Lawyers

If you are a lawyer and reading this, I hope you can agree with what this brave one has to say. He is right on the money. I know not who the author is, but he nailed it. Read it carefully and absorb the full impact of what he is saying. Sure, as many Americans, I am sometimes scornful of lawyers. However, I never looked at them like he does and how they are impacting the sorry state of affairs in our once great nation., I believe the worst thing that ever happened concerning them was when they were finally authorized to advertise vice hanging out a shingle. Here in SW Florida, where the population is somewhat aged, every commercial TV break will have at least one, sometimes as many as three ads  touting such ludicrous statements as, “If you’ve been injured in an automobile accident , it does not matter who was a fault, you deserve compensation. Do not jump to settle with the insurance companies.” I consider it absolutely criminal  to make statements like that.

Anyway, this is a great article and well written and explains why we are at such odds with one another in today’s society. Surely the names he mentions will ring bells in your head. I wish I knew who wrote it. Enjoy.

As an attorney, I hesitated to forward this as it can be an indictment against my profession.  But I believe there is much truth to the article below.  Very thought-provoking.  Lawyers are adversarial and are trained to try to win at all costs.  It may work in litigation but does not work well when governing our nation.  Trying to win at any costs creates the polarization and hatred that now fills our country and leaves no room for common sense or legitimate debate

Every Democrat presidential nominee since 1984 went to law school, although Gore did not graduate.  Joe Biden (no surprise) was at the bottom of his class.  Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.  Barack Obama was a lawyer.  Michelle Obama was a lawyer.  Hillary Clinton was a lawyer.  Bill Clinton was a lawyer.  John Edwards is a lawyer.  Elizabeth Edwards was a lawyer.  Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress: Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer is a lawyer.  Former Senator Harry Reid was a lawyer.

 The Republican Party is different.  President Trump was a businessman.  Presidents Bush 1 and 2 were businessmen.  Vice President Cheney was a businessman.  President Eisenhower was a 5 star General.  The leaders of the Republican Revolution: Newt Gingrich was a history professor.  Tom Delay was an exterminator.  Dick Armey was an economist.  Ex-House Minority Leader John Boehner was a plastics manufacturer.  The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.  Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer?  Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, ran against actor Ronald Reagan in 1976.  The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers.  This is very interesting. I had never thought about it this way before.

 The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers.  Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Trump, Bush, and Cheney, or who heal the sick like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history like Gingrich.  The Lawyers Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America.  And so, in the eyes of the Lawyers Party, we have seen the procession of official enemies grow.  Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail?  Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value in our nation.

 This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers.  Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their clients, which, in this case should be the American people.  Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their side.  Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine.  But it is an awful way to govern a great nation.

 When politicians, as lawyers, begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming.  Some Americans become adverse parties of our very government.  We are not all litigants in some vast social class-action suit.  We are citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers.

 Today, we are drowning in laws.  We are contorted by judicial decisions.  We are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once-private lives.  America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast, and unchecked.  When the most important decision for our next president is whom, he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers and the law in America is too big.  When House Democrats sue America to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing.

 Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society and business.  Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work.  Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse.

 The United States has 5% of the world’s population and 66% of the world’s lawyers!  Tort or legal reform legislation has been introduced in Congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you and to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits.  This legislation has been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party.  When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association go to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high!

Shame On Minnesota

2 Comments

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Greg, but this one was well worth the wait. What a sad state of affairs. This country has stooped so low that I can believe how immoral we have become.  If I lived in MN I would get the hell out of that state so my taxes did not pay for such travesties. Think about this for a second if you will.. Some sleaze bag of a  woman, yes I said “woman,” decides at the last minute that she does not want to raise a boy. She wants a girl, so she has it killed. Or suppose she breaks up with her boyfriend (the father) and doesn’t want the baby anymore. Easy, just go to an abortion mill and have it removed and tossed in the trash. That. my friends , is the state of our society. God help us for we know not what we do.

Another Glass Ceiling  Shattered                                                                             By: Greg Maresca

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade with their 2022 Dobbs decision and gave the States’ the power to determine their abortion laws, Minnesota wasted no time in enshrining abortion up until birth in their constitution.  Moreover, Minnesota is one of 17 states where tax dollars fund nearly half of their abortions.

This made Minnesota, a haven for abortion providers, a seamless venue for the first ever visit by a sitting vice president to tour an abortion mill.  Planned Parenthood in St. Paul hosted Vice President Kamala Harris in what the mainstream media celebrated as another “historic first” for Harris and the nation.

Is there no road too low when celebrating firsts – an abortion mill? Harris goes to where the slaughtering of innocent lambs occurs, and we highlight this as some heroic act worthy of a “first.”

Harris’ “national tour” is about touting the Biden administration’s commitment to abortion in the upcoming November election.  The Biden-Harris re-election campaign is advocating that abortion be codified into federal law by Congress.  Democrats want to normalize abortion as if it is just another procedure as if you were having your teeth cleaned.

Harris was direct in berating pro-lifers everywhere wailing, “How dare these elected leaders believe they are in a better position to tell women what they need, to tell women what is in their best interest.  In this environment, these attacks against an individual’s right to make decisions about their own body are outrageous and, in many instances, just plain old immoral.”

Here is a Black woman who supports the killing of the most innocent among us preaching on what is immoral.  As Don King would say, “Only in America.” Perhaps Harris is unaware that Margaret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood to rid the country of Black folks.

Planned Parenthood stands in direct contrast to the compassionate support found at the many unheralded pregnancy resource centers that help not only during a mother’s pregnancy but after their child is born.

Harris claimed that “right now in our country we are facing a very serious health crisis” that is “affecting many, many people in our country, most of whom are frankly silently suffering.”

Abortion has nothing to do with healthcare or any other zeitgeist euphemism the left uses to put a baby to death.  Harris wouldn’t dare say “women” are facing a serious health crisis because in her world, men can also become pregnant.

Calling abortion “health care” but certainly not for a baby only underscores Harris’s ignorance. Babies are not diseases. They are separate human beings who possess a soul and a God-given right to be born.

Harris shows up at the border of the womb, where 65,000,000 were denied entry into America thanks to abortion. Harris has the time to go to an abortion mill, but not our overrun Southern border.

Infanticide energizes Democrats. Abortion is the only issue the Democrats campaign on because all their other policies are a total disaster as they desperately want to retain the reins of power.

Every abortion targets the most vulnerable and innocent among us resulting in death. An extreme abortion procedure is a classic oxymoron. To possess such a variety of methods to kill someone is indeed the work of a sick society driven by evil.  To call abortion medical science denies the very nature of what it is to be a physician.

Most abortions are the last vestige of birth control and not because the mother’s life is in danger. Democrats have succeeded into turning “reproductive health” and “abortion” into synonyms.

Reproducing adds life, abortion brings death.

Bishop Michael Burbidge of Arlington, Virginia and the Pro-Life Chair of the United States Council of Catholic Bishops wrote: “I am distressed to learn that the vice president is visiting an abortion clinic when there are so many agencies and organizations who are at the service of life that she could visit.”

I am sure the bishop’s courageous communique inspired many to action.

I have read stronger statements on a pack of cigarettes.

Best of all, your ballot for the Biden/Harris ticket in November keeps Harris a heartbeat away from yet another first.

In woke America, we have the first of everything and the best of nothing.

Yes, there have been so many “firsts” from the Biden horde of incompetents that I’ve lost count, and really don’t want to remember anything about them because none of them were good for America.  The entire regime can rest in hell as far as I am concerned, and I am praying that will happen in November. What say you?

My Pack is Heavy

Video 13 Comments

Below is a  video a Marine Brother, Don Wolf, with whom I had the distinction to serve sent to me a while back. It has been in my computer ever since and I cannot tell you how many times I have clicked on it and watched. And each time I have great difficulty keeping my eyes clear enough to watch it.

I finally decided that I would take the time and post it. I have a problem though and that’s while I watch it, I think of all the slimy, gutless, pitiful millennials, spineless Gen Zers, and  wokeness, liberal, pronoun , transgender, and climate purveying bastards who have destroyed this once great nation. All I can find in my heart of hearts to say to those pieces of shit is — until you have worn the boots shut your damn mouth. And if you have worn the boots, yet have become one of those pieces of shit I just spoke of, you have sold your soul and I hope you rot in hell.

I am so sick  of hearing of the crime, broken justice system, abuse of power, stupid laws being passed to satisfied those ignorant shit heads.  Who the hell do those liberals in Colorado think they are that they have the right to decide who is or isn’t on a ballot for a national election.. And for all you sickly Californian’s, all I have to say is, maybe we should have a referendum on this year’s ballot with a  yes or no vote to give that shit state in which you hide back to Mexico. You don’t deserve to be one of the 50, and neither do you CO. I am a firm believer in State’s Rights, but you two abuse that privilege everyday. If you don’t want to be one of the 50, get out!

The biggest POS  of all who lives in our WH and all those pieces of garbage he has assigned to key cabinet positions because they were queer, transgender, lacked morals and principles, or the color of their skin is unbelievable, Your VP screwed her way to where she is and your press secretary is a disgrace to your office. I actually think she just might be dumber than you. We all know who is running this country; he’s into his third term. I wonder who he will find to get him his fourth? But then the libs are so stupid they just might try and elect that imbecile for his second term.

I’m tired of all this, and while I do not want to wish a few months of what life I have left, I cannot wait for November. Enjoy the video, make it full screen, and tell me  how many times you watch it brothers? Come on now be honest.

God, please help us, PLEASE!!!!

USAA

24 Comments

Well, it will happen this week as soon as they deposit my senior discount into my checking account at NFCU. What is it that will happen you asked? I will un-ass USAA after having been a customer since February 1974 (50 years for you non-math guys – LOL). It all started about a year or so ago when I had fraud on my USAA credit card. When speaking to a very nice woman (always), who was going to issue me a new card. I  was complaining about having to call all the companies that hit that card for recurring payments e.g., utilities, and she recommended I get another card and use it just for those recurring companies, but don’t carry that card with me. What a GREAT idea. She transferred me to another very nice woman (always). I  gave her all the information, and she sent it to the underwriting dept for approval. She came back on several minutes later and told me it was disapproved. Can you imagine the shock? She said they turned me down due to a credit report. I asked for a copy of it and the ONLY thing on the report was that I had three inquiries in the past two years. I refinanced my house three times to get to a 1.75% 30 yr fixed rate VA Loan. The bottomline statement said “There are no derogatory items on this report.” And by the way, my credit score on that report was 831. I wrote Mr. Peacock (President) who always boasts about loyalty. and told him where his loyalty really lies. A snooty woman (no longer nice) called a week later and tried to explain to me that the underwriters had to follow set policy. I asked who sets those policies and she tried to tell me it was the insurance industry. Bullshit, USAA sets the policy. I am a damn  Economist by education and hobby. I finally hung up on the bitch. Anyway, that was the beginning of the end for me and USAA.

Then they had the audacity to add something to my auto insurance policy this year without asking me. Something about “Car Replacement Assistance,” and Rental Car option. I called and talked to a very nice woman (as always, except for Mr. Peacock’s bitch) who said they added that thinking I might want it and that I may have forgotten to add renal car to my policy. I have a separate RV towing policy with another company that also covers rental car.  She removed them from the policy.

A month or so later  called and heard “Welcome to USAA, Press one for English or stay on the line.” Now, if I were in charge of a company who caters to military only like USAA, It would be “Welcome to USAA,” then in Spanish someone would say “Press one for Spanish.” Moot point you say? No it isn’t. I spent 36 years of my youthful life serving and bleeding for this country, and I refuse to deal with any company who asks me to press one for English. This is America and our damn language is ENGLISH! If you are Spanish and that upsets you, tough shit, learn English or get out.

There were other incidents that have caused me to un-ass USAA. But I decided I was going to look for another auto insurer because USAA has gotten way too expensive for my wallet. My policy is to expire on March 25th, and they raised my premium another 5% this coming year which will require me to pay a whooping $2,619.87 for a six month  policy.  Want to hear something funny?  They have the gull to tell me that they have given me $4,661.65 in discounts because of my bride and me being such safe drivers, etc. OK,  so had they not been so kind to give me that discount, my six month policy would have been $7,271.52 or 14,563.04/year. LOL Can you believe that? I can’t. I know I live in FL where no one knows how to drive, no one but me drives the speed limit, because here everyone believes a speed limit means you have to drive at least that fast. I believed all these years that I have lived here that everyone was paying these sort of premiums. Surprise! I did my due diligence and comparing apples to apples have found two reputable companies i.e., Progressive and Traveller’s  who will give me the exact six month policy I have with USAA for $1,687  (-35.6%) and $1,515 (-42.2%) respectively. And I am not done checking other companies since I have till March 25th to decide. Oh, and my cars are not expensive new cars. Nancy’s is a 2015 Lexus RX350 and Mine is a 2022 Mini Cooper

You may be asking what were my bonuses this year. The standard was $77.27 and my Senior bonus this week will be $262.02 for a total of $339.49. But that doesn’t even come close to reducing the upcoming policy to what I can get elsewhere.

So, my advice to all my military brethren, I suggest you do some due diligence on your own. Having spoken to Marine brothers of my vintage I am amazed at the huge number who said, “Hell. I dumped USAA years ago.”

I can’t wait to make this phone call and ask to speak to a Supervisor because the women who answer are always so nice and I do not want to shoot the messenger. Speaking to supervisor might have more of an impact on Mr. Peacock, but I have doubts, he’s a jerk as well. How much will USAA pay for ads on the Super Bowl tonight?

Comments sincerely welcome

With all the artificial intelligence BS flying around today, you can’t believe anything anyone is saying or showing you.  We have really gotten ourselves into a pickle. Something has to be done about it, and I don’t have a damn clue. That shit is far above my pay grade. I have trouble with real intelligence, let alone the artificial stuff. That has much to do as to why I have not posted much lately. You can’t believe anything anymore, and I don’t have the time to vet everything. But, having said that, I did some research on this fellow and I believe everything he writes.  Something has to be done about all these Muslim. All I will say is keep your goats locked up, as they will rule the world someday!

More concerning Aaron I found:  Aaron Menche, at The Blogs (timesofisrael.com)

I am sitting in my office here in Israel, 9 days after the barbaric attack on Jewish communities in the south. I am writing to you so that you can share our story. I watch international news and am appalled by what I see. I watch the anti-Israel protests and am sickened. I see the silence of most of corporate America and the grotesque support on college campuses. I see the silence of some of my friends and family.

First, let me tell you what has happened. I am not sure that you understand the full extent of this horror. We do not parade our dead for propaganda purposes as our enemy does. We respect those who have been slaughtered and their families. The next few lines may be hard to read, and I would understand if you were not able to:

Entire families were slaughtered in their homes—men, women, children, infants, and the elderly. Israel has now found copies of the Hamas orders to their men, and this is what was planned.
Children under the age of 10 had their hands tied behind their back and were shot in the head in front of their parents.
Infants were beheaded.
Whole families were dismembered, their bodies strewn in the street.
Women were raped next to the bodies of their dead friends.
A 90-year-old woman who survived the Holocaust was tied up and shot in the head. Her killers then uploaded the murder to her Facebook account so her family could see.
Those who managed to go to their safe rooms were burned alive.
I could go on, but I won’t. It is too hard to think about, let alone write. 1200 innocent people annihilated with a barbarity not seen in modern times.

Yet when I turn on the news, the majority has shifted to the plight of the Palestinians. Not Hamas, but those stuck in Gaza that Hamas is hiding behind. Trust me when I say no one here relishes the idea of the murder of civilians. Unlike the Palestinians’ reaction, none of us will be dancing in the street and giving out candy. In fact, the Israeli army has not started a ground invasion precisely because they are trying to save as many Palestinian civilians as possible. Even if you do not have a military background, you can understand that every hour that goes by gives Hamas more time to dig in and will cause the death of more Israeli soldiers. Israel has not invaded Gaza fully, even though they knew Hamas was getting stronger, to avoid civilian casualties. Yet Hamas is telling people not to leave. They are saying that it is a Zionist trick to get them to leave their land, like in 1948. Their real purpose is to show the world the barbarity of the Jews when civilians die. This was the plan from the beginning. This is always the plan with Hamas.

A few facts: Gaza is not occupied territory. Israel moved every troop and settlement out of there in 2005. In 2007, Hamas was elected to run Gaza by the Gazan people. They did this knowing that the Hamas charter calls for the elimination of Israel and all the Jews (for some reason the latter is never mentioned). Some will say that Gaza was in effect occupied because of the strict blockade that Israel imposed. The fact is the blockade was attempted by Israel and Egypt, never Israel alone, another thing never mentioned. It was clearly not effective. If it was, would Hamas have been able to secure all the weapons they have? Would they have been able to build miles and miles of underground tunnels? They could have used this cement to build schools, hospitals, or bomb shelters. Was this done? Some say that they needed to protect themselves. From who? Israel had no intention to reconquer the Gaza Strip. When Israel left, the Palestinians were given a choice. They could build a free society, schools, hospitals, etc., or they could prepare kill Jews to free Palestine because, for them, Palestine is not what is outlined in a two-state solution, Palestine is Israel.

Israel has been accused many times of dealing a heavy hand to the Palestinians by imposing a cruel and inhumane occupation. We have been called Nazis. We have been accused of genocide, apartheid, and war crimes. In fact, the UN Human Rights Commission has only one standing agenda item for a specific country, and that is Israel. Israel is the most inhumane country in the world.

I was once asked by someone why the Jews need their own country; why can’t it be for everyone? I asked him if he knew his grandparents. He replied that he did. I told him I never met mine; they were thrown in an oven. The Palestinians have done everything they can to take Jewish national trauma and turn it on its head, but I have never heard of Israeli death camps. I have never heard of the murder of millions of Palestinians. On the contrary, the Palestinian population has grown faster than almost any on earth. If this is what Israeli genocide looks like, we obviously are not good at it.

Yes, the Israeli occupation has been harsh, but unlike the rest of the world, we knew what we were dealing with. In 1929, 1936, and 1948, the Palestinians raped, murdered, beheaded, and mutilated Jews. We knew if given the chance, they would do it again. So after Israeli independence, we made sure it couldn’t. We lost part of our humanity to stay alive. The Palestinians have been offered peace on seven occasions, and they have turned it down each time. The last time was in 2008; they were offered more than 95% of the territory taken in 1967 and a capital in East Jerusalem. This was rejected because Israel would not give in on two points. One was the right of return. This calls for all Palestinian refugees to be able to return to their ancestral homeland. Unlike any other refugee group in the world, only Palestinians have generational refugees, sometimes up to the 5th generation. This means that there are currently over 5 million Palestinian refugees when only 700,000 left in 1948. If granted the right of return, Israel would cease to be a Jewish state. Even knowing this, Israel offered, as a symbolic gesture, to have 100,000 Palestinians return.
The second issue is Jerusalem. Sharing Jerusalem was not enough they wanted all of it including west Jerusalem which is entirely Jewish. A few quick facts:

Jerusalem is never mentioned in the Koran.
Jews have been praying to return to Jerusalem for over 2000 years.
The Koran recognizes that Israel was given to the Jews.
For the Jews, Jerusalem and specifically the Temple Mount are the holiest places on earth. When Israel conquered these areas in 1967, what did they do? Did they bar Muslim prayer? Did they build a third temple? No, They prevented Jews from praying there and gave the authority of the Temple Mount to the Muslim Waqf.

What we in Israel know is that the Palestinians will never accept anything less than our destruction. They have said so, poll after poll confirms this. Not a poll of Hamas members, a poll of Palestinians..

I am asking everyone I know to try to help. If you know people who are cheering our raped and dismembered, I hope you can now explain to them why this is not the same as occupation. The idea that anyone would support these heinous crimes is unfathomable, and yet we see this happening all over the world. Join rallies in support of Israel. In the coming months, we will need all the support we can get. Let your customers, clients, and suppliers know. This is not the time to hold back. When the photos of dead civilians from Gaza and Lebanon (yes, I think that will start soon) start pouring over the media, the pressure on Israel to stop will be relentless. Remind people that Palestinian resistance is only accomplished when every Jew in Israel is dead, and the days of us going like sheep to the slaughter are gone.

This time, Israel will not stop under international pressure. We will continue until Hamas is destroyed because the alternative is that we will be destroyed. We are being given the choice between our children or theirs. A choice that they have thrust upon us. A choice that no one will rejoice in, but we know what we must choose.

If anyone would like to discuss this further (as long as you can civilly) or would like any proof of some of the things I am saying, please let me know. If you think that you know some people who may not truly understand what is going on here, please feel free to share this, and if you feel that you just want to delete this email and move on, I understand. You think it is not your fight. I hope you are smarter and understand that ultimately it will be.
