Have you been censored or fact checked by the fact checkers on Facebook?

These are people who doesn’t care about the facts. If they don’t like what you have to say they will blocked you by cancelling you out. During the Pandemic, these fact checkers were quite busy fact checking out facts they don’t agree with from Hunter Biden’s brief case to Covid virus to the vaccine.

Facts don’t care about your feelings. It seems like more and more these days, people are overly sensitive.

A good journalist sticks to the facts and do their research. I’m not saying they don’t get emotional though. When Walter Cronkite reported on man landing on the moon for the first time, he had tears of joy in his eyes. Just like when he reported on President Kennedy being assassinated, he had tears in his eyes as well but not of joy.

If you remembered when Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in 2016, the fake mainstream news media was so choked up that they couldn’t actually reported the news.

In Proverbs 18:13, ” Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish.” Some of the wisest thing to say is “I don’t know.” Yet today because of Social Media, so many are posting information without knowing all the facts. They are going by their feelings instead. As Jack Nichalson said in “A Few Good Men,” “You want the truth, you can’t handle the truth.”

If history repeats itself, and the unexpected happens, how incapable must man be of learning from experience.

America was built on the foundation of free speech, liberty in personal action, and freedom from violence and governmental tyranny. Yet it seems more and more lately people are under attack if they do not like your views. Some are cancelled. Charlie Kirk was assassinated because they didn’t like his viewpoints. It kind of reminds me of the book, “1984,” and it scares the hell out of me. If my blog was bigger, I would have a target on my back as well.

We should be willing to defend our neighbors in a peaceful expression of their rights. We should learn to just get along and accept each other no matter what their viewpoints are.

As long as that light continues to unite us, America will emerge ready, as always to fight that darkness.

Our society has sympathy for victims of bullying as it should.

Americans on both sides ought to decipher facts and then fight over narrative. That’s what decent politics would look like.

Even Bobby Kennedy Jr. was censored and fact checked because those on the Left didn’t like what he wrote on Dr. Fauci and the vaccine.

I may share my opinions through my blogs, but I also try to back it up with facts as well. If I don’t know something, I will do research on it before actually writing on the topic. Sometimes, I may choose not to write on a certain topic without having enough facts to back me up.

It’s because of what I learned about journalism to make me a better writer. There’s not many good journalist out there these days. Journalist with integrity.

If you don’t agree with the facts that’s your problems. My blog is not just my opinion; but also facts as well.

You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink it. Just like you have every rights to either agree with what I say or disagree. We need to accept each other’s viewpoints. It just seems that is not the case anymore. I think that Social Media is to blame for all the hate in the world today.

Charlie Kirk didn’t promoted hate, he promoted love. I don’t promote hate either.

In the end, Love wins. We just have to accept one another viewpoints and get the past the hate.

Have you noticed that Monday seems to get a bad rap for being the worse day of the week? People seems to hate Monday. When you go back to work after the weekend, you find lots of work needed to get done. It’s like when you come back from vacation and the first day back is very hectic.

When the alarm clock wakes you up on Monday morning from a deep sleep, you wish it was still Sunday. When you get to work on Monday, you will find a mess of work needed to get done as you get started. Sometimes, you may want to turn around and go back home. You know that it sure is Monday by the extra workload.

You wake up dog tired , beaten down from a wild weekend. You drink your coffee just to wake up. You make it through the day by the skin of your teeth after all the extra work you had.

Then come Tuesday; which is known as “Taco Tuesday.” Businesses have advertised tacos on Tuesday at least 1933. The first known use of the phrase “Taco Tuesday” was in 1968. Usually on Taco Tuesday, you can get 2 for 1. This is to help your week goes better.

By the time Wednesday comes around, it’s known as “Hump Day.” “Hump Day” is a slang term for Wednesday, referring to it as the middle point of the standard 5-day workweek. The name comes from the idea of climbing over a metaphorical “hump” on this day, meaning that once you get past Wednesday, the rest of the week is downhill toward the weekend. The symbol for “hump day” is a camel.

Then when Thursday comes around, it’s known as “Thirsty Thursday.” “Thirsty Thursday is a pseudo-holiday celebrated on Thursdays, involving drinking alcohol and partying. As though we need another reason to drink alcohol. By Thursday, after a rough week at work, you’re ready for a drink to relax.

As Alan Jackson sang, “It’s 5:00 somewhere.” I mean there’s a reason why we drink.

Now for the best day of the week. Can I get a drum roll please? Can I get an Amen too? That day goes to Friday. Some people would even works half day on Friday. When Friday rolls around, we say, “It’s finally Friday.” We would say, “Thank God it’s Friday (TGIF)”

It’s finally Friday, I’m free again. I’m ready for a wild weekend. Yet, by Monday, I’ll be hurting with my head in a vice. Tuesday, I’ll be wondering if I’ll ever survive. Wednesday and Thursday, I’ll be slowly tuning in.

This all leads to working for the weekends. It’s called “working for a living.” We all got to do it. Ever since Adam and Eve sinned against God, it has been our curse for our disobedience. We work from dawn to dusk, making a living. We can’t avoid working. We all have to pay taxes and we all will die. Until then we have to work 9 to 5 just to make a living. We looks forward to retirement; so we can possibly relax a little. Yet, even when you’re retired, you are still busy doing some kind of work to remain active; so you don’t wither away and die.

Now to get a little serious here. It seems that some will do what they can to get out of working. They would rather either get help from the government or their parents; just to avoid hard work. One thing the Pandemic did was: those who could retire, retired; and the younger generation wasn’t up to par to pick get out and actually work, doing hard labor.

It scares me to think that these younger generation will be taking care of us as we get older and God forbids ends up in a nursing home. Our cane will become our weapons. They would rather be on their smartphones than do actual work. You see a lot of them on their phones when they should actually be working.

The baby boomer and Generation X are the best generation with a good work ethic. I had my first job when I was 13 years old. I’ll never forget when my mother told me, that I was getting a summer job. My first job was picking berries at Grandrude’s Fruit Farm; which was near our farm. The first time I paid into Social Security was when I was 14 and in the 8th grade. I gave up my study hall to worked in the school cafeteria. It meant that my math grades went downhill though; because the study hall teacher I had also taught senior math, and he actually explained the math problems better than my 8th grade math teacher.

Some teenagers would wait until they were 16 to get a part time job, and some would wait until they were 18 and on their own. When I got my first job, it wasn’t because our family needed the money. It was to teach us the values of hard work and actually making money. We were taught good work ethic. It seems that young people today doesn’t have that good work ethic.

The ones that do have good work ethic are the ones who worked on a farm or the parents are either low-income or Christian parents who want to do the right thing to teach their kids the values of hard work and good work ethic. Usually they are from small town with small town values.

Parents who doesn’t make their kids get out and work, making a living between 13 and 16, are doing them injustice. They are creating them to have an entitlement issues. They feels that they are entitled to things by not working as hard as their parents and/or grandparents.

To all those who is getting assistance from the government with food stamps and such, I say, “Get A Job!” Get off your fanny and off your phone; and do some actual work for a change. Life is no bed of roses.

We work to make a living. We look forward to retirement; so that life can slow down a little before we die. We may hate Monday but at least we have a reason to hate Monday.

If they actually was out working, they wouldn’t have time to riot against authority. They would be too tired to do so. Hard work never hurt anyone!

This may started out as a light-hearted blog; but I got serious to make a point.

What is your reaction when you sees someone overly joyful to the point of being zealous? Do you cringe and nervous around them?

The first time my mother joined me at a Nazarene Church for an evening service, she was uncomfortable because there are people who wasn’t afraid to shout Amen or Halleluia! You see, she wasn’t used to it. She was more in the tradition of people being quiet in church. Much like people who goes to a Catholic or Lutheran church. People who lives in North Dakota and Minnesota are more apt to quietly worship in church compared to others areas in the country.

I have noticed people who are handicapped, somehow are more apt to joyfully praise the Lord despite of their situation.

I also noticed that the Africans either African Americans or non-Americans are also more apt to joyful praise the Lord in worship service as well. Maybe it’s their culture.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, I’ll discuss being joyful anyway.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:16, “Be Joyful always!” In verse 17, “Pray continually, and in verse 18, “give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

To some people, it’s hard to be joyful when times are tough. It’s hard to be happy in the bad times you’re facing. Yet we’re told to be joyful always no matter what our situation may be.

We are to pray without ceasing. We are to be persistent in our prayers as the woman mentioned in Luke 18:1-5 was when she was persistent with the judge to get him to hear her out. Never stop praying! It may be annoying to some if we come across as being persistent but to God it’s very important that we never give up.

We are to give thanks in all circumstances. Sometimes though, we may not feels like giving thanks. We may feel that have nothing to be thankful for. Count Your Blessings, name them one by one! Be thankful that you are still alive despite of the situation you’re in.

In Philippians 4:4, “Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again-REJOICE!

In Nehemiah 8:10, “The joy of the Lord is your strength.”

I remembered the song, “Swing Low-Sweet Chariot, it may seems like a sad song but in reality, the African-Americans were able to continue rejoicing despite of their situation they were in, being bound by slavery.

Who knows, if someone sees you being joyful despite of your situation, it may bring about lots of questions to where you find such joy. If they see you constantly happy and smiling, they may wonder why you’re smiling. Be Happy!!

What makes you happy? What makes you joyful?

There’s a song by the group 3 Dog Night that I sang a lot in school. The song was “Joy to the World.” Let’s spread a little joy in the world around us. What the world needs now more than ever is joy and love. This Thanksgiving, let us be joyful always in all circumstances. Let’s a spread a little joy to others who is in need of joy in their life. Believe me, you may find it difficult if you’re having a tough situation; but it could cheer you up and make your day brighter; along with someone you meet along the way.

No matter how you may be feeling at this moment, REJOICE ANYWAY!! Go ahead and make someone day just by being joyful.

How can America regain its economic superpower status?

With the economy flat on its back, unemployment at a 40-year high, and the housing default crisis still worsening because of President Joe Biden; is it even possible to turn our financial problems around? The last time inflation was this high was when Jimmy Carter was president.

Good political economics is neither left wing nor right wing; it’s not liberal or conservative; and for goodness sakes, it’s not Republican or Democrat; it’s just plain, straightforward economics cover a broad spectrum of views and widely diverse fields.

The politicians are still running around grabbing at straw, trying to save the economy. Hillary Clinton said that it’s the government that creates jobs. President Reagan said, “The government is not the solution to the problems; they are the problems.” To fix the economy, the government needs a businessman as president not a career politicians. When anyone tells you that the government has a solution to the economic problems, we should be very scared.

The best solution to make government work for the people and institute good economic policy is really straightforward and so obvious. As President Kennedy said, “Ask not what the government can do for you, ask what you can do for the government.” Politicians should be put on commission just like the rest of us. If they do a good job they should be paid a lot, and if they do a bad job they either should not be paid at all or they should be fired. When the government was shut down because the Democrats were crying because they couldn’t get their way, those in Congress and the Senate shouldn’t get paid. Why should the working class not get paid; while our Congressman and Senators continue getting paid? Our Congress and Senate are government workers as well. They works for the American people. We don’t work for them. We have the power to hire or fire them as we sees fit.

Those in Congress and Senate should not be allowed to place earmarks on legislation. They should not be allowed to get the perks they are getting such as inside trading. They should get the same healthcare as the American people. It will eliminate these lifers in Washington.

The President should be granted the authority for a line item vote that would require a 60% vote in the Senate to override.

To ensure a stable dollar, the Federal Reserve should operate on a price rule whereby reserves should be added to the banking system when prices are under downward pressure and should be taken out of the banking system when prices face upward pressure.

The United States is the world’s third largest producer of oil. Can you imagine what the economy would look like today if President Obama were to successfully stop the importation of oil? The U.S. economy would be in even worse shape than it already is. Why should the United States be dependent on Foreign oil and have to deal with terrorism? We should be in more control of our resources like President Trump wanting to do. We should be more independence rather than depend on other countries.

The leaders of the oil-producing countries are really just one step removed from being declared enemies of the United States. If embargoes caused people to rethink their politics and see the light, then North Korea 60 years ago would have become a free market, progrowth, democratic, capitalist nation. Trade embargoes and sanctions are not good political tools, no matter what the government may tell you. The president can bring public attention to bad behavior in order to sway public opinion to get a foreign leader to see the error of their ways. They could used this on Putin after Russia invaded Ukraine and stop that war. It could shows China that the United States is not to be messed with.

The Left will have you believe that we’re facing a global warming crisis. When in fact, man is the primary cause of global warming. Cap and trade forces the price of carbon emissions higher but without correcting for the negative impact on the long term growth rate. Due to government mandate, companies and individuals would be holding an asset with market value. The government should not expropriate assets without paying proper compensation.

Nuclear-generated power is a proven, environmentally friendly way of producing clean energy that does a great job for virtually every objectives you can think of.

If more production and employment is what is wanted, then reduce taxes on employment and reduce taxes on production. That’s how to create prosperity!! If taxes are low, wages will go up, more people will buy the products and services.

A sure sign that the people who run government don’t understand basic economics is when they take employment data as an actual measure of prosperity rather than as a proxy for prosperity. Working is the price society has to pay in order to be able to consume the goods and services society wants. When consumption and employment are confused by politicians, all sorts of mischievous consequences result. Employers were also encouraged to pay workers higher wages than the markets would dictate because those workers would then buy more and stimulate the economy. The government should not be in the business of supporting any one specific industry, whether that industry be housing, autos, insurance, or anything else. The reason why healthcare is so high is because our Congress and Senators are being bought off by the Big Pharma. They are only in it for making money, not actually helping the people get healthier.

Rich people can change the timing of their incomes. They can more readily afford lawyers, accountants, and doctors. Rich people should be more sensitive to tax rates than are poor people.

The argument for higher minimum wage is couched in terms of a “living wage,” but seriously isn’t some wage better than no wage? While increasing the minimum wage is a seductive populist agenda item, it is incredibly harmful to the economy. An increase in the minimum wage succeeds in doing is pricing people out of the job market. The times were good during the Reagan and Clinton eras.

We really have to implement positive tax reforms. The solution is to throw out the current tax code and implement in its stead a true flat-rate tax. With tax rules at all levels of government as confusing and complicated as they are today, few people actually prepare their own tax returns. It should come as no surprise to anyone that is government increases taxes on people who work and pays more to people who don’t work, there will be less work. Slashing income-tax rates and capital-gains tax rates in 1981 helped launch what we now appreciate as the greatest and longest period of wealth creation in the world history. When the tax rate is high, investors simply delay selling their assets to keep the tax collector away from their door. In most cases, people who inherit wealth are lucky by an accident of birth and really don’t deserve inheritance anymore than people who don’t inherit wealth.

Should U.S. economic policies be focused on expanding the economy or on reducing income inequality? The mantra is: “Raise tax rate on the top 5% of income earners and cut taxes for the other 95% of Americans.” If the government taxes the rich and give the money to the poor, sooner rather than later we’ll have a lot more poor people and fewer rich. How about we go to a tax rate of only 10% of what a person make. If 10% is enough for the God, it’s more than enough for the government. Good economics should always make common sense. The poor actually spend less money now than 20 years ago on such necessities as food and clothing, called the “Wal-Mart effect.” The government’s Robin Hood strategy has almost always failed because it means less not more income to take from the rich to give to the poor. This is why Socialism will not work. Lower tax-rates expand the economy and helped move more people up the income ladder.

The government is simply spending too much money. More money is going out rather than coming in. As DOGE discovered, there have been a lot of waste in government spending. The Democrats are upset because they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

What President Trump wants to do is cut income taxes by using tariffs instead. We can make America great again and prosper; if we only eliminate higher taxes. Taxes in the red states are either lower or no taxes at all; while taxes in blue state are extremely higher. The cost of living is lower in the red states over the blue states.

America can return to prosperity once again after the 4 years under Joe Biden. We can return to prosperity as well. There’s hope for America and for us.

We cannot escape from the fact of getting older. Like my mother would say, “There’s 2 things we can’t avoid and they are, paying taxes and dying.” We will have to pay taxes until we die. We are not immortal, we all are going to die someday.

The fact is that as we get older, we will feel it in our body and bodily function. As my step-dad would say, “going steady with arthritis,” when it comes to any aches and pains we may have. Believe me, I feel it with my knees, some days are worse than others.

We even have memories lost as we get older in one form or another. You can prolong it by either taking drugs or the natural way by doing words search. I prefer doing words search on my phone.

As you get older, you will also have bladder issues. As the saying goes, “you start out in diapers and you end up in diapers.” As you get older you may not always make it to the bathroom in times or have to go more often. When that happens, you will sometimes leaves messes in or on your pants. Then you get discriminated against and asked to leave. It makes a person wonder what they will do to those in nursing home and/or assisted living. Will they kicked them out too for that issues? They used the fact that it’s unsanitary. New Life will rather kick someone out for that over someone having pink eye 3 times. I don’t know about you, but pink eye is much worse.

Bill Gates wants to eliminate the elderly because he sees them as being useless to society. This is one of the reason him and Dr. Nazi Fauci created the COVID virus to kill off the elderly. This is why COVID affected the elderly more than children. They were trying to kill them off.

What you can do to redefine your health is change your diet and avoid putting poisons into your body. Assume for a moment that there was a pill that could extend your life. How likely would you take it? How many are in search of the Fountain of Youth? I mean, we all are searching for ways to stay younger as long as possible. They’ll do whatever it takes to do so, from dying your hair to getting a face lift.

Do you know someone who doesn’t look their age? I’m 60 years old, but to some, I don’t look my age. People who looks younger than they are, is because of good genes, and they don’t smoke or spend time getting tan either outside or in a tanning booth. Don’t get me wrong, we need the sun for healthy living but we also must learn that too much can cause aging and skin cancer.

Older Americans have become good at the psychology of money. They know that they cannot depend on Social Security. Yet there some who do and they cry about it when it runs out. They want the government help you. You need more than Social Security to survive when you retire. It’s also good to have a good retirement and investments set up for when you retire. How many actually think of that though when they are young.

When you’re young, you think you’re going to live forever. You just want to live life to the fullest and have as much fun as you can.

As you get older, hopefully you’ll also become wiser.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that older adults are the happiest people.

The bad thing is as you get older, nursing home and medical care eats up your income. If you own property, expect the government to take it from you.

What scares me is the fact that these younger generation will be taking care of us in our old age. Our cane will become our weapons. They have no respect for the elderly. They don’t realize that with age comes wisdom.

Let’s throw the stereotype away! The elderly are redefing our health, wealth, our challenges, and living with a purpose. We are not done living yet. We still have a lot of living to do. Don’t count us out! Instead listen to us because we got wisdom that comes with age.

As we looked back at Halloween that was this past Friday, my question is: what is your scariest movie you have seen?

My scariest movie is “THE SHINING,” with Jack Nichalson.

Did you know that Stephen King didn’t like that version, so he had it redone?

I don’t know about you but you cannot go wrong with Jack Nichalson. He was just perfect for that role. I’ll go into my reason why I say that but first let’s go into Steven King, one of the greatest horror author of all time.

Before Stephen King became known as the scariest author, there was Edgar Allen Poe of the 1800’s. He wrote such stories as: THE RAVEN, THE FALL OF THE USHER, and THE TELL-TALE HEART. Who haven’t read these stories?

THE TELL-TALE HEART is a short story by Edgar Allen Poe about an unnamed narrator who insists on his sanity while describing the murder of an old man he was living with. This story is a gothic classic exploring themes of madness, guilt, and the psychological effects of paranoia.

Edgar Allen Poe suffered from paranoid schizophrenic, making him into a great writer of horror stories. I remembered reading THE TELL-TALE HEART when I was in high school. It was a required reading and one of the good stories I read. It was creepy and made you think in the process.

Now you can say that Stephen King is that type of author as well. A lot of his works had been made into movies and/or mini-series for television. I have a book that I’m in the process of writing and typing up called, “ROLLAG HILLS,” that could be on the same page as type of book Stephen King would right, without me giving away the plot.

Like I said earlier, Stephen King didn’t like the version of THE SHINING with Jack Nichalson for some reason. The reason he didn’t like Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation of THE SHINING was because he felt it was an emotionally cold, misogynistic, and poorly adapted version of his novel.

I have this to say though, who can go wrong with Jack Nichalson? He was just so perfect in that role. He got that creepy personality to make him a perfect good actor. When he would say, “Here’s Johnny;” he say it with such a spell-binding way. Let’s look at other movies that Jack Nichalson starred in so you can get the picture of why I say he was perfect for THE SHINING.

One of Jack Nichalson first movie was ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO NEST. In that movie, he played a patient in a mental asylum, I couldn’t see no other actor portraying that character beside him.

When he played the Joker in the BATMAN MOVIE, starring Michael Keaton, he had the Joker’s grin down pact.

If you ever look at Jack Nichalson, you can see why I say that. He is known as often playing charismatic rebels fighting against social structure.

Another movie that Jack Nichalson was perfect in was A FEW GOOD MEN, also starring Tom Cruise and Demi Moore. The famous line that he used in the movie is “You want the truth-you can’t handle the truth.” I used that same line when it comes to my blog. If you read my blog you would understand why I used that line.

When you’re looking for a scary movie to watch by yourself or with your girlfriend or if you prefer boyfriend, I recommend you check out THE SHINING. It will scare the wits out of you.

Don’t get me wrong there are lots of scary movies out there to pick from. It just that for this blog, THE SHINING is my point of reference at this time. I have mentioned 2 scary movies 2 years ago with PSYCO and HALLOWEEN. There’s also SILENCE OF THE LAMB, but that could be a different blog. Just like the movie, SEVEN, starring Brad Pitt. And of course, the Japanese is known to make scarier movies than the United States.

So once again, what is your scariest movie you have ever seen? Do you agree with me with THE SHINING? Please let me know with your comment.

Have you noticed how certain people looks for ways to control? Have you noticed how the government and especially the Democrats are only in it for control?

Our career politicians in Washington are only in because of the power they have by being in control. They seems to forget who got them elected in the first place, the American people. They crave the power they have over us. If it wasn’t that fact, and the perks they get, I doubt, they wouldn’t be in Washington as long as they are.

Whenever someone comes along to disrupt that power, they fight hard as hell to remain in power. They do not want term limits, because it would take away the power that they have over the American people. When the Tea Party movement started under President George W. Bush, the Established Republicans fought them to remain in power.

Since the Tea Party movement, it was an eye opener to the American people. Even Donald Trump saw this as an opportunity to run for President. He faced opposition not only from the Democrats but also the Rhino Republicans as well in 2016. Anyone who would comes up against the power to be will faced opposition along the way. It doesn’t matter what it may be.

Thank goodness the Tea Party held their grounds! A lot of the Rhino Republicans are stepping down or had been voted out of office. Now the only one still holding on to the power in Washington is the Democrats. They are still fighting President Trump every step of the way. They even used the faked mainstream news media to do so. They are even protesting Trump as well.

I heard Bill O’Reilly said, “Since the Democrats are behaving badly, they are done. They may have a hard time in winning another election.” He used history to do so. Herbert Hoover made a statement that cost the Republicans from winning an election for over 20 years.

This same things could hurt the Democrats as well and they may find it difficult to win another election for maybe 30 years. That’s why I always say it good to learn from history; otherwise we are doom to repeat it. The Democrats are trying to rewrite history rather learn from it.

During COVID, the government, especially the Democrats shut down everything in the country and put fear in the American people. You couldn’t go visit your parents, go to church, go out to eat, go shopping, and to some actually go to work or school. The Democrats kept everything on lockdown for as long as they could. The Democrats forced everyone to wear a mask when out and about. Some even wore the mask while alone in their home and cars. Some still are wearing the mask.

Kid Rock has a song out called, “We the People.” They say wear your mask, take your pills, now the whole generation is mentally ill.

Now the Democrats have come up with a new protest rally called, “No King.” Do they really know what no kings mean? They sees Trump as a king because he wants to give back the power to the American people, and our freedom to boot. It’s the Democrats who wants power and control. They are acting like a king, not President Trump.

It was Joe Biden, who said, “get the vaccine or you all are going to pay!” It was Joe Biden who called parents who protest the school boards for what they are teaching our kids; when he called them domestic terrorists. Who is the real king here? It’s sure not Trump! It was Joe Biden who was acting like a king and the Democrat party as well.

When the Democrats elite saw that Joe Biden’s had failed in his debate, they forced him to step down from running for reelection. It wasn’t Democracy, because the people didn’t have a chance to nominated Kamala Harris to run for President. They appointed her to run. She was a DEI appointee. All a thing a king would do. Who is the real king now? Not Donald Trump or the Republicans.

For the latest government shut down, the Democrats are once again responsible for the shut down; because they are not getting their way. They are pouting and crying about it. They say that Trump want to take away Social Security and healthcare. When in fact, the only one who would lose healthcare and welfare assistance is the illegal immigrants.

It’s like when kids are playing and one get mad and pick up his toys and leave. If they don’t get their way, they pick up their toys and leave. It’s all about control! Or when employees would go on strike for more money or better working conditions or healthcare.

Husbands would control their wives anyway possible. Parents would control their children. Teachers would control their students by indoctrinating them. When parents found that out during Covid, they were upset and went after the school board to stop them.

Now that Bobby Kennedy Jr., who is the Secretary of Health is going after Big Phara, the food processing company and hospital; they don’t like that either and want his head on a platter so to speak. He’s cutting into their profits. The Democrats on the payroll is attacking Kennedy for doing that.

To those who are calling President Trump a king in this No King rally, I have this to say. TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT AND JESUS IS MY KING!! In other words, the United States hadn’t had a king since the Revolution War when the Colonist fought England to be freed from the monarchy.

If you agree with Trump being our President and Jesus being our King, press like and comment below.

Do you remember hearing the song, “This Land is Our Land” when you went to school? Do they still play or sing that song in schools today?

I remembered hearing that song when I went to school in the 70’s and 80’s. This song was written by Woody Guthrie in response to Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America.” It’s a folk song.

How would you feel if someone broke into your home? You wouldn’t like it, would you? People pay to have security for their home. Some have extravagance security system with fancy technology that will alert the police if intruders enter your house illegally. Some have watch dogs like German Shephard or Doberman Pincher. Some even have a gun to scare off the intruder breaking in.

Growing up on the farm, we had big dogs guarding our place. My dad even had a gun that he wasn’t afraid to use if need to. He even said, “if you’re defending yourself and your property, make sure they are in the house for no witness, and make sure they cannot testify either.”

SQUATTING: is an act of occupying a building or land that is abandoned or unoccupied without the owner’s permission. SQUATTERS: from trespassers in that they occupy a property for an extended period. Squatting has occurred throughout history in the United States. You still hear it happening today. How would you feel about that?

How would you feel if someone stole your house from under your nose? There are some who will do that. Con artist would start by picking a house to steal. They then would transfer the deed to your house into their name.

This is much like illegal immigrants coming into United States illegally. This is why we need border security and/or the wall on our Southern borders. This is also why we need ICE to deport the illegal immigrants. Other countries have stricter border control than the United States do. They have stricter security to protect their borders from terrorists. If we would had stricter border security, maybe we could had avoided the bombing of the World Trade Center back in September 11, 2001.

Before 9/11 as a child, when our family went up to Canada to fish or to Winnepeg, we didn’t need a passport or birth certificate. They just asked why we were going to Canada. After 9/11, that all change; but yet it was still easier for immigrants to come across the Southern borders illegally. This whole border crisis started under President George W. Bush.

President Obama said that we need an immigration reform. When he said it those on the Left didn’t complained about it like they are with President Trump. They call Trump and those who supported him as being racist. To them, everything is all about race. I’m here to tell you once again, it’s not about race but securing our borders. We have to secure our borders from terrorists, those coming to America illegally, illegal drugs coming into this country and killing our people, human trafficking of young children (sex trafficking), even stopping the cartels from bringing illegal weapons into this country as well.

When Jason Aldean came out with his song, “Try this in Small Town,” he got lots of criticism from those on the Left; especially Joy Behar from The View.

The left is crying because President Trump is sending troops into major cities to clean up their mess by cleaning up the crimes in our cities. They think that he has no rights to do that. According to the Constitution, it’s the job of the Federal Government to overlook the country and keep us safe.

If the Democrats in these Blue states doesn’t want to protect the American citizens, then President Trump has the authority to do so. I stand by President Trump as he clean up our major cities of the crimes.

The Democrats are offering the illegal immigrants all these assistants that should go to the American people instead like: healthcare, housing, and food stamps. The Democrats are crying about it and even shut down the government because of it.

Once again, this land is our land, and I’m all for defending our country anyway possible. We must secure our borders like they do in other countries. We must keep illegal drugs from coming into our country as well. It’s all about security not race, like those on the Left will have people to believe.

If you stand by me and President Trump in securing our borders, press like. If you have any comments, I want to hear from you as well.

You all heard Paul Marcarelli for the Verizon commercial used this line in their commercial.

Do you have selective hearing?

How well do you communicate with others?

It seems that men are more likely to have selective hearing when it comes to their wife or girlfriend. We are told that we never listen when our wife speaks to us. We never pay attention to her.

I be the first to admit that I don’t communicate as well as I should. Last year at work, I put down as a goal to communicate better with my coworkers.

Are you hard of hearing?

My step-dad was hard hearing but refused to wear hearing aids; because he say that they hurt his ears. He always would tell my mother or us kids to speak up, can’t hear you. I learned to talked louder because of that. Now when I talked louder, I come across as screaming.

Sometimes though because of the noise, we have to speak a little louder.

Do you mumble when you talk?

Are you misunderstood? Do people misinterpret what you are trying to say?

Sometimes, we may come across a certain way than intended. I have to admit sometimes, I would misinterpret things I see on Facebook or misheard someone say.

Hey there, weird kids in your high top shoes, sitting in the back of the class, I was just like you, always left out, never fit in. Do you ever feel like that.

Have you ever taken something out of context?

Sometimes, it’s best to read the whole thing to get a better understanding of what is being said. It’s also good to asked questions to make sure that you heard correctly. Some may think it to be annoying.

There is a Christmas song called, Do You Hear what I Hear. Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy, do you hear what I hear ringing through the sky. A song high above the trees, with a voice as big as the sea.

It seems like more and more lately in today’s world we have selective hearing. We only hear what we want to hear. If you don’t like what we hear, we shut them off and not really pay attention to what is being said. Then we become highly critical.

Instead of getting their facts straight, the fake mainstream news media will only tell you what they want to tell you. They don’t tell the whole story.

Get your facts straight! Do your research before jumping to conclusion, Asked question if you’re not sure what is being said. If you’re not sure, maybe it’s best not to say a thing.

What is your principles you stand on? Where do you stand in life? What is your principle?

This blog will be based somewhat off the book, “Principles,” by Ray Dalio. We all have to have something to stand for. What do you stand up for?

Now daddy didn’t like trouble but if it came along, everyone that knew which side that he’d be on. You could always find him standing up for what he thought was right. You got to be your own man, not a puppet on a string. Never compromise what’s right and uphold your family name.

PRINCIPLES are fundamental truths that serve as the foundations for behavior that gets you what you want out of life. Without Principles we would be forced to react to all the things life throw at us individually.

Having a good set of principles is like having a good collection of recipes for success.

We all come by our principles in different ways. Sometimes we gain them through our own experience and reflections. Sometimes we accept them from others, like our parents, or we adopt holistic packages of principles, such as those of religious and legal frameworks.

You heard people, “You weren’t raised that way.” FAMILY VALUES sometimes referred to as familiar values, are traditional or cultural values that pertain to the family’s structure, function, roles, beliefs, attitudes, and ideals.

It’s like following a family tradition. FAMILY TRADITION, also called family culture, is defined as an aggregate of attitudes, ideas, and ideals, and environment; which a person inherits from their parents and ancestors. What is your family tradition, your family value? These are your principles you were raised on and made you into the person you are today.

Our schools today is trying to change the values of our kids. They are indoctrinating them from the way they were raised by their parents because it doesn’t coincide with their teachings.

When we are children, other people typically our parents and/or our teachers, guide us through our encounters with reality. As we get older, we begin to make our own choices. Hopefully, the choices we make coincide with what our parents teaches us as a core value.

Our DNA gives us our innate strengths and weaknesses.

For example: being “LIBERAL” meant being committed to moving forward in a fast and fair way; while being “CONSERVATIVE” meant being stuck in old and unfair ways-at least that’s how it seemed to the world, especially those on the Left.

My parents were never heavy into politics but they did vote in every election. They usually voted for the person as Independent; which usually meant they would vote more for the Democrat, even though they were considered to be Conservative in their thinking. If that makes any sense.

I got my Conservative values from them but became a Republicans in 1984 because of President Reagan. Since, I was a young Republicans I was loyal because I didn’t knew any better. As I got older, I was able to see that not all Republicans are good, just like not all Democrats are good. In the 2000’s election, I couldn’t bring myself to vote for George W. Bush, I voted for Elizabeth Dole instead, and I stood alone.

Just like when John McCain was running for President, I couldn’t bring myself to vote for him also. Both him and George W.Bush didn’t share my values and principles.

The Tea Party movement started under President George W. Bush’s administration because there were others like me who didn’t care for Bush. They were small at that time; but they stood their ground and look at the Republican party now.

In 2016, the Rhino Republicans, the Establishment wanted Jeb Bush; but the American people didn’t want another Bush. The Tea Party movement really took off and Donald Trump used that to his advantage, and created MAGA Republicans.

During Trump’s first term, he had a battle to faced by the Rhino’s and the Democrats. Then during last election, after the attempt on Trump’s life, when he stood up with his fist in the air as to say, “Fight!”, the American people saw that and was so impressed and hated what the Democrats were doing to America, that they voted for Trump in a big way.

President Trump been busy draining the swamp and cleaning house in Washington. We now got some good Republicans, as the Rhinos are stepping down or being voted out.

The government is shut down because the Republicans finally got some balls and stood their ground against the Democrats corrupted ways. Whereas the Democrats are acting crazy, crying because they are not getting their way. They are blaming Trump.

I’m glad that Trump and the Republicans are not backing down. They are standing their ground. I believe that President Reagan would be proud. When President Reagan was president, he was against the Establishment, much like Trump.

Even though, my parents voted for Independent and for the person. I believed that my step-dad would had voted for Trump. I see that Trump shared some of the same values as what my step-dad had and infused into us kids; whether we listen to it and/or follow it or not, that depended on us kids.

Even though, some Democrats had left the Democratic party because they felt that they had lost their ways and their core values and principles. There are some who remained loyal in hoping that they will see the light. You have to admire them for sticking to their principles. Yet, at the same time, you want to slap them across the head and say, as Cher said in the movie, “Moonstruck”, “Snap out of it!”

Those on the Left say that anyone who voted for and supported Trump is a cult; and they say that we are being brainwashed. Just like those who voted for Trump would say that those on the Left are being brainwashed by the Democrats and mainstream news media.

This is one of the reasons that the schools are indoctrinating our kids; much like Adolph Hitler did during World War 2. Since the Pandemic, parents were able to see what the schools were teachings their kids, and they finally woke up.

You got to stand your ground. You got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything. You may not get everything you want by standing your ground. I mean, our family could had been better off if dad would had done more giving in or a little more backing down. Our family always had plenty just living his advice and sticking to his core values he was teaching us growing up. Since he had a lack of trust of the government, he didn’t get some of what he created patented.

I hope that President Trump and the Republicans don’t back down and cave to the Democrats. Believe me I will not back down. Even though, I was forced to get the poison (vaccine) to keep my job being I was so close to retirement.

I’m here to tell you to stand your ground and don’t back down. Stick to your family values. You got to stand for something and don’t let anyone tell you different!
