When I was a little boy, at dinner time, my Mom always told me I had to eat everything on my plate “Because little kids are starving in Africa….so I ate everything.

But as I got older, I started to think…..How did eating this plate of food in any way help those “Starving Kids in Africa”?

Of course, asking that question of my parents was not happy making for me. But they still never answered it….

Thing is, despite all the aid over 50+ years, both US taxpayer aid, UN extorted dollars as aid, or private aid, there is still starvation in those same countries in Africa…..

WIth or without clean plates on US dinner tables.

This time, Juneau, Alaska.

seal level is DROPPING. Should be 4 feet lower a hundred years from now. So much for the dreaded “Sea Level Rise” due to melting ice at the poles.

They stood for something:  pride, country, family, honor, decency and the USA.

Now, not so much.

Let’s look back at their advertising from years past and see what they once were: (It’s a short 5 minutes, but worth it)

Those ads sold a lot of beer because they talked about values that the average American wants to stand for,,,

Not some caricature of a man wanting to be a woman.

We’ve seen it in forest fires in AZ and California. Now Maui as well….

Leave Early. Especially if you have children or pets…..moreso if you want to save horses or the like.

Beat the rush, GTFO as soon as the threat becomes real. Don’t get trapped in a traffic jam, don’t be part of the refugee flood.

Lots of people waited too long. 30 + people are known to have died in the fire, likely more in the traffic jam of burned cars Others barely escaped the traffic jam that ended up with them losing their cars and contents as well as their homes.

Beat the rush, panic early.

Pack up early and be ready. Don’t hesitate to leave.

At a grocery store:

Kid gets pushed aside by a Punk. Punk says “Watch it kid”

Kid’s dad takes offence at this.

Punk says “You think I’m  ‘sposed to be afraid of you?” (while getting close to Dad in a most threatening manner) “You wanna go?”

Dad (unfazed) says “Nope, but if you don’t apologize to my son, it’s gonna be bad.”

Punk says “You gonna call the cops? You think I afraid of goin’ to jail, man?”

Dad says, “Nope, you’re afraid for what they are gonna take ME to jail for”. (While getting really far into the punk’s personal space)

Pregnant pause.

Punk swallows…backs up. Looks at the kid. Says “Sorry” ….nods to Dad, and walks, (carefully) away. Didn’t run, but didn’t take his time, either.

‘Twas awesome to witness.

78 years ago.

The second of the Atomic bombs used in anger, it was, essentially, the Trinity device all over again, only this time mot an experiment, but used in anger.

It’s use effectively ended the Japanese war making energy. No all wanted to surrender, but enough did want it that it happened….and thus the war ended.

The city (and people) of Kokura was lucky that day….Smoke and weather precluded a good bombing run, so the target was moved to the secondary choice…..Nagasaki.

Luck plays an important part of survival sometimes.

That pointing out the race of the rioters in blue cities like Chicago and New York is Racist. Because I am white and therefore cannot comment on the behaviors of other races.

Fuck you.

I can comment whatever I want. (see, it’s my blog, I pay for the website, I am the editor.)..If pointing out that animal-like behavior of some groups of inner city people makes you uncomfortable, too bad. If pointing out that other racial groups don’t act like animals in similar situations makes you angry, then that too is just too fuckin’ bad.

There is a reason that Africa is like it is. It isn’t anyone else’s fault but the Africans. Deal with that.
