October 5, 2024

Surprise! I'm here! A friend reminded me of something I have planned to say on this blog next month so decided to leave it up until then.

So. How ya'll doin'? Hoping this finds everyone high and dry. Or, just dry.

How 'bout that FEMA response to the hurricane victims? What was that Mayorkas said just three months ago? Maybe my ears are bad but I thought he assured us that they were "tremendously prepared"?

Here's the YouTube link. I would embed the video but when I do, Google removes them. I wonder why? Question: When in the long history of mankind has a good person censored free speech? I can only think of bad ones. But more on that in a bit. Here's Mayorkas. In his own words:

Alejandro Mayorkas says were tremendously prepared

But now he says they don't have enough money for the victims of this hurricane, and with several others brewin'. Better stock up on supplies, 'cause they ain't gonna be helping anyone. Seems the money for America's disasters went to a (wo)man made disaster--the influx of millions of illegals. Some of them didn't even have to cross the border--in order to keep illegal border crossing numbers down, they've been flying them in from other countries, especially Haiti. Even Tammy Bruce (former Democrat) saw it first hand as she landed at an airport in the middle of the night.

From the videos and interviews that I'm seeing, many are missing. Many lost their homes. Many have no food, water, electricity. Toxic mud coats many places. Many volunteer organizations were on the ground within a day, including my favorite heroes, the United Cajun Navy.

While we are seeing the devastation, Biden seems clueless over "which storm." And he also seems to think that people have everything they need and are happy...what the actual fuck?

Biden's own words here:

Because of Biden's words, too many people out there think that everything's okay. The victims are happy (those who are still alive...) and have everything they need. So what do they do? They mock the videos of victims who are able to get their story out there. They call people like former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard, and others, a "grifter" for trying to raise funds to help the victims. Tulsi is amazing, here's one of her tweets about her efforts: Tulsi Gabbard

More later. Trump and Elon Musk about to take the stage in Butler Pennsylvania...

I've always been a live and let live kinda person. If someone wants to be a Democrat or a Republican or a Wiccan or a Christian, so be it. If a person is nice, I'm nice in return. If they aren't, I move on. I've never cut someone out of my life for their political predilection but I think I've gotten to that point.

A few family members cut me out of their life because I'm not a Democrat and don't toe the party line. On either side, actually. I think for myself. So be it. No big loss.

But I think I've changed my mind. My mind is the only one that I can change. I see the hate spewed at Conservatives constantly, from the media to the Democrats and society in general. Life is too short for that. Ten years ago at this time, Charlie was recovering from surgery for brain cancer and preparing to undergo radiation therapy for lung cancer. Life is too short for this shit. At 67, I just am over it.

I've come to the conclusion that Dem isn't short for Democrats but for demons. They support the killing of babies, the harassment of people who don't go along with their groupthink, they support Conservatives being killed, and so on. It's finally become too much hate.

So. If there's anything you want to copy from this blog do it now, 'cause it's gonna be deleted within a week. I'm over the hate, the lies, all of it.

Been too busy to post for a few but this is a good'un. Country over party. Unless you're a cult member...

So, after watching some of the DNC today I just kept thinking "How can anyone be proud of these people? How can anyone think their plans are sane?"

Bring in millions of people from many countries, and most of them have no permanent home. They are being given $5000 in debit cards, $15,000 in food cards, free housing for 2 years, all medical is free...and that's just for starters. They will give them Medicare and Social Security. If Social Security is so precious to Dems, why are they okay with Kamala's plan???

It's shameful. That's the only word for it, it's shameful all the way around. Kamala never got voted into anything--I thought democracy was so important to Dems? I thought coups were bad things to Dems? What do you call what they did to Biden? Maureen Dowd got it right. I'm not big fan of hers and she has raised the ire of many Dems who once thought she was so great.

If you don't have a subscription to The New York Times, go to this link (although I thought The NYT was the bible for Dems...)

The Dems Are Delighted. But a Coup Is Still a Coup, by Maureen Down

Absolutely shameful. Every Democrat should be ashamed, because the ruin that would come at the hand of Kamala is on them. And I hope they love what will happen, because they won't be exempt.

Now go do the right thing.

PS: Scuttlebutt is that Biden plans to abdicate just before midnight tonight. We shall see. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

Oh...

Those are for starters. Kinda shocked lamestream media is actually somewhat factual...

Are price controls a good thing? Some of us remember the 1970s. And some of us remember history (Russia, anyone? Venezuela?). And some of us (me!) are married to economics majors. From a government website, opens in PDF.

The Economics of Price Controls Link HERE

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

"Inflation has grown rapidly over the last year and reached a 41-year high of 9.1 percent in June 2022. In response, some policymakers have proposed implementing price controls (in particular, price ceilings) to reduce the cost of inflation for consumers. Instead of sustainably lowering prices, price ceilings cause shortages, reduce product quality, and can make longer-term inflation worse."

KEY POINTS

• A price ceiling creates a government-mandated maximum price that sellers can charge their customers.

• Price controls can lower prices for some consumers but also cause shortages which lead to arbitrary rationing and, over time, reduce product innovation and quality.

• Price controls during the 1970s caused shortages, especially of oil and gasoline. Rapid inflation followed the repeal of price controls.

• Price controls on prescription drugs—such as those imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022—stunt pharmaceutical innovation, imposing large, long-run costs on Americans that outweigh the short-run benefits of lower prices."

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it--is this what you want? It's what Kamala wants. She tries to hide it under the guise of "price gouging" which obviously shows she has no idea what price gouging is.

She doesn't understand a lot of things, she just thinks they sound good and the maroons who are going to vote for her are too stupid to know, too. And too stupid to look it up. She doesn't even know the definition of inflation...

Now she wants to give first time home buyers $25,000. Vote buying. But who will pay for that? She's already said our taxes will go up. And all that will do is raise house prices by $25,000! We have to take in millions of illegal immigrants, and she's going to fix prices?! Hello, rationing! Hello black markets! Better learn to grow yer own.

Now go do the right thing.
