The Olympics

 

This past weekend I spent some time watching the US Olympic trials.  I was very impressed by so many of our young athletes.  So many of them proved that through hard work and determination you can achieve your dreams.  Simone Biles shines in gymnastics and in the final rotation fell off the balance beam.  The reason I mention it is after she finished her routine she was sitting with her coach and neither of them said one word.  She had a few tears run down her cheeks as she knew she had made a mistake but you could tell was harder on herself mentally than anything her coach would be able to say to her.  After this she did her floor routine and redeemed herself.  But that desire and picture spoke volumes for who she is and how much pride she has in herself and our country.

Conversely we had an athlete, Gwen Berry, who finished third in the hammer throw, made the Olympic team and proceeded to turn her back to the flag on the podium and cover her head with a shirt reading "Activist Athlete."  When asked about it she said "But I don’t really want to talk about the anthem because that’s not important. The anthem doesn’t speak for me. It never has. My purpose and my mission is bigger than sports, I’m here to represent those … who died due to systemic racism. That’s the important part. That’s why I’m going. That’s why I’m here today.”  In other words she is not there to represent the best values of the United States, she is there to selfishly use her platform to point out how racist America is in her eyes.  For those who have kept up with this blog know I fully support free speech and every Americans right to peacefully protest.  I also believe the sports fields are not the place for such things, especially the Olympic sports fields.  I would have no problem with her leading protests, not riots, in her community or raise money to combat any racism she feels exists, just not while competing and representing America in front of the world.

Maybe I am an idealist but I have fond memories of watching the summer and winter games.  Watching the best athletes in the world compete to prove their country is the best in their respective sport.  Then when winning and standing atop the podium to have the Gold medal placed around their neck while their countries national anthem plays.  Some athletes beam with pride in the accomplishment, some break down in tears, and some stand tall and represent the best values of America.  That is what I want to see from our Olympians.  I also am not one to call for boycotts or cancelling of someone but in this case I fully support the Olympic committee removing her from the team and not allowing her to represent us on the world stage.  

The obvious differences in these things is a painful reminder of what our society is becoming.  Our younger generation are becoming self entitled, unappreciative, and most of all ungrateful for all of the blessing our great country has given to them.  Why would an Olympic athlete who is obviously blessed with a great life where she is taken care of and idolized feel oppressed?  Yes there is a long history of racism in our country.  Yes racist people still exist today, although a small minority of people.  And yes when we see it we should call it out and do our best to change that mindset.  But in reality her actions just prove what our young people are being taught and groomed to think.  There is nothing wrong with patriotism and nothing wrong with being proud to be from and represent America.  Lets get back to a point where we stand on the word stage and prove why our country is the greatest in the world and why we are a beacon for all people to strive for.  I am proud to be an American despite our historical flaws.

Radical ideas in modern times

 

I chose this picture for todays blog because it is very accurate to my beliefs.  Unfortunately for me I am what some people call a traditionalist.  I believe there are two genders (male and female),  I believe people have the right to make whatever choices they want including their right to say what ever they want (consequences of those actions are also something I support), I believe the federal government should have minimal involvement in our lives, I think the states rights should be above federal regulation, I am a flat tax person (instead of the top 17% paying 100% of the taxes that support the US I think 100% of workers should pay their equal share, lets say 10-15%, and nobody gets a tax refund at the beginning of the year), I balance my monthly budget why should the govt be exempt?, Morals and values are absolutes (Abortion aka murder included here), and lastly my right to own and shoot firearms is a right granted to us via the constitution and should not ever be taken from law abiding citizens.

Lets dive right into gender theory, science has proven through DNA and other biological features that there are men and women.  Gender theory is a social construct that states you can be a man and "know" you are a woman so you are a woman no questions asked.  How insane does that sound?  The far left of these ideas says you can be anything you want and the world should recognize your "individuality" and those who do not are non believers in science despite the fact science completely disproves these ideas.  Yes there are genetic abnormalities, those are a very small percentage of all people born in the world.  People are not born as robots, flowers, dragons, fairies, or any other inanimate object you want to be.  Pro-nouns are complete crap.  You are a man or a woman, if you are a biological woman you will never pass as a man, period.  Same applies to natural born males who claim to be a woman.

Free speech is loved by the left and liberals alike but only if that speech agrees with their ideology.  This is a complete bullshit idea.  Free speech is free for everyone and I don't think that is a radical idea.  The natural consequence of using free speech is that your words may lead to people reacting to you negatively, assaulting you, or even putting your very life at risk.  You don't need to agree with what someone says to believe they have the right to say it.

The tax code in this country is so complex that no one person can figure it out.  The statistics of taxation are not disputed and show that the bottom 83% of tax payers pay nothing in taxes.  This means they might pay taxes out of their paychecks but the "refund" they get at tax time is equal to or greater than what was paid in thus they paid no $$ in taxes.  The top 17% pay 100% of the taxes that fund and run the govt.  How is that fair?  Also if every single worker paid a flat tax the govt would have more money to spend that they currently do.  The other benefit is that is the one true way for everyone to pay "their fair share."  If you cannot see how that is the most fair option I cannot help you.

The next point I want to give a quick take on is the Federal govt and its budget.  Year after year the feds fail to or barely make a yearly budget and it usually is full of fluff and has a shortage no matter what they do.  As normal people we are forced to live within our means, why should they not be held to the same standard?  Once again the flat tax would force them to live within a budget as the govt would know what they were getting and not be able to increase the taxes to cover their inability to live within their means.  Your money is not their money.  

The lost art of morals is something we see slip further and further down the rabbit hole.  It started with the 60's and the idea of free love and the huge increase in acceptance of drugs in our culture.  The positive things from the 60's was the fight for civil rights and equality.  In the 70's we saw the beginnings of anti-male feminism.  The 80's brought punk and anti-establishment violence and the beginning of pushing women out of the home and into the workforce (I know the whole patriarchal idea blah blah blah).  The 90's-2000's brought more drug use and the beginning of division based only on the color of your skin.  We began to see riots over racial issues.  In the last 10 years we saw the rise of the trans and sexual issues.  We are now told we must acknowledge each person for their uniqueness but not to point out that difference or you are transphobic, homophobic, racist, etc.  Everyone wants to have no label placed on them but then gets upset for you no acknowledging their labels. We are also now expected to believe that a babies life is not valid until the mother approves of it and has and chooses to keep the baby.  How sick and disgusting is the idea that a life is not important until someone else says it is? How did we slip so far from where we started?

Finally our rights granted via the constitution are absolute and should not be taken from us by votes or force.  The 2nd amendment was put in place to protect us from a govt that would attempt to take our rights and harm us.  It is our one way to protect our families, friends, and way of life.  As we give a little bit to the govt they take more and want more.

As we give a little of what makes us the greatest country in the world away we fall further toward the very thing we stand against.  Now is not the time for weak men and women to give ground.  It is the time for people of strength and moral value to stand firm and stop this upcoming fall of our great country.  There is a quote which says "If you refuse to stand for something you will fall for everything."  How fitting is that for where we are at this point in time.  Don't be afraid to stand for values and moral you support.  If we do not stand and speak now we may not get the chance in the future.

Intellectual debate requires 2 intellectuals!

 

Throughout American history the intellectual minded people have gotten together, discussed the topics of the day and come up with solutions that both sides agreed were the best solution for the problems.  As Liberalism slowly took over the education system and colleges the idea of an intellectual debate became a thing of the past.  No longer could men and women, Democrats and Republicans, or Liberals and Conservatives sit down and discuss these things to help solve our problems.  The left raised multiple generations of students to debate with name calling and safe zones.  They are being taught if you disagree with someone that the best way to combat the other persons obvious lower IQ, since they most likely don't have a degree or any form of higher education, is to call them a racist, sexist, boomer, homophobe, transphobe, Nazi, or any other name they can think of.  Only then can you show how much more intellectual you are.  Only then can you show them how dumb they really are.  On the other side of the debate there are very intelligent people who may or may not have a degree from college.  The difference is those people want to learn, educate themselves, and discuss our times and problems to solve them, not just get handouts for being offended.  

I started my life in a fairly Conservative home.  I didn't care much for politics because I did not understand why I should.  I was never taught why the decisions politicians made really mattered.  It wasn't for lack of trying on my parents part, it was school scrubbing history and starting to make the common man feel as though Conservative values, faith and other things were not important and only a tool for the evil capitalists to control us.  That is where it ended while I was in school.  Now kids are being taught our founding fathers were all racists who infused our systems with racism and no matter what POC have no chance to overcome it without violence or rebellion.  They are being told all cops are out hunting black people daily.  That rich white politicians have gamed the system to hold them back.  They are being infused with an attitude of hate and non-patriotism.  They are being divided by everything and everything is being dubbed racist.  The only thing not being dubbed racist is actual racism!  

I see more and more white kids being told they are oppressors and need to beg forgiveness from their peers who are minorities.  The kids who are minorities are being told their white peers are the cause of all their problems.  White kids are being told if they do not accept and fight for the BLM movement, trans movement, or LGBTQIA+ movement then they are oppressing people and they should be met with violence.  To teachers, professors, and parents pushing these ideas I say YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!  5 year old kids don't need to know about trans genderism, sexuality, or any other adult topics.  They should be free to be kids and worry about playing and having fun.  I have found myself asking "what is the end game?"  The only way I can see it is history repeating itself.  

In all of history the rich and powerful push division as a form of subservience. A way to keep the Pleebs in order and not take the power back.  America was the one country in the world who has constantly pushed to evolve and create an equal playing field.  As slavery swept the globe we went to war with one another to end it.  As women around the globe have been made to feel inferior, we as a nation pushed for women's equality.  In no way have we been perfect but we have done more to create an equal playing field than any other nation worldwide.  We have the richest poor people anywhere in the world.  We have laws in place to protect against discrimination, sexism, and all forms of crime.  So why would the powerful in our country want to end that?  It is simple, to keep their power.  The modern push for socialism because "Other times it has been tried they didn't do it right" is leading us down a path that will lead to the destruction of life as we know it.  Unless we stand and fight now we will lose all we have created.  

Like I said we are far from perfect, racist people still exist although the entire country is not racist, the poor are made to feel as though they cannot or will not climb out without big daddy government handing them everything, the rich feel untouchable, and the left wants open borders and no police.  What point will it be too far gone?  At what point will fighting make no difference at all?  A quote often attributed to Thomas Jefferson but more commonly attributed to Gerald Ford states "A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have." Greater words could not be spoken.  As big daddy government takes the reigns, divides us as a people and uses our youth for their own means we must realize once they get total control the people who blindly followed will be discarded and left for dead.  Conservative values are not sexist, racist or any other -ist you can find.  They are patriotic, seek equality, and express love and support for our fellow Americans.  If you are more liberal please find sources which back your positions and stop calling people you disagree with names.  Let us unite as We the People before it is too late!

Catching up on America

 

    9 days since my last post and a lot has happened in America that I want to cover.  So this post will hit the top events going on and my feelings about them.  As you can see from the picture everything going on will be open to interpretation. 

    So lets start with our fearless leader, President Joe Biden.  In recent videos and press conferences we saw him lose his train of thought and mumble himself off stage, trip going up the stairs to Air Force One twice, and assign what is possibly the least qualified person to tackle the debacle on the border, Kamala Harris.  The one thing I have to say about this is I truly feel sorry for him.  He is obviously not well mentally or physically yet the left and the Democrats are pulling him along like Bernie in the movie Weekend at Bernie's.  It is a disgrace that they seem to want all of us to not believe what we are seeing and that he is still the vigorous politician of his hay day.  That leads to the second big thing that has happened, the crisis going on at the border.

    We have seen interviews with the "refugees" admitting they only came here due to Biden being in the office and if Trump was still there they would not even have tried it.  The media has been kept out of the detention centers until the past few days when the over crowding and conditions have been brought to light.  I saw a video yesterday of smugglers dropping a 4 and 7 year old girl over the 14 ft border fence and left them, miles from the nearest anything.  Our border patrol rescued them and also another baby who was dumped into the Rio Grand by coyotes.  We are seeing border patrol being told to release the illegal immigrants without any sort of court day setup and no way to track these people.  If we do not get this under control I honestly believe we will see the decline of America sped up at an alarming rate.  So Kamala was put in charge of getting it under control to which she has avoided visiting the border or the detention centers and actually laughed at a reporter who asked her if she was going to.  

    We also saw several mass shootings.  Conservatives responded by preaching about self defense and using the 2nd amendment freedoms we have.  Liberals demanded more gun control and taking of weapons.  Same shit different day I guess.  

    Several states have put bans in place preventing Trans-athletes from competing with the group opposite their biological sex, ie trans-women in women's sports.  The left immediately rose in defense of Trans-girls being girls, despite the science that says otherwise.  Here is my take, the science and physiology of men and women is different.  If you look at only the physiology you will see why this idea of allowing men to play women's sports is a bad idea.  I also have previously written a blog about this so all my research is there if you want to read an in depth analysis of my thoughts.

    GA and other states have passed laws protecting voting integrity.  They have things like Voter ID, minimal mail-in voting, and a limit on when polls would close and voting would end, hint it is all the same day ending at 5pm in most cases.  The case that has been presented against voter ID is that poor, marginalized and elderly people would not be able to get one, thus preventing them from voting and ultimately being a racist policy.  The left wing media giants and other companies have begun to push for banning their companies from working in GA and the other states.  In essence punishing the govt and people of GA for trying to make the voting fair and equal.

    The covid vaccine is being shot out in mass everyday and we are still under lockdowns and told to avoid people and wear masks at all times.  For those who don't see the problem here nothing I say will make you realize how stupid this is.  I have gotten my 1st vaccine and I only wear a mask when absolutely needed.  

    Our kids are still being kept at home and taught from a distance but the illegal immigrant kids in San Diego county are being given in person instruction by the same teachers unions who say that is dangerous and have fought against going back to class.  Why are the tax dollars being paid by parents in San Diego being used to educate illegal immigrants in person but it is too dangerous for the children of those parents to go back to class?

    I will sum the past 3 months with this final paragraph.  Trump preached America first and his policies and negotiations with other countries put the interests of America first in ever way.  We became energy independent and saw gas prices stay below $2/gallon a majority of his term in office.  We saw the flow of illegals into the country slow to a trickle (about 850/day).  We saw jobs created and unemployment hit the lowest it has ever been across all demographics.  We saw major corporations return to America to produce their products which was a huge boost and led to the best economy we have ever had.  But last Nov he was "voted" out because he was mean and tweeted things!  Since Biden took office thousands of jobs have been lost, unemployment is rising, illegal immigration has sky rocketed (now almost 6,000/day), big companies are leaving for other countries to avoid the coming tax hikes, violence is on the rise, and policies being proposed will sink us trillions upon trillions into further debt.  3 full months into 2021 and at this rate we will be lucky to make it to December.
