Random Musings on Current Events 8.15.2025

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.

It seems that Presidents Trump and Putin are currently meeting in Alaska ostensibly for talks regarding Ukraine and the ongoing war. Considering the number of people that are still being killed in the war I certainly hope some sort of agreement can be reached. True, peace, does not provide food for the dogs for war but who cares. It would be good to see those dogs get put back into their place.

Speaking of Russia I saw an interview of Senator Mark Wayne Mullen and when questioned about Russia he made some sort of inane comment that Russian is faltering because they need the US Dollar and are feeling the effects of being a pariah state or something to that affect. Um, Senator, who do you think that you are kidding? Have you been drinking Senator Graham’s Neocon Kool Aid? Perhaps you should get a little bit of education about Russia and make a little more effort to see the world from their point of view and not the out-sized perspective of a man from Texas. Last I checked Russia is doing fine without the US dollar and the overbearing SWIFT system. Not only that Russia was invaded a little over eighty years ago and lost somewhere between 25 and 40 million of its people. The last time Texas was invaded was by Santa Anna. Of course, one could say Texas was occupied after the Civil War but it did not see nearly the amount of destruction that Tennessee, Alabama, Carolina’s and Virginia saw so there really is no comparison.

Speaking of the Chief Neocon of the Senate, Senator Graham, it surprises me that you do not have any perspective considering the state that you represent was paid a visit by General Sherman and his army during the War of Southern Rebellion. Sure it has been around 160 years but think about how long the collective memory of that war has stuck in the collective memory of the state that you represent. Imagine what could possibly be in the collective memory of the average every day Russian. I would hazard a guess that the Russians do not give one whit what the profit margins are of the western military industrialists are. What I am pretty sure they do give many whit’s about is the preservation of their society.

As for the Russian Frontier Lands (Ukraine) how can we blame the Russians for invading the lands east of the Dnieper River that are for the most part ethnic Russian? Especially after the war hawks and dunder headed former Vice President suggested allowing the Frontier Lands into NATO? Has Russian invaded Central and Western Europe in the past? Absolutely they have but only after more dunder headed western leaders (Napoleon and Hitler) threw the metaphoric first punches by invading Russia and its closest neighbors.

Which brings me to my final thought regarding Russia and Vladimir Putin. Is President Putin a ruthless and cunning leader with near dictatorial powers? Yes, by western European standards he absolutely is and I have no doubt that if I were a Russian I would not want to cross him. However, I would caution strongly against provoking a bear because when one pisses off a bear the outcome is not usually a pretty one. Vladimir Putin has managed to stay in power for a long time and who knows what his succession plan is, if any. I will say, however, that President Putin came to power during the push of other Neocons, for example Condoleezza Rice and others, when they began pushing into the Frontier Lands. The west has been lucky, so far, that President Putin has been measured and patient, so far, in his response to western provocations. However, one can only guess how long he and Russian people will maintain their patience.

Now that rant is out of my head, I have seen that there is only one out of three judges left to rule on unlocking any grand jury testimony regarding Jeffrey Epstein in three different jurisdictions. The first two have ruled against unlocking testimony. I have read that one of the judges who already ruled was an Obama appointee but I have to wonder if that is just media fodder to distract from the crimes and discovery of who all is and has been involved in the criminal behavior of Jeffrey Epstein. It truly does appear that there is a two tiered justice system in the United States which is criminal in and of itself. Once again, I will beat on my metaphoric drum that a family, a community, a state and a country cannot survive that either implicitly or complicitly allows its young to be abused for any reason.

Kash Patel is off opening offices in New Zealand but seems absent when it comes to arresting anyone in the United States for crimes. What is up with that? Mr. Patel, are you bought and paid for? Have you been compromised? Are you being extorted? What is going on? I see scant reports regarding anyone being fired or held accountable within the FBI but you have the time and money to open an office in New Zealand, the country being governed by leftists.

Moving on to the Department of Justice where is Director Bondi and where are the charges to be filed against the criminals that have operated with impunity at the highest levels of power and influence in the United States. The last time I saw the statue of Justicia she was wearing a blind fold and justice should be doled out without influence, pandering, and certainly not in a two tiered manner. Madam Director, you have a solemn and quite honestly a sacred duty and so far, I have seen little evidence to support that you believe in the true meaning of justice. How can the United States of America be the shining light on the hill if there is justice for one but no justice for another objectively?

To both Mr. Patel and Ms. Bondi, actions speak much louder than words. Words are, in fact, cheap.

Oh my goodness! I was about to wrap up my rants for the week and almost forgot about my favorite state to rant about. Of course, the state leadership makes it so easy to find things to rant about. Its Governor, Gavin Newsom, is calling a special election on November 4^th to “seek approval of redrawn districts intended to give Democrats five more US House seats.” You have got to be absolutely kidding me! The corruption of the California political elite is on full display considering leftist controlled Los Angeles can barely issue a building permit many months after the devastating fires ravaged it, California faces a budget short fall, California cannot build infrastructure (i.e. high speed rail), California roads are crumbling outside of the main interstate arteries and big cities, and its productive population continues to flee the state. Yet, Governor Newsom seems to be able to find money to fight Donald Trump, send relief to Puerto Rico for a hurricane that might make land fall, and call a special election. I am not sure if the California’s election system’s rigging can be beat in the special election but as a citizen of another state I think no more federal funding should go to California period. It is time to cut California off from the federal teat with the exception of national defense and federal public works programs and that these should not be managed by anyone currently in power in California. If that means by people from outside of California then so be it. Election Rigging Response Act? Governor Newsom, his benefactor Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and others need to be investigated for fraud, abuse of power, insider trading, and whatever else Justicia has been forced or duped into ignoring in her scales. Now, Mr. Patel and Ms. Bondi there is job that some ambitious investigators and prosecutors could sink their teeth into in addition to those who commit child trafficking and prostitution crimes.

Beijing is having a World Humanoid Robot Games with hip hop and martial arts competitions. Now this is truly unsettling in my mind. Just how far away are we from a robot army being used against us? We in the United States and the Western world need to wake up to the fact that the Chinese are very racist and absolutely do not value life in the way that the west is accustomed to. Chinese history is replete with examples of wars causing deaths in the millions and in which the victors destroy any vestige of their enemies. Maybe this is another history that Senators Mullen and Graham should study.

Lastly, I read that a woman was shot buy a gun in Chicago that was part of a buyback program. I hope this woman takes the city of Chicago to the cleaners and that, again, there is no federal bailout of the city to make up for its loss. Talk about corruption and malfeasance. It is obvious that criminals have had their hands dipping into this program, a program that was supposed to destroy the bought back weapons. Shouldn’t this fall into the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms? I wonder if they are investigating this. Something tells me that they probably are not. I certainly hope that I am wrong.

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 8.8.2025

My goodness, what happened to the past two weeks? I really like to write one time per week if for no reason than it gives me a chance to clear all the spam comments out of the blog’s inbox. Spam that has increased since the blog’s hosting company was bought by another company and at the same time the anti-spam app started charging more money. Sometimes it makes me wonder if I am being shook down? Well, I do not receive any money for my ramblings and I am quite certain that the major search engines have shadow banned me so I suppose I will just have to suck it up and continue to clear the spam out manually.

I read a report that Al Queda is running rampant in Africa beheading Christians and otherwise spreading their particular brand of terror. At the same time Christian Armenians are being killed by Islamic fundamentalists in western Turkey. During this time I have watched some mainstream media news and not a mention of these atrocities but we heard all about the starved Israeli hostages in Gaza. Please do not misconstrue that I do believe we need to hear about the starved Israeli but I have to ask why do we not hear about the brutalized and murdered Christians? What makes the starved Israelis more important news than the murdered Christians?

I have to commend the woman who was senselessly beaten in Cincinnati last week for speaking up. I would imagine the others who were beaten are too afraid to go public. It seems that the city of Cincinnati is ruled by criminals when the law abiding citizens are too afraid to speak up for fear of reprisals while the criminals are free to terrorize. My goodness even a city council woman supported the thugs who did the brutalizing. Umm, ma’am, slavery ended more than 160 years ago and it has been 60 years since the civil rights laws were passed. It is time to grow up and start acting like responsible adults and take responsibility for your actions and quite blaming everyone else for your problems. Quit buying into the race baiting charlatans who keep stirring up the pot (i.e. Al Sharpton etc.) to enrich themselves at your expense.

I am happy to see that the US Dept of Justice is opening a grand jury regarding the Russian collusion hoax. It is about time but I am not going to hold my breath that too much will happen. I suppose my cynicism tank is completely full and it will take some serious actions to drain it. Kind of like Epstein and all of the hullabaloo around him that really amounts to nothing more than that, Hullabaloo. In other words my cynicism tank will start to empty when I see actual charges being filed, files being released with names, and people are being convicted. I really do not buy any excuses up to and including national interest because, quite honestly, not exposing truths in these matters is in direct opposition to the national interest when the governed are losing trust and faith in the governing.

Lastly, I burst out laughing when I saw President Trump on the roof of the White House touring it while answering questions from the press corps on the ground. Such a 180 degree departure from the previous occupant of the White House at least physically. It really is good to see a man who is physically fit, mentally fit, and with the experience that Donald Trump brings to the presidency. Oh and by the way I just chuckled again.

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.

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.

Random Musings on Current Events 6.27.25

Wow! What a difference five days makes! The Middle East and Persia are relatively peaceful once again and the Supreme Court has issued a major ruling in which Justice Barrett has eloquently pointed out that an Imperial Judicial is no better than an Imperial Executive. Amen to that I say.

I had to laugh yesterday listening to Senator Graham be interviewed and his vehement denial that he was about using US military troops to affect regime change in Iran. It appears that someone got to him and pointed out the error of his ways. Who knows? Regardless, I am glad that he said what he said and it appears that is the prevailing attitude in Washington D.C. for the time being knowing it all could change next week.

It seems I was not too far off in one of my previous rants about California Governor Newsom eating at the French Laundry when the Los Angeles riots kicked off. Though he was not eating at the French Laundry he was at another event in Napa County attending a fundraiser or something of the sort. It is such a shame that the media in California is so corrupted and leftist that the majority of Californians will never hear a peep about that.

Moving even further to the left I am surprised at the surprise that a Democrat Socialist has won the New York City primary for the Democratic Party. Zohran Mamdani is the fruit of the tree that was planted several generations ago in New York City when the Frankist’s immigrated to the US from pre War Nazi Germany. What was once one of the greatest cities of free markets in the world has slowly been corrupted by uneducated immigrants, some of my ancestors included, and is now on the brink of total collapse. The true drivers of freedom and western values are either long gone, recently departed and, if not already gone, probably seriously considering their options. Quite honestly, at this moment, there really is no one to blame but those who stood by and stand by and let it happen. Those who were so comfortable that they did not stand up to the corruption, however dangerous it was to stand up. Those who stood by while those few who did stand up were overcome and drowned out by the corruption.

Speaking of the NYC primary I find it ironic that one of the largest blocks of voters who voted for the Marxist are college educated white women. I have to question why this block of people are so enamored with big government and big brother taking care of them? Why are they not finding mates that can take care of them and raise families together? Why are they more interested in all that is unholy rather than what is life supporting? If the argument is made that the government will support life, I would ask each and every one of them, what basis are they saying that the government will support life?

It appears that President Trump was able to obtain commitments from NATO to fund NATO. This is a good thing and I guess the proof will be in the pudding.

I learned recently that the Department of Health and Human Service’s Immunization Injury Compensation Plan has only paid for one wrongful death and a few handfuls of claims for injuries. On top of that there is a cap on wrongful death claims of $250,000 despite their website saying the maximum for a claim is $400,000. This is a system that has been in place for decades and listening to the number of claims actually having been paid my trust in this system to look out for me and my loved ones is collapsing. This is just more evidence, to me that the Pharmaceutical Industry has coopted the government agencies that purport to safeguard the general population from the Pharmaceutical giants and that they are, in essence, allowing the makers and purveyors of vaccines to use the general public as lab rats and a guaranteed revenue stream. What a business model, I tell you.

The Federal Reserve is not lowering rates which does not bother me in the least. Sure, I have some credit card debt, albeit not too much, and my rates will remain higher but who cares. I am becoming aware of the fact that more is going on than what meets the eyes and, if it is true, I am going to agree with the Federal Reserve’s moves, at least for now. Not that they are listening to me one bit but it is my fault that I have the debt and so, therefore, I know that I must deal with the consequences and in the long run what the Federal Reserve is doing could be for the best.

There are some other things that I could ramble, rant, and or rave about but, for now, I will wrap this regular edition of Random Musing up.

Special Edition Random Musings on Current Events 6.22.2025

Yes, I have chosen to call this rambling and rant a special edition succumbing to the never ending special editions, emergencies etc. that the media and government are always starting off their broadcasts and extra constitutional rule making. The unceasing drum beat of these special reports and emergencies that work to numb our minds and keep us plebes subservient to their wishes while the masters and elites enrich themselves at my expense.

I had planned to publish a Random Musing this past Friday and yesterday but found myself quite busy working for what I hope was God and just did not get around to it. What I had planned to discuss was the growing drumbeat for war in the guise of bombing the purported sites that Israel could not reach with their weaponry. Suddenly, the voices of Senators Lankford and Graham calling for the US to take direct action and my stomach clenched. I was going to say something to the effect that I hoped President Trump was measured and calculating in his response and that he was not rash in his action and he is not captured by the Neocons and the moneyed interests that support the Senators and others like them.

The events of last night, Saturday, June 21, 2025, US Time or early this morning Tehran time at first seem to have superseded my ramblings. However, I am not so sure and which is why I have to issue this Conservative Constitutionalist Special Report for June 22, 2025.

First, it is my opinion that there is still time to ensure this does not escalate into a huge Middle Eastern debacle for the United States. Sure the United States has dropped the largest non-nuclear devices in the world on the purported Iranian nuclear sites. Let me state that I am old enough to remember the Iranian hostage crisis and personally have known at least one person killed in Iraq by a roadside bomb that was most likely planted by those that Iran supported at least monetarily. I also understand that Iran has threatened the US and Israel and I get why Israel has acted against the country. I do not agree with it but I get it which is why I have kept my ramblings quiet.

Now, however, after spending so much capital enriching defense elites, banking elites at the expense of the American people over the past several decades in Middle Eastern wars and engineering financial crisis in 2007-2009 I am of the mind that the Unites States should step back and let Israel expend her capital fighting this war. When the Neocons in the Senate, Congress and the media begin to speak of regime change my stomach roils and a sense of nausea immediately permeates my being. The United States cannot afford another war and I say let Israel take care of the business in her back yard. Let Israel spend its capital wealth affecting regime change in Iran if that is what is truly wanted. I personally have no stomach for it.

So, some may ask, what if Iran retaliates and strikes US forces abroad or within the United States? Well, I for one hope that if it happens near me that I have the wherewith all to fight back and put the bad actors down in place. I hope that local, state and federal law enforcement has the will to pursue these threats as well and hold them accountable. If US forces are attacked overseas, I hope there is political will to do the same up and to the point of the attackers. I see no more reason for escalation and, again, if Israel wants to do so then go right ahead. They asked for US help because Israel did not have the weapons to reach the purported nuclear sites. Great, the US helped and I see no reason to help Israel out any more than they have been helped.

Speaking of which does anyone else find it interesting that the news of the riots and the mismanagement of California officials of the Palisades Fire and other fires has completely disappeared? Here we had open displays of the flags of a foreign power in a US city while the President of that foreign country and others in that country calling for the portions ceded of Mexico to the United States by treaty in the early 1800s to be ceded back to Mexico and now, we are helping another country with their problem half way around the world. What about the problems in the United States like a communist, narco insurgency in arguably the state with the largest economy in the Unites States? Oh, I suppose that does not matter when the interests that Senators Graham and Lankford represent have seen their profits from overseas operations dwindle since the end of Afghanistan.

Right now all I can hope for is that President Trump and his team take a step back from this bull shit and remember the vast majority of Americans that voted for them. That the message that was delivered to them, sure with the financial backing of some who want this war and stay out of the never ending cycle of entanglement in the Middle East. Entanglements that so often benefit Israel and the European financial institutions. Let them fight their own wars because the US policeman needs a break and needs to protect itself at home where the problems just seem to be getting worse. Another regime change operations has the potential, at least in the state of mind that I am in when doing this rumble, to break the back of the United States in so many ways, not least of which are socially, militarily, and financially.

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.
