Friday…Faults, Fineries, and All

 - I don’t know if boycott is the proper word…but I just won’t spend my money on products who’s parent companies invest and promote activities I believe are contrary to the safety of our nation. Sometimes it just can’t be helped, but for the most part if a) a company’s donations are against my grain, I don’t buy their products and b) a company’s business practices are just stupid.

- Read somewhere Disney is coming out with an animated movie about a transgender whale. It’s called Maybe Dick

- There is an off cycle election on May 6.  There are absolutely no issues affecting the voters of Midland County, Tx, something pretty unique I believe. 

- Paul Harvey (I think) coined the phrase self government will not work without self discipline.  We are seeing he was 100% correct now. I’d suggest a modification to his words, though: self government no longer works without accountability. 

Far too many ‘investigations’ are redundant, are always political hit jobs, expensive, and result in nothing; said investigations use the words of an admittedly biased media or the words of well documented liars as a basis; the notion of due process is illegally set aside if the subjects of investigations are of a particular party. This is not justice, this is not beneficial to we the people, this is not what our government was designed to do.

Another idiotic matter is progressives willfully and knowingly attempting to bypass the idiot proof concept of separation of powers. When a party, not congress but a political party, demands a member of a different branch to ‘testify’ the system is destroyed.  Schumer (Dumbshit, NY) demanding members of SCOTUS to appear is probably a constitutional violation, definitely a violation of the intent.

- We’ve all seen the you might be a Texan, you might be a redneck things…I’ll add a few local ones, applicable to the Permian Basin: you might live in west Texas if you keep a shoe in every room to smoosh big bugs…if you ALWAYS watch for snakes outside…if your HVAC is set to off, then heat, then AC, then off again, then heat, all in the same day…if when you pray for rain, you also pray not too much…if you can’t drive more than 2 miles without hitting a construction zone…if your late night trips on the way home have 2 stops, one for burritos regardless of price one for cigs at the cheapest place to find em

-As you may know, we had to put down the oldest cat the other day. Wednesday, we got a card from the vet, signed by everyone on staff expressing their sympathies. Thanks to the staff at Legacy Animal Emergency clinic in Midland.  

- An actual question asked of me while I was teaching: what day is cinco de mayo?  Mind you I was the in school suspension teacher, and this was one of the dumber kids I had to deal with

- The old school communist Bernie Sanders (S-Russia) wants the US to TAKE all money over $999 million. If enacted, who would bankroll democrat candidates?  Actually, it’s not anyone’s business how much money someone has, it’s only relevant when monies were obtained through illegal means.  How Bernie, how about you drive you Lamborghini, live in one of you 3 mansions, but more importantly STFU.

- In a bold move to combat atrocious recruiting, the US Navy has employed  a drag Queen as spokesman.  This pretty well cements the USN as having the dumbest leadership of any armed forces since Vietnam
