"We Were Here First!"- The Sunday Collage

 (On a request by A86, I have returned the blog to it's original background colors. I am still screwing around with the header thing a ma jig. So that might change)

I have always been fascinated by the "we were here first" argument. I have been hearing that argument made in one form or another, my entire life. 

The popular television series "Yellowstone" was based on the premise that a ranch which had been homesteaded long ago, was under siege by airports and developers. Thus, our protagonists are the Duttons' versus the antagonists- greedy out of state development interests. 

Imagine sitting around your teepee in the 1850's and watching white European settlers' stream in and take giant tracts of land, land that you used to freely roam around on and hunt. Of course you are angry. However, you are essentially powerless. You can't communicate your concerns; you are facing overwhelming numbers and advanced weaponry. You can fight but you will be at a disadvantage. In the end, you are going to lose your land and your way of life.

That is what happened to the American Indian. They were here first but as it turns out, that argument fell on unsympathetic ears. 

So we have "reservations" now. Large tracts of land inhabited by native Americans. This is where we put the Indians after the Indian wars were over. Are the Indians still pissed some 150 years later?

Oh yea. Last year, I was on the Pine Ridge Reservation at Wounded Knee and I tried to ask a tribal cop a few questions about a ceremony going on at the cemetery. Not only would he not look at me or answer my questions, he told me he had things to do. As I departed, I noted that he did not move at all.

Which brings me to the latest, "we were here first" argument.

Here in my little town in Southern Utah- we have another evolving "we were here first" saga going on between four surrounding subdivisions and a gravel pit or mining operation right smack dab in the middle. The gravel pit and it's owners are seeking a special designation which would essentially protect their operations from interference by local governments. They would be free to strip sand and gravel from their 177 acres and at some futuristic point- turn the whole site into a subdivision.

The problem for them is that they are surrounded by four subdivisions of people who don't particularly care to be subject to back up alarms, rock crushers, dust and debris, and crumbling roads. Never mind that the gravel pit will destroy the terrain and hills- the landscape itself seems to be some secondary concern not even worth mentioning.

The city in which this gravel pit operates in is governed by relatives of the owners of the mining operation. Where I come from, we call that the "good ol boys" and from every early indication- it appears that the gravel pit operators and the good ol boys have the upper hand. 

Remember, townsfolk aren't asking them to stop their operations. We are simply asking the city not to grant them a special designation that will allow them to operate with little or no oversight.

So a clash between the gravel miners and the surrounding homeowners is developing. The homeowners are attending the planning and zoning meetings, council meetings, and they are arming themselves with lawyers. That is how we do battle in the 21st century. 

So, it remains to be seen how this will end. I don't think anyone will be asking native Americans for their advice.

Being Authentic

 Many years ago, I worked with a deputy who I really didn't care for at first. He was gruff, jaded, and tough. He had been on a riverboat gunship in Vietnam. Prior to that he had killed a kid towing irrigation pipe on an unlit trailer near his hometown. Despite all that, Eugene became a deputy sheriff.

The first few times that Eugene and I squared off- things didn't go very well. Eventually, we had a conversation where I asked him, "You don't like me very much, do you?"

At that moment he stared back at me and said, "no I don't." He explained that I was a smart ass and a know it all who didn't know shit. I think he even called me a punk.

I listened to what he had to say. Therein lies the secret to our friendship which lasted until the day he died.

He told me the truth. His truth. What I did with that was up to me.

What I did do was evaluate all the things that I had said to him, about him, and the way I had treated him.

I looked for understanding. I realized he was right and as gruff as he was, he helped me grow up. It was the greatest gift anyone ever did for me. But I think he was smart enough to know that I might actually evaluate what he had to say.

From that point on, I worked hard to be a better person. I learned to value honesty and the truth. The truth has great value and it works in the long run.

Being authentic or having integrity is absolutely essential. If you don't have that, you have nothing. Your relationships are all superficial and shallow, Animosity and bad feelings begin to grow. People do not trust folks because they aren't sure whether they are telling the truth or not. Once your credibility is shot, people no longer seek you out for friendly activities or advice.

It is one of the biggest choices you will ever make. People respect the truth. Anything less will not work.

I felt a great deal of remorse when Eugene passed away. He was one of the few people who told the truth no matter what the situation was or who might leave with hurt feelings. It took me many years to understand that Eugene had made a decision sometime in his life. A conscious decision. One of the very few people with the courage to make the correct decision knowing people would find it unpleasant.

Choose wisely.

 

Back in the Saddle!

 Man, I am afraid to turn my computer off.

A few months ago, I lost my sign in information, my email, and my password. I tried several times to get back into Frankenstein Government. No luck.

This morning, I tried once again. I dredged up an old email, password, went thru a bunch of Google nonsense and voila!

In the past 10 or 15 years, I have used some form of Atkin's Diet to lose weight fast. I am currently doing the same thing. At day 41, I have only lost 24 pounds. Some 15 years ago, I lost 31 pounds in 41 days. I documented it here.

The worst part about my keto dieting is that I have never been more disciplined than I have this past 6 weeks. I have not consumed more than 10 carbs in any day. 

I am left with only one explanation for my shortcomings. Metabolism. 

So I am going to keep on trucking and trust the process. This time I am willing to go 62 days and praying to lose a total of 34 pounds. 

After I found my way back into the blog this morning, I started reading some of my old stuff. Some of it was pretty good. 

I think the Obama years fucked me up. He was such a sneaky prick that I think I lost hope. By the time Trump got in- Obama had sabotaged his presidency so thoroughly that it was one bad thing after another. If that wasn't bad enough, the election steal happened in 2020 and ushered in the drooling idiot who truly screwed up everything he touched.

I cannot think of one good thing Biden accomplished.

Anyway, I'm glad to be back in. I'm going to try and write like the old days. I have never been more hopeful than I am now- seeing Trump hit the ground running and listening to the libtards and dramacrats howling like babies.

That is the sound of winning!

Justice Comes on Swift Wings

There is a giant swath of folks in this country who simply cannot believe what is happening. They cannot believe that a "convicted felon" is our President. They have been so cleverly indoctrinated by colleges, media, and their like minded friends- that they simply cannot self examine. They cannot ask the question of themselves, "maybe I'm wrong." They are so ego invested in being right, so smug and superior, that all that is left for them as they lose- is to ridicule their perceived enemies.

I knew President Trump would win last fall. I knew it when I drove around Montana's most democratic city and observed Trump signs in many yards. I had never seen this.

People have had enough. 

We just lived through the worst four years in our country's history. They invented, then lied, about the origins of covid. They killed millions weaponizing a virus carried by horseshoe bats in China. 

The liberals stole an election and covered it up. They forced people to take unproven vaccines. They fired people who were simply exercising their rights not to be guinea pigs. Fear driven liberals closed the private sector down. They want on a free money binge that ignited the worst inflation since the '70s. They suppressed and censored free speech and alternative treatment methods. They got people killed in Afghanistan and stoked the fires of war in the Ukraine with 100's of billions of dollars. While Rome was burning, they then set their sights on defaming and discrediting former President Trump through our court system which is littered with Obama appointees.

There are three problems that the left never counted on. President Trump has "fuck you" money. He has the where with all to fight it out in the courts. President Trump is a terminator. He does not quit. Knock this guy down 15 times and he gets up 16 times. He has proven this over and over again.

The left counted on us to believe. We were supposed to believe their election lies. That the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. We were supposed to believe "51 experts" when we knew they were full of shit. We were supposed to believe all those liberal prosecutors and judges and those doctored charges. We were supposed to believe a search warrant at Mara Lago was necessary.

What do invading armies do first? They knock out communications.

Thus, the single biggest problem that the liberals never counted on, was a change of ownership at Twitter. They had control of that communication platform as well as Facebook. When Elon Musk bought Twitter- it was all over for the Obama regime and his minions. I don't think I understood at the time just how important that event was.

It was a true watershed moment. It changed the course of American history. Free speech returned. Elon Musk fired three quarters of the staff and suspended accounts were restored. The deep state government, who had controlled speech on the platform mostly through the FBI, were discovered and kicked out.

So justice comes on swift wings. The old criminal, the one who should have been prosecuted, pardoned a few thousand convicts and his family on the way out. 

The porous border was once again shut down. Illegal aliens are being deported. The J6 crowd, mostly a bunch of trespassers, have been pardoned from their years' long confinement. Government workers were told to return to work, offered buyouts, and eventually will be terminated. The FBI agents that conjured up charges and served search warrants on President Trump have been fired. All the DEI hires of Biden are being eliminated. Tom Homan is deporting thousands of criminals. Elon Musk is finding billions in waste and fraud. Military personnel refusing the jab are being offered their jobs back with back pay.

So the reckoning is here.

 

"Headless Body Found in Topless Bar"- The Sunday Collage

This was an actual headline found in the NY Post, circa 1983. The author of that headline died recently.

I chuckled the first time I read it. I thought it was a perfect metaphor for the leaderless group exercise we have been enduring ever since the Dems installed their old, white, version of Obama. Obama lite.

So, after listening to the Dems wail that "no one is above the law" as they apply the law to President Trump, we find that Joe Biden who promised never to pardon his son ad nauseum...

Pardoned his son. For 11 years' worth of crimes. Apparently, this is a "blank check" pardon wherein you cannot charge, poor picked on Hunter, for anything he may have done for 11 years.

There are quite literally millions of people sitting in our prisons who have committed lesser crimes than Hunter.

It isn't just the drugs, or the hookers, or the embezzled payola from Burisma, or the tax evasion in the millions, or the 195 suspicious activity reports that banks filed on behalf of the Biden crime family. The Bidens are rotten to the core. This would include pictures of Hunter Biden with his naked 14 year old niece. Sleeping with his dead brother's wife. Or that abandoned and disavowed baby daughter sired by Hunter.

These Bidens are some horrible people. The shoppers at WalMart can hold their heads high.

Obama lite, was picked by Obama as a running mate. Let's not forget that. 

What a fantastic four years this has been. As crazy as it sounds, without this criminal idiot in the White House, we would never have known how bad things could get. Transvestite cabinet members. Unqualified gay men running departments. Dead servicemen. Wars. Targeted attacks on Trump supporters by the media. FEMA deciding who it would not help based on Trump signage. Trillions of dollars spent and wasted causing the greatest inflation in 50 years. It's just been a slow moving trainwreck from start to finish.

So we needed those 4 years. We needed to see just how bad this government could get. And boy, did we find out. It has set the stage for a real reckoning.

I think the metaphor comes into focus here. If the government represents our topless bar these last four years, it's pretty obvious who the headless body is.

9 Million Counterfeit Ballots- The Sunday Collage

 Earlier this week, graphs started popping up on X and other places. Most of those graphs showed the steep and dramatic increase in popular votes that occurred in 2020 and compared the elections of 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 for context.

Beyond any doubt, democrat or republican, the popular vote totals for Biden in 2020 were astronomical. Many charts reflected raw data as it stood on Wednesday and Thursday. Some showed a difference of as many as 18 million ballots cast for democrats compared to previous elections and 2024. Those early charts did not take into account that California was still counting. Counting votes in California is apparently a Herculean task unlike Florida who had their votes counted in a few hours after the polls closed. Thus we are left with the rusty machinery that counts votes in California by either necessity or design. California still had at least 8 million votes to count and Arizona still hadn't finished counting either. By extrapolating what's left to count, and being overly generous to Kamala Harris, I landed on a popular vote count of 71 million for her. I think that will be pretty close. I see the total popular vote around 145 million and I threw in an extra million for all of the other states.

I am going to change the numbers as they come in.

This is a minimum difference of 9 million votes- 9 million less than President Biden received in 2020. The vote total for Biden was so ridiculously excessive, that it's hard to reconcile. I looked at charts taken from Wikipedia, CNN, and historic national vote counts. What's even crazier is that Biden garnered 12 million more votes than Obama did in his first election cycle. Had Trump's numbers gone down in the 2020 election it might have made sense. But Trump was up another 12 million in that 2020 cycle. 

So we are left with two possibilities. Joe Biden was either the most popular Presidential candidate ever in an election where the GOP nominee was also very popular- or people cheated. 

Here are the raw numbers: Popular vote count.

2024 Trump: 70.9M (Current as of Thursday, Nov 7) 2024 Harris: 65.8M (Harris is still gaining in California's glacial vote counting efforts) 2020 Trump: 74.2M 2020 Biden: 81.2M 2016 Trump: 62.9M 2016 Clinton: 65.8M 2012 Obama: 62.6M 2012 Romney: 59.1M

2008 Obama: 69.4M    2008 McCain: 59.9M

The one certain thing I found when reading liberal and conservative posters on X is that each side tried to rig the numbers and thus the graphs. The liberal posters tried to make the numbers look better- the conservative posters tried to enlarge the disparity.

The one thing we can all agree on- is that somehow Biden managed to get 9 million more votes than in any election before or after. Where did all those votes come from and where did they land?

Rigging the Swing States

An exact and much more precise methodology for determining where those extra million votes cast could be accomplished by doing a state by state popular vote count. This is more work than I want to do and I think it would show what we all suspect. That when we all went to bed with Trump leading Biden in virtually all of the swing states in 2020, Biden somehow miraculously reversed every vote tally by the next morning. 

I think we can assume that the folks that rigged that election knew where to deploy those 9 million extra ballots. Those extra ballots went to Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona. Perhaps some landed in Nevada. The swing states. You certainly wouldn't waste your efforts in states that you were already going to win like New York and California. So you want to deploy those ballots in a fashion that seems plausible and doesn't draw extra attention. A million or so in each state.

So where do you get the ballots? 

This is not hard. You can harvest them in apartment complexes and vacant addresses or from people who will never vote. But more likely, you can simply counterfeit a ballot once it has been printed. This is not serialized currency we are talking about. Printing 9 million extra ballots would not be that difficult. But it will take manpower to fill them out and deliver them where they are needed. Once you know the vote count Trump was getting in each state, you would just drop a greater number of fraudulent ballots in places like Atlanta, Philadelphia, or Detroit- taking care not to drop too many. That's why places like Georgia had Biden winning by 12,000 or so. Trump won Georgia before Biden and after Biden.

A network of people were undoubtedly responsible for this. You would need to collaborate and coordinate, transporting falsified ballots where they were needed. The 350 million dollars that Mark Zuckerberg donated would take care of the costs.

It is absolutely deplorable what occurred in 2020 and while that is bad enough- any attempts to investigate that sham election were blocked and ridiculed. No investigation, forensic or otherwise, would ever take place because the winning side would never allow it. The Commander in Chief, responsible for all things law enforcement, was not about to authorize anything that would undermine his election. So, we were stuck with an old criminal politician who was ineffective his entire political career and predictably- we got more of the same. 

On an interview with CNN's Dana Bash, Jim Jordan pointed out that 2.5 million unsigned ballots were illegally counted in Pennsylvania in the 2020 election. Counting unsigned ballots is illegal.

In an absolutely laughable CBS "60 Minutes" segment airing on Nov 3, the show brought on several election officials (Georgia, I think) attesting to the accuracy of the balloting. It was clearly the typical government propaganda piece that "60 Minutes" has been putting out. Remember, because of covid, absentee balloting was at an all time high. People could simply fill out ballots and drop them in boxes. No voter ID. Unmanned. No real rules. Could I counterfeit ballots, fill them out and drop them in an unmanned box? Sure. Will 60 Minutes ever mention this was possible? No. They are very well equipped to hear one side of a story and report it as "fact" while neglecting to hear the other side of the story. This lack of equal side reporting is one of the reasons CBS has lost credibility.

The Fallout

We all felt the same way that Wednesday morning in 2020. We knew what we had seen. Was it possible for Biden to reverse course and win a swing state or two? Sure. But all six of them? No way.

Media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, blocked any rational discussion of the sham election and actually deplatformed people. Mainstream media offered only their liberal spin and obstructed and ridiculed anyone who questioned the election outcome. Our country was so confused and distracted, that we could not agree on a path forward. Then January 6 happened.

January 6 was a demonstration. It was populated with people that believed the election had been ripped off. Undoubtedly, members of the FBI were embedded in the crowd to facilitate criminal trespass and make it far worse than it was. Now that Trump has won- I think we are going to find out the extent of what happened and I think it will provide exoneration and redemption to a good many people.

Trump winning this election will be a complete disaster for the architects of Jan. 6. They are going to be exposed.

Summary

Trump desperately needed to win this election. In an odd way, the democrats probably did us a huge favor in 2020. Not only did they expose their criminal intent, but they enabled a man with nothing to lose- a fresh four years to fix things. Elimination of giant swaths of unnecessary and wasteful spending, lawfare practitioners, and restructuring rogue agencies involved in criminal conduct. 

The J6 crowd will finally get some relief. 

Wars will stop. Prices will come down. But most importantly, we may see a fair election system where only citizens are allowed to vote. Maybe even the timely counting of ballots which places like Arizona and California find impossible.

We were truly standing on the edge of the cliff. Had Harris won this election, I think our country would have taken a swan dive off that cliff. That is not to say we are out of the woods yet. But we are in far better shape than we were a week ago.

Those 9 million fraudulent votes? They are hard to conceal. In my world those excessive votes are called evidence. Like fingerprints, DNA, or cellphone geo tracking- they are there and nearly impossible to explain away. They are fruits of the crime and unlike the fallout immediately after the 2020 election, it will be hard to obstruct and ridicule naysayers into submission. I think in the months to come, the people who believe Biden supporters stole that election may finally be vindicated. Who you going to believe- the media or your lying eyes?

"We're Going to Need More Body Bags!"

 The mass casualty event of November 5 is now complete. A lot of ideas, people, lies, bad opinions, and institutions died on election night. I am overcome with joy. Sometimes we are blessed by the absence of bad people and bad ideas and to remove them often requires a reckoning. We had a reckoning on Tuesday night. 

The first casualty was the democratic party. They have reversed roles with the old Republican Party. They have completely lost their base. The new democrat party is filled with socialistic elites bent on war and destruction. They pander to special interests and to the LGBTQ community. They are fine with men in women's sports and locker rooms. They worship entertainers like Jimmy Kimmel, Orca Winfrey, and Taylor Swift. They engage in identity politics. The democrat party is a party in complete disarray- filled with elites like the Clintons, the Obamas, the Pelosis' and the Bidens- selling our nation out piece by piece and gaining personal wealth. This is not the party of middle class America. This is not the party who protested the Vietnam War, the party who stood for American workers and unions. This party is an abomination. 

The second casualty has to be legacy media to include print media like the NY Times and the Washington Post. Their liberally biased reporting of the news has become nauseating. Although the Fairness Doctrine was killed in equal measure by Reagan and Obama, the media has become so hopelessly jaded and biased, that viewers no longer find them credible. Viewers actually dismiss what they have to say. My disdain for print media is equally divided with television news and news magazines like "60 Minutes."  If I never hear from Peter Muir or Nora O'Donnell ever again, I'll be fine with that.

Pollsters. Good gawd, do they ever get anything right? Days before the election, I was convinced Trump was going to steam roll Kamala. He had Elon Musk and Joe Rogan. He was going to end wars and cut taxes for large swaths of the American public. He had an outstanding platform. He was gaining traction. Yet what did I read? I read how Kamala was "neck and neck" and virtually tied with Trump. I heard it was "too close to call." I heard Kamala would win Iowa. All of this turned out to be bullshit. None of it was accurate. Since the election, I have purchased a nice plot in our city's cemetery for pollsters.

Obama. If Biden was simply an Obama puppet which most of us believe, Obama is now out of puppets. Kamala was going to be Obama's Act IV, and it now appears Gepetto will no longer be pulling the strings. It is time for Obama to sell his DC residence and return to all of those old, rich, white folks up in Martha's Vineyard. I hear he has an opening for a new cook.

Merrick Garland. I cannot think of a worse human being. Architect of the Trump lawfare plan and legal obstructionist and protector of the Biden crime family, I expect Garland to resign or be the first to face Trump's firing squad. I thank God this scheming miscreant was denied a seat on the Supreme Court.

Illegal aliens. One last dash for the border is on tap. If you make it, you may soon be receiving a plane ride back to where you came from. If you are a criminal, and your home country doesn't want you, I suppose they will find a place for you in our swollen prison system. We provide nice accommodations compared to what you received back home.

Electric vehicle mandates by 2035. President Trump has said he will tear that executive order in half on his first day in office.

The expiration of Trump tax cuts. Trump will install new tax cuts.

The end of the Jan 6 witch hunt and horribly stiff sentencing. Pardons are coming.

The View. I have watched this show precisely- twice. I hated it. It is like a birth control ad for normal, functioning men. The Trump hatred and hysteria is palpable as these liberal women all try to outdo one another. Overreacting to molehills. Calling Jan 6- an insurrection. I've seen worse mobs at Target on Black Friday. Buffalo Man is a pacifist.

Election rigging. There is not one doubt in my mind that the 2020 election was stolen. From 2000 Mules to the astronomical vote count- 15 to 20 million more votes than any other election, more votes out of nowhere. Every state Trump lost in that election- he has now won in two elections. Yet the liberals still demand proof. Unfortunately, it was those same liberals who obstructed any investigation or any evidence gathering- and attempted to debunk any intrusion into the idea that all those ballot boxes were stuffed with counterfeit Biden ballots. This time around, not only did GOP poll watchers catch liberal attempts at election rigging but lawyers were on standby. Here's a wonderful and quick overview. https://realrawnews.com/2024/11/hes-back/

Gavin Newsome. One of the great elite socialists of all time, Gavin Newsome is a narcissist and ego maniac. Funded by the Gettys and other elite San Francisco families, Gavin Newsome screwed the pooch in California. He will have four years to dig himself out of a 70 billion dollar hole that included catering to criminals and providing cover for illegal aliens. Undoubtedly and unfortunately, President Trump's policies will help Newsome and the state of California recover. If Newsome can stop the bleeding, I expect to see him in '28. This dude covets power but for now, I am keeping an eye on Zombie Newsome to see whether or not he rises from the dead.

Last and certainly least, Kamala Harris. Harris has been an empty headed Vice President. Her history shows her as a gun grabbing, abortion loving, tax and spend socialist. Her parents lean communist. A professor and research scientist, Kamala's parents hardly qualified as middle class Americans and there is simply no way that Kamala would have stooped to such low levels to become a McDonald's employee. That was a fabrication. That would have been beneath her perceived class. Kamala Harris is a perfect example of someone sleeping her way to the top of Willie Brown's California political machinery. She was Willie's concubine and Willie's wife was seemingly ok with the arrangement. The problem is that even though you manage to crawl to the top of California's legal system- you will still be judged on your character and merit. Her lack of character and merit was her downfall. There was no Willie Brown to save her this time. She was forced to answer questions she could not answer. She was forced to explain her complete lack of a platform or her work product on the southern border. Kamala Harris is a failure on many levels. I do not expect to see her again. She is one and done. The dems would never risk a repeat of this mass casualty event.

We were truly standing on the edge of a cliff. Had Kamala Harris won this election, I am not sure we could have found our way back. It's going to be fun watching the deep state get rooted out, rearranged, and fired after the inauguration.

They are going to need more body bags.
