Slow Down Petaluma!

2/28/2021

In the California city of Petaluma, which covers less than 15 square miles, there are currently 16 gas stations. But there will never be another one, even if one of the existing stations goes out of business. The ones that are left also can’t ever expand the number of fuel pumps, either, though they can add electric charging stations and hydrocarbon pumps. City officials recently approved a permanent ban on new gas stations in a move that climate activists say is national first, and a crucial step towards curbing our reliance on fossil fuels.

Do they not get that besides these people paying way more in gas prices and gas taxes at every level of government across the Union, that limiting the number of stations will only serve to jack up fuel prices even more as there would be less gas stations competing for business?

This is the ideocracy of the Democratic Party. They aren't going to reduce the number of vehicles using fossil fuels beyond that which the market is already bearing. It is happening naturally. Profitably, like we do in America.

A major problem we have is that representatives don't go to D.C. to represent, they go to fund their social justice coffers. It's easy to get people to donate when they think they're getting something in return. This is one of the reasons why it's so much more difficult running for office as a Republican than a Democrat. Republicans don't have "freebies," to offer...just a rocking economy and jobs.

Quite frankly, Dems don't care as much about these things because they don't bring in money, but bigger government means more spending money so more influence and power. Check the records, did some people connected to the Obama Administration, benefit from Solyndra? Yes. And if you don't think the media was already putting out fake news years ago, consider that they did their very best to bury the Solyndra story to protect Obama.

Could you imagine how hard and fast Democrats and the media would've played it if Trump admitted that the: "Shovel Ready Projects," weren't that shovel ready? Obama laughed about it. Not something to laugh about. Well, I guess pulling one over on the rest of us might be enticing to him and the media making it "No News," is one of the ways they get their jollies.

The Largest Organism on Earth

2/28/2021

An Amazing Fact: Living beneath the Strawberry Mountain Wilderness in eastern Oregon, researchers have discovered the largest living organism on Earth. A single fungus living three feet underground is estimated to cover over 2,200 acres. The small mushrooms visible above ground are only the tip of the iceberg.

Officially known as Armillaria Ostoyae, or the honey mushroom, the fungus is 3.5 miles across and takes up space equivalent to 1,665 football fields. Based on its speed of growth, experts estimate that this “Methuselah mushroom” is over 2,400 years old, but it could be much older.

Where Does it Come From?

2/23/2021

I just finished watching a very funny YouTube video which was a very embarrassing moment for a woman who was bragging about charging stations for electric cars. The reporter burned her with one simple question which was: "Where does electrical charging stations get their electricity?" In this particular case, it was getting its electricity from a grid that was generated by 95% coal and 5% natural gas. She was flabbergasted.

I certainly don't mind going down a profitable path for electric cars, but I'm getting sick and tired of these elitists democrats acting like we don't have a clue. Remember Solyndra? A great example of good money thrown after bad. Oh well, Obama and his cronies made out well even though the company did go under. This includes Biden who at the time, got to allocate the stimulus money and made Republicans jump through hoops to try and get some of the money which was going out. He loved playing The Godfather. Mr. O' shucks, is not blue collar. He's an elitist and quite frankly, a habitual liar his entire career.

It's Got to Stop!

2/23/2021

The below is directly from a training slide show by Coca Cola that is now given to their "White Employees." Coca-Cola said it isn't their curriculum (a lie), but that they got it from a LinkedIn Learning series. It doesn't matter. If they're using it, it's their curriculum. Own it! These are from a couple of their PowerPoint slides:

"To be less white is to: Be less oppressive, be less certain, be less defensive, be less ignorant, be more humble, listen, believe, break with apathy, break with white solidarity."

"In the U.S. and other Western nations, white people are socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because they are white," the slide reads. "Research shows that by age 3 to 4, children understand that it is better to be white." "Try to be less white," the training concludes.

Separate, and mandatory training, for whites. Does anyone else see the absurdity in what's being pushed across the country by liberals? Reverse discrimination abounds. I don't deserve to be whipped for the culture of people who lived during different times. Where women were at in the 60's and 70's up until now, is almost like night and day. They've shattered the glass ceiling. When the laws began protecting women from discrimination in the workplace, they ran with it and are leaving a lot of men (who are becoming less educated than them), in the dust. The key is taking advantage of the opportunities.

We've got plenty of laws on the books to prevent discrimination, what other laws are African Americans looking for? If they think our criminal justice system is what causes a disparity of lifestyles, then they're living in La La Land. The issue is the culture in some African American communities, not that whites are holding them back. Of course they also have many people believing that they're in danger from white cops when there's no evidence that backs this up; it's quite the contrary.

My guess is they have no laws necessarily in mind, but that reparations would be nice, which is what Dems are going to try and give them. Literally, over my dead body. I won't allow a mockery of our Constitution or our Republic. I'm never going to accept punishing people for the color of their skin, especially since they've done nothing wrong. Our Constitution states this isn't legal but Dems will try and push it anyways and make it appear that Republicans are racists for not supporting the reparations. It's how they roll. They are the great dividers.

More Fake News

2/23/2021

The Washington Post ran an article which stated President Biden is receiving praise for his low-key, more businesslike approach, than Trump. And just who exactly is praising him? There were around 74 million people praising Trump for four years for the job he was doing but the media buried this. Instead they'd get people who didn't like Trump and call them confidential sources, and write about how people hate Trump.

Once again, this is how the media operates now. They are not news organizations they are propaganda organizations. They fought like hell to prevent the TRUE story about Hunter Biden being investigated. Think about it, there's no way he doesn't do jail time just from what we know right now and the DOJ is still investigating him. If Eric Trump received a huge diamond from a Chinese official and didn't report it, do you think the media would've buried the story until they had all the facts?! Not a chance. This is why try as they might to still be considered a serious source for political news, they are now just like The National Enquirer. They are a joke.

How can their readers/viewers let them get away with not sharing stories like Hunter's? It was like pulling teeth to get some of the media to say anything about Cuomo until they didn't have a choice. If Democrats didn't jump on board with wanting him investigated, nothing would've happened. It wouldn't have been news because it wouldn't be reported. Once Dems were in, what could the liberal media do?

I used to read a lot of newspapers and magazines, but have now dropped almost all of them because they weren't telling me the truth about what was happening here nor abroad. I began getting a lot of propaganda years ago from Time and Newsweek magazines. As far as I can tell, they helped start the fake news craze.

Dems and the media made up story after story over the last four years making it appear we were going to war with countries like China, Russia, and Syria. If someone believed them, and many did, they would've thought our foreign policies were horrific when in fact they were more effective than any other president before and this includes President Reagan and President Nixon. Keep in mind, I don't like Trump as a person but am a HUGE Reagan fan. And Nixon might have been a bit sleazy, but man did he protect us against communism.

The media is absolutely disgusting!

Whoops!

2/15/2021

In 1982, a 33-year-old truck driver in Los Angeles made national news. Boredom got Larry Walters to go out and buy 42, six-foot weather balloons, a huge tank of helium, and some rope. His plan was to tie the balloons to his lawn chair, fill them with helium, and then gracefully rise up about two hundred feet into the air to where he could enjoy the view looking down on his neighborhood.

As his neighbors stood around watching the action, Larry secured his lawn chair to the bumper of his Jeep, and one by one he filled the balloons with helium. Then he tied them to his lawn chair. Before liftoff, he provided himself with a two-way radio, a parachute, some jugs of water, a couple of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and his BB gun to regulate his altitude by shooting out excess balloons.

When he was ready, he yelled, “Let’s go!” and his neighbors cut the ropes. But he didn’t slowly rise just 200 feet, his calculations were way off. He shot straight up so fast that he lost his glasses, climbing over 1,000 feet per minute. At one point he climbed to over 15,000 feet! For several hours he drifted in the cold air over the Pacific, near the landing pattern of the LAX airport. Eventually, a pilot of a DC-10 reported that he had passed a man in a lawn chair with a gun, and the control tower told him to report in immediately upon landing. They thought the pilot may have been drinking.

Eventually airport officials sent up helicopters to rescue him. On the ground, Larry found himself surrounded by TV crews, the police, and fire and rescue squads. It was a major event. One of the reporters asked, “What in the world made you do this?” Larry thought about it for a moment and said, “A man can’t just sit around.” Larry Walters is right, you can’t just sit around, but his casual calculations for his historic flight nearly got him killed. I've got to hand it to him though, that was a brave endeavor. Maybe he should call NASA to see if they have any openings.

Crazy Talk!

2/14/2021

Nothing surprises me anymore:

1) The entire Impeachment process was a scam pulled on the American people, not just President Trump. What these Democrats were willing to do in throwing the Constitution aside because most Americans don't understand conditions of Impeachment, in pursuit of political ideology, not truth, is shameless.

2) Where's Governor Cuomo? He and his brother Chris, can't get enough of themselves on television. Neither of them do much listening but instead love to hear themselves talk. Now all of a sudden the Governor goes mute and is speaking through others. Chris isn't touching the story and he's a CNN news anchor. What he did was illegal, let me repeat, illegal. If he were in the private sector he'd be in huge trouble right now. If you want to know whether he'll go crashing and burning, pay attention to: "The New York Times," because as soon as they write a bad article about him, any bad article, he'll be in huge trouble because the love affair will be officially over and there will be no one left to have his back. He doesn't deserve it anyway, and I'd love to see him go down along with his lying brother. Chris has knowingly lied to his viewers which CNN certainly doesn't mind, but do their viewers have integrity? Do they want the truth?

3) I thought Trump's lawyers hit it out of the park by honing in on the Constitution; something Dems tried to stay completely away from. Democrats refused to define what words "incite," others so everyone will be clear on what it takes to impeach someone. Why? Because Trump said absolutely nothing different than all the other politicians have said on the stump. His lawyer proved this through showing numerous videos of Democrats saying the very same things Trump did. He even had video of the House Managers (Democrat Prosecutors), saying the very same things Trump did. So of course Republicans wanted to understand what "incites," violence. They were logically wondering why if an event was pre-planned by extremists, then how could Trump incite them? A logical question that Dems avoided answering because they knew it would set precedence and potentially come back to bite their party's stars. The very video that Dems used (not all of the video of course because they didn't want the truth out), clearly showed Trump telling the crowd to demonstrate peacefully. That we can make a difference through voting. Wow, interesting piece of evidence they left out! I'm sure it was an innocent mistake.

4) The Impeachment was such a joke that neither Justice Roberts or VP Harris, showed up for it. Everything went down exactly how the Republicans said it would and surprise, surprise, not how Dems said it would. They already knew they didn't have the Supreme Court's blessing on impeaching a private citizen. Why do it? They knew they couldn't define Trump's alleged "incitement," to be any different than verbiage used by Democrats. And this is why they completely stayed away from a criminal-type hearing. If it were handled more like a criminal trial, they would've been forced to use witnesses. They said they would at first, but when they saw the witnesses that were willing to come forward for Trump, they completely backed down. They should've been embarrassed but they're shameless people. Many Democrats were sweating this out including Omar and Maxine Waters. Could you imagine them trying to explain under oath why the very words that they used, which also Trump used, should be treated differently when it's a Republican involved? Of course Democrats didn't want them questioned under oath. Transparency is a ridiculous lie they tell.

5) Speaking of lying, let's not leave out the mainstream media who picks and chooses when to use science to address COVID issues. If they were truly doing their jobs, they'd show reports from credible research organizations all around the globe, regarding the effectiveness of masks, social distancing, shutting down schools, etc. For pretty much an entire year, educated people who have no agenda, knew that schools were safe for children but Democrats wouldn't listen (Teacher's Union), and the mainstream media didn't provide truthful reporting, or at the very least, cover both sides to a story and let the listener/reader decide what he or she thinks is legitimate. Why won't the media share positive news about how Republican states are outperforming other states with death rates and economic indicators? Why in the world, do they refuse to tell us the truth about our country? If Trump's Administration hadn't shared it, we wouldn't have known about the amazing economic indicators that we were experiencing even through the epidemic. Countries which shut down, like Italy, crashed their economy and still didn't keep their citizens safe compared to how great of a job the U.S. actually did. If you believed Dems and the media, you would've thought the U.S. was in horrific shape; this is the story they were telling and it was an outright lie. They had to hang onto the narrative to get Biden through the election. I find this very scary.

Absolutely Mind-Blowing

2/5/2021

I re-posted this one because of the positive feedback the first time around and that it is so relevant :

If you're like me, your mind gets blown anytime you hear a Democrat try to explain a policy position. It's like listening to a little kid who doesn't have any idea regarding fiscal responsibility. I think the reason we might still get our minds blown, when we shouldn't any longer, is that we can't think the way some of these liberals do. We can't debate someone successfully if he or she lacks common sense and knowledge regarding applicable topics. Here's proof that many Democrats lack common sense and logic:

1) They actually think they gave Trump a smooth transition of power. OMG! You've got to be kidding! I believe more than 60 Democrats didn't even show up for the inauguration out of protest for Trump becoming President. There are leaders in the Democratic Party who have spent four years trying to prove he didn't deserve to be there. I don't call that a smooth transition.

2) They actually thought that around 75 million Americans had naively voted a Russian spy into office. Even after four years they still don't get how rabid they became. How totally outrageous the story was, yet they were eating it up like ice cream. I was embarrassed for them. By the way, most Democrats knew the truth but it didn't fit their narrative.

3) They actually believed at various points, that we were going to war with China, North Korea, and Russia. What makes this even more unbelievable is that Dems were talking out of both sides of their mouths. Why would Trump push these leaders' buttons, to a point of going to war, if he was in bed with them? Do you see how ridiculous the Democratic Party has become? They're dangerous.

4) They said Republicans want a border wall because we're racists. Why would they think this when once again the reason we want it is common sense and logic based. It's outrageous for them to make a racist claim when a wall has never been used throughout the history of mankind, for racism purposes.

5) They actually thought that Trump's call to the Ukraine was deserving of impeachment yet Biden admitted, on camera, to conducting a Quid Pro Quo with our tax money to the Ukraine. Their double-standards are absolutely through the roof.

6) They actually believe Democrats wouldn't fight to maintain the White House if the roles were reversed. Even more shocking considering Hillary is on record telling Biden not to give up no matter what the vote tallies. Of course this was before he had the lead.

7) They believe the Republican Party is sexists yet women are making greater strides in the Republican Party than they are in the Democratic Party. Democrats have no need for fresh, young, female, faces, when they're loaded with old hawks like Biden, Kerry, Leahy, Sanders, Schumer, and Schiff. By the way, why would around 35 million women be a member of the Republican Party if it was in fact sexist? They wouldn't. Just another lie. And once again I say, that if people think evil of us, then there's no need for debate because there would be no respect thus no progress.

8) They believe the mainstream media isn't biased for the Democratic Party.

9) They actually believe that it made perfect sense for a Secretary of State to set up her own government agency server, in her residence. They were even okay with Hillary and her attorneys wiping the server of anything they want, before turning it over to the FBI. Let's not forget the five electronic devices that were wiped clean and that Hillary said she only had a phone and an I-Pad, which was one of many statements that weren't true. The problem is that the FBI was picking and choosing who to go after even though they were the same crimes. Flynn lies, he goes to prison. Hillary lies numerous times and Comey said that she didn't mean to "mislead," us. How does he know this? Did Hillary tell him?

I could go on and on as you well know, but the bottom line is that the information I listed above is no-brainer material. It's easy to understand using common sense and logic but for some reason, many Democrats don't get it. They are so brainwashed by their leaders that they don't even realize they come across as fools at times. I just wish they understood what their own political party is doing to them. Most of their representatives know the truth (like Schiff), and regularly lie for personal and political gain. They commit fraud by knowingly lying to their constituents in order to generate contributions. We couldn't get away with this in the private sector because it's against the law. The question is: where in the Constitution is it okay for politicians to be treated differently in our criminal justice system?

The Amazing John Hanson (1721 - 1783)

2/5/2021

George Washington was the first official president of the U.S., but a lot of people forget that it took around eight years to get us from our Declaration of Independence to the U.S. Constitution when Washington was voted into office.

John Hanson was in many ways the first acting President as he was extremely involved in getting our country off the ground and he was elected the first president of the Continental Congress.

John’s grandfather came from England in 1661 and settled in Maryland. He was an indentured servant when he arrived but two generations later the family owned a plantation with 1,000 acres. John’s father got into politics and he followed suit; filling various offices in Maryland’s General Assembly along with becoming a professional surveyor which was a powerful occupation back then because every line drawn meant more money for one person or the other. He also took on the role of sheriff at one point in his career. He got married in 1774 and had eight children.

His greatest accomplishment happened right after the war and helped saved our new nation because we were in dire straits financially. Investors, soldiers, and suppliers were owed money because of the war. There was uproar over this, and a lot of soldiers were planning on going back to their colonies and work against any efforts to bring the colonies together. Hanson worked out deals that brought everyone together.

He also had to manage getting British loyalists and troops back to Europe which of course was a major and sensitive undertaking. Lastly, it was a significant problem in working out the details as to powers and responsibilities of the Federal government versus State governments. This is what took so long to get hammered out and exploded into the Civil War in 1861 as southern states felt the Union no longer respected their rights.

I wrote this post as a reminder to us that there are so many amazing people in history who we know little to nothing about. George Washington was our first elected President, but it took years to get our country to a point after our Declaration of Independence where we became a sovereign nation; a true Republic. People like John Hanson get lost in the history books, so I wanted to introduce everyone to this hero who deserves a tremendous amount of gratitude and respect.

They Are No Longer a News Organization

2/4/2021

I'm still waiting for "The New York Times," to cover the data fraud regarding deaths in nursing homes. If I were a subscriber, I'd cancel my subscription. This is huge news that they've refused to cover for one reason, and one reason only, and that is because it would hurt Democrats. Plus, someone at the paper must have a huge crush on Governor Cuomo because it's like they are a PR machine for him. It's truly strange.
