9-11 was yesterday

Where were you when this happened? I was at work. Little did I know at the time that the employment bliss that I had had for the last 20 years, a wonderful period of my life was coming to an end.
Vermont’s Big Urban Areas
The one by the pond, the west/left coast of blue, blue New England comes to mind.
Vermont has always been held up as one of the safest States in the country.
If you happened to live on a quiet country back road I can certainly attest to that. If you happen to live in certain urban areas of the State it can be a little problematic.
Burlington Vt, after de-funding its police in response to the George Floyd protest riots and the ascension of the”Black Lives Matter” scam is getting a little dangerous.
Of course, depending on your political leanings you view things through rose-colored glasses.
The big west coast cities, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle, have become progressive dystopias filled with lawlessness and crime. It’s what the residents voted for, and they’re getting what they deserve. The video below deals with Seattle, will the Burlington area get as bad? only time will tell.
Arrogance and woke
Is always a deadly combination.
I have a good friend who like me, is an “old white guy”. He holds a similar position as “the old white guy” mentioned in the video. He’s employed by a multinational company and is so respected that he is on a first-name basis with top executives of his company and their customers. He knows his shit, and they listen.
A short while back he had mentioned a company-wide conference call from his VP that dealt with “pride month” and “DEI” diversity, equity, and inclusion. He said he logged on out of curiosity and discovered that very few people in his company had bothered to participate. He didn’t say anything but his boss noticed ‘his’ participation, a few brownie points for the future if he ever has to issue a report that his bosses don’t want to hear.
Memorial day 2023
In a few days, I will be celebrating my seventh decade on planet Earth. I have been blessed with relatively good health, and have much to be thankful for.
It is often said that “all gave some, some gave all”. Since 1776 close to 1.2 million American soldiers never had the privilege of growing old.
It seems that over the decades Memorial Day has become more of a celebration of the beginning of Summer than a somber reflection of the sacrifice American soldiers have made, as I was always taught, to preserve our freedom.
If all of America’s honored dead were granted by a higher power to rise from their eternal sleep for only a day to bear witness to the present state of the country to which they gave “their last full measure of devotion”, what would they think?
I think that they would be appalled!!
America has chosen to die by suicide via the slow poisoning of its roots. And I have lived long enough to witness its beginning in the late sixties to the present day.
” …to these honored dead we take increased devotion…that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth”. Sadly that ship has sailed.
I may have lived in the last era of real American freedom. I’m glad I’m old.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day and remember those who never grew old.
John Lennon’s Birthday
October 9th 2021…John Lennon, if he still lived, would be 81 today.
Lennon stated: “‘Imagine’, which says: ‘Imagine that there was no more religion, no more country, no more politics,’ is virtually the Communist Manifesto, even though I’m not particularly a Communist and I do not belong to any movement.” He told NME: “There is no real Communist state in the world; you must realize that.”
Because real Communism(socialism) has never been tried…right?
Happy Birthday John Lenin…I mean Lennon.
Memorial Day 2021
“…that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the that cause for which they here gave gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolvethat these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” A. Lincoln
The Known.
And the Unknown
They died to protect our freedoms but sadly too many Americans seem hell bent on throwing it all away. And even worse, aided and abetted by our own armed forces
Excerpt of A.Lincoln’s Lyceum address 1838
–-At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?– Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!–All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
I fear dark time are ahead. I’m glad I’m old and likely will not live to see the worse. I pray my children will make it through.
What the “EXPERTS” at NOAA predicted.
“With La Nina well established and expected to persist through the upcoming 2020 winter season, we anticipate the typical, cooler, wetter North, and warmer, drier South, as the most likely outcome of winter weather that the U.S. will experience this year,” said Mike Halpert, deputy director of NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center.
The greatest chances for warmer-than-normal conditions extend across the Southern tier of the U.S. from the Southwest, across the Gulf states and into the Southeast. More modest probabilities for warmer temperatures are forecast in the southern parts of the west coast, and from the Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast. Above-average temperatures are also favored for Hawaii and western and northern Alaska.
Meanwhile deep in the heart of Texas.
Warning, this link is to Buzzfeed. Even the Libs are shocked.
And now a word from Ace Highflyer
Funny how twitter cancels only conservatives. There is a flood of “Hate Rush” tweets right now, and funny, NONE are removed or even have the disclaimer.
This one commenter had it right:
Rush Limbaugh spent his life exposing Democrats for who and what they are and that exposé continues even after his death.
Ace Highflyer
Hate is the only emotion that leftist, Marxist, and Democrats (but I repeat myself) have that gives them any reason to exist. It’s a drug that they have to shoot up everyday.
