"Again"

 


Once "again" the Dems reach over to the right to install a slogan for 2024. How sad they can't come up with something original. Like "No Tax on Tips" "Again" has, for some time, been associated with "Make America Great "Again," the Republican Party and Donald J. Trump. They could at least submit a slogan that refers to the 'future' and not bringing up their past...which is something they can't get away from. They elected these two incompetents, Biden and Harris, the media's promoted and covered up their faults and flaws, they cast aside democracy, disregard the votes of their own people and installed through a non-democratic process a person with no credible achievements as a Vice President. A job described by a leading Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, as being ‘People say to me, “Why isn’t she doing this or that?” I said because she’s the vice president. That’s the job description. You don’t do that much.’ Well Kamala has certainly lived up to Nancy's assessment of what a VP does. Not much.

You must wonder how more than 50%-70% of any race, religion, ethnic ancestry, educational achievement, profession, or financial stature, white collar or blue could or would cast a vote for a candidate selected, not elected, by the voters, would actually "again" cast their vote for the two candidates heading the Democrat Ticket for 2024. Not unless they have a vested and financial stake in continuing the path of ruin of America, again, for four more years.

If, huge if, the American people cast a vote based on policies, the election is in fact legitimate and not fraudulently contrived, and those voting are in fact American Citizens, Donald J Trump will have Reagan like results. It votes are cast because one doesn't like or in fact hates, well, we 'again' will 'again' be subjects, not citizens.

Stay safe, stay free and stay ready. There are many within our borders, not here for asylum, but destruction to our way of life. We are one election away from giving them our freedom. I'm not a huge fan of Trump, I don't fly his flag, wear his garb, or support his way of vocalizing his assessments of others. I'm not a huge fan of name calling...regardless of party affiliation or lack of honesty, truthfulness and competence. But I have lived through 4 years of political, social, economic recovery, a growing abundance of energy, low inflation, and a world in a state of peace, military appreciation and justice that actually follows the rules of law. As well as nearly four years of what can only be described as a total disaster of a Democrat Administration without any regard for the Constitution, rule of law, personal freedom and a smidge of concern for American citizens before foreign interests.

When my mail-in ballot arrives I will cast a vote for what can be, unburdened by what has been...these last four years.

"We beat Medicare."
"Who doesn't love a yellow school bus?"

Not "again" PLEASE!

EVEN PHOTOS CAN'T ADD WORTH TO SOME WORDS.

 

 

What a difference from 35 to 46. 

One of the current slogans/chants coming from the Harris / Walz camp is..."We're not going back." It is with a the greatest of desire and hope that we do. We will be so much better off. Richer, without a iota of reference to money, but a connection to truth, facts, morals, and an honest association with that laid out in our Constitution, its Amendments, the Bill of Rights and the rule of law that for the most part, up until January 20, 2021 was in fact our foundation. I must say President Trump has been a victim of political prejudice never before seen in America. His Constitutional Rights have been trampled. The rule of law obliterated, fair and impartial justice ignored, and his person and family subjected to third world methods that apparently have been on loan from the likes of Venezuela or one of the Middle Eastern nations bent on destroying our Republic. Amazingly...He still stands. Still fights for the country and its citizens...all of them, whether you want to believe that or not. For you simple minded and biased individuals that have half a brain, the slogan is Make America Great Again. Not make the Republicans, or the whites, nor the Christians, nor those of color, those married, those divorced, those poor, those rich, those anything other than American Citizens. As we look back to his first four years, I cannot locate one example of where an individual that opposed his policies was segregated from the policies by race, religion, profession, degree of education, or party affiliation. His previous and future policies encompass America First, Americans First. Please, if you believe you can do better someplace else. Leave. "Don't let yesterday use up too much of today." Will Rogers. At the same time, don't forget how hard fought it was, how many sacrificed, the sacrifices of the masses, the cost of maintaining our freedoms and those that led us through it all. I've listed a few of them and their words...we need not forget...with few exceptions.  

Abraham Lincoln

"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

“You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.” 

Theodore Roosevelt

“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.” 

"There is but one answer to terrorism and it is best delivered with a Winchester rifle." 

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” 

Franklin D. Roosevelt

” We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions-bound together by a single unity, the unity of freedom and equality. Whoever seeks to set one nationality against another, seeks to degrade all nationalities.” 

“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” 

“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." 

Harry S Truman

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."

“Term limits would cure both senility and seniority- both terrible legislative diseases.” 

Dwight D. Eisenhower

“If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.” 

“But we know that freedom cannot be served by the devices of the tyrant. As it is an ancient truth that freedom cannot be legislated into existence, so it is no less obvious that freedom cannot be censored into existence. And any who act as if freedoms defenses are to be found in suppression and suspicion and fear confess a doctrine that is alien to America.” 

John F. Kennedy

“Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom.” 

“For in a government of laws and not of men, no man, however prominent or powerful, and no mob however unruly or boisterous, is entitled to defy a court of law. If this country should ever reach the point where any man or group of men by force or threat of force could long defy the commands of our court and our Constitution, then no law would stand free from doubt, no judge would be sure of his writ, and no citizen would be safe from his neighbors.” 

“A tax cut means higher family income and higher business profits and a balanced federal budget.” 

“By calling attention to 'a well-regulated militia,' 'the security of the nation,' and the right of each citizen 'to keep and bear arms,' our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy... The Second Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason, I believe the Second Amendment will always be important.” 

“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” 

Ronald Reagan

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” 

“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.” 

“Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.” 

“We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much.” 

“Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it.” 

William J. Clinton

“I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time - never. These allegations are false.” 

“Behind every great man there stands a great woman. Behind every great woman is a great behind.” 

“We can't afford to lose control of our own borders or to take on new financial burdens at a time when we are not adequately providing for the jobs, the health care and the education of our own people.” 

“Any president that lies to the American people should have to resign.” 

Barack Hussein Obama

“When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk.” 

“Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.” 

“What is important is that we make sure to work together, that we understand our strength comes from unity and not division.” 

Donald J. Trump

“As long as we have faith in each other, and trust in God, then there is no goal, at all, beyond our reach. There is no dream too large, no task too great.” 

“The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead.” 

“The American Dream is freedom, prosperity, peace-and liberty and justice for all. That's a big dream. It's not always easy to achieve, but that's the ideal. More than any country in history we've made gains toward a democracy that is enviable throughout the world. Dreams require perseverance if they are to be realized, and fortunately we're a hard-working country and people. We are the luckiest people in history, just by the fact that we are Americans.” 

Joseph Biden

 “Don’t. Don’t, don’t, don’t.” 

“You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.” 

“No Ordinary American Cares About Their Constitutional Rights” 

“Make sure of two things. Be careful - microphones are always hot, and understand that in Washington, D.C., a gaffe is when you tell the truth. So, be careful.” 

“What I was saying is that Israel cannot count on the United States.” 

““Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” 

Then we have Kamala Harris in the wings… 

“‘Who doesn’t love a yellow school bus?" 

"What can be, unburdened by what has been"  

““First of all, it’s two letters. It means artificial intelligence, but ultimately what it is, is it’s about machine learning.” 

"It's on your laptop, and it's then therefore up there in this cloud, that exists above us, right? It's no longer in a physical place."

"Cost of living is still too high. Giant corporations driving up those costs every day. It’s why we’re taking on special interests, working to lower the cost of living, housing, of gas, of groceries, of everyday essentials," 

These last two, Sleepy Joe and Word Salad Harris have had 1305 days - 3 years, 6 months, 28 days - 42 months, 28 days - 1,879,200 minutes - 31,320 hours - 186 weeks and 3 days in office. The last quote, made in regarding the ‘cost of living’ has become part of the teleprompter rhetoric being regurgitated from the podium. “On day one.” Well, you and the demented one have had 1305 day ones already. You are the reason the cost of living is too high. What you will be doing on day one in 2025, if the upcoming election is legitimate, properly tabulated, and outside sources, medias, government departments and judicial entities quit interfering with the process, you will be headed back to California. There is no doubt in my mind that your 15 minutes is up. Yesterday, 16August2024 she substantiated that a vote for her is a vote for a socialistic, fascist and communistic administration. Sorry! Not in America. 

Basic sensed Democrat, Republican, Independents and other voters will not tolerate any more of your fraudulent and shallow attempts to fabricate any resemblance that you and the fractured, radical left extremists put America First. I’m not a gambler…but if I were…I would, with a bushel of faith, an ocean of hope and the prospect of living my last few years in the country and a political arena that does put America First. I’m betting on a Trifecta…Oval Office, House and Senate. A future with secure borders, huge reduction in the cost of living. Much lower inflation rates, increase in the disparity of income vs. inflation, energy independence (if I’m lucky – energy dominate), reduction in interest rates like the one we have on our home, 2.62%, insurance rate reductions, (not sure I believe the polls that estimate auto and home increases around 25%. Ours, motorcycle doubled. Auto doubled, homeowners, 40+ %). Return of a housing supply and ability for the next generation to afford housing. A reality once U.S. energy supply has been reestablished. For those that do or choose to rent, huge reductions. I have stated before, when between sale and purchase of homes we had to rent. $926.00 monthly (September 2020 through January 2021). Today that same unit, same complex, same location…$1854 monthly. Dwell on first and last and a $500.00 cleaning deposit. Corporate greed and price gouging are not to blame. Bidenomics is the blame and a joke. Joe Biden's legacy is not economic growth, job growth…one, economic growth is a falsehood, the other would have occurred regardless of who sat in the Oval. His legacy is in his quotes. After the lies and misdeeds of the Covid spectacle ceased…people went back to work. 

You can see when it all went to shit in their quotes. I could go all the way back to President Washington for quotes that have been echoed through time by many Presidents. Even Clinton and Obama, on occasion, provided insight to an America that reflected growth and prosperity. Even they were part of a Party that was at one time a Party for the people to respect and follow. Even I believed that, for a decade I was a registered Democrat. Then they put a peanut farmer from Georgia on their ticket. Like Biden, a one term President. Carter is so glad to have lived long enough to see his ‘worst' President in history erased. I don’t think Biden knows he has taken over that title. 

In 1933 FDR stated, “Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself”. He didn’t know Joseph Biden would be at the helm, maybe, until January 20, 2025. I say maybe because like Tim Walz, he has already shown a taste for cowardice. Walz abandon his unit and a major city in his state of responsibility, Biden abandon his constituents and America. The mainstream media can sugar coat both all they want. Patriotic Americans of all races, religions, professions, degrees of education, financial status and those that possess moral values know better. The others will vote for the Harris / Walz ticket. Sad to think that a 'side chick' and a habitual liar are the best they have to offer.  

“We dare not forget that we are the heirs of that first revolution.” JFK.

Stay safe, stay free, and stay ready. Mail in, absentee or in person on November 5, 2024...Cast your vote for our future as a free Republic depends on it.

Remembering a Friend with a side of rant.

 


I got a call the other day that was one that makes you stop and remember, be humbled, and grateful, and thankful with happy memories and the weight of sadness, so heavy that you must sit down. I was informed by one of the men I served with in Vietnam, having stayed in touch, one of several where friendship developed and became part of ones soul, even though we only saw each other but a few times since returning to our homes, going our own ways, raising our own families and always, always thankful each and every moment of every day for the chance at life that so many didn’t have. Another of those, now more than one cares to talk about, that was part of my Vietnam history passed away. He was one in our small group that shared in making the tour memorable, sustainable, made the long hours, the really shitty weather, the little black buggy things in the bread and biscuits, the confinements of being in country, living quarters (very loose descriptive use of those two words), rats the size of a house cat, too many medivacs to count, humidity that allowed 30 seconds of feeling clean after a shower and on many occasions warm beer, not so bad. I’m sorry, warm beer sucks. He will never be forgotten. Nor will those that rest upon the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

I am frequently reminded of Vietnam when an individual or group talk about climate change. Especially if they are relating to the seasonal changes here in the United States. Go whine somewhere else. Vietnam has a season we don’t share here; it is called Monsoon Season. Go to any travel agency and they will tell you traveling to Southeast Asia between June and October is not the best time. Apparently, the Marine Corps doesn’t use travel agents.

Then today, just a few ago, I’m flipping through You Tube, watching this and that. Music and dancing in between CNN, MSNBC and FOX clips regarding the current campaigns. Which when you consider most is propaganda and not journalism but like the weather in Vietnam…shitty. When I came across a collection of scenes from “Taking Chance.”

After regaining my composure and letting the anger subside, I went to my laptop. So here we are. It will be a short rant. Having lost fellow Marines in combat, friends and neighbors as well and some over the years to Agent Orange illnesses and cancers, More lost in Iraq, Afghanistan as well as fellow officers while serving on the California Highway Patrol you wouldn’t think it would be this devastating. But it is. Why you ask.

The Democratic Party has selected two of the most unqualified candidates as the best they have to offer. The propaganda parade across the mainstream medias will get them votes from other incompetents. Let us just hope not enough. One who has proven her incompetence over the last 3+ years and another that is further from being a moderate Midwesterner than a rice farmer in Vietnam. The broadcast scenes from “Taking Chance” slammed into my consciousness like John Henry’s hammer. Not only is the Democrats choice for VP incompetent, but the scenes from “Taking Chance” reminded me, no matter how you slice it, his 24 year military record and his fabrication about it caps off his legacy with cowardice and lies. Something he has in common with Biden. His legacy too is being tainted as well. Who is going to forget his 50+ years ended with an organized coup by his Party and dementia.

Stay safe, stay free and stay ready.

"A little traveling music please."

 

"Follow me, I know a back way out."


If you were able to get through the Harris Philadelphia Rally, the first appearance of Harris and Walz (or Waltz...if you associate him with dancing. Like Walz waltzed away from his National Guard Unit) together it spoke volumes about the character of both individuals.

She passed on Shapiro...thankfully...his addition would have made it a tighter opposition as we approach November. Harris, once elected and then impeached the Democratic Party would have had a viable contender. But she picked the weakest of all of the candidates there was to choose from. Think about it...Walz is not a threat to her at all. To Minnesota and America, yes, to her no. I'm sure she takes comfort in his boisterous claim that no matter what "I have her back." I'm guessing here...just like he had the backs of those in his National Guard Unit in Iraq. We have been able to associate her as a liar, incompetent and far left progressive for sometime. Now that she has taken on Walz we can add to those descriptors on the ticket "coward."

But don't sit on your laurels between now and November 5th. Vote, absentee, mail-in or in person on election day. But vote, because now more than ever our future and the future of the Republic is truly at stake. Many won't understand this...it is not the person, but the policies. Do your homework and compare the policies. I really hope there are debates...I doubt it. Those that debate President Trump don't have what one might call a winning record. Hell, one debate caused a coup, booted the legally nominated Democratic candidate into a 'lame and demented duck.' President. I don't think Biden ever considered Harris a threat to his re-election campaign. I think his condition made him forget the Party he represented and those pulling the strings.

Stay safe, stay free and stay ready. Vote.

Are you shitting me?

 

Cam-all-a

Please don't put him behind the wheel of the USA


Cam-all-a Harris (like in camel toe) picked, well maybe she picked, Tim Walz. When you think about that it makes sense. The worst VP in history picks one of the worst Governors in history running to replace the worst President in history is in line with the worst policies in the modern history of our Republic.

Here we are on the same page as the one Biden left in his wake as he ran and hid. Beware…their lips are moving. Harris, “Our borders are secure.” Walz in print and video, claiming to be a retired Command Sergeant Major (E-9). Check the facts he never completed the requirements and retired as an E-8. He seemed to have left that part out. I congratulate and honor him for his service, as I would any, regardless of rank, veteran or active service member for their service to our country. You can sugar coat it all you want…it is Stolen Valor. He embellished his rank and retirement. Every time President Trump exaggerates or embellishes anything, no matter what the subject he is lying. Same goes for Harris and Tampon Tim. I wonder if anyone has shared the autopsy report with the Gov regarding George Floyd. It is a very long report…this is a section of Page 9.

NECK: Layer by layer dissection of the anterior strap muscles of the neck discloses no areas of contusion or hemorrhage within the musculature. The thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone are intact. The larynx is lined by intact mucosa. The thyroid is symmetric and red-brown, without cystic or nodular change. The tongue is free of bite marks, hemorrhage, or other injuries. The cervical spinal column is palpably stable and free of hemorrhage.

Corporal Vance may have never needed to fire his weapon, he may never come under fire. But he served in a combat zone. Italy has not been a combat zone since, oh I don’t know, 1943.

What we do know about them both is radical, progressive left…at least as far as Bernie Sanders…maybe further. They both watch as our borders are illegally crossed by thieves, murderers, human traffickers, scum of the earth gang members, rapists, drug smugglers and terrorists from every country known to the United States as enemies.

But we can all take solace in Cam-all-a’s words that as soon as she is elected, she will secure the border and do everything within her power to lower the cost of goods. Now there is a line of bull shit you can take to the bank. If they aren’t all closed by then. What in the hell has she been doing for the last 3 ½ years with the demented one. Oh wait, nothing. Can’t wait for the debates and she gets off the teleprompter. I have mentioned President Trump's Debate Score previously. Republican Candidates Debate, a win. Hillary what’s her name, a win. Joe Biden…a win. A debate that caused the unethical removal of the legally nominated Democratic Candidate for 2024. So much for democracy. Overall...Trump 3 Others 0.

I never in my lifetime thought I would be exposed to a flip flopping liar as low and despicable as John Kerry. I, again, was wrong. She has set a new standard. Depending on your take really, really low or higher than could ever be attained again.

When I think about the women that could be cast as the first female President, she isn’t on it. She isn’t even a thought. But then she wasn’t on Biden’s either until he was ordered to pick “woman of color.” Two that come to mind are Condoleezza Rice, and K.T. McFarland. You know, two women that actually ‘earned’ their political status upright.

So here we go into the final three months before the November 5th election. We have a Republican Nominee that has a track record of strength, prosperity, international respect, lower taxes, low inflation, fewer regulations restricting progress and growth, energy efficiency and with an attitude and record that put American First. With a VP selection who has not nor will embellish his military record, made no false claims about his service as a United States Marine, nor made reversals of his views on policies. The one thing he has flip flopped on is his personal belief regarding President Trump. Like many of us in the beginning. “Oh shit, what just happened.” Then he got our attention, followed up on his promises, delivered on his ideas and muddled through 5 years of hate and abuse…now approaching 9 years. Like many, J.D. Vance adjusted his thought process and saw the dedication and conviction to Make America Great Again. I’m still not sold on the ‘again.’ But I’m all over Make America Greater. America, no matter how hard the lower than whale poop Democratic Party, its two appointed cast members along with their supporters and voters try, it is now and will always be GREAT.   

Stay safe, stay free, stay ready and like Will Rogers said…” Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today.”

One Debate Away...

 

It was in the bag.

 President Trump and DUH.

Kamala should remember her own words. Okay maybe not really her own words but consistent with the mumbo jumbo (word salad) she spews when not on script/teleprompter. "Be careful what you wish for, wishing for is just wishing for it to happen and then the wish happens, and you wish you had been careful of wishing for it to happen." Well, she claims she wants to debate Trump and he is backing down. Well, if she is nominated at the convention, considering the DNC has rigged their party like they rigged the 2020 election, she'll probably get it. I mean really, who else they got. Then Trump will debate the officially installed Democratic Nominee for President. Here is where the wish turns to shit. He debated many in 2016 Republican Primary Debates...as I recall came out on top. Then there was the Poll Favorite Hillary, she thought she had it in the bag and debated. Not so. He came out on top again and she goes on speaking tours and The View.

Then look at his last debate. Biden challenged Trump, laid out the place and rules. Challenge accepted. He is now not only the worst President in the history of the Republic, but the absolute weakest and incompetent "lame duck" President in this Republics history that had his democratically obtained nomination delegates stripped from him and "given" not earned, to what's her name. Not to mention the primary example of how the Democratic Party skirts around "democracy." They appoint an individual with a comparable poor and unaccomplished record, and considered by many to be the worst Vice President in history who cannot be "unburdened by what has been." She is what has been...and no lies, flip flops, mainstream media propaganda can separate her from her past.

I do have some sympathy for whom she picks as her running mate. Think about that on your resume. Her getting on the debate stage with President Trump would be like the Algerian "female" boxer getting into the ring with Mike Tyson with or without a bra.  

If the rules of the debate are the same, no notes, no teleprompter, no collaboration with staff during breaks, and no audience... she's to put it politely, toast. If there is anything, anyone, any concepts of 'weird' in today’s political environment...it is Kamala Harris. There are only two ways she can win. Trump is eliminated, figuratively, the election is won under fraudulent and illegal means.

Prove me wrong America, prove me wrong and vote for policies rooted in putting America First, leave your hate at home and cast an intelligent and basic sense vote. Not one for the corrupt, incompetent polices we have been subjected to creating a weaker Republic, higher inflation, illegal immigration beyond any previous comprehension, rises in crime, taxes, a loss of energy dependence and green new deals that have done nothing to affect climate that differs from the routine of the changing of seasons.

This is the election that will determine “what can be…”
