Muslims call it “Sharia Law” and for them, it supersedes America’s Constitutional Law. They have no intention of ever becoming citizens of America, but in fact, expect to continue their conquest until we submit to their Sharia Law. It’s creeping across America with every Muslim immigrant added.
Last week, I listened to NPR’s Terry Gross interview Scott Higham, the author of American Cartel, the opioid death crisis overwhelming America in 2021 with 107,000 overdose deaths. Please note that authorities expect another 100,000 deaths in 2022.
High thinking creates high vibrations in your mind and body. Such “thinking” loads the body with “oxytocin” that creates love bonding, higher purpose and more energy. While thinking “love” thoughts, the body floods with “serotonin” that turns every consideration to the positive side of living.
When confronting or dealing with small mindedness or a toxic environment, whether at the office or at home, the key remains openness, hearing all sides and an appreciation of all perspectives. Once you move issues into the open, many people step to the positive side of the equation. In the end, you vanquish the “devil’s radio” while you open lines of communication for better understanding...
So, there you have it—a bit of my personal history. During my lifespan, I’ve done my best to be a good man, to be an honest man, to be a good citizen, husband and friend. I own my mistakes and I apologize for my mistakes. Thank you for your kindness. God bless and keep you and yours, Frosty Wooldridge, Golden, CO
When you see that the President of the United States must use a cue card to tell him where to sit, stand, speak and shake hands—you might deduce that this country lacks a competent leader. When you see him reading a teleprompter and repeating at the end of a quote, and he reads it, “…end of quote”, you might figure out that he doesn’t know what he’s doing or what he’s saying.
Most Americans go about their daily lives by eating breakfast, going to work for eight to 10 hours per day, and driving home to dinner with their families. Most Americans don’t really know what’s going on in Washington DC, because the mainstream media hides pertinent information that affects us now, and into the future.
With my last column titled, “America’s Ethicality, Morality and Decency Quotient Spiraling Into The Toilet” July 14, 2022, your responses dropped in like paratroopers landing in France during WWII. Many of you expressed your fury as to what’s happening to our country. Others felt saddened.
It means we’re losing the basic tenants of bringing up our children to be responsible, honest and contributing adults in America. It means that we all pay for that $52 billion in stolen goods annually. It means that anyone of us can get killed by felons let back onto the streets.
We see our baby boomers as the fattest, most obese generation ever on the face of the planet. We’re seeing their kids following in their footsteps. We’ve got millions upon millions of kids tattooing their bodies into total “ink disfigurement.” And, countless millions of kids addicted to cell phones, so much so, they can’t operate without those phones.
This country faces some really nasty events in the near future. We’ve got useless politicians who won’t prosecute criminals, an absolutely senile president who lacks any understanding of what he is doing, and his “handlers” are as incompetent as he is, and, to tell you the truth from my position…nothing is going to change for the better.
If you look at cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago…you’re watching dying cities. It’s amazing to me that we saw Detroit, Michigan “die” in the 80’s and 90’s from lawless tribalism by minorities, and now, we’re seeing it repeat in our other big cities.
When the woman who wrote me for solutions to the homeless problem in Los Angeles, she described her feelings of “homeless fatigue.” Yes, we must possess compassion for hundreds of thousands of Americans who either became homeless by their own poor choices, or by the economy and loss of jobs, and/or drug and mental problems.
For the record, America suffers from a documented 540,000 homeless people. They languish in the streets of our big cities, in the woods, in U-Haul storage lockers, in tents, in abandoned trailers, in vacant warehouses and in just about every state in the Union. They are white, black, brown, veterans, men, women and children. They are alcoholics, drug addicts and run-away teens from abusive households.
Without a doubt, the United States stands eyeball deep in trouble in 2022. It’s not only the gas prices, food prices and tremendous political divide—it’s also about the loss of the rule of law, common decency of citizens toward one another in the big cities, and most importantly, a loss of loyalty to our country.
In speaking with a retired cop friend, he says that places like LA, Chicago, New York, Miami are what cops call self-cleaning ovens. As EBT cards stop, food stops, money system fails, like Rats in BF Skinner’s experiment, they will self-clean. I see it beginning with massive uptick in violence in Miami. The key is to be a couple tanks of gas away from any of those places.
To each of you who write me responses. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sandi and I are doing the best we can as to Alzheimer’s. We’re also doing the best we can to bring America back to its foundation, morality and ethics. It’s going to be a hard slog, yet we’re going to be here for at least another 10 to 15 years…so you will be hearing from us.
We’re paying $5.00 a gallon for gas all over the country in 2022 because of choices in 2021 to shut down the Keystone Pipeline that destroyed our energy independence. In California on the Big Sur, I paid $8.55 a gallon. I even took a picture of the gas pump. What form of stupidity would you call that when our leaders are strangling us at the pump?
Instead of spending $6 trillion on two—20-year wars in the middle east that accomplished nothing, shouldn’t we care of our country and our jobs, and our families? What about enacting stiff laws to prevent rampant crime, irresponsible gun sales to youth and solid jail consequences?
As to the racial equity push, United Airlines reported that it will have 50 percent “people of color” in the cockpit within two decades. They stated that too many airlines pilots are white. It begs the question: when did skin color qualify anyone to pilot a 747 jetliner?
Doyne created a Nepali board of directors and established an orphanage: Kopila Valley Children’s Project. She formed an NGO by using her last $5,000.00 to buy a boarding house. This mind you, at the tender age of 22 years old.
Ever since 1965, this national phenomenon has been working on changing the entire demographic of America from a successful European-dominated Republic to a country racked with violence, racial strife and ultimately, disintegration.
How absurd were 107,000 opioid overdose deaths last year in the USA? But then, how absurd is it that Biden invites all the drug cartels to invade our open borders with all their drugs. Biden is a one man drug cartel himself! And, your kids are paying a severe price. Absurd? It’s off the wall absurd.
What stands as our most absurd moment in American history? Answer: a purported 51 percent of Americans voted for a senile, old man who has accomplished nothing in his entire life in Congress other than give blow-hard speeches. And, now, he’s running America into the ground faster than a bullet train.
In April, I spent most of my time in Arizona. It’s hot, dry, suffering from severe drought, with spontaneous wildfires, and temperatures in the summer at 120 degrees. To walk outside equates to jumping from your air-conditioned house into a frying pan.
I want to make this very clear: I do not support abortion. It’s the taking of an innocent life in the womb. By any other name, it’s murder. As a matter of fact, we are the only animal on the planet that aborts its young. So, what I’m going to try to do in this column is mark the ironies and the pitfalls of humanity’s current problems in the 21st century.
In March, 221,000 illegally jumped our borders to be distributed throughout our entire country by Joe Biden. The same numbers will continue to flood into our country in April, and every month for the rest of this year. They will add up to 2,000,000 illegals within our country.
This is a very painful column for me to write. It’s painful because my wife Sandi, the love of my life, my dance partner, my camping partner, my funny partner, my bicycle partner, and movie partner—has contracted Alzheimer’s Disease. We’ve already cried buckets of tears, suffered from futility, depression and anger at what has happened to us.
First of all, Black America enjoys more advantages than any and all Africans or other people of color anywhere around the world. Blacks enjoy the highest standard of living, billionaires, housing, jobs, sports, entertainment dominance and SO many other areas. It’s a privilege to be Black in America.
And this from GOP congressional candidate Errol Webber: "Adolf Hitler had a Ministry of Truth…Joseph Stalin had a Ministry of Truth along with Mao Zedong. All of them were dictators. The Biden regime now has a Ministry of Truth." If you haven’t read George Orwell’s book 1984, please pick up a copy...
In Rand’s book Atlas Shrugged, she featured John Galt, a man who bucked the norm, a man who stood his ground, and a man who made a difference. In the 21st century, billionaire Elon Musk may be the new John Galt. It took a pair to buy up radically left-leaning Twitter for $44 billion.
Swedish professor Eva Vlaardingerbroek said, "I blame the liberal left-wing elites who have allowed all of this to happen because they know that they have allowed these people to come into our countries with vast numbers. And they knew that this was going to happen because this is all part of their plan to destroy our social fabric and to destroy our identity and our society."
Each day, Joe Biden and Congress import an average of 10,000 legal and illegal third world immigrants into our country. They can’t speak English. They lack any educational background. They carry corrosive cultural practices. They head toward the welfare and food stamp offices of each city where Biden flies them. They arrive from 190 different countries at your expense.
But the even greater mystery stems from the fact that our U.S. Congress remains in full complicity with Biden’s treasonous acts. Why not stop him? Let’s face it, Speaker Nancy Pelosi impeached Trump twice over a phone call and a whim about January 6th.
Bartender AOC screams "Green Energy" from her high perch in Washington DC. Like a third grader, she doesn't possess a clue about what she's screeching to all of us. At 79, Joe Biden ramps up his own call to push America for Green Energy, but In reality, he doesn't possess a clue, either.
We look in vain for a Ronald Reagan, a Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt. Instead, we find corrupt clowns like wizened Nancy Pelosi, Commissar Ocasio-Cortez (the Cuban pinup girl selling socialist snake oil) and our president – a cranky septuagenarian slipping noisily into senility.
If you’re not in tears or feel a shot of fear up your spine when you read the facts, you might be brain dead. Your children will inherit this demographic nightmare. My latest book describes their coming ordeal: America’s Overpopulation Predicament—Blindsiding Future Generations.
Not mentioned in the USA media: racism flourishes all over the world where different racial groups co-exist. Mexico supports entrenched racism. Japan manifests racism by its non-immigration stance and sense of superiority over most other races. Racism abounds in the Middle East. Same in South America!
If you have traveled to America’s southern border with Mexico—like I have six times in the past 20 years—you would be appalled at the sheer numbers of 25 million migrants who have jumped them illegally. You would be witness to endless thousands of tons of trash along that 1,952-mile border.
At the same time, in excess of 100,000 homeless Californians she represents, live with drugs, poverty, alcohol, and futility. She hasn’t, won’t and refuses to help them. They constitute the wretched masses that can eat dirt while she shows off her $20.00 pints of ice cream at her mansion.
But along with that, Biden invited billions of dollars in drugs that are being distributed all over America to your kids. Over 100,000 opioid deaths last year! Do you think one single Senator or House member has or will stop the flood of barbiturates, ecstasy, fentanyl, and heroin? Answer: NO! Who suffers? You and your kids.
How a DNA male swimmer can put on a girl’s one-piece bathing suit and compete with girls must be senseless, most misogynistic, and REALLY creepy, if not emotionally warped choice in this day in age.
Every day in America, men kill three women in domestic violence incidents. In Muslim lands, annually, men kill 20,000 of their of wives or daughters known as “honor killings” because the women said or did something that displeased the savages of that peaceful and delicate religion.
All I know stems from the fact that children, mothers and old people face death daily from an invasion of Ukraine. Additionally, those young conscripted Russian boys die like flies. Those young and old Ukrainian men die by the thousands. Over 2,000,000 refugees flee to surrounding countries. What’s to become of them? Who is right? Who is wrong? Is Putin a hero? Is he a monster?
While all of the above is quite true, the summation of the DOE leaves out the important fact that during the Trump administration, we were completely independent of foreign oil. And now we once again rely on the Arabs, Russia, Venezuela, Mexico and others, and import a huge percent of our energy needs.
Every veteran reading this column knows that there are no heroes in wars. If you lucked out, a bullet didn’t have your name on it. For every guy on the Vietnam Memorial Wall, a bullet, bomb, napalm or shrapnel carried that kid’s name on it. If that bullet missed you, you’ve enjoyed a long and hopefully, fulfilling life.
The miracle is, how did he do it with a straight face? How could he stand in front of all the members of Congress and a dwindling American audience of only 30 percent approval rating—and tell us what a wonderful job he’s done?
Hitler ran over Poland the same way Putin invaded Ukraine. The Mein Kampf madman that caused millions to die…and now, in the 21st century, another madman causing countless thousands, maybe millions to die! We stand in the 21st Century for heaven sakes. Why wage war?
The lawlessness rises right up the Joe Biden White House. He invited 2,000,000 lawbreakers into our country in 2021. He’s still in violation of his oath of office in 2022 as he continues to break our laws. If the President of the United States won’t enforce our laws, that’s a pretty good indication that we’re becoming an endemically lawless society.
On February 7, 2022, the Washington Post editorial board wrote one of the most absurd, if not completely senseless, editorials to come out of that paper in the past 20 years. It’s titled: “The U.S. Needs More Immigrants and More Babies.”
In 2019, I bicycled through San Francisco to see it for myself. The streets reeked with feces, rotten food, rat droppings, needles, trash everywhere and urine. When I pedaled through Los Angeles, it was almost beyond imagination how anyone could live in such human misery.
For the record, my wife Sandi and I live day to day with a sense of hope and harmony. We exercise, do our jobs, fix dinner, watch movies and contribute to our community in Golden, Colorado. We enjoy friends, go dancing and laugh a lot. We’re grateful for all our blessings.
Each day, Joe Biden and Congress import an average of 10,000 legal and illegal third world immigrants into our country. They can’t speak English. They lack any educational background. They carry corrosive cultural practices. They head toward the welfare and food stamp offices of each city where Biden flies them.
If any politician tries to stop the human trafficking, sex trade or drug trade, they kill them, and/or their family members. Guys like the drug lord Al Chapo kill with impunity. With all the billions of dollars in the hands of the rich and powerful, the average Mexican lacks a 6th grade education. They murder police officers who get into their way.
For the past several years, Hollywood and TV celebrities continually trash the United States at every juncture. Ironically, most of them attained millionaire status from their “make-believe” jobs of acting. Few of them ever picked up a shovel to actually work a real job that makes America viable.
Let’s face the facts: The president of our country—Joe Biden invited-allowed-encouraged 2,000,000 illegal alien migrants to violate our borders in 2021. Our U.S. Border Patrol documented that fact. That’s 2.0 million people who unlawfully jumped our borders. They arrived from 160 countries.
What’s happening to Western Countries cannot continue if we hope to hold a shred of freedom and/or viability for future generations. When respect for the rule of law diminishes to a point of what’s happening in Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, St. Louis, Baltimore and Los Angeles—those are the markers that lead us into a lawless society.
If Joe Dementia Biden or his handlers keep him from dealing with reality, it means our country will be dealing greater consequences down the road. I’m reminded of Eleanor Roosevelt’s famous quote: “We must prevent human tragedy rather than run around trying to save ourselves after an event has already occurred.
And yet, no one does anything to stop it. A female black law attorney of Chicago gives a pardon to every hardened criminal that comes across her desk. Mayor Lori Lightfoot cannot and will not solve the “Murder Zone” of Chicago. We’re talking ineptitude, incompetence and corruption at the highest levels.
Can you imagine all those trans-athletes with five o’clock shadows, hairy arms and a package between their loins arriving at the athletic event in dresses, high heels and makeup? Good grief! What a show! After they set new “Trans-records” in the butterfly, crawl, and breaststroke, etc., they could all hug each other and give butterfly kisses because they are so happy for each other.
The invective today has a much broader connotation, meaning essentially that the accused is not on board the woke / critical race theory bandwagon. So, if you don't hate whites in general, you're a racist. Ironically, this means that unless you are a racist, you are therefore a racist.
On January 6, 2021, an estimated 700 American citizens broke into the U.S. Capitol. They didn’t carry guns or firebombs or heavy artillery. At the very most, history will call it a spontaneous “riot.” One female suffered a gunshot death by a capitol police officer. One officer suffered a heart attack.
One of my dearest friends, Don Collins, former U.S. Navy commander, and brilliant historian when it comes to America’s past and future, gave me a sobering interview from his 90 years of living on this planet.
Do you get the feeling that 2022 will become much worse than 2021? Do you get the feeling that our government spirals out of control or should we say, competence? Do you feel that SO much corruption in Congress brings with it political Karma and real consequences?
If we import enough of warring tribes out of the middle east, we will see our own country suffer a conflagration that we won’t be able to put out because it will become endemic to our entire system. We can’t even stop Black Lives Matter from burning our cities to the ground.
As we sit in our homes to wave goodbye to 2021, it may be worthwhile to look back over a very sobering year. Sure, most of us lived through the pandemic. But, over 800,000 Americans didn’t live through Covid. Our hearts go out to their friends and families.
I stood up, tightened my hood and looked for the penguins. They were gone. Only the pack ice rumbled toward the horizon. I turned to my bike. It’s hard to believe that two rubber tires laced together with spokes and rims—and attached to a metal frame could carry me from the Amazon Jungle, to Death Valley and on to where the bolt goes into the bottom of the globe.
Years ago, as a math-science teacher, I rode my bicycle to work each day to Brighten, Colorado. At 22 miles, I pedaled my legs off to make it to work in 80 minutes. A quick shower, dress, open the doors to my classroom, and welcome 33 students, daily.
But underlying all of that, Joe Biden stacked another 2,000,000 refugees onto America that he invited to violate our borders…and your tax dollars will run into the billions to pay for their welfare for years if not decades. You will pay for their medical, schooling of their kids, ESL courses, breakfasts and lunches, apartments, cars, fuel and more.
Except it’s not White people “smashing and grabbing” millions of dollars in mercantile goods in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City, Detroit, Chicago, et al in 2021. In the summer of 2020, it wasn’t White people who burned, looted and killed to the tune of $2 billion in property and goods.
In 2021, we American citizens face a cavalcade of misinformation from every direction in the news media 24/7. It’s almost incredible that we can’t get the straight scoop from CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR, PBS, and CNN.
My wife and I lived right next to the Columbine killings in Denver, Colorado 20 years ago. The two boys gave every kind of notice that they were violent and ready to kill for weeks before their slaughter of a dozen fellow students at Columbine High School. Nobody paid attention. Their parents ignored all the aberrant signs of their kids.
This Christmas season, humanity’s vibrations accelerate toward love, fellowship, brotherhood, sisterhood, family and friends. Each of us gravitates toward kindness, reverence and gratitude.
You can’t quite wrap your arms around what’s happening in the United States today. You can’t reasonably grasp what the president of our country stands for or what he’s saying with his vastly differing directions and words. One message one day, and a completely different action the next! Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger, Joe Biden doesn’t understand what’s going on, either.
So, this Thanksgiving, let all of us bow our heads in prayer. Let us give thanks to God, thanks to our spouses, thanks to our kids, thanks for our grandparents, thanks to our friends. When we do that, we enrich our lives, and we enrich their lives.
Most people don’t remember when the “junk food revolution” started, but I remember those 20 cent hamburgers at McDonald’s just off my college campus back in 1965. Who didn’t carry a buck in their pocket for so much cheap “food”? You could buy three burgers, a packet of fries and a Coke for less than a dollar.
As the U.S. Border Patrol reports in November, Joe Biden invited 2,000,000 (million) illegal border jumpers into the United States in 2021. They walked, ran and/or swam across our southern border on an average of 200,000 monthly. During that time, Biden has airlifted, bussed, and Uber’ed those two million people into cities and communities across America.
Jesse Watters declared Joe Biden a "horrible president" Saturday on "Watters' World," highlighting the president's failed promises and low approval ratings at 38 percent. You have to wonder who those 38 percenters are and what are they thinking?
As we learned in the previous column, our president and Congress continue flooding our country with legal and illegal refugees. An estimated 5,000,000 (million), net gain, added to our shores in 2021. If that continues for another eight years to 2030, we’ll see 40,000,000 people added to our country.
This year, Joe Biden facilitated an invasion of our country of an estimated 2,000,000 (million) illegal aliens. Additionally, Congress invited 1,000,000 (million) more legal immigrants. All immigrants, in turn, average 900,000 new babies inside our country annually. Also, Biden flew 100,000 Afghan refugees illegally into our country. On top of that...
The governor’s race in Virginia this week proved that you can’t keep bashing America’s basic goodness by pushing the sheer stupidity of Critical Race Theory. You can’t force America’s children into hating each other via the color of their skin. You can’t make...
In this age of political corruption, worthless Congressional Critters, our president advocating for open borders, useless wars and political pundits…humor might keep you sane. At least, if you’re laughing, you’ve got a chance to keep your sanity. Otherwise, you’d be reduced to balling your eyes out daily.
All those fast-food joints sell non-nutritious, unhealthy, chemicalized and over-caloried food stuffs. Those “foods” do more damage to one’s body over the years because it’s a slow-motion process. The average American eats 140 pounds of white sugar annually. The amount of Coke, Pepsi and Mt. Dew screams off the charts.
Joe Biden is a product of 47 years in Washington DC. Clearly, as a U.S. Senator, he accomplished not much more than endless, meaningless speeches. Even more clearly, as you witnessed in last week’s nationally televised Townhall meeting with Anderson Cooper, Joe Biden lacks a grasp of what’s happening in America.
This president continues to break our laws. He ignores our Constitution. He refuses to enforce and/or secure our borders from invasion. Article IV, Section 4. He blindly, if not stupidly, or via his dementia, ignores what’s really going on in our country. Or, is he doing it on purpose?
In Norway last week, a Muslim man who was unable to procure a weapon, decided to use a bow and arrows to shoot four women dead and injured two others—all in the name of Allah. Right now, in Oslo, Norwegians flee as that city suffers 36 percent middle eastern immigrants brought to them by their president of Norway.
Who stands to gain from America’s changing into tribal factions such as you see in India, Mexico and/or today, in Europe? Why would such rich and powerful men want to destroy our highly successful civilization—and turn it into a poverty-stricken multicultural morass? Who will benefit?
America stands for free speech, freedom of job choice, freedom of education, freedom of spousal choice, freedom to make a decent living, freedom to eat what you want and live where you want, and just about every other freedom known to humanity.
Are there any community leaders in Chicago sick about the continuing violence in their communities? Why aren’t they enacting solutions? Why not parenting classes? What about after school classes and peaceful activities? Why isn’t Oprah taking her billions of dollars and helping her people out?
“If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and moral, then it is not a political party. It is a conspiracy to seize power.” —President Dwight D. Eisenhower, March 6, 1956
In this age of political corruption, worthless Congressional Critters, our president advocating for open borders, useless wars and political pundits…humor might keep you sane. At least, if you’re laughing, you’ve got a chance to keep your sanity. Otherwise, you’d be reduced to balling your eyes out daily.
In the past week, U.S. Border Patrol agents tried their best to stop 18,000 Haitian illegal migrants from violating our borders. All of it caused by President Biden’s insane invitation to illegally invade our country. Biden can now take credit for the dumbest retreat of our military in the history of the United States: Afghanistan of the Taliban.
What’s almost beyond understanding stems from the fact that a motorist called 911 to report that Laundrie hit and slapped her alongside the road. A cop intercepted the couple. He talked to them. He could see her distress and the cut on her face, but for some reason, he allowed her excuses to not arrest Laundrie.
In the past nine months, over 1.4 million illegal refugees violated our borders and now reside in our country at a cost of upwards of $65 million per month of our taxpayer dollars. That’s on top of the 1,000,000 legal immigrants that entered our country this year. That’s on top of the 300,000 anchor babies and their mothers that subsist on our tax dollars.
Does anyone of those 545 Congressional Critters possess an ounce of common sense? Do you think what’s going on in Washington DC resembles anything that’s reasonable?
If you’re a Republican, Independent or Democrat—you must be scratching your head daily as to the utter folly of those 545 people that you elected to serve our nation. Why aren’t they collectively solving our nation’s problems? Why aren’t they making common sense decisions? Why don’t they do what’s right?
In the past week, the Dixie Fire in Northern California burned 432,000 acres by Sunday. By the time you read this column, another 100,000 acres. In other words, we can’t contain it or control it. Too much heat in the atmosphere and too much kindling on the ground.
We now understand by the Department of Homeland Security, that between 23 to 27 honor killings are committed annually in the USA with another 500,000 cases of female genital mutilations all committed by Muslim immigrant men as commanded by their Islamic religion. We’re talking murders and assault and battery on young girls.
One of my journalistic colleagues, Charley Reese, recently retired from the Orlando Sentinel. He’s a journalist for as long as I have been a journalist around 50 years. He’s seen what I have seen. He shares his views of America and our current quagmire as brought to you and all of us by those 545 rascals in Washington DC.
Like you, I am sick to my stomach that 13 of our finest military men died in a suicide terrorist’s blast in Kabul, Afghanistan. I’m even sicker to my stomach that Joe Biden, a draft dodger in his youth, made it happen. I am sicker still that Four Star General Milley LET it happen.
We’ve got Jen Psaki standing out in front of the cameras every day, pretending that she knows what she’s talking about, but she doesn’t have a clue as to what’s really going on. In fact, she learns more on CNN and Tucker Carlson with Lara Logan than she knows from her hideout in the White House.
On February 23, 1945, U.S. Marines planted Old Glory on Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima. It marked our victory over the Japanese. It’s been America’s iconic symbol of victory over tyranny since that epic moment. All Americans who visit the Washington DC Mall step up to that enormous bronze statue that dominates the area.
And to top off the Afghanistan debacle, this cognitive deficient president has opened our borders to an invasion of illegal refugee migrants, literally waltzing over borders to enjoy food, housing, and medical care paid for by us. All at the expense of our own poor, our own homeless, our veterans, and our own dispossessed.
As the 20 years of Washington DC’s stupidity plays-out in the final American defeat in Afghanistan during the next week, let us remember why G.W. Bush attacked: to kill bin Laden after 9/11. Well, our Seal Team Six accomplished that mission in 2011. Why didn’t we pull out a day after that event occurred?
In 2020, Black Lives Matter and Antifa anarchists ruled the streets of many American cities. One faction celebrated a lifelong known career federal felon. George Floyd proved himself a model for everything wrong in a human being: drug addict, woman beater, car thief, robberies, passing counterfeit money, porno star, shoplifter, federal prisoner…just an all-around nasty, contemptable human being.
In the past week, the Dixie Fire in Northern California burned 432,000 acres by Sunday. By the time you read this column, another 100,000 acres. In other words, we can’t contain it or control it. Too much heat in the atmosphere and too much kindling on the ground.
Dr. Seuss’ “Cat in the Hat” is now a racist book! That’s like saying if you drink white milk instead of chocolate, you’re a racist. If you like daytime more than nighttime, you’re a racist. That’s like saying the reason that Tom Brady won the Superbowl stems from the fact that he enjoys “White Privilege.”
Have you ever watched the TV program, “My 600 pound life”? If not, it shows obscenely obese men and women who have eaten themselves into gargantuan bodies from 600 to 800 pounds of rolls hanging all over their frames. They can barely breathe, walk or live.
Racial strife boils into violence at the drop of a hat in our big cities. African-American gangs in San Francisco, Chicago, LA and New York City openly shoplift products in bags and run from the stores. How much do they steal? According to crime reports, shoplifters steal $50 billion annually. Over 27 million Americans are regular shoplifters.
As an extensive world traveler, I’ve witnessed failed civilizations. At 1.38 billion people, India touted as the largest “democracy” in the world, must also be deemed the biggest “failed” country in the world. India defines mass poverty, human overpopulation, human misery and hopelessness in the majority of its citizens.
First of all, I am a Baby Boomer and an old man of 74 years. I watched America trudge through the Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm, Afghanistan and Iraq wars. All of them fraudulent, unnecessary, costly in money and lives, and benefited no Americans other than corporate elites and bankers.
Wednesday night on national news, one of the top broadcasters noted that a United States Border Patrol official reported that 1.0 million, that’s 1,000,000 illegal migrants have passed into the United States since Biden took office. That’s ONE MILLION illegal entries.
Last week, crews removed the iconic statue of Lewis & Clark/Sacagawea in the center of Charlottesville, Virginia. They also removed General Robert E. Lee on his horse. Rioters have toppled statues of Lincoln as a racist, Columbus and even civil rights icons.

But when you overrun the age of 70, your life changes. Your perspectives change. Your understandings of the years, piled up like silage in a silo, remind you that this life is a terminal disease. You’ve used up a good bit of it. You might enjoy a year or ten years, but you’re not sure as you attend a lot of funerals.
Adventure is not always comfortable; however, it’s still adventure. It’s not always safe, either. Whatever it is, it beats a couch, remote control and the inane, indolent TV any day of the week.
