Iz u a boy? or Iz u a girl?

Suppose you're a high school teenage boy and you see a cute girl in one of your classes. She's not beautiful, but she's cute enough and she makes really good comments when the teacher asks questions and she interacts well with some other kids so you want to get to know her a little better and you find yourself paying a little more attention trying to figure out if you can become friends or not. She notices you looking at her and she smiles at you so you screw up the courage to talk to her and ask her a couple of questions. 

At first it's all about stuff the teacher has been saying and other things surrounding class assignments then she asks you about what hobbies you have, what kind of movies you like and what books you like to read. One day seemingly out of nowhere she asks if you'd like to watch the track and field event that afternoon after school. You're a little surprised. Kids talk about the football and basketball games and sometimes they mention the school baseball team, or soccer, but track and field? That's unusual. She says she loves to watch the pole vault and high jump competitions the most. You enjoy her company even if track and field isn't something you really care about so yeah, let's hang out together after school and watch track and field. It's kind of fun watching the competitions taking place around the track. Not many people come to watch, but you are surprised to find that you actually do enjoy watching the different events. 

After that you go on a few 'dates' together. She likes the beach so you spend some time watching the waves and people surfing. Standing on the pier one afternoon watching the sunset she takes you by the hand and pretends to be a palm reader and reading your fortune and telling you what you're going to be in life. She's a little crazy, but funny and creative. You are enjoying her company so much that you start going to some movies or to a fast food joint to  get a hamburger and just talk. 

Things are going pretty well for awhile and you even hold hands sometimes when walking or talking together, but she never wants to hold hands at school. Then one day a friend comes up to you, "Hi Jake!," You say as a greeting and then he gives you a  gut punch you never would have expected in a million years, "Dude, are you gay?" Where did that come from? "Dude I am not gay!" 
"Whatever man, people say you've been hanging out and holding hands with Sandy."
"Wait! Sandy's a girl." 
"No dude, Sandy transferred here from another school. Sandy's a BOY! Man you've been holding hands with a boy. Have you kissed him yet...?"

That's it for that kid. He doesn't want to be cruel, but he's not going to ever look at another girl for at least a couple of years. It's about the best way I can think of to destroy a civilization. Teenagers hate to be embarrassed and that scenario is very embarrassing. There have been a few instances where the injured party, the one who was tricked into thinking he was dating a girl, has actually physically attacked the party pretending to be the opposite sex and the pretender was violently assaulted and in a couple of instances they were killed. 

How does encouraging people to change their gender from one to the other help our society? First of all it's not possible. It simply cannot be done. A person can change their appearance not their gender. About 99 percent of the time the day a baby is born it is obvious what gender the baby is. The result is either a boy or a girl. Most of us knew the difference between a boy and a girl by the time we were three years old. Any serious student of human biology knows that no one is assigned a gender at birth. Gender is known long before the day a child is born. Ever hear of a 'Gender Reveal' party? Blue for a boy and pink for a girl? I've never heard of a yellow or a purple balloon at a gender reveal party. 

The only way that is possible is because gender is not a state of mind. There really is a biologic difference. It's how the human race survives. Screwing with that is how societies die. You don't have to believe that we need two genders to survive, but it will always be a fact. Male and male will always equal no future and the same goes for female. Until 1973 homosexuality was considered a mental disorder. Bravo! What else could it be? And was it taken out of the American Psychology Association journals not because of a new scientific discovery? No, it was removed by political pressure. Scientific knowledge regarding basic human biology wa supplanted by basic human lust. And so the slippery slide began. Same sex attraction was very much frowned upon in America before that. So much so that people with that affliction kept it to themselves. It was hard for homosexuals to meet people with their same attraction. People were afraid to approach each other and confess their desire except in places like bars that catered to prostitutes and criminals. 

In a few short years movies began to appear that didn't make homosexuality an acceptable lifestyle, but created characters who were sympathetic. On screen the directors and writers could create situations in which people, usually young people, could  confess their attraction and plead for help in handling the situation. Those situations led to accusations of bigotry against people who couldn't accept homosexual attraction. Eventually, slowly the homosexual community began to gain more acceptance by using emotional appeal. Over the next couple of decades society began to accept the notion that same gender attraction existed and we had to accept it and allow people to 'be who they are'. It took longer for people to accept public displays of affection like holding hands or kissing. Political pressure began to build mostly in the democrat party where people would claim no one can help who they fall in love with and 'who are you to tell people who they can fall in love with?' which really isn't the question they should be asking. The real question is who are they to turn reality into fantasy and confuse children into believing they may have been lied to about who they are? Actual gender confusion is real, mental gender confusion is wrong.   

In a pretty short period of time laws have been passed that allowed men to marry men and the same for women. About the same time laws were passed granting homosexuals the same 'rights' as minority groups and women. Non discrimination laws that prohibited workplace discrimination and guaranteed equal housing rights were extended to people suffering from same gender attraction. Now we've 'progressed' to the terms transgender and transsexual. It gets pretty murky at that level. Over the years homosexual morphed into same gender attraction and the term 'queer' was totally unacceptable. In the ever changing world of homosexuality we used the terms 'lesbian' for women and 'gay' for men. Then transgender, transsexual, and queer became totally acceptable with homosexuals accepting the term and even embracing it. Today they are referred to as LGBTQ and over the years they've added a nearly infinite collection of other combinations of vowels and consonants, but honestly isn't that enough? Lesbian Gay Bisexual (those who are attracted to both) Transgender and Queer. It's a lot to remember and it describes the same community; people who suffer from a mental illness that causes them to be attracted physically and mentally to people who are their same gender, also called same gender attraction. 

Today it is against the law to refuse to hire someone who is obviously a woman pretending to be a man or a man pretending to be a woman (a guy with a beard wearing a dress). Then it got really weird. In some states if a parent refuses to allow their child to undergo what is called 'gender affirming care' they can lose custody of their child in a child custody court case. If a boy in a public school wants to dress like a girl and be called a girl, including using a girl's name, the school is not allowed to notify the parents. Finally we are reaching a point where socially dating, which already has caused significant anxiety among some boys and girls since time began, has become even more scary since it is becoming increasingly difficult to know who's who, in too many cases adolescent boys are skittish about even talking to a 'girl'. 

Dating is becoming less frequent. Boys are staying home and playing video games or meeting at libraries. The goal of destroying America is coming to fruition. As soon as the enemies within can stop men and women from getting married and having kids America will be in a severe decline. It's population is already declining. Birth rates are not keeping up with death rates. Without immigration from foreign countries there won't be enough people to accomplish necessary labor. America needs people to fill positions at all levels. We need scientists and teachers and doctors and nurses and restaurants and people willing to work at every other level and American women are not giving birth at a sufficient rate. The face of America is changing. The language is changing. English is still the most common language, but in many areas English is barely spoken. Just in my area there is a city where all of the signs are in Korean, another where all the signs are in Spanish. A quick internet search revealed a comical observation that lgbtq "same sex couples have children at lower rates..." which shows just how much political power the same sex community has. The truth is that same sex couples don't "have children" at all without the help of the rest of the population. 

When I attended a public elementary school years ago I frequently heard teachers say, "Ok children, time to put on your thinking caps!" when we were either doing, or about to do, something stupid. For the benefit of those of us who were unfortunate enough to have democrat parents they took a few seconds to explain what the metaphor meant and how to make good use of it. My father was a JFK democrat who found something useful in both parties but didn't really like either one. So I say now to the hard core LGBTQ whatever supporters, "Ok children time to put on your thinking caps!" We have to emphasize the absolute fact that there are only two genders and that gender dysphoria occurs rarely but naturally in very few cases. When that occurs medical professionals and parents decide how to proceed. It happens at the time of birth and not when the child is eleven or twelve years old or older. It's important to emphasize that no one can change their gender. The only time gender confusion occurs is when people think they can change their gender then trick someone of their same gender into dating them. That is gender confusion and should be recognized as the crime of fraud. 

The only time the gender confusion promoted by the lgbtq crowd occurs is when a small group of people manages to manipulate other people into believing them by using an emotional appeal such as, "You can't help who you fall in love with!" when you really can. Why isn't confusing children so much that they don't know if they are a boy or a girl not considered child abuse? 

There are things in the universe we can depend on and the fact that all of us are born either male or female is the most important scientific fact there is. If you're confused about that it's because somebody confused you. Don't believe it. If you're a girl celebrate that and all the beauty it entails and if you're a boy celebrate that and all the beauty it entails. A couple of days ago I was at a local resort eating a hot dog and observing people around the pool when a couple of small children walked up to the locked gate a few yards ahead of their father who was a little slower being burdened with towels, toys, chairs and a cooler. The boy was about six years old and the girl was about four. The boy grabbed the bars and began violently shaking the gate and demanding that it open for him. The girl stood close by his side holding her towel and watching him. Pops was catching up saying, "Hold on! I'll be there in a couple of seconds!" We need boys and girls and moms and dads and we need to nurture them help them grow. Nobody made a mistake. There's nothing wrong with you. You are what you are so make the most of who you were meant to be. 

There is a God, listen to Him. He created all of us. If people tell you there is no scientific proof that God exists remind them that we are here and there's more scientific proof that there is a God than there is that God doesn't exist. We are created in His image. Male and female.

THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY?

If I were the President of the United States and I really wanted to do something stupid, I mean so stupid that it could never be undone no matter how utterly ridiculous it was, I'd invent a huge bureaucracy that was going to mushroom into a colossus that would add billions of dollars to the national debt while at the same time being given a task that was so vague that it would be impossible to measure its effectiveness. During the Sixties I worked for a guy who was a contractor. His specialty was tennis courts, but we did other concrete work as well and if he ever caught me with apparently nothing to do he used to tell me to "Do something even if it is wrong!" I was a teenager at the time and not very knowledgable about the world but even I knew that if I wasn't sure what to do one of the things I definitely should not do is unload a bag of sand into the gas tank of one of the company trucks. 

Enter George Walker Bush the 43rd President of the United States. I voted for him, but mostly because his opponent Arnold Albert Gore Jr. was on a crusade to demolish the American economy so that he and some of his friends could become billionaires by pushing products that don't even exist so he could save planet earth from catastrophically overheating, bursting into flames and killing everyone. He wrote a book called 'Earth in the Balance' after talking to a couple of 'scientists' who provided evidence that if certain things happened the earth could burn itself up in about ten years. The book was widely read but it didn't start the panic that Big Al needed to get his business off the ground. He already had tens of millions of dollars from the tobacco farm he inherited from his father, Arnold Albert Gore Sr. so he didn't really need the money that bad, but the opportunity to become a billionaire beckoned and he wanted it. 

Next he produced a documentary film called 'An Inconvenient Truth'. It was about how the polar ice caps were melting and glaciers all over the world were melting and in about ten years the whole earth would be flooded and everyone was going to drown. The photographs were doctored and the 'science' was questionable at best. It's been about forty years and all of the oceans are pretty much where they've always been. Al was very charismatic and he had been a senator for the state of Tennessee for a long time and had a lot of contacts. 

If I wanted to start a panic across the USA where would be a great place to get it going? You guessed it, public schools. They were taken over by the democrats over a period of about twenty years and they had small brains and big money and Al Gore was ready to pick their pockets. There are about 13,000 school districts in the country and that so-called documentary was shown in about 12,000 of them, all in democrat strongholds. I know I said that democrats controlled the public schools but there are a few who hadn't  been completely dominated at the time. The truth is I have no idea how many schools actually showed the film but it was enough to spread panic in many locations throughout the country. 

It was nonsense and I've never responded well to anyone who tries to get people to panic and that is what I think he was trying to do; start a widespread panic to help him implement strategies and laws that would help him reach that coveted 'billionaire' status. The vote was close and mostly because of that stupid documentary. I'm blown away by the stupidity of the average democrat. Fortunately the outcome was that Gore won the popular vote, but lost the heretofore ignored electoral college. America dodged a poison bullet. The problem was that GW was better but not by very much. He saddled us with a war in the Middle East that lasted about twenty years and a bureaucracy that we didn't need and we would quickly lose control of. 

On the morning of September 11, 2001, the United States was the target of a well planned and well executed terrorist attack. Four commercial air carriers were hijacked and flown into three high visibility targets along the east coast; the World Trade Center towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. Both of the tallest towers of the WTC collapsed and damage to the Pentagon was extensive. Almost three thousand people were killed. There was supposed to be a fourth target, but United Airlines flight 93 left Liberty Internal Airport from Newark New Jersey headed for San Francisco and was hijacked over Ohio. The aircraft changed course and was headed for Washington D.C. when the passengers learned via cell phones that there had been three other planes hijacked and each of them had been deliberately crashed into targets in New York and Washington D.C. They knew they were going to be used to commit a terrorist attack and decided to force the large jet to crash before reaching it's assigned target, heroically forcing their way into the cockpit and crashing into a farmers field in Pennsylvania. 

If I had been the directors of the FBI and CIA I would have resigned in disgrace the next day. The fact that they didn't see it coming is inconceivable. President Bush had been in office for about nine months and he was ready to go to war. On October 7 the United States and Great Britain began bombing sites around Afghanistan. The speeches President Bush made were precious. He promised to find out who was responsible and make them pay, which iars what should have happened, but it didn't. Intelligence sources said a guy named Osama Bin Laden was responsible. He was a billionaire from Saudi Arabia who hated the United States and was supposedly hiding in a cave in Afghanistan where he had organized training bases for terrorists. We believed him so let's go over there and get him right? 

If I wanted to totally screw up an operation to find a terrorist who had trained at least four men to hijack and pilot a jumbo jet I would be guided by outdated information on a known terrorist who was operating terrorist training camps in the remote mountains of Afghanistan where there was no access to any aircraft and no place to land one if there were. When this all happened I didn't have any idea that there were training bases in Afghanistan where terrorists received training in how to commit mass murder, but the CIA did. So did the FBI and none of that mattered. So the 'lowly field special agents' in Minnesota thought that it was unusual for Middle Eastern men to want to learn how to steer commercial jets and only wanted to practice joy riding in the sky, but the 'big guys' in D.C. said something like "Nah, you're just a bunch of racist pukes". The agents were 100% convinced that what they were documenting was bizarre enough to take a closer look and wanted a warrant to search his property that was seized when he was arrested for a visa violation. A guy with no flight training at all except for instructions on crop dusting in a manual in his possession and he paid $6800 in cash to learn how to fly Boeing 747's. And upon being introduced to the simulator he wanted to fly around New York Citya. Only an FBI guy with minimal investigative experience would fail to see a potential problem with that and that's how you make it to the top of the FBI or any other law enforcement agency frankly, you go to all the right parties, learn who drinks what, tell the best jokes and after a couple of years your on your way to the top.

It helps if you transfer multiple times too. That's how they know you're loyal to the 'Bureau'. You don't know a damn thing about invetigations, but you've learned a lot about different areas of the country and the rest of the world as well. Along the way you help with investigations enough to get your name on a couple and you interview for all the right jobs; and you never get in trouble. You never stay in one place long enough for anyone to notice anything unusual about you. So that's how a terrorist with a laptop computer containing names and numbers of other terrorists avoids being questioned prior to the worst attack by a foreign enemy since Pearl Harbor. So GW gets some weak intel about possible weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Sadaam Hussein used a poison gas to kill several dozen peoole he doesn't like and we are diverting the nain portion of the army in the area from Afghanistan to Iraq. 

What a great way to prolong a war. By now it's pretty clear that Osama Bin Laden has fled Afghanistan and is hiding somewhere else. May 1, 2011,  Osama Bin Laden was killed in a house in Islamabad Pakistan, That's ten years after the attack on New York City and Washington D.C. That's a long time. I guess it's a good thing too since the war in Iraq effectively ended in 2006 and now the army was in Afghanistan asking, "Who the hell is Osama Bin Laden? We're fighting the Taliban!" Since Osama Bin Laden was the mastermind of the 9/11 attack and several of his homies were already serving prison terms longer than two hundred years and now he's dead the military personnel in Afghanistan can go home right? The fights over. We won. 

Nope. President Bush isn't done yet. He wants regime change in Afghanistan so he has to defeat the Taliban. Nobdyy has ever beaten the Taliban for so many reasons that anyone with any military sense at all will leave them alone. In the 70's and 80's they were our friends. We helped them beat the snot out of the Russians. Then we left Afghanistan. President Bush kept the army there to do the impossible; "We'er 'Mericans, that's what we do. No Taliban gon' tell us what to do!" At least not until August 2021 when another president who was about as smart as GW decided to pull out. It was the most embarrassing moment for the United States since the panicked rout of American soldiers and Vietnamese civilians in 1975 Saigon. It could have been an orderly withdrawal if there had been anyone with any brains in charge, but it was a democrat show and it had to end bloody. Taliban closing in on the airstrips and planes taking off as fast as they could and a suicide bomber killed himself, 13 Marines and about two hundred civilians. The war President George W. Bush started and lost control of twenty years earlier was finally over and we didn't gain a thing. The Taliban won. They didn't defeat our military, they never could have done that. The only body that could accomplish that was the President of the United States working with Congress and a totally inept Pentagon command staff, but at least it was finally over. Unfortunately what should have been an orderly withdrawal turned into a panicked rout. A truly embarrassing moment for our country as the Taliban used a suicide bomber to kill 13 United States Marines and hundreds of innocent civilians. 

Every day they are endangering American citizens at home, here in the 'Homeland' as we call America now. The departments of Immigration and Customs enforcement and the Border Patrol now fall under the Director of the Department of Homeland Security which is actually ridiculous. The Director of Homeland Security has no idea what the training needs of those two departments are and they have been ordered to deport everyone who is in the country illegally which is no small task since people have been invited to come here illegally since at least the administration of GW Bush. In order to deport someone who is in the country illegally you have to first identify them and that involves doing a lot of homework. They can't target people because of their appearance for example. Or if they have an accent. The Border Patrol officers were chasing anyone who looked Hispanic and asking them where they were from and other questions that they had no right to ask. They were doing the same to people with heavy accents. Border Patrol officers were also covering their faces so nobody knew who they were and their uniforms were not uniform. They were wearing blue jeans and other color pants and t-shirts with various product logos emblazoned on the front,  even  their bullet proof vests were all different. Some said 'Police' others said 'Agent', or Border Patrol' (my favorite actually) so they could easily been impersonating law enforcement. There was no way to know. 

I watched the video recordings of the Border Patrol and ICE and it was embarrassing. They would jump out of their unmarked cars and start running toward people. Each in a different uniform, each with their faces covered and each of them carrying an automatic rifle. It was scary even to me. Most of those people came here from countries where even if they were being approached by law enforcement they ran because where they came from the police brutally beat people, robbed them or even killed them so yeah, they ran from our guys too because it was the only sensible thing to do. In a similar situation I probably wouldn't have run away, but I would've been nervous and I was born here and I'm a white guy with blond hair, blue eyes and a California accent. They need to prioritize, prisons first because they are the easiest to locate and many of the inmates who are here illegally are probably about to be granted parole or early release, and others are completing their sentences and need to be deported before they are released. After that you verify legal status at traffic stops and arrests. 

Training is so important to law enforcement because it helps them understand what their job is and it helps them accomplish their mission legally instead of giving them vague instructions, "Go out and arrest as many illegal aliens in a day that you can!" Orders like that require that the people involved be given special training on how to accomplish the mission because it is literally impossible to tell by looking at someone if they're in the country legally or not. The Border Patrol people have been chasing down anyone who isn't white basically. I don't think their racists they just haven't been given proper training. It will take longer to do it right, but doing it right is the only way to accomplish the mission. 

The DHS is grossly inefficient. They are a real danger to our way of life and should be disbanded and their current employees absorbed by the other federal law enforcement agencies if they meet the criteria. Some of them may lose their jobs and have to find a real job and that's ok too.
