I learned that the use of should, ought to, must is a clear path to irrational thinking. Even if unspoken, those words come through. For example, “a woman’s word must take precedence over innoicent until proven guilty.

I have found myself wrong many times because I listened to the prevailing stories of public opinion as described by the  media. It seems clear that the violation of certain rules validates my point.

Harvey Weinstein was a known commodity of power abuse and those  many who knew this said nothing. Because they wanted their share of POWER,  Their part of the limelight, their share of money.

There are things in common with all human beings, no matter the culture or the country or the race. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.   Look at the countries of Cuba, Venezuela,North Korea.

There may be things that we all can agree on (of course there are people who will not agree possibly because they are implicated).  Let’s start with 1. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Can we agree tghat this is a human trait that seems to play out in many cultures.  Whether in Europe, Asia, North America or South America we see this characteristic routinely.  Not just in politics but in the school yard, in the education system, in the courts.

Money and sex are boths a goal and a means to power.  Read thgat again. We might agree that money and sex are goals in human activity. Even reporting on money and sex leads to money and power.  We might agree on that as well.

Maybe we can agree that murder is bad. ( I will exclude war and abortion so we can get to the agreement faster.  Although if a gun toting group of Amish came storming over the hill with scalps, I might say self defense is called for.).  Let’s agree that murder is immoral as well.  Let’s throw in stealing, lying,  and rape. (I withhold some other things because they bring about irrational thinking.)

Let us also agree that being moral is good.  By good I mean that to be something we would like others to possess and believe in.  Ig 9 out of 10 people agree that child molestation is good then the remaining person is moral. Got that.  Can we agree on that?

So if you are vying for a lifelong dream to be in Hollywood and you can get the part by engaging in sex with someone in a position of power and you use that as an opportunity then you are engaging in an immoral act.  If you say nothing then you are accepting this behavior. If you come out with it after you receive the benefits, you are a coward who was immoral.

Sorry, but morality is not relative.  It is wrong at the time not years later.  Years later it is a publicity stunt. How can I say that? I went through Country Walk, I saw what happened at Duke University’s LaCrosse program, I saw Al Sharpton turn a crowd in favor of a lying woman.  I also saw the media feed these issues.

The Judge Moore issue is relying on a 40 year old memory of a 14 year old child.  When my daughter was 14 she came home from school and said she was bisexual (she laughs niw, but she really believed it at the time)  So the rule trhat seems to conflict with innocent until proven guilty is the new mantra that a woman must be believed.  There is that word must./

 

I have always believed in rational thinking.  (Another word for rational is logical).  The overwhelming amount of irrational thinking has made it impossible to address any issue.  No sooner does one Congressperson say something so untrue or so stupid or so irrational than another Congressperson says something really dumb.

It would seem rational that a Congressperson would not say or do something irrational.  Unfortunately irrational statements are the mainstay of Congress.  The sheer volume of Democrat scandals leaves the DOJ with too many places to begin.  The irrationality of the DOJ doing an investigation that has tentacles that will lead back to them is one example.

Since when does an illegal citizen have rights under US law?  That is an irrational concept and illegal as well.  But the rational is that those people represent a vote. A vote is power.

Since when is my tax dollar fodder for military spending to fly aircraft over the sky and release chemicals that we are not allowed to know about?  That is irrational.

Since when are we arguing about a tax cut when the issue might best be – follow through on less government.  I never, NEVER hear the Congress suggest that this or that federal program should be defunded.  Actually I did hear that but they funded it anyways.

The issue seems that Americans are illogical and they vote for people who stand for illogic.  Why not vote for someone who campaigns on defunding wasteful government programs.  Sorry for the redundancy.

Get the government out of our schools.  Defund any federal interest in education.  In fact, get rid of the Department of Education.  Watch locals achievement soar.

Get the government out of welfare.  Let people work and get involved with their community.  I believe the US was founded on the belief that each of us was an individual responsible for ourselves.  What happened to that logic?

Get the government out of health.  They can make sure our food is safe but leave my health care to the individual.  Sorry but the logic here is clear.  We will take care of our own.  If I was born with an illness I lost that lottery.  Somehow I will get by.  In fact I might do better than the lobbied regimen of medications and specialists I am forced to visit.  Hey maybe those planes are spraying things that are not good for  me.

Smaller government.

Smaller government.

Smaller government.

Smaller government.

Smaller government.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One day our fourth pinochle partner did not show.  We decided to play three handed except we did not know how to score this.  So we made up our own scoring system.

I took the first two bids and won but when the scoring was done I was in last place.  So I figured you try to win and end up in last place or you do nothing and take the lead.

Hmmmm.  Just like Congress.  You oppose anything that makes sense and do nothing on things that matter.  The goal is to get reelected.

If your constituents complain tell them the rules that you made up “restrain” you from doing what is right.  Check that, just say the rules restrain you, don’t tell them that you made up the rules and that you did so to raise taxes in your locale.  Sheeple are stupid and might not figure the restRaining mechanism is in your hands.

And pray that they don’t use the the “L ” word –less government.  Or worse yet the other “L” word — less spending.  You can simply do nothing and win.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The field of psychology and statistics, among other fields, uses a simple process to determine one’s ability to succeed.  For example when taking the SAT or similar test, a portion of the test is not scored.  This section is used as a measurement for future tests.  By comparing your answers with the score you earn on the rest of the exam, the statisticians can rank the questions according to difficulty.

If your score is average but you failed some questions on the unscored inner test, those questions are ranked as above average.  Likewise they should find that those more difficult questions were correct from above average test scorers.

The point that is clear is that one tends not to score more difficult items without scoring well on less difficult items.  That makes common sense.  You will not get the trigonometry questions correct if you did not get the algebra questions correct.

So by asking you a few simple questions one can determine your IQ or capability in a performance field.  For example if you did not know the first US president we would not expect you to know who wrote Henry V.  This only applies to the US.

So it is important to know what is expected in a certain location. It is similarly important to know other human domains such as morality and logic.  So asking someone from a war torn country will give a different  response set to questions meant to see how one addresses other human issues.

I currently live in a socialist country.  The people, generally, appear friendly.  It is customary to greet people in a socially appropriate way.  This is not something to be overlooked.  If you do not greet someone acknowledging their appropriate status, they can be offended.  This was not the way in the US.

The citizens of this country often leave for the US, Spain and Italy to find work.  They tend to take menial jobs, work hard and send money back to their families.  Socialism simple does not work.  A central government does not provide for the lower classes as readily as it does for the upper classes and the very upper class especially.

Those citizens that return from abroad seem to find an entrepreneurial way to make a living.  The government does not mind because it lessens their burden.  The people are kept poor.

The people do not have extra money to spend.  What stands out to me is the people do not have responsibility.  They have limited initiative.  They expect the government to take care of their needs and the government does not.  So the people wait in a state of fibrillation.

 This all leads back to the original premise that one cannot do more complex things without do simpler things.  As an example, it is not uncommon to see people litter the streets with wrappers, bottles and the like because the government will clean it up.  Since the government is slow to respond it becomes dependent on the parents to train their children to be responsible for having a litter free environment.

But the parents are not responsible as they have generations of irresponsibility at the simple level.  So the advanced concept of being on time, following through on a promise, being fair and the like are not in the hierarchy of the culture.

Be that as it may, I am amazed by the American response to this behavior.  The Americans here view the culture through rose colored glasses.  Because they greet the Americans so warmly, the Americans take that behavior and paint with a broad brush. The Americans see everything as better than the US.  They say things like,”the people are friendlier”, “the medical help and doctors are better than in the US”.

The reality is the culture greets more heartily, the doctors are cheaper but the deeper concepts are not capable of being fulfilled because the simple concepts don’t exist.

I want to extend this notion a little further.  The American public, the youth in particular, have never been without freedom – the ability to think, speak and behave the way they want.  As their freedoms dissipate, they no longer have the advanced concept of freedom fought for and cherished. Instead they give it away to people who have only learned to depend on the government to give them.

My time has come and is nearly gone.  I had a great run. I can only wish that those who follow will do as well.  The stage is set for the loss of freedom.  It will be sponsored by the lies the next generation will accept. Your freedom, no matter how cruel it seems to keep, need be the top of your priority list.

I thought there was a Congress known as the “do nothing” Congress.  As I looked for the dates of this Congress I found no reference to such a moniker  specific to a particular Congress.  It seems there have been many “do nothing” Congresses in U.S. history including now,  Of the 400 something bills passed by the current House the Senate has passed only 34.

It seems that the Republican controlled Senate has a few RINOs. Despite the many roadblocks placed before President Trump he has still managed to fulfill many of his campaign promises.  Here the Democrat s in the House have done something.  They have managed to impede the American publics’ wishes by delaying appointments and avoiding confirmations of those appointed.

The Democrat party, implicated in so many current scandals, is actively shooting themselves in the foot guaranteeing their demise.  Specifically, the next election cycle people will be ashamed to be a Democrat and not vote.  The Republicans will strengthen control and fulfill the democratic vote.

This being said I want to transition this background information into my original thought process.  We are the government.  We are doing nothing.  You might think that resisting the President is doing something but STOP.

I read the local FaceBook group in my area.  I live in Ecuador.   The anti Trump sentiment is loud. IWhat is displayed is the true definition of empty barrell.  They call the president crass and rude but they write it in crass and rude terms.  That seems to be the liberal M.O. To accuse the other side of what you do so well.

I saw a FB post from a woman stating the Rachel Maddoiw was a great journalist,  Others agreed. First Rachel and journalist should never be used in the same paragraph let alone sentence.  Second the most incredible stories of our time, the most unbelievable truths about our government are not even mentioned by Rachel or the once main stream media.  The Washington Post seems to have gotten the message,  (I think they might see that the truth will come out so they better ease onto the band wagon)

My undergraduate degree is in journalism.  I left the field early in my life but retained my desire to write.  Back then Woodward and Bernstein uncovered and reported the Nixon debacle.  I recently saw Woodward on TV and he was a mouth piece that is part of the current cover up.

Solomon and Carter are this generations journalists as they unfold the   storoes that the once main stream used to report before they started covering up the scandals,  They did do something because not reporting is doing something.  Peter Schweitzer and  his book CLINTON CASH along with the research by Charles Ortell are blueprints for indictment, trials and prison for the protected leaders, that were protected by the media.

I watch the criminality of various Congress people, I hear rage, vitriol and sometimes I marvel at their spin.  They double down when cornered like the rats they are.

And you FB rattlers are just as complicit showing your empty barrell vitriol and lies.  Will you admit your words were harmful?  Will you call your party he deceitful hypocrites they are?  Will you look unto  the mirror and reevaluate?  Probably not.

Just do nothing.
