Ferguson

I just read a report that the cop in Ferguson that killed the black man was really beaten up.  He has among other things a ruptured eye socket.  If this turns out to be the case and he did take a beating from the man he shot, it puts Governor Nixon in a really bad spot because he called for the vigorous prosecution of the cop.  Nixon made it sound like he was already found guilty.  As I have previously stated, I am an independent leaning to democrat.  However, I cannot back Nixon in this mess.  And anyone who tries to appease the thugs at the expense of the cops had better be ready to supply permanent National Guards there because he won't find anyone who will be willing to work as a cop in this area.  I would not.

Ferguson

Most of our citizens cannot comprehend what is happening in Ferguson, Missouri.  Look at it this way.  It is a poor black (why they want to be called blacks, is beyond me) neighborhood.  A thug is killed by a white police officer.  Because law abiding blacks are routinely killed by police in this country, the entire neighborhood is up in arms.  And the mother of this person who was killed is fueling the fire.  The majority of those rioting are the worthless ones.  Many from outside the county and even outside the state.  The citizens don't trust the police and the police don't trust the citizens.  Why?  Because of past history and because of bad cops.  Well, we have bad cops everywhere, but we have to stop and realize that they work for us and the majority of them just want to do their jobs.  We need to make it as easy as possible for them to do that job.  This cop was tried, convicted and hanged without a trial or any evidence presented except the lies of his companion.  Because he was a white cop and he shot a black man, then he is automatically in the wrong, the black man is automatically a saint and they crucify the cop.  However, if the cop had been black, there would not have been the riots and uproar.  Blacks, decent ones, complain because the police won't patrol their neighborhoods, then do not back them when they try to enforce the law.  Blacks complain that there are no businesses in their neighborhood, but when they are angry at the police, they loot and burn those businesses that are there.  Can't have it both ways.  If you want to live in filth, up to you. Police your own neighborhood and when there is a need for police, back them up.  Nothing will change until the community wants it to change.  Cops don't just shoot black kids.  Those are the ones that make the news, though.  As one reporter said, there was another shooting of a Michael Brown not far from Ferguson several years ago.  a bunch of teenagers were up to mischief and a cop tried to pull them over.  The driver, Brown, cut the lights and went into a driveway.  He forgot to put the truck in park.  The cop came up behind it.  The truck started to roll back.  Instead of the cop getting out of the way, he opened fire.  He killed Brown and wounded the two other kids with him.  It was estimated that the truck was moving at about 3 miles per hour, real slow.  The cop was vindicated and nothing happened to him.  And he was in the right as far as the law.  But it was really stupid on his part.  He could have just stepped to the side, waited till the truck stopped and then arrested the boys.  He didn't.  But you did not see any media, no rioting, no demanding that cop's head on a stick.  Why not?  Because the kids were white.  I am tires of the victim card being played.  It is time the black community stepped up and cleaned their house if they expect the rest of the country to take them seriously.  And drop the African-American crap.  They are American citizens.  I would venture none have ever laid eyes on Africa. And what part of Africa are they claiming citizenship?  Africa is a big continent.  Give it up.  Just be grateful you are here.

The mess that is our country

 We have a congress that is owned by special interests and has not and will not do anything to benefit the country.  We have illegals just pouring over our border with Mexico.  And the only thing that congress does is point the finger at the president and accuse him of causing the problem when, in reality, this problem has existed for over 50 years and no congress has made an effort to stop it.  Nor will they.  They will not force enforcement of the immigration laws on businesses.  They will not allow HHS to even verify citizenship before benefits are granted.  And they step all over the states when they try to reign in the mess.  And my property taxes are going up over $200 to pay for the schools we have to provide for them.  That $200 may not seem like much to anyone, but my overall property taxes are, before the increase, almost $4200.  You would think I have an expensive house, right?  Maybe in the neighborhood of $250-500,000?  Not even close.  My house is valued at 189,000.  I will have to see because I can't afford the property taxes and insurance.  And you visit any school in my small town and every one of them is overerun with non-English speaking Hispanic kids.  And none of these kids' families pay a dime in anything.  No income taxes, no medicare taxes, no property taxes.  Nothing.  So it comes out of my pocket.  Where is the fairness in this that a citizen that has paid taxes all her life and now lives on a fixed income has to support Mexico and Central America?  Where is the fairness that illegals get more rights than I do and more benefits?  I can't afford a trip to the dentist for a bad tooth because it will cost over $400.  Yet these kids get the best of care, food stamps, free schooling (free for them, not me), tanf, WIC, and everything else out there that the citizen can be forced to pay for.  At some point, and I am afraid it will be too late, the citizens of this country will take their country back, kick out all the leaches, legal and illegal, and make this country what it once was.  At least, for the sake of the upcoming generations, I hope this happens and soon.  We have stolen from our children and grandchildren and we are letting these thieves into their house and allowing them to steal everything from them.  This is so wrong.  Our citizenship is worth more than this. 

ferguson

I hadn't really been keeping up with the events in Ferguson, Missouri until this weekend.  I find it disgusting.  There is no reason for the looting and rampage that is taking place there.  They want justice so they say.  They are not ready to accept any justice other than the policeman being executed.  They don't want justice, they want revenge and if that evidence points to the fact that Michael Brown did indeed try to overpower the cop, then everyone is lying.   They don't want to become a part of the solution.  They are happy playing the race card whenever they are busted.  After all this is over and all the businesses have left the community, then they will be complaining because there are no shops for them.  They will be griping because no businesses will move into the area.  And they will be playing the "poor black me" card again because we are so isolated.  No one will help us.  They don't want help.  They want to be able to run rough shod over anyone who is not living in the projects and sucking at the federal government for their existence.  And they are always screaming that they are owed because of the fact they were brought over as slaves.  Well, I don't believe that any one of them has ever  been a slave and let's be very honest here.  They don't want to work and be productive members of society and the blacks who do pull themselves out of the mess are called Uncle Toms.  Those who have made it in life are ridiculed by those who don't want to make it unless it is given to them. 

I am also tired of hearing that I owe them.  I damn well do not.  Genocide was practiced against my people and no one ever even mentions that.  It is all about the blacks. 

Case in Texas.  James Byrd was a black man who was dragged to death in Jasper, Texas.  Defense attorney demanded that the trial be moved out of the county because " his defendants could not get a fair trial."  It was moved to Brazos country and the national media stirred the pot.  The defendants were white so would be acquitted.  A jury of both blacks and whites were chosen, the trial was held, no media allowed in the court room.  The jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder.  The jury sentenced two of the defendants to death and gave the third on life in prison simply because Mr. Byrd's family asked that he not be executed.  They knew the young man and felt that he had fallen in with the wrong crowd.  Mr. Byrd got justice.  And my guess would be that those same defendants would have gotten the same sentence if they had been tried in Newton County where the killing took place. 

I don't think blacks want any justice.  They like living  in their squalor.  Does that mean I think all blacks are like this?  No.  There are more that have made a life for themselves and come up to middle class than there are that behave like this.  Why won't they speak out?  Because they would be tarred and feathered by this segment.  And I put trashy whites in the same catagory as these blacks.  The only difference is that trashy whites do not loot and pillage.  Why?  We would not allow it.  So why do we allow the blacks to do this?  Because we don't know what to do with them.  They were put in our schools.  Many excelled.  Many were only there to cause trouble.  So the whites that could moved out, leaving the schools to the blacks.  The blacks destroyed these schools.  And it was the whites' fault for leaving .  I fault no one for trying to defend their children and keep them safe and if a school becomes unsafe for your child, you should move. 

Do my beliefs make me racist?  If so, so be it.  However, I have never met anyone more racist than a good many of these welfare blacks.  If a cop stops me, I keep my hands where he can see them.  I don't want a mistake to cost me my life.  If he asks for my insurance and license, I tell him where they are and then I reach for them.  These cops, and I am not defending bad cops here, see the worst that humanity has to offer.  When they leave for their shift, they don't know if they will be returning home alive.  They are always afraid for their lives.  The public needs to recognize this and try to make it a  little easier for them.  I'm still waiting for Michael Brown's parents to explain his robbing the store and roughing up the clerk, or does that not matter.  If you want to complain about a bad cop, start with a call to the chief, then the police commissioner, the county or city judge, the state attorney general, the governor, and to the DOJ. Every one of these can be reached by email without ever leaving your house.  Don't just bitch to friends.  Do something that will change things. 

Violence in France.

I just read a news article about the anti-semantic violence in France by Palestinians who have settled there and the violence is against native Jews.  My take: France should round up every one of the Palestinians and deport them back to the Gaza strip.  This country should do the same as should England.  One of the premises of immigration is that you leave your allegiance to the country your left.  You allegiance must be to your new country if you are to be a citizen of that new country.  I am seeing this in my own country.  Those coming in now are not wanting to be citizens of the United States.  They are here for what they can get, expect to be catered to, and fully expect to bring their ways with them.  Time to clean house.  Time to send them packing.  It takes courage and grit to stand up and mold your country.  These coming in now have no courage and no grit.  Those coming in now expect to be taken care of.  We didn't found this country on welfare.  We founded this country on individual freedoms and each and every one of us were expected to fight to defend this country if necessary.  None of these coming now care about the country.  They don't give a tinkers damn about what it took to build this country.  During WW11, if we had had the makeup of the country we have now, we could not have won that war.  They would not have fought for this country, but they would have spied against us.  No sympathy for anyone who does not have the guts to stand up and fight for their country and I am seeing those types every day and I don't like it.

Iraq

I am seeing where a lot of fools are pushing for Obama to put troops back in Iraq. While I agree that the US is at fault for the mess because we invaded a country and tried to set up Democracy when they don't want democracy.  That being said, we do not belong back there.  We left them a strong, viable country.  They don't have the backbone to handle it.  The so called Iraqi soldiers shucked their uniforms and ran when the criminals came calling.  Exactly how do we fix a country that does not have the guts to defend itsself?  We need to re-learn our lesson from Vietnam.  Many soldiers have told me that the South Vietnamese thought they were fools for defending South Vietnam.  They were told by the South Vietnamese soldiers that if the Viet Cong ever broke through to the south, then the South Vietnamese would shuck the uniforms and declare that they had been fighting for the Viet Cong  along.  We left and look now long it took the country to fall to the North.  All that time, money and lives wasted for nothing.  For nothing except the politicians that got rich and the defense contractors who got to test their new weapons at the expense of 58,000 young men, many not even out of their teens.  And the country turned right around and allowed the Bush regime to get us  back into a similar mess in Iraq on a pack of lies.  Who benefited?  The same group from the Vietnam era.  Cheney, Rummy, Wolfie, Bolton all benefited.  And we, the American people lost, again.  So did the Iraqi citizens.  So if these arm chair soldiers want us back fighting in Iraq, let them pack up and take off.  I will even contribute to buying their tickets.  And once there, they will be on their own.  They should not have too much trouble.  Let them put their ideas into action.  However, our troops do not need to be back in that sandbox.  Many are still suffering from mental and physical problems now.  And the first to go should be Bush, Cheney, Wolfie, Rummy and Bolton.  And Connie Rice.  All should have to step up and defend the Iraqi people. 

Texa Engineering Extension Agency

I went to work there about 3 years ago.  I worked in the mail room and delivered mail between divisions within the agency.  Back around the first of July, I found a part time job that was perfect for me.  I needed more flexibility but still needed to work.  I turned in my resignation with two weeks notice.  I left on July 16, on a Wednesday at the end of a pay period.  I was asked if I would return part time.  They would work with me when  I needed to be off.  Against my better judgement, I reluctantly agreed because they were under a hiring freeze.  So I left on July 16 and got a call on July 18 asking if I could come in and take care of the afternoon work as my co-worker had called in. So I went. 

On August 6, after I left work and had gotten home, I got a call from my supervisor telling me they no longer needed after Friday.  I was being terminated.  However, they would be calling me when my co-worker called in sick or took off.  No you won't be calling me and this is really crappy.  I gave up a job I really wanted to help you out and I also gave you two weeks notice when I left and this is what I get?  What happened to the professionalism that is always touted?  This is jut plain crappy. 

I went in the next morning before hours, put my keys and name tag in an interoffice envelope, stuck in a note telling them that each and every member of management in that crappy agency could kiss my grits.  I kinda kept it clean. 

I have since learned that a woman form another division was brought into my department, a job created for her.  She is to sit outside the director's office, do some filing and whatever the director wants her to do.  She was also to be trained on sorting the mail and doing in office deliveries.  In other words, she was being paid around $30-35,000 to do nothing.  I was to be kept on call to fill in for my co-worker when she needed to be off.  According to the gossip I go, no one in my department knew this was going to go down and they have been told nothing.  Don't know, don't care.  It was crappy and unprofessional. 

This agency has 11 divisions and all but one has an old white man in charge.  The one that does not has a black male in charge.  No women heading any of these divisions.  This agency is hostile to women.  And they can take the job and shove it. 

Now I got to find another job.

Illegals

It's looking like all those illegals will join the rest of the illegals in this country.  The report of 11 million is so wrong.  I would bet at least 30 million and growing daily.  This is so wrong on all counts.  We have children going to bed hungry every night.  We have 35 million homeless children.  We have over 2 million in the system that we do not care for.  We have children being handed back to abusive parents because we don't have anything in place to take care of them.  Our schools are no longer our schools.  They are run for Mexico and Central America.  Our kids are pushed to the side while our teachers who are being paid to teach our children, concentrate on those who speak no English.  And those in Washington do not have a clue because they are so far removed from the everyday life of their constituents that they don't know and don't want to know what we are up against.  I would like my representative to spend a week sitting in the classrooms of our elementary schools.  It's isn't like he doesn't have the time.  This do-nothing congress has only been in session around 120 days.  Wouldn't you like to be paid $174,000 a year, have your insurance paid for, have a free office, free gym, discount cafeteria, free parking and only have to work between 100 and 120 days per year?  I would love it, but that is not to be for the working class of this country.  We just have to keep working and paying for those who won't work and those coming here illegally and stealing from us. 

Some states are now issuing drivers licenses to illegals.  What do they use for identification or is it like the schools where none is required for them?  I have to take my birth certificate, my social security card and proof of state residence before I can get a license.  Why am I required to meet all these rules and those here illegally do not? This is my country.  My family has been in this country since before a white man set foot on the shores.  And I am treated like a criminal trying to steal something just to put my kids in schools or get a drivers license.  And the politicians see nothing wrong with this?  We have no congress anymore.  They are controlled by and working for special interests.  The democrats are, well I'm not sure what the democrats are looking for.  The Republicans are looking for business to control the country and business wants the illegals because of cheap labor so all in congress, especially the republicans, are giving them the country and making the working class pay for it.  I say it is time for a revolution.

Getting out of our borders

I don't think there is anyone in the world that is not aware that Russia is causing the problems in Ukraine.  I also don't think there is much we can do about it.  Europe can.  They can isolate Russia.  They can cut off all economic ties with Russia.  Will they?  Probably not, if history is any indication. As to Israel, that is conundrum and maybe no fix is there.  The Arab world is going to continue to back Hamas.  We will continue to back Israel.  The Arab world has stated that it will  not quit until Israel ceases to exist.  And yet the Arabs can't even get along with each other.  We should not have meddled in Iraq, but we did, and we left them with a healthy, viable country.  They would not even try to make it work.  The Arab would does not want democracy.  They like living in the 11th century.  I won't be around to see how this plays out over the next 50 years, but I think we will see real problems with food and water and these little snits will cease to matter because the world will be fighting over food and water.  They won't stop reproducing like rabbits, but will keep demanding more from the earth.  Well, guess what, Mother Nature has billions of years to repair the earth.  Mankind does not.  We will breed ourselves into extinction and that would not be a bad thing.

Politics

I have been trying to ignore politics because it makes me so angry at the stupidity and corruption that is ruling our country and most of the world.  I am seeing posts on facebook that  ignorant people post.  One in particular is that " A Texas general in the National Guard has stated that the guard is going to close the border and stop all those illegals from crossing.  I find it very sad that these people buying into this and believing this.  Their willful stupidity about our laws and the Constitution is downright scary.  They are lauding Perry for sending troops to the border.  Those troops can do nothing except observe and report and they are not allowed on the private land along the Rio Grande and most of the land along the Rio is privately owned.  Reagan, that wonderful president, sent troops to the border in the 1980's,.  The only thing that accomplished was getting a 14 year old citizen killed on his own land.  Two soldiers were hidden in the brush.  This 14 year old was checking his father's stock.  As with everyone else who lives in the vast country in South Texas, he was carrying a rifle.  A rifle is needed for snakes and wild animals.  You never know what you will encounter and you are miles from anything.  So this boy hears rustling in the brush.  Assuming it is possibly a mountain lion or a wild boar, he shoots into the brush.  The soldiers hidden there, without his father's permission, shoot and kill this 14 year old.  The troops were quickly removed and no charges were ever brought.  Several laws were broken here.
1) posting troops on private land is illegal
2) posting troops on private land without the permission of the landowner is definitely illegal
3)posting troops on US soil is illegal.
4)killing a US citizen is murder any way you cut it.

So we do not want troops on the border.  What is needed is more money for more law enforcement.  The sheriffs have asked repeatedly for more money to hire more deputies and get more equipment.  Austin has ignored them and so has Washington. There is an easy fix to our illegal problem.  Just enforce the laws.  Arrest, fine and prosecute any and all who hire them.  No jobs, no illegals.  But business owns our congress so that isn't going to happen and if the politicians could find a way to get to Washington without our votes, we would really be thrown under the bus.  I never thought I would see my country in the mess it is in.
