Stuff I've Learned...

Even though I've been around for eons, which is quite a long time, doncha' know, I've learned quite a bit of late.  Yep, perhaps more than at any other time, I've really, really learned so much in the past couple of years I feel compelled to share this newfound knowledge with you!  So here goes...  

  -   I've learned, for instance, that if you're a guy, and you'd like to win some fame and some money, you can now "identify" as a woman, compete against them in sport, beat them, take home their prize, and their money, and their fame, and the Progressive Left will applaud you.  Loudly.  And if you complain, you'll be accused of being homophobic and biased and racist and God only knows what else.

  -   I've learned that if you're a fat, grungy old pedophile and you'd prefer not to get caught in the act, but peeping on little girls is your thing, you can put on a dress and go into the women's changing room at Target now and ogle all you want.  Legally.

  -   I've learned that, even though China and India are to blame for more than 40% of all the world's atmospheric pollution, and that percentage is increasing, vs. our smallish 14%, and diminishing, eco-extremist climate Social Justice Warriors somehow wish to bankrupt not these other, guilty nations, just our own.  Is this some kind of Millennial Death Wish?  Do they just love China and India?  Or, is it that they just hate America that much more?  And if so, one must then ask, "why?"   

  -   I've learned that here in California you can have a free driver's license, and free food stamps, and a free college education, and free school for your kids, which we'll pay to birth, doncha' know, and lots of free rent subsidies, and freedom from towing when you're snagged for driving with no insurance, and cash-less bail when you get caught, and now, even free health care, including vision and dental!  But only if you're an illegal alien.  No veterans or citizens need apply.  They're no longer needed.  Nor wanted.  Except to pay increased mandatory premiums for the health insurance the illegals will now receive, for free, of course. 

  -  I've learned that most all of our 2020 Dem POTUS candidates have endorsed reparations for Black People.  Yes, my friends, once again they've trotted out this tired old meme so that they can pander to those who feel the world has somehow passed them by.  And the fault for that lay, the Dems are telling us, with some White people somewhere.  I'm wondering just how much it would cost each of us to finally pay off the "debt" incurred hundreds of years ago by people we never met, to placate some people we've never abused?  As in, I've never owned any slaves and you've never picked any cotton.  And if we did decide to pay this ransom, would it come with a guarantee that we'd never, ever, ever hear the word "racist" again?   

Of course, another way to handle it is for only Democrats to pay reparations.  After all, they were the Party of the KKK and slavery, and every single one of them voted against the Civil Rights Act.  Remember, more than 600,000 White northern soldiers died trying to end slavery.  Did you know that?  If not, why not?

  -   I've learned that there are 58,396 homeless persons in Los Angeles, California.  Or, roughly the size of the average NFL stadium's seating capacity.  The Golden State is not quite so golden anymore, is it?  The Liberal Progressive commie pinko weenies have discovered that if you're an "attractive nuisance," you attract a nuisance...  

They've "discovered" it, they just haven't done anything about it.  So, the good legal citizens of Lost Angeles are screaming and shouting and wading through fetid piles of feces and trying to recall its dumbass Mayor, while he's placing blame on "Climate Change."  I wish I was kidding... 

  -   I've learned you can get a year in jail and a $1,000 fine as a waiter for offering a diner a straw in Santa Barbara without first being asked, but you can vote there, and enjoy a seat on their city council, and engage in petty theft without prosecution, and live and eat and poop in the streets with abandon, but only if you're there illegally.

How does one get to be illegal, again?

  -   I've learned that every time anyone anywhere shoots up a church or a mall or a school, then honest, honorable, law-abiding firearm-owners must be punished for the transgressions of the guilty by increasingly infringing upon their individual Constitutional Rights to keep and bear arms.  Funny how that keeps happening...

  -   I've learned that California considers itself a "sanctuary" for all illegal aliens, everywhere.  And even though that's illegal and unconstitutional in and of itself, the fact that law enforcement officials in this state may not now - by law - cooperate with Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, means in my opinion the State is complicit in manifold crimes by illegals the State thereby shields.  And those crimes would include kidnapping, burglary, rape, assault and murder.  

Come one, come all, says the state.  "Bring us your tired, your hungry, your illegals, our future voters..."  

  -   I've learned that we Californians now pay an average of $1.00+ more per gallon of gas than the national average.  That's even though we're a net-exporter of crude and refined petroleum products.  And we're facing another $0.06 increase in July, plus an additional $0.72 bump in December.  Ummm, yeah.  Can you say $5.00 gas?  I knew you could.  I guess that's the "weather premium" we pay for the "privilege" of living in the once-Golden State.  Wouldn't it be nice if the gargantuan highway taxes we pay, the highest in the Nation, BTW, got us drivable highways?  Do you know they haven't built a new freeway here in 25 years?  

  -   I've learned that there are now, ummm, like 52 genders.  Maybe a bit more, maybe less.  That's approximately 50 more than I was taught in school.  I'm not quite sure what happened between my formal education and now that tended to expand the definition of "gender" from male and female, to a whole series of looney, idiotic, asinine, ridiculous, foolish, stupid pronouns that no normal, intelligent, reasonable human being with any sort of formal education at all would ever choose to use.  Which tells us...

  -   I've learned that just about the time that we've expanded our oil and gas drilling and shale oil extraction technologies to the point we're now a net exporter, people start buying $Overpriced electric cars to Save the Planet.  Cars which are fueled, via the grid, by coal-fired electricity generating plants to the tune of about half!  Do these dweebs think electricity flows for free out of the ether?

Yes, I think they do.       

  -  I've learned that being able to receive an abortion at anytime during - and apparently immediately after - birth now seems to be the Number One right pro-choice women really want.  From "safe, legal and rare," as Billy Jeff "Blue Dress" Clinton once called it, abortions should now be "safe, required and ubiquitous."  And I've learned also that these women and their fearless leaders do not consider the "rhythmic undulations" of in-utero fetuses as heartbeats, per the NYTimes.  Yeah, they just made up that term.  Hmmmm.  

Have you ever wondered why Democrats are so damned anxious to kill their prospective future voters?   

  -   And finally, I've learned that the Progressive Leftoids have finally figured out that firearms, minus ammunition, are nothing more than expensive paperweights.  That's why they've now saddled us Californians with "Prop 63," which requires us, as of July 1st, to undergo an expensive Federal background check each and every time we purchase ammunition!  You want a box of .22s to go out plinking?  Ordinarily about $5.00, to this you'll now have to add $1.00 for each transaction, plus $19.00 for each background check.  Plus any Federal charges they choose to impose, which could total another $25.00!  Sooooo, that box of .22s will now cost you upwards of six times what it costs anywhere else!  Is this an effort to price low income patriots out of being able to exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights?  You decide...

Oh yeah, I'm wondering how long it will be before citizen "buying groups," such as gangs like MS-13, or secessionists, or armed militias are formed to head for Vegas (or anywhere else!) with an empty trunk and a fist full of cash in an effort to "sidestep" this little scam?  Oh yeah, and they charge No Sales Tax in Vegas.  Might as well save some money...while you're saving some money...

I wonder what I'll learn next?  Stay tuned...
