The Senator Gets It


Yep






The End Of Democracy As We Know It

 The Treasury Department, on behalf of federal law enforcement after January 6, 2021, asked banks to snoop through customers’ transactions for signs of “extremism,” such as purchases of “small arms” or from gun retailers Dick’s Sporting Goods, Bass Pro Shop, or Cabela’s. The government also researched who was purchasing Bibles. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/01/18/feds-asked-banks-search-americans-records-gun-retailers-words-like-trump-maga-bible-purchases/

Well I'll Be Damned!

 


Four year ago we were told the laptop from Hell was fake; made up. Our traitorous justice department now says it's real. Well, I'll be damned! https://thefederalist.com/2024/01/17/four-years-after-biden-laptop-from-hell-falsely-labeled-misinformation-doj-admits-its-real/

Do You Love Dogs

 Do you love dogs as much as I? The amazing part of my affection for these friends is that I didn't used to be this way. Oh, I had a couple of dogs as a kid growing up in Central Iowa but I really didn't appreciate them. To be honest, my parents trained our pooches the way they trained their children------they had them but didn't follow through on the training aspect of the task at hand. In other words, they, like their kids, were allowed to roam without a whole lot of training. 

Since I've been married we've had three dogs in our family. Our first came around in 1992; a rescue Dalmatian. She, Casey by name, had been owned by an Ohio State student who, when he graduated, decided he didn't want her anymore. I don't know how my then 17 year old son found out about her but I reluctantly gave in to his wishes and she came into our lives. When my son left for college Casey became Her Majesty's and my special friend. In 1999 Casey was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I was so devastated I made The Queen take her to the Vet to be put down. It was at that time I promised myself I would never, ever get another dog. I don't very much like crying myself to sleep every night.

Then, six years ago, my son(why is he always involved) told us about a Cairn Terrier out of Cincinnati that needed a home. The Queen was all for it. As for me, not so much. I told him at the time I didn't want to have to go through the trauma of loving one of God's creatures then having to destroy them. I've always stated the only mistake God ever made was to give dogs a short life span. Regardless, Charlie came into our home. He was the smartest of smart dogs. Charlie fit right into our family from the get go. It took me two weeks to fall in love with him and from then on we were best buddies. I don't want to go into the details but it was on February 8 of 2023 at 3:20 in the afternoon when my best friend was tragically killed by a car in front of our home. I'll blame myself forever for taking my eyes off of him for thirty seconds by saying 'hello' to my neighbor. 

After Charlie's death I went into a funk. Every day on the internet I read stories about dogs needing homes. I drove around Ohio and Kentucky looking for the right dog to replace Charlie. It got to the point that I would've taken a three-legged Cocker Spaniel blind in one eye to replace my pal. I was desperate to have another canine, any canine, in my life. I was looking to fill a void.

I searched the kennels and newspapers from March of '23 to the end of May and one day came across a rescue pooch that had been taken out of a kennel in northern Kentucky. She was five years old and had been owned by an elderly woman. The lady either died or went into a nursing home, we don't know which, but she had this Jack Russell Terrier who was, upon inspection by me, one of the most miserable, saddest, pathetic creatures I'd ever seen. I took her home and I named her CeeCee and she came to live with us. I realized that she needed a home more than I needed her. This dog needed someone to love her and I picked me to be that person. I hoped I could be that person.

This poor animal had lived in a 600 square foot apartment her entire five years. I seriously doubt she had ever had contact with more than five people, other dogs included. I doubt she had ever been on a walk except to eliminate bodily fluids. She would snarl, bark and growl when any male, other than me,  when they came near her. I suppose it's normal for dogs and maybe even humans to lose their bladders when nervous. CeeCee gave urinating anywhere and anytime new meaning. The best of all reasons to keep the lass was, from the get go, she was in love with Her Majesty. And this response was all important because The Queen missed Charlie more than I which seemed impossible. In other words, my wife initially wanted nothing to do with her. Time and love from a canine can change this feeling in a hurry. CeeCee loves her Majesty the way I love anything Iowa-------and that's a good thing.

So, we're now into the eighth month with our new child and the changes in attitude and actions have been remarkable. CeeCee had been deathly afraid of other dogs. Last week we visited friends who have two pooches. Our lady was familiar with them from previous visits but her fear when around them was like how I would feel in the presence of John Wayne Gacey. Not this time though. She sniffed their rear ends while I watched her tail wagging with vigor. I was overjoyed. It was like watching your child win a spelling bee. My buttons were bursting with joy. My girl now jumps on the couch and cuddles with me. Prior to the past two weeks this had only happened twice. Being the skeptic that I am I figure she thinks I have treats and she's right. I'll accept the cuddles.

I could go on and on about the progress our rescue has made and how much we both love her but I won't. The only reason I'm writing this piece is because I saw a photo of another pooch who was recently rescued and I thought to myself, "How lucky are her owners to have such a wonderful friend" and it reminded me our our lil' gal. Isn't she absolutely adorable?

Round II Of Covid

 There’s a new COVID variant that China has been tweaking in the lab, and it’s unbelievable. It was tested on mice and had a 100 percent mortality rate.

The Clark Effect

 Want to see Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark, arguably the GOAT of the women’s college game, play in person?

Better check to see if your bank account can withstand a hit comparable to a mortgage payment.

Tickets for games featuring Clark, the No. 1 scorer in the nation (30.9 ppg) and the No. 1 playmaker in the nation (7.9 apg), are a hot commodity – and crazy expensive.

Like as much as $1,700 per head in some cases. That’s the projected cost of seats behind the Iowa bench when the Hawkeyes visit Northwestern on Jan. 31.

Normally, tickets to a Northwestern women’s game are $12 apiece. Lower mid-court tickets for the defending national champion, LSU, are $30.

Upcoming Iowa games at Ohio State, Maryland, Nebraska and Indiana are also expected to fetch as much as $1,000 to $1,350 per ticket.

Iowa has sold out every game it has played on the road this season, upping attendance at opponents’ arenas by as much as 359 PERCENT! You read that right: 359 PERCENT!

For instance, when Iowa played at Wisconsin on Dec. 10, the attendance was 14,252. Normally, the Badgers draw an average of 4,536 fans to home games. https://www.outkick.com/caitlin-clark-effect-iowa-womens-basketball/

How Migrants Get From There To Here

 Wow! What a web of corruption is woven when it comes to migrants as to how they arrive at our southern border. One would almost have to believe it's world-wide organizations trying to bring our country down and you'd be right. To use a word I often bring into my works it's 'mind boggling' as to how this is accomplished. https://www.muckraker.com/articles/united-states-invasion-route-exposed/

I Hate When This Happens


What's Scarier Than This

 'In five years' time we could be looking at multiple theatres including Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. Ask yourself, looking at today's conflicts across the world, is it more likely that that number grows or reduces?

BiteMeNomics


Since The Queen and I are spending our winter in St. Augustine I like to give her a break from cooking a couple of nights a week so I'll splurge and head for a fast food place. Ten or so years ago we were visiting family in Arizona and I came across a Whataburger. It had a reputation for good quality burgers and lo and behold there happened to be one of these places a mile from out present location. I ordered for Her Majesty one of the basic hamburgers. For me I bought a barbeque chicken sandwich and we shared a small fry. I was semi-shocked when the counter girl told me the cost of my order would be $18.50. I say semi-shocked because I've come across the same type of pricing on a number of items lately. For instance, at a Race Trac gas station I bought a small coffee and a bagel for $4. 25. So, when you look at the graph above you have an indication of the price of food at the supermarket. What once cost $100 is now up to $125 and I don't expect it to stop any time soon.

I have to wonder how the fast food market is going to stay in business. It cannot be easy for them to keep up with the pricing. And to think it all started with a certain someone shutting down what is called the Keystone Pipeline. Whoda' thunk it?

Think About It


The Truth Comes Out

 In the election of 2020 those dastardly Republicans had the nerve to suggest voter fraud was rampant across the nation. Why, I even had acquaintances scoff at my suggestion that cheating took place. These people were adamant that Joe Biden did indeed destroy Donald Trump. My questioning of the process, and still is, that the suspected voter fraud occurred in the most important swing states. Michigan, for instance, had and still has, a lot of explaining to do. Their Secretary of State is Jocelyn Benson shown below.


Prior to the 2020 election she was asked to remove 24,000 dead people from the voter rolls. This Democrat refused. As I often say in cases such as this, "Nothing to see here. Move along."

Michigan is now under the microscope for voter cheating------finally. Instances of massive fraud are surfacing all across the Wolverine state. It's about time. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/catching-fraud-check-my-vote-investigators-uncover-fake/

Is Your Will In Order?

 Nearly one in five US hospital deaths are caused by misdiagnoses, research shows.

A study published last month in the journal JAMA examined 2019 medical records from nearly 2,500 patients in 29 different American hospitals. 

All of the patients were transported to the intensive care unit (ICU), died while hospitalized, or both. 

The researchers found that 23 percent of these patients were misdiagnosed or received a delayed diagnosis. And nearly 18 percent of them died or suffered other serious harm. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12965791/hospital-deaths-bungling-doctors-medical-errors.html

Still Thinking About Getting An EV?

 Have you ever driven a Tesla? I have. It’s a lovely car to drive because it accelerates quickly, handles well, and is stocked to the brim with cool gadgets. In a sane world, rich people would buy it and other electric vehicles (EVs) for fun and, as competition drove the price down, ordinary people would think about them, too. But we don’t live in a sane world. We live in an insane world in which our governments are forcing us to buy EVs to “save the climate.” That’s why it’s important to focus on just how awful EVs are, and this winter is forcing that focus on a lot of foolish people.

Let me count the problems with EVs: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/01/a_cold_el_nino_winter_reveals_yet_another_problem_with_electric_vehicles.html

 Most of the Midwest is having what we from Iowa  call 'The Weather' these past few days.

Those were fun times, right?

Another Hoax Exposed


The mystery of the two so-called aliens, said to be proof of extraterrestrial life, were seized by Peruvian customs agents in October has finally been solved by forensic scientists. 

The two objects, each around a foot long and shaped to look like small grey humanoids with three fingers on each hand, took the world by storm in October, with many claiming that they were the corpses of two aliens. 

Forensic archaeologist Flavio Estrada, who lead the analysis, said the claims that the two objects came from another words are 'totally false.' 

'The conclusion is simple: they are dolls assembled with bones of animals from this planet, with modern synthetic glues, therefore they were not assembled during pre-Hispanic times. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12961431/Mystery-tiny-aliens-discovered-Peru-finally-revealed.html

Liberalism In America








And Obama Won


Just Like The Olden Days

 My old home state of Iowa is getting blasted with snow this week. Many sections of the state received up to 12" of powder two days ago and are in line to get hammered again with the same amount in the next couple days. Not to worry though. We Hawkeyes are tough dudes and dudettes. Townsfolk and those in rural areas will still show up for Tuesdays caucuses. Even so, when I saw this photo taken in Oskaloosa, Iowa it warmed the cockles of my heart. It took me back to the 60's and 70's when this type of snow was a common occurrence.

Quote Of The Day

 "So, let me get this straight. We’re dropping bombs all over the Middle East, AGAIN (where I defeated ISIS!), and our Secretary of Defense, who just went missing for five days, is running the war from his laptop in a hospital room. Remember, this is the same gang that “surrendered” in Afghanistan, where no one was held accountable or FIRED. It was the most embarrassing “moment” in the history of the United States. Now we have wars in Ukraine, Israel, and Yemen, but no “war” on our Southern Border. Oh, that makes a lot of sense. Crooked Joe Biden is the worst President in the history of the United States!"
