Frenzied Friday

 Joe Biden has expanded on his truck driving career claims. He now claims to have been the inspiration for first the song and then the movie "Convoy". That's a big Ten/Four, good buddy Biden!!. Joe Biden, born to bullshit.

Where have all the fact checkers gone, Alfie?? Every time that Donald Trump speaks, the news media goes apeshit claiming that he is spreading lies and misinformation. Do they not listen to Biden?

In a previous dissertation, I had mentioned that the news media is excited when the President orders ice cream. I read an article the other day about how eating ice cream keeps Alzheimer's patients calm. Is the President suffering from diminished mental capacity? Asking for a friend.

White House officials are terrified to let Biden speak about the Olympics for fear that he will claim to have participated in past games. 

Rowan Williams, a former Archbishop of Canterbury has said that Greta Thunberg is a "prophet". No. you moron, Greta Thunberg is in it for profit!! Just another reason not to be Anglican or Episcopalian.

The United States lost to France in the Olympics in basketball. Who knew they played basketball in France?

Liz Cheney will lose her seat in Congress to anyone with a pulse. The select Committee on the Jan 6 protest will be her swan song. Maybe if Kevin McCarthy will slip her father a few bucks, her father  could take her hunting. 

In the Declaration of Independence, one of the charges was that the Crown had quartered soldiers in the home of citizens. Today's monarch quarters bums who won't pay the rent in your property without compensation. What part of "taking property without compensation"  does King Joe and his court jesters over at the CDC not understand?

While Biden brags about his truck driving days, the nation burns. At the border, we are importing illegals carrying the COVID-19 virus. How does this make any sense?

I love watching Rand Paul question Dr. Fauci. It is like watching Perry Mason question someone from the Jerry Springer show.

Freaky Friday Free thoughts

 This is for all of those judges and those who agree with them and are standing up for the rights of transgenders in sports.

If I, a lowly tax paying citizen, decide that I identify as a federal judge, do I have all the rights, responsibilities and powers of a federal judge? If if it works for transgenders, surely it works for federal judges. Mail me my gavel and court room assignment. I will buy my own robe.

Life was easier when we all knew that mental illness required treatment and not agreement with the mentally ill person. If a man believes that he is actually a woman and you agree with him, this is enabling him. You are as mentally ill as he is.

Twenty four states have banned psychotherapy for people with "gender dysphoria". So you cannot use mental therapy to correct a mental disorder? This is like banning braces and casts for broken bones. This is liberalism gone wild. If someone believes that they are Napoleon, do we let him crown himself and furnish an army for his use? If some kook claims to be Hitler, do we help him build death camps? If some guy believes that he is Ted Kennedy, do you let him drive your daughter to the beach? Not many people would agree with those actions, so why are we encouraging mental patients to swap out their sex organs for some artificial parts of the other sex?

The suicide rate for people who have had the "reassignment" surgery is breathtaking. Yet still, we encourage surgeons to continue their cut and paste surgeries to change the sex of mental patients.

Twelve years ago, I listened to a minister talk about the "homosexual agenda". Every bit of it has taken place since then.

Political Correctness is killing people. As parents and adults, sometimes you just have to tell your children, "That is wrong." This is that time.

Wednesday's Woes

 Last week I couldn't buy a grill. If you missed the recounting of this cluster, read my side of the story posted on July 14.  After that,  I decided that I would just repair my current grill and then look at new ones early next year when stores may actually have some in stock. So I needed a new regulator and hose for my Weber Genesis grill. I went online and naturally enough no one had one in stock. I finally found one in stock at the Ace Hardware in Reidsville and another one in stock at Ace Hardware in Eden. I ordered the one in Reidsville and was told that I could pick it up on Monday. If you guessed that Ace Hardware sent me a message on Monday telling me that it would be Thursday before I could pick up my parts, you are correct. Apparently, they didn't really have one in stock. Computers are supposed to make our lives more simple. All they are doing for me is testing the effectiveness of my blood pressure meds. 

I have been on a reading binge the last two weeks and have ordered eleven books from ThriftBooks.com in six different purchases and they have all been shipped to me without any cancellation messages. Ace Hardware and Lowes need to check with Thrift Books and see how this is done.

I watch American Pickers pretty regularly, I consider it to be a form of continuing education for a guy who sells a bunch of stuff. The news today is that Frank Fritz will not return to the show. I really didn't care for Frank. To be frank (Get the pun?), I though that Frank was a cheap SOB who tried to cheat people. To be fair, I have seen many of the new episodes without Frank and they just blow. Mike needs to shave whatever that is growing on his face. Frankly, Mike's brother Robbie and whoever that Jersey John character is need to try out for other shows. I will just watch the old reruns. 

Chuck "the schmuck" Schumer wanted to open debate on an infrastructure bill that is not yet written. How do you even do that?  Reminds me of Pelosi and Obamacare. "We have to pass the bill to see what's in it."

My wife and I will celebrate our 42nd anniversary next Wednesday.  I am always amazed that any woman could tolerate me for this length of time. I am posting this here as a reminder for myself to get out and pick up a card before next Wednesday. The selection of cards at the Dollar General just doesn't work for me.

If you are the Reverend J. Gordon Ralls and you read this, it must have been the great job that you did performing the marriage ceremony that has helped us go this long.

I just love it when Dementia Joe Biden speaks off the cuff. Last week he claimed that Facebook is killing people. Jen Psaki is a tap dancing SOB answering questions about that quote.

Texas and Oklahoma may be trying to join the SEC. This makes about as much sense as Notre Dame being in the Atlantic Coast Conference for most sports. Who even knew they played basketball at Notre Dame?

Democrats are claiming that inflation is good for the economy. Maybe that is why it is created in so many of their administrations. When we bought our first home during the Carter administration, the home mortgage rate was 16 %. I still don't understand how that could be good. Maybe it was for people who rented apartments for a living?

Tuesday Tantrum?

 My goal for the remainder of my days is to remain the only human without a smartphone. I watch young people at work check their phones between taking breaths to see what social media fad has erupted since they last checked eleven seconds earlier.

I have been operating under the idea that almost everyone has a cell phone stuck in their back pocket. It's all that I can do to carry a wallet there and my wallet can bend. They used to put watch pockets on blue jeans. No one under thirty can pick a watch out of a police lineup now. What I do find entertaining is that I have encountered several young women who carry their smartphone in their bra. Yes, granny kept her money there and now women are now packing phones there. Bras, they aren't just for breasts anymore!!

The bra story reminds me of the time at the Waffle House when I was at the cash register and a woman  was fishing through her bra for her money. She finally found the eight dollars that she needed and said, "Here's the eight dollars, what was the change?" I replied "Honey, if you have to dig through your underwear for the change, I don't want it." She just laughed and left.

I saw video clips of Two Mask Tony Fauci arguing with Rand Paul at a Senate hearing. Fauci denies that his National Institute of Health funded anything associated with the COVID-19. Fauci first said that he had "never lied" and then quickly corrected that to "I have never lied to Congress." Dr. Fauci, is that to anyone in Congress or just to a joint session of Congress? Tony Fauci, graduate of the Bill Clinton Communications School, simply cannot be believed.

My question for Fauci and everyone else in government is simply this thought. Why the hell are we funding anything in China? They sell us everything, why are we "helping" them? Don't we send them enough money now? There should be a ban on our government funding anything in China. 

The big Labor Day Weekend Flea Market in Hillsville, Virginia is coming up soon. I have been sorting through my fine wares for just the right shit to sell there. You can find me at the VFW lot there. If I am not in my spaces, I have walked over to the spaces where the Mennonite women are selling baked goods. You will be able to spot my spaces, trust me.

I am still waiting for the media to identify the members of the Central Committee that is actually running the executive branch of government. In other words, who are the folks pulling the strings on the Joe Biden puppet? My guess is that there are four or five women running things and Pete Buttigieg is the ventriloquist with his hand up Biden's ass making his lips move.

Happy Anniversary?

 Incredibly I am about ten days late on this title topic. I started this blog sixteen years and ten days ago. I have published about 725 posts in that time. There are about fifty more posts still lingering in "draft" mode. Why keep posting? Hell, I just don't know.

Having made that huge announcement, I am ready to move on in other directions.

Donald Trump says that Gen. Mark Milley should be court-martialed. I think that Milley should do the honorable thing and resign and retire. I frankly think that whoever made the decision to teach Critical Race Theory in the military should be taken out and shot. 

We have been almost two weeks without watching Joe Biden order ice cream. There are rumors of layoffs at MSNBC, NBC, and CNN if Biden can't get to an ice cream shop soon.

Last week on Huckabee, two of the guests  were Todd Starnes and Rick Santorum. The next day I ordered Starnes' book Dispatches from Bitter America and Santorum's book Blue Collar Conservatives from Thrift Books. Dispatches from Bitter America was funny and informative. I started reading Blue Collar Conservatives earlier today and it is good. The worst thing about Blue Collar is the introduction about the Republicans nominating Romany in 2012. There's just no way to make that look good.

I am tired of commercials all bragging that something is "plant based" Humans didn't climb to the top of the pyramid to eat soybeans.

By the way, milk does not come from soybeans or almonds. It most assuredly does not come from oats. There may be some liquid involved with all of those , but it is not milk.

Burger King is blowing smoke about their new plant based Impossible Whopper. Burgers are meat. Anything else is an impostor. I am not interested. 

In reference to all of the attention that high rise condos are receiving now, just a reminder that in the Book of Matthew, the Bible tells us that the foolish man built his house on sand. The arrogance of man results in high rises on barrier islands. Go figure!!

The same women who tell the government "My body, My choice", now want the government to make COVID-19 vaccinations mandatory for all. I am thinking government mandated  lobotomies for Democrats.

Facebook controls a larger share of their market than The Bell System did in their market when the government took the Bell System  to court and broke them up. Does anyone in the misnamed Justice Department read the actual law anymore?

"Human Infrastructure?" The same schmucks who believe in that also think that you can be male or female depending on how you feel.

Just a reminder that the same doctors who used to believe that "gender dysphoria" was a disease now regard it as an opportunity to make big money by cutting off body parts and hustling hormones. 

It's not as prominent as COVID, but the opioid epidemic is still hanging around looking for space in the news. I am amazed that so many people were surprised to find out that opioids are addictive. In the 19th Century, they spoke of opium dens. That wasn't the den where  many years later, Wally and the Beaver watched television.

Almost one hundred years ago , the Bayer Co. in Germany marketed a new cough medicine that helped with pneumonia and tuberculosis. It was their wonder drug. They called it "heroin". Mankind, king of slow learners.

Wednesday Words, Wisdom, and Wit?

 Democrats have a four vote margin in the Congress and think that this is a mandate to change everything in the nation. Where were all of these Democrats when Trump was President and complained about the filibuster rule? Did they want to drop it then?

We need to amend the Constitution to return the Senate to being elected to office by the State Legislatures. The Senate of today is just the House with longer terms. Richard Burr is my personal living example of why we need to change the Senate. I liked him as my Congressman. As a Senator he became The Creature from the Potomac Swamp.

In the American Spectator today, there was an article by Scott McKay, who is also the publisher of The Hayride (thehayride.com). It was titled Our Cubacrat President and His Revolutionary Handlers. Here's the first paragraph. "Let’s make something clear at the outset of this column: when we talk of President Joe Biden, we’re talking about the product of the agglomeration of leftist hacks and wannabe-autocrat thugs who handle and control him. No one outside of the nursing home our White House has become really knows exactly who makes up that cabal, but it’s not an unreasonable analysis to say the men behind the curtain are actually a quartet of women — Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Jill Biden — ahem, Dr. Jill Biden — and Susan Rice. There are probably others. It takes a village to raise an invalid president, after all."

While Scott McKay presents a good point, I prefer my comparison to the USSR's  Central Committee of the Communist Party better. 

Why is the Democrats voting bill called "For the People"? Because "Fuck the People" would just be too honest.

We tried to buy a new grill at Lowes over the weekend. My current outdoor grill is a Weber Genesis three burner gas grill.  It's the all stainless steel model so that I will feel like I am at work in a restaurant. At Lowes we found a Weber Genesis II E-435 model grill. It has a side burner(which my wife wanted) and four burners and a sear burner feature. At $1199, it was not inexpensive. Unfortunately, they did not have one in stock. I suggested they sell me the floor model. They don't do that. I asked why they keep a display model on a grill that you can't get. No response yet!! So we called the Lowes in Martinsville, Virginia. They had two. One was the model and the other was in a box. We ordered the grill and were told it would be a few days to allow for assembly and delivery. On Tuesday, they cancelled our order. They didn't have one in stock. My wife checked all of the Lowes within a hundred mile radius of us and none had the grill. They all have a display model, but no one has one they can sell. Why do you keep a model of a grill that you can't sell and can't even order. If you order one, it denies the order because they have none in stock.  I am trying to give then]m $1199 for the one they have and they won't take it. There's a new standard for stupidity in retail.

An opinion piece on the Newsweek site is titled, "Who is behind the Internet hatred of Joe Biden?". I didn't read the swill, but I would guess that everyone who is not a Communist would be the answer.

It was a heartbreaking weekend for reporters this past weekend. If you guessed that Joe Biden didn't order ice cream or pies this weekend, you are correct.  How can they cover the President if he can't get out to order chocolate chip in a sugar cone?

Is Biden the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz?

From the Social Justice Warrior front, NFL free agent Cornerback and SJW Richard Sherman was arrested early this morning as he tried to break into the home of his in-laws. In an encounter with the police, Mr. Sherman resisted the police and a K-9 team was activated. The famed activist and social justice warrior was bitten on the leg by the police K-9. We are all praying that the dog won't get sick from biting Sherman. Police are also investigating a hit-and-run that might involve Sherman. No bond has been set yet. 

Major League Baseball is donating $150 million to help more blacks play baseball. Apparently MLB is dismayed by the rise in the number of Hispanics playing the game. Blacks are about ten per cent of players while accounting for about thirteen per cent of the population.  Maybe if baseball were more accepting of dance routines every time an overpaid athlete did their job, more blacks would play. Maybe if you could dunk the ball over the fence instead of batting it, more would play. Maybe if they changed the uniforms to allow bigger tattoo displays, that would help. Maybe if they spent that $150 million to pay old white people not to watch baseball??

Pardon the interruption but I just got a phone call from Jewel, the singer. She wanted me to listen to a telephone town hall on the "Equality Act" to help her LGBTQRSUV friends. You can bet that I will never buy any of her music.

We need a month for heterosexuals to celebrate their sexual preference. It is days like this that I miss the humor of Andrew Dice Clay. 

Tuesday takeout?

 Major League Baseball will hold their "All-Star" game tonight in Denver. The game is in Denver because Georgia passed a law requiring photo ID for voters. Colorado also requires voter ID, but marijuana is legal in Colorado. 

From the New York Times on Monday: "Shouting “Freedom” and other anti-government slogans, hundreds of Cubans took to the streets in cities around the country on Sunday to protest food and medicine shortages, in a remarkable eruption of discontent not seen in nearly 30 years." WOW! The Times says that "Freedom" is an anti-government slogan. Hey guys!! Thanks for finally admitting that you are a leftist Commie rag. 

Afghanistan? That is where empires go to die. The good news is that the Chinese are showing an interest in getting involved there. They must be out of slave labor at home. 

Condemned to repeat it? We didn't learn from Alexander the Great, the British, or the Soviet Union. We squandered thousands of lives and billions of dollars only to come up dry in Afghanistan. We should have left eighteen years ago. 

What could we have done with all of the lives and the money squandered in Afghanistan? 

A rapper in Chicago was released from the Cook County Jail on Saturday night after posting bail and getting a tracking device placed on his ankle. The device didn't need a lot of range. He was gunned down in the street in front of the jail. Police counted 59 shell casings in the street and said that he was hit at least 64 times. While there were security cameras in the area, no witnesses came forward to tell their story. 

The family of the drug dealer who tried to run over police officers in Elizabeth City have filed a federal lawsuit against law enforcement. They saw the payday the George Floyd family received and are hoping for an encore. Let's sue the family for wasting our time.

Rutgers University Camden Campus is going to relocate Walt Whitman's statue to a more out of the way location on campus. If Whitman were still alive, he would want to get the hell out of Camden. When Trump talked about some immigrants wanting to turn the US into something like the shithole country they left, he must have been thinking about Camden.

Walt Whitman, just another case of liberals acting against dead people for not meeting today's standards that did not exist when they lived. Being a great poet is not based on your racial views. 

Liberals, America's ISIS, want to tear down all pieces of history they don't like. But will it change that history? Of course not, but with liberals it is all about drama.

Charlottesville took down statues of Robert E. Lee and  Stonewall Jackson, and one of  William Clark, Meriwether Lewis, and Sacajawea. UVA removed a statue of George Rogers Clark. They should go ahead and shut down the museums and close the university before anyone else gets offended. For me, I will just add Charlottesville to the list of places that I will never go again.

I like to read old history books. It is amazing how the account of someone who actually participated in an event differs from the view presented by the left today. 

How long before the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, and the FDR Memorial are taken down?  Evidently, the Eleventh Commandment is "Thou shalt not offend a liberal."

I am fat, old, bald, and tired. But mostly, I am just tired of listening to liberal bullshit.

Monday Moans and Multiple Meaningless Minutiae

 A couple of weeks ago, I sent a letter to my favorite teacher in my school experiences. It was returned on Thursday by the USPS. It was marked "Return to Sender" and  "Unable to Forward". Just for the record and to support conservative viewpoints, I offer this nugget. I got his address from the public voter registration records in his state. By the way, he was a registered Democrat. Sleepy Joe, read me the fairy tale again about how there is nothing wrong with voter registration records. 

Last week, a 72 year old clerk at a Speedway station in Greensboro was killed by a 19 year old black man who was trying to rob the station. The young murderer has previously served time in prison for other robberies. His occupation was robber. This Biden voter is a walking case for public executions in front of the courthouse. Maybe we can reach the other scum by streaming it live on Facebook. Death penalties are only a deterrent when used. It's time to commit justice.

What caused climate change before the Industrial Age? My favorite BS item in all of this is how the earth's temperature is rising. I can't find anyone who can explain what the standards are for measuring the earth's temperature. I will give you a hint: Temperature measurement  station standards vary from country to country. Then we are comparing temperatures taken today with temperatures from 150 years ago that were taken with different equipment. But it is all "SCIENCE", right??

I have mentioned this before but it warrants further moans. The A.P. Leto High School Class of 1971 is meeting in October for our 50th reunion. On Friday night, there is a social that is $35 per person and a Cash Bar. My motivation to pay $70 for my wife and I to hang out on the pier listening to music I don't like and talking to people I don't know while drinking bottled water or ginger ale at absurd prices is pretty limited. Saturday night is the $95 per person dinner. That's $190 for my wife and I to have dinner. I can dine for a lot less than that at the Angus Barn and have the same chance that I will run into someone I actually know there. I don't think that I will attend.

We didn't read Thomas Wolfe at Leto so I guess that "You can't go home again" has not crossed anyone's mind.

I just heard some idiot on PBS say that there aren't many jobs available. I must be feeling pretty mellow tonight, instead of shooting the television, I just turned it off.

Here's something that I never thought I would write. I think that Caitlyn Jenner has the best chance of unseating Gavin Newsome in the California recall election. Even with help from the legislature changing all of the rules trying to help Newsome win, I still think that Jenner has a chance. Good Luck to him, her, they, them, whatever!!

I am currently reading an excellent book called Generational IQ. It's about how different generations react differently to Christianity. It is really interesting.  This book will be available for loan by the end of the week.

The other day there was a stretch limo at the Wal-Mart in Reidsville. I am not sure that a reasonable explanation exists.

In a discussion at work the other day, I told someone of a higher pay grade that he was not using the term "outliers" in the best possible way. I directed him to Malcolm Gladwell's book, "Outliers".  I have read several of Gladwell's books. This incident actually prompted me to reread "Blink", which I finished earlier today.  I feel pretty strongly that if you seek to lead, you need to be knowledgeable about leadership. What does Sleepy Joe read?? C'mon man, look it up!

Last night on "Huckabee", Rick Santorum talked about a meeting with Donald Trump a couple of years before he ran for President. Trump had read one of Santorum's books and discussed it with him. Got a story about Biden discussing a book?

I wish that I had some of those guns that liberals are always talking about on television. My guns just stay in one place, they aren't out killing anyone. Where do libs buy their guns? Are there organic models? . Remember black guns matter!!

Seven Thousand Words for Sunday

 

Biden Follies, the story continues

 I am waiting for breaking news this weekend about what kind of ice cream Sleepy Joe orders today. It's always some derivative of chocolate chip because vanilla would be labeled as "racist". 

Maybe Sleepy Joe will order a pie again this weekend. In a bold move, he ordered a cherry pie and an apple pie last weekend. Apparently the bake shop had no chocolate pies on hand? A friend forwarded a comment from Twitter by a reporter who was all excited about the President ordering pie. That reporter needs to surrender his press pass.  Please forward all media coverage of Trump buying pies or ice cream to this blog. 

Six months later and there still has been no public disclosure of who killed Ashli Babbitt on January 6 at the Capitol. Where's the investigation? Why is this information a secret? Where is all of that "transparency" that Dopey Joe promised us?

Hunter Biden makes me miss Roger Clinton, Neil Bush, Patty Davis, and Billy Carter. We were never sure if Obama had relatives in this country or on this planet.

Any claims that Biden is mentally alert fade when he starts whispering statements live on television. Yet no one in the New York Times has written about this. I wonder why not?

Marjorie Taylor Greene looks better every day. Today she called Jen Psaki  "an incredible liar". Frankly, I believe that Ms. Greene may be a master of understatement in this case. Democrats attack Ms. Greene for her QAnon beliefs. The Democrats believe in Communism and are trying to tell us that it is what America needs.  And the media tells us that the Democrats are the sane ones?? Who is bullshitting whom?

The Central Committee of the Communist Party was a fairly important part of government in the Soviet Union. It was such a great idea that Bernie Sanders brought the idea home with him after his honeymoon in Moscow. Just for the record, has any American politician, other than Bernie Sanders, honeymooned in the Soviet Union?  With the election of Joe Biden, the Democrats have implemented the Central Committee form of government here in the United States. Let's face it, Joe Biden is not making the decisions in Washington today. It's all he can do to decide on which ice cream to order. The difference between the USA and the USSR is that the USSR told us who was on the Central Committee. 

When asked about the Central Committee, Kamala Harris laughed and said "I haven't been to Moscow. Why does it matter?" .

The US Capitol Police have opened branch offices in San Francisco and Tampa. Why do they need offices in other cities? Does your city police force have offices in other states?  The acting chief said they "want to pivot towards being an intelligence based protective agency".  They failed at actually protecting the Capitol so they want to enlarge their focus? If this makes sense, seek professional mental health assistance at once.

Tirade Tuesday

 The news media is dedicating all of their reporting resources to informing Americans about the flavor of ice cream that Joe Biden orders at public appearances. Yesterday, there was a a story about him ordering two scoops of vanilla chocolate chip in a waffle cone. This was their big story? You're shitting me, right? I don't recall ever seeing a story about Trump's choice of ice cream flavors, but this is the third time that I have seen a story about Biden's ice cream choices in just a few weeks. Reporters just aren't kissing Biden's ass, they are licking it dry! Maybe that explains their unprecedented concern about Biden's flavor selections?

I also saw where somewhere off camera someone was asking Sleepy Joe a question and after rambling for a minute, he finally fished some notes from his coat pocket and read a response. How did he know that question was going to be asked so that he could bring a response?

I saw a report from Sky News in Australia about Sleepy Joe and his diminished cognitive skills. After watching this, I am doubting national media reports that all of the world is awed by our new ice cream scoop monkey.

Andrew Cuomo has declared a "state emergency" in New York over gun violence. This comes just a few hours after the Mayor of New York City announced that year to year data shows that gun violence has actually  decreased. This just isn't another Cuomo lie to deflect from his own problems, is it?  Hell yeah!!

I saw a video of Lt. Governor Mark Robinson of North Carolina speaking to the Faith and Freedom Coalition. You can find the video online if you want to see what keeps Roy Cooper from sleeping at night. You can see it on You Tube at Mark Robinson at The Faith & Freedom Coalition - YouTube  If this link doesn't work, look it up yourself.

October will bring the 50 year reunion of the Leto High School Class of 1971. I am not sure if I will attend as I doubt that many of the people attending will actually be people I know. I graduated in a class of 714 people, so there were lots of folks who I never actually met. I lived in Tampa for 12 years after graduation and didn't run into more than 20 classmates after graduation. To put it into current slang, my posse was the malcontents and the smartasses, we don't hang out at reunions.

Bill Cosby was freed the other day. Liberals don't know whether to shit or go blind. The MeToo movement is complaining but they are always complaining. Maybe Bill should sue one of those women for "using" him to advance her career. There's a tactic no one has tried yet. Young women all hang out with these old powerful guys hoping to advance their own careers. When it doesn't work out for them, they claim they were raped. Women have always been drawn to men in power. Do you think that Kamala Harris slept with Willie Brown because he was a handsome young guy? She traded sex and companionship for a couple of appointments to boards. Let's face it, our supply of vestal virgins is running low.

Is it time?

 Is it time to declare our independence from an unjust government? Is it time to acknowledge that the government is seeking to destroy our freedoms? Is it time to let those states who seek communism to go their own way? Is it time to admit that no empire lasts forever? These words from 245 years ago ring true still today.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
