Sports fans versus voters

 I am a casual sports fan.  Living in one of the “Boston States” I root for the Patriots (fall) and the Red Sox (spring and summer).  Should either team make the Super Bowl or the World Series I will watch the games.  There is no way that I will ever root for the New York Yankees. 

   We also have a lot of voters who vote the same way.  They will vote for their party no matter what.  And they would never vote for that other party, no matter what.   

   For sports fans, it doesn’t matter much.  Rooting for one team or the other doesn’t affect anything important.

For voters, this attitude is destructive of our democracy.  We vote in crooks and dimwits, and fail to vote for decent intelligent public spirited candidates. 

   To be a patriotic voter you have to do a little homework, such as who is running and what have they done in the past that is honorable, or dishonorable.  You want to vote for the good guys and vote against the bad guys.  In this day and age of the Internet the home work is easy to do.   Google will tell you who is running, nationally and for state office, and give you the candidate’s history and voting record. 

   There is a crucial midterm election coming up in about three weeks.  The current Democrat administration is a bunch of weak and elderly men and is driving America into the ground.  We need to vote them out.  Vote in some decent people who might be able to pull the country up before all that is left is a smoking crater. 

Meet and Greet for Don Bolduc, Republican candidate for US Senate.

 I went last night.  Decent turnout, the drive way was mostly parked up, call it 50 cars.  Large fine house, full of voters.  Bolduc spoke, without notes, for an hour.  He used real English that made sense, unlike the pabulum speak we hear from so many in the DC swamp.  He definitely will make a better Senator for us in New Hampshire than Maggie Hassan, the Democrat incumbent, who has done little to nothing over the last 6 years, except for just once she voted AGAINT the Keystone XL pipeline.  Which is destructive for New Hampshire.  We all have to heat our houses all winter.  Keystone XL would bring economical crude oil from a friendly neighboring country (Canada) down to US refineries, where it would be refined into gasoline and heating oil. 

  I will vote for Bolduc,  I made a contribution to his campaign last night. 

Things Democrats have brought us

1. $5 a gallon gasoline.  It has dropped off a bit from $5 but not enough to matter much.
2. Attempts to renew the “assault weapons” ban.  Since there are no real differences between “assault weapons” and deer rifles, this law will ban all rifles.  Which is perfectly OK with the gun control freaks.
3. 9.5 % inflation.  Your dollars are worth 9.5% less in buying power than a year ago.  Democrats do this by printing a lot of money.
4. The Afghanistan debacle.  We pulled out of Afghanistan turning the country over to the Taliban and leaving billions of dollars worth of good American weapons to Islamic terrorists.  And we left a lot of our own people behind. We had Afghani’s clinging to USAF transports and falling to their deaths when the plane took off.
5. Lack of baby formula in store.  For that matter a lot of empty shelves for all sorts of common products like bacon.
6. Kamala Harris for vice president.  If anything happens to Biden, impeachment, heart attack, Covid 19, falling off bicycles, falling down the boarding stairs from Air Force 1, you name it, Kamala becomes president.  By all accounts she is worse than Biden.
7. Opening up the US-Mexican border to anybody who shows up.  Resulting in  floods of fentanyl, Covid 19 cases, and illegal immigrants.
8. Turning the presidency over to Who Runs Biden’s America (WRBA).  They write the executive orders and the speeches on the teleprompter.  Biden signs what is put before him and reads out loud what ever is on the teleprompter.  We have no idea who WRBA is but who ever they are they are running America right into the ground. 
9. Biden pushed a big spending bill thru Congress (The build back badder bill) and will sign it when the Congress approves it.  It will make inflation even worse. 
10. Biden is putting the Armed Forces onto a lefty greenie path, including Critical Race Theory training for the troops and mixed sex bathrooms and mixed sex locker rooms.  There was a scene of this in the movie Starship Troopers.  They are discharging 60,000 regular and National Guard troops who lack Covid 19 vaccination.  The armed services are reporting recruiting shortfalls of as much as 45%. 

 

 

       All real Americans need to vote a straight Republican ticket in the mid term federal elections coming up this November.  Only that will save America from total ruin.

 

Putin and nukes.

Putin has threatened to use nukes on Ukraine.  We do not approve.  The way to prevent Putin from nuking Ukraine is to tell him “If you nuke Ukraine, or anywhere else, we will nuke you back, harder.”  Trouble is, if Biden were to say this who would believe him?  Not I, probably not Putin.  That’s the trouble with electing a weak president.  It weakens the entire country.

We have mid term elections coming up in three-four weeks.  Everybody should get out and vote.  And vote a straight Republican ticket, to prevent more Democrats from serving anywhere.  

Captain America Civil War 2016

It isn’t new, it has been out for six years, but somehow I only saw it last night on a NetFlix DVD.  A meh movie.  The worst soundman ever.  Most of the dialogue was inaudible.  Actors mumbled, turned away from the mike while speaking, and failed to speak up.  Plot was difficult to impossible to understand, all it seemed to produce was a lot of hand to hand fistfights between Tony Stark (Ironman) and Steve Rogers (Captain America).  Since both of them are super powered, neither could get in any solid hits on the other. 

   The movie opens (after some action shots) with a white haired well dressed man from the UN demanding that the Avengers accept UN authority and only beat up UN approved bad guys.  Tony Stark is for it, Steve Rodgers is against it. Neither of them gives reasons for their positions The UN guy lands a 1 inch thick bound book of UN regulations on the table.  Seeing that I though to myself with that much to choose from a lawyer could find paragraphs in there to justify anything he wanted to do.  The movie never gets down to the Avengers taking a vote (or even just a show of hands) as to accepting or rejecting the UN demands.  Instead it moves on to hand to hand combat between Captain America and Ironman.   This goes on and on and on.   I know that both protagonists are super powered and safe from death or injury, the action fails to engage my interest. 

California, the state that says brass castings cause cancer.

 We don't want any California fruitcakes to hold federal offices.

My sincerest sympathy

 To all who have suffered from, and are still suffering from Hurricane Ian.  The images I have seen are horrible.  May God go with you all.
