For those of us who were there, this is OUR DAY! Enjoy it as best you can, but remember those who cannot. Even to this day, I stand by what I say in Chapter #28, The Silent Majority, of the book, kiss my ass!
Welcome Home Brothers and Sisters of all branches; WELCOME HOME!

Well, sort of. It really is a break from the normal news of the day or should I say the no news of the day because we only hear, as Greg says “if the story fits — their agenda.” Anyway, I love stories with happy endings. Try this one on for size. This story is about a millennial who gets her comeuppance. Enjoy and have a great Sunday.
Of course we all know this was staged, but it sure is true with the young ones today and what they expect. LOL

It’s been a long time since I posted anything, and I feel bad about that. There is so much going on in the world today that it’s hard to remain attuned, which I try not to. I am too old to worry about certain things anymore, and you sure can’t rely on anything coming from the mouths of the MSM. And life has been quite busy here at the CP.
Before I post my message, let me wish all my friends a very Happy 4th of July. We, of all people, know what this day means other than a day off from work. Enjoy tomorrow, and please remember its significance.
Now for the post. All the hype going on with immigration and the rounding up of the thugs and scum that crossed the river illegally has produced some unintended consequences. And I hope none of my readers are guilty of what I intend to describe. We must remember that millions of people came to our shores legally and went about the arduous task of becoming US citizens.
I received an email, as I always do every weekday, from my good friend and roomie aboard the USS Chicago, Doug Horan. He subscribes to the WSJ, which I do not, so he sends me articles that he believes would be of interest to me. Most deal with stocks, as we are both avid stock traders, and we share investment ideas. However, this one was an op-ed by an immigrant and should be read by all Americans, as it presents an opinion from someone with whom I am going to speak. Please stop and read it at:

We have two women who come and clean the house every other week, and they do a fantastic job. Nancy hired them several years ago. Recently, Nancy got into a discussion with the older one, and it proved to be a real eye-opener to both of us. She came to America about eleven years ago on a work VISA. After several years, she started the lengthy process of applying for citizenship and was finally successful. She flies back to Mexico periodically to visit her parents. She had to go back recently due to her dad’s passing, and it was upon her return that Nancy and she spoke about the trip back home and life in the US.
She related some of the horrific experiences she is having now with all the hype about illegal immigration. She recounted one incident as she was driving out of our driveway and a pickup truck drove passed and the driver yelled, “Go back where you came from Spick!” This woman says she has never taken on a penny from our government, no food stamps, welfare assistance, or anything that was available during her early years when she was scrambling to make her way in this new country, working several jobs to simply survive. She learned the language, married, had children who speak English, and is so thankful that they have been able to get a good education.
Yet she now experiences prejudice daily everywhere she goes, as do her children. So much so that she intends to work a few more years and will move back to Mexico. Her oldest son has already moved back, even though a US citizen; he couldn’t handle the prejudice anymore.
My point in all this is simple. The immigration hype has created a world where anyone who looks like they may be from another country is being categorized as an “illegal” and chastised and slandered when, in fact, they are a hard-working US citizen contributing to our society and economy.
We need to be careful of whom we place in that category of “illegal.” They haven’t all come wading across the river. We have become very close to her and consider her a good friend and fellow countrywoman. She would never join a demonstration against what is going on today in the immigration arena; she hates what she sees on TV. She condemns those who came here illegally and are soaking up everything they can from the government.
She is an American, period. End of discussion!
Trust me, you will love this short clip! A liberal couple get their justice, but not what they expected or wanted. I wish I knew what airline this was; I’d like to send them a congratulatory email and might consider flying with them every time I must fly! Everything is all about them. I LOVE IT!!!
Wasn’t that great? I just love that the young man simply sits there calmly while this woman runs her mouth. Her meek, whimpy husband sits there while she rants, then he tries to make amends.
LOL Damn, don’t you just LOVE IT?

Good Day Followers, I hope this post finds you well, safe, and enjoying life as best we can during these very troubling times within the world we live. I am so sick about hearing about BLM, I want to puke. It seems everyday there are more and more indictments coming out concerning the so-called leaders of this organization. Finally, there seems to be a significand rise in Black people realizing just what this organization is really all about. Lord, I hope hope so.
From The “Patriot Post” MARCH 3, 2022
Black lives matter, and that’s why the organization that coopted that phrase as its name deserves utter condemnation for being little more than a bunch of Marxist grifters.
Consider Patrisse Cullors, the self-described “queer” and “abolitionist” (as in abolishing the police) cofounder of Black Lives Matter (BLM). If you doubt that she’s a Marxist, don’t just take our word for it; take hers: “We are trained Marxists,” she said. But she’s also a wildly successful capitalist because she managed to peddle her divisive tripe all the way to the bank, raking in millions of dollars and buying multiple mansions before “retiring” from BLM last year at age 37.
She must be content to sip chardonnay in the quiet spread of one of her four homes, chuckling at all the dupes who funded her lavish lifestyle, right? Wrong. Her recent interview with The Guardian begins this way:
“You’re gonna make me cry,” Patrisse Cullors warns when I ask how she feels about being criticized by other Black people. Then [she] turns away from the webcam and starts to sob, hand to her mouth. “I’m crying because I was prepared for rightwing attacks. I wasn’t prepared for Black people to attack me. And I think that’s probably the hardest thing in this position, to lose your own people. The people that you love the most, the people that you do this work for. The human being feels betrayed, the leader feels like: ‘Yeah, welcome to Black leadership. This is the f**king hazing.’”
She talks about having been to therapy, which she claims is “difficult because we don’t live in a world that cares for black people’s vulnerability.” What is she talking about? In the years since she and two others began BLM, she raised perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars ($90 million in 2020 alone), often from decent Americans who simply thought their gifts meant they were showing that they care for black people. Yet here’s Cullors, vengefully biting the hand that fed her, while admitting that she daily contends with “a lot of resentment.” Resentment for what? That she didn’t raise a billion dollars?
No, that she’s being “treated as the fall guy” for all of BLM’s missing money.
Speaking of Black Liars’ Millions, we recently noted that roughly $60 million of BLM’s graft was unaccounted for. Well, it seems that’s an underestimate. Thanks to BLM’s diversified network of fundraising arms, millions more dollars have mysteriously become what Democrats love to deride as “dark money,” vanishing to who knows where.
Whether or not Cullors used BLM money to fund her real estate or anything else, she certainly cashed in on the racial resentment and division BLM fomented. “I’m also a published author, writer, producer, professor, public speaker and performance artist,” she has said previously. “I work hard to provide for my family.” Indeed.
So why did BLM fail at financial transparency? “I think it’s because black people in general have a hard time with money,” Cullors said. “It’s a trigger point for us.”
Just imagine a white person saying that.
Her hatred of the police comes from her circumstances growing up. Forget the war on drugs, she says; let’s focus on the “war on gangs.” She describes growing up in 1990s LA where “essentially the federal government [was] declaring a war on brown and Black children and calling them domestic terrorists.” She claims it was “a literal war zone.” Going to school in a neighboring white community, however, is what fed her resentment and envy.
Her comments are actually quite enlightening about leftism generally and Marxism in particular. That philosophy and ideology is built almost entirely on envy. A Marxist thinks, Someone else has something I don’t, so I’m either going to take it or at least make sure they can’t have it or pay dearly for it. That’s obviously oversimplified, and it’s not to reject the reality that sometimes life isn’t fair. Sometimes it doesn’t seem right that one group has it so good when another group doesn’t.
But envy is a foundational idea behind Marxism, and building ideology on top of sinful desire is a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately, Marxism is increasingly the ideology undergirding American leftism and the Democrat Party.
Monica Cannon-Grant and her husband are charged with three separate schemes: defrauding donors, illegally collecting about $100,000 in pandemic unemployment benefits, and lying on a mortgage application.
A prominent Black Lives Matter leader in Boston was arrested Tuesday, and she and her husband were charged in an 18-count federal indictment.
1-year-old Monica Cannon-Grant and her 38-year-old husband, Clark, were charged in connection with three separate schemes outlined in the indictment: defrauding donors, lying on a mortgage application, and illegally collecting an estimated $100,000 in pandemic unemployment benefits, Boston Globe reported
The pair allegedly raised more than $1 million in donations and grants for those in need, but used a substantial amount on themselves for expenses like rent on their Boston apartment, and buying a car for a relative.
