Wednesday

 - Legitimate question: how is it possible for person A to say or do something considered criminal, and when person B says or does the exact same thing it’s considered campaigning or some veiled freedom of speech?  Seems to me exactly every ‘journalist’ in the nation publishes something meant to sway public opinion enough to affect an election outcome; people slamming real or potential political opponents from behind an official government seal is attempting to affect an election outcome; every organizer of so called mass protests or riots is attempting to alter the way we the people vote; ballot harvesting and disqualification of a certain bloc of voters occur every election cycle.

So what exactly is the difference?  My gut tells me intent is they key…but how does one prove intent?  So much of this nonsense could be IMO by simply obeying the laws, and disqualification of anyone with a party’s structure from being anywhere near the counting process.

- Mental exercise: to test your freedom of speech, use the verboten ‘n word’ anywhere in a public forum…then use honky, cracker, white ass, or any similar description of whites.  Refer to anyone in American history that supported ceding from the Union in the 1860s without a connection to systemic racism. Describe a criminal suspect with any mention of his skin color. Speak positively of one Donald Trump, Ron deSantis, or any national republican figure.  Can’t do it, can ya? 

- There are three main roads heading east/west in the near downtown Midland area.  We live on the east bound one way…the westbound one way has been under construction for 18 months (still going on). In the meantime the lions share of traffic runs on Wall St, a 2 lane road that bears close resemblance to a tank trail in that there are more holes, cracks, buckles, and such than there is actual road. Now, most of the side streets connecting the three are under construction as well.  Somewhere there is a group of people who think this all was a good plan.

- I don’t mind getting my feelings hurt by the government…I do mind having my finances gutted, my freedoms of consumer choice restricted, and my faith in the system being applied equally shattered for good.

- Couple years back went to the wedding of an optometrist and his high school sweetheart. The preacher said “do you, David, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, for better or worse…better or worse…better or worse…”

- One thing that rankles me is how elected officials are seen as experts…on anything. They are not, they are nothing more than politicians who say what focus groups and advisors tell them to say. Whenever some elected person tries to tell us how economics work, how parents should surrender their omnipotent authority over their children, tell us how much we must spend on idiotic wars and acts of tolerance that cost billions, We the people should just ignore them and do what we can to refute their foolishness 

- Still not sure how Georgia DA was able to post online the latest so called Trump indictment before the grand jury had even voted on it…but hey, Trump has exactly ZERO rights in juris prudence m so anything is game. Being deeply cynical I’m waiting for the FBI, Antifa, or some other governor terror group to have a Waco wherever he may be next.

- And yes…I’m still waiting for ONE example of hyper progressive or woke policy that was a benefit to the entire citizenry…just one. 

- Note: I’ll be away from these pages until Monday…gig schedules. Thanks
