Why Is accomplishment a Bad Thing To the Youth and Good Thing for Older People

   Without a working and accurate knowledge of history, as young people are, the young tend to listen to those who are speaking. And those who are speaking to them, activists, know how to trigger and convince them to react according to their narrative. From the Internet they are pummeled by destructive ideas and confusing values from activists who disguise themselves as above average intellectuals. And the young people believe them and repeat their designs online disguised as more intellectuals. 

   You know, there comes a point in the process of maturity where we must dispense or reject  the values of our parents and establish our own, persona. If that happens at the same time political or radical activists are in the same proverbial room that we are in it is easy to see how we can leave conservative tracks into radicalism. 

   We are not as smart as we think we are, especially when we are young adults. Through lessons learned about productive habits and engagement in the American Dream as we work and educate our way there, we grow into Western Liberalism minded adults, desirous of values like personal liberty, success orientation and small government. Online abuse of these values has, of course, brought more disagreement from young people about these ideas and there is little we can do about that. We, as always, hope they grow up before some terrible event damages them or worse. 

   The difference between 1954 and now is the internet. Young people are reading and listening to truly bad ideas and one of the consequences of this is big government with bad ideas that get votes, like heroin and cocaine and fentanyl legalization and entitlements for everyone...equality of  outcomes instead of opportunities.

    Equality of outcomes is the working population giving part of their income to provide a basic income for everyone else. Those of us who are knowledgeable about this understand that is Socialism leading to Communism...and economic collapse...things like worldwide famine and revolution for the leftovers.

   Some young people cannot see success as a good thing. Instead they buy the narrative that this is a few taking wealth from the many, the standard narrative that refuses the notion that necessity is the mother if invention. Humans are able to predict outcomes. Unfortunately some only see the inconvenience of denying the benefit of the obvious. 

   

   Clear to us older citizens of the world, that cannot have a good ending. Still it is being called for by activists. In 1954 it would have been tantamount to advising young people to play Russian Roulette with a loaded gun. No editor would have allowed a news reader to say such things. Now there is no editor between bad ideas and publication. 

   One should observe radicals with the question: How much of this narrative comes from their desire for convenience? In this "modern" era people appear to be moving left as a result of convenience...backed up by their "friends" online...people they have never met...listening to them instead of their parents and family. It's the same as when I was young and my parents worried about who I associated with after school time.  As adults we all know how bad things can happen to or children when we are not watching out for them. Now the internet is bringing those bad actors right into their bedrooms 24 hour a day, 7 days a week,  telling them the quick, easy way is the best way.

Kelly Ann Conway on Current Concerns

   Says the two dominant issues that Americans are concerned with this year are the millions of illegals and deadly drugs freely flowing into the US over our open Southern Border, and bringing inflation under control. Two issues, by the way, that the leftist Media organizations fantasize about... Gaslighting that they are insignificant. 

   If you ask a parent of one of the 70,000 people who died of a fentanyl overdose in 2022, I'll wager they wouldn't say that, but Media types can say anything and not be challenged for it. 

   I can see Shift and Bernie and Schumer and Hillary and Pelosi laughing at the turmoil. Laughing at us. 

Please leave a comment so I will know you are out there. Thanks. Jim Self

Hey Elon

 I am still locked out and I have no idea what I said to piss your staff off... I'd like to know. On second thought, I can see that you aren't concerned. It was pretty shitty what you all did to me. So I discontinued my Twitter account. Please discontinue taking my money.

Trump Says He Will Deport All Illegals

 

   It's convenient to talk this way. It will get him votes. But it's a short lived victory, based on an impossible notion. Since Media Companies are controlled, basically, by Leftist Socialists, Democrats will direct them to instruct us as to the cruelty and the inhumanity. Just like the false narrative of Border Police whipping and running down illegals while riding horseback, that evolved instant outcries from everyone who believed it to be true, so will it build a hatred of conservatives for destroying an "entire race" of people by sending them back into their "shithole" countries...the very Trump phrase that pretty much started the WOKE movement that still drives the narrative today. Imagine Media's war on conservatives a thousand times bigger. It will bring the government down, again. That's what Trump has in store for us. I hate to say it, but along with his attractive Charismatic Patriotism he has a terminal problem. If he is elected he won't get anything done because Media (Remember Zuck Bucks) controls the herd and the herd casts their votes and all the votes they can invent. Remember that.

One more thing. The refugee crisis  is not the result of global climate warming due to CO2. It is because of population growth in third world countries. The failure of third world governments to provide infrastructure for clean water, modern sewage treatment, representative government with  security and high expectations that we have in the United States. It's created Socialistic  growth failure in business and in economies. Without growth you have no investment because no growth means little accumulation of capital for use. And in this world you spell growth: j o b s. That is the  Crux of what's going on. Those people are escaping poverty that is unending and forever if they stay, and corruption and criminality at a level that is unimaginable in our country. 

Regardless of the reason, the refugee issue is real and the United States is the most desirable place to live in the world, so they are coming here. Think about it. Our border has been basically wide open forever. What's changed? Media promises of freedom and wealth in America. That's what has changed. 

Contacting People. Is the World Hacked?

 How do we contact people like Elon Musk or Nikki Haley? Try it. I tried to contact Elon and his people because I was out of line but I don't know what I did. They haven't told me. I won't be surprised if we find that we have been censored by leftists and maybe Elon doesn't really care about any of this.

Also,  I am wondering if  WinRed is a fraudulent site. I have tried to contribute to her campaign and all of my cards are being declined. They work everywhere else. It could be my age but the only way to send her money is directly to her address on Daniel Island...for me, anyway. At least there is that.

My Facebook was hacked and my account has been locked for a week now. No Idea why. They haven't said. Facebook is a low priority in my life. Thank God for the sanity. But I do like to keep track of my friends.

I fully expect to find out at some time that both of these sites have been hacked...by Democrats. That's the bad news. The good news is that I am getting along just fine without either Facebook or Twitter. It's refreshing not to have queers and Socialist Democrats and reparations and seeing white people getting the shit kicked out of themselves by blacks...in my face with the rest of it. I don't need all of that. I just need a place to say it publicly like all of the rest of the angry Americans. Seems like the left have the attention of America and we are locked out, Is that what is going on?

IS Anyone Else Having a Problem with REDWIN Declining Your Cards?

 

I have carefully tried to contribute my small contributions to Nikki Haley's campaign through the RedWin sit but the site declines all of my cards...cards that work everywhere else. And I have attempted t notify her. I sent her the first contribution to her home on Daniel Island. It went through, check was deposited. Guess I will do that again. I want her to win but how can she win with this problem? I don't know the answer.

X is an Enabler for Extremists

    It's true. Twitter is the goto outlet for radicals. I don't know about the others but my Twitter experience has been watching radical homosexuals spread their hateful and immoral crap around the Internet for us all to experience and I am telling you that I am tired of it.

   I have been limited because of tweeting something they didn't like... The truth...and to my chagrin and requests they haven't shown me what it was. After this I think it's time to pull the plug on X. 

   For how many years I have participated but I think it was truly wasted time. So, unless something happens to change my mind, I am done with it. And Elon Musk? Goes to the bottom my list. ..  where the leech of the century, Zuckerberg, lives. 

X Discouraging

   X put me on limited access. They haven't shown me what for, though I asked. 

   Browsing I saw lawyer Cohen lambasting Trump supporters because Trump was going to assassinate some of his opponents.

   Something to think about is that by reading or watching things published like this we are assigning  them probability. Skits or actual recordings of violence on Twitter mostly, actually teach failing people how to get attention, not to mention whatever they are stealing. 

   Is X really a good thing? I am thinking it may be time to cancel my X subscription. Elon may have to do it without me. 

   God bless America. 

   

Some percentage of people will gladly take anything government will offer, regardless of the cost.

 

   There has been a lot of talk about closing the department of education. If Democrats had their way the  Department of Education  would be feeding America children three hot meals per day, scheduling abortions and sex transformation clinical appointments, all other medical appointments, supplying daily clothing, legal representation, psychiatric care, cutting hair and all other needs that parents are tasked with providing for our children since we parents can't seem to do it as seamlessly as they desire...while  and rewriting history to promote their fascist agenda and having us arrested for objecting. I can see feeding them a lunch but parental responsibility is part of life and should remain that way.

  Some percentage of people will gladly take anything government will offer, regardless of the cost.  

     All federal departments can be easily corrupted because they do not have to respond to dissenting citizens. Think about it. Schools are guiding our confused children towards sex transformations. Can you think of anything more harmful? Consequences will include massive law suits against all who are responsible ..right up until the Democrats give them immunity.
     Democrats would have the department of education  feeding America three hot meals per day, scheduling abortions and sex transformation clinical appointments for our children, having us arrested for objecting and rewriting history to promote their fascist agenda. LGBTgay psychiatric clinics, suicide clinics, dating and safe sex clinics...medical and psychiatric visits...the list is long and falls under parental responsibility until the government steps in.
     All federal departments can be easily corrupted because they do not have to respond to dissenting citizens. Think about it. Digital currency might be fine on the surface but the Federal Government will suddenly knows exactly how much we spend on recreation, alcohol, gasoline, food, education, supporting our churches, contributing to opposing political activities and Representatives.
     You may say that's not so bad but consider that the next shoe to drop will be that by exerting control of your spending they can, and will, control how much you spend on these things. In China, if your politics is not correct your credit rating and employability decreases. Can you imagine?
   No more banks. Won't need them with no paper or coin money.
    The FBI has been what really looks like a terrorist organization since 2015. I mean, if crawling in bed and directing anti Trump activity lies in concert with the Hillary Clinton campaign isn't terrorism I don't know what is. Point is that Federal departments are being weaponized. The FBI is still pursuing J6 observers of a false insurrection.
   In the past, in order to enslave us, they had to take physical control of people. But it's much easier to control people by controlling their money through confiscatory taxation and assessments. 

Digital currency will give the government all the power they need to enslave .

Where Are We At Economically?

 Bond yields now are the inflation rate plus 1-2%. ..around 4.6%. Below that investor appetite wanes. 

Spending a half trillion a year more than what we take in means we have to sell that much in additional bonds each year.

Our debt is getting so high and the interest we have to pay to service that debt is getting so high that we are at the point where we are borrowing some money to pay that interest. 

What does that mean? Well, if we stopped overspending right now we could stop the growth and begin to pay it down a little at a time which would be healthy and promote growth and strength. But, that clearly is not going to happen. What is going to happen, and this is what everyone should know, is that given the present rate of debt growth, our expense to service that debt, paying interest annually and paying out principle as bonds mature, will quickly accelerate. 

This will be a worldwide event. When the U.S. sneezes the world catches a cold. Remember, without credit economic activity slams on the brakes. Credit freezes up. Bankers cry on television. The stock market crashes. The government can't create money to support credit because there are no investors.  Jobs vanish. It means a big recession, a huge contraction, layoffs as corporations close their doors. 

WW2 came as the world struggled to grow out of the Great Depression. Hitler blamed the Jews among others and used that hate to fuel his war. It worked. We can see that hate right now over Israel defending against Hamas. People starved in cities then. Remember pictures of people standing in long lines at soup kitchens because they were hungry.  This depression will probably be much worse. Children will die.

Republicans want to reduce spending. We should listen to them if you want your children to have a decent standard of living as adults. Not spending more than we make is important.

Things I Noticed:

 Biden let Title 42 expire, calling Central Americans to the USA border. One day later, he instituted Title 8, which is more stringent than 42. Why did he wait? We have seen thousands and thousands coming North toward the border for a month now. He saw them. His advisors saw them. Yet nothing was done. Some 40,000 people are currently waiting across the border now with no where to go except forward. Some are continuing to come across. Title 8 is not being observed. Right now we are releasing them, giving them a number to call once they are where they are headed. They call and they will get benefits until their court date. In five years, some of them.  

   Joe Biden created this situation on purpose and he is obviously pleased for his cleverness. I am ashamed of him and of Mayorkas who should be fired. Mayorkas said on TV that he wants the border open to allow immigrants in so they can work and send those dollars back home. That's what I heard him say. He should have been canned then. 

  Ashley Moody, Florida Attorney General, said they have a memo from Biden's gov instructing Border Patrol that when 42 expired the border gates will be thrown open, allowing all to pass. I suppose Biden was asleep when Mayorkas sent that memo? I don't know. How could that happen?

    It seems to me that at the very least Biden is easy to pass crazy ideas, at least at times. It's pretty obvious that something is wrong. News of the Biden family receiving millions inappropriately is breaking through Medias' protective silence. Sooner or later someone will file impeachment paperwork and them the light will be shown on that. The country has already seen Hunter's pics from his computer doing all kinds of seemingly illegal and immoral things. The FBI is busy protecting him, apparently. 

   

December Update...Not AP or CNN! From Jim Self

    Word is that we are moving/shipping huge, overloaded barges of coal out of West Virginia headed for Germany currently. Every day, long lines of loaded barges. I am so glad to see this.  Germany is not happy with high prices Russia is charging and threatening to charge in terms of money cost and participation in the resistance against his war of genocide on Ukraine.  Winter is from December through March so there is plenty of cold weather time left for Putin to freeze good Europeans to death. God bless Putin and I hope that the Lord is not reticent in his handling of him and his sorry ass.  

   Listening to Jordan Peterson, it seems that Trudeau announced when it happened the "horrific" decision by the US Supreme Court to lift Roe vs Wade, and depriving American women of their right to an abortion, which we all know is complete bull shit, as an example of Trudeau's lack of wisdom. He probably shouldn't be holding the job of Prime Minister. Just like in Joe Biden's case, there are plenty of people who better represent the interests of their people. Those who would consider  all sides of issues and foster compromise and agreement instead of division and violence. Just like when Trudeau tried unsuccessfully to blame the Truckers' finances on American Right Wing when most of the money to support their protests came from Canadians and Biden's denial that the border is indeed open in spite of the mass flows we see in the press everyday, acting as if we are simply too stupid to understand what is going on. Another lie among many.

   Did you know that 40% of Congressmen and women and whatevers sleep in their offices? What does that mean? One thing is that they don't talk to one another socially like they used to when the had apartments and hotel rooms and social interaction. Here we are with Democrats and Republicans voting in blocks like they never talk to one another, to work out their differences, to reach compromises. Trudeaus Parliament works on Zoom and is slated to do that for another half a year. "Standing together, divided we fall" are words that describe reality. It's not even a pep rally, I'm afraid. But content is much more important. Getting together to discuss things and at least try to find a consensus on important issues is too important to rely zoom where only a few can talk at one time and the Media has no idea what people are saying. How do we conduct government like that?

   One more thing. The Afghanis we left... We need to go back in and get them and their families out, just like we promised we would do.

   Rebuilding trust in Media will only be possible in cases where news organizations demonstrate they are careful to address opposing  sides of an issue. CNN has been so one sided for so long I  am dubious about their ability to make the change. 

   And we must regain control of the border. 

Vanguard pulls out of Al Gore's leftist climate scam.

 With 7 trillion dollars of assets, Vanguard pulled out of Gore's global partnership. Why? Because they see this and him for what they are. 

Epson Printer Failure proved temporary.

 My Epson 2860 Printer quit printing. I hate computers. It's still using new set of printer cartridges. Not the ones it came with.  Resolution! Reinstalled the black cartridge and we are printing again! So there you go. Not as bad as I originally thought.

I Deactivated My Twitter Account

 I like Elon Musk. I appreciate what he is doing with Twitter. That being said, I have a few problems with Twitter. After a few years I am still down under 1400 friends on it. That means I haven't been trying enough or I don't understand it. I refuse to call for signups from people I have no commonality with. That's the reason my numbers are low. If you want to be heard you have to find the venue. I put out a call for responses to check my activity and got two responses. Two.  I am wasting my time. So I am walking away. Going to find another way or not, but for me, Twitter is a cartoon. A waste of time. So, unless something happens to change my mind, I will be reading Jordan Peterson and watching a little bit of Amazing Polly, who may be a little bit crazy, but she's entertaining. And she keeps her clothes on. 

Visit To The FED

 A VISIT TO THE FED 

Jim Self

12/15/2021

I saw a fella in the FED office the other day behind a desk with a phone and a computer and a cardboard box. Fred was his name. He received a phone call apparently from the treasurer and he was told the government had some bills to pay but no money in the checking account and they needed to write out about 40 billion dollars in checks this week. So Fred pulled out a blank bond, wrote 40 billion dollars on it, and put it in the box with a bunch more of them. Then he typed in $40 billion in his computer on the place that said, “Deposit”. Under “Balance”, the number changed from $0 to $40 billion. Then under “IOU” the number changed from “$28 trillion” to “28 trillion, 40 billion.

   

He said,” When we need money we tell the market on this phone. Anybody who wants a bond just calls me and tells me how much they want in interest. If it's too high we just say sorry, No can do. Then we write out our own bond. They are like IOUs. If we didn't do that we would have to pay 6 or 7 percent on the bonds. Way too much. Listen. If we had to pay 7% on these bonds we would owe...well....7% of 28 trillion dollars is $1.96 trillion. But let's keep that to ourselves. OK? Don't want everyone to know that. As long as we can keep writing and buying our own bonds we can keep the interest rate down around 1%".

I asked him how many of those bonds he has. He opened a back door to the office and there were racks lining both sides of the hall 200 feet long and about two thirds of them were stacked to the ceiling like books in a library. Hundreds of them. He pointed at them and said, “All of those boxes were full”.

We all know that borrowing too much money is a bad thing. “Well, what happens if you owe it to yourself? Do you still have to pay interest on the bonds? I asked. He said,” Sure! No problem! We just write out another bond to cover the checks!”

When I walked out of there I didn't feel very good about things and I still don't.

I don't think I can leave this alone. So there will be more to come. Just remember...how much 1.96 trillion dollars is. Compare it to the 700 billion Defense Bill we just passed. 

And then consider the 1.75 trillion dollar budget Build Back Better that Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and their Progressive followers are fighting for...and what they will fight for next time...and next time...and next time.

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act

 Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 states that “no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance” — through their diversity initiatives.

It does not provide exceptions in light of efforts to accommodate minorities or groups for past systemic discrimination. This protects everyone, even white people, supposedly.

Here's How To Stop this Virus Ourselves

We can stop the virus by wearing a filter mask and washing our hands and faces as common sense dictates.  Instead of quarantines, we COULD have just made it illegal to go out without a mask. I think we all ran right by this for the sake of testing, which won't save a damn soul. Only the sick test, pretty much exclusively. What's the point? Seeking more information for the sake of getting more information is wasting our time. Do a little research, make your family some filter masks.

Follow these steps:

Do necessary shopping early, before the crowds come in.

Make a mask...Wear mask.Safety glasses that seal keep virus from floating into your eyes. Here is just one of many ways to make a mask. You are stopping dust and water droplets that the virus tags along on. This will probably be enough. Double the thickness and feel ever better about it.
https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=how+to+make+a+mask+for+coronavirus&&view=detail&mid=AB57B012799113C025F0AB57B012799113C025F0&rvsmid=16ADD8355F3A0D8D1F6D16ADD8355F3A0D8D1F6D&FORM=VDQVAP

Don't touch anything you don't buy.

Keep your hands away from your face.

Wash your hands with soap and water or 70% Alcohol before touching the steering wheel or anything else in the car. Grain alcohol from the liquor store is cheap and 90 % strong. And if you want, you can have a drink. Rubbing alcohol is poisonous. 

When you get home wipe down the packages with alcohol.

I put some of them in direct sunlight. I believe the ultraviolet light kills the virus.

Take a bath or shower then, putting your clothes directly into the washer.

That's how to stay healthy right now. If everyone just wore a mask and washed up this virus would be dead and gone in 30 days.

You know...we are smarter than a virus. Republicans are, anyway. Take care of yourself. jimself1954@gmail.com

PS: Get some vodka that has been distilled 5 times and drink some every day. It's only 40%, so you shouldn't use it to wash. It won't help keep the virus away, but being locked in your house all day with your spouse and children, it might keep you sane.

Democrats Have Lost Their Minds

Democrats are people who have lost their minds. Open borders, free everything for the world, Taxpayer funded and unregulated abortion and infanticide, no guns because we trust..."gulp"...Democrats, voting rights for illegal immigrants who are foreign citizens, voting rights for convicts. Trump and our Republicans have lowered my taxes by a great deal, inspired confidence in the economy for investors to invest driving growth and job creation, are securing the border in spite of Democrat opposition, strengthened the badly weakened military and shown Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer that they cannot use our system of justice and rules to illegally take over our government and reverse an election. The Democrats can join us right now and we can address health care together, putting something together that doesn't wreck the whole economy. Right now. Why not? Because their leadership is busy trying to oppose our President with everything they've got. WHERE ARE THE SANE DEMOCRATS? Ya know, they say they want to make this a peaceful place by eliminating guns while passing laws that make it unlawful to treat a late term aborted but living baby because it is not wanted? My response to that is completely unprintable. Mitch McConnell wants a law that makes it illegal to have an elective/birth control abortion after 20 weeks. That's a damn good idea. 12 would be better but I would take 20. Snowflakes! Good Lord help us! jimself1954@gmail.com
