Golden Age or Dark Age?

Two days ago, I was reading a story and in the story two of the characters were having a conversation. The two characters are older characters who have seen a lot and have been around a lot and one of the characters is speaking of today. There are two sentences spoken by one of the characters that somehow rang true to me. It rang true to me because in those two sentences it seemed to sum up my observations and opinions of one industry in particular. The two sentences read, “This should be a golden age ushered in on the wings of science and technology. Instead, it is the opposite. The start of a new dark age, using those same tools to spread ignorance and fear.”

It seems like just a little bit of time ago, in reality thirty years ago, I was living in the San Francisco Bay Area working and taking an introduction to computer science class. I was fascinated with the new technology and had to learn what it was all about so that I could move forward in my life with some fundamental knowledge of how the technology worked. It was being touted that this “new technology that would increase productivity and save time for all of us”. In the class, I learned about inputs, outputs, memory, and the computer processing unit (CPU). Within a couple of years I was using an IBM 286 to manipulate data and do word processing. Within another couple of years I was learning how to write code and at the same time explore this new medium called the internet in which I could instantly in my house or in a computer lab communicate and or share ideas and information with others. It seemed to me to be the dawn of a golden age in which information would flow much more freely and quickly than it had up to that time.

It was interesting to note that I remember speaking with the first person that I bought a computer from in 1993. This gentleman essentially bought the computer components and assembled the complete machine for his customers. In a conversation he talked about being in Berkeley California in the 1980’s running in computer geek crowds and meeting Bill Gates. The gentleman that I bought the assembled computer remembered Bill Gates as the geek of geeks and yet he always had a crowd of people around him. By the time I was told this story in 1992 Microsoft was well on its way to the dominance that it developed and currently maintains.

Regardless, I was riding high on the power of the personal computer and the internet as I was able to research, perform calculations, and find spare parts and machinery that otherwise could not be found much easier than it had been before. I think one of the biggest boons for me was the word processing capability because I have never liked typing considering all of the mistakes I make when writing. It was awesome! Suddenly, friends of mine who lived in the San Francisco Bay Area were encouraging me to move back there as they were taking jobs at startups with huge stock options with promises of personal fortunes. Needless to say I was starting to become uncomfortable with how non-technical people were starting to become experts in high tech. Again, secretaries were becoming millionaires. I chose not to move and thank goodness I did not because when the dot com bubble burst some of these same friends lost their jobs and their stock options became worthless. For me personally the euphoric bubble was beginning to burst.

The survivors of this bloodletting only became bigger and stronger and little did I know some of these of the strongest and biggest companies were receiving protections from the US Government. Evidently, as they became bigger they also started using their new found wealth to begin lobbying and out right supporting political candidates. It is little wonder as I sit here now and reminisce that I was becoming disillusioned with the industry instinctively. All the while they became larger and larger. It did not help that new program versions and hardware “versions” were being pushed every year or two and I just could not bring myself to keep up when I had machines that were running perfectly good. I could sense that the technologists had been replaced by greedoligists as the user interfaces became more and more glitzy despite the user functionality remaining essentially the same and in fact decreasing in many cases as the software became more and more proprietary locking me out of certain capabilities.

The last programming language that I learned was C++ and I realized that programming was advancing at rate far faster than I cared to match and so I kind of turned my focus on other items periodically upgrading my computers to newer, faster, and more complex machines. Although I will admit that one of the most frustrating trends at the time was all the extra programs provided on these new machines that were difficult to remove. Quite honestly I never really felt comfortable that I had removed all the superfluous programs and as a consequence that the machine ran as fast as it could but I never really paid too much attention or devoted too much time to “clean” all the garbage programs out of my machines. It began to feel that the machine really was not truly my machine but that I was somehow paying for a machine that someone else could control and manipulate.

This became even more noticeable over the years when due to the increase in interconnectivity updates began being pushed out to my machines, licenses to run certain software packages required one to be online, and security due to hacking and other malicious code became so sophisticated and pervasive that to even visit and use some sites I had to keep my computer security up to date. Thus requiring my machine to be nearly always connected to the internet. My machine became even less my machine but rather like something I am leasing with someone always watching my every move and I have to pay for it. Oh and yes, if you think you are not being watched when you are online I have known this for quite some time and really it is not too difficult to tell that someone is watching you.

Now here we are today and we have FANG (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google) who have essentially become the most powerful companies in the world. Some of whom enjoy the privilege of Section 230 protection and have actually benefitted from the COVID “pandemic” as people have been brow beat into being fearful of going out and meeting people in person. Like Amazon’s destruction of small and even large brick and mortar businesses now they enjoy the benefit of having governments actually destroy their competition while they become larger and larger and more and more powerful. Ever so much more powerful that using technologies perfected with their partners in Communist China they apparently have even been able to turn tools of mass censorship on the country that spawned them. So much for the euphoria that I once associated with the internet; the medium that could provide for free flow and dissemination of information and that could provide so much more freedom to the world.

Make no mistake of my opinion but that I have no doubt that several if not all of these companies have colluded at some level with the Communist Chinese Party (CCP). It is my opinion that if a company has done business in China they have had to make deals as the CCP is the most powerful authoritarian regime on the face of the earth currently. In order to do business in CCP controlled China these companies had to develop censorship algorithms. Now it appears the FANG have colluded with the Democratic Party and have conspired to cheat America out of a free and fair elections. I just wonder where the lines between the CCP and FANG exist because from my point of view the lines are very very blurry.

Additionally, I know look back on the history of recent elections in California and even the state that I live in and have to wonder how long this apparent digital vote cheating has been going on? Additionally, in all the other states that are using computerized voting systems? It is my opinion that the union between the big tech giants, the Democratic Party, elements of the Republican Party, the mainstream media and now apparently the CCP is an unholy alliance and an out and out criminal alliance. Freedom is euphoric but what we have now is oppression that is rapidly leading to a disintegration of social cohesion in the United States that is not going to end up good for many many tens if not more tens of millions of people. One that if not stopped now may be too late to be stopped if it indeed it is not already too late. Will the next four years bring us more fear and ignorance or will they bring us more jobs, freedoms, and be more akin to a golden age?

Random Musings 12.11.20

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 am reading the breaking news about the Covid vaccine and question why many are hell bent on purchasing and distributing the Pfizer vaccine. Something bothers me about putting something in my body that must be super cooled and could potentially affect the RNA of my body. Another thing that bothers me is the rumors that the US Military has already purchased large doses of this vaccine for distribution to our troops. Again I call on the leaders of this country to please do not allow our military to be used as guinea pigs for the vaccine. Right now the only vaccine I am remotely comfortable with is the Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine which uses similar technology to previous vaccines and additionally it does not need to be super cooled when stored.

Another thing is to all of these government officials who say they will take the vaccine in public to set an example. Pardon my cynicism but I know how easy it would be to fill a syringe up with a saline solution and play it off as a dose of the vaccine. I personally would prefer to catch the virus right now and treat it like President Trump and Rudolph Giuliani and countless others have and survived.

Chinese honey traps?!? Hmm, some things never change in the espionage game. The good representative from California should immediately be stripped of his security clearance and seat on the House Intelligence Committee pending the outcome of whatever investigation that may be underway if there is one underway.

I am smiling at the actions of Texas and the other 18 states who have enjoined the lawsuit and are challenging the states who have apparently committed fraud against the elections. I am frowning at the states who have filed amicus briefs in support of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Georgia. Of course the states supporting the four states are Democrat Party controlled states such as California, Nevada, and others. I know, big surprise there. I am patiently awaiting what the Supreme Court has to say about this as, to me, this is one of the biggest cases in my lifetime. Even bigger than Florida in 2000 and I certainly hope the Supreme Court takes it up despite the perils fraught with whatever decision they make. Of course, personally, I hope the Supreme Court rules against judicial activism and executive overreach and goes with a conservative originalist interpretation of The Constitution.

Please, whoever is responsible for the security of the Supreme Court Justices and their families security, do your job. I would not put it past radicals on either side but especially the left to find a way to threaten them. Now, if one of them has been dumb enough to compromise themselves then let it come to light so they can be impeached and removed from office because they do not deserve to sit on the bench.

I watched news reports of the city of Los Angeles’ new District Attorney stating that he will not enforce select laws, eliminate cash bail and a host of other actions. Isn’t this just another example, similar to judicial activism, of an elected official overstepping their authority? One man who has been elected using money from an enemy of the state (George Soros) and probably money from Nancy Pelosi considering the new AG is from San Francisco to one position is legislating. To me this is unconstitutional and borderline if not outright criminal. Once again Pelosi ways are being exported to another city to feed off of and destroy. Baltimore to San Francisco to Los Angeles and let us hope not the United States.

I am listening to people who are afraid of threatened violence by the left should the election be legally overturned by the Supreme Court and a legal count is ordered which overturns the election. I personally do not believe we should be concerned as I am fully confident that true patriots have been keeping quiet, preparing and most importantly keeping their powder dry. It may not be pretty but it may be necessary to ensure the survival of our constitutional republic.

I am sitting down to type after a couple of days of not feeling well. Never fear I did not have COVID or at least I do not think I had COVID as I felt better in two days and only had a slight fever, sore throat, and tight chest. Who knows maybe I did have COVID and just handled it? Well safe to say I am not going to go get tested because I feel better and who knows I may have just had a common cold! I know shocking and inconceivable isn’t it?!?

I am reading about the cabinet selections that Joe Bidden is making in his illegitimate claim to be the “President Elect”. After what to me has been an energizing last four years despite the nonstop back biting and outright attempts to oust President Trump I look at Joe Biden’s picks and suddenly feel de-energized. It feels as if a bunch of vampires are lining up to reestablish and or establish (i.e. big tech) their positions at the blood fest. All the old and new names with the same old ideas and corrupt agendas are lining up at the trough to pierce their teeth into the life blood of America after a four year long unexpected period of fasting. Though I will argue there have been several who have managed to hang on despite President Trump’s efforts to clear them out of government. After all, four years is such a short amount of time to do so considering the leaches have had a century or more to establish their colonies in the swamp, our educational system, bureaucratic institutions, politically connected businesses, and other “social” institutions.

I am in no hurry to learn the results of a fair election in which only legal votes are counted. It is now or never because I see no other way out of the morass of corruption amidst the coordinated attack on our Constitutional Republic being perpetrated by enemies foreign and domestic. I should say I see no other peaceful way as if the socialists are allowed to gain power illegally as it will entrench their hold on the levers of power. Levers of power that they will use by whatever means necessary to maintain their hold on power. Again, I know of no other socialist regime that has peacefully relinquished power once they have obtained power.  

I just recently learned that Paul Ryan, an obvious globalist never Trumper, was put on the board of Fox News. To some this is old news but new news to me and suddenly many pieces fell into place in my understanding of the tilt Fox News has recently taken. Of course, I only watch a few shows on the network at most and now I am now questioning why I pay extra to be able to watch it. Again, I am questioning why I pay money to companies who despise me and my freedoms?

Memo to Paul Ryan; President Trump has earned the right to be a leader in his own right by creating a successful business and winning one election despite being an outside and obviously would be winning the current election if it were not for the increasingly apparent meddling and fraud perpetrated on a grand scale. You are nothing more than a government hack who has made your wealth off the backs of taxpayers. The only reason you have your job at Fox News is your political connections built up over the decades as a public servant on the taxpayer’s dole. I have the same amount of respect for you that you have for me which apparently is zero.

Lord Mark Malloch-Brown is going to become President of George Soros’ Open Society Foundation?!?! Wow, though this is legal is there any doubt now that George Soros is not behind the apparent mass election fraud in the last election. Lord Mark Malloch-Brown!?!? The same Lord Mark Malloch-Brown who is currently the chairman of the Smartmatic voting system’s parent company, Dominion Systems?

This morning I was working out and half watching and half listening to Pearson Sharp on One America News. In the segment he stood in front of chalkboard with numbers and state names written on the board and at the top of the board underlined were the words, “Election Breakdown”. I began listening to his presentation and within minutes I had stopped working out and was staring at the numbers on the chalkboard as he made his way through the presentation. On the right sight of the board he presented numbers from Nevada in the most recent Presidential election first with a breakdown. In the state of Nevada Biden “won” by 33,000 votes. However, according to Mr. Sharp there were 1,500 votes cast by dead people, 2,500 votes cast by voters who changed addresses, 6,000 votes cast from addresses that are vacant, 8,000 votes cast from nonexistent addresses, 15,000 votes cast from commercial addresses, 20,000 votes cast from out of state addresses, and 42,000 double votes cast for a total of 95,000. In case anyone is wondering, apparently, all these votes are considered fraudulent votes which means there were 95,000 fraudulent votes counted.

So, the next question I ask is how many of these 95,000 fraudulent votes went for Joe Biden? Call me cynical but I have a feeling the vast majority of these fraudulent votes when for Joe Biden. Mr. Pearson then went on to show Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Michigan and Georgia numbers comparing the number of fraudulent votes to Joe Biden’s “margin of victory”. In each state the number of fraudulent votes far exceeds the margins of victory. Even more stench effluviates from the mainstream media, big tech, entrenched politicians, and bureaucrats on both sides of the aisle in their choice to ignore these numbers in their race to embrace Joe Biden.

What bothers me most about all of this is that I am just supposed to shut up and push the I believe button by the press, big tech, and the elites. They all say, “Let’s all just accept that Joe Biden won so we can move on, fix the problems and all get along”. I say bull pucky! I have been hearing that mantra my whole life as politically connected and correct people use the government to squash competition to their benefit while active as if they are morally superior while my quality of life has been under constant attack. It will never be fixed in a Joe Biden administration and in fact it will only get worse. Just look at what Big Tech has accomplished in California which is now a one party state. Bleh, I see you and you are not beautiful despite all your plastic surgery, pontifications, and supposed moral authority. You are deceitful, conniving, power hungry, hard to look at, hard to listen to and generally repulsive.

Let me finish this missive be offering my gratitude the veterans, the memory of deceased veterans and the generation who fought and lived to see the United States and allies to victory in World War II on this Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.

A Portland Drive By

I see, this morning, that Ted Wheeler has won his reelection as the mayor of Portland. This after allowing riots and the destruction of businesses in Portland all summer. So, I think it is time to write about Portland because after this election cycle my view of the country and this leftist movement is solidifying and the use of Communism/Marxism/Progressivism to destroy the middle class is on full display in the city of Portland.

Why Portland you may ask? Well for starters the Portland area is the home of Nike and my readers ask why I bring attention to Nike? Nike is somewhere around a $15-20 billion dollar international behemoth who it has been shown has factories in none other than China. The next piece of evidence that I would like to point out is, since the Michael Jordan era, Nike has become the prime sponsor of the National Basketball Association (NBA) along with numerous other sporting events, franchises, leagues and etc. Looking at the balance sheets Nike revenue far surpasses that of the NBA so much so that one really could call the NBA the Nike Basketball Association. The NBA who organizationally and certainly had some of its most popular players embrace Black Live Matter an overtly and openly Marxist organization.

So back to Portland, the re-election of its mayor, the home town of Antifa, the site of continued leftist rioting despite the re-election of its leftist mayor, and the home of Nike with its deep ties to Communist China. Is there a pattern developing here? I wonder? I know there is no criminality on the surface and being a Constitutionalist everyone is innocent until proven guilty in our system of justice. However, this is not the case in China and we must, as members of our democracy, remain ever vigilant for all enemies both foreign and domestic. To me, in the city of Portland, the coincidences are adding up and I am beginning to wonder if these really are not coincidental.

No Man’s Land

I sit this morning with all media turned off to be with my thoughts, impressions, and prayers as I try and make sense of the election day and the four years leading up to yesterday and today. It is quiet but it is not a peaceful quiet. I am recollecting and pondering what I consider to be our nation’s first virtual election its implications today and potentially going forward. The nearest example to this eerie silence is the eerie silence that I have experienced before battle commences in military field exercises and the silence one experiences just before going outside the wire in a hostile combat zone. A sort of no man’s land in which anything could happen. The silence that one hopes they have all their kit in order and that their training will be sufficient for any contingency and that help will be close enough should contact be made. However, one difference today that I sense is I am not sure where or if there will be any help.

Let me state up front that I call this our nation’s first virtual election because as I recall the events of the last several years I am waking up even more to the corrupting influence Silicon Valley is having on our nations media, political class, and business in general. I will also state up front that it is not just Silicon Valley that is the corrupting influence but rather the dark unholy marriage between Silicon Valley’s vast financial resources with the corrupt political, media and business classes in our country.

In the last several weeks an expanded vision of corruption and the extent to which the vile nefarious wraith like influence of Silicon Valley’s influence has dawned in my consciousness. The vision of Jack Dorsey’s hollow sunken distracted eyes set in his hollow cheeked scraggly bearded face has haunted me since watching him get grilled by Senator Cruz. The brazen disrespect as exemplified by what I consider to be statements bordering on perjury regarding Twitter’s policies regarding posts and accounts that they ban and the reasons they do so just rang hallow to me. It took nearly another week for Twitter to remove their ban on the New York Post’s reporting of the Hunter Bidden laptop. It appears to me that Jack Dorsey considers himself to be above the law.

The next idea or realization that occurred to me is looking geographically where the most left leaning politicians in the country reside and represent relative to Silicon Valley. Obviously, we have Nancy Pelosi from San Francisco, Kamala Harris from Oakland, California. Two cities within a half hour drive of Silicon Valley when traffic is not too congested. Then radiate outward from here my mind goes to Hollywood a mere one hour flight from Silicon Valley which is represented by none other than Adam Schiff. And to the north we go to Portland another hour’s flight from Silicon Valley and finally up to Seattle maybe another half hour flight beyond Portland. Spreading east over time we have seen Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, and other states gradually leaning and going more left with passing time.  This year we have witnessed vast and huge sums of money being poured into political races throughout the country to include the South Carolina and Iowa Senate races. Where did this money come from?

I witnessed the Dot Com bubble and bust in the 1990’s and in fact participated peripherally in many of the conversations and actually embraced the advent of the internet and personal computing. I used an Intel based 286 computer to type up some of the first work packages, letters, and data base manipulations for my work and loved the flexibility and power that if provided at the tip of my fingertips. Using the Intel based 386 computer I explored the internet for the first time setting up an email account and communicating with my local universities servers I thought I was the mater of my own universe.

I remember visiting friends in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1990’s and the energy and euphoria of the boom were palpable as one could almost taste the excitement and buzz surrounding the amount of wealth being created and generated. My friend’s wife started to work for a startup company and part of her compensation package was options on the company’s stock as promises were made, co-workers were investing their money in tech stocks expecting to retire at the age of thirty, and on and on and on. I remember noting the apparent, even then, ruthless competition to acquire talent as campuses were being created to keep employees satisfied and the vast sums of money being thrown at engineers to entice them to work for these companies. All the while property values and the cost of living in the San Francisco Bay Area continued to up and up and up.

Of course, this all came crashing down wiping out many life savings in the process and bankrupting countless internet and tech startups as it probably should. It is the way of business and only the strongest survived. To survive the slaughterhouse of the late nineties I will also submit that not only were some of these companies the strongest but some of them were the most ruthless. For instance, Amazon emerged taking out whole industries starting with brick and mortar book sellers. I will admit that Amazon is much more efficient at moving product than the traditional book seller but I am one who enjoyed the physical act of going to a store that smelled of new books, where one could browse many genres of books, and where one could sit down and manually flip through pages scanning and deciding if this was the right purchase for me. It was not a virtual experience illuminated by photons emanating from a computer screen. The survivors of this onslaught came out stronger, with increased market share, and began accumulating wealth beyond imagination.

What does one do when they have accumulated so much wealth that they do not know what to do with it? Personally, I do not know as I have not experienced this in this lifetime. But I have observed people like Bill and Melinda Gates building an expansive mansion near Seattle and starting a Foundation. I have seen Jeff Bezos continue to expand his reach into media, food, back to setting up brick and mortar store fronts, and seemingly reach to become the wealthiest man in the world. Google has quietly acquired countless companies while becoming a verb along with the most visited search engine on the internet. Facebook, to me is a time suck and quite honestly is drug like. I have spent some time on Facebook and have been shocked at how quickly the time has gone by engaging in conversations, reading posts, and making posts. Mark Zuckerberg has been quiet with where he spends his money at least from my point of view Twitter, on the other hand, sort of came out of nowhere in my world as I was already becoming disillusioned with the internet and all things Silicon Valley when they broke on the scene. And after seeing Jack Dorsey’s wraithlike drug fueled eyes I am glad I have not given Twitter much of my time or energy.

Where do they spend their money? Though I do not direct proof as I do not have the resources to thoroughly investigate my suspicions it has dawned on me that there is a pattern developing and patterns that I am suspicious of. First off, there is a rise in left wing Democratic politicians on the national stage who are from California. Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, and Adam Schiff come to mind. Second, California is now a one party state and this has happened since the rise of Silicon Valley wealth. Nevada, Oregon, Washington are just about one party states and this shift has all happened since the wealth of Silicon Valley has been accumulated. The largest beneficiaries of the COVID 19 crisis has been Silicon Valley and their monopoly on virtual communications platforms and shopping. How many hundreds of millions of dollars of money were poured into Democratic Party candidate’s coffers? To me there is only one industry that can support the type of funding across the country and in the manner that the money was spent and the industry is tech and the media outlets it supports and is in collusion with. Have we, as a country, entered the land of Mordor in which the ever present eye of Sauron could fall upon us at any time and deploy his wraiths to do his bidding?

I know see the lines more clearly now and it frightens me. I am frightened and awestruck at the lengths these people will apparently go to maintain their power and influence. I now have to question the legitimacy of some conspiratorial theories that COVID 19 was a creation of an alliance between international leftists in the United States and the Chinese Communist Party to ensure President Trump is not reelected as possibly being correct. It seems while the majority of the people are in isolation a great power grab is being undertaken by leftist elites who are more than willing to censor, further isolate, black mail, and threaten violence in order to lead our country into a leftist collective hell hole ruled by an ever shrinking minority. If President Trump loses this election it will be a close loss and I have to wonder had there not been COCID 19 in which the Joe Biden campaign literally was able to get massive virtual support through television commercials, Silicon Valley censorship and suppression, media suppression of relevant news while in person meetings were limited if not outright banned by Democrat Governors in the battleground state would President Trump have won by a landslide? Would President Trump have clearly won once Democratic strongholds with ease? Again, with COVID 19 restrictions in place this election became a virtual election that played into the hands of Silicon Valley and their surrogates at the expense of freedom.

Random Musings 8.26.20

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 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.

Random Musings 7.8.20

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.

Dr. Scott Gotlieb lecturing us about how schools should not be opened? I am sure he is one of those who believe the economy should not open until an immunization has been developed and approved. I find it interesting that he sits on the board of Pfizer. I wonder if he was an intern under Dr. Fauci at some time?

Portland based Nike is a tool of the Chinese Communist Party! I also wonder if there is any coincidence how left the government of Portland has drifted and continues to drift. A city that highways can be shut down in the name of a Marxist movement and the fact Nike is based there. Evidently, the only commerce that Nike cares about is their own and does not give a rip about truckers, mom and pop businesses, nor the small businesses affected by the Marxist riots.

Does anyone else find it troubling that there are reports of institutionalized anti-Semitism in the Black Lives Marxist Movement? Although, why should anyone be surprised considering that the Bolshevik Revolution and other Marxist movements do not tolerate anything but 100% submission to their so called mores and values.

I was happy to see that Secretary Pompeo is calling out Tik Tok for the Chinese Virus (the Chinese Virus part of the that statement is my own name not the Secretary’s) that it truly is. I truly support and home that President Trump shuts Tik Tok and any other CCP Controlled app out there down.

I wish I could remember where I heard this idea from because they deserve credit for a great idea. Specifically, they suggested that for any politician who calls for a reduction in the police that at the same time we demand their security detail be reduced. I am going to try and remember this as I listed to my local politicians.

Random Musings 7.3.20

Once again 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 am angry and have not been able to even type about this matter the past couple of days. The reason I am angry is there will be Black Lives Matter marches in two of the cities near me on the Fourth of July but there will be no traditional Fourth of July celebrations because of the Chinese Communist Party Flu. Are you telling me that the Marxist Socialist Internationalist have already defeated this country? My goodness this is getting crazy. Which leads me to my next rant.

I cannot tell you how many solicitations for money I have gotten from the Republican Party and or conservative political action committees in the recent weeks. Many of them come under the guise of a poll or what not. Of course, and let this be a message to the people sending out these solicitations. There is not as much money around to just send to groups who have done nothing for me recently. I would like to see some leadership from the Republican’s in the Senate, but they have been largely silent in the face of the hysteria in the country. How come they are not calling out the Black Lives Movement for the Marxists that they are? How come they are not supporting the Black Americans whose businesses have been destroyed by the mobs? How come they are allowing their corporate sponsors who have been bullied by the Marxists to bully themselves into quiet acquiescence of the Marxist aims? President Trump tried to be a leader but was immediately undercut and subverted, at least publicly and from what I have seen in the press, by the Washington swamp (i.e. the military and neocons). Again, I ask myself why should I send money to a bunch who will do nothing for me? News flash! Your silence and acquiescence to the left signals to me that you are in compliance with the left’s aims.

Liz Cheney rabble rousing about the so called Russian paying bounties to Afghans to kill Americans: Representative Cheney has not your family and its inner circle made enough money and amassed enough power on foreign wars to feed multiple generations of the Cheney’s already? Why do you need more when we in the middle class are under constant attack and shrinking? Oh, never mind, that is a rhetorical question. You really do not give a rip about me and so I really do not give a rip about you. In fact, anything you say or do I hold in contempt and or suspect.

Random Musings 7.1.20

Once again 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.

So, Russia put a bounty out on American service members in Afghanistan? Why am I yawning at yet another Russia conspiracy theory from the mainstream media? Tell me something new you purveyors of timed or ill-timed propaganda, as the case may be. A couple of days later and it seems that this is all based on unsubstantiated facts. Oh! Shocking! What a surprise! If you detect sarcasm dripping from my words well then you are smarter than whoever dreamt those reports up.

Is anyone else growing tired of being led around by a bunch of bureaucratic medical doctors? Dr. Fauci is yet another example of a lifelong bureaucrat who is relishing in the spotlight and his power. However, I also believe that there is anecdotal evidence that he is a stooge of big pharma. I say this because of his reluctance to use or support any alternative treatments to combat the Chinese Flu. I also say this because he is insistent to point of irritation that we will not be able to return to normal until a vaccine is created, tested and approved by the proper government approval agencies or ministries or whatever they are called and that it is going to take a long long time to do so. In fact, it will be after the election and isn’t that so convenient. Ok, the last sentence was a bit of sarcasm and I heard Dana Carvey’s Church Lady character in my mind saying the sentence as I typed it.

For those who care my new mantra is that I will not support nor take a knee for Black Lives Matter because they are a Marxist organization. When are others going to start standing up to these leftist revolutionaries?
