What's Happened to Our Country?

3/31/2023

I don't think it's a surprise to anyone that President Trump is being singled out for political reasons. I also don't think it's a surprise that it's a New York judicial process that indicted him. They've tried for years to bring him down.

So, they go after Trump over misdemeanors while not going after so many democrats who have committed horrific felonies. The Biden's alone are a great example. When they found proof of payments from China, including the million-dollar diamond that Hunter received from them and the money that went to Biden's daughter-in-law, and that they hadn't reported it to anyone including the IRS, that alone should have put them in jail for a long time; it certainly would if it were you or me. They've known about the diamond Hunter received for over two years now, and they also know that he didn't report it to the IRS or customs for that matter.

Do you think if it was one of Donald Trump's children that the DOJ would let it slide? If it weren't for Republicans forcing investigations into these matters since they now control the House, nothing would've been done.

The bottom line is everyone knows what this whole thing is about. For six years they've been proactively trying to get Trump over false allegations again and again. I believe this will backfire on democrats because people in my world who might not be overt Trump supporters are so mad about it that they want to see him elected. Be afraid, democrats, be very afraid.

I Can't Remember

3/31/2023

Dr. Anthony Fauci was deposed and in his recent deposition he used the phrases: "I don't know," and "I don't remember," over 300 times. The Harvard lawyer, who finished first in his class, did the deposition and he said during a hearing yesterday that he's never experienced anything like it in all the depositions he's done.

He stated that even questions about what Fauci had said to Congress, said during interviews, written about, etc., that Fauci said he couldn't remember. Bottom line, this well-known and respected lawyer believes Fauci is corrupt. I believe him.

Amazing

I believe this is one of the best auditions ever; in this case it is on Canada's Got Talent. Get ready to smile.

Think of Laura

3/29/2023

The song that Christopher Cross wrote called: Think of Laura, really took off when it was used on the soap opera General Hospital in 1983, for one of their story lines. Most people thought it was written for the show, but it wasn't. Fans of the show went crazy over it, and this led to Cross's popularity. Not unlike when the movie The Graduate, skyrocketed Simon and Garfunkel's fame.

The song was actually written for a college freshman named Laura who Christopher knew, who played lacrosse. Her parents were at the college to watch her game and it was also Parents' Weekend. After the game she got into the back seat of her parents' car when a stray bullet went through the window and killed her. There was a shootout near the college between a couple of gangs and one bullet got away. The person who killed her was caught and sent to prison. He was paroled in 2012.

Not only did Christopher write the song for Laura he also included a picture of her on the album's cover. The song remained on Billboard's Top Ten for 11 weeks. A picture of the cover is provided below along with a YouTube video of Think of Laura.

No Greater Love

3/29/2023

The little nine-year-old girl pictured below tried to pull the fire alarm when they heard the Nashville shooter coming and she was shot and killed. The school was Christian based, and she was well grounded in the scripture of no greater love hath no one than to give their life for another.

The hero's name was Evelyn Dieckhaus.

Politial Hodge Podge

3/29/2023

Here you go:

1) Michael Sussman was the attorney for the DNC, and it was discovered that he had a special badge that got him into the DOJ's and FBI's offices. AG Garland was asked about it yesterday and he said he wasn't aware of this and that he'd get back to the investigative committee. Will he get back to the committee, I'm not sure, but I am sure that it's yet another example of how corrupt the Democratic Party and the CIA, DOJ, FBI, and mainstream media, have become.

2) Biden keeps talking about the MAGA republicans and how corrupt they are. Wow! While talking about the latest mass shooting, he said that, republicans care more about the NRA than they do about children, which of course is a blatant, and disgusting, lie. He said republicans haven't done anything about gun control while leaving out a very important point and that is the Democratic Party had the House, Senate, and Oval Office, Biden's first two years in office so why didn't they do anything? They could've made any changes they wanted, and republicans couldn't stop them.

3) Along the same vein, democrats blamed the Trump Administration for the train derailment in Ohio, while once again leaving out that if there were any legislations/rules that made the train industry unsafe, then why didn't they do anything about it? And keeping to form, they've blamed the Trump Administration for the recent bank failures when the fact is if there was anything wrong with these regulations, they could've changed them. They know that an average American won't consider these things, so they get away with dumping bad things on republicans. In doing so, they are lying to Americans and are not being held accountable. I consider the Democratic Party a greater threat to our Republic than China or Russia. And by the way, investigations in these matters have shown that the Trump Administration wasn't responsible, but this doesn't stop the democrats from lying about it.

4) The Internal Revenue Service, when questioned yesterday in a hearing, wouldn't answer why an IRS agent visited the home of journalist Matt Taibbi, who investigated the Twitter files and the government's involvement in using the platform for political reasons like covering up Hunter Biden stories before the election. This is completely against the IRS' protocols. They don't show up at someone's door unannounced instead they send a letter requiring the person to get back to them within a certain period of time so that if he or she want's to use a tax attorney for an audit they can. Democrats don't even try to hide their corruption anymore because the media has their backs and they use their power to squash stories of corruption.

5) I'm praying that Biden and Harris run again because they will lose which is the starting point in getting America on the path of becoming great again. As far as Trump goes, I hate the way he politics, and in this case, going after Ron DeSantis who is well liked in Florida. Going after him is like going after every republican in our state. But, I will support him if he gets the nomination for several reasons, including, the last election was stolen from him by the FBI, mainstream media, and social media, as they buried the Hunter laptop story. Plus, Trump's productivity in getting great policies in place, foreign and domestic, were extraordinary. I'd like to experience that again.

The Duke of Surfing

3/26/2023

The use of what are now called "Surf Boards," dates back to around the 1400's as a paddling device for going up and down rivers and creeks. They weren't fancy, but they were cheap and easy to make on the fly.

Then in the early 1900's, Duke Paoa Kahinu Mokoe Hulikohola Kahanamoku, from Hawaii, began surfing with a board he designed, and the sport of surfing took off like wildfire all around the world.

Duke was always in the water and actually won five Olympic Medals in swimming. I have to admit, I don't think I would've been smart enough to learn how to spell my name if I were him. 😁

Just Another Day in My Hood

3/26/2023

The wild thing is that once the bird opened up its wings and didn't back down, the gator blinked first and went back into the water. I'm not saying you won't get eaten, but when approached by an alligator try flapping your arms. 😁

One Dangerous Budget

3/26/2023

Democrats budget highlights:

1) $82 Trillion over 10 years. This is an increase of about 25% per year so our debt is going to substantially multiply.

2) $3.9 Billion towards climate resilience. Basically, creating policies to deal with climate catastrophes.

3) $109 Million to Mexico for helping with the southern border. We're going to pay for what the Trump Administration was getting for free.

4) $3.5 Billion for the FBI's new headquarters. No wonder they're an extension of the Democratic Party.

5) $1.8 Billion increase to the IRS's budget. They're still trying to find ways to add tens of thousands of new IRS personnel. Which means tens of thousands of democrats being added to the department.

6) $1.6 Billion to United Nations Green Climate Fund which $100 million of it is earmarked for China. I see the Bidens' hands in this.

7) $180 million to the World Health Organization. This is the organization that steered everyone wrong on COVID and refused to investigate the Wu Han lab until they were forced to. It was if the WHO was an organization in China.

8) $117 million for the Department of Defense's equity and race training programs. No where in the country do we have so many men and women working for an organization (the military), where it's less racially divided. Relationships are fantastic between different races in all branches of service because "one team," is part of their culture.

9) Reductions to HLS, ICE, and Border Patrol's budget. They're moving the money to a fund that is geared towards taking care of illegals here in the U.S. (i.e., food, housing, legal, medical, etc.).

10) $400 Billion to pay off student loans. They're still trying to make this happen.

And by the way, the Department of Defense has a Diversity and Inclusion head who is an African American female that recently commented that she doesn't like white people. How are these people getting in these positions? It's sick!

Mr. Blue Sky

3/25/2023

I’m a huge music enthusiast with tastes that are broad but am more inclined to listen to 70’s rock like Free Bird or Sweet Home Alabama or country music. One of the greatest songs ever written is Mr. Blue Sky by the Electric Light Orchestra's (E.L.O.), Jeff Lynne. They were truly an orchestra that could rock. They’re a British band who produced eleven albums between 1971 and 1986 and is still touring to this day.

If you want to experience a special moment, please click on the video below and listen to the song, even if you've heard it before, and pay attention to the music. You’ll notice sounds that were 30 years ahead of its time in using synthesizers among other technology. You'll also hear what sounds like a large choir and a beautiful, orchestrated piece, especially the piano. It was a huge hit on music charts around the world in 1977.

By the way, Jeff Lynne, who wrote the song, had to write songs for E.L.O.'s next album which ended up including Mr. Blue Sky. He went to a quiet place in the Alps trying to get inspiration. It rained for two weeks straight, and he was getting depressed and worried that he hadn’t accomplished anything. Then one morning he woke up and the sun was coming up over the mountains it was a perfect day.

He went to the small village near where he was staying and whereas very few people had been around during the prior two weeks, it was filled with people walking around and enjoying the weather. This inspired Jeff to write Mr. Blue Sky and after finishing it he completed their entire album of songs in just two weeks. If you do watch the video please try to stay tuned through the end of the song, because it's an orchestrated piece that even Mozart would’ve love to have written.
