Random Musings on Current Events 8-25-2023

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the lines in an increasingly blue state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format.

The Pretender in Chief decided to grace Maui with his presence this past Monday. I guess his handlers finally got enough heat that they decided to let him out of his cage or wake him up enough to make the trip to the Aloha State. Meanwhile, the curtain of opacity has descended on the island and the islands governments. Governments rife with nepotism and corruption.

I finally listened to “Rich Men North of Richmond” by Oliver Anthony. Finally! A good protest song being sung by someone who truly believes what he is singing. I can only pray that he does not lose his way in the sudden fame that he is garnering. I pray because if there is more of this in him that I am sure I and others want to hear.

The county that I live in just approved an increase of nearly $300/year for those who operate short term rentals (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.). At its core the purpose of the fee increase will include hiring two additional staff members to administer the counties permitting of the short term rentals within its boundaries. This all came about because of neighbor complaints in an exclusive neighborhood in the county where 94% of these short term rentals exist and it is a neighborhood with far higher values than the rest of the county and where many of the owners of these homes are absent most of the year. So, those who live outside of this neighborhood are now being asked to subsidize the poor management of those who live in this neighborhood and, in addition, the taxpayer now must pay for additional salaries in an already bloated bureaucratic institution. Sounds like the county government is emulating the rich men north of Richmond playbook.

Donald Trump has been arrested by the Fulton County Georgia Sheriff and even got a mug shot taken of him. You have got to be kidding me with the banana republic charade that most likely holds no legal water. Interesting that the Republican debate’s ratings are half of the first Republican debate in 2015. Maybe because Rupert Murdoch is benefiting from the immigration flow across the border like many other crony capitalists and elitists in both parties, ahem, excuse me the uni-party.

It pumps me up to see Senator Tuberville not rubber stamping the promotions of flag and general officers! Thank goodness someone in Congress, along with those who support the Senator, are doing their jobs.

Well now I have another reason to like Carlos Santana besides just his music. In this instance it is because I happen to agree with him regarding a man being a man and a woman being a woman. As I have said before, A male has an XY chromosome pair and woman has an XX chromosome pair. I do not care how one mutilates or drugs themselves in the vain, egotistical, sick manner in order to pretend to be the opposite sex, they are not. End of story, enough said, close the books on this one.

More aid is being promised to Ukraine. I guess the Biden’s and the rest of the ilk in Washington need more money to ensure the next election does not go Donald Trump’s way. Let’s see they have paid of the Manhattan DA’s office, the Washington D.C. DA’s office, the Fulton County DA’s office, the mainstream media and who knows who else and Donald Trump is gaining more ground in the polls. Holy cow how many more people are they going to have to pay off because I am sure the coffers are running low which would explain why more dollars need to get laundered through Ukraine!!! On the flip side this shows the depravity, ruthlessness and quite honestly idiocy of the group running this country that they are willing to kill the goose that lays the golden egg and not even realize that they are killing it.

 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 am already hearing reports that Real Estate agents in Hawai’i are representing investors ready to purchase land in and around Lahaina on Mau’i, books are purportedly being written to blame the fires on climate change, the governor or Hawaii has announced the state of Hawaii should seize the land for housing, and the politicians in Hawaii and Washington D.C. are blaming the fire on climate change. You have got to be kidding me!!! They have not even finished recovering the dead let alone had services to say goodbye to the dead! Talk about inhuman, callous, reprehensible, self-serving, sociopaths. Number one you should be ashamed of yourselves and if incapable of being ashamed of yourselves you should be locked up because you are a clear and present danger to humanity.

I am looking forward to the Rugby World Cup and to see in the Springboks or South Africa can defend their title. Speaking of South Africa, I am very aware of a meeting that will take place next week between the BRICS nations. It will be very interesting to see what comes of it, no doubt.

Whoa! James Comer of Kentucky is demanding the documents from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is demanding the documents and communications in which the Vice President Biden, err Peters, err Ware among others be turned over. I wonder if it matters.

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.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those on Maui and especially to those who lost their lives and to their loved ones.

Geez, I feel so much better knowing David Weiss was appointed special counsel to investigate Hunter and the rest of the Biden’s. Just another bunch of smoke and mirrors that will spend millions of taxpayer dollars to accomplish nothing of substance, I would imagine.

I sure am glad that I do not live in Illinois and specifically Chicago. Imagine living in the murder capital of the United States and it being difficult if not illegal to own or possess sufficient or proper firearms to defend oneself? Then again, maybe it is because of the draconian gun laws that Chicago is the murder capital.

I am supposed to believe that President Trump is guilty of all these charges being brought against him? Sure, it really does not affect me, now, however, if these people will trump up charges to go after a former President what would they do to someone like me? Well, I think we already have a glimmer considering they unleashed a global pandemic that has killed unknown millions either directly or as the aftermath of shutting down a whole world’s economy and will continue to do so for who knows how long. I am but a flea but President Trump is not and it explains, to me, why they go after him so viciously.

It is my understanding that there are people out there who are still getting “COVID”. I would imagine these cases have been verified by the tests that some have made millions, if not billions of dollars from. Tests that some have shown to be inaccurate and unreliable but hard to say for certain because these tests and their results have been censored.

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.

The socialist, neocon uni-party really cannot stand Donald Trump. Anytime anything new against the Biden’s is released another indictment or such is pushed out against President Trump. Now the neocons are essentially saying on the Sunday morning circuit about how a vote for President Trump is a vote for Biden. I thank President Trump for stepping into the fray because just that act of him doing so has exposed the grafters and fraudsters in the Republican Party as well as the Democrat Party for what they truly are.

Speaking of President Trump, another set of charges around January 6 and his purported involvement and actions around that day in Washington D.C. Like I am supposed to believe that he was fairly elected. Let me see if I remember correctly, COVID, a man made disease was unleashed in the year leading up to the election, the nation was summarily shut down and we were asked to cower in fear in our homes, Legislatures across the nation voted for and allowed mail in ballots over lengthy periods of time in which, a man who never left his basement and has the charisma of a turnip, beat an incumbent populist president with the largest number of votes cast ever. In fact, President Trump even had more votes than ever received by any Presidential candidate in the history of our nation. One thing that I have noticed lately is the establishment is usually guilty of what they accuse their opponents of. It seems like there is a lot of projection coming out of the establishment elites.

I sure would like to see the Tucker Carlson interview with Steven Sund that was going to air the day Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News. According to former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Sund the January 6 crowd was “filled with federal agents”. Hmm, could these agents have been agent provocateurs?

Now it seems Senator McConnell is joining the ranks of Senator Feinstein in his inability to complete sentences.

I am sorry but I do not plan to go see either Barbie or Oppenheimer at the theaters. First, I do not want to see Barbie because I have never liked Barbie or Ken and would have rather played with trucks and cars. Secondly, I really do not need to know Hollywood’s version of Robert Oppenheimer, a complex and enigmatic genius at best.

Illinois has legalized non US citizens to be police officers? Is that not the equivalent of allowing a foreign power to raise a foreign army located inside our nation’s borders? Something stinks about this.

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 am reading the California governor wants to spend $4.5 million for undocumented aliens in the tarnished state. This is ostensibly to aid the workers in labor investigations. In all actuality it is for the attorneys that represent them and knowing the corruption and cost of attorneys this money will not last long. Better to spend the money repaving a section of pot holed road in the Sierra Nevada’s or elsewhere destroyed by this last winter’s storms. Will that happen? No, Gavin Newsom has a campaign to finance after all.

ESPN is asking for the sports leagues to invest in the company that is failing. Maybe ESPN, you should report on sports and not politics and you might see your ratings rise. Not only that but eliminate some of the commercial breaks and get rid of the self-aggrandizing, racist Stephen Smith. He is nothing but poison and is one of the reasons I no longer watch your network.

Hmm, New York state has a $36 billion shortfall due to “taxpayers fleeing”. Geez, I wonder why they are fleeing.

I read a report in which Utah Representative Jason Chaffetz called on House Speaker McCarthy and Senator McConnell to press for action on the Biden family’s business dealings. Congressman Chaffetz I do not believe either one of them will push the matter because Senator McConnell and his family are just a guilty and do not want to shine light on the practices of the uni-party. I am not sure about Speaker McCarthy but his actions or lack thereof certainly indicate that he is hamstrung for some reason.

Europe seems to be on fire this week and summer as Rhodes is being evacuated and Palermo’s airport on Sicily has been closed. My cynicism is on high alert as mysterious fires have developed, like those is Canada and the US West in previous years and this year.

Yellow Freight purportedly maybe filing for bankruptcy next week. Hmm, interesting I wonder what is behind their business failure?

I think Senators Durbin and Whitehouse should be brought up for impeachment or expulsion from the Senate under High Crimes and Misdemeanors. What gives them the right to target private citizens and conservative Supreme Court Justices’ communications? This smacks of a willful infringement of Constitutional Rights.

I am watching the fallout of Britain’s Nigel Farage’s debanking as the second CEO of a bank that he was debanked from has been fired-cum-resigned.  What I find interesting, as well, is that the UK Government is the majority shareholder of NatWest one of the banks that delisted Nigel Farage.

The Hunter Biden saga continues and the courts are now revealing what the alternate media has said all along. Information that has been and is still suppressed by the old media and the big tech platforms going back to the last Presidential election. What I must wonder is why now?  

Fox is forcing Jason Aldean to remove BLM riot footage from his video. Yet more proof, in a long list, of why I no longer trust or watch Fox News going back to 2020.

Speaking of Senators, Sen. Tuberville is pushing the Senate to seriously review the promotion of each General and Flag officer above the rank of O-7. This means he is tasking the Senate to review the second star and above for each officer selected by the DOD which is one of the jobs of the Senate. A serious review instead of rubber stamping the nominations. After the debacle of Afghanistan, the forced COVID bio warfare injections on our service members, and the military’s focus on transgenderism etc. I think it is high time more attention be paid to these promotions. The flag and general officer corps has failed this nation and the service members who serve under them and they need to be held accountable.

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 present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format.

I am reading about the ruling by US District Court Judge Karin Immergut regarding Oregon’s new gun control law. In her opinion she mentions that large capacity magazines “are not commonly used for self-defense, are therefore not protected by the Second Amendment.” Well, it is obvious that Justice Immergut has never been in a fire fight defending herself against a well-armed attacker intent on killing her. In that type of moment 10 rounds is not going to help one defend themselves for very long.

Well, my goodness gracious now the Screen Actors Guild has gone on strike to coincide with the Writer’s Guild of America being on strike. So, nothing new will be coming out of Hollywood for a while after the productions currently finished and in the pipeline for release are finished. Wait a minute, has anything really new or refreshing come out of Hollywood in a while? Come to think of it, no.

Evidently, according to a French poll, three quarters of France would approve stripping citizenship from dual nationals who participated in the recent riots in France. Um, I would think that more stripping them of citizenship would be required such as deporting them. I am sure the once citizens of Constantinople would agree with my statement were they still alive.

Does anyone really believe that John Kerry’s trip to China had anything to do with the climate and COP28? Give me a break it is all a cover for whatever the real reason behind his trip aboard his private jet. Does the word hypocrite resonate with anyone else?

Mike Pence’s campaign keeps trying to solicit money from me. Yeah right, like I am going to support a neocon. I will give him a bit a slack in that he does have some offspring serving or having served in the military.

A cross has been burnt at a church in England, East London specifically, and this church has also been threatened with being completely burned down. Shades of Notre Dame and other Christian churches being burnt down across Europe. Does anyone believe that Mayor Sadiq Kahn will do anything about it? London has probably already fallen to the non-Christians.

I have read about the US Woman’s soccer team not paying proper respect to the US National Anthem. Shame on them and I will not pay a whiff more attention to their games.

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.

Does anyone else get a little anxious going into July? Perhaps, it is a bit of my Irish ancestry, on both sides of The Troubles and the Orange-men July marches, getting restless. Especially, as this historically has been the marching season. The days are long, the air heavy, and everyone is waiting for the summer harvest.

I had occasion to learn of a couple who hail from the San Francisco Bay Area (Sonoma for those who are familiar) who are originally from New York City. It seems they checked into one of those Airbnb or VRBO places nearby me which is in a semi-rural location. The hosts put it in their welcoming letter that the place is semi-rural and that there may be dirt, bugs and mice on occasion but to let the hosts know as there are mouse traps set etc. Well, it seems this couple saw a spider and a beetle no longer than ½’ long crawled out of the sink in this short term rental.  

The couple complained and wanted a refund as they vacated the place within hours leaving the owner out at least two nights of rental. I cannot believe how spoiled big city Americans are and they claim to be the smart ones. The ones who know what is best for me and others who do not live in the coastal big cities. The same people who cannot deal with a spider and small beetle.

So, Mark Suckerberg, whoops I mean Zuckerberg, has started Threads, purportedly to compete against Elon Musk’s Twitter. Whoa, let me sign up for yet another platform started by a socially retarded geek who is most likely just a front for a government spy agency. Meta is claiming tens of millions of new subscribers on day one of the platforms launch. Geez, I wonder how many Meta users were either automatically enrolled by bots or how many of the tens of millions are just bots? Trust me I would not want to advertise with them.

Cluster bombs to Ukraine? Throw the neocons out or better yet; let the neocons themselves, their children, and their grandchildren go to the front. Perhaps a new law, constitutional amendment or something else totally beyond the scope of reality shout be created. This would require any law maker or holder of high office to be required to serve at the front. If they are too old then some of their offspring should be required to serve at the front. If they have no offspring then they should not be allowed to debate, vote, or be part of any decision that sends other’s or their offspring to war.

Yet again more child sex abuse by those in places of influence or high office. This time at the BBC. These pedophiles should be held accountable for their crimes and the most importantly those who create, allow or turn a blind eye to these types of folks need to be held accountable as well.

Wow! It seems Elton John has finished up the last gig of his last tour. I wonder how long it will be before he returns for another last gig of his last tour. I know I know a bit of cynicism on display.

It is relieving to see that a federal court issued an injunction that prevents the federal government from colluding with social media. Hopefully, this preliminary injunction will become a permanent injunction and eventually law. What happened in the last presidential election and during the COVID hysteria must never be allowed to happen again in a “fee” society. Thank you, Senator Schmitt from Missouri.

I see President Trump paid a visit to the UFC event in Las Vegas this last weekend. I loved listening to Kid Rock in the background as he made his entrance. Just watching the Twitter feeds showing his entrance made me smile.

Hey President Biden! Perhaps you should meet with Benjamin Netanyahu, after all, I would trust the Israelis any day over anyone else over there in that part of the world. Or did they not pay enough bribe money to Hunter or whoever else is running the family enterprise? Or maybe it is they do not agree with the followers of Islam and supporters of the Iranian Mullahs that are pulling your strings?

Oh, my goodness a teacher was stabbed by a student in Britain, a county with some of the strictest gun controls in the world!!! Wtf happened, you mean violence still happens. Imagine that. As I get older and not as nimble as I once was in my youth it gives me comfort to know that I can still carry a firearm to protect myself against those who are younger and more agile than me.

Another report shows three children were among the six killed in stabbings at a kindergarten in China. China, one of the most repressed countries in the world. If just one adult in the school had a firearm how many of the dead would be dead now?

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.

France is burning and do I really care? Not really and I am ashamed to admit it. France has many problems the least of which is they turned away from God in their revolution and it turned into a bloody mess unlike the leaders of the American revolution who embraced divine providence and prayed regularly to God. Yes, the founders of the United States of America separated church and state they completely embraced God in their private lives and felt it necessary to properly govern the fledgling nation. I find it interesting that the more people are dependent upon God the less dependent on a central governing body they need to be. Perhaps this is the reason churches could not open during COVID while the big box stores, strip clubs, and casinos in some states could remain open?

It is almost amusing now that I am getting solicitation texts from several candidates for public office. I financially supported one candidate once and have seen my information sold over and over again to other candidates from the same party. I now mark all solicitations as junk and if I ever support a candidate, I will not provide my telephone number or my email address. Talk about a thriving industry.

Cocaine was found in the White House!!! Oh, my goodness! Stop the presses! Support for the Biden’s or perhaps even Kamala Harris is waning considering the report that I read said it was found near the Vice President’s office. I think the general public would be surprised to learn that the use of cocaine within the elites of our country is nothing new. At first, I would have immediately suspected Hunter Biden which the press, in general, suspects. I would like to posit that it could also involve the Vice President. I say involve because God knows cocaine has been a mainstay in Oakland, California elites going back decades. Who knows, perhaps Hunter was visiting the Vice President and their dealer misplaced their delivery.

Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria! Now this is something that truly caught my attention.

The National Bank of Ukraine is claiming that it has a $38.99 billion in foreign reserves which is its highest level in its history as a so called independent nation. Geez, I wonder how much of that is money is American money that should have been spent in the United States. I question this especially considering the state of road repair in my own locale after a tough winter. I also question this wondering how much of that money will end up back in offshore bank accounts to support the Uniparty candidates in the next election cycle. This while US Veteran’s benefits cost of living adjustments have now been tied to the inflation rate by law. An inflation rate that does not include the cost of food or energy. Food that has seen 50% inflation in just the last year or so.

Mike Pence was on the Hugh Hewitt Show and said that if elected he would provide Ukraine any aid that was required to win its war with Russia. He also said regarding Russia’s military campaign, “.is not just warfare. It’s evil.” Further evidence that Mike Pence is a neocon member of the nation’s Uniparty.

I am following with some fascination the news regarding the Wagner Group in the Ukraine conflict and now throughout the world. My take is that the Wagner Group and its leader somehow were turned, if they were not already puppets, by MI6 and or the CIA. My mind can race and imagine many different scenarios but I do not have the time or inclination to write about any of these. Suffice it to say I believe this to be a distraction to keep the general public’s eye away from something else that is going on.

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.

Hunter Biden, a Politically Exposed Person (PEP), is apparently receiving a sweetheart deal from the Department of Justice for tax fraud. The crack junkie in chief has made numerous millions of dollars overseas and failed somehow to report much of this and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) being in place did not catch any of this despite banks being required to scrutinize these sorts of transactions. Especially considering the potential for fraud, corruption, bribery and other financial improprieties of a PEP due to his father being either the Vice President or President of the United States when committing these crimes and he merely receives two misdemeanors? One must wonder if the United States has fully descended into banana republic status. Where are the true statesmen and leaders in Washington D.C.? Are there any statesmen and true leaders left in Washington D.C.? 

Speaking of crackheads, I remember a time in the late 1980’s when in Oakland, California crack was the drug of choice. This was the time that Kamala Harris was young, Gangster Rap was in its ascent, and the Southern and Northern California gangsters who survived began to make their transitions to mainstream flush with money. I cannot help but wonder, considering the way the Democratic Party operates if the influence of grown up gangsters is the reigning influence in the party. Its decay is evident considering the city of Oakland is losing yet another professional franchise and politically connected crackheads seem to be immune from prosecution. This while the same party continually attempts to disarm the average law abiding middle class citizen. Talk about a long slow death.

I just heard a statistics and it involved the population of urban versus rural in the state that I live in. It was brought to my attention by a gentleman who is a devout Democrat from New York City. He lives in the western United States now which is where I am typing from and he encouraged those of us who would listen to make friends with someone in the big cities because this is the direction of demographic change. 

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.

The summer solstice occurred two days ago and the day before it I woke up to see frost on the roofs of my neighbor’s houses and once, I went outside the roof of my house as well. This while the south is evidently in the middle of a heat wave. Oh, my goodness climate change!!!! The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

It has happened in my hometown and county. The local public library hosted a drag queen story time and, subsequently, they have scheduled more for satellite libraries around the region. I must ask myself why would any self-respecting man dress themselves up in drag to tell stories to children in a library? Then I must ask myself why would any self-respecting librarian allow this to happen? The answers to that question that come into my head are not good.

I had occasion to speak with a person educated in an east coast Ivy League institution for this person’s post-secondary education. This person is quite arrogant in my opinion and professed to know what is best for me without asking or determining a whit about me. This has not been the first time that I have come across this type of individual nor will it be the last time I am quite confident. What I have noticed about this type of person is that they usually have an agenda and the agenda does not care one bit about me or my loved ones.

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.
