A Swim in a Septic Tank

I was once again immersing myself in the overflowing septic tank known as the Democrat Party Platform. Let the sewers begin overflowing.

“We will make energy efficiency upgrades for millions of low-income households, affordable housing units, and public housing units in metropolitan and rural areas to save families money on their energy bills and provide safe and healthy homes. And Democrats will leverage existing programs, including at USDA, to build more affordable, accessible housing and retrofit existing housing in rural areas.”

Sounds noble but there’s a couple of overlooked issues here. First, where will the money come from? Second, there are these pesky things called local zoning laws and ordinances, so how is the federal government going to build anything…unless they overrule those local laws and ordinances. What they are saying is they will build what they want where they want and screw you and your concerns; you’re just a racist, homophobe, and bigot. What’s that called again? Oh yeah, government overreach. Once again the (National Socialist) Democrat Party is wiping their feet on the Constitution. See the 10th Amendment.

“We will make sure the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes.”

Blah, blah, blah. This overused, tired line is the same red meat they always throw out, but never do. Why? Because they’re not going to do that to themselves.

“Corporate tax rates, which were cut sharply by the 2017 Republican tax cut, must be raised, and “trickle-down” tax cuts must be rejected. Estate taxes should also be raised back to the historical norm.”

Let’s see, corporate tax rates went down and businesses started hiring, moved back into the U.S. gave raises and bonuses. Regular people had more money in their pocket. “The wealthy” in the high tax states have to “pay their fair share in taxes” and the high tax (‘rat run. I might point out) state governors went not because wealthy people started fleeing. And as for estate taxes, you do understand that they are taxing money and property that has already been taxed before. Talk about a scam.

If you read the document, it’s a socialists dream. When I referred to it as a septic tank I was being polite, because I’m not allowed to use the actual word for what goes into a septic tank. And if you watched that indescribable dumpster fire called a convention all you heard is we are all racists.

Hoisted On Their Own Petard

I’ve been reviewing the (National Socialist) Democrat Party Platform (using large dosages of Dramamine) and want to share some of the results. Because of the 400 word limit I’ll break this up.

Let’s start with gun control.

“We will close the “Charleston loophole” and prevent individuals who have been convicted of hate crimes from possessing firearms. Democrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and “red flag” laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others. We will pass legislation requiring that guns be safely stored in homes. And Democrats believe that gun companies should be held responsible for their products, just like any other business, and will prioritize repealing the law that shields gun manufacturers from civil liability.”

Where to start? How about “red flag” laws? First, it’s a violation of basic Constitutional rights and the very basis our system of jurisprudence which says you are entitled to due process and assumed innocent until proven guilty. Red flag laws allow anyone to make up a reason and allow your firearms to be confiscated without due process. Who sets the standards? What action will be taken against the person filing when it’s shown the complaint was bogus? What is the process and how long will it take to get your firearms back? Who is going to pay the legal bills for the defense?

Gun storage laws already exist on the state and local level. This is more government overreach.

As for holding manufacturers responsible that means when I’m involved in a traffic accident I can sue the car manufacturer?  Talk about a slippery slope.

Please define what an “assault weapon” is. Any weapon used against another person, a hammer, a knife, a pencil, can be considered an “assault weapon”.

Next, “We will reject the Trump Administration’s use of broad religious exemptions to allow businesses, medical providers, social service agencies, and others to discriminate.”

In other words, we need to get rid of that pesky 1st Amendment of the Constitution. It’s a deterrence to we, the Federal Government, which keeps ‘rats from becoming what the (National Socialist) Democrats constantly accuse President Trump of trying to do.

BTW MW, my source is the (National Socialist) Democrat Platform document.

The Republic Will Not Fall

We, the people on the right, the conservatives, and the believers in the republic/democratic/constitutional form of government, people who stand for the United States of America with and without its faults are finally starting to stand up against the dark forces, both inside and outside of government on every level. We are starting to see people actually act on that great line from the movie “Network” where the character Howard Beale, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!”

The spineless mayor of New York City announced the Tribute in Light commemorating the fall of the Twin Towers on 9/11 would not happen using the Covid-19 boogeyman as his whiny excuse after also cancelling the reading of names of those killed. But ordinary citizens, true Americans, stepped in and took over in order to make it happen, basically telling the (National Socialist) Democrat lackeys to stick it where the sun won’t shine.

A group of ordinary citizens stood up against an Antifa mob that tried to “peacefully” invade the community where the Seattle police chief lived in order to “peacefully protest” in front of her house. These modern Minutemen blocked the road, armed and demonstrating safe, proper handling of a firearm, but prepared if the anarchists wanted to escalate. It was a Lexington Green moment. They were prepared to defend their friends, their neighbors, and their property against unwelcome invaders. And the best part? The High Sheriff was there standing beside them.

An Antifa gang of cowardly criminals assaulted a man in a wheelchair at a Support the Police rally and were given a beat down and then arrested when police arrived.

Am I advocating for vigilantism? No…at least not right now. There would have to be a complete breakdown (read defunding of law enforcement) before I would go that far. But that is not to say I wouldn’t under the right circumstances.

The one bit of advice I would give those that stand up to the (National Socialist) Democrat party sponsored domestic terrorists. Play their game. Video everything from start to finish. If possible get more than one person that is dedicated to nothing but recording everything. Play by their rules. Use their tactics against them. The MSM may control most of the media, but they cannot stop the internet.

The Republic will not fall.

She’s Back!!! Hide the Children!!!

Everyone thought it was over. They thought the horror had finally been vanquished and forced into hiding in the deepest, darkest bowels of the earth never to be seen or heard from again. It became a thing used to scare children onto the straight and narrow. It became the subject of light jokes at adult parties with comments like “you’re still taking that seriously?”

Everyone was at ease. They’re lives returning to normal and things were good. But with no warning, with no sign it suddenly burst back onto the scene. And it did so with a vengeance.

Mothers dashed into the streets, grabbing up their children, rushing them into the questionable safety of their homes. Men were shaken to their cores, worried about what they could do to protect their families. Local government officials ordered old reached deep into the back of the lowest of their desk drawers for long forgotten plans that had been drawn up but thankfully never used.

What horror aim I describing? What potential disaster am I predicting? What ancient menace has struck such fear into Americans with the simple phrase “I’m ready to help any in any way I can”?

It’s the potential return of……. (dramatic ominous music welling up} THE HILDABEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s right folks, she’s baaaaaack.

May God have mercy on our souls, because she won’t.

General Ramblings

The Mayor of Chicago is claiming the looting that took place the city was not spontaneous but was planned and organized because according to her folks were showing up with U-Hauls, trailers and equipment specifically designed to, among other things, cut metal.

Of course the Chicago family of BLM (Black Lives Mafia) disagrees and says if we should just let the people run rough shod over the police everything would be fine.

Kansas Department of Health and Environment Secretary Lee Norman presented a coronavirus case chart to the media that was supposed to show the counties following the mask directive were doing better than the ones that weren’t. One problem…he manipulated the data on the chart to get that result. When it was corrected it was found that the no mask counties had fewer new cases then the mask counties. Oops.

In Austin Texas they are cutting the police budget by one third and “redistributing’ the money to other social programs, among them abortion access. God forbid someone should have to work hard to abort an innocent life because it’s an inconvenience, but its ok for someone to get murdered with no possibility of assistance.

At some point I will be opining on Uncle Joe’s pick for VP. And on that subject, I truly wonder if he really was the one to have made that choice. I personally believe we will be seeing a President Harris before the end of 2021, although on the other hand, having a clueless front man to take all the heat is a probability.

One thing that’s happen that I find so amusing is how President Trump made an end run around Commissar Pelosi and her minions on the relief argument. They so badly want to get more of OUR money to give away to their subalterns running their soon to become pestholes they call cities. They’re all whining about how they don’t have the funds to get stuff done. What that means is they don’t have the funds to buy the votes to stay in power.

Finally, we must get out the vote. This applies to every race from the local level all the way up to President. But not only get out the vote, but get out the educated vote. Research the candidates. Look at their record, if any. Contact them and ask questions…hard questions. And for those currently in office, hold their feet to the fire. Politely confront them and make your feelings known. In theory these people work or will work FOR YOU.

A Soulless Animal

I am about to put a blowtorch to exposed nerves and I dare any of you whiny, leftist, liberal, social justice whiners to try to justify your inevitable name calling, referring to me as a racist for the words I’m about to use.

A black man came out of his home, walked into the street and shot, execution style, a 5year old white child in the head in front of his 8 and 9 year old sisters then, like the cowardly animal that he is, ran back into his house to hide.

But what makes this even more sick, more despicable, more disgusting is the fact that the slime in the MSM ignored it until other news outlets gave it the coverage it required. They did this because it did not fit in their agenda. It was a black man that shot a white child. Had the roles been reversed they would have been camping out on his front yard with helicopters in the air, chasing down his family members, his neighbors, anyone who even might have known him looking for dirt. The coverage would have been wall to wall. Celebrities would have been tripping over themselves to beat their breasts and rend their garments on camera blaming white racism and privilege. We would have known what this guy had for breakfast for the last 20 years. Conservative news outlets and commentators would have been blamed for this guy’s actions.

Where are the mobs of protestors and rioters? In spite of what this piece of scum did there won’t be the level of condemnation there should be because people are afraid of being called racist. Screw that!!!

Let’s see, any time now we will be hearing about his hard life as a child, the lack of opportunities he had, his drug/alcohol/mental (take your pick) problems. He will suddenly have developed issues that make his actions not his fault.

In my opinion he needs to receive a fair, open, and speedy trial and when (yes, I said when) he is found guilty he needs to be given his last rights and executed. And I don’t mean 20 years from now.

Oh, and by the way MW and the rest like him, I would be advocating for the exact same treatment if he were white. The actions this animal took goes beyond skin color. It goes to a lack of soul.

To give you some reference, MW is one of a handful of people that regularly reply (often in a snarky way) to my posts in the Rhino Times Letters to the Editor. I generally post what I put here on there as well. The difference is I am restricted to 400 words there.

Play By Their Rules

I just come up with a wonderful idea to help law enforcement put a lid on the rioting mobs across the country. Let’s pass a series of laws that would semi-deputize the average, straight thinking citizen.

First, pass a law that says if you are in the street intentionally blocking traffic and get hit by a vehicle, the driver is exempt from prosecution or charges both criminal and civil.

If you are attempting to break into, burn, destroy, damage or loot a business or home and are shot by the owner or their agent, they are exempt from criminal or civil prosecution.

If you point or fire a weapon at another person and are in return shot, the shooter is exempt from criminal and civil prosecution unless they miss and hit someone other than the intended target.

Would anybody care to venture how long these (National Socialist) Democrat backed mobs would last if the protection of the law was modified to provide for instant karma for the illegal actions they do thinking they don’t have to act like civilized people. It wouldn’t be long before the cowardly leaders hiding behind the cattle were exposed and probably even find themselves being confronted by their puppets.

I always have been and always will be an advocate of the idea that you let the other side set the rules of engagement. Show a fist, I show a stick. The show a stick, I show a knife. They show a knife, I show a gun. They show a gun, I show a bigger and more guns. Oh, and one other important thing. I use it at the first sign of a hostile move on their part.

You escalate, I’ll escalate further. You deescalate, so will I. I don’t start trouble nor do I go looking for it, but I will not run from it. I fought fair once in my life and got handed my butt. That was the LAST time I fought fair.

Robert A Heinlein said it best…“An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.”

One last thing in closing, as a bone to the social justice whiners that have a problem with jailing non-violent offenders like possession for private use, trespassing, misdemeanor crimes not involving personal injury or property damage how about if we bring back the public stocks.

Just a thought.

Defund This

The “Defund the Police” movement is still going strong only they have figured out their politicians are not too keen on the title. Turns people off, so they change the name to “redistribute the funding”. They just won’t say where the funds to “redistribute” come from, even though everyone knows. So, with that in mind I have a proposal. One that will make those politicians put their money where their mouths are, or at least show them to be the hypocrites they are. (Like we really have to try to do that.)

Someone needs to propose legislation eliminating the taxpayer funded personal protection details for all public officials from the Congressional level down. If they want personal protection it will have to be at their personal expense. Additionally they will be levied a special 2% tax on their salaries that is to be earmarked for “redistribution” Also all these “non-profit” organizations that advocate for this “redistribution” will be required to immediately cease all salaries being paid to anyone in their organization and the money reallocated for “redistribution”. An annual audit by the IRS will be required to maintain their non-profit status and failure to comply will result in the immediate termination of that status.

I say if they want to play with our lives and safety they have to have some skin in the game. Their lives and families are no more important than ours, despite what they might think of themselves. Let’s see how long these stupid ideas last when they are in the crosshairs with the rest of us. This needs to be the first in a series of actions by us, the regular American people, to regain control of an out of control situation.

Defending the police, doing away with bonds, ignore the law, releasing convicted criminals for “humanitarian reasons” are incredibly stupid decisions made by incredibly stupid people that aren’t worried about it because they are immune to the results, and were put into these positions of power by voters, some of whom voted the way they told to vote.

You’ve heard the saying those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it. So, with that in mind…

Vive les Etats-Unis!

Vive la liberte!

Let’s see how many of you can figure out what I’m referring to.

Protecting Your Vote

The (National Socialist) Democrat party and their leftist, Marxist/communist, social justice whining, mind numbed zombie minions along with the graduates from the Goebbels School of Journalism are well into their attempt to “fundamentally transform the United States” (remember that one from Dear Leader?) by attacking one of the major, major pillars of our Republic, that being the right, the privilege, the duty to vote.

This whole notion of voting by mail is so incredibly stupid, wrong, and a petri dish for a level of fraud and abuse that could, no WILL have consequences that can only lead to a requirement for drastic actions to put this country back on the path of individual freedom that was hard won and maintained by the blood, sweat, and tears of men and women over the existence of this great country.

It’s obvious that the anti-liberty, anti-freedom, power hungry forces on the left are making a full court press to consolidate complete and unending control of the government, the country, and the American people for the purpose of creating their idea of a Utopian society that’ll benefit them and their lackeys and enslave the rest of us.

Under this cockamamie concept illegal aliens, non-citizens, unregistered people, children, cats, dogs, parakeets, and the dead will be able to vote. And if there’s a chance the vote won’t go their way they’ll have the ability to MAKE it go their way. And once they have control of the House, the Senate, and the White House there’ll never be Republican/Conservative majority in the government on any level again without drastic actions. The United States as we now know it will be ‘fundamentally transformed’ into a Socialist banana republic like country.

We’ve seen and experienced the problems with the postal service and in everyday situations the problems experienced, for the most part, are not on the level they would be when you are talking about something as life altering as the election of people who have power over your way of life. There are many examples of large amounts of mail being lost or intentionally disposed of. There is one recent example of a letter carrier intentionally manipulating a large number of mail-in ballots, not absentee ballots, but mail-in ballots like what is being proposed. But according to the (National Socialist) Democrat party that never happened.

Remember, it’s never voter fraud if it benefits the left.
