Ya know…

I’ve been on “X” (The application formerly known as Twitter,) for about two years, this time.

I’ve made plenty of comments. Some snarky, some funny, some very serious. But I’ve not made comments wherein I called someone I’d never interacted with, dumb shit or motherfucker.

The left on the other hand often tends to end their comments on something I might have said with epithets like that. 

I responded to Senator Markwayne Mullin the other day.

Senator Mullin was calling out the hypocrisy of the Democrat members of Congress over the admittedly careless conversation Pete Hegseth and others had on the Signal app.

The Senator correctly pointed out that the Signal App was approved for communications by the Government. He also pointed out that none of the material was necessarily classified and that while “Yes,” the discussion should have perhaps been handled over other channels. The issue was not as “Devastating, or a threat to National Security,” as the media and Democrats have been trying to paint it as.

I took a different position. I directly asked Senator Mullin this;

My question was based in what I remembered from the days when I had a security clearance.

I vaguely remember something about identifying myself if I was included on an email or other communication that was above my clearance level.

At the time it made perfect sense to me. I thought it was based not only in operational security but common decency and politeness, so my compliance was one of those things that came completely naturally.

Perhaps its because of my experience with clearances, my recognition that some classifications were so far beyond me that my knowing anything about certain subjects could get me imprisoned, or just that I was raised right, that the question popped into my head.

The one and only time I was included in something that I was not cleared for and brought it to the attention of the meeting organizer, I was complimented and several weeks later rewarded with a higher clearance.

I’d established that I could be trusted. Even though the higher clearance meant more responsibility, and more training in dealing with the different classification. It was worth it.

So it’s from this perspective that I viewed the situation.

Senator Mullin does almost daily posts where he explains the inner workings of Congress and topics that may be occupying the news cycle. I’ll rarely miss one of his posts because they’re informative and he speaks plainly.

There were a number of comments directed at my question that were about 50/50 positive/negative. But one comment was a one sentence very angry defense of Goldberg that ended with the writer calling me a dumbshit.

I don’t really care, but then I thought about it and wondered why the person was so angry.

I looked at their profile and on many issues, I agreed with their positions. What I didn’t agree with was this person’s frequently calling people that they didn’t agree with, dumbshit, motherfucker, cocksucker, etc…

I’ve got a foul mouth, but I try not to say, “Hey you! Yes you! Yeah, dumbshit! You! You’re a load your mother wishes she’d swallowed.

I might think it. But I’d no more say that, than the man in the moon.

Then I thought about it and decided I’m implementing a new rule.

I’m going to block anyone that speaks to me in a way that I wouldn’t tolerate in a bar. From this perspective, if I’d not speak to you in a bar, or hang out with you in person, there is no incentive whatsoever to put up with you on X.

So, my blocked list grows, not out of fear, or being thin skinned. I simply refuse to be a punching bag for abusive people whether I may agree with them or not.

I value myself too highly to waste time arguing online or to take anyone’s shit.

Treat yourself well, and have a great day.

They almost won…

Trump address Congress.width-1024.I set time aside to listen to President Trump’s speech.

The man had no sooner taken the podium than the Democrats began showing their asses.

I understand that the Democrats are angry and upset. 

However, I am an American citizen. Donald Trump is the sitting President. I would very much like to hear what he has to say.

Congressional Democrats attempted to do ME Personally a disservice by not allowing me to hear The President. They should be ashamed!

This is unacceptable behavior for anyone in Congress. Including Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. I want the Congress People to sit down and shut the hell up when the Commander in Chief speaks.

L intro 1741145029.It’s one thing when a comedian turned President acts up in The Oval Office.

It’s quite another thing for politicians representing American people to be disrespectful, to both the President and the American People in the House Chamber.

I turned the damn television off because I was so offended.

I’m willing to say I will never vote for another Democrat. I’ve always been willing to listen to what Democrats said. I’ve voted for them if they made sense and I believed they could do a good job.

Effective tonight, I don’t think that I could in good conscience vote for any Democrat.

They have repeatedly disrespected Me.

I am angry about that. 

The Sargent at Arms removing Al Green was not enough. 

I want to see investigations, not the Congressional talk, talk, talk. The kind that end with Uniformed Officers sweeping in making arrests.

You see, I’ve had enough of our Government running amok.

I’m glad that I tuned back in after the Democrat shenanigan’s were put down.

I liked hearing the rest of the speech and noted that the Democrats eventually read the room and just sat glowering. 

I have to say that Senator Elissa Slotkin made good points. Generally I disagree with her. But I’m not sure if that is because I was so offended by her colleagues or if I have valid reasons form my disagreement.

I know I just wrote I wouldn’t vote for another Democrat. However, I must as a part of my duty listen to the opposing side.

Hmm. Talk about misreading a room!

I’m honestly not sure what to think about this whole Zelensky affair.

Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office.Seeing the Ukrainian Ambassador essentially face palm it was pretty darn funny. Her expression was one of “Oh Shit! This isn’t going well at all.”

We’ll never know if she told Zelensky to just make nice in front of the cameras, sign the mineral deal, and we’ll negotiate these other issues on the backend. 

That probably would have worked very well. “Give a little, get a little”.

Trump and his people are no doubt very aware that the American People have had quite enough lighting our tax dollars on fire. Therefore a public showing of American getting something in return for their support of Ukraine, and a more private deal in a conference room who’ll have been much more likely to have been agreed to.

There’ve been reports that part of the deal Trump was suggesting was to negotiate more European involvement in securing Ukraine in addition to America naturally protecting businesses and citizens who would be working on the minerals side of things.

I believe and always have believed that Putin’s biggest reason for invading Ukraine, (Aside from Biden being very poor in international policy), was the NATO connection. NATO membership for Ukraine brings with it, all kinds of unacceptable issues including weapons systems and potentially nukes of various types right to the border of Russia.

Biden’s posturing about Ukraine being given NATO membership, might not have been the only reason Putin Invaded, but it damn sure had to have been a factor.

Zelensky getting mouthy with The President, The Vice President, The Secretary of State and others, in front of The American People, in The White House was a super bad move.

For many of the American people tired of financing the Ukraine, Zelensky looked like one of those homeless people who demand money from you as you walk past then get belligerent when you say you haven’t got anything to give them.

Indeed lots of Americans have suffered with taxes, inflation, and all the other issues the past 5 years brought them. And yet Billions kept flowing to Ukraine while our own people suffered. 

I think Zelensky will not be seeing any more American money, weapons, or resources. Even if he apologizes it might not matter. Americans are souring on propping up everybody else’s countries or governments. Especially when doing so leaves our people wanting.

I’m leaning toward Zelensky missing some social queues. Perhaps he thought he’d plead his case in front of the American People, hoping that they would intercede with the mean new administration. If that was his plan, he grossly misread America.

Zelensky was being criticized by medrmebers of his own government Friday evening. Who knows? Zelensky might be on his way out as the President of Ukraine too.

I’m being mean I know, BUT…

I have been enjoying the hell out of Trumps first week in office.

If the Democrats stay this mad for much longer, they’re going to have aneurysms. Not that I’d shed too many tears about it.

CNN is laying off, Deportations are ongoing, Jim Acosta may lose his prime time slot and possibly his job. The J6 folks are free as are the pro life protestors who prayed at an abortion clinic.

I caught an article today saying that Klaus Schwab was big mad at the people in the United States for re-electing Trump. Apparently he thought the lock was in with Kamala and since she’s so weak willed, I’m betting he expected her to sell us out to the WEF and make him king of the world.

We pesky Americans! We just will not submit to being ruled. Klaus told the WEF that perhaps we shouldn’t be allowed to have elections anymore. We’re just too unpredictable.

This is coming second hand from a whistleblower who’s at Davos.

Sorry, when this guy and his buddies, all dress in robes that look like something out of a SciFi movie it gives me pause.

I mean their outfits look like the traditional outfits that the bad guys in such movies wear.

Come on, this screams “I’m the bad guy!” All he needs is some dark and foreboding entrance march.

What the hell are they dressed as?

Anyhow, I think the enemy might be the WEF. Their minions in the form of whatever old Klaus is funding are already here in the states. Schwab commented on a number of “Black Swan” events happening in 2025. Trouble is, Black Swan events are by definition unpredictable so why would Klaus say he was expecting not one, but multiples in one single year?

Maybe it’s a good thing we got Trump.

It’s nice to see common sense, prevailing. I’m not sure about pulling the US out of NATO but I’m pleased he pulled us out of the Paris Climate shit. I’m glad he’s sending illegals back to their countries of origin.

Hey, at least they didn’t have to walk…

I heard this evening that Mexico is refusing the shipments. Isn’t that interesting? 

I’m glad to see the border being closed, I’m also glad that those people being returned are telling their countrymen it’s not worth the trip and that immigration is all over the place. I’m not meaning to be a bastard about this, but wait your freaking turn folks… The illegal crossers just screw up the world for the people who’ve been standing in line to come here legally.

I also like that Trump is moving so fast with so many of the changes and executive orders. Before Democrats read that, and say, “the courts will overturn those executive orders.” I’d like to remind them, Biden forgave student loans, the court said, “You can’t do that,” and Biden did it again.

Where was your outrage then?

If the court says, “No, you can’t do that to Trump,” I think he’d be well within his right to behave exactly as Biden.

I’m for the stipulation Trump set on Federal funding to California too. I think he rightly sees the root cause of the problems being an effectively single party state. So he say, I’ll give you federal funding, but you need to enact Voter ID and divert a lot of the water that runs into the ocean now, back into California.

Seems simple. I’d like to have voter ID in California. I think that would solve a number of issues an it would be interesting to know once and for all if the poor choices in government officials are the result of cheating or stupidity.

DOGE is cutting bullshit studies and programs. They’ve got a slot on USDebtClock.org showing how much they’ve saved. It’s here if you’re interested.

There was a list describing just some of the things they’ve cut. There was a Department of football huddle. They were supposed to regulate the symmetry of football huddles and had the capacity to fine teams that didn’t measure up.

Uhhh really??????? I hope to God that’s a parody. Thus far I can’t confirm or deny it. The sad part is that I wouldn’t be surprised in the least.

Petty assed bureaucrats would try to institute a masturbation tax or fee, if they could figure out how to monitor everyone. There’d be special waivers for minorities and anyone pumping a load into a cup at a sperm bank.

Hegseth was just confirmed as Secretary of Defense. I’m sure a lot of jackasses in the pentagon are shitting themselves right now.

It’s wildly inappropriate but I’d like to see Hegseth rip his shirt off, grab a sword, and yell, “Y’all are righteously FUCKED NOW!!!!” He can’t but I think it would be epic.

Once he gets rid of a bunch of dead weight in generals, I’m hoping he’ll flush the bullshit projects that have been running for 20 years, produced nothing, cost billions, are already obsolete, and not even close to producing a working prototype.

I’m looking forward to week two.

Maybe the CNN, ABC, NBC, & CBS reporters, and this vile bitches on The View will start dropping with heart attacks, since they’re so pissed off. That would be entertainment!

Again Adam Schiff demonstrates that he really doesn’t get it.

Adam schiff democrat california house of representatives.I know this Washington snake is soon to be installed in the Senate. I know that properly I should be referring to him as Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA).

I can’t. All I see is a lying, duplicitous, self aggrandizing, immoral, snake that shouldn’t be within 1000 miles of the levers of power.

I see him as a representation of everything that is wrong not only with Washington D.C. but also with the California electorate who votes (D) no matter what.

Schiff was bad enough when he represented the 30th District, but was typical of that district. The district encompasses parts of LA, Burbank, Pasadena and some of the filthy rich democrat enclaves in La Cresenta, Montrose, La Canada Flintridge, Glendale, Altadena, and parts of Tujunga.

Many of these areas enjoy gated walled communities and are largely disconnected from, or untouched by, the things they vote in favor of.

Prior to 2016 the only time I’d heard his name was when some political scandal broke. I don’t recall if he was condemning the scandal or was part of it. Honestly I didn’t care. Whatever was going on, it was the business of the electorate in the 30th district.

After 2016, he gained prominence by consistently lying and being caught lying in testimony to congress usually about Trump, often while trying to impeach the President. I’m for impeachment of a bad president for cause. I however have a serious problem impeaching the President based on false testimony, statements, fabricated evidence, and the word of a liar who happens to be in the House of Representatives.

Judy Chu 2048x1366.He was like Judy Chu (D-CA) who represents an adjacent district to the East. I ignored her too, until she had Obama annex a part of the forest in the mountains nearer Pasadena. She touted this as important legislation that would ensure the forest was maintained and reduce fire hazards. It didn’t. The feds haven’t done squat, and the recent “Bridge Fire” is ample proof of that.

After the last redistricting, Judy Chu, is unfortunately now representing me and my town so I do pay attention to her. Looking at the redistricting map it’s clear the powers that be wanted to destroy a large Republican voting block that had formed in the high desert. Over the years conservatives who happened to be mostly republican moved to the desert where houses were more affordable and crime was lower. Interesting side note, that migration heralded the loss of Californians to other states for exactly the same reasons.

Judy Chu sends happy horse shit announcements about how interested she is in hearing from us. She invites us to hear her speak prior to elections on weekdays from 8-5 in Pasadena. After the election, we don’t hear anything at all from her or her office. Requests for assistance or even requests for clarity about specific addresses being in her district, or not, go unanswered.

Her notices tell us how important it is for us to be “part of the process,” and how interested she is in hearing from those of us in the mountain portion of her district. I’d bet she couldn’t find this town with a map, GPS, and police escort. She’s another California politician that sits in congress collecting her paycheck, finding ways to get rich like Nancy Pelosi, and doing nothing for the California people. But I digress.

Over the weekend, Schiff appeared on ABC’s “The Week” and said that Americans didn’t vote for Trump to see him pardon “criminals involved” in Jan 6. A brief writeup appeared in Breitbart

Uhhh Adam, yes they did. In great part because you and the Jan 6th committee engaged in what was clearly theater.

Generally speaking, everything the committee did looked a lot more like an old style Soviet show trial than actual justice. It was obvious from the start the committee was going to find anyone guilty that supported Trump and opposed the Democrat Party, or Joe Biden.

That farcical committee pardoned then arranged for a promotion of the single individual who discharged his firearm that day resulting in the murder of Ashley Babbitt.

The committee via the DOJ imprisoned 1000s of American citizens for the duration of Joe Biden’s presidency, many of them in horrific conditions and still awaiting trial or in some cases even pretrial hearings.

Then the committee destroyed evidence. 

We The People, want a lot more than pardons for the January 6 prisoners. We want justice. I can’t speak for all Americans but I want all the members of that committee investigated, tried, sentenced, and imprisoned in exactly the same conditions as the January 6th Prisoners.

Joe Biden might preemptively pardon some of the committee. Which in my mind, simply underscores their guilt, but he’s not going to pardon everyone who contributed to this reign of lawlessness and law fare.

Believe me, when all those underlings and “disposable” people are looking at prison terms, they will turn on members of the committee and even though those members will be sitting fat dumb and happy with pardons. Their guilt will be exposed. I won’t be surprised in the least if the families of those who end up taking the rap for “The Committee” come looking for a little bit of revenge.
