Random Musings on Current Events 7.25.2025

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.

Oh my goodness the House of Representatives has adjourned for their summer break early. I have not taken the time to investigate what the purported reason is that Speaker Johnson pushed for this early break. I wonder if he used the excuse that the House has worked hard to get the BBB passed and that they deserved the break or for whatever other reason that was given. What I really have to wonder is it because the Epstein scandal is not going away? The reason that I am questioning this is Speaker Johnson made a point to say that there would be no vote on the Jeffrey Epstein documents before the recess. A recess which, by the way, will be many weeks if not a couple of months. Geez, I wonder what other events will spring up around the world in the meantime to distract the populace in an effort to help them forget about the Epstein scandal?

Continuing along with the Epstein scandal/fiasco or whatever else one wants to call it I must say that I do not believe that Donald Trump participated in the pedophilia for a New York second. Did Jeffrey Epstein and DJT’s paths cross, absolutely and it is well documented that their paths cross. Quite honestly, how could their paths not have crossed considering that they were both doing business in New York City at the same time? So, to me, this really is not a point worth spending any time on. What bothers me is the timing and the way it is being handled. Timing that the memo was released immediately after the BBB was passed, Congress being recessed early, and suddenly, perhaps because of the unanticipated blow back, a top tier DOJ official is interviewing Ms. Maxwell. Something is not right and it makes me wonder just how many in Congress are compromised, what sort of back room deals did DJT have to make, and who was running and is protecting Ms. Maxwell? Remember, there can be no compromise when it comes to our children. They are the most precious resource that a family, community, state and country has.

Speaking of distractions and, quite honestly, it is good to see that DNI Gabbard is setting the record straight on the Obama administration’s heads of Intelligence. Quite honestly, however, this is nothing new to me as it was painfully obvious to anyone with half a brain that something like this happened. Especially to those who, thank goodness, were in the Intelligence business and had the courage and where with all to share their observations with those of us who have never been privy to the sorts of machinations that could and often do go on within these organizations. However, do I believe anyone will be held accountable for this at the higher levels? No, I do not. My guess is that some mid to lower level employee will be charged, in the best possible scenario, while a bunch of money will be spent on special councils, Congressional investigations and the media will have a frenzy to feed off of while this all goes down while the hope of official Washington is the Epstein travesty of child rape and trafficking will fade away into the background with really no one of import being held accountable in either case. In other words, it will just be business as usual in D.C.

Will someone find something to charge Adam Schiff with treason, conspiracy, or whatever else he is guilty of? He is no peddling that DJT was involved with Jeffrey Epstein. Excuse me Senator when you were investigating DJT and the Russian collusion b.s. you claimed knowledge of all the intelligence. If you did then you must have known about what the Obama administration did to suppress the real intelligence and redirect it to subvert the first DJT administration. Does that not make you an accessory to the treasonous acts committed? Perhaps you should pay more attention to the gross ineptitude and corruption in California, the state you represent, but then again you were elected Senator in this corruption so I suppose that makes you part of it.

Speaking of California, I am not going to get into specifics but as the weeks click by since the Palisades and Alta Dena Fires, we are learning of how few building permits have been issued while there is a push for “affordable housing” to be built in the fire affected zones. Let me see, Maui, Hawaii, Democrat controlled, California, Democrat controlled. It truly does appear that there is a land grab underway as powerful interests aligned with the Democrats are jockeying to step in and use the land whose current owners can either no longer afford to wait out the local and state officials in these jurisdictions. It looks more a more like a travesty and abuse of power.

Another item that I did not write about and that certainly caught my attention was that the Roman Catholic Bishop of the diocese of San Bernardino issued a decree a couple of weeks ago that members would not be required to attend Sunday Mass or any other holy days of obligation. This is because there is a “genuine fear” of immigration raids and deportations. Here we go, just another battle in the centuries old war between English and Spain that reaches back to Elizabethan times. The more objective application of English law versus the more subjective application of Spanish Law. The war battle between each county’s offspring, the United States of America and The United States of Mexico. I will take the bishop’s actions as an indicator of who his biggest donors or benefactor(s) are or is. They are either businesses in the United States who rely on the illegal immigrant labor, smuggling cartels and or a combination of both. They certainly are not American who value the rule of law and the Constitution of the United States of America.

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.

Random Musings on Current Events 7.18.25

The news cycle is such a strange beast and it appears, this week, that it is either on vacation or the purveyors of news are not quite sure which direction to take it. Quite honestly, I am observing this with a bit of mirth in my eye.

I am happy to see that President Trump is back tracking a bit on his treatment of the Jeffrey Epstein files and I am happy because he is doing a lot of good but this one item could overshadow all of the good things his administration is doing. Jeffrey Epstein, Sean Combs and others like them and those who support them are a scourge that needs to be cleaned up and dealt with appropriately. As I said last week a family, a community, an institution, and or a country will not survive that condones, turns a blind eye, or even implicitly sanctions the abuse of their children for whatever reason. It is wrong and those who would engage in this behavior need to be rooted out. If this means the family, community, institution or country will never be the same after this rooting out then so be it. Because, in all honesty, if the relations within a family, community, institution or country that are built on this evil is it really the type of family, community, institution or country we want to be a part of? I, for one say, know and I am more than willing to endure the hardships and consequences of rooting out this evil. Putting disinfectant on a wound usually hurts but it certainly helps the wound heal faster and better in the long run.

One last comment on the above paragraph is that I have little to no faith in a Special Council. How many of these wastes of time and money have come and gone in my lifetime that have done nothing but deflect and water down the rage of public opinion. They drag on for months if not years and ultimately no one is held accountable. By the time a report is published most of the public has forgotten about the reason for the special council and it all just fades away while business as usual continues on during the investigations and after the investigations. The only real winners are the media and of course the real perpetrators of the crimes the special councils have been convened to investigate. Just release everything on Epstein, Combs and others and ensure the releases are not redacted.

I read a fascinating article on Breitbart about Rep. Maria Salazar suggesting that President Trump “owes God a favor and should repay the debt by signing her amnesty and migration bill.” I will admit that I did a double take reading the article primarily because of the use of God but also that the bill is being supported by “her allies in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.” The article further goes on to say that her vision is being supported increasingly by a “growing number of GOP-affiliated elites.” OK, it seems that the wealthier members of the party are becoming uncomfortable because their sources of cheap labor are starting to dry up. The number of illegal migrants coming up from the South has dried up and, in fact, there are some who are returning to their homes south of the US border. Get ready because now we are going to see who really is willing to see this through.

Quite honestly, I think it is disgusting that Republican elites and Congressional Hispanic Caucus would even consider this sort of language and using it to support amnesty, the more I think of it. They seem to be more concerned about profits and comfort than ensuring we live by the rule of law. These are the same people who will ensure an uneducated labor pool perpetually exists so they do not have to do any manual labor or, heaven forbid, their profit margins decline. Is there anyone else smelling the stench of hypocrisy emanating from this group of “elites”?

I had an experience the other day in which I had to call my credit card company to change something. As usual the person I spoke to was from a foreign company and I will not go into detail because it is not relevant to this particular rant. What made me think was how are these call centers regulated to ensure my information is not exposed or sold for nefarious reasons? Do the laws of the United States govern these call centers or do the laws of the country in which these call centers reside govern? Food for thought.

The rescission bill has passed both chambers of commerce! This is quite the news and it appears that NPR and PBS will be experiencing a funding cut. I took a drive through some states recently and in several places the only broadcast radio that I could receive was not less than NPR. In fact, in some places I could get multiple NPR stations beaming of their translators. This is where there are no commercial radio stations. I have typed previously how I consider NPR to be national left wing radio and PBS to be national left wing television. I, for one, consider this good news because the government is determining winners and losers and the winner is leftist deep state radio. It is long overdue.

Random Musings on Epstein and Diddy 7.11.25

Let me start, on a somber note, that my prayers go out to the victims and families of those lost in the recent floods in Texas and New Mexico. In particular, I feel the pain of the parents who lost young daughters having lost a child of my own. There is nothing that can be said to describe the dismay, helplessness and pain that they are going through and will continue to experience. Again, my prayers go out to them.

Now I have to ask why was there weather modifications happening in the areas immediately up wind of the days before the deadly Texas storms? For that matter why is there any weather modification happening at all? Assuming a purely benign intent for the weather modifications could the modifications gotten out of control and this lead to the storms materializing in the manner that they did? Could there have been a more nefarious reason for the modifications?

Before any of my limited number of readers jump to conclusions thinking that I am a nut case for even mentioning weather modifications, I know that weather modification science is real. Growing up in the western United States I know this was being experimented with in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s to reduce the impact of drought and saw this first hand. It appears this experimentation has gone on unabated as evidenced in several places and the question becomes has it been weaponized? You may call me cynical but there has never been a technology that I am aware of, in the course of human history that has not been weaponized. Now the question becomes is the government, deep state, ruling elites or whatever you want to call them weaponizing the weather against their own populations for whatever nefarious purposes they feel the need to do so? It certainly would not be the first time nor would I suspect it will be the last time that the powerful have sacrificed their own to maintain their power.

Now as I reflect on and ponder the recent acquittal of Sean Combs and the announcement from Pam Bondi that there is no Jeffrey Epstein client list to be released. I am pondering and reflecting as I recall the hoopla, build up, and noise surrounding both of these men. The trouble is that all of the accusations in public leveled against these men are well within the realm of possibility and reason. Additionally, I know it is well within the realm of possibility that these men were nothing but fronts for powerful organizations in order to gather compromising material against powerful people. This is all fine and well but, in the process, lives have been wrecked and, most importantly, it appears children have been used to accomplishing these ends, which is absolutely and unequivocally disgusting, wrong and must not be tolerated. The ends do not justify the means for any reason up to and including national defense. How can a nation be considered a beacon of hope and light of freedom if this sort of behavior is tolerated? It cannot be the short and only answer.

Just the fact that this has become a public discussion warrants a greater and deeper investigation and discussion surrounding these men and others who would engage in this sort of behavior, cover up this behavior, distract our attention from this behavior and or merely turn a blind eye to this sort of behavior. I do not care one whit that the current President of the United States wants to move on from this discussion. This sort of behavior or even merely the thought of engaging in this sort of behavior cannot be tolerated and must be eliminated from the halls of power in the United States and the world at large, let alone within the hearts of the men and women who would engage in this behavior. It is reprehensible and a sure path to destruction for a person, society, nation and world to allow the desecration of innocence solely for the accumulation of temporal power. In fact, it is evil in one of its most base forms and it must be called that for which it is, pure evil.

Now, do I believe the current administration will deepen their investigation into this matter is a point for deeper discussion. As it looks right now it does not appear so despite the many outstanding things happening and being undertaken by the administration. However, all of these actions will be for naught if the rape and or killing of our young is allowed to continue and those responsible for the rape and killing of our young are not brought to justice. No family, community, state, or nation can survive that allows the figurative, and by some accounts literal, eating of its young and innocent. The burial yard of history is rife with those who have sacrificed their young and innocent. All one has to do is look south of the border to the Aztec nation that no longer exists or the German Nazi’s, Communist Russia, or the former European noble class for just a small sampling. This despite an argument that could easily be made that the current group of child rapists and sacrifice organizers are but mere descendants of these nation’s ruling elites.

In summary I am deeply disturbed and concerned that the behavior of Jeffrey Epstein, Sean Combs and others around these men will be forgotten by the news cycle. A news cycle that rightfully so is focused on the tragedies in Texas, New Mexico, Gaza, or wherever the news cycle takes it. Yes, these are all tragedies and real people and children have died but this begs the question, were these tragedies created to take the focus off of the other tragedies perpetrated against other children and innocents while the perpetrators remain free and out of the lime light in the nations halls of power? Were these merely the latest in a series of tragedies to keep me and others preoccupied with the latest crisis while the real purveyors of evil continue working behind the scenes unencumbered? I for one will not forget what has happened and that appears to continue as evidenced by no less than James Comey’s daughter being a prosecutor in both the Combs and Epstein cases. I can forget this no more than I can forget the evil that was levied against my child who no longer is among the living.

Independence Day Random Musings 7.3.25

I am sitting down to ramble a day early this week considering tomorrow, Friday, is the United States’ Independence Day and I will be spending it with my family. The last thing I will be wanting to do is sit in front of computer typing and piecing together what are usually a jumbled amalgamation of thoughts based upon what has managed to reach my consciousness from the media and other sources.

I will say that tomorrow I will sit down and read The Declaration of Independence and I would recommend everyone read the document and reread it periodically. It truly is a wonderful well written document that lays out who, what, when, why and how of the reasoning behind the declaration. It truly is a statement of fact that one could wish would be followed in relation to some of the purported crisis that are used to drum up contention in our society. Of course, if there was well reasoned logic then we would probably find that many of the supposed crisis and points of contention would be nothing but fallacies and the real crisis and contentions underlying many of the issues would be exposed. Regardless, I am going to say Happy 249^th Birthday America and my there be many more and move on.

Congress is trying to make a push to pass the Big Beautiful Bill and I commend them for that. In fact, it hit a road block just this morning and I hope Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune keep Congress in session until it is passed. I really do not feel one bit of angst that the poor politicians, their staffs and lobbyists who are no doubt working behind the scenes have to work over the holiday. I personally remember a July 4^th that I was in Afghanistan and though we did not adhere to our normal work day and took time to honor Independence Day our weapons were still within arm’s reach and there were still several on watch as there are and will be, no doubt, those on watch today, tomorrow, and every day protecting those that they are tasked to protect. To them I will send prayers and, truth be told, I will also send prayers to Washington as well. To those in Congress all I can say is, “Get the job done.”

It seems that there are more allegation against Tim Walz and his supposed service in the Minnesota National Guard. Now in addition to those leveled against him and his stolen valor now it appears that after a visit of his to China the CCP mysteriously was able to build a tank similar to those in the US Army’s arsenal that the rapidly becoming ignominious Governor had access to during his tenure in the National Guard. This really is not good and though I am giving Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice some grace, for now, I certainly hope there is an investigation into Tim Walz. I say this because on the face of it there is certainly something fishy going on. However, my grace to AG Bondi is rapidly waning and even more so now that Sean Combs has been acquitted of most charges after being prosecuted by Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey. She also prosecuted the case of Ghislaine Maxwell who was acquitted of most charges as well. It appears the fix was in, for the most part, and Pam Bondi allowed her to prosecute another high profile sex trafficking and abuse case.

I have heard reports that there is a recently released report from the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense in which a scenario for Biodefense included a bio terror attack on July 4, 2025. The scenario included the release of genetically engineered Nipah virus that killed “at least 280,000” Americans in a single day and many around the world. Geez, this sounds eerily familiar to the exercise that was conducted in the months prior to the COVID virus. I, along with others, have to wonder if the deep state has something up their sleeves for tomorrow or in the next several weeks? I will be keeping my eyes and ears open because I do not intend to be hoodwinked like I was the last time.

Uh oh, the US is pausing weapons to Ukraine citing and alarming depletion of the US arsenal. So, the US has provided material support for a regime half a world away and now the US arsenal is depleted? Wait a minute, what? Of course, in reality, this is not too much of a surprise to me only now there is public admission of the fact. So, the US has transferred wealth to a corrupt government and now the US is going to have to spend a bunch of money to rebuild its arsenal. Geez, I wish I was a defense contractor because I can only imagine the hot dogs will go down their gullets much easier this weekend considering all the salivating that they are doing in anticipation of the money about to come their way.

Lastly, I understand how difficult it is to get the Big Beautiful Bill passed with all the pork, special interests, and desire of career politicians to be reelected but I have to bring up one item that I would hope would be available to me and others of my generation but that I have to wonder if it will be there when I get to retirement age despite funding it our entire adult lives. This is Social Security and the fact that funding it beyond 2033 has been kicked down the road yet again. Each time the Social Security can gets kicked it just gets worse and it will not go away. Like in the game of kick the can, the hiders will eventually get tired of the game and eventually the can will win. I have to ask Congress, “What about Social Security?” It seems we have had money to support Ukraine, Israel, a host of other countries and pet projects of the members of Congress’ pet projects in members home districts and states but what about me and others of my generation? This certainly is something to ponder, no doubt.

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.

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.

Random Musings on Current Events 6.6.2025

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.

Random Musings on Current Events 5.30.25

Once again it has been two weeks since I last posted any rumblings, ramblings, and rants, however, if you are one of the few who read my writings you knew that it would be two weeks and so here, I go.

I read an interesting article in which the US Social Security system could still actually be saved, however, it would require some hard decisions and the sooner the better that these decisions be made the less painful the decision would be. This considering the system has a looming insolvency issue in about seven years. Do I believe the politicians in Washington D.C. will make any of the hard decisions required to save Social Security for me and my generation of Gen Xers? No, I do not believe they will because the politicians are far too short sighted and only seem to be worried about their next elections to continue their abilities to live off of the system.

South African refugees seems to have become a hot topic in the last couple of weeks in the main stream. Well it is about time as I have been aware of gun battles etc. happening in South Africa as the government and others have been trying to force the white Afrikaners off of their lands. First, was apartheid, right? I will answer absolutely no. However, does two wrongs make a right? Another time I will answer no. It seems the South African government is taking out both sides when they claim not to be part of a genocide while at the same time they are allowing for the repatriation of white owned farms. Something is up down there and I do not think the memory of Nelson Mandela and the Springboks are going to hold the South African society together this time. There is trouble brewing and I have to wonder if there might be foreign agent or two or however many financing and stirring up the radicals in that nation?

Elias Rodriquez has been charged with the murder of the two Israelis in Washington D.C. last week. A man with ties to Party for Socialism and Liberation and who knows what other organizations is accused of murdering two Israelis in cold blood. One has to wonder what or who was really behind this man. Regardless, my thoughts and prayers go out to the two victims and their families.

There have been many other things that I have worked on, explored, and dealt with the past two weeks but they are too personal to mention on line. Until next time, happy rumblings and ramblings.

Random Musings on Current Events 5.16.2025

It has been two weeks since I have posted any of my rumblings, rambling, rants, and musings because, quite honestly, I have been too busy and deep into projects. Projects that have demanded my full focus, including the not paying attention of too many so called current events being pushed in the media. Not only that I have barely had time to listen to my favorite podcasts for the same reason. I will say also that I do not normally comment on the podcasts that I listen to because they are much more focused, in depth, and certainly too cutting edge to merely ramble about. I will also not be posting next week because I will be finishing up a project started last fall that will require my full attention.

It appears Jake Tapper and his crowd are ready to throw Senator Fetterman under the bus because of his “cognitive decline” or whatever they are calling it this week. This, despite what I understand, has been Senator Fetterman’s very good recovery from his stroke during the weeks leading up to his election. Of course Jake Tapper’s recently written book about Joe Biden’s decline is the works of a self-serving former sycophant of Joe Biden who claims not to have known about the former president’s mental state when it was obvious to even the most casual observer. Personally, and I have to agree with the gentleman’s post that I read alerting me to this, I think Senator Fetterman’s cognitive decline as detailed by the legacy MSM media is that Senator Fetterman is a free thinking man who comes to his own conclusions and is guilty of not keeping to the left wing ideological Democrat party line.

I now have had two people tell me about former FBI Director James Comey’s text, tweet, or whatever it was, posting of the code 86-47 which in this case could mean murder. You have got to be kidding me that a former head of what is advertised as the nation’s preeminent law enforcement agency did not know what this meant? I do understand that to be 86’ed can also mean banned from entering a premise so there is some wiggle room. However, in my mind, if he did not know then it explains the utter incompetence of the FBI and how politicized it has become at the expense of true law enforcement or it publicly shows the level or arrogance James Comey has for me and the rest of the average everyday American. Perhaps, it just provides evidence of both. Regardless, I certainly hope the Secret Service is investigating this and that any violation of law is referred to the Depart of Justice. Also, if referred that now civilian Mr. Comey is treated no differently than any other American who faces the charges. I am tired of the two tiered justice system and, if guilty, no one should be treated differently than anyone else, especially if they once held a high position in the District of Columbia.

I am not even going to comment on President Trump’s trip to the UAE other than to say I am going to need to take some time to catch up. As I said I have been busy and it seems that, as is typical with President Trump, there was a lot going on that was made public. Who knows what was happening behind the scenes?

I have to admit that I have been uncomfortable with Senator Lee in the past, especially with his support of big tech and their locating of major data centers to Utah. However, I have been quite impressed with the Senator’s support of the Trump agenda, in general. I get that no one is going to agree with me on every issue but what I respect is someone who stands for something and, though the verdict is still out on Senator Lee in my mind, he certainly is gaining points along with Senator Fetterman.

Best of luck to interim US Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

Is anyone else watching professional sports? I for one am not watching any professional baseball this year along with any of the Nike Basketball Association playoffs. I have to admit that I am not missing any of it. I am not missing any of the never ending commercials punctuated by some competition. I certainly do not miss a competition between millionaires who are being protected and who push the brands that they represent.

Random Musings on Current Events 5.2.2025

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.
