A week ago was Memorial Day. We celebrated and honored all those who gave their lives for our country. Rightfully so.

I said then that there has never been another country like America. That is so true. We admit we have shortcomings and we work on them. We are the most generous country ever. We consistently work at bettering ourselves and the world and we contribute to that ceaselessly.

In 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell, the United States became the only world power, the sole super power. With our allies we could have taken over the world. Without our allies we still could have done this.

But we didn’t.

  • Critical race theory
  • Open borders (that they repeatedly say are closed)
  • Government regulation based upon skin color/enforcement of the law based upon one’s politics and/or color
  • Redistribution of wealth/reparations
  • Trump supporters indiscriminately labeled as fascists and white supremacists
  • Social media censoring conservative voices
  • Mainstream media outright lying to their viewers and openly biased in their reporting
  • Police being the criminals and criminals set free with no penalties

Do you think those brave people who died for America in the past would recognize her now?

American flag

First, I salute and celebrate our soldiers, all our people in our Armed Forces. I honor them all and especially honor those who so unselfishly gave their lives.

This is unequivocal.

I do not apologize for America.

I am not ashamed of my country or what it stands for.

Despite its shortcomings, I am proud of my country. I am proud of what it does for the world. No other country does what it does, is as generous as it is.

Period.

To those of you who have forgotten this, don’t believe it or would tear America down, America allows you to leave any time you want. Don’t let the door hit you where The Good Lord split you.

We used to call them armchair liberals. They sat in their cozy arm chairs in their comfortable living rooms and made decisions that changed the lives of the everyday people but which didn’t affect them at all.

We used to think of them as a class as the Politburo in Russia, then the Soviet Union, those super-wealthy oligarchs who ran everything for their own benefit.

Nowadays, it isn’t them. It is the political class in Washington, that group of Senators and Congressmen who rule us. They don’t lead us anymore. They rule us. They are multimillionaires, most of them, much more than half of them. Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry are good examples. How did Maxine Waters afford a 5 million dollar house on her 175,000 dollar salary?

Nowadays they are the Hollywood elites, the broadcast media moguls and broadcasters and of course big tech people.

Nowadays they are professional athletes many of whom have gone from extreme poverty to mega-millions just for dunking a basketball. That’s quite a contrast to Ben Carson who did it because of good parenting, hard work, education, intelligence, talent and perseverance.

So when they, they being those above, tell us we need to have severe gun restrictions, they are surely not giving up their personal, armed bodyguards and secret service complement. While they keep our kids out of school, their kids are going to private school and in-person learning. When they tell us to conserve, note that Michael Bloomberg has taken more than 1700 trips in his private jets in the last four years gallivanting around to his multimillion dollar mansions throughout the world. And we all know that John Kerry just plain told us that he was more important than we are so he could fly on his personal plane.

We have to conserve to support their affluence, not for the reasons they tell us to.

So which shoes do you wear?

Are you one of those armchair liberals who can afford an electric car or the increased price of gas? Who Can pay out of pocket for medical and mental health services so as not to wait to be seen or have to worry about not getting seen when you really need to be seen? Who doesn’t have to worry about food prices, energy prices, inflation as a whole? Who touts all that liberal free stuff for the little people (like me) and for anyone and everyone the liberal Democrats want to let into the country and have the little people like me pay for? You one of those whose kids are in private school and not schooling with the illegals?

Now a little anecdote.

I’ve been mentioning I work in the mental health field in one of those liberal blue states. Our demand is up 150 percent from last year. Our resources have remained the same. If you need a therapist or medication management or a neuropsychological examination, right now there’s nothing available if you are on Medicaid or government sponsored insurance. A wait list could be eight months or more. Kids are waiting 50 days for a bed in an ER after having a mental health crisis and all the while suicide ideation and self harm are increasing dramatically.

Which shoes do you wear?

You one of those armchair liberals who marches into the office and pays with cash for immediate service? Or are you the mom who asks who is gonna help me after my kid kills himself because s/he couldn’t get seen in time?

Let’s get real.

The Big Democrat Lie pretty much speaks for itself. They move their lips, they lie. We would all know it if not for the biased media. And if you believe the mainstream media, you better start learning Chinese and behaving the way they want you to.

Don’t believe me? Just keep your head in the sand and keep sucking up their kool aid.

So it goes like this.

From energy independence under Trump we now are back to where we were, buying gas from Russia where the hackers who crippled the eastern seaboard fuel-wise reside.

Russia supports Iran who sends the rockets to Hamas who is bombing Israel, our ally.

Or we are supporting our enemies in attacking our allies.

Fuel shortage, runaway inflation highest gas prices since Obama and more and more illegals every day that our tax dollars are supporting when our own kids aren’t in school and those on regular health insurance, unlike our leaders, have to wait months and months for mental health services and to see a specialist.

The Big Democrat Lie pretty much speaks for itself. They move their lips, they lie. We would all know it if not for the biased media. And if you believe the mainstream media, you better start learning Chinese and to behave the way they want you to.

The Big Democrat Lie pretty much speaks for itself. They move their lips, they lie. We would all know it if not for the biased media. And if you believe the mainstream media, you better start learning Chinese and to behave the way they want you to.

Maybe that should be the new mantra.

But this isn’t about that, or it is only in part since actually it’s all part of the Big Democrat Lie.

For years and years I’d say something about the other side at this point to temper my point of view and accept the fact that both sides lie and are less interested in us than in their own individual reelections. But after the last four years and then the eight years of Obama it’s become clear that the two sides are really not the same anymore, not even close.

It used to be really kind of simple. Two piles of dog shit, choose the one whose stench offends you less.

Now, we are way beyond that. We are so far beyond that that the choice is clear and simple. Sleepy Joe and his laughing hyena president Kamala bolstered by the biased media and big tech business will do us in if you keep listening to Pravda USA, mainstream media. They don’t care about us. Worse, they don’t care about America. They are a ruling class pure and simple, a class of millionaires and billionaires marching us into The Hunger Games scenario. 

Don’t believe me? I don’t really care. I’m older so the effects on me are minimal, mostly financial because one of the big little lies that make up The Big Democrat Lie is that you won’t pay more in taxes.

Revoking the Trump tax cut costs every regular person like me about 2100 dollars a year. That sounds like more taxes to me.

Gas is up 60 cents a gallon. That’s 9 dollars a tank of 15 gallons. Home heating oil is up about 30 cents. Electricity is going up, and in case you didn’t hear the news a few days ago, Kimberly Clarke and Coke and a whole lot of others announced big price increases across the board.

But wait! Hunter Biden announced he’s writing a sequel to his autobiography. He got paid 2 million for the first one, and how many millions by China, Russia and Ukraine? I don’t think he’s worried about price increases. Or his dad, sleepy Joe who got a piece of everything everywhere. You know, the mafia don (or he would be if he were smart enough) who’s dipping his beak.

Maybe we should see Hunter’s life in pictures from his PC that the FBI wouldn’t take when they raided Rudy Giuliani’s apartment for electronics.

Well, it is what it is.

They used to call things unintended consequences. I don’t think that’s correct anymore. I think the consequences, the effects, are purposeful.

Joe boy won’t do anything about China. He won’t do anything about Russia. I doubt he could have taken Trump behind the bleachers and I’m sure he can’t stand up to Chi or Valdi. He can’t walk up his airplane stairs.

That said, really they are all paying him and his family off in the biggest, baddest pay-for-play back-to-usual-politics ever. Did you hear that the AFT who gave 9 million dollars to the Dems had a good say in the CDC school guidelines? But that can’t be right since the Dems go by science. Or not. Or just the science written, like their history, the way they want it written and then broadcast by their cronies the way they want it broadcast.

Effects. They’re coming.  Don’t believe me? Just keep your head in the sand and keep sucking up their kool aid.

A bit ago in mentioning that I work in the Mental Health field, as an update, I said the need for mental health services in our department was up 140% over the same quarter last year, and that will be even higher in this next quarter which is happening now. Last month we were up more than 150% and resources are more and more scarce. I said and repeat that kiddos with mental health needs are an underrepresented, underfunded and under-serviced part of our population. They should be given the entitlements, funding and resources going to illegal aliens, no doubt about it.

It’s all askew.

So just a couple of things to put out there. It seems almost futile these days, but then they’d have their way with one less voice of resistance. Only way to beat the bullies is to fight back.

Cuomo, that piece of work, well those wonderful for-the-people Democrats, especially sleepy Joe-boy who isn’t running things, promoted him to the leader of the governors’ conference on Covid.

Say what? They gave a leadership role to the one who is accused of sexual harassment by 8 women and get this who lied about and covered up the number of Covid deaths in nursing homes.

Yup, those Democrats ruling us, not leading us, really care about women and their right to be unmolested, and they really care about the truth regarding Covid deaths in New York or anywhere.

Ralph Northam and his Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax are still there, still in office. You don’t hear about them. Actually you don’t hear about Cuomo either. Why are they still there? Why is there no report on what really happened, one way or another?

Yup, those Democrats ruling us, not leading us, really care about women and their right to be unmolested, and they really care about racism and Democrat leaders acting in ways that could be construed (and that is putting it so nicely) as racist. Yup they really care about the African-American population, don’t they? And they really care about women too.

Lions and tigers and bears oh my!

Hunter Biden is going to speak at Tulane as an expert on media bias. Poor boy is the victim here.

If this last one doesn’t just say it all, I don’t know what does.

It’s all askew.

And so it goes people. It goes until it doesn’t go anymore, and when it doesn’t go anymore, don’t say you weren’t forewarned that all is askew.

We’ll add more to the Big Democrat Lie at another time. Pretty much it speaks for itself. They move their lips, they’re lying. Lawyers all!

Meanwhile a few things to say.

A bit ago I mentioned that I work in the Mental Health field. Just so you know, need for mental health services in our department was up 140% over the same quarter last year, and that will be even higher in this next quarter which is happening now. Kiddos with mental health needs are an underrepresented, underfunded and under-serviced part of our population. They should be given the entitlements going to illegal aliens, no doubt about it. But the kiddos with mental health needs are mostly hidden, unable to advocate for themselves and not part of a politically advantageous talking point for those in power. So they get what they get, which is much less than what they need if anything at all.

It’s all askew.

About division and stoking racial divide, Biden and whoever is in charge over there talk one game and act another. They talk of unity but act of disunity. It’s on purpose. It’s not an accident.

Their words and their actions are all askew.

We live in a time when media and media related corporations are pretty much one in the same and are running our country. If truth is ever told we will learn that they effected the last election, that consequently our election was neither free nor fair. Will we ever hear the truth? Will history ever depict what the truth is?

I know. All you CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC and even NPR listeners will pooh pooh that statement. That’s because you aren’t hearing the truth. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn you actually don’t care about the truth.

It gets much worse. Those big corporations of old that were once reviled as capitalist devils produced things, made products like cars and washing machines and steel. These relatively new media corporations produce nothing, are much more powerful, much more rich and more concentrated into the hands of a few mega-billionaires whose personal business interests run throughout the world. They are more monopolistic and more powerful than corporations of old. Worse, they have no concern for their effects on America. The world is their stage and they could care less if America goes down. In fact, they are purposefully taking it down.

It’s all askew.

Finally, about the free press.

Once the free press is not free, once it is biased and cares more about an agenda than the truth, we as a free nation are in great peril.

Our media and press stopped being honest and fair to promote the election of Barack Obama. They did not vet him,  did not report about his friends, cronies and ideological leaders. In fact they hid that from the American people.

Through the entire Trump presidency the mainstream media spewed the false narrative of the Russian hoax and failed to report accurately and/or honestly about that which President Trump did. That’s a fact, though those of you listening to the lie won’t believe it.

Incredible. Just incredible. If this were done in Russia, we would easily call it propaganda and say how horrible it is.

Once the media has an agenda and its agenda coincides wholly with one political party, we are in danger as a nation. When their agenda is not about telling the truth in America but about bolstering and supporting one political party and destroying the other, we the people are destined to lose our freedom.

Once that media openly censors some voices (almost exclusively conservative voices) and some news and then lies about incidents by presenting false facts, from there every poll, every opinion, every point of view based upon only their input is skewed.

Yes, it is all askew.

The first thing a dictator does is take control of the media. Once the Democrats controlled the mainstream media we were doomed.

All is askew.

Gun control, climate change and the Green New Deal are all rooted in and part of the Democratic lie. The Democrats use them as they see fit, apply their use for political gain and force us to believe that which is not true and not real.

More sensible to all of this would be to understand and accept that the “all or nothing” argument is fallacious.

We are in the midst of the Great Democrat Lie. It’s never been more bold, never been more brazen, never been more destructive to the United States or more dismissive of half of the voting population. Joe Biden, master of the pinocchios, said he had the support of a majority of Republican voters supporting him. The latest polls say it is about 10%. Just a little lie.

On and on…

But I’m happy. At least Obama at least in one instance didn’t lie. No! Worse! He told the truth. He said he would fundamentally change America. And he did just that. Kudos to him.

What you see with Joe Biden, The Great Democrat Lie, is what we got.

I see some of my friends and relatives, real Trump haters, celebrating with glee having received their second vaccination (for Covid). Being vaccinated is a matter of personal choice. I personally think it is a good thing, but like other issues, I don’t press my beliefs on others.

Yes. I research them. I study some of them. I state them. I don’t reprint on social media idiotic statements that bear no connection to any sense of truth just because they support my ego or verify my sense of self or my feelings at any given time.

I differentiate my beliefs and opinions from fact. And unlike what the woke people do so readily, I don’t say that my feelings are facts and ask people to accept my feelings as such.

These days I rarely carry cash, any cash whatsoever. So if I want a coffee and don’t want to charge it, I may feel poor for not having money in my pocket to pay for a coffee. My feeling poor, does not mean in effect that I am poor. Were that the case on April 15th I would tell the government I feel poor, therefore I am poor by your own standards, and so I won’t pay any taxes. (So you know, their own standards say that if a boy identifies as a girl on any given day and sees the doctor, the doctor must treat them by their identification.)

Okay. These days we could on like this forever. The hypocrisy is more obvious and certainly more rampant than ever before.

So I just want to say a couple of things to all you Trump-haters I know who have celebrated or are celebrating your vaccination on social media. First, if it weren’t for President Trump, you wouldn’t have a vaccine yet. Remember candidates Biden and Harris saying they wouldn’t trust the vaccine developed under Trump? Gee, now they want to take credit for solving the problem.

Yes, people, it was Trump’s initiative and foresight that developed the vaccine, your vaccination, (a feat which medical scientists equate to making the trip to the moon that Kennedy initiated in less than one year as opposed to the decade it actually took). Hate Trump as you will, still, no matter what you do, you’ll never delete him. You’ll never diminish that which he was so right about. Your vitriol will only make it more manifest.

Say thank you to President Trump for your vaccination and your safety. The Democrats could never have done it in the time Trump did.

So you know I usually kid about the sun when I post my link to this blog on Facebook. Generally I say: While you can look to the sun/Fun with words and words for fun.

Sometimes I say: Before they tax it, look to the sun/Fun with words and words for fun. Or: While they let you look to the sun/Fun with words…

And sometimes I say: Look to the sun while you can, you don’t know how long they’ll let you.

It was all in good fun. It had its point, but it was mostly in jest.

But

Ever heard of sun dimming technology? Well it is part of solar engineering and it is being lauded by none other than that technology guru, maker of crappy software, Bill Gates. Mr. Microsoft himself.

The proposal is to launch a cloud around the sun to partially block it from coming to the earth. Its purpose is to ease global warming and reduce our impact on the planet.

It is real. It is being discussed and proposed and considered.

Here goes the sun.
