Independence day

Yeah, everyone calls it the “Fourth of July>

And they forget it is really “Independence Day”…the day we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence….the birth of our nation…..the day the colonists stuck their finger into the eye of the King and told him he was no longer their Sovereign …

(Just as an aside, We really should celebrate on the Second, not the Fourth….but that is the day the document is dated….even if it was SIGNED on the Second. ….)




Remember WHAT we celebrate on the “Fourth of July”....

Double standards

Donald Trump is keeping migrants in “Concentration Camps” in terrible conditions and it is causing them to die in unprecedented numbers….

Except…you know….not so much.

DHS is having to deal with nearly THREE times as many people….and the death rate is less than HALF of Barry Obama’s. And there was early the exact same amount of overcrowding during Barry’s reign……But no one cared to notice or do a story about it.

But oddly, Trump is the Nazi who treats people badly…..

But leftists don’t care about those pesky facts….”Because Trump“, after all…

Whatcha gonna cut?

So the Liberals are all up in arms about overcrowding at the border detention centers…especially the one in McCallan Texas.

I agree. Something Should Be Done.

But where are we gonna find the funding? I mean, we couldn’t come up with any money for a border wall to prevent these people from ILLEGALLY entering, so when they are caught, we have to hold them for processing….

We obviously need more (and larger) facilities to hold these folks while they are set up for release (where over 80% won’t show up for processing anyway, but that is another topic for another day…..)

So what are you Liberals who are protesting willing to cut to pay for the new facilities???
Welfare? AFDC? SNAP (Food Stamps)?  Midnight library book readings by Transsexuals? “Green boondoggles Initiatives? Other Socialist Programs?

Someone has to pay for these facilities that y’all are demanding…..How are ya gonna pay for it? 

But they all have new cell phones:

nearly one in three US “adults” have no emergency savings….(28%)


One in four have a “rainy day fund” but not enough to cover 3 months of expenses

While there may be some folks for whom saving is impossible, I gotta say that I think that this is simply choices people make….newer cars, newer shoes, the latest IFone, eating out instead of cooking at home, $6 coffees….

Most people could choose to live differently and save $50 per week. $2500 per year. it isn’t easy, and it takes discipline, but it can be done.

Choices. Live large until you can’t,,,,.Or choose wisely.

I think it’s a cultural thing too.

Rainbow day

Or whatever you want to call the day that the “Pride” parades take place across the country.

This is, apparently, the 50th anniversary of something, which is a big deal if one is a gay man, I understand.

The claim that this is about “acceptance”….but they have always been accepted, both men and women, as long as they behaved in a decent manner, a manner that was the same as other, straight couples. Behave, don’t have sex out in the open, etc.

I remember, as a child, being introduced to “Mr. Bruce” and “His good friend Mr Jacob”. I didn’t understand, as a child, what the connection was. Nor did anyone I knew care that much. It was just how it was…..and that most of 50 years ago…. This was true in the Midwest, and especially in the south.

And lest you think that that was an anomaly, here is a newspaper article (From 1905!) about a very strong willed, very well loved and respected woman…..and “her lifelong companion” living together….”spinsters”….living just outside of Chicago…..People knew…and they just didn’t give a shit one way or the other.
No one cared about who she loved.

These two are but a few examples of how gay people lived among the straight people. By behaving decently….’Twas only the folks who DIDN’T behave decently in “Public” that were harassed and hounded by societies guardians.

I suppose every group has to have something to celebrate.
So happy “Rainbow Pride” day, folks.

(I personally don’t care who a person loves (or how) but that’s just me(as long as both are of legal age to make the choice)….But I don’t care to see it out in the streets)

Odd

The Democrats can’t find a Billion dollars for the “Wall”….

But they CAN find a TRILLION dollars for “Infrastructure.

I am all for rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure.

So what gets cut? SNAP? Welfare? AFDC? What Social Program are they gonna cut to pay for all that infrastructure?  I mean, seeing as how they couldn’t find the money for a border wall, we must be too broke….so where are they gonna get a thousand times that for their Graft “infrastructure” programs?

Gotta love folks who deny reality

I cannot help but laugh in disbelief.

In another forum, there is an argument about crime RATES…

It is claimed that illegal immigrant hispanic communities are (get this) MORE law abiding than the average “american” community. Especially “white” communities. 

Further, that these folks make communities safer and actually increase property values. 
This is the direct opposite of what I have observed myself, and moreso, is the opposite of what cops observe. But they spout study after study which claims the above. 
Funny, the Leftists seem to believe that if they repeat the lie often enough, it will become reality. 
I don’t think that the average LEGAL immigrant is any more or less law abiding than the average “American”. I do see that communities with a large percentage of illegal immigrants DO have greater crime and lower property values as well as more trash and such.
But perhaps both I and the police with whom I talk have a limited sample of observation. Perhaps we are wrong….
What are YOUR observations?
