One of my neighbors has this beautiful bird (Great Blue Heron), show up almost daily to fish and to hang out in his backyard. The bird's name is Charles, because as you see, he is an aristocrat. 😁
For going on about two years now, California has refused to hand over public information for the state’s line-by-line expenditures saying they can't locate all the bills they paid the previous year. Let that sink in.
Who in the hell has been the state's auditor? Might he or she be turning the other cheek for personal gain? We know the individual is a democrat so it's certainly likely; especially in California. In my opinion, the federal government needs to put the hammer down on California and force them to provide this public information. A federal judge should fine the state for every day they hide it. The Navy Seals have been around since 1962 and because of its elite status, we've only had around 15,000 patriots serve in these roles. I tried to join their group before taking off for submarine duty, but my swimming was so much worse than pretty much everyone else, that I didn't have a chance. Country folks swim in creeks and rivers so I was in no way a skillful swimmer; I just didn't know it at the time. 😁
So I washed up, and washed out, in one day. And quite frankly, in looking back, I don't think I would've cut it anyhow if I would've made it further in the process. Sure everyone was extremely fit physically, but it's their mental toughness which keeps them from ringing the bell and washing out. I don't think I had that mental toughness back then that it would take to become successful with the Seals. But, what amazes me most about the Navy Seals is that considering the dangerous aspect of some of their roles, like with Seal Team Six, they've only lost around 340 men in 60 years. Why is this? Because our elite teams aren't just the men and women on the ground taking care of tactical issues, they're surrounded by some of the smartest military minds we have (and CIA). The missions they choose to take on and the plans they come up with to execute the missions, are extraordinary. The technology that we developed under President Trump is mind-blowing. Did you know that we have rifles which can shoot around corners? We can fly drones the size of Bumble Bees and Hummingbirds into buildings and have it use facial recognition to execute the desired enemy. Did you also know that the U.S. provides more "paid," consulting to countries around the world in law enforcement and military strategies and tactics than any other nation? Why us? Because we're the best. Sorry other countries around the world, but that's just the way it is. How about those apples? :) Lawmakers are demanding information from the Department of Justice over the agency's raid of an apartment in New York associated with the conservative group Project Veritas. The raid had to do with an ongoing investigation into how Ashley Biden, President Joe Biden's daughter, had her diary stolen and made public roughly one week before the 2020 presidential election. Just exactly why would the DOJ/FBI get involved in this petty crime? Because they are corrupt. Not only is it not in their jurisdiction, there isn't a law enforcement agency even at a local level that would investigate this "alleged," crime with all the real issues they must deal with.
Add to this the ridiculous prosecution of Kyle Rittenhouse. Since the prosecution knew the video would be shown where clearly Rittenhouse is being pursued, he wasn't the pursuer, why did they even consider moving forward with the arrest? People in the courtroom were in shock as the trial started and testimony began. All they knew was the information they got from the news which was constantly blasting Rittenhouse as a racist in pursuit of killing others. What they had heard and read wasn't even close to matching up with what the media was pushing. Justice isn't blind. Democrats have pulled the blindfold off of her and have inserted politics into our judicial system. This isn't conjecture, I've got thousands of examples. Literally, thousands of examples. I repeat...thousands of examples. Get the picture. We need an overhaul to protect individual rights. Picking who gets prosecuted based on political beliefs, is one of the factors leading to the downfall of many great nations. Having a system where people in government have immunity from liable and slander claims is outrageous. Having a system where news outlets can get away with blatant lies, is damaging our great nation. It's time to stop the madness! Let's all have a moment of silence for those who can't have a moment of silence because they have children. :)
Not good news for Biden (how unusual), but mostly "no news," from the mainstream media with the exception of a few major players stepping up like The Wall Street Journal who produced a scathing Op-Ed today about the Biden economy. They called the new Build Back Better legislation the most dishonest spending bill in U.S. history. Wow, that says a lot!
There are a lot of reasons for why the WSJ wrote the article and even some other heavy hitters in media are starting to realize the tide has turned and they're trying to figure out where to land safely. They've jammed themselves up with a real mess through pushing propaganda versus actual news here and around the world. They hedged their bet and went all in with far-left ideology and it's now beginning to come back and haunt them. And why have democrats all of a sudden stopped trusting the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)? It's not a perfect agency but it's the best we have to be fiscally responsible and look out for the taxpayers (our legislators sure aren't). All Republicans, and a few democrats, want before voting on the Bill, is to wait a few days for the CBO to do their job and find out if the legislation would truly pay for itself and if not, what would the damage be? To effectively run our households don't we like to know the cost before making any expenditures? Once again, it's common sense. Dems want to hurry the vote because they know the CBO report will not look good. What about transparency? Why are democrats wanting to cram this down everyone's throats versus making good decisions about our economy and our personal livelihoods? Are they for us, or against us? Scary! Initial leaks from the CBO do not look good for democrats. Surprise, surprise, they were using fuzzy math. Can you imagine having a job working for some of these sleazy politicians and having to spend your day spinning data to mislead constituents? All day long these politicians give short press conferences in the Halls of the House and Senate, which in most cases are blatant lies; almost as if they stopped caring about what people thought. Take Senator Adam Schiff for example. It's like he specifically removes all truths before going up to speak. The many outrageous claims he made about Trump (mostly on CNN and MSNBC), that he had concrete proof that Trump was colluding with the Russians, is a known lie. Even now, republicans are trying to get Schiff to provide all the damaging information that he said he had and he's refusing to provide the information. Why is this? If he had actual dirt on Trump it wouldn't sit on his desk for a second it would be leaked everywhere. This is common sense and logic. He lied. He should be held accountable and I'm talking about serious charges such as treason because he risked our Republic for political gain. He is a domestic terrorists and should be removed from office and placed in our criminal justice system to air out all his substantially dirty laundry. I'm sure the FBI will cut him a deal if he narks on some of his cronies (and the dirt bag will), involved in the anti-Trump conspiracy. He's a whiny, slippery, creep, who I'm glad I'll no longer have to see when I go to heaven; tongue in cheek of course. If he does make it to heaven, I wonder if I'll get in trouble for taking him behind some cloud and whooping his ass. I learned this mentality from President Biden; he's a real scrapper (well at least in his mind). I've got to say that although I'm going to love going to heaven, some of the better, more entertaining stories, will come from below. Maybe Bill Clinton will come clean on some of his sneaking around over the decades and of course hearing Hillary brag about how she beat the rap again and again; well at least on earth but not as it is in heaven. God will sort out the mess. We just have to hang in there and try to do the best we can, with what we can, whenever we can. For Christians we have faith in how the story will end, so we should look at anything bad as something that will soon pass. It's never as good as we think it is and it's usually never as bad as we think things are. Slow and steady wins the race. Well, actually accepting Christ as our Lord and Savior wins the race but it doesn't mean that it won't be a difficult challenge. But let's face it, we don't become Christians to enjoy an easy life. Many of Jesus' disciples, besides getting to heaven, died horrific deaths. They could've denied Christ but instead allowed themselves to be tortured. Now that's being a true believer. I can tell you one thing, if I didn't completely believe that Jesus was the son of God I would've denounced him and saved myself the pain. For these men to accept their tragic deaths for Christ, gives me every indication that the story of Jesus Christ being the son of God, is legitimate. Fiction wasn't a genre back in 50 A.D. You ever ask a non-believer why anyone would write what was written in the Bible during a time where most people didn't read? What would be the purpose? I guess for Dems they figured the media has their backs and would continue to bat clean-up for them by either spinning the story to limit the damage to the Democratic Party or just not covering the story altogether which has become extremely popular with the mainstream media. A reminder that several polls came back a few months after the election that stated if voters knew about Hunter Biden being investigated by the DOJ, that they either would've switched to voting for Trump or not placed a vote for President at all; either way, Trump would've won the election. I guess we know who the real colluders were for trying to overturn a legitimate election (i.e. democrats, media, etc.). The story about Hunter wasn't a lie; it was absolutely legitimate and there's no doubt in my mind that not only will Hunter experience some jail time for a variety of illegal doings, there are people around him who will get in severe trouble as well. If the DOJ weren't trying to expand the scope of their investigation to see who else they can capture in their net, Hunter would be in jail right now for the very least tax evasion, but quite frankly I can think of over 20 criminal charges that Hunter could be guilty of and they're serious charges that could lead to prison terms over 20 years. Don't get me started on "his," artwork. Corruption knows no bounds. When Trump was in office you'd think things were completely out of control yet great things were still being accomplished by the Republican Party regarding foreign and domestic policies. Of course they tried to make it look like Trump was going to kill everyone with his handling of COVID-19 to scare up votes. Remember they are the party of: "The end justifies the means." It appears that democrats and the media were spending so much time manufacturing crises because they couldn't stand Trump, that they lost a lot of common sense and logic (TDS), and became tunnel visioned, so they dismantled many popular Trump policies which were undeniably helping U.S. citizens just because they were Trump's. Think about it, around half the country thought our nation was doing great and loved many of the Trump's Administration's policies, but Biden went out on day one and ceremoniously ripped apart anything substantial that Trump had done even though Americans al all backgrounds were benefiting greatly from some of them. Does this sound like something a true American would do? Would you intentionally cause harm to our country because of a personal agenda? I'm guessing not. But that's probably because you're not in the public sector. We go by different and much more challenging legal system than the elitists in D.C., live under. Our political parties caring more about power than serving their constituents, is the greatest threat to our democracy. This along with the increase of non-patriots in our country through mostly the Democratic Party sharing false narratives. Democrats and the media would've only had to spend about ten minutes doing research in social media to find that Rittenhouse is a clean-cut, gun-ho, patriot; nothing else. What's even crazier if you think about it, since they're supposed to be professional politicians, is that it's not like they were really Trump's policies, they were part of the Republican platform which means around half of Americans were perfectly fine with the direction our country was headed under him. Basically everything Trump promised, he delivered on which I wasn't expecting because of how hard the up-hill battle was in D.C. and I knew that the media would take the other side of the story no matter what the truth. The bottom line is that terrible lies were told by democrats and the mainstream media about Rittenhouse with no journalistic due diligence involved. They weren't fair to him. They put him in danger with their rhetoric. And when he's found innocent of murder charges, these same instigators will also be responsible for all the injuries and deaths which occur should unwarranted riots break out. In my opinion, Rittenhouse will sue and become one of the wealthiest people in America just like Nick Sandmann (MEGA hat high school student), became after media outlets had to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for liable and slander. I guess CNN and MSNBC didn't learn their lessons from their coverage of Nick. According to their books, I'm not sure how much more money they'll have left in their coffers. They like to see CNN and MSNBC as competitors of Fox News but that would mean they'd have to be competitive. Fox blows away the other networks in ratings. My gosh, Fox News' Greg Guttfield is getting more viewers during his nightly show than Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Steve Colbert, How did this happen? My guess is that viewers got tired of all the politics on shows which are supposed to be entertaining. I used to watch late-night all the time, mostly Fallon, but I stopped because of so much politicking going on. I miss Carson and Leno! I can handle a narcissist if he or she can walk the talk and Trump did. His focus was on America getting its leverage back around the world and improving the lives of U.S. citizens and his record ended up being phenomenal because of his "America First," agenda. Democrats strangely hated this mindset even though there isn't a country in the world who doesn't think that charity begins at home. Why in the world should the U.S. not be selfish in some ways? Why should we be embarrassed going into negotiations with other countries knowing we're going to go after the best deal for us? Same thing has been going on for thousands of years with countries around the world and then all of a sudden, WOKE Dems think it looks bad for us to appear selfish. Obama apologized for our selfishness. Can you imagine how this made our country look like idiots? We sure do our part to help the rest of the world. We are the least selfish nation in the world; something I wish more democrats understood. The best thing we can do is to remain strong and thriving so we can continue to be a beacon around the world. So as America goes and grows, the world benefits. How many countries can you say that about? l say it again, I don't like Trump on a personal level because he's one of the most egotistical people I've seen in my life, but quite frankly since I had more discretionary income, the economy was booming, and I felt safe, I could deal with Trump's crazy antics. I would've been glad to kick him out if he wasn't getting the job done, but he was. I would like for you to think about something very important. Where have the terms "balanced budget," or "surplus budget," gone? Both parties have turned into irresponsible teenagers who burn holes in their pockets and in many cases, for personal financial gain through controlling the purse strings of thousands of liberal programs. Our representatives can't get any quid pro quo action if they have nothing of value so all these new programs Dems are pushing will provide outstanding career opportunities for family and friends of our legislators. Nothing new, it's been going on for years. Congress approves the budget with crazy "pork filled," line items and then there's no accountability on the other end. The wolf inevitably guards the hen house. The bottom line is that if we don't make radical changes to our political system, we're doomed. It's broken. Both parties have kicked the can on campaign reform down the road hoping the subject doesn't breach. Our court system has been compromised as well. Every day that we just sit back to see what happens, we lose leverage for correcting the problems. The answers to our problems cannot be found through the people who represent us. It's sad, but it's true. Many good people are in D.C. pulling their hair out trying to get things done in the system and even they know it's futile. Human nature (sin), has compromised foundational aspects of our Republic and it's time we all become patriots and make some sacrifices through our time and money, to get the job done. If not for ourselves, for all those who should be blessed with being born in the U.S. in the future. Sorry this post was so long. A lot on my mind! A whistle blower has stated that the DOJ went full bore in working with the White House and the National School Board Association in classifying parents as potential domestic terrorists threats . He had seen nothing move as quickly throughout the department. Garland lied under oath to Congress about it and instead stated that it was a routine matter that the DOJ was looking into while the whistleblower said it had already reached the point where certain parents were going to go under FBI scrutiny to get them cleared (in their words, the FBI "tagged," these parents). Did Garland not know this? I believe he did because if he didn't, then he'd already be lopping off heads in his department.
If you or I were to perjure ourselves in front of the House or Senate, we could do jail time. If we lied to the FBI, it would be a felony. And yet, the head of all of it, Garland, speaks with impunity and immunity. We've got to close down these crazy loopholes that these elite politicians are getting to stay out of prison. They've officially said: "Let them eat cake!", and are daring any of us to do something about it. One last thing. No one who was investigated during the Russian collusion campaign, was arrested for anything to do with the initial investigation. In other words, the government wants the authority to dig into your life looking for something wrong even if they don't have a clue what it is. Do you see how crazy this is? Do you see how dangerous this mentality is? Just an investigation alone, causes some irreputable damages because there will always be some who wonder about the individual's guilt because he or she doesn't have the whole/real story about what happened only the medias' narrative. Lives are being ruined because of the politics being played by the Democratic Party. Parents aren't domestic terrorists, far-left liberal zealots are. Let's tag them! In my opinion, the only ones who are truly guilty in reference to the Rittenhouse shootings, are the media and the political sway they have over prosecution teams in many Democratic controlled cities across our country. They should've never have charged him with any "Murder," counts as it was plain to see in video footage galore, that he was never the aggressor. Some things to think about:
1) Why did the media immediately go to a narrative that Rittenhouse was a racist? The crime had nothing to do with race, whites were killed, not African Americans, yet due to the bully pulpit democrats possess through the media there are still millions of Americans who still think a white boy killed some innocent blacks. What's funny is that I can see President Biden getting sued for liable and slander as he made a statement that Rittenhouse was a white supremist even though he knew absolutely nothing about the young man. I couldn't stand it when Trump weighed in on various legal issues regarding private citizens and this is why I'm disgusted in Biden as well. Let's not forget how Trayvon Martin would've looked like Obama's son if he ever had one. Sickening! 2) The prosecution has been caught doing a variety of sneaky (some are saying illegal), moves during this trial and with the exception of verbal reprimands the judge continues to let them slide without declaring a mistrial. Not that he still might do this. Having watched a lot of the trial footage, I can say that the prosecution team will encounter some form of punishment for their blatant attempt at politics and not law, order, and justice. Even if Rittenhouse is found guilty, there's no doubt he will win a new trial on appeal. 3) Lastly, I'd like for you to think about something because it goes on around liberal courts in our country constantly, and that is for political reasons, certain people were willing to destroy this innocent, young, man's life. Not unlike taking a man with a stellar reputation and coming up with lies to try and get him kicked out of being considered for the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh was the epitome of an Eagle Scout his entire life. He showed no signs of being bigoted or racist at anytime in his life. And once again, the lies didn't stick. Sure the media had run with the lies 24/7, but they quickly distanced themselves from their previous news coverage, unapologetically, and just moved on to the next narrative...not news, but narrative. How sad and scary it is, that we have to dig for the truth when it comes to anything related to politics. Anyone who accepts what it being shared by democrats and the media without question, is a danger to our Republic. I thought this testimony from Sheriff David Clarke was awesome.
"It's not the police who need to be retrained, it's the public. We have grown into a mouthy, mobile phone wielding, vulgar, uncivil society with no personal responsibility and the attitude of 'it's the other person's fault, you owe me'. A society where children grow up with no boundaries or knowledge or concern for civil society and personal responsibility. When an officer says "Put your hands up," then put your hands up! Don't reach for something in your pocket, your lap, your seat. There's plenty of reason for a police officer to feel threatened, there have been multiple assaults and ambushes on police officers lately. Comply with requests from the officer, have your day in court. Don't mouth off, or fight, or refuse to comply... that escalates the situation. Police officers are our sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters. They're black, white, brown, all colors, all ethnicities, all faiths, male and female, they are us. They see the worst side of humanity... the raped children, the bloody mangled bodies of traffic victims, the bruised and battered victims of domestic violence, homicide victims, body parts... day after day. They work holidays while we have festive meals with our families. They miss school events with their kids, birthdays, anniversaries, all those special occasions that we take for granted. They work in all types of weather, under dangerous conditions, for relatively low pay. They have extensive training, but they are human. When there are numerous attacks on them, they become hyper vigilant for a reason, they have become targets. When a police officer encounters any person... any person, whether at a traffic stop, a street confrontation, an arrest, whatever... that situation has the potential to become life threatening. You, Mr & Mrs/Miss Civilian, also have the responsibility of keeping the situation from getting out of control. Many law enforcement officers are Veterans. They've been in service to this nation most of their lives, whether on the battlefield or protecting us here at home. They are the only thing that stands between us and anarchy in the streets. |
