Memo To White Cops:

                Memo To White Cops:

Please stop shooting Black people!

No, not just Black men, all Black people!

You may shoot White people, if shooting people is absolutely necessary, and Asians, of course (does anybody shoot Asians anymore?), but please just stop shooting Black people!!!

As always, there is no "bag limit" on White people.

Yes, I know there were only 27 unarmed Black men shot by all cops, Black and White, in all of 2019.*  Another reliable Federal stat reports that number at only 9 Black men.**  Or roughly the same number of Blacks killed by errant gunfire each and every weekend in Chicago.  

And yes, I know that the so-called "MainStreamMedia," also known as the media arm of the Democrat National Committee, reports the preceding statistic as if thousands and thousands and thousands of poor Black doctoral students were gunned down in a hail of bullets by a platoon of out-of-control cops.  Even though that's quite obviously and provably a giant bag of Left-wing horsesh*t.  

What?  You think they actually report the truth?  Silly you...

Wouldn't it be nice if our "journalist" class, the only class protected by name in the Constitution, our vaunted "Fourth Estate," were to actually investigate a story and then report the facts?  For a change?  You know, like they used to do?  Remember Bernward and Woodstein?  Walter Cronkite?  Roger Mudd?  Yeah, me too.  I guess that was soooooo yesterday...  

BTW, the above statistic is available to anyone desirous of spending even one minute researching the facts.  I did, you can too.  And hey, Mr./Mrs./Ms./Other Journalist, you can find it on your laptop without ever leaving the comfort of your little subsidized Lower West Side loft.  Happy to do your job for you.  This time.  Don't let it happen again...   

Anyway, we all know that "they" are just waiting for the next poor Black person to be shot by a White cop.  Anywhere.  For any reason.  So that "they" can riot.  And those deluded enough into thinking that simply electing a cranky old empty suit who squints a lot as President would calm the Natives, you were wrong.  Here's why.  They just luuuuuuv to riot!  When given the chance to break loose and break things, it's hard to get them to stop.  That's because they like to break things and set fire to stuff and hurt people!  And they don't much care who owns it.  Or who knows it!    So just remember that appeasement doesn't work.  

Appeasers are the ones who get shot last...  

So in order to stop any future riots or marches or protests or murders or pillaging or plundering, caused by the shooting of a Black person, any Black person, by a White cop, any White cop, anywhere, just let them all go!  Don't intercede!  Don't get involved in any way!  

Although you might wish to applaud, should their performance as a criminal warrant (they're getting so much practice lately, what with "no cash bail" and all, they'd absolutely have to get good at it...).  That's entirely up to you.  They're robbing the local liquor store?  Let them go.  Coming at you, gun at the ready?  Turn around and run.  Trying to knife each other?  To death?  Just stand back and watch.  

Remember, we now know from that po' Black, Harvard-educated talking-head "lady" from the Hood on MSPMS, the  same one who proudly admits to jogging while wearing TWO masks, and those Clinton News Network folks, of course, that young Black girls engage in knife fights every single day before lunch.  And your attempting to intercede and take away their right to fight each other with knives is racist!  I'm guessing calling an ambulance would be racist, too.  In fact, anything you do at anytime, anywhere, for any reason, at all, is RACIST!  

So you, Pilgrim, just stay out of the way.  It's their cultural norm.  None of your business.  If they kill each other, that's their birthright as poor Black people, we're told.  By rich White and Black people safely ensconced behind bullet-proof glass, sipping their nice, unassuming little chablis...  

Oh yeah, you might want to provide the public service of calling the coroner, should the knife fight render it necessary.

Here's the operative White cop rule:  

You cannot get fired or charged with murder if you don't shoot them in the first place.  

And God knows, with hundreds and hundreds of Blacks dying each year in Chicago, as an example, with nobody seeming to give a sh*t, why should you?

"Systemic Idiocy"

                         +++++++  //////  \\\\\\  +++++++

Have you noticed?  The socialists who are running things here in America keep accusing us all of being racists.  Joe O'Biden tells us we're all racists.  His Sidekick Harris tells us the same thing.  Except she seems happy about it.  That po' Haaavid educated Black lady on MSPMS tells us White people we're all racists.  The "Single White Female" who conducts press conferences at the White House tells us we're all racists.  Jeeesh!  I'm beginning to get a complex!

They accuse us of living in a place where there's "systemic racism."  Now, I don't know who coined that term, most likely a wimpy little pantywaist who's never been out of Foggy Bottom, but look up its definition on Google.  It uses the word "racism" in the definition of "systemic racism."  I was always taught by my beloved English teacher, Ms. Wall, that if you have to use the word you're trying to define in the definition, you're basically full of s*it.

She didn't say that, I did.  But hey, we already knew that.  Let's get past that.  And I'm here to try...

I've decided that instead of getting my hackles up at being constantly called a racist, because, as they say, I live in a place where racism is endemic, I'll turn the tables and agree.  I've decided that there are really "Two Americas."  Not the Two Americas then-Dem POTUS candidate and busy philanderer John Edwards used to carp about, but the Two Americas that exist between those Left-wing bomb-throwers who are calling the shots, with their hands on the levers of power, and the other half of America which has no problem whatsoever with race.  

Including mine.

It seems if you live on the Upper West Side, or the tony Hamptons, or in San Fran Nan's San Franpoopco, or where the Hollywierd stars all hang out, and you look all around you,  you see racism.  Everyone is a racist!  The doorman is racist.  Your driver is racist.  Your nanny is a racist.  Your boss is racist, even though he's Black.  The guy who tunes your Aston Martin is a racist.  Fox News is racist.  Tucker Carlson is a racist.  Everyone who doesn't live in the "right place to live," is a racist.  

All Republicans are racist.  Trump was a racist, the "Big Orange Racist," and everyone he ever met is a racist.  And their "MainStreaMedia" will report the "news" as if they and their chosen political party are pure, and all those "other people" are racists.  So yes, to them, their Amerika is really a safe enclave from the Barbarians at the Gate.  Just think of it this way:  everybody but them is a racist.

And don't you forget it.  

Oh yeah, if you find yourself disagreeing with either my accusation or my chosen remediation, then you probably get your news from Yahoo and Google.  And it's you for whom I feel sorry.

So we don't need to "fix" America's so-called "systemic racism" problem, because in my opinion, one doesn't exist. "They"  very well might, but "we" very clearly do not.  So I would say their continued harping on the subject is either a strategy to help their preferred Democrat Party, or they should get out more.  Take a drive out past the Hudson River Bridge.  Go out into the hinterlands.  Places where ordinary folks live and work and play.  Places where they build cars and grow wheat and fell trees and farrier horses (look it up).  Places where they build houses and fill prescriptions and drive trucks.  And places where they think your brand of politics, most likely, is laughably weirdly dangerously scarily humorously, way off base.

As if you even care.

So here's the deal, as they say.  We aren't "systemically racist," whatever that is.  You might be, and likely are, if you even bring it up.  Remember Bull Connor was a Democrat.  Remember the Ku Klux Klan was started and manned by the Democrat Party.  Remember that every Democrat voted against the 1966 Voting Rights Act.  Remember your fair haired boy Sen. Robert Byrd, was the "Exalted Cyclops" of the KKK.  He was a Democrat senator for more than 50 years, and drew raves at his passing by nearly all those serving today.

Including Joe O'Biden.  And his boss Obama.

So no more finger pointing, shall we?  You go ahead be a racist if you want to.  You may well be a racist if you live in NYC.  Or SFO.  Or LAX.  Or any of the other socialist strongholds.  But from now on I intend to just ignore you when you set about  spewing accusations like a fire hose.  And I recommend my fellow Conservatives do the same.  Just ignore them!  Tell them you know their little secret.  That you always blame others for the things you yourselves are doing.  Tell them to come back when they've grown up and wish to join with us as a contributing member of society...  

Until then, in my book, they'll all have "systemic idiocy."   

"Fauci Forever!"

                       "Fauci Fun Day!"

Can't get enough of Dr. Fauci?  Happy he's in charge of America's answer to the Chinese Wuhan Killer Coronavirus?  Do you swoon every time "Dr. Tony" takes to the mic and equivocates?  When he tells you wearing a mask is not necessary, until he tells you it is?  Wish there was a way you could see our "Favorite Fysician" in person?  

Well read on, fellow Patriots!  Your day is just about to be made...

Even though you've seen Dr. Anthony Fauci every Sunday morning on every single "talking head" political show, on every single TV channel for the past 15 months or so, there's a chance you've still not reached your fill.  Yes, my friends, you know that our Dr. Fauci, "America's doctor," is here to represent you.  Sort of like the Lone Ranger, riding down out of the hills to rescue you from the, ummm, Indigenous Personages, Dr. Fauci has been there for us every single step of the way.  Since the pandemic overtook our puny, insignificant lives, good ol' Dr. Tony has been there to protect us.  For which we thank him collectively.  Please bow your heads in a quiet remembrance...

But wait, there's more!  

For those who've yet to reach their "Dr. Tony" fill, and who'd like to have him at your next birthday party or bar mitzvah or graduation, listen up!  For the unbelievably small price of only $1,495.00 plus tax, plus first-class travel and lodging, of course, Dr. Tony will pop out of YOUR cake!  Or toot the ram's horn!  Or debase himself in any other way you or your group might find enjoyable to watch!  He'll speak for 8 to 10 minutes, sign autographs, and offer signed and dated, individualized and numbered face masks in numerous colors at only $5 each, and then be on off to spread his own special brand of cheer.

So call today and book your special "Fauci Fun Day!"  Remember, Dr. Tony Fauci, although America's highest paid civil servant at a tad more than $414,000,000 per year, works really hard and could still use some more.  

I hear his wife's spending necessitates it...

MOLON LABE!

Way, way back in time there was a war between the Persians and the Spartans.  

No, they were not football teams.  They were countries.  The Persians were the Big Dog on on the block back then, and they attacked the much-smaller Sparta.  Why?  Because they were the Big Dog, that's why.  And that's what Big Dogs do.

When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail...

Among the laconic phrases attributed to Plutarch, the Greeks' go-to "Man on the Street" reporter back then, sort of the 5th Century, A.D.'s version of Jim Acosta, was the comment made in writing from Xerxes of Persia to Leonidas of Sparta.  It seems Xerxes, Persia's king, demanded that Leo, Sparta's leader, turn over all of his weapons.  All his swords and shields and spears and such.  Otherwise, his wicket was going to get very sticky...  

Anyway, Leonidas' response to Xerxes was classic.  He said, "Molon Labe."  That means, roughly, "Come and take them."  

Pithy, right?

Xerxes, it seems, just could not take a joke.  So he attacked Leo and his Gang at Thermopolae back in 480 bc.  If you saw "The Battle of the 300" you know that the Spartans inflicted heavy casualties on the much larger Persians for three long days.  However, Xerxes had more bodies than Leo had arrows so he finally emerged victorious.  But Leo's cryptic response to Xerxes that day will form the basis for this particular rant.  Okay.  Ready?  Here goes...

               + + + + + + + + + + + + + +  ++

Why do I tell you all of this, fellow Pilgrim?  Besides being another opportunity to show off both my encyclopedic knowledge and my amazing memory, of course?  Because O'Biden and his gang of sycophants are coming for our guns.  And no, I'm not being paranoid.  It was once said, you're not paranoid if they're really after you.  And trust me, they're really after you.  

The most onerous bunch of new anti-gun laws just passed the House and are on their way to the Senate.  And their ultimate goal is to force you to turn in your firearms.  Or render virtually unusable the ones you have.  Or both.  Will you go along with that?  Would you give in to bogus laws that are blatantly unconstitutional?  Even if it meant the gutting of your 2nd Amendment Rights, forever, without due process?  

It will be interesting to watch how the electorate behaves once those they've installed in office, those who live and work and play in "bubbles" like D.C., under armed guard, paid for by you, the Taxpayers, pass laws to make them far less safe.  

I ask again:  Why is it that those who live behind walls and are protected by guns want to remove our walls, yours and mine, and take away our guns?

In closing, I'm wondering if anyone would actually turn in their firearms if O'Biden somehow managed to outlaw them?  Do you think a significant number will go along with a so-called "buy-back" program?  Do any of you think, while the Democrats are emptying the prisons, and eliminating our border enforcement, we'd be stupid enough to hand over our guns?  All together now...  

Molon Labe!

"...From The Consent Of The Governed."

Thomas Jefferson was one very smart guy, I'm sure you'll agree.*

He wrote some of the more dramatic and important documents during our Country's Founding, beginning with this one:

     "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.  That to secure these Rights, governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed."

(Above underlines mine)

The foregoing was from the text of the Declaration of Independence.  And the reason I bring it up this fine day is for its last line; "...deriving their just power from the consent of the governed."  What Mr. Jefferson was telling us with these words is that we appoint folks to represent us in a Representative Republic, which is exactly what we have (if your best buddy tells you we have a democracy, find another best buddy...).  And those folks enact rules and regulations and laws and such to govern our puny lives.  And if they do a good job, most likely we never, ever hear about them.  

Ever.

But if they screw up, like politicians are wont to do, and as they've been doing wholesale these days (Cuomo?  Witmer?  Bottoms?  DeBlasio?), then you and I, that would be "We," as in "We, The People," reserve the Right to withdraw our consent.

Sort of like the good citizens of California are in the process of doing with their "Boy Guv" Gavin Newsom, and those of Minneapolis will likely try to do with their "Boy Mayor" Jacob Frey.  Voted in because of their perfectly-quaffed hair, or their Dentyne smile, or their good looks, or what freebies they promise to deliver, best believe this; between the two of them they couldn't pour piss out of a boot. 

But then there's O'Biden's offering.  He's now (in)famous for his attempt at the Declaration at a Texas campaign stop with, "We hold these truths to be self-evident.  All men and women are created equal.  And, you know the thing!..." 

My dear departed Mom would have said to that, "Bless his little heart."

So We, the People give our permission to elected representatives to make decisions on our behalf.  We, the Governed, give our consent.  And here's an example of that consent:  The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution tells us flat-out that "...the Right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."  Not occasionally, not most of the time, not NEVER!  However, Mr. O'Biden has just told us, looking squintingly for the camera lens, perhaps trying to find it, that "No Amendment is absolute."  That none of them, he says, are anything but "Words on a paper," he said, which he or other Progressives can change at will.

"And, you know, the thing!"  

In fact, I so "think not," and am so outraged at this un-American comment, that I hereby withdraw my consent.  If anyone out there in Internet-land knows him or anyone close to him, please let them know of my decision.  He just issued a bunch of fluffy Executive Orders masquerading as a rule or regulation I'm supposed to follow.  I think now's as good a time as any to let it be known I shall not.  But thanks a lot for asking, Joe.  Get back to me when or if you have other ideas for how we might Constitutionally keep folks away from guns if they shouldn't have them.  Oh yeah, and keep the subject of guns away from politicians when they absolutely have no business talking about it.  

Like you, Joe...

The "consent of the governed."  We are the governed.  You and me.  They, the people we hire to govern us, had better get their collective act(s) together.  For until or unless they do, I'll/we'll just kindly take back our consent, thank you.........  

*  If you happened to wander onto this little unassuming blog posting from the HuffPo, or The Daily Beast, or Axios, he was one of our Founding Fathers.  One of the folks who helped build America.  That racist and homophobic country you despise so much.  Something you probably didn't care to know...

"NoCanGo!"

(Although, fellow Patriots, I'm frequently quite proud of my rants on this unassuming little brain purge, I think this one is destined to go in the pantheon of Great Blog Entries.  Let me know if you agree...)

                    //////////   +++++   \\\\\\\\\\

You've probably noticed that the price of gas has been steadily rising.  That's because our new President Joe O'Biden has shut down the pipelines and the oil wells, lest AOC and her crowd get mad at him.  

And we sure wouldn't want that, now would we?

And also good ol' "supply and demand" economics, which Liberal brains are not wired to understand, means we're destined to now pay ever-higher prices.  And we citizens will therefore have to do everything in our power to save fuel whenever and wherever we can.

And that's why I'm so pleased to introduce the brand-new "NoCanGo!"  This remarkable device is designed to increased your car's gas mileage by as much as 30%, or even more!  (Don't you just love it when they say "as much as, or even more?"  Yeah, me too...)  How do we do it?  Read on...

We don't succeed at saving your gas and our planet's environment by simply conjuring up some high-tech device to strettcchhh out your gas-buying dollar.  Or some additive you put in your tank that's "Guaranteed to save you 30%!"  No no, fellow put-upon members of the motoring public, we do it using modern-day electronic technology!  The "space age" answer to increased gas mileage.  Ready?  Here goes...

We send you a special computer chip for you to install in your car's key fob.  It will deactivate your key two full, 24-hour days a week, all by itself!  

That's right, fellow motorist, two out of seven days you'll be locked out of your car and unable to burn that awful hydrocarbon-based pollutant all the way to work and back.  And you can't tell your boss what day that will be, as it's chosen completely by the random assignment of artificial intelligence.  Which is kind of like by chance.  And your boss can't bitch about it because he should let you work remotely, anyway (what kind of an evil bastard is he?)  And if he did, you could drop a dime on him.  It would blow up social media and a mob of crazed enviro-whackos would be on his front lawn by daybreak, threatening to burn down his house and murder his family.  No, my fellow Patriots, the chip we install in your key will now decide when you can drive.  And therefore when you can work.

And when you can't...

Can't you just feel the increased gas mileage now?  And can't you just imagine how much money you'll save from not being able to drive?  And if you'd like to be among the truly elite, the absolute cutting-edge of technology, simply upgrade your order to our "Elite" model and our chip will make your key fob hide itself another day a week!  

And although we'll provide you with a Customer Service 800#, don't bother calling to try and talk us into opening your car.  We Will Not Budge!  

Come on now, be among the very first on your block to reserve your brand-new "NoCanGo!" today!    

(NOTE:  Investors are desired!  I believe those dumb enough to cough up $125,000 for a little electric plaything car made by a dope-smoking, South African, rocket-addled billionaire, at exactly the same time our Country has finally found its energy independence from those in the world who hate us and want us dead, for the very first time in more than 70 years, will most likely be dumb enough to buy our product as well.  Call today and let's talk about your equity position!)

A Tale of Two Politicians...

The Conservative:  Once upon a time there was a disgruntled businessman.  He owned a lumberyard, or a used car lot, or a pharmacy, or a farm.  Or he toiled at one of one those businesses, for "The Man."  And he looked all around him and he saw that things were not quite right.  People were working harder than ever and keeping less and less of what they earned.  And he thought "The Government" was less and less interested and accountability to its voters.  He thought that our freedoms were being attacked by the Liberal Elite, and he was pissed about it.  And it seemed to this businessman that Gummint was catering to illegal aliens, not homeless vets.   And to the "rich," and not the Middle Class.  He said to himself over and over, "One of these days I'm gonna' go to Washington and change things!"  

And then one day he "pulled the trigger," so to speak (being a gun owner and 2nd Amendment activist).  He announced his candidacy for (name your elective Federal office) and began to campaign.  He promised from his "soapbox" that if his constituency voted for him, he'd go to Washington and "change things."  

And lo and behold!  He won!  And he went to Washington, D. C. and tried and tried and tried, but still could not effectuate meaningful, positive change.  He became more and more exasperated and despondent after a couple of terms at how bloated and unamanageable Washington had become, while all the Liberals around him were growing ever more gleeful as the Country deteriorated them.   

And so he quit the Congress and went back to the used car lot, or the lumberyard, or the pharmacy, or the farm, and got back to work, feeding his family, and likely many, many others.  He busted his ass for the rest of his natural life until he dropped dead one day from a myocardial infarct.  That's heart attack for you undereducated social media users (read a book, dumbass!).  And then the Gummint, after having picked this guy's pocket his entire life, proceeded to then tax his heirs to the tune of one-half of whatever he'd accumulated while he grew a'moulderin' in the grave...

The End.

                     ///////////////////   +++++++++   \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The Liberal:  Once upon a time there was a Liberal who was unhappy with his lot in life.  He was a postal collector, or a union leader, or a community organizer, or a lawyer, and he was not at all happy with the way things were going.  He wasn't happy that some hedge fund managers were making $Billions while he was only making $Millions.  Or that his new raise to $15 an hour for being an excellent shift leader at Woke-a-Burger STILL won't feed Starbright and the kids.  Or that his annual food stamp allotment was cut back.  Or that the state won't give him a new cell phone.  Or that making unfettered abortions available to girls everywhere is unpalatable to some stuffy Conservatives.  Or that his uncle's cousin's nephew's sister had been killed by gunfire in a drive-by in south Chicago and she wants all guns banned.  Everywhere.  Including those in Cuba and North Korea.  

And so, after years of careful thought, he decided to run for office and finally make things right.  And lo and behold!  His constituency voted him in!  And he went to Washington, D. C. for some of that Hope and Change!  

And he discovered that our pesky old Constitution kept him and his cohorts from instituting the radical change they truly desired.  You know, the kind of stuff they do in Cuba and China and Venezuela.  So all he and his sycophants could do was continually nibble around the edges of Constitutional acceptability, moving us ever closer and closer to socialism.  

And so, despite his inability to enact the "change" he desired, which was terribly disconcerting to him and all his fellow hand-wringers, he stayed in Washington, being reelected year after year, until he was offered a plum position running a Super-Pac, making a couple of $Mil a year.  Which he took, and used that springboard to replace the Most Reverend Alfonso Sharpton on MSPMS.  He wound up buying a mansion on the water in Maryland, right next to Joe O'Biden's, and retired a multi- $(M/B)ilionaire.  

Because to a Liberal, you see, the act of just GOING to Washington, D. C. to "change" things is an end in and of itself.  Odds are you couldn't blow a Liberal out of his/her/its elective office with a hand grenade!  Think about it:  Joe O'Biden, as an example, was elected to the Senate at the ripe-old-age of 29!  After having graduated somewhere near the bottom one-tenth of his class.  And after nearly being kicked out of law school for plagiarism.  And he's been in Washington, D. C. ever since!  That would be 49 years to you, fellow Patriots!  It's like hitting the lottery!  Many have.  Many more will.  And that's why America is not a perfect country...

The End.

Just Blow It!

It seems to me everyone is missing something rather obvious, and ominous.

The blow-dried, talking head "scientists" on certain cable TV channels tell us over and over that we have "only 12 years to live."  And some say it's only 10.  And Climate Scientists like Alexandria Occasional-Cortex, the famous Capitol Hill bartender, tells us it's only 8!  "Unless," they add, "We are willing to institute draconian, job- and life-killing new laws and rules and regulations to destroy our puny, insignificant proletariat lives by ending the use (and abuse, in their estimation) of hydrocarbon-based energy."  As in, stop drilling for oil.  Entirely!  What's the "existential threat" we face?  "Global warming?"  Or is it now "Climate change?"  

I guess that means they believe that the climate changes.  I would wholeheartedly agree.  Just not as much as they seem to think it does... 

Well, it seems to me that we're all going to die a in a fiery Hell unless or until we pass new laws turning American into Venezuela, which I kind of doubt will happen.  So, if we're really headed down that pathway, why not just give up and decide to stop throwing money at that 401(k), and stop saving that 10% off the top, and stop tithing or putting a few extra bucks away under the mattress for that rainy day, and just...

                        ...BLOW IT! 

If we only have 12 years to live unless the Gummint undertakes to destroy our way of life by deconstructing some 240 years of our industrial and economic and social progress, then now might be the time to blow our savings and party like it's 1999!  

Go buy that new Corvette!  Dump the wife and hit on the boss's secretary!  Take that extended cruise!  Get that tummy and eye tuck!  Become a beachcomber in Fiji!  I mean, there's no sense saving if we're all going to die!  And while we're at it, why raise taxes on the rich or anyone else if we're all going to die?  And thus, I ask rhetorically, why try to pass any new legislation at all when we're all going to die?  Why go to work or collect taxes or anything else when we're all going to die?  

Why do anything but lay on a beach and suck down raspberry margaritas and smoke dope if we're all just going to die?  

So, join with me, fellow Patriots, and suggest to AOC and her fellow sycophants that they take my advice and simply Blow It!  

It would sure be fun to watch, wouldn't it?  

New Pursuits...

I told a very old, very Liberal friend of mine I'd spent all of last year trying to convince folks not to vote against their best economic and political interests.

They did, however.

So I've now decided to involve myself in other, more interesting and potentially rewarding pursuits.  The very same pursuits I've been putting off so that I could bang the drum and wave the sign and beg and plead for folks not to believe that a scrawny old guy with a pen should be preferable to an Orange Man with a tweeter.

These pursuits would include:

     -  Finding Out If Bigfoot's Real:  I've been wondering.  It seems that intelligent folks have been seeing this cryptid, all over North America, for centuries.  There's even some video, such as it is, that may help to convince some of us.  I, for one, believe it's real.  I prefer to think that, if for no other reason than it's exciting!  It's exciting to think there might be another completely different species wandering around, unimpeded, in our own back yard.  Of course, that "back yard" consists of about 10 million acres, but anyway, I'm going to learn more about it.  My expectation is that the reason they're making themselves so scarce is that they're upset over having their feet called "big."  Remember, Cryptids have feelings too...

     -  What About UFO's?  Now that our very own Federal Gummint has recently issued a formal announcement declaring them "unidentified," as opposed to a "hoax," I have to believe they're real.  My only question is, where do they go when they're not flitting around all hither and thither and yon?  Me thinks it's under the back side of Catalina Island.  There's nothing back there but Bison and sheep, so that's a good place for them to hang out.  I'm gonna' go back there and look for myself...

     -  Running My Attack Gerbil Training Facility:  You might think that one gerbil trained to attack would be insignificant.  You'd be right.  One little gerbil gnawing about your heels would pose no major threat.  But 300 of them?  Would you really want 300 gerbils with sharpened teeth and those tiny little plastic cocktail swords coming after you?  I thought not.  I'm pretty close to getting our military interested in the possibilities, however.  Can you imagine a couple of thousand killer gerbils dropped over North Korea, with orders to eat Kim Jong the Un?  We're talking Pay-Per-View, here folks!

I'm guessing these little hobbies should keep me occupied until time for the next Election.  And if I hit upon some Earth-shattering info about Bigfoot or The Greys or how to sharpen plastic cocktail swords, I'll get back to you.  

Until then, as you were...

Things That Make You Go...Hmmmm...

I keep a list of stuff that makes me go hmmmm.  The following stuff made that list.  Perhaps they'll made your list as well...

     -  Do you have to be whelmed, to be overwhelmed?  Just asking for all the taxpayers.

     -  No matter how deep the well, or how long the rope, it's how you dangle the bucket that counts.  Think about that one for a little bit...

     -  Never judge with a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.  Then, if you still cannot come to terms with him, you'll be a mile away, and you'll have his shoes...

     -  Since I understand that illegal aliens are paying coyotes some $7,000 to $8,000 per body to guide (wade? point? herd?) them across our porous Border, I'm thinking it might be better to just have them pay that cash directly to the U. S. Treasury.  We could put Federal Cashiers right there at the Border to collect the money.  Just imagine; a clerk with a cash register every few hundred yards, ready and willing to scoop up their cash.  Credit Cards gleefully accepted.  Since we know good ol' Joe O'Biden will do and say anything he can to open our borders wide (so many almost-citizens, so little time!), we might as well cut off a major source of funding for the cartels and help generate a couple of bucks off this deal...

     -  Mr. and Mrs. O'Biden go into a Georgetown restaurant.  The waiter asks, "What will you have, Mrs. O'Biden?  She says, "I'll have the t-bone steak, medium rare, please."  "Excellent choice," says the waiter.  "And the vegetable?,"  he asked?  "Oh, he'll have the same..."

     -  If you don't think we're overtaxed, 8 out of 10 of the biggest construction cranes in America are now in use in and around Washington, D.C., all busy building building after new building, with your tax money.  80%.  Seems like the business of Government is good business...

     -  "There's so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us..."  My Mom's favorite saying.

     -  Today I noticed my first brand-new, 2021 Ford Mustang "Mach-E."  Think of it:  A $60,000 electric Mustang.  It looked for all the world like a plump-ish Honda Crossover jelly bean.  Every bit as boring and confused looking, however.  And utilitarian.  But quicker than O'Biden avoids a question.  Not kidding.  Putting an electric motor in a Mustang.  Is nothing sacred?  Absolute proof you can fool some of the people some of the time...

     -  There are two kinds of people in this world.  The kind that categorizes people into two kinds, and that other kind.

     -  I wonder when the next time a businessman will put his fame and fortune on the line and run for President?  We're told Trump left office worth less than half that when he was elected.  Seems like the half of America that hates his kind of freedom will work overtime to punish anyone who disagrees with their perspective.  Attempting to "pay back" America can come at a high price, now can't it?

     -  If we only have 12 years to live, as our Climate Scientist, mixologist and "Green New Deal" proponent Alexandria Occasional-Cortex and her "sky is falling!" friends are telling us, I kind of wonder why we keep putting $'s into our 401(k)'s?  Or saving for that "rainy day?"  In fact, I think it might be a good idea to take that money out from under the mattress and blow it!!!!  Go to Vegas!  Buy a new Corvette!  Hit on the boss's wife!  Why live in moderation when we're about to no longer...LIVE? 

     -  Minivans are for people who buy SUV's to avoid the stigma associated with minivans...

     -  What do you do if your country has found energy independence for the very first time since the 1950's?  If you're Joe O'Biden, you whip off a few Executive Orders and make that country once again dependent for oil upon Saudi Arabia and Venezuela and Russia.  That country would be, ummm, America.  Still happy about your vote?

     -  It may have been tough before, but can you imagine how difficult it is now for bank security guards?  With everybody wearing a mask?  How about those 7/11 cashiers?  Everybody in the store wearing a mask except the little Southeast Asian cashier (I'm too "woke" to say "Indian," like Joe O'Biden)?  Wouldn't that leave everybody a bit on edge?

     -  Vegans won't eat meat, but they'll apparently eat look-alike hamburgers made out of a "plant-based" material, made to look like, sizzle like, brown-up like and taste like...hamburger.  Wha...?  How would they know if it didn't?

     -  Could somebody tell me where I'm going to plug in my little $150,000 Tesla when all the oil wells are capped and the coal mines are shuttered and the atomic power plants are decommissioned...and there's nothing left to power the power plants...except wind and solar?  That Volkswagen will begin to look mighty good when that time happens...     

     -  Let's see now.  The taxpayer underwrites the cost of delivering our mail to the tune of about $2 Billion Dollars a year.  The U. S. Postal Service loses that much money annually.  Yet, UPS, DHL and Amazon, for example, all use the U. S. Postal Service to deliver their packages.  Wait now...  You've been choosing FedEx instead of the Post Office for your package deliveries, but FedEx has been choosing the Post Office to deliver to you?  Why doesn't the Post Office just raise prices on those package delivery services enough to no longer need a cash infusion every year from you and me, the taxpayers?  And force those needing package delivery to pay all the costs without the taxpayers' help?  The ones who don't use package delivery services.  Maybe they'll go bankrupt and the P.O. will start turning a profit?  Good question, no?

     -  Major League Baseball has chosen to move their little "All-Star Game" because they don't like Georgia's new voting law.  Ummm, when, exactly, did corporations' boards of directors' decide to get involved in politics?  Knowing, presumably, that their actions would piss off at least half their customers, and cost them tons of money?  Especially if the reason for their action proved to be bogus?  Oh, to be a fly on the wall at the next Delta and Coca-Cola board meetings...

     -  You know you're "up there" in age when you don't purchase extended warranties on stuff you buy...because you don't expect to live long enough to need them.

     -  An for the very first time in history, a U. S. President declared economic warfare on one of our U. S. States because he disagreed with one of its legally-passed laws.  Economic warfare that has already cost that State more than $100 Million Dollars.  And he's also given cover for Major League Baseball to "cancel" Atlanta for the "All-Star Game."  My prediction?  This will backfire spectacularly!  Imagine, baseball.  The First truly "Blue" Sport... 

And these are from just a couple of weeks!  Folks, I gotta' million of 'em!  And if you appreciate what I do for you...I mean really, REALLY appreciate it, enough to to write me a check, I mean...No, just kidding there.  Sorry...my deep-seated belief is that I was a Narco-terrorist or a Barbary pirate in another lifetime.    

However in this one, I remain, yours truly,

"The Chuckmeister" 

"Boycott"

If you've never heard of Captain Charles Boycott you're probably not alone.

He was the "agent of process" for the absentee landlord of a bunch of tenements in long-ago Ireland.  The landlord ordered Boycott to increase the rents.  When he tried to collect them, he discovered that the tenants had all gotten together and decided to simply not pay.  That act of civil disobedience would thereafter be known as our very first "Boycott."

Bringing that concept up to date, Georgia just fine-tuned its voting laws.  Its legislature said the changes it recently and legally voted into law will make voting easier and cheating harder.  Unsurprisingly, Democrats have howled in protest!  They Do Not want it made harder to cheat at voting.  So they got Faux Governor Stacey Abrams to corral local corporations in an effort to try and force the Georgia legislature to rescind the new law.  When new Georgia Governor Kemp told her those heavy-handed efforts will not work and for them to pound sand, its been reported that "Gov." Abrams was the one who then convinced Major League Baseball's Commissioner to pull the "All-Star Game."  

Well Whooooweee!  Everything just flew apart like a Woolworth watch!  Taking the game from Atlanta without notice will cost that city more than $170,000,000!  If you want to have some measure of the impact, MLB just cancelled its reservations for the 8,000 Atlanta hotel rooms they had intended to use!  And then MLB told us all the Game would be played now in Denver.  

BTW, Atlanta is 51% Black.  Denver is 9% Black.  

The Boycott against Atlanta is being led by Delta Airlines and Coca-Cola.  But they're not the only ones.  I believe you should be sufficiently pissed at this whole audacious gob of bullsh*t to want a more complete listing of those corporations stupid enough to leave the business arena and enter the political arena.  Sort of like, if you need a list of "who not to do business with," not that I'm suggesting a Boycott here, you understand, but if you're so inclined, as am I, here it is:

     -  Aflac

     -  American Express

     -  Apple

     -  Atlanta Falcons (?)

     -  Atlanta Hawks (??)

     -  Blackrock Corp.

     -  Cisco

     -  Coca-Cola (Pepsi's tasting better every day)

     -  Citibank

     -  Delta Airlines  

     -  Facebook

     -  Google

     -  Major League Baseball (Our first "Blue" sport!)

     -  Merck

     -  Microsoft

     -  Patagonia

     -  Porsche

     -  Salesforce

     -  Twitter

     -  United Airlines

     -  United Parcel Service

     -  Viacom/CBS 

Something tells me there's at least one more shoe to drop on this one...

Ain't No Fun When The Rabbit Got The Gun!

A dusty cowpoke wandered into the Long Branch Saloon back in the Old West one day, bellied up to the bar, and just happened to accidently bump into the stranger next to him.  What do you suppose he said?

"Excuse me, sir!"

That was because that stranger next to him was well armed.  And so was he.  And so was everyone else in the place.  And he didn't want his ass shot off by someone he'd offended. Someone he'd "disrespected."  And so the potential kerfuffle ended before it began, because an armed society is a polite society... 

I have a question.  Don't you think it might be a good idea to start making potential mass shooters afraid of their potential mass victims?  Instead of us cowering in fear, how about we make prospective murderers cower in fear?  I'll show you how...

A crazed bozo shoots up a supermarket.  Or a mosque, or a shopping mall, or a church.  Within seconds you'll find Democrats with microphones in their faces calling for more gun control.  They'll say once again we should remove from the potential mass shooter the tools of his potential mass crime, and he won't commit it!  Hey, I have an idea:  

Instead of scaring the public about guns in the hands of crazy people, how about we start making potential shooters scared shi*less of guns in the hands of their potential victims?

They are in Florida, because Florida has a vibrant and effective and popular concealed weapons carry system.  This has resulted in some 1,150,000 Floridians now packing heat.  That means more than 6% of all Floridians are carrying concealed.  

More than 1 in 20.

The same can be said of any number of states. It should be said of them all...

Do you think anyone would go duck hunting if only 5% of the ducks were armed?  

My solution to mass shootings is to arm more people.  We're told that the answer to prohibited or otherwise unacceptable speech is...more speech!  That takes care of the 1st Amendment.  I say the same should be said of the 2nd Amendment.  

12 states now offer what's called "Constitutional Carry."  That means our Constitution is all that's needed to put a gun in your pocket and go grocery shopping.  That's the way it works in Arizona, and Maine, and Alaska, and Nebraska, and Mississippi, and North Dakota, and Oklahoma, etc., etc.  Iowa just voted in Constitutional Carry over this past weekend!  That's in contrast to some cities and states that make it almost impossible to buy and carry a firearm.  Chicago's only gun store, for example, is located inside the Main Police Station, and is only open from 10:00 to 2:00, on alternate Thursdays.  You think I'm kidding, don't you?  Look it up if you doubt me.  Could they make it any more difficult for Chicagoans to exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights?  And this, the same city where there's an average of 35 shot every weekend, and 8 of them die?  

Consider this: had a few more grocery shoppers been armed the other day, I'm suggesting that this massacre might well have had a different outcome.,,

It's been estimated that serious crimes are thwarted over One Million Times a Year by a "good guy with a gun."  That's thousands of times every week!  The so-called "MainStreamMedia" just chooses not to report it...

Like I make it a point to say, after all of this, if you happen to be among that crowd who wears silk underwear and drinks Chablis, with your little finger held high in the air, and won't stoop to actually defend yourself or your family because it's so, ummm, "distasteful," at least find a nearby knuckle-dragging neighbor to handle the task.  

In fact, have your wife ask him for you...

"Political League" Baseball

 So Major League Baseball is upset with the state of Georgia due to its new, just-approved voter legislation.*

The MLB claims this new law restricts access to voting, and thus, their little All-Star Game simply must be moved out of state.  Costing the City of Atlanta, and the State, some $196 Million Dollars.  

So every one of those (mostly Black) hot dog vendors and popcorn vendors and peanut vendors in Atlanta will not be vending their dogs and popcorn and peanuts come July.  That oughta' show them, right?

Not so fast there, crotch-scratcher!  I'm guessing if somebody at MLB would have taken the time to read this new legislation before shooting off their mouths and kowtowing to Leftists they would have discovered that:

     a)  It not only doesn't restrict the voting hours in Georgia, it actually expands them; from 10 hours per day to 12.  

     b)  It provides for no excuse absentee voting up to 17 days before Election Day, when Joe O'Biden's own home state of Delaware provides for...ready for it?...none. 

     c)  It does not restrict giving water to those in line waiting to vote, as O'Biden and others have claimed, falsely.  It only does so by those attempting to "electioneer," meaning illegally influence voting by the giving of favors of any kind, which was already illegal.

So all the complaints about this new Law raised by Coca-Cola and Delta and Faux-Governor Stacey Abrams are total bunk.  Hogwash.  Bulls*it.  And by our new professional Empty Suit O'Biden.  And by ABC/NBC/CBS/PBS/NPR/CNN/MSPMS and every other so-called "news" channel which hasn't bothered to read the Legislation.

Let me state that again:  they either haven't read it and are simply lying.  Which, by the way, seems to be in fashion again.  They've read it and are attempting to portray it as totally different; or they are dumber than a bag of rocks and should be taken out and shot.

Well, they've made their bed and I think they should be made to lay in it.  I suggest that all "right" thinking Americans choose to boycott Coca-Cola and Delta, both headquartered in Atlanta, both having "voted" to punish Georgia for its legislation, and both were an integral part of this legislative process.  You read that right!  They each were queried about it before it was voted on, and they each had an opportunity to weigh in.  And they each issued press releases in the days following its passage announcing just how pleased they were with its provisions!

Until the Woke Mob came for them, that is.  And then they caved.

Oh yeah, and let's boycott Major League Baseball, while we're at it.  By this action they've laid down the laurel wreath of sports and taken up the crude broadax of politics.  

I think Pepsi tastes pretty good too, don't you?  And I'm pretty sure I can find an airline to get me from point A to point B without having to reward Delta for their choice to exit the transportation scene and become political pundits.  And when I have some extra time to invest in sports I'm pretty sure I can find something else besides baseball to hold my attention.

Imagine: two companies which voted to economically harm their majority Black home cities.  What the Hell is wrong with these people?  Is that what being "woke" means?  Metaphorically stabbing oneself in the arm with a kitchen knife?  

If so, I think I'll stay "unwoke," thank you...

*  NOTE:  The Professional Golfers Association" has just announced that it will continue to host its annual "PGA Masters Tournament" in Georgia, as always.  Proof that golfers are more evolved than baseball players.  As if we needed that proof...

Why I Do What I Do...

If anyone out there in Internetland has ever wondered why The Chuckmeister does what The Chuckmeister does, every day and every night, in fair weather or foul, while suffering the slings and arrows of discrimination felt only by those who wish to keep some of what they earn, despite the unceasing efforts by inveterate socialists to redistribute it to others, in exchange for their votes, here's your answer:*

Hypocrisy:  "The practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; Pretense."

Joe O'Biden informed us all in his first (and perhaps last, from the reviews it received) press conference the other night that he intends to gut the "filibuster."  Not to get too much into the weeds, here folks, but that's the last tool in the tool box for the Senate minority to protect its few legislative rights against a rampaging majority.  Whether Democrat or Republican, it can work both ways.  And has, many times over the decades.  He says he's on that quest because the filibuster has become the new "Jim Crow" law the Right is using to tamp down the rights of the minority.  

If you recall from civics class way back in high school, you'll recall that the filibuster has been in effect since 1807, thus calling to question O'Biden's claim that it's a "Jim Crow" law.  Just another, bald-faced lie.  And it's been used hundreds and hundreds of times since.  

In fact, it was used 53 times during the Trump Administration.  All by Democrats.  In fact, again, the most recent time it was used was when then-Senator Kamala Harris filibustered Senator Tim Scott's (R-SC) 2020 immigration reform legislation.  She's a Democrat, remember.

And he's Black, remember?  And so is she, sort of.  Remember?

So much for irony there, right?

So Mr. O'Biden was a yuuuuge champion of the filibuster during his entire 147 year Senate career.  But now, when it's more politically conveeeeenient, he's flip-flopped.

Again.

Or, as I prefer to say, he's just plain lied.  Like a rug!  For he's a hypocrite, fellow Patriots.  He was, he is, and he likely always shall be.

Unless, of course, he's just plain senile, and isn't aware enough to know the stuff somebody wrote for him to read is total crap.  Not a good choice, but you choose.  An inveterate liar, or an old fart in pre-cognitive decline...  

And the reason I write this unassuming little blog is to call your attention to these bottom-feeding leaches  where they live.  Like O'Biden.  Who squinted straight into the camera the other evening, unblinkingly, with that cold, hard, vacuous, ice-blue, lights-are-on-but-nobody's-home, 20-mile stare, elevator-doesn't-go-to-the-top-floor and plain-ass lied.  Over and over and over.  And over.  

Because he's a hypocrite!  I think it's sort of like a religion to these socialists.  They must have to lie so many times every 24 hours or they lose their club membership.

Now, I don't mean to single him out; he's just one of the lying, swamp-dwelling hypocrite politicians who've been put on Earth to ruin your petty, insignificant little proletariat, wage-earning lives.  And mine.  And they're working overtime toward that goal.      

So, fellow Patriots, you've been warned.  Those of you who voted for the crusty old guy with the pen, believing he'd be mucho better than the Orange Man with a Tweeter, do you understand now?

DO YOU?

(P.S.  Oh yeah, I thought I'd add, Mr. O'Biden voted for 700 miles of Border wall when he was a Senator back in 2006.  And the very first thing he did upon being immaculated as POTUS?  He "cancelled" the Border wall.  Which he simply cannot, contractually, do.  So the cost of building it continues, even though it...doesn't.  We, the taxpayers, are bearing some $1,000,000 in daily costs and penalties because of Joe O'Biden's breach of contract.  It will now cost us taxpayers more not to build the Wall now than to simply finish it.  And the courts may well force O'Biden to restart the Wall.  But until then the illegals are pouring in through the unclosed areas.  Thousands every day.  People like O'Biden just don't know when to stop, now do they?)

*  Yes, it's a longish sentence.  I specialize in them.  Wanta' make somethin' out of it?

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX!...

Senate Republicans are idiots.

They simply must be or they'd have figured out a way around the Democraps' so-far successful efforts to stuff uber-Progressive, tax-and-spend legislation right down their collective throats.

There are 50 of them.  There are 50 Democrats.  Actually, there are probably more like 15 real, honest-to-God, old-time Democrats in the Senate. The rest are socialists, communists or Marxists.  Think AOC, for instance.  On steroids.  So when they have all three levers of power, the White House, the Senate and the House, as they do (arrggh!), they can use the Vice President to cast the deciding, majority vote when this horses*it legislation is presented.  They did it with their "COVID Relief (ha ha) Plan," which did little for COVID relief, and they'll do it when this ridiculous climate boondoggle $2 Trillion Dollar Waste-a-Thon* rears its ugly head.  

However, I, The Chuckmeister, may have a way around it...

Senate Republicans must begin thinking "outside the box."  Since they know, Hell, we ALL know, that Democrats are more afraid of insulting a transgender dwarf somewhere than they are of getting voted out of office, they are quite partial to those who "identify" as something else.  Think Rachel Dolezol, the then-President of the Washington State Chapter of the NAACP.  With a good tan and her hair frizzed, she looked Black.  Unfortunately/fortunately for her/them, she was White.  She "identified."  And that was just fine with them.

Then there's Rachel Levine, the new Asst. Secy. of Health and Human Services.  Just confirmed last week.  She(he) "identifies" as a "she," so Democrats not only accepted her/him, they appointed her/him to a $200,000 a year Federal job!  So I say, Senate Republicans should all immediately start "identifying" as Black, gay and transgender.  Oh yeah, and as an Indigenous Personage.  And a Gypsy.  That would have the effect of immediately cloaking them in an impermeable veil of racial, economic and political invincibility.  

Democrats would immediately cease their efforts to use their faint majority to push around Republicans.  And Republicans would cease to act like red-headed stepchildren, hat in hands, begging for scraps.  Democrats would publicly apologize for their bold and provocative actions of late, and promise to do better in the future.  And they would henceforth begin to negotiate in good faith with Republicans in an effort to finally pass legislation of benefit to the American People.

Thank God for Patriots like me!  Somebody has to come up with answers to these perplexing questions.  If not me, who?  If not now, when?

*  Democrats claim this new legislation will "fix" our massive infrastructure problems.  You know, roads, highways, bridges and crumbling airports.  Except, less than 9% of it has anything at all to do with infrastructure.  The rest will be used to correct "inequities" in our economic system, while turning us into Venezuela.  The Good News?  I'm old, and I won't have to pay back all this ridiculous borrowing from our grandchildren.  But likely YOU will.  Seems like the scrawny old guy with the pen might just be worse than the Orange Guy with the Tweeter...
