I'm Not Dead Yet

But they have placed me in “Hospice Care,” which means they’ve given up on keeping me alive and are “keeping me comfortable until I do die.” But my mind is as sharp as ever and I’m making some major changes in these blogs They will go from three to one, incorporating material from all three. Blog entries will be from one-liners to a full article as I see fit what to write and will not be on a daily schedule as before. It’s been a hard time for me physically and my time had to be devoted to getting my body under control. There may or may not be links attached to items as necessary. I’m officially shutting down the “Ray’s Shorts” and “The Unarmed Citizen” blogs as of today and directing their readers here. Entries will be my opinions based on facts and will “strip the labels off of the news.”

Upstaged Democrats

President Trump told those incompetent local Dumbocrats that, if the didn’t clean up their cities, he would do it for them, and he’s doing just that. He has a habit of doing exactly what he says he will do, and the Dumbocrats just aren’t used to other politicians actually doing what they promise, and they’re mad about it. So when he sent in his people, using locally rented vehicles to surprise them, they accused him of sending in “secret police” with no identifying marks on their uniforms—which is completely false. They all wore their usual uniforms with the identifying patches that were normally there. The only “secret” part of it was the use of locally rented vehicles he used to “sneak up” on the rioters. So they screamed “unfair!” As if the tactics used by the rioters WERE “fair.” Chicago Mayor Lightbrain says, “We don’t need your help!” when they need it desperately. The politicians are the only ones who think they don’t, but the “top cop,” who is a pro, does. The fact remains that the local politicians are incompetent to control crime in their cities, but Trump is not—and that’s what makes them mad—Trump showing the world their incompetence. (Just common sense)

This Election Was Stolen

Dumbocrats swear there is “no evidence of voter fraud” when evidence of voter fraud abounds. they’re not even trying to cover it up. They bring truckloads of Biden only votes into counting centers at 4 AM while keeping poll watchers at a distance. That’s patently illegal, but they do it and don’t care if there are witnesses becaust “the fix is in.” They sit in counting centers marking ballots for Biden only right out in the open, and they don’t seem to care who sees them doing it. The bosses at those centers ORDER counters to change votes from Trump to Biden and they don’t even care if we know about it. This is one of the sloppiest fraudulent elections in my memory—and my memory goes back a long ways. The Swamp knows they need to screw voters out of this election if they are to regain their power and they don’t care who knows what they’re doing, as long as they can’t seem to do anything about it. This has not been an election. It has been a “palace coup” designed to unseat a legally-elected president, and it is working. The media even has had the gall to “confirm” Joe Biden as the “president elect,” even though the Electoral College has not done so—and only the Electoral College CAN confirm the results of a presidential election. It’s in the Constitution and cannot be denied by intelligent people. (American Liberty Report)

Infant Life Matters

Liberals are all bent out of shape about the number of black men who are killed by police. They imagine every killing by a cop is murder—but they’re not, In most cases. In most cases, the cop kills in self defense against the attack of the man involved. In those few that are not “good shoots,” the cops are reacting to things like “Black Lives Matter” and cops being murdered from ambush before they even know they’re in danger. But the same isn’t true in the case of the murdered infants who are killed before they even take a single breath. Mostly. BLM is so “concerned about the number of adult males killed, but seemingly unconcerned about the number of unborn infants that are murdered at the behest of their parents, most of them black infants. It’s their method of birth control: create a life, then kill it. We condemned the Germans about their “Holocaust” after discovering the fact that all Germans knew about the Nazis killing Jews. This is our Holocaust. All Americans know about these murders, and many of them are accomplices. But they are treated as “legal killings” since the Supreme Court decided, in their infinite wisdom, that killing babies was constitutionally protected. They were WRONG, and they are complicit in millions of infant murders. (Just common sense)

The Swamp Returns

Have you noticed? Every single appointment Joe Biden is considering returns a former swamp member to important offices, so they can continue Obama’s relentless attacks on out infrastructure. These are all the people we were glad to get rid of when Trump came into office, and now they’re back—IF the Biden steal of this election finally fails—as it should. How in hell a feeble old man who can’t remember where he is, and to what office he’s running for, who couldn’t draw a crowd if he was an artist, who stayed in his basement instead of campaigning could even get NEAR winning the White House is a mystery. Actually it isn’t a mystery, with all the rampant voter fraud Trump is uncovering, like worms from under a rock. With truckloads of Biden only ballots arriving at 4 AM while some election officials care so little about our knowing what they’re doing that they allow themselves to be photographed while they fill out phony ballots—for Biden, and never for Trump. With election officials openly ORDERING election workers to falsify ballots, right out in the open. It’s easy to figure out how that senile old man could win a stolen election without him even being aware of it. (Just common sense)

Defunding the Cops

One of the most damned fool and incompetent actions I can see from ANY politician. If they think they’re doing something logical, they’re NOT. To do so demonstrates absolute, stupid incompetence! With all the Dumbocrat (ANTIFA, BLM) violence, rioting, looting, assault and even KILLING of innocents, we need more cops “on the beat” than ever before. And to defund police departments limits what they can do, making it almost impossible for them to do the job for which they were hired. This will inevitably INCREASE CRIME. To deny that should be grounds for recall—or impeachment, or whatever it takes to remove these incompetent fools from office. And to DISBAND a police force? Ungodly stupid. Where they’ve done it, crime has predictably skyrocketed, as criminals take advantage of it. If this idea takes real root across the country, I don’t want to live under conditions that would create. The Seattle police chief, seeing no way to do her job under the circumstances dictated by the incompetent politicians in the City Council, has resigned. And I recommend all their police offices resign too, before they get killed by the criminals, who will non longer fear retaliation. (NY Times)

NRA Not Stopping Gun Control

The anti-gun fools love to “demonize” the NRA because they are steadfast in standing up for our Constitutional right to “bear arms.” Something that was so important to the Founders that they gave it its own amendment, right up front, and limited it to as few a number of words as possible so it could not be misunderstood. Unfortunately, anti-gun fools have PROMOTED a misunderstanding of the Second Amendment since well before the ink dried in writing that Amendment. They have made many claims, including specifying certain types of guns that did not exist at the time of the Amendment. But the Founders did not specify ANY specific type of armament, only that Americans were GUARANTEED the right to “bear arms,” and that this right “shall not be infringed.” Unfortunately, EVERY anti-gun law ignorant politicians make at the behest of the anti-gun fools ARE an “infringement” on that inalienable right. The NRA isn’t stopping gun control, the millions of free Americans who wish to be able to defend themselves against the millions of ILLEGAL guns out there ARE. (The Federalist)

A Sacrificial Lamb

That appears to be what Kyle Rittenhouse is. He killed two attacking thugs and wounded another in a clear case of self defense. But the liberals aren’t buying it, even though there is unedited video of it happening, and it was clear that he would have been seriously injured, maybe killed ubless he shot those thugs. But the liberals not only filed murder and attempted murder charges against him, they are now trying to poison the potential jury pool against him. This is clearly a “legal lynching” by liberals who are sacrificing him to their narrative, KNOWING he is guilty of NO crime except maybe that of being in possession of a gun at 17. Which does NOT warrant a murder charge and maybe a death sentence iof an innocent young man. This gun control out of control. Punish the innocent and ignore the crimes of the guilty. Get rid of the very concept of self defense—which I am now convinced is the long-term goal of the anti-gun fools. This is just one of the many cases I’ve seen of liberals charging innocent people of murder when they kill obvious thugs who are out to kill them. (Gun Free Zone)

Don't Forgive College Debt

It’s an obvious Dumbocrat scam to buy votes at the expense of taxpayers, and it’s unfair to all the millions of parents who have suffered high debt to send their kids to college, and then the kids are saddled with long-term debt it takes sometimes decades to pay off. I’m 83 years old and never went to college because my parents couldn’t afford it. Can I now go to college and get a degree with somebody else paying for it? An it’s not fair to all the kids who never got to go to college because their parents couldn’t afford it. The Dumbocrats claim not to be socialists, but if you look closely at everything they propose in an election campaign, it involves government taking taxpayer money to pay for giveaways, to buy votes at other people’s expense. That’s socialism, and it can’t be denied to intelligent people. Every time Dumbocrats announce a “new program” it stinks of socialism. This country was founded on the free market. It’s what made us a world leader in fiscal matters so that America is the “destination of choice” for those who want to better themselves. So we don’t want, nor need socialism, at any level. Communism (a form of socialism) almost destroyed the first colonists until they “wised up” and adopted the free market. (Just common sense)

Don't Bring A Gun

I hear stories about people bringing guns to demonstrations, some on the left, and others by right-wing counter demonstrators. This is not good. Bringing a gun to a demonstration clearly invites the other side to bring their own guns. Then predictably, some fool will start shooting, and people will die. The other side will shoot back, and the war is on. Demonstrations are no place for guns. Not if you want to stay alive. Tensions at demonstrations are always high, and often violence breaks out among demonstrators. I know that nobody wants to get beat up, but if I had a choice between getting beat up or getting shot to death, I know what I would choose. ANTIFA is just drooling over the chance to kill somebody for their political views, and to bring a gun to a demonstration is an “engraved invitation” to them to bring their own guns and, being armed, somebody is going to kill somebody. Riots are one thing. Demonstrations are another. But what you are inviting if you bring a gun to a demonstration is open warfare over political views—and that’s what ANTIFA wants. (Just common sense)

How Many Million Votes?

How many millions of illegal votes do they have to find before the Dumbocrats will admit there IS massive voter fraud? Every day I see verifiable reports of more and more millions of votes found, yet they keep saying this isn’t enough to turn the election. They keep calling Trump’s findings bogus while calling a senile old man who can’t figure out where he is from day to day the “president elect,” when they have to know, if they have ANY intelligence at all that he is NOT, and will not be until, or unless the Electoral College so declares him thus. it’s the law. The news media doesn’t get to “confirm” the results of an election, and it pains me each time I hear somebody who ought to know better, routinely refer Biden as president elect. If Trump has ONE more vote than Biden he is re-elected. And Biden can go off into the mists of history as an old man who tried to steal an election with the help of the Dumbocrat Party so they could sit him down in the Oval Office and pretend he had the mental acuity in his senility to BE president, not a figurehead. (Just common sense)

"Common Sense Gun Control"

That’s one of the biggest contradiction in terms I have seen in my many years of life. What is “common sense” about laws that do NOTHING to “stop gun crime” and, instead, PROMOTE it by disarming the law-abiding, making them “easy targets” for the very gun crime their laws pretend to stop? What is “common sense” about creating many “gun-free zones” that become “killing zones” for potential mass killers who SEEK OUT such places in which to do their killing? What is “common sense” about making all schools gun-free zones when to do so makes them tempting targets for mass shooters while prohibiting legal gun owners from being able to bring their guns to school so as to have some chance at not only self defense, but defense of their students? The entire concept of targeting the guns is so far from being “common sense” as to be ridiculous. Criminals don’t obey laws. So making laws against them carrying guns is so silly, it’s sublime—and far from being “common sense.” And it is based completely on the IGNORANCE of those passing such laws. They can’t be intelligent and support the passage of such laws. (Just real common sense)

Gun Control Is Deadly

I like to talk about Chicago, where gun control is tight, while criminals have no trouble getting their guns, and the gun crime rate is the highest in the nation. But Chicago is not the worst example of the fallacy of anti-gun laws. Every large city with tight anti-gun laws has correspondingly high gun crime statistics. But that’s not the whole story: In Mexico, where the anti-gun laws are really draconian, and where only ONE PERCENT of Mexicans can legally buy guns, the gun crime rate has DOUBLED since those laws were written and imposed upon the people. This is but one more instance that proves my point. But the anti-gun fools, as usual, are not listening. They have a “tin ear” to facts that disprove their ignorant theories. They see these things, and then go on to make more and more stupid anti-gun laws they SAY reduces gun crime, while they do NOT. They only INCREASE it by making “easy targets” of the law-abiding, who DO obey their laws, while criminals (who obey NO laws) predictably do not. What drives them, I don’t know. I only know their ideas are worthless, and deadly to those who obey them, while they make it easier for the lawless to victimize the law-abiding. (John Lott)

I'm With Rush

He’s tired of waiting. Tired of hearing various lawyers and politicians tell us “what they have,” and “what they’re gonna do”--someday. They hold hearings and make all kinds of accusations, but nothing ever seems to get done—unless it’s against some obscure Trump staffer or supporter. Rush is demanding legal action, not promises. The only real legal action so far has been dealt with by the pardon issued for former general, former chief of staff Michael Flynn—and that was a needful action because Flynn was railroaded, tricked into a conflicting statement that was judged to be a lie by biased “investigators,” and pressured into pleading guilty to get it over with. Nothing like it for the real criminals because they’re Dumbocrats and the “fix is in.” It has been in for decades. Dumbocrats have to be caught on camera, and sometimes that doesn’t even work. All it seems to take to “get” a Republican is a whisper from some unnamed source to cause him/her to be “put through the wringer” until he/she breaks, and makes a misstatement that is judged to be a lie, and prosecuted. I too, am getting disgusted with all the promises of “enough evidence to bury somebody” with no legal action following. I say, “Don’t TELL me what you’re going to do—someday—just DO it, dammit! (Patriot Nation Press)

California Gun Killings

Wait a minute. California has some of the toughest anti-gun laws on the books, so how is this possible? Someone had to have either gotten his guns illegally or passed a background check and got them legally in order to bring off this outage. I thought all these tight laws were supposed to STOP things like this? Why weren’t they able? The truth is, this is yet another proof that anti-gun laws are useless to stop, or even slow down “gun crime.” Only the law-abiding obey them, and they aren’t, for the most part, the problem. The problem people are criminal, crazies, and Islamic terrorists, who regularly kill innocent people to make a political point. And they couldn’t care less about anti-gun laws. They are bent on violating much worse laws than those insignificant prohibitions on their use of guns in committing their other crimes. Laws are for those who obey them. Thus, the only people to whom these laws will apply are the law-abiding, who obey them. Completely ignoring the lawless, who routinely DISobey them. So what the hell good are they? They merely make it easier for the lawless to victimize the law-abiding. The anti-gun fools have to know this, but they ignore it and keep making their useless anti-gun laws, then ask in wonder, why gun crime persists. The news articles are still reporting that 5 people died in this California killing spree, but the death toll rose to 6. So what are California lawmakers going to do, now? Make more useless anti-gun laws for them to ignore? (People)

"I'm A Trained Marxist"

What the hell does THAT mean? The co-leader of the “Black Lives Matter” movement says she is a “trained Marxist.” If that really means what I think it does, she is admitting to being a COMMUNIST, which is the worst kind of socialist. Communism brought 75 years of misery to Russia before failing, and socialism is continuing it with Vladmir Putin, a former bloody secret police leader, at the helm, to keep it going. Communism has meant DEATH to millions of Russians who opposed communism, in any way. Is this what America wants? 75 (or more) years of misery and millions of Americans murdered, so the communists (Marxists) can remain in power?

BLM has gotten strong enough so that insipid politicians are now allowing the BLM symbol to be painted on public property right now. That frightens me no end, that they have become that powerful and the politicians so stupid. I see only misery ahead. This is how they enslaved Russia—a little bit at a time, like “boiling a frog.” Drop a frog in hot water, he’ll jump right out. Drop him in cold water and he’ll stay while you bring it to a boil without his notice, until he's dead. We need to get rid of these people before they get so strong it becomes impossible, until their system collapses of its own weight  long in the future, as it did in Russia. (Just common sense)

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Suicide of America

It’s name is Joe Biden. He is signaling the appointment of all the “old guard” of imbeciles that contributed to the near demise of America under Obama. To make it worse, he wants to appoint Obama to the Supreme Court, and irreversible action, since that is a lifetime appointment. And for a second appointment, he wants to appoint Hillary Clinton. Another lifetime appointment of one of the worst political criminals in DC. Then comes Horse faced John Kerry, the worst blowhard in DC, as “climate czar,” useless a job as there is, since that “climate change” thing is a con from beginning to end. “The Swamp” is returning, in full force. They finally “got” Trump, after stealing the election in an almost transparent action. There are so many instances of election fraud, in so many places, it’s impossible to keep track of them all—yet the Dumbocrats keep saying “there is no evidence of election fraud,” in the face of sure evidence there IS. Evidence they keep ignoring. Another four years of “The Swamp,” America, as we knew it, will be so far gone, Trump might not be able to rescue it, if he runs in 2024 and wins again, something he does on a regular basis. (Just common sense)

Insane Accusation, Prosecution

Charging Kyle Rittenhouse with murder and attempted murder is the most insane action I can think of for somebody who is supposed to be enforcing our laws. That killing was the most obvious case of self defense I’ve ever seen—and I did see it. He was being attacked and threatened with death by not one, not two, but THREE thugs and shots were being fired in his direction. He couldn’t be more afraid for his life, and that is the standard definition of self defense. The worst a competent prosecutor could charge him with was a gun crime, since he was only 17. And that’s only if they’re searching for SOMETHING, ANYTHING to charge him with, and that seems to be the case. He acted clearly in self defense, and to charge him with murder is a violation of the law, as well as a violation of common sense. That prosecutor needs to be fired, and sued broke for this incompetent act, to ruin the life of a kid who was just protecting that business from the mob. And that’s what those men were, not the “peaceful protesters” the media likes to call their looting and destroying of private property, and the assaults on innocent people like Rittenhouse. (Just common sense)

Gun Control Equals Death

“If your government tells you that you don’t need a gun, you need a gun.” I don’t know who said that, but it is a truism. Adolph Hitler had complete gun control, and then he went on to murder millions. Not just Jews, other people, as well. And they had no recourse, because they didn’t have guns to use to oppose him and his “Brown Shirt” thugs. Josef Stalin had complete gun control in Soviet Russia, and HE went on to murder millions of defenseless, unarmed citizens. Fidel Castro made guns in the hands of his citizens illegal on his first day after taking over in Cuba, and predictably murdered many defenseless citizens. Disarming citizens is the first step for a dictator when he takes over. No dictator wants his “people” to be armed when he comes to victimize them because he doesn’t want himself, or his thugs to get shot as they victimize his citizens. All the Dumocrat candidates for president want to “take your guns.” Doesn’t that tell you something about what they have planned for you if you’re dumb enough to elect them? You think it can’t happen here? They want to repeal the Second Amendment. What do you think they’re going to do if that ever happens? (Just common sense)
