So here is a quick summary of how the tv news got where it is.  After concluding with Fox News stabbing its conservative in the back on election night the writer concludes that NewsMax and OANN will now be able to make a lot of money catering to the former viewers of Fox News.  Very true.  If Fox wants to lose their viewership then someone else will benefit.  Let’s hope that Tucker and a few others migrate to a new home that does appreciate our patronage.  We can use a reliable source of news.

I saw this headline on OANN and thought, “there’s a Republican with a brain.”

Fla. Gov. DeSantis Proposes Expanded ‘Stand Your Ground’ Law Aimed At Looting

Good for DeSantis.  Any state that wants to start getting out from under the thumb of the Leftists will have to figure ways to protect its citizens from prosecution by local jurisdictions like what happened in St. Louis to those homeowners trying to protect their home from the mob.

My takeaway, replace any Fox News links with OANN links.

Relax and Don’t Borrow Trouble Until You Have To

For the second time in a week I’ve been lectured about how hopeless the election lawsuits are.  Now there is no way of knowing how things will turn out.  But assuming the worst doesn’t make sense to me.  I’ll let the President and his advisors do everything they can to straighten out this mess.  And if it works out in our favor then we’ll have great laugh about all this.  And if it goes against us then we’ll have to start figuring what will be best for us in a country that cheats its people out of their God given rights.  But why should I have to assume we can’t win?    That’s the same talk I heard back in 2016 from the same people.  Now maybe they’re right this time.  But I’ll be damned if I’m going to make that my default opinion.

One thing it’s interesting to see is who were our real friends and who turned out to be skunks.  And right on cue Fox News turns out to be populated by leftists and corporate shills who went out of their way to stab the President in the back whenever and wherever they could.  Tucker Carlson and the few real Americans left there should think long and hard about exiting for a better option.  Of course, that’s the problem with the Left owning all the media.  We were dependent on Fox to provide an alternative.  Any start up might not be able to pay high earners like Carlson the salaries they are used to.

But remember, President Trump is in charge at least into January.  That is plenty of time to decide how dire our circumstances are and to make whatever provisions are possible.  In the meantime, live your life and enjoy the season and the holidays that are approaching to whatever extent the COVID secret police will allow you.  And don’t let it all be ruined even before it begins.  I intend to have some turkey with stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, buttered rolls and candied yams.  I’ll have pumpkin, apple, strawberry rhubarb, cocoanut custard and blueberry pies available for the proceedings and I intend to watch the March of the Wooden Soldiers and Gulliver’s Travels with my two-year-old granddaughter for the first time.  We’ll sit around and the women will prepare the food and we’ll all talk about family and the things we plan to do before it gets too cold and snowy to accomplish.  And we’ll talk about the folks who aren’t around anymore and those who couldn’t be here because of the COVID foolishness.  But I sure as hell don’t intend to turn my life into a funeral because gangsters are planning to take over the country.  If it turns out that they’ve won I’ll make my plans based on that but I’ll be no worse off than my ancestors who had to deal with the Mafia and the petty aristocracy that ran Italy back in the nineteenth century.  My hope is that Americans are too stubborn to be turned into serfs.  Maybe I’m right about that or maybe I’m wrong.  But time will tell.  Let’s let the act play out.

11NOV2020 – Veteran’s Day – Some Quotes For the Day

photog Current Events, Quote of the Day ,

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.

General George S. Patton

 

The patriot volunteer, fighting for country and his rights, makes the most reliable soldier on earth.

Stonewall Jackson

 

Oh, it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ ‘Tommy, go away’;

But it’s ‘Thank you, Mister Atkins’, when the band begins to play—

The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,

Oh, it’s ‘Thank you, Mister Atkins,’ when the band begins to play.

Rudyard Kipling

10NOV2020 – OCF Update

photog Current Events, OCF , ,

As I mentioned recently I’m waiting for the Supreme Court’s decision on the President’s petitions to question the votes in the various states where fraud was most egregious.  I’m not questioning the status of honest government in the US.  That’s all settled in this banana republic of a country.  What I want to know first is whether there’s any hope of repairing some of the damage by legal means.  Once I know that I’ll be able to speak about what the paths forward look like for me.

I will say now that the idea that anyone thinks Joe Biden could be the president is an absurdity that is more damning than the fraud that his partisans were willing to commit with impunity.  Joe Biden is an abomination in more than one sense.  Not since Caligula elevated his horse to the rank of senator has a less qualified and more repugnant candidate been presented to the much suffering people of this planet.

In less distressing news, I finally got a copy of Jim Butcher’s latest volume in the Dresden Files series, “Peace Talks.”  This is, I believe the sixteenth book in the series and it’s been six years since the fifteenth book came out.  It’s an urban fantasy series that highlights all types of supernatural creatures from three different types of vampire to several kinds of werewolves to almost godlike elemental forces.  All of these creatures seem to spend most of their time bothering Harry Dresden in his seedy Chicago office where he is the only practicing wizard that consults with the Chicago PD.  I’m really looking forward to Harry’s troubles.  No matter how much he is tortured by the baddies he always manages to get a joke into the dialog.  That’s the spirit I admire.  Plus I believe volume seventeen is the end so I’m looking forward to the payoff.

Things have gotten more and more bizarre in the political world but I do want to say that I admire President Trump for showing the stamina and guts to push forward and challenge the crooks who are actively working to steal the presidency of this country.  I also want to say that other than a few good people like Tucker Carlson Fox News is as dishonest as CNN and MSNBC.

So hang in there all you folks in the real world.  We will have a path forward soon and it will be a path to better things and better days.
