It's Out of Control

1/30/2021

Sadly, I don’t believe enough people realize the tremendous danger of double standards. How in the world, can Democrats go after President Trump for inciting violence when he said just the opposite? He asked for support (people showing up at the Capitol), but in no way, in no words at all, did he say come into the building nor do it violently.

Now compare this to the violence that various Democrats have openly supported for years. It’s all over YouTube. Just pull up a name, like Maxine Waters, and hear what she has to say. How about what Pelosi said about Trump: “I’m counting down the hours ‘til he’s gone. I plan to pull him out of there by his hair, his little hands and his feet.” Is this inciting violence? Then there’s NY Governor Andrew Cuomo who incited New Yorkers to harm President Trump when he said: “He better have an army if he thinks he’s gonna walk down the street in New York. New Yorkers don’t want to have anything to do with him,” said Cuomo. “He can’t have enough bodyguards to walk through New York City.” I truly have hundreds if not thousands of examples of members of the Democratic Party inciting violence according to their own definition.

But beyond politicians, what about their constituents in the music industry? If you want to talk about inciting violence, listen to some rap music. Some of the songs glorify rape and murder, especially, murdering cops and even white people. What about the gaming industry? So why isn’t this inciting violence? Maybe because these industries donate some of the largest amounts of money to the Democratic Party.

Liberals want to pick and choose who to prosecute and it has absolutely nothing to do with an actual crime and everything to do with politics. Words aren’t violence. We might insult someone with our words but we can't assault someone with our words. If someone says something that makes me mad or hurts my feelings, it doesn’t mean the individual physically hurt me and should be punished. Absolutely no law is broken; it’s called Freedom of Speech.

If we continue to let this happen, without strongly voicing our opinions to our representatives, then our country will no longer be successful. We will have had one of the best runs ever for a new nation, but it would be over. Everyone will sit back at this point of turmoil and realize that while we were keeping our eyes open for terrorists who want to destroy us, that Democrats were already on the inside making it happen. Certainly not intentionally destroying our country, but through non-sensical domestic and foreign policies they will have accomplished it anyway.

By the way, Babbel and Rosetta Stone are offering great deals on learning to speak Chinese. I guess they see the writing on the wall and want to get ahead of it. :)

Did He or Didn't He?

1/30/2021

If you can remember, one of the biggest stories in the 90's (1997), was that of a murder trial where Scott Falater killed his wife. His neighbor heard some strange noises coming from Scott's backyard, so he looked over the fence and saw Scott's wife (Yarmilla), laying on the ground next to the pool. He immediately called the police and then he saw a light go on in the upstairs master bedroom and he saw Scott walking by the window. He was afraid to do anything because he didn't know what was happening, then while waiting for the police, he sees Scott come out of the house and drag his wife into the pool where it looked like he was drowning her. Then Scott left her floating in the water and went inside the house. When the police arrived they pulled her out of the pool and she was dead. She had stab wounds all over her (the coroner would later count 44). The police found Scott just walking around in his house and he appeared totally confused as to why they were there. Their two children were asleep when the police arrived.

Here's where it gets crazy. Scott said he didn't remember a thing although the police of course weren't buying it. His defense team stated that Scott had a history of sleep walking and that's what happened. Of course I don't have a clue as to whether this sleepwalking defense has any legitimacy, but it sounded outrageous to me. But, why did he do it? The police wanted a motive to help them close the case. They couldn't find it. Scott and Yarmilla were high school sweethearts. Scott was a very successful engineer with Motorola. Many family and friends said they were jealous as to how great Scott and Yarmilla's marriage was. They were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Scott was to teach a bible study the very next morning. If he did it, it came out of nowhere. Neither of them were caught having an affair, there was no life insurance policy (she didn't work so Scott didn't have a policy on her), there was never a domestic disturbance call to their house previously. The police could never find a motive and it was something that tripped the jurors up a bit.

The defense team had an uphill battle and they provided evidence that he did sleepwalk from time to time. Only one other time had it been violent. His sister was in the kitchen in the middle of the night and Scott walked in and didn't acknowledge her. She knew something was off and when he began walking to the sliding glass door, she attempted to stop him and as she put it, he threw her several feet. She was shocked at his strength because he was pretty much a skinny geek.

The defense strategy didn't work even though they brought in two of the leading people in the field of sleepwalking, and Scott was sentenced to life without parole. His family and two teenage children were devastated. They said their parents were best friends constantly doing things together. After twenty years they still support their father.

I can't say for sure, whether Scott intended to kill his wife, but if I were a juror, I would've convicted him because I don't believe there's enough science behind the effects of sleepwalking. What would've stuck in the back of my mind, is that they found bloody clothes and the knife hidden in the back of one of their vehicles under a floorboard. I just couldn't see someone in a daze, thinking strategically. If he didn't know he did anything wrong, then why cover anything up?

It's an extremely strange case and why the national media was all over the trial in Phoenix. There are certainly some innocent people in prison but I don't believe Scott is one of them although I do admit that his defense team had me wondering at times. If you like watching crime shows, ABC News 20/20, has this recent episode available On-Demand.

The Cancel Culture

1/29/2021

If Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln, aren't worthy of being respected through statues and buildings being named after them, then who is? It's not even close, the positive things they've done for our country compared to the leaders of today, is like night and day. We have what we do now, because of what they did then. We owe them a tremendous amount of gratitude.

I find it disgusting that many liberals across the country want to dishonor these people by removing their names from any public property. If that's the game they want to play, then why isn't Senator Robert Byrd's name being removed from the countless buildings and bridges in West Virginia? My gosh, he was a Grand Wizard for the KKK. These crazy double-standards must stop.

But the bottom line is this shouldn't be happening in the first place. Holding people to moral standards which weren't in place at the time, is beyond insane. In 100 years, what will citizens think of our stances on things? Will we be rebuked? Will the good that we did be thrown out based on new social standards and our legacy will be demonized even though we did the best we could with what we had at the time?

This is the mentality of the Left and we'd better step up and get engaged in the fight before we lose it all. Thanks!

Filthy Rich

1/26/2021

When it comes to the wealthiest actors/celebrities in Hollywood, there are six who have way more wealth than the others and they are: 1) Oprah 2) Sylvester Stallone 3) The Olsen Twins 4) Arnold Schwarzenegger 5) George Clooney and 6) Tom Cruise.

These individuals made money beyond just from acting. Arnold, Stallone, and Cruise, created huge movie franchises so they got money for acting, directing, producing, writing, cut of movie profits, etc. Clooney got rich in the liquor business. Oprah is in to all kinds of business dealings. And of course the Olsen Twins are very successful fashionistas. Interesting that these two babies from the television show: "Full House," became mega-rich. On average, these two young ladies (34 years old now), have around 500 times more wealth than their fellow actors from the show.

Margaret "Molly" Brown (1867 - 1932)

1/25/2021

Kathy Bates played her in the famous movie: The Titanic. There was also a Broadway musical that became a movie in 1964 called: The Unsinkable Molly Brown.

Molly was born into a poor family and her parents and six siblings lived in a two-bedroom cottage in Hannibal, Missouri. When she was 18, the family moved to Colorado where she got a job in a department store. Her goal was to find a rich man to marry who could also help take care of her family but she fell in love with a man by the name of Jim Brown who was as poor as her family was; but he did have aspirations to move up in the mining business. She told herself she’d rather be poor and in love than rich and miserable.

Jim made a tremendous find for his mining company and they gave him 12,500 shares of stock and a place on their board of directors. They were rich. They bought a Victorian mansion and a second home and she quickly became a socialite but she always fought the image of new money and not being part of the wealthy establishment. She joined various women’s societies and led various philanthropic efforts in an effort to fit in. She became very interested in the arts and became fluent in French, German, Italian, and Russian. She may have grown up poor and lacking a good education but she was making up for it in an effort to be acknowledged as worthy in upper-society.

After 23 years of marriage (1909), she and Jim dissolved their marriage amicably; they remained close friends throughout their lives. Besides being given their homes she also received a one-time payout (amount unknown), and a $700 monthly allowance (equivalent to $18,659 today). She was in great financial shape.

Molly remained very active in charitable work focusing on disadvantaged children; she had two children of her own. She was instrumental in laying the groundwork for our juvenile justice system. She ran for Senate in 1914 but stopped her campaign when an opportunity presented itself to do some charity work in France as a lot of their country was destroyed during WWI.

She loved to travel and this is why she ended up as a passenger on the Titanic as she was coming back to the U.S. from Europe. The reason she is so famous is that when the Titanic sank on April 12, 1912, she didn’t run to one of the lifeboats to get away, instead she directed people to the launch points and helped passengers get on the boats. It wasn’t until she was forced to board a life boat that she finally gave in.

Only one lifeboat went back to try and find passengers who were alive and it was filled with crew members who felt it was their duty. The lifeboat Molly was on had one of the crewmembers, but he refused to go back. She tried to form a mutiny to try and take over the boat so they could go back and check for survivors but no one would help her, they were too afraid. She was distraught and even grabbed one of the oars to try and paddle towards the victims but the crewmember pretty much told her that he’d throw her overboard if she didn’t stop. Their fear was justified in that they were worried the boat might get overwhelmed by survivors and capsize. This wasn’t the case as so many had already died from the cold water but this wasn’t known until later.

I can’t sit here and say what I would’ve done if I were in her shoes but she was such a brave woman with a tremendous amount of spunk thus the honor of being called: The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Margaret died when she was 65 years old from a brain tumor and is buried beside the only man she ever loved, her late husband, Jim.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

1/25/2021

Manfred Mann is the name of a popular 60's jazz/rock group out of London, it's also the name of one of the band members. Manfred was very well liked and even though he wasn't the lead singer (he sang back-up vocals, and played the guitar and piano), he was absolutely instrumental in getting the band started. They were mostly active from 1964 thru 1969. Songs like: "Do Wah Diddy, Diddy," and "Blinded by the Light," became huge hits around the world. Manfred is now 80 years old.

Buy American

1/25/2021

So Biden writes an Executive Order to "Buy American," goods and then as soon as it's announced, gets on the phone with various trade partners like Canada, to say don't worry about his Executive Order as it won't impact them. If Trump did this the media would've buried him for speaking out of both sides of his mouth. But Biden, no problem. How in the world does it not impact them? I hope it does or the whole thing is a waste. By the way, I beg of Democrats to look up the definition for "Unity," because apparently they don't get it. Thanks.

Crazy Talk

1/25/2021

President Biden signed an Executive Order titled: "Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government." You'd think a guy hanging out in DC all his life would know that the federal government has already poured trillions of dollars into "disadvantaged," communities. Just what exactly will they spend the money on that already hasn't been purchased? We've got over 50 years of pumping serious money into various communities to help keep them afloat, but that's all it does. The money is sucked away like a vacuum and does little to nothing towards creating an economy in these challenging areas. Some of his (well Kamala's), ideas on "Advancing Racial Equity," will lead to a civil war, especially, if they push for reparations.

Impeached Again

1/13/2021

So without any submitted evidence or witness testimony, Dems moved forward with impeachment. The evidence that was presented on the Republican side included the complete transcript of Trump's speech and he DID NOT say anything to incite violence. Why would he, it would only serve to hurt him, as we're seeing now. Dems don't have answers to these common sense questions. They crazily attempt to make people believe (and some sheep do), that Trump was planning on staging a coup with a few hundred people. I don't know how else to write it, if you believe Trump wanted the Capitol stormed, you're an idiot.

Now the good news if you're a Republican and are looking for some pay back. Once Kamala Harris becomes VP, the Senate can impeach her for inciting violence in 2020. Not only did she cheer the violence on, she helped get donations to get people who committed arson, assaults, looting, robberies, etc., out of jail. Isn't not having people pay for their crimes and being told they're not doing anything wrong, incite violence? Yes! So although there's no proof regarding Trump, both Biden and Harris have unleashed the race card numerous times thus stoking unrest and leading to severe violence. The evidence is all over YouTube. Well, at least for now. Watch it while you can.

If this is how Dems want to play, go after everyone associated with Biden and Harris. The House and Senate wasted four years of time and money, trying to get Trump out of office, they might as well keep all the sad and disgusting hearings going.

Freedom of Speech?

1/13/2021

Even though leaders from the Democratic Party and the mainstream media, have countless Tweets inciting violence, Twitter chose to shut down President Trump. I don't like the shutting down of speech but if they're going to do it, then be fair and balanced. Maxie Waters alone, has told fellow Democrats to chase Republicans out of public places.

Look at what happened to Josh Hawley's wife and baby. Clearly the danger of not having free speech is exactly what we're beginning to see and that is Democrats controlling content and building a matrix. So once again, one of the tech giants shows who they are and why they can't be trusted.
