Random Musings on Current Events 2.20.2026

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, revelations and gratitude’s in a sort of stream of conscious journal format and, yes, there may be some sarcasm thrown in.

I have watched some more Olympics and quite honestly, I am disgusted that the Russians are not allowed to compete in the games. This, obviously, a decision by western European elites who have pushed and pushed the bear and because of their own failures at governing have once again chosen the bear to be their bogey man. Their bogey man that is used to distract their constituents while they run Western Europe into the ground with their deindustrialization schemes and quite honestly are running Europe and her culture into oblivion. In the process they are trying to drag the United States into their self-created crisis of incompetence or self-immolation or cultural suicide.

I watched some more snowboarding events and it is without a doubt, in my mind, that the judges of this once American sport are now Europeans who judge according to political norms rather than based on how good a snow border is in a particular event.

On another note how can one not praise Alysa Liu and her family’s journey to become an American and to represent her country. Congratulations Ms. Liu on your accomplishment!

I am reading about Tucker Carlson being harassed by Israeli security services after an interview of the American Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee. According to Mr. Tucker the US ambassador did not investigate his version of the events but instead took the side of the Israelis or perhaps Benjamin Netanyahu. It sure smells of an Israeli information warfare operation with perhaps the collusion of the Ambassador being run on Mr. Carlson and his crew.

Oh and by the way I read today that Ambassador Huckabee is spouting the Netanyahu line today about Iran still enriching uranium and building up ballistic missiles and yada yada yada. OK, Mr. Netanyahu, I mean Ambassador Huckabee. We know that you are part of the old guard Republicans and I would imagine closely aligned with the Neocons led by Senator Graham. I still say that if Israel wants to attack Iran, then let them. Would I rather live in Israel than Iran, no doubt and my loyalties fall firmly in Alexander’s camp versus the Persians. However, I am sick and tired of Americans being the worlds police force while our treasure is plundered by old world oligarchs and this anti Iranian drumbeat is nothing but another ploy to embroil the United States in another war that only benefits old world European oligarchs. Go fight your own damn fight and do not ask me to bail you out or protect you.

I was always a bit dubious of the grounds that the Trump administration used to support their tariffs on foreign countries and it appears the Supreme Court’s majority felt the same. Quite honestly all I have to say is so what. The Trump administration either had contingency plans in place or developed them in this eventuality and has already replaced these overturn tariffs with others using different justifications which appear to be much tighter and legal. Shoot even Justice Kavanaugh spelled out some of this. It seems the tariffs which really are not as bad as some would lead us to believe are working after all and will continue to do so. The best of it is that the tariffs support actual industry in the United States and if it comes at the expense of the banking and financial industries all that come to mind for me to say is, “So what”.

This tragic Nancy Guthrie fiasco continues in Tucson, Arizona. Everyone knows that Tucson is in control of narco terrorists and the Sheriff is an empty suit in the mold of Gavin Newsom. One cannot help but wonder if the Guthrie kidnapping is a cartel connected operation gone bad and if the Pima County Arizona Sheriff is covering for it in some way? The evidence sure seems to be pointing more and more in the direction considering the Sheriff is not using any Federal assistance. It really is too bad for the Guthrie family and my prayers go out to them.

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me for my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.

Random Musings on Current Events 2.13.2026

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, revelations and gratitude’s in a sort of stream of conscious journal format and, yes, there may be some sarcasm thrown in.

I am sitting down this morning to type my ramblings, rumblings, rants, revelations and gratitude’s this morning and seem to be drawing a blank. Throughout the course of the week I have listened to so much, read quite a bit and even had a couple of conversations and do you think that I can remember what I thought about typing this morning? Well, if you guessed not a thing then you guessed correctly. So, I believe I will start with what I am grateful for this February morning the day before St. Valentines Day.

First, I am grateful for the founding fathers of the United States of America and, in particular, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and others of their group who could have set the United States of America down the path of a European monarchy but did not. Instead George Washington chose to live by the Constitution as best he could and Alexander Hamilton charted a course that expanded the new nation’s economy and actually paid of the Revolutionary War debt. George Washington even raised an army of sorts to stamp down the nascent rebellion fomented by Thomas Jefferson and his allies in an effort to preserve the Constitution and, therefore, the Union. I am grateful that I live in the country founded on these principles despite the effort of so many to subvert the ideals and the Constitution itself from within.

Speaking of which I am hearing all kinds of nonsense about President Trump making unconstitutional executive orders and etc. Perhaps he is but I have to say it is refreshing to see a true executive in the position of Chief Executive wield the power granted to him as a Chief Executive could and would. Now, it is up to the other two branches of government to step up to the plate and balance President Trump’s use of executive authority as the founders intended our government to work. That being said I would hope the judiciary does what the original intent was and that is to weigh the merits of the case against the Constitution and not try to legislate from the bench. The legislative branch, well, what can be said about that group of individuals that most often seem more interested in pandering to special interests and getting reelected than actually being law makers. When members of the legislative branch let special interests write legislation there is a big problem. Personally, I think it is time to resurrect the idea of term limits for Congress in order to avoid or at least limit the influence of special interests.

Speaking of a complete shirking and relinquishing of authority by Congress, I am learning of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 in which Congress gave away the power given to it by the Constitution and, quite honestly, I am not too thrilled with what I am learning. I think one of the biggest fallacies that I am coming to grips with is the so called independence of the Federal Reserve that I have been told about my whole life. Sure, the Federal Reserve is independent of Congress and the Executive but is it really independent? No, it is not independent of the super huge banks that underpin the Federal Reserve Bank and that are essentially its shareholders. It does not take a mental giant to see how the Federal Reserve and its policies have not been to support the US middle class, industrial class or any other class but the financial class over the decades and it is only getting worse. Perhaps it is time for Congress and or the Executive via the Department of Treasury to reel back some of the Constitutional powers into the hands specifically spelled out in the Constitution.

I have been watching the Olympics a little bit and have to say a certain European arrogance has taken over what was once a uniquely American sport. The sport of snowboarding is the sport I speak of and perhaps even short track speed skating. In particular, I watched the snowboard slalom finals yesterday and one of the Americans was disqualified despite what appeared to be incidental contact. This after what appeared to be groups of Europeans working in concert to keep him and others in other races out of the lead. Quite honestly, I would say Mr. Vedder, at least on the television, kept his composure, did not cuss, and just called it insane, which is good but I will say that I did a bit of cussing for him in the privacy of my own home. My question is how many of the judges are American now for snowboarding?

I just learned that the House has cleared the SAVE Act and it now moves to the Senate. Let’s us all hope and pray that the Senate Republicans can get out of their own ways to pass this bill. If it does not pass, it will be even clearer who of the Republicans are on the take and corrupted by the current voting process. Quite frankly I would like to see the act include banning mail in ballots but I suppose one cannot get too greedy at this moment. Oh, I would have added Democrats to the above sentences but I believe it is implicitly assumed that they are already on the take as the democrat party benefits most from the current voting system.

I have to throw a thought out there to see if it provokes any discussion. Has anyone else noticed that it is the same political party, Democratic Party, that fomented and got the Civil War going on in the 1800’s that is pushing for civil war again in the country? This is the party of slavery, civil war, now mass corruption and money laundering, and leftists. Geez, one would have to think that maybe they really do not support the Constitution.

I will close out my ramblings and rants with another moment of gratitude. I am grateful that my European ancestors left Europe to seek out, search, and build greater opportunities and freedoms that they never would have been afforded in their home lands. I am grateful that I have inherited the spark of industry, perseverance and courage that has been rewarded in the United States and that would never have been rewarded in Europe. Now, I can pray that we as Americans can wake up and quit sending our treasure our ideas and inventions to a class of freeloading parasites that seem to have remained in Europe and that will never be satisfied with what they have.

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me for my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.

Random Musings on Current Events 1.20.2026

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.

Once again events overtook me and I am a bit late getting out my most recent rumblings and ramblings thanks to work and being ill.

Everyone that I listen to or read is certainly watching President Trump and his visit to Davos this week. Quite honestly, so am I. It actually pumps me up a bit to watch our President stand up to Europe and its monarchical class with some still actual monarchy’s. I personally have worked with and socialized with Europeans and their sycophants here in the US and quite honestly most of them make my skin crawl. These are the descendants of the same European rulers that my European ancestors were getting away from when they came to America. What makes them so great, I have to ask myself. Not only that but the current leaders of Western Europe are driving the once great, neo classical liberal culture of Europe and running it into the ground. I am sure Charlemagne, Joan of Arc, King Sobieski, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella and many others of European history have to be shaking their heads in disgust from beyond their graves.

Let us hope that cool heads prevail in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the coming weeks and other blue cities into the summer. Something tells me that this is probably not going to happen, however, considering the coming midterm elections are going to be pivotal to the entrenched powers in this country and the international elites. The European and US leaches that have been feeding off of the US middle class for decades have an existential threat to their existence staring them in the face and his name is Donald J. Trump.  The trouble is the globalist leftist parasite class will stop at nothing to perpetuate their hold on power as can be seen with COVID, the summer of love protests in 2020, the fraudulent elections and etc. It is going to be an interesting summer, no doubt.

I let one of my vehicles fuel get to low the other day and I had to fill up in a place that I do not normally go to because it is more expensive than other options a bit further away. So I decided to put $20 in to get me through expecting to barely see my fuel gauge increase by a quarter of a tank. I was surprised when I saw that I got nearly 3/8 of a tank and my surprise was pleasant. I am grateful for this break in fuel prices, no doubt.

Speaking of Europe and the stranglehold that has been placed on the world by a tiny island nation whose name shall not be mentioned but is in Europe on the world’s economy. It seems that the price of gold is trading at $4,716.00 per ounce and silver at $93.22 per ounce. Has the control of the bullion exchange over these markets been wrested away by true marked forces? I am hearing rumors of actual silver bullion being traded for over $100 per ounce in Shanghai and the US Mint is charging north of $169 per 1 ounce American Eagle coin. It makes me wonder what the true value of these metals is and where they will finally settle out. A place that foreign marketers cannot hold artificially low with their paper trading.

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me for my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.

Random New Years Musings on 1.2.2026

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.

Happy New Year to all and may 2026 be a good year and God bless 2025 as we see it go into our rear view mirrors.

I first have to wish my condolences to the families of those killed in the Swiss chalet fire and to the family of Victoria Jones. I know there are parents grieving the loss of their children today as most days, however, it is in our faces because of all the media coverage today. God bless them all.

Who is Shlomo Kramer and who is he to be telling us that it is time to limit the First Amendment? Umm, Mr. Kramer the reason the First Amendment is in place was because of old world despotism and the desire of the early American colonialists to ensure that type of despotism did not take hold in the new world. Go back to Israel and stay out of my country! I am tired of pussy footing around with my language and so I will say it bluntly. You are an enemy of my country and should never be allowed to step foot in the United States. As far as I am concerned you are no Persona Non Grata.

Speaking of language I have come to the conclusion in the last week after talking with loved ones and mostly disengaging from all manner of media that I am tired of the attacks on my language. Let the preceding paragraph be a foreshadowing of sorts because I am tired of it and anyone who tries to tell me that my language is wrong or does not reflect reality when in fact it does, I know will consider them my enemy. For example, the use of pronouns and concerted effort to keep me back on my heals when determining what is correct for a transgender person. I am finished with the crap. I will refer to the person with the genetics that they are born with and if I cannot tell they are an it or a trans. I will continue to refer to a girl or woman as a she and a boy or a man as a he. They will refer to plural he’s, she’s or even trans. Anyone who tries to convince, bully, or shame me into the other is either a useful idiot or an agent of those who want to destroy the culture and society of the place in which I live.

Another church has burned to the ground in Europe only this time it was Amsterdam’s Vondelkerk church. It seems outside of the usual acts of nature type fires more and more churches have become the victims of arson. It is particularly interesting that in Amsterdam there purportedly was wide spread violence against the police and two dead from fireworks. Was the unrest a distraction when the church was the main target of political activists? This against the back drop of unruly North African gangs in Frankfurt, Germany and France causing mayhem and one begins to wonder if there is some sort of coordination behind these attacks?

My first perusal of the New Year included seeing that Zohran Mamdani took his oath of office over a Quran. Is it just me or does there seem to be a large portion of Muhammad worshipers who are socialists? I question whether they are truly socialists or are wrapping themselves in the flag of socialism when in fact they are truly Shariaists who will do whatever it takes to spread the caliphate in whatever form it is this century. Is socialism just convenient for these zealots because it always leads to the destruction of whatever society it is implemented in only this time Sharia will be the way that brings stability back. Either that or it will be Talmudic justice with a return of the Pharisees and Sadducees who want to limit the reach of the First Amendment and eliminate the anonymous use of the internet.

I remember that I am working to be a bit more positive and want to continue this into the New Year. I am grateful for family and the choice to browse anonymously on the internet if I choose. I am grateful for the founders of the united states of America and the wisdom and knowledge of human nature they had when they formed the Constitution and its Bill of Rights. Human technological prowess has expanded by nearly unfathomable amounts since the Constitution was written but human nature has not. It is the same, we are all fallen and we must guard ourselves at all time by those who seek to enslave and abuse us. I am grateful that the founders understood this and codified these rights for the first time, to my knowledge in human history.

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.
