Show Me the Money!

12/29/2020

 
Trump told Congress to send $2,000 checks (per adult member of household), and $1,000 per child to help us out. He said he didn't want it tied to anything; meaning no special interests projects (a.k.a. pork), by either Party. If they had other budget items to address, Trump wanted it negotiated separately. Basically, he didn't want political games, just quick relief for Americans and the $600 wasn't going to cut it. 

Congress did finally raise the direct relief amount but they did what they do and loaded the Bill with special interests. Of course they didn't do it and instead have come up with legislation which includes crazy, pork galore, such as sending $10 million dollars to Pakistan for gender studies. That's right. Dems threw all kinds of SJW money into the pot. How in the world does this gender study help you and me in the here and now, for the horrific situation we're in? It doesn't. 

And what really scares me is that Democrats want control of the Senate so they can make even crazier policy changes such as reparations for African Americans which would pretty much destroy race relations in our country. It's like Dems are intentionally trying to take our country down. Is it on purpose? Is it naivety? Is it complete ignorance and lack of common sense and logic? if they win the two seats in Georgia, they'll have what they need to transform our country. Do you want our country transformed? I hope not because although we aren't perfect, we are a great example to the rest of the world. We are a bright light for humanity.  

Not only will Dems bankrupt us, they'll also pass legislation that causes division among U.S. citizens over identity politics. They're masters at getting one group to attack another. They have women in their Party attacking men who have done absolutely nothing wrong except for I guess being born male. And I'm not just talking about men who are Republicans because as we've seen, white men in the Democratic Party have been given a seat in the proverbial "back of the bus." Why many of them haven't already left for a different political Party, is beyond me. The way they take a verbal beating time and time again for being "allegedly," disgusting men who want to hold women back, without debating their Party's ridiculous points, embarrasses me and I'm not even a Democrat.   


Their calls for unity over this election is laughable. Do they not know how absurd they sound? They shouldn't worry, I'll be just as nice to Biden as Dems were to Trump. That's only fair, right? Let's start with a long and expensive, investigation over the Biden's being spies for China. Hey, there's more evidence of this than Trump being a spy for Russia so I say let's dig into the story. Nobody in Trump's world took diamonds from leaders of another country (incognito), and then not reported it, like Hunter did. Let's dig into the people who are in Biden's family and who work for him to make sure they aren't spies either.

​Normally I'm not up for all this investigating stuff because it's mostly a political game, I'm just trying to be fair in how Biden gets treated compared to Trump because that's the kind of guy I am.  :)

Nola Ochs

12/23/2020

 
Nola Ochs was born on November 22, 1911, and is an American college graduate. Nothing seems amazing about this—until you learn that she graduated from Fort Hays State University in Kansas on May 14, 2007. When you put the math together, you will discover that she received her degree at the age of 95, making her a Guinness World Record holder as the world’s oldest college graduate! She graduated alongside her granddaughter, Alexandra Ochs, who was 21 years old at the time. But wait! She couldn't stop learning new things and received her master’s on May 15, 2010, making her the oldest recipient of a master’s degree.

Nola once told a news reporter, while she was in college, that when she graduated she wanted to be a storyteller on a cruise ship. After graduation, Princess Cruises hired her to be a guest lecturer on a nine-day Caribbean cruise. Oh, the stories she could tell.

I don't know about you, but it seems as if I lose some mental acuity each year. I'm just not as quick of a thinker as I used to be. Why Nola such a phenom, I don't know. The information she had to learn for both her degrees (she loved history), wasn't easy to remember. But, she kept plugging away. Why? Well, several reasons. She was from the greatest generation and when they said they were going to do something, they usually did it, it was a matter of integrity. She was planning on getting her degree in the early 30's but things happened, like The Great Depression. But her motivation was also to be a role model for her family and the many grandchildren and great grandchildren, she had.

By the way, Nola was pursuing another degree at a university in Japan in 2016, when she passed away at the age of 98. Her last address was in Dodge City, Kansas. They say the length of one's life is less important than its depth. Nola left a crater. 



Stop Preaching

12/23/2020

 
I love how young, professional, African American athletes, take the time to school us on morals. Hard to believe there's white privilege considering I'm aware of thousands of blacks who are millionaires and I couldn't come up with close to as many whites. Maybe it's mostly in the entertainment industry but that doesn't matter.

But what almost blows me away more than anything else, is that they try to act like they care about the downtrodden, when they're actually elitists. LeBron James fights for social justice while making around $490,000 for each game he plays in during the season. This means that based on his usual performance, he gets paid $32,000 for every two-point shot and $48,000 for every three point basket. In one night of playing basketball, nothing critical or serious, just basketball, LeBron makes as much as it takes an average citizen ten years to earn. Now, I'm not saying it is any of their faults for making the ridiculous amount of money they do, for once again, things that don't matter much in the scheme of things, but it does irk me that they don't seem to understand their double-standards. Those poor athletes and entertainers with their fist in the air signaling black power (yes, that is what it stands for), are privileged. Their children have the opportunity to attend private schools all the way through college.

The bottom line is that I'm sick and tired of being preached to no matter where I turn. I don't even watch ESPN unless there's a game on, because so many of their broadcasters in the studio, spend their time on racial politics. I wasn't tuning in to ESPN for their insight on this topic, I wanted insight into the games that are/were on that day.

​Television shows, movies, etc., seem to all have a social agenda. It's like we're constantly in class and they're rapping our knuckles with a ruler because we're deplorable and just don't get it. Bless our hearts, we have subconscious bias so we know not what we do.

How About a Single Set of Standards?

12/18/2020

 
Would Democrats and the media be okay if the roles were reversed and President-Elect Trump used his campaign resources to issue a statement by his son to try and clear his name?

How about if roles were reversed and it was found that a Republican had ties, and having sex with, a Chinese National and he was on the Intelligence Committee? Would it be a non-issue like Pelosi said today about California Democrat Eric Swalwell (habitual liar)? They're wildly saying it's a smear campaign that has already been investigated. It was looked into, but now it's going to be investigated. What? Why smear someone who has little influence and is known to be a young Shifty Schiff so no one pays attention?
​
Their lies aren't even good anymore. They're getting very slack. Maybe they realize the sheep are so out of it, that they don't need to try as hard anymore? One thing is for sure, with Democrats and the media, there's no glass ceiling on corruption.

Emotion Over Logic

12/18/2020

 
So I guess over 70 million (who knows the real number due to voter fraud), hated Trump so much that they weren't happy with the following: 1) Fantastic economy. 2) Historic peace agreements. 3) Fantastic prison reforms. 4) Higher incomes. 5) Historic lows in unemployment. 6) Historic trade agreements. 7) Other countries being required to pay their fair share of expenses such as with NATO.

The list of significant accomplishments goes on and on. But I guess an emotion of hatred outweighs the logic in understanding the fragility of our wellbeing. And here we've supposed to have evolved as mankind.

Sam Houston (1843 -1894)

12/18/2020

 
Sam Houston was a colorful and bold 19th-century American statesman, politician, and soldier. The seventh governor of Texas, he is known best for helping bring Texas into the United States.

His son, Sam Houston Jr., was born in 1843. He began service in the confederacy in 1861. On April 7, 1862, at the famous Civil War battle of Shiloh, Sam Houston Jr., was struck in the back by a bullet. He was knocked to the ground and would likely have died had it not been for his mother’s Bible, which he carried in his knapsack. Ripping through the pages, the lead ball stopped directly over the 70th Psalm, which reads, “You are my help and my deliverer” (verse 5).

After the war, Sam went to medical school in Pennsylvania and became a doctor. But he later gave up his practice for writing. He married Lucy Anderson, and the couple had three children. Years later, after his wife died, Sam became melancholy and went to live with his sister Margaret. After eight years he passed away at the age of 51.
​
Sam Houston Jr. was literally saved by the Word of God. The Bible he carried actually stopped a bullet. I believe we're under a spiritual attack. The weapons being used aren't guns and knives, worse, extreme liberal ideology. The spiritual warfare of Satan is subtle and meant to destroy us forever. Sorry, I know a lot of people don't like thinking there's a devil. God has provided Christians with armor and weapons and they are found in God's Word. Let's be great warriors for our Father. Let's read up and pray up. We're on the winning team...because we know in the end, love conquers all. Amen.

By the time I can drink in a bar again, Captain Morgan will be an Admiral. :) 

What Does It Mean?

12/18/2020

 
So Maggie throws a new one at me after getting upset (men insert any activity here and you know why I'm in trouble), by saying: "I'm going to hang you like a participle." The last time I heard this phrase was from Mrs. Rhoades who taught English. Not that she wasn't a good teacher, but to this day, I still don't know what a participle is.

North Face

12/18/2020

 
More idiots. The North Face company refused to produce company logo jackets for an organization in the oil and gas business. They do realize that it would be difficult finding any products they sale at The North Face that aren't petroleum based don't they? These new social justice warriors need to get their facts straight because that's embarrassing.

One Million

12/18/2020

 
Ancient Rome became the first city to reach a population of one million in 5 B.C. It would be more than eighteen centuries before the second such city, London, would reach that milestone in 1800.
