Round Up Star Date 2021.264
Sep 21, 2021 Opinion, Political, Tyranny
1. Same old song and dance. Well, here we are with the government up against the debt ceiling. The minority party is balking at raising the limit while the majority is saying they all must “do the right thing” and raise the limit. The majority can do it on its own with no support from the minority but that is a political suicide waiting to happen. That amounts to giving your opponent the tools with which to beat you. A familiar story is playing out. The limit was hit in July but extreme measures will keep the US running until mid October and they have not been able to reach a deal so the compromise is to extend the limit short term, until December (and of course tack a few trinkets on for good measure), and then they will have time to accomplish raising the debt limit and funding the government. This plays out every time. Here is what will happen; they will pass the short term limit increase and then in December, right as Christmas approaches and they all want to go home they will pass a huge increase in the debt limit and spend a boatload of money to appease each other. Then they will come before the cameras with the majority telling its supporters they finally made the minority come around to the correct way of thinking. They didn’t get all they wanted but they got a lot. The minority will come before the cameras and tell us that they tried but dog gone it they just could not prevent the increase. They will all go back inside, slap each other on the back and head home for the holidays while taxpayers are left wondering how they were raped yet again. This happens all the time. If they needed more time they should have spent August working on it instead of on recess. They should be working on this instead of the BS global warming new deal crap. But this has been planned all along. They always push things until December and then work around the clock to make us think they are negotiating. Then they hit us with a predetermined outcome, they pretend they did the best they could and they pretend that it is good for the country.
2. If they want to fix the debt issue the first thing to do is to cut government spending. Both parties spend more than we have even when the government receives record levels of income from our taxes. The more they get the more they spend. We need to take a cleaver to the federal budget. I think that they should cut all unconstitutional spending. I do not want to entertain ideas about how they twist the Constitution to allow things. Nowhere in there is there a provision for paying welfare (no, the preamble and the general welfare statement are not about that kind of welfare). We do not need to send billions of dollars to other countries. We are not the world’s ATM. Let them fend for themselves. There are agencies not authorized under the Constitution, get rid of them. Pare the government down to those things only authorized by the Founding Documents and make it a lean government. Once we have cut the trillions of dollars of waste we can go about changing the budget process. Right now, federal agencies are spending billions of dollars on things they do not need and should not be buying. The government’s fiscal year ends 30 September and each year around this time agencies that have excess money go on spending sprees to buy furniture, computers, office supplies, you name it. They spend billions of dollars instead of turning the unspent money back in. They do this because next year’s budget is based on this year’s and they are afraid if they return money they will get less for next year. This is a terrible way to run anything. If a business ran like this Congress would be calling the CEOs in for a chat. I think they should go to a two year federal budget where agencies submit requests for the amount of money they need to operate. Any agency with money left over at the end of the process would return it and the agency would receive a small percentage of that money for morale, welfare and support programs as an incentive. All agencies would be barred from making huge purchases in September.
3. If it were my wife or daughter. The Biden Regime cares little about Americans or the nation. He is mandating vaccines for citizens who do not want them but allowing ILLEGAL aliens to enter the country and be released without being vaccinated. Biden had a catastrophic withdraw from Afghanistan that, after 20 years, billions of dollars, lost lives and life altering injuries, is right back where it started. Biden’s hasty and poorly conceived withdraw resulted in tens of thousands of Afghanis, mostly men of fighting age, ending up in the US. These people are being housed at military bases across the nation until Biden can release them into different states. It seems that many governors are happy to have them. That is probably because governors get armed police to protect them. Whistleblower reports indicate these Afghanis are causing problems at the military bases including criminal acts, assault and RAPE. It should come as no surprise because where ever they put Middle Eastern men there is always an uptick in crime and there is always an uptick in rape. These people do not care about women and they think it is perfectly OK to rape them. Biden is importing this. I can’t figure, for the life of me, why no member of the military who has been affected has not opened fire and eliminated the problem. If it were my wife or daughter I would hunt the bastard down and shoot him. I would then smear his body with pig grease and hang him for the buzzards to eat as a reminder to the others. Biden plans of filtering these people into your neighborhoods. All I can say is if they come to your neighborhood and cause trouble shoot them. In a sane world these people would have been put in other ME nations where they could engage in their 7th century lifestyle with like minded people. In a slightly less sane world the people will be released in the neighborhoods of liberals so they can live with their blunder. In my world they get shot if they step out of line. IOW, touch the women in my family and you die.
4. Big brother is watching. Biden wants to have your bank report any balance over $600 to the government in order to keep tabs on what billionaires are doing with their money because everyone knows everyone with $600 in the bank is a billionaire. The government wants to keep track of your money (probably so they know if you have more for them to take) and that is never a good thing. Now there is word that instead of your standard credit score developed by looking at your loan and payment history as well as debt to income ratio they want to start using your browsing history to determine your credit worthiness. The internet already tracks a lot of what you do and you might have to provide a browser history when applying for a loan if the International Monetary Fund (IMF) gets its way. The claim is that this will help the underserved or those who might not make it based on the old standards. Here is a clue, this will not be good for anyone but the government. I am opposed to government being involved in anything in my life so I am certain I will not be providing my browser history. Anyone who thinks this is a good idea deserves what happens to them. I would say that they could make it voluntary so that if your loan was not approved you could then submit your history but that would only lead to more abuse. Soon EVERYONE would be denied so that they could get a peek at your browser history. I do not need them looking at my browser to get a loan. I damn sure will not let them tell me otherwise. We are well on our way to the systems set up in Australia and China. Eventually you will comply or you will get nothing. Sounds to me like that jackass Mark Zuckerberg was involved in writing this up. He loves all the info on you he can get so he can target you with ads. Put your money in a credit union. They do not have to report your balance (I bet most of Congress has their money in a credit union).
5. It is a good start. The government is a revolving door between federal service and contractors or lobbyists. The Defense Department is a prime example. People at the Pentagon leave the service and go to work for a defense contractor drawing a huge salary for the connections they have inside the Puzzle Palace.
A recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report found that 14 major military contractors have hired 1,718 former senior Pentagon officials over a five-year span. A group of good-governance advocates are pushing reforms seeking to prevent potential conflicts of interest posed by this activity.
The Sept. 9 GAO report found that of 1,497,882 people who left the Department of Defense (DOD) between 2014 and 2019, 37,032 of them went to work for one of the 14 major contractors reviewed. Of those, 1,718 were senior officials, according to the report. ~ Source
The government is attempting to remedy this by placing a one year (or two) wait on people transitioning from the government to the contractors. I think that anyone who was involved in any aspect of the contract business regardless of which company or companies they dealt with should have to wait a long time, perhaps five years, before working for a contractor. I think any contractor who recruits should be penalized and I think anyone who uses their service to benefit themselves through the contractor (in violation of the law) should receive jail time. But let us not stop there. Members of Congress should be forbidden from leaving government and going to lobbyists, think tanks and any other groups that pay them lots of money for access to government. I personally think all lobbyists (K street) should be forced to move out of DC and not be allowed to lobby members of Congress while it is in session. I would forbid all lobbying but I imagine that would violate a right or two. I also think that people should not be allowed to come from the companies doing business with the government to work for the government. There are rules in place but Congress has exemptions it can grant so they just ignore common sense and grant exemptions. If we had followed the rules Lloyd Austin would not be the SECDEF and maybe, just maybe, 13 souls would not have been lost in Kabul. We might not have all the social justice BS distracting the military from its primary mission. We need reform but it has to have teeth so people face serious problems when they go astray.

Sep 20, 2021 Commentary, Political, Tyranny, Vaccines
1. Judges in North Carolina decided that the State’s voter ID requirements were discriminatory because minorities do not have ID cards so they must be the ones targeted by evil Republicans. The ruling will be appealed and saner judges will overrule this nonsense. First of all this is 2021. Tell me how any person in the US makes it through any year without having to show ID for something. You have to show ID to enroll in classes, get on a plane, buy alcohol or tobacco and you have to show ID to buy a firearm. So unless the law requiring an ID is discriminatory for the gun buyers it can’t be for voters. This is 2021. It is easy to get an ID and most places that require them to vote will provide them FREE OF CHARGE. The reality is the court in this case is the racist in the room. They assume people of color are not bright enough to get an ID. And the article mentions how this affects the poor. The poor had to have ID to sign up for the many generous welfare benefits the taxpayers are forced to provide. I imagine none of them complained about needing ID to get free money. So spare me. If you do not have an ID to vote it is because you were too lazy to go get one. Seems to me these democrat cheater groups could take people to get IDs instead of stealing their ballots and voting for them. Judges are tyrants in black robes.
2. When the plandemic started I monitored Sweden and I reported regularly (before Facebook put me in jail) that Sweden was not locking people down and that they were not any worse off than places that did. I also mentioned that the only thing they lamented was not protecting the elderly more at the beginning. They did it right and by so doing they are reporting no deaths from Covid. They are getting rid of any vaccines that are left because no one wants them. They can do that since they do not have a Fauci trying to increase vax rates to get more money from the investments. If this nation, an allegedly advanced nation, would have protected the vulnerable and left everyone else alone (as I preached from the beginning) we would be done with this but then again there would have been no fear porn to allow the cheating in the election…
3. Indiana’s biggest hospital system has parted ways with 125 staff members who refused to get the Covid Vaccine. I imagine the hospital will be begging for help when they cannot replace the talent they chased out the door. Here is a statement that makes me laugh:
“Indiana University Health has put the safety and well-being of patients and team members first by requiring employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Sept. 1,” IU Health said in a Sept. 16 statement. “After a two-week unpaid suspension period ending Sept. 14, a total of 125 employees, the equivalent of 61 full-time employees, chose not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and have left the organization.”
Indiana University Health, like every other health system in the nation, did not put the well being of its team members first when they forced them all to come in all through the worst part of the pandemic. The system did not give a second thought to how many team members were being placed in harm’s way as long as they kept pumping out Covid cases to get the system higher reimbursements form the government. Every team member put themselves and their families at risk in order to show up every single day to do their jobs. Now that there is a vaccine they are all of the sudden a burden and have to be let go. I say the next time there is a pandemic the staff refuses to work until there is a vaccine. Soon there will be shortages across the nation. Some of the folks will be asked to come back and not forced to get a shot. They should request double the salary to do so.
4. Other emergency responders are in the same situation. Firefighters in Gainesville Florida must be vaccinated by 31 October or they will be terminated. These are the people who run into burning buildings, stand on busy highways pulling people out of wrecks and who rush toward disasters like Hurricane Ida. If these folks go who will do the job? Imagine how it will be when a house is on fire and the fire department can’t respond because they were all terminated for not getting a vaccine they did not need to work during all of the pandemic. I only hope the burning houses, wrecked vehicles and disasters affect the people responsible for this. Maybe if no one can respond to their emergencies they will see things differently. Just like with medical staff, when they call you to come back demand they double your pay.
7. Democrats are very upset because the Senate Parliamentarian said their scheme to give citizenship to illegals through reconciliation cannot be done. As soon as Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough reported her decision the left went bonkers. They immediately started saying that it is only a recommendation and should be ignored. Bomb vest wearing terrorist Congress Critter Ilhan Omar tweeted; “We can’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to do the right thing.” So to this dingbat it is OK to do the wrong thing (ignore the Parliamentarian) to do what she thinks is the right thing. Keep in mind that these are the people who said Donald Trump was a dictator and that he ignored the law and the rules. They impeached him over a phone call with a claim that he violated the rules (he did not). Is this the new norm? If I decide that I can carry a firearm anywhere I want gun control laws to the contrary be damned, will Omar and the others ignore my disregard for the law because I think it is the right thing to do? BTW, I believe all citizens should be able to carry a firearm anywhere they want, any time they want. But you see the point. Can we ignore the rules if it is what we consider the “right thing”?
8. RINO Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana is telling the Republican base to forget about the election fraud that took place in 2020 and concentrate on 2024. He claims that if we do not let it be we will lose in 2024. If we do not fix it we will lose in 2024 because if they cheated once they will cheat again but don’t tell the Senator that he might not be done eating the paste. We are capable of doing more than one thing at a time Senator. We can focus on 2024 and still hold people accountable for the law breaking that took place. Folks who do not live in political fantasy land are able to do more than one thing at a time. Why is it that Congress Critters always want to excuse illegal behavior (especially if they are the ones who still have a seat)? Imagine hearing these words at different times in history. Senator Cassidy says to ignore Pearl Harbor or we might lose the war. Senator Cassidy says to ignore 9/11 or we might lose to the terrorists. On that one he might be right. Twenty years ago when we went into Afghanistan women and girls could not attend school, were subservient to men and treated as property and sold into marriage. Billions of dollars and too many deaths and injuries later and that is now exactly what is taking place. Maybe guys like Cassidy should focus on their own things and stop telling us what to concern ourselves with.

1. Is the Pope Catholic? That used to be a retort to indicate that the answer to some query was affirmative. Now I ask it as an actual question. Pope Francis, who is a liberal Socialist (and probably Communist), is revered by Catholics around the world. They have no choice. They have been indoctrinated that this guy is holy and must be placed in high esteem. Not me. I once was Catholic but the Catholic church left me. I decided that I did not need to be a Catholic when they made special exemptions to the rules (like you can’t eat meat on Friday BUT we are having a spaghetti and MEATball dinner on Friday and you are allowed to attend). I was completely disgusted by the amount of child molestation that took (and takes) place in the church. Priests sexually abuse children and the church reassigns them so they can select new victims. Now we have Pope Frankie saying that, yes, abortion is murder but I just don’t think we should deny communion to alleged Catholic politicians who support abortion. Any other Catholic who supports abortion gets shown the door but America sends money and Joe molests kids like some of the priests do so he is like one of the family. The Catholic church is a joke that is concerned with money and making sure it can thwart lawsuits for molestation that would remove that money from the coffers.
2. The FBI is a criminal organization and it is the one law enforcement agency I could support being defunded. It has a shady history of criminal activity while being run by a criminal who used his position to build dossiers on politicians and then used them to achieve what he wanted. There have been great agents over the years but any such agents now hide behind their cell phones ignoring what the criminals are doing. If they refuse to speak up when something is wrong then they are part of the problem. Comey and his band of criminals used a phony dossier to hamstring Donald Trump and his agenda. Comey was engaged in criminal activity to take down the duly elected president. In testimony before Congress a number of young ladies, gymnasts who were treated by Dr. Larry Nassar, told of how they informed the FBI of the sexual abuse they were subjected to at his hands. They were ignored and Nassar went on to abuse more than 70 young ladies. The monsters in the FBI allowed it to continue. If it had been my daughter who had been raped and the FBI did nothing I am afraid they would not have to worry about firing the guy responsible.
3. But have no fear. The FBI is going to take steps to see it never happens again. That statement is government speak for “we got caught and we are saying we will do better and then we will move on and forget about it.” This is the pattern all of government takes. They deliberately fail to do their jobs or they violate your rights or break the law then when caught, they promise to make it better and fix things. “This is not who we are” they say BUT it is who they are. Do I really need to list the number of times a government agency has violated your rights, ignored the Constitution or acted in a way contrary to the law? There are two fall back positions for the government. The first was seen in the 2020 election. Deny wrongdoing took place and continue to tell you that things are fine despite any evidence to the contrary. This is only the fall back when the outcome is what they want. George W. Bush won? OMG, there must be widespread election fraud. Donald Trump won? OMG, there must be election fraud and the Russians helped him cheat. Joe Biden “wins” and gets more votes than the first black guy and first woman to run for president and it is no fraud here. Free and fair election. You must be a conspiracy theorist to think such things. Trust us, we are the government. The other position is to admit wrong doing. Say it is not how things are normally done and that they will make sure it does not happen again. Then they leave the spotlight and ignore it, it happens again, they say the same thing, wash, rinse repeat.
Wray said changes have been made at the FBI in light of what happened, including making agents who are handling similar cases document allegations that are reported to them.
Wray apologized to the gymnasts who testified and said he was “especially sorry that there were people at the FBI who had their own chance to stop this monster … and failed,” adding that “we are doing everything in our power to make sure it never happens again.” ~ Source
And there it is. Christopher Wray should be relieved of his duties. Like I said, defund the FBI (then defund Congress).
4. The Nanny State has arrived (OK, it has been here for a while but is getting bolder). As you may know by now, the tyrant known and Joe Biden has mandated vaccines for about 100 million people. He used a work around to deliberately end run the Constitution and he thinks himself quite clever. There are generally two reasons (legal ones) for an exemption to the vaccine. One is a medical exemption and the other a religious one. The third is screw you I don’t want it now leave me alone. In any event, the Biden Regime will be monitoring the exemptions to make sure they are not abused. So we now have a medical surveillance state where they know if you have been vaccinated for the China Virus or if you received an exemption and they will look to see if your exemption is an abuse of the system. These people work for us not the other way around. They are getting more and more tyrannical as each day passes. I imagine this will escalate to where you do not receive Social Security without a vaccine. You do not get treatment under Medicare without a vaccine. No grocery shopping or buying a new car or renewing a driver’s license without a vaccine. It is going to get to the point where the unvaccinated band together and form militia units that arm themselves and use threat of force to get what is denied them by government. There are not enough government goons to stop that. I think the fuse is close to being lit.
5. Covid is deadly, ahhhh, fear, ahhh look out, ahhhh get a mask on, ahhhhh, social distance, ahhhhh get vaccinated…..Fear is one of the greatest weapons and is more useful in propaganda than anything else. If you make people afraid of something they will do whatever they are told. The China Virus was introduced into society and government hyped it as a deadly killer and backed the claim up with case and death reporting methods that made the virus seem more than it is. If the common cold were reported using the same requirements as reporting for Covid the cold would be far deadlier and far more harmful. But they threw this virus out there and skewed numbers to scare people. Throw in a few governors who deliberately placed the vulnerable elderly who had Covid in nursing homes resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands and you can get real panic to set in. They develop a drug they call a vaccine and then mandate it and boosters that will never end all to make money and control people. I know people who would walk into Nazi style concentration camps and get in the showers if government told them it would protect them from Covid. That is sad and pathetic. You have a 98% chance of surviving. If you are high risk then protect yourself. I will live my life and if I get it I get it. If it kills me then it is a glorious day to die. I will not live in fear. Government thinks it knows best but it does not. You get to accept the risks in your life They do not get to accept them for you. Singapore has reached the 80% vaccine threshold. Covid cases are spiking there and the government is getting ready to impose the same draconian measures that did not help the first time. In New Zealand over the past two weeks more people died from the Covid vaccine than from Covid. Looks like things are not going as planned so the plan is to do more of what did not work in the first place. Maybe we should just give Ivermectin prophylactically and be done with it.
6. In the Biden has dementia file, Joe Biden was addressing the UK and Australia during an announcement of a joint deal in defense tech sharing. Joe Biden has already reached a deal with the Taliban regarding sharing our defense tech so much so he just gave them billions of dollars worth of high tech military equipment. Donald Trump negotiated peace agreements in the Middle East. Joe Biden arms Middle East terrorists. I digress. Biden mentioned Prime Minister Boris Johnson by name but when he referred to the Australian PM he could not remember his name so he called him “that fellow down under.” Joe has cue cards with pictures to know what reporters to call on. You mean to tell me his staff could not provide him with something to remind him who he was speaking to? Biden was supposed to be the adult in the room. The guy with foreign policy experience. The guy who would end corona and get things done. He forgets the names of leaders of other nations, has given Afghanistan back to the Taliban AND ARMED THEM, left Americans behind and wandered around lost at events. This yutz did not get anywhere near 80 million votes. Democrats cheated and we ended up with this moron. Remember that when some Taliban inspired terrorist attacks our people. It will be the fault of Biden and the people who cheated him into office.
7. Some guy named Jimmy Kimmel (not sure who he is or why he matters) mocked the people of Florida who have died of Covid. I do not know if this Kimmel fellow is based in California or New York but both of them have more total deaths than Florida (deaths attributed to Covid). I know this fellow was talking about since the beginning of the summer but I do not have the numbers for that time period. I can only say these are the totals; CA-67,672, TX-61,309, NY-55,330 and FL-49,257. So the two states with the most restrictive policies (restrictive to the regular folks, not the elite like Gavin in CA) have more deaths. And I bet a number of the older people who died in Florida are snowbirds from New York. They probably fled the city to keep their governor from putting them in nursing homes with sick people to kill them off. This Kimmel fellow seems to be one of those liberals asshats who think they can tell you how to live. I read somewhere this is the same Kimmel who wants everyone who does not get vaccinated to die. I wonder how he would feel if say, he had an infant child with a heart defect and people said his kid should die? I would say a prayer for a child in that case. Kimmel probably worships Satan.
8. And finally in the news, comedian Norm Macdonald died this week after a battle with Leukemia. Macdonald was a past regular on Saturday Night Live and a genuinely funny guy. He will be missed by many. “And that’s the way it is” Norm Macdonald, dead at 61. RIP Norm.

Early Round Up Star Date 2021.245
Sep 2, 2021 Opinion, Political
1. The indoctrination of our children continues as activist teachers impose their views on their students in order to retrain their minds. First a teacher hid the American Flag and then told her students it must be somewhere but until she “finds” it they should pledge to the other flag in the room. That flag was the rainbow flag of the lesbian teacher. She said the American Flag bothered her. I imagine if someone said the gay pride flag bothered them she would scream homophobia. In any event, she has been removed from the classroom pending an investigation. Another teacher is a member of Antifa and he has an Antifa flag in his classroom. Project Veritas recorded him saying he has 180 days to turn the kids into revolutionaries. He said that he uses fear to intimidate your kids into submission. The funny thing about Antifa is that it is full of the very fascists they allege to be against. I must admit I love when they clash with a conservative group and get the snot beat out of them.
2. Not a real doctor Jill Biden said if we listen to the science we can keep the schools open. I imagine Jill does not understand that the federal government has no say in whether or not schools in states stay open. Schools are under the control of the state government and if a state wants schools open then they can be open. Jill wants everyone in school to wear masks despite the science that tells us children are the least affected by Covid and that masks cause harm to the children’s development. You would think a former school teacher would know that. She did say that
“Parents, I want you to know that your child, your school and your family are at the heart of all that my husband, Joe, is doing to help our country defeat and ultimately recover from this pandemic”
I bet that your kids are at the heart of what he is doing like sniffing their hair and touching them inappropriately. If it were anything else he would recognize the science regarding children and Covid.
3. Tucker Carlson went after Joe Biden and his push for gun control. Carlson pointed out that Biden armed a terrorist organization with hundreds of thousands of rifles, handguns and machine guns. Wrap your head around that. The same guy (and his party) who have been working to disarm you for decades had no issue with giving firearms to people who have a record of murdering anyone who does not agree with them and/or who does not follow their way of life. Americans have a Constitutionally protected right to KEEP (own, possess) and BEAR (carry) arms and we should be allowed to own the same arms we paid taxes for the Taliban to own. Biden and his band of terrorist enablers will spend more time trying to disarm the American citizens than they ever will the Taliban. But remember government, the Taliban numbers fewer than 100 thousand. We are nearly 200 million strong. The armed population of the US constitutes the largest fighting force in the entire world. Be careful when you say you will take our firearms because you will have to actually take them and that will not be easy. There will be a rifle behind every blade of grass…
4. Joe Biden, the alleged Catholic, is upset that Texas enacted a law banning abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected. Biden immediately claimed that the law violates the Constitution. The word abortion is not in the Constitution and the federal government has no say over it BUT it did so anyway in a twisted ruling by the SCOTUS in Roe v. Wade. The issue was a 10th Amendment issue and should have been left at the state level (as an aside, this is true of marriage as well – all gay or straight). The right to keep and bear arms is written in the Constitution. Keep in mind that the Constitution does not grant us rights or give us rights, it protects rights we have as a result of our existence. All rights predate the Constitution and therefore the US government cannot take them away. Since the Second Amendment states that the right shall NOT BE INFRINGED, then any law or restriction on that right is null and void. Yet Biden at the federal level and state legislatures pass and impose gun control laws each and every day. We are told that they are allowed to enact “common sense” gun laws. When a state has some onerous gun laws the SCOTUS rarely takes the case and the state claims it has a right to regulate the ownership of guns. So tell me, if the government can regulate the right to keep and bear arms and that is not a violation of the Constitution (according to liberals like Biden) how is it unconstitutional for Texas, or any other state, to have “common sense” abortion laws? Texas basically said, OK the SCOTUS has created this right our of thin air and any attempt to ban it completely is deemed as an assault to a right that is not actually in the Constitution BUT we can regulate that alleged right. Joe Biden denounced the Texas law almost immediately after it was signed by the governor. He waited nearly all day long to talk to America about the 13 US Service Members he allowed to be murdered in Afghanistan. Funny how liberals are OK with violating your rights and rationalizing their actions but when a “right” they like (they make up a lot of rights too, like the right to housing, to food, to free college etc) they scream about the Constitution that they routinely ignore. More states need to act like Texas and do what they want while ignoring the federal government.
5. Social Security is a scam that has been in existence since FDR imposed it upon us. It is not now what it was intended to be and has morphed into many things including disability insurance. It was supposed to be a way for workers to put away money for retirement BUT the government actually taxed those working to pay for those who were retired. The scheme worked well when there were 16 or so workers for every retiree but now there are about 3 workers for every retiree. You couple this with the baby boomers all retiring and there is not going to be enough money to pay for the program. The real reason though, that Social Security is running out of money is because in the 1960s under LBJ the government decided to take all the money collected each month for Social Security and put it in the general fund and issue a government bond (an IOU) for the money. Then the money was spent on other things politicians felt like wasting it on. Now the fund cannot pay retirees with what is collected each month and needs to cash in the IOUs. But the government is 30 TRILLION dollars in debt so it can’t pay the IOUs. It has to borrow money to make ends meet. The government has been trying for years to make SS whole by increasing the percentage of income taxed, by raising the amount of income it is collected on (but not the amount higher earners get when they retire) and the government has floated ideas like means testing. This means if you make too much money in retirement (if you were responsible and saved) then you will not be eligible to get SS. There are also ideas about taxing the rich (this eventually hits everyone) to make SS whole again. They took what YOU paid in. They spent it and left an IOU and then they want to tax YOU more to pay off the IOU. What a great racket. SS should not be a plan at all and should be abolished (continue to pay out to those who are drawing it and those over a certain age who will retire and draw it until they die off) but if we will not do the right thing and get rid of it (can’t do that, politicians like to use it as a club to scare old people into voting for them) then the money collected should go into an account that belongs solely to the person who paid in and cannot be touched by government. Federal workers have a plan called the Thrift Savings Plan. They elect to put a certain amount of money each pay into it and it grows over the years and they have a good retirement. If we forcefully take the money of workers for SS why not invest it in the TSP? Allow all workers to elect which funds their money goes in to and they control it. When they retire they will have a larger return on their money and they will not get screwed out of the money by the government (and can pass it to their heirs). I imagine the federal government will never allow this to happen because many workers will have greater wealth in retirement and they will not have to worry about bills. Government won’t be able to scare them for votes. But if I were in charge this is what I would do. For disability I would impose a small tax on imports to fund that. Make others pay the freight, so to speak.

Ann Coulter Has Jumped The Shark
Sep 1, 2021 Military, Political, Terrorism, Tyranny
I will admit that I used to read Coulter weekly and I have read a few of her books which were quite entertaining. But she has been all over the place since not long after Trump was elected because he allegedly did not do things fast enough for her.
Now she has gone off the deep end:
Ann Coulter is the favorite bashing toy for the left and a darling of the right as she uses her acerbic wit and sense of humor to put on full display how deranged the liberals really are. Unfortunately, Ann has jumped the shark by going all in on Joe Biden getting us out of Afghanistan. She claims that Scranton Joe had the balls to do it when Trump did not.
This is not surprising since Ann started out in favor of Trump but soured on him because he did not accomplish things he said he would or did not do them as quickly as Queen Ann would have liked.
The funny thing is Ann’s big deal, which often seemed like HER ONLY deal, was illegal immigration. She wanted the border closed. Trump closed the border (and began building the wall), he made people seeking asylum wait in Mexico and he drastically reduced the number of illegal people and drugs pouring into this country. One would think she would be happy he took care of her chief concern but she would rather dwell on things that were, in some cases, out of his control and in other cases, in progress.
Trump spent nearly four years fighting false accusations by liberals and their RINO friends. It is a miracle that he was able to accomplish anything but he did. Our economy was the best it has been in a very long time and unemployment, particularly among minorities, was at an all time low. But Ann dwells on Afghanistan.
Yes Ann, he had an agreement in place to leave Afghanistan. It was designed to be orderly, get the non-combatants out, remove our equipment, retrograde our troops and blow up anything of value to keep it out of enemy hands. If the election had not been stolen he would have put that in place and we would have had an orderly withdrawal. Instead, we had chaos with thirteen service members killed and lots and lots of Afghanis, who are not SIV applicants, in our nation. You see, Trump set milestones for the Taliban so they would not do what Biden allowed them to do. Trump told them if they reneged he would kill them. Biden let them abuse him and make our nation look weak.
In all of this, the stuff you applaud Ann, there are untold numbers of Americans left behind. People who actually helped us, were left behind. Pallets of cash were there for the Taliban to take and they got billions of dollars of military equipment including helicopters, vehicles, uniforms, communications equipment, night vision gear and weapons. I guess it does not occur to people who sit back smoking Marlboro Lights all day long while thinking of witty stuff for the next book that a lot of people are in danger and many of them will be murdered. I guess since it is not you or your loved ones it is OK, eh Ann?
And what about the psychological damage to the men and women who fought there and who lost loved ones there? This will have far reaching effects on our warfighters. Those of you who sit in your ivory towers and watch from afar will never understand.
Joe Biden retreated in a cowardly fashion and gave our enemy the very things they will use to attack us again in the future. And when they do you better not open your mouth because right now, at this moment, you are applauding it.
In my world we do not applaud cowardice. Maybe that is something you can celebrate Ann but when you do don’t dance too heavily on the graves of those who died because of it. They deserve better from you and they certainly deserve better from their Commander in Chief.
