Never Democrat

The Democrat Party believes anyone who opposes their authoritarian power grab is a Trumper. I am not a Trumper. Trump is an idiot. Biden is an idiot. Both things can be (and are) true. American voters are bigger idiots for forcing us to choose between these two demented old men.

Both major parties have let us down, but only one of the parties is an existential threat to our way of life. The Marxist/Socialist Party more commonly known as the Democrats has finally gone too far. During his long and controversial career, Trump has probably done something that should have been prosecuted. But convicting him of something else on that basis is not how our justice system is supposed to work. The Democrat Party manipulated this case against Trump at every level, up to and including the judge and his various reversable decisions. But it doesn't matter to the Democrats if this case gets overturned on appeal, as long as that happens after the election.

I'm probably still not going to vote for Trump this fall. On our recent primary ballot, I wrote in Nikki Haley's name. But I will never, never, never vote for another Democrat at any level due to the ridiculous transformation they have gone through the past 16 years, and the past four years in particular. Bidenflation and Freeloadernomics are just two aspects of their delusional, destructive governance. The Republicans are far from perfect, but they are the only alternative we are allowed to have. That is, at least until the authoritarian takeover by the Democrats is complete, after they destroy democracy in order to save it. This country is becoming the rich man's version of Cuba.

No Irish Need Apply

I came across this image of the house my family lived in in 1960 when I was a tot. It was on the edge of Pierre, SD, and just visible to the right is empty land that extends for hundreds of miles. As you can see, the driveway isn't paved, and I don't see anyone being forced to pick cotton in the yard. Six people lived in that house and there was one bathroom. But some people tell us that our family is privileged and should pay reparations to them based solely on the color of their skin and what other people who are long dead did to their ancestors. The African people of 200 years ago do not have a monopoly on being victims of mistreatment. As someone with an Irish name, I know what the English did 200 years ago to my ancestors, but I'm not looking for a handout.

Simple question

I really hope we don't have a rematch of the 2020 presidential election. But if we do, for me it comes down to one question. Do I want a president who is offensive, perhaps criminally so, but implements the correct policies, or do I want a president who has implemented ALL of the wrong policies and perhaps sold us out to Communist China for a few million dollars? Both candidates are vile, disgusting old men who should be retired, but for me the choice between them is obvious.

Propane privilege

I see Barrack Hussein Obama has installed not one but three propane tanks at his lavish Martha's Vineyard estate. Too bad he suffers from so much systematic racism that he can't install 10 tanks. Anyway, I thought fossil fuels were killing the planet.

Why would someone need propane tanks in their yard or compound? As I experienced this week in the Montana flooding, when the electricity goes out it is very handy to have an electrical generator, in my case powered by natural gas. With brownouts and blackouts all but promised this summer due to the increased demand and decreased supply of electricity, putting in a backup energy source is prudent. Never mind that Obama is a hypocrite for saying one thing and doing another. Why is the electrical system getting strained? Perhaps because during his time in office, Obama did everything he could to kill coal-fired power plants completely, and wind/solar can not make up the deficit. I read somewhere (I know, great attribution) that the entire state of Connecticut would have to be covered with windmills to power just New York City. And what happens when everyone is required to give up their gasoline vehicles for EVs? The math doesn't add up, but the same people who lecture us about medical science don't seen concerned about the limitations of current energy technology.

Every time we see John Kerry (the husband of ultra-rich ketchup/catsup heiress Teresa Heinz) boarding his private plane to go lecture someone, he takes a moment to remind us that we need to make sacrifices to save the planet. Harry/Henry Markle-Montbatten-Windsor tells us to strive for zero emissions to protect the environment as he rides two horses into the ground during a polo match, just after jetting back (privately of course) from his mum's celebration. Must be nice to be an elite and play by rules different than what is expected of the deplorables.

In the Soviet Union, the powerful had their dachas and everyone else was required to suffer. Just saying.
