The IRS is trash. Huge amount of very high paying jobs that can’t get the rolls cleaned up? Of course not because they don’t want too but if you’re conservative they’ll put 20 people running audits on you. So many people draw Social Security checks that never put anything into it. I’ve been putting into it for 42 years and there is a chance I won’t be able to draw anything because it will be broke. Another good government success story ??

A friend sent this email to me and I thought I'd share it:

An interesting historical analysis when you think about the  some of the kids we see growing up today.


[SIZE=10pt]Subject:[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] The Camels are Coming[/SIZE]




[SIZE=13.5pt]The founder of Dubai, Sheikh Rashid, was asked about the future of his country, and he replied, "My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I ride a Mercedes, my son rides a Land Rover, and my grandson is going to ride a Land Rover…but my great-grandson is going to have to ride a camel again." Why is that, he was asked? And his reply was, “Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men, weak men create difficult times.  Many will not understand it, but you have to raise warriors, not parasites." And add to that the historical reality that all great empires...the Persians, the Trojans, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, and in later years, the British...all rose and perished within 240 years. They were not conquered by external enemies; they rotted from within. America has now passed that 240 year mark, and the rot is starting to be visible and is accelerating. We are past the Mercedes and Land Rover Years….the camels are on the horizon. .[/SIZE]

Great news. Don’t need the federal government running the states elections.

On this date, June 22, 1980, a man busted through the doors of my church and opened fire. Five very beautiful people lost their lives. 15 others were wounded.
The shooter, a mentally ill retired teacher, got as far as a half-block down the street and shot himself. He survived it.
Nobody in the media, nobody in my town, nobody in my church – blamed guns. Instead, we blamed the shooter. HE was responsible for what happened, not guns.
It was a tragic day. A day we never dreamed we'd see in our small little town. But today, its common place. The most tragic part – is how far away we are from a solution. We continue to send our mentally ill home with meds and HOPE they decide to take them each day. In 1972, we had twice as many health facilities as we do today.
The real hope-killer for us today, is that so many blame the gun, not the shooter. We've eliminated personal responsibility. We excuse that in favor of, shockingly, disarming America. So the dog is on the wrong scent.
This will continue to happen, rinse, repeat.

You can certainly make light of it but it is a fact that acts of violence, such as this would be, is part of the right's playbook, i.e. Gov Whitmer, Rep Giffords, the insurrection.

I'd say they are rare occurrences. On the other hand, you had 90+ straight days of looting, rioting, burning, pillaging of Portland (and many other cities) and nobody on your side even blinked. People actually were attacked and died. This wasn't rare, this was a continuing disaster and it was not only allowed to happen, but encouraged.

During an insurrection, the offenders are armed, which allows them to take over. When the suspects aren't armed, you might consider there was no take over planned or carried out and its simply a figment of your political wishful thinking. This is why the insurrection idea does not gain traction in America, other than the heavy-breathing political idiots.

The ONLY fatality coming as a result of the events of that day was the murder of a protestor by an CHPD officer who so far has been protected by the partners in crime in Congress. One side is excused for breaking the law, the other side is investigated to no end. lol Isn't that how it works? lol

So the only violence caused that day came at the hands of your side.

SHA……Rotty has stated previously that Ashli Babbit was shot justifiably. She was unarmed but shot? Since when has that been justified? Because it was a black capital police officer shooting a white woman is why he thinks it’s justified. We would know and the officer would be sitting in a jail cell for 1st degree murder if it had been a white officer shooting a black woman and everybody knows that.

I don't know, the video I saw showed a white guy with the gun pointed at Babbit. Maybe I was wrong.

'In the classroom, free speech does not apply,' a workshop spokeswoman said. 'As instructors, we can tell our students no, you do not have the right to say that, stop talking right now.'
