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.

Call Them What They Are

From looking at the news, ciphering what's reported, and reading between the lines, I can see many federal agencies are filled with thugs, parasites and derelicts. To make things worse, they give away taxpayer money at will for kickbacks and favors. When fired, many will take their grifting and swindling to the private sector. That's a problem and will make smart consumers very wary of products, and service, they purchase. Those in manufacturing will have to stay on top of their quality control.

What Might Be Found?

From reading some reports, it appears many U.S. agencies have been automatically paying for things they shouldn't be paying for. How much? The examination is in its earlies stages but it will be a substantial amount. Included in these automatic payments are to groups that don't have the best intentions for the United States. Maybe we should demand our money back, and go get it if they don't do as asked. One thing is for sure: find all these payments, remove those necessary, and punish anyone that authorized the payments without vetting the recipient, or avoiding scrutiny with illegal methods.

This Is How It Works

Jimmy Carter was President in the late seventies. They were terrible years for the economy, national security suffered, and the bureaucracy grew. Inflation reached double digits and the interest on borrowing followed the same path. People could get loans, but few wanted pay interest that was around 16% when it peaked. The U.S. learned a lesson, but unfortunately, after forty years, the lesson was forgotten, and we had to deal with another feckless Democrat President. In my opinion, this is a forty year cycle that will be repeated until the political parties follow the Constitution and demand everyone hired, serving, or on the bench do the same. 

I'll probably never see another President as bad as Carter, or Biden. Two time was two times too many.

Will They Court Martial Milley?

From what I've read, Milley is not insulated from a court martial by his pardon. So, to settle this matter, they need to proceed with trying him for what he was accused, or allow him to accept he is guilty, remove his pension, change his discharge to dishonorable, and let his legacy follow Arnold's. The crimes he has been accused of are serious; so serious the death penalty is a possible punishment. If he is innocent, then he can present his defense in a military trial. Until then, he should be treated as a criminal.

My Suggestion

I think Harris, Biden, and anyone else that facilitated allowing illegal aliens into the Texas, should be prosecuted for treason. The description of the crime fits their actions, any of the guilty party with pardons are not protected from state law, and the maximum sentence of 20 years should be the punishment for those convicted. When convicted, send them to one of the prison farms. Some years in the hot sun should bake out some of the evil.
