SO MANY TAKEAWAYS FOR 2018...

I choose this one:

• In the human species, there are two sexes...MALE and FEMALE.
• 99.93% have either XX or XY chromosomes.  All the rest are mutations.
• Being one sex but thinking you're another is a psychological disorder.
• Mandating a widespread enabling or acceptance of a psychological disorder is sociopathy.

File this under "HAVE YOU EVER LOST ALL RESPECT FOR SOMEONE"?

You don't hate them, but at the same time you have come to the realization that they are toxic and to continue to associate yourself with them is unhealthy.

FILE THIS UNDER "I WAS THINKING"

*  Since only 11 million people have Obama-Care, how will 24 million people die if it is repealed? Will an additional 13 million people be randomly shot?

*  If Donald Trump deleted all of his emails, wiped his server with Bleachbit and destroyed all of his phones with a hammer, would the Mainstream Media suddenly lose all interest in the story and declare him innocent.

*  If women do the same job for less money, why do companies hire men to do the same job for more money?

*  If you rob a bank in a Sanctuary City, is it illegal or is it just an Undocumented Withdrawal?

*  Each ISIS attack now is a reaction to Trump policies, but all ISIS attacks during Obama's term were due to Climate Change and a plea for jobs.

*  After the London 'Lone Wolf' terrorist attack government officials arrested at least eight other 'Lone Wolves' who had conspired with the original 'Lone Wolf' in planning the 'Lone Wolf' attack. Why do they tell us even though all involved are Muslims, you can be assured, the 'Lone Wolf' attack has nothing at all to do with Islam, just like the other 1,000 plus 'Lone Wolf' attacks by Muslims, are completely dissociated with Islam.

*  We should stop calling them all 'Entitlements'. Welfare, Food Stamps, WIC, ad nausea are not entitlements. They are taxpayer-funded handouts, and shouldn't be called entitlements at all. Social Security and Veterans Benefits are Entitlements because the people receiving them are entitled to them. They were earned and paid for by the recipients.

*  If Muslims want to run away from a Muslim country, does that mean they're Islamophobic?

*  If Liberals don't believe in biological gender then why did they march for women's rights?

*  How did the Russians get Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the DNC to steal the Primary from Bernie Sanders? How did Russia get Donna Brazile to leak debate questions to Hillary Clinton in advance of the debates?

*  Why is it that Democrats think Super delegates are fine, but they have a problem with the Electoral College?

*  If you don't want the FBI involved in elections, don't nominate someone who's being investigated by the FBI.

*  If Hillary's speeches cost $250,000 an hour, how come no one shows up to her free ones?

*  The DNC is mad at Russia because they 'think' they are trying to manipulate our election by exposing that the DNC is manipulating our election.

*  If Democrats don't want foreigners involved in our elections, why do they think it's all right for illegals to vote?

HERE'S A SUGGESTION.....

If you encounter something that offends you, simply don't":

• Watch it.
• Listen to it.
• Look at it.
• Tell us about it.

Why should the rest of We the People have to suffer because of your whiny arse and because you cannot engage in a civil discourse about it!

I LOVE THE SMELL OF DESPERATION IN THE AIR.....

Mueller is embarrassed and he’s desperate. It’s obvious to anyone with half of a functioning cerebral cortex. All of Mueller’s “star witnesses” have flopped miserably so now Mueller is desperately clinging to a known liar in the hopes he’ll fabricate the collusion fairy tale Mueller desperately wants.

This “investigation” is a total disgrace.

IMMIGRATION 101

Once upon a time there was a frog. 

One day, Frog was sitting by a river bank when along came a Scorpion. 

“Hello brother Frog,” said Scorpion. “I wonder if you might be so kind as to give me a ride across the river on your back.” 

Frog knew that Scorpion could not swim. “I don't think that's a good idea,” said Frog. “You have a deadly sting. You might kill me.” 

“But why would I do that?” replied Scorpion. “If I stung you, we would both die.” 

“Mmm,” thought Frog. “That makes sense.” “Alright Scorpion, jump onto my back and I will give you a ride across the river,” he said. 

So Scorpion jumped onto Frog's back and Frog began to swim across the river. 

But halfway across, Scorpion took his deadly sting and stuck it into Frog's back. 

And as the poison filled Frog's body his arms began to stiffen and they both began to sink. “Why?” gasped Frog in despair. 

“Sorry Frog,” said Scorpion. “It's my nature.” 

And Frog and Scorpion died.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

• Republicans vote up to and including Election Day.
• Democrats vote until their candidate is declared the winner.

PSA

Texas recently flipped a State Senate seat from blue to red after being held by the democrats for 139 years.

Wanna know how?
Texas passed voter ID laws!

Imagine what the rest of America would look like if illegals and dead people could not vote democrat!

ASKED AND ANSWERED

Q:  Why do the democrats and their legion get away with voter fraud?
A:  Because We the People let them.

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW...

When will the democrats ever learn:  Problems cannot be solved when you all are busy resisting, obstructing, subverting, arguing, dividing, encouraging people to aggressively confront others everywhere and riot against America.

MY TAKEAWAY FROM 6 NOV.....

• The democrats winning the House will now give them more than enough rope to hang themselves.
• Their insane, anti-American behavior will serve as wake-up alarms to more and more Americans for 2020.

PSA

Think about this scenario:

• Democrats win tomorrow and re-take Congress.
• Nancy Pelosi will become Speaker of the House.
• Third in line for POTUS is Nancy Pelosi.

Borrowing a phrase from Smokey the Bear:  ONLY YOU can prevent this...Vote Republican on 6 Nov.

THINK ABOUT THIS WHEN YOU ARE CASTING YOUR VOTE ON 6 NOV...

Because of the democrats and their liberal policies, it has become necessary to deploy the military to our Southern border.

THINK ABOUT THIS...

The democrats and their legion are calling for comprehensive background checks on law abiding, American citizens but not on the caravan invaders.

100% FED UP

Standing in the pharmacy line last evening, there was an older couple in front of me discussing which medications they could skip so they could also buy some groceries.

Now...for all you people who support open borders with American taxpayers providing the invaders with food, clothing, shelter, medicine and healthcare, I have two words...SCREW YOU!

REALITY 101

• The democrats and their legion will see to it that the first caravan will make it through to interim camps where they will spend the winter with warm beds, three hots, schooling, medicine and healthcare at taxpayer expense.
• The word will get out to everyone, worldwide, that The United States has no borders.
• From there, anything goes.  We can expect regular caravans and ocean liners, likely on a monthly basis, each containing tens of thousands not just at our Southern "border".
• At first, Arizona and Texas will take the brunt. 
• Later, the governors of Arizona and Texas will become irritated that the rest of The United States is not accepting their fair share.
• Then, in what seems like the blink of an eye, the rest of America will be sharing in the wonderfulness that Arizona and Texas was blessed to enjoy.
• Bottom line = Taxpayers, brace yourselves and welcome to Obama's fundamentally transformed America.

All because of three things:

1.  America does not have the brass to defend itself, and

2.  The democrat party is determined to increase their voter rolls by any means necessary, and
3.  The republicans in Congress have neither the spine or stones to stand up for our Constitutional Republic.

NOW, THIS IS FUNNY!

A woman in Georgia who does not pay her taxes is running for governor so she can raise your taxes.

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.....

Is it just me, or, has anyone else noticed that the people who are beserking over changing the 14A are the same people who are rabidly trying to eliminate the 2A?

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW...

Is "the ply guy" AKA "the frisky seal"?

PSA BR10302018.1

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" does not mean that we must accept everyone and cannot screen out the undesirables.

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!

What a difference a day makes...In my youth, I would 'Trick or Treat' all around our town, in the dark with no concern about compromised treats or someone lurking to do harm.  The kids of today are really missing a cool experience.

If my memory serves, I recall not only gathering some mighty fine treats of candies and home baked goodies everywhere, but especially, some scrumptious popcorn balls at one particular home in town.

My sympathies to the kids of today...you were born too late.

REGARDING OUR NATION'S BORDERS.....

It's time to PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND.

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.....

In spite of all the facts and evidence of good things happening to and for America and Americans, why is it that the overwhelming majority of the media, democrats and their legion believe that the greatest threat to our nation is our POTUS, Donald J Trump and his administration?

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.....

What gives here:

*  The alleged mail bomber had Trump stickers all over his van, however, on Twitter, the 32 people that he follows are mostly left wingers like Lina Dunham, Barack Obama and Jimmy Kimmel.

*  After only two DAYS of investigations, the FBI "found" the alleged mail bomber.

*  After two YEARS of investigations, The FBI has not "found" any collusion.

PSA BR 10292018.1

America and its Constitutional Republic will die if we continue to allow liberals to use our public schools as their ideological indoctrination centers.

PUBLIC SERVICE REMINDER

Just so you all don't forget. 
Years have now passed and yet these 12 people are still dead.

VOTING FOR THE NEXT ILLINOIS GOVERNOR

My experience and common sense tells me that the Democrats are counting on us Republicans to either:

1.   Abstain from voting completely, or
2.   Skip over the Governor's race, or
3.   Divide ourselves by voting for third party or write-in candidates.

My conscience will not let me accommodate the Democrats.

I will be voting for Bruce Rauner.

Should it be that J.B. Pritzker comes out victorious, I will have NO REGRETS because I did what I could to prevent that from happening.

BOGGLES MY MIND!

Here in the Land of Lincoln, we have:

• A billionaire campaigning for the office of governor.
• A billionaire who used questionable tactics to reduce HIS tax bill.
• A billionaire who, however, openly pushes to increase OUR tax bill via increasing the old and adding new means.

Nevertheless, as I travel around in Illinois, I see these signs planted in public and private places.....

FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.....

Thank you democrats and legion for your rabid efforts to create a new National Hero!

Renaissance Faire Fun

Renaissance Faire Fun

WE TOLD YOU SO

• The system of corruption that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were in charge of is beginning to unravel. The Inspector General's reports are just the beginning. More and more information will come out that will prove how unimaginably corruption of the previous administration.

• And, I am not above of saying..."We told you so"!

MEMORIAL DAY AND ME

In my youth, we knew this day as "Decoration Day".

My Grandmother Stella and Mom would make sandwiches, fried chicken and various sides with lemonade to drink.

My Granddad Amos, Pop and I would load the lawn mower and other small hand tools into our car, a 1949 green Plymouth which Pop had named The Green Hornet, and head out for a day of cleaning various family plots in local cemeteries.  Granddad Amos also had some foul smelling liquid in a pail that he would use with a wire brush to clean the headstones.

First, we would head out for a couple of country cemeteries in Massac County, whose names now escape me.  The family names I do remember and they were Keeling and Taylor, my Grandmother Stella's people.

Next we would again load up The Green Hornet and head out for a rural cemetery in Johnson County named the Rentfro Cemetery, my Granddad Amos' people.

After we finished with those resting places, Granddad, Pop and I would find a nice shade tree and take some time to enjoy our lunch that Granny and Mom had prepared for us.

This was especially enjoyable for me because I got to listen to my Granddad and Pop tell stories of yesteryear, their youth experiences and enjoy this fellowship with men.

After lunch, we again loaded up The Green Hornet and headed out for another rural Johnson County Cemetery, Casey Springs, where more of my Grandmother's people are resting.  Their names are Keeling and Fairless.

Our last stop of the day would be in Vienna at the Hess Cemetery where more of my Granddad Amos' people are resting.  I do not recall their names.

This activity on Decoration Day for the three of us continued for several years.  Then it was just me and my Pop.  Then I graduated from high school, moved away and that was the end of that chapter.

As I look back now, all these years later, what I wouldn't give to have just five more minutes of cleaning family plots in Johnson County with those two men.

I DO MISS THIS.....

Summers spent at Philmont, high country camping/hiking in Western Canada the Western States and miscellaneous State and National Parks across this country in all seasons and all kinds of weather.
