The "Other Half" Speaks...

It's not often that members of the "other half" get a chance to express their opinion in today's America.

Nope, the opinion of those between the Hudson River and the Sierra Nevada matters little.  To anyone besides each other.  As in, One Half of America...

That's because their voice is seldom requested, or heard.  Because it's never considered as a part of our Body Politic by our "MainStreamMedia."

Those folks are all located, BTW, in a six-block area in Mid-Town Manhattan, New York City, Liberal America.  They all work together, shop together, and maybe sleep together.  And by their own admission they're 95% Liberal.  So why would we expect their slant on our news to be anything other than Liberal?  

So it's heartwarming when an event happens every now and again that enables the "folks" out there in 'Murica to have a say.  Heartwarming...

Such as has been happening with the Bud Light fiasco.  That half of the Country whose opinion is neither solicited nor appreciated finally got the chance to give a collective "finger" to those who are tinkering with its once-Greatness.  A thirty-something, Haaavid grad Anheuser-Busch hired to manage the Bud Light brand thought it had a "fratty," "out of touch" image.  One that needed to be updated.  By hiring a tranvestite named Dylan Mulvaney.  Who was celebrating his/her/its one-year anniversary as a "girl."  

Without having had his/her/its male parts removed, I might add.

So Bud Light's owner hires snitty Alyssa Heinerscheid as its V.P. of Marketing, and she hires a tranny as its new spokes man/woman/it.  And then "We, The People" had a chance to respond.  And we did so by boycotting Bud Light in the extreme.  To the tune of more than a $6 Billion Dollars drop in share value.  A 17% drop in market share.  I because nobody's buying it, I just read they're preparing to dump millions of gallons of going-out-of-date beer.  

Well, boo, as they say, friggin' hoo!  That's some reeely big bucks, there!  

As they say, "Go Woke, Go Broke."

When was the last time you heard of such a backlash? I'm guessing it won't be the last.  I sense that Body Politic is beginning to flex its muscle, and I doubt it's the last time.    

And now we have corporation CEO's all competing against each other to see who's the "wokest."  They have an index called "Environmental, Social and Governance," by way of which that competition is measured.  And by trying to make their companies pollution free, free speech free, and profit free, they're running their them into the dirt.  Disney, as an example, has lost more than $100 Billion Dollars in market value meddling in politics.  At an average cost of $5 billion per new park, Disney could have built 20 of them by simply keeping its mouth shut.  That's The Folks talking there, Mickey!   

We, The People, are finally getting our chance to respond.  And that response could lead us into a recession, and will surely carry over into the upcoming General Election.  We'll compete in the Marketplace of Ideas, where it all counts...

A New Income Opportunity!

Getting up there in age?

Living on Social Security, if one can call that living?

Getting hosed every month by Uncle Joe's inflation while going ever deeper in debt?

Maybe you could use a new income opportunity, especially one that doesn't require too much heavy lifting?

Well I got one, fellow Pilgrim!  And all it requires it that you get your fine self to the once-Golden State, put on a dress and start stealing.  From any store.  Up to $950.00 per day, per store.  And even if the store calls the fuzz, and even if the fuzz comes (not likely!), all they'll do is write you a $50.00 ticket with no court appearance date! 

I recommend you choose Lost Angeles or San Franpoopco to do your "five finger discounts," as they're experiencing a cop shortage in the extreme.  San Fran's down some 40%.  That sorta' thing happens when you "defund the police."  Imagine, the only folks dummer than the City Fathers and Mothers and Others in San Franpoopco and Lost Angeles, are the dummies who keep on voting them in.  I'm of the opinion they deserve what they get... 

And as we've all found out of late, the Soros-installed District Attorney kicks almost all the misdemeanor beefs, so there's a better chance of you winning the lottery than being forced to pay for your Liberal-approved "crimes."  And after all, stealing is just a modern-day way of paying reparations, right?

RIGHT?

And don't forget to tell them you identify as both Black and gay, as they are now "protected classes," and one may not say a disparranging word about either.  And "identifying" is all that's required to assume the mantle of either.  Or even both, like me!

So get yourself a dress, hop a train or a plane, and we'll see you here ASAP.  And bring a calculator.  Wouldn't want to cross that $950.00 threshhold and risk getting a felony arrest, now would we?  Of course, more than half of all felonies are reduced to misdeneanors here, and mis-D's are kicked, so no biggie even if you did...

Remember the good ol' days when the Punishment Actually Fit The Crime?  It was just reported that only 320 individuals were responsible for more than 6,000 crimes over the past 12 months in New York City.  Damn, California, you gotta' catch up!  

Show Some Commitment, Dud(ette)!

For those of you who don't know, my formal training should have resulted in my becoming a licensed clinical psychologist.  And I was well on my way to achieving that goal until a career playing professional pool, and racing cars, and the Army, and a family got in the way.

Not complaining, mind you.

But back to the subject at hand.  I was trained that about 3% of our population are true transvestites.  Meaning those who dress up in the clothing of the opposite sex.  Those suffering from a true case of gender dysphoria.  To the extent that they go through with all the requisite steps to fully change their sex.  To include having what's called "bottom surgery," which in male-to-female cases entails the removal of the testicles and penis, and then vulvoplasty or vaginoplasty to complete the transformation.  

That's what's called true commitment.  And those willing to go this far earn my respect.  Those who don't, simply don't...

If you Google it, you'll discover that about 8% of our population now identify as transvestites.  Or roughly 20,000,000 of our fellow (can we still say that?) citizens.  Not the 3% who would earn a diagnosis of gender dysphoric, but 8%.  Or, roughly 14 million currently identifying as trans...fully.  They are simply "identifying" as trans, which is all that's required by any law in America.  Just put on a dress and "identify."*  

And that number would include one Dylan Mulvanney, Bud Light's spokesman/woman of the hour.  He/she is celebrating 365 days as a "girl." While still wearing the trappings of a man, I might add.    

Would those "identifying" as female include some or all of the males currently competing against our women and girls in high school through collegiate, and even professional sporting competition?  

Ummmm, YEAH!

So here's my solution: if males want to compete against our daughters in the pools and on the volley ball courts and the wrestling mats of America, and then shower with them when it's all over, let them first show their commitment.  Let them first have their genitalia chopped off.  Removed.  Done away with.  That should more or less end the debate, now wouldn't it?  

What say you? 

*  BTW, that "identifying" thing isn't all bad.  I'm "identifying" as both Black and gay so as to qualify for San Franpoopco's reparations giveaway.  I could use an extra $8,000,000, couldn't you?

No Guns? Grab a Knife...

136 people get stabbed every single day in London.

That works out to a little more than 14,000 folks a year.  On the streets of the largest city in the United Kingdom.

And not to be outdone, there are more than 45,000 knife attacks in all of the United Kingdom annually.

It's so bad Over There that their Parliament debated outlawing all knives with blades of over 4" in length.  Once again, blame the weapon, not the crazed wierdo who uses it.  Remind you of the Left's campaign to outlaw and then confiscate our AR-15's and AK-47's?  And all other firearms, should they get their wish.

Famous shouty chef Gordon Ramsey even made an appearance in front of their House of Commons begging them to get some common sense on this issue, otherwise he might not be able to prep his clients' meals.  There are even cardboard boxes on street corners in downtown London begging folks to turn in their knives and stop the carnage.  

Yeah...

Why, you might ask, are so many people the victims of knifings in the U.K.?  Simple, I'd say.  Firearms are outlawed, so the Brits go for the next best thing.  When you want to kill somebody, you grab the most lethal thing you can get your hands on.  And that's now knives in the U.K.  And if knives were outlawed, which they're trying to do, they they'd probably go for Louisville Slugger baseball bats.  Human nature's a bitch, as they say...

There are more stabbing attacks in the U.K., you might be interested to know, then there are shootings in the U.S. of A. (45,234 vs. 45,923).  Close, but still more.  And considering there's 4x more of us then there are of them, I'd say they're stabbing the piss out of each other!  I'd also like to thank God they don't have guns!  

And oh yeah, 57.4% of all our firearm fatalities are the result of suicide.  And were guns not available it's assumed these folks would have found another way (poison, drugs, exanguination, slicing wrists, etc.).  And 37% were murders.  And more than 70% of those murders were from Black-on-Black crime in the Big Blue Cities of America.  And as we've learned from the U.K., if somebody wants to kill you, they'll use a knife if a gun isn't available.  And if you're interested, 975 of those deaths (1.88%) were unintentional.  And 755 (1.49%) were "authorized" killings by cops.

CA's own Boy Guv's released more than 62,000 hardened felons from our prisons in just the past two years.  While signing 112 anti-gun Executive Orders.  Those in authority like this entitled puke work overtime to disarm us.  Knowing that a disarmed society is a compliant society.  I think I'd rather have the Gubmint fear me then the other way around.  How 'bout you?  

And on the way out the digital door, I'd like to say...

if only 5% of the ducks were armed, we'd never go duck hunting again...

Every Single Democrat...

Let me start by saying I'm the father of four daughters.  So my biases are duly noted.

There was a vote in the House of Representatives this past Thursday.  It was for the "The Protection of Women and Girls Sports Act," of 2023.  It served to update the "Title IX" Act of 1972.  The one we've all lived under for more than 50 years.  

This Bill was intended to elevate girls' sports to a level of equality with that of boys.'  And it did so.  Only partially by preventing boys from competing in girls' sports.  Which should be a big "Duh!"  I personally couldn't imagine a single reason why anyone could be against this new Bill, so I was interested in learning the results of the vote.  Perhaps you were as well.  Ready?  The Bill carried the day with a 219 - 203 vote.  Every single Republican voted for the Bill... 

...AND EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT VOTED AGAINST IT! 

Think about that: every Democrat voted to keep 6' 3," 225' men swimming in competition against 5' 5," 110' females.  And competing against them in volleyball, and soccer, and rugby, and LaCrosse, and basketball, and track, and weightlifting, and every other single sport!  And then take a nice hot shower alongside them when it's all over.* 

Once again, Democrats are all for this.  They are a bunch of "woke" sicko perverts. 

Whatever you choose to vote for or against in the next Election, if you're a father of a daughter, or even one of those "birthing persons" the Libs keep talking about, and you don't vote against these crazed Democrats, you should hang your head in shame...

*  Instead of simply putting on a dress and calling themselves a "woman," which is all that's currently required, I suggest we demand that all men professing to be women have their private parts chopped off before entering competition.  I'm sure Planned Parenthood would be happy to assist.  Agree?  

Strategic Capitulation:

                             Woke:  

                                /wok/informal/us/

"A state of awareness only achieved by those dumb enough to find injustice in everything except their own behavior."

Listen up, fellow Patriots.  I'm about to lay upon you the absolute Bottom Line.  So read it as if your life depends upon it.  For it just may well...

Factoid:  It's no longer advisable to try and fight the war of ideas when those we're fighting to convert, to "see the light," are dumber than a bag of rocks.  And recent polling tells us that the younger female voter is voting first and foremost over the issue of abortion.

So, I'm therefore suggesting that we declare a strategic capitulation.  As in, we give up.  Sort of like what O'Biden did in Afghanistan, except without folks falling off our cargo jets and all.  But we do so in a manner that permits us to ultimately win the war later on down the line.  Here's my suggested new Campaign Platform:  

            "Unfettered Abortion, for all!"

It appears that "birthing persons" have been scared by the so-called "MainStreamMedia" into believing that the only issue they should care about is abortion.  Not national security, not high taxes, not out-of-control immigration, not crime in the streets, not fentanyl, not even gun deaths.  Just abortion.  And its have-to-have availability up until the third grade, one must presume.  

But those still dumb enough to get pregnant in an age of $9.95 a month (or even free) birth control pills are also too dumb to understand that "Roe's" cancellation by the Supremes last year was a good thing.  Because it returned control over their bodies back to them, the individual voter.  But that won't matter if these same folk are too damm dumm to know how to vote! 

I mean, think about it:  College campuses are arife with our best and brightest using the "Right of Free Speech," to protest against the Right of Free Speech.  I'm gobsmacked by that one.     

So I, The Chuckmeister, say that we simply wave the White Flag.  So long as our MSMedia is the Enemy of the People, filled up to the brim with commie pinko dumbass liberal weenies, which it is, let's tell them we want lots and lots of abortions, too.  And that we'll make it available to them so they can continue copulating shamelessly without benefit of b.c. pills, and then aborting their would-be offspring whenever the spirit moves them.  Their future no-doubt Liberal offspring, btw.  After all, them there Planned Parenthood centers are right down the street, right?

NOTE:  While we'll outwardly declare our love for Planned Parenthood, we'll do so knowing that only Democrat/Liberal/Progressive "birthing persons" will choose to use it.  Our womenfolk won't!  So, over time, they'll simply abort themselves into irrelevance.  Into non-imporance.  Sort of like spaying puppies, the unwanted ones will be slowly eradicated over a generation or two.  

Evil plan, what?  

(Did I mention that Planned Parenthood has aborted more than 17,000,000 Black babies since that noted racist Margaret Sanger, R.N., created it?  And had our Black population avoided that fate there would be twice as many Black folks in America as there are today?  Thought you'd like to know that...)  

Reparations (Part Drei)

I just read that the "California Commission on Assuaging White Guilt," or something like that, is close to its final recommendations on how much OPM (Other Peoples' Money) to dole out to its minority Black minority.  Aggrieved Black minority.  For their votes (editorial opinion, there).

Or maybe it's not recommendations, but an order.

So even though CA entered the Union in 1850 as a Free State, meaning it never permitted slavery, and slavery never occurred here, the "wokeness" of San Franpoopco's apologist politicians have been so eaten up with the dummmass, that they've decided to proceed as if they had.  

Yes, it's a long sentence, but I specialize in long senences...

And the only reason why our Boy Guv Newsom breathed life into this flawed and unconstitutional group of apologists is to help assuage their "White Guilt."  Well, including greed and jealousy.  And in this case, using their taxpayers' money.  In really creative ways.  Let's explore...

They've agreed that the "floor" of this taxpayer giveaway will be $223,000, with a maximum discussed thus far of $8,000,000.  For each of its 16,500 Black residents.  And me, of course, as I identify as Black and also "++" long-time resident of this once-beautiful city.  And identifying is all that's required!  Can you dig it?  And I don't want anyone thinking I'm attempting to latch onto a stupid, foolish dummmass giveaway.  Nosireeee Bob! Or whatever pronouns you choose to use.  Not me! 

How to pay for it has been the sticky wicket.  But I think they've come up with a couple of solutions.  First, they want to raise property taxes on those (remaining) few filthy rich residents.  They'll call it a "mansion tax."  On top of Boy Guv's new "mansion tax" just imposed.  Whether the properties they intend to tax are mansions are not, makes no never mind, I'm sure.  They'll wind up taxing everybody by the time the dust settles. 

Of course, this'll be made difficult by our Proposition 13, voted in by our taxpayers back in 1975.  It sets the taxable base on properties at 1%.  And It will take a supermajority vote of the people to overturn it. 

Not gonna' happen.

The other choice is to raise income taxes, similar to how New York City taxes New Jersey residents for "permitting" them to work in its city.  The commies.  SFO could do that to, they say.  Impose a tax on those working in the City and living somewhere else.  If you can call that living.  Imagine stepping over piles of poop and drug addicts to get to your Union Square $100 per plate lunch.

That might be just enough to make those still residing there to throw in the towel and head off to Utah.  Or Nevada.  Or maybe Arizona.  Or perhaps Texas or Florida.  Nearly 600,000 of our fellow neighbors packed up and bailed out in just the past two years.  What's that sound you hear?  It's the roll-up door on the back of U-Haul trailers slamming shut as they prepare for their journey east on the I-10... 

Those 600,000 have fled for anywhere else.  Anywhere!  Because that "anywhere else" is not likely to have vagrant druggie addict criminal bums camping and pissing and shi*ting on their sidewalks, and gang members jacking their cars, and muggers sticking a knife in their neck for their wallets, and gangs of smash-and-grab thieves knocking over stores in broad daylight while they shop.  

Occurring daily at a store near you.  

So even though I'm pretty sure there won't be anyone to pay these taxes, I have a couple of suggestions for this august commission to consider:

     -  How about some reparations for the Chinese, while we're handing out OPM.  They built our railroads, and probably got nothing but rice in return.  Plus lots of beatings.  And the folks building those railroads all lived in San Fran back then.  So how about some $Cash for them?  The fact that their heirs worked hard and got educated and don't now need it is beyond the point.  I'd say they'd settle for a flat $5 Million each.  Of course, the Chinese are not on our Christmas list now 'cause of that balloon thingie, but that's them over there, and there's a lot of them over here, too. 

     -  Or how about the Irish?  Like me.  They (my folks) came over in droves during the late 1800's, due to the potato famine.  They were dirty and foul and considered subhuman, the "elite" thought.  They were treated like dogs.  In fact, I still have some "generational rage" over this, which gives me PTSD, and I would like to know with whom I should speak to maybe get some of that cash being thrown around.  In fact, every bar and restaurant in NYC had a sign in its window back then stating, "No dogs or Irish allowed!"  So I say give them Micks some $Money.  (And me too!).  Write back and I'll tell you where to mail my check.

     -  And the Jews!  They were treated oh so badly by the Nazis, and by the Italians, and by the Russians, and the Venetians, and by nearly everyone else down through history.  Because, like the Asians, they were successful.  And even though California hasn't punished the Jews, in fact we "gave" them a bunch of movie studios, I still say we pretend that we did and give them a casino or two.  Call it "The Dreadle."  I like that.

     -  We don't have to give reparations to the Indians (natives, first persons, indigenous cousins,whatever).  That's "woo woo" Indians, not "red dot."  We already gave them a monopoly on gambling here in CA more than 20 years ago, and now there's Indian casinos everywhere!  Scalping the White man (and the Chinese, for some reason) as serious payback.  And now We the People could use that as a model for future giveaways.  I say we take a few of the Indian casinos and give them to the Irish and Chinese and Jews.

But wait!  This just in!  The Reparations Commission, which was scheduled to have its final vote on suggested payoffs, couldn't do so because one of its 3 members was stuck in Columbia.  No, not South Carolina, or Missouri, or Mississippi, but the Country.  One of the Commissioners had been partying in a Hooters there and was too hung over to catch his flight home.  Yes, really.  But I'm sure he'll straighten up and vote right when or if he finally returns.  And when that happens me, your friendly Black gay San Franpoopco resident, be the newest $Multi-Millionaire in Murrieta...

**NEWS FLASH!!!**  One of San Franpoopco's Co. Commissioner's just put forth a proposal to end their prostitution problem.  He proposes to make it legal.  Like they've done with herion, and crack, and marijuana, and meth, and now fentanyl.  I think they're secretly trying to rid themselves of their homeless by permitting them to kill themselves...

LGBTYadaYadaYada...

Be advised that some of our friends who aren't at all happy with who they are, but aren't quite sure who exactly they want to be, have ganged up on us "regular" folks and quietly become the loudest and most dangerous voices in politics.

Yes, fellow Patriots, the "LBBTQIA2SPA++"* crowd have grouped themselves together like the Texicans once did against Santa Anna.  So much so that the O'Biden Administration just issued a new change to Title IX, that ruling we've acknowledged for more thabn 50 years now.  That ruling that protected girls participating in girls' sports.  That ruling that required one to be a girl to participate.

Duh!

Anyway, O'Biden just threw a  hand grenade into that law.  He made it quite alright for full-grown men to now compete against girls in school sports.  And made the law superior to any the various states might pass.  Nice.  I'm sure there will be a ton of lawsuits decrying the unconstitutionality of that ruling, but until then, O'Biden has once again upset that proverbial applecart.  Like he's done to damn near everything else that made America great.

So I have a suggestion.  How about we create a new lane for these nice folks to compete.  With each other.  Not us, them.  So if you self-identify as any of the acronymzzz listed above, you just stand in that line when you're signing up.  Simple.  The boys continue to compete against the boys, only; the girls continue to compete against the girls, only; and these "acronym" folks compete against each other.  I'd say it might even be entertaining.  Any other solution is so much bulls*it.  

And then there's my OTHER proposal.  Since they're ganging up on us poor (taxpaying) souls, how about we gang up on them in return?  How about the White Folk, and the Black Folk, and the Yellow Folk, and the Red Folk out there in 'Murica get together and send these Loud Folk back to whence they came?  Hmmmm?

Remember, I'm just a guy willing to say what most of you are thinking.  

What say you?

*   "l (esbian)," "G (ay)," "B (i-Sexual)," "Q (ueer, which includes non-binary, genderfluid, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming)," "I (ntersex)," "A (sexual)," "T (wo-Spirit)," "P (ansexual)," "A (lly)," and "++," which presumably leaves room for lots more disaffected souls to find a refuge in the future.  Unfortunately...

Stop Mentioning Race!

It seems to me that promoting national unity is not helped along by creating and applauding diversity.

I was just subjected to another of those Public Service Announcements on a cable TV channel blatantly pandering to Black folk.  "Celebrating Black history month!," the banner cried.  Just like it recently "celebrated" "Indigenous Peoples' Month" and "Pacific Islander Month," and "Puerto Rican History Month."  

Something tells me these broadcasters are trying to throw a bone to their minority populi, and their guilty White Liberals, in an effort to, a) hopefully engender support and viewership; b) try and keep the natives from burning down THEIR building the next time they feel frisky.

In fact, I don't mind it at all if folks of various and sundry backgrounds want to band together into groups, large and small, toward the accomplishment of a common goal.  Let's say a knitting club.  Or a Sunday afternoon model airplane club.  Or maybe even a political action committee.  After all, it worked well for the Boy Scouts of America until a bunch of ambulance chasers got ahold of it.  

But not, I repeat NOT, for a BIPOC-only meeting at the Student Union at 4:30 p.m.," as was advertised on the website of Haaaavid University one recent afternoon.

BTW, BIPOC means "Black, Indigeneous People, and Obstetricians and Chiropractors."  I think.

So I went looking.  I found the "United Negro College Fund."  I found the "Congressional Black Caucus."  I found the "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People" (isn't that passe?), and I found the Black Entertainment Channel.  All within the first sixty seconds.  I did not find the White polar opposites of any of these little non-diverse groups.  

What do we have to do to get Americans to start acting like Americans, and less like Blacks, or Whites, or Yellows, or Reds?  Or any other color?   I, personally, am a pleasing shade of light tan.  In case you wondered.  Should we take this further and have a White's-only NRA?  And a Blacks' only NFL?  Oh wait, we already have that.  And how about Asian-only M.D.s?  Ummm, one of "them" just operated on my neck.  Isn't it all getting to be a bit ridiculous?  Aren't they all just Americans?

BTW, wouldn't you have liked to be there the day God decided that Mexicans would be gardeners, and Koreans would have all the laundries, and Blacks would play basketball?  Hmmm.

I say lets get rid of the "Blah Blah History Month" and all other divisive advertising.  I say start extolling the virtues of the biggest and the free-est and the best-est Representative Republic on Earth!    

In fact, I suggest we never, ever again use the race of an individual in describing anyone on TV or in print unless it was in the reporting of a crime.  

You might want to think about that a little bit.  The benefits could be manifold.  And if you agree, pass it along...

"Just Because You Can...

 ...doesn't necessarily mean you should."

Did you know that the Legislature here in California passed 1,154 Brand-Spanking New Laws last year?

Entirely, completely, overarchingly, sickeningly, brand-new laws.  On top of all the thousands and thousands of laws we already had.  On all sorts of various and sundry things.  On everything from "fixing" "global warming" to mandating the use of power from twirly windmills instead of the millions of barrels of fine crude oil underneath our collective feet.  Which we already own and can extract on the cheap.

Because that's what a CPDLW* Legislature does, apparently.

Because when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail, doncha' know.

And then our Boy Guv Newsom, nephew of San Fran Nan Pelosi, and Godchild of J. Paul Getty, decided to sign 997 of them into law.  He bragged about vetoing (only) 151 of them, "Saving the citizens of my State billions of dollars," he said.  Without mentioning just how many $Billions the 997 he decided to sign will cost the put-upon citizens of Taxifornia.

The ones who choose to remain in the once-Golden State.

Not me, 'cause I'll be dead and gone before most of the costs kick in.  But my neighbors won't.  Those who decide to remain in this "Progressive" Hellhole...  

47 of California's 54 counties are owned and controlled by the Democrat Party.  Did you know that?  That means 85% of California's counties are controlled by the Democrat Party.  And each of those Democrat Assemblymen (what we voters call professional thieves), once gathered together into a neat little cabal with our Senate, also stacked full of Democrats, mean they have a "Supermajority."  That means they can pass any law, about anything, at anytime, for any reason...

                 ALL BY THEMSELVES!  

They don't need - or - probably want - a single Republican vote.  In fact, you could probably shoot off a cannon if front of the Sacramento Statehouse and not hit a Republican.  I was thinking of running for the Assembly, and if and when I won I'd just stay home.  And collect my bloated $114,877 per year salary.  No one would notice anyway.  Put simply, common sense is in short supply here in the once-Golden State, as I shall hopefully demonstrate.

Lemme' give you an idea just how hemmed-up we CA citizens really are.  On top of the more than 60,000 Federal statutes to which we Americans must accede, there are another 60,576 sections in California law.  Sections!  Into which thousands of individual laws are then placed.  From whether a particular act should be declared illegal, and whether it should be a misdemeanor or a felony, and then how we should go about punishing that antisocial behavior.  Assuming our Soros-bought District Attorneys decide to file them.  All that totals up to, you ready for it?

         395,608 individual, separate laws.  

That, fellow Patriots, is the very most in the Nation.  Far more than #2, New York, which is at fewer than 270,000 laws.  In short, we are the very most regulated people in the U. S. of A, and also the home of the most lawyers.  There are more than 266,000 lawyers in CA's Bar Association.  A speeding ticket here now costs on average a whopping $565.00!  We're the most hunted, and caught, and fined, and incarcerated  people in the Country.  

And also the ones most often let loose.  Especially let loose.**

When was the last time you heard of a so-called "mass shooter" that we didn't later learn had a rap sheet as long as your arm.  That the FBI hadn't been "following" for years.  With 30, 40, even 50 prior arrests.  And releases.  Our permissive society has grown a whole new generation of those who believe they can get away with murder.  And they often do.

Perhaps if we actually made our young criminals pay for their crimes, we'd stop having old criminals!  

Well DUH!

There was a representative case here in our West Covina last year where a guy stole a car at 10:00 p.m.  He gets caught, charged, taken to jail and then released.  By L.A.'s let-em-loose D.A.  He then steals another car at 7:40 a.m. the next morning.  He gets caught.  He's jailed, and then once again released.  He stole his 3rd car at 4:45 p.m. that same day, caught again, jailed again, and released!  For that's what our District Attorney makes happen out here.  George Soros' money put permissive D.A.s in 20 of our largest cities.  The Big Blue Cities, usually in the North, but in L. A. and SFO as well.  And these District Attorneys, the ones who decide which cases to try, are in charge of the lives of more than 70,000,000 of our citizens!  

And boy, are they scared!

BTW, Alvin Bragg, the D. A. in Manhattan County, NY, is the crook who decided to file felony charges against Donald Trump for a bookkeeping error.  Murderers go free, while apparently requiring an NDA can get you 34 felony counts.  Would anyone have actually predicted this s**tshow?

Only the shoplifters, the thieves, the perps, the criminals, the rapists, the muggers, the burglars, the carjackers and the murderers get special consideration here in the once-Golden State.  The hardworking taxpayers, who pay for all of this, with their money, and sometimes their blood?

They get bupkus.

When I moved here there was a Republican governor, a Republican Assembly, and a Republican Senate.  There was very little crime, few unnecessary laws, a vibrant belief in the 2nd Amendment, and D.A.'s dead set upon prosecuting crime.  And then we let Democrats begin to creep in.  And like I stated in an earlier rant,

"You let a camel get his nose under the tent, pretty soon you got a camel in your tent."

The Sacramento State House is full of camels...

*    "Commie Pinko Dumbass Liberal Weenies."  

**   Lost Angeles and San Franpoopco Counties compete with each to see how many of its felons not to charge as...felons.  L.A. marks down 52% of felonies to misdeneanors and SFO is close behind at 51%.  That means you can kill your mother-in-law and wind up with 90 days in the county jail for Elder Abuse...

438 Agencies?

There is no one Federal Government

There are the three main branches of Gubmint, Executive, Legislative and Judicial.  I hope we all learned that in high school.  At least I did, but perhaps our younger set didn't, preferring rather to play with their little phones and plan their next protest against the Freedom of Speech or their 2nd Amendment Rights.  

And below them are the 15 agencies that also are Cabinet-level appointees, such as Defense, Agriculture, Energy, Labor and Education.  And that's more or less all we mere peons ever get to see.  Just what's there in front of us at press conferences.  To which most of us pay little or no attention.

But below them are - ready for it? - 438 separate agencies.  Employing more than 1,800,000 busy little bees (one would hope!).  And one should, I believe, look at our Federal work force not as a group of folks united toward a common goal, all properly trained and managed and earning their bloated paychecks, but rather as members of disparate individual groups all doing exactly whatever the Hell they want.  In other words, not ONE Government, but a bunch of separate governments, all bumping into each other and overstepping each others' turf.

Let's take that last one, Education.  There are more than 4,000 Federal Department of Education employees in Washington, D. C.  And another 2,769 in the California State Education Department.  I'm sure there's a proportional number of state Ed workers in each of our other 49 states.

Now all that's nice, I'm sure, but we all agree that none of these Federal or State Education Department employees teaches a single, solitary class full of students.  Nor I doubt that they could.  Because they're employed to just push paper around on their desks.  But wouldn't we all agree that those who are closest to the issue, the challenge, the problem, are the ones most likely able to effectively handle it? 

As in, the teachers? 

And of course, these employees are on top of our County education boards, which oversee each individual school board.  There are more than 16,800 school districts overseeing more than 190,890 separate K-12 schools in America.  An average of some 2,600 students per school.  And why, I ask, do we need folks in the District of Columbia telling us how to educate our kids in Salina, Kansas, and Tempe, Arizona, and Little Rock, Arkansas, when we have local boards in each of those counties to establish the curricula and then assure it's followed, and county supervisory boards to make sure that they do?

Do we really need all these layers of bureaucracy?  Do we really need more than 200,000 highly-paid bureaucrats between our students and those who claim to supervise them,  instead of putting the money where it will make our kids better educated?  I think not.

I was told all of this when the Army first stationed me in the District of Columbia, and got to witness it first-hand.  Just think about this: Our taxpaying parents are shoveling out an immense dollar amount to get our single greatest Natural Resource, their kids, the right to a quality education.  For which they're paying dearly.  And getting bupkus in return.  

Did you know the average property taxes in Long Island, New York is $11,239 a year?  That's the average!  And roughly 77% of that breath-taking amount goes for - ready for it? - school taxes?  

They're paying for a good education for their kids, they're just not getting it.  They've finally figured out they're getting hosed, and so are their kids.  And that's a primary reason why New York residents (and CA's, too) are fleeing to Florida, and Tennessee, and Texas, and South Carolina, and so many other "Red" states which are delivering school choice and a DEI/CRT-free curricula.    

As I've been saying lo these many years now, it won't be too long before there's no one left here in Taxifornia but sign twirlers and Starbucks baristas.  Except it shant be long before those sign twirlers won't be able to afford those $8 cups of coffee...     

The 1st Annual Chuckmeister Film Festival!

The famous French philosopher and economist Alexis De Touqueville was a big fan of America, given his country was fighting back against their Crown at the time.  That was back in the late 18th Century, it was.  His country had no freedoms based, like our own, upon the inherent God-given rights of Man.  However, he opined that America, should it ever fail, would do so from within.  It would do so, he said, once the "ruling class" discovered it could buy its compatriots' votes with their own money. 

He said that such a fate had befallen ancient Greece, and Persia, and spectacularly, Rome.  And that he feared such a fate would ultimately befall all democracies, including America's own Representative Republic. 

And when our body politic grew so soft and ignorant and focused on other unimportant things, he opined, that they would crumble in the face of the next enemy's aggression.  

Such as is now happening.  

However not to be all gloomy and such, even though we're now witnessing America in decline for the very first time in our lives.  We still need a little entertainment every now and agin to take our collective mind's off the sh*tstorm unfolding all around us.  I'm therefore extremely pleased to announce...

...the "1st Annual Patriot Film Festival" to be held right here at the Chuckmeister Compound!

Or, "Fortress Chuckmeister," as we like to call it.  

And in honor of the beginning of the end of America, the day after we ceased to be the Bastion of Freedom for the World and became its laughing stock, secured by a rogue, Soros bought-and-paid-for District Attorney, I thought it might prove shickles and tits if we screened one of my all time fave movies:  

             "Blazing Saddles."

Yep, only those of us who understand the true meaning of Freedom are invited to this Film Festival.  It's truly an "underground" event, to be enjoyed only by those adult enough to do so.  Only those who can take a joke, especially one from a Hollywood Liberal like Mel Brooks, its Director, are invited to attend.  And only those who are unafraid of being "canceled" by their Progressive friends (or enemies) can punch their ticket here at Chuckmeisterville.

And yes again, this 1974 movie won two Academy Awards, didja' know that?  It cost about $45.00 to make and generated more than $One Hundred Nineteen Million Bucks in boxoffice ticket sales.  Didja know that?

It won for Best Actress and for Best Film Editing.  And it was a major-league hoot!  It starred Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Slim Pickins and ex-Detroit Lions middle linebacker Alex Karas, among others.  Annnd, its star was a terrific actor named Cleavon Little.  He's a Black fellow who the Governor, played by Harvey Korman, offered to spring from prison on the condition that he'd become the sheriff of a little town named Rock Ridge.  A town the Guv wanted to dry up and blow away so he could take a saddlebag full of cash from the railroad for the land upon which it then sat.  And a town which was sure to fill this Black sheriff full of bullet holes on Day One, the Governor thought. 

Except it didn't.  Before long Little as "Sheriff Bart" was leading these racist townsfolk on choir lessons.  The same ones who had earlier in the movie called him the "N-WORD" a total of 38 times, if I counted right.*  So if you have sensitive ears, you might want to stay home and watch the Hallmark Channel instead.  Except your ears are likely just fine if you're reading this unassuming little blog.  

And it was perhaps the funniest film ever made.  That was back in the day when we could laugh at ourselves and each other without somebody getting offended and calling the ACLU.  Jokes which cannot even be told today.  And that's why most stand-up comedians are now pumping gas.  So if you're reading this, consider yourself invited to the Festival to beat all Festivals!  Date and time to follow...  

(Oh yeah, and I'm planning to later show an endless loop of reruns of Archie Bunker and Meathead and The Jeffersons and a dose of Red Foxx and, and, and.  Ya' think that might be fun?  And if you have an acquaintance that needs to be "baptised" into the culture we've only recently lost, this could be a great introduction.)  

*    Doncha' just hate that term, "N-Word?"  Back when I was coming up we could use that same "N-Word" anytime we wanted.  And we would not be "canceled" if we did.  Nor did we use the "b-word," or the "c-word," or the "d-word," or any other moronic alphabetical escape hatch.  We didn't use it, by the way, because to do so would be impolite.  And impolitic.  And certainly not in the presence of Black folk.  It was a socially-unacceptable word we could use anytime we wished, but didn't.  And don't you now find it interesting that the Black and White positions on the issue have exactly flipped?  Black rappers use the "word" indiscriminately all day and all night and we Whites would rather stab ourselves in the leg with a rusty screwdriver than be caught using it.  And in fact, were we to be caught doing so our lives would be just about over.

Such is what "social media" has wrought.  I've long said it shall be the bane of our existence.  We're now watching that prediction come true...  

The Chinese Spy Balloon Went...EAST!

While we await a National Divorce, or perhaps the next civil war to unfold, I thought I'd opine on a subject apparently outside the ability of many Leftist bozos to understand.  Ready?

All of you who were paying attention noticed that the Chinese spy balloon that was first noticed above the Aleutian Islands, which is waaaay out west, almost to Russia, in fact, continued on its merry journey...east. 

For the directionally-challenged Leftists among us, that's from whence the sun comes up.  Got it so far?  Good.   

The spy balloon crossed Canada first, and then over our most sensitive military installations in Montana, and Idaho, and Wyoming.  Where all our nuclear ballistic missiles are stationed.  And then on to Nebraska, where our Air Force Command calls home.  And then on to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Missouri, where we keep our B-52's and B-1's and B-2's.  And then Tennessee, and Virginia.  Nice.

Until our feckless, corrupt, chocolate chip-loving, Left-wing, addle-minded, Deep Stage stooge of a President, who only lies when his lips are moving, decided to finally shoot it down over the Atlantic Ocean.  After it had gathered all the data it had paid the corrupt O'Biden family for, I'm guessing.

After all, records show his family has vacuumed up more than $3 Million Dollars of Chinese money.  So far.

That tells you all you need to know about so-called "climate change."  Or "global warming."  Or "climate chaos."  Or whatever their polls tell the "sky-is-falling" Democrats will work to finally sway public opinion.   

That means that our "climate," or what we educated folks call the "atmosphere," moves east to west.  And the Earth, that thing we're standing on, moves west to east.  Or, put simply, they revolve opposite to one another.    

That news should be kind of important to our undereducated Wokesters, don't you think?  

Sooooo, the "climate" over Shanghai today, will be over our Hollywood celebritards' mansions next Thursday.  Those same folks who are bending over backwards to try and "fix" our "climate," with your money.   

And I'm guessing the Chinese, who are opening two new coal-fired, electricity generation plants every month, while we argue about pronouns, are duly appreciative.  Since they're doing bupkus to help the "climate."  As in, nothing.  Zip.  Nada.  Nothing.    

Or the "atmosphere," as we educated folks once again like to call it.

Soooo, please continue all your efforts to clean up Chinese skies.  At our expense.  After all, we can afford it, right?  We've borrowed more than $9 Trillion Dollars over just the past two years...from the Chinese...to make it happen, right?  And they really, reeeeely appreciate it, I'm sure.

So even those of you who couldn't pour piss out of a boot will now know the truth; that "climate" thing is a ruze.  A boondoggle.  A scam.  They're blowing smoke up our collective as*es.  A way to try us cough up our hard-earned dough with a smile on our faces.    

Are you going to put up with that?
