I find myself slowly becoming more and more ambivalent about being an American.  It seems everywhere I look, everywhere I listen and everywhere I go, someone or some group is attempting to get my attention.  They want my attention so they can attempt to influence me into believing their propaganda.  Why?  Propaganda pays, ambivalence doesn’t.  If I am ambivalent about a matter or issue, I cannot be counted on to support the other’s propaganda.  And these attention junkies need yours and my support to raise money  and multiply.  Sadly, as with most things: “It’s all about the money, not the issue”.  So in my opinion, we need more ambivalence.  The more ambivalence the smaller the paycheck becomes for these blood sucking special interest groups.

If you are like me, you no doubt have encountered a COP.  COP’s are different than Police in my opinion.  COPS give police a bad name.  Cops are police with ego.  Cops enjoy flexing their ability to harass citizens with total impunity.  Rather than “protecting and serving” the citizenry, COPS harass and abuse the citizenry.  COPS are petty.  COPS are the police that patrol dark intersections… not for crime, but for petty and meaningless traffic violations or parking infractions or skateboarding on the sidewalk.  Basically I would have to say COPS were those kids in grade school that got wedgies or swirlies.  NOW that they are allegedly adults, it’s payback time.  COPS can be your worst nightmare.  COPS can find a way to turn something silly like jaywalking into crime.  Oh sure there are laws against jaywalking, and sure we need laws to remain civilized, we don’t need COPS.  COPS are a nuisance and a waste of tax dollars.  COPS are nothing more than revenue agents because at their core COPS measure their success based on fines rather than crime.  Crime doesn’t pay, parking tickets do!  Think about it: “Which generates more revenue a murder or a parking ticket?  PARKING TICKET!  Murder costs money, lots of money.  Therefore given government’s insatiable need for revenue, sadly COPS will grow in numbers over time, and police will decline.  Why?  Because COPS generate new money, police cost money.  Crime doesn’t pay… literally.  So in closing, I suggest police be respected as they are the only thing between us and genuine criminals. COPS deserve no respect rather disdain, as they contort ordinary citizens into criminals.  COPS are good for nothing, absolutely nothing.

I care about LGBT people… but only to the extent they are humans.  I care about all humans, but I could care less whether people identify with being a LGBT or not.  At less than 4% of the population, LGBT’s should stop yelling and parading and get on with their lives.  No one cares particularly me  (see website http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/07/15/what-percentage-of-the-u-s-population-is-gay-lesbian-or-bisexual/)  And you thought 25% of the population was gay!!! Yes… a survey of Americans discovered that a typical American actually believes that 25% of the population is gay.

The title is misleading and is misleading purposefully. Today 4/7/14 Israel invaded Gaza seeking out Hamas soldiers with the goal of eliminating Hamas soldiers and their military hardware. And every liberal or uninformed person reading this naturally presumes my title suggests and my opinion is that Israel is acting in a manner contrary to world view of the situation. And this presumption would be correct, but in my opinion this view is horribly wrong and dangerous for the world. Israel is acting precisely in a manner that any sovereign nation would act given the situation on the ground in Gaza. And rather than sympathizing with those killed in this war and blaming Israel, the flip opposite should be occurring. The families of those killed should condemn the true perpetrators of death and rise up against the true cause of their misery… that being Hamas. Hamas is a cowardess terrorist group that hides behind women and children for the sheer purpose of causing their death so as to portray Israel as barbarians. This being said the world media is lapping up this propaganda like a dog lost in the desert. Death is part of war, and at some point in any conflict collateral damage will occur. One cannot fault an opponent for killing innocent people when despite their best efforts to avoid collateral damage their opponent immerses themselves in the midst of their own civilians thus causing the deaths of innocent men, women and children. Sadly, if in war your opponent decides to use a strategy of hiding behind their own citizenry, one must blame those individuals for the deaths of the innocent. It is not reasonable to paint an opponent as a barbarian if they kill civilians if one side decides strategically to intersperse themselves among their own families and loved ones. Instead, the civilians should find ways to sabotage these cowards thus creating the potential that a victor occurs. In all my years I recall countless fracases between Israel and Palestine. Regardless of the events that have led to today’s geographic layout of the area in Gaza and the surrounding area, peace will never be possible unless a victor does not arise from the seemingly ongoing war between the Israelis and Palestine’s Hamas terrorists. And the best possible outcome for the world is for an Israeli victory. Israel is… in my opinion, justified in going into Gaza and any surrounding areas harboring Hamas and with overwhelming force obliterate Hamas and any person supporting Hamas. And if innocent people are killed, Hamas should be held responsible. Israel has allowed Hamas to rain down barrage after barrage of missiles into their Country and have not matched these bombings with equal force. So I say all Americans should support Israel’s move into Gaza and the complete annihilation of Hamas and their supporters. Americans would never put up with constant anarchy of bombs being lobbed into our Country indiscriminately without responding with overwhelming force, therefore we cannot condemn Israel if they choose to annihilate Hamas, rather American’s should be encouragingIsrael as Hamas is nothing more than an extension of the same terrorist group that bombed our Trade Center on 9/1.

Presume for a  moment that Bush and Clinton get the nominations.  So that would shape up to be exactly like 92 candidates.  In ’92 Perot cost Bush the Presidency a second term as he got 19% of the votes which is incredible.  Is Trump the modern day Perot?  Trump and Perot are worth Billions respectively.  Both have qualities that Conservatives like economically and politically in terms of reducing lobbyists ability to buy Congress.  Anyway, while Trump says he won’t run as an independent 3rd party candidate, I would not rule it out.  Look at Perot’s success as a 3rd party… and if Trump is really Perot spelled differently Bush should worry.  This would be history repeated in some odd sense.  Of course look at Jimmy Carter.  Obama reminds me of Carter.  Some have said Obama has a similar economic record i.e. lousy no growth.  So history does repeat itself if you assume the premise.  Will Trump be the spoiler?

No commentary need be added:

“We have to pass the (health care) bill so you can find out what is in it.”

“Nancy Pelosi, speech to National Association of Counties, March 9. 2010 – Speaker of the House and third in line to be President in the event Obama were removed from office.  This statement is pure 100% dumbness.  And you ask yourself how do these people of such little intellect get elected?  Can’t we do better.

“When we start talking about the debt, the first thing people do is run to Social Security. Social Security is a program that works and it’s going to be fully funded for the next 40 years…No, it’s not a crisis. This is something that’s perpetuated by people who don’t like government. Social Security’s fine.”

Harry Reid on the Senate floor discussing Republican efforts to block increase in debt ceiling.  If the man has ever read the Social Security Annual Report, he would know that Social Security has an IOU from the Treasury to be paid out over the next 75 years for 90+ trillion or 43 trillion present value.  These monies owed Social Security and Medicare are affectionately called “unfunded liabilities”.  Please!!!  It is debt so stop lying about the actual term.  Oh sure from an accounting standpoint it is a liability that the Treasury owes, not a debt the public owes as in the 17 trillion we now have thanks to so-called President Obama.  Of course, the difference between debt and unfunded liabilities is only important to those who hope to someday get Social Security.  And after all isn’t the Treasury pretty much we citizens who pay taxes?  If not the citizens who else?  So you see unfunded, funded, wasted, or printed, all mean the same thing… it’s money we don’t have and have no real idea how to find it from our citizens.    Put that aside for now, the actual debt of this Country at this very moment… if we were to have to cough up every dollar of debt we would have: (43 trillion unfunded Social Security) + (17 trillion general obligation debt) for a total of $60,000,000,000,000,000.  That works out to $190,470 per every man. woman and child currently residing and being a citizen of the United States.  Notice I say “citizen of the United States”… illegals would not be on this list of debtors.  While my stats are factual admittedly they are far-fetched as this Country simply could not now or nor ever pay this amount given the current anemic GDP growth rate of 2% or less under Obama.  Fast forward 20 years when some of these bills come due in a landslide as baby boomers peak out retirement, I would ask you to give me a single plausible rationale as to how we deal with this debt.  Grandma’s Social Security check depends on us coming up with the money.  Borrow the money you say… from who?  And at what interest rate?  And for how long?  A single cell amoeba could figure out the United States is headed towards bankruptcy or worse anarchy… and Obama, while not solely responsible, is the accelerant or gasoline that poured 7 trillion onto the debt fire, and then you have hare-brained Harry Reid making statements like above.  Total political hackery.  He can’t be this dumb, I am a mere mortal citizen and have just read documents readily available from the government and figured out we are mortally fucked in 20 years or less.  How come this guy with access to every piece of information the government owns, doesn’t know what I know.  Well it’s because he is dumber than Nancy Pelosi.

Reid talking about Obamacare on Senate floor Feb 2014

“Despite all that good news, there’s plenty of horror stories being told. All of them are untrue, but they’re being told all over America,” said Reid.

Another gem by hare-brained Harry.  The guy is so dumb he didn’t even hedge his statement by saying something like: “Many of the claims are untrue”. No not Harry, true to his dumbbell out of touch career politician roots, he goes all in and says:  “All of them are untrue”  Few things in life are perfectly true or untrue, but Harry knows something the rest of us don’t know.  There are indeed things that are 100% untrue… there’s no room whatsoever for the possibility just maybe a single person experienced a catastrophic medical emergency at the same time they lost their insurance.  NOPE… I consider this statement by Reid a notch higher on the dumbbell scale.

And finally the dumbest statement that has been repeated more often than “President Bush left me the worst recession since the Great Depression”…. tada:

“ I know that there are millions of Americans who are content with their health care coverage – they like their plan and they value their relationship with their doctor. And that means that no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. My view is that health care reform should be guided by a simple principle: “fix what’s broken and build on what works”.”

This is the most brazen, factually incorrect, and knowingly dumbest,  yet most significant and impactful statement made by a President in the past 50 years.  This was the exact verbiage of a speech to the AMA in May 2011 in Chicago Illinois.

UPDATE 2016:  Pelosi is no longer in line to be President.  Her dumb statements finally caught up with  her and she was tossed out of the majority in the House.  Scary Harry Reid looking like he is knocking on deaths door is finally… yes finally retiring.  He like Pelosi were traded in for smarter dumbells known as Republicans.  And the biggest dumbbell is Obama.  It has finally become common knowledge he lied through his teeth on the Affordable Care Act.  God help us… we need brighter and less political hacks in Washington.

UPDATE 2018: Surprise! Nitwit Nancy is back as the Speaker. And has she really gotten dumber.

UPDATE 2020: Nancy Numb-nuts Pelosi lead an impeachment effort against Trump in 2019 and it backfired right in her face. Then to show just how dumb she really was… in front of 34MM people at the State of the Union in 2020, she tore up Trumps speech. Pure histrionics, but dumb nonetheless. She looked like a pure and simple “little baby throwing a tantrum”. Her colleagues should have yanked her aside and told her “that shit won’t fly”. “The public was offended by your antics.” But she is such a brick-brain she wouldn’t have listened anyway. My sincere hope is that as I write once again how dumb she is, that karma will deal her a hand of cards with the top card being the “devil” card signifying she is now done FOR GOOD! And that her lasting legacy was a pitiful example of what not to do, and along with that legacy, the House changes order back to Republican. If it does, her legacy will be sealed as one of the worst Speakers dead or alive. And Trump will likely be considered one of the greatest Presidents dead or alive. Him having both houses will electrify this Country like no other event in the last 60 years. The man is sometimes tone deaf as to his comments, but make no mistake he is a man of his word, and he gets stuff done despite all the boat anchors like Pelosi holding him back. He was the right man for our time. We suffered through 8 years… we were due for a Trump kinda President. If you read this say a single prayer that Trump is re-elected and that the House is Republican. You will not be sorry for having done so. Call me if you are 630-327-9389.
