For Kiddo.
In January I began talking about angels and God. It seems I’ve found a guardian angel who is meant to be a soulmate. It is a light in my life, a spirit that appeared out of nowhere and has now encompassed my being.
Rarely in life, at least in my life, has such a thing occured. Maybe it does occur in other people’s lives more often. In some people’s lives perhaps it occurs and they don’t recognize it or they choose to deny God exists. Without God in our lives there is no guidance for absolute principles.
Some people become monsters. Some people use an aberration of the sense of God to become terrible monsters. We all know and recognize the monsters who have existed. They are clear to see. And we can easily recognize those who pervert the meaning of God and His principles for their own power and the perscution of others.
There are those who use language and faulty logic to make some people who are not monsters appear as if they are evil, as evil as the monsters we recognize. Generally it is the all or nothing argument, an inhererntly faulty argument, that they use.
And so it goes. And so we must remember that the people who are our leaders are merely people, people like us, people like everyday all of us. Some have pursued leadership as a career as a way to live off the backs of the people they represent and to enricch themselves and their families from the public’s coffers. Some pursue leadership because they are leaders. They lead for their terms and they go back to their private lives.
But they are all people like us, like everyday us. And if we are lucky, sometimes one of everyday us finds a guardian angel/soulmate.
They say the leopard does not change its spots. We as a species, homo sapiens, a subspecies of the genus homo, do not change our spots either.
We are the only species that kills for sport. We are the only species that hates others of the same species because of differences in color or beliefs.
We rule the planet earth only because of 2 things: opposable thumbs and the ability to reason. Our reasoning cababilities certainly need some scrutinization when we come up with things such as “I’d reather be dead than red” or “I’d rather destroy the United States to implement [what is a flawed] ideology,” or even more genius beauties like “defund the police” and “cashless bail.”
We are a month into this new year, one-twelfth. Our government is shut down at least for the weekend. The Democrats, only because they control the media, manage to press for the most ridiculous policies, policies which defy logic, even sensibility. They operate in hyperbole and in the flawed rhetorical pattern of “all or nothing.”
Apparently, we will not change our spots.
We live in a wild time. I’m beginning to think we’ve always lived in a wild time: the wild, wild west, Chicago during Prohibition, all the wars throughout time, today’s mass shootings and terrorist attacks.
We are a hateful people as a race. We are selfish, coveting, mean-spirited. Man, by nature, is selfish and greedy.
In Philosophy 101, the simplest, most basic philosophy course, they teach that we are supposed to temper such behaviors with our rationality. Of course we don’t.
So here we are. 2025 is about to turn to 2026. The Bible, regardless of what form of it one beleives in, has been chucked out the window by many of us. Others pervert its content to mean what they choose it to mean. Yet others, suffering from their own arrogance, wage war on those who do not beleive as they do. And still others, suffering not only from their own arrogance but from hubris as well, have scuttled the most fundamental principles of logic, history and research to present the rest of us with dishonestly created would-be facts to support premises they know from inception are untrue and unsupportable.
Is there hope? I don’t know. But if there is hope, it lies in charity, in the belief that if we all do good, good will happen. Hope for us also resides in simple memory and honestly-drwan contexts.
My father was a prisoner of war (a POW) in Nazi Germany for three and one-half years during WWII. Those who call our President a Nazi, have no idea what a real Nazi is, or if they do, they choose to define Nazi to fit their own selfish interests.
Some of those of us fortunate enough to have been born in the USA, perhaps the greatest county of all time, have forgotten why America is the greatest of all countries, or if they haven’t forgotten why, their own personal dishonesty and self-interests cause them to represent the USA as no different from the totalitarian countires and forces that would terminate its very existence and force its people into subjugation.
As one year ends, marking now a quarter of the century gone by, and a new year begins, let us think of doing good, of being charitable, of being honest and believing in univeral truths greater than our personal self interests. Such simple thoughts and actions will lead us to what constitutes hope for all of us.
I fear that if MLK Jr. were alive today…
Well, let’s first say that he must be flipping in his grave to see what has become of the legacy he personally created.
I believe he would be asking “his people” if Al Sharpton was the best person they could find to lead them.
I believe he would be asking Jessie Jackson whatever happened to him.
I believe he would be asking Barack Obama if that was the best he could have done. I believe he would be imploring Obama to find a new path that would less serve his own interests and more serve his people’s interests.
So here we are on his day. And they, the lefties, will pay extravagant but fake, yes phony, homage to him as if they believe what they are saying, which clearly their actions show they don’t, while they continue to rape the very people they portend to support and champion.
And so it goes.

I saw an ad this morning for an on-line degree. It said no tests, no homework, life experience credited.
It meant, pretty much minimal effort, minimal work. And that means, most surely, minimal learning.
From way back when they’ve dumbed-down schooling, from public school though college and even through some grad schools.
Pay the money, get the letters next to your name.
Voila.
They are betting that in today’s world if you do it their way, you will vote for Joe Biden and people like him.
They are betting that when you see buildings burning and police precincts and vehicles overturned and destroyed, you will believe them when they tell you it is not violence.
They are betting that when you see what happened January 6th you will believe them that it was an armed insurrection when only one weapon, a sidearm, was found and when one unarmed female veteran was shot by them in cold blood.
They are betting you will believe them when they tell you that America’s greatest threat is right-wing domestic terrorism.
They are betting you are stupid enough to believe what they tell you over what your eyes see.
And so it goes.

You know, sometimes.
Sometimes we just get a good look at what we are.
In these last six years now, if one bothers to take the time to see what our leaders have done, it is absolutely flabbergasting. And it ain’t pretty.
And so it goes? No, it shouldn’t. It shouldn’t go this way at all.
I could lay it all out again, but why? Half will believe one way, half another, and the lefty half will do what one of my cousins did publicly on facebook, call me dangerous and make a big to-do out of de-friending me there for all her friends to see.
Whatever gets you through the night. The social pressure for her must have been great.
What we are, take a look.
So I could write a rant. Why bother?
Still, two notations here.
First, the righties say the Biden progressive left have done more in a year to destroy America and democracy than anyone since the 1930s. They wonder if America can survive this attack, if our democracy can survive it.
Next, the lefties say if we allow the right and Trump to regain power it will destroy our democracy and freedom.
This is what they say and all they say.
I say, are you free now? Can you voice a right-wing point of view without being called a racist (and more) and having to fear for your job, your home, your life, your business?
Is any of this what we elected any of our politicians to do?

So it’s a new year. I don’t put much in new years and here in my family we don’t’ do anything for New Year’s eve. But here we are. It doesn’t feel much different from last year. Covid is still here and currently raging. Our leaders on the left are still as stupid and dishonest as they were last year, maybe more so. We are still not getting the truth about Covid. We are still in the downward spiral, ever surrounded by those “leading” us by force of power rather than by wisdom, logic and concern for our well being.
And so it goes.
Still , happy new year to you all. I truly hope that the turn of the year and the upcoming days bring you happiness, fulfillment and peace.
Once again, here, new things to come and new things to explore.

Only about half of the country pays any taxes at all.
I was told once and really like the idea: always make the least negative assumption.
With that in mind, a good portion of the half of the country that don’t pay any taxes are really poor and working hard to take care of themselves and their families.
But a portion of those who don’t pay taxes at all are gaming the system. Let’s face it! We all know at least one of those people, the one collecting welfare, housing and food stamps yet is driving a Mercedes.
Look at past eleven months. What’s the work incentive anymore when you can do better getting paid off?
That half of the country that pays taxes and sees what is going on…how much longer does anyone think they will continue to tolerate what is happening?
Coming soon: New Bill Wynn and a new kitchen story.

So here we go again, Covid restrictions and travel bans. While the would-be president speaks today about it, he is letting in more than 200,000 people per month as illegal aliens and all those who are “gotaways,” 25 percent of whom have Covid.
What bullshit.
And then there’s Hunter Biden and his connection for more that 10 million dollars to a Chinese energy company, and of course to Russia too. Any wonder this would-be preseident (we wonder who is actually controlling things) curtailed our energy production and cheerfully increased Russia”s?
What the f…
My oil delivery was up $1.14 per gallon from last year, or more than $150.00 for the fill I just got.
Go Joe. You’re so on our team.

Natural gas, heating oil, gasoline, electricity: prices out of control
Store shelves empty
Oppression of normal, everyday citizens: FBI investigations, IRS audits based upon political stance, justice department labels as domestic terrorists, all while criminals, illegals and leftist anarchists roam free
Taxation without representation, more like unapproved redistribution of wealth
Suppression and censorship rampant
3rd world America: Third World Joe.
