Random Musings on Current Events 12.5.25

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.

I had a conversation this morning with someone and in the course of the conversation we discussed all the noise in the course of daily discourse in the media. So many agendas ranging from true believers of whatever position they take all the way to the grifters who are merely trying to increase the number of clicks on their websites, blogs etc. in order to sell advertising. The person I spoke with mentioned that they now sometimes have throttled themselves back to looking at the news only two times a week. Though I tend to look at the news a bit more frequently I understand their sentiment and, for me, the challenge is finding relatively independent sources or more importantly understanding what the sites editorial leanings are so that I at least understand what their motives might be.

I think it is pretty obvious what my beliefs are, especially considering that I have not monetized my ramblings and rants and considering that I have labeled myself The Conservative Constitutionalist bearing in mind the classical meaning of the word conservative. 

I find myself feeling a bit sanguine in response to Senators Kelly, Slotkin, and Warner calling out Defense Secretary Hegseth and the military for the shooting of purported drug boats in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. However, it is not because I support what they are doing but rather because they are showing their cards in what is perhaps one of the highest stakes card games that has been played in the United States in quite a long time. It is now quite obvious that these senators are merely doing the bidding of and quite possibly be high ranking players in the deep state/shadow/international rules based government in the united states of America.

Speaking of international rules based governing I see that the UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labor Party is going to delay elections in four mayoralties due to local councils needing more time reorganize or whatever poppycock London is trying to feed their populace. I find it interesting that this is the second time the elections have been delayed, Nigel Farage’s reform party is on the rise, and the UK is considering the removal of trial by jury in what are deemed non serious crimes. So many questions and thoughts come to mind as the pattern becomes clearer and clearer that Britain’s Labor Party is getting nervous as their popular support dims their grip becomes more authoritarian. Not too unlike Senator’s Kelly, Slotkin, and Warner and other deep state actors in the United States.

I thought about making some further on California Governor Newsom and, in particular, the Service Employee International Union’s (SEIU) bill to retroactively tax billionaires in California. This is not a traditional rules based approach to government but is, in reality, a communist move and is based purely on subjective criteria. I can only hope that other Americans will see this for what it is considering the SEIU was huge contributor to Barack Hussein Obama. Obama the political organizer with no business experience and whose only executive qualifications were, wait, he had none. His main qualifications were he was a smooth talker and kept to the points that his handlers told him to stick to much as Joe Biden did until he did not and who subsequently lost his nomination for reelection to the presidency. In other words his handlers quit covering for his cognitive and physical decline.

Does anyone find it interesting the biggest warmongers at the moment are from Europe, especially when it comes to the Ukraine? Personally, I think the entire world should take notice that it is the drumbeat is coming from the same countries that provided World War 1 and 2. I would especially pay attention to those in the United States who beat the same drum because, quite frankly, I am starting to question where their loyalties lay? I am sorry Senators Kelly, Slotkin, Warner and others in your camp but I pray that your free lunches will come to an end. Though I have no proof, as I should not, but I would imagine the Department of War knows exactly where the cargo on these boats that are being shot out of the water came from. My goodness, the US has had the technology for decades to be able to see with extreme accuracy what is on the ground using satellites, surveillance air craft and now drones and you expect me to believe your drivel and hot air pontifications? No, in this particular instance I have to side with President Trump, his use of war fighters against the organized pseudo state cartel actors and that these Narcos are indeed waging war on the US Homeland. Now, the question becomes how do we reduce the demand for these illicit substances that have no value whatsoever to the American people?

On the bright side I am encouraged that President Trump and his administration are maintaining the course with regards to his “Cartel War”. It is long overdue and it truly is a war and not merely a law enforcement action. The cartels have become so sophisticated as to have highly trained quasi military organizations with staffs and paramilitary units that I am sure have been trained, in part, by US intelligence operatives or agents. One only has to research the history and killing of US DEA Special Agent Kiki Camarena to understand how long this has been going on.

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 7.25.2025

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

Oh my goodness the House of Representatives has adjourned for their summer break early. I have not taken the time to investigate what the purported reason is that Speaker Johnson pushed for this early break. I wonder if he used the excuse that the House has worked hard to get the BBB passed and that they deserved the break or for whatever other reason that was given. What I really have to wonder is it because the Epstein scandal is not going away? The reason that I am questioning this is Speaker Johnson made a point to say that there would be no vote on the Jeffrey Epstein documents before the recess. A recess which, by the way, will be many weeks if not a couple of months. Geez, I wonder what other events will spring up around the world in the meantime to distract the populace in an effort to help them forget about the Epstein scandal?

Continuing along with the Epstein scandal/fiasco or whatever else one wants to call it I must say that I do not believe that Donald Trump participated in the pedophilia for a New York second. Did Jeffrey Epstein and DJT’s paths cross, absolutely and it is well documented that their paths cross. Quite honestly, how could their paths not have crossed considering that they were both doing business in New York City at the same time? So, to me, this really is not a point worth spending any time on. What bothers me is the timing and the way it is being handled. Timing that the memo was released immediately after the BBB was passed, Congress being recessed early, and suddenly, perhaps because of the unanticipated blow back, a top tier DOJ official is interviewing Ms. Maxwell. Something is not right and it makes me wonder just how many in Congress are compromised, what sort of back room deals did DJT have to make, and who was running and is protecting Ms. Maxwell? Remember, there can be no compromise when it comes to our children. They are the most precious resource that a family, community, state and country has.

Speaking of distractions and, quite honestly, it is good to see that DNI Gabbard is setting the record straight on the Obama administration’s heads of Intelligence. Quite honestly, however, this is nothing new to me as it was painfully obvious to anyone with half a brain that something like this happened. Especially to those who, thank goodness, were in the Intelligence business and had the courage and where with all to share their observations with those of us who have never been privy to the sorts of machinations that could and often do go on within these organizations. However, do I believe anyone will be held accountable for this at the higher levels? No, I do not. My guess is that some mid to lower level employee will be charged, in the best possible scenario, while a bunch of money will be spent on special councils, Congressional investigations and the media will have a frenzy to feed off of while this all goes down while the hope of official Washington is the Epstein travesty of child rape and trafficking will fade away into the background with really no one of import being held accountable in either case. In other words, it will just be business as usual in D.C.

Will someone find something to charge Adam Schiff with treason, conspiracy, or whatever else he is guilty of? He is no peddling that DJT was involved with Jeffrey Epstein. Excuse me Senator when you were investigating DJT and the Russian collusion b.s. you claimed knowledge of all the intelligence. If you did then you must have known about what the Obama administration did to suppress the real intelligence and redirect it to subvert the first DJT administration. Does that not make you an accessory to the treasonous acts committed? Perhaps you should pay more attention to the gross ineptitude and corruption in California, the state you represent, but then again you were elected Senator in this corruption so I suppose that makes you part of it.

Speaking of California, I am not going to get into specifics but as the weeks click by since the Palisades  and Alta Dena Fires, we are learning of how few building permits have been issued while there is a push for “affordable housing” to be built in the fire affected zones. Let me see, Maui, Hawaii, Democrat controlled, California, Democrat controlled. It truly does appear that there is a land grab underway as powerful interests aligned with the Democrats are jockeying to step in and use the land whose current owners can either no longer afford to wait out the local and state officials in these jurisdictions. It looks more a more like a travesty and abuse of power.

Another item that I did not write about and that certainly caught my attention was that the Roman Catholic Bishop of the diocese of San Bernardino issued a decree a couple of weeks ago that members would not be required to attend Sunday Mass or any other holy days of obligation. This is because there is a “genuine fear” of immigration raids and deportations. Here we go, just another battle in the centuries old war between English and Spain that reaches back to Elizabethan times. The more objective application of English law versus the more subjective application of Spanish Law. The war battle between each county’s offspring, the United States of America and The United States of Mexico. I will take the bishop’s actions as an indicator of who his biggest donors or benefactor(s) are or is. They are either businesses in the United States who rely on the illegal immigrant labor, smuggling cartels and or a combination of both. They certainly are not American who value the rule of law and the Constitution of the United States of America.  

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.

Special Edition Random Musings on Current Events 6.22.2025

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

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.

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.

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 2.22.25

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 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.

Is there anyone else who is laughing at the leftist Democrat response to what Donald Trump and his team are doing?  I certainly am.

Speaking of another point of laughter, concern, or perhaps just observing the light get shed upon a corrupt government I was amused to see that the Mexican President, Claudia Shinbaum, is moving to protect the drug cartels by changing her country’s constitution. I have long postulated that there is no way anyone can become the President of Mexico without support of at least one of the drug cartels. I believe her actions in light of the US Government designating several of the Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations is definitive proof now. It is obvious that the government of Mexico has no interest in seeing the end of these criminal cartels that run drugs and people that enrich so few Mexicans while keeping its middle class very small and the majority of its citizens living in near poverty conditions.

Congratulations too by the way to Kash Patel receiving the confirmation to be the head of the FBI.

I have to admit that there is a part of me that is waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop. I do not trust the CIA, FBI, other deep state actors and the globalists to remain quiet through all of the cuts and exposure by DOGE.

Seeing the news of Los Angeles mayor, Karen Bass, deflecting and placing the blame of the devastating fires on others just reaffirms my conclusion that California is a failed state. I, for one, am hoping that the Feds put strings on all aid to California and not just for the fire response. Personally, all federal payments to California and how the money is spent should be DOGE’d and or audited. There is no way the current group of incompetent, corrupt hacks could maintain their power in the golden state without the federal funds that are continually being used to prop up its finances.

Speaking of California I took a drive in the last couple of weeks and entered the state from one of its neighboring states on a smaller state highway. Transitioning on the highway from its neighboring state to California the general condition of the highway became much worse that in California’s neighboring state? Why is this I have to ask myself considering I have now entered the state from three different states and traveled several of its more remote state highways. All of these highways are in a general state of decline and the lack of maintenance is evident. While I am at it where did the $7 billion dollars approved in a 2014 proposition to expand water storage go? Perhaps it went to the same place funds to maintain California state highways went?

I am watching about the actions of DOGE and the loss of funding going to USAID and others and I have to wonder how many NGOs and non profits will remain after the cutting is finished? One thought that crossed my mind is I wonder how much this spending has contributed to inflation? All of these government dollars chasing the same goods and services that I have to buy and without this government backing I wonder what it will be like with fewer government dollars chasing these goods and services?

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.
