Don't Tell Me to Vote

OR ANYTHING ELSE, for that matter, but let's focus on "the vote". Commercials urging me to vote are everywhere these days. One even tried to shame me into voting by mentioning that  my friends and family could look up whether or not I voted. So let's get the record straight, OK? Voting may be a right, but it is not a duty; it is a discretionary privilege. Nothing more. And if you think you can shame people into doing what you want them to do, then you are the same kind of cheap thug who tried to shame people into wearing masks. Try logical persuasion, no, wait, that would require effort on your part.

An Apology to Alcoholics Anonymous

SO, AA was right all the time, patiently sitting back watching me foam at the mouth while I railed on and on about their inconsistencies and what-nots. 

It's Way Past Time for the Democrat Party to Die

 By this time, many of you have seen the  "word salad" responses Kamala Harris has given to interviewers. She does not answer  questions, she rambles incoherently...a lot. Then there's her blatant, almost gleeful lying about everything. Her constant attacks on Trump and his supporters serves as a cover for her incompetency, a play directly taken from the Democrat Party playbook. She has reversed her position on various topics, but refuses to explain why, giving instead insulting and at times condescending word-salad answers to simple questions. Is she a serious candidate? Why is she running? What exactly are the Democrats offering America with Kamala Harris, and that pervert Walz? Satisfaction for Trump haters? Vengeance on Trump and his supporters? 

For My Grandchildren

The only relevant things in the job market are competency, and the ability to get along with co-workers and customers. 

Can you do the job? Perform the task efficiently and competently? Can you overlook your co-worker's obnoxious attitude and carry on with your job? Can you respect the customer's humanity, desire sincerely to help him, and ignore their body odor? Do you refrain from being obnoxious and irritating yourself? Are you kind when people approach you with their concerns? In other words, if you can do the job well, and are not a lizard person, then you'll be successful in the job market, and in the other areas of your life. Why? Because in the job market, competency and tolerance of others are paramount.

A Brief Memo to Kamala Harris

I hear what you are saying, but your words seem cacophonous and discordant. Your words are poison, as Eowyn said to Wormtongue. You lie as casually as you do anything in your life, buttressed by the belief that since it gets you what you want, it's OK, it's even moral. You want to be President, and that's all you want, the power that goes along with it. You, a master at prevarication, obfuscation and gas-lighting, care nothing for the people of America who aren't in your elite circle. 

Harris lies to serve herself and her agenda. She has traded the truth of God for a lie, and my God! she wants to be President, and to hell with anything else. 

Confessions of a Trump Supporter

THE NATIONAL ELECTION IS A MONTH AWAY,  and I should check the progress of that storm out in the gulf. Although I am living outside the forecasted impact cone of the storm, I know it could head straight here. That would be tomorrow, but this morning, I am thinking about the upcoming  Presidential elections, the unreliability of any and all news sources, the January 6th incident, the 2020 elections, and Israel. 

Your Offense Means Nothing

to anyone but you:

I SAY I BELIEVE IN SOMETHING, or I display a flag in front of my house, and you tell me you're offended by these things. Well, do you really think I should care that you are offended?  What do you want me to do about it?  Change my behavior to suit you? Die? Do you even see me as a a sovereign individual? Perhaps you think I should care about your offense because you might inflict dire consequences, or perhaps you think you're more important than you really are? It's strange, this obsession with not offending people. It's taken a firm hold on our culture, up to the point where in some countries people are jailed for being offensive. Anyone who tries to manipulate people- through fear of the consequences of offending them- are classic malignant narcissists, and many of them are also tyrants. These sorts of people are the ones always demanding to speak to the manager for even the most trivial of slights. They are the ones who are offensive, in the true meaning of the word; they cause displeasure or resentment.  This fetid self-centeredness and the total lack of awareness of others is very uncomfortable to watch. Here's what it boils down to: constantly offended people think they deserve a value (discounts, line jump, et al) not because they deserve it, but because they're offended and will have you cancelled if you don't.
