Text Box: I got to watch a delightful video from the Dorrance Dance Company. It has been described as “Sweet and Silly.’  It was a tap dance routine and it was fun to watch. It was based on a Duke Ellington version of the nutcracker suite. Both Suzanne and the kids loved it, but my understanding is that the Republicans went ballistic in flinging venom toward this innocent fun dance group.   Somehow I think it was much nicer and much more holiday fun than Trump’s wife Milania’s display of blood red Christmas trees.

God bless America, the GOP and the man that should be our real President, Donald Trump. 
I am looking forward to Mike Johnson issuing articles of impeachment against Joe Biden and his crime family. His family has been allowed to flout the law for years and now it is time for them to be called to task. I have heard plenty of evidence of their crimes on FOX, Blaze, Newsmax and the One America Network. America is a country of law and the Biden Family has committed high crimes and misdemeanors. Ron Johnson has proof, even if it is only broadcast on right wing radio and TV, it is still true and should be able to be used to impeach Biden. . 
I love babies and I am most upset with the left wingers who want to kill them.
The state of Texas is correct in not allowing abortions.  Left wingers make up all sort of ridiculous stories because they want to kill their own babies. As I said before, our county is a country of law and we need to punish these women, their doctors and the hospitals that rip children out of mothers wombs’. 
The Bible says “Thou Shalt Not Kill” and we need to stand up and stop baby killing. These Commie Socialist left wingers are mostly all child molesters who are sacrificing children on the alters of their false gods. They are child trafficking in unborn babies and if you love God and love children, you will work hard to put a stop to their awful actions. 
God is with the GOP and we are all on God’s side. Be sure that you are on the right side and support Republican candidates.
God bless America.

Smokey is celebrating end of the quarter and going on Spring break by working full time at both our St. Helens and St. Johns Restaurants.  He is, at least, working days so that he can have time with the kids. They have set up their electric train, Xmas village and they are having a ball with it. 
I am disgusted with our do nothing Congress. They won’t do anything to help the American people. All they can talk about is impeaching the President, and the stupid thing is that they don’t have an ounce of proof to back up any of their impeachment claims. They can’t get anyone who will be willing to swear to anything under oath. All they are doing is political Kabuki Theatre.
Smokey and I just wrote a big check to Planned Parenthood. We are very upset with the awful thing that has happened to Kate Cox in Texas.  Kate is a mother of two healthy children. Her fetus had been diagnosed with a rare and deadly genetic condition called trisomy 18. Both Kate’s life as well as the baby’s life will be in danger if Kate were to carry her baby to term, not only that but the delivery of this baby may possibly render her sterile. According to the doctors, the fetus would not be expected to live even if she were to carry it to term. 
A court provided her with an exception, but the Republican Texas Attorney General has issued threats. He said that he will go after the hospital and he will jail any doctors who attempt to perform medically necessary abortions.  Kate has sued, but the Republican Texas Supreme Court has for forbidden her to have an abortion. Because her life is at stake, she has left the state. 
If you care about women and their rights, I would strongly suggest that you also donate to Planned Parenthood.  Women should have the right to control their own bodies and should not be forced to put their life at risk.

God bless America, the GOP and the man that should be our real President, Donald Trump. My live in girlfriend is still not feeling well. She got sick with that Chinese flu last year and has had health problems ever since. Her doctor said that she has “Long Covid” (what ever that is). I am glad that I don’t have it, and I didn’t get any of those dangerous shots either. I sure as hell don’t want any of those government tracking devices in my blood stream. 
I am looking forward to attend a “Save America” Trump rally.  Most of these rally's will be live stream, but I am hoping that they will have some of them here in Oregon as well. 
We need Donald Trump.  He will save our nation from run away inflation and a corrupt Democrat party. People need to realize that the Republican party is the party of family values.  We don’t want groomers turning our children into gay or trans and we need to watch the sort of books that we allow our kids access to in our school libraries. 
Evil men like George Soros are spending great amounts of money to promote gay and negro causes. 
They are working to replace us with yellow, black, brown, and Jew people. We need to stand up for white and Christian values by supporting Donald trump and voting Republican. 
We are not racist, but pro Christian.  We need to stop babies from being aborted and put an end to this real holocaust in our state and our nation. 
Soro’s people own the banks, the media and are all part of the Hollywood elite. 
God is with us and the Republican party is the party of God. Vote for the good guys, vote for a white Christian America.
God bless America.

Everything outside is wet. Our fields are wet and what used to be our garden is now under water. I am doing some paintings, nothing spectacular, but I find my use of color to be fun. 
I saw the Fat guys girl friend at Market Fresh yesterday. She looked really bad. I suspect that she has been sick. I feel real sorry for her and I hope that she gets better.
I just purchased Liz Cheney’s new Book “Oath and Honor.” I have not read much of it but from what I have read, she seems to tell it like it is.  I knew that Donald Trump was bad news, but I had no idea how really bad he is and how horrible our America would be if he is ever re-elected.  The man wants to be dictator and he has a number of “enablers” who would be willing to sell out our democracy and our country in order to gain his’s favor .
From what I have heard from Trump, it would appear that his primary motivation is revenge. Both Steve Bannon and Kash Patel, say that he plans to go after the media. He will punish them and many will see jail time. He does not want an independent media or an independent Justice Department. He has plans to make them all completely subordinate to him.
He also plans to fire 50,000 Federal Employees. This way, there will be no deep state and those that want government jobs, will have to take a loyalty test and oath to him personally, rather than to the Constitution. 
Things will be different under the next Trump Presidency and our country will become a far cry from what it is now.

God bless America, the GOP and the man that should be our real President, Donald Trump.
The witch hunt against our former President continues and the 91 indictments against him have backfired.  More and more people support our President and more and more people feel that he is being unjustly persecuted. His enemies have tried to gag him and prevent him from defending himself, but he has proven to be unstoppable. When they tried to  stop him from talking about Judges, Court Clerks, and perhaps even potential Jurors, they are attempting to take away his First Amendment rights to free speech. He should be allowed to rally his followers, since they are they only ones who can stop him from being unjustly prosecuted. You would think that this was a third world banana republic the way the crooked Demorats are trying to persecute and level unjust charges against our former President. 
His enemies may soon be sorry, because if President Trump wins the 2024 election, there will be big changes and roles will be reversed. He will jail the real enemies of our nation and we may even see a resumption of executions, possibly even public ones. Real crooks like Hillary and the entire Biden crime family will be called to question, and there will be a complete stop of illegal immigration and gay marriage.  America will no longer be plunged into Socialism and the evils of Obama care will be stopped.  With Donald Trump, our Nation will truly be great again… and no one, no one will trifle with us. God help anyone who crosses Donald Trump, for God is with him.
God bless America.

Smokey seems to think that I need to write this blog in my own name.  He says that I am more politically astute than him. I suspect that he just does not have the time to write or do anything other than his work and school.  He is going to school full time and working part time. This, and his family duties, take up a good chunk of Smokies time.  
I am concerned about the rise of right wing Fascism in our country and in the world. 
Geert Wilders was just elected Prime minister of the Netherlands and it would appear that he wants to lead his country down the road to Fascism, as does the newly elected President of Argentina Javier Milei. They will join right wingers like Orban in Hungry, Modi in India, Netanyahu in Israel, Meloni in Italy, and Kaczynski in Poland.
Trump has told the world about his plans for the USA.  He plans to place his own people in the Justice Department, and overrule local law enforcement.  He will use the Insurrection Act to seize power, jail his enemies and establish a Fascist like government here in the USA.  
I have always wondered how Hitler was able to seize power in Germany, and now I am seeing it happen here in the USA.  I hope people are smart enough to see what Trump plans to do and will be willing to vote him and his supporters out. With vast amounts of money being spent on elections, voter caging, people being dropped from the voter rolls and gerrymandering of voters, we may see a minority of Fascists seize power here, regardless of how the majority of Americans vote.  
I hope that people will wise up before it is too late to protect their rights, and keep America democratic and free..

God bless America, the GOP and the man that should be our real President, Donald Trump.
We have a good reason why Donald Trump is our party leader. He is willing to work hard for us and he is not shy.  He says what he thinks. He is singlehandedly responsible for ending Roe v Wade. He promised that he would appoint anti-abortion justices and did just what he promised. He also, as the good book tells us, wants to punish women who kill babies by aborting them. He also pulled our troops out of Afghanistan, began peace talks with Russian and North Korea and will, like he did in Afghanistan, pull our troops out of NATO. We no longer need NATO and we no longer need wars, like those that Biden and his cronies are waging in the Ukraine. 
He will also work hard to protect our children, by banning books that teach racism, homosexuality, Socialism and pornography. He will jail librarians, teachers and others that refuse to eliminate books that teach this filth. 
He will bring stability to our government in America. He will protect us from the filth and vermin that are infesting us by illegally crossing our southern borders. He has already shown how he plans to accomplish this by utilizing the Insurrection Act, and setting up camps to imprison dissidents and illegal immigrants.  
We will never have to worry about our safety. Under Republican leadership and the Trump family, America will be safe and stable again. 
We all need to support President Trump and his family. Our nation and our freedoms will not survive without them
God bless America.

Halloween is over and now we have to get all geared up for Christmas. I think of myself as “spiritual, but I am not a Christian.  I also don’t believe that Christmas really is an actual Christian holiday. The early Christians borrowed from the Roman Saturnalia and pagan Solstice celebrations and replaced them with “Christmas.”  No one really knows when Jesus was born but Christmas was a good replacement for pagan holidays.  Today, commercialism has replaced the spiritual and Santa has replaced Jesus. Christmas is celebrated world wide in a number of Christian and non Christian countries. Merchants are happy to sell things and people, both secular and non secular, are happy to give and receive gifts 
Tomorrow we will be cooking a turkey, watching football on TV and celebrating Thanksgiving. This too, isn’t really a Christian holiday, but we all like food and Football, so what they heck. 
I see that the crooked Texas Attorney General is going to use the power of his Texas government to support Elon Musk in his bogus lawsuit against Media matters. Paxton was indicted for fraud 8 years ago and he has still not gone to trial. 
Multi Billionaire Elon Musk is throwing a slap suit at Media matters because they wrote a truthful article showing Twitter (now called “X”) running Nazi advertisements. Other advertisers read this article and have refused to advertise on “X” anymore. Musk (and Pazton) say that Media Matters is a “Far left organization” that wants to defame the good name of his “X” public media platform. 
It is a bogus slap suit and Musk has little chance of winning his suit, but legal actions can be a very expensive thing for a non profit like Media matters and that is what Musk wants to accomplish. 
Too bad that Musk wont use his money and power to do good things instead of supporting NAZI’s and racial hate groups.

Hurray for Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullen. He is and was willing to stand up for what is right and publicly challenge a Commie Marxist Labor Leader to a bear knuckle knock down and drag out fight. I think he scared the crap out of the old union guy.
I was disappointed in seeing the Republicans work with the Demorats in approving another “Continuing Resolution.” If they had any guts, they would have stuck to their guns and shut the damn government down until they got their way. I hope that they will show more guts when they have to vote again in January. 
I am looking forward to the November election next year. This will show the world that Donald Trump has captured both the hearts and minds of a Christian America. We will have no more witch hunts, but we will have genuine retribution. Donald Trump will start the purification process and clean America of Union and Marxist scum. He will reform our Civil Service and form a government that will work for America instead of working for lazy “woke” welfare kings and queens. 
Stand by folks for we will see a real work in progress… Donald Trump’s Christian America where the wrath of God will be spewed upon all of the enemies of God, truth and Freedom.
Looking forward to that day
God bless America.

Smokey is working and going to school.  He is serious about what he is doing and is spending lots of his time here at home studying. Because he is busy, I will continue to write his blogs for him. 
Lots of things have happened this last week. Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin  Challenged the Teamsters President to a Fist Fight when the Teamster mentioned that Mullin has acted like a “Greedy CEO.”  It took Bernie Sanders to get them to calm down and act like grown ups instead of middle school brats.  Another Republican, former Speaker Kevin McCarthy elbowed Rep. Tim Burchett because he was one of the people responsible for removing McCarthy as speaker.  
My guess is that Republicans want others to think that they are “Manly Men” when they act violently toward others.
President Trump was noted to be reminiscent of Mussolini and Hitler in his New Hampshire Veterans Day speech. He called his opposition “Vermin, Marxists and radical left thugs”. He dehumanized his opposition and implied that they needed to be eliminated. 
It is no secret that Donald Trump has plans to use the Insurrection Act as soon as he is elected and has plans to construct “Camps” to send his opponents and suspected enemies. 
The Republican party has become not only the party of the wealthy and special interests but now a party of Dictatorship and Fascism.
I find it amazing that the people who support Trump and his preaching also claim to be Christian Patriots. 
If Americans buy this nonsense, then it will be the end of Americas’ two and a half centuries long experiment with democracy.

God bless America, the GOP and the man that should be our real President, Donald Trump.
We had a great Platform Convention in Pendleton, this last month. Marvelous speakers and a wonderful occasion to be able affirm our stand for election integrity and our belief in law and order. 
I am so pleased that we have a wonderful Chair, Traci Brumbles. She exemplifies all the good things that Republicans Stand for. America, Christianity, and our Constitutional 2nd Amendment rights. 
The witch hunters continue in their battle to discredit and jail President Trump. They have tried to muzzle him and prevent him from using his 1st Amendment rights to discredit the opposition, judges, and court employees. So far they have been unsuccessful and he has managed to let the world know that he is innocent. 
These people had better be careful, because when he is elected again, he will go after all who have opposed him, including Bill Barr and the Biden crime family. 
He is the greatest President our nation has seen in our life times and my hope and prayer is that he will again achieve power and remain President for life. 
God is with us and we need to work hard to keep our nation Christian, white and free.
God bless America.

Smokey is really busy with school and working part time for the Burger Place, so I get to write his blog for him again. I probably should post my name on future blogs since I (his wife) probably will be filling in for him each week 
I have noticed that MSNBC, Yahoo News and the Washington Post have all published stories about Trump’s plans for revenge. According to these news outlets, the first thing that Trump will do will be to sign an Executive order invoking the Insurrection Act. This way he will be able to use the Military to crush any demonstrations, or any attempts to protest his actions. 
Trump plans to fire existing Justice Department Employees and staff it with his own people, people who are loyal to him personally. He has published ambitious plans to take action not only against his political opposition, but also against people in his own party who he feels have been less than loyal to him. He has mentioned a number of people by name which include Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley; Lawyer, Ty Cobb; and Former Attorney General Bill Barr. He has also talked about prosecuting various people in the F.B.I. and Justice Department as well as the entire Biden family.  
If Trump is elected, the man plans to seize as much power as possible under the untested theory of being a “Unitary Executive.” He plans to do this as quickly as possible before anyone can take action to the contrary.
I have often wondered how a Progressive nation like Germany could have allowed someone like Adolph Hitler to come into power.  I now can see how Trump and his MAGA followers may accomplish for the USA what Hitler did for Germany. 
This is a chilling thought and if we are not careful, in 2024, it can happen here.

God bless America, the GOP and the man that should be our real President, Donald Trump. I had fun this Halloween. This year,  I didn’t put my dogs on my front porch,  I just posted a big sign that read “Quarantined for Covid”. I didn’t have any little urchins begging at my front door this year but big High School kids knocked on my door. I jumped out and told them that I would breath on all of them if they were not careful. They took off on a run. 
The witch hunt continues and the Demorats are spending valuable time accusing President Trump and his children of all sorts of fake financial crimes. Attorney General Letitia James (a Black Racist) is trying to make people believe that the President’s Children were aware of and knowingly participated in a long running scheme to falsely inflate the Trump company assets to get favorably terms for loans and insurance policies.  This is nonsense, but who knows what James’s Kangaroo court will come up with.  
Obviously we know that everyone is completely innocent
I do know that come the next election, when Donald Trump is put back into power, that there will be a reckoning. Some people had better be very afraid, because Donald Trump is not the sort of person who will abide disloyalty or dishonesty. 
Our nation needs a leader like Donald Trump and he will work hard to make our Country Great Again.  
God Bless America

Smokie has once again asked me to write his blog for him.  He is going to school and working part time at the St. Johns Restaurant.  He is pretty busy, but seems to think that he can handle school and still work part time. 
Don Jr. made his debut in court today regarding their fraudulent family business. Eric is scheduled to testify on Thursday. Donald Trump’s turn will be November 6th, and Ivanka November 8. I am particularly interested in what they have to say, particularly since they will all be under oath.  My guess is that they all will have memory problems. Don Jr. said that he never saw any important papers and was not sure what best accounting practices are.  
Donald Trump took time out to blast the judge and seems to think that he is not under any sort of a gag order. 
Listened to MSNBC and it would appear that Trump, if elected, plans to take revenge on all the people that have either slighted him or rubbed him the wrong way.  He, and his followers believe in the Unitary Executive.  He plans to consolidate all power under his control.  His plans are to install lawyers and judges who will support and take orders from him, regardless of the law. 
It would appear to me, that if he is re-elected that he will turn the USA into a full blown Fascist nation. 
Our fathers fought in a great war to stop Fascism, and it would be a shame to see the USA fall to this evil philosophy.

I am not looking forward to kids trick or treating at my house. Last year I made sure that a couple of my dogs were tied up on my front porch.  If it were not for neighbor complaints to the County, I would do it again.  I think I will just refuse to answer my door when they ring the door bell.
I am thrilled with the selection of Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. He is a White Christian, God loving American. He is all that we have ever asked of our politicians.  He believes in President Trump and he knows that our election was stolen. Johnson stands for running our government on Christian principles. I am sure that he will do his best to stop abortionists from legally killing innocent children. Demorats may love child murder, but we Christian Republicans don’t. He also does not believe in fake science, be it the global warming hoax or forcing school children to be given dangerous vaccines. Above all, he will stop our nation from hemorrhaging money with the Ukraine. We need to pull out of that war, we have no business interfering with Russia’s domestic policies. 
It will be good to see our nation run again on good Constitutional principles, and stop the Demorat socialists in their tracks. 
I thank God that we have a Christian Nationalist speaking for our House of Representatives. God will prevail and our nation will again be run as a white Christian nation. God bless America.

Sean is in school, Smokey is taking college classes and Rosie and I are home keeping things running.  Most everything (including our pumpkins) has been harvested from our neighborhood garden and I get to work on my art, (assuming that little Rosie lets me).
I am disgusted with the Republicans, they have pretty much brought our government to a stand still. We have Tommy Tuberville holding up all of our important military promotions, we have the threat of a government shut down in November, and Republicans have turned our House of Representatives into a clown show. They have finally, managed to select a speaker. The reason why they have taken so long to do so is that they refused to want to work across the isle with Democrats. They don’t want compromise or care about the wants or needs of better than half of America. They picked Mike Johnson from Louisiana. He is a MAGA election denier, who thinks vaccines are dangerous, thinks the January 6th Insurrection was a legitimate citizens exercise, global warming is a hoax, and wants to work hard to pass a national abortion ban.  
I suspect that he also would like to make Donald Trump President for life and be willing to let Vladimir Putin run our nation. 
I can’t believe that the Republicans would be so stupid or disloyal.  I am not looking forward to the next year and a half.  I am afraid that our government may come to a crashing stop.

I am disgusted with the Demorats. They have done nothing to help our nation or the world. They have allowed Hamas to attack Israel and have done nothing to stop this from happening.  As a good Christian, I am concerned about the State of Israel, because that is where the war of Armageddon will be fought and Christ will then again return and rule the earth. Jesus will throw the Communists, Socialists, and Democrats into hell fire and the world will see a rule of righteousness with Republican king Jesus. 
Donald Trump has the ability to bring on the Rule of Jesus. He promises that if elected, he will not allow the evil Deep State to exist.  He will fire millions of lazy federal employees and replace them with loyal Republican American patriots. He has an enemies list and with a new, stronger and loyal Justice department will jail his enemies and perhaps execute them, making it much easier for Jesus to begin his rule.   
If you care about good government, if you care about America, then you really need to support our countries only hope, Donald Trump.

Smokey had a day off on Monday.  No school, and he spent most of his time working around the house. He still asked me to write his blog for him again this week. 
Strange that the GOP is blaming the Democrats for the war in Israel.  In reality, they have no basis for doing this, when the GOP has gone out of their way to disable our own ability to act in the Middle East.  They have refused to approve the appointment of an Ambassador to Israel, and GOP Senator Tommy Tuberville has refused to allow the appointment of an Army Chief of staff or for that matter promotion of 100’s of military high ranking officers.  Our GOP house has not made any attempt to allow money for a military response on our part and seems set on shutting our government down in the next month and a half.  If one didn’t know any better, it would seem that the GOP is following orders issued by Putin’s Russia, rather than the American people.  
The GOP seems to be having a great deal of difficulty in choosing a Speaker for the House.  They have two major candidates, one a blatant racist and the other an insurrectionist. It should be apparent that as far as the GOP is concerned, the days of rational government are over.  The MAGA faction is in control of the Republican party and they don’t give a rip about helping our nation or the American people. They seem to want prevent us from being a functioning democracy and turn us into a racist fascist dictatorship.

From: R. Patriot 10/4/23
God bless America, the GOP and the man that should be our real President, Donald Trump.  Good riddance to Kevin McCarthy. He refused to do what President Trump asked him to do and went with the Democrats to prevent the government from shutting down. He is a traitor to our Country and to the Republican Party and should not be in as important a position as Speaker of the House.  
Republicans are now considering running President Trump as Speaker. There are no rules that would prevent him from assuming that position. Donald Trump was the greatest President our nation has seen in modern times and he did everything that he told us he would do. He was wealthy enough so that he donated all of his salary to charity.  He built a wall, he shut down our borders, and made illegal immigration very unpleasant.  Donald was responsible for saving the lives of millions of unborn babies and he protected us from George Soros, BLM and ANTIFA.  Donald Trump presided over the greatest economy our nation has ever seen; and yet he is being persecuted like no other former President ever has been. 
A corrupt Biden Administration with a corrupt Justice Department is accusing him of crimes when he has done no wrong. 
We need to stand up for Donald Trump, election integrity and white Christian America. 
Help us to rid America of an old corrupt senile poor excuse for a President. Make Biden a one term President and when he loses, he and a lot of other people really deserve to see jail time. God is on the side of the GOP and we all need to be on God’s side. As Christian Nationalists, let us all stand up for America and vote Republican.
God Bless America.

Smokey is busy with school work, so that I am again writing his weekly blog, We are giving out pumpkins to all of the neighbors and just about anyone else who wants them.  Our community garden has really made a big hit with the neighborhood and we plan to continue with it again this next year.
MSNBC’s Alex Wagner began her show tonight with a discussion of Who will be Speaker of the House.  She mentioned, former House Speaker, Dennis Hastert who in 2015 admitted to sexually abusing a number of young people.  She then said that Jim Jordan, who witnessed and ignored sex abuse by another wrestling coach at Ohio State, and then pointed to Steve Scalise from Louisiana, who formally has been described as a “White supremacist.”   She pointed out that as human beings, Hastert, Jordan and Scalise all have less then desirable traits and (with the exception of Hastert)  want to become Speaker of the House. In addition to these people, we have Donald Trump who is being charged with 34 crimes and has proven to be a serial adulterer and rapist. Trump is now being suggested as Speaker of the House. 
 The House Republicans, under their leadership, have in the last year passed no meaningful legislation and under their lack of leadership are willing to allow our nation to go into default.  This is so disgusting and so very unamerican.  Have the Republicans no shame, are they stupid, or are they really just downright evil? I am amazed that  people will still vote for them.

God bless America, the GOP and the man that should be our real President, Donald Trump.   

The walls are closing on the Biden Crime family and patriots like Marjorie Taylor Green, and Paul Gosar, are preparing Articles of Impeachment. Biden is probably one of the most corrupt politicians in history. He is not only corrupt, but he is also senile so that he can be easily manipulated by haters like George Soros and the Obama family

This last July, I signed a petition asking for school choice. I believe that parents should be allowed to choose what schools their children attend. I am a strong advocate for Parental rights. We should allow our children to be able to attend Christian schools and we should have them as part of our County School District. 
We need to stand up and prevent our schools from grooming our children. Children as young as 5 are being taught to become trans or gay. They are also being taught bad things about our county. 

If you love America, you will want our children to be proud of our county. We don’t want our children to grow up gay, trans or being Ashamed of America. We need to do as they have done in Florida, Texas and elsewhere, and make sure that our parental rights are heard and our children are taught to become Christian, straight, proud and to marry white. 

We should not allow our nation or our children to become mongrelized. We all need to  stand up for school choice.

God bless America.

Smokey is busy doing school work so I am writing his blog (again) this week. 
We have harvested most of our veggies for our neighbors. The remainder has been given to the food bank.  Our pumpkins look ripe enough so that there will be plenty for both our neighbors and others come Halloween time.   

I just read that Florida is leading the country in book bans. PEN America recorded 3,362 instances of bans in public school classrooms and libraries from July 2022 to June 2023 across the county. Out of these, about 1,400 (40%) took place in Florida. Texas registered the 2nd highest number of book bans, with 625 books followed by Missouri, Utah and Pennsylvania. 

The right wing wants to censor the books that people read.  They have banned books that have characters who are gay, trans and (gasp) colored. They also want to ban books that cast a bad light on things that we have done in the past. 
It would appear to me that the right wing not only is opposed to kids leaning about human sexuality, but they are also opposed to them learning about black history or discovering how we have treated native Americans, oriental populations, world events like the Holocaust and our own Internment of Japanese during WWII .  

You would think that we would want to understand history and try and learn from our own mistakes. It appears that there is a national movement, lead by our Republican party, to try and cover up or ignore the mistakes that we (and other people) have made in the past. 

It seems strange to me that our nation would be going down the same path as the NAZI’s and Fascists of Old and ban books, because our children might learn something that a bigot would not want them to learn. 

I believe that our schools should try to expand knowledge, understanding, and compassion instead of allowing for ignorance and fear. 

Book bans are wrong and I hope you are opposed to them as well.

I was contacted by a corporation asking if I would to sell my rentals to them. I will do that if they are willing to make it worth my while.  It would be one less worry for me.  I would not have to worry about collecting rentals or fixing things that my renters break. 
I just read in AMAC (Association of Mature American Citizens). That crooked Biden is trying to pass a rule to make it harder for any future Republican President to control the left leaning deep state. 
The article explains that of the 2.2 million federal workers only about 4,000 are Presidential appointees.  Of these federal workers over 95% are left wingers. These lefties remain on the job whenever a new President is elected and there is little that they can do to control them. 
President Trump was often frustrated by the deep state and many of his important policies were stopped or at least slowed down by these lefties.   President Trump, Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy all have vowed to put a stop to this sort of government abuse. We need to bring Jacksonian democracy back to how we run our government.  
We need to stand up and prevent crooked Biden from permanently establishing this part of his left wing agenda. He is hiring trans, gay and women to jobs that belong to men.   Presidents should be able to again wrest control of the left wing deep state and make sure that we employ only patriotic Americans instead of sabotaging left wing zealots.   
God is with the GOP and we need to do God’s work.
God bless America.

Smokey is in school and so is Sean, and little Rosie has her nose out of joint. Since her dad and brother are now going to school, Rosie seems to be having a hard time understanding why she, a “big girl of 3 years” isn’t in school as well.  I guess I could enroll her in either Snoopyland or Creekside Academy, but I really hate to let go of her, 
I’m selfish, I really enjoy being with my little daughter.
I have been listening to the news and I am disgusted with our MAGA Republicans in Congress. It would appear that they are dead set on shutting our government down. They are anti vaccination and don’t want to support flue, COVID or RSV shots.  They don’t want to upgrade our national infrastructure, they are opposed to our supporting the Ukraine and they think that it is awful that President Biden is working to reduce the cost of drugs and supports workers’ rights and unions. They seem to be opposed to consumer protections, and child labor laws. So far, this Congress has not passed any meaningful legislation and it is evident to all that the MAGA crowd does not believe in Democracy, our system of government, or helping average Americans.  Republican Tommy Tuberville refuses to allow our military to promote their upper-level officers and it would appear that he, and others like him, are damaging our military preparedness.  All our MAGA Republicans seem intent on doing is making up untrue stories about open borders and Joe Biden’s son’s criminal actions.  Strange that the actions of Trump’s sons and daughter didn’t bother them at all, and they were (unlike Biden’s son) actually part of Trump’s Administration and actively involved in making policy decision. 
I am amazed that many Americans’ have been fooled by these people who are pretending to be patriots, but are in truth fascists trying to undermine our democratic republic.

I just hired my ex brother-in-law to help me do some plumbing on my rental units.  I have raised my rents, so I have to do some repairs. I don’t want to spend more money than I have to and being a good businessman, I need to cut corners where I can. 

I am pleased that the Patriots in our US House are starting an impeachment inquiry on the Joe Biden Crime Family. It is about time that they do something about one of the most corrupt President’s in history.  I know that this is true, because I have been told all about this on Fox, Brietbart, and Alex Jones network.  Multiple sources mean that the message is true.  You can’t believe the lies that you hear on the Mainstream media, but you can believe what you hear on the media that I listen to. 
We are facing a fiscal crises, open borders, runaway inflation, high gas prices and unjustified persecution of our last (and perhaps greatest) President. 

Biden is corrupt and he is working hand and glove with his crooked drug addicted son . It is about time that Americans wise up and impeach this senile fool. 

We really need to work hard to bring us back to the golden years of the 1890’s. We need to make America Great Again.
We need to be careful on how we vote.  We need to vote GOP (God’s Own Party). We need to save America from racist Commies like George Soros.  We need to protect our children from Child molesting Demorats.   Let us all work hard and make sure that America stays free, Christian and white.  

God Bless America.

All ready for school and my first day of classes on September 26th.  All my books are purchased and I have finalized my schedule. 
We have harvested lots of veggies for our neighbors and for the food bank.  I am pleased that the Burger place is taking care of my neighbor who needed help. I got him a job.  They are happy with him, and he seems to be very happy with his job.  

Suzanne get’s the Thom Hartmann Newsletter and she shared this with me:
House Republicans have revived the infamous Swiftboat lie strategy that helped defeat John Kerry in 2004. In essence, it involves relentlessly lying about a candidate and smearing his or her name and reputation in the hopes it’ll shave a few points off their popularity with independent voters.

While virtually 100 percent of the men who served with Kerry in Vietnam spoke glowingly of his service, a group who did not serve with him made up lies and exaggerations.

Kerry and those who served with him tried to get the truth out, but, as Mark Twain is often credited as saying, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.”

While Democrats prefer to win elections based on facts and policy positions, Republicans — not having anything to offer average Americans — instead default to slander and lies. Like with Obama’s birth certificate. Or Hillary’s email and Benghazi.
Wouldn’t most people, after all, resort to lies if all they had to offer was:

— Forcing 10-year-olds to carry their rapist’s babies to term,
— More guns to slaughter more American children,
— Tax cuts for billionaires,
— More fossil fuels to create out-of-control weather,
— A government shutdown to cause a recession,
— And a Russian victory in Ukraine?

I am amazed that people still think that the they are being helped by Republicans. I hope people will be wise in the way that they cast their ballots this next year.

I went ahead and did as I promised to do and evicted three families who have been traditionally late in paying their rent.  You should have seen them howl and their kids cry. I told them that it was my Christian duty to do what I have done. I hope they all learn how to become responsible citizens. Our nation does not need more free loaders.  
Personally, I believe that left wing programs like free kids lunches, food stamps, and free school all encourages this sort of behavior. In the old days people were able to stand on their own.  People would work and save for the future. 
Because of far left politicians, this is no longer so.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is now putting together Articles of Impeachment to remove Biden, a corrupt would be dictator. 
We need to jail both Biden and his crooked son for their misuse of their political office.  Sadly, we now have a senile, brain dead President who is actively conducing a witch hunt against former President Trump. 
Biden is lying about our economy and even when he says it is good, we know that things are bad. What they don’t seem to realize is that the more Biden tries to hurt President Trump, the stronger our former President becomes.  He is a strong man, a strong leader and a man that God has appointed to lead our nation. President Trump, when elected will jail the crooks who oppose him and he will lead us on to great things. 
Under President Trump, America will truly become great again.
God bless America.

I am getting all ready to go back to school. I have done most of my advanced paperwork and am ready to hit the books again.  In the meantime, I was able to help a neighbor, who had some injuries,  get a job with the Burger Place.  He was having some financial problems since he was not able to work for a while.  Suzanne and I have helped them buy some groceries over the last few months.  Today,  I was able to make sure that he was employed.  With a job he will now be able to get back on his feet.  
Suzanne says that there is a group called “No Labels” that wants to establish itself as a third party.  They seem to have quite a bit of money, and no one seems to know who is financing them.  She thinks that their purpose is to pull votes away from President Biden and get Trump re-elected. She also wonders if they are being financed by some foreign country like Saudia Arabia or Russia. It is really strange that they won’t tell anyone where there money is originating from. 
My wife also mentioned that there is another group, called “Moms for Liberty.”  This Mom’s group is an active right wing organization and stands opposed to abortion, public education, gays, Hispanics, and other minorities. It is no surprise that, despite their name, they are not for liberty, at least not for poor and working people.
People need to know that the name of an organization does not always say what an organization stands for.
There are a number of right wing organizations that are actively trying to discredit President Biden. They like to make out that he is senile and they tell numerous lies about him and his accomplishments. 
Lots of people don’t realize that under our president, we now have the greatest job growth of any industrialized nation.  We also have the lowest rate of inflation of any industrialized county, the lowest unemployment and the best economy that we have ever seen in the last sixty years.  President Biden, under the “Build Back Better  Act” is responsible for lowering drug prices and bringing manufacturing back to the USA.
Despite right wing lies and opposition, our President has accomplished a tremendous number of good things for our country.

Ha!  I hired a good Jewish lawyer to help me write up new rental leases. There is a shortage of rentals in our community and I see this as an opportune time to be able to raise rents. I have done the paper work to get the Sheriff to evict some of the people who have gotten behind in their rent. I am a Christian man and I don’t believe in supporting free loaders. 
I expect the house to have articles of impeachment for Biden very soon.  He should be impeached for his corruption and Hunters laptop.  Even if he is not impeached he should not be allowed to run again for President.  He is far too old and he is not near as athletic or in as good a shape as President Trump.  Biden is senile and can’t even speak a coherent sentence by himself. A good example is that he can’t ride a bicycle without falling off. On a darker note, he is probably also a child molester. You can tell this by just looking at him and seeing how he fawns over small children and babies. 
President Trump’s doctor has declared him to be in better physical shape than any President in recent history.  President Trump is a real man, a he-man not a wimpy old guy like Biden.  President Trump is and will be a strong President, hopefully for life. He is God’s promised one and he will lead our nation on to greatness.  President

Our President has given us a promise and he is now fulfilling all that he has promised.  I watch Fox and I have learned quite a bit  from the research that they have provided me with. 
Our President is in the process of passing his “Big Beautiful Bill.” We will finally be rid of the abomination called Obama Care and replaced it with something better. We will rid our nation of criminals and hoards of foreign gangs that have infiltrated our society from the south. Our President’s tariffs will insure a resurgence of American Industry and America will become prosperous again.
President Trump is making sure that we will no longer become a nation of “Welfare Queens” but a prosperous nation of working people. No longer will we have generations of families living off the government. By stopping the government from giving children free food at school, Parents will again take on the responsibility of feeding their own children. Americans will become responsible again and not expect a nanny government to take care of them. 
President Trump will not cut Medicaid, but will just make sure that people work for what they get and be willing to fill out the necessary paperwork.
People need to know that President Trump has a big heart and cares for all of America. He wants to see our nation prosper and become great again. We all need to be patient and give our President time to make this happen. We all need to work with him. Together we can lend our patriotic support to our President.
God is with our President and if we are with him, then God will be with us as well.
God bless America.

I am very concerned about what is happening to our country, now that Trump’s “Big bad bill” has been sent back to the house and will soon see the President’s signature. This bill calls for a 13-fold increase in ICE’s budget, turning it into the largest single (secret, masked) police force in America, along with, in aggregate, close to $100 billion to build a new series of “detention facilities” all across America. Trump is bragging about his Florida holding facility and is calling it “Alligator Alcatraz.” In truth it should be called “Alligator Auschwitz”, since it is not a holding facility, but a concentration camp designed to be cruel, inhumane and demeaning to the people held there. 
Trump’s Bill includes a tax cut that will primarily benefit the morbidly wealthy and will raise 4 trillion dollars less than our existing tax system. This bill will add 3.3 trillion to our National debt. It will also insure major cuts to existing programs like the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid and SNAP. Millions of Americans will be denied health care and many adults and children will die because of this. 
Never before in the history of this nation, has Congress ever passed something as stupid, cruel or expensive as this piece of legislation. 
While the very rich get richer, we should look forward to the lives of working people becoming worse.  My hope is that our democracy and nation will still be able to survive Trump.

Everyday, I read or hear about things that make me proud of my President. I listened to his address to the NATO leaders in the Hague. I was so proud, that it almost made the buttons pop off of my shirt. Our President stopped the evil Iranians from producing an atomic bomb. He helped the military engineer a military strike that totally destroyed their ability to ever build a bomb. He did it quickly and easily and without our losing a single airplane or a single person. 
He did not stop with Iran. President Trump is the worlds best deal maker and he made a deal with both the Iranians and the Israelis to cease fire. Not just stop, but permanently stop fighting with each other. If this isn’t genius, then I don’t know what it is.  
President Trump warned us about the fake news. He told us that we should not believe them when they say our President isn’t a success. They are just jealous of his abilities and they want to minimize all of the great things that he is now accomplishing. 
Now we need to make sure that that Congress passes our President’s  big beautiful bill. House Majority Leader Mike Johnson assured us that the Big Beautiful Bill will not hurt Medicaid or Medicare one bit. We need to ignore the fake news and what they are saying about this. Mike Johnson is a Christian, so we should know that he is telling the truth.  
President Trump has brilliantly brought peace to our nation and his Presidency will go down in history as one of the best in the history of our nation.
Let us all thank God for President Trump and be thankful that God is using him to bless America.

We just delivered some fresh beans and peas to the food bank. They need donations to make up for a lack of Federal help.
Trump, who ran as “The peace President,” outdid himself on Tuesday. He bombed Iran without getting permission or giving any prior notification to Congress. He informed Republican members after the fact and didn’t bother to inform any of the Democrats. This action was clearly unconstitutional. No President in history has ever done this before. 
Trump bragged that he totally destroyed Iran’s nuclear storage and completely wiped out Iran’s nuclear capability to produce enriched uranium. 
Sadly, none of this is true. Intelligence sources say all we did was damage the facilities entrances and most of their nuclear facilities are still intact. It would appear that Trump’s people are not very security minded and the Iranians moved their enriched uranium stock piles well before the US attack. 
Trump also announced that he has arranged for a permanent cease fire between Israel and Iraq. Evidently none of this is true either, since both countries are still dropping bombs on each other. 
The thing is who do you believe? Trump or reality? 
Perhaps all of Trumps pronouncements are designed to take the public’s eyes off of his big awful bill in Congress. His bill will cut Medicaid, end insurance coverage for 16 million people and cause the deaths of at least 31 thousand people. People will die, our nation will be hurt and our entire way of life will suffer.
All so that he can give a tax break to the morbidly rich people who financed his campaign. Trump is the most venial, corrupt President in the history of our nation. For the right price, you can become a citizen, get a criminal pardon, or a military commission. 
He has declared himself dictator and my worry is that we may never be able to get rid of him or his MAGA Scourge.

I was disgusted with all the left wingers with their signs. They are so stupid, that they can’t see all the good that our President is doing for our nation. Sometimes it take a strong hand and a man willing to be a temporary dictator who can save our nation. 
People don’t realize that it was Biden’s failed policies that have forced businesses to increase the prices on things that they sell. People need to be patient. President Trump will bring business back to America, lower our prices, and bring about world peace.
They don’t realize that it was God’s plan for us to be gifted with Donald Trump. 
I am sorry to hear about Vance Boelter. They caught him, and I don’t, by any means, condone what he did, but I do understand his motivations.  Vance is a very religious man and an ordained Assembly of God Minister. He was frustrated and appalled by all the thousands of babies in his state that are being killed by abortionists. He loved the little babies and wanted to go after the evil people who are allowing and making abortion in his state possible. When he shot and killed these people he knew in his heart that he was doing God’s work. 
I am sorry that he didn’t have a more peaceful way to accomplish his God given mission, and I can only pray that the authorities will try to understand and show him mercy. 
When they Sentence him, perhaps President Trump will be willing to commute his sentence, like he did for the January 6th hostages, so that he can go back to doing God’s work in a kinder and more gentle way. 
I am looking forward to a better and brighter future
God bless America.

Smokey is still working at the St. Johns Restaurant as “Acting” Manager and is seemingly loving it. He says that it is lots easier than school and having to study for exams all the time. 
I and my kids were pleased to hold up a “No Kings” signs on Highway 30 on Saturday. We had a good crowd there and we stood on both sides of Gable Road. People honked at us and waved at us and over all appeared to be very supportive. 
It was fun exercising our Constitutional rights, and it gave me an opportunity to give my kids a fun civics lesson as well. 
I am appalled by what is happening with an out of control, would be Dictator, seemingly running our country. Trump’s ICE first tried to arrest a US Representative in New Jersy, and the City's Mayor for doing their job. They handcuffed California’s Senior Senator Alex Padilla in his own office building for trying to ask a Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem a question; and then on Tuesday masked ICE agents arrested New York City Comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander.  Lander made the mistake of asking them if they had a warrant as he was escorting some people out of New York’s Immigration Court. 
It is my belief that ICE does not have the legal authority to arrest a US Citizen who asks them if they have a judicial warrant. It would appear that this administration does not care about the law or our Constitution. 
I hope that there are fewer crazies like that Trump loving murderer in Minnesota and more people who love peace and believe in  America and our democratic system of government. 
I do hope our nation is able to survive.

It is disgusting, but I found out on OAN that many of the left wing Insurrectionists are being paid by the Governor of California and the Mayor of Los Angeles. 
President Trump should have our Justice Department arrest these traitorous officials. 
I am pleased to see our patriotic ICE agents are, still carrying out their duty in arresting dangerous aliens and will be protected by the Marines and National Guard so that they can be deported or sent off to various prisons.
We need to be patient, but President Trump is a business genius and knows what he is doing. We will soon be experiencing a new golden age and America will become great again. I trust our President and you should trust him too.

Our garden is growing and we are almost ready to harvest our beans and peas. 
Smokey is acting as manager for the St. Johns restaurant. The regular manager’s National Guard unit has been activated by the President. There are two other Assistant Managers, one is new and the other is ill. Smokey does not seem to be having any problems, since he has managed several of the companies restaurants (including the one he is in now). 
The people in Los Angeles are not happy with Trump activating the national guard and illegally calling up the Marines. Trump told everyone that he was going to go after felons and other dangerous people. The people are demonstrating against ICE arresting and kidnapping students, kids and people looking for jobs. ICE is going after hard working people who are not a danger to anyone. Many deportees are people who were here legally under our asylum laws, a number had Green cards or were going to school on Student Visas. Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephan Miller, set deportation quotas and has threatened people with being fired if they do not meet his deportation goals. I just heard on the news that they are getting prisoners ready for deportation to Guantanamo. They are also setting up a number of private, for profit, prisons to house non citizens.  In the meantime Los Angeles has just been listed as one of several other cities where Trump plans to use military force against potential protesters. All of this is still in violation of the Posse comitatus Act. 
It is evident that Trump does not care about the law and is looking for ways to consolidate his power and suppress democracy.

I am impressed with how much time Elon Musk put in to eliminate waste fraud and abuse in our government. Elon Musk’s DOGE did a good job in getting rid of all the useless drones who were dragging our government down and wasting our hard earned tax money.  
While getting rid of waste fraud and abuse, Elon Musk delt the “Deep State” a killing blow. 
 I have to admit that I feel so much safer now that our President is deporting criminals, vagrants and other desirables. I am pleased to let others know that I believe that President Trump is doing a good job working hard to protect our nation.
The lefties are screaming their heads off about “due process.”  What they don’t seem to realize is that if everyone of these illegals were to be given a court trial, our President would not be able to meet any of his promised goals. I want to be safe and my President is working hard to make us all safe. The lefties are all screaming about tariff’s and a tax cut for all of our job creators. They may hurt at first, but our nation will be stronger because of them.

Smokey is working at the St. Johns restaurant and seems to be enjoying not having to spend his time studying for tests.  He leaves here at 6:00 AM and if we are lucky if he will get back before 7:00 PM.  Yesterday, he was on the phone most of the evening solving problems for his workers.  He is enjoying his work, but the kids and I aren’t all that happy about it. 
I heard that Trump’s Deputy chief of Staff, Stephan Miller, has demanded that ICE deport 3000 people a day. He says that he will fire people if they do not meet that goal. 
Trump said that he was only going to go after criminals, but it would appear with all this pressure being put on immigration employees, they will be going after green card holders, waitresses, students, and others who are unlucky enough to be grabbed by Trump’s masked secret police. These people will be deported without any due process and put into makeshift concentration camps and prisons. 
I noticed that it is raining today. I read that we can no longer trust our weather forecasts. DOGE has fired many veteran weather forecasters. NOAA has lost over 2000 employees since January.  The National Weather Service also has been similarly hurt.
The head of FEMA is a former martial arts instructor and when questioned said that he never heard of a “hurricane season.” 
The FAA also has lost better than a third of their employees. We now have a shortage of air traffic controllers. I think flying may no longer be as safe as it used to be. 
It is obvious that the Trump Administration is determined to see that good government does not work… at least not for the people of the United States. 
This is not the America that I was brought up to believe in, and I doubt what Trump and his cronies are doing is Constitutional.

I was disappointed seeing non elected activist judges trying to derail the Trump agenda. I have never heard of the court of International trade and I don’t see why they need to interfere with our President’s Tariffs. The Tariffs are there to make money for America and to make it possible to bring manufacturing back to the United States. The Tariffs will lower the deficit, lower our taxes and bring jobs back to America.  
We don’t need activist judges working to derail our President’s successful programs.
The left wing commie demos are all butt hurt over Qatar’s offer to give our President a free airplane. Our President needs a new airplane and deserves this gift. We should be thankful that he is loved and respected by other countries. These countries want to show their appreciation and we need to be gracious enough to accept their gifts. 
Our President is a very hard worker, he has done more in the last few months than most presidents have done in their entire terms of office.

Smokey is on Summer break. He has finished all his finals and his employer has immediately put him back to work as a temporary Manager at their St. Johns restaurant. 
I guess, I will still be writing his blog. 
Yesterday the US Court of International Trade ruled that Trump’s Tariffs were Illegal and that they were to cease immediately. It was a three Judge panel, one appointed by Reagan, another by Obama, and the third by Trump himself. 
Then Today, in an order from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit they’ve postponed  some of Trump Tariffs.  They provided no opinion or reasoning but directed the plaintiffs in the case to respond by June 5 and the administration by June 9th. According to Reuters, US business’s have lost over 34 billion dollars because of Trumps on and off again Tariffs. 
All of this is still destined to be appealed to the US Supreme Court and, even though the Constitution is very clear that only Congress has the authority to establish Tariffs, one still wonders what they will decide. 
I recently learned that the Presidents 747 was not given to him as a surprise gift, Trump asked for it. He told them that he wanted them to “Give it to him.”  The airplane is 20 years old. Qatar has wanted to unload it for quite some time. The plane has been sitting in a US Airport for well over a year, hoping that some wealthy person would buy it. The airplane will also take around a billion dollars in taxpayer money to be refitted so that it can serve as Air Force One. It will be given to the President’s Museum foundation. It is Trump’s  plans to use it as his personal airplane, after he is no longer President.
I do hope that we will have another election in a few years.  
The damage that Trump and his MAGA crowd have done in the last few months will take many years to undo. I hope that we will be able to bring Democracy back again.

I voted for good conservative school Board members. I particularly liked Reni Nowling. She had the moral strength to take a strong stand against teaching DEI and Critical Race Theory. She does not want any of our children to be brainwashed by our schools. We believe in freedom of expression and not fake black history designed to make children ashamed of their white heritage. 
I am thankful that President Trump’s Justice department has recognized Ashli Babbit, a true martyr. She stood up in opposition to  a crooked election and was killed as a result of her stand. Justice will provide some compensation to her family. They will never see her again, but helping her family will provide some help to right the wrong that they did to her. I expect to see a permanent memorial to Ashli for her brave actions. 
The Demo’s all have their noses out of joint because they discovered that they just can’t go around interfering with our government’s program in stopping illegal immigration. Under President’ Trump, we will no longer have open borders and we will no longer have a swarm of brown vermin stealing jobs while taking our public welfare funds, all the while bringing disease and crime to our nation. The Mayor of New Jersy discovered this last week, as well as three of his left leaning black Congress toadies. 
Jail time my friends. 
Best way to stop them from interfering with our President’s lawful programs.

Last night Smokey and I voted. We hand carried our ballots to the Court House and used their drop box. 
I was disgusted that we have a School Board candidate that seems to think that our school was teaching “DEI” (Diversity, equity and Inclusion).  How do you teach equal opportunity hiring procedures to school kids. The silly lady may be confusing DEI with CRT (Critical race theory). CRT is taught only as a law school graduate level course in some Universities and has never ever been taught in any public school.
I was not impressed when I recently read that Trump’s Department of Justice awarded the family of  Ashli Babbit almost five million dollars in damages.  Ashli was one of the January 6th criminals who broke into Congress, damaged windows, doors, defecated on the floors, defaced art, beat up and killed police and threatened the lives of our Congressional representatives. They did this as an attempt to prevent the completion of a lawful election. Ashli was shot when she was commanded by an armed guard to stop. She refused to comply, and had what looked like a weapon in her hands. She was part of a group of rioters that were responsible for the deaths of four Capital police officers and hospitalized over 140 more of them.
In the meantime, they have arrested New Jersy Rep LaMonica McIver when she attempted to do her job to investigate a Private Immigrant incarceration facility in her state.  Trump’s US Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba gleefully claimed on Monday McIver had “assaulted, impeded, and interfered with law enforcement” and charged her with a federal crime.  There exists no evidence to back any of this up and video seems to contradict Habba’s claims. 
Trump is rewarding friends and trying to jail people who he does not like. 
I wonder how long the American people will stand for a criminal President abusing our laws and our Constitution?

God bless America, the GOP and God’s anointed, our President, Donald Trump.
I have said it before, and I will say it again. Our President is the worlds greatest deal maker and ever so smart.  He just negotiated a 600 billion dollar deal with the Saudi’s and a two billion dollar deal with Quatar. He is making money for America and making us safer in the process. 
President Trump is also working to lower the costs of prescription drugs. He has presented a plan that will require drug companies to match prescription drug prices in foreign countries. 
Earlier this month President Trump signed an Executive order cancelling funds for PBS and NPR. No one listens to them anymore and public broadcasting has outlived its usefulness. It makes no sense to support a radio network that works against our government and is critical of the greatest president in US history.  We believe in listening to real news on FOX, OAN, News Max, and The Blaze. They always tell the truth. PBS and most Network news, like CNN only produce left wing propaganda. They tell lies and people believe them and never bother to fact check what they hear by listening to real stuff on Fox News. 
I am so thankful that we have Donald Trump as our leader. He is the best thing that has happened to America since Ronald Reagen. God is on our side and Donald Trump is God’s gift to us all.  
God bless America.

I am looking forward to our garden producing fresh food for the food bank, since Trump has cut over a billion food dollars for food banks and schools. Poor kids may no longer be able to get a breakfast when they come to school and there will be no surplus food for food pantries. 
President Trump has been bragging about the billions of dollars in deals that he has made with Saudi Arabia.  He lied about the total amount, but most of this money will go to buy weapons; some will also go to enrich his friends and his own family. 
Trump is also bragging about cutting the cost of prescription drugs. He says he wants to bring our costs down to what other countries are paying.  What he also plans to ask other countries to raise the cost of their drugs.  I guess that way he can say we aren’t charging any more than other countries for our drugs? There is nothing in Trump’s Executive Order to enforce anything. I see it as a scam designed to generate fake publicity, not something to help working American citizens. 
Quatar just gave President Trump a 400 million dollar gift, a fancy flying palace.  He says that he will make it his new Air Force 1. Quatar is one of the primary arms supplier for Hamas and Houthi rebels. This may be the largest bribe that any American President has ever received. Possibly as a result of this bribe we just gave them a 2 billion dollar contract for drones and advanced weapons, which may also be going to Hamas and the Houthis. 
There is no question about it, this President is for sale. For sale to whoever is the highest bidder. 
Most people would go to jail, but this President now has a blank check from the Supreme court to do what ever he wants to do, and we have a Congress that will let him get away with what ever crimes he commits. 
God help us.

I am so proud of our President. He is the worlds best deal maker and is probably the smartest President in modern history. He met with Canada’s Prime Minister and pretty much told him how the world works. President Trump let Carny know that we are not fools and have a good enough grasp of economics to know that Canada is ripping us off and it needs to stop. He wants that country to pay NATO what it owes. Canada pays less than 1% of its GDP on defense and seems to expect the US to protect it. This may not continue unless they do the wise thing and annex themselves to the USA as our 51st state. 
If they join us, they would pay less taxes and benefit immensely.
We would be able to save them from the threat of Russian and Chinese ships that are now surrounding them. 
Canada would get free military, tremendous medical care (where they would not have to wait as long as they do now). As President Trump said, it would be a wonderful marriage, and that artificial line, that someone drew, would have no meaning anymore.   
If the Canadians were in their right minds, they would jump at all the advantages that being a new state would gain for them. 
Canada, along with Greenland, would do much to make America great again. 
Our President is very wise and we all need to get down on our knees and thank God for allowing him to rule our nation. It is a shame that he is not Catholic, because he would make a great Pope, since he is a wonderful religious leader. 
We are so much safer, better and stronger because of President Donald Trump.
God bless America.

Smokey is hitting the books hard, Rosie is in Kindergarten and Sean is having a great time in Middle School. I have been helping with the garden and we are already seeing plants popping up. We have had a lot of moisture and have not had to do any irrigating. 
I see that King Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and has tried to impress him with a number of crude lies.  For example Trump said that we don’t do much business with Canada. According to CNN, Canada bought more of our exports in February and March than any other country. In January they were second only to Mexico in purchases from the US. In 2024, Canada was the top destination for our exports as well as the third largest source of our imports. He also told the lie that we are subsidizing Canada to $200 billion a year. The real figure is 36 billion, not 200, and it is not a subsidy, but an exchange. Trump also, on Sunday, made false claims about Canada spending less on their military than they really do. According to NBC It’s not true that Canada is the lowest military spender in NATO or “practically” the world’s lowest military spender. Official NATO estimates show that, of the 31 alliance members with a standing army, Canada had the eighth-highest defense spending in absolute terms in 2024. Canada is the 6th largest contributor to NATO’s common funding pool.
Trump claimed that Canada charges some of the highest tariffs in the world. In truth out of 137 countries, they rank 102nd, making them one of the lowest tariff countries. 
Trump also said that the Canadians would like to become our 51st state, to which Carney replied that “Canada is not for sale.” 
Overall Carney was much nicer than Trump and seemed to have a better grasp of economics, reality and factual knowledge than our President. 
Trump is not only crooked and mean, but ignorant, incompetent and a national embarrassment. I hope that our nation will survive his wanton destruction or our economy and our democracy.

God bless America, the GOP and God’s anointed, our President, Donald Trump. Our President has been in office for 100 days and he has already done marvelous things.  He has done more in three months than many other presidents have done in eight years. 
For years other countries have been ripping us off and now we can expect to see industry moving back to the United States. 
Our tariffs will save our industry, our nation and put a stop to overseas cheap slave labor. 
Trump is saving America and revitalizing our country. He is saving us from the mess that Biden created by cancelling DEI, limiting government waste fraud and abuse, and pulling the bad actors out of the deep state. We no longer have to worry about government bureaucrats restricting what we can do with our lives. It is about time that government gets out of our lives. We can once again be able to put our children back to work.  No more will we have child labor restrictions. We can now ban abortion, gay and trans people and books that subvert our children. 
Only under Donald Trump have we been able to have a government department of religion. America, will once again, be a Christian nation. 
President Trump is ridding our country of people who are here illegally. He is deporting criminals, and people who are crazy, and those who are critical of our nation and our system of government. 
I expect to see a new golden age arise. Our county, our nation will be great again and we will be able to exhibit our national pride to the rest of the world. 
God bless America.

Our garden looks great and I hope to see us shipping fresh food to the Columbia Pacific Food Bank. Food banks need our help; they have been cut by $6,000,000 in Federal aide as well as 4,000,000 pounds of food have been withdrawn from USDA by the Trump people. 
I was astonished to learn about a family in Oklahoma City where armed ICE agents mistakenly crashed into their home in the middle of the night. The ICE agents forced the mother and three girls to wait in their underwear in the rain outside while they took their home apart, confiscated their phones, electronics, and their life savings in cash. 
This was a family of American Citizens who just moved from Maryland. They were given no receipts, no business cards and no way to get their belongings, and their money back. The immigration people identified themselves as US Marshals, FBI, and ICE. The victims of this mistaken invasion, were unable to get any of these three agencies to acknowledge their actions. 
https://www.yahoo.com/news/citizens-oklahoma-city-family-traumatized-111500705.html
From what I can see,  Trump’s thugs are deporting people who are legally here, as well as American Citizens, without bothering to give anyone due process. 
Trump has fired Immigration Judges and now says that we can’t give everyone a trial, and immigrants don’t deserve due process.  Evidently, this may also apply to American citizens as well, since we have some who have been deported and a few may be sitting in one of Trump’s foreign prisons. 
For some reason Trump seems to think that his tariffs won’t raise prices; and he does not want anyone to say that they do.  He has threatened Amazon’s Jeff Bezo’s to not show itemized costs of Tariffs on the items that he sells. 
Trump is a corrupt criminal, who lacks understanding, or compassion. He is destroying our government, our economy and is working hard to plunge our nation and the rest of the world into a major depression. 
If you MAGA people have any smarts, you should be experiencing buyers remorse as a result of your leaders actions. .

I went to Tigard, to look at Tesla’s. There were still scary people hanging around the dealership. I understand that George Soros is paying these sign carrying thugs to picket his cars and scare people away. I am not scared, and I still might buy one of those electric cars. .
I was very impressed by our Christian President’s Easter message. After hearing the wonderful things he has said, no one can deny his love of God or his desire to make our country great again. He give a powerful and uplifting message and a promise to help keep us all safe from the criminals, murders, drug lords and crazies that have been dumped into our country. 
The liberals are all wining about that Garcia guy. He was an undocumented alien and was proved to be a member of the notorious MS13 gang.  He was a threat to his family,  neighbors, and community. I understand that his wife must now feel safe knowing that he is gone and not able to cause harm to other. I know all about this guy because I heard about it on Fox instead of the liberal media.
I am always pleased to hear our President. I believe in his promise to lower prices, taxes, bring manufacturing back and maker our country great again. I know that we need to be patient, but his tariffs will be the tool that will save America and generate more money than we can ever imagine for our nation. 
Keep the faith, remember God is on our side.  God bless America.

Our kids got more than their share of Easter Candy, enough that they were able to actually share some with their parents.  Our garden is plowed and pretty much planted and we are looking forward to sharing the produce with our neighbors and the food bank.
I was curious to see what sort of a message that our President would give on Easter. I didn’t listen to him, but I did read his words on the Internet. At first he started with a normal Easter greeting, but then he doubled down into political bloviating.  He said that Biden was the worst President in History and he was responsible for flooding America with millions of “Criminals Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country.” 
This is the sort of message that a liar,  adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, and possible traitor would make. None of Trump’s claims has been shown to be true, and Biden’s deportations surpassed Trump’s 2019 deportation records.
What he said is not the sort of Easter message to a nation one would ever expect.
In the meantime, Trump is kidnapping and deporting, innocent people, not dangerous criminals. He is picking on students as well as family men, women and children looking for a place to be safe and free. Unlike Biden, who insisted on “due process”, the people that Trump is scooping up, deporting and sending to prison’s often have Green Cards, Papers, and legal protections. All of which have been ignored by his ICE thugs. Even the worst of the worst deserve “due process.” These people do not deserve being sent to a life (or death) in a foreign gulag or Concentration Camp. 
What we have is a criminal rogue President who is ignoring the courts, the laws, and human decency.
Who ever thought  America would ever come to this?

God bless America, the GOP and God’s anointed, our President, Donald Trump. My hippy neighbors are plowing their Commie garden. I get sick thinking about the “Woke” nonsense that they are trying to feed our kids with their communist ideas. 
The Russians tried communal farms and people died as a result of their crazy communist ideas. 
People don’t seem to understand the importance of President Trump’s Tariffs. Given enough time, the tariffs will raise enough money so that President Trump will be able to eliminate income taxes altogether. The tariffs will pay for themselves and we all will benefit. 
I am thankful that President Trump and DOGE are cutting the size of our bloated government. This too will save Americans money and make our government much more efficient. 
I am also pleased to see our President making true his promise to rid our nation of illegals, many of whom are criminals and terrorists.
The liberal media has been circulating sob stories about this Garcia guy who was sent to a prison in El Salvadore.  Why they should complain about a person who is clearly a terrorist and a member of the MS13 gang is beyond me.  
I feel so much safer knowing that people like him, as well as Arab terrorist students, are being expeditiously jailed, instead of freely roaming our streets creating chaos. 
Making America Great will take more than a few months. President Trump’s programs will  make or nation safer and ultimately more prosperous, but we need to be patient and be willing to give our President more time.
Remember that God is on our side and we are doing God’s work
God bless America.

My neighbor from across the street used our tractor to plow and work the soil for our community garden. We started planting today and we hope to have enough produce for our neighbors with extra for the food bank.  
Trump and DOGE have nationally cut money for all the food banks throughout the USA. I hope that we can still help local people fight hunger.
The Trump administration has kidnapped, jailed, and/or deported a number of people, some college students on Student visas and others who are green card holders and legal permanent residents. I read in the news that  kilmar Abrego Garcia was snatched out of his car with his own kids sitting in the back seat and sent to the CECOT concentration camp in El Salvadore. The Trump Administration Lawyers admitted that he was kidnapped by accident.  Garcia was accused, without evidence of gang membership.  Garcia is married to an American Citizen and they have three children. Garcia has no criminal record in the USA or anywhere else. He is a sheet metal worker and a valued employee. His wife actually voted for Trump. So far, Trump is ignoring court orders demanding his return. The Trump people are now circulating lies insisting that Garcia is a terrorist and a member of the El Salvador gang MS13 even though they have no proof of anything like this. Garcia isn’t the only one who is innocent and it is estimated that 75% of the people sent to be jailed in El Salvadore are innocent.  
Trump’s cruelty is disgusting. He is ignoring orders from the Supreme Court to release Garcia from CECOT, a camp that they brag “no one ever leaves.  Trump is paying Nayib Bukele, the El Salvador Dictator, $80,000 a year for each prisoner we send him.  He also has mentioned that he hopes to send Americans to foreign prisons as well. 
None of this is legal, right, or the sort of thing that Americans should be allowed to do.

The stupid neighbors are trying to plow a garden and they don’t seem to realize that it is still too wet. I don’t know why they are doing it, since they give away most of what they produce.
I saw a bunch of crazy wackos demonstration along the Highway in Scappoose. Those people are really dumb, they don’t understand all the things our President and DOGE are doing to help our country.
I am pleased to see our President working hard to rebuild industry in the USA. The President’s Tariffs were a genius stroke, since they will encourage new or renewed industry and provide our country with fabulous income. We are all hoping that we can use tariff money to reduce our taxes along with providing a further incentive for domestic industrial development. 
Our country has an abundance of coal and it is virtually an unused resource. With coal we can provide our nation with low cost clean power and heat. The use of the Defense Production act to encourage its’ use was a great idea. 
I love President Trump, because he is a genius and he uses other geniuses like Elon Musk, Peter Navarro, John Kennedy and Dr. Oz as advisers. He knows how to pick the right people for the right jobs. 
Donald Trump really has a plan and really knows how to make America great again. It may take a bit of time, and it may, at times, be painful. But we need to be understanding and patient, because things will eventually be much, much better for us all.
God bless America.

The Demonstration at the Scappoose Totem Pole was an outstanding success.  We had over 300 people standing up for America. I expect to see more people exercising their First Amendment rights in the future. 
Nice weather today and tomorrow. The neighbors are planning to start planting our community garden. We have almost an acre of ground on which we have allowed the neighbors to plant a community garden. The produce is there for the neighbors and the food bank. Smokey and I see this as a way to share with the community and help others.
I see that President Trump has decided to use the Defense production Act to encourage more mining of dirty coal by constructing more coal power pants. He is doing this to enhance the profits of coal mine owning campaign contributors. 
During Trump’s first term he was opposed to using this same act to manufacture needed ventilators to save the lives of Covid victims. Trump seems to be opposed to other energy sources like wind, wave, solar, geothermal and nuclear. 
I guess that Trump and his Republicans followers think that enhancing contributor profits are  much more important than saving human lives.
I am also concerned that Trump is moving B-2 Stealth bombers to bases along the Indian Ocean were they can easily attack Iran. Trump is also moving a carrier strike force along with carrier Carl Vincent to Greenland. 
My fear is that Trump wants to provoke a war so that he can grab even more emergency powers and use a war as an excuse for a third term. 
I am sad, and I keep on feeling that I am now living in 1937 Germany and not 21st Century USA.
