I must start by saying that I’m not certain this blog will ever be published; however, if you are reading it I must have made up my mind. It is written out of frustration and the fact that I have no one to vent that frustration on except you. I sincerely hope that I will be forgiven.
- I live in a society where individuals can be instantly hated simply because of the color of their skin or because they’ve chosen a particular religious faith to worship.
- I get most of my news from my desktop rather than television and it is very irritating to have to sit through a commercial before I can view the news event. Even more irritating is the fact that the commercials never change.
- Are you as tired as I over the women’s basketball fiasco? Several male players expressed an interest in playing on the woman’s team; however; we still have difficulty defining a woman. (You recall Justice Jackson’s inability at her confirmation hearing.) I have chosen to present a definition which I feel is accurate. This is it: a woman is an earthly human creature who has the capability to carry and deliver new life into the world. She is capable of doing so due to a physical attribute called a vagina which men do not possess. Instead, they have an equally distinctive appendage called a penis in polite society and several other things while having a beer at a tavern. Both are required to reproduce. I hope that settles it.
- Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey recently signed a bill into law which permits abortions up to birth! The scene reveals a crowd of women clapping and cheering as the signing takes place. The Catholic Church has taken action to excommunicate her as a result. Incidentally, Healey is a lesbian and has no desire to engage in the reproduction process herself. Most of you are aware of my feelings regarding the topic, but I will reiterate for those of you who don’t. Once the egg is fertilized, a new human being is created and to terminate it is an act of murder. How is that for an old geezer who is agnostic?
- The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution clearly states that citizens possess a right to privacy. As we all know, that is pretty much history with all the current invasive technology we come into contact with currently; however, I’ve recently been made aware of an extensive practice which takes the cake as they say. Devices are being installed in numerous public areas which record and store all activity taking place. These devices called Flock Cameras and about 120,000 have been installed to date with more on the way. If you drive by in your automobile the camera will record your license number and the speed you are travelling as well as possibly number of people in the vehicle. Obviously, this is a boon for law enforcement; however, it is a Fourth Amendment violation and citizens have been recorded vandalizing them.
- Finally, to complete my “ticked off list” is the Iran War. My admiration for Donald Trump is well-documented; however, his handling of the Iran conflict is disappointing. It is obvious to any intelligent individual that Iran is not interested in negotiation and will continue to prolong its aggressive activity until November 3rd in hopes that Trump’s Administration will be decimated. Trump must realize that many Americans are opposed to prolonging the conflict and this could affect the mid-terms.
The only solution is to invade the country and eliminate the current leadership. The overwhelming majority of the Iranian people would support the invasion and celebrate the defeat. A new peaceful Sunni régime would hopefully be created and the Middle East would flourish. Are you listening Mister President?
The mid-terms are certainly going to be interesting. I have some significant concerns considering the current socialist mania. I’d feel much better if the Save America concept was passed into law.
