If You Aren't Following This Guy You Should

 I've been away for a while I know, but all politics is (are?) local and I've been there (because this is one of the most corrupt counties you'll ever see and we are fighting to save it) and I've been over here and over there, up and down the road with volunteer stuff and family stuff, dealing with 5 cats and a dog, and I'm 70 flippin years old.  And I suspect I've got another surgery in my future 'cause stuff just ain't quite right right now.  So I don't get stuff done as fast as I used to.

BUT I AM paying attention.  And one of the wonderful people who has caught my attention is a young Canadian immigrant by the name of Tom MacDonald.  Look past his tattoos and crazy hair and listen to his rap.  Yes rap.  When this one is done, go listen to "American Flags."

Damn, I love this guy.

PS - I hope this is the right link.  I'm doing this from my phone...

No Regrets

She showed up pregnant.  I made a deal with the local animal welfare folks: I would foster her kittens until they could take them and I would keep Mama.

This is her first Christmas with me.


No regrets.

The Trans Fraud...

 ... is the mentally ill child of a "study" done by a pervert who presented his failed experiment as a success.

Yeah, I've been gone a while, so this will probably not get much in hits, but I'm JUST SO TIRED of this.  Most people had a "live and let live" attitude.   But then we were pressured to accept disordered attitudes as "normal".  Even if it violated our religious beliefs.  Those we had left alone refused to leave US alone. And no, we don't hate anyone.  We just believe that sex and marriage have specific definitions and places in society and the ignoring of those has not done society any favors.  And, believe me, I'm not the least bit afraid of those prancing, badly made up, mentally ill chanters who were out last weekend.  "Phobic" is very much misused.  

But over the last couple years a mental illness has descended on the US, if not the world.  And the masks are coming off.  Whether "gay" or "trans" they can't reproduce, and they've finally admitted that the only way they can keep their numbers up is to indoctrinate children and their parents.  Some places - Minnesota comes to mind - want to make pedophiles a protected class and are trying to conceal what they are by changing the name used for them.  As if "minor attracted person" is not still someone who is an incurable danger to children.

Which was pretty much what we predicted, same as we predicted and proved right when we said that "safe and rare" abortion was a lie that would evolve into a form of birth control that would be demanded up until birth.

But back to the origin of the "trans" lie.  Once upon a time twin boys were born.  Circumcision went horribly wrong for one, Bruce.  Taken to a Johns Hopkins specialist named John Money, the parents were told to completely castrate the injured twin and raise him as a girl, never telling him that he was really a boy.  And to bring both twins back regularly for examinations.  Trusting Money, they regularly left the boys alone with him until the boys grew old enough to refuse to go.  Turned out Money had been requiring them to get naked and simulate sex acts, including intercourse, for his "study."  Bruce, raised as a girl and given hormones, never accepted that he was female and retained male characteristics even though he didn't find out the truth until he was 15.  Eventually, he changed his name to David, married, and adopted children.  Unfortunately, his twin died of an overdose, and David eventually committed suicide, both victims of the perversion of a so-called researcher.  

But the story doesn't end there.  Money published his "study", touting it as a successful study that proved that gender can be reassigned when in reality Bruce/David totally disproved that.  And the gates of hell were happily opened - people have accepted the lie.  They "follow the science." But it's really a destructive non-science.  

More detail can be found here.

And I wish people would stop referring to the likes of Lea Thomas and Dylan Mulvaney as "she".  Their delusions have not changed anything.  If they were born a he, they are still a he and people should not feed into their delusions and manipulations.

Silly Bear. Er, Dog.

I also have cats.  So years ago, after the second doggy door was knocked out of the door between the TV room/library and the laundry room, I had a pass-through put in the wall so the cat pans can be hidden in the laundry room.  

Unfortunately some dogs view litter pans as tootsie roll dispensers.  Copper is one of those dogs and has recently discovered the pass through.  I'm now keeping the pans super clean. And he's providing me with no end of entertainment.

Oh, Yeah. THAT Wasn't Suspicious.

Text from neighbor today: did I see a guy walking past the house a little while ago?  No, I was on the back side of the house.  And Copper was engrossed in a frozen soup bone and didn't bark.  Seems that she saw guy walking by the house and then turn off and go into the bushes.  She went out and asked if she could help him.  He brushed her off with a nonsensical answer, then walked on.  Shortly after, a pickup truck pulled up, the driver went into the bushes and returned with a pouch, then left.

Uhhhhh.  Yeah.  Since she wasn't expecting such a flagrant bit of drug transfer she doesn't have enough info to feel it can be reported to the Sheriff.  Now we're waiting for them to be dumb enough for a repeat so info like plate # can be snagged.

Update:  Bad guy was accidently released by the VA county next to us.  Has been seen a couple blocks down from me.  Doors are locked, guns are checked.

Update to update:  Bad guy is back in custody.

Classified vs Declassified

This whole dust up over the Mar-A-Lago raid and "we're scared he has classified documents" reminds me of long long ago in a galaxy far far away when I worked for a gummit agency that was involved with Nike missile bases. Specifically, positioning the launch sites.  Eventually, some years after the Nikes were decommissioned, our work was declassified. A gummit spook came in and used a black magic marker to mark out the super secret stuff. And because the spook was taking the originals my agency made copies. There were a lot of documents so everybody was detailed for shifts of copy detail. And I quickly realized that things went faster if I didn't close the copier lid at each page. So I watched the light flash under each sheet.

I'm still laughing 40 years later.

Did I mention 1) the "classified" work had been stored in folders that everybody had access to all the time?  or 2) that by law all our work had to be in PEN? Which makes an impression on paper. That isn't hidden by magic marker. And because of that every time the copier light flashed the blacked out data was clearly visible.  

I've been dubious about the classified/declassified thing ever since.

The Good News, The Bad News

The good news:  The US Stasi have probably handed the presidency to Donald Trump in 2024.

The bad news: they've probably already hired their shooter.

And if you don't think elements within the US government would use assasination to get what they want then you haven't been paying attention.

Just FYI

 Just as I will no longer use the term "pro-choice", since "pro-abortion" is more accurate,  I will no longer use the term FBI. "US Stasi" is more appropriate.

And please stop with the "so many good people there" stuff.  The ENTIRE agency is corrupt.

Well, Dayam...

David McCullough has died.  One of the best at making history accessable and exciting.

I have a degree in geology.  I love science.  But I also love history.  I thought about getting a degree in history after I retired.  Then I found out what that would cost even for a senior retiree.  Never mind.  I'll just keep on keeping on reading what interests me.

And I'll miss McCullough's books.

But a biography of Harding is awaiting me by my bed and a history of the patent war between Edison and Westinghouse is on its way.

That Is SO Annoying

I've gotten into the habit of carrying a pocket knife of a certain size.  It wasn't expensive but it clipped to my pocket and I could keep the blade sharp enough for my uses.  Didn't realize how much I used it until I lost it.

And part of that was "Didn't guys used to always carry a pocket knife?"  I kept asking guys when I needed one and they didn't have one.  Dad always had one and I have a couple of his but I don't want to risk losing them.

Bingo!

 Although, really, I knew it, you knew it, the January 6 committee knew it, and everybody that supports the January 6 committee knew it.

'BREAKING: Internal email reveals day before Jan 6 riot, US Capitol Police intel unit warned "BLM from Baltimore" was bussing in rioters: "BLM/Antifa will wear MAGA hats, wear camo, and attempt to blend in with MAGA crowd" so violence blamed on Trump supporters attending Trump rally'

And who is in charge of the Capitol Police?  Why, Nancy Pelosi.  Who, I suspect, PAID for it as well.

Poking Fun

A Tweet So Dumb...

 ... it gave Thurgood Marshall a case of Forest Whitaker eye...


"Ketanji Brown Jackson is sworn in as the first Black Supreme Court justice in U.S. history," GMA tweeted at 1:46 p.m.

So, We Were At The Lake


At a friend's house on Lake Gaston down in southern VA.  And a fox lives there, too.  So I take pup out for our morning walk and the fox had just been there and Copper hit that scent and Lost His Mind.  Total berserk fox hound.  I had to drop the leash and just follow him because he was 75 pounds of uncontrollable hound.  Which was OK, since the woods are open pine and it was easy going.  I had seen the fox several times while we were there and knew it stayed close to the house so I wasn't worried.  Figured pup would eventually burn himself out the way he was yelling and tracking.  But because I was following some yards back I saw what Copper didn't:  he passed within inches of the fox.  Which then scampered off in the other direction.  While Copper continued on, totally oblivious, until he wore himself out.  My tracking hound never knew that he had actually flushed what he was tracking.

But at least he's cute.

Time To Praise The Lord

And hope we don't have to pass the ammunition.

There are 3 things about the pro-abortionists that are very true:  1) They are exactly the same as the nice Germans who let 6 million Jews go to their deaths. Nice people.  Next door neighbor people.  Who "othered" a whole group of human beings because the campaign to do so was so well done.  And that othering led to an unbelievable slaughter.   2)  They think women are sluts lacking in self control.  Yes, they do.  They'll scream about rape and incest and the mother's life all the while knowing that those situations are a very, very tiny percentage of abortions.  In reality, they just think women are sluts who can't keep their legs closed.  And 3)  the biggest beneficiary of abortion has been men.  By far.  Play all you want, then crush the heads, pull the legs and arms off, suck it into a bucket, and voila!  Free to play again with no ties to bind. No responsibility involved.

Sigh

40 years ago I used to do my own oil changes. And spark plugs. And tire changes.  And we had to be able to identify parts of an engine to pass Driver's Ed.

Today I was 60 miles from home at a doc appt.  Note to self - pay more attention to the addresses of referrals next time.  Just before I got there the oil pressure light on my Subaru came on.  I had to use the 2 inch thick car manual to find the hood latch.  And then I realized that I didn't even remember where the oily stuff is supposed to be on the dip stick.  

It's nice to have a little bit of money so you can pay other people to do grunge jobs like car repairs for you.  But I couldn't remember what the dip stick was supposed to tell me.  Feeling facepalmy now.
