Just thinkin’ and listening about the America I grew up in…
Merle Haggard
I hear people talkin’ bad,
About the way they have to live here in this country
Harpin’ on the wars we fight
And gripin’ ’bout the way things oughta be
And I don’t mind ’em switchin’ sides
And standin’ up for things they believe in
But when they’re runnin’ down our country, man
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Runnin’ down a way of life
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep
If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song that I’m singin’ be a warnin’
When you’re runnin’ down our country, hoss
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
I read about some squirrelly guy
Who claims that he just don’t believe in fightin’
And I wonder just how long
The rest of us can count on bein’ free
They love our milk and honey
But they preach about some other way of livin’
But when they’re runnin’ down our country, man
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Runnin’ down the way of life
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep
If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song that I’m singin’ be a warnin’
When you’re runnin’ down our country, man
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Runnin’ down the way of life
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep
If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song that I’m singin’ be a warnin’
When you’re runnin’ down our country, hoss
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

Viktor Orban Wins Reelection
The prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, has won his fourth term in their recent election. He put forth the following guidelines as his aspirations for the country. If you read these and then the message by Theodore Roosevelt at the bottom of the View you will notice the correlation:
FAMILY
HISTORY
TRADITION
LANGUAGE
These thoughts are critical to the success of a sovereign nation as they describe who we are (or were…. You can plainly see what is happening to our country along the southern border with thousands of illegal immigrants entering our country every day of the week. These illegals are polluting our country by not assimilating into our society. And no one in Washington is doing a thing to stop it. They do not want to be American; they want the freedom, monies and services afforded to them by the current administration, courtesy of the unwilling American taxpayer. It is a crime against our country and her people.
Inflation
OK, one more time; the inflation and resultant explosion in fuel prices is NOT being caused by Vladimir Putin. It is being caused by Joe Biden and his clueless administration. A year ago, he was telling the oil companies to produce LESS oil. As a result, fuel prices began to rise (well before the invasion of Ukraine).
This is all part of their scheme to destroy the oil industry, which employs 11 million Americans. Their aim is to coerce people to buy electric cars, thus destroying the industry. We currently do not have the infrastructure to support this nonsense. Batteries, their manufacture and disposal are another issue. We do not mine lithium in the USA and I understand their disposal is a very big problem.
Fast forward to February as the clueless leader in Washington sought to purchase oil from Russia, Venezuela, Iran…in short, our enemies. The answer to this inflation is in the ground we walk on. The United States can supply the world with oil and natural gas, we were doing it until the moron took office, shut down the Keystone Pipeline, ceased all drilling on government land. They keep talking about the existing permits but do not tell you that many of them are being held up by government delays.
So, as they lie to the American people by blaming Putin, the cost of living continues to rise. The solution is here but they refuse to do anything about it. They are more concerned with transgender bullshit, equity, race etc. etc. All the things that mean very little to the man or woman on the street.
Now, they are attacking the earnings of the oil companies as the cause for rising fuel prices. That is a lie and a deflection. Let me tell you something, which I am sure many readers already know as it is common sense; if a company does not make money, it cannot re-invest in people, equipment, buildings etc. It is an age-old Democratic scheme which worked in the past but today, most people aren’t that stupid, unless they’re drinking the Kool-Aid the idiots are serving. Unfortunately, there are many of those. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, they slurp that crap up.
Greg Abbott
It’s about time! Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas has issued plans to stop this nonsense on the Texas border. Enhanced vehicle inspections, constructing their own wall for protection, he is going to bus illegals to Washington DC and drop them off at slo-joe’s front door. This will get interesting.
Black Lives Matter Busted. Again.
The black lives matter organization has been busted again, this time for purchasing a $6 million mansion in California, the purchase of which, they tried to hide from the public. Go ahead liberals, keep sending them your hard-earned money. Fools.
“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”
and
“KEEP AMERICA GREAT”
Have a great weekend…. God bless America!
Buy American made products whenever you can, it’s good for you, good for your friends and neighbors and good for our country.
If you are hiring…try to hire a veteran…. they are loyal, disciplined, hardworking…and they deserve our support.
By the way, if you wish to comment on my rants or offer any other insights you may have, you are encouraged to email me.
TEDDY ROOSEVELT ON IMMIGRANTS IN AMERICA…1907
In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag…We have room for but one language here and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
