Consequences

-

 As you all know, I am, at times a hard, harsh, unforgiving, individual. In other words a hard case. Having been this way for some 48 of my 56 years, I have learned a thing or two about being that way. I learned if I were going to fight, no matter if the cause was right or wrong, then I had to accept the consequences whatever they were, no exceptions. To not whine about the consequences, because no one cares, and I brought it on myself. I learned that I would have to pay a cost in interpersonal relationships, meaning that some would not like, or tolerate my attitude. I did not care, and I was the way I had to be. I have always been responsible for the consequences of my words and actions, without exception. The fault was, is and always be mine. I hold people, especially politicians, to that same standard. The people who entered the Capitol illegally, during that January insurrection, and attempted coup, now have to face the consequences, of their words and actions. Losing jobs, being arrested, being put on no fly lists, and any other consequence, is the price they pay.


They consider themselves patriots in a revolution, akin to the founding fathers. Well the punishment for the founding fathers, if they supported the revolution, was death. They gambled their, fortunes, reptuations, and lives in support of our freedom. Those people at the Capitol have not suffered any of that. Flying is not a right. Employment is not a right. If their cause was just, then why the face covering. One of the founding fathers that signed the Declaration of Independence, signed his name bigger, so as not to hide. Criminals hide their faces, patriots do not.

The point is that if a person wants to take a stand against a wrong, either real or perceived, that is their right. They should by all means, do what they have to do. They must do that within the rule of law. They must be willing to deal with the consequences. No whining like a petulant two year old, no threats, just deal with the consequences and go on. If they can't do that, then they are just run of the mill cry babies. Buck up, pull up your big boy Trumparoos, and deal with the consequences, preferably without whining, because no one cares. Have a nice day all. God Bless you all, and God Bless the United States of America.

My Father

 I had been prepping all my life for the death of my parents. When one day the hospital called and said come see your father if you want to see him alive again. So I did. I got to see him. I told him that I was ok now, and would be ok later. We had made peace about 10 years before that. We were in a good spot, Which was funny, we were never really in a bad place, we just didn't see eye to eye. I got a call a week later from my mother that he had passed. So I drove 4 hours through the early morning hours, crying and mourning my father. All that prepping that I had thought I did, turned out to be a lie. Because I wasn't prepared at all. My father and I were tight. We were both truck drivers, worked outside at manual labor. We both had an appreciation for classic cars. My father was a a hot rodder and a gearhead from the 1950's. We went to car shows together. The last one we went to was the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale AZ in 2007. We had the best time, as we always ha...

Rich Men North of Richmond

  You can't help anyone move forward if they can't get out of their own way. Those Appalachian states get more money from the government than they pay in taxes. Why not use that money to retrain people to do a job with more of a 20-year life expectancy. Maybe then there won't be so many "people dying i the street." He needs to look at himself, and the poor, and put some of the blame on them, before he goes blaming others. Look in the mirror, then out the window.  Too bad for the firefighters. They get what they get. They made their bed, time to sleep. That is what happens when you get involved in politics. Firefighting is a noble profession and business, politics is not.                   The firefighters and Disney 8/2023

Thayer Immigration Initiative

-
I proposed this about a decade ago. No one wanted to listen. This is my solution for the immigration problem. Thayer Immigration Initiative 1.   Declare six month immigration, amnesty, grace period or whatever you want to call it. 2.   Notify all illegal aliens that they must register within the time period in order to gain citizenship. 3.   Divide the country into sections along the lines of the United States District Courts. For the purpose of all legal proceedings concerning immigration. 4.   Aliens must prove that they have held a job are crime free, and have at least an 5 th grade understanding of the reading, writing, and speaking of English. 5.   Once they are registered, then confiscate their next three years Federal income tax as a fine for entering illegally. After three years test them, issue them a Social Security card, and citizenship.    6.   All persons who have served in the armed forces, and have b...
