DEATH TO ISRAEL!

Now isn't that a nasty thought. For some reason democrats are trying to get us to believe that there is a difference between Hamas and Palestine when they are the same. The only time there is a difference is when Israel is forced to answer an attack from Palestine. The Israelis always win and both sides suffer losses. When the smoke clears the entire world, the United States included, condemns Israel for overreacting. The United States is is a little more cagey about it, but it doesn't really stand with Israel. I hope not all Muslims are genocidal. Hopefully many of them are compassionate people who understand what the Jews have suffered and can let them live in peace. Obviously the Palestinians aren't such a people. Before anyone condemns Israel and accuses them of committing genocide they need to think about what the Jews have done. 

Israel clearly has a military advantage and could kill every single Palestinian if they wanted to, yet they are honoring a ceasefire and releasing over a hundred terrorists in exchange for a couple dozen hostages who were kidnapped during a violent unprovoked attack by a terrorist nation. I don't distinguish between Hamas and Palestine because in my mind there is no difference. In America's large cities people were dancing in the streets upon hearing the news of the attack on Israel. They celebrated while Palestinians were murdering babies, raping and murdering women and then parading their naked bodies on the streets and displaying them on the internet. Palestinians in the United States were doing the same thing. Those are the actions of barbarians and not civilized people. The Israelis have never acted like barbarians. 

Israel has launched a violent, but controlled attack in Gaza. Not against all Palestinians, but a large faction that calls itself Hamas. Israel is demonstrating once again how much they care about their own people who are being held hostage and used as human shields. Show me the video of Jews in Tel Aviv dancing in the street celebrating the death of Palestinians. You can't because Jews are civilized people and civilized people don't do that. It is possible that the IDF has killed some hostages who were being used by Hamas and that hurts them because they love their own people more than they fear the barbarians in Palestine. How many jews have walked into restaurants or bus stations in Palestine and blown themselves up because they hate Palestinians? None. Civilized people don't commit evil acts. Prior to creating a Palestinian state Jews were constantly suffering rioting and being attacked on the street by Israeli Arabs. Since the Palestinian state has been created Israel has suffered constant bombardment from Palestinians. The rocket attacks became so severe that Israel had to spend a huge amount of money on a missile defense battery that has been very effective at destroying incoming rockets before they hit the ground and this system has saved a lot of Israeli lives. 

Palestinians increased the intensity of the bombardment sometimes overcoming the capabilities of the Iron Dome batteries. Israel had to increase the intensity of their counterstrikes in an effort to destroy the missile sites that are mainly located in Gaza and Lebanon, and the world doesn't seem to care. The IDF is careful to avoid civilian casualties if at all possible. Even risking their own safety at times especially to avoid bombing hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings where civilians live. That isn't always possible and inevitably they do end up bombing those locations because that's where Palestinians hide their weapons and launch sites. I hope there are people in Gaza who are helping the IDF find the hiding place of terrorists many people want me to believe are are not Palestinians, but terrorists known as Hamas. If they are then there is a difference between Hamas and Palestine and Hamas must be wiped out for the sake of Jews and Palestinians in the region. 

If there is a difference then Homeland Security needs to watch the videos showing people in the United States celebrating the rape and murder of Jews and identify them and prosecute them under whatever anti terrorist statutes there are. Any of them who are here on temporary visas need to be expelled immediately. Any of them who are American citizens need to be prosecuted. The United States cannot afford to become a haven for international terrorists. We cannot support any organization that feels comfortable carrying a foreign flag and chanting 'death to America!' 

I am the first one to admit that Americans are becoming fat, dumb, and lazy. There is no doubt about it. That's most likely the reason why four year college degrees don't mean that much anymore. Especially in America and Western Europe kids are not learning math and science. They are learning about how important diversity is, and how important it is for everyone to be equal, and the importance of including everyone. Somehow about two percent of the population of the United States has convinced ninety eight percent that there are more than two genders. We are not male and female, but whatever we think we should be. I know that sounds stupid, but anyone who disagrees risks losing their job and their standing in the community. 

I don't actually know if they teach Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Israel, or if they support the values espoused by Critical Race Theory disciples but I doubt it. I know for a fact that Palestinians don't support any of that foolishness. In the United States anyone who isn't fully on board with both CRT and DEI is in real danger of being considered an outcast. I live in the People's Republic of California and soon my life may be in danger for not saluting the rainbow flag. I also go to church, read the Holy Bible regularly and support the Second Amendment. I stay here because I love the weather and over the years I have built a great home here. Forty years ago California was still part of America and I maintain a hope that soon the people here will wake up and reverse their suicidal course. Forty years ago cities like San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco were beautiful and exciting to visit. Today they are infested with drug addicts, filth, crime, public nudity and decay. 

The point of all this is that we used to be an intelligent society and innovators. We used to support Israel and if anyone dared to claim that the Holocaust never happened they were the people who were in danger of becoming outcasts and possibly even unemployable. The fact is that the Holocaust did happen. Millions of Jews were murdered over a period of a few years in Germany and other countries that had been brutally defeated by the German war machine. Many Jews ended up in the Middle East where they carved out a state for themselves that eventually became known as Israel. Many people today think Israel became an independent country on May 14, 1948. The fact is that Israel was referenced as many as three thousand years ago. The land of Israel is their home. The Palestinian people date back about twelve thousand years, but being nomads it is harder to define a land dedicated to them. 

Today Israel has reestablished their land and they want to live a peaceful existence in the Middle East. The only thing preventing peace is those people surrounding Israel and insisting that all Jews must be killed and then celebrating whenever a Jew or group of Jews is murdered. Arabs are constantly attacking and murdering Jews in Israel then they complain when their movements are closely monitored. Arabs in the region, along with a lot of American Democrats, accuse Israel of genocide every time they are forced to defend themselves and a few Arabs are killed in self defense. If the Palestinian people want a peaceful existence all they have to do is stop attacking Israel. 

Death to Israel is not the answer to the problem of peace in the Middle East. Advocating for the genocide of a group of people is never the answer. If there can ever be peace among the people in the Middle East it will happen after the Arabs stop their unprovoked attacks against Israel.

DECLARATION OF NORTH AMERICA (DNA)

For the past twenty years I have been warning everyone who would listen to me that we are in danger of losing our precious nation. Admittedly my megaphone is small and very few people have agreed with me and even fewer have thought we should de anything about it. Most of them, especially those who are caught up in the catastrophic climate change delusion, think I am the extremist and the alarmist. The fact is that about ninety percent of Americans have been lulled into thinking that America is a free country, and we are all safe and untouchable and that there is nothing to worry about except for catastrophic climate change, and more rights for the LGBTXYZ community. In other words it is vital that we give up our high standard of living because it is unfair for us to enjoy a comfortable standard of living when the people in Europe can't enjoy the same benefits we have. We also must, and this is vital to our survival as human beings, recognize that there is no such thing as biological males and females. There is essentially no such thing as human biology because it simply does not exist.

 For thousands of years parents used to wait in anticipation for the birth of a baby to find out first if the baby was healthy and then, "Is it a boy or a girl?" The doctor, nurse, or other person would smile at the mother and pronounce, "Congratulations mom, it's a...." and then the baby's gender would be announced. There were two possibilities; it was a  boy or a girl! Rarely there would be some confusion in the physical make up of the child that made it impossible tell for certain. Then at some point there was some same sex attraction. Boys would seek the companionship and affection of other men and women sought the same from other women. Was the attraction out of fear? Parental neglect or abuse? Of course such relationships were frowned upon, as they should be. It was seen as a mental illness, which it is. The situation turned around sometime around 1990 and we began to see men in some parts of the country holding hands while they walked along the sidewalks. They had to be careful because some people still made fun of them and on occasion they were physically attacked by those who saw what they were as completely abhorrent and in some cases sinful. I never condoned violence against people with same sex confusion, but I never accepted it as normal behavior either because it isn't. 

Then the unthinkable happened and in 2004 Massachusetts passed a state law legalizing same sex marriage. An act of abomination had now been blessed by an errant legislature out of a misguided sense of compassion. Gradually judges all over the country began to pass laws making same sex marriage legal in other states until in 2015 the United States Supreme Court passed a law declaring that same sex marriage was a civil right guaranteed by the Constitution. Groups across the nation were declaring, "You can't help who you fall in love with!" Just like that homosexuals now had the same marital status as people who weren't afflicted with the mental disorder known as same sex attraction. We used to believe that the Legislative Branch passed laws, but we were wrong; that power now resides with the United States Supreme Court. Members of the Supreme Court are not elected by the people. They are appointed by the President of the United States which has now deteriorated to the point that if a president doesn't like some of the rights guaranteed by the Constitution all he has to do is appoint judges that agree with him. Ruth Bader Ginsburg openly stated that she referred to the United Nations Charter and the so-called World Court when she rendered a decision regarding the constitutionality of an issue. 

Of course today we have to cater to the feelings of homosexuals so the DNA declares that all north American nations will ensure that homosexual rights will be guaranteed, including their right to pretend to change their gender. It's double-speak for all of us normal people must learn to celebrate with mentally challenged perverts who claim to have changed their sex from one to the other. If Davey decides he was never supposed to be a man and changes his gender and his name, we must accept his new 'identity' and even celebrate the fact that after all these years he finally figured out who he really was and now he'd appreciate it if everyone would refer to him as 'her' and recognize his new name is Dolly. Happy Day!

The other glaring abomination about this agreement is the part about all three major players working together to 'fight' climate change. I've said it over and over and half of the country agrees and the other half scoffs at me, but you cannot 'fight' climate change. The climate is going to change on a constant basis and their is nothing anyone can do about it. Democrats insist that if the American middle class would only have enough courage to destroy their way of living they could save the world, but they are too selfish to do it. If we were more noble we would sell our cars and ride the bus or walk or ride a bike. And if we are a family of four for example, we would live in apartments no larger than 1100 square feet. The American middle class is killing planet earth and they don't even care! The people who really care about the dangers of climate change own multiple mansions, travel in luxurious privately owned jet aircraft with global reach, and either drive large gas guzzling cars or are driven around by others. We are supposed to worship them because they are so selfless. They don't own those things as luxuries, they have to have a place to stay when they fly around the world making speeches about the dangers of climate change, or are 'studying' our environment looking for ways the rest of us can stop being so selfish and do our part to stop the climate from changing. It is a nauseating example of Americans actually worshipping wealthy people who are in fact giving them the Finger. We are on the brink of starting World War Three, a war that will ignite a vast nuclear exchange between warring nations and President Joe Biden and other elites still claim that climate change is the biggest threat facing the world today. 

There are six 'pillars' or main parts to the agreement, which supposedly for the security of all of North American countries. It guarantees among other things that people can migrate between the three countries freely, and provides for mutual defense from outside threats, it makes all kinds of promises between the three countries that are supposed to make them stronger and interdependent. Apparently it isn't working since people are pouring across our southern border by the thousands. If there is such robust economic growth in Mexico how come people don't want to stay there? If we are so determined to become equal immigration partners how come I still need a passport to drive through Canada to get to Alaska? And Canadians still need a passport to enter the United States, but anyone at all can cross the southern border from any country in the world? It states that the three countries will work toward functioning as one economically and socially and it specifically mentions the importance of granting special status to homosexuals. Of course it also stresses the importance of fighting so-called climate change. What that piece of paper really does is put the United States on the hook for a lot of unnecessary spending to prop up failing economies. George W. Bush was a big supporter of the idea but was never able to get it signed. Now, in January, 2023, a demented fool named Joey Biden, who also happens to be the President of the United States has signed it along with Prime Minister Trudeau, and Mexican President Lopez-Obrador. 

The Declaration of North America is actually concerned with three things; Illegal immigration. Democrats need to hide the fact that they need illegal immigration so they can nurture new democrat voters. Climate change. Democrats want to use their new 'constituents' to help them wipe out the American middle class via onerous regulations and taxes and force them to live in smaller houses, drive smaller cars, or, and this is the actual preference- ride dangerous buses and subways. Third they must protect homosexuals who want to change their gender. This too is not because they suddenly care about the feelings of homosexuals, but because they can exploit those feelings and turn them into die hard democrat voters, and it's working. Now my critics claim I am overreacting because the DNA is not binding upon any of the three countries involved because it is not a treaty but a set of goals the three countries have agreed to work on together. 

Nonsense; The danger of the so-called DNA is that it could become a precursor to such a treaty. The Biden administration is already way ahead of the other two countries regarding immigration. No one from a poor country needs to worry about entry into the good old U.S. of A, all they have to do is walk along the many well worn paths that lead from south to north. Both governments have been working together to make sure migrants have a clear map showing them the safest routes. The safest routes seem to lead to entry over the Texas border where they have to cross the Rio Grande, where on the north side the United States Border Patrol has set up a ferry system to help ensure that no one drowns crossing the river. For some reason, probably mostly because democrats are in charge, people must at least pretend to be sneaking across in broad daylight and actually have to get into the water before a Border Patrol boat can pick them up and bring them across where they are given a dry blanket and food and water.  

Joey, as our president frequently refers to himself, has opened up the southern border to anyone who wishes to enter the country. We have laws regarding immigration and if followed those laws allow people to immigrate to the United States and remain here legally. Those laws also help ensure that people who immigrate here aren't mass murderers wanted by their own or other countries, and that they are free of dangerous communicable diseases. Both of those protections are necessary to the protection of the citizens and legal residents of our country. Unfortunately the government of Mexico is not doing a very good job at helping to protect it's neighbor to the north. Thousands of people enter Mexico illegally from Central America and other parts of the world then travel north to the United States where they receive assistance from the Mexican government as well as the American government who ensures that they can travel safely across the river between the two countries and therefore don't have to enter legally via a recognized port of entry. If I were a terrorist or any person suffering a horrible communicable disease I would prefer the route recommended by the Mexican and American governments; meet the Border Patrol ferry waiting by the river, cross safely and avoid all the red tape.  

Although the DNA doesn't actually trade away our sovereignty it does pave the way to keep up an ongoing dialogue that could lead to some sort of mutual goals that encourage illegal immigration to continue or even close our ports of entry entirely. It actually does weaken our sovereignty. It stresses allowing people to cross the border into the United States without regard for American immigration laws, it weakens our economy by encouraging wasteful spending on climate change, which besides not being a danger to us it is also something we can't control. The DNA also weakens our families by encouraging the homosexual community to continue their reckless and damaging experiments with human biology.

AUDACIOUS CANDIDATE

I chose the t shirt with the mug shot and slogan, 'Never Surrender', in gray. I love this sort of audacity. The democrats have the audacity to charge Donald Trump with a crime because they disagree with his claim that there were substantial election irregularities in 2020. This is possibly the most dangerous election season we've ever had. For the first time in American history the president of the United States has been able to get the United States attorney general and the director of the FBI to use the power of their offices to keep an opposition candidate from running for office. 

It isn't working so they are getting prosecutors who are hostile to the Constitution to file false charges against an opposition candidate in an effort to intimidate him and keep him from running for office. It isn't working and they are getting desperate. They are actually willing to put an innocent man in prison for the rest of his life just so he won't be elected as president of the United States. I think that even if they are successful at getting him convicted and they have time to actually get him incarcerated Donald J. Trump will win the election. He will pardon himself and proceed to rescue America from a dangerous cabal of democrats who want to overthrow our government. 

I love a lot of things about Donald Trump. His courage for one. He could get them to drop all charges against him by dropping out of the election, but he won't do it. He won't do it for the simple reason that he loves his country and he won't just sit back and watch it disintegrate. He has a whole lot of money and unlike other public office holders he earned his money. He refused to be paid for being president. He donated every paycheck to some other organization. He isn't a polished speaker; he says what's on his mind then lets the listeners make up their minds if they like what he says or not. He went into the belly of he NATO beast and told them point blank that they weren't doing their share of the work. They weren't paying what they owed and it was going to stop if they wanted the United States to continue it's support. 

He told the runt in charge of North Korea that if he wanted to continue to have a country to torture he had to stop launching ballistic missiles all the time, especially over Japan. He told the terrorist in charge of the Taliban in Afghanistan that if he did anything to interfere with the American withdrawal from their country, the American military would stay and destroy the Taliban. The North Korean runt and the Taliban big shot both believed him. Finally he also let the dictators of Russia and China know what would likely happen if they attacked their neighbors. During the time Donald Trump was in the White House the world was a safer place to live because he had the audacity to let the world know that he was not prepared to allow people like Putin and Jinping attack Ukraine and Taiwan. He wasn't talking about military intervention either, he understands the sanctity of life and the importance of learning how to communicate with others from a position of economic and other strengths. Yes, the United States has great military power, but it's like a high interest credit card and should only be used as a last resort. Fools like Biden are small minded people who think they can bully dictators and it isn't that easy to do, as Biden is showing the world right now. 

We are spending billions of dollars and are getting ready to send military personnel into harms way and that is unacceptable. The Russian people aren't doing anything to bother the United States. They may be making an effort to re-unify the Soviet Union, but what they are doing is attacking a country that used to be part of the Soviet Union. I sympathize with the people of Ukraine and agree that whatever humanitarian aid they need should be offered. Military might should be used sparingly. The dictator of Russia needs to be warned of the consequences of his actions. Ukraine can, and possibly should, take to the streets and fight a guerrilla war and do whatever they can to make their acquisition too expensive, or they can sue for a ceasefire and find a  peaceful resolution to the conflict. American military might should be used sparingly if at all. In today's world that is so economically connected I don't understand why dictators with a lot of military power, but little else can be allowed to invade a neighbor without regard to consequences. 

Donald Trump had the vision to understand the importance of producing our own oil and becoming energy independent. He kept inflation under control and mortgage rates low. He was prepared to help the European Union supply their energy needs at a low cost to them and a profit to American companies. Somehow democrats think that's bad. It's not bad; it's smart. The EU foolishly trusted the Russian dictator and allowed him to complete a natural gas pipeline to supply their needs. In addition to funding his invasion of their eastern neighbor, Ukraine which has cost them far more than they would have paid if they'd followed President Trump's plan. The United States needs to face up to the fact that they have listening posts around the world, but no allies. Only Donald Trump had the audacity to explain to our NATO listening posts that they were not paying their share of expenses for their own defense. He had the audacity to get out of the so called climate accords, refusing to waste billions of dollars to 'fight' something that is not a threat. 

Only president Trump had the audacity to tell the world that he represents the United States of America and not the rest of the world. He had the audacity to tell all world leaders that they should love their country more than any other. He had the audacity to tell the world that it is not a bad thing to love your country, that everyone should love their country and be loyal to their country. The United States of America was once a mighty nation, but it has become a nation in decline, foolishly wasting it's resources on despots around the world. Donald Trump was a great president who began the task of rebuilding America and helping it regain its place as the undisputed leader of the free world. Hopefully Americans will support him in 2024. The world needs him.

INSURGENCY?

A couple hundred people forced their way int the Capitol building and it's a major rebellion against America and the police murder an unarmed rioter. Thousands of democrats burn and loot and destroy multiple city blocks in major cities, impede traffic, destroy people's cars, set fire to a Federal building in Portland, and it's a 'Summer of Love'. Americans have got to come to grips with a basic undeniable truth; Lawlessness has got to be stopped. We cannot live in a peaceful and clean country as long as we continue to accept criminal behavior as normal or otherwise acceptable. 

Anyone who damaged or destroyed property at the Capitol building on January 6, 2020 should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Anyone who attacked a police officer no matter how minor the injuries, or even if the police officer was not injured should also be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Anyone who was involved in pre-planning an attack on the Capitol building should be imprisoned for as long as possible. No one should be allowed to destroy government property, and no one should ever make excuses for people who riot, destroy property, prevent other Americans from their own pursuit of happiness, or stop commerce, prevent other people from going home from work at the end of their stressful work day. None of that should be allowed or excused as "Legitimate exercise of their first Amendment right to freedom of expression." 

We also have to agree to talk to each other about issues that are important to us and we need to care about the concerns of others. We need to learn to be compassionate and appreciate the fact that we live in the greatest country in the history of the world and that didn't happen without a lot of hard work and dedication. What happened at the Capitol building was not an insurgency at all. It was a peaceful demonstration that was hijacked by a bunch of lunatics.  And it looks like some of those lunatics may have desired to injure some people, but were so poorly organized that they completely failed. Unfortunately the FBI has done such a poor job of investigating that we will never know what actually occurred. They may have even been involved in the violence that took place. There is credible evidence that the director of the FBI as well as the attorney general of the United States have cooked up some sort of plan to destabilize the country. For one thing they refuse to answer questions about FBI operatives who were present and participated in the destruction of Capitol grounds property that day.  

If what happened at the Capitol building on January 6th when fewer than two hundred unarmed men and women forced their way into the Capitol building and only succeeded in getting one of their own killed was an attempt to overthrow the government, as many democrats are claiming, then what about the riots that took place all across America in the wake of the accidental killing by the police of a thug named George Floyd? The poorly organized morons who rioted at the Capitol caused about $1.5 million in damages according to the Capitol police. Since they are partisan against Donald Trump and are trying to prove he led a rebellion, along with the fact that the feds always pad their estimates, you can probably cut that number in half. The George Floyd riots, promoted by the democrat party, killed about twenty five people, caused up to two billion dollars in damage, and stopped all commerce in several major American cities has been characterized as mostly peaceful protest that was hijacked by a handful of troublemakers. 

The Floyd riots was an insurgency that is still in progress. Seattle and Portland are still war zones where people feel completely unsafe. They ran all of the decent police officers out of town so now they are stuck with substandard police investigators. It was democrats who wanted to 'defund' the police departments, one of the most important organizations we have. In Los Angeles and San Francisco department stores are locking their doors and leaving because democrat laws favor shoplifters over shoppers who actually spend money. And the democrats aren't going to stop their assault until they accomplish their goal. They want to install a monarchy and set aside the Constitution. In their view the Constitution may have been a great document at one time, but now it is outdated and badly in need of reform.

We better wake up before it's too late.

Natural Order

Ever since George Washington decided to be a two term president there have been political differences between certain groups of people in America. That's natural since even though we all may see the same problem or set of problems sometimes we have differences of opinion about how to solve those problems. Problem solving is important and working together the various groups found ways to respect each other's opinions and find solutions. Usually the problem was how much money should be spent on a problem. How should a road be repaired and how often? How much money should be spent on people who have lost their jobs or can't work for some reason? How many city vehicles can a city afford to buy and what brand should they buy? 

Politicians would argue about the size of police and fire departments, how to provide assistance to people who'd lost their jobs, and how long that assistance should last. Conservatives have always maintained that any assistance should be for a limited duration, democrats have sought to keep people dependent on government assistance for as long as possible. Each side could provide their view of a problem then decide on a solution and the best way to pay for it. Or whatever the problem was, but now democrats have embarked upon a trek for which there is no room for compromise. They are actively promoting the idea that no one knows if they are a boy or a girl on the day they were born. Soon they will be making up scientific explanations about the function of cells in the human body and test animals and even in plant life. They will probably try to change the way we view DNA, and other important building blocks. 

Democrats are always talking about trusting the science, but only when they're using the climate change scare to force us to agree to policies that will ruin our economy and lower our standard of living. If electric is so great show us what we are missing. Sell us on the technology and let us choose what we would rather have. Experience has shown that if you build a better mouse trap people will buy it. Build a better alternative to fossil fuels and people will use it and the new product will catch on and everyone will benefit. That's another part of human nature. We like it when someone offers us a better alternative to what we've always done. Cable and satellite TV replaced the old antennae on the roof and nobody misses the old technology at all. We no longer have fuse boxes on our houses, or vacuum tubes in our televisions. There are thousands of examples. How many of us want to give up on our microwave ovens? That's the natural order. Forcing people to do something they don't want to do is not natural. People prefer to be given a choice instead of being told what to do and we to do it. Democrats want to change the natural order. They want us to believe they can stop the climate from changing. They also want us to believe that there is no science involved in identifying the difference between a boy and a girl. Worse they want us to believe that we can change our nature from one gender to another, which cannot be done. The truth is that democrats have increased their attack against human nature. Girls and boys don't want to use the same bathrooms or the same locker rooms. They don't want to shower together either. The reason for that is that they know there are some very important differences between boys and girls that need to be respected.  

There is a natural order in everything we do. If you spend more money than you bring in you will run out of money. If you go out in the rain you will get wet. If you cannot afford to buy food to eat you will go hungry. If you were born a male, you're a male, and the same goes for girls. If you are a boy and you stink at sports the solution is not to pretend you are a girl. The solution is to find something you can do well. Unfortunately pretending is something at which democrats excel. They are very good at self deception. If you have any sense at all you know the difference between boys and girls isn't just genitalia. There are deep differences between boys and girls. Democrats know that but there is power in convincing people that there is no such thing as the Human Condition. There is no God and we only have the civil rights that powerful men are willing to give us. 

Americans have to learn to trust their own observations, and rely on their own experiences. Democrats have consistently supported legalizing narcotics and prostitution. That is probably why they are strong proponents of abortion. They want to indulge in their sexual fantasies with multiple women, but if one of them gets pregnant they do not want to take responsibility for the child. Men in the democrat party don't care about women's rights or what they do with their own body. They want women to share their 'own body' with them and they don't want any troublesome byproducts of their sin. In the past they always supported legalizing prostitution and narcotics as well since according to them those are victimless crimes. Now they still honor the profession of prostitution, but it is no longer fashionable to support drug abuse so democrats are claiming that they want to stop the flow of illegal narcotics into the country while at the same time they are protecting the corridors that are used to smuggle illegal and dangerous narcotics into America. 

There are two forces that are constantly working on every person ever born in the world. Those forces are good and evil. We are all constantly making choices about our behavior and what are our boundaries. The forces of evil are controlled by Satan and the forces of good are controlled by God. Democrats want people to believe that if there is a god, He doesn't care about sexual purity or how we treat our own bodies, and there is no such thing as sexual sin, but there is. They spend a lot of time telling us there is no such thing as sin at all and if there is a God He will forgive us for all of our sins because he loves us. That is a complete lie. It is important to remember who is the author of all things and that is God. He created the universe in which we live and He set apart this earth for his children for a place of learning. We were all born according to the natural order of God's universe; male and female. Science is the study of the universe in which we live, especially the planet we call home. We didn't create science, God did and he expects us to use the earth wisely and learn all we can about it.

As human beings we are God's children and whether we know it or not we depend on Him for everything. He hasn't left us alone to fend for ourselves he has given us a pattern to follow. The first people on the earth were Adam and Eve, a man and a woman. That is the natural order of the universe and no one can change it because it is eternal. Those who study the Word of God know that we lived as spirit children before we were born into mortal life and this mortal life is a very short period of time in our eternal existence. When this mortal life ends we continue to live and grow and learn. Learning never ends and that is 'science'. Most of us at various times in our lives think we are in charge of our destiny and we are to a certain extent, but only in that we have the freedom to choose the kind of life we want to live. A loving God gave us the freedom to choose between right and wrong. The only thing we don't get to choose is to do nothing. As long as we are here on this earth we are given the opportunity to live a life of good or evil. Everyone who is born has a mission to accomplish during our life time. Some of us live longer than others. Some of us die as children and some of us live to be a hundred years old, or maybe a few more. And sadly some of us are killed in the womb before being given the chance to live a full mortal life. 

There is no such thing as changing the natural order of our lives, beginning with the most basic of life's experiences; we are all born male or female. There are no other genders. No extra identifiers are necessary we are all boys and girls forever. Our task is to learn how to be the best boys and girls we can be. The real 'science deniers' are those who preach the fallacy that we can choose. A loving God makes that choice before we are born into this mortal existence. Some people claim they can stop the climate from changing, but they can't. They claim that climate change is the greatest threat to our survival, but it isn't. The greatest threat to our survival is failure to obey God's commandments. There is order in the universe. 

We were boys or girls before we were born and when we leave this mortal life we will still be boys and girls. We never cease to exist. That is science. What has any scientist ever actually created? All they can do is study things that have already been created. Scientists have made great discoveries and helped us understand the universe in which we live, but many of them have let their learning go to their head and somehow they've convinced themselves that they have created something. Too many of them are trying to prove that their is no God and the universe was not created by any superior being but it just happened and that is actually reckless.

There is a record of the creation of the universe that is pretty much universally accepted by people all over the world. Some societies teach it differently, but there are remarkable similarities in many of them. I don't understand why some people are so offended by people who believe in God. People who try to prove that there is no God are wasting valuable resources and precious time. Every time some genius thinks he has disproven the Biblical account of the universe that person finds out there is another question that can't be answered by their new discovery. Most of science is done by using a hypothesis; something that can be used to explain the way things work. The biblical account of the creation actually is the only hypothesis that explains how we came to be. We are here and we were put here by God. He doesn't tell us exactly how he did it, just that he did it. Maybe if scientists spent more time trying to figure out how it was done they'd be closer to understanding how the universe actually works. Sometimes a hypothesis has to be put aside for a time. Not forgotten, just kept on a back burner to percolate for awhile. As people who study science go about their daily pursuits they have that "AHA!" moment and that hypothesis resurfaces and it can be accepted, rejected, or modified.

The idea that any discovery about the environment in which we live is "settled" is impossible because no one knows everything and no one ever will know everything. For any person to scoff at a person who believes in God and claim that there is no God is patently absurd. I don't understand why otherwise intelligent and even caring people become angry when the subject of deity is introduced. They have no problem telling others how stupid it is to believe in a Creator, then become angry when another person tries to explain why they believe there is a God. If they'd listen they might even learn something. How can you know if there is or is not a God unless you put His word to the test? We can't see him so he doesn't exist? I'm not sure I can actually prove that God created the universe, but I can offer lots of evidence. I can also state with complete confidence that I have tested the promises made in the Holy Bible and found them to be true. On the other hand I've read the findings of scientists, particularly those who claim to have proven that God doesn't exist and found their evidence is non existent. 

Having weighed the evidence for and against the existence of God, I have to conclude that He does exist. No reasonable person can conclude with any certainty that there is no god. We can see the universe we live in all around us and we can feel the planet earth under our feet. We can see it and we can touch it, we can even taste it if we wish, so we know it's here, and we know who created it. The author of all science created it and that's how we all got here. That is the natural order of the universe and no man can change it.

WHO TOLD US HOW TO DRESS?

Who started the dress code that Americans and most Europeans lived by for at least hundreds of years? It wasn't my mother, who told me how to dress for about fifteen years, when I started to try and get her to let me pick out some of my own clothes, but even then I didn't push back very hard. She was after all, my mother. Like it or not she was still the person cooking most of my meals and driving me to school and church and just about any other place I needed to be, or wanted to be. Movie on Friday night with my friends? I didn't want to walk five miles to the theater so mom took me. She wasn't afraid to remind me either. She lived through the Great Depression. By every account I've ever heard from people who lived through the Great Depression it wasn't any fun. So I got to be reminded occasionally, not too often, but often enough that I didn't forget, that mom and dad had both survived the Great Depression. 

They were also farmers who escaped to the city after World War II. Did I ever hear them brag about the war effort? When I wasn't being reminded about the Great Depression I was being fed stories about World War II and all the sacrifices Americans had to make in order to ensure The United States of America won the war. Patriotism was huge in the house where I grew up. Don't like it here, Don't like the USA? Then leave. It's far too precious a place to waste on those who are too ungrateful to appreciate it. You were allowed to complain about some new program, or against government abuse like reckless spending habits, or inadequate maintenance of city facilities. Poor police response, but not about the country as a whole. Disagreements are inevitable, but if you wanted to burn the flag or refuse to repeat the flag salute or stand for the National Anthem then as far as they were concerned you weren't welcome here. 

If I had ever told them I wanted to join a demonstration against the flag or if I didn't like the rules of our home, dropped out of school, or refused to work they would have said, 'We love you son, but no one is holding you here against your will. We have rules in this house and until you can afford to make it on your own you will live by those rules.' They meant it too. So when mom went shopping for clothes I didn't have much to say about style or brand name. If I was lucky I could pick the color, but I had to be careful about that too. And my mom frequently used examples of farmers when 'helping' me pick out clothes. Many of those are my favorite stories.

"Nope, you can't wear that, those are the type of clothes field hands wear and my kids are not going to school dressed like hicks." My mom had been a 'hick' and she was tired of that life and none of her kids were going to dress like that. She let us know that she didn't care what other kids were wearing. If their moms wanted them to look like that, that was their problem, not hers. Or mine evidently. In her defense during my teen years most schools had a dress code. Not uniforms those were for private schools and military personnel, not my moms kids. No, there were restrictions. Boys could not wear denim pants for example, and girls had to wear a dress or a skirt and not a short skirt either (no street walkers in our schools). 

"It is a distraction for the boys to see girls showing off too much of themselves, no one dared talk about a girls 'body' in those days (no vulgarity either). Skirts had to be at least two inches above the knee. And yes, there were some teachers and administrators who would use a ruler to measure if they suspected a violation. I've heard stories about some educators making girls kneel in the hallway so they could measure from the floor up thus ensuring a more accurate measurement. That never happened at my school and I hope it was never accepted practice at any school. I have no doubt that there were a couple of jerks somewhere in this vast country who were that stupid and hopefully the girls' fathers met them later for a severe 'counseling' session if the violator were a man and a slightly less intense, but still memorable, scolding for a female violator. 

So mom had to somehow satisfy the school requirements, make sure we didn't look like we 'just came off the farm', and we still maintained a little dignity among our schoolmates. The latter being the least important. There were some parents in our area who had also survived the difficulties of the Great Depression and World War II and were more traumatized by those events than others. It seemed to me that they were mostly from some of the larger cities around the Great Lakes and New York. Listening to their stories I think they may have had it worse than a lot of farmers, even farmers who were poor. My mom for example lived on a farm in a remote area of the state of Idaho. By the 1930's some areas in the state of Idaho had electricity, but not all. She lived in a house on a farm in an area with no electricity or running water. Their house was about 900 square feet and had two bedrooms; one for my grandparents and one for their nine children. The two oldest were boys, then a couple of girls and another boy and then mom, six girls, three boys, and a blind father. 

Even to a knucklehead like me that sounded like a hard life. I was living in a small city in Southern California in a stucco house with four bedrooms, a living room, a family room, a fireplace, three bathrooms, and wall to wall carpeting. In every room. And a swimming pool in the backyard, and we were on a hill so I had a great view of the city, especially at night. Mom's house had a dirt floor and don't think she didm't mention that a couple of times. She wasn't into guilt though. She was into clean living and hard work. She also told me that one thing they didn't experience much on the farm was lack of food and they had a clean well and a good stove. In the city they had rationing. Food, clothing, tires, gasoline, lots of things were rationed and everyone was issued some sort of ration card, or sticker for their car, or other vehicles, which although not that many people could afford one, cars were also in short supply. All of the materials used to make cars had to be used to build ships, and tanks and troop transports and airplanes big and small, and uniforms and rifles, machine guns and bullets and bombs, and the troops had to be fed so canned foods disappeared from the shelves so they could send C-rats to the troops. Everyone was expected to help with the 'war effort' and everybody did. If anyone complained they were practically shunned by all of their neighbors who were getting 'condolence' telegrams from the President of the United States just about every day. 

In four years there were almost 500,000 military men and women killed fighting against tyranny overseas in order to make sure it didn't come here to mom's beloved America. And almost 700,000 came home with severe wounds, missing eyes, ears, arms and legs, or a foot or a hand, or a nose. And I was brought into this world by parents who'd lived through that. If you didn't salute the Flag you were dirt, or a commie, which I think was worse than dirt. She said that being a dirt poor farmer in Idaho had some perks too. Because they were farmers and her father was blind her brothers were not only exempt from the draft, they couldn't fight if they wanted to, "What's the matter with you boy! There are boys overseas who are fighting and dying and you don't want to help feed them? You get back to that plow and you grow the best crops you can so they've got something to eat! And don't come simpering to us anymore. We know what we're doing." One of her brothers did want to join the army because he was tired of farm life, it was boring, and he wanted to see a big city, but Uncle Sam wouldn't take him. 

I'm not exactly sure why one of them couldn't go, there were lots of boys from farms who were drafted into the army, or at least allowed to join during the War. The government had a quota system based on algorithms and things I don't understand and it could be that the ratio of girls to boys was off and the blind father, but mom said that just because they were girls didn't mean they lounged around the house all day cooking or something. There was lots to do and a farm keeps you busy. Anyway, her brothers didn't get drafted and they worked the farm. And shortly after the war ended two of the boys did leave the farm. One graduated from a university and became a teacher for almost twenty years before purchasing a farm of his own in Wyoming and returning to a life he had decided was not that bad after all. He got tired of the big city life and returned to farm life. It was different this time because he and his wife had saved enough money teaching school that they could afford a more comfortable farm than those they each had grown up on. They both lived long lives as 'gentleman farmers' in Wyoming and their farm was prosperous. 

So between the War Years and the Great Depression I was in a pickle. My classmates with parents who fled the filth and noise of the big city and were tired of things like rationing and curfews and other regimentation associated with city life, didn't really care what there kids wore. 

"Hell! Let 'em wear whatever they want!" They were so happy to be living in a place that had all of the comforts of the big city without the noise, crime and dirt that they just wanted to relax and enjoy life. Plus there were jobs to be had that paid real money. No more hawking fruit on the corner or running errands for the local market, or driving a beat up truck for some farmer on the outskirts of the city. The big shots in those days in the big cities were the few who wrangled jobs driving the city bus or some other government job. In California manufacturing was just getting started. There were lots of farms, but small cities were popping up everywhere. And large firms were hiring engineers and architects and there were oil refineries that paid big bucks. 

Life was good. People were getting paid enough to live a good life and the truth is people were happy. Many of them had learned things in the military that made them valuable to American corporations back home. People were dreaming big. We'd been looking at the moon for years and kind of, in an off handed way, wondering what it was like there, but the guy who lived across the street from us saw it differently; he was going to send a team of astronauts there and he worked for an aerospace company that was going to help him do it. And the year I got my driver's license they did do it. 

That was the backdrop I was living in while my mom was still basically dressing me. I put them on, but my mom told me what clothes I was going to wear. Kids whose parents came from the chaos of the grimy cities could wear whatever they wanted; kids whose parents came from the order of farm life wore what mom told them to wear. I wasn't the only one. I had some friends in the same boat. Girls from both backgrounds wore dresses or skirts with blouses and those blouses were properly buttoned if they had buttons and if it was some sort of pull over top they fit properly. No tight sweaters or even sleeveless and especially no bare bellies. Today girls go to high school wearing hot pants and a bra. We could actually use a few more moms who aren't afraid to teach their girls about appropriate dress. 

The question still nags at me; who told us how to dress? I'm not a student of fashion history, but I'm going to take this from the beginning of life. Life began in the Garden of Eden. Democrats unfortunately will lose interest entirely at this point since there is no such thing as the Garden, Adam and Eve or even God. Adam and Eve broke a major rule and were kicked out of their house and had to learn how to take care of themselves. Heavenly Father loves all of us but he has rules and He expects us to obey his rules. He also has taken great pains to make sure we know what those rules are so we know how to stay out of trouble and earn our way back into His house and enjoy an eternity continuing to learn from Him. With that in mind when Heavenly Father made them leave the garden paradise He created for them he gave them instruction on what to do. He didn't just yell at them and tell them to go fend for themselves, he told them they would now have to work for their existence. We know they received instruction because after Heavenly Father made them leave the Garden he made sure clothes were made for them to protect them from the elements. There had to be someone who explained to them what the clothes were for and how to wear them and even how to repair them when they were torn and replace them when they wore out. 

Thus began the world of fashion. We are told they had clothing made of skins to keep them safe in their new environment. It seems likely that Adam and Eve were shown how the process worked and for the first time they witnessed the death of one of their animals. It would have been the first death they had ever witnessed. I'm sure they were given a variety of other instructions as well. They needed to know how to till the earth, how to cook, every survival tool necessary for then to stay alive had to be taught to them. They were commanded to populate the earth, to have offspring and to teach them right from wrong. Since there was no one else around to teach them, Adam and Eve taught their children how to dress. Their children taught their children and after several years there were a lot of people dressing themselves after the manner they were taught by our original parents. 

Since God himself stated he created people in his own image; male and female, that must have been the way it was and Adam and Eve set the tone for the difference in dress between boys and girls. Nobody knows how many years ago that was, but it was a very long time ago, and although I'm sure clothing trends and styles have evolved over the years, there was always a standard of dress that set men and women apart from each other and it worked perfectly well from the days of Adam and Eve until now. So who's to say that Mother Eve and Father Adam made a mistake? And when did this rebellion begin? What rebellion? The rebellion that tells boys and girls, and men and women to cross dress; to go against nature and try to justify it. 

That is another topic for another essay. For now let's remind ourselves and each other that God is a God of order. There is order in the universe and when we find ourselves acting in a way that goes against that natural order God is not behind it, there must be another source. Who told us how to dress? Mother Eve and she taught her children how to dress and that manner of dress has been preserved through the ages. It is important to understand the order of the universe and our role in it. Eve did not put her sons in dresses and her daughters in Pants and she taught them to dress differently for a reason. Fashion as changed over the years, but boys and girls have dressed differently from each other forever and that's the way it should be. Mother Eve taught her children how to dress, and how to act, and what the roles of boys and girls were. Today a lot of people think they can change the way God made them. It cannot be done. Trying to change our nature is contrary to the order of the universe and an offense against God.

Is Disney done?

To celebrate the 100th birthday of Mickey Mouse, Robert Iger has lost about a billion and a half dollars of Disney value. That's pretty impressive. I'm no businessman so I probably could have lost even more than that, but without the flare and happiness of Mr. Iger. Imagine Mickey Mouse in a dress holding hands with Minnie. It looks like there are a lot of people who are repulsed by that image. It isn't just me. I've been right about the LGBTQXYZ fantasy; a lot of people don't want their kids to grow up confused about something so important as human biology.

 Iger has gambled the future of perhaps the most successful American company ever. I was always a fan of Disneyland and I have a lot of good memories of what it used to be, and still claims to be, the Happiest Place on Earth only it isn't anymore. I used to work there in 1972. It was a great place to work and play. It was exciting to be a part of the Disney organization. They were alive with new ideas and the atmosphere was filled with creative people with great minds who could do just about anything. In many ways fantasy came alive The artists and engineers at Disneyland were magicians. They never thought they could change basic biology or human anatomy. It's changed a lot since then. For one thing the main goal used to be keeping guests happy like the slogan says. Now the main goal is to make money. Everything is about money. It feels a lot like Las Vegas to me now. Plastic and fake and expensive. 

I'm not sure Walt Disney would approve of the new Disneyland, not that he would have opposed homosexuality, but he would have recognized the fact that the majority of people are made uncomfortable watching men wear women's clothing so he wouldn't have allowed his Disney characters to wear dresses if they were men. Or put on make up to make themselves look like women, which if you have any honesty left in your being you'll admit that a man trying to use make up to look like a woman just looks weird. Walt Disney wouldn't want Disney characters looking weird or intimidating.  

Disneyland is too crowded and overpriced, and even divided between 'haves' and 'have nots'. people who can afford to pay extra to move to the front of the line get special treatment, and on top of that to be greeted by a man who is wearing make up on his face and wearing a dress in an effort to try to look like a woman, Disneyland has been transformed into something unique but far from inviting, and hardly the 'happiest place on earth'. I'm done with Disneyland. And it looks like I'm not alone. It's a real shame because Disneyland used to be a place where everyone felt welcomed. That's all changed now. If I have to change everything about who I am and pretend that a man can actually become a woman, and a woman can actually become a man then I am not welcome in the Magic Kingdom. Like Camelot, Disneyland has descended into a dark world of greed and mistrust. King Arthur trusted people to act decent to one another and in the end the prosperity overcame their good judgement. 

Like Lancelot, Roger Iger has destroyed Walt Disney's Camelot because his greed and lust have overpowered the vision that became Disneyland and Like Camelot Disneyland is falling apart. It's a sad end to a once great place where people could forget the cares of the world for a few hours and just enjoy the many great things that made Disneyland The Magic Kingdom.
