Local Problem

     Cities controlled by Democrats have a problem.  They have demonstrations, riots, burning, looting, and murder.  The WOKE radical left, Black Lives Matter, and ANTIFA have taken over these cities, while mayors and governors ask police to stand down and do nothing. 

        These same mayors, governors, police, and prosecutors have taken an oath to protect the lives and property of the people they serve.  They aren’t doing their jobs, and some honest citizens have been charged with crimes for daring to try to protect themselves and their property. 

        At this point it has become clear that these protests have little or nothing to do with protecting black lives.  Portland, Oregon has had over 60 days of riots.  Chicago has had over 2,000 shooting victims and 400 deaths already this year with as many as 18 fatalities in a single day.  Some of these were children shot in broad daylight in their strollers or in their beds at night.  What happened to all the people who claimed to be concerned about protecting children and blacks?  They seem to have better things to do like burning, looting, and violence in an attempt to divide and destroy our country.

        Sometimes I feel like we should just let these cities burn, but morally we can’t do that.  Too many lives would be lost and destroyed.  Poor minority communities are always hurt the worst. 

        The rest of the country that has real leadership shouldn’t have to pay to rebuild these cities, but we will because it is the moral thing to do.  I am sick and tired of the immoral and hypocritical attitude and actions of the radical left.  I hope the rest of the country will be fed up too by the time of the next election. 

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

Political Correctness

     The second greatest threat I listed to our great country was political correctness.  Political correctness is just another tool the radical left uses to take away freedom of speech, which is the #1 threat. 

        The left tries to convince us that they should have the right to ban any word that might offend any liberal.  This same option does not apply equally to any one on the right.

        All words have meaning & none should be banned.  I had an older sister who passed away after a long and courageous fight with cancer.  I often lovingly refer to her as a tough broad.  Some people say I should not use the word “broad”.  This is ridiculous.  

      Calling the use of certain words a hate crime is even more outrageous.  The word “nigger” is the most frequently banned word.  The word has a place in our vocabulary.  Rappers use it in their lyrics.  When I was in the play To Kill a Mockingbird the word “nigger” was part of the script and we did not change it.  Blacks that I worked with in the Army used the word frequently.  

        Why can blacks say nigger but not whites?  Why is it okay for blacks to call whites cracker or honky?  It sounds like the pure definition of racism to me.  With this kind of political correctness that is based on race, it is no wonder we have a racial divide in this country. 

      Renaming sports teams like the Washington Redskins is another abuse of political correctness.  American Indians do not object to the name.  Just a lot of WOKE liberal idiots.  Most are probably white.  This is nuts.

        Don’t give in to political correctness to pacify the radical left.  Giving in will only empower the left to take away our freedom of speech.  Political correctness is just another political tactic to take away free speech, divide the country, and gain power for the radical left.  If the left can control speech, they will eventually control our thoughts.  

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

Losing Freedom of Speech

     Last week I listed losing freedom of speech as the number one threat facing our great country.  Many conservatives and Trump supporters are afraid to voice their opinion for fear being ostracized, fired from their job, destruction of their property, or even personal violence.  I know people working for major corporations who say voicing conservative views will prevent promotion and even lead to being fired. 

     The radical left know that if they can control speech, they can eventually control thought.  If dissenting speech is eliminated, people eventually won’t think anyone is opposed to the left’s Marxist agenda and believe they have to accept it.  

   The left say they want an open conversation with conservatives, but that is actually the last thing they want.  They only want to hear their own agenda.  If you disagree with it, you will probably be called a racist.  If you state actual facts, their response is to shout over you or say, “That has been debunked.”

       The lame-stream media has totally bought into the left’s agenda, and they no longer report the news.  They give their liberal interpretation of the news items they choose to report.  Viewers are expected to blindly accept their opinion. 

        Social media companies restrict free speech by blocking people who make comments counter to the left’s Marxist agenda.  The left can say anything, including blatant lies and that is okay. 

       Most major universities have been teaching the Marxist agenda for decades.  At most universities it is impossible to obtain tenure if not a Marxist.  No dissenting ideas are allowed on campus.  Conservative speakers are picketed or banned.  There is no free speech.  I feel sorry for Millennials who have been brainwashed with this indoctrination.

       No one is safe criticizing an organization like Black Lives Matter or ANTIFA.  Black Lives Matter does not care about the health and well-being of blacks.  They are looking for power as a Marxist party.  BLM and ANTIFA have done more damage to blacks than whites with the possible exception of WOKE white liberals.  Both should be labeled as domestic terrorists, but we can’t say that. 

       Banning so-called hate crimes is just an excuse to take away conservative freedom of speech.  A couple who painted over Black Lives Matter painted on a public street was charged with a hate crime.  This BLM graffiti should be a crime, but someone trying to clean it up is charged with a hate crime.  This is truly taking away freedom of speech.

      The radical left has taken over the Democratic Party.  Even weak Republicans try to appease the left.  This will never work as they will continue to demand more and become more violent until they destroy the country with Marxist ideas.

        George Orwell predicted this could happen in his book 1984 which was published in 1949.  He was wrong only in how long it took to happen.  Paul Harvey predicted this could happen in 1965.  We have to wake up and take a stand if we want to preserve our freedoms.

       In summary, we have all the hate groups, the Democratic Party, weak Republicans, the lame-stream media, social media, major universities, and many corporations all restricting free speech.  This should scare everyone.  If we lose our freedom of speech, we will eventually lose all our freedoms.  I can understand why people who are supporting a family cannot risk losing their job, but we better stand up and be counted at the polls in November. 

       

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

Our Country's 20 Greatest Threats

        For several months, I have been writing and revising what I consider the most critical threats facing our great country.  Here they are in order of the most critical threats.

1.  Losing freedom of speech – Banning Conservative       speech and so-called hate speech.  – Even social media   is taking away free speech.

2.  Political correctness – Could take away our First     Amendment rights including freedom of speech – All   words have meaning & none should be banned.

3.  Control of schools by radical left – 90% are teaching   Marxism and socialist propaganda and not the 3 R’s,   history, or civics.

4.  Political apathy – The United States has been the leader   of the free world for over 100 years and people don’t   recognize that could change and we could lose our   freedom.

5.  Globalism - Unfair trade policies, deficit trade balances,   weapons industry, drugs trade, money laundering, and    lost control of medical & military supplies to China.

6.  The radical left changing or eliminating the Constitution,   Government Checks & Balances, the Electoral College,   and using impeachment for political reasons.

7.  Double standard for Rule of Law – No one should be   above the law.

8.  The Ruling Class - Oligarchs & big money controlling our   government.

9.  Corrupt Washington bureaucrats and the Deep State –   Working with no accountability for the ruling class and not   the people.

10.  A lying media selling the left’s propaganda

11.  Growing government & government debt – One of the

       greatest fears of out founding fathers.

12.  Open boarders & sanctuary cities

13.  Loss of Second Amendment rights – This has nothing        to do with hunting.

14.  Party politics & corrupt politicians- Many POITICIANS        will do anything to stay in office, including using race to      divide the country. 

15.  Socialism/Marxism – This is the ultimate end goal of the     left.

16.  Religious freedoms of Christians being taken away.

17.  Rising health care costs created by insurance companies and government.

18.  Declining work ethic, declining family values, and         increased welfare – Some urban areas have a 3^rd                generation of welfare.

19.  War with Islam – This has nothing to do with race and is     a religious war fighting to convert the world by any     

      means necessary.

20.  Lost financial security due to the insecurity of personal        and home devices.

21.  COVID-19 or some other virus

22.  Nuclear war

     I listed 22 threats because I did not want to give the impression that I forgot the Wuhan virus or nuclear war which did not make my top 20 dangers.  I will be addressing each of these dangers individually in the future. 

          

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

Protestors or Idiots - Patriots or Marxists

        Recent demonstrations have turned into riots and looting that destroyed black communities.  Are these people protesting for black equality, or are they intentionally trying to divide the country, with destroying black communities as just collateral damage?  If their intentions are to help blacks and they don’t see the damage they are doing, they really are stupid.  Why do blacks help the WOKE white Marxist idiots burn their neighborhoods?  I like Mark Steyn’s description when he called the demonstrations “The march of the morons.”

        Tearing down statues of Civil War abolitionists just shows the mob’s ignorance of history, or maybe they are just plain ignorant.  They definitely are criminals and need to pay restitution and serve time.

        The real shame is how Democratic mayors and governors allow the riots to continue.  They claim to be the party representing blacks, but their actions show they really could care less about the health and well being of minority communities.  They don’t care if black neighborhoods turn into lawless urban jungles.  They can go home to their safe communities. 

        The Black Lives Matter organization is a real joke.  The facts show the real problem is blacks killing blacks.  BLM could care less about these black lives.   The mob wants to defund the police when the real solution is more proactive policing.  If their real objective is to promote crime in these communities, or divide and destroy the country, they are achieving their objective.  This appears to be the real objective of BLM, ANTIFA, and other extremists like George Soros.

        The most disgusting thing is how political, community, and business leaders, including Republican conservatives, have bowed down to the Marxist mob that is trying to destroy this country.  I have often said that people in this country could lose their freedom if they don’t pay attention.  At my age, I believed it could never happen in my lifetime, but with the recent riots, I am afraid it could. This Marxist movement has been promoted by the left and our universities for several decades.  We are now facing a potential crisis as they continue to push for socialism.

WOKE

         WOKE is usually defined as awoken to or alert to injustice in society with special emphasis on racism.  This political movement originated with young, liberal, white people.  I call it a political movement because it has become a political tool the left uses to gain power.  The left is using white liberals to divide this country.  It has little or nothing to do with helping the black community.  I feel sorry for WOKE liberals that have good intentions, but don’t recognize the damage they are doing to blacks.

        The WOKE movement is not very well organized, but these same people sympathize with, support, or join other better organized and more radical groups like Black Lives Matter (BLM) or ANTIFA.  It is interesting how an organization like ANTIFA, who claims to be anti-fascist, employs militant fascist tactics. 

        The BLM and ANTIFA demonstrations have escalated to riots, looting, arson, and physical violence even including murder.  Their demands to defund the police would lead to total anarchy. 

        I am appalled how political and corporate leaders give in to these criminals.  Giving in and making concessions to the rioters will only promote more riots and violence. 

        The left say they want a real conversation, but if you say anything they don’t agree with, you could be barred from social media or lose your job.  Freedom of speech and the rule of law is a thing of past for the radical left.

        The Democratic Party claims to be the party that is best for black Americans.  Presidential candidate Joe Biden said “If you don’t vote for me you’re not Black.”  The urban areas with the most problems for blacks have had Democratic leadership for decades.  It obviously has not worked out well.  History shows the Democratic Party was the pro slavery party and the Party of the Ku Klux Klan.  They are still trying to divide the county with race.

        The race issue in this country is worse now than it has been in over a dozen years.  Let’s get real for a moment and look at the four major reasons for the political and racial division in this country.  They are:

1.   The radical left of the Democratic Party

2.   Black Lives Mater

3.   ANTIFA

4.   The WOKE movement

        Let’s get over this BS, and stop dividing the country.  We are all Americans.  Let’s act like it and work together.

                       

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

Opportunity

            The Wuhan Virus has changed our country.  You may or may not feel that shutting down our economy was necessary, but it has increased unemployment and caused many business failures. 

        On the bright side, it has created many opportunities.  The Great Depression of the 1930s was terrible, but it created many new millionaires.  There will be similar potential opportunities resulting from this economic shut-down.  

        I had a good laugh at the toilet paper shortage, but that was a short-term opportunity that produced some price gouging and hoarding.  There are some real long-term opportunities. 

        For some reason there is a shortage of bicycles.  I am not sure why, but several people have told me it is hard to buy a new or even a good used bicycle.  This appears to be more than regional phenomena.  My son in Portland, Oregon said the same is true there.  I put a used mountain bike I had on Craig’s List and sold it for asking price to the first person who called. 

        We have a restaurant in our area that will not be reopening.  This is a restaurant and bar with a good image on the water in a resort area.  It has docks for boats, outside and inside seating, and a renovated kitchen.  I am not a big fan of the restaurant business because it is a tough business for an independent, but this could be a good opportunity for someone with extensive restaurant experience. 

        Many products previously made in other countries like China will soon be made in the United States.  This presents some huge opportunities.

        What will happen to the urban areas that have been destroyed by the idiots trying to divide and destroy this great country?  Will these areas be rebuilt or will people and businesses move out of the cities?  I don’t know, but either way, there will be new opportunities.  If people continue to elect liberal Democrats to run their cities, those cities will continue to decay and enslave people to welfare.

        A lot of independent businesses fail for a variety of reasons.  Franchises do better because they have a proven business model and system.  Finding the right business to fit your expertise and resources is the challenge.

        If you are considering controlling your own destiny, I recommend reading by book, Business Fits: How to find the right business for you!
