Friday - mid afternoon

So, the election has occurred and republicans got  their @$$es kicked.  Quite literally.  One of the worst repudiations of the party I have seen in quite a long time. But why? Most are attributing it to the Iran war.  Look people, I don't know how old you are - well a few of you I do - but I've been around long enough to have heard Iran wanting to annihilate both us, the US and Israel for many, many decades now.  I remember Iranian students coming to this country and going out onto the streets chanting Death To America! ...

...but they chose the wrong time and place. That was back when Patriots had balls and they didn't take kindly to the anti-American shit and beat the crap out of those people. They didn't chant that shit for long as memory serves.  

But here we are electing people who are the antithesis to what America was founded on by the patriots who fought and won our freedom so long ago.  These socialists do not want your freedom.  They do not want a Constitution. They are elitists and they are power hungry.  What amazes me is the history of both socialism and communism - extensive, exhaustive history you can google or go to libraries and check out books to read up about. You can pull up old news footage.  There is a plethora of information about it's history and the inevitable outcomes.  

There are NO good outcomes.  NONE of it.  Death and starvation.  People - everyone excepting the elitists and possibly the people directly serving them - living in poverty.  Stalin is a great example.  Cuba/Castro. Venezuela more modern versions of it.  The Russian empire.  China.   And yet here we are with a multitude of the modern version of Americans wanting this shit.  Propaganda abounds. This "new" version of it will work! Everything will be wonderful! Eutopia! 

BULLSHIT. Listen to people who have migrated here (legally of course) coming out of such conditions.  They see America turning towards and it and giving stern warnings of the future to come if we embrace this ideology and understand the horrors it will eventually bring. Once enough of these people are in power, we are screwed. 

Or are we....the problem the Germans had was that people had firearms. Well, the people that they thought would and probably have offered substantial resistance if they had access to them when Hitler started his chaos with the Jews and WWII.  Now, that is a different political ideology but the substance is the same: the people were armed.  

You wait and watch.  The left have been trying to disarm us for a long time now, but once enough of these people get into positions of power, they will have the ability to make laws to do so. Or try anyway.  They will stack the Supreme Court with "justices" who care nothing about what that "piece of paper" says.  Couple that with religious zealots who are also getting into positions of authority and power.  I am not going to go into those rabbit trails for it is insanity to think what might happen. Hopefully and prayerfully not, but God's will be done. Evil is here but it's NOT here to stay!  God is still on the Throne! He is the CREATOR GOD and that is the only thing I need for my inner peace. Whatever happens around us? What He says will happen, will happen!

But you're not going to have country folks just give up the ghost and go along with this.  There will need to be another civil war at some point, it will happen at the very least when they come for the guns.  I mean, when gun control gets to the point they can revoke citizen' right to bear and carry firearms.  This will be a law but can they enforce it? Can they go into people's homes and just take them? At first, probably. Then people will say screw this, they aren't doing this to us and it's going to be an all at war.  But against who?  Mealy mouthed people who are big behind computer monitors and Apple/Samsung screens?  The nation's military, who is highly likely more on the conservative republican and God fearing side than not?  Sheriffs, many of whom are also   God-fearing people?  

It isn't going to be pretty what we are going to watch happening in LA and New York.  These are openly Socialist mayors.  Abbot was voted out and a leftie voted in for Texas governor. I don't see this particularly surprising.  You have Dallas/Ft Worth, Austin, Houston which is I believe the 3rd largest city in the nation, San Antonio and I believe El Paso is also a staunch leftist post.  You couple that with all the Californians moving over here and taking residence all over the place, not just the big cities. I know this for a fact for I have discussed this with local realtors. I don't live in a big city and the nearest one is Dallas, some 160 miles away.  

I fear that if they can get away with it, democrats will attempt to initiate state income tax. Dems love taxation.  This is how it works and this is the blueprint to a centralized, highly powerful federal government that can invoke it's powers over the people.  It will be interesting, actually, to see how all of this is going to play out.  But look at Mandami, no rich person is beyond his grasp of financial control. HE wants to tax the hell out of them and they are fleeing the entire state.  

I'm sort of all over the place here, my thoughts are everywhere as I've studied and debated these subjects for many years now.   These people still want to impeach Trump yet again! Trump doesn't give a damn! lol!  They don't have near enough lefties in Congress to remove him, what a waste of time.  Trump says he has the ability to veto their nonsense and I hope he will.  He'll probably cave at times to give the elusion of a stable government and economy. Trump is no saint, I voted for him yes, but he's a billionaire and many rich people are as corrupt as it can get.  He loves money, gold and glitter.  But there was no way I was voting for a Hillary, Biden or Harris, lmao.  

"The lessor of 2 evils".  

Oh let me backtrack here. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH WHAT TRUMP AND THIS NATION'S MILITARY HAS DONE IN IRAN AND I WOULD PREFER THEY FINISH THE DAMN JOB.  If you don't like my views on it? I ... DON'T....CARE. A nuclear Iran would be terrifying to the entire world!  These people exalt their own deaths as some sort of promotion to eternal glories. I'm not going to bother going into the history of the Iranian government, IRGC, the proxies and all the rest of it, waste of my time and mental energies.  They will kill us if they can and you give them the ability to do that, they are going to try it.

Enough.  I could go on for hours writing my thoughts about this but I don't have that much time and whose mind is it going to change? No one's.  Social media is the demise of this civilization.  Facebook groups especially. People just speak out their trash and post memes full of completely false information.  They live off of memes! It's unbelievable. If you bother to take the time to not only tell them the facts but list citations (proof) that they are wrong? THEY DON'T CARE!  There are no consequences to disseminating lies - well take that back, Facebook was banning people for speaking the truth according to the right and this has been verified in congressional hearings that included the redhead testifying.  They will live in their denial to their last breath.  I gave up on that a few years ago. Debating with the left is a total waste of time. They certainly are NOT going to change my mind and I understand they are unwavering as well.  This is the roots of civil war, I'm telling ya, it's going to happen if this trajectory of opposing thoughts and the inability to discuss them continues on.  

The oldest has been sick so day 2, but he seems to be doing much better now. The youngest - has been in trouble. Nothing new there.  

The old man is gone, I think I wrote about that last time but the peace that now prevails over the park?  I went on the walking trails today, I haven't done that in quite a while. His cigarette butts all over the place. Even thrown into piles of pine needles. Thank God he didn't burn down my forest. Trash - coffee cups, I"m not talking in the RV park portion, I'm referring to the trails I had made 3 years ago, aluminum cans, it's ALL this dude.  Good riddance.

The weekend is here, mom is off doing something with people near Dallas, I have the house and all that entails.  I enjoyed the walking trails regardless of this guy's absolute bs.  Unbelievable.  I'll get the kids out there helping pick it all up and get that man's footprint of stupidity off of my land.  I have to work tomorrow, probably going to get up earlier than normal.  Just want to get the day over with and not have kids having to be with people too terribly late in the day in case they have plans, which they probably do.  

Oh, and yes I'm going to start walking again.  I was doing bicycling but I enjoy the beauty of the forest on my land.  20 minutes directly after returning from a run will be great. It's not hot out, will it kinda gets warm still but nothing horrible.

I dunno what else, the current political landscape has me a bit preoccupied.  Nothing else going on today, no where we have to go and just have to make dinner.
