Random Musings on Epstein and Diddy 7.11.25

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.

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.

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.

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.

California Musings 6.13.25

I have been watching and reading coverage of the Los Angeles riots all week and there is no doubt that these were riots. There was violence towards people, in this case federal agents, and property as shown by the looting and the destruction of vehicles etc. These were not peaceful protests that were limited to a small area, as claimed by the Democratic/Socialist mayor of Los Angeles. They spread to other places in the Southland, Santa Anna for example, and around the country and were no doubt well organized as a response to joint federal agency enforcement raids. What disturbs me is what happened or did not happen in the following days.

The first disturbing thing that happened was the lack of response by California officialdom in the immediate aftermath throughout last weekend. Was it because Governor Newsom had dinner dates at the French Laundry with his mates and or was he too busy fishing somewhere in a shutdown portion of the Sacramento river for salmon that is not allowed to be fished? Was Mayor Bass off at another leftist’s inauguration while the city she is mayor of burned? I do not know but they appeared to absent while the LAPD police chief was overwhelmed. One thing for certain is that none of California’s elected officials have control of the streets in Los Angeles.

This leads to my next disturbing thought and that is if the political leaders are so tied up in their own incompetence, corruption and or ideology and to not have control of the streets in Los Angeles who does have control of the streets? What disturbed me is all of the Mexican flags being flown by the rioters in a US city. I find it coincidental that many of the rioters appear to be illegal aliens from Mexico kept these riots going after what I consider to be inciteful rhetoric was posted by the Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum who is whining about the possibility of remittances to Mexico being taxed while obvious criminal illegal aliens are being deported from the US. Once again, I have to ask myself who really controls the streets of Los Angeles and for that matter the state of California because it certainly does not seem to be the politicians. The politicians seem incapable of making their own talking points until they have been vetted by the national democratic socialist politburo who obviously takes weekends off and then takes at least 24 hours into the work week to dust off their weekend hangovers.

Now I move on to the fact that this part of the United States was part of Mexico at one time and it seems there are many who think it should still be part of Mexico. In fact, there was one Mexican Senator who was openly calling for and reminding Mexico that California was once part of Mexico and that it should still be part of Mexico. I also found it interesting that Claudia Sheinbaum, is now excusing and openly supporting the illegal immigrants, many of whom have drug cartel affiliations, in the United States in addition to opposing the tax on remittances in President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. It makes me wonder if President Sheinbaum concerned about the immigrants or more concerned about the money that they send back across the border and just how affiliated with cartel(s) is President Sheinbaum? I say this as reports have come back that many arrested in the raid that set off the riots are out right criminals. It would be really interesting to track and learn about any gang or cartel affiliations that they might have.

As I have been writing this piece over a couple of days, due to an extremely demanding schedule that has kept me busy on my real job, I have another thought creeping into my head. This is regarding the most recent flare up between Iran and Israel now moving to the front of the media cycle. I imagine the media has seen an increase in viewership over the week because of Los Angeles riots. Now they will probably move on because the powers to be really do not want any change in California and her policies. Even a Walton heiress is funding the riots, evidently, after all. There is just way too much money being made and the California Senators, Representatives, Governor, and other elites want their cheap labor. Perhaps this is really what it is all about. Even the cartels are top heavy with the leadership making an oversized proportion of wealth while the vast majority receive near poverty wages. Near poverty wages, which makes it easier to pay the rioters to cause insurrections whenever the elite’s way of life and standard of living is being threatened. A standard that allows for very little to no middle class.

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

Random Musings on Current Events 6.13.25

I will not speak to the Los Angeles riots as I have already commented on these in another post. However, I do have one question and that is what is happening with the residents and rebuilding of Pacific Palisades? It seems the news cycle is moving on and never comes back and I am afraid the same will happen again after the most recent riots.

Israel is attacking Iran and now everyone is on the alert in Israel and elsewhere for counterattacks. Geez, as I have mentioned in my other post, what timing. Perhaps this is being timed to coincide with the Flag Day, US Army birthday, and coincidentally Donald Trump’s birthday?

I am certainly sensing an overall unease reading the reports, learning about the planned protests this weekend ostensibly labeled the “No Kings” protests in opposition of President Trump. Interestingly enough there will be many rallies in support of the US Army’s 250^th birthday this month as well. Let us pray that there is no violence from either group and that they remain peaceful. One thing I learned is there is a line and when violence against property or people happen at any gathering it can be labeled a riot.

It sure seems obvious to me that the leadership of California and other Democrats around the country are taking their speaking cues from someone behind the scenes who is coordinating the points. Certainly there is nothing new here but it seems to be the same group or person doing the coordination as was before the election. They obviously have learned nothing and are continuing down the same path as before. They are either so myopic that they cannot see the error of their ways or, more nefariously, they are completely aware of it and are so rabid in the belief of the cause they are representing that they cannot change their ways. If the latter is true, they are, no doubt to me, fomenting an insurrection.

I noticed that a $100 million lawsuit has been filed by five J6ers against the Department of Justice. I do not know the specifics but I know it is around the events of January 6, 2021. I certainly understand that Pam Bondi is not the person responsible for what happened to these folks. However, I would hope that the institution takes note of this lawsuit as a learning experience, and if warranted, use the lessons learned to further purge the DOJ of folks who participated in the politically motivated prosecutions of those involved in the J6 protest which, by the way, was far more peaceful than what has and continues to be unfolding in Los Angeles.

Speaking of J6 I cannot believe the Democrat machine and media are still saying five people died during the J6 protests and small riot. They make it sound like they were violent deaths when four of the five were due to natural causes and only one death was a violent death. They also seem to never mention that the one death was caused by a Capitol Police officer shooting an unarmed woman to death.

Happy Birthday to the US Army on its 250^th birthday tomorrow.

And the beat goes on.

Random Musings on Current Events 6.6.2025

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

The Donald Trump and Elon Musk bromance seems to be over. Geez, I have to wonder if there really ever was one and do I really care? The press sure seems to be making a big deal over it and so, therefore, there probably is nothing much to be made of it. So, I will just leave it at that.

Now what really is a big deal to me is the apparent use of the “auto-pen” during the Joe Biden presidency. I have to question whether or not Joe Biden was mentally fit and if not, who was really signing official presidential orders? To me this is a far more serious matter than Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s relationship.

It appears that Chuck Schumer is going the way of Joe Biden in that what he saying in public makes little sense and is not grounded in reality. Although, I will admit that Senator Schumer is different in that he prone to hyperbole as evidenced that his favorite saying is that everything that Donald Trump says or supports is going to cause everyone to die. OK, that last sentence might have been a bit hyperbolic but I hope anyone who reads this gets the gist.

I read something that California cattle ranchers are now having to deal with cattle deaths due to wolves making a come back and really can do nothing about it because of laws that prevent the hunting or shooting of wolves. Although if one thinks about it if they are allowed to hunt the wolves it probably would not really matter. I say this because in California the ranchers are probably not allowed to carry firearms on their own ranches in their own vehicles. If they are allowed to carry a firearm, they would have to probably transport the weapon in the engine compartment and the ammunition in the trunk with the weapons broken down. Additionally, if the ranchers were allowed a weapon, it probably only could be a bolt action rifle modified to only accept one round at a time that has to be manually fed.

I will admit that I just went a little bit hyperbolic in the previous paragraph and if you see sarcasm dripping from my example it is because there is sarcasm dripping. I will admit that I do not know the exact laws regarding firearms in California but I do know that it is nearly impossible for one to carry a sidearm in the state. I have to wonder what one is to do if they encounter a wolf pack while out in some of California’s back country? One certainly cannot open carry in California, it is next to impossible to obtain a concealed carry permit in California as a resident let alone a nonresident, and let’s say we could, then there are magazine restrictions that are only applicable in California. I tell you what makes more sense, for starters, is to implement a nationwide concealed and open carry law and strike down California’s magazine size laws. Sure one could say that the country would become like the Wild West but isn’t it already with lawlessness in the big Democratic Party run cities? Isn’t it time that the average citizen be empowered to protect themselves once again and to take personal responsibility for their wellbeing and not some overstuffed, self-aggrandizing pompous, power hungry bureaucrat in some state capitol or our nation’s capital?

I want to take a moment to acknowledge the sacrifice and honor of the fallen and those who participated in the invasion of Normandy, France eighty one years ago today and, for that matter, all of World War 2. Let us not forget the Greatest Generation and their sacrifices and grit to keep the world free for at least another couple of generations.

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

Random Musings on Current Events 5.30.25

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

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

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

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

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

Random Musings on Current Events 5.16.2025

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

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

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

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

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

Best of luck to interim US Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

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

Random Musings on Current Events 5.2.2025

I had to laugh when I saw a headline about Trump having the all-time lowest first 100 day approval rating, or something to that effect. It caught my eye because this has not been my experience and after the blathering about Trump and how unpopular he is along with some other nonsense I got to what I was looking for. The poll was sponsored by ABC News, The Washington Post, and Ipsos. At that point I yawned and realized the piece was nothing more than leftist globalist propaganda.

It seems the evidence is growing that the collision between the US Army Blackhawk helicopter and the commuter plane over the Potomac River several months ago was the result of the helicopter’s pilot error. I just have to wonder what was going on in her mind and in the cockpit which we will never truly know. May everyone’s souls who perished in that disaster rest in peace.

Oh my goodness Bezinga and Yahoo reported that the International Monetary Fund and the US Bureau of Economic Analysis are saying that California now has the 4^th largest economy in the world!!! Of course, California governor Newsom made sure to announce this and I am quite certain that he is taking credit for this. Yet again, however, I have to question the source and means by which this metric was derived? I question this because though California may have the fourth largest economy in the world how come it has a large homeless problem? Why is there great economic disparity between the haves and the have nots? Why is industry leaving the state and yet it still goes up in terms of its economic size? How can it have a large economy when it cannot even manage its electrical infrastructure grid and the forests that surround it? Why can’t this state complete infrastructure programs on time and on budget. No, this article did not pass the smell test and is yet another article reeking of propaganda from a state full of corruption.

The jobs report came out and beat expectations despite the shrinking of government jobs. It seems that around 90% of the jobs created came out of the private sector, which to me is good news. Now, let’s cut the corruption in California as well and see what really happens with its economy and allow its middle class to flourish instead of its continual decline into a petty third world oligarchy.

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