Melatonin Causes Crime!

It just struck me, fellow Patriots.  I believe I now know what's causing the epidemic of crime afflicting our biggest cities.

Follow along while I make my case.  New York City's mayor is a guy named Eric Adams.  And Lost Angeles has a woman named Karen Bass running things.  And in San Francisco, the mayor is a lady (I'm assuming she's a lady...it's San Franpoopco, you know) named London Breed.  And in Chicago we have a proud socialist named Kevin Johnson as mayor.  For whom the victim is always wrong and the perpetrator is always right.  

And in Baltimore it's a guy named Brandon Scott as mayor.  In New Orleans, the murder capital of America?  It's a woman named LaToya Cantrell.  Let's try St. Louis, shall we?  Okay, it's a woman named Tishaura Jones.  Well how about Houston, Mr. Chuckmeister?  Our 4th largest city?  The answer is a guy named Sylvester Turner. 

And then there's Cavalier Johnson from Milwaukee.  And Vi Lyles from beautiful Charlotte.  And even Raz Baraka from Newark and Eric Johnson from Dallas. 

The list goes on, and on.  And on...

One has to wonder what all these folks have in common, besides mayorally running the largest cities in America.  Especially since half of America's moms don't know whether their kids will come home today with a bullet in them or a body bag around them.  

Could there be a common denominator between these nice folks and the crime-beset cities in which they live?  Given the crisis of crime in America, is there something these "leaders" all have in common with the crimes unfolding around them?  I think I have the answer:  

           THEY'RE ALL BLACK!

As I said, it struck me:

Either there's a correlation between the incidence of Black leadership and crime, or perhaps there's a correlation between the amount of melatonin in the leadership and crime.  

Take your pick.

One could say that blaming our yuuuuge crime crises on Black mayors is racist!  Racist!  RACIST, do you hear me!

Hmmm...  

Okay, so they're all Black, and the crimes are in the cities where the mayors are all Black.  And even the majority of its citizens are Black.  But we can't say that, 'cause the so-called "MainStreamMedia" won't report it.  'Cause they're the Media Arm of the Democrat National Committee.  They live, eat, breathe and sleep to put a Democrat in charge, and then keep him(her/it/they) there.  So in order to avoid that pitfall, from which there is no escape, wink-wink, let's just blame it on...

                    Melatonin! 

That's sort of like blaming bank robbing on the money, for without it, there would be no bank robbing.  Got it?  Like the famous bank robber John Dillinger once said when asked why he robbed banks, "Because that's where the money is."  But we'll do it in an attempt to avoid the obvious.

Wink-wink!  

So, fellow Patriots, let's try and find some White or Tan, or maybe even Red-ish folks to run for mayor in these crime-ridden towns.  Maybe a different color of leadership - maybe less melatonin - can finally stem this awful tendency. 

It must be known that even if the crime continues unabated after they do so, the hard-core Left will still have Whitey to blame...

"COPS" (Part Drei) "The Kansas Two-Step"

Soooooo, on my way home this morning from saving the Earth from Vorgon the Dreaded (I'm winning!), I drove past my friendly gas station.  Which was advertising the price of its alternative to electricity.  Ready?  Unleaded regular, which my buggy consumes, is now priced at..Ta Da!!!

                  $5.29 a gallon!

So if you live in one of those $3.89 a gallon states, which O'Biden's minions continually focus, take a look at this!  And then understand why those of us who know we're sitting on a river of oil but with a weenie governor are so pissed!  We could poke a hole in the ground with a stick and it would bubble up, ala those folks in the Beverly Hillbillies.  But NO!  Too simple for simpletons...

Now back to our regularly scheduled rant:

                        ////  !!!   \\\\

Have you had it with flying?  I mean paying too much to park, paying some dude to take your luggage, fighting your way through line after line, where everything over 4 oz. just has to be confiscated, having some overweight babe feel you up as you go through the magnatometer, then fighting your way into a cramped aluminum tube so you can hurtle through the sky at 500 mph, hoping you don't run in to anybody.  'Cause it could cause a yuuuuge bang if you did!

Plus those of us who are acrophobic (we wish we were shorter!) would really prefer to remain at ground level (you can't fall down from down!), are just fine with hopping into our faithful steeds and motoring comfortably toward our destinations.  And if the destination is too far, then we simply shall not go.  After all, I've been in 37 countries and 49 states, and I don't really need to go back.  

Got it?

However, driving carries with it another peril.  Road pirates.  Boys (and girls) in Blue, earning their money by taking ours.  I don't like that, on principle if for no other reason.  They're out there, lying in wait, hiding behind some road sign, ready to pull you over and write you up.  To put their hands in your pockets and extract your money.  So I'm here to alert you, my faithful readers, with one of the pitfalls of so doing.  One of their unseemly little tricks.  Ready?    

 Ever heard of the "Colorado Two-Step?"

Well, you will now.  Against the wishes of the Colorado highway patrol.  

There's this guy who just got arrested along the side of I-10.  The fuzz was able to conjure up a reason to search his car, during which they found a small amount of maryjowanna.  Except they had no reason to search his car.  So he sued, and these Road Pirates lost both their qualified immunity and their jobs.  

Plus, the State of Colorado wrote him a $Big Check, reportedly several hundred thousand dollars.

You have to have a reason to search a citizen's car, you see.  This is not Nazi Germany.  But the "Colorado 2-Step" makes up a reason to search.  It goes this way:

You're cruising down I-10 and the patrolman stops you for a faulty taillight.  Whether it's faulty or not.  Most folks don't walk all around their cars and make sure all systems are "go" before they head out, so they don't know whether their lights work or not (hint, hint).  

The trooper gets your information and checks you for wants and warrants.  It's so comforting, you see, for them to find a felon every now and again.  One with a warrant.  So they can put them cuffs and take them to the station.  It gives them a warm and fuzzy feeling to lock them up.  It's like fishing.  

Notice, they don't call it "catching."    

Otherwise, they give you back your I.D. and bid you adieu.  Oh, except, after a few steps, using their best Colombo, they turn and ask you just One More Thing: "Oh yeah, you don't have any drugs or guns or Rocket Propelled Grenades on board there do you?"  (heh, heh, comedians).  And especially, they'll ask, slowly, if you have any fentanyl, or heroin, or methamphetamine, or maryjowanno, or Xanax, or Molly, or any other illegal drug under the sun.  

You say "No, sir" after each.  They'll then ask if they can search your car, just because, you know, that's what they do, and, ummm, everybody says yes, and, ummm, "officer safety."  

You say "Thanks, but no thanks."  

They'll try and talk you into it, but they really don't care.  Because they'll tell you they just happen to have a "canine drug detection unit" nearby.  How lucky are they!  Their puppy is on the way they tell you, and can run around the outside of your vehicle just to be absolutely positive.  Which they can legally do, BTW.  Whether you want them to or not.  

And whether they have any reason to or not.  Just because they have a big doggy available they just bought for a whole pile of dough.  Who's just been trained in Germany to put your ass in jail.  So, they want to put your ass in jail.  And so the courts have said they can delay you until the pooch arrives.  

Within reason.  Up to 20 minutes in most jurisdictions, 30 in others.  And then Fido arrives and checks the outside of your buggy.  If he alerts,* bless his little K9 heart, you are then pulled from your car by a bunch of goons and put in cuffs and made to sit on the side of the road while they joyfully toss your car.  It's the high point of their day.  It's why they live.  

       It's the Colorado Two-Step:

Step 1:  "Your light is out."  

Step 2:  "You're detained."

It's like opening Christmas presents for them!  And only their body cams will prove whether or not a bad apple among them planted evidence during this scam.**  Or even if the body cam was turned on.  If it sounds like I don't trust them, I don't.  They are there to take our money.  They will if we let them.  I want to make sure they don't.

The Russians' problems with "road piracy" were more pronounced.  Their pirates are so corrupt they made it nearly mandatory for everyone in that country to have, and to use, a dash-mounted front/rear camera.  And remember:  You're not paranoid if they're really after you.  And fellow Patriots, they're really after us.  So there's literally not an accident in Russia that's not videoed.  Nor a traffic stop.  And it's done wonders to limit "road piracy" over there of the type we're herein dicussing.  

So long as dragging motorists off the highway and picking their pockets pays so well, so much of the budgets of "wide spot in the road" towns, they'll keep on doing it.    

     Until we start recording them.  

The Bottom Line is, the only way to prove they're not after you, is to "...record them in the conduct of their duties."***  From what I hear cops get real friendly, and tend to follow the Consitution, especially well when they know they're being recorded...

So buy a dash cam.  And a radar detector.  Use both.  They will pay for themselves, trust me.  Did for me.

As I will write in an upcoming posting, think of it this way:  "100% of us taxpayers hire 3% of our citizens to police the other 97% of our population, with apparently far too little supervision, or support, or oversight."****  Does that make sense to you?"  

     -  We need to entice our best and brightest into the "Blue," instead of those for whom policing is a second or third career choice. 

     -  We need to find a way to force our police out of their HQ and back into the neighborhoods.

     -  Instead of more cops, we need better cops.

     -  The "paramilitary" model upon which modern policing is based needs to be scrapped in favor of one more community friendly.

     -  Lose the dark blue and the dark green for a nice light tan.  Something a little less intimidating.  Something a little less "Robocop."

     -  Far too many cops are injured or killed responding to domestic violence calls.  We need to install psychiatric social workers into our police departments to try and defuse these situations first, before the cop - with the gun - is called in.  As a last resort.  Remember, the shooting only starts in most instances when the armed officer arrives...

     -  And lastly, we need for our policing agencies to prove they are not rewarding officers based upon the number of tickets they write.  And that writing tickets is a last, rather than a first, option.  Punishing their employers isn't such a good idea...   

Do you agree with my positions on these issues?  Some?  All?  None?  Chime in and let's begin a dialogue.  Maybe something positive will come of it.  Just think.  A guy in a trailer writes a song, puts it on the Internet and changes the world.  

Leaving policing to the police isn't working.  Let's you and me start a movement...

*         A Harvard Business Review study stated that canine outer car drug sniffing is only accurate 49% of the time.  A Chigago Sun Times study from 2019 was even more damning.  They stated the puppies were wrong 66% of the time!  But it gives the cops acces to your car!  In short, give them an inch and they'll take you to jail...

**       Always use the Freedom of Information Act to request the body cam footages of the cops who stop and ticket you.  Tell them that you intend to do so.  Before the ticket is written.  And be sure to ask them if it's on.  It's usually free, they have to have it, and they have to provide it.  And it just may provide you with the proof you need to get the case tossed.  Remember, most motorists simply consider the cost of tickets the cost of doing business.  They should contest any ticket they deem illegal or unlawful.  I do.  And I haven't lost one yet.

****   The Chuckmeister, 2023.  That's me talking...

Escape From Montana...

So I have crafted a brand "New Plan" to take care of our Democrat-created crime crisis here in America.  And it kinda' works like this:

Some dumb gangbanger kid with one parent, fer example, jacks a car and then robs a 7/11.  He then tries to murder his partner-in-crime over a bag of crack, and then tries to strangle his babymomma who signed him up for line dance classes, while high as a kite on fentanyl.  He was high, not his gurrlfriend.

He then runs over a cop's foot and gets caught, after stealing a car and leading the fuzzz on a 3-county chase lasting more than a hour.  I say surprisingly,  'cause that usually doesn't happen anymore.  In the land of "Defund the Police," it doesn't.

So this kid, having 153 prior arrests on his record, even elicits the enmity of the local District Attorney, whose Maserati payment comes directly from the office of George Soros.  So this kid gets charged with all that stuff, gets a public defender, which we pay for, is arraigned and then thrown in jail.  

Which we pay for.  

In our "no cash bail" state of Taxifornia, like so many other "woke" havens, which permits hardened felons to go free even after they're caught, this kid was turned loose and sent home after the other 152 crimes.  

But not this time...

His P.D., who makes a whopping $45.00 an hour for representing this stain on humanity's shorts (and moonlights as an Uber driver), cuts a deal with the prosecutor, who believes that 153 still isn't enough.  The State drops the two attempted murder charges, and the gun and the carjacking and the armed robbery charges, which would have gotten this puke 45 years, in exchange for a guilty plea for "narcotic paraphernalia and bad breath."  

He gets six (6) months in the Riverside County jail.  But, because he reminded the deputies that Robert Downey, the Jr. was permitted to go home early from that same jail because he washed their cars back in 2005, and who knows what else he did, our felon was paroled after only two (2) months.  Back to his babymomma and his lucrative pharmaceutical bizzness.

And the Soros bought-and-paid-for D.A. still thought that was too long.

And why do they do that?  Besides "equity" and Liberal bulls*it and all that?  Because there are only 2,300,000 jail cells in all of America.  And anytime the crime rate goes up, our politicians start letting them out in droves.  Because the CPDLW's* refuse to let those to who whom they give $Millions in campaign donations build any more prisons!  Because prisons keep people locked up!  And locked up...bad!  

Or something! 

The same reason our Boy Guv here in Taxifornia has turned loose more than 62,000 hardened felons from our prisons since 2020.   

So our criminal justice system puts them in the front door, and our Liberal injustice system lets them out the back.   

That's the way it works, folks.

              ///  NOW THEN  \\\

Did you know there are only 577,043 citizens residing in all of Montana?  Or roughly the same number of souls Joe O'Biden lets through our southern "border" every month?  

And did you know there are only 1,973,429 prisoners in all of our jail cells in all of our prisons in all of America?  As of March, 2022?  And the # is going up?

And did you know it's estimated to cost more than $35,000 each to house those above listed prisoners?

And did you know it's estimated to cost more than twice that, more than $73,000 each, to keep them on Death Row?  And more than $11,000,000** on average to put them to death?  If they're ever put to death (average stay before the noose is 11.5 years)?

And did you know that Montana sports 147,040 square miles?  Our fourth largest state?  Larger than Japan?

Hello, fellow Patriots, I have a rather unusual suggestion.  One that makes a whole lot of sense if you just think it through.  Here goes...

I suggest we move all our prisoners, all state and Federal prisoners, to Montana.  I suggest we take a small percentage of the $'s we're sending to Ukraine and move all of Montana's citizens to nearby states.  And then I suggest we build a wall around Montana.  A nice, high wall, designed to keep all the Bad Guys "in."  In fact, I hear we have more than $600 Million Dollars in unused BUT PAID FOR material piled up at our Southern Border, which could be used to build that wall.

And then I propose to house all our Bad Guys from all our states and cities and counties and Indian reservations into one place, where they can be observed and managed at a more reasonble and prudent cost to the Taxpayer(s).  And I propose further than our states pay a percentage of what it cost them to house these felons to our Treasury to help offset our new costs.  Okay so far?

I mean, think of it: we could employ a helicopter to do thrice-daily "meals-on-blades" drops to the prisoners.  Do better and get more grub.  Maybe divide Montana into four quadrants, with the Bad Guys separated according to their danger to society.  Act nicer, get another cheeseburger.  Isn't that the way socialism is supposed to work?

Oh wait...  That's capitalism.

We know that family and friends and history mean nothing to O'Biden or his goons.  They've successfuly destroyed centuries-old neighborhoods by the score since they opened our Southern Border.  Through which more than 7,000,000 illegal aliens have walked!  Holding hands.  Knowing that they've bypassed their only impediment to scoring a lucrative gig here on American soil: the cartels.  Which they've paid.  To come here.  Not us, them!

Read that last paragraph again...

The "Conservative" way of doing things is to "conserve" our rich history and neighbors and jobs and family and friends and religion the way we've always known it, and the way we want it passed down to our children.  And their children.  

That's what conservatism means.

But that's been taken away.  So now we have to figure out a new way of managing the "New America."  An America filled with crime and corruption and greed and hunger and danger and filth.  Where the criminal is protected and the victim is made to pay.  Where Americans have purchased more than 350,000,000 firearms since B. Hussein Obama was consummated.  And they now need them...

We've got to put all our criminals in one place to try and give our overburdened citizens some relief.  When word of that gets out, maybe then, they'll stop coming...

Do you remember the movie "Escape From Los Angeles?"  Where Kurt Russell's Snake Plitkin did battle with the evil overlord in an effort to escape?  We laughed at it back then.  It was unimaginable, we thought.  Boy, how wrong we were!  People who can afford it are escaping from Lost Angeles by the hundreds of thousands every year now, and taking their high-paying jobs with them.

Take my advice.  When we have a fire we first try and contain the damage.  We should do the same with our criminals.  And I'm thinking our retirees and military veterans just might just make good prison guards...

The "Top 1%"

Well, that whole "End of The World" combo hurricane/earthquake over the weekend was sort of a bust where I live.  Moderate rainshower would be closer.  But like everything else you see advertised here in the once-Golden State, it was oversold and underdelivered.  So back to business...  

Did you know it takes $844,266 of annual income to be considered in the "top 1%" of Taxifornia's taxpayers?

And did you know that CA's "top 1%" paid more than 45% of all of Taxifornia's expenses?  It's entire expenses!

Huh?

I wonder when those dirty, nasty "top 1%" pukes will belly up and start paying their "fair share?"

You see how that works, fellow Patriots?  The CPDLW's* have so taken hold of the "MainStreaMedia" that it's daily goal is to gaslight the only people here who pay taxes!  

Think about this: 10,344 tax filers here in here in Taxifornia paid more than 49% of its income.    

Hmmm.

You wonder what it might take to make the "top 1%" of, say, West Virginia?  It's $344,582.  Less than half of what it takes to be "Rich" in Taxifornia.  Of course, it costs less than half as much to live there.  And it doesn't have a bunch of panties-in-a-bunch, hair-on-fire nitwits calling the shots!  Plus, I'm pretty sure they shoot their hardened criminals instead of giving them another cash-free bail skate.  For the 50th time...

Taxifornian families take in an average of $87,449 a year.  Texas families take in $72,876.  Of course, a 1,100 sq. ft. shoebox here costs an average of $798,767.  A five-bedroom, 4 bath house in Texas costs $369,764.  The weather sucks in Texas, but hey, they're all packing heat, they'll have left crime behind, line dancing is fun, cowboy hats keep out the sun, and with the savings they can buy a bunch of electricity.

And oh yeah, folks are bailing on the now-tarnished Golden State in droves.  More than One Million of your friends and neighbors said buh bye in just the past two years.  And they're all moving to Texas.  And because most of them were born and raised in Taxifornia, and learned all of its Bad Habits, 

Texas is praying they don't bring Taxifornia and its bad habits with them.

Steady readers of this unassuming little blog will remember me saying, over and over, "Pretty soon there'll be no one left here but sign twirlers and Starbucks baristas."  Except I'm no longer sure about the sign twirlers.  They'll no longer be able to afford the coffee...

The above is a lesson in how not to covet your neighbor's sh*t...

*   Commie Pinko Dumbass Liberal Weenies...

T*ts and A*s...

 I'd like to offer up a suggestion in the name of... 

"equity."

You know, that thing that Marxists have been selling our yout (what's a yout?) for a generation?  Or more?  That "diversity is strength" and "equity trumps equality" bullsh*t.  That stuff.  But that's all the wash of hogs when one traipses through the Internet search engines these days and notices...

ti*s and a*s.  

Aren't asterisks wonderful?

So anyway, let's start at the end and work backwards.

Actually, starting at the "end" is a good place to start (heh, heh).  Because it seems that every single starlet-to-be, or starlet-that-was, is taking off her clothes and parading around near-naked for all the world the see.  In an effort to get noticed.  And maybe snag a part in a movie.  Or a TV commercial.  Or a producer's couch.  So they could quit the job at Arbys.

Where are their mothers?

in fact, I think ti*s and as* are beyond wonderful.  I've always been a l*g and a*s man, myself, not that I have anything against a good set of kno*kers.  In fact, I'd like to have something against a good set of kn*ckers!  (heh, heh).  So I gaze upon mostly undressed babes with a smile upon my face.  

But not when I'm trying to get the daily news. 

When I'm trying to vacuum up the news of the world I'd prefer not to be distracted by a quantum of feminine pulchritude.  

Nomsayin?'  

So in the name of "equity," I propose that men should be included in this proposition.  They should get a shot at disrobing in front of an electronic crowd just like the babes do.  Whether the male customers like it or not.  Men should either be able to take off their clothes one-for-one with women, or the women should keep their clothes on.  And compete on a level playing field.  

One not muddled up by a set of bounching boob*es.  Or a jig*ling derr*ere.  What was I talking about?  

Hello!  We all know men think about sex an average of every nine seconds,* so let's stop scratching this itch!  

Every hot babe in a thong (picture me biting my knuckle) should be followed by one of those Australian dudes in a (gasp!) tho*g.  I mean, make the website look like gay porn sites if we must, even oil up the gize, if you must.  But as the father of four daughters, I say let's do our part on behalf of well-endowed women everywhere and fergodssake, let them buy a wardrobe!  

Then maybe we'll all get real and take them both down!

There should be a place for pictures of hot babes, and even hot dudes.  But on a channel purporting to "sell" us the news, which nearly all of them do, only hanging on by "selling out" to risque advertisers is not one of them.  

'Nuff said.

The Weather...

Several decades worth of weather is coming on shore here in California, and I just cannot wait!  And let me tell you why... 

Where I come from we had four distinct seasons.

We had Winter, almost Summer, Summer, and almost Winter.

And each of those "almosts" are about two weeks in duration.  So it's basically either hotter than a four-peckered goat, or colder there than a witch's tit in a brass bra.  And that's why I was so anxious to move to a part of the country where we were to have, ta da!

               Endless Summer!

When I got on the plane in St. Louis to come to L.A. for my job interview, it was 5 degrees above zero.  In the midst of a furious ice storm, BTW.  I fought my way through snowdrifts to get to the airport.

Then, when the door of the plane opened and I walked through, it was like a reawakening.  76 degrees, 30% relative humidity, 3 - 5 mph onshore breeze and the brightest sunshine I'd ever seen.  I was home.  I hoped...

And then I got the job and moved here and simply loved the fact that every single day was exactly like the day before.  Beautiful, warm, wonderful.  What's not to like?  

I guess maybe like having an ice cream sundae three times a day as your only sustenance?

Yes, my friends, here in sunny Southern California we have no weather.  Zero, nada, none.  The absense of weather.  Oh, it get cooler at night than in the daytime.  And a bit warmer in Summer than in Winter, but that's about it.  While you folks who live in other climes suffer, we laugh at you.  Ha!, we say!  

Ha!

Oh, I already said that.

While you are laboring under 10' of snow and drowning in rivers of runoff, we say, Ha!  You too could live where you check the weather on your phone every morning hoping for, well, something different.  Something other than say, sunshine.  And never find it!  And then we say to you who live in Tornado Alley, or the snowy "thumb" of Michigan, or in Daytona Beach prepping for a hurricane, Ha!   

Oh, I already said that.

All of this is why we are so excited for the events of this weekend.  We're to get our first hurricane since Garfield was President.  Or was it McKinley?  Doesn't matter.  It will be glorious!  It will be the first hurricane that O'Biden can remember!  If he can remember!  Anything!  The rain will pour and the rivers will flow and all of our lilly-livered commie pinko dummass liberal weenies will wind up slipping and sliding and crashinig on the freeways.  Into each other.  The places all their elected "leaders" begged them to please stay home from!

AAA will be having nightmares for months to come!  

I'm going to luxuriate in this rainstorm!  The downpours!  The rivers of liquid sunshine flowing down my street!  I'm going to park my arse in a comfy lawn chair on my front porch, non-Bud Light in my hand, my Democrat* cat Critter on my lap, knowing that God permitted me to live long enough to witness an event which has not happened for nearly a century!  Some serious rain in August.  Where the rainfall averge in August is 0.00!"  Is this proof of "Climate Change?"  The climate just changed, didn't it?  

Ex-V.P. Al Gore predicted Miami would be underwater by 2010 due to the melting of Arctic glaciers!  John Kerry believed Al Gore was right!

I've completely run out of "!'s"

I wonder if this is like a portent of things to come?  Maybe this is our clue that "The End" is near?  If so, thanks in advance to God for the light show and waterworks.  With drag racing on the TV in the background, and the world coming to an end out my front door, I simply could not be happier...

The Tyranny of the Minority...

You might be interested to know that Germany's Nazi (National Socialist) Party only commanded the support of 32.1% of its citizenry at the peak of its power.

That's only one in three.  Just about what Joe O'Biden counts as his hard-core backers among Democrats today, interestingly.

The other two-thirds were/are just going about their business, paying no attention, shielding their eyes from the philosophical train wreck happening all around them, hoping all the bullsh*t would just go away.  

Like the non-Nazi Germans felt 9 decades ago, I'm guessing, while their country was coming apart at the seams.  Until it was too late to do anything about it.  

Historically, those who choose not to get involved when democratic societies are turning autocratic, are dragged kicking and screaming to either an awakening at some future point, or their death.  Let's talk about how that all might work out...

Forgive me for the quick and dirty history lesson here, fellow Patriots, and I'm talking super Crib Notes.  Since I lived for several years in Germany and married one of their own as my starter wife, I know quite a bit about that nation, its people, and their history.  So, as I'm sure you know all this stuff, be not insulted as I inform others who might read my words later on down the pike.  

For them, the Germans were ravaged after WW1.  I recall holding a One Million Deuchmark Note, issued in 1945.  Inflation was so bad it was the size of a bath towel.  Yet it could not buy a loaf of bread.  And our Marshall Plan called for the "Krauts" to pay for all the damage they'd done to the rest of the world during the War they'd just lost.  When they had no opportunity to do so since their economy was toast.  And especially since they had no seat at the table to help decide their own fate.  

When they were starving.  And they wouldn't forget it...

The two-out-of-three who were left to pick up the pieces after the Big War were not happy.  And the world called it their fault.  

So among the ashes here comes Hitler.  It was 1932 and he promised to take them back to greatness.  Back to Teutonic mastery.  He proved to be a threat to the ruling elites who were "managing" the post-war economy so they tossed him in jail.  He wrote "Mein Kampf" while there.  He became a rock star.  And by 1938 he and the Nazi Party had pushed aside his detractors and taken command of Germany.  Thus beginning the awful steps leading up to WW2.  

One of the ways they did so was to assign blame to a host of real and perceived enemies, including England and America.  But also the Blacks and the Gypsies and the Jews.  He blamed them all for nearly every ill they were then suffering.  High quality deflecting, here.  Life was good before the Jews, he said.  And by exterminating them, everything would be just fine again, he said.  Things would return back to normal, he said.  

And this was the only message that was permitted to reach the masses...*

Let us focus on a few facts:  The Hitler Administration was in complete control of Germany's media.  They seized it!  And two-thirds of the population's wishes were then being ignored, and even subverted.  That stated, you might want to think about this: Hitler had to threaten Germany's journalists with death.  

Strangely, our Mr. O'Biden didn't have to...

All of our major media outlets are housed within a six-block area in MidTown Manhattan.  All of them.   ABC/CBS/NBC/ FOX/NPR/PBS are located there, plus seven local affiliate stations, serving 4 local states.  That's nearly one-fourth of America's population.  And their managers and employees all shop together, and hit the beaches together, go to the movies together, lounge in the bars together, and go to church together.  

Ummm, strike that last one.

However they are of a crop.  And our Constitution clearly states that our MSMedia is our Fourth Estate.  It must rise above all influences including petty politics.  Our journalists are given broad freedoms in the Constitution, and have a duty to us to find the truth and report it.  

Except they are not doing so.

The members of the White House Press Corps willingly stated that they voted 95% Democrat in the 2020 Election. Is that what our Founding Fathers envisioned?

As a reminder, Hitler and his goons took first took control of the media.  (And that now includes "social media," including Google, Meta, and X.)  The German Media only reported the news they found flattering to Hitler, and only through channels favorable to them.  Are you seeing a parellel here?  

Sensing anything out of bounds here?  Anything?  

The results?  We all know the results.  But I chose to overlay the events that led to WW2 with the events dragging us toward a Civil War today.  Or God forbid, even WW3.  Hitler controlled his media.  O'Biden's backers control our media. Not that they need a whole lot of controlling.  I say "backers" because it's pretty obvious to anyone who watches that O'Biden isn't controlling anything, including most likely his bladder.  And half our population gets its information from channels with their noses up O'Biden's ass.  And only 32% of our population believes O'Biden could find that ass with both hands and a flashlight, and only about that same percentage followed Hitler, interestingly.  Hitler led them into war.  O'Biden appears Hell-bent on doing the same to us.  

In just two years O'Biden has turned Saudi Arabia from a friend into an enemy.  He's turned both China and Russia loose to buddy up and combine their might to bring down America.  And then join up with China to form a truly scary triumvirate, which has never existed in history before.  North Korea is rattling its sabres, after having been kept at bay for years  by Trump.  China has subsumed nearly all of South America while O'Biden has been worrying about pronouns.  We have more oil in the ground than any other country on Earth, and we're buying oil from the shieks.  In short, everything has pretty much gone to Hell.  

It's Bizzarro World!

And one has to wonder why O'Biden has allowed this?  He bought more than $22,000,000 worth of beachfront property on a senator's and V.P.'s salary of $175,000 a year.  But wait!  We're told he scooped up a share of some $20,000,000 as the "Big Guy!"  From, wait for it, China?  After all, he either knows, or he doesn't.  And it seems the only ones who believe him is...the MainStreaMedia.

You know the main difference between Hitler's 1936 Germany and the O'Biden's 2023 United States?  Hitler disarmed his people.  That's the very first thing he did.  He took away all their firearms, believing that a disarmed society is a compliant society.  It was.  Our society?  100,000,000 of us own about 500,000,000 guns.  And the people behind O'Biden know it.  And they're doing their damndest to come and get them.  

Guess what?  We won't let them. 

Packing up the dog and the guns and my rations from the general store and heading off for the mountain cabin.  To prepare for Winter.  Hopefully not the "nuclear" type of Winter...

Sorry for the comparison.  I guess I'm the only one to notice it.  It only takes a small and dedicated group of dedicated Marxists to take over a country.  It happened in Venezuela.  It happened in China.  It happened in North Korea.  It happened in El Salvador.  And it could happen here.  

As we used to say in the Army, 

"Embrace the Suck."

How'd That Sanctuary Thing Work Out For Ya?

There are currently 183 self-declared "sanctuary cities" in America.  Plus all the towns, and villages, and counties and even states.  Like Taxifornia, and New Yawk.  And Illinoway.  However, deciding not to enforce America's laws is anarchy.  And is prema facie evidence of the choice to exit America.  They are anarchists.  Anti-American anarchists.  

Like the State in which I currently reside.  Unfortunately.  47 of our 54 counties are owned and controlled by the Democrat Party.  Giving Democrats a supermajority in both the State Assembly and Senate.  Meaning they can conjure up the dumbest laws imaginable, and then pass them!  Nearly 1,000 every single year, for the past 20 years!  We now have 366,244 laws on the books.  When will that be enough?

Oh yeah, CA just passed a law making it illegal for clerks to chase down shoplifters!  It's now a misdemeanor.  And they'll likely jail the poor employees.  

Stealing?  Meh...

I say "currently," because folks like me are bailing like rats from a sinking ship, so there are fewer of us every day.  So far more than 600,000 taxpayers have run for the exits from the once-Great State of California.  Another half-million are expected to bail this year alone.  And these are the folks who can afford to move.  To sell their houses and pack up and run like bandits.  Taking their $100k a year jobs with them.  

Pretty soon the taxpayers will be replaced with tax-takers.  There will be no choice then but to hike taxes again, thus spurring another round of expatriots.  In Taxifornia's case, it'll go from 13.3%, the Nation's highest, to, what, send me your paycheck?  Buy bye Endless Summer.  

As I'm (in)famous for saying, 

"Pretty soon there won't be anyone left here but sign twirlers and Starbucks baristas."  

Except the sign twirlers in O'Biden's economy won't then be able to afford that cup of coffee, leaving the baristas out of a job...

These sanctuary cities, adopted the UN's socialist policy back in the 1980's that every city everywhere should provide food, shelter and clothing to everybody.  From anywhere.  Forever.    

Nice thought, but beyond impractical, at the very best.  There will always be poor, as Jesus told us, just as there will always be rich, as I'm telling you.  We have the absolute Right here in America, guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence, to "pursue happiness." You do not have the Right to attain happiness, however.  That's up to you.  

Yet, the "Progressives" amongst us who'd seized control of city councils across its "Bluest" parts of our once-Great Nation demanded that illegal aliens be welcomed to any of these cities without first paying the price of admission.  If they could only somehow manage to make their way up that far.  Since most of these cities are Up North.  As in NYC, and Chicago, and Seattle.  How conveeeeeenient.  

For a time this "feel good" measure made them all feel good.  No harm, no foul.  Trump was keeping them out, for the most part, fighting like Hell as he was to build that wall, so they could sit atop their High Horse with glee.  

But thennn, O'Biden got immaculated.

He'd promised on the campaign trail back in September, 2019 that if elected he'd welcome 3 million new illegals every year.  And that seems to be one of the only promises he's keeping.  And the keeping of that promise is getting a whole bunch of folks' panties in a bunch.  As in, the mayors of dozens of Big Blue cities.  

"Progressives" never seem to think out the possible results of those feel-good actions, do they?  

Like Eric Adams from NYC.  Who has so far had to find housing for more than 95,000 "migrants" his President O'Biden has sent his way.  And will keep on sending.  $4.3 Billion dollars he says this boondoggle will cost the taxpayers of New York City.  So far.  And so today he begged his city council to drop the "required to find shelter" demand in their charter.

Imagine that.

Smug, entitled, out-of-touch elitist commies get their asses handed to them every now and then.  In front of God and everybody.   

Like now...

I think good ol' Eric can file this one under, "Sh*t Happened..."*

*    Hey Eric, this little boondoggle is costing your taxpayers $9.8 Million Dollars a Day.  Might want to call your buddy Joe...

I.Q.

I was taught during my 63 semester college hours of psychology to prepare me to become a clinical psycholotist,* that the average American had an average I.Q. of 100.

Which was average.

That lofty pronunciamento had its roots all the way back to 1912 when one Willian Stern, a well renowned German psychologist (there they go again) decided we needed a guage for the ability to learn.  

Not intellitence, but rather for the ability for one to learn.

So by dividing one's chronological age, by one's theoretical age, to be determined by the administration of a test, which the psychologists would unilaterally write (!), we could theoretically determine one's Intelligence Quotient.  Uh Huh!

Anyway, they jiggered the numbers so that the average would be 100.  Above that, you're "smart," colloquially, and below that you're "less than."  Somebody has to deliver the mail, and fix your car, and drive your bus, right?

But anyway, I always thought that our average American was about 100.  Boy was I wrong!  The last couple of years of police defunding and riots and disputed elections and pandemics and dummies wearing masks while riding bikes outdoors and offering to shoot you if you don't get vaccinnated, and traffic stops by cops displaying the fact they couldn't get their preferred job and are taking it out on motorists, I can tell you the average I.Q. is nowhere near 100.  

It is said some 85 BILLION videos are recorded each day.  And that there's at least one video camera watching you 24/7/365.  The people who are so damn dumb they shouldn't be let out alone, without a minder, will be found out.  And they are the ones about which I speak. 

Let's put it this way, I doubt I'd hire anyone I've seen on a YouTube video to watch my kids...

How about you?

*    I discovered that playing pool in dingy dive bars, peeling rubes like a grape, paid far better than clinical psychologists were earning at the time.  Forgive me, I just followed the money...

Big Game Hunting.

What do you think about big game hunting?

You know, elephant, rhino, lion, leopard and Cape Buffalo?  The Big Five?  Even the lesser plains animals like impala, wildebeest and oryx?

People ordinarily come down about fifty-fifty on that question.  Half think we should leave those beautiful creatures alone, assuming that everything will stay static if we do.  Which it won't.  And the other half says hunt them responsibly, like we always have, and let the fees and taxes and often exhorbitant prices people must pay to hunt them go to benefit the local residents.

The often starving local residents.  As in, "natives."

And for those who've never considered the matter, that's exactly what happens.  Let's say you're a doctor in Chicago and you want to get out of town and visit a safer place.  Heh, heh.  So you decide a Big Five hunt in sub-Saharan Africal would do nicely.  And I say doctor, 'cause you gotta' make $Big Bank in order to afford such a privilege.  Maybe we should also include politicians in this grouping.  And then you call an outfitter and guide, who'll take care of everything else.

And make your Gold Card turn a light tan in an afternoon...

A visit to Abercrombie & Fitch then becomes a requirement.  You'll drop $5 - $10,000 just in clothing and boots and fitments for the trip.  This does not include your rifle.  A "cheap" rifle adequate for "Big Five" hunting will cost at least $2,000, and a wonderful Holland & Holland double rifle could cost upwards of $50,000.  Gulp!  You're now ready for the next step...

While you're worrying about rich pukes killing off all the poor critters over there, understand how the system is currently laid out.  There are 12 game preserves in Africa.  Each is at least 100,000 acres, and a couple are nearly one million.  The preserves are set up entirely around the health and welfare of the animals.  Each has a veterinary hospital.  Each has environmentalists and ecologists and zoologists working for them.  And each has a police force bigger than most American cities to catch poachers.  The real threat to Africa's animals. 

Poachers are those who kill animals with abandon for their valuable meat and tusks.  An elephant tusk can bring as much as $250,000, making poaching lucrative.  And making the killing of poachers by the preserves Priority One.    

When you book your trip, usually a year in advance, you decide what you want to hunt.  And that question is usually answered by how much you want to/can afford to spend.  Hunting the Big Five could bankrupt an ordinary citizen.  Example:  An elephant license is $33,000.  That's to just hunt an elephant.  Usually for a period of 7 - 10 days.  You get your elephant in that period of time, or you don't.  The government, the license issuing authority, doesn't care.  

And that elephant license fee does not include the cost of your guide.  Figure than in at about $2,500 a week, usually including food and lodging.  And remember, all this could be for naught; there's no guarantee you'll get your elephant.  That's why they call it "hunting," instead of "finding."  

Then there's taxidermy.  No point in shooting your animal unless you bring it home, right?  So figure about 9 months and $5,000 for each of your prize kills.  Triple that for an elephant.  The costs just keep on adding up, continuing to fuel the economy of Africa.  

But let us concentrate on the real reason this whole thing works so well.  The money from the licenses and tags and taxes and fees goes to feed and clothe and handle the medical care of the local villagers.  The millions of local villagers.  They need protection from roving gangs of poachers.  And protection from wild animals if left to grow uncontrolled.  Like lions.  And Cape buffalo.  And hippos, the Number One killer of humans in Africa (!).  At more than 500 per year!  

Remember when the dentist from Cincinnatti shot the famous old lion by accident?  When he wandered off his game preserve?  Yeah, well the uproar was so great they stopped lion hunting for almost two years.  The dentist lost his practice and his license, and his wife left him, and he was prosecuted and ridden out of town on a rail.  The side story you never hear about is that since lion hunting was no longer permitted during this period the lions grew exponentionally in number.  And ate more than 200 villagers.  Before they regained their senses and resumed controlled hunting to thin the herd to acceptable - meaning safe - levels.

Another example:  all the meat from an animal shot on the preserves goes to feed the local villagers.  Their main source of protein is the animals taken by big game hunters.  An elephant, for example, produces an average of 6,640 pounds of meat after it's dressed.  That's 26,400 4 oz. meals, or enough to feed 850 villagers for a month.  

So, without that dead elephant, which the villagers cannot by law themselves kill, they'd starve.  Kinda' interesting if you look at it that way...

A lion tag is $14,440.  A leopard tag is $18,l30.  A rhino tag is $8,498.  A Cape Buffalo tag is $17,098.  And a hippo tag is $2,599.  After their various governments wet their beaks, the rest of this money goes to the various preserves to keep these beautiful animals alive.  WITHOUT GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE!  

An on-the-cheap, first-time hunt for a few plains animals, like the impala, and the gazelle, and the gnu, would still set one back more than $12,000.  So without hunters willing to spend, Africa's animals would soon disappear...  

And without conciencious hunting, they would all go away.  And Black Africans would starve... 

Just a couple of thoughts as I head out the digital door.  First, for the reasons I've outlined above, those who are against Big Game Hunting must be racists.  Chew on that for awhile.  Second, they call it "hunting," not "finding."  Just like they call it "fishing," not "catching..."

"COPS," (Part Deux)

My June 22nd posting, "COPS," Operating Under a Misconception," generated far more response than my little blog normally receives.  Owing to the subject matter more than anything else, I would guess.  It all came via emails and texts and phone calls, as it seems folks are hesitant to reply to my blog.

I don't bite.  

However, the response was predictable.  Pro-cop folks defended the cops, and anti-cop folks joined in with condemnation.  I received many examples of middle incomers getting nicked for a $500 ticket for 5 or 10 over with no traffic anywhere nearby.  From a surly "civil servant" who acted like a tyrant.  It pisses folks off.  It makes them think they're being figuratively sacrificed on the alter of "wokeism" to finance their illegal alien homeless shelters and their civil servant's Christmas party.  

Or "Holiday" Party, if it's in a Big Blue City... 

If you doubt my comment up there, ask yourself why our In(fer)ternal Revenue Service spent $1,500,000,000 of our tax money, that's with a "B," on firearms to have something to put in the shoulder holsters of their brand-new 87,000 Agents.  That's $One and One-Half Billion Dollars.  Of Glocks.  And Smith & Wessons.  And Sig-Sauers.  And a veritable boxcar full of ammunition.  More than 100,000,000 rounds!  To make sure they can blow a hole right through you, the taxpayer, if you happen to get on their bad side.  Or simply threaten to.  Which works almost as well...

BTW #1, that $1.5 Billion would have built 250 miles of wall on our Southern Border.

BTW #2, did you know that "Turner vs. Driver," a Supreme Court decision, permits you, the Citizen, to record the actions of your police and fire and other first responders in the conduct of their duties, subject only to 'time, place and manner?'"*  

And "Terry vs. Ohio" proscribes that before asking a citizen for their I.D., cops have to believe a citizen "has committed, is commiting, or will commit, a crime."  Absent that, no I.D. from you.  They'll ask, but you don't have to provide.  Since the average cop doesn't know this, watching their actions should prove priceless.

And did you know that our 1st Amendment to the Constitution makes each of us a journalist?  Able to record and report on anything we as a citizen desire?  Just a suggestion, install a dash cam with rear view.  It might save you a bundle from a fradulent citation.  And an investment in a body camera isn't a bad idea, either. 

We employ road pirates to roam around looking for $income and promotions via the wallets of those they're here to "protect and serve."  Don't help them.  Learn all you can about the laws they use to separate you from your cash, and you'll hold on to your cash...

And did you know that California penal code 148.G specifies that you do not have to identify yourself to any peace officer unless there is RAS: "Reasonable Articulable Suspicion."  The cop has to articulate the RAS before you're stopped before you have to say a word.  And you do not have to say a word, BTW.  You do not have to identify yourself in CA until you've been arrested, fergodssake!  

(All bets are off if you're driving.  You have to present that license upon request.) 

UNLESS, you are a passenger.  Then the 4th Amendment kicks in.  You must remain "...secure in your person, your home, your papers and your effects."  Therefore, unless there is RAS, as a passenger you don't have to identify.  

Pull this one and watch the cop go nuts.

And then there's the "Plainview Doctrine."  This little Supreme Court decision allows the police to search your car with a flashlight and their eyes on a traffic stop.  And if they see something incriminating, even if they are in error, you're toast.  Similarly, that same "Doctrine" permits you to record them, their cars, their activities, and anything your eyes can see from anyplace you're legally permitted to be, subject once again to "time, place and manner."

See "go nuts," above.

And as we're rounding the Clubhouse turn, lemme' add this: cops and sheriff's deputies and constables and all other first responders are below you on the food chain until or unless you break the law (see above).  They work for you.  Until then, they are "civil servants," like the guy who sweeps up their HQ, who've taken an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.  And you are the "civil" for whom they labor all day.  Unfortunately, the activities of many of their cadre bely their stated goal, as they do not seem to know what I've written above. 

I think many of them think they are our appointed gladiators to go forth and seek out lawbreakers and evil doers and bring them to heel.  Using their own specific laws if the ones we provide them prove insufficient.  Unfortunately, since our schools stopped teaching civics when they started teaching D.E.I., many of our newer cops don't know squat about your Rights.  So you'll have to educate them.  Which could prove messy.  And land your ass in jail.  

And lastly, I believe that many cops exist to get your I.D.  It's like crack to them.  It's the only way in many cases that they can hem you up for wants and warrants.  And then hook you up and take you off to the Gray Bar Hotel.  Which makes their day.  However, you have the absolute Right to your anonimity so long as you're operating within the law.  And (lotsa' "ands") it's a good idea to learn at least as much about the laws that can impact your pocketbook as the police who are authorized to take your money.  They had 40 hours of legal training in the Academy.  Only.  Years ago.  Focused around taking your money from traffic stops and the like.  You should have many more if you wish to protect yourself from these city-sanctioned road pirates.  As I blared out earlier, they just won't know how to handle it.  Plus, it could be entertaining.  

Ahem.

Sorry for the foul attitude this morning.  I'm just in a bad mood as I write this, having realized that I'm a 25 year-old dude being held hostage in a body nearly as old as Joe O'Biden's.  And nobody's stepping up to pay the ransom.  My bones creak and my corpsucles aren't corpsuckling so very good.  Thank God I gain in both mental acuity and knowledge for every day I live.  What a shame our POTUS can't say the same.  Or nearly anything legibly.  Thus earing the moniker, "Mumbler-in-Chief.'  So I apologize in advance for the rude and unseemly commentary which will surely follow.

Which usually means it's right as rain.  

Talk with you in a couple of days, fellow Pilgrims.  After I oil up my gun collection, which should take the rest of the morning, I'll make a tasty lunch of my signature bacon cheeseburger, fries, sweet pickles and a cherry Coke.  Plus that old faithful carmel swirl ice cream sundae, with carmel and choclate sauce, and sprinkles, of course.  After every. single. meal.  Never know when it'll be one's last.  I'll then load up the Jeep and head off to the mountain cabin, away from all the hubub and lying, power-hungry, money-grubbing politicians.  

One can't get a speeding ticket in the woods, can one?  

*   Among the bad habits I've never taken up, becoming a lawyer is one.  Therefore, please presume that all the jailhouse legal advice provided above is absolutely worthless.  And could wind your ass up in jail.  Truth is, the poor bastard who wrote this has been kidnapped by a band of roving Gypsies and hipppmotizzzed into believing we still have Constitutional Rights.  You're thus warned...  

Something ELSE I Never Thought I'd Read...

So we heard in last Friday evening's news dump that Noah Gragson, up and coming NASCAR racer, has been suspended.  

                      Indefinitely.  

What did he do?  Murder?  Rape?  Complain about a "noose" hanging from his garage door, like Bubba Wallace did?  Nope.  While our Boy Guv here in Taxifornia is kicking hardened felons out of Stage 4 prisons, 63,000 in just the past two years, NASCAR apparently has someone scouring social media postings for various faux paus committed, in their view, by their chess pieces.  Their pawns.  Their little income generators.  The folks who drive their cars around in a circle, while good ol' boys whoop and holler!  

And that company drone found out that Noah had "liked" a meme making fun of George Floyd.  Or, "St. George of Fentanyl," as I prefer to call him.  A hardended, drug-addicted, drug-dealing ex-inmate, high on fentanyl, whose entire sordid life was scoured of its evil by a cop's knee.  A cop who killed him, and his awful, multi-generational reputation, in one swell foop.  

They actually built a statue to this puke!  

So this meme superimposed the St's face on the crab in "The Little Mermaid" movie, and changed the soundtrack to, "Unda da knee, unda da knee!"  Funny, right?  Or is NASCAR's butthole so tight it's lost its sense of humor?

BTW, NASCAR truly was full of good ol' boys.  That's where it all started.  A Southern institution, and one of our last.  A last bastion against CPDLW's (commie pinko dumbass liberal weenies)?  Well, no longer, fellow Patriots.  It's gone over to the Dark Side.  

Now it's just Megan Rapinoe, except with cars instead of balls.

Anyway, Gragson "liked" this meme.  He thought it was funny.  But NASCAR is the most recent captive of the "woke."  It's therefore enforcing a paragraph in his contract making exercizing the Right of Free Speech by their little pawns reason for dismissal.  Straight to the showers for you, loser!

I'd like to insert a thought right about here.  One you need to read no matter what you think about me and my politics.  Our Founding Fathers decided to put the Freedom of Speech as our 1st Amendment to the Constitution because without it, we're not free.  And Freedom in this new Experiment of a Country was everything.  So they told us all there was a fulcrum upon which America is balanced; the Freedom of Speech.

We must be free to stand on that figurative soap box, in the middle of the Town Square, and utter complete horse pucky, absolute drivel, totally inane nonsense, without fear for our safety.  Because only the marketplace of ideas would move our young Country forward.  

And to make sure we had that Freedom, our Founders placed the Right to Keep and Bear Arms as our 2nd Amendment, right behind the 1st.  To protect that guy on that soapbox from anyone who would try to take away his Right to Free Speech. 

                       Got it?

Now we get back to Gragson's purge as a paen to the lefty scorns out there.  The 3 or 4 or 5 people in their underwear, in a basement in Cincinnnatti, directing the assault on American values on behalf of the O'Biden Administration, have struck again.  Leaving the half of America not yet hipppmotizzzed by Leftism absolutely outraged by the loss of another conservative cornerstone.  

And we don't have all that many left...    

So Gragson's "like" has cost him his job.  And is absolute proof that America has lost the 1st Amendment.  We no longer have the Right to free speech.  We're reapidly losing the 2nd Amendment as well, but so long as there's 100,000,000 armed Americans, like me, owning nearly 500,000,000 firearms, I can still breathe (relatively) easy...

Headed off with the dog and the guns and the cache of ammo to the mountain cabin, to prepare for a long and unpleasant (insert your season).  

Goodbye America, it was fun while it lasted...

The Great Pyramid.

As many of you already know, I'm pretty sure I'm a reincarnated Pharoah.

An ancient Egyptian Pharoah.  From way back.

Perhaps even Ramses III, the very greatest of all Pharoahs, I'm thinking.  He ruled for more than sixty years, BTW, which is even longer than Joe O'Biden's plans call for.  

I have no evidence for this belief, I should say about here, but it's just an inkling.  Because I'm intensely interested in all things ancient Egypt.  For a dozen reasons at least.

And don't lie, you probably are too.     

And one of those reasons is the Great Pyramid of Khufu (or Cheops, if you're old like me).  He was a big-time Pharoah back in 2,580 BC.  They think that's who built it.  They're not sure, no evidence, except a 4" high statue of him found nearby.  But hey, he's as good a Pharoah as any to ascribe ownership, right?  It's the biggest-assed building of all time and we need to tie it to somebody, right?

But forget about who commissioned it.  Let me tell you a little bit about it.  I think you'll be astounded!  As am I...

     -  First, the Great Pyramid (GP) is 481' high and covers 13 acres.  13 acres!  snd you should know there are 43,000+ square feet in an acre.  Times 13 acres.  That's big.

     -  It has a footprint of 592,000 sq. ft.  If that doesn't give you a sense of its size, a COSTCO is about 200,000 sq. ft.  

     -  Each of its sides are 722' long, and deviate in length from each other by far less than 1".

     -  It was one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and is the only one left standing.  It was the tallest structure on Earth for more than 3,000 years.  

     -  The pyramidal, gold-plated "cap" originally on top of the GP is missing, otherwise it would be at least 20' taller than it currently is* 

     -  The GP is built from 2,800,000 stone blocks, each weighing between 2 and 1/2 and 25 tons.  Each.

     -  The GP was built pointing to true Cardinal North, and is only 3/60th of a degree off.  That makes it the most accurately built building on Earth.**  Still.   

     -  These gigantic stones came from a quarry more than 500 miles away.  By crews who cut them, rough-shaped them, and then transported them by ship all the way up the Nile to the GP.  It was there they were offloaded, final-shaped and ultimately set.  

     -  It was built over a period of 20 years, they think, to become the burial place for Pharoah Khufu.  They think.  However, no ruler was ever found buried in any of the more than 100 pyramids uncovered so far.  Nor were there any hiroglyphs or other writings in the GP to help solve the mystery.

     -  The GP weighs in at a portly 5.9 Million Tons.  

     -  Interestingly, if one does the math, dividing 20 years' worth of minutes back through 2,800,000 stone blocks, they would have had to place one every five minutes, around the clock, in order to make that "deadline."  Pun intended.   

     -  The GP, and all the other pyramids, were built by craftsmen.  Who worked for the Pharoah during the off-planting season.  The period when the Nile flooded.  Which it did annually.  They hoped.  Slaves need not apply.  Imagine this: they worked for bread and beer.  Only.  This was obviously before some enterprising worker later conjured up a thing called "unions."      

     -  The GP was built in the exact center of all the land masses on Earth (east/west and north/south axes).  By design, no doubt.  Someone's design, no doubt.  We're just not quite sure whom.

     -  Now pay attention here: twice the perimeter of the base of the GP, multiplied by 10 to the 8th power, yields the radius of the Sun.  Say wha...?

     -  And here's one worth your time.  The speed of light is 299,792,458 in m/s.  The GP's Global Positioning System's coordinates are - ready for this? - 29.9792458 degrees North.  Could that be an accident?  Don't think so. 

     -  And just to make this whole thing seem even less likely, they had only copper tools for stone quarrying, no iron or bronze.  The copper came from mines in Lebanon, hundreds of miles away.  Copper was more valuable to the ancient Egyptians than gold!  They searched their workers every day to make sure they weren't taking any home.  And those tools needed sharpening several times a day.  

Nor did they have the wheel.  

Nor beasts of burden.  

Only the backs of their laborers.  

Now then, does anyone still believe they did all this without the assistance of those, ummm, you know, L.G.M. up there? 

As Rameses III would say, don't think so...

*   There are several "pyramidia" on display at Egytian museums.  Some of us, as in ME, believe that the spacecraft bringing their LGM, were pyramidal in shape.  And they endeavored to mimic it to encourage their hoped for return.  And you'll note those same pyramidal space craft are still in use today...
