2024 Election - Reflections On The Recent National Erection

What a hoot! This has been the most entertaining election in years. I voted early at a community center near where I live. Outside, several preteen boys gathered to chitchat - I assumed their parents were voting. They kept calling it an "erection" instead of an election. I quietly chuckled to myself, as I did the same thing as a dumb kid because bathroom humor is about as edgy as one can get at that age.

I climbed into my SUV and thought about the term erection. You know, its actually somewhat accurate. An erection happens when one is excited, eagerly looking forward to rewarding stimulation. Upon completion, at least one partner is quite satisfied - sometimes both. Kind of like elections. There is great excitement as the election date approaches. Candidates and their surrogates will say almost anything to get folks excited, hoping they will show up and vote. And when the election is complete, one side is elated, and the other is dissatisfied, maybe even angry. 

Let's examine this election, and the behavior both before and after the ballots were counted. First, just a comment on how ridiculous it is that a state like Texas, with multiple major metro areas, and some 30 million residents, can complete their counting and determine a winner within an hour or two of polls closing. Yet "swing" states, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin will drag it out into the wee hours. Its during these "midnight" hours when there are often shenanigans, as fewer folks are there to monitor the actions. Apparently this year, the RNC was prepared.

It was much harder to "discover" missing DNC ballots this year.

If you arrived on Earth with no prior knowledge of American politics, you would have thought President Trump was the most evil man on the planet. He was called a rapist, liar, sexual predator, Hitler, Nazi, White supremacist, business failure, felon, and on and on. This same man, just a decade ago, was loved by people of all colors and classes. DNC candidates courted him continually for donations or support. He was featured in major films, mentioned in rap songs, and interviewed on the top talk shows like Oprah. As a contender for the Republican nomination, the state run media GENEROUSLY provided him $2 BILLION in free air time, and he likely benefitted from 10-12 million Democrat votes in the Republican primary! That was more than the entire Republican field, COMBINED. Why? Because Hillary Clinton, the anointed "next DNC president" thought Trump would be easy to beat. Its as simple as that. The DNC was instrumental in creating and promoting the one they now claim is Hitler reborn!

 

By All Objective Measures, Trump Was A Great President. And Should Be Even Better The 2nd Time!

Aside from the election night theatrics - delaying the calling of certain swing states for Trump, it was obvious President Trump had won in a landslide. Not quite as big of an electoral beatdown as Reagan put on Mondale, but certainly impressive enough to discourage the traditional Democrats' late night creative counting. As of this writing, Trump was up 5M votes in the popular vote. And the percentages in the red states weren't even close, averaging above 60% in most. Even in solid blue states, the gap significantly narrowed from previous elections.

Democrats traditionally have a fairly easy road to victory. Nominate a decent candidate, and they could count on winning the major states/metros on the right and left coasts, the big union states, and a majority of minorities. Not content with just winning a few national positions, the democrats wanted even more power, and to "fundamentally transform" the US into some bizarre socialist utopia. And with no fear of the Law or God, they would do ANYTHING to seize and stay in power.

And that was their downfall. Somehow Joe Biden, a man who was obviously on the mental decline, was nominated to face Trump in 2020. The strategy behind his campaign was to simply keep him hidden for all but a few events. Biden, poster child for folks who have been in DC far too long, should have NEVER had a chance against Trump. Not only did Biden win, but he overcame an insane amount of Trump votes - almost miraculously, once the traditional counting was halted. Several hours later, it was revealed that there were many thousand ballots not counted. By the next day, Trump's lead was gone, and Biden was selected as President. And folks wonder why so many question the 2020 election results.

In 2024, it was even worse. The DNC decided that Biden would not run after he was nominated. His VP, Kamala Harris, was selected to run in his place. Not a single person voted for her nomination, but hey, its the democrats - who needs laws and stuff? Her campaign amounted to telling everyone she was "raised in a middle class home." For some reason that was supposed to win the hearts and minds of Americans. By every measure - economy, illegal immigration, wars, culture, and of course corruption - the Biden administration was a complete failure. And she had to run on that record, spinning it into something good. But folks aren't stupid. They see the prices at the pump. They note that their $100 at the supermarket now only got them one bag of groceries instead of two. And they heard the complaints of their children. White children being told they were racists - when most had no clue what that word even meant! Tampon dispensers in the bathrooms of young boys - as if they need something else to play with during bathroom breaks. Young girls contending with fully developed boys competing against them, and then ogling them in the locker room.

And what was the DNC response to this Sodom-like list of policies? Trump is Hitler. A vote for Trump is a vote for fascism. People who support President Trump are garbage, deplorables, stupid, uneducated etc. Pretty convincing arguments. Its especially interesting to note the policies and goals of the left - government control of education, health care, limiting free speech and repealing the 2nd Amendment, are socialist and fascist positions. The NAZIs were National Socialists, therefore closely aligned ideologically with the modern left! Projection is common with the DNC, and with the help of the state run media, they can amplify their message, overpowering most anyone who disagrees with facts and proof.

One of my favorite defenders of the DNC is religion - specifically, people who claim to be Christians and sow division and guilt on those who might consider - or be led by God, to vote for Trump. Take a look at this gem.

This gentleman claims to be a Pastor and a Chaplin in the National Guard. Although you have trouble finding the name of God or Jesus in his bio. Instead, his stated great purpose:

I went into ministry because I wanted to play a part in helping people live meaningful, fulfilling lives. I wanted to see people have every opportunity to thrive as individuals, and in their relationships, and families.

That sounds quite noble. But none of that is TRULY possible without being Born Again, making Jesus your Lord and Savior makes it possible to live the LIFE God has planned for you! 

He ran for an Indiana House Seat. Thankfully, the good folks of Indiana did not embrace his creative interpretations of Scripture, or his eagerness to enter politics.

This is not meant to pick on this one individual - as his mindset is common among many religious and nonreligious folks on the extreme left. They see NOTHING wrong with slaughtering children and selling their parts for fun and profit - even having taxpayers subsidize the entire industry doesn't faze them. Telling children that they are really a boy trapped in a girl's body, helping them to medically "transition" without parental consent seems perfectly acceptable to them as well. As does men competing against girls - check that - beating the snot out of girls in virtually every sport. But a pastor SHOULD know better than altering what God has created. That boy or girl was born for a specific purpose and time. And it was not to be a guinea pig for some crazy, irreversible medical procedures.

In my reply, I noted 1 Samuel 16:7. Let's take a look at that verse.

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance or at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 AMP

The context of this verse is that God sent Samuel to the house of Jessie to anoint one of his boys to be king in place of Saul. Samuel was quite impressed with the oldest - who seemed to look like a king. That is when God spoke the above to Samuel. God KNOWS what is in the heart of everyone. And He can even use spiritually dead folks for His purpose. David is known as the greatest king in Israel. Yet not even he was perfect. He committed adultery, and when the woman discovered she was pregnant, David had her husband murdered. And God still selected him to be king.

On THIS side of the cross, its far easier to resist the devil and sin. A Born Again Believer has the weapons and armor of God to resist all of satan's fiery darts. And a Believer can have the mind of Christ, be led by the spirit, and overcome all temptation. I can't prove what is in President Trump's heart, but I see many people I respect in the faith praying for him - and he encourages their involvement in the MAGA movement. You can look at what he stands for - note the differences between his priorities and Kamala's. Believers could ask the same of the religious left - why are Christians enthusiastically embracing a woman whose character, words, actions, and lifestyle stand in such stark contrast to the values of the scriptures they claim to believe. 

One way you know you are dealing with religious folks, or even baby Christians, is that they LOVE to focus on the sins of an individual. If they have to go back 40 years, and dive to the bottom of the ocean to discover them, they will. God forgets the sins He HAS forgiven. That doesn't make them perfect, but perfect in the eyes of God. Jesus paid the price for ALL to be spiritually reborn. What Trump "might" have done 40 years ago is meaningless. And besides, you cannot convince me that if a woman was sexually assaulted by DONALD TRUMP decades ago, she would have shared it far and wide - possibly treated it as a trophy or monetized the experience in some way. And they would certainly remember the details, maybe even saved evidence from the event. They certainly would not claim rape is sexy.

This little gem has been circulating social media leading up to the election. Its purpose is to shame Christians who might consider supporting President Trump. Once again, the left completely misses the mark.

The Bible says a whole lot of things. Some that are good, some that are helpful and a handful of verses that stand far above everything else. The above is what you get if you just scan a concordance and find verses ever so slightly that support your view of what Christianity means. The number one priority is to be Born Again, believe and receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior and be ONE WITH CHRIST. That SAVING FAITH changes everything about the Believer, and its the ONLY THING that impresses God. There is only ONE LAW - the Law of Love. It basically states that you treat others as you would want to be treated. And as you mature in God, treat/see folks as God sees them. That is it. The Bible provides examples of people - many who failed, and one who was completely perfect. They are to help us understand how to live as Children of God in a fallen world.

With that in mind, let's examine the son's question, as it is meant to humiliate Christian Trump supporters. Should we "help the poor?" What does that mean? Does that mean paying higher taxes so government can hand out ever increasing largesse? Have you noticed that in the last 60 years America has distributed more than $25 TRILLION through 100 different programs in 14 different agencies. And that's just DC. The states have their own programs. There are more poor folks than ever, because handouts rarely work. They break up families, are a disincentive to work, and often lead to depression and sometimes crime. Never finance poverty - you just get more of it.

A better solution is a vibrant and growing economy that creates jobs and opportunities that make it far more desirable to work than be idle. And on a personal basis, Believers give as instructed by God. But we NEVER become the source for any individual. Get them connected to God so they can know HIM as their source in their life. Then, there is NO LIMIT to what they can accomplish. Government helps you survive in the ghetto. Yet God sets you on high!

7 The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and He lifts up. 

8 He raises up the poor out of the dust and lifts up the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with nobles and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and He has set the world upon them. 1 Samuel 2:7-8 AMP

What about the foreigner? Doesn't Trump and the MAGA movement hate foreigners? That is what the media and the left would have you believe. The US admits anywhere between 1 & 3 MILLION LEGAL IMMIGRANTS per year. They are rarely a problem as long as they follow the law. The extreme left has kept the Southern Border open, allowing (often encouraging) thousands of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS flooding into the country daily. They come from every nation on the planet, are often single, military aged males, and their motives may not always be pure. Within their ranks come gangsters, terrorists, prisoners from other countries, human traffickers, and potentially harmful diseases. By sneaking into the country many die from the journey, are raped, or otherwise abused by the folks who profit from these actions.

The Federal government, rather than stop the invasion, would rather hide these individuals in big cities, place them in nice hotels and give them handouts to survive in their new country. What about American citizens - vets and families who are currently homeless? It makes absolutely no sense, unless you are counting on a whole new, future voting block to stay in power.

Folks don't realize that people are born in a particular place and time for a reason. When thousands of your healthiest, smartest, and most ambitious leave a country, the country left behind suffers tremendously. Consider what is left - the lazy, the sick, old, among other undesirable traits. The very people that are leaving are the ones that could and should make their nation better. And America should be selective. Put a premium on certain skills that are lacking in the US. And open the gates only as unemployment is at an extreme low point. US citizens should come first. If an immigrant wants to move here, do the necessary background checks to make sure they are not a threat, and would CONTRIBUTE to the country.

I love how the left continues to emphasize that Trump is a liar. I stopped watching state run media in the Clinton years because of their inability to report the truth. And its only gotten worse. If you are labeling half the country Nazis, garbage people, deplorables, uneducated, hypocrites in every segment, you might want to look in the mirror.

I am going to count his departure as a win for America, and a big loss for whatever country takes pity on him. Yet again, dozens of "celebrities" claimed they will leave the US if Trump wins. After multiple election cycles these clowns never leave. Now what do we call someone who says something that is not true? Oh yes - a LIAR.

Don't Cry For Beto

Lighten Up, Francis!

.
Once again, like that bad case of herpes, or those feisty Texas fire ants, Robert Francis "Beta" O'Rourke crawled out of his nest to invade Texas politics. It does not matter that he has been rejected multiple times by Texas voters, he is destined to be elected, somewhere, for something.
.

.
Money poured in from socialists all over the country. All with dreams of transforming Texas into some sort of democrat utopia. The usual suspects supported Beta: Teacher unions, folks who are dependent on the government, and malcontents. He managed to outraise Governor Abbott - love the sound of that, by $600,000. With the help of big metro areas dominated by democrats, and their creative vote counting skills, Beta thought surely this was his year!
.
.
They Are Just Not that Into You.

.
Like the nutcase Cindy Sheehan before him, he jumped on top of the graves of the Uvalde children, and used them as his primary soapbox to attack guns, declaring, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.” There is absolutely no reason to ban an AR-15, and automatic weapons, which would generally include many AK-47s, are already heavily regulated - such is the intelligence of the hipster from El Paso. Or does he truly think Texans are too stupid to not already know that fact? If the intent were to reduce crime, these so-called "assault weapons" are used in 3% of firearm murders, making his position even more curious. And in the very rare cases that they are used, law enforcement impotence can lead to many casualties. When law enforcement, or legal gun owners act quickly, the threat can be neutralized and lives saved.
.
.

See Note Below

.
Does he really believe his own rhetoric, or does he see gun control as an issue of opportunity? Either way, its not the type of person you want in leadership. The right to own weapons and defend one's person, family, and property is a Natural Right. History has proven how dangerous it is for folks when they are disarmed. Criminals will still possess weapons as will government. And before long, there will be little difference between the two.

.
In Uvalde, 72 minutes went by before law enforcement, almost 400 officers, finally engaged the shooter. If you have a home invader, or you are at a location with an active shooter, you can't afford to wait on law enforcement.
.

We Don't Need No Stinking Badges

.
What you believe will eventually come out of your mouth. And Beta has a way of gushing that is quite revealing. During a campaign speech at Prairie View A&M University, his desire to divide and fan the flames of racism could no longer be restrained. With the zeal of country evangelist, he declared law enforcement the "new Jim Crow." Obviously, Texas police officers of all races put their lives on the line daily for all people. They thoroughly and completely rejected his statement. The TMPA issued a press release which included this paragraph.
.

Mr. O’Rourke’s dangerous and incorrect characterization of law enforcement officers not only across our great state, but nationwide, is divisive and plainly untrue. O’Rourke taking aim at officers is an insult that further divides public safety from the very people they are sworn to protect due to the outrage incited by his false narrative. Racist accusations about the dedicated, hardworking men and women who don a uniform daily to protect and serve our communities are disgusting and disrespectful. It is critical to remember the number of law enforcement officers who have been assaulted and murdered simply because of the uniform they wear. O’Rourke’s inflammatory speech is particularly surprising since it follows a tweet he made four days prior, praising law enforcement officers who are “keeping our communities and our state safe.”

.
This type of rhetoric is quite common in democrat circles, so its not surprising that Beta would embrace it. There have been more than a few prominent democrats who have called for defunding the police - an idiotic idea from folks whose neighborhoods and businesses are often being torched by crazy mobs who have been energized by agitators railing against Law and Order. Like Robert the Bruce's father, Beta seems to play both sides, embrace the madness when he is around other crazies, yet feigns respect for the Rule of Law when around normal Texans. But as we all know - A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. (James 1:8)
.

"I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how." - Attributed to Joseph Stalin

. 

Texas Our Texas, All Hail The Mighty State!

.
Folks not from Texas rarely understand this state. From its earliest history, it has resisted tyranny. Texans are fiercely independent, and love Liberty. The idea that some punk from El Paso is going to decide what weapons we can own, or what kind of cars we drive, or how we protect ourselves, is an anathema to a typical Texan. And to be so tone death to the real concerns of Texans, especially those from Latino backgrounds, that folks coming here illegally must be stopped. We welcome anyone that comes legally and in peace. But these are largely criminal invaders who have been lied to by folks in our very own government. We all pay the price for unrestricted illegal immigration. Lower wages, fewer entry level jobs, higher insurance, especially medical insurance, and then of course the increase in crime and prison overcrowding. Nobody wins with illegal immigration. Even those coming here are being robbed and raped by cartels, and being used by criminals in sweatshops, and as servants for the rich and famous. If you are an advocate for illegal immigration, you are not going to appeal to the majority of Texans, no matter the ethnicity.
.

Killing Babies For Fun And Profit

.
Democrats also believed they had a winning issue with abortion. Texas is still a largely Christian state. But even beyond that, there is a sense of right and wrong that prevails throughout Texas. Murder is murder. If there is any choice, it should have occurred months earlier when the couple decided to have unprotected sex. 

.
There was a time when democrats suggested that abortion be "safe, legal, and rare." Many Texans could probably tolerate that, as it would be extreme cases, maybe rape, or incest, where it would be desired, not necessarily preferred. As in most things, democrats saw a profit motive in expanded abortion. They would make sure the abortion providers had plenty of money to stay open, and the laws would remain in their favor. In return, the abortionist would kill the children, even at birth, as often as possible, collecting funds from their victims. And they discovered that medical research paid generously for baby parts, so a whole new revenue stream became available with an ever increasing demand for more baby parts. Who cares if more black babies are aborted than born in New York City. As long as the abortion industry was profitable - and it was, money flowed freely back to the democrat party - $45 million in the 2020 election. Hey, and let's call it health care, because Americans are so dumb they will not understand the difference between murder and health care. Unfortunately for the democrats, most Texans do understand the difference.
.

One For You, Three For Me 

.
As expected, Beta did well in the large, urban areas. Democrats have remained in power for decades by keeping millions stuck in poverty, living in government slums, and attending crappy government schools. Every couple of years, they are just a vote for a Republican away from losing everything. Just have to keep voting for the democrats just this one more time and you'll see, it will get better. Four generations of this, and there are more poor folks than ever. Always agitated and afraid that their government cheese will be taken from them.

.
Even Benjamin Franklin understood that you do not finance poverty. That simply creates more poor folks. If democrats truly cared about the poor, they would have fixed the problem decades ago. But its nice to have a stable, yet perpetually agitated base of low information voters you can count on to do your bidding.

.
Since 1964, America has been losing the War on Poverty. We have quite literally dumped $25 TRILLION in a completely ridiculous effort to end poverty. Hundreds of redundant programs manage these funds, so only God knows how many millions landed in the pockets of bureaucrats and ne'er-do-wells in NGOs. Surely a few Congress critters and their friends and families had their hands out for a few bucks as well.

.
But let's just imagine that all that money did land in the hands of households living below the poverty line. If we could cut them a lump sum payment out of that amount, that is a staggering $6.25 million per household! So, why do we still have poor folks? Because that is what democrats want.

.
When I was wee lad, my Mother worked for the welfare department. She eventually left for a job that would allow her more time with me, and my two older sisters. Years later we were discussing her career, and what she liked or disliked about each job. It was her task as a case worker to work with individuals, often minorities, and the very poor, to help them get jobs and get OFF of government assistance. And she was very good at it. She was a Believer and loved people. And wanted the very best for them. And even hired a few for odd jobs as she had extra money available. 

.
Contrast that with today's case worker. They are tasked with signing up as many folks, for as many programs as possible. The idea is to get them permanently dependent. And even if they are here in America illegally, that does not matter, shower them with free gifts, compliments of American taxpayers - actually borrowed from future taxpayers. So that is the core of Beta's support.

.
The next largest group is of course union workers, especially government employees who see government as their source. The most prominent, and radical of these are the teachers' unions. I am not aware of any group more universally against providing students with a quality education than teachers' unions. You could probably add the Federal and state bureaucracies to that list, as they add little value, and certainly don't earn the dollars wasted on them. 

Government School Education

.
Now hear me carefully - I do not hate teachers. I have two sisters who were both teachers in public schools. I do stand against teachers, unions, school boards, and educrats, that would rather waste money, teach about alternative lifestyles, and hatred of America, than reading, writing, and arithmetic. IF the goal is to lift people out of poverty, something must change. School choice makes a whole lot of sense to me, compared to the mess that exists presently. Shutting down the Department of Education ($640 BILLION Budget) and greatly reducing union and administrator influence, would allow GOOD teachers the freedom to do what they do best. And those GOOD teachers could be rewarded accordingly. And, the bad ones could more easily be identified and dismissed, or assigned something else that fits their qualifications.

.
Plus, technology is changing the world. Do we need 8-3, 5 days a week classroom study? I don't know? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe some hybrid. The point is, find what works and do it for the children. Stop teaching LGBT nonsense, and divisive, false history. Leave the politics at home and let kids think the best of their country and leaders at least until high school.

.
In every city there are numerous churches with classrooms that sit empty 6 days a week. There are also plenty of office space available in most markets for private and church schools to operate, giving parents more choices, smaller classrooms, and a more customized education experience. They key is the funding, currently just over $13k per student each year, must follow the student to whatever school they choose.

.
Its all about choice, right?

Its amazing how often votes are misplaced by democrats. And they always find them just about the time the Republican takes the lead, or is about to take the lead. And its an amazing coincidence that all those votes that turn up in the wee hours, or found in the trunk of some worker's car, are almost exclusively votes for democrats, and only in competitive races. Amazing. But Beta, assuming he had help in Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, was shellacked in the counties. There are 254 counties in Texas. Some are very sparsely populated like King County. Some like Dallas county have a whole lot more. It is in the counties, the dislike and rejection of Beta reaches a crescendo. Here are a few select counties, (County Name - County Seat - Abbott Total - Beta Total)

1. Young (Graham) - 5,479 - 627
2. Wood (Quitman) - 15,647 - 2,320
3. Wise (Decatur) - 21,948 - 3,528
4. Van Zandt (Canton) - 18,388 - 2,461
5. Smith (Tyler) - 56,542 - 18,706
6. Rockwall (Rockwall) - 30,157 - 12,084
7. Parker (Weatherford) - 52,444 - 10,105
8. Midland (Midland) - 32,362 - 7,144
9. Lamar (Paris) - 12,521 - 2,657
10. King (Guthrie) - 100 - 3
11. Johnson (Cleburne) - 42,867 - 12,200
12. Hunt (Greenville) - 23,709 - 6,405
13. Gregg (Longview) - 24,174 - 8,630
14. Comal (New Braunfels) - 54,259 - 19,061
15. Borden (Gail) - 306 - 9

.
Nearly 1 million votes separated Abbott from Beta. It was only a close race in the mind of Beta. But with all the experience he has now at losing, he should see if he can resurrect the Washington Generals. They were once the best at losing to the Harlem Globetrotters. He might fit right in to an organization like that.

.
And please Beta, leave Texas alone. We have made it clear that we want NOTHING to do with the democrat agenda. We prefer Liberty to tyranny.

.
There once was a time when Texas was dominated by democrats. The kind that loved Jim Crow laws, and often had white robes and hoods in their closets. By the mid 80s, they were being voted out of office, slowly at first, until the majority of the state embraced Conservatism, and reluctantly the GOP as the best party to preserve Liberty, which was under assault. Pockets of democrat support remains in the large urban areas as demonstrated above. 

.
The party in Texas did evolve, becoming more Conservative, hiding their racist ways. However, it was not enough for the national party that was now championing depravity. God was kicked out, meaning any moral constraint was gone. In its place was a policy of the end justifies the means. The enemy was defined as anyone who opposes democrats, and they were to be identified as racists and fascists - a classic case of projection. This was too much. Long time democrats left the party and switched to the GOP. They could not stomach the evil anymore. Although collectivism in all its most ugly forms has led to misery and suffering for millions, democrats to this day still embrace it as the solution. 

.
The average Texan is a rugged individualist. They enjoy their Liberty. They love their neighbor, and respect their right to be left alone. The notion that some "Karen" is going to come to their house and tell them how to keep their yard, raise their kids, or protect their family, is bat guano crazy.

.
The male equivalent is Ken, which doesn't work as well. Karen is the perfect representation of the democrat party. Its the renegade teacher that is going to teach your 1st grader that there are 27 genders and he/she/it can choose whichever one they want. And there is nothing you can do to stop the teacher because the students belong to him/her/them? 

.
Its the science editor in the national media headquarters that absolutely KNOWS that there has been no significant warming in 170 years, yet gleefully plays unchallenged clips of a Swedish dropout turned agitator angrily shouting, "We're all going to die!"

.
Or the politicians railing against fossil fuels, and complaining about the rising oceans. They then fly on their private jets, leaving behind their beachfront compound, to participate in a global party celebrating the financial windfall they will all soon share because the people are so gullible and refuse to think for themselves. Especially those that live near the coast, or visit it regularly, SHOULD notice that there has been virtually no change going back hundreds of years. That should be reason to celebrate.

.
So since Beto was our very own Karen, I choose to call him by a more accurate nickname, Beta. This describes a man who is seen as passive, subservient, weak, and effeminate. Its a perfect description of the grifter from El Paso, who pretends to be Mexican when it might help win votes, hiding his Irish roots. You've heard of "toxic masculinity" of course. Beta suffers from something far worse, toxic effeminacy. A man who projects the very worst traits of women, specifically a masculine Karen.

Note how effortlessly Beta USES victims to push an unconstitutional gun  grab. Legal gun owners are not the issue. The weapons that he is targeting are not a problem. Its an effort to control the population, to strip away their God-given rights incrementally. If they can take those two guns, why not handguns, and rifles, and so on? 

You get the idea. I'm done.

NOTE: The Thomas Jefferson quote cannot be verified. I am usually good about checking these quotes for accuracy, but the quote sounded so much like Jefferson, I ran with it. So in its place, I give you something even better. A few lines from Ayn Rand's essay Man's Rights - From Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal.

My October Surprise

Here In My Car - I Feel Safest Of All - I Can Lock All My Doors...

Until I purchased my first car, I shared a '73 Dodge with my Father. He drove for his carpool once a week. And I drove it to high school the other 4 days. I found out the hard way that Chrysler products all shared a unique superpower. They would DIE if you turned left and the engine was not thoroughly warmed up. It sounds strange, but I spent a few minutes before every trip mapping out paths to my destination with just right turns. Crazy.

My parents had Chrysler blood flowing through their veins. So every car in our garage was a Chrysler brand. But I hated their products like they were demons from hell. That hatred later flowed to all American products, as I encountered numerous flaws in various brands, and was stranded on the roadside more times than a teenager should be. Then, I purchased my first Datsun. After an initial hiccup, the former owner installed the wrong type of fuel pump, it ran like it was trying out for the Indy 500. I drove that car to college and it kept running until a truckload of inebriated Highland Park youths ran it, and me, into a tree.

Next came Mazda, which I drove until college graduation. It took me into my first job, and well over 100,000 miles of fun. I felt pity for the old girl, as she was leaking from just about everywhere - literally being held together by prayer. 

Then, I decided to try some German engineering and bought a Volkswagen - which sank into the swamp. No, that's not correct. An old man ran a red light and put me in the hospital. Let me tell you, when you are my size, 6'5" and at the time, a sturdy 250, having a group of healthy firemen lifting me into an ambulance is a wee bit unnerving - but I survived. Unfortunately, the car was put to sleep.

From the settlement, I upgraded to an even better and bigger Volkswagen. Their tanks in WW2 got better with size, why not their cars? That vehicle took me all over Texas, until it sank in a swamp - nope, that's not it. It was targeted for destruction by a carload of illegal aliens. They were not insured, unlicensed, and hit me. But according to the letter of the Law, I was at fault for the accident.

You might think after all that I might have given up driving altogether. No, instead I acquired a Toyota 4Runner - the car of my dreams. Its big enough that I just dare people to hit me - not literally of course. Instead, I plead the Blood of Jesus over it every day. And at well over 100,000 miles, I am just now dealing with a handful of routine repairs. They are such awesome vehicles. If only all my car experiences were so nice.

Memes, Get Your Memes Here!

I'm sure you have seen these messages on social media - share this or else you will not be Blessed. Or, like this, or else you will face God's wrath. God does not work that way.

First off - God is always wanting to Bless. When you are a Baby Christian, and what you say is not matching what is in your heart, He applies much mercy to protect you from your own stupidity. As you mature, He expects your mouth and heart to agree - or else. What is the or else? See Job. 

God Blessed him tremendously, placed a hedge of protection around Job - that was satan's complaint. But something brought that hedge down, and it wasn't God or the devil. It was Job. He GREATLY feared that his kids might sin, or that catastrophe would hit his life. And that is exactly what he got. When he finally figured out what was wrong, God helped him get his mouth under control, and then restored and doubled his fortune. The lesson - don't fear. Speak God's Word Boldly. Believe Him and Praise Him. And you will be BLESSED. And forget the memes.

Don't Change A Thing...

This song is 40 years old - released October 27, 1982. I remember getting home from work and watching this video, and MTV for hours - cable television finally reached Longview, Texas and I talked my parents into installing it. We only had 3 reliable TV stations at the time. 

Don't Change from INXS ranked as high as #17 on the US Charts, but that IMHO was an unfortunate ranking. The clubs were playing this as part of their regular rotation. An even I, as kid still in high school who only rarely went to a dance club, remember dancing to it many times. Enjoy! Just Don't Change A Thing!!

Its Election Season!

As October winds down, you can't escape all the election ads, the paid bots, the "surprises", and the Democrat shenanigans. I have to admit, Twitter can be fun. And messing with the DNC bots - although rarely will it ever change any minds, is very satisfying. Here are a few of my most recent exchanges.

It amazes me how democrat operatives can get so fixated on a single aspect of any situation. Its done intentionally to build sympathy for their cause or candidate. They never reflect on what is truly the greater good - how can the MOST people benefit. And Brooklyn Dad is a hoot. He must be paid well to tweet the crap he puts out. He is my pick for agitator of the year.

I don't know Peter Morley, but since this response, he has since revised his spiel. Apparently, its not OUR money. Because it must stay under the control of the government.

The owner of this Tweet blocked me, so I can't copy the original nonsense - so let me recreate the concept. For some reason, people on the extreme left - most democrats, are obsessed with The Handmaid's Tale. A truly dreadful book about a dystopian future where the breeding women are dressed like 18th century women - in red Snuggies and white bonnets. 

Women have fought the patriarchy for 50 years, emasculating most of the male population, and yet somehow men are going to rise up, take back control, and make women sex slaves? And my point was simple, IF this were to happen, there is no way that nubile women will be forced to wear those stupid outfits. Let the elevator reach the top floor. The handmaids are more likely to dress and dance like Lily Collins.

Remember, this is MY dystopian future, where nubile women are admired and respected.

Who truly is a compassionate Conservative in word and deed?

Sarah Palin is not perfect - nobody is. But she is the strongest Conservative voice in America, and at this point, the best hope to stop the carnage in Washington. If someone better emerges, fantastic. The more strong Conservative leaders the better. I will rally around the one that shares my passion for freedom.

I don't even use the term RINO (Republican In Name Only) to refer to most Republicans these days. They are Democrat-lites, or as Mark Steyn so brilliantly labeled them, DIABLO (Democrat In All But Label Only). I'm tired of them compromising our freedom away. We can't afford any more "hope and change."

I would think all Republicans, Conservatives, or even a few DIABLOs could support limited government, lower taxes, strong national defense and opposing the global warming hoax with its evil "solutions" proposed by AlGore and the UN.

That doesn't sound too "radical" or "right-wing" to me.

As for me, I support Sarah Palin. There are few Conservative leaders on the horizon that have inspired me like Palin. Maybe that makes me a "nutcase" or maybe I am just a patriotic American that loves this country. But until someone else takes up the Conservative cause and stands up to Washington, she's my best hope. And I will not let the propaganda arm of the Democrat party, the mainstream media, or a bunch establishment kingmakers, or even Ivy League-trained pinheads decide who will be my nominee. Been there, done that, and didn't even get a freakin' commemorative T-shirt.

Whether its Palin or some other nominee, it will be a Conservative that loves this country and is committed to reversing the curse of the last few years and actually draining the stinky swamp that is DC.

Financial Bigotry...

An outstanding article from American Thinker

The point of the tax debate must be the principle that every man -- rich, middle-class, or lower-class -- has the right to keep as much as possible of what he has honestly earned. It is this foundation of freedom and property rights that is being ignored in the increasingly complicated political debate over an elusive definition of how to promote "growth" for the country.


I have never understood why anyone should be forced to pay a higher percentage in taxes. And I find it ridiculous that nearly half of the country pays absolutely nothing when it comes tax time.

The tax code needs to be simplified to one very low rate with little or even no deductions. Even the very poor should contribute something - even if it is symbolic. Then, we might have some fairness and a vibrant and growing economy once more. When it comes election time, liberal voters might think twice before voting for people hell-bent on raising taxes to pay for their spending orgies.
