Attack a Tree - Sacrilege - Attack Democracy - meh....

Look - Arson is a series crime. A person has been arrested in the Burning of the FOX Christmas tree, as they should be, and they need to get the Full extent of the LAW.... That all said - the inconsistency has to be pointed out.  a Few things first - A) FOX is not News .  I do not know how they live with them selves over there......  They - that s their on air personalities  (they are not News People)  rail against the wearing of masks to control the Covid-19 spread, while their own networks mandates masks in the work place.

 And now - this is the coverage and statements on the Burning of the Christmas tree.  

They covered this story as their MAIN news items of the day,,,, Fox News declared the fire to have been a “hate crime”—an attack on the network, on “America’s tree,” on the country as a whole, and on Christianity.

 Brianna Keller of CNN had the perfect response to the FOX news coverage of their Christmas tree being a victim of Arson." Thankfully - no one was injured ,,  but they could have been ... 

“At Fox, when the target is a Christmas tree at their workplace, it is a sacrilege,” she declared. “But when the target is the seat of American democracy, it’s not.”

“Just imagine if Fox hosts could muster, for an armed attack on the Capitol, the same outrage that they did for their Christmas tree. Perhaps some of the almost half of Republicans who think Jan. 6 was a legitimate protest might actually see it for what it really was.”

No truer words ever spoken.  OH ,    and that Loser Dana Perino - I think that's her name - said that they were going to rebuild the Tree - That they were going to "build it back better than it Was " - now where have I heard that phrase before ?!?!?

Here - you can watch it on your own,..

How about this.....

 And mind you I borrowed some of this content from around the Inter-web...

A) We should stop the debate over Gun ownership and Control. The NRA is too powerful a lobby, and have too much money that influences Law Makers.  We can discuss the whole 2nd amendment thing,, and the "Right to bear arms" and everyone forgetting that it is attached to the Phrase "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."  

B) The GOP will continue to frighten the people with the threat that Left is  "coming to take their guns",,, no matter what regulation is proposed. 

C) lets do this,,,, 

- You can own as many guns as you wish ..

- Decorate your house with them

- Make a Christmas Wreath with them if thats what you want to do

- Have an arsenal of your very own..

however: "With great power there must also come great responsibility" 

- ALL GUNS ARE REGISTERED . Long Rifles, Handguns , ALL GUNS.

- The Guns you own are registered to YOU.

- YOU are 100% responsible for whatever that gun is used for. If it is used in a Killing = YOU own that . If your Toddler gets it and accidentally kills/injures someone - YOU own that . IF it is used by another person in hunting accident- YOU own that . What ever the F that guns does - YOU own that . 

I believe in this way - we that own guns will make sure that they are safely stored, chambers are clear when  they are suppose to be. If they are lost or stolen or Sold - that will immediately reported and ownership transferred or that gun  listed as NOT in owners control. 

Cause right now and after every one of these incidents - 

-It seems that we gun owners value our right to  own guns over  human life.  

- That our  "Right to bear arms " is being defended by School Children. 

Again & Again

 SO - Once again - "Thoughts  and Prayers" - "Thoughts  and Prayers"  - "Thoughts  and Prayers" ..

Yea - yea ,, yea..... There will be no action for one reason and one reason only. 

THE NRA  (supporting the Gun Lobby)  before you jump to conclusions - I am a member of the NRA , I have a Concealed Carry Permit, I Own a handgun.....

But here we are - another person - in this case a student - bringing a gun to school,, Killing 3 people and wounding 6 others... and while they look for a specific motive..... Look at the over all issue.... That this country - of all the Nations on the has this issue,... Not  one other industrialized Country has this killing go on  and on and on,..... the Law makers refuse to act to employ the simplest of controls... because they - Mostly Republicans - take money from the NRA.  The Congress and Legislature take no action,,, After the Murders- they say "now is not the time to discuss this issue" and wait for it to go away - which it will with next weeks news.... and Will only go on and on for those families that had a child - Their CHILD - Killed at school or Wounded in one of these attacks.  

Remember those lawmakers that are so concerned with HUMAN LIFE that they enacted strict abortion laws in Texas,,, and other states are looking to follow..  Well - I suppose they are only concerned with the life of the Unborn - as George Carlin mused - ONCE you are born FUCK you  ! They don't wanna hear from you !  No concern of education, Of food, shelter, a Working wage , Health Care - Nothing FUCK YOU !   Only concern is to limit a womans' right to Do with her body as SHE wishes !  OH and don't get me started with ALL you my Body , My Choice Assholes !  That only extends to what YOU stinking decide it extends to,...... ASSHOLE ! 

SO - Go watch the heartbreaking videos of Kids running for their Lives from that school...  The  Video of the Kids,,,, NOT being fooled by the Shooter saying he was a Sheriff - and to let him into the Class  Room,,,, The one child having the clarity of thought - that hearing the word "BRO" - he knew immediately that it was Red FLAG - that a Sheriff would not use that word... and the Bravery of the two students/children that opened the window and held the Window blinds back and their friends escaped the KILLER that was just on the other side of a door ! WOW .  

Imagine yourself driving to the School your child is at - Knowing that there is/was an active shooter situation,, that some are killed,, some are wounded,,,, and is it your Child,,, your Childs friends ???  think about that...   

Look at this chart as you listen once again to all the reasons - except for lack of Gun Control  - that this happens in THIS COUNTRY.

10 days late

 I do not do this stuff ,,, but I wanted to do this.........

So - 10 days late - here it is..

I simply can't

 So - I try to get several perspectives on the news,,, I really do.

SO- I tune over to the FAKE (fox) news network to get their take on the Guilty verdicts that were handed down yesterday.... 

THEY are talking Gas prices. their expert spokesperson says that IF Biden would just reopen the Key Stone pipe line the oil prices would bust. Yep the country would  then have a glut of OIL and gas prices would there-by fall.... 

Ok - I do not know how many times this needs to be said - THE President of the US has Nothing, Zilch, Zero, Nada to do with gas prices !! They could not directly affect it one way or the other !!! So - can we please STOP this BULLSHIT !!!

In addition - If you did not know - the Keystone pipeline delivered Tar Sand from Canada to the Gulf refineries .... Tar sand is too expensive to refine into gasoline,,, so it's used for what you would think of as "thicker " oil products. So ten Keystone pipelines would have NO effect on Gas prices or supply ! Add to that - what Biden signed on his 1st day in office was revoking permits that allowed a pipeline to run across Indian land - Reservations and National/State parks...  

then there is this,,,  Former POTUS the DUMP said that he filled the Emergency oil reserves  that it was depleted - WRONG - LIE -  geez ,  go Google it for christ sakes.....   The Reserves were the highest under the Obama administration.... Now  -it may be an error to release 50 million barrels from our reserve. and BTW many other countries are doing the same ,,,, this oil and once refines gas will be sold on the open market.... NOT just going to US supply.. So that may change the Supply - BUT not the Price  -  I think this is an error as we do not have a supply issue - OPEC  essentially controls the worlds supply has been asked to increase production,,,, but has not yet taken any action... and OH - Dump was the one a few years  go that negotiated with the Terrorist nations that run OPEC to get them to increase production,, after he promised them $$$$$$$  ...... 

As a Side note - Those who think BIG Pharma is making billions on this Vaccine - and thats why they are not getting vaccinated  - "I'm Not supporting BIG PHARMA" they are making Billions on the American people !!!  These folks have no issue with BIG OIL cleaning up on these gas increases....

Here is Exxon/Mobil stock chart for a year - and yes we own some XOM Stock...

and Earning and dividends are also up !

So - Maybe you should stop driving your car and show those Oil companies what you will/will not do !

Have a great Thanksgiving !!

Lincoln

 This quote is  not from Abraham Lincoln: but has been attributed to him

it is from Jekin Lloyd Jones

"No outside foe can ever denude this country, however much they may wish to storm our shores with shells or sink our battleships," he wrote. "Nations do not die from invasion, they die from internal rottenness."

This is a Quote by him.... but may have not been spoken directly in this form/

"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

I think we are seeing BOTH things happening....

We have several crisis threatening us and our way of life,,,  now it may or may not come to be in my time ,, but most certainly in my childrens time..

- Political upheaval - coming from within. If the Former President / Treasonist is reelected in 2024 it will be escalated to the point of Destroying the Democracy while promoting and embedding his person interests. Even if he is not - you need to remember that the Silence of the people that should be speaking out against the insanity of what is going on will be the Reson that the Democracy FAILS.  MLK said it best. History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.

What should scare the shit out of you is that there were actually near 1000 people in Dallas  / Daley Plaze (where JFK was killed) that fully expected to see his son John Jr - who dies in a  plane crash in 1999 - these people expected that he was to reveal that he was NOT Dead , but working behind the Scenes helping Former Prez Dump . and was the be his running mate in 2024.... Let that sink in....

- Climate Crisis  - If we do not address global warming there will be MAJOR changes to the Earth that will not be reversible in the near future. We cannot continue to take and take and impact the Climate without consequence.  Rising Temperatures and melting Ice caps WILL destroy species and Land masses ...
