Have you ever played the game, “One of these doesn’t belong?”

We’re not going to play that game though. Instead, I’m going to show how throughout history, and not just this country but even in the Bible; we have a tendency of grouping people together just by association within groups. I won’t need to go that far for you to get the point though.

Let us go back to World War 2, after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Shortly after and as the United States were brought into the war, within this country, especially in California; there was concentration camp where the Japanese Americans were being held out of fear that they were link to their fellow country folks from Japan.

Even back then, we had this fear and mistrust of certain groups just by association. They may have been totally innocent but to our human minds, they were just as guilty; even though they didn’t do the actual bombing. It’s a crying shame too; but that’s human nature. We don’t mean to be racist. It’s just in our human nature to judge or misjudge people just because of association with a certain group of people. This was in our history book and we cannot deny it. Instead, we must learn from it; so that we can learn what makes us tick as human beings.

Moving forward, after 9/11, twenty years, a similar incident happened. Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of 9/11, when terrorist attack, the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I don’t know where you were when it happened; but I was getting ready for work at Concordia College, when I saw it on the morning news show.

I do want to say, on that day at work, you could cut the tension with a knife; that’s how bad it was.

You see, there were foreign students going to college there, even from the Middle East area. They had nothing to do with the terrorist attack; but because of the color of their skin, nationality, or Muslim religions, people linked them together.

Not all Muslims are terrorists. As a rule Muslims are peace-loving. There are just these Radical Muslims who are considered terrorist. They are called, Islamic extremism.

I mean there are radical Christians as well; who takes things to the extremes. Does that makes all Christians bad?

No, it doesn’t; like it doesn’t make all Muslims bad. Or even all Japanese bad like during WW2. Generally, people are good. There just happened to be some bad people in a certain group. We just have this tendency of judging people by association; instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt for being their own individual.

Just like when Trump was elected President in 2016, anyone who voted or supported Trump were considered to be White Supremacy and a racist because they saw him as one. We all know that’s not true; but because we voted for and supported Trump, we must be like him.

The origin of the Coronavirus came from Wuhan, China; in the lab. Yet, people associate the Chinese people to this whole things and blames the people for the virus. Not all the people are to blame just because of the Chinese Government. Once again, it’s our human nature to group them together, just because of who they are.

As I said in a blog last year, one bad apple doesn’t spoiled the whole bunch. I was talking about how those on the Left wanted to defund the police all because of one bad cop. There are good cops and bad cops. They don’t need to be defunded because of the bad cops.

I’m not here to defend Chris Cuomo. He’s still a Leftist journalist for CNN. He’s just not responsible for his brother former Governor Andrew Cuomo from New York. As a reporter, it’s hard to be bias when it comes to your family members.

We are not our brother’s keepers.

Much like, a doctor or a lawyer aren’t suppose to have a family member or loved ones to be their patients or clients. They have to remain neutral. Sometimes, lawyers are character witness to a family member.

Chris Cuomo should be judge by his bad merit, not his brother’s bad merit.

I mean, if you have a bad seed in your family, it doesn’t make your whole family bad? Yet, we judge the family by that 1 bad seed.

I’ve heard that all those who refused the vaccines are Trump’s supporters. Now, that’s not true either. People choose what they want and rightly should. Some are not Trump’s supporters.

Those in the fake news media and those on the Left also called, the unvaccinated, terrorist because we are defending our freedom of choice not to get the vaccines. We are not terrorists, we just know our bodies better than the government and doctors.

So before you judge someone because of who they associate with, walk a mile in their shoes. Get to know that person before you actually judge them unfairly.

Some of us are not really racist; it’s just our human nature to lump people together . We need to calm down. We need to learn to just get along with each others.

We’re all God’s children. We’re all Americans. We need to stand united as Americans.

Biden talked about unity; but the unity he wants is the kind that we all agree with him. That’s not unity, that’s conformity.

One thing about being an American is we all have the freedom to express ourselves. We need to accept each other as individual. It shouldn’t matter our religion, color of our skins, or our political views. Let us just learn to get along with each other. We don’t have to agree with everything. We just need to learn to agree to disagree.

Believe me, that’s easier said than done; because of our human nature to prejudging others.

There is a lot of downside of being lockdown besides being bad for the economy. Not only does the lockdown hurt businesses and bring about high unemployment. This blog will talk about other downsides of being lockdown. Reasons that those on the Left and the mainstream news media won’t talk about for some reason.

Even those the bars were closed and/or closed earlier, around 10pm; the liquor stores were still making a profit during the pandemic. If the people couldn’t go to the bars and drink, they would go to the liquor stores to buy their alcohol and take it home with them to drink.

You could say, because of the pandemic, drunk driving was down; but not the sales of alcohol or any other reasons connected with alcohol.

Liquor stores were still making a profit. According to the economist, liquor store sales were up 28% during pandemic; bars down 33%.

During this stressful time, people wanted their alcohol. They felt they needed it more than anything else. If they have to be out of a job or work from home to deal with their family, they felt they need a little liquid encouragement to get through the day, day in and day out.

Not only was sales of alcohol from the liquor stores up; so was domestic violence as well.

Here is the stats of domestic violence: around 50% and higher. Domestic violence increased in the US by 8.1% during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The reason of this economic issues was because of unemployment, financial insecurity and stress from child care and homeschooling have exacerbated domestic violence risk factors.

Sometimes, a person needs a little break from their family; otherwise, they may crack and either abuse their spouse or children. When you add alcohol into the mix; it’s only make it much worst. Wives can abuse husbands as much as husbands abuse wives. And of course, children are even more of an abused victims. Alcohol and stress are 2 deadly combination.

That is one reason, men needs their man cave or their garage; just to get away from the wife and kids to be alone.

I’m glad that my folks weren’t around during this pandemic. My mother told me before she died, one of the reason, she kept on working past retirement was because she was afraid that dad would drive her nuts with his control issues.

Also during the pandemic, people had gained weight and lots of it. They were eating unhealthy junk food and not able to work out. They wasn’t able to go to the gym to work out. When a person is stress to the limit, not only do they drink and abuse family members. They have a tendency to eat junk food to satisfy their cravings to help deal with the stress they are facing.

For some reason though, I was somewhat lucky to have lost a lot of weight. Sure, I was stress out to and overwork as well.

Another downside of being lockdown is mental illness in children. When you stare at a computer all day, it’s going to affect you more than you think. Children needs the companion of other children; as much as anyone else . We are not made to be alone. Even though, the alone quiet time is nice as a person gets older.

Children needs the chance to be a child and play with other kids. If they are sitting in front of the computer doing school works, it will fry their brains. All work and no play is unhealthy! That’s why children needs gym classes as well. Otherwise, they too can become obese.

Now, that is extremely bad for a child to become obese, because it’s become much harder to lose the weight.

Now the mainstreams news media and the Democrats used the excuse, “We’re protecting our children from the virus!”

You are still hurting them though. You’re causing mental illness for them. They are being abused, physically, sexually, emotionally, mentally, and verbally.

So what’s worse?

They will never admit the damage being done during the pandemic. They just think that they are saving lives.

In reality, they just want to be able to control us and the pandemic was their way of doing it.

Believe me if Anthony (Nazi) Fauci and Joe (dementia dog) Biden have their way once again, they will lock everything down again. They wouldn’t care about all the damages they are causing ; and not just the economy but these other downsides as well.

So you see being lockdown had done more harm than good. They think they were saving lives; but they were making things worst, more ways than 1.

Last week, I was talking about how bad reputation can break a person, neighborhood, business, etc. So this week we will look at the reputations of those who are slum lords and the slums area.

There is some slums area that is so bad, so dangerous, people try to avoid especially after dark. They just don’t feel safe in that neighborhood. The streets are not lit very well; so it’s completely dark. Crimes is very high in those areas from murder to theft to sexual assault. There is even taxi drivers who do not want to go into that type of neighborhood if they can help it.

Those are the people who cannot afford to live anywhere else. Most of them, don’t have cars either. They depends on public transportation and/or taxi service to get around. Sometimes, even the help of people they know through either church or jobs, if they have one.

The slums is nothing new though and either are slum lords. They have been around since the turn of the century, the 1990’s, I’m talking about.

Much of the urban poor lived in a tenement housing. There was a stench of waste and crimes. And poverty often breeds crime. The homes were cramped, poorly lit and lack indoor plumbing and proper ventilation. People who lives in these areas also have poor health and poor medical treatment. These areas are usually considered the inner city.

When you hear inner cities, you think of major metropolitans; but not Fargo, ND. I’m here to tell you that’s not the case anymore.

Now I don’t want to dwell on life in the inner cities, the slums area; because that’s a whole different blog. Much like the urban poor that lives there. Instead, I want to discuss the slum lords who take advantage of the poor people who lives in the slums and poorly runs apartment.

Back in June of this year, there was huge collapse of a condo in Florida. Many lives were lost due to the collapse and there are still some who are missing . This condo had an underground garage and even a swimming pool. It was discovered that years of water corrosions in the underground garage due to the swimming pool.

It goes to show that if upkeep isn’t being kept up on a building, there will be wear and tear throughout the life of the building. The city government knew about all the corrosions; as well as the landlords, but did nothing about it.

In these slums areas, they also have bedbugs and cockroaches problems as well. They will find a way into the building through any cracks. Yet these slum lords won’t take the responsibility themselves. They would rather blame the tenants who lives in the building. If they have to exterminate the bugs problem, they will charge the renters; rather than take responsibility themselves.

When the high rise was first built in Fargo, it was a nice building for Seniors Citizens. Throughout the years, it had turned into a slum area runs by the Housing Authority for low rent housing to the poor. They had been known to have bedbugs as well.

Now the city of Fargo is looking at tearing it down because it’s a little too late to fix the problems and much cheaper. The question is, “Where do those who lives there go?”

Where I used to lived, it was a nice neighborhood and apartment. Once again, years of deterioration the apartment had become run down and the neighborhood had turned into a slum areas. When brought up about the crack in the wall needs fixing, someone from housing would just say, “It’s nothing to worry about.”

Toward the end of my stay there, Silver Leaf was the Property Manager. They were kicked out of the Twin Cities because of poor property management. At one time, the building was cleaner and quieter. There was good families and people who lived there. The last few years, the building was going downhill. It was not kept up with maintenance and basic cleaning. The laundry room was filthy and so was the hallway. They even had problems with cockroaches and bedbugs. And Silver Leaf expected those who rented to pay for the extermination; instead of taking responsibility themselves.

I also remembered one time, the fridge was going on the brink; and that was back when Coldwell Banker owned the property. I complained about it and they just said, “We gave you a new fridge.” Finally, I contacted Housing complaints and told them about it. They told me to contact the property manager again and tell them that I contacted Housing about the new fridge and if they still don’t do anything, they will get after them. When I did that, it didn’t take long to get a new fridge.

In a way, these slum lords should have to live in these buildings; that way they can see for themselves. Then maybe, they might do a better job at upkeep.

They want to collect the rent but not do any upkeeps. Yet, at the same time, because of the pandemic the government held off on eviction notices because of the crisis. Small property managers ended up folding because they can’t afford the upkeep without getting the rent payments. Some of them may even be good respectable people, not slum lords.

What a difference between where I live now compare to where I used to live? It’s only a few blocks away too. My old neighborhood was a slum. I didn’t feel safe. I knew as I get older, I would have to consider moving but being force to move was downright dirty. It’s quieter where I live. It’s more lit up. If I had to be outside after dark, I wouldn’t be as fearful as I was in my old neighborhood. The building is so much cleaner. They seems to care about the property and those who rents there.

The bad part about moving is the expenses. That’s why the poor are doom to live in the slum areas run by the slum lords; who takes advantage of them, instead of actually caring for them. If the government does help, they would rather keeps the poor in these slums areas. In a way, they are the worse slum lords. Just look at the Fargo High Rise again. Look at the slums areas of Fargo-Moorhead as well as any metropolitans.

What kinds of reputation does your neighborhood have? Is it the slums? Is it runs by slum lords?

Is there a restaurant that you frequent the most when going out to eat? Is there a store that you do your most shopping at?

What do you do when you hear something disgusting about your favorite restaurant? Do you continue going there to eat, or do you stop going?

Before the Pandemic, pigeons were discovered in cages in the basement of the King House Buffet on Broadway in Fargo, ND.

Now I used to go to King House quite often; but when I heard that, it just turned my stomach and I stopped going there to eat. I know that I wasn’t alone either. That really hurt their business and was never able to recover, because shortly after the Pandemic hit.

Someone tried to get people to come back to King House but bad reputation just turned people away very quickly doing plenty of harm to their business.

Pigeons has this social perception as being dirty and disease -ridden; even though they are actually very clean animals, and is very little evidence to suggest that they are significant transmitter of disease.

Because of their reputation as being dirty, people were concerned about if they were feeding the people pigeons.

Another incident that happened was at McDonalds in North Fargo near the Fargo Dome, mice turds or a mouse was discovered in the fryer there. People stop going there to eat because they were disgusted. Was it a bad joke or did it really happened?

I remembered years ago at Kentucky Fried Chicken in Detroit Lakes, they too had trouble with mice being found in their kitchen.

We all know that mice are not the cleanest animals; so it’s enough to gross anyone out and turn people away.

Sorry, if I’m grossing you out; so let me get to the point here.

This title comes from a country song in the ’80’s by Ronnie McDowell. In that song, it was about how wanting to be with just one woman was hurting the guy bad reputation of being a womanizer. He no longer check into a hotel under an alias because he was ready to settle down with one woman. So a person can ruin their bad reputation just like a ruining a good reputation .

At one time Subway and Domino’s were very popular. Now they seems to have a bad reputation and is dire needs of good public relation person.

Since Megan Rapinoe was the latest spoke person for Subway in their TV ads, there had been controversy because of her stand at the Tokyo Olympics, Subway was pressured to give her the boot from their ads to save face.

Some businesses are known to have poor customers services by their reputation. I don’t think I have to mention them because you should know them. Just like some have a bad reputation of always looking for help for some reasons.

Even a person can have a bad reputation that’s so bad that they needs a good PR person to make them look good. A company would hire a consultant to help them improve their reputation. Just like a person running for political office, they would hire a good PR person to improve their reputation.

Even some neighborhood may have a bad reputation. Or some cities are known by their reputation as well. Chicago was known as the windiest city, not because of the wind but because of the “hot air” of politicians. They also have a reputation as being a very violent city. So does New York City has a bad reputation for being a city where people are rude; whereas it’s very violence as well.

What is your reputation? Do you have a good reputation or a bad reputation?

Cable One and the old Kmart had been known to have poor customer service. Uber also been know to have a bad reputation as not being very trustworthy. You never know what kinds of drivers you may get. Will they rob, kill or sexually assault you?

Some churches can have a bad reputation as well. When churches have a bad reputation, it will keeps people from wanting to attend. It can take the right pastor to change churches reputation around to attract people to check them.

I will talk more about bad neighborhood in part 2. I also will be talking about Slum Lords as well. So stay tune for part 2 next week!

Have you ever took a drive out into the country and happened to see these eye sores called wind turbines?

I don’t know about you but they are ugly and very harmful to nature, the environment and anyone who is near them.

First of all, the tower of cans that stood on the outskirt of Casselton, North Dakota is more special than these wind turbines. Yet the elites had it torn down.

The wind turbines are more harmful than the Keystone Pipeline to the environment. The pipeline is underground; where they cannot really affect too much. Whereas, these wind turbines stands up high.

A wind turbine is a device that converts the wind’s kinetic energy into electrical energy. They are suppose to produce clean energy. Their blades are designed to capture the maximum energy from the wind.

What makes them very harmful is the blade for one. When birds fly overhead or even near them, they can easily get their wings clip or whatever else clip, causing them to fall to their death. Many birds were killed because of these wind turbines.

Now birds are not the only animals that are hurt because wind turbines. It affect every animals around these wind turbines. The ears of the animals are very sensitive; and that animals can hear; whereas humans may not hear as likely.

Wind energy can have adverse environmental impacts, including the potential to reduce, fragment, or degrade habitat for wildlife, fish and plants. Furthermore, spinning turbine blades can pose a threat to flying wildlife like birds and bats.

The people behind creating these wind turbines would bribe farmers to get them to allow them to be built on their land; knowing that farmers could easily use the money. Yet, they don’t tell the whole truth on how much damage they will do.

They are propping up all over in the country.

If you take a drive out to Rollag, Minnesota, you will see a whole bunch of wind turbines. They are not far from our old farm.

If you happened to be outside, they can take your breath away. You just feel a heaviness on your chest, making it almost impossible to breathe. So they don’t just harm wildlife, they also harm livestock as well as humans walking outside.

I recently heard that the Progressive Left wants to eliminate the rural areas; just so they can get more votes in future elections. People who lives in the country have a tendency to vote Conservative or Republicans.

When a person take a drive out by Hawley, you will notice how these big fancy houses are propping up more and more. Where there used to be trees and wildlife,; there are now fancy almost mansion. Some probably have their own swimming pool and such.

Don’t get me wrong I can understand wanting to get away from the craziness of the big cities life; even in Fargo. It’s very relaxing to get out in the country and even by the lakes.

You have to leave the craziness of the city behind when getting the hell out of town. Otherwise, you will never really relax.

If we destroy the countryside; where else can go to get the hell out of dodge?

This is God’s country and they are destroying it little by little; even with these damn wind turbines. Wildlife are losing their homes because of them. People like AOC and all those who are promoting Global warming should take a look at how these wind turbines are destroying wildlife in the countryside. Then again, AOC wants to ban cow farts; she wouldn’t care that wind turbines are destroying the wildlife. People who lives in the cities just don’t get the harm being done by these wind turbines. They see dollars sign and clean air; that’s what they believed.

I can understand wanting to find other sources of natural energy; but wind turbines isn’t safe for the environment. They actually hurt wildlife and the environment more than the pipeline; which is underground.

Do you ever feel that your body goes out more than you?

I don’t know about you, I find that I cannot do some of the stuff I did when I was younger. It seems that I have more aches and pains. I even have to go to a chiropractor every once in a while to get my body realign. I even found a good one with Dr. David.

When we were kids we would be told to go take a nap; in which we hated. Now as we are older, a nap feels good.

When you are kids and see your parents or any adults, we saw them as being OLD. We couldn’t even fathomed us ever getting old.

When a person turned 30, some say, “It’s all downhill from there.”

I have to say when I turned 30, I was still in my prime. I started losing my hair though. I even told my mother, if I ever go bald, I’ll get a toupee. I just didn’t want to think of going bald. Now, I just seem to accept it as part of aging. I think it’s just part of midlife crisis for us men.

When we hit a certain age, men have a tendency of going through a midlife crisis because they are afraid of getting older. Sometimes a midlife crisis can hurt a marriage and lead to divorce. Some men will cheat on their wives with a much younger model. Sometimes, men will buy fancy sports car or anything to make an impression; and try to show that they are not getting older.

When you are young, you thinks that you are invincible, that you will live forever. Who would even think about putting money away for retirement? We thinks that our parents were old and out-of-touch with reality. As we get older, we are thankful for their wisdom they taught us.

Believe me, I was a party animal. It was nothing to stay up late partying; and then go to work the next day with not much sleep.

Now that I’m older, I cannot stay up as late as I used to and still get up early the next day for work. I need my beauty sleep now.

Another thing about getting older I discovered is that I prefer my solitude, my peace and quiet. In a way I became an introvert; when normally I’m an extrovert.

I used to think working in retails for 12 years made me hate being around people; especially crazy stupid people.

When I was younger, it was too boring on the farm. All you did was work!

Now I miss the farm and the peace and quiet.

As a Christian witness, a person shouldn’t think like this; but I have to admit, I love to be by myself once in a while. It has nothing to do with depression either.

If I ever win a Powerball or my blog goes viral; I would get the hell of of dodge. I would go to where there isn’t much people. I love Glacier National Park because of the beauty and solitude.

I have to admit, at times, I feel like Bill Engvall, when he would joked and say, “I hate stupid people!” I hate being out after dark in Fargo because of how big Fargo had grown.

I remembered when Fargo was smaller, less crimes, and even safer to be out after dark. When I’m not working, I try to get my personal stuff done like shopping or any other businesses done early; so that I can be home before dark. Then when I’m home, I do the stuff I need to do at home then.

When I lived on the North side of Fargo, I didn’t much think about being out walking after dark. I would cut through alley and such. I wouldn’t do it now as much; unless I have to.

Tomorrow, on Aug. 9 I turn 56 and believe me, I’m looking forward to the time when I can retire. Hopefully, in 9-10 years I can retire if not earlier.

I got 3 of my vacation days off from work for this week; I could work at the Fargo Dome for the Guns & Roses concert to make extra money; but I very much needed to get the hell out of Fargo for at lease those 3 days. So I chose going to Lake Geneva in Alexandria, MN.

You can call me old if you want, I don’t care!!

Even though it’s my birthday, this blog is my birthday gift to my readers. ENJOY!!

As I’m getting older, I missed my parents.

To all those whippersnapper, respect your elders; because you too are gonna get old. You time is coming! Live your life while you’re young! Just remember, we all are getting older! That’s a part of life!

So if I seems to be cynic sometimes, take it as wisdom of what I had learned throughout my life. Wisdom comes with age and living your life to the fullest.

Have you ever run into someone who thinks they are better than you, someone who is snobbish to you when you meet?

You can expect a celebrity to act so haughty but don’t have to accept it.

Years ago, when Mel Gibson and Reese Witherspoon was pulled over for drunk driving, they both said to the police, “You know who I am?” Like they were expecting special treatment because they were big stars!

There is a local celebrity that also made that same comment. The person, I am talking about is Mikey Hoeven. I heard from a reliable source that when Mikey was at Apple Creek Country Club in Bismarck, ND; she commented to the staff, “You know who I am?” It was like she was expecting special treatment because her husband was either the governor or the Senator at the time. She thinks that she deserve it; much like Reese Witherspoon and Mel Gibson.

I’m here to tell her, John Hoeven isn’t anything special. As governor and even as Senator, he hadn’t done anything worthwhile.

As my mother would say about people like that, “They thinks their shit doesn’t stink but their farts give them away.” Believe me, my mother knew few people like that, even in Rollag, MN.

They put their pants on like anybody else, one leg at a time.

Yet it seems, some people with power will act snooty and better than you just because they in the authority and have the rights to do so. I mean, some managers can be that way to the help. When confronted, they get angry and defensive with you. They demands respect for who they are.

When you run into people like that, do you ever feel like Octavia Spencer’s character in the greatest movie recently, “The Help; when she baked a pie for her snobbish employer and later, told her to “Eat my shit!” I have to admit I loved that line along with that movie; because it spoke to us today as well as back in the 60’s.

Then there’s some self-righteous preachers who are quick to condemned you; instead preaching God’s love and forgiveness. They are like the Pharisees back in Jesus’ days, hypocrites! To them, I say, “All have sinned and fall short of the grace of God.” They are no better than anyone of us just because they are preachers. They should pick the thorn out of their own eyes before judging us.

Back to Mikey Hoeven, she is in her Ivory tower looking down at us, much like Nancy Pelosi who lives in a gated mansion in California while the people she represented are struggling financially. She doesn’t seem to care though. She is on a power trip, much like Mikey, Reese and Mel. Even some managers and self-righteous preachers are also on this power trip. Because they are on this power trip, they come across as high and mighty and treat us as low life.

Yet at the same time, it’s not always people of high position that’s on their high horse. Some people just have that kind of personality too.

I don’t know about you, I’m uncomfortable around people like that.

To Mikey Hoeven, we know who you are that doesn’t impress me at all. Matter of fact, after I heard that from her, I lost respect for her husband, John. I’m a Republican and I still have a hard time in voting for him. There were times that I wrote my own name on the ballot instead voting for him or his opponent. At times, when a person vote for him, you just feel dirty afterwards and needs a shower.

So first of all to Reese Witherspoon and Mel Gibson, we know who you are; and we just don’t don’t care. When you drive drunk, you deserve to be pulled over.

To these self-righteous preachers, we all have sinned and fall short of the grace of God.

Believe me, someday I wish I had the courage that Octavia Spencer’s character had and tell them to eat my shit or take this job and shove it! Yet sometimes you just need to hold your tongue to keep your job.

Do you know who I am, Mikey Hoeven? I know who you are and you are nobody special and either is your husband. I’m the blogger that will write about people like you. I’m a voter, who may or may not vote for your husband.

To anyone who thinks that they are better, you put your pants on just like anybody else, one leg at a time. Your shit stinks as well as your farts. So get off your damn high horse! No one deserve special treatment because who they are or think they are. You will get no respect from me when you are acting so high and mighty. I don’t care who you are, if your rich or poor, educated or not, a blue-collared or white-collared workers.

In my lifetime there had been 3 worst Presidents, and I will be talking about them in this blog. Even though, there have been other Presidents throughout our history.

I’m first going to begin with Jimmy Carter. Not only was he a weak President, he was also the worst President in my lifetime and even top the list as the worst President in history.

After the death of the first George Bush, Jimmy Carter became the oldest living former Presidents at the age of 96. He was a peanut farmer from Georgia and their former Governor as well before becoming President of the United States in 1976. He was a relative unknown at the time.

He was elected President because Ford never stood a chance. The American people were upset with the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal involving former President Richard Nixon. 2 things that hurt Ford; he should had never pardoned Nixon, then maybe he would had a chance. I’m not saying that Ford would had been good though.

Carter may had done some good things but he was one of the worse President in history. The peace treaty between Egypt and Israel may had been a good thing under his watch. You decide though! The things that I’m talking mainly about was Habitat for Humanity. It’s a work project to build houses for low-income peoples.

That is one main good things Carter had done for the American people. It help to get some of the homeless off the street by building a house for them with the help of volunteers. It just didn’t give the homeless a handout; it help them to get back on their feet, so they can get back to work and become a prominent part of society.

That’s all the homeless want, a chance to make it. They don’t want to constantly be getting handouts from the government. Even though those on the Left thinks they do. Carter knew that despite being a Democrat.

Let us go into the part of him being one of the worst President in history. First of all, he had a brother named Billy Carter; also famous known as Billy Beer. I’m not going after his brother, I’m just getting this out in the open.

When Carter was President, Inflation was at an all-time high. There was long lines at the gas pumps due the oil crisis under his watch. There was also high unemployment. He gave back the Panama Canal to it’s original owner, another big mistake.

Before I get the big things that hurt Carter, he was known as the “smiling” President. Every time you would see him was always smiling even when he shouldn’t had been. You probably didn’t know this about me, I could easily imitate Carter.

Carter was a born again Christian and a Baptist. Him and his wife, Rosalynn had 4 kids. We all know about their daughter, Amy; who grew up in the White House so to speak. He had 3 others kids as well. The only other ones known was their son, Jack Carter.

Another horrible crisis that happened during Carter’s Presidency that showed him as being a weak President was the Iranian took our Americans hostages. He had done nothing to negotiated or to get them back home where they belong. They were held in Iran for over a year until Reagan became President. Then they released the hostages because they feared Reagan and what he would do if they didn’t.

The next worst President in my lifetime goes to George W. Bush. As I had told you in a previous blog, I never wanted him in the first place; even though the Established Republicans did. There was only one good things he did even though it wasn’t handled very well came after 9/11. If Al Gore was President, he probably had done nothing, like Carter.

During George W. Bush’s terms, when I prayed, I prayed that he would be impeach. He was just a puppet for the Rhino’s Republicans. Matter of fact, in 2004, I almost didn’t vote at all because I didn’t want Bush or Kerry. So I understood when there were people last election who didn’t want Trump or Biden.

Once again in 2016, the Rhinos Republicans wanted Jeb Bush but the American people had enough with the Bushes at that time. George W. Bush was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Now, can I get a drumroll please? The President who fast taking the title of the worst President of the United States goes to Joe Biden. Otherwise known as Dementia Dog and his Bitch.

Right away when Biden took office he not only stopped the building of the Keystone Pipeline, he also stopped the building of the Wall. He created an open-door policy, allowing illegal immigrants to come into this country even during this Pandemic. Once again, inflation is at an all-time high like it was when Carter was President. We have an energy crisis and unemployment crisis as well under Biden as well.

The other countries are laughing at America right now because of Biden. They see Biden as being weak and he’s losing his mind. Just like George W. Bush, he is also a puppet; but this time to the Progressive Left. The other countries are testing him to see how weak he really is. He’s weak on crime and weak on terrorist.

Since he had taken office, there had been 3 cyber attack that hit our country to hurt us financially and thus. He’s giving in to blackmail. One thing you never do as President. He’s not even acknowledging the crisis at the Southern Border or the crisis in Cuba and Haiti. He’s too busy allowing Socialism into our country instead.

To those who hated Trump and said that he sent too many mean tweet, Biden is more of bully and a racist than Trump ever was. Let us take a look at some of his comments. Biden had threatened to take a reporter out back to whip his ass. He made threats against those who refused to get the vaccine by telling them, “You’re all gonna pay!” That’s no way to encourage people.

I do want to say this though, there was a former manager from Kmart who reminds me of Joe Biden in looks and attitude. I won’t say his name though. I just feel sorry for him that he have to resemble Biden, that’s all!

I could go on going after Biden, but I have to leave some during his 4 years in office; and I hope and pray that it only be 4 years. Otherwise, America is screwed! We need Biden out before he destroy America.

My message to Jimmy Carter is this, “If you are waiting to die until someone take the title as worst President from you. You can do so now; because Biden is fast taking that title away from you.” I don’t mean any ill will to come on Jimmy Carter when I say this either.

There you have it folks, my pick for the 3 worst Presidents in my lifetime. There have been others throughout this country history. Some of them I will probably talk about later more. Woodrow Wilson, LBJ, Nixon, Hoover, to just name just a few.

What is your reason for not using your seatbelt in the car? Do you feel confined and uncomfortable?

If you feel confined wearing a seatbelt; it’s similar to wearing the mask during the pandemic at first.

Do you feel that you might be trapped in the car if somehow it goes into the water or about to burn?

I’m here to tell you, seatbelts are made much better now than years ago. In some of these newer cars, the moment you shut your door and turned on the engine, your seatbelt will buckle you in; so you don’t have to bother.

In the past seatbelts wasn’t much pushed; until the government made it mandatory to wear your seatbelt or be fined.

Matter of fact, if your mother was anything like my mother, she was the seatbelt. Whenever my mother would come to a quick stop; she would used her arm to blocked you from going forward into the windshield. Even after seatbelts were required, she would still felt necessary to put her arm in front of you.

When in school and going through driver’s training, they would show horror films of car accidents and what would happened if you weren’t wearing your seatbelt. You would either be thrown from the vehicle through the windshield or fall out the door and maybe even get rolled over.

Not once did they showed footage of a person being trapped inside the car before it exploded or goes under water. Even though, that was in the back of many minds at the time to prevent people from wearing their seatbelts.

I have to admit, I felt that way myself. It’s depend who I was with, how quick I put my seatbelt on. But things later change for me on the ideas of putting on my seatbelt.

One of the things that I have in common with Hank Williams Jr., we came close to being killed in a mountain accident.

It was the summer of the year my mother had passed away. I was on vacation out to Washington State. That was the year I had flown for my second time in an airplane. I was out visiting relatives that summer. I was with one of my cousin, as she took me and two of her granddaughters up Mount Rainier to see the sight. We took the road as high that it went before coming back down. As we were going back down, we came upon the same slow car going up. Anyway, that car was stopped in the middle of our lane. We weren’t going very fast; but when a person is going downhill, you cannot stop on a dime. There was really no warning when we hit that car.

I don’t know if you believe in angels watching over a person; but I believed that my mother was watching over me on my vacation when I was in a car accident on Mount Rainier.

I heard people say that I was very lucky to be alive today. The way we hit the other car, I could had been hurt much worse than what I was.

I believed it was a combination of my mother’s spirit watching over me to keep me safe, the seatbelt I was wearing, and the airbags that deployed as we hit the other car. If it wasn’t for the seatbelt and my mother’s spirit; I could had went smack into the airbag. I could had broken my glasses and maybe even my neck or back upon collision.

As they were prying my cousin out of her seat, someone else was checking on me to make sure that I had no concussion or badly injured. They even had me sit still outside on the side of the road until everything was ok with me to move.

So you see, the mountain tried to kill not only Hank Williams Jr., but also me. I still loved the mountains though. They are so beautiful and peaceful.

So ever since that accident, I have gained the ultimate respect for wearing my seatbelt. I don’t even hesitate in putting my seatbelt on, no matter who I am with. I’m forever grateful that I’m alive today because of wearing my seatbelt, and for the airbag that deployed when it did. I’m even grateful that my mother was watching over me from up in heaven. You could say, she put her arms in front of me as the car came to a sudden stop to prevent me from going head first into the airbag and causing more damage to me.

After a year of being lockdown because of his Pandemic that we were in, people are itching to get out and travel. They are tired of being cooped up. In the words of May West, “Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!” Seatbelts does save lives despite being uncomfortable. I’m living proof of it!

Here’s a question to all those who just seems to hate America and want to destroy our country. If America is so bad, why are they coming in groves to America?

Think about that as you are hating America and is out to destroy our country!

Those who are coming to this country illegally are just trying to get away from their corrupt Socialist Government in their home country. They want the freedom we have here and a better chance at life. One they cannot get in their own country.

Little do they know, Today’s Socialist Democrats are being just as corrupt as their government.

When Biden took office, not only did he stopped the building of the Keystone Pipeline, he also stopped the construction of the wall on the border. He created an open-door policy, allowing illegal immigrants to come right in.

At the same time, we were going through a pandemic and everything was shut down for health reasons. What was he thinking? The problem was, he wasn’t thinking. His cognitive thinking is out-of-whack because of him suffering with dementia.

Before I go after Biden/Harris, let me take you to the beginning of the problem. The person who should take part of the responsibility for this is former President George W. Bush. When George W. Bush was President and after 9/11, he created a policy to keep terrorist out of the country to protect America. He made it tougher to go and leave Canada then what it was.

When I was a kid, a person can go to Canada to fish or whatever with no questions ask. The only question asked was, “What’s your reason for coming to Canada?”

Now, you need a passport to go to Canada!

But yet, the illegal immigrants don’t need a passport to come to America through our Southern Border. Why is that, George W. Bush?

Another thing, as Biden created an open-door policy on our Southern Border with Mexico during the Pandemic, the border with Canada remained closed during it.

Under Obama, cages were built to caged up the children of these illegal immigrants. The mainstream news media made a big stink of it when Trump was President; when it was Obama who was responsible for it.

These cages were/are unsantized.

The cartels loved it when Biden shut down the building of the wall and created an open-door at the Southern Border. The reasons they loved it was they were using these children of illegal immigrants to smuggle drugs and deadly weapons into our country. They were also using these children as child sex slaves.

The Democrats seems to love it to see illegal immigrants come to America. They will give them anything they want with no question asked.

The hard-working Americans have a tougher time in getting any help from the Government from the DMV to Social Security to welfare assistance. They don’t have to cut through all the red tapes as we do. We worked hard for our money. Getting things we need shouldn’t be that hard, there shouldn’t be so much hoops to jump through.

When Trump was President, he had things under control at the Southern Border. He was building a wall. I’m not saying that the wall was perfect; but it was more than George W. Bush, Obama, and now Biden is doing to stop the mad rush of illegal immigrants coming to America.

The only thing that Kamala Harris is doing is giving these countries money to keep their people there. How stupid is that?

These immigrants are leaving their country because of their corrupt Socialist Government. They are just going to pocket the money themselves and not help their people.

Like I mentioned in previous blog, when you give money to another country to help with such things as hunger and thirst, you must watch who is getting the money. Is it the government? Will the money be put to good use? To make sure that the money will be put to good use, the best way is through your church missionary.

By giving the government the money, they will just pocket it and continue looking for more.

Usually when a crisis hit, the President and Vice-President goes to where the crisis is to see what they can do to help. Since the crisis at the border happened, both Biden and Harris had not visited the Southern Border. The reason why, Biden had created the crisis.

None of the Democrats had gone to the Southern Border during the crisis. Yet, they went when Trump was President and used the mainstream news media to spread lies against Trump.

George W. Bush hadn’t even went to the Southern Border either. He too should go to the border as well.

When Ted Cruz went to the border and was taking pictures at what was going on, The staff there was blocking his view to keep the American people from knowing the truth on what was going on there.

I’m glad that Governor Greg Abbot from Texas decided to continue the work on building of the Wall and is doing what he can to stop the influx of illegal immigrants entering the United States through Texas. He’s doing the job that Biden should be doing. He cares for the American people’s safety.

He’s not alone either. Other states with Republicans governors are sending help down to Texas, and the Southern border.

If Biden doesn’t want to do his job to protect America, it’s time that each states stand up to Biden and do what he’s not doing.

It’s time to take back America from Biden and those who is out to destroy our country! We have 2-4 years to build up ourselves an army to take back America. In 2 years we can take back the House and in 4 years, take back the White House; and throw those bums out. I just hope that it won’t be too late for America.
