Two very different systems...

"That being said, every time one of these 'witch hunt' inquiries comes out of the Biden/Obama Justice Department, it is another feather in Trump's hat. When Biden gets another pass on something he is dirty on, it is also another feather in Trump's hat. The Democrats have successfully made Trump look like the victim instead of the villain - time and time again."

Did you hear the big news? For the umpteenth time, the Justice Department is going after Donald Trump. It is so expected now, it is almost a parody. This is how it plays out -  the Justice Department goes after Donald Trump, and puppets like Raskin (D-MD), try to blunt real investigations into Biden. The media/DNC cabal is still after Trump. Oh, what a hated man he is! And the most inept President in the history of Presidents (Biden), keeps getting pass after pass after pass. And so does his crackhead kid.

Is this the America you recognize? It sure is not for me. Yesterday on Bill O'Reilly's YouTube channel, O'Reilly showed how the head of CNN got bounced. For what? The Donald Trump town hall. Too favorable for Trump. The cabal of leftie news sources (and there are many), set out to get rid of this cancer in CNN. For just mentioning Trump's name without it sounding like a four letter word - was an unforgivable act. Yes, the hatred, the vitriol against Donald Trump is that bad.

Let's face facts. Until we can get our two systems of justice back to one, until we can get somebody's thumb off the scale of justice, until we can get the proper blinder back on Lady Justice - we will have a corrupt country. With two systems of justice, what is going to keep us from having two systems of vote counting? Where cheating will rule the day? Even if not one person cheated in the next election, yet if half the country thought the election was rigged, the battle will still be lost. Trust is earned - and now it is lost. Somehow, trust needs to be earned back. That is a big, big problem. 

I am a 50/50 Trump guy. I LOVE what he did to the economy while he was President. All his metrics were in the "green zone". And the energy independence? Wonderful! Plus what he and Jarrad did in the Middle East was historic. On the other hand, all the palace infighting drove me crazy. I don't know if the country could handle four more years of that, regardless of how good Trump's metrics are. Many pundits feel that is what hurt him in his re-election. The "not being able to play well with others" thing.

That being said, every time one of these "witch hunt" inquiries comes out of the Biden/Obama Justice Department, it is another feather in Trump's hat. When Biden gets another pass on something he is dirty on, it is also another feather in Trump's hat. The Democrats have successfully made Trump look like the victim instead of the villain - time and time again.

America - you better heal yourself before 2024. If shenanigans abound this time, like they did in 2020, this ship of state might hit the rocky reefs instead of the sandy beach. But first things first. Lady Liberty needs a makeover. Now. That cannot wait until 2024.   

Self loving and serfdom

"If we all went back to the original YMCA motto of living our lives, we would not be in the mess we are in. If we all put God first in our lives, the difference between Republicans and Democrats would negligible."

When I was a young lad, going through what once was the true YMCA, there was a motto we all learned. Not only learned, but tried to live it. You see back then, the YMCA was a faith based organization. Young Men Christian Association - meant something. Anyhow, the motto was "I'm third". What did that mean? God was first, others second, and I'm third. You (yourself) still counted, and you were to feel good about yourself (and even love yourself), but your position was third place.

Why bring this up? This year, more than any other year, I have been trying to understand what makes Democrats tick. Why they are so different than the normal citizen. Part of it I believe, is they have a very strong desire to self love. And not to get Freudian, they also have a very strong Id. So much so, the love of self, the serving of self, seems to eclipse the greater good in our society. Want an example? 

If you are a lover of self, a lover of self satisfaction, basically a hedonist - this year's legislative session was for you. It had everything bad and evil and self loving wrapped up into one big expensive bow. But if you cared about honoring God, about serving others, there was not much there.

When Al Gore was Veep, the man who wanted to tax the socks off of everyone, someone got ahold of Al's most current income tax form. What he gave to charity that year, was an eye opener. It was a whopping $500. When that was being analyzed by some pundits on the news, it was brought up that overall, Democrats were very poor givers - whereas Conservatives were not. Why? Democrats looked at taxing others as their giving. That way they could feel good and righteous about themselves. It was self love.

Okay, I get it. I understand this whole self love thing. But serfdom? What does that have to do with it? Simple. We have making serfs out of our kids and grandkids. They will all live in serfdom, due to the mountain of debt we are leaving them. Don't get me wrong - Republicans have done their part also in garnering this huge debt. But Democrats seem to delight in doing it. We recently saw that in the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Democrats were almost giddy when this budget buster was signed into law (with zero Republican votes). 

If we all went back to the original YMCA motto of living our lives, we would not be in the mess we are in. If we all put God first in our lives, the difference between Republicans and Democrats would negligible. Then if we put others second in our lives, there would be very little debt left behind, to enslave our offspring. 

But that is not the way it is today. In the Democrat Party, God has all but disappeared. Self love has eclipsed love for others. Self loving and serfdom have become the order of the day. Is that good for America? Not a bit. But that is the rut we are stuck in.      

The next big leap?

"First things first. The Moon. We need to get some folks up to the Moon so we can continue what we started over 50 years ago. And then Mars. We can figure those two out right now."

The visionaries are hard at work. Those who gaze upward and have stars in their eyes - literally. Yes, Elon Musk could be considered one of them. But there is a big problem. It is like visionaries of old imagined latticework of super highways going all over the country. To get from one end to the other end of the country - fast! But the mode of transportation used were horse drawn wagons. So that vision quest, went back to just being a dream.

Right now, our space travelers are just trying to get to the Moon. The area of space called Cis-lunar space. Getting beyond the Moon, and maybe going to Mars - that area of space is called the heliosphere. That is the area of space which is still affected by our sun. That is still considered to be our "neighborhood". But even to get to Mars right now, requires the use of a chemical rocket (horse drawn carriage) and months of travel time. Not really a viable solution.

Then, should we get that mastered, where we could visit the other planets in our solar system, the next big (and that would be BIG) leap - would be interstellar space. Interstellar space is the area between our heliosphere and any other star's astrosphere. In other words - true outer space. Where distance is measured in light years. Sometimes thousands, or millions of light years. How could even our best chemical rocket measure up in true outer space travel? Like it was standing still - forever. 

Work is now being done on a nuclear rocket. Also the Aerospike engine. A nuclear rocket could reach speeds of 125,000 mph. That could reach Mars in about a month, rather than many months. But that is still not good enough. With the speed of light being 186,000 miles per second, even going 125,000 mph is like standing still. Some scientists think we will still be in the crawling mode, until we can come up with a rocket which can travel at a fraction of the speed of light. Keep in mind, that 186,000 miles per second, equals about 700,000,000 mph. Even a nuclear rocket, could only go a small fraction of a percent of the speed of light.

What does all this mean? Even with the SpaceX giant space rocket, which can carry large loads and land by itself - we are still at the starting point of space travel. The distances between point "A" and point "B" in space are simply staggering. For example, a neighboring galaxy to us (Andromeda), is 2.5M light years from Earth. Like I say, the distances are simply staggering. 

First things first. The Moon. We need to get some folks up to the Moon so we can continue what we started over 50 years ago. And then Mars. We can figure those two out right now. As far as outside our solar system, that stays in the science fiction section of the library for many years to come.  

    

Dumb and dumber, NLX once again

"Once again, the sheeple and commies in this state have been taken for a ride - and not a train ride. What a bunch of BS and hogwash. If the Hinkley casinos were taken off the route, guess how many people would be riding this boondoggle? Answer - not many."

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Did you know during the spend-a-thon in St. Paul, close to $200M was stuck aside to build the casino train. Casino train? What the what? That is what the Northern Lights Express which is destination Duluth really is. It is a train headed to the tribe's casino complex in Hinckley. If you miss that stop, you can get off in Duluth.

Oh, but wait! MNDOT thinks if we can garner the funding and permits, there will be a million people riding this train every year, starting in 2050. And the cost to ride up to Duluth is only $30 to $35 (one way). Who then pays for the rest of the ticket? $35 can't possibly cover the cost? Look in the mirror boy.

Once again, the sheeple and commies in this state have been taken for a ride - and not a train ride. What a bunch of BS and hogwash. If the Hinkley casinos were taken off the route, guess how many people would be riding this boondoggle? Answer - not many.

After the mess that Northstar turned out to be, after the bottomless money pit that SWLRT turned out to be, after the crime magnets that the cities LRT stations turned out to be, why in the world would any taxpayer want another money pit? Give up? Because the DEMOCRATS are controlled by the tribes. The casino tribes. Most DEMOCRATS don't give two hoots and a holler if this NLX becomes a lemon. By the time that happens, many will be out of office and will have moved on.

I am not going to waste too much ink on this issue, as having this train become reality would be like pulling and inside straight. Lots of "ifs", and the temperature of the public is tepid on this one. With that I will say, HARD STOP!

 

 

 

Mocking God

"The question always begs to be asked - why mock God? It is a very dangerous thing to do. The wrath of God is not a myth - it will happen." 

Galatians 6:7 - Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

As a country, how are we doing on this one? Should we ask the Dodger Organization? About the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence"? Or how about Target Corp, for hiring a Satanist to be the designer on some trans clothes for "Pride"? Or some of our churches today, whom are suppose to be the Bride of Christ, who are bending and changing to meet the world, rather than have the world bend and change to meet them?  

Just read an article that Tammy Baldwin is actively supporting the "Sisters". Who is Tammy? A DEMOCRAT Senator from Wisconsin. Way to go Tammy! Way to set the example for all the boys and girls in Wisconsin who just might, look up to our elected officials. But the DEMOCRAT Party is the party who booed God at their convention. And the DEMOCRATS are now the party of abortion. What about pro-life DEMOCRATS? They have gone the way of the Dodo Bird. Now DEMOCRATS are so far over the edge, many are changing their name to be the DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST PARTY.

Many Christians feel, especially those who study the end times (eschatology) as defined in the Holy Bible, that the clock is ticking. We are in the final countdown before Christ returns. For those who mock God or deny Christ, that will NOT be a good day for them. But for those who love God and follow Christ, it will be a day of promise. 

The question always begs to be asked - why mock God? It is a very dangerous thing to do. The wrath of God is not a myth - it will happen. But God loves us with a deep agape love. So much so, there is nothing we can do which is so good, that God will love us more. And - there is nothing we can do which is so bad that God will love us less. BUT - we must stop. Repent. Turn away from sin. 

How did we get to this place in our country? Where everything is fine and normal, and nothing is off limits? Consider the following Bible passage:

Isaiah 5:20 - Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 

The words of warning could not be more clear. If one are practices evil, and then calls it good, that person is on thin ice indeed. We need to stand up for our country. Stand up for our faith in God Almighty. This twisting of America has gone far enough - in fact, way too far. We need to stop this madness. We need to repent for what we have done. And we need to turn back to God. Now.  

The great Minnesota makeover

"Elections have consequences. Voting stupid has consequences. Minnesota now has the government it deserves. For us Boomers, we can only shake our heads in disbelief on what happened this year."

Well, it is done. The legislative session from hell is now over. Somehow the kids wrestled away the keys from the voters. Childish, churlish and evil things quickly started to happen. I know this - our two representatives (whom we see most every Sunday), both developed the "1,000 yard stare" from this session. It is as if they have a form of PTSD.

Earlier this week, Governor Clueless signed into law the weed bill. That will forever change the state. For those who think having legal weed will make us look chic and cosmopolitan - think again. It is a gateway to things which are far worse. Just like legalized gay marriage was a gateway to pedophilia, weed will be a gateway to crack and black tar heroin. But don't worry - Governor Turnbuckle wants to be our weed commissioner. Oh, joy.

Just to show you how nuts this session was, Minnesota was one of only a handful of states which chose to not let teenagers work longer hours. Why? Who knows. However - if you are a teen and want to sexually mutilate yourself, or a teen which wants to carry a pregnancy up to the point of birth and then abort it - go for it. Minnesota will be your sanctuary home for life.

Minnesota has changed folks. For those nimrods who wanted "the great reset" in Minnesota, you got it. Soon you will find out just what you did get. More and more money will leave the state. Some companies, who had an inclination to relocate here, are now reconsidering that option. Minnesota has become more of a business unfriendly, senior unfriendly, wealth unfriendly, and crime ridden state.

Our education sucks, and the schools are controlled of the cabal of government and unions. We pour a boatload of money into education, and the results keep slipping. What these bright bulbs decided to do? Pour more good money after bad. Two years from now, Education Minnesota will be blaming the legislature for the crappy results our kids are getting. Seen that movie over and over and over again.

I think we should erect a statue to Tim Walz. We could put it close to Floyd square. Years from now, when the dazed and confused wake up and smell the coffee (or dung), they can go see the statue of Walz to be remind them of days gone by. Minnesota will be a hollowed out gulag by then, most all freedoms will be eviscerated, and Minneapolis will look like the twin city to Detroit or Chicago. 

Elections have consequences. Voting stupid has consequences. Minnesota now has the government it deserves. For us Boomers, we can only shake our heads in disbelief on what happened this year.

For the Gen X generation and beyond - this stinky turd now belongs to you. Good luck to you all.   

US - on display again

"Donald Trump almost fell when he was at one of the service academies. It ended up being more of a shuffle than a fall. And Trump blew it off as no big deal. Even though the lap dog media tried to make it look like Trump had a stroke, it really was no big deal."

INYMI - Uncle Joe fell again yesterday. Am I making fun of him for falling? Not a bit. I have fallen as I have aged. No fun. But here is the deal folks - when you are the President - by definition, the most powerful man on Earth, you are expected to be almost "super human". To fall, for the entire world to see, a President, no matter how fit, appears mortal. And therein lies the rub.

Donald Trump almost fell when he was at one of the service academies. It ended up being more of a shuffle than a fall. And Trump blew it off as no big deal. Even though the lap dog media tried to make it look like Trump had a stroke, it really was no big deal. 

Any other Presidents fall? Gerald Ford did. Again, no big deal. Ford was an athlete. And George Bush (41), blew chunks while in Japan. He kind of fainted when he sullied the Japanese Premiere's shoes. And his son, George Bush (43), showed how coordinated he was, when some Arab threw his shoe at him. The Arab missed, as Bush ducked just in time. 

Where am I going with this? Age, and how we age. Bernie Sanders is older than Biden. He has aged better. Sharper, and more steady on his feet. Newly minted Senator Fetterman has not aged well at all. He probably will not make it to Biden's current age. Diane Feinstein has aged well until she started bumping into 100. Now age has caught up with her. No matter however, she can still be wheeled into the Senate chamber, so she can be told how to vote.

Now here is the very bad news for the Democrats. In all my years, I have never seen the Democrat bench so sparse. They have a geriatric who wants to run for another four years. He is currently older than Methuselah, and not getting any younger. His Veep is a reviled person. Even those in her own party, can't stand her. After that comes Mayor Pete. His star became very tarnished with his handling of planes, trains and automobiles. Robert Kennedy Jr. wants the job, but his chances are longer than a long shot. 

The Republicans could put an end to any drama which might ensue from the 2024 election. It would involve Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis smoking the peace pipe, and deciding in 2024 the winning ticket would be Trump for Pres, and DeSantis for Veep. Trump can only run one more time, and then the runway would be wide open for the much younger DeSantis in 2028 and 2032.

Nicki Haley could suspend, as Trump would ask her to be his SOS when elected. Vivek Ramaswamy could also suspend, as Trump would ask him to be his Treasury guy. Tim Scott would excellent as Trump's National Security Advisor, and Tom Cotton could resign from the Senate to be Trump's SecDef. And finally, Mike Lee would also resign from the Senate to Trump's AG.

Will that happen? Probably not. Only in my dreams. Instead, Trump and DeSantis will go after each other hammer and tong. They only team which can beat Team Red going forward, is Team Red. They can so weaken themselves by infighting, some mutts from the other side could carry on where Biden left off. And that - would be bad - very bad.
