Election

Yet Again

In recent history, there have been 3 elections causing massive controversy.

1. George Bush and Al Gore (hanging chads)

2. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton (I can't believe she didn't win, they screamed)

3. Donald Trump and Joe Biden (Outcome yet to be seen)

What Now

When you hold an election, whether for a seat on your high school counsel or the Federal government, you expect a clean vote.

As soon as the Democrats started talking about mail ballots and getting this started as soon as possible, you know something was afoot.  The post office said that they would be overwhelmed.  The virus, stay at home, mail in ballots.  What could go wrong.

It is about the USA and how we are above board on all that we do to ensure that our elections are fair and concise.

You must be a citizen to vote.  Period.

You must vote only once.  Period.

You must show ID to prove who you are and the ID must match you.  Period.

In the days when we seemed to have better values we did not question these things.  Today the idea that you must be a citizen to vote is outrageous.  The open borders people believe that everyone is welcome to vote.  Bulls**t.

Even the dead are voting.

People are screaming and yelling that the election is being stolen and other people are screaming and yelling that the election was fair.

Be Prepared

I do not advocate violence.  You must be prepared to deal with what other people may throw at you.  Never go offensive, always defensive.  Ensure you have both the moral high ground and a firm defensible position.

Be that guy or gal that protects family from that which has already stated violence against people who oppose them.  They must go through you to get to your family.  Make that impossible for them to achieve.

Understand that the law of the land will shift in favor of those who bring an ideology that will be diametrically opposed to what you believe in.  The Constitution is the law, not the court, not the government.  They will attempt to bend it.

The government by its' very existence did not create the constitution. That is a chicken or the egg argument.  The people created the constitution before there was a government.  The constitution and the people granted power to create a government.  The courts interpret law, the government enforces law.  The people create law.

Somehow we putz'd that up.  We also stopped teaching Civics in school.

Doctor, Doctor, give me the news

Our healthcare will go through some drastic changes and what we may be forced to do is not good for us.  So many people confuse healthcare with insurance.  The battle of Obamacare was not about what care you get from the doctor of your choice, but what insurance you are able to purchase.

The Exchange is where Obama and Congress thought many, is not all, would go the buy their healthcare plan.  It is insurance!  Many insurance companies did not want to alter their way of doing business just to enter the Exchange.  So, many of the insurance companies dropped their Individual insurance plans.

That forced many people to go the the Exchange for insurance.  The price was amazingly high and you generally did not get to keep your doctor.  The marketplace for the insurance companies became group insurance.  This is where you get your insurance from your employer.  Most people get their insurance this way.  Imagine if this goes away.......

The Other Guys

China and Russia.  On one side of our politics is hate China and tolerate Russia.  On the other side is hate Russia and embrace China.  Pick your poison.

Russians have always be paranoid.  The country started officially in 900 AD or so with an invasion by the Vikings.  Overturns, coups, war, and kings/queens have kept the place suspicious of all outsiders.  Then the communists came from within.  Lenin 1917.

The Chinese have been around for 5000 years.  Their society has changed many times over the years with kings and emperors and dynasties and war and struggle. Then the communists came from within.  A vacuum was created by the Japanese retreat.  Mao 1945.

Nikita Khrushchev said that the US will be taken from within and the Soviets won't have to fire a shot.  They started with our education system and spread to our media.  Then they spread to our government.  Now they are here.

So do we learn to speak Russian, Chinese, or maybe French.  I think French is far easier and spelling words in French just makes sense.  Could you imagine our road signs in Cyrillic?  

Well, screw me.

Eh bien, baise-moi.

Ну, к черту меня

Hǎo ba, gǎo zá wǒ

So, I guess you have to make some decisions this upcoming year.  And make sure you choose wisely.  Others have been educated to choose against you.

Fair seas and following winds.
