Circling the Drain

Ladies and Gentleman, will the last sane, reasonable, level headed, THINKING person in this country please fold the flag and turn out the lights on your way out.

I just saw the following headline…

Cosmetic giants remove the word ‘whitening’ from products, realtor association stops using the word ‘master bedroom’

The Court of Master Sommeliers said it will stop using the title of “master sommelier” because of the racial implications.

Additionally they will be dropping the words light/lightening, fair/fairness, white/whitening. “Master” will be replaced by “primary” because they feel they can’t be sufficiently woke enough if they don’t.

Fellow conservatives, society appears to on its final revolution of circling the drain. We need to grab the plug chain and hang on tight to avoid to going down the drain with the morons, idiots, whackos and panders.

Can anybody possibly tell me if I’m overreacting or is all this insanity really happening. Has our society really degraded to this point? Have we reached the point where radical leftists, socialist democrats, communists, Marxists, Antifa and Antifa like organizations, and brain-dead social justice warriors, all of whom are being backed by very powerful people both outside and inside our country who have been thinking and planning for the long term to destroy this country and rebuild it according to their desires with themselves in charge. The Corona-19 pandemic set the stage, the death of George Floyd was the match that lit the fuse leading to the explosion.

Most Americans have been complacent for so long that even with everything happening you don’t see the outrage, the call to arms like you do with the radicals. Some have stood up and said “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore”, but not enough. The MSM is lying by omission when it comes to the Corona-19 pandemic and the actual effects. And another factor that has been ignored in this self-immolation called defund/disband law enforcement is gangs like MS-13, gangs that are very well organized and drooling over the idea of no law enforcement.

Some may call me Chicken Little, running around yelling the sky is falling. I am not Chicken Little and I’m not saying the sky is falling, but I’m beginning to think I may be seeing some fine cracks forming.

Robbing Our Fun

Apparently the new weapons of choice are paintballs and fireworks. Now you might not think of these as very dangerous weapons, but you would be mistaken.

When I was in the military we used to use paintballs in close combat training and it could become quite competitive, especially when units from outside Ft. Bragg would come for training. One day a unit of Rangers came in for training and part of their gear was several coolers, which we thought strange. Turns out those coolers were stocked with frozen paintballs. If you’ve ever been hit with a normal paintball you know it can sting especially at close range. Now change out those paintballs for a rocks fired at the same velocity and volume. Hits in unprotected areas could cause serious injuries such as the loss of an eye or broken bones in the face. Additionally, considering how well organized, equipped, and funded some of these mobs are it is not out of the realm of possibility that they could have someone manufacturing ammunition containing who knows what for these “toys”.

As for fireworks, everyone knows how dangerous these can be when misused. Have you ever seen what an M80 firecracker can do to a mailbox? I know a couple of people who thought they were far enough away when it went off and ended up in the ER getting shrapnel pulled out of them. How many stories have we seen every 4th of July about how Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is demonstrated?  Additionally, I don’t know if the stuff is still available, but we used to be able to purchase all the material needed to make our own fireworks thru mail order. Fuse cord, powder, cardboard bodies, etc. Frankly I’m surprised I survived to graduate high school. There have also been stories of late about innocent people, even a child, being injured by mouth-breathers who thought it would be fun to throw or shoot fireworks at people.

Make no mistake, these “toys” have been turned into very dangerous weapons by anarchists and radicals and this misuse spreads very quickly. Fireworks and paintball are fun recreations but thanks to these bozos they soon may be lumped in as “dangerous weapons not for general public use”. In other words, more nanny state government regulations.

What Will Happen If…

More and more we hear about police departments as well as officers being under attack and being the target of defunding or disbanding movements. They are claiming they can replace law enforcement with social and psychiatric workers who can handle situations without force or firepower.  The Minneapolis city council is already well on their way to doing away with their police department. Officers are quitting or moving to other locations where people still have a modicum of common sense. Just recently a chief of police in NYC up and quit, disgusted with how police are being treated.

Anyone who thinks these silly and dangerous concepts of doing away with armed, trained officers is the “right and moral way” deserves what they get. But what of the rest of us? We are going to be forced to live under the conditions these maniacs are trying to create. And when the touchy feely snowflake LEO wannabes has their feelings (and a few physical parts) hurt what’s next.

The topic I haven’t heard anyone discuss is will we, the ordinary citizen, get the same treatment as the rioters and looters when we find ourselves having to defend ourselves, our families, and our homes. Are we going to be given a pass for whatever we legally do? Or will there be outrage and demands that we be punished because we took what they will claim was vigilante action to do what should have been done by actual trained, professional law enforcement officers. Because we didn’t hold hands and sing songs or just roll over and give in to the hoodlums, we need to be reeducated…oh and our only means of self-defense taken away because we don’t need it.

It is at that point that I for one will stand firm and say Molon Labe…Come and Take Them.

The Brutal Truth

The radicals, the socialists, the Marxists, the communists…in other words leftists and members of the (Nationalist Socialist) Democrat Party have reveled their ultimate plan. They are out to completely strip away any and everything that is the identity of the United States of America.

Comrade Pelosi has said “I’m concerned about slavery in our country.” (Personal note…we still have slavery in this country?) “I think it’s a sin.” (No argument there) “I also am concerned about what happened to Native Americans in our country, so we have a list of grievances that are part of the early years of our country and we do not want that to be continued by glorifying any of the people who perpetrated those injustices.”

She has said she is willing to discuss the removal of statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Why do I believe this is just allowing the camel’s nose under the tent?

There are now rumblings, which we know ultimately leads to action by anti-American mobs, of replacing the National Anthem. I’m sure the Pledge of Allegiance is on their evil agenda as well.

As I said before, this is attempt by anti-American mobs to strip away and destroy the very identity of our country. And based on the lack of action those who laughingly call themselves our leaders, I’m afraid they’ve made some inroads. These are actions that have taken place in second and third world countries in the past that ultimately lead to violent revolution and an overthrowing of the government and resulting in anarchy and civil war within those countries. These minions of those that consider themselves our betters, consider themselves the Lords and Ladies over us peasants, mindless go about doing their destructive work not realizing that once the “revolution” is over, they’ll be the first to go.

Here are two quotes in closing…

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”

BRING IT!!!

I am about to bring the unholy wrath of the ultra-woke, radical leftist, Marxist, socialist/communist, lawless, Democrat backed mobs down on my head (like I really care), and I want your help in doing it.

1700 year old statues of Buddha destroyed by the Taliban

The Tomb of Jonah destroyed by ISIS

An ancient temple destroyed by ISIS

The Great Mosque of Aleppo destroyed by ISIS

Additionally, be aware that when ISIS took over Aleppo and other cities and towns they imposed their versions of laws, judgement and instant punishment on the occupants. When the Taliban took over Afghanistan they also imposed their version of laws and punishment on the people

Am I comparing these roving mobs of looters and anarchists to the Taliban and ISIS? Look at the pictures that I’ve posted and look at your TV screen. Look at what’s happening in that festering sore they call CHAZ/CHOP/CESSPOOL or whatever.

But to answer the question…YES! Show me the difference!

Now, how can you help? Please feel free to post this to your social media. If you do, feel free to credit it to me in order to avoid backlash against you and yours. Also feel free to add whatever comment you wish.

To the mouth-foaming, rabid haters that will call me everything but a child of God, I have two words for you.

BRING IT!!!

What Leadership?

By now, it should be obvious that the violence across this country has morphed from a single, tragic incident where a man was killed over a minor incident by a law enforcement officer into something as close to what could be called anarchy as possible without reaching that point.

Anything even resembling a statue is being attacked and destroyed regardless of who it is of or represents. Whole areas of a city, including a police precinct have been taken over and declared an automatous, independent zone outside of the laws of the city, not letting law enforcement in to maintain order. And the Mayor not only refused to allow action, she actually defended the madness.

Major cities all across the country have been taken over by mobs and anarchists. They pillage, loot, and burn almost at will. And when some are arrested, they are released with virtually no punishment. They have become so embolden that they are even demanding that cities change their names

The one question that should be on everyone’s mind is where the elected leaders of these cities are. Where are the elected representatives that the people put their trust in and pay their taxes to support. Oh wait, they’re the ones hiding behind their taxpayer funded security while throwing their constituents to the wolves, telling police to stand down and not interfere with the “peaceful protesters”. And if you’re not an approved business and don’t follow their rules you are not only not allowed to open, you will be punished for trying to make a living and put food on your table.

Yes I realize there is a pandemic still out there, but I have yet to hear one member of the (Nationalist Socialist) Democrat (or as I refer to them, the ‘rat) Party use the same standards and actions on the lawless mobs that roam the streets. And when things do come back on them they hide behind their minions and point a finger at President Trump screaming “ORANGE MAN BAD!!!!!”

Another important question that needs to be asked is when the police are no longer effective due to restrictions or even worse are not available or exist and you are forced to defend yourself, your home, your family, your home and/or business, what happens to you. When it’s a pack of animals, no police. You act in self-defense, there’s a police swarm on YOU. And it’s not the fault of the police, it’s the spineless scum calling themselves “elected officials”.

A Call to Action

With their permission, I want to share with you a post made by Bart & Olga on the website Nextdoor Pleasant Garden.

“The “Silent Majority” cannot afford to remain silent! It is a long way to November but we still have time to build our ranks and show some force at the polls! Many are with us but are afraid to stand up! Those are the ones we need to bring out of the shadows! Your vote counts and no one needs to know how you voted! There are way more honest and loving people on our side than the rabble rousers and dividers! Have faith and God will not let you down. God has helped us once in 2016 and now is the time for us to help ourselves! Thank you to all our true Patriots!”

Their post, so eloquently written, echoes things I have advocated in several of my writings. While months away, November will be here before we realize it. And given the current state of affairs, this election is going to have a major impact on the future of this country. The only way this insanity will come to an end is for ALL level thinking conservatives of both ALL parties to go to the polls put seal common sense leaders in office at all levels. More than ever we need REAL leaders, people who understand that the term “professional politician” is an oxymoron that is contributing to the destruction of this country.

I can’t count the number of times that people have come up to me and said they agree with almost everything I say but are afraid to speak out because they feel outnumbered. When my wife Julee worked at Greensboro College many of the employees and staff would tell her the same thing. Only when people begin to adopt the same attitude as myself, that being people can call me what they want to my face because I don’t care about what people that know nothing about me have to say about me. Anyone who knows me knows who and what I am and am not. I am urging every likeminded person to stand up and come “out of the shadows” as Bart & Olga say. “You have nothing to fear but fear itself.” There are plenty of people like you out here.

To get the changes needed to rid this country of the disease of radical leftist, Marxist, socialism attempting to devour this country, we need real leadership, not space holding puppets of the elites. To get this, people, all people qualified to vote, need to get out and do so. Nobody knows how you vote unless you tell them. And if asked and you don’t want them to know there are any number of polite, civilized ways to tell someone that’s your personal business. (My wife has told me saying “go pound sand” in a polite tone is NOT one of those ways. I don’t understand why not.)

I believe God moved people in 2016 because it was a way to confront the haters and the destroyers in a peaceful manner. We need that guidance again. We need to step up, otherwise we will find ourselves bowing down.

As Benjamin Franklin reportedly said, “We must hang together or surely we shall hang separately”

I want to thank Bart & Olga for the inspiration for this post.

Karma…What A B***h

A word to the woke celebs on the left that have been referring to others as racists…Karma is a bitch.

Jimmy Kimmel, who announced he’s taking time off “to be with his family” right about the time his history of blackface performances on The Man Show resurfaced, is now looking at what could be the kiss of death for his late night and possibly entire career after recordings of him using the N word spoofing rapper Snoop Dog on a Christmas album have been brought to light.

Glass houses Jimmy my boy, glass houses.

And Tina Fey who is an executive producer for the show 30 Rock is having to eat crow over several instances of blackface performance on that show. NBCUniversal, which fired anchor Megyn Kelly for discussing the appropriateness of blackface during Halloween, is having to remove the episodes involving the blackface performances.

At this point I would say to them to remember the words of Jesus when he said let he who is without sin cast the first stone, but in order for that to have any effect the people it’s directed to would first have to have morels, scruples, and an ability to feel genuine regret for words and deeds, something those on the left do not have.

Always remember folks, Karma is a giant circle. It will come back around eventually. Memories fade but the internet is forever. Just ask Kimmel and Fey.

Hypocrisy, thy name is the woke left.

Privileged?…Me?

Priv·i·lege

A special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.

The radical progressive socialists make much ado about privilege and how some people have privileges others are don’t. And to some extent they’re right. (Get a grip folks. Read on before you go off on me)

Two people go in to apply for a job. Because of life choices made early in life one of them has an advantage over the other based on previous experiences, training, or education. Based on the definition of the word, they are privileged. Skin color, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, or sex had nothing to do with it UNLESS the individual doing the hiring has a PERSONAL PREJUDICE against them. Please explain to me how an individual’s faults translate to the rest of us.

The Mayor of Bloomingdale Ga. Said the following:

“What is privilege?….
“Privilege is wearing $200 sneakers when you’ve never had a job.
“Privilege is wearing $300 Beats headphones while living on public assistance.
“Privilege is having a Smartphone with a Data plan which you receive no bill for.
“Privilege is living in subsidized housing where you don’t have a water bill, where rising property taxes and rents and energy costs have absolutely no effect on the amount of food you can put on your table.
“Privilege is the ability to go march against, and protest anything that triggers you without worrying about calling out of work and the consequences that accompany such behavior.
“Privilege is having as many children as you want, regardless of your employment status, and [to] be able to send them off to daycare or school you don’t pay for.
“Privilege is sending your kids to school early for the before-school programs and breakfast, and then keeping them there for the after-school program…paid for by the people who DO HAVE TO DEAL WITH RISING TAXES AND COSTS! …you know, us so-called ‘PRIVILEGED’ the ones who pay while you TAKE TAKE TAKE!”

Obviously woke crybabies all over clutched at their pearls while gasping and becoming overcome by the vapors at this declaration of facts. By the way, the City Council demanded he step down as Mayor for pointing all this out.

 Having done work in public housing I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen big screen TVs (back when a 40” was close to $1000.00) with full cable packages,  gaming systems worth hundreds of dollars, vehicles tricked out with thousands of dollars of modifications, while I’m working 40+ hours, driving a 15 year old truck, making payments on what the majority of us consider luxuries, and having to save to take trips because I have a mortgage, utilities, and food to pay for. But according to the whiners, I’m privileged. And apparently so are you.

Do some people get handed things simply because of who they are and who their family is? Yes. But getting it handed to you is only part of it. The real question is can you maintain it? I know of some that were handed down a living and within a few years lost it all due to incompetence because they didn’t learn when they had the chance. I feel sorry for the employees who lost their jobs in that situation, not for the individual that allowed it to be destroyed. As you sow so shall you reap.

This whole “privilege” thing is simply an excuse to deflect from poor life choices and decisions in the overwhelming majority of situations. As the saying goes in the military, the maximum effective range of an excuse is zero meters.

In closing, are there people who legitimately need help and assistance? Yes, no question. And we as a civilized society have an obligation to provide that assistance. I have no problem with giving a hand up to able bodied people, but not a never ending handout.

OK, YOU WIN

The Mayor of Seattle just announced that she has decided to send the police in to reclaim the area known as CHOP or CHAZ or CESSPOOL or whatever they’re calling themselves now. And the Chief of Police is undoubtedly is thinking to himself “Thanks Mayor. Thanks for letting them know we’re coming. They won’t be preparing for us. They won’t be waiting in ambush for us. And how are we supposed to do our job without the tools you took away from us. What are we supposed to use, spitballs?”

I hope they put every trauma center and hospital ER in the area on standby because this could get real ugly real quick.

People have been injured and at least one has died in that hellhole for no reason whatsoever.  God only knows what else has happen in there. All because the Mayor was more concerned with what would allow her to retain and even grow her power then doing what she was elected to do. And it’s not just there but in too many places across this country.

Some people may be upset at this, but if you’re one of those that have “seen the elephant”, a euphemism for having been in combat, you understand the my gallows humor coming out when I say I’m getting the popcorn ready and hope they fully televise the liberation of CHOP/CHAZ/CESSPOOL.
