Text of the page (random words):
ublican in the white house self loathing gop office holders found the atmosphere to be too toxic to provide what they promised trump was not to be stalled no other gop president would have achieved tax cuts no other gop president would have pulled out of the paris climate farce no other gop president would have moved the us embassy to jerusalem no other gop president would have jettisoned nafta a mistake and would have engaged in a global trade war another mistake on and on it goes yet trump is a fighter even in situations where he looks ridiculous he tries to stick to his public word even when video tape provides conclusive evidence that he s lying through his teeth he makes no apologies when he should be begging forgiveness he leaves no perceived slight unanswered one wonders what level tirade results on those late evenings in the executive residence when he has trouble slipping on a pajama shirt trump isn t just a mixed bag he s a multi colored bag overstuffed with mixed bags after two years of observation i believe his character flaws are worse than i thought they were on election day but i find that his administration has pursued many more conservative policies than i thought would ever be possible my facial expression here could be described as a grimacing smile my hope is that donald trump is a transitional president for the gop one that bridges the gap between an establishment party that is not so dedicated to its professed principles as to actually pursue them once elected and a party that has learned a lesson from the recent midterm losses that character words honesty temperament and founding principles have impact you don t have to be a jerk to stand up for yourself this is not to be confused with not standing up for yourself at all as was george w bush s wont unfortunately being succinctly trump means needlessly picking on people who are sometimes innocent defenseless sympathetic or all three this is behavior that cannot be excused when children do it and a grown president of the united states should damn well refrain from it too the lesson of trump for a conservative party is that the path ahead is rather straight and narrow but decidedly uphill the principles are already very well defined the individual is sovereign the powers of government are limited our rights come to us from a higher order we are a nation of laws these conservative principles resonate with a sizable portion of the people and should be respected it s going to take a future gop candidate who is willing to stay on the principled road who also has the strength to push uphill trump has displayed to us a willingness to fight for what he believes in even if not the proper tactics for that fight that if possessed by a virtuous candidate bent upon conservative ideals would be a person worth voting for posted by roug at 10 55 pm 0 comments thursday september 07 2017 wealth and hurricanes it was good news to hear that the bransons were able to ride out hurricane irma with neither injuries nor loss of life they survived the maelstrom by hunkering down in the family wine cellar surrounded by their boone s farm and md 2020 collections wealth can do that for you it can provide access to not only the private tropical locations that most of us can only dream about but also in the event of an anthropologically caused climate warming event can provide an alcohol stocked club house from which to experience the challenge juan and francoise unfortunately living in poverty along the northern coast of hispaniola will spend their day clinging to a palm tree that is the way of the world wealth enhances life while poverty lays bare its fragility from the branson subterranean compound billionaire richard branson s son sam tweeted out his thankfulness for survival but also cautioned the world that it must tackle the issue of global climate change it is a lofty goal to be sure and many people on earth and perhaps an even higher percentage of the wealthy certainly counting among them the bransons are highly motivated to make the change fossil fuels and their spewing of carbon are the targets for most of these concerns as a result the entire ethanol industry has been born refinery development has been all but stopped pipelines carrying the fuels are protested delayed and cancelled drilling moratoriums are put in place punitive taxes are put in place the evolving coal industry is shuttered in many places all the while alternative methods of energy are being explored which might bring us right around to ethanol again the designs of all of these programs is to do one thing raise the cost of energy consumption as it was explained to us by president barack obama energy costs must necessarily skyrocket as hillary clinton explained during her hapless limp toward the highest office in the land she wanted to bankrupt the coal industry of course these are negative things to those who work in the coal mines but they also have negative impacts on the users of electricity and gasp this includes most people who cannot afford to buy their own private islands richard branson is the kind of guy i admire for the most part his vision has provided tens of thousands of jobs and paid million and tens of millions of dollars in taxes he is not an enemy of the poor or shouldn t be because the wealth he has generated has paved the way for a better life for many of those who don t even know who he is to a point however when the richard branson family attempts to increase the costs of energy consumption it also without exception retards the ability of millions of those less fortunate to generate the wealth that they will need in the future to do such things as pay electric bills generate wealth and hopefully someday buy private islands al gore owner of multiple private estates charterer of private jets producer of motion pictures and perhaps the foremost proponent of agw science declares himself to be carbon neutral because of the carbon credits he routinely purchases i can t help but ask myself wouldn t he be carbon negative if he just bought a bunch of carbon credits and left his bug butt at home maybe if he would try to be a positive influence instead of bragging about his neutrality he d cut a more sympathetic pose a buddy of mine an embracer of al gore s reasoning was adamant that the wealthy can afford to pay the price necessary to make the energy switch over one wonders or i did which rich person is going to step up to the gas pump and pay the 100 it takes to fill up his truck when gas goes to 5 per gallon perhaps it is al gore himself or might have been before he blew his budget on all the carbon credits current global warming theorists demand a reduction in energy consumption and the only way to force that result is by making that consumption punitive to every person pulling up to the gas pump when energy consumption falls as it always does when prices get high more than just gas purchases wane fewer road trips are taken fewer restaurants are visited fewer hotel rooms are booked fewer automobiles are purchased too fewer people work in those industries and then the industries that rely on those industries show weakness of course the oil companies the number one targets of agw warriors get accused of gouging there is no efficient way to produce wealth without readily attainable energy and there is no more efficient energy source today than carbon based fuels that does not mean it will not change in the future but these changes can only be financed by societies with sufficient capital to bridge that gap with discoveries that are yet on the horizon or beyond capital incidentally that will get sucked out of the economy if agw believers have their say more and more it appears to me as if today s climate science favors those like the bransons while turning its back on the francoises and juans sam branson has nothing to apologize for when it comes to his billionaire family status it is agw theorists who are willing to deny wealth to those clinging to palm trees during hurricanes that should apologize posted by roug at 11 10 am 0 comments tuesday august 29 2017 driver s licenses a progression does a driver s license have more than one purpose certainly a license issued by the state and earned by a driver proves that the holder has passed all the requirements to drive a vehicle in the state in which it was issued endorsements on that license help to prove the holder s qualifications for operating different kinds of vehicles their ability to haul cargo and their capacity to understand all the applicable rules too the license helps to substantiate the holder s identity should he want to prove his legal age to purchase alcohol enroll at a college write an out of town check or buy a casino s buffet with valuable earned credits of course to prove a voter s identity with a driver s license would be too discriminatory let s not go there driver s licenses also help to identify unconscious and deceased accident victims while indicating too their organ donor status the purpose then for the driver s license is multifold none of the purposes of the driver s license have ever been arbitrary though now its usage is beginning to waver on that front the people s state of california is considering a change to their driver s licenses that would include an x as a sex indicator this is one of the first of many steps being taken today to blur the definition of the sex that was assigned at birth by god and that pesky swirl of chromosomes that make up our being thankfully most identification cards eschew color photos of our junk and a person s sex is taken at the word of the holder however when it comes to identifying the body of a person badly injured in an accident in the absence of a junk shot paramedics might have to rely on something a little more concrete than the fluidity of gender choice it is true also that in the years that elapse between the times that a driver s license picture is taken a person s looks can change glasses are changed or discarded hair color and length and thickness in my case change older people shrink and everybody lies on their weight anyway the blond haired blue eyed physically fit devil portrayed in the photo might actually look well a lot more like me when current events are taken into consideration my junk is still m the natural progression at play here makes identification potentially misleading in many situations and without purpose in a woefully inadequate speech class instructed by a woefully inept graduate assistant we were given an assignment to speak to those in the rest of our class about who we were as individuals wait for it yes collage time beside the fact that i felt i had outgrown such an exercise by about 8th grade we college frosh spent several class periods explaining to each other why some of us were going to be so successful in pictures while the most discerning among us figured out rather quickly why despite the fact our building was covered in virginia creeper we weren t actually attending an ivy league school the collage was our identity and our junk could be whatever we wanted it to be i m pretty sure that is where we are heading at least until driver s licenses become completely obsolete and autonomous vehicles dominate the roads we won t need a license to ride in a self driving car will we still identifications will remain relevant for the other purposes mentioned above but the farther we wade into identity fluidity the more a collage might actually be the better route for those negotiations at the casino buffet counter posted by roug at 7 43 am 0 comments sunday august 20 2017 detroit the movie shoehorned into an undeserved context because i m like that today i went to the theater and watched the movie detroit it occurred to me after watching the film that we should painstakingly drag up historically ugly incidents regardless of how they make us feel in order to remember them and learn from them the movie attempts to document one of the ugliest of the incidents that took place during the riots of that hot summer of 1967 it is one of many ugly stories contained within those several days of smoke and fire and bullets and bricks and blood but why make such a film when the producers and director and actors must have known that delving into such a project would open old wounds the 1960s we hope today are far removed from today s modern society where more or less people of different skin tones and hair textures can mix and mingle with one another without creating great tension fear and violence if that is the case and most people would say that it is then why make it would it not be better to just move along what then is to be gained i m certain people of different proud races and of different experiences could have different reactions to the film a swastika wearing hammer skin might cheer for a racist and corrupted police officer while a blm sympathizer might become ever more motivated to distrust police and call for the frying of more bacon these are fringe people in fringe movements and do not speak for a vast majority of individuals in this country i too came away with my own thoughts during that summer of 1967 i was but nine years old and had not yet entered the fourth grade northern michigan where i grew up was 180 long miles from the tendrils of smoke that trailed across a sky easily visible to fans at tiger stadium i m not certain i even have any direct memories of the 67 riots as it occurred we didn t have 24 hour news channels in those days and i m not even sure if we had a working television at that time in my life it was summer i was probably playing wiffle ball or catching crickets so all i know about it today is what i ve gathered from reading listening to other people talk about it looking at some of the blackened storefronts many years ago and now watching this movie many of the landmarks of the riots were destroyed in the riots themselves and many others such as the algiers motel itself have been removed in the time since memories fade oral history dies and soon enough only the hardened documentation remains now ratcheted up by the charlottesville incident where some nazi goons who supposedly demonstrated to protect monuments that honor heroes of the old south we have many others demanding that these same old monuments and others with much more dubious attachments to racism be relocated to museums or destroyed outright their existence and location seemingly a cause of great discomfort for those that view or visit i certainly understand this sentiment and perhaps some of this relocation only could still serve the purpose of remembrance and knowledge however i m not so certain that discomfort is altogether a bad thing here monuments themselves become a part of history nathan bedford forrest a southern general and an early member of the ku klux klan has had dozens of monuments raised in his honor over the years not to mention a few pointed wh...
