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.

Fading Into Obscurity
A country and western artist made a comment to Rolling Stone magazine against the NRA and gun lobbyists. While I never heard of Eric Church, I have the feeling his career is in the outside spiral around the bowl of the ceramic throne. I'm thinking he should have paid attention to the warning: Caution, be sure brain is engaged before putting mouth in gear. Dumbassery has infected another performer, and the prognosis is terminal for their career.

Will There Ever Be a Cure?
I read different news sources daily. I guess it's out of curiosity, and an effort to stay informed. Over time, I've noticed a pandemic, which needs a cure. The illness? Dumbassery, which affects even the well educated.
The symptoms can be subtle, but become apparent, when someone affected is forced to logically explain their opinion, or behavior. At that time, they become irrational, their blood pressure rises, and physical restraining may be the only solution for safety of those around the sufferer.
Education is the only cure for dumbassery. Unfortunately, too many educators are severely affected by this condition. This leads to an increase in sufferers of the affliction that causes people to completely lose their ability to reason, or arrive at logical conclusions.
One way to decrease your exposure to dumassery is to avoid any media outlet that uses only a few letters of the alphabet in advertisement, or uses headlines that don't apply to the report being presented. It's an easy task that only requires turning the channel on your television, or refusing to link to the site.
Another way to avoid dumassery is to avoid dumbasses. If you're like most people, you not only find them at your work, a family member may cause constant problems. While avoiding dumbasses may sometimes be hard to do, it's best to do so, since arguments only lead to stress, and removes the hassle of dealing with law enforcement after a justifiable shooting.
Will there ever be a cure of dumbassery? I doubt it, but the numbers of people with this problem can be reduced by being aware of the problem, and educating those not severely affected by the disorder.

In the Near Past
It wasn't that many years ago, when Socialism, and Communism, were considered evil. Why? Because the forms of government demanded the removal of personal liberty, confiscation of personal wealth, and those in power lived as royalty, while the common citizen was treated as property of the state. Those in power were more equal than those without, and if starving a group of people to death was beneficial to the state, it happened; and those that starved were without recourse for rebellion. The government removed firearms as one of the initial necessary actions for the "safety" of the state.
Today? Enough foolish people are embracing these failed forms of government, and even some of the media are part of the following. This is a form of sedition. The Constitution prevents a centralized, all controlling government, and will be further ignored by any entity that believes personal freedom is something to be ignored for the "good" of the state.
I should be amazed at the ignorance of too many people, but I'm not. The steady diet of lies, with subverted facts, left generations without any clue to the evils of Socialism, and Communism. Until the feds are removed from education, the slide downhill will continue. Ignorance only breeds more ignorance. Too many of our supposed educators only teach what the state demands, and are now minions of the state.

Lost in a Sea of Dumb
Louisiana Senator John Kennedy said former CIA John Brennan is "Lost in a sea of dumb". This was his reaction when asked about Brennan's comment about Trumps actions in Helsinki as being "nothing short of treasonous". It's a good comment, but falls short of my low opinion of the man.
Brennan voted for a Communist in the 1976 presidential election, which was his right, but leads me to wonder what type of administration would allow him to run the CIA. That, and how he managed to work his way through security clearances to such a high level of a U.S. intelligence agency. Affiliation of that type, during that time, was regarded as a legal form of sedition, and not accepted by the majority of voters.
I doubt Brennan operated completely without some form of oversight. Even if his actions were only observed by lower members of the CIA, if they contradicted the safety of the U.S., somebody noted the actions, and they are not forgotten. If his actions were obviously the actions of someone operating way above their abilities, they would be noted, and somebody made a mental note. Whether more is known in the future is yet to be seen, but I have my doubts about that happening.
Personally, I think Brennan, and most of the Obama Administration, were hell-bent to reduce the Constitution to something easily manipulated outside the original intent. Without its protections, the U.S. government could be run like the tyrannical governments of China, and other Socialist countries. The power, and wealth, to be accumulated with an unbridled government would lead to a Nirvana for those willing to destroy liberty for personal gain.
Brennan may be lost in a sea of dumb, but he's smart enough to know he's a target. Being so, staying out of the public eye leaves him more vulnerable. Even if he has to make outrageous statements, he'll continue remaining in the short term memory of the public. That gives him some security, but I think the "boogeyman" is out there, and waiting. A man of his low character only deserves whatever happens, and I doubt it will be good for him. Supporting the subjugation of a society demands a severe punishment.

A Thought About Immunity
Some important members of Clinton's entourage were given immunity by the FBI. From what I've read, failing to be candid, or refusing to cooperate, can lead to the removal of the immunity.
What would happen if an honest investigator called them back in, pushed them to refusing to help, removed the immunity, and charged them with a crime? I think it would turn over a cart that needed to be turned over a long time ago.
