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.

Looking For An Answer

After years of watching the different hurricanes, and the data buoy information, I've found the winds reported on the news don't match the winds of the data buoys. Sure, sustained winds can be over one hundred miles per hour, but none of the data of the buoys show winds as high as reported by the government, or the media.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm suspicious of anything coming from the government, or the media. If someone can clarify why the buoys are so far off, Id sure appreciate the information.

Something Will Start

The suicide bombing in Afghanistan, from what I've seen, wasn't an act sanctioned by the Taliban. Considering how they've operated in the past, there will be hell to pay by those that coordinated the bombing. They seem to have some kind of honor code, which leads to tribal warfare, and civil war. 

Time will tell how this works out, but the past reveals the resolution won't be by talking.

Worst Case Scenario

The current problems in the capitol have given me thought: What contingency plan is in the play book of the military for a worst case scenario? By worst case, I envision the lack of a President, Vice President, and Congress in disarray. The House Speaker will be the next in line, but their power will be limited to what the military allows. Congress would become a clown show of magnificent proportions.

I'm sure there is a protocol somewhere that specifies the accession of duties of military leaders, and how the country will be protected during a crises of such magnitude, but doubt many are privy to the process. The entire country will basically return to what it was before the government was created. The military would focus on security for the nation, and politics would probably be ignored, if the politics were in violation of the mandates of protecting the nation from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. How that would be defined is the big question. Would the military do what's right? Or, would the military be subverted by foreign influence?

It's obvious Biden is a danger to the United States. While the media, and many in government, ignored his ties to foreign influence, it's there, and they have him by the short hairs. Harris is nothing but a one trick pony, and her hiding in Southeast Asia speaks volumes on her ability to run a country. In a way, it's dangerous times for the United States. In another, it might be the best thing that ever happened since the corruption by foreign money, and the greed of politicians.

Received my Appointment

 The dermatologist's office set my appointment in early September. I know what's coming, which will involve some surgery, and whatever processes are necessary. Hopefully, there won't be the need for skin grafts, but if that's what it takes, that's what will happen.

Lack of Honor

Our military has been full of men with honor in the past. I'm sure their still are, but the current higher ranking officials have shown they'll ignore their oaths, and allow U.S. citizens to be terrorized by stone-age criminals with an agenda to destroy the modern world. How this ends will not be good, and they should be shot for their cowardice.

Professional Discretion

Those in the medical profession are trained to observe, and make decisions on medical treatments. This, to anyone with some logical thinking would cause some alarm, when those professionals have the largest percentage of individuals refusing to take the Covid 19 supposed vaccination. Why would they hesitate? What about the injection concerns them? 

From my viewpoint, the answer is simple: there's the possibility of something dangerous happening after injections, and the injection offers no protection from the virus its supposed to prevent. That should cause some alarm, especially when thousands of medical professionals were fired for refusing the injection. To them, the injection is so dangerous, they're willing to take on financial problems to be safe. 

There are many different sources that warn of the problems of the injection, and those trying to share this information can have their social media accounts suspended for their effort. This should be more than a concern, and those promoting the injection should be recognized as being foolish in their haste, and their efforts as dangerous.

Forgotten Lessons

 Afghanistan has fallen to the Taliban, which the U.S. furnished with weapons at one time, and then after years of training with aid, the U.S. sent thousands of young military members to kill in a fashion that resembles a horrible science experiment gone wrong. The private sector military complex made billions, politicians were rewarded with monetary gain, and the entire mess was financed by the hard earned taxes confiscated by the government. 

Next, we'll see the tyranny of the Taliban whip the populace back in line. Sharia law will be upheld with violence, and many will suffer horrible deaths. It's how they live, and they don't care what the rest of the world thinks. They've suffered through invasions throughout history, and two of the most powerful nations in the world left in disgrace for their meddling. 

Eventually, the country will return to the tribal conflicts that leave the country in constant turmoil. Those willing to throw decency to the wind will take advantage of the poppy crops and reap huge fortunes. The tribal politics will demand constant retribution for supposed infractions by others, and violence will be the method of solving all perceived problems.

New reports show China is entertaining the idea of relations with Afghanistan. They might be successful in their endeavors, since they've practiced ruthless methods for centuries. It might be the big change for the country, and the citizens that never really moved past the times of the past will find the same results of the rulers of the past. The carnage will be terrible to see, and the population will be reduced to numbers that will take centuries to replace.

Just Sign on the Dotted Line

There's a huge pile of pork floating around Congress, and most of them are not reading the bill. They have huge staffs to do that for them, which makes me wonder why the hell they're even up there; except that's their job. When it finally is determined how much more they need to increase the heat on the frogs, Biden will skip his nap to sign the bill into law. Of course, he has no idea where he is, much less on what's in the piles of paper demanding more money from taxpayers; with interest. A less polite society would have millions standing in line to start the tar and feather process. 

It's Extra Quiet

 At 5:30 in the morning, it's usually quiet, but on most days, there is the occasional car engine starting, the  rumble of a truck up on the highway, or the sound of a train in the distance. This morning - maybe because it's Sunday - it's extra quiet.

I was sitting on the porch, when I started listening to the local roosters starting their crowing. The usual close neighbor roosters started, but as I listened, more started, and as I started counting, I soon reached a count of 12 separate roosters crowing. It was as though they were communicating....maybe they were.

Dangle the Carrot

Employers that mandate the Covid vaccine will be liable for any adverse effects, since they mandated the jab as part of a workplace requirement. I suppose worker's comp will cover the costs of treatment, but as all employers know, claims increase rates, and high rates can remove an ability to compete, or make a profit. Employers can try to skate liability by offering incentives for voluntary injections, but the duress is really still there, and any pressure on employees can be construed as workplace harassment. 

So, what will happen? I don't know, but the manufacturers of the vaccine have no liabilities, and the insurance companies can use the leverage of increased rates to cover additional costs. When you add the possibility of death due to a company's decision, the tort sharks will circle, and have a feeding frenzy. 

This will be interesting to watch, but I have a feeling the bankruptcy courts might find increased business.
