It is time to shed worry and stress from my life.

 

Paraphrasing Matt Walsh here.....

There will never be unity. One side of the divide thinks that children should go to drag shows, women have penises, infanticide is healthcare, and all white people are racist while the other side is not insane.

File this under "I AM SO GRATEFUL"

Thank you God for the blessing of having more years in my rearview mirror than I do in my windshield. There is no way I could live 72+ years under this democrat/useful idiot utopia. Growing up and spending most of my years in Norman Rockwell's America as a citizen of That Shining City on the Hill was the best that could ever have been for me.

BOTTOM LINE = so grateful.

SERIOUS PSA HERE...PAY ATTENTION

Elitist democrat, Nancy Pelosi will be following Barack Obama's lead in retiring to a multi-million dollar, ocean front estate while you rank and file democrats continue scrambling to:

1. Pay your bills.

2. Locate adequate medical care.

3. Mask up.

4. Social distance.

5. Shelter in place.

6. Flatten the curve.

7. Adjust to your new normal.

8. Deal with rising taxes.

9. Deal with rising gas prices.

10. Deal with runaway inflation.

11. Deal with rising heating and cooling costs.

12. Deal with rising costs of your medications.

13. Deal with your new role as beta tester for jabs.

**Just to mention a few**

BOTTOM LINE = I will never understand why you people continue to vote democrat. Was your butthurt from the Orange Man that bad?

PS: I hope you all have noticed that Elitist Pelosi is NOT retiring to her home state of California. A state in which she has done so much to destroy.

MAKE A NOTE:

 545 vs. 300,000,000 People

-By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. ( The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.)

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House?( John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. ) If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. [The House has passed a budget but the Senate has not approved a budget in over three years. The President's proposed budgets have gotten almost unanimous rejections in the Senate in that time. ]

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.

If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ..

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.

Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees... We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

BOTTOM LINE = Donald J Trump was owned by neither political party. He worked directly for We the People. Sadly, because of your butthurt, you all chose dementia.

I HAVE HAD MY FILL OF TODAY

 

DEMOCRATS ARE LIVING IN A FANTASY WORLD WHILE BURINING THE REAL ONE DOWN

For example

 As the Taliban prepared to retake Afghanistan, American military leaders pushed wokeness on the troops and the American embassy in Kabul trotted out the rainbow flag. As the Taliban conquered, the Biden team was producing a campy video with a gender-bending social media influencer.

These actions speak loudly about where the administration’s priorities lie. Instead of delivering basic competence, Democrats have stoked the culture wars and ushered in crisis after crisis, from rising crime to rapid inflation to an overwhelmed southern border to the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

There is ordinary incompetence here — Biden was a buffoon even in his prime — but adding extreme social leftism to the usual political greed and stupidity has been catastrophic, from the military to education to border security. The adherents of this ideology are not deterred by policy failures and political setbacks, allowing radical leftism to become the dominant ideology in the Democrat Party and among the institutions that support it.

A Reality-Denying Make-Believe World

This ideology is a substitute religion to which they are determined to forcibly convert the rest of us. It’s also a childish, narcissistic, self-indulgent ideology that results in incompetence and destruction.

For example, California has begun housing men in women’s prisons, and the inmates are reportedly “being prepared with free condoms and guidance on how to obtain an abortion in prison.” One woman concluded the government had “given the okay for them to rape us, cause you have a plan to take care of the aftermath.”

This is leftism in action. The problems of male prisoners who claim to be women could have been addressed without giving male sexual predators access to women’s prisons. But transgender ideology proclaims “trans women are women,” so fully intact men are being put in women’s prisons.

Ideology is obscuring reality, and leftist ideologues are acting according to the logic of a self-constructed fantasy world. In their world, critical race theory is part of military readiness, men can give birth and women can have penises, and lowering education standards and re-segregating public schools is anti-racist.

Godless Answers to Religious Questions

This is the decadent fulfillment of the leftist project of radically reordering the world. Since the French Revolution, leftists have sought the revolutionary remaking of man and society. They believe what is primarily wrong with the world is not, as Christianity teaches, human sin nature, but disordered social arrangements from which we can liberate ourselves. They view themselves as the prophetic vanguard of human liberation.

Marxism made obvious the ersatz religious nature of this perspective. Adherents believed not because they were convinced by the details of Karl Marx’s economic analysis, but because Marxism provided a godless answer to religious questions — what is wrong with the world and what is to be done about it? Acolytes thrilled to communism’s promise of apocalyptic class struggle (with its concomitant revenge against the oppressor) followed by an idyllic paradise.

This vision proved false, and murdered tens of millions before collapsing. But the fall of the Soviet Union did not end leftist dreams. Marx’s promise of liberation from economic inequality has been supplemented by other analyses of oppression and liberation. American leftists are now far more concrned with race, sex, and gender than with poverty and economic inequality.

The Commodification of Human Relationships

The liberation they seek goes far beyond freedom from material deprivation. Their struggle is against the given, finite nature of human existence itself, and the obligations it places upon us. They seek freedom from tradition, place, commitment, family, and even physical embodiment. Hence, the American left now easily coexists with woke capitalism, preaching a gospel of personal liberation via the self-creation of indulgence and consumption.

Woke leftism does not dream of the proletariat seizing the means of production. It endorses big government out of vague humanitarianism, as a means of support for marginal members and as liberation from relational responsibility. It seeks to commodify, professionalize, and subsidize work that used to be primarily done by families, churches, and communities. It aims for a society in which everyone is taken care of, but no one is personally responsible for anyone in particular.

The adherents of this petty and narcissistic creed can claim power and wield it, but they cannot achieve the ends they seek. For example, radical medical school students can intimidate professors into denying the reality of biological sex, but this will only produce bad medicine; it will not alter the sexual dimorphism of the human species.

Even as they lost Afghanistan to the Taliban, the Biden administration announced plans to revisit the contraceptive mandate. It seems that, whatever else happens, Democrats are determined to win the war on nuns who don’t want to pay for birth control.

BOTTOM LINE = This dynamic extends across our government and elite institutions, as woke advances only deepen our decadence. In the end, the woke creed will fail, but it might bring our nation down with it.

I KNOW A FEW THINGS BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN A FEW THINGS

 Sunday, August 22, 2021 11:01 AM

Nevertheless, I am still enchanted with life. My only real sadness today is that the youth of America will not be growing up in Norman Rockwell's America or listening to Motown when America was indeed that "shining light upon the hill".

Elections have consequences

 Councilman Vincent Cavaleri

When the weak lead, people die. As the humanitarian catastrophe continues to unfold in Afghanistan, the bumbling and incompetent Biden is nowhere to be found. Last reports have him hiding in Camp David, sitting at a table by himself, while the Taliban goes house to house searching and slaughtering innocent Americans and Afghan’s. They have surrounded the airport with heavily armed Taliban soldiers; and are screening and photographing anyone asking for access to the airport. At this point, they are running the show. I watched several Afghan citizens attempting to access a barrier set up by the 82nd Airborne division by climbing to the top of the wall. These people and their families have been labeled and targeted for death by the Taliban for helping America, so their only hope is to save their children. As my eyes filled with tears, I watched parents passing their children to American soldiers in the hopes of getting them out of country and to America without them. Many mothers and fathers didn’t make it to the airport and were beaten to death in the streets just outside Karzai airport. Some were whipped to death, others pummeled by the Taliban mob. People were waving their passports to American soldiers in the hopes of being allowed access on to the airport. We all watched in horror as an America C-17 transport plane was forced to start rolling on the tarmac with hundreds of people running alongside. The cargo plane was carrying roughly 800 people out of country and would have been overrun without the Airforce pilot making this life saving decision to get the aircraft into the air. Thankfully, 800 souls were transported to safety. As some would be passengers clung to parts of the C-17 outer shell, the plane lifted into the air. Video shows these poor people falling to their death as the cargo plane ascended into the sky. For them, the mere thought of being taken by the Taliban was enough for this act of desperation. I could not help but be reminded of my fellow American citizens in the World Trade Center opting for this desperate act as well on September 11, 2001. Amnesty International has been reporting on the brutality since July and this will undoubtably get much worse with the vacuum the United States has created. Make no mistake, we own every bit of this, with Biden and company having the lions share. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, NSA director Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Blinken and of course the cackling vice president Kamala Harris make up the cast of newly appointed buffoons in charge of this humanitarian mess. Their unique skillset of having no clue on foreign policy is one thing they all have in common. As this chaotic scene continues to unfold heads should roll immediately. The folks listed above are Biden’s chief advisors and they not only dropped the ball, but single handily manufactured another global humanitarian crisis. If they can do this to the American border, then Afghanistan is a piece of cake. Would this have happened on Trump’s watch? I assure you no, they simply waited for the incompetent weaklings to take charge. Despite repeated intelligence warnings, these nincompoops thought they were smarter than everyone else. They assumed they had months to draw down and evacuate in the face of the Taliban advancement across the country. At the very least, American citizens should have been fully evacuated months ago. Unfortunately, we must sit and watch this travesty unfold as the body count will undoubtably rise. It’s hard to imagine things getting much worse, but I assure you they will. As I listen to Biden’s current press conference it is abundantly clear he still believes he has the situation in hand. He and those around him will continue to place American lives in jeopardy and make the world a more dangerous place. To hear him double down on his botched response is unconscionable.

ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES...
