Father's Day, Flag Day, Army Day, and POTUS Birthday!

"Last but certainly not least, I should give a shout out to our current president Donald J. Trump. The man the lefties love to hate, is not hated at all by the patriots and citizens of this great country. This man has stood against the headwinds, the lawfare, the Soros funded demonstrations - just to fix the cleanup on aisle Biden."

In the Divided States of America, the patriots and citizens indeed have something to celebrate today! First and foremost, it is Flag Day. This annual celebration is for those who love and honor our wonderful flag. Not the Somali flag, which through the magic of the Democrats when they held all the power, somehow morphed into our new state flag. No, I am talking about the "stars and bars", "Old Glory", our flag which sums up liberty and freedom for all who legally live here. 

Father's Day is tomorrow, but I lumped it in with today. Why? Many families celebrate Father's Day on Saturday instead of Sunday. To me, Mother's Day should be Mother's Weekend, and same with Father's Day - all weekend. Whether you are a father or had one, this is a very special day. As we age, we realize just how important our fathers are or were to us. We also realize what a blessing it is to become a father. I loved my dad, and I miss him. Each and every day, I miss him.

And how about a hat's off and cheer for those who have served, are serving, and will serve in our United States Army! The Army, which is 250 years young today, is our first line protector. "This we will defend" is a tried-and-true motto of this elite fighting force. My dad was in the Army. Same with my cousins. I was the "odd duck" in the family by joining the Navy. But I feel the same about the Navy. Proud heritage. Our Army, just a bit older than our country, is special. Needed. Happy birthday US Army! May you have many, many more!

Last but certainly not least, I should give a shout out to our current president Donald J. Trump. The man the lefties love to hate, is not hated at all by the patriots and citizens of this great country. This man has stood against the headwinds, the lawfare, the Soros funded demonstrations - just to fix the cleanup on aisle Biden. How big is the needed cleanup? Biblical proportions. But Donald Trump, maybe the best president ever, is the man for the job. Happy birthday sir! You are 79 years young, with more energy and ideas than the energizer bunny.

Did I mention the mutts and malcontents are having protests today? On this most special day, they are protesting just about everything. The authoritarian and statist blue governors and mayors hate our president - hate our country. Why? This country represents the people, not the special interests. Same with Donald Trump. He does not play for China, and against America, like others in Washington and St. Paul.

Even though Tim Walz said he hoped it would rain on the Army's parade today (yes, Walz is a putz), it will be a wonderful day for the true believers. For those on the other side, the constant naysayers, the door is there for you to leave.  

And now Iran, it is your move

"People of Iran - time is not your friend. Israel is absolutely resolute in their mission. Iran, with the IRGC in charge - must go. It is your move Iran, the next wave of attacks by Israel are already planned and ready to execute. Choose wisely." 

Well, the long-awaited war in the Middle East has finally come. Or has it? Last night, Israel hit Iran twice. About 200 F-35(I) jets flew basically undetected all the way from Israel to Iran. They did some sizeable damage to the IRGC. Killed six or so high-level nuclear scientists and eliminated some higher up generals in the IRGC. Of course, Iran threatened immediate revenge on Iran and the US. Wait - what? We were not involved - why us? Because Iran still looks at us as the "Great Satan" with Israel only being a lesser evil.

Both Trump and Rubio immediately made it known vile channels that we were not involved in this attack. In fact, Trump told Iran the next attack by Israel could be more severe - it might be time to make a deal at the negotiation table. Rubio warned them NOT to attack our bases or personal in the region. That would pull us into this war. What does all this mean? It is your call now Iran. Choose wisely.

So far, Iran has only responded to Israel with a drone attack. About 100 or so drones took the eight-hour flight into Israel. Most were swatted down before they reached Israeli airspace. No big deal. But the big deal is this - Iran has about 2,000 ballistic missiles. Even though Iran was short on time in getting some of them tipped with nuclear warheads, ballistic missiles, even with conventional warheads, are very hard to defend against. They could be a game changer in this war.

Trump is convinced that Iran will be fine once the people get rid of the IRGC. He thinks the people are fed up with this theocracy. I know that we are also. But know this - just like with China, the people might be good, but the CCP is corrupt. If we get sucked into this war, many will die in Iran. The time for revolution is now. Iran must shed the IRGC so peace can return to the Persian people. 

People of Iran - time is not your friend. Israel is absolutely resolute in their mission. Iran, with the IRGC in charge - must go. It is your move Iran, the next wave of attacks by Israel are already planned and ready to execute. Choose wisely. 

 

Living in the land of graft

"I have an idea. Let's take about 200 of the IRS new hires, hired towards the end of the Biden regime, and put them on this case. They were hired to look for real cheating, real graft (supposedly) - well, here it is. But where is the money which was stolen?"

Tim Walz. Enough said? This carpetbagger from Nebraska does not know a Dit from a DUH. It is bad enough he (and Jacob Frey) let the city of Minneapolis burn down in 2020, but this Feeding our Future thing just keeps getting worse and worse all the time.

A very disturbing story in today's Twin City paper says it all. As bad as the Feeding our Future scandal has been so far, it might just be a drop in the bucket. Amiee Bock, and her army of Somali helpers, saw something that few others noticed. They could come up with a scheme, a vile concoction of graft and theft, and rob the City of Minneapolis, the State of Minnesota, and the US Government - blind. Who was the cop who was supposed to keep an eye on the millions and millions of dollars spent on nothing? Why, Tim Walz, of course!

One of the feds who is still looking into this case, summed it up with a thud. (My paraphrase) -"This theft could have involved hundreds of more perps. We just don't have the resources." Wow! What this tells me is this group of Somalis, who come from a dirt-poor country, saw Minnesota as an easy target for a battleship. In other words, just think - getting paid for doing NOTHING. No meals served, and getting paid by this unlimited fund of money. And meanwhile, Tim Walz was doing what he was really good at - NOTHING.

I have an idea. Let's take about 200 of the IRS new hires, hired towards the end of the Biden regime, and put them on this case. They were hired to look for real cheating, real graft (supposedly) - well, here it is. But where is the money which was stolen? Check the money (wire) transfers. It could be long gone, somewhere overseas. Meanwhile, the suckers called Minnesota taxpayers, take it in the shorts once again.

Tim Walz needs to be drummed out of office. What a waste of space. Meanwhile, living in the land of graft...

 

China and the trust issue

 

"To use an old Navy expression, these guys are bad rice. Do I trust China's government? Not a smidge."

What is it about China which brings out so many bad feelings? What is it about China that makes our president want to kick all of them off our colleges and universities? What is it about China that makes Chinese doctorate students try and smuggle in extremely destructive viruses to ruin our food supply? What is it about China to want to unleash a bioterrorism virus such as COVID - 19 from the Wuhan Lab? To use an old Navy expression, these guys are bad rice. Do I trust China's government? Not a smidge.

Who can forget the Chinese "weather balloon", which just by coincidence, happened to float over many of our sensitive bases. What is next for them - drones by the thousands? Cyber-attacks on our infrastructure? I am going to say something which will sound provocative to some. We are at war with China right now. It may be a cold war, but it is a war. And we give these people the "keys to the kingdom". Biden gave them unfettered access to many areas they had no business being in. They are buying up our farmland, especially close to our military bases. We need to WAKE UP!

Ever since 1949 when Mao won the revolution in China, our relationship with China has gone downhill. President Xi played Joe Biden like a fiddle. And number one son (Hunter) had some relationships with China which stunk. 

But not President Trump. He is wise to what is going on. Pete Hegseth is also very cognizant of the vile trajectory that China is on. Will this cold war with China boil over and become a shooting war? It might, and it might happen at any time.

Ronald Reagan taught us to "trust yet verify". With China, I will skip the trust thing and go right into the verify thing. I have studied China since 1970. I lived (was stationed) within spitting distance of China for a year and a half. I keep hearing that it is the people who are good, and the government is corrupt. To that I say this to the people - for 75 years you have had the same type of government. Until you take care of getting a new government, you and your government are being painted with the same brush.  

Are we EVER going to fix Social Security?

"Seniors - save your nickels and dimes. When 2035 comes, the good times will have come and gone. The time for fixing Social Security will have come and gone. Keep a good relationship going with your kids and grandies - you might be living with them from 2035 onward." 

If you ever want to really tick off a Democrat, refer to Social Security as a "Ponzi scheme". Why? It really is one. This fund, which was set up decades ago, seems to have morphed in form and purpose. More people were supposed to have died prior to reaching the age to access it. And the number of people putting into the fund was very plentiful in the old days. Today - not so much. What does all this add up to? Social Security might be running out of enough money to pay full benefits by 2035.

How has it changed in its purpose? This once "safety net" fund, is now a critical part of many seniors' retirement plans. Why? Fewer companies are offering pension plans. Plus, some self-directed IRA accounts, 401K or 403B accounts - imploded. And money in the bank pays peanuts for interest these days. The bottom line is this - some seniors had the opportunity to plan a good retirement sans Social Security, and others did not. Those who did not, really and truly need Social Security to live on.

Unfortunately, the term Social Security is still the third rail in politics. Just mention the term, and the other side instantly accuses you of trying to "gut" the fund. Even suggesting it needs to be fixed or reformed, is a Washinton DC "no-no". Instead of acting bold and decisive, the DC crowd just ignores it, and lets it get worse and worse every year. What some prognosticators are now saying, is by 2035 seniors will need to take a 25% to 35% cut in benefits to keep the fund going for a few more years. Who wants to deliver that ugly message?

When is the best time to fix Social Security? A few years back would be the best answer. The second-best answer is right now. To wait until the hammer comes down in 2035 would be the worst answer. I will say this however - having the DOGE Team go into the fund to look for fraud, waste and abuse was a good start. Will that fix the problem? Probably not, but it will give us some more runway to operate on. 

Years ago, before he became the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan had some good ideas on how to reform Social Security. What happened to those good ideas? Gone. Too hard. Too political. It seems many think having a broken and dying system is better than trying a new one. Then so be it.

Seniors - save your nickels and dimes. When 2035 comes, the good times will have come and gone. The time for fixing Social Security will have come and gone. Keep a good relationship going with your kids and grandies - you might be living with them from 2035 onward. 

     

Heroes and zeros in LA

 

"Just think - if Biden had done his job rather than trying to destroy this country, ICE would be a minor league player today. But because of the malicious treason that Biden had visited upon this country by his benign neglect, ICE is now a major league player. They have to be."

Anything worth watching on TV this past weekend? Not really, with the exception of the latest insurrection in Los Angeles. No wait - this could not have been Los Angeles, as the rioters are carrying Mexican flags. This must have been in Mexico City, or someplace like that. Nope - sorry. It was LA, and the Mexican flags were because of...oh, crap! I don't know! It makes no sense to me. I guess the illegal Mexicans who live in LA are protesting law and order. And why not? In Mexico there seems to be no law and order, so why not here?

When did the riots from this weekend really start? What was the match which lit the fire? For the answer to that question, one only needs to go back to the days of Biden, letting in millions of illegals from all over the world. Plus, you need to go back to the days when the blue leaders who run blue cities thought it would be a good idea to become a sanctuary. That was the alpha, and this weekend, we entered the time of the omega.

The avowed communist who is the mayor of LA (Karen Bass), does not believe in law and order. Wait - what? As a mayor, did she not take an oath to uphold law and order? How about the governor of California, Gavin Newsom? Did he not also to take an oath to uphold law and order. Okay - so what? That was yesterday and this is today. Today we are living in the Days of Deception, the End Times. Up is down and black is white. Gaslighting and lying are as common as thugs shooting fireworks at cops.

Since the highly ineffective Newsom and Bass refused to call out the National Guard, President Trump did it instead of them. Now Newsom is having a fit, called Trump a dictator, and will file a lawsuit against him today. Careful Governor Newsom - you are entering fire season. It would be good not to tick off the guy who can really help you in times of trouble. I mean, face facts California. You voted for zeros instead of heroes, and you get what you got. Good luck with that one!

Just think - if Biden had done his job rather than trying to destroy this country, ICE would be a minor league player today. But because of the malicious treason that Biden had visited upon this country by his benign neglect, ICE is now a major league player. They have to be. The almost funny thing is, the zeros who run (ruin) our large blue cities, all blame Trump for this, and not Biden. They blame the hero, not the zero. 

Welcome to the Days of Deception. As bad as things are now, they will get worse. Stay true to real truth and beware of the counterfeits. Where can you find real truth today? Crack open your Bible. It is there you will find real truth.

No welcome mat for some

 

"The Minneapolis we remember from decades ago, occupied by people who were civil and normal, no longer exists. Probably never will again. People who are lawful, tend to stay away from areas of lawlessness. Fact of life." 

One of the strangest things I have seen as late, are the immigration protesters, who claim they want to be here (although illegally), carrying around a flag from a different country. Not our flag, which somehow always seems to end up on the street or on fire, but flags from other countries (like Mexico). I mean - what is the message? They want to stay here, and yet they have strong feelings for their home country. Then go back home. Why? Our welcome mat is rolled up - not available for some. For law abiders, it has always been there - always will be. For the illegals, the Biden days are over. We are back to law and order now.

For those protesters who are throwing rocks, bottles, shooting fireworks, and so forth at our law enforcement people, your days are numbered. Yes, believe it or not, even ICE is considered law enforcement. You can dress up in black, wear a mask, act uncivilly, and break our laws, but that will not be enough to dissuade us from doing what needs to be done. Why? There are more of us, actually a lot more of us, than there are of you. Plus (and this is a big one), we have the law on our side. You may think human traffickers and drug runners are heroes who should be lionized, but they are not. They are illegal law breakers and need to be kicked out of here.

The real battlefield right now seems to be in the sanctuary state of California. All heck is breaking loose, and Gavin Newsom is trying his best to do a Tim Walz lookalike contest. How so? Let it burn and open the window so Gwen can smell the fumes. But Donald Trump says hold on a minute! This is not 2020 and we are not doing the Minneapolis thing all over again. I will send in the National Guard if Bass and Newsome won't!

Maybe I need to repeat this because of how important it is. WE ARE NOT DOING THIS AGAIN! The mutts who are acting up, trying to protect the illegal criminals, who are attacking our law enforcement, need to get the J6 treatment. Throw them all in jail and let them rot for months. The citizens, the patriots who live in this country, had no patience for this in 2020, and have less today. The avowed Communist mayor of LA is as useless as a screen door on a submarine. Gavin Newsom - not much better. They are not just part of the problem; they are the problem!

All it will take is just the hint of more lawlessness in Minneapolis, and all the repair the city leaders have tried to do for its reputation will all be for naught. For those of us who have given up on Minneapolis after 2020, that is just fine with us. The Minneapolis we remember from decades ago, occupied by people who were civil and normal, no longer exists. Probably never will again. People who are lawful, tend to stay away from areas of lawlessness. Fact of life. 

Again, who is the welcome mat out for? Legal newcomers, who want to become a part of our national fabric. Normal folk. People who want to cause trouble, break our laws, are not welcome. That includes illegal immigrants as well as people who were born here but just can't behave.
