wonder how many unexplained deaths and suicides occurred when Google, Facebook and Amazon were in their ascendancy that we did not know about because the internet was still in its infancy.

Speaking of some more California Nightmaring it appears that California’s Governor Newsom is declaring an emergency over bird flu at the same time I hear reports of more bird flu around the country. Does anyone else see a pattern late in the year eerily similar to late 2020? I have to wonder if Governor Newsom made his decision from the French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley? I also have to wonder what the state of California’s budget is because I wonder if he is angling form some more Federal pork? Perhaps there was a bailout of some sort or another that Nancy Pelosi snuck into the failed continuing resolution? Perhaps, there is a line item in the money being allocated for disaster relief for California’s disaster known as its state government and ruling elite.

Mitch McConnell threw the polio card out against his support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation. Geez Senator McConnell, were you too busy crafting up the pork laden continuing resolution over cigars and bourbon with Reps. Jeffries and Johnson and Senator Schumer to dream up something original to attack RFK Jr. with? Maybe you should ask the pharmaceutical lobbyist, CCP agents or whomever paid your campaign and is employing you to at least draft up something original to attack him with. It is obvious they are more important to you than the American people after all waiting to the end of the year to attempt to push this CR laden with pork through. Here is an idea, why don’t your four stay in Washington through the Holidays working on this CR in a manner that suits the majority of the American people, let the rank and file off, and wait until they come back to vote on this. Or better yet, why don’t you step aside, a little early in Senator McConnell’s case, and let some adults who value other American’s time and resources do the job you four have so miserably failed at.

Eliminate Daylight Savings Time once and for all! I really do not see any good reason to have it and the argument that farmers have for having more daylight at the end of the day is bull pucky. Farm animals rise with the sun no matter what time it shows on a clock and yes, they roost, go to bed, or whatever animals do when the sun goes down. That is unless they are nocturnal and opposite occurs at sunrise and sunset. If someone has problems with not enough daylight at the end of the day start your day an hour earlier in the summer. If anyone who has had to work outside knows a lot of trade people start their days earlier in the summer to avoid the midday heat. In other words, get up earlier and quit your whining.

Wow, the Syrian regime sure fell quickly over the past couple of weeks. There have been so many times in the past that I thought the Assad regime would fall I kind of figured the same would happen again. From my view point I can only attribute the fall this time due to it coming on the heels of Israel’s incursion into southern Lebanon and the election of Donald Trump.

Speaking of Donald Trump I have to say again that it already seems that he is representing the united states of America on the foreign stage. This past weekend it seemed like he was already the President as he sat at the re-opening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. In fact, even the archbishop of Paris came over to shake DJT’s hand. Where in the world is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?

I think it is time Major General Randy Manner to retire or be retired. I have to believe after hearing his comments with Senator Kennedy that he is the fascist and not the MAGA people that you believe are fascist. General you need some perspective and should quit living off the federal teat. If I were the Commander in Chief, I would not trust you for one second to carry out the orders that I have given. General you are an example of the rot that exists in the Pentagon and have no business leading war fighters.

What is up with the drone swarms and why is the Biden administration ducking and dodging much the same way they ducked and dodged the Chinese surveillance balloon that floated its way all across the united states? There is something not adding up here and it is this sort of bull that I hope the DJT administration can clear up. It is obvious the military and administration are covering something up and just saying we have no idea what these are is ridiculous. Last I checked the military’s number one mission is to protect the homeland, full stop, end of story. The military’s number one mission is not in the Ukraine nor Israel or wherever else it might find itself supporting the CIA and other dark agencies money laundering schemes. Time to get real and I hope it happens with DJT’s administration coming in to office.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation had over two dozen confidential informants evidently at the capitol on January 6, 20201. Wow! Shocker there and so now I must ask the question that if this is the number they are willing to declassify how many were really there and what is the number for agents that were there that they are unwilling to declassify? Is it a coincidence that Christopher Wray resigned the day before this report was released? How come we still know nothing of substance regarding the Butler, PA assassination attempt of DJT? Didn’t the FBI take the lead in that investigation. Why do we even pay for the FBI an organization that has become so politicized that it is frightening. Terms like Stasi and FSB come to mind.

It seems that Britain is going to make puberty blockers to under 18 year old people illegal. Now it is time for the same to happen in the united states of America. For goodness’ sake, it is illegal to sell alcohol to those under 21 in most if not all states yet they can get puberty blockers? I get there could be a valid medical reason but I would hazard to guess that most of those receiving them now are not a matter of life and death but rather a vector for big Pharma to push business in support of twisted social ideas.

I had to laugh when I read that Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown came out and discussed how San Francisco and the rest of California has, “…gone beyond the original parameters of the sanctuary state law he signed…”. Well geez Governor Brown do you think so? Do you think the social democrats that usurped, stole, and took power in California may have gone overboard in some other areas as well?

A Boston, Massachusetts high school dean was arrested on drug trafficking recently in the heart of where the corrupt pedophile priest scandal broke decades ago. There certainly is some rot in that city and that I would imagine John Adams is rolling over in his grave yet again. Yet another disaster riddled big city that has been run by Democrats for generations.

Finally, on the eve of the annual Army-Navy football game it seems that someone at West Point tried to smear Pete Hegseth saying that he did not receive an appointment to West Point. Of course, which is a point in Mr. Hegseth’s favor, he was able to produce his appointment letter. Yet another example of the fear that the military elite have of DJT and what he might do and who he might appoint. It is obvious a general at the academy tried to smear Mr. Hegseth because there is no way the announcement would have been made without their consent. What’s more it just further goes to show their arrogance and at worst case their incompetence.

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.
