Really Right

Folks, during my lunch hour on Tuesday, I visited a part of Sacramento County that is basically claimed by no one as their own. I had a chicken bowl at Ariana’s upon the recommendation of fellow food blogger Johnnie Does and decided to eat it in the parking lot. Bloggers note: In CA the ‘rona can get you if you dine inside, but if you eat outside it skips over you. I erred on the side of caution, upon finishing my meal, I walked over to a movie theatre called United Artists.

The parking lot was empty, upon closer inspection the place almost looked abandoned. The trash cans had been pulled out, and the box office looked bare. This place obviously had not seen a customer since I would say 3/19 AKA 1 ASD (After Shut Down). The employees are likely sitting at home making more now than they did while working. Worse yet, can anyone name a movie coming out any time soon? I am not even joking here. The photos I am attaching were taken at 1pm on a normal workday. For contrast, this lot would usually be fairly busy as this is one of 2 theatres in the south part of the county.

At my local gym, they have erected large outdoor tents covering almost the length of a half a football field, and in essence moved the gym entirely outside. Ditto for several local diners, additionally most have erected additional outdoor dining tents, equipped with side plastic barriers, and heat lamps. William and I are of the opinion that this is because indoor work outs and dining are subject to change at any moment. In fact, just this past Tuesday, Comrade Newsom made a remark that the Covid cases in our home county were experiencing an uptick. If you own a business, or one that can modify its business model, you must be vigilant, and innovative.

Lest you think I am joking, consider this, after working out Tuesday night, I swung by the Safeway on my way home. 3 employees who used to sell gym memberships or be personal trainers I recognized as now working there. Yes, Cal-Fit may not be a career, but the sales staff and personal trainers typically are there for quite a few years, so there is something. I stopped and chatted with all 3 and they said they were all laid off, memberships are all in cancellation as opposed to people buying, folks are buying home gym equipment such as a Peloton, and finally gym memberships are not a requirement during a pandemic. These 3 had worked at Cal-Fit a combined 12 years, now they are stacking shelves and working the till. No offense to those jobs, but all 3 seemed miserable.

Fear not though, Harris-Biden will shut the economy and Newsom seems happy to order shutdowns, so your fears of getting Covid should be put at ease. In addition, the government seems eager to hire on more folks here in CA and if you act quickly you can get a job at EDD (unemployment office) here and be rewarded for your incompetence.

Be careful what you vote for,

The Chief

You know, I almost feel sorry for this guy. His upbringing is not his fault. It’s hard knowing your whole life that your brother is the heir, and you are the spare. Yep, daddy Joe had a favorite and it wasn’t Huntr.

(Please note that I know I’m misspelling the name in hopes it gets past the big tech filters when discussing this topic.)

When Huntr’s brother died, I heard that dear old Joe said that the wrong Biden had died. I’m not sure if this is correct, but given what we know about Joe, this might have some basis in truth. His son that died, Beau, was moving upward in the political world and appeared to be following in dad’s footsteps-less any charges of plagiarizing speeches and appropriating biographical details pilfered from other politicians. The young man was seemingly a better version of his father, but we’ll never know because his life was cut short by cancer.

Huntr went to all the right schools but never seemed to find his place in the world. Maybe the pressure of always being second or not good enough finally broke him. I know this can happen to some children very early in life. Maybe having the spotlight on him because of who his father was, or unreasonable expectations was just too much. Some people are so deeply flawed for whatever reason that they are just broken. Huntr seems to be a lost man. He seems to spend his free time with women of ill repute and utilizing recreational pharmaceuticals.

After his brother’s death, Huntr’s dad found a use for him. Huntr was a tool used by his dad to increase his personal wealth and power. It is reported that Joe got half of whatever money he could get funneled thru his son’s bank account. So, the money from other countries was thus divided by the “big guy,” half for Joe and half for blow.

This is how people go to Washington as paupers and leave as multimillionaires. This is a bipartisan earning program, but Democrats have elevated graft to a high art form. This has been going on for longer than I’ve been on the planet, and not just with the current crop of rats in the swamp. L.B.J. is a case study in using his office for self-enrichment. So was Harry Reid. Ditto for the Clintons. Bill went from nothing, doing a gig as Arkansas Governor for $35K a year, to being worth close to a billion dollars within a few years of leaving the White House. How does Maxine Waters represent one of the poorest congressional districts in the country and own a six-million-dollar home in southern California plus one in the D.C. area when she has never made north of about $125K a year?

When you work in the swamp, the best way to boost your earnings is get jobs for family members. Heck, one babe on the Broad Squad (Ilhan Omar) gave her husband over 2.7 million dollars during this election cycle (which is not over yet). Sorry, I’m not sure if this was the brother that she married to get into our country or her new husband. (Guess Allah is not too picky about incest and divorce and all that as long as you vote socialist.)

I guess you see what I mean. Joe Biden can get more money and power if he gets more family members on the take. Such behavior is usually legal when Democrats are dominant in D.C.—which is most of the time. As others have pointed-out, Joe got a round of applause from bragging about how he got the prosecutor investigating his son fired. The Council on Foreign Relations still had the raw video available on the internet for anyone to watch last time I checked.

Huntr seems to be troubled by being exploited by his father. I suspect Joe was too busy with his career to spend much time with his children when they were little.

Joe Biden—like Bill Clinton—has had an unusual number of people around him die. Look at his bio on Wikipedia if you don’t believe me. Being a “red shirt” in Star Trek, a business associate of Bill Clinton, and a Biden family member are all very hazardous occupations.

This brings us to Huntr’s laptop. Please note that I don’t know of anybody making five figures a month that would willingly abandon their personal computer to a repair shop and then never pick it up. This would be doubly true if I had home movies of me smoking crack and getting a Lewinski from some babe that worked by the hour.

Reading up on the laptop is an eye-opening exercise too. It is strongly implied that it was the pornography on the laptop that got the computer shop proprietor to take a further look at the contents of the computer. The emails and laptop contents were reported to the FBI and it appears that the FBI literally had the smoking gun evidence to clear Trump of the impeachment charges but embargoed the information. Some have also speculated that such information could be used to gain leverage on Joe Biden should he ever occupy the White House. Then there is the child pornography on the laptop. Was this discovery the reason why it was reported to the FBI and not the Biden emails? Probably. The computer guy at least had the good sense to make a backup of the computer’s hard drive or it probably would have disappeared in some government black site warehouse—kind of like the one shown at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark—or met a similar fate to Hillary’s private server.

The other thing to come out of this Huntr laptop story is that finally the Republicans and Democrats are in agreement that the big tech companies like Twitter, Google, and Facebook will undergo examination and trust busting by the federal government. Frankly, I was surprised to hear that the House democrats had voted to break up some big tech companies just days before the laptop story broke. I’ve long suspected that Trump would be overseeing the breakup of the big tech companies when he was elected four years ago but as a lame duck President, he is in a better position to do this. (Yes, I believe Trump will win reelection.) The tech guys have earned whatever punishment is headed their way.

I think good has come from this episode. Maybe come the first weekend in November, Huntr and his dad can inaugurate his dad’s retirement from public life with some quality time together. In my opinion, Joe has a lot of lost ground to try and make up with his son.

I can recall not too many years ago when every Toyota in California was adorned with either a rainbow Apple Computer logo or an Obama logo bumper sticker. Four years ago, a like number of vehicles had either I’m with Her or Hillary Clinton stickers.

However, in this Presidential cycle, I can’t recall if I’ve even seen a Joe Biden sticker. Frankly, I’d guess there’s way more Bernie or BLM stickers in circulation. Heck, there’s more Trump stickers in California than Biden ones.

President Trump can do a rally anywhere in the country and draw north of 20 thousand people but when Biden did a rally a few days ago in the swing state of Ohio, he drew a crowd of about 30 cars.

Democratic nominee Joe Biden delivered a speech in front of around 30 socially-distanced cars of supporters at a “drive-in rally” on Monday…

Biden speaks to 30 cars of supporters at Ohio ‘drive-in rally’

If you read the story, there were more Trump supporters at the event than Biden people.

Biden didn’t necessarily get a warm welcome, with Trump supporters lining a road to the union hall, waving “Trump 2020” flags and far outnumbering the Democratic nominee’s fans.

Oh, with a turnout like that, Biden thinks he’s within striking distance of beating Trump in Ohio!

In light of the above, why are many presidential pollsters claiming that Biden has even bigger numbers than Hillary? Frankly, this doesn’t make sense.

Folks, Trump has enthusiastic support all across the country and his base has not moved, in fact, Trump says, people are more enthused for him now than in 2016. In addition, Trump has made gains in demographic groups that the Democrats have long neglected and taken for granted.

The pollster’s assertions that Joe is walking away with this thing are not true. Look at where Joe is campaigning. Does Joe act like he’s ahead by ten or twelve points? Why does Kamala Harris now have to claim that she’s the Black Hillary to try to drum-up support? Why are New York, California, and other Democrat states still locked down if Joe is cleaning Trump’s political clock? Why is Joe gagged on his positions on packing the Supreme Court and such if he’s really got this in the bag? Why cancel a debate with Trump if he’s really beating him up?

Folks, “politics is perception” has been regarded as a truism of politics but the disconnect from what the Democrats and media want to be true and how they’re acting is a very wide chasm. My perception is that they’re in trouble but don’t want the rats jumping ship, at least until they’ve voted a few times between now and November 3rd. I think the Dems are bluffing to stay in the game and save the down ticket races.

However…

If the Democrats happen to win this year, you will never see a Republican President again in your lifetime. In fact, Kamala will get her wish to turn the other 49 states into California and you will see one party rule until the financial wheels come off the economic wagon and then something worse will take its place.

Our country is facing a pivotal choice to either turn towards its roots or continue on a path of existential suicide. Folks, if the Democrats win, our future in not to become a European socialist democracy but a totalitarian socialist state ruled by a few elites. These guys have been praising the French Revolution as their model for many decades and now they may get a chance to try it here. Americans are extremists. We won’t become partially socialist. We will either reject it or fully embrace it. Is the Constitution a document that limits federal power or a suicide pact for our Republic? Your vote will decide this November. Oh, no pressure, but there’s no “do over” on this one.

I just read another nonsensical screed by the Associated Press claiming that President Trump won’t denounce racism. The author then goes on to claim that antifa doesn’t really exist, that it’s just an ideology not an organization. The author also has the hutzpah to claim that the protests in places like Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Louisville, etc. are peaceful and nonviolent. Really? In short Trump is a liar and the rest of the world knows it.

President Trump refuses to disavow white supremacy during debate

Folks, this is such a pile of steaming excrement that it should need no rebuttal but sadly, such are the times that we live in.

What Associated Press and their fellow travelers have done is erect a strawman argument which exists only in their minds. When Trump tries to engage in facts and not the fictional constructs of his opponents, they denounce him for not accepting their premise. Think of the Left (the media, Democrats, etc.) loving the emperor’s new clothes. When Trump points out that the emperor is naked, they attack him for his ignorance.

The first thing that you need to know as you dive into this subject is that the Left has its own unique definitions for terms which are often at odds with the plain and standard meaning, at least when compared to your English dictionary.

On the Left, the first error that you will encounter is their definition of “racism”. You see, in the Liberal lexicon only white people can be racist. Hatred that blacks have towards, whites, Mexican, Jews, Koreans, or any other groups is not racism. Unless you agree with the lie that black hatred cannot be racist simply due to their skin color, but all whites are filled with hatred due to their skin color, then you will never grasp the parameters of the subject. The fact that such a claim is a perversion of the meaning for “racist”, is irrelevant. Oh, other non-whites can sometimes make the same claim against whites as long as they don’t call blacks racist. Blacks own the issue but will grant limited use of the term to other groups when it serves to advance the false narrative.

Also, Liberal politicians can wield the racism mantra as long as they are Democrats. Yep, the Party that is home to the KKK, has exclusive claim to call their political opponents racist; although they will occasionally throw the black guy under the bus if it helps the party. (Treckkies–think token red shirts in the landing party.) See our blog post on Jerry Brown and the Democrats killing the State Board of Equalization if you need an example.

Locally, this issue is playing out in the mayoral race. If you oppose Steve Ly for his alleged ethical lapses, then you are racist against the Hmong people.

Elk Grove mayoral debate interrupted by demonstrations

To further complicate the race topic, Liberals think first and foremost of people as groups, conservatives look at people as individuals. Liberals claim and mantle of Dr. King, but Conservatives are the only ones that believed him when he talked about judging people by the content of their character not the color of their skin.

Thus, when a Conservative and a Liberal talk with each other about race or a variety of other topics, they are not really discussing the same thing because they have no common point of reference.

The next thing to remember when talking about race, especially when President Trump is concerned, is that it is assumed that Trump is racist and no amount of evidence to the contrary can change their minds. The fact that Blacks, Hispanics, and every other demographic group is better off under his administration than they were under Obama is irrelevant to any Liberal. Trump is (fill in blank) and that’s the end of the discussion.

The logic is this:

Liberal: “Trump is racist.”
Normal person: “Why?”
Liberal: “Because Trump is racist.”

Oh, the Associated Press had more zingers of BS in their alleged news story.

Remember those riots in cities run by Democrats? The ones CNN et al. have refused to cover. You know, the ones where black business owners are shot and have their businesses looted and destroyed by people claiming that Some Black Lives Matter? The guys that want to defund the police departments in places like Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, and yes, Sacramento.

Per the AP story, none of it ever happened. Nope. Democrats only engage in peaceful protests and love law and order. I wonder how big the check was from George Soros to sell that whopper of a tale.

Trump has tried to tie incidents of violence that have accompanied largely peaceful protests to Biden and the Democrats…

Oh, there’s more in this paragraph.

Trump has tried to tie incidents of violence that have accompanied largely peaceful protests to Biden and the Democrats, running on a “law and order” message that warns people won’t be safe under a Democratic president. It’s a message aimed squarely at white suburban voters, including women who voted for Trump in 2016 but may not do so again.

Folks I can’t name a single person that voted for Trump in 2016 that will not enthusiastically vote for him again in 2020. The above paragraph from AP is a load of manure. Why wouldn’t women (and men), black, white, or whatever vote for Trump? He deserves the vote. The unstated assumption by the author is that women may not vote for Trump because he’s putting a woman on the Supreme Court and we all know she is evil because she believes in God and is prolife. Yep, she has a problem with women’s rites and as a result, suburban women may not vote for Trump unless he scares them into voting for him on another basis.

If you need even more proof that I’m right about racism, then try this paragraph.

At another point in the debate, when discussing a Trump administration move to end racial sensitivity training in the federal government, Biden directly called Trump a racist. He also accused him of trying to sow racist hatred and racist division in the country.

Again, Trump sees people as individuals not groups. Trump wants everyone’s vote so why would he alienate anyone. Up until Covid, minorities were doing way better under Trump that Obama, so exactly how does that make Trump a racist?

The racial sensitivity training is nonsense and promoting a Liberal viewpoint that is nonsense and hateful. If we’d practice the Golden Rule instead of outlaw it in the public square our nation would be in a better place.

Biden called Trump a racist?! That’s laughable.

Here’s our pop quiz for the day:

Who said the following in 2007, Donald Trump or Joe Biden?

Most noteworthy is what he says about Barack Obama: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

Obama Clean, Articulate, Bright African-American

Hint, the speaker is judging Obama on the basis of his ethnic group and skin color.

Sorry but our time is up.

If you guessed Donald Trump said the above, then perhaps you should not vote in this election because you clearly haven’t been paying attention to what Joe Biden really says.

I don’t think I’ve exhausted the subject, but I feel better having vented about the AP article.

The verbal and textual gymnastics employed to craft this article by the writer at Associated Press would make a Liberal biblical scholar envious.

This article is yet another illustration of my favorite quote from Walter Martin, “A text without a context is a pretext…usually for error.” In reality we learn very little about the debate last night and much about the beliefs and prejudice of the author.
