I drove to the PO today to get the mail.

Some idiot asked me after looking at my truck with 7 antennas on it, “What have you done to protect your radios from an EMP?”

I said, ‘Are you high or something?’ Continue reading →

The very first amendment to the U.S. constitution deals with the sensitive subject of freedom of speech, and it is sacred to many people, who feel that the 1st amendment protects their religious, ethical and other freedoms. The right to have your own opinion and express it freely is something cherished by most Americans. Continue reading →

Americans are united on this: They are sick and tired of being so divided.

The divisive national debate over just about everything has convinced many that the country is heading in the wrong direction even as their own lives are going well, the inaugural Public Agenda/USA TODAY/Ipsos poll finds.

By overwhelming margins, those surveyed said national leaders, social media and the news media have exacerbated and exaggerated those divisions, sometimes for their own benefit and to the detriment of ordinary people. Continue reading →

…and no one speaks with anyone any longer!

“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the people’s money.” ~ Alexis de Tocqueville, French diplomat, scientist and historian (1805 – 1859)

The Congress discovered it could bribe the public at the beginning of the Great Depression, a devastating national calamity brought about by the Federal Reserve. On November 8, 2002, Ben Bernanke, at a speech given in honor of economist Milton Friedman’s 90th birthday and prior to Bernanke becoming the Federal Reserve Chair in 2006, admitted that “Regarding the Great Depression, …. We did it. We’re very sorry. We won’t do it again.” No, he wasn’t joking. Continue reading →

Higher Education has become a turkey…

Not all parents who pay college tuition are bourgeois — indeed some are as “woke” as their children. However, for those parents who cling to their antiquated bourgeois values and beliefs, Thanksgiving dinner this year may be more of a culture shock than in years past.

For many years now parents have put up with the Political Correctness, Identity Politics and Social Justice crusades of their college age children with what many now are coming to realize is the false hope that somehow a good “credential” — without a solid education undergirding it — will help their children get ahead in life.

In the view of this retired faculty member who actually received a genuinely excellent education in my youth [which is not available anywhere today], I encourage all parents to listen carefully to their returning college age children and ask themselves: Am I really helping my children by sending them to college or university?

The United States Republic has been under a sustained assault since 2016, by a Democratic Party, that has used every mechanism and maneuver possible to undermine President Trump’s administration; and it now self-describes itself as “the Resistance”, an incendiary title most usually ascribed to insurgents fighting an occupying military power and not a “Loyal Opposition”. Their worldview is so far removed from America’s Founding, so antithetical, that they now stand as the Enemy from Within, as they engage in a war to cripple a duly elected government by any means necessary, and this cannot be allowed, if this nation is to continue as a true Republic… Continue reading →

MEMORANDUM TO: STILLBORN ELECTED REPUBLICANS

FROM: TRUMP VOTERS

SUBJECT: GET SOME SPINE AND SUPPORT YOUR PRESIDENT

DATE: From November 2019 THRU November 2020

Below is displayed a human spine – otherwise known as a backbone. I explain what it is (though a child would recognize it) because you appear to have forgotten what it means to have a sufficient amount of backbone TO STAND UP AND PUBLICLY SUPPPORT OUR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT. On November 8, 2016, about 63 million Americans voted to elect Donald John Trump as President of the United States of America.

Hillary Clinton won 232 electoral votes and President Trump won 306. That’s called a political victory for Donald Trump. You remember the Electoral College, right? It’s that bothersome part of the Constitution that prevents New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Jersey and California from being able to ignore citizen opinions of the remaining states by preventing them from determining election results based only on popular vote. Populous states have numbers greater than ours but the Constitution protects the other 45 states from having the political views of a few forced upon them… thanks to the Electoral College.

“I have never in my life ‘loved’ any people or collective … I indeed love ‘only’ my friends and the only kind of love I know of and believe in is the love of persons.” ~ Hannah Arendt, German born Jewish thinker and a refugee to America, 1941

Americans are sleep walking towards the edge of their own destruction and do not seem to have a clue, or even really care, as they pop the top off another Coors or Coke, sing along with Ol’ Black Betty as they dance a jig at the local “knife and gun bar”, hit the Titans’ game on Sunday to sing along with the anthem and eat a Hershey bar afterwards, not realizing that it’s all about to come to an end. A few more years and a few million more Third Worlders and the damage is done, the Commie mission complete and thus starts the complete dismantling of what’s left of our supposed “capitalist free market” system and a sucking of wealth from the nation that will sound like a hundred thousand freight trains charging over Black Mountain and crashing and burning on the rocks below.

What fools we have running the nation. We haven’t had true capitalism in over a hundred years, and what everybody who has bought the flawed concept doesn’t understand is that the supposed “Great Economy” is a pure fabrication and manipulation that cannot and will not last, and it has been so constructed, that when it does implode upon itself, the results will be much more devastating than if the government and the Fed had kept their hands out of it.

But then again maybe I’m the fool. I do believe in a free market capitalist system 100%, and I also understand that the current over-regulated fascist system has picked winners and losers over the century and created a great deal of the current wealth inequality we now see. A correction must come about to close the gap between those who take the risks of starting businesses with their capital and those who provide the skills and labor to run those businesses. And with that said, I will also add there is nothing at all wrong with anyone making a fair profit from the sweat of their own brow, initiative and talent.

“We are living in a system of the banks, by the banks and for the banks, and that is the reality…” ~ G. Edward Griffin, author of ‘The Creature from Jekyll Island‘

“The Best Economy Evah” is the constant mantra we hear from the Trump economic experts and Larry Kudlow, President Trump’s Director of the National Economic Council, and yet, it is hard to ignore the warning signs that something isn’t quite right with this economy. Despite unemployment purportedly at an all-time low and the stock market riding high, the Federal Reserve Bank is still printing between $80 to $100 billion a day, after stating two months ago that this action was only going to be necessary for a few weeks, as they increase their own balance sheets by $200 billion since September, through Quantitative Easing on steroids, and more rapidly than they did at the height of the 2008 economic crisis when the amount of dollars in circulation doubled from $880 billion to $1.76 trillion.
