  1. This:

    I don't know how "we the People" make it happen, but I feel we NEED to get bill rammed through Congress to enact Term Limits. I figure the Republicans want the old Democrats out, and the Democrats want the old Republicans out, so there aught to be a way to get a bill on the ballot without any blockage from the people WE elected to do what WE need them to do... It would take one heckuva grass-roots effort to make it happen, though.

    Term limits by themselves, will not solve everything.  But it is a damn good place to start and it certainly will rock the boat of the career politicians and the companies/groups that have 'bought' them.   I whole heatedly agree with this and IN fact I bring it up to everyone I know. 

  2. Jerry52, what I am observing everyday that is happening to our country really causes my blood pressure to rise, and my hope to fade.  I cannot retire yet, but I do look forward to the day I can, so I can spend more time with my girls, to teach them all I know before I am pushing daisies.  My girls are 8 and 12, I started real late.  As long as I have time to teach them, I don't care.  My 12 year old is at that stage that she is asking really tough, thought provoking questions.  There is so much to discuss right now, it is mind blowing....

    I do hope, as you said, that, 'All this unrest will fade as it always does like a coral reef always growing larger on what was once alive.' I am not sure it will.  But I hope it does and I hope our country can go back to being 'normal' once again, whatever version of 'normal' you choose. 

    Semper Fi and stay safe.

  3. Patriot, you are correct.  We NEVER HOARD and damn if it almost didn't bone us this time.  I have 8 and 12 year old girls (recent bdays for both) and as I said, luckily we had enough of what we needed.  But fuck hoarders and I hope they choke on the shit.

    But that's just me....

     

    Tried to post a pic, but could not.  Don't get it.  ???

  4. As I said, we could have come out of this much wiser and less dependent on China, but after seeing this atrocity, I doubt it.  Truly perverse and disgusting how THEY spend our money.  I did not fact check this, but none of it surprises me.

    American population: 330,483,530

    Stimulus bill: $2,000,000,000,000

    Dividing the cost by every person in America is $6,051.74.
    The government could have given every person over $6,000, but instead will give $1,200 to each adult under a certain income.

    Because of bailouts.

  5. I don't know what to say. Really.  All these people hoarding should have their asses kicked.  Literally.  This shit is just unreal.  Yes, China should be held accountable for this shit.  Just as with the other shit sandwich viruses that came from them.  But they will not.  China's grasp is far too powerful. Now, as for the US, we CAN come away from this with our economic heads out of our asses IF we learn to start cutting reliance on them.  We shall see. But I believe to many Politicians as well as Business's have deep pockets with them.   AND I hope the media gets it in their ass for all of these maniacal and relentless BS reporting they are doing. 

    Stay safe, stay smart and  this too shall pass.

  6. Me and my daughter went to the grocery store last night and we witnessed a pretty long military convoy heading south.  I will make a guess that it was part of the build up for the border.  My daughter asked why, and I explained to her it was President Trumps order to reinforce the border to keep illegal people from coming into the United States (talked about the 'caravan/invasion force coming).  All she said was 'You go President Trump!'  She is 10 and understands what is going on.  Very proud of her.
