DIRECTV has been sending unwanted and uninvited smutty Drag Queen screensavers into my house whenever we pause the television. We have children come to our house, and I have attempted for months to disable this invasion to our home. Yesterday, I had a roofer in, and we came up with a way to disable this "feature". The dish is now on the ground, and we are returning the equipment. GOOD-BYE DIRECTV!

[joecool]

Build-A-Bear stores now feature a drag queen teddy bear. I was reading through comments on the news article, and leftists were making fun of those against it.

Should I be of the opinion that RChat won't have made it to the big leagues unless leftists start posting here? Or should I count my blessings that they haven't found us?

[joecool]

The truth is exceedingly rare. If it were a commodity, what would it cost per ounce?

The Chinese got all the intel they wanted, and it was transmitted to them in real time, as their spy balloon was able to travel around in figure-eights to lengthen it's time over our military installations. That's the report overnight from the mainstream media.

If our government had lied in order to keep the Chinese in the dark over sensitive intelligence, that would be one thing. But the only reason Biden lied was to keep US in the dark. He knew that his military was tracking the balloon from the time it was launched. This was no surprise to him. And the balloon's mission was no surprise to him, either.

So the question is: "Why did Biden allow it to happen?" Is it because the communist government of China has the goods on his family, so he does their bidding? Or is it because he has surrounded himself with socialists who identify more with their communist comrades than Americans?

"You can't handle the truth!" The government is just like Colonel Jessup, making unilateral decisions that end up hurting Americans, even killing over 100 thousand each year.

[Claymore]

So riddle me this.....

Which was worse?

Benedict Arnold conspiring with the British to hand over West Point?

or

Biden allowing a Chinese spy balloon to loiter over nuclear missile facilities & air bases, and to let it transmit the intel back to China?

Take your time.  I'll wait............

Right off the top of my head, I seem to recall that Arnold was an over-achieving young officer who grew bitter, believing he was being passed over for promotion. He wanted to get back at Gen Washington with the West Point plot. But once it was foiled, he lived out the rest of his miserable life away from Americans. And he was also despised by the English, who didn't think highly of traitors.

Right off the bottom of my left shoe, Biden was an under-achieving politician who grew wealthy, but believed that it happened a little too late for him to enjoy his 10%. He wanted to get back into Washington, DC, but knew that all his small-time plots had to be kept covered up. This led to even greater plots. But one way or the other, We The (little) People will never hear of the depth of Joe Biden's betrayals. He will live out the rest of his miserable life away from (real) Americans. And he will also be despised by the Ukrainians, Chinese and Russians, who don't think highly of ________ (fill in the blank).

Not defending Benedict Arnold, but to put things into perspective:

Benedict Arnold DID serve in the American Armed Forces, and he DID win several major battles for the United States, and he WAS severely wounded in the course of serving the United States (from which he never recovered), and he DID lose much of his personal fortune as a result of serving this nation........................

NONE OF WHICH, BIDEN DID!

(Just sayin')

[joecool]

Speaking of things that didn't go well, today........

1) A former president will now be tried by a Soros prosecutor and convicted by a jury of NYC leftists
2) Wisconsin voted for a liberal Supreme Court justice, which just tipped that body to majority leftist
3) Chicago just elected a leftist activist as their new mayor

Is there a common thread here? We get what we vote for, or maybe its because some people just don't care enough to vote in the first place?

Funny thing.............

After reading this, I went outside and looked REAL hard, toward the North & East........

And I couldn't see ANY of those things..............

from here, on my deck, in Mississippi.

But I COULD see my Rifle Range and my Pistol Range.

(And they comforteth me..........)

I'm telling you. More snow yesterday. It's looking better and better to become a 6-month Mississippi snowbird, helping teach Rangers and...you know.

[joecool]

After that snow and 20 degrees a couple of days ago, it warmed up last night and I put a couple of steaks on the grill. It flared up at one point and the flames reminded me of the Wizard of Oz. You know, the scene where the scary image is up on the wall, and Toto exposes the harmless old guy behind the curtain.

Nowadays, there are millions of girls looking up to the image of a harmless old guy up on the wall, believing his lies. And this time around, there's real evil behind the curtain. Be Toto.

I have 1 week left on my current job. Can't wait to be done with nights.

Had an interview today, which went very well. I really like teh soun dof this job. But the pay is a bit low.
I stand to loose $400 a month. If you count the bonuses I got in teh last year, I stand to loose $1000 a month. That is a bit too much to swallow.

Well, pay is important, but life is too short to go through it, being miserable.

Good luck.

It takes more faith to be a denier than to be a believer.

Reading the news and keeping up with current events, it occurred to me that America is dying of a thousand cuts. It's extremely difficult to find an area that isn't hurting. And at this point, band-aids aren't helping.

Is the dominant left evil enough that they just want to watch us suffer and slowly bleed out? Or, do they figure that if they come at us with a perceived death blow all at once, that we'll be sufficiently aroused to protect ourselves?

Were it not for the Rapture, which will change everything, the US would be destined to be a 21st-century example of what future civilizations would try to learn from and avoid.

With all due respect:

I caution modern Christians from putting all of their eggs in the "Rapture Basket", as Saint Paul expected Christ to return in his own lifetime, and he was a lot spiritually smarter than us...........................

I think my phrasing still leaves 2099 as a possible date. But it seems that the probable date is much, much earlier. A friend at church says he doesn't buy green bananas.

OH!

(Nice job of leaving yourself a way out................................. SIR.)

Just reached out to the only remaining RR outpost in the state, about 3 hours away from me. We want to give them a lot of camping equipment, which has been gathering dust for years. It includes a huge camouflage net, which we used to cover our kitchen/dining area with. Time for all of it to leave the reserves and get back to active duty.

[Claymore]

I hate to see you, officially, cutting the cord, but at least it is going to use.

I was offered the chance to stay on until the end of the month, I elected to accept as I dont have any firm prospects

[Claymore]

Chris, you have needed skills and a good Work Ethic.

There is talk of the Country heading into a recession, and jobs may tighten up, but I think that honest, hard-working folks will generally do OK.

[joecool]

My state's legislature meets every two years to do the people's business. Last week, the spokesman for a family values foundation testified in favor of a bill that limits the "care" that trans-kids are pressured into receiving. Afterwards, two Democrat representatives approached him, asking "Why do you hate Satan so much?"

Really? Just how many people out there are sympathetic to the devil's plans?

There's a new movie out now titled Nefarious. It's about an atheist psychologist who has 24 hours to prove that a condemned killer is faking mental illness (demon possession) to avoid the electric chair. This is a Christian worldview-based movie. There's absolutely no reason for it's "R" rating, other than an attempt to limit the number of moviegoers. You might recall that they did the same thing to Passion of the Christ.

Evil is out there, and it has a name.
