Wealth is a get out of Jail free Card...

Weath is a get out of Jail Free Card 

You know Paul walczak ???  He recently pled guilty to tax evasion and fraud - after he stole millions from his Nursing home Employees - money that was withheld from their checks to be paid in taxes and Medicare and Social Security in their names ,,,  and he used this money on his lavish lifestyle , included purchasing a $2 million dollar yacht. He was sentenced to 18 months and prison and had to pay restitution to the tune of over $4 million dollars - $4 million to pay back money that was stolen from his employees...... The judge that sentenced his said that this was a message that  "wealth was no get out of Jail free Card " BUT HOLD ON MINUTE  !!!   Paul petitioned the Dumpo administration for a Pardon - and hummm After his Mommy attended a Million Dollar a P late dinner at  home of the Grifter in Chief - Whoosh !!!!    Fat Nixon signs full and unconditional Pardon -  Not only does that mean no Prison time at all - he can keep the Money that he embezzled from his employees - so they - the employees  - are out what ever payments should have been made on their behalves to medicare and Social security - that Judge was WRONG - Wealth is a get out of Jail free Card... 

And not be out done --  Trump is pardoning Scott Jenkins, a former Virginia sheriff who was convicted of making several businessmen sworn law enforcement officers in exchange for cash bribes.

Former Culpeper County Sheriff Jenkins, 53, was found guilty on fraud and bribery charges and sentenced to 10 years in prison in March.  2 undercover  FBI agents got him on taking the bribes.Jenkins was indicted in 2023 on 16 counts. In December, a jury found Jenkins guilty of one count of conspiracy, four counts of honest services fraud and seven counts of bribery.  Federal prosecutors say Jenkins took $75,000 worth of bribes. He allegedly accepted cash and campaign contributions from eight people — including those two undercover FBI agents — and in return, gave them badges and made them auxiliary deputy sheriffs, despite not having any training or vetting. He also allegedly pushed officials to restore one bribe-payer's right to possess a gun as a convicted felon.   BUT - as a huge Supporter of the Orange Jesus's campaign -  he gets Full Pardon - and remember this a just one in a series of Pardons that Dumpo granted clemency to several other public officials. He pardoned Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted of trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat, and Michelle Fiore, a Las Vegas politician and loyal Trump backer convicted of paying for plastic surgery and other personal expenses with money intended to build a statue for a slain police officer.    OH and over a thousand January 6th Convicted criminals - found guilty or  Pled guilty - and I thought we wanted Criminals off the street -    One question - ...  ARE WE GREAT YET ?!?!??

But wait - there's More,,,,Disgraced reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, convicted in a scheme to swindle banks out of tens of millions of dollars, walked free from prison Wednesday after they were pardoned by President Donald Trump, their lawyers said.The pair, known for the show “Chrisley Knows Best,” were headed home to Nashville following their release, law firm Litson PLLC said.The "Trumps of the South," who were unanimously convicted by a jury in 2022 of fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy to defraud the United States, received the pardons after intervention by one of their daughters. Savannah - their daughter is a Big time MAGA supporter, speaking at the Republican National convention and  have included some major players in Rump's orbit, including former federal prosecutor Brett Tolman, who helped win a pardon for Charles Kushner, the father of Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Alex Little, an attorney for the Chrisleys, said in an interview that he did not know why Trump chose to pardon his clients this week.  Yea Nothing to do with their daughter's Podcast in 100% support of Fat Nixon,,,,  nothing to see here --- move along

 I like the dark....   Yea - probably helps that I can't sleep - well don;t sleep except for every 2nd or 3rd night,....  2 nights with say 4 hours sleep total is usually followed by a night of falling off at 8 pm and waking at 5AM - to the sound of  cats purring in my ear or walking across me - signaling that their breakfast is LATE !    I like the night better than the day - "Auto-on"  Night lights better than overhead lights.  the glow of the I-mac screensaver  better than the End Table lamps.    Dunno why - Just do....

Now ...... 

Lets dissect a few comments ,.  Recently from Moscow Mike Johnson - the Speaker of the house that history will show was the king Bootlicker of trumpos ,,  He said of the Bidens. “I’ll say that the reason many people refer to the Bidens as the ‘Biden crime family’ is because they were doing all this stuff behind curtains, but in the back rooms; they were trying to conceal it, .....  “Whatever  President Trump is doing is out in the open, they’re not trying to conceal anything.”

SO - if you are doing things to hide crimes (ok there is no proof of crime but the Republicans are neck deep in the Liar Liar pants on fire pool ) then you are corrupt - BUT BUT - if you are selling access to the Presendency and do it right out in the Open - then it's all legit. 

This is the Speaker of the House ...  and OH yea - a man that is quick to accuse the Democrats - including Biden of Crimes ,,  Johnson had fully supported the lengthy, and ultimately fruitless, impeachment inquiry into Biden but condemned Democrats who sought impeachment of Trump in 2019. It seems the issue is not the act but the man at the center.

A reporter reminded Johnson that there are  shady things happening behind closed doors in the Trump administration too, such as allowing more than 200 wealthy individuals to anonymously buy access to the White House by lining the president’s pockets.  And then the POTUS holding a dinner for the TOP money givers -  Then he said of Dumpos actions - “Look, there are authorities that—police, executive branch, ethics rules—I’m not an expert in that.   OH - NOW you are not an expert in that eh ?!?!?!?   This is how Democratic Republics sink into Authoritarian states and Dictatorships.... 

Then Karoline Levitt - the Whitehouse press Secretary - said that Dumpo was doing this dinner for highest Buyers of Fat Nixon's Meme coin- “Well as you know this question has been raised with the president. I have also addressed the dinner tonight; the president is attending it in his personal time, it is not a White House dinner, it is not taking place here at the White House,”   PERSONAL TIME -!?!?!?! - so is someone else President during those Hours ???  Asking for a Friend.....

The dinner was  held at Trump’s private golf club in northern Virginia on Thursday evening for the top 220 holders of the president’s cryptocurrency—after an auction that brought in $147,586,796.41. The event is being promoted as the “most EXCLUSIVE INVITATION in the world,” according to an email about the event. The top 25 buyers will get an “ultra-exclusive private VIP reception” and “Special VIP Tour” with the president.   THAT's CALLED PLAY FOR PAY kids......   and so much for all the America First and full transparency Bullcrap = All of the donors/guests of this event will be completely anonymous, leading to legitimate questions about corruption and foreign influence, like the one Leavitt refused to answer. Many of the buyers are foreign, as well, based in countries like Singapore and Hong Kong—directly contradicting the “America First” narrative ...

Can't Stop - Won't Stop - Only YOU can prevent Fascism

 I was messaged recently from a very old friend of mine that I was overdoing the Resistance thing - and the Anti - administration Posts...     and the person indicated that I must not be very productive...

I spent nearly 50 years being "Productive" - all of my working life - managing a  Tire and Auto repair center, a Manager in a major computer company - IBM, and then a post working years job  workign for the State of NY at Norrie Point marina ....    I was productive at all these jobs...  NOW in retirement -  I play Pickelball and go to the Recreation Center here in the town, and the County. I go fishing once in a while,,, We go to the Beach ,,, I NO longer feel the NEED to be PRODUCTIVE... 

However;  The only way that I can keep my Sanity when I see and read and hear about what the current administration is doing to the country - the only was to get thru the days is to RESIST!!!   I live in a red state - meaning that most of the people here have Flags and Stickers that support the Orange Jesus - that they believe all the Bullshit that comes out of his mount - although it takes all my strength just to listen to him spew his lies and hatred - that they fly confederate flags in their yards,.. 

SO - my Productivity is to RESIST - 

I believe the difference in these folks is that they not only believe what they believe - they WANT to force YOU and ME to have to believe that also....   I don't like the material in that book or movie or song - and Not only do I not like it - I want to make sure that You can't read it , see it, or hear it .... 

I don't like the History of this country that shows women, minorities,  in a positive light, that describes their history - that BTW is OUR history - That may show the abuses that were laid on these folks by Men - white men - and the solution is to try to delete it , censor it, remove it,  the same with any reference to LGBTQ community - they can't see that these folks just wanna live and love as they see fit - and not fit into the FAKE christianity view that espoused by so Called Christians, Mothers for liberty and other BS groups that only look to take rights away from people.  

So pointing out the utter Bullshit that is what the current admin is - that the GOP leaders will wone day be held accountable for their tyranny to the Country - that their blind fait in Fat Nixon will come back to haunt them - that we will survive these years under the thumb of a Fascist wanna be dictator - that one just one of the so called leaders of the Republican party will say Enough is F-ing ENOUGH and call out publicly the abuses of power and Gright that the Current administration os involved in, and that the ONE voice becomes a starting point fo others to join in the cause .... RESIST ,,,

We are living in days that are at time exhausting

We are living in days that are at time exhausting. 

- Officials in the Administration talking about suspending Habeas Corpus - not for those that they claim are in the US illegally  ,,,, for Everyone you and me,, - suspending it for American Citizens  - If that happens - it is Bunker Time - not sure how we continue to live normal lives after that....  Especially if the Supreeme court goes along for the ride.

- A foreign country  - Qatar  - looking to curry favor with the POTUS - is reported to be giving him a $400 Million dollar gift to use during his presidency and then expanding that as a gift to his  Library after his term is over.   - it is Jet that he would use as Air Force 1 (reportedly to cost $100 million to retrofit to be airfroce 1)  and then after his term would be  his personal plane - Qatar says that the deal is in the talking phase - meaning they are negotiation what they can get from Dumpo for a gift of this magnitude.. and OH -- Surprise!!  Pam Bondi - supposedly the Attorney General -  says that it is lawful (constitution  - what constitution ?) for Dumpo to accpet that gift - listen what could she possibly have to do with Qatar ???  Bondi worked as a foreign lobbyist for the nation of Qatar, earning $115,000 a month in the role which she held in 2020....In this role, she lobbied Congress on behalf of Qatari interests. She also worked in a separate lobbying position for the Washington, D.C.-based firm Ballard Partners, where she also lobbied on behalf of Qatari interests and several conglomerates....  OH well there's that ! 

- RFK wants to create n Autism registry - that should scare the shit outta you....IMHO this plan is simple - 1) he make wild lies about Autism and the causes of Autism.  2)  Starts a study headed by another Conspiracy Theorist and then they can  ban what they is   the Cause of Autism  after just a few month in the study that  others have done Decades of work on it,   3) He Creates the Registry = most Parents say F that - I'm not putting my kid on any Government registry - 4)  RFK then points to the small number of Registered Autism kids- and Whoosh  -  4)  Claims that his bans works !!! 

- Tariffs - where to start - Liberation day - that was what he called it . That is where all his Tariffs bring in enough income to Liberate us - the US citizen - from paying income tax.... except the Math just don't Math. Even Dumpos advisor  Navarro - you remember him, convicted of Contempt of Congress  - said these great Tariffs would generate $600 billion - sounds like a lot of Money - except that we pay $2.1 Trillion dollars in income tax - whoops.... and then Dumpo CAVED  on his big talk about Canada and Mexico -,said he would not negotiate  with them ,  told us how many countries called to negotiate . Balked on those tariffs - but not China - - oh wait yes - China - big tariffs - except on Electronic stuff - TV's Cell Phones, etc....  Big talk about bringing Manufacturing Back to the US... remember that one - yea - NO that ain't happing in - directly after he claimed that Honda was building car plant in the midwest  - they denied any such thing - saying only they could shift product to an existing plant in Indiana.  BTW - The trade agreements that lay out these thing are planned years in advance and some of the ones he says are awful - HE NEGOTIATED - NAFTA- do you remember  ?  and then there is the Tariffs chart - remember when he put tariffs on Islands who's only inhabitant are Penguins !?!?!?   and then announced a Big Beautiful deal with the UK  !! boy we showed them - no more ripping us off with that Trade Deficit !  oh wait - what ?? The trade defict with the UK is actually opposite - that we export more to them then they do to us.... $hit- Damn facts getting in the way again - 


So - At your job,, you create a Giant problem - it affects your company and many of the other Companies around the world.....   You then back out the problem, and things sorts go back to normal - then you

Right after India and Pakistan announced a Ceasefire -  that it looks like is already being violated - 
Dumpo jumped to take credit for it - even though India stated that the agreement was worked out DIRECTLY BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES ... then Little Marco tried following up  with the Statement  "I am pleased to announce the Governments of India and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire and to start talks on a broad set of issues at a neutral site. "

India was quick to make a statement that kinda contradicted  the US statement,,,,and
the statement by Little Marco Rubio..

this is Dumpo 




This from India

The Angle


This stand of trees is known as "The Angle" or some say the "Bloody Angle"  




That is the place that on July 3rd 1863 - Pickett's charge was to breach the Union line.  It is where Lee thought he could break Meade’s forces and thus defeat the Union at Gettysburg.   The plaque there notes the Confederate armies that charged the position from across a mile of open field. A few of Confederate General Armestead’s  men  made it to that point  and were killed or wounded , that spot turned out to be  the Northernmost point any Confederate soldier achieved during the war.  The other 14,000 that stepped out of the woods on the downhill side of Cemetery ridge were either rebuffed, wounded or killed, Armested himself wounded (Monument shows exactly where) on July 3rd. And died in a field hospital on the 5th.   The other pictures are looking down from Cemetery Ridge to the spot where Lee’s statue is today. One pic is zoomed,  the  Other is not.  You can see how far that was across the field and an  uphill battle against superior forces that had more men , cannons, rifles. The tall monument is for Pennsylvania volunteers that defended the position on July 3rd..

Monument where Armstead was Wounded


Monument to the Pennsylvania Division that defended the Angle.. The box is where there is a Statue of Rebert E Lee- and that is the view of where 14,000 Confederate Soldiers began the assault on Cemetery  ridge.  over a mile of Open ground. 



Same picture-  Zoomed in to see Lee's monument. 




Although the war continued for years after Gettysburg, many believe that this defeat signaled the end to the Civil war,,, Lee did not take Gettysburg - his assault on Cemetery ridge was in fact the biggest blunder of his Career -  In less than ONE HOUR - the South incurred 6,555 casualties from Pickett's charge - When Lee told Pickett to rally his division for the defense, Pickett replied, "General Lee, I have no division." - later in life he was quoted as saying  "that Old man got my men killed "    


On July 4th . in a driving rain - Lee's armies began their retreat into Virginia - a 17 mile long train of Wagons of wounded , cannons, and men.
