truth--like looking for a needle in a haystack

the truth is getteing harder and harder to find these days. the internet, social media, "talking heads", politicians, tv news, etc. 

the internet can be a valuable source of information--if one restricts their searches to reliable sources. 

BEWARE of social media, those who are trying to sell something, self-proclaimed experts, etc. 

STICK TO reliable sources--you just might find the truth.

window dressing

the republican party is a lot like the NFL--LOTS of window dressing--but people know that the false front outside is not the same as the inside. being a political party, the deception of the GOP is much more evident than the NFL--yet both are the same--rotten on the inside.

end of the gop?

the worst president in US history may not have brought down the government, but most likely he's brought down the republican party. 

trump not only fanned the flames of divisiveness within the USA, but he also fanned the flames of divisiveness within his own party--a split is inevitable. one remnant will be the white supremacist party and the other remnant will be whatever is left of the old gop is called. with the split neither of the two remnants will ever win another national election.







mcconnell's book will be a best seller.

boris and natasha

today is the one year anniversary of the assault on the US capitol. the insurrection failed. boris and his miscreant followers failed to topple the government. many of the perpetrators have been arrested and charged. some have pleaded guilty and are incarcerated. 

what about boris? during the 2020 campaign for his reelection boris said that he may have to leave the country if he lost the election. time's a-wastin', boris.

perhaps boris should seek ass-ylum from his good buddy putin--or maybe his other good buddy kim jong-un. and take his miscreant followers with him. 

in any event, good riddance to bad rubbish.

egregious

Parents of Michigan boy charged in Oxford school shooting | AP News 

PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A prosecutor filed involuntary manslaughter charges Friday against the parents of a teen accused of killing four students at a Michigan high school, saying they failed to intervene on the day of the tragedy despite being confronted with a drawing and chilling message — “blood everywhere” — that was found at the boy’s desk.

James and Jennifer Crumbley committed “egregious” acts, from buying a gun on Black Friday and making it available to Ethan Crumbley to resisting his removal from school when they were summoned a few hours before the shooting, Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald said.

“I expect parents and everyone to have humanity and to step in and stop a potential tragedy,” she said. “The conclusion I draw is that there was absolute reason to believe this individual was dangerous and disturbed.”

an ugly incident

 Strasburg Police investigating a hate crime after a house was vandalized   

thank you, WHSV, for your factual report. we don't get many of those here in strasburg. 

despite politicians and others who may wish to put a lid on ugly incidents, and if unsuccessful, attempt to put lipstick on the pig, the fact remains that it's still a pig. 


I'm puzzled by the statement from town police that "they will continue to investigate leads". does this mean that the police are relying on leads from the public to investigate trespassing and vandalism in this case? or are the police investigating these crimes independent of whether or not they get leads from the public? 

other questions:
  • will law enforcement vigorously investigate this crime? or will it be "handled" with "a wink and a nod"?
  • will the perpetrator(s) be identified and charged? 
  • will they be tried? 
  • will they be sentenced? 
  • if so, will the sentence be "a slap on the wrist"?
answer: time will tell.


are racists, bigots, homophobes and white supremacists good people? trump would have you believe that they are by the remarks that he made concerning the unite the right rally in charlottesville on august 12, 2017 during which Heather Heyer was killed. trump said that there were "fine people on both sides". the facts are that there were racists, white supremacists, a murderer and other violent people on one side. these aren't "fine people".

The same is true of january 6 when violent criminals stormed the US capitol destroying property, threatening lawmakers and assaulting, injuring and murdering police. these violent criminals are not good people.

the facts are that as long as racism, bigotry, homophobia, white supremacy, violence and murder are not roundly condemned publicly, then people in the USA and around the world will think that the USA tolerates racism, bigotry, homophobia, white supremacy, violence and murder. 

citizens have the responsibility to speak the truth publicly.

knuckleheads

to all of you knuckleheads who won't get the covid 19 vaccine or wear a mask:

BFD! it's a shot--like the polio vaccine. 

it's a piece of cloth that you put over your mouth and nose to protect yourself and others. I had to wear one when I was in basic training at ft. benning because of a spinal meningitis scare.

If you're so scared of a shot that may save yours or someone else's life, and you get covid and suffer and die--oh well!

tinker's damn

what good are men who won't fight for their family (wife, daughters) and their country? 
answer: no good. not worth a tinker's damn.

what good is congress (and the supreme court) when congress refuses to do their constitutional duty to declare war (and the supreme court allows them to do so) and POTUS (one person instead of the hundreds in congress required by the US constitution) sends american troops to combat in a foreign country?
answer: no good. not worth a tinker's damn.

what good is a president (or presidents) who send american troops into a godforsaken county to defend that country when the men of that country won't defend their country themselves?
answer: no good. not worth a tinker's damn. 
our involvement in afghanistan grew from george w. bush's "payback" to sadam hussain for disrespecting w's old man.

I feel for females in afghanistan. I don't give a tinker's damn for adult males in afghanistan who won't fight for their families or their country. they're cowards. in the 1770s when king george was oppressing american colonists and britain was taxing the american colonies unfairly, colonists didn't whine to foreign countries "britain is being unfair to us. come fight them for us." NO! they picked up their guns and said to britain "we've had enough! we're mad as hell and we're NOT going to take it any more! we declare ourselves free of your oppressive laws and taxes!" 

afghan men are cowards. they, and their families (wife, daughters), reap what they sow.

inside and outside "the box"



In today's world there are few who think intelligently "outside the box". Specifically, in politics and government, and generally in the general population, it's difficult to find those who think intelligently even "inside the box". fortunately, there are exceptions. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey blasts unvaccinated residents 

you know what they say--"you just can't fix stupid".
