Decisions made by President Trump that I find questionable...

This one is going to be short and sweet. It will also be decisively inoffensive. I'm not interested in being nasty to people anymore.

That being said, the last few posts in this blog have been rather pro-Trump in their tone. So, to balance things out, we need a post that's not pro-Trump or necessarily anti-Trump. There are 3 issues (so far) that leave me feeling puzzled about his motives and actions. They are as follows:

1.) Paying for the Mexican Border Wall

That tariff will just increase costs for Americans buying goods from Mexico. Essentially, it makes Americans pay for it instead of the Mexican govrnment. I figured something like that was going to happen when he first started talking about this wall during the election.





Whatever does happen, we definitely need to strengthen the security on that border. This issue is not going to have an easy solution (and not many really do) but, I'm sure the kinks can be worked out. He has started the process by tripling the number of Border Patrol agents. He has also seemed receptive to doing something else besides imposing a tariff after business interests and private citizens alike expressed their disapproval of the idea. It's refreshing to have an elected official that actually listens to his constituents.

2.) The Federal hiring freeze

The Federal government often has a lot of positions it can't fill easily, if at all. This temporary hiring freeze makes it that much more difficult to get those positions filled. After all, the VA definitely needs more doctors and nurses. That is especially true for the new VA hospital that's opening here in New Orleans pretty soon.

I do understand why he wanted to institute this hiring freeze. It's part of his efforts to 'drain the swamp' and cut down on government bureaucracy. However, that also limits my options in finding a new career to replace being an Insurance Adjuster. I probably wouldn't want to work for the Federal government again but, it was still nice to have the option... I guess...

Actually, no. It's not really that much of a concern. Working for Uncle Sam was bad enough the first time around when I was in the Army. I'm not going to make the same mistake twice.

3.) Forbidding Government Scientists from releasing their findings to the public

Why on Earth is he (supposedly) forbidding scientists from releasing their research data to the public? The public does pay for that research through tax dollars...

Is this an effort to ensure that incomplete data doesn't get released and end up misleading the public? Is this because of how he and most other Republicans consider global warming to be a scam? Or, maybe it's just as simple as the Trump administration reordering things they want them to be, just like all administrations do. That would be the most logical conclusion.

Of course, government scientists decided to release the data anyway out of spite through social media. Looks like they bought into the non-sensical left-wing media narrative about President Trump being the 'Cheeto Hitler'... And here I am, just sitting here thinking 'is this little pissing match really necessary?'

I'm not even sure how much Federal government science is actually being withheld from the public. NASA is still putting out stuff on their website. Something tells me that this is just another of those ways that the Media is desperately trying to besmirch the man's reputation. It's getting about as pathetic as it is desperate.

If anything else catches my attention, I'll be sure to post about that too.

About Barron Trump...

Just when I thought Radical Leftists couldn't get any lower, they decide to pick on an innocent child via Twitter, one of their little social media echo-chambers.

First, we have that disgusting old hag Rosie O'Donnell continuing her longstanding rivalry with Donald by claiming his son might be autistic...



With the wording of this tweet, it's easy to assume that she might have actually meant well. However, I'm not fooled for 2 reasons. First, I am well aware of the long-standing feud between this Hollywood actress and the new President. Second, ANYONE with even a modicum of good sense would know better than to make these thoughts so public. If she actually is concerned about the boy, why didn't she try to approach the new President's family through a private channel? If that ass-clown Kanye West can get an audience with Donald Trump then, just about anyone should have been able to speak with him!

And of course, people called her out on that bad move...






At first, Rosie O'Donnell tried to defend these comments but, that quickly stopped when Melania Trump threatened to sue people making that false allegation for defamation of character. After that, Rosie quickly retracted everything, apologized and skulked away like a scolded dog. That's probably the smartest thing that Rosie has ever done in her public life.

That should be where this ends but, of course it's not. Democrats these days will do anything to try to defame people they don't like. That's what happens when the party has been taken over by the kind of Saul Alinsky-reading radical leftist dumbasses that Vladimir Lenin happily called 'useful idiots'.

On Inauguration Day, a now-suspended SNL writer decided to say something stupid on her Twitter feed...


I'm surprised she didn't have the guts to try and compare Barron to Adam Lanza...

...and quickly got rid of it too. However, someone had got a screenshot of it first and made it go viral online. Before the end of the day, this chick had been publicly defamed. She was suspended from her job within the next 72 hours. As of this day, 24 Jan 2017, NBC still won't comment on if they plan to fire her. I don't see a positive outcome for her in that department.

And if you think accusing this innocent child of being autistic or a school shooter wasn't bad enough, it can still get even worse. Some other unemployable-lookin' shitbag/self-proclaimed comedian named Stephen Spinola decided to kick it up another notch and make it sexual... I really wish that I was sensationalizing things but, I'm not...





You disgusting Mother Fucker. I sincerely hope your mother slaps the shit out of you for this kind of talk. She ought to disown you too.

I know that comedians often push the boundaries of good taste because shock value often leads to riotous laughter. I use that routinely in my rather dark/sardonic humor every day, along with heavy doses of sarcasm and cynicism. Someone has to since George Carlin is no longer with us. However, I don't ever make fun of kids in this kind of way. Kids should not be involved in any kind of adult situation. It's not funny. Jokes about rape and bad things happening to kids are NEVER funny. Kiss your career goodbye, Cocksucker.

The moral outrage over this isn't the only reason why I got pissed, either. Picking on a defenseless child certainly is bad enough but, this one is also quite personal to me. As an Aspie, I am on the higher-functioning end of that Autism Spectrum the shrinks developed. There were also a lot of ignorant teenagers jumping to illogical conclusions and assuming I'd be the next school shooter after the Columbine Incident. So, I have a pretty good idea of what Barron and his parents might be feeling about all of this mess.

Attacking an elected official is fine. That's called 'pillory' and it's something that comes with the job. Attacking some politician's family is just disgraceful, unless those family members get involved in politics for themselves. That's the reason why Hitlary Clinton and Michelle Obama were both frequently criticized and lampooned. They entered the political arena in some way and became legitimate targets for public scrutiny and criticism. Going after Donald Trump's son is just as despicable as you Democrats not caring about Obummer's many drone strikes causing so much collateral damage. That collateral damage often included many innocent children being orphaned, hurt or killed. And the ones who survived usually grow up angry enough to join the terror groups we're trying to destroy. You people have no conscience and probably no soul, either. You disgust me.

Before I end this piece, I would like my audience to take a look at two more photos. First, a picture of young Barron as he is today...





And then, a family photo that People magazine took in 2006, shortly after he was born...




Does it look like there's anything unusual about him in the first picture? He's not showing any of the signs of a person on the Autism Spectrum there. (Blank expression, awkward mannerisms, et al.) He just looks like he's tired and bored. That's what you'd expect from a child having to stay up late at night at some political rally.

In the second photo, do you see anything wrong with the looks on his parent's faces? It's impossible to tell if a newborn is autistic or not. The signs don't start to show until about age 3. However, parents can still feel something being wrong with their child. It's one of those intrinsic things that all parents understand and science can't explain but, it's real. And if they did sense something wrong, you'd be able to see it on their faces. I've seen the look many times in my 35 years on this Earth. Other than being a bit stoic for the camera, I see nothing but love and pride in their eyes.

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times now. I just cannot believe that the Democrats have sunk to this kind of low. Even Chelsea Clinton said it was going to far in some of her recent comments to the News Media on this subject.

However, like I have also said a million times before, there's actually some good to these people saying such disgusting things. By misusing their right to Free Speech, they are showing everyone exactly what kind of detestable pieces of hot, stinking garbage that they really are inside. Armed with that knowledge, it should not be difficult at all for the American public to discern that they should not be associating themselves with any of them.

Over the years, I have done my best to try to help Democrats return their party to sanity and bring them back from the extreme. I've engaged them, befriended many of them and did my best to explain how their party has gone off the rails and needs to be put back on track. I did this because there needs to be a 'balance in the Force', so to speak. We can't have just one group of people running things. That turns a free society into an oligarchy like present-day Russia.

However, I'm not going to bother with that anymore. It's now obvious to me that it's too late. They're too sick to be cured. There's only two things that can be done now:

1.) Promote worthy 3rd party alternatives to forever destroy the false dichotomy of having to choose between Democrats and Republicans. The Libertarians have shown enough promise to get me to vote for them across the board in the 2016 election. I'm hearing nice things about another group called the Constitution Party as well. I will be investigating them further.

2.) Destroy the Democratic Party altogether and create a new party in its place. Hopefully, this new party will both understand and embrace Classical Liberalism.

How to contact your elected officials

If you have any kind of social media account, you've no doubt seen a lot of political shit-posting these last few days because of President Trump's inauguration and the sea change in Washington.

I've engaged in a lot of that shit-posting myself, just for shits and giggles. However, sometimes I feel compelled to actually contact my elected officials. Here's how you go about that process for the Federal level. I won't list state and local levels because that would fill a small book.

Contact Info for Congress

Senate:

Online: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

Senate Telephone Switchboard: 202-224-3121

House of Representatives:

Online: http://www.house.gov/representatives/

House Telephone Switchboard: 202-224-3121

Contact Info for the White House

Mailing Address:

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Comment line: 202-456-1111

Switchboard: 202-456-1414

Online contact info/e-mail submissions:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact
https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/write-or-call

And that is how you contact your elected officials and let them know what you think/feel/want them to do about various issues. Please be sure to be polite and respectful to them, especially if you didn't vote for them. Remember, we are all Humans and we all have our own perspective. None of us are 100% right or wrong all of the time or anything resembling perfect. Leadership is never easy, especially when you're part of the leadership for the reigning global Super Power and answer to a population of over 308 Million souls.

Time for a little shit-posting...

Okay, let's see who I can piss off in this first post of the new year...

Democrats...

Trump is going to be sworn-in to the worst job on Earth this Friday and the Dems are still unbelievably butt-hurt at him winning the election. Looks like they're going to do the same stupid shit they did 16 years ago when George Bush beat Al Gore.

I could go on and on at great length about how that won't work and how they're shooting themselves in the foot but, I'm not going to bother. They have done far too good of a job soundproofing their echo-chambers. So instead, all I'll say is...

Hail Pepe!

Cyberstalkers with unrequited homosexual crushes...

That shitbag faggot that tried to cyberstalk me/try to get me kicked off Facebook decided to create his own blog talking all kinds of shit. As one might expect, it's a giant mess of poor formatting and bad grammar. It's also really sad that this guy thinks I'm so important. So someone who was in your Basic Training unit decides he doesn't like the Army and gets out... So what? Is it really so important to you that everyone else has the same opinion as you? (BTW Uncle Sam, feel free to kiss my DD-214.)

He didn't try to call himself 'Psycho' in  BCT but, I think that term would still easily apply.

It seems he got pretty scared when I threatened to go to his Chain of Command to report his cyberstalking too. Turns out he was being medically discharged from a toxic unit in Korea and, he claims, that this was affecting his brain and making him do stupid shit. I think those mental issues (which he freely admits really do exist) is the real reason why that unit decided to chapter him. Me threatening to go to his chain of command apparently added to his stress level. Forgive me for not feeling all too bad about that...

If you want a great laugh, check out his blog... assuming you can understand it with all of its poor formatting and grammar. I could make an entire post about how wrong he is (and strongly considered doing so) but, it's not worth my time. It's pretty damned obvious that he's delusional and insane. Picking on a mentally ill person is not cool, even if he did cause me a considerable amount of aggravation. However, that won't stop me from saying 4 things to him right now...

1.) Just because you're out of the Army doesn't mean your safe, guy. All that means is that I go to Federal law enforcement instead of JAG, Army CID or some unit's chain of command/concern. Your best bet is to never darken my proverbial or literal doorway ever again, dude. There will be no other warnings.

2.) As for your gayness... Well, I really don't know what you dream about fucking and I don't want to know. It was all of my friends observing your behavior on Facebook that thought you were gay. I didn't want to even speculate on the matter. However, after reading through your blog, I'm now convinced that you are probably a closet case who's really upset about getting rejected. I'm sure that really sucks for you...



3.) As hilariously retarded as your posts are, there's something I saw in one of those posts that is not funny... "The Army already has given me a suicidal problem as it is, and I'm not going to let this shitbag do the same to me."

I don't want you to kill yourself. I just want you to go away for good. Like I said earlier, NEVER darken my proverbial or literal doorway ever again.

4.) Criticizing my music page on Facebook, heh? Still upset that I kicked you off of it, Fagmeux? What did you expect? You were supposed to help make it much easier for me to run and you didn't. I told you NOT to post a lot of stupid shit that made the page look pro-drug use and you still did. (Remember all the pics of pot leaves and Yoda being photoshopped to look like he was smoking dope?) Also, I was going to change the format anyway. For a while, I was planning to make Punk have a larger role in the rotation and you were going to make that happen since you're knowledgeable in that area. After looking at the crap that you did post, it became abundantly obvious that Punk was total garbage. (Outside of the few bands that I already discovered decades ago in my youth, anyway...) So, that shit was already on its way out along with you and your fuckery.

And as for you saying there isn't enough variety... Well, here's what was posted today, 16 Jan 2017...

  • Epica
  • Nightwish
  • Led Zeppelin
  • Crowbar covering Led Zeppelin
  • Stone Sour covering Alice in Chains, KISS, MetallicA, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest in the same video
  • 2 videos from Slayer
  • A Full Album video of the Beavis and Butt-Head Experience
  • Whitesnake
  • Monster Magnet
  • 2 videos and one link related to Lita Ford
  • A local NOLA band called CAIN Resurrection 
  • PanterA
  • Foreigner
Anyone expecting more variety than that is expecting way too much out of a page they get to view for free.

Stupid/Arrogant Celebrities...

The Leftists that make up Hollyweird's 'talent pool' are really starting to piss me off. You all may have a right to express your opinions but, not a right to try to cram that opinion down my throat. From now on, when one of you acts like a fucking retard, I'm cutting you off. I will not watch your movies and TV shows. I will not buy your records. I won't read your books. The list is already getting pretty damned long too.

All of that will actually be pretty damned easy to do too since...

A.) I don't go to the movies often anymore. (The only 2 films I saw in 2016 were the new Star Trek and Star Wars movies)

B.) I don't have cable and watch only a select few programs on Netflix.

C.) I have enough movies and TV shows on one home video format or another sitting in my living room to provide a decade's worth of entertainment. That's assuming I watch 3-4 hours of TV every night until I run out of VHS tapes, DVD's and Blu-Ray discs that haven't been watched at least once. Gotta love those box sets filled with film sagas and whole seasons of TV shows...

D.) Most music albums these days are also pure garbage. (Does ANYONE in the recording industry remember things like melody, harmony and rhythm?)

E.) I haven't bought a new book in years, mostly because I have such a huge backlog that getting new ones is completely unnecessary.

Simply put, you assholes depend on me to make your lifestyle possible. So, dispense with the talking down to the 'little people' that you think are all ignorant, hateful inbred rednecks just because Hitlary didn't win the election. She would have been the worst possible choice imaginable. That's how a seemingly ego-maniacal real estate billionaire managed to beat her. As many negative qualities as Donald Trump does have, he's not a crooked career politician promising 4 more years of Obummer-style misery. Wanting to start a war with Russia, rigging the Democratic primaries, being investigated by the FBI and routinely violating national security certainly didn't help her chances, either.

So, again...

Thank God the Republic still stands...
