Things to Ponder



Why is it that when archaeologists find human remains, they always determine that they are either male or female and none of the other hundreds of g****rs?


Why is it that so many are more outraged that Brittney Griner was stuck in Russia than they were about Americans being stranded in Afghanistan?


How is it that the government can't control gasoline prices... but claims the weather is something they can fix?


We're churning out a generation of poorly educated people with no sk**l, no ambition, no guidance, and no realistic expectations of what it means to go to work.


If kids knew what they wanted to be at age eight, the world would be filled with cowboys and princesses. I wanted to be a pirate. Thank goodness nobody took me seriously and scheduled me for eye removal and peg leg gery.


Why were we told to lower our AC usage on hot days to prevent overwhelming the electric grid while simultaneously being told to trade in our gas cars for electric vehicles?


Why is canceling student debt a good idea? Does it make sense to reward people who do not honor their financial commitment by taxing the people who do?


Does it make sense to cut off oil from an ally and buy it from an enemy who calls for your death?


Are we living in a time where intelligent people are silenced so that stupid people won't be offended?


Is this a great description of America?: Andy has left town and Barney is in charge?


Why is talking sexually in the workplace considered sexual harassment to adults...but talking about sexuality to children K-3 at school considered education?


Who else had a 'ministry of t***h' ...Hitler...Goebbels...Stalin, and Biden may be working on one.


Eliminating the production of 500,000 American barrels of oil a day to buy 500,000 barrels a day from Russia is simply... well... stupid.



I saw a movie where only the police and military had guns; it was called Schindler's List.


If your electric car runs out of power on the interstate, do you walk to a charging station to get a bucket of electricity?


Why are we running out of money for Social Security and Medicare and not for welfare, i******s, and free college?


I just got a full tank of gas for $22. Granted, it was for my lawn mower, but I'm trying to stay positive.


There is a coin shortage. America is officially out of common sense.


If an 18-year-old isn't mature enough to own a firearm, then maybe five-year-olds aren't mature enough to change their g****r.


DON'T V**E FOR WHAT YOU FLED!


Nobody called it "Toxic Masculinity" when we were saving the world.


Mice die in mouse traps because they do not understand why the cheese is free. Just like socialism.


The most powerful governments on earth can't stop a v***s from spreading...but they say they can change the earth's temperature if you pay more taxes



Want to stop drunk drivers from k*****g sober drivers? Ban sober drivers from driving. That's how gun control and C***D lockdowns work.



If you don't want to stand for the national anthem, perhaps you should give your legs to a veteran who lost his. That way a real man can stand in your place.


If socialism is so good and capitalism is so bad...then why aren't the caravans heading to Venezuela?


History is not there for us to like or dislike. It is there for us to learn from. And if it offends you, even better...because then you are less likely to repeat it. It is not anyone's to erase...it belongs to all of us.



This explains why the United States is absolutely... unequivocally not the country that I grew up in.

Everyone is beating up on slo joe Bribem according to recent polls. From President Trump to Rin DeSantis to Nikki Haley to Vivek, all these Repub candidates are taking joe to the cleaners which is why I am considering taking a stab at the Presidency in 2024. When I become president, I will immediately institute domestic oil drilling on a grand scale, I will close our borders and use our military to secure it, I will withdraw from the U.N., I will round up as many i*****l a***ns as possible and send them all back, maybe 25 million, back to their own lousy countries, I will demand a balanced budget with no punting of the deficit down the road, I will stop funding to universities and tell all students to get jobs to pay for their own educations, I will educate the islamists on how to peacefully co-exist with other religions and nations, I will immediately defund government sponsored a******n, B*M and A****a thugs will be imprisoned for treason and the 10 Commandments will be posted in every school and every government bldg. I should win in a landslide.

Even before the p******c — made worse by Trump’s rejection of basic public health protocols — the economy was creating far fewer jobs under Trump than it has under Biden’s watch, and the median wage was lower. On foreign policy, Trump coddled Putin, emboldening him to attack Ukraine, and supported anti-democracy movements in Europe.

As I noted recently, Biden is the only adult in the room. He is also the most progressive, labor-friendly president we’ve had since Franklin D. Roosevelt. His legislative record would be judged successful even if he hadn’t had a razor-thin majority in his first two years against the most hostile Republicans in memory.

Be smart, elect Biden!

Dear world: I don’t care

I don’t care if you’re out on the street, waving your f**g and chanting your slogans. We won’t die silently the way you want us to

I don’t care that you sympathize with Hamas.

I know you wouldn’t tolerate any of the things they did to us if they would’ve done it to you.

I don’t care that you’re outraged by Israel’s response to the massacre more than the massacre itself.

I know you would do everything to eliminate such pure evil if you experienced it yourself.

I don’t care that this doesn’t fit neatly into your carefully constructed narrative of ‘Israel as aggressor’ and ‘Palestinian as victim.’

The t***h hurts sometimes, but hey, don’t let facts get in the way of your feelings.

I don’t care if you think we are at fault, that we had it coming, that Hamas’ actions’ didn’t occur in a vacuum (or to deny they ever happened).

If you feel that the poster of a kidnapped child hurts your cause, maybe yours is a lost cause.

I don’t care about your calls for a premature ceasefire, about your demand that we provide them with electricity, that we stop fighting for ‘humanitarian reasons.’

What of a humanitarian gesture to release our 230+ hostages – elderly, children, babies – snatched from their cribs?

I don’t care that you’ve rallied for Palestine as part of your march for L***Q rights, t***s rights, workers rights, socialism, c*****e c****e, intersectionality, Black L***s M****r, fighting Islamaphobia and ‘all forms of r****m.’

Your gullibility would be laughable if it wasn’t so hypocritical. None of those things exist under Hamas.

I don’t care that you ‘love Jewish people – just h**e Israel’, that you have some friends that are Jewish, that maybe you’re ethnically Jewish yourself – and therefore you’re entitled to levy every libel in the playbook against us.

Words matter. They lead to actions. When a lie is repeated often enough it’s accepted as t***h. You are laying the groundwork for more attacks against us.

I don’t care that you wave the f**g of ‘human rights’, that you’ve become overnight experts in international law, that you shout fancy slogans you don’t understand such as proportionality, occupation and apartheid.

Your humanity is selective. In your mind, human rights don’t apply to us because we are undeserving. You didn’t speak up when our women and children were horribly assaulted.

I don’t care if you think we are colonialists, imperialists and settlers and that we should just go back to where we came from.

We are back to where we came from.

I don’t care if you believe in a one-state solution, a two-state solution, a federation, an internationalized Jerusalem or any other theory drawn up in your ivory tower.

We won’t readily hold out our necks and endanger our lives in order to satisfy your thought experiments and placate your conscience from afar.

I don’t care if you consider yourself anti-Z*****t but not antisemitic.

We’ve seen enough Jews around the world attacked over the last 3 weeks under the guise of ‘anti-Z*****m’.

I don’t care that you think we are too powerful, too technologically advanced, too sophisticated.

If we didn’t build ourselves up to this point we’d get eaten alive by Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Iran and Palestinian terrorism.

I don’t care that you blame us for 1948 refugees, for the fact that they have no state, for the keys that they wave in their fantasy of ‘right of return.’

Three weeks ago we got a glimpse of what that ‘return’ looks like and what it means for our children.

I don’t care if you think we aren’t real Jews, that Z*****m has nothing to do with Judaism, that Jews are a religion and not a nationality and so we deserve no state.

Your denials have zero impact on the strength of our ideals and the self-affirmation of our identity.

I don’t care that you accuse us of flaunting the myriad UN resolutions, inquiries and statements.

They reflect more on the institutional decay of the UN than on us.

I don’t care about your media coverage, the lies, the equivocation, the acceptance of Hamas talking points and statistics.

Your echo chamber is just another weapon in their strategic arsenal.

I don’t care that you accused us of bombing the Al Ahli hospital.

It was only a matter of time before you found a symbol for Israel’s wickedness. The subsequent retractions were a fig leaf once the t***h emerged that Islamic Jihad was responsible and that the hospital is still standing.

I don’t care that you see us as a criminal state, a terror state, usurpers, baby k**lers, Christ-k**lers, Khaybar Jews or any other depravity that exists in your mind.

Your libels lay the groundwork for our dehumanization. Rings a bell. We will fight it.

I don’t care that you’ve inverted the t***h by accusing us of genocide.

If positions were reversed and Hamas held the power we do now, you’d see what a genocide looks like.

I don’t care that you’re angry, boiling and outraged.

I don’t care that you’re glued to your TV screens and Telegram channels.

I don’t care that you’re mad.

I don’t care if you’re out on the street, waving your f**g and chanting your slogans.

We won’t die silently the way you want us to.

For the first time in 2,000 years we are organized, we are motivated and we will defend ourselves.

We fight for light over darkness,

Morality over evil.

Not that it matters to you – but we will stick to the rules and hold the high moral ground not because you expect it from us, but because they are a value for us.

We will do so ethically and thoughtfully, for we are the People of the Book.

Our power and strength are a necessity because the alternative for us is:

Be’eri, Kfar Aza, Pittsburgh, Toulouse, Farhud, Hebron, Birkenau, Belzec, Babi Yar, Kristalnacht, Kielce and Kishinev.

Do you think for a moment that we would return to that reality just to make you feel a little better?

You are deeply mistaken…

World,

For so, so long, I really, deeply cared.

I cared about fitting in;

I cared about what you think;

I cared about being a model citizen;

I cared about setting a personal example of how a tiny people in a tough neighborhood could still be a Light unto the Nations.

How the world’s oldest minority – now a majority here – could treat its own internal minorities par excellence amidst the complicated and messy reality of ethnic conflict;

How we could painfully dismember parts of our homeland and offer them on the platter of peace to Palestinians that want neither peace nor some parts (they want all of it);

How we could dazzle you with USB sticks, drip irrigation, operating system kernels, Nobel Prize winners, swallowable medical cameras, deep tech, quantum mechanics, generative AI and cures for disease.

But now I’m finally accepting that you don’t care.

You never did.

You don’t see and you don’t hear.

And because I cared about what you think so much, that so deeply hurts.

But you don’t have my best interests at heart.

You take issue with my base identity, with what I represent.

Don’t expect me to wait for your approval this time.

It doesn’t matter what I do, you’re not going to change.

It doesn’t matter how I act, because your issue is with who I am.

Now I’m going to block out your noise and do what it takes to win this war.

Today
Finally
I no longer care

My response to this is a resounding

Can you feel the End Times coming? Are you afraid for your Life, your Family, your Home, and your Future?

You should be? America, you created it. You elected it. Argue all you want. But, you are one of 330 million in the phrase, "WE THE PEOPLE..."

What you fail to understand is quite simple.

I have earned the Right to be called an American Patriot among millions of American Patriots who protected and defended Your Right to be wh**ever You chose for yourself, over two Centuries before you screwed it all up.

You do not have the Right to destroy what we Patriots protected and defended.

Heed what I say here? I am not alone.

I was born in 1948 in South Philadelphia, PA. I have seen and lived this America before the birth of its Road to Destruction. I know who started this Country down this Road to Destruction. You cannot lie to me.

My Oath of Enlistment was to protect and defend this Republic, the Constitution, and Freedom, against all Enemies, foreign and Domestic, that including sacrificing my Life. That was in 1966. A perilous time in America. The beginnings of your travel down the Road to Destruction. I know. I lived that history.

I would spend 17 years learning and experiencing the true Nature of the Road of Destruction, both foreign and Domestic, in service to this Republic.

Imagine, if you dare, what I have learned and experienced, from the American People, all these many decades of my Life?

Today, by P**********l Decree, I am a Terrorist, just because I am a White, Christian, Conservative Male. So be it. In the eyes of the American People, I have been a second or third class Citizen, and called all kinds of names, all my Adult life, just because I was Soldier, a Veteran, and a White, Male.

In 1979, while a Leader of like minded Patriots in the National Guard, I faced the American version of the Enemy for ten very long days. It was called R**ting and Civil Unrest. I know the anguish of issuing the Order to Lock and Load against American R****rs, American Citizens. I made that decision.

There was no difference between their Hostility and the Hostilities I had already seen from Foreign Enemies. Just Blood thirsty Hatred and Anger and an absence of Civility in the destruction this Domestic Enemy caused. I see that same look of Hostility today, in Democrats and Republicans.

If I am a Terrorist, I suggest that the American People look in their Mirrors? You will see who and what you are. If you are one of those who are divided, angry, h**eful, and uncivilized, you will have that Hostility in your Heart and Mind? Your life will depend on what you see and decide next.

Yes, this Country will be at War. Because you are already at war with yourselves. You may not recognize or believe that. But, I was trained and experienced to recognize War, by you, the American People. I experienced it, both foreign, and Domestic.

I am not unique. I am not alone, either. People like me earned the Right to be American Patriots. We protected and defended your Right to be an American Citizen in this Republic, ruled by our Constitution, so you could live your life in Freedom. You are destroying that.

We expected you to be a Responsible American Citizen and Good Steward of this Republic. You can not do that as a Combatant Democrat or Republican, Uncivilized and Divided, Angry, and H**eful to each other, fighting a War neither of you can win?

At best, Democrats or Republicans, are but small portions of this Republic. Collectively, you have been allowed to rule this Republic for over 160 years. Look at the utter mess you made of this Society and this Republic?

Neither of you can be allowed to continue. You are both wrong. You are both destroying this Republic, trashing our Constitution, and stealing our Freedom.

American Patriots are watching you. Work out your differences like Peaceful, Civilized Americans? The choices are yours to make, be you Democrat or Republican.

If not? That is your choice, too.

Choose wisely?

** Do you know WHY no other country has tried to invade this country???***
Putin wants it badly
Xi wants it badly
But, who really wants it .
The ones already living here are trying get out.
I’m thinking lately I would sell my citizenship here for a $1.00 .
Citizens here are plainly on the wrong end of everything .
Today, if it hasn’t been stolen from you while you were sleeping , you will now need to pay more for it .
A small coffee at Dunkin now $3.10 .
Juan Valdez and his donkey
are still barely getting by .
So , what is it. ?
Citizenship for sale.
Sell today ,
Tomorrow it will be worth even less.
Seems the brave and the free have all left the building or vanished into homeless shelters , or
Homeless Cities .
Hooray !!!!!!!
Finally maga is winning .
