Random Musings on Current Events 8.26.22

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 lines in an increasingly blue state.

I learned some new terms today and these are Milankovic Cycles and anthropogenic CO2 to describe, respectively, the long term changes in the tilt of the earth’s axis and manmade sources of CO2. It seems the Milankovic Cycles have a frequency of about 41,000 years and can explain the comings and goings of ice ages. Am I to believe that what man has put into the atmosphere in the last 100 years compares with the tilting of the earth’s axis when it comes to changes in the environment? 100 years is 2/10 of 1% of the time for one Milankovic Cycle. I am supposed to believe there is an environmental crisis based on this information? I do not think so.

It seems that Americans for Limited Government conducted an internal poll asking its supporters and subscribers who they would be least likely and most likely to vote for President in 2024. Not surprisingly, and refreshing to know, that I am not alone the results have Liz Cheney followed by Mitt Romney as those they would be least likely to vote for. President Trump followed by Governor DeSantis are those who they would definitely vote for.

Oh my goodness! The FBI is coming to counties and harvesting individual concealed carry permit information as reported in Missouri. Fortunately, for the citizens of Missouri, their Attorney General, Eric Schmitt, is fighting this gross overreach and in my opinion abuse of power by the FBI. I say stay out of my business you bloated, power hungry, and corrupt organization. What frightens me is I can easily guess that the Attorney General of my state, I would imagine a Pelosi Democrat, will do nothing to prevent this from happening.

Democratic congressional candidate Christina Bohannan is boasting that she worked as an environmental engineer when, in fact, she was an engineer intern and worked for the Department of Environmental Protection in Florida. So, to educate those who are not aware of the title Engineer and how it pertains to the Engineering profession, one cannot claim to be an Engineer without obtaining the title Professional Engineer. To obtain this license, it requires 8 years of experience of which 4 to 6 years can be offset by years of education in most jurisdictions depending upon whether a bachelors or master’s degree in engineering is obtained. So, in Ms. Bohannan’s case, she would have her four years of school (intern years do not count as experience) and would need another four years of experience to use the title of Engineer. Granted she did obtain the title Engineering Intern which she can use, however, it must specifically be spelled out as Engineering Intern. I can say from my experience the four years of experience truly makes a difference especially if the experience is obtained in the private sector. Of course, she is a professor at the University of Iowa’s law school which explains her hypocrisy and manipulation of language.

Citi Group is predicting 18% inflation in the UK! I should be happy that it is so much lower in the US but I am not. After all, anyone with any wits knows this is closer to the reality in the US as well.

The local Gannettoid in my hometown just had a headline that reads, “How the pandemic created a seismic shift in (state’s) election system.” Yes, it did create a shift. A shift in which the Democratic super majority in the Legislature, late on a Friday evening while meeting online during the Wuhan Virus fraud, passed emergency mail in balloting. This same legislature subsequently made permanent the rule changes at their next regularly scheduled convening. Of course, the Pelosi machine backed governor of my state signed the bill making mail in balloting permanent. I suppose that has been a seismic shift. A shift that, in my opinion, has made it much more difficult to ever see a serious Republican contender again. It seems that California has taken one step closer to turning my state into a third world petty one party oligarchy as has happened to California.

I sure wish I had not paid off my student loans, albeit I paid them off early and more than twenty years ago, because I could sure use some debt relief or a $10,000 payoff better yet. I have written in the past how the only new office buildings being built where I live are at the local university. The university has purchased entire blocks around its perimeter and has been expanding into these blocks for years. How is it that while the economy is faltering the University is expanding? How does the J. Biden administration have the authority constitutionally to forgive these loans? Why have tuition rates continued to outpace inflation in the last decades and yet incomes have not? Is it, perhaps, because most of the institutions of higher learning in our country are nothing but an industry to bilk people and the taxpayer out of money while providing cover to enemies of our Constitutional Republic? What value and values are most of these institutions really providing? Once again, more questions than answers but the one fact that remains is that there is something seriously wrong with what is happening in these “institutions of higher learning”.

Dr. Fauci may be retiring but I will never forget the appearance of fraud, violations of US Federal Law and violations of the Nuremberg Codes (international crimes) that appear to swirl around him. Whether he is purely a figure head, or not, he is the embodiment of all that is wrong around COVID. It is my belief that he and his cohorts need to be investigated under the full extent of the law both nationally and internationally. Do I believe it will happen? No, he probably has the same lawyers that Paul Pelosi has.

It looks like the Shi’a in the Obama, I mean Biden, administration are firmly in control and ready to flex their power even more with the Iran Deal being pushed through. Is it any wonder why homosexuality and child rape normalization are being pushed? Isn’t this business as usual in states and regions of the world where Sharia and or Islamic Law is the law of the land? Sometimes I feel that the ancient war between Greece and Persia is still being waged.

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

The current event most prominent in my world now is that it rained for several hours last night in the middle of August which is highly unusual. The dust has been cleaned off everything outside leaving the colors much more brilliant. What’s more is there is no smoke, so far, this August for the first one in years from California. Evidently, the arsonists have moved to western Europe, for the time being at least, and are setting fires there.

The “Inflation Reduction Act” has been passed and signed by Joe Biden into law. Geez, I feel so much better now knowing that Washington DC has my back. Perhaps I should buy some body armor to protect my back?

I took pause and remembered the debacle of the United States’ final withdrawal from Afghanistan this week on its first anniversary. I have written about this already for Memorial Day and will not go too far into it. What I will say is that I still see that no one being held accountable for the debacle.

I read that James Carville, The New York Times, and other leftists claim that the Republican Party is the greatest threat to democracy in this country. Mr. Carville and others let me check the facts. The last time I read history, if it has not yet been changed by the Ministry of Information, all socialist states demand larger governments with more centralized control and taxes and the government control to support their central governments. The extremes being NAZI Germany, USSR, Communist China and the less extremes being Sweden and other Nordic States. Who really is the greatest threat to democracy? I feel that Mr. Carville you should give up your residences so that I can get my fair share for missing work this past year to grieve the death of my child. After all, don’t you and others in your camp believe in the redistribution of wealth axiom of Marx “…each according to his need?”

I had a routine visit with my doctor this past week and it seems that I am getting healthier. My blood sugars have declined, my cholesterol has declined, and all other metrics are the same. To be honest I am not really working out anymore that I have the past couple of years, I have experienced the death of a child, in my grief I have not worked as much and therefore my income has declined and it makes wonder how this is so? The only thing that I can think of is I retired from the nation’s military reserve and it is now more than a year since I have taken a vaccine of any sort. The last couple of vaccines that I had were flu vaccines for the previous 4 years that I took to maintain my status in the armed forces reserves. Obviously, I chose not to be part of the FDA Phase 3/4 (unclear to me which phase this really is) clinical trial of the mRNA drugs which is the reason I chose to retire from the military when I did. So, I attribute it to a decrease in stress from either being on the hook for war and additionally my body is purging itself of all the garbage that has been injected into me for years. I thank God every day that I chose to be part of the mRNA experiment as a member of the non-injected test group.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bouria has COVID after being vaccinated four times. Interesting, I have never taken the mRNA injection, survived COVID albeit I did take Ivermectin, and have not had COVID since except for maybe once. I say once because I had a similar immune response as I did when I had COVID and my immune response was unlike anything I had ever had. The only difference is the immune response the second time lasted no more than a day and were far milder than the first time.

Speaking of which I commend Novak Djokavic for not bowing down to the US, Australia and other countries requiring the mRNA injection to enter their countries. On the other hand, I condemn the US, Australia, and other country’s bureaucratic institutions and their leaders who keep pushing this ineffective, unnecessary, and it appears to be deadly in some cases injection. I certainly cannot blame Mr. Djokavic and others who do not support the Fauci Tax that ultimately may be paid with their health and possibly life.

For the first time in many months, I went to my local Amazon Whole Foods Market and was struck by the number of people wearing face diapers in the store. Is this a foreshadowing of what the “Big Tech Masters of the Universe” have in store for us plebeians this fall?

Does anyone else find it interesting that President Biden is slow rolling the Taiwan Policy Act of 2022. Does anyone else find it ironic that Mitch McConnell’s Senate wrote the bill? Does anyone else believe that the bill would have been written if the Presidency was held by anyone other than the Joe Biden cabal? All one needs to do is look at who supported Liz Cheney and not be suspicious of Leader McConnell’s intentions and wonder if it is just another media theater orchestrated for the “base” knowing it will never pass.

Now there is human to dog transmission of Monkey Pox virus evidently. Pardon me but I want to vomit. I am supposed to support this lifestyle? F*&k You!

Liz Cheney was soundly defeated and by so much so that not even voter fraud could ensure her victory in Wyoming’s primary. Good for Wyoming, it is not a surprise to me, and thank God for it.

I read this morning that President Trump is considering the releasing of footage from the FBI’s raid of his home and that the FBI demanded the security cameras be turned off when they raided his home. What did they have to hide? Honestly, I am laughing out loud reading the reports and imagining what sort of squirming and puckering is happening inside the DOJ at the moment if it is true. If it is true, I hope he releases it, especially if the FBI is really hiding something. At the same time, I have had a more humbling and sobering thought considering those of us Americans who do not have the resources that Mr. Trump has and how would we be able to protect ourselves from out of control public agencies if we were in the cross hairs so to speak?

Speaking of which, do I really expect the Judge who issue the warrant to search President Trump’s residence to release any meaningful part of the affidavit? Not really, the drama surrounding all of this is yet another way to draw out and garner ratings for the establishment media and if there is anything incriminating in the affidavit it would just shed light on his issuance of the warrant. If he or the DOJ has nothing to hide then they would not be afraid to release the affidavit.

How come Big Tech has not been unionized yet? I would think Big Tech would welcome unionization considering their support of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party’s “support” of unions.

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

Council for Inclusive Capitalism? Wow! That sounds like a benevolent and inclusive organization that will do wonders for the world. My apologies if you could not hear, see, or feel the sarcasm dripping in the previous sentence because I certainly felt it typing.

San Diego Public Schools bring back Mask Mandate. Huh? Did I just actually read that?

Why is Congress voting on a “competition bill” next week that gives the semiconductor industry a $52 billion subsidy? Oh yes, it appears, that Paul Pelosi recently bought $5 million in stocks of Nvidia last week. That must be why we need to give them a subsidy. I mean, duh! He needs money to pay attorneys and whoever else to get out of his DUI after all. Sheesh, of course, isn’t that normal?

Oh my goodness Monkey Pox in coming! Monkey Pox is coming and Anthony Fauci just announced his retirement at the end of Joe Biden’s term. What are we going to do!?!? Of course, it could be two weeks or 6 years depending upon how long his doubles stay alive and the election rigging goes unchecked. I suppose Mr. Fauci needs to pad his retirement account a bit more so once again, Monkey Pox is coming! Monkey Pox is coming!

I just learned that, evidently, as part of the latest spending bill Representative Schiff inserted language that would remove all congressional over-site of the military. Included in the language is that the biggest threat to the United States is its own citizens. In a sense I must agree with that language. The only trouble is the biggest threat to the Constitutional republic, in my opinion, is Rep. Schiff and others in the Uni Party. That this would give the President dictatorial powers, as some say, I am not so sure. Others that I have listened to have said it is nothing new and all it does is codify what the President already does. My thought and injection into this discussion is that Congress still has the power of the purse and could just shut funding off and take back the powers that it has ceded to the Executive Branch. A very mean feat I will admit but still within its Constitutional powers, nevertheless.

I read that California’s Governor Newsom still has not lifted “states of emergencies” in counties throughout the state of California. This in turn has given counties justification to keep rent protections in place. This is an overt attack on the middle class. Solano County, for instance, says rent protections will continue for 90 days after the state of emergency terminates and there is no scheduled termination date. Isn’t this a gross overreach of executive authority? Where is the legislative branch to step in and limit this executive authority? A never ending emergency to justify the continuation of dictatorial powers. Isn’t this similar to President Biden’s discussion of declaring a “climate emergency”? Just another instance that the Legislative branch has ceded unconstitutional authorities to the Executive branch in the name of an emergency with no check or limits on the authorities. The socialist/communists saw what they could get away with in COVID and continue to abuse and or look for more ways to abuse these authorities.

A central bank digital currency? We may as well be getting the mark of the beast tattooed on our foreheads. If people do not think that people in their government will track them, they are either naive, to ignorant of history or to drugged up to care. Thanks to JP for the enlightenment on the last portion of the previous sentence because it is so true in so many cases.

So, BMW wants to be able to charge monthly to be able to use the seat heater in a car that you supposedly own. Tesla essentially needs to update their vehicles software regularly or the car that you bought from them will shut down similar to Microsoft always pushing updates to the computers we own but obviously do not control. Does anyone but me see the problem here? One pays money for a vehicle and then must pay licensing fees to use the vehicle. Not only that but if anyone, for instance the government, wants to shut “your” vehicle down and track where your vehicle travels, they can do so. Quite frankly the thought of it gives me a bad case of indigestion.

So, if anyone believes we should listen to the greens and adopt all their policies I suggest they pay a visit to Sri Lanka.

I just spoke to two people who paid separate visits each to different local grocery stores. In one of the stores, part of a large regional chain, the store manager told my friend that the sheer volume of price hikes per week has lessened a bit. At one point they were raising the price on average of 75 items per week for several weeks. Additionally, my friend noted that items on the shelves are being spread out in several places as several items are out of stock. This leads me to my other friend’s observation. In the grocery store that they normally frequent there are two sections of chest freezer normally containing meat for sale that are covered up and out of use.

God bless America both to those who are patriots, those who are enemies and to those who fall somewhere in between.

Random Musings on Current Events 7.15.22

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.

Ukrainian President Zelensky claims Russia fired deliberately, purposefully at ordinary houses. Ok, this is war and atrocities happen undoubtedly. However, I do not know the full story. Perhaps the “ordinary house” was being used to shoot at Russian troops? Perhaps, it really was not really an ordinary house. President Zelensky, you messed up when you listened to your CIA handlers and allowed a war to happen between you and your next door neighbor who happens to be a big brother that you do not get along with. If you expect the United States to be able to support you just ask Poland what happened to them when England promised to support them before WWII.

Netherlands farmer’s revolt over what I have heard are nitrogen emissions or pollution or something else about nitrogen. This, to me, does not make sense considering crops require nitrogen to grow and our atmosphere comprises something in the neighborhood of 89% nitrogen. What really is at play here? Who is behind these “environmental” regulations and what is their real end game? Something is a foot here and it seems anti life and as if someone or something is trying to really disrupt the world’s food sources. I cannot help but think about how Stalin starved the Ukrainians and how the English starved the Irish. It would not be the first time food has been used as a weapon for certain.

I read that the price of gold and silver are falling because the price of the dollar is strengthening. This because there is “…flight from the Euro and Yen to the dollar”. So let me think about this for a New York second. People are dropping fiat currencies and fleeing to another fiat currency because that particular fiat currency is the world reserve currency because Saudi Arabia has, up to this point, only traded its oil in this particular fiat currency. Saudi Arabia’s crown prince has stated that Saudi Arabia should be willing to trade its oil in other currencies to “balance” the world’s economic powers or something to that affect. Uh oh, how long will the paper gold and silver traders be able to keep their charade up? It is becoming apparent to me that, perhaps, the gold and silver trader’s paper could be fiat at this point as well.

China has an increase in COVID outbreaks leading to shutdowns at the same time banks are beginning to fail in China. Is this coincidental or are they related? Call me cynical but I would not be the least bit surprised that a power hungry elite controlling the largest population on earth would use a virus to imprison their people as the specter of bank failures and increasing riots loom. If they had free and fair elections, I would think that they might even use a virus to rig the elections but I am not the least bit cynical.

Interesting that Canada is allowing Russia’s Siemens repaired turbine be returned to Russia. A turbine that Russia owns by the way. I guess Canada blinked because of the threat of Europe freezing this winter. I wonder how many people realize that Siemens Canada was once a Westinghouse facility, an American company, that built turbines?

NPR Tweets about Shinzo Abe’s death and called him an ultra-nationalist. This while President Obama, woops, I mean President Biden used his death as a platform to call for gun control. These people have no respect for life or death.

I learned a new term this week and it is called Dragflation and it means inflation rises while an economy declines. It seems some are predicting just this for the US and other post COVID economies around the world.

Rest in Peace Ivana Trump and my condolences to your family.

God bless America both to those who are patriots, those who are enemies and to those who fall somewhere in between.

The Sowing of Chaos

I talked with my spouse and some of her family members this past weekend and found myself a bit resigned to what they were saying. I think what I struggled with is they seem really good at regurgitating what they have been told by whatever media source it is that they are listening to. One, obviously, was listening to a lot of Fox News, another to some alternative news sites and others who obviously were listening to other legacy news sources. I think what led to my sense of feeling resigned is how unoriginal their thinking and reasoning processes were and the lack of solutions to the problems they are being fed by the propaganda press. I asked them to take their listening and mental processing a step further, but I am not sure they heard me. A step further than just being able to regurgitate what is being told to them, to think about what the news means to them, at the same time to ask themselves if what is being reported important to them and why might the media claim it to be important? Again, I am not sure if they heard me, but it certainly helped me to clarify my thinking and thought processes.

For example, the other morning, sitting at the breakfast table, my spouse and I had a conversation about the transgender movement and who is doing what and what is being said by whom, according to our reading, listening, and watching. I was able to articulate, perhaps for the first time, in our conversation that this is all noise to me. It is noise that appears to be meant to distract me from something. What specifically that something is I do not know. However, when someone tries to tell me that a man can call himself a woman and compete against women despite still having a viable penis, testicles and who still produces testosterone at levels that a man produces testosterone is a woman, I must wonder. In fact, if this person has not had a change in sex before puberty they would still be at an advantage, in the case of a male transitioning to female, because their musculature and bone structures would have developed as a male. Sure, they could take drugs to reduce the amount of testosterone in their systems at that time, but they still would have the foundational advantage of a male in a competitive female sports competition. So much for Title IX and woman’s rights and another example of how the left will turn on their own when it no longer suits their goals.

As one can see, just in this small diatribe of mine, I have already wasted my readers and my time reading and writing a paragraph on a subject that should not even be an issue. Outside of the rare instance in which a person is born with hermaphrodite like sex organs this whole transgender movement is a ruse. A woman is born with female reproductive organs, a male is born with male reproductive organs, and each has their own sets and ratios of hormones being created within their bodies. Sure, some will have different ratios that place them outside the norm of their sex (i.e., some women may produce more testosterone relative to estrogen than the average female and likewise some men may produce less testosterone relative to estrogen than the average male) but that does not change the fact that they are the sex that they are born with for the vast majority of people. This is a non-issue that is being made into an issue and for what reason?

So, back to the conversation and the distractions being peddled by the propaganda media complex and government, I come back to the fundamental question of, “why?” Why are these distractions being peddled and I consider the question of sex identity to be one of many distractions. What I see in the immediate future is the release of the Supreme Court decision regarding Roe v. Wade and a seeming bipartisan agreement regarding gun control which I think is a bunch of hooey considering current laws are not being enforced but, for now, I will leave that as a subject for another conversation. What I see is midterm elections and the chess board being set. As far as I am concerned right now the news cycle, if you want to call it news since it really should be called the propaganda cycle, is gearing up for the midterms because there is a ton of money to be made in advertising and pushing the agendas of the corporate globalist leftist elites.

Refining my line of questioning I ask myself, “OK, why are these stories being pushed at this time knowing the midterm elections are just around the corner and only mere months away?” Further questions arise in my mind when framing the question this way such as, why has there been an uptick in “mass shootings” in the last couple of months that are now causing Congress to come up with “bipartisan” gun control legislation? Why has a George Soros backed company bought several Spanish language media outlets in the past week? Why is the uproar already building over the Supreme Court’s release of its Roe V Wade challenge? Summing all these questions I would say the common denominator is there seems to be an uptick in chaos that is purposely being stoked and I must, again, ask myself, “why?”

My thoughts are starting to coalesce around the idea of chaos and the loss of an objective application of the law. The sex identity movement is yet another movement designed to confuse language and with the confusion of language it makes it easier for the autocrats (bullies) in this world to subjectively lash out with impunity against all who do not agree with they say. It does matter if what is being said refutes logically what the bullies are saying it only matters that you agree with what the bullies are saying and this is totalitarian in nature. With the gun laws being proposed does anyone really believe they will help stop these seemingly random acts of violence? No, it only will give more power to thugs and bullies who care not what the law says. Besides with the trust in the institutions of the country already flagging the application of law will become even more subjective and whoever has the biggest club, so to speak, will be the final arbiter of law.

In addition, reading alternative non legacy news sources, I have learned that the Saudis, Russians, Indians and Chinese have been talking about trading Saudi oil using non US Dollars as the medium of exchange. This coupled with the fact that the Europeans are still purchasing Russian oil and natural gas with Rubles using cutouts it is obvious that the days of the US Dollar being the world’s Reserve Currency are numbered. Paraphrasing what I have learned from Mr. Dalio in his book, “The Changing World Order” once a Reserve Currency becomes a fiat currency history has shown it is the beginning of the end for that currency. It has now been fifty years since the US Dollar became a truly fiat currency, thanks to a Republican President and Democrat Congress, and quite frankly it appears that the gas tank supporting the US Dollar as the worlds reserve currency is running out of Saudi oil which is what has supported the dollar thanks to Breton Woods. Couple this with the reluctance of the ruling elites in the US to “face the music”, for instance, not allowing a true free market clean out of the economy after the 2008 financial crisis, the economy has hobbled along with a deadly government backed cancer being artificially kept alive and being allowed to metastasize. It has been kept alive only to benefit corrupt government politicians, corrupt businessmen with government connections and especially a corrupt and bloated banking industry. I know with the stripping of reserve currency status for the US Dollar the US economy is in for very difficult times and historically these difficult times include civil unrest against the current ruling powers in a country. Lastly, unlike most Americans who believe or accept the drivel being peddled by the corrupt government media propagandists, I have no illusions that the Russians, Indians, Saudis and Chinese are not buying what is being sold.

The conclusion that I have come up with is that chaos is being sowed so that the Constitutional Rights of Americans can be taken away from the general citizenry. From my perspective a rapid increase in the iterative cycle of the autocratic seizing of citizens’ rights began with the passing of the Patriot Act, then the autocratic use of executive authority of emergency powers in the name of the COVID scam, and now, gun control in the name of “out of control gun violence”. What I am suspecting is this grab for autocratic dictatorial power by the globalist elites in the United States is because, like it or not, the US Dollar is losing its reserve currency status.  Therefore, there is economic hardship and quite frankly sever economic hardship looming on the horizon and the powered elites in the US beholden to the International Socialist Globalist movement know this. It seems that many events are being engineered to instill fear on the one hand so that the other hand can pass laws that erode the fundamental rights guaranteed by the US Constitution. One of the fundamental arguments for the creation of the Second Amendment was that periodically the rank and file citizenry must rise and throw out any rulers who have become too enamored with and or addicted to the power of their offices. I think the powered elites, inside and outside of government, are afraid of this potential scenario looming on the horizon. They are afraid that when the rank and file of the United States citizenry wake up as their standards of living erode much faster than they have over the past twenty years there will be great social unrest.

God bless America and God bless the world.

Random Musings on Current Events 6.10.22

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. Additionally, I know, and it has been proven that Twitter and Facebook would censor what I have to say so I will say what I feel the need to say in this medium. However, with Elon Musk purchasing Twitter perhaps I will have to take Twitter out of my introduction but not just yet. Time will tell I suppose and for that reason I will not remove Twitter just yet from my Random Musings On Current Events introductory paragraph.

Why is an attempt on the life of a Supreme Court Justice not being decried from every corner of the land? Why is it that none of the liberal media outlets made this their top headline? Who really are the violent ones in our society? Congressional Democrats block bill to provide Supreme Court Justices additional security yet at the same time want to limit my ability to protect myself? Does anyone else see a pattern here? A pattern of subjective application of logic and law. A subjective application in which chaos, is being fomented and allowed to flourish.

I cannot believe that I am paying more than $5.50 (now it is $5.70 since I wrote the initial draft four days ago) per gallon for low grade gasoline and now I am also having to increase my food budget more than $200/month! This is happening while the Congressional January 6th committee hearings are happening. Hey Congress and media! Do you think I give a rip about this committee and its televised broadcast with commercials? No, I will be too busy working extra hours to make ends meet thanks to you! Besides it really is just a bone being thrown to the media by Congress to boost some ratings. Nothing substantial will come out of the Kabuki Theater show being put on because there is nothing to it. If something does come out of it it will just be further proof of how corrupt the ruling elites, Democrats and RINO Republicans, truly are.

Another item closer to home is my local newspaper/media outlet that happens to be a Gannet owned rag and an article on their website yesterday. The headline mentioned that Democrats are turning out more early voters that the GOP in the county that I live in. I read the article and there is much speculation and reasoning as to why this is the case but I will not go into detail. However, call me cynical, I cannot help but think what a bunch of bull or how meaningless all the debate can be. My state’s Legislature used COVID to pass an initial mail in ballot law and then made it permanent in the most recent Democratic majority legislature. I cannot help but wonder if we will ever see a Republican win in this state again considering that we are neighbors of the one party Peoples Republic of California and the power hungry elite that controls the Golden State. This on top of the rumors that Speaker Pelosi and her minion, Governor Gavin Newsom, have funneled large quantities of campaign money to the Democratic coffers of my state’s Governor and other Democratic candidates.

What I would have considered, at one time, my two favorite basketball teams are playing for the Nike Basketball Association’s (NBA’s) championship, and I will not watch a game. The NBA’s self-congratulatory statement of feigned pious self-appreciation explaining how the NBA has lost hundreds of millions of dollars due to being shut out of the Chinese market after the former Houston Rocket General Manager Daryl Morey’s “Fight for freedom, stand for Hong Kong” Tweet does not elicit one tear from me. Mr. Silver, you and your advertisers do not deserve my attention let along my financial support. I have been to Hong Kong and what was once a free, healthy and vibrant city is no more. There are more important things in life than a sport created by Naismith to keep his students occupied during the cold Massachusetts winters. You may want to explain that to your boss, Mr. Knight, as well explain that my Constitutional Freedoms far outweigh any entertainment product that you offer. I only wish that Mr. Morey had stood his ground and not apologized. After all, despite his groveling, he still lost his job.

President Biden said, “enough is enough” regarding gun violence in this country. I agree Mr. President, when will you support the right for all law abiding citizens to carry firearms whenever and wherever they choose? Because, as I saw in Uvalde, Texas, I cannot rely on law enforcement to protect me and my family. Mr. President, give me a break! 

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vetoing a bill earmarking $35 million for a Tampa Bay Rays facility days after the team went on an anti-gun tirade. I think this is awesome!

The US Department of Justice announce they will not prosecute Scavino and Meadows but Navarro is arrested on the same day this is announced. I must agree that there is a witch hunt underway, and people will continue to be arrested until finally a charge sticks somehow and somewhere to someone. Talk about the rotten politicization of what should be an objective law enforcement organization. Can anyone say GESTAPO, STASI, KGB, or FSB?

I watched “Top Gun Maverick” the other day and have to say that I enjoyed it. It was a fun movie to watch, and it even elicited some emotion, like movies did in my youth. This without the overtly political garbage being pushed by Hollywood these days. Sure, there was some changes from the original such as female fighter pilots which certainly different than the US Navy that I joined shortly after the first Top Gun was released. However, this is the new reality, and it is my understanding that some of the female pilots are good. I think the Vice Admiral Beau “Cyclone” Simpson played by Jon Hamm is actually an accurate representation of most flag officers in the US Navy today. That of being risk adverse and valuing their careers more than mission. Of course, there were the stretches, for example stealing an F-14, pulling 10 g’s as a 50+ year old, and location realism, however, I really did not care. It was an entertaining movie that I did not mind paying to see in a theater. Additionally, judging by the reports, I am not alone as revenue records are being broken by the movie.

Early results are coming in for the first round of primary elections and it does look like left wing cities may have pushed too far to the left. This is most evidenced by the recall of San Francisco’s District Attorney. Maybe there is a ray of sanity left in the world and in this nation’s once vibrant and healthy cities, but I am not going to hold my breath. San Francisco keeps reelecting Nancy Pelosi, so they have a long way to go to recapture its lost brilliance.

I went to a high school graduation ceremony for a niece and a nephew and it was held in one of the local auditoriums in the city nearest me. It was full of people with no regard for social distancing or vaccination status. Albeit there were still a few people wearing masks, but they were doing so of their own volition. For my wife, daughter, and myself, however, there was a cloud over the ceremony because our youngest daughter, who graduated two years ago from high school, did not get to have this experience thanks to the COVID scam. She and countless others missed out on their graduation ceremony’s along with however many others missed out on events thanks to the mass hysteria created, generated, and foisted upon us by our so called leaders in politics, the press, and bureaucratic institutions. Let me say that I am happy for those who get to have ceremonies this year, but it is a bittersweet moment for myself, my family, and others like us whose children did not get to have this experience.

In closing this week I have only one thing to say, “God bless America and to all who are in this country both patriots and enemies equally.”
