In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Some Might Call it Sedition

 A Dem Senator thinks that if Roe Vs. Wade is tossed by what science now reveals, a "revolution" will follow.  Is that a warning? Or, is it she is just running her mouth with the hope her words are followed? Either way, she needs to be censored by the Senate, and her constituents need to think about how it is folly to elect such a reprobate.

What an Arrogant Ass

 Fauci thinks he represents science. That, and all detractors are nothing but noise. If this doesn't get him kicked to the curb, with numerous boot prints on the seat of his pants, nothing will. He has to go, and he has to go with the assurance he never has the ability to influence public policy in the future. He's dangerous, and a criminal.

As Life Goes On

The last two trips to the dermatologist led to some more treatments with liquid nitrogen, and some biopsies. All but one of the biopsies were clear, but the one, which was on a small area that felt like it had a metal shaving in it, revealed squamous cell carcinoma. Fortunately, the biopsy removed all of the cancer, so the next phase is to keep an eye on the area, and let the doctor know if something doesn't seem right. 

The doctor prescribed a topical medication (Flourouracil) for the areas of keratosis the sun caused over the years of exposure. So far, it seems to be working, and over time, will remove the areas of damage. That's a good thing, because I was finding parts of my lower arms as ugly as homemade soap. 

So, it continues. I pay for the foolishness of my youth, but have been lucky by not having dreaded Melanoma. Time will tell if I avoid this forever, but since I keep a close eye on my skin, even if I do, the chances of it becoming dangerous will be greatly reduced if caught early.

A Brutal Reality

From what I understand, viruses are tenacious survivors. When they destroy their host, survivors mutate to cause less severe conditions, which allows them to survive, without killing the new hosts. This creates an environment where only some die from the virus, but the rest continue to mutate to allow another host. For those that are infected, a natural immunity from exposure to the virus remains after infection. Mutations of the same virus may cause some symptoms, but not so severe as to cause death.

Created viruses are different. With molecular changes, they can jump species, attack their new hosts, and without a natural immunity, a pandemic can be created; whether by accident or intent. How the new hosts reacts is not known, until the virus is studied, and a possible vaccine can be created. If the virus is like Ebola, or some strains of Influenza, the result can be disastrous. Millions can die, before a natural immunity is developed. Efforts to develop a vaccine may be fruitless, since the virus can spread to a sufficient number of hosts in a short period of time. Only natural immunity allows survival.

We are at the point where a mutated virus has traveled through all developed nations, and the result is not of a species actually wishing for survival of all. Politics, intentional attempt of tyranny, and mass hysteria have removed all efforts to seek the truth. This prevents a solution, and allow the most to survive. 

Do people have a natural immunity to Covid 19? From uncensored reports, they do. Also, it's not known if those with natural immunity from other viruses are protected. There hasn't been enough time to determine this. In fact, there's no set time when exposure started, or how far it was transmitted before it was discovered. It is known that many determined to have been infected showed mild, or no symptoms, which to logical thinking, means extreme measures are not required, and the small number of individuals with severe reactions are not dangerous to most of the population. 

The reaction, in my opinion, was fabricated to cause chaos, and the removal of liberty. Initial statistics showed it was no more dangerous than Influenza, and the huge money drain for a cure lead to political advantage, huge profits for pharmaceutical manufacturers, and a terrible effect on the world economy. To make things worse, the supposed vaccine has not only shown to be ineffective, the biological changes it creates leads to a higher incident of Covid infections by those given the serum. Multiple injections are now demanded, and variants may be so aggressive, those that had the injection may find they not only are in danger from the reaction to the injection, the variant may insure their demise. 

The brutal reality is ( regardless of why) those injected with the vaccines sold by pharmaceutical manufacturers have an uncertain future. Some believe there will be a mass die-off in the coming years, and others believe the effects of reproduction, and damage to children, will lead to a gradual reduction in the population. Either is horrible to contemplate, and considering those involved in preventing vaccine producers from liability, with Constitutional violations that demand prosecution, an atrocity that rivals the Holocaust, and the Cultural Revolution.

Nobody Cares

I've read a few reports about people that have all types of reasons to make Thanksgiving something it's not. The reasons vary, but they range from abstaining by some Native Americans, to animal rights activists condemning consuming turkey. I guess they hope they can make everyone's Thanksgiving miserable.

What they don't realize is that nobody cares. Millions had their traditional family gathering, thanked God for the blessings they have, enjoyed their meal and never for a single moment contemplated the whining, moaning, bitching and naval gazing by the few that are so wrapped up in their selfish thoughts, they can't realize Thanksgiving has nothing to do with their opinions. Thanksgiving is about being grateful for what you have, whether a lot, or little. That's a good thing to do, and those that think otherwise should go soak their heads.

The Big Feast

 I've been thinking about the past for the last few days. Many things popped into my head, and most were of the things that will never happen again. That, and how life leads to places never considered in the past, and the blessings bestowed. 

Every Thanksgiving has been a blessing. All were shared with family, and all had a meal that guaranteed I wouldn't be hungry on that day. That alone is enough, but with loved ones around to share the event, it was a glorious day to contemplate the good things, have a laugh, and lounge with a full stomach.

Happy Thanksgiving to all that visit, and my you have one of the best days of your life.

Things Change

The Salvation Army has been a low overhead charity for years. This allowed more money to be used for those in need. Unfortunately, they've become woke, which translates to whores for the Communists. I have a feeling the bell ringers will find some unpleasant things in their buckets this year.

Thinking About Things

According to reports,  the Biden administration is doing the following:

- Stopped U.S. oil production to where the oil reserves are being tapped. 

- Gutted the military, and continuing the removal of service members by discharging them for not being jabbed. 

- Screwed up the off-base living payments to Navy personnel.

- Has known ties to Communist China

- Gives aid to foreign nations known to be enemies of the United States.

- Doesn't prosecute known criminals that promote its narrative, but harasses mothers for protesting school board mandates they find are contradictory to their morals. 

- Condemns those that defend themselves with firearms, and ignores those that destroy property, kill innocent citizens, and the judges that continue to allow them to go free. 

- Ignores election fraud, and allows illegal campaign donors to corrupt elections unimpeded. 

- Allows invaders to cross our borders with impunity.

There are many other things, but the most concerning to me is the removal of security at the borders, the degrading of the armed forces, and influence by Communist China. China can never conquer the United States if the United States has a strong, well equipped military that doesn't allow Generals to fritter away money on useless arms only because they're receiving special favors by manufacturers. A better informed citizenry would observe the current situation, make strong efforts to stop the efforts of the Biden Administration, and many would be prosecuted for treason.

Career Suicide

 After watching pieces of the Rittenhouse trial, and the debacle of the Kenosha prosecutor's office, it looks like Thomas Binger might have reached the end of his career. What happens will be seen, but there are things that will sure be problems in his future. 

I doubt the District Attorney will keep him. Politically, they have no choice, since Binger is now an albatross. If they do, they won't be re-elected. If they don't, people will still wonder about the competence of a prosecutor that allowed such a public display of incompetence; if no outright corruption. Firing Binger will be the lesser of two evils, but the citizens will definitely not have a good opinion of the office. 

Binger is liable for prosecutorial irregularities. Whether intentional, or on purpose, they reflect on his license, and disbarment is a possibility. Without a license, his options in the legal profession are not nearly as lofty as they are at this point. Whether the bar acts, or not, many citizens will, and I'm sure the complaints are already being delivered. 

If I had to guess, and I'm guessing by observing other areas of the United States, Binger is part of the Soros backed seditionists being placed in office by huge amounts of election money. If so, he probably doesn't need the money from working. If not, there will be plenty of others to help him in the future. He's television material, and a book deal may be in his future. 

What Was Presented

In rural areas, Rittenhouse's actions are the norm. Law enforcement, at best, is fifteen minutes away, and at worst, may not arrive until they finish what they're doing. Only a handful of deputies patrol at night, and they might be covering hundreds of square miles. The protection of property, and self-defense, are not subjective opinions of the media, or woefully ignorant minions of the politicians. Action, when required, is instant, and those willing to become criminally violent are handled with extreme prejudice. 

Regardless of how the media is promoting the ignorance, city governments either become more observant of the laws that protect the citizens, or they'll find they can't find enough law enforcement officers willing to lose their morals and allow mayhem to flourish. Rittenhouse was only doing what he felt was what a responsible citizen should do, and he was right. Unrepentant thugs were roaming the streets of Kenosha, the city ignored their responsibility, and without the help of a long rifle, Rittenhouse would have become another murder statistic. 

Rittenhouse now has every right, if not the responsibility, to take the offensive and sue those that tarnished his reputation, promoted lies, and used their power of office in the attempt to remove his rights. Those so willing to sacrifice individuals for personal gain are as evil as the criminals Rittenhouse was confronted with. They should be punished, and the preferred punishment would be criminal charges for many, instead of monetary judgements, that may never be paid.

Now We Watch

Kyle Rittenhouse is vindicated. The Democrat traitors are angry, so are the Hollywood traitors, and they've become vocal with their displeasure. Unfortunately, those not happy with the verdict don't quite understand the rules of law, which they haven't followed for decades (if not longer), are in place. Including in the rules is the Second Amendment, which allows individuals to protect themselves from mobs, criminals, and anyone acting outside the confines of the Constitution. 

Now we watch. How will the citizens of Wisconsin  react to the angry thugs gathering in the streets? Will they allow them to destroy their cities? Or, will they react with equal, and more forceful, violence against those so willing to riot? 

Personally, I wouldn't be upset if the violent mobs found bullets as a reaction to their bricks. They deserve no less, and it will save money for prosecutions of violent rioters. 

If You're Awake, Go Outside and See the Eclipse

 I've seen a few lunar eclipse. The eclipse tonight is spectacular in my location, since the sky is exceptionally clear, the moon is near the head of the constellation Taurus, and with it almost overhead at 3:00 am, the moon looks tiny against the night sky. 

Times like these makes me want to add some astronomy gadgets to my wish list. With rare occasions, and near perfect conditions, once in a lifetime events can be captured forever.

What a Pinhead

 Joy Reid, who anyone with some intelligence would describe as a pinhead, thinks Americans should be grateful to the Biden thugs for the $2000 check they received.

Really? How about the long periods of time with insufficient income that the check didn't even begin to cover? How about the fact the check is only a small part of the income stolen with confiscatory taxes that every working American loses? How about the double digit cost of living increases that are crippling the budgets of all Americans, and especially affecting those surviving on low income paying jobs? Are we supposed to be grateful for these things? What about the effort to remove the rights of people by forcing a vaccine that may eventually kill a substantial number of the citizens? 

Joy Reid needs to go. That, and the alphabet network that pays her that is the propaganda media outlet for traitors.

On The Ghost Road

 I took a short day trip with my wife last weekend. We didn't have any planned route, but decided to not venture too far, so she could photograph some Fall foliage. 

As we drove, I thought of Ghost Road, which is all that remains of was once a railroad years ago. It has a history of unexplained lights, which is the reason for the name. I've never been through at night, but have friends that have, and told stories of seeing a light that hovered, disappeared, and reappeared behind them. There are many theoretical explanations, but regardless, it's an eerie experience to those that see the light. 

We stopped to photograph a beautiful tree, when she noticed something more photogenic growing on the side of the road. I don't know what it is, but it's remarkable. The tiny seed pod looks like a small leather bundle. 


I was amazed, and have never seen anything like it. If someone knows what it is, post a comment.

A Look at Section 242

 Federal law is specific on the crime of willfully denying a person their rights under color of law.

TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

So, how is it that federal, and state officials, can deny a person their right to work? Why haven't federal law enforcement officials presented evidence to grand juries for possible prosecutions? The questions are rhetorical, since it's obvious they don't feel the laws apply to them, and too, are in violation of the laws. It's tyranny, and they know it. To make things worse, too many brain numb people sit on their hands and let it happen.

Old Airplane

 I was out in the yard, and heard the sound I haven't heard much in years. It was an old radial engine air transport lumbering through the sky above ten thousand feet. The progress was slow, and reminded me of the early sixties.

I have no idea what it was, but know it wasn't a DC-3. It only had two engines, but I haven't found what it is on the internet. It brought back some good memories.

Another One to Ignore

 From past observations, I felt Gene Simmons was a logical thinker. I was wrong. Oh well, another opinion to ignore. He needs to retire. After his comments, I'm thinking he may have no choice.

The Madness of WW1and Veteran's Day

A little research reveals something I was either never taught, or didn't realize at the time. They called it World War One, but in reality, it was the great massacre. Million died fighting for a few yards of real estate, while the most modern of military technology smashed, hacked, gassed, and crushed those unfortunate enough to be fighting along the long lines of trenches. The scars of the long struggle are still visible, and even now, the fields are distorted by huge craters surrounding long furrows that were once deep trenches; like the thrashings of a drunk giant. 

This was repeated in WW2. Millions died, while half-mad rulers dictated their demise with impunity. They never suffered the horrors of battle, but those they sent to the carnage did. It continued in Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East, and continues today in places that the majority of supposedly educated people couldn't find on a map, if their life depended on it. 

Hopefully, those that served will never be forgotten, even though today doesn't have any meaning to most that take for granted those that served their country. We call them veterans, and they have a day for us to remember their sacrifices. Honor them, and never forget they have dreams, families, careers, and all must be pushed to the side while they serve. It may seem an insignificant thing, but to our veterans, it gives them some satisfaction for their sacrifices. While the day was created mark the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month that was the official end of WW1, it continues to remember all the wars, and peace time efforts, of those that served.

Examining the Ninth

 In my opinion, all the demands by government officials, and private employers, to remove the right of autonomy by not only not allowing a person their labor, but to fine them for not complying, doesn't prevent them from civil remedies. That, and those harmed by the injection, too, have the right for civil relief, regardless of any official mandate.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Regardless of all case law, former opinions, current opinions, or legislation that addresses the unique circumstances of the supposed pandemic, removing the ability to seek a redress for grievances can only be considered tyranny, and unacceptable. So, where are the brave attorneys willing to file a suit in spite of the government mandates, and supposed protection, for those that willingly subjugated citizens to arrest and harm?

The Search for the Truth

I've been working on this post for a few hours. I had some profound thoughts about journalism, current events, and the search for accurate information. After a few cups of coffee, a cat nap, and watching late night television, I realized how hard the truth may be to find. 

Did you know there's an Alaskan Triangle? I heard about it in the past, but now I've been educated about the constant visits by aliens, the prehistoric critters than roam freely, and a mountain that is filled with government officials, working with aliens on unknown tasks. In a way, it seems to me I might not want to visit there. While some events might be fascinating to observe, having to deal with some large prehistoric beast turning over the trash can doesn't seem exciting. I have enough problems with possums; and while they're somewhat prehistoric, they're small, and act like they're dead when really harassed. 

There are shows of strange events that have "experts" that analyze the footage to give their opinion. One event that really caught my attention was an "object" that moved across the sky with what was surmised to be purpose. It was interesting, but my expert opinion said it was a large cluster of balloons, which were probably released at a wedding. I had to change the channel, so I wouldn't wake my wife by shouting at the screen. That led to haunted places. 

While some of the haunted places shows are impressive, they all can be faked. I know this might sound harsh, but you can't make money with things that you can't record, and fabricating supernatural events is easy money; especially if you have some good video skills, with the software to boot. The fear looks real, but in a really creepy place, with a group of people, the sound of a building creaking due to thermal changes can leave all of them running for an exit screaming like little girls. They do have gadgets that record electromagnet events. They go off to warn of these events, which are supposed to be spirits arriving. It looks impressive, but wouldn't a call on a cell phone do the same? After all, unless spirits have their own FCC band of frequencies, such gadgets would have to register a broad band of frequencies, and face it, we're constantly bombarded with electromagnetic radiation. Even our car fobs are creating electromagnetic radiation.

I watched part of an infomercial for a small space heater that costs over forty dollars, is worth about twenty dollars, and can fit in a large purse. Fit in a large purse? Is that a hint for how to obtain one without money at Walmart? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the infomercial?

The worst thing was the news. That's where pundits, and other supposed experts, expound personal opinions as though they're facts. Meanwhile, the actual facts are crushed into indecipherable statistics created by corrupt data, and compiled by nefarious individuals without names. To make things worse, it all is dumped into the cesspool of social media, where it's corrupted to the point even an imbecile should be suspicious. Unfortunately, this isn't the situation, and apparently, imbeciles are one step above the normal viewer of many news channels.

So, my profundity was corrupted by too much coffee, time, and television. I did keep my title, and first chapter. Here it is:

The best of journalists demand accuracy, their good ability to present their investigation into clear script, and unimpeachable information.  We still have some good journalists,  but it's getting tougher to decide who they are. The truth, however, is out there.

Twenty Six Ignorant Wastes of Oxygen

 When it comes to the U.S. Constitution, rights are for citizens only. These Democrats  fail to understand this, don't want to understand this, or are just outright seditionists wasting taxpayer money on ridiculous efforts. May they lose their next election, and we have new congress critters with more awareness than garden vegetables.

Going on the Offense

 I think Virginia should do a careful audit of the election. Call it "going on the offense". Why? Virginia was easily won by Biden for the national election, and I doubt there are that many wishy-washy dumbasses in Virginia. My experience with the state showed the opposite, and if Biden won so easily, someone cheated, and were probably cheating during the governor election. Ferret them out, and punish them severely. Take money from the districts were the fraud is found, and use it to pay the cost for the audit.

No Trust

I don't trust any politicians, public entity, the media, and many in the medical profession. Why? Politicians lie, public entities are filled with culls from the private sector, the media fails to report facts, and too many in the medical profession are either incompetent, have financial gain for peddling unsafe medications, or have woefully incompetent staff.  I have a feeling the majority of people in the U.S. feel the same, and the pot is starting to boil.
