Voting
I disagree with Ol' Remus, over at
Yer Ol' Woodpile Report. I think we can vote our way out of our problems. The only problem, we still aren't getting the right people to elect.
That's right. The same ol' people that are willing to cave to communist and socialist policies are running for office. We can see this by our country's lack of a border wall, holding businesses (especially Big Business) accountable for hiring illegal aliens, and failing to return criminal aliens to their home country.
But, ... There is a problem.
We (you and your adult family members) need to vote, this November!
We can't sit this one out. We can't stay home because it's a forgone conclusion. We can't log a protest vote for a third party because the so-called major party pick is a sleaze bag.
We have to vote this November!
So, ...
I need your help!
I need you to register to vote then vote on November 6th, 2018!
I need you to get your partner registered to vote then make sure they vote on November 6th, 2018!
I need you to get your friends and extended family to register to vote and have them vote on November 6th, 2018!
Lastly, I need your help in getting as many people as possible to vote on November 6th, 2018!
Yeah, ... It's that important

Folks, ... We don't have an illegal immigration problem.
We have a border control problem and a law enforcement problem
Assault
First, ... When a person, male or female, says they have been sexually assaulted, I believe them, at first.
After that, evidence must be collected and an investigation completed before a woman or a man should be tried for sexual assault.
With that said, ... You read the story
Black Panther
Just to make sure, you know what the movie was really about.
Computers
I was reading an article, the other day. In the article, the author suggests connected machines, such as refrigerators, baby monitors, and other devices could be used to launch denial of services attacks.
Well, ...
It seems there are other cyber attacks that could be launched from your very own home.
Disturbance
Folks, bullets don't care who or what they hit, a police officer or a citizen.
Plus, ... Have you thought of body armour for you and your partner?
Divestment
I wonder, do the Saudis know something we should know?
Like, ...
The Kingdom is running out of oil?
E-Mail
You know how they are responding?
They're putting a “Sensitive But Unclassified”server in a closet at Mr. Pompeo home. ; - )
Fees
Are you and your family still using Big banks to do your business?
Oooh, ...
Notice how the customers aren't getting those fees returned to them?
Fort Trump
Yes, it's a stupid name, but ...
For a large military base, I would like to suggest, ... Joint Base
Casimir Pulaski
If it's a smaller base, I suggest Camp
Frank Witek
For a naval station, I suggest Naval Operations Base
Hyman Rickover
Lastly, for an Air Force base, I suggest Air Force base
Gabby Gabreski
Ha, Ha, Ha
A secret ocean lair, sharks, and ...
No lasers, ... yet ; - )
Karen Monahan
Yeap, ... The classic media is diverting our attention
Korea
Cool, but
where are the lights?
Memory
Remember the guy that wrote a blog on the government's time. He wanted to kill all the white people.
The only difference this time, the guy wants to kill all the rich people.
Observatory
I have been there. It's an interesting place, especially if you're interested in the Sun.
But, ...
It's remote, so I can understand the reason for evacuations.
However, ...
I'm still holding out for them spotting aliens. Hopefully, the world-saving kind, not the world-destroying kind.
Puerto Rico
Wow, some of these people are clueless.
Puerto Rico is a Socialist's paradise waiting to happen. A blood bath, if you were wondering.
Proof of Concept
Wow, .. What a way to lose your access to the White House.
With that said, ...
The Secret Service is working overtime to figure out what happened there.
Refugees
If you and your family were worth billions of dollars, where would you buy property?
A small country like New Zealand? A South American country, such a Paraguay?
Or, ...
How about the strongest country in the world, with a strong belief in the Rule of Law?
Science
Oooh, another way for people to try and control our nation.
Spirituality
Who knew?
Shaving
Dude, Don't make a mess
Tariffs
First, the China-Marts and others gut our factories.
Next, they gut our workers.
Now, they want to gut our country, so they can sell cheap stuff to underpaid, underemployed workers.
War in Space
Yeap, ... when Mr. Elon Musk thinks he can make a buck, off the government, it has started.
Overheard
"But the conventional wisdom is unduly alarmist."
"
On one side were FDR’s progressives, who would never be confused with the left wing of today’s Democratic Party, save for their shared distaste for political machines. (Yesterday’s progressives tended to be well-born and well-educated, obsessed with issues like temperance, cultural conformity, laissez-faire economics and moral uplift for the poor. Many disdained hyphenated identities and saw national decline and cultural degradation written in the ledgers kept on Ellis Island, leading to passage of immigration restrictions in 1924.)"
"... has all the earmarks of a calculated political ambush."
"No amount of charity or government spending will stop the next pandemic or plague...In many ways, the world is long overdue for one. basic public health will be at risk for maybe 75% or the world's population and if it is reduced to the levels of 100 years ago... that will be a loss of about 75% of the people alive today. Bacteria spread a lot more efficiently than socialist programs. Food for thought."
"allies do not have faith in American commitments because American troops might die; they have faith because American troops can kill and win."
"We're all spectators now"
"Imagine the awful possibility that Mr. Trump may have to declare some kind of martial law to roust out these seditious rascals and clean up their departments.
