A Time to Heel

1 Comment

Another great article from my friend Greg.

By: G. Maresca

Joe Biden’s “time for healing” and “stop treating our opponents as our enemies” speech was anything but Lincolnesque as the most divisive, volatile election since the Civil War has put many in doubt.

One teacher’s union has already demanded that Biden oppose any charter school expansion, while putting an end to school choice for Washington D.C.’s low-income families.  This is the same city that Biden won 93 percent of the vote.  With such gaudy numbers, Democrats must believe that everyone is as easily manipulated.

Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron Klain is a former lobbyist for Silicon Valley titans Google, Facebook and Twitter, so forget about restricting their monopoly of social media censorship.

For at least two generations, Democrats have amplified how politics is not about compromise, but unadulterated power.  Any opposition is accused of being racist, homophobic, and xenophobic bigots, who must be subdued by any means in a nation where once Judeo-Christian principles governed our hearts and minds.

Turning a jaundiced eye toward Biden’s platitudes after tens of millions of Americans remained convinced the election was stolen isn’t difficult.  Biden’s plea is political virtue-signaling in the first-degree. Leftists in government, media, sports, big-tech, and entertainment continue to wage a relentless smear campaign against Trump and those who voted for him.

Democrats arrogantly called themselves the “resistance” saying Trump was an “illegitimate” president before he was even sworn in.  So, after four years of character assassination, anti-Trump hysteria and impeachment, race baiting, rioting, looting, and arson Democrats now want healing.

In Biden, speak healing is code for tax dollars that will subsidize abortions, mask and vaccination mandates, open borders, Green New Deal, reparations, and tax increases.  Such actions will only exacerbate conflict and constitutional disputes.

Healing should include exposing any election fraud, no?

Reconciling will occur when the unbridled slaughter of the unborn ends, and when the Little Sisters of the Poor and every other faith group’s conscience is protected.

With healing comes truth and transparency.

How did Biden retail his influence as vice president to the Chinese, Russians and Ukrainians?  What about the police and business owners who were killed, injured and looted?   Are the blacks who supported Trump still black?  Are the nearly 74,000,000 voters for Trump still “systemic” racists?  What about AOC’s call for persecution of them?   What about Biden’s silence on the Gen. Flynn cabal, the Mueller decapitation, and the Steele dossier, knowing they were all a pack of lies?  The left has not only opposed Trump’s policies; they have opposed his very existence.  And now after such debauchery, they insist on singing a chorus of kumbaya’s?

Provided Biden is serious, he will get plenty of flak from his own party. And don’t forget Kamala Harris beacons a heartbeat away.

The healing Biden desires only happens after amputations.

Healing and unity for Democrats is a one-way street and only applies when they are in control, which is why the runoff senate race in Georgia on Jan. 5, 2021 is pivotal.  Provided the GOP is victorious, Biden will have no choice but to govern from the center at least for the first two years of his administration.  That is provided the political mooring of Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, refuse to stand fast.

“There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by the gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation.” Biden like Obama will soon occupy the same White House as James Madison, the owner of that quote and father of our Constitution.  Obama and Biden never knew him, but Madison clearly knew them and those like them.

Unifying the country by a career politician like Biden is wishful at best.  If Washington D.C. is the swamp, then the 78-year-old Biden is its version of the swamp fox.

Our fundamental divisions concentrate on a demise of traditional, moral values.  They are essentially spiritual schisms which evolve from our relationship, or lack thereof, with God.  However, divided we used to be by political ideology, the nation always historically managed to circle the wagons around our shared Judeo-Christian roots, where its foundational virtues and conventions were passed down from generation to generation.

Authentic healing will only come through the grace of Divine Providence, not ersatz political bipartisanship.

Postscript. News is out about Mr. Mattis’ association with an organization not too friendly to the current US policy towards rogue nations. So what’s new with this fellow who says he is a Marine, but thousands of real Marines have disowned this skunk of a general (small caps for him). I find it astonishing that my post entitled “An Open Letter to Mr. Mattis” was posted on 9 June and to this very day it still gets views, EVERY DAY e.g. four today. That post has literally gone viral all over the world; keep it going. I would be willing to bet money he gets some kind of a posting from biden (small caps again).

Hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoying family and friends. Stay well and stay safe. Semper Fi; Jim

God Bless Him!

How many of you saw this on the MSM? I don’t watch their garbage, so I have no idea as to whether it was shown or not. Please take note as to who is not under an umbrella! Remember when the MSM made a comment that President Trump cancelled the Normandy celebration because he didn’t want to get his hair messed up? Well, it was pouring rain when this video was shot and he sure wasn’t worried about his or anyone else in the group getting wet.

I’d ask do you think Obummer would have done this without a Marine following him around holding an umbrella. Do you believe Biden would do this?

Tell me this man does not admire and cherish the military. I think one of his Marine aides taught him how correctly salute!!! Melanie’s even in step with her escort!

I remember participating in this ceremony many times while at 8th & I with the drill team. There were two types of ceremonies at the Tomb, the Plaza, which is this one  where we were on the Plaza with the monument, and the Mall where we lined the lined the steps leading up to the Tomb. Every time a visiting Head of State visited the President we  performed it at 1500.

Make sure your sound is up. Enjoy!

FOX Again

6 Comments

LOL, in case any of you are experiencing withdraw symptoms from trying to dump FOX after their poor handling of the election and their hiring of more lefty’s who seem to be suffering from stupidity , arrogance, and ego manifestations, I found you some help, A friend of mine runs a blog entitled; “Bunkerville | God, Guns, and Comrades!” Yeah I know, neat title, huh? To quote who they are:  Bunkerville is a safe haven for all to join and speak of the trying times of our Republic.  Comrades, we the people can find in these pages a place to voice opinions on today’s most critical challenges.

I have followed him for quite a while, I enjoy the sprinkling of humor now and then. You might want to check the site out. In fact, click on the following and it will take you to great post made today.

Fox News – How to beat the Fox blues and overcome withdrawal

Personally, I refuse to give up on Tucker, he’s my kind of guy. Hannity is okay, but tends to go overboard and is tad strong for my liking. Compare Tucker with near-do-wells like Wallace, Doocy, the Panda, or Vittert is like comparing  an intellect with a box of hammers. You decide whish is which. LOL

Fair and Balanced Redux

There has been much traffic on the net reference FOX News and their handling of the election night results. One example was their refusal to call my state (FL) but called AZ with way less votes counted. Many stated they were leaving FOX for other cable news networks e.g., Newsmax.  I agree there are some real scumbags on FOX, and they do seem to be moving to the left since the Murdoch sons took over. I mean we’ve always known about the little guy with a like complex, Wallace, and of course the scum sucker, Cavuto

There are; however; some bright spots on FOX, specifically Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham. I used to watch Tucker’s nightly spot, but for some reason when we moved to FL we changed our nightly schedule and I wasn’t able to fit him in and didn’t even think about taping for later. I do see him once and a while on You Tube, but it’s usually days later. Here is one I just watched this morning.

After watching this one it reminded how me how much I miss him and will set it up to tape him to watch the next morning. This folks is a MUST WATCH episode.  It’s a full show, so get a cup of coffee, sit back, turn on your volume, and watch. I don’t know how long the Murdoch boys will put up with Tucker for he sure lays it all out and if you listen closely, he even slams Cavuto for cutting away from the press secretary’s news conference. Sometimes, it’s tough to decide what side of the aisle he is on, but he is damn sure on the side of America and Democracy!

Congress Read and Ask Yourself WHY?

1 Comment

Good afternoon earthlings, I trust you enjoyed your day off yesterday. If you did not have off, shame on your employer, it’s a National Holiday! And for my Marine brothers I trust you enjoyed the day before. We have often been criticized by our brother service members who say 10 November is not our birthday. The say we picked that day because the next day was a holiday and we would have a day to sober up after our Birthday Ball before having to go to work. Hell, I don’t know, maybe their right, but it sure always worked out for me. LOL

Aside, I was wondering what birthday was my first to celebrate as a Marine. Have you ever asked yourself that?  So, did the math, it was the 177th. Ouch!

Now for the purpose of the post. A fellow Marine brother sent this to me and I had seen it before, but thought it had to some great ideas in it, so I decided to post it. However I first vetted it, as I follow Buffet on some economic issues — he is a good economist –and I knew it didn’t sound like the Buffet I knew.

See my comments in RED.

Warren Buffett is asking everyone to forward this email to a minimum of 20 people, and to ask each of those to do likewise. This is not true. Buffet would NEVER do thsi.

The BUFFETT Rule

Let’s see what people pressure is all about.

Salary of retired US Presidents .. . . . .. . . . . .. . $180,000 FOR LIFE. Me thinks this one is okay considering all the BS he has to pout up with for four years. Of course some deserve the BS.

,Salary of House/Senate members .. . . . .. . . . $174,000 FOR LIFE. This is stupid. OMG

Salary of Speaker of the House .. . . . .. . . . . $223,500 FOR LIFE. This is really stupid. Another OMG

Salary of Majority / Minority Leaders . . .. . . . .$193,400 FOR LIFE Stupid. A bigger OMG

Average Salary of a teacher . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. .$40,065 Well? What are teachers qualifications, I believe that should weigh heavily on salary????

Average Salary of a deployed Soldier . . .. . . .. $38,000. Shut up Jim!

Here’s where the cuts should be made!

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:

“I could end the deficit in five minutes,” he told CNBC. “You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.” Yes, he said this, BUT he was simply answering a question from the anchor. He did not recommend it, but said it was that easy to fix the deficit.

The 26th Amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only three months and eight days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 – before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land – all because of public pressure.

Warren Buffett is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2022

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman / woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they’re out of office.

2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. I disagree with the “past” requirement, don;t grandfather it, they made that decision so make them stick with it. With no current and future influx to the fund, it will go broker over time. That’s good.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. No, as I said let them keep their funds and slowly go broke.  All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. Yes, absolutely, why should they not particpate in SS? They keep stealing from it, perhaps that will put an end to that!

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. Just like the rest of us in the federal government.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. Of course, give me one erason why not?

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. Come on folks this is a given, why are they exempt from some things?

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 3/1/22. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.

Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people, then it will only take three days for most people in the U.S. to receive the message. It’s time!

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

 

Now, I shall say it, if you agree, pass it on.

Semper Fi, Jim

PS If you are wondering how I feel reference the election ….. like shit! But I have not given up. Trump should take Hillary the snake’s advice and not concede. I think you can bet he won’t!
