Random Musings on Current Events 11.3.24

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.

I am a couple of days late posting my ramblings, rants, rumbles, and revelations this week. I suppose it is because I really have not been paying too much attention as I have been mourning the loss of my child three years ago who I call a victim of COVID. Not to the disease itself but a victim of the gross overreaction to what essentially was the flu. The overreaction of society and the poisoning of countless millions of people with an unapproved injection which ultimately led to the demise of my child.

Enough of my personal life, for now, and on to the rumblings.

In my introspective moments this past week I was just reminded of the election industry that has formed around, you guessed it, elections. As I continue to receive snail mail flyers, election robo calls, emails, and the worst of them election texts I cannot wonder at how much money is changing hands. The candidates and the machines that support them are constantly on the prowl for donations that in turn are used to fund all these mailings, emails, robocalls, and robo texts. All this capital being spent on useless services that could be spent on improving infrastructure and or being invested in businesses that provide service to a greater swath of society. Instead all of the capital is gathered from the productive businesses and people to be spent by politicians whose sole purpose, for most of them, is to get elected by spending the money on media and advertisements. I just have to ask myself what value does any of this provide me?

If the reader or two of my ramblings is wondering who I am voting for President it obviously is not for the Marxist/Communist liar that is running for President. I watched a collage or sorts on one of the purported MSM news channels detailing how many “changes” in her position she has taken in over the last few years. These included but are not limited to her stance on the border wall, and the second amendment. What strikes me is how brazenly crass she and her handlers are with regard to these issues. I say this because I do not believe for one second that she will not immediately revert back to her previous stances on these issues and that she is just saying these things to get elected.

Speaking of the MSM I have to wonder how much money they are making hyping their preferred candidates all in the name of generating viewership in order to sell advertising and keep themselves afloat? The polls show the candidates are virtually tied and as a person with a little bit of knowledge of statistics I am aware of how easily polls and statistics can be manipulated to serve one’s agenda. For the big media companies their agenda is about making money and in order to do that they need access to politicians and it seems will do anything to gin up viewership, clicks etc. It is like a spectator sport on the national and international scale. The media craves and is in fact addicted to the politicians feeding their spectators. In fact I have heard that each presidential candidate is approaching a billion dollars in campaign spending. How am I to believe or trust anything that comes out of their organizations?

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.

Wow, the Harris campaign must be feeling a bit nervous to allow Kamala to be interviewed by Bret Baier and asking Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to come out of retirement. Evidently, the basement campaign strategy is failing. Did anyone else but me notice that Kamala Harris appeared to be wearing the same earrings in her Fox interview that she wore during her debate with Donald Trump?

I still do not know anything different about Kamala Harris after the interview other than she and her handlers have some sort of fetish about Donald Trump. I cannot believe how many times she blamed Donald Trump for the country and world’s woes. I do not need to spend any more time on this as it has become so obvious that even Fox News jumped on this point. I will say one thing, however, and that is I have to agree with the questions wondering where VP Harris has been the last three and a half years?

Kamala finally admitted that she will be different than Joe Biden. Yes Kamala, I do believe that you will be different than Joe Biden. Your administration will be more Marxist and will work to further centralize power in Washington D.C. You claim that you are for small business but it is just smoke being attempted to be blown up my backside. Small business is completely anathema to Marxist ideology that seeks to consolidate power into government elites. Small businesses will be some of the first to be taken down by your handlers.

Secondly, Barack Obama coming out to speak makes some sense considering he is a dyed in the wool true believer of Marxist anti-American ideals and norms. I do not agree with a word that he says and as far as I am concerned, he should never be allowed near any levers of power again, however, he is a believer and I have to respect that. However, it seems that his stump for Kamala is backfiring. I suppose his time on ‘da Vineyard has softened him a little and he is more out of touch. Besides his community organizing organization has taken some hits in the last four years not the least of which Black Lives Matter was exposed for the grift that his “community organizing (sic Marxist)” movement truly is.

Bill Clinton on the other hand is nothing but a dressed up cheap petty criminal who unfortunately amassed way too much power and wealth to become much more than a cheap petty criminal. We should be calling him the predator in chief. Just ask Juanita Broaddrick and all the others who have been abused or murdered around the Clintons. Whoa, maybe not, he is a creation of the CIA after all and we would not want anyone to run afoul of that foul organization.

Another item that bothers me about Kamala Harris is that she has never had a child and suddenly wants to be in charge of a nation. To me one of the highest callings in life is to bring new life into the world and raise them to be productive citizens of one’s community with all of the challenges, tribulations, and sometimes tragedy associated with this endeavor. I will say having children has caused me to reflect on myself many times and has no doubt wizened and matured me in ways that I would have never expected. Kamala Harris has no perspective in this manner and how can I trust her to make decisions with regards to the potential sacrifices that she may have to ask my fellow Americans of their children in the military and elsewhere?

On to another subject I read the DOJ is suing the state of Virginia for cleaning its voter rolls and from what I have heard and read the state is doing it legally and in an ad hoc manner. This at the same there are reports that forced labor of migrants has tripled in the last couple of years. The DOJ files frivolous suits and charges against Donald Trump but there is active multinational paramilitary organizations (i.e. drug cartels) operating inside the borders of the United States and the DOJ does nothing. Tell me the DOJ is not politicized or corrupt and I will call you blind, a gas lighting shill or maybe even a sympathizer.

Good timing on the part of the FBI to revise 2023 violent crime rates as compared to 2022’s violent crime rates. Instead of there being a decrease of 2.1% the real numbers reflect an increase of 4.5%. I have to thank Fox News for picking this change up because the Harris campaign and other Democratic Party surrogates have made plenty of hay on the former more favorable numbers. Yet another example of how much the deep state despises and is fearful of Donald Trump.

I watched the breaking news of Yahya Sinwar’s death and took pause. First, a man died and I prayed for his soul because from what I know of him it is needed. Second, I have to wonder what is next? I listened to Michael Orn a former Israeli Ambassador to the US connect Hamas and Hezbollah to Iran and then Iran to Russia in an almost casual manner and I got uncomfortable. It is almost as if Israel has been pushing, goading, and enticing the US to go to war against Iran for a long time. Sure, the mullahs in Iran a not good people but the whole of Iran which a war will drag down? Something is amiss here and I personally have no stomach for any more war’s half a world away from me that really do not directly affect me.

Something that does directly affect me is the war in my own country that is being waged by foreign military para military units and their sympathizers operating independently against underfunded, improperly trained, and out of their league law enforcement in the united states of America. It is becoming clear to me that the only way to root out the foreign criminal cartels and their influence in the united states of America is through direct military action. There is precedence for this action going back to the raising of an Army under “Black Jack” Pershing and under the Eisenhower Administration after World War 2. There is a foreign invasion happening right now in our country and the trouble is the politicians and powers to be have either been too corrupted or are too afraid to admit it. This while US troops and billions of dollars are sent to the Middle East and more billions of dollars are sent to Ukraine? What? You have got to be kidding me. Where are the adults in charge of the United States?

I suppose what further solidified my perceptions leading to my writing the previous paragraph is I read that the Gulf Cartel silenced the Mexican press’ reporting of the death of Perex “El Gume” Maya’s death in Matamoros recently. In an example of how organized this cartel is they have a middle man who essentially tells the Mexican press what they can and cannot report on with regards to the cartel. This man is essentially the cartels Minister of Information. These cartels are sophisticated, flush with money, ambitious, and rival the Mexican state in terms of power and influence and need to be treated as such.

I read somewhere that the San Diego State University women’s volleyball team has a transgender player on it and several teams in their conference are refusing to play against them. The latest being the University of Nevada’s women’s volleyball team. First, I am proud of the players who are refusing to play San Diego State’s team and who would rather take a loss than bow down to the leftist anti life ideology. Secondly, I glad to see that, in the case of the University of Nevada, administration coming out with statements saying they will not punish the players. However, the administrations statement are riddled with attorney speak and it does not go far enough. There is no ambiguity in this matter. If a person has an XY chromosome pair they should not be allowed to compete in a XX chromosome pair league or sport. End of story, no further debate needed. This all is just another distraction to keep our minds off of the corruption and ineptitude of the real problems in the United States. One example of which I described in the preceding paragraph.

I almost forgot to mention that evidently there has been a Marburg virus outbreak in Rwanda. I have been waiting for something like to happen and here it is. Right on time, less than three weeks before the election. What a surprise.

Random Musings on Current Events 8.9.2024: Olympics, Government, and California

I am trying to decide what is worth rambling about this week but as I am sure anyone who has lost a child can relate to this week has been one of those weeks. A week of waking up and not liking where I am or liking how I feel. Sure I could get a drink or find some other way to numb the feeling but I am choosing not to. I can still function, mostly, and so I am choosing to not escape but rather learn how to still engage the world with the pain.

One of the items I could ramble about are the Olympics and all that is transpiring around this even. However, I am not really paying attention because it is difficult to listen to the announcers and the advertising. I watched it one night and I did not feel good the next day. It almost felt as if there is some sort of signal being put out through the sound on NBC’s transmission that is not healthy. I could be imagining things but it was enough for me to know that I do not want to watch any more.

Then there is the world and everything that is simmering below the surface. It seems the media is in a sort of semi hiatus because of the Olympics. Not too much is being brought out or too much hay is being made by the MSM because of the Olympics.

Speaking of not too much hay being made, it has become even more clear in the last week that there were multiple shooters during the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Of course we are not hearing any of this in the MSM but it is so obvious and so depressing how corrupt it appears the national security apparatus is in the United States. Now the leaders of the FBI, CIA, and USSS hare refusing to cooperate with the Congressional committee probing the assassination attempt. Just what if anything are they hiding? Sure, Congress has been known to grandstand for political purposes but needless to say Congress pays these Security organization’s bills. I would like to see Congress withhold the CIA’s, FBI’s, and USSS’s funding for all capital projects and freeze hiring right now. Pass an emergency bill today that would do this until there is some cooperation. Will Congress do this? No, I am sure the CIA and FBI have dirt on powerful Congressmen and are blackmailing them.

California’s continued mismanagement of their forests the past several decades continues with rural towns and the states downwind of California paying the price as wildfires continue to rage and spew their toxic venom. Who are the real powers behind the corrupt Newsom and Pelosi? These are the people that need to be held accountable.

Speaking of holding people accountable I heard an interview with Tulsi Gabbard this week in which she articulated very well the problem that we are facing with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. In particular, she mentions how Joe Biden has not had the capacity to make decisions for quite a while and so what it means is that someone or someone’s have been making decisions and that these people are not the ones elected by the American people. Therefore, they cannot be held accountable at the ballot box and Tulsi Gabbard is right. However, these people do not have Presidential immunity and so could they not be held accountable in other ways? Treason for one floats to the top of my head. They are running a confidence game on the American people outside of the Constitutional powers granted to the Executive and purposely subverting and ignoring the Constitution and laws. The 25^th Amendment is the first that comes to mind. But then again, I am just a dumb engineer with no social skills and who deals with the laws of nature and not the subjective laws of an elite.

Random Musings on Memorial Day 2024

I sit down to type for the first time in several weeks and it happens to be Memorial Day. I paused today after praying to remember those I personally knew who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country and the countless others that I did not know but who did the same for mine and my country men’s freedoms.

I have to admit that not too much from the media has been penetrating my world and reality the past several weeks due to my being extremely busy with family and business matters. Regardless I do remember a few and will comment on them.

Donald Trump’s trumped up trial has ended evidently or is in the process of ending. At least enough that he no longer has to sit in the court room. I cannot help but yawn and care a wit about the trial. Yes, it will be a crying shame if Donald Trump is found guilty and sentenced to jail time because it will further divide the country in a dangerous way. However, that appears to be what the powers behind the powers want. Personally I cannot get too worked up about it because I am too busy living to buy into the powers behind the power’s death cult.

Speaking of Memorial Day, yet another month has passed since the death of my child thirty days after taking the second dose of the initial two dose Pfizer COVID vaccine and not a peep from anyone in the MSM about increased death rates etc. nor a peep from the Donald Trump campaign about the farce of COVID. All I can say is that some powerful interests in the world did want Trump being reelected and it goes to show the depths of what they are willing to do to maintain their power. They are truly evil beings and I find it hard to call them human.

I had a conversation in the last couple of weeks with someone close to me who was worked up over something that they heard or read about in the media. I found myself starting to get worked up, as well, but was able to pull back my emotions and look at the matter from a more objective point of view. What dawned on me is that there is a faction or elite or whatever you want to call it in the United States and the world that purposely uses the media to foment angst in the main stream or general populace. Trouble is more people buy into and accept the general angst being purveyed than who do not. How else can one explain how compliant the world was when COVID broke?

Speaking of COVID and continuing my rant and rumblings I want to be clear with the few who read this blog that I too bought into the angst and fear being peddled in the early days of COVID. However, I rapidly became disillusioned with the whole narrative when alternative discussion regarding the supposed disease was suppressed and the world’s economy was shut down and fundamental civil rights were violated across the world to include in the United States of America, the supposed land of the free and home of the brave. Never again should we become the land of the oppressed and home of the fear obsessed.

To the purveyors of fear in the media and halls of government may God have mercy on you and may God’s justice prevail on you.

Another event that occurred this past several weeks was the Northern Lights aka Aurora Borealis being seen as far south as the Carolina’s. I personally did not get a chance to see them because I was busy in the middle of a personal event that kept me busy from sun up to sun down and needless to say I was exhausted by the end of the day. I did, however, hear of many who had interrupted sleeps etc. I will also say that what I thought was the sun those days did feel more intense. Perhaps it was the effects of the geomagnetic storms from the sun rather than the sun radiation itself that lent to the intense feeling?

Does anyone else wonder why the Communist News Network (CNN) is releasing its exclusive challenging the Pentagon’s narrative of the homicide bomber attack on August 26, 2021, at Kabul’s International Airport? I have written how it was a complete and utter failure of American US military leadership and my questioning of how come not a single senior officer, Secretary of Defense or President Biden have been held to account for this unnecessary tragedy. Now, we learn as matter of fact that the US military changed and left out a full accounting of events on that day. Personally I understand that US Marines may have fired into the crowd as Islamic terrorists were well known for their complex attacks in which a homicide bomber would blow himself up and then as a follow up other terrorists would shoot others in the confusion. So what, fog of war. I still see no one asking for an accounting from or for General McKenzie, his subordinate commanders, Secretary of Defense Austin or President Biden. I still have no faith or confidence, and even less so now, in any of these folk’s leadership.

The sham trial of Donald Trump continues on and, no, I am not following it day to day because I do not have time for this. I am too busy deleting and reporting as spam all of the spam texts and emails from political campaigns asking for my money.

The University of Southern California has canceled its main commencement ceremony due to “ongoing campus protest/unrest”. As if like clockwork The Summer of Love Redux seems to be heating up again exactly four years later. What a coincidence, a presidential election year in which Donald Trump is polling better than Joe Biden. I wonder why USC does not request assistance from local law enforcement to arrest those who are breaking the law like at the University of Texas, Austin did? Perhaps, the USC administrators are afraid it’s leftist faculty will protest much as UT Austin’s leftist faculty did, perhaps the USC administrators are leftists themselves, or maybe they just plain and simply have no backbone to support and defend the rule of law. Funny how USC is a private University as is Columbia, George Washington University, and NYU. Glad that I am not a parent paying tuition to any of these so called institutions of higher learning.

I certainly hope Merrick Garland is charged with contempt of Congress. Will it mean much? Who knows.

I logged onto Facebook for the first time in months yesterday and was inundated with adds featuring young scantily clad women, hopefully not girls, asking to be my friend, chat and blah blah blah with very few posts from my contacts. Evidently these are “AI” generated adds. What a ruthless, greedy, unscrupulous no good group of people at Facebook.

Speaking of election year shenanigans it seems that inflation actually increased based on reports released in the last week. It will be interesting to see what side of the political aisle, if any, the bankers are on in the coming weeks and months. Will the Federal Reserve change their targets to justify lowering interest rates, maintain current interest rates or increase rates which any sane person would do with no political skin in the game. One thing for certain the bankers have no interest in my lifestyle or for that matter whether I live or die. They are only concerned with maintaining their lifestyles and power on the backs of the majority of people.

I am finding it less and less interesting to follow the media from behind the lines in my purple state that is truly going blue more and more. Perhaps, I am feeling low because I know that it does not really matter considering the fix is pretty much in. However, I am grateful for those who have come into my life in the past several years who are showing me new ways to pray and be open to listening to my intuition. Perhaps I will become more inspired again to use my imaginations. Perhaps I will be inspired to let the blog of ramblings, rumblings, and rants go the wayside, especially if I discern that it is not what Christ would do or in alignment with his teachings. However, in the meantime…

It appears House Speaker Johnson is just another in a long line of bought and paid for members of the uni party. Pulling Democrats in to push spending in Ukraine and for Israel while infrastructure and people flood the United States’ southern border on the face appears asinine if not treasonous. His priorities a certainly not to defend my freedoms and pursuit of happiness but rather those of the nations and world WEF inspired elites. Although, I will admit that I am not surprised otherwise he would not been allowed to become the Speaker of the House. I have to wonder if his name is in or should be in the book about how the Chinese Communist Party has corrupted the nation’s elites? I also have to wonder if he will formally switch parties because he has already done so in practice.

I just learned that California, between the years of 2018 to 2022 has spent nearly $24 billion on their homeless problem which equates to approximately $34,284 per year per person for the estimated 140,000 homeless at the start of this period. A number that has, in actuality, grown to somewhere north of 180,000 at the end of 2022. What has California gotten to show for this expenditure? I would imagine that a lot of graft for the connected is where the majority of the money went. Money that comes on the backs of the citizens of the other 49 states in the form of COVID bailouts, infrastructure bills etc. thanks to Nancy Pelosi and her cronies. I would imagine that her cronies in the state have California and their cronies really received the benefit of these “homeless dollars”.

Speaking of graft in California how is the 500 mile high speed rail line between Los Angeles and that California that voters approved $10 billion in 2008 to be complete in 2020 doing? Oh yes, that’s right it has not happened. Instead, now they are proposing a $35 billion rail line between Bakersfield and Merced, a distance of 100 miles, to be completed by 2033. Ummm, what? So, in the last 16 years nothing has been done with the original $20 billion and now they want another $15 billion to complete a length of rail 1/5 the distance of the original. Not only that the rail would run between arguably two minor population centers in the middle of the state. This when there are roads in the outlying counties in urgent need of maintenance and repair. Something stinks and it is similar to the stench that started in Baltimore, Maryland.

Speaking of Baltimore, Maryland it appears there is a concerted effort to get the shipping lanes open in its port after the destruction of the Francis Scott Key bridge which is a good thing. However, one can only wonder how this is happening and quite frankly it is a part of the tearing apart or one can say completion of the demolition of the Francis Scott Key bridge. When it comes time to rebuild, I can only imagine the grafters that are circling this project like vultures.

Donald Trump is standing trial for, pardon the expression, what appears to be trumped up charges in which both campaigns are using an excuse to ask for additional donations etc. The only winners in all of this are the attorneys, the media, and the campaign industry.

It appears the Center for Disease Control (CDC) is telling everyone to treat COVID like the flu now and forget about all the happened in the past around COVID. OK, the forget all that happened in the name of COVID was never explicitly said but, to me, it is implied. I for one, will never forget what happened in the name of COVID. The least of which was the shutdown of an economy in an election year, the passing of midnight legislation in some states to allow mail in ballots during an election year, and death of a loved one, the cutting short of a career of mine because I chose early retirement rather than to allow an experimental injection to be introduced into my body, and the death of a close loved one within thirty days of their taking their second Pfizer COVID injection. No, I cannot forget the events of COVID and feeling like the victim of a confidence game was perpetrated on me and the country.

Random Musings on Current Events 12.8.2023

Does anyone else ever get the feeling of a disconnect between reality and what is being fed to us through the media, thanks to the spread of the internet and all the content that it delivers? This just being an extension of the corrupting influences brought about by the radio first and then television. We as human beings spend more time in front of our devices than we do cultivating one on one relationships with other human beings. The noise and constant bombardment of our senses with images and sounds from televisions, radios, and computers filling our minds up and distracting us from the real world. The sounds and sights of the devices designed to distract us from the uncomfortable reality of human existence in what is, at times, an unforgiving and bleak existence. These devices have become like a form Huxley’s Soma for the masses.

What disturbs me or rather what I finally was able to see this past week is that the media and big tech masters are creating new worlds in their digital realms that people are dependent upon for nearly all their survival. They shop online, find entertainment online, communicate with others online using email and video conferencing and a whole host of other activities. All activities that fill our minds but do nothing for our bodies. It almost seems as if it is an entrapment of our minds to ensure that our bodies follow suit. It is a way to imprison our bodies without having to build a prison.

Ex British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has testified before that county’s COVID commission. This after at least a week or more coverage of this Commission and all I could, yet again hear, was blah blah blah.

The current British Deputy Prime Minister, Oliver Dowden, discussing Russian hacking group ahead of the elections. What I find interesting is that he also lumped in five eye countries. Russia’s FSB Centre 18 also going by the names Star Blizzard and Frontier. A British official said, “We are coming towards an election year. We want to get this hack and leak threat more into the bloodstream – so people are more aware.” This and the mystery pneumonia attacking children and old people has spread from China to the U.S. Does anyone else see a narrative table of sorts being set for next year? It almost seems similar to 2019.

As if on cue and to add another piece of flatware to this so called narrative table being set for next year’s elections the religious war could be heating up with the Presidents of Harvard, MIT and Penn all under fire for not condemning genocide. I agree genocide should never be tolerated and I am pleased to see an uproar. My only question now is why are people just now seeing these people for the spineless morally corrupt vipers that they are? How many others in academia have no moral standing but are merely leftist puppets? Too many to fathom I would imagine at this point.

Speaker Johnson has within twenty four hours caved and added the FISA Section 702 back into the NDAA. Now I have to wonder if it was all just theater in the first place as his first refusal put him front and center on media as standing up to the deep state. Now that he has caved news of the cave are not front and center in the media. Oh, and this “cave in” comes after dealing with the notably anti human Chuck Schumer and the military is still going to fund abortion, transgender operations and more funding to Ukraine? This the same day that Secretary Austin, who has no credibility with me after his going along with allowing US Service members to be subjects in Big Pharma’s mRNA experiment, is threatening that troops will need to be sent to the Ukraine while our Southern Border is open? I hope this bill does not pass any floor votes because it should not. Time to pull out each individual item for a floor vote. So, what if it takes more time because we need to know where these supposed Senators and Representatives truly stand and they may have to do some work instead of working the D.C. cocktail fundraising circuits. It is disgusting to see the arrogance of these people.

I see that Italy has withdrawn from China’s Belt and Road and I think this is good news. Now I wonder what or if Italy will do anything about keeping its churches and cathedrals from being turned into mosques?

A shooting in Las Vegas in a gun free zone, with a pistol and the Dems, as if on cue, immediately call for an assault weapons ban. I commend the UNLV Police who responded immediately to put the shooter down, however.

Taylor Swift is Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. She is dating Travis Kelce, Big Pharma’s poster boy. The image manufacturing business is running full time propping these two up with backing from Big Pharma no doubt. All I do is yawn yet again because I really could give a rip about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, 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.

I watched the movie “The Legend of Bagger Vance” the other night and one of the main characters, played by Matt Damon, Captain Junah, is a man haunted by his past service in World War I in which many men who served under him were killed in action. Bagger Vance, played by Will Smith, is an angel sent to help steer Junah straight and help him get through his PTSD or Shell Shock or whatever they called it after WWI. There is one scene that sticks with me and that is when Bagger tells Junah to see the course. Essentially, he is telling him to see it with his heart. See his path and what he, Junah, needs to see to play his shot. Not anyone else’s shot but his shot.

Speaking of Bagger Vance and the fact the movie takes place in the United States’ south, I happened to listen to “Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynyrd and the lyrics are:

Mama told me when I was young

“Come sit beside me, my only son

And listen closely to what I say

And if you do this, it’ll help you some sunny day, ah yeah”

Oh, take your time, don’t live too fast

Troubles will come they will pass

You’ll find a woman, yeah, and you’ll find love

And don’t forget, son, there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can?

Forget you lust for the rich man’s gold

All that you need is in your soul

And you do this, oh, baby, if you try

All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied

…But, be a simple, be a simple man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

There is, to me, something about this song that sums up what I have been rolling around in my mind as I observe the ramblings, rumblings and rants of the world.

The Conservative Constitutionalist needs to slow down, pull in, and remember what is really important and it certainly is not what is happening half a world away in the Middle East, Ukraine, and in China. The Conservative Constitutionalist needs to play his game and not anyone else’s game. Sure, events there can impact what is happening to me eventually and probably will and, in fact have, but for now I have found myself, along with many others, getting worked up about these events for no reason. Every time I click a link, I am supporting some large media giant sell advertisement or every time I turn on a news broadcast, I am supporting yet another media giant and helping them to sell advertising.

I believe what I am trying to say is that I have, unintentionally been supporting the rich elitists and their lifestyles at the expense of my lifestyle and letting myself be swayed to live in their world, at their pace, and to ignore what is right in front of me. It is Thanksgiving week now and I was reminded this past weekend that this is really a time of Thanksgiving unique to the American experience. It is a time to reflect on this country’s native American heritage and its melding with the early English settlers and how the early Native American’s taught and saved the early English settlers from starvation and how to live in this new world. What I was reminded of is that I am an American first and foremost. I am not a European, an Asian, a Middle Easterner, or anyone else but an American, end of story. Also, that I need to focus on what is right in front of me and not what is happening half a world away.

I had the opportunity to spend some time in Southern New Mexico last week and it was a bit depressing. The town that I was staying in is depressed and there is no way around it. Two restaurants that I had eaten in the past were shut down for good, no doubt, victims of the COVID lock downs. The only jobs to be had were servicing the travelers along the interstate, a Dollar General and government jobs. Certainly, none of these jobs are jobs in which wealth is being created for this community. Instead, one of them, the government jobs, are nothing more than redistributing wealth by taking from wealth producers in order to support the recipients.

Oh yes, it was disgusting to see how they were able to clean up and keep the riff raff away in San Francisco for the visit of Xi, the Chinese dictator, while businesses flee the corrupt, decadent, third world bung hole of California. Yes, I said bung because I dare not write what I really want to call it. California politicians and remaining business leaders really are a clear and present danger to the stability of the United States. I will not even mention the sock puppet in chief of the United States who capitulated to the dictator. In fact, it appears they are in Xi’s employee which could be considered an act of treason if one were to pursue that line of thinking.

Senator Tuberville continues his hold out against the blanket confirmation of the President’s rubber stamp of military promotions in the General and Flag Officer ranks. However, some of his so called fellow Republican Senators are considering Senator Shumer’s with a resolution to the Senate Rules Committee to essentially do an end around Senator Tuberville’s insistence that he cannot approve some of the promotions because the promotions would violate the Hyde Amendment because of the proposed military promotions are for people who support abortion. Of course, the Republicans who are willing to vote for this rules change include Senators Graham, Romney, Ernst and a couple of others, so far, that I am not familiar with. Big surprise there and what surprises me is that Senator McConnell is not on the list at least publicly but I am sure he is privately. In the amount of time, they have spent waiting for this to play out I have wonder how many of these promotions they could have individually approved or rejected? That would have just taken too much work I suppose and furthermore would have required the Senatorial staffs and Senators to take public stands on this issue, specifically, and they cannot have that with elections looming on the horizon.

It really is too bad that the funding of the Vice President was not cut as proposed by several in the House of Representatives. She really is a failure at doing her job and really should be fired. Maybe she will donate some of her salary to Secretary Buttigieg. Not likely!

Stop the presses! The Screen Actors Guild strike looks like it is over! Oh, my goodness! Time for more fresh fecal matter to be put out by Hollywood. I would imagine there is some serious constipation ready for release.

The Associated Press has cut ties with Hassan Eslaiah the free-lance photographer who was embedded with Hamas during the October 7 attack on Israel. Of course, not before photographs that he took to include a selfie with Yahya Sinwar the Hamas mastermind of the attack. I wonder how many clicks and increased revenue the AP and other news outlets received publishing Eslaiah’s photographs?

Has anyone noticed how quiet and controlled the press releases from the Israeli side of the Gazan invasion are? The Israeli’s are true masters at controlling narratives and the press. So much so that there is still no mention of why Hamas was able to penetrate Israeli defenses on October 7. I am still not convinces that Israeli Intelligence, at some lever, did not know in advance the attacks were going to occur especially when freelance photographers etc. were embedded with Hamas. The best kept secrets are secrets never told and once told they are no longer secrets. Why was there an apparent stand down at the Gazan border that allowed this attack to be so successful? It just makes me wonder.

Houthis have purportedly shot down a US Drone in or around Yemen. Geez President Biden did you do that? Did your policies of delisting the Houthis and allowing Iran, who has declared the United States and enemy, embolden if not fund the Houthis?

Pro Palestinians have defaced Britain’s Cenotaph war memorial the same week as Armistice Day. When will the west wake up to the fact that Islam is not a peace loving religion? When will Christians and others realize that Islam that demands total subservience not only religiously but politically? Islam is a religion or movement that not only subscribes how to live life but how to govern peoples. It is an insidious movement that will do whatever it takes to infiltrate and overthrow existing governing structures and install its own according to the Quran if it cannot outright invade. Just read about what happened to Constantinople in its later years and how its decay led to inviting Muslim to do menial work for the corrupt, lazy, and incompetent elites of its crumbling empire. So many parallels it makes me wonder if there is any hope for the western liberal Christian based ideal.

Finally, I will take a pause this weekend and attend an annual Veteran’s Day parade in honor of all those who have served. It usually is a solitary event for me since none in my family or immediate circle of friends usually wants to attend and quite frankly it is OK with me since none of them are veterans and they really do not understand. They do not understand that it is not just a parade for me and that I really am not alone. I am not alone in my memories of all those over the decades that I served with who have come and gone in my life. Some I liked some I did not. Some liked me and some did not like me but we all took oaths and “did our time”. I am not sure of the motivations that led others to serve our country and my motivations changed over time, quite honestly. The one thing that we all did, however, was to serve our country whether we agreed to it or not in the case of many who were drafted in Vietnam through World War II, though the numbers of those who were drafted are diminishing. The one thing we all had to learn was to be part of a team at minimum a basic level just to make it through boot camp or whatever path to a commissioning that we took. To all the Veterans out there I want to say, “thank you for your service”.

I have committed to posting something to this blog at least one time per week and lately I have been slacking a bit doing this. So, therefore, I am typing despite not really having paid much attention to anything in the news this week. Regardless, here I go.

The United States has a new Speaker of the House and it appears that he is on the side of the Neocons in his support for Israel and going to war in the Middle East. God help humanity because the puppet masters pulling strings seem to want this war so that they can maintain their power in the world and in the process kill a whole bunch of people. These people do not support life but rather are purveyors of death.

Speaking of the new Speaker, I read that he is going to allow a border and immigration bill of sorts to pass through the House. Of course, it is already being written that the Republicans in the Senate, the ringleader being Sen. McConnell, will not allow it to pass as written. This because he and others are beholden to those who are making money off the out of control border immigration issue. Is there any wonder why even the RINO Republicans are against the border wall and controlling the border. They and those who they represent are making too much money and maintaining their power with an open border. All I can do is yawn when I read these stories. The media will make a big deal out of it and nothing substantive will change except that the politicians will tout their positions this upcoming election cycle. OK before I fall asleep, I need to move onto another topic.

Out west in the United States the mainstream media is touting an El Nino year and because of its blah blah blah. Personally, I think the winter will be a little warmer than last winter because the effects of the Hua Tonga Volcano eruption will not be as pronounced in the earth’s upper atmosphere as we are now deeper into the second year after the eruption. I believe much of the light reflecting particulate has settled back into the lower atmosphere, however, there is still some residual to reflect light. This will still impact weather patterns but not as severely. It will be interesting to see how this effects the weather patterns and only time will tell, not a media report quoting the so called experts.

I read today that JP Morgan, Citibank and others are taking huge losses to the tune of 10’s of billions of dollars due to their exposures to US Treasuries. Personally, I can hardly even comprehend the quantities being bandied about and want to use scientific notation to write these figures out to aid in the ease and simplicity of writing them. Nine zeroes after the figures and the banks get to just write them off as if nothing happened as people behind closed doors in the city of Washington, New York, and San Francisco argue among themselves trying to figure out how to maintain confidence in the system.

I must ask myself why do I even worry about paying my credit cards and debt? They certainly do not because it is not the money, they are concerned about but rather it is how to maintain their lifestyles at the expense of the vast majority of the people in the country. I still wonder what would happen if the country as a whole decided not to support their lavish lifestyles in New York City, The Hamptons, San Francisco, Marin County, Washington D.C. etc.? Would there be chaos? Sure, there would be but would it be worse for the men and women who have never had to do hard work in their lives or those who already know how to wash dishes, swing a hammer, turn a wrench, farm and or hunt for the food they eat?

Speaking of the food that we eat I went to the grocery store the other day and yet another item that had not had its price raised much in the last year suddenly had nearly a 25% increase in its price. The pundits, government officials and so called experts can talk all they want but inflation is real, it is here and it is much higher than the official CPI. All this so the elites can maintain and illusion of stability so they can maintain their lifestyles on the backs of most Americans.

Sure, it makes it less expensive to pay the debt but at what cost? The inflation eats away at savings in dollars and one must devote more of his time laboring to maintain their same lifestyle. What irritates me to no end is the beneficiaries of this inflation have no clue or care one wit what it does to those who labor to maintain the elite’s lifestyles. This can only go on for so long before the system can no longer maintain itself because the dollar is no longer tied to the real economy, the economy of labor for bread, shelter, and transportation. Of course, I would imagine the socially inept geeks who made their fortunes on computers will try and make robots to do this work because we all know they do not like nor want to be with or compete with real human beings. Human beings are too unpredictable, dirty, and free thinking to their tastes unlike computers that are cold, logical and controllable.
