Monday was a good day at work.\u00a0 Progress was made and I\u2019ve got a much better understanding of what we\u2019re going to be up against in the next couple of weeks.\u00a0 Sure, madness will break out now and then.\u00a0 But it\u2019s not just this fog of ignorance. \u00a0There\u2019s the beginning of planning and a path forward.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s the situation going on in the world.\u00a0 Charlie Kirk\u2019s murder is disgusting and the more details that come out the worse it shows the Left\u2019s psychotic fringe to be.\u00a0 These people aren\u2019t merely insane.\u00a0 They have ceased to be human.\u00a0 The assassin was a \u201cfurry.\u201d\u00a0 The fact that his \u201cpartner\u201d was trans wasn\u2019t enough.\u00a0 He also pretended to be an animal.\u00a0 These people are so far beyond help that simple execution might be the kindest thing we could do for them.<\/p>\n

Hopefully Kash Patel is up to the job he needs to do.\u00a0 Proving conspiracy by all the other members of Robinson\u2019s associates is the first step.\u00a0 Then he must widen out the investigation to locate the entire Antifa network and trace back their money to the donors and NGO\u2019s that fund them.\u00a0 It would be nice if Obama gets caught up in that net.\u00a0 But first things first.\u00a0 Shut off the money and arrest the ringleaders who call the shots.\u00a0 Without them and the money, the small fry psychos will wander off and starve on the streets.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard Trump is pivoting from invading Chicago with ICE and the National Guard to going to Portland, Oregon instead.\u00a0 Now that\u2019s an interesting idea.\u00a0 Portland probably has the highest per capita number of trans weirdos, Antifa thugs and homeless drug addicts of any city in the country.\u00a0 It would be the perfect place to haul away tractor trailers full of degenerates and psychopaths.\u00a0 But I hope they\u2019ve planned this carefully to avoid injury among law enforcement and maximize the jail time meted out to the Antifa \u201ccommunity.\u201d\u00a0 I know they like throwing Molotov cocktails at law enforcement.\u00a0 Intelligence will be needed.\u00a0 But Portland is definitely in need of pruning.<\/p>\n

I have a feeling I\u2019ll be self-publishing my book.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think there are many traditional publishers who are brave enough to embrace my dystopian world of armed insurrection against the deep state.\u00a0 It is pretty radical.\u00a0 I\u2019m still trying to learn the basics of book marketing; especially advertising on Amazon and elsewhere on the web.\u00a0 But I have gotten the book out there in the real world now.\u00a0 I have a friend reading it and I\u2019m very interested in getting his feedback.\u00a0 My intention is to decide one way or the other about self-publishing and then send out a bunch of copies of the manuscript to friends and associates and see what they think.\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty heady stuff to even have a small audience read your words.<\/p>\n

The weather has been summer-like for the last few days and the forecast is for another couple of weeks of the same.\u00a0 That should allow me to handle the winterizing chores easily and plan for next year\u2019s spring.\u00a0 Probably the highlight of the garden season was the thornless raspberries.\u00a0 I took a chance that they were the kind that mature in one season.\u00a0 I cut all the canes to the ground and added a bunch of fertilizer and they grew like crazy and spread and produced tons of fruit.\u00a0 In fact, they\u2019re not done yet.\u00a0 Next year I\u2019ll do the same (cut down and fertilize) and I expect them to spread to almost double where they are now.\u00a0 We\u2019ll have to give them away to strangers.\u00a0 But I\u2019ll eat a ton of them myself.\u00a0 They\u2019re delicious.<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s enough talk of pruning for Monday.<\/p>\n
