Now for Something Completely Different

 I read a lot of novels. Many of them are crime fiction that I download free of charge, thank goodness.

There are a lot of bad authors out there. I tip my hat to all of them, even the bad ones, since I have never been able to write a novel, much as I have wanted to.

I bring this up because so many of them, good authors and, in my opinion, bad, make the same mistakes.

How many times have I read the sentence, "Suddenly his phone rang."? In your experience has a phone ever not rung "suddenly"?

Then there is this one that occurs in slightly different forms depending on the context, but far too often,

"At 1:13AM on the night of ...". or,

"Let's meet tomorrow morning at 7AM."

Drives me crazy.

While I am at it, another thing of a similar nature but not related to books. Sayings that mean nothing.

My all time favorite.

"You always find it in the last place you look."

This is true. If it is in the first place you look you stop looking which makes it the last place you look.

Impeachment 2, Why?

Why did they impeach former President Trump for a second time? 

Because the establishment is terrified of him running in 2024. Democrats and establishment Republicans alike.

Why are they terrified of him running again? After all, they beat him handily in 2020 didn't they?

No they did not. He won. They know it. 

They are not at all sure that the stars will again align perfectly to cover their fraud in 2024. It is extremely unlikely another pandemic will show up just in time to save them.

Quite an astonishing coincidence that the China Virus arrived just in time to save the Chinese from the greatest existential threat they have faced in 50 years. Donald J. Trump. 

One year ago President Trump was simply unbeatable.

And then the China Virus hit.

Instead of uniting in support of relief efforts in this country the Democrats and establishment Republicans went into hyper-attack mode, recognizing the life line the Chinese created intentionally or accidentally and in either case lied to the world about for months.

They are terrified.

Be of good cheer my friends. The good guys always win. Sometimes it takes longer than we would like.

What Is Special About Gay and Trans People?

 Nothing.

Remember that as the left continues to coerce us into pretending they are.

The Speech I Would Like President Trump to Give

I would like to hear President Trump give this speech. 

 My Fellow Americans, I am grateful beyond measure for the opportunity you bestowed on me to lead this country out of its post 2008 recession and into the most prosperous and exciting years in our history. 

For those of you I failed to persuade to vote for me in 2020, I apologize. I did not campaign hard enough to win your support. I will do better next time. 

For those of you who did vote for me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

The next two years will be filled with promises not kept by the new administration. 

There will be no "free" college for all. 

There will be no "Universal Free" medical care. 

There will be no "Guaranteed Income". 

Unicorns are in notoriously short supply. Although a surprising number of politicians and Democrat voters still seem to think otherwise. 

There will be turmoil. A lot of it. 

That will end in 2022 when Conservatives retake control of the House and Senate. 

Most of it will originate with disappointed Socialist Democrat voters as they come to understand what those of you who voted for me already understand. There is no free lunch. 

Most Americans are not obsessed with race and gender issues and will not support racism and sexism that insults and excoriates vast numbers of us who harbor absolutely no animosity on the basis of race, gender or religion. 

We believe in "live and let live" and ask only that we be treated in the same way we treat others. God Bless you and God Bless the United States of America. 

 

China Virus Order and Comment

 I think I have written before that at the outset of the pandemic I, like most people, was willing to allow those who would ultimately be held responsible for the results of our response to err on the side of caution.

I, after all, was not going to wake up one day to discover that my inattention, indecision or error had caused a catastrophe.

That was then. This is now. Here is the only order, in my opinion, that any of us should be willing to obey given the vast amount of information we now have on the China Virus and its trajectory.

"If you are 60 years or older please stay at home as much as possible for the duration. You are at comparatively high risk of infection, severe symptoms and death. Wear a mask and distance when you must go out.

If you are less than 60 years old but suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and/or respiratory illness please stay at home as much as possible for the duration. You are at comparatively high risk of infection, severe symptoms and death. Wear a mask and distance when you must go out.

While you may be willing to take your chances, that would be unfair to your fellow citizens. Medical resources will be impacted unnecessarily and medical services to others for China Virus infection and all other issues will be adversely affected if those of us at highest risk are careless. Wear a mask and distance when you must go out.

If you do not fall into either of the populations described above, please go about your business, carefully.

Wear a mask indoors in public places and stay as far from others as practical."

I find myself more and more persuaded that the Chinese released the virus intentionally, or, once it spread in China, allowed it out of the country intentionally for the sole purpose of derailing the re-election prospects of the only man in the western hemisphere they fear. 

President Trump is the only leader who has stood up to them and has the nerve to stick to his principles. There was no chance of President Trump being defeated before the Chinese Virus entered the West. None.

They may have succeeded.

 

We Win, They Lose

Before Ronald Reagan ran for President in 1980 he was visited by a fellow from New Jersey, who's name I have forgotten. The fellow wanted Reagan to endorse his run for Governor of New Jersey.

As the story goes, the visitor asked Reagan about his vision for the Cold War. Reagan's answer, as the story goes, was, "We win, they lose". The visitor dropped his interest in his own run and signed on to Reagan's campaign.

In 1984 Reagan won 49 states running against Walter Mondale.  Think about that for a moment, 49 states.

He also won 58.8% of the popular vote.

36 years later the idea of either major presidential candidate winning 49 states is unthinkable.

What has changed? Has the right become more right-wing? I don't see any evidence of that at all.

We remain the champions of limited government and individual freedom and responsibility. 1st Amendment and 2nd Amendment are, to us, sacred.

Has the left become more left-wing? 

Here is Mondale's 1984 platform.

The answer to my question is a resounding yes.

Free everything for everyone except those of us who pay taxes. Micro management of everything you and I do and what we are allowed to say.

My friends, tomorrow We Win. They Lose. Simple as that.

Be of good cheer and vote!

 

This and That # 14

Think hard.

How do we know that they know they are going to lose? Easy. 

Joe Biden is in hiding. ",la" (Comma La, is, after all the correct pronunciation we are told) is almost invisible.  

The relentless ridiculous attacks on President Trump that are being published several times a day as the "press" tries desperately to get something to stick.

The latest offering comes from Huffington Post courtesy of Yahoo's front page.

" Intelligence officers in charge of briefing President Donald Trump on threats against the nation are reportedly “terrified” of speaking to him about Russia out of fear of how the president will react."

Wow. That's bad. Evidence for this assertion? ZERO, as usual. Read the article if you have time to waste.

 I have made this point many times before. I will make it again.

It is the mission of the press to discourage us from voting. Don't let them succeed. It does not matter whether you live in a red or blue state. 

When President Trump wins in November we will be beaten over the head for four more years if the Harris/? (insert name of VP after 2 weeks of her administration) wins the popular vote. Vote.

It is also important to vote, no matter where you live, because as Hugh Hewitt has been saying since at least 2004,

"If it isn't close they can't cheat." 

Be confident my friends. Have faith in the real American people. We will prevail, as always, through hard work and abiding by the rules.
