Get your Surfboards ready…I think it is coming.  (Quick Reference at the bottom to avoid the blathering)

So my picks are local, but my interests are with AZ. Kari Lake is the my kind of candidate. She knows the biz like no other …and is pissed at the lies she was forced to say from her editors in the last couple years.  She hit the campaign like a fireball and hasn’t let up. AZ was a shit show in 2020, but had enough reasonable people to perform the audit…but not the courage to act on it. Trump Won 2020…I still believe that…the fraud was immense…and hopefully everyone will see one day. But for now…California…

LA County Sheriff : Alex Villanueva

I did not want him when he first ran…but I am pleasantly surprised how well he handles the office. He now has my full support.

After a Shooting

1. Gun model must be included.
2. Parental situation required for all shooters under 21
3. Are SSRI’s involved?

When someone dies three questions must be asked:

1. Were they vaccinated.
2. Were they on Epstein’s List.
3. Do they have a connection to the democratic party?

Whenever a Celebrity Attacks President Trump.

1. Are they vaccinated?
2. Did they request to be on Celebrity Apprentice – and denied?
3. Did they ever meet him or ask him for money in the last 20 years?
4. Are they on Epstein’s List?

To a straight person, the Q cover all the other letters.

BLM and ‘Believe All women’ exist because they justifiably never EARNED trust.

Lizzo is fat….the law that oppresses her is gravity.

In all other sports women use the same equipment as men…..Why don’t women use a baseball?

‘Never hit a woman’ does not apply to cops on duty.

The great capitalist society divider is IQ (education can add 20 points if you complete)

The government states all men are created equal…why does every Democrat law say differently?

G Maxwell was convicted of trafficking kids……to and for who?

A few leftist historians said that Donald Trump would be the last elected President…I was surprised they were right.

Trump is a ‘Liar and a Fascist’ statements will no longer be valid without 2 references.

If the BBBY decision to cancel My Pillow was political and not financial…then the CFO suicide is fitting not tragic.

Ranked choice voting is a workable system. But you must whittle down to two not 51%. Otherwise it can be gamed. It is a way to remove a primary from the election system…Using as a primary AND Main election destroys the one man one vote statute. (All that being said…..Sarah Palin will easily win November election)

Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.

Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.

THE SITUATION: You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you’re caught in the middle of this epic disaster.

The situation is nearly hopeless. You’re trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
—————————————————————————————————–
THE TEST: Suddenly you see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the woman looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It’s Hillary Clinton!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever. You have two options–you can save the life of Hillary Clinton, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world’s most powerful women.
——————————————————————————————————-
THE TEST QUESTION: Here’s the test question, and please give an honest answer……

Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of a black and white photo?

The squared away Marine guard snaps to attention, Salutes, and says: “Nice pigs, sir.”

The President replies “These are not pigs. These are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Senator Hillary Clinton, and I got one for Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi.”

The squared away Marine again snaps to attention, salutes, and says, “Excellent trade, sir.”

It always amazes me when democrat defeatists (See Copperheads…etc) say we cant have another Vietnam…when it was bullshit like this defeatist resolution that caused the breakdown of Vietnam War.
-Don

I come before you tonight not to make amends, not to make it good, curry any favor or find any middle ground.

I am, more or less, a lame duck. You’™ve had your 100 hours of party time. I know. I won’t get any legislation passed without some major bottom-kissing. Maybe something on illegal aliens. That health insurance thing I’™ll be talking about later tonight is pretty much for show. I know it isn’t going anywhere. A proposal to raise middle-class taxes for a healthcare plan you don’t even want? What was I thinking?

None of that really matters. Not now. Those are peacetime issues we’™ve been bickering about for a long time, and I don’t expect we’™ll resolve them anytime soon.

So what is the best thing I can do tonight? I can tell you the truth. What none of you want to hear. What you’™ve been stopping your ears to. The ugly truth.

The State of the Union is a disaster. I did my best, but I made mistakes, and my best wasn’t good enough.

We went to war without building up our army, and now, I am trying to make up for that.

But that is not the disaster.

The disaster is that you, Congress and the American people, do not care to fight.

faced with a fundamental challenge to our own security, to everything we believe in, to the world order to peace and security for which we and our parents fought so hard for so many years, you now want to pretend like none of these threats are real. You want to surrender to the evil I have been telling you about. An evil that, unchecked, can consume large parts of the world and threatens to usher in a dark age.

You didn’t like it when I talked about evil. Sounded too simple, too uncompromising, too moralistic. Too ‘¦ biblical.

I don’t know what else you call people who fly passenger jets into office buildings; who rape women in front of their husbands and children, and execute their opponents in acid baths; who seek to spread tyrannical and archaic religious regimes that enslave women and stifle fundamental freedoms. Who want to dominate the world’s primary oil fields with nuclear weapons.

I call it evil. Works for me.

I’™ve heard all the comparisons between Iraq and Vietnam. George Bush’s Vietnam. The myopia is astonishing, even for me, George Bush, who you all think just isn’t that smart. But I learned something in school: People who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Didn’t you learn anything from Vietnam? Didn’t you see what happened when your predecessors in Congress, disgruntled and responding to public opinion polls just like you are, voted repeatedly to undermine an ally that was fighting for its survival and making headway against evil? There, I’™ve said it again. Millions of people were murdered or imprisoned.

And then, those who wished us ill ‘¦ the evil-doers ‘¦ evil, evil evil ‘¦ took advantage of our weakness.

The Soviet Union, evil personified, invaded Afghanistan, knowing we’™d do nothing about it. Iran defied all international norms, took our sovereign embassy and held our people hostage for 444 days. They knew we’™d do nothing about it. It was a massive humiliation we have been paying for with our own precious blood ever since.

Where do you think this war we are now engaged in started, anyway? Just ask Osama bin Laden, veteran of the Afghan war against the Soviets, what lesson he learned from two decades of American appeasement and withdrawal in the face of provocation.

Now, you want to negotiate with two of the world’s primary sponsors of terrorism, who are directly involved in support of the terrorists who murder our soldiers. You want to make an arrangement by which we will exit Iraq, and leave it to them. To loot, to murder, to fight over, while the rest of the world’s evil regimes look on, see our weakness, and plot their own moves.

You can try that, with resolutions, by cutting spending for troops in the field, as you seek the short-term satisfaction of withdrawal. But I remain President of the United States, and as long as I am, I will be no lame duck in this fight.

I will engage evil directly where I find it, in Iraq and in Iran. With an aggressive and ruthless new strategy and a plan to build our army as we should have a long time ago, I will show the American people that we can fight and we can win. I expect that the American people, though misled by their press and many of their elected representatives, will see results and will get it. Because the American people are a people who in the end don’t give up, don’t stop fighting, refuse to lose, and will choose to win. I have faith in them.

Oh, there’s another one of those words you don’t like.

A nation that is not willing to fight for what it believes in, for its place in the world, is not worthy of its own ideals. But that is not America. I now intend to help America restore its faith in itself. By fighting this necessary fight that we cannot afford to lose.

So ‘¦ are you with me, or against us?

– Jules Crittenden

Had a wild day yesterday. Voted for our next governor of Callefornea…along with 3,567,754 other like-minded people. The next 6 months are going to be a wild ride. I also added another challenge to my life by putting a bid on a house. Your transformation to adulthood is almost complete, young padewan… Commence balding and stress NOW…too late.

Here is one more reason to separate Norcal and Socal to separate states:

Arnold: Agreed with McClintock on most issues and attacked Davis and Cruz Bustamante for their failed programs and fiscal policies.

Camejo: Attacked Bush-It-s a California campaign!!…idiot. and said corporations get away with too much. Left Davis alone and attacked Arnold and Tom. Came off as a Socialist…good luck with that one.

Huffington: Attacked everyone (Bush Included) except Camejo. And didn-t bring up a single solution except take out corporate loopholes-. Great idea-charge businesses more-Oh that will keep them here. Made personal attacks on Arnold and Cruz….she really is the ultimate Ex-Wife.

McClintock: Has a long line of solutions, but was too much brain and not enough personality, and doesn-t look like he can bend enough to get things passed. And he didnt confront Arnold at all. Tom is a great man in the wrong state.

Cruz Bustamante: Took most of the attacks in stride but in a truly-You don-t understand- condescending way. Only solutions were more spending on colleges and Latinos-huh?

Who am I voting for: Arnold
Why am I voting for him: He is the one that can cater to both sides, but still stop the spending. Fiscal health is his number one priority.

My Platform:
1. Thumbprint added to all ID services.
2. Government takes over Utilities (Gas Water Electric)
3. Cut all redundant Social Programs (some programs exist on state and county and city levels- Basically cut every job Gumby …created.. in the last 4 years)
4. Allow San Fernando Valley to succeed from LA County…come on they deserve it.
5. Split State in 2 along Kern County. (Win/Win they lose all the immigration problems, we lose all the voting that created them… I don’t want to govern NorCals anyways)
6. School vouchers!!! (see below)
7. Widen the freeways, remove all carpool lanes, make all freeways like the 105 (trains and all)
8. State Run Bullet Train Union Station to Vegas (or legalize gambling take your pick)
9. Legalize and regulate Marijuana
10 Remove all affirmative action, But make state run loans available at 1% over prime to all regardless of location or race.
11 Lower over-tax on tobacco.
12 Flat-Tax income to 1% for California.
13 Sales tax to 5%.
14 Repeal Car Tax
15 Repeal Family Leave Bill
16 Cap Workman’s Comp.
17 Tax free ‘First Year’ for Business over 50 Employees.
18 Chino Prison Expansion
19 Loser pays the bills if State Grand Jury finds lawsuit frivolous.

How to solve the school problem:
Eighth grade mandatory testing for advancement.
9-12 school vouchers cover 50% while-Alumni Fund- covers other 50% of costs.
Result: taxpayers pay for the schools they use.
Alumni fund is a 1% tax of a students income for the first 20 years after graduation.
Result: Turn out better students = schools get more money
Mandatory testing for voucher teachers every 2 years/ 4 years for tenured teachers.
Result: Weed out the bad eggs
Huge startup cost for this system…but will pay back in droves in less than 6 years.

And a message to the feds……………I’m coming baby!!!!

One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to taxes and welfare programs. He stopped her and asked her how she was doing in school.

She answered that she had a 4.0 GPA but it was really tough. She had to study all the time, never had time to go out and party. She didn’t have time for a boyfriend and didn’t really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying.

He asked, “How is your friend Mary.” She replied that Mary was barely getting by. She had a 2.0 GPA, never studied, but was very popular on campus, went to all the parties all the time. Why she often didn’t show up for classes because she was hung over.

Dad then asked his daughter why she didn’t go to the Dean’s office and ask why she couldn’t take 1.0 off her 4.0 and give it to her friend who only had a 2.0. That way they would both have a 3.0 GPA.

The daughter angrily fired back, “That wouldn’t be fair, I worked really hard for mine and Mary has done nothing”.

The father slowly smiled and said, “Now you understand, Welcome to the Republican Party”.

“France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country. France has usually been governed by prostitutes.” – Mark Twain

“I just love the French. They taste like chicken!” – Hannibal Lecter

“I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me.” – General George S. Patton

“Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion.” -Norman Schwartzkopf

“As far as I’m concerned, war always means failure”-Jacques Chirac, President of France

“The only time France wants us to go to war is when the German Army is sitting in Paris sipping coffee.”- Regis Philbin

“You know why the French don’t want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He is French, people.”- Conan O’Brien

Below was a nice rant for a retiree from the USMC .

“DO NOT FORGET”
I sat in a movie theater watching “Schindler’s List,” asked myself, “Why the Jews didn-t fight back?”
Now I know why.

I sat in a movie theater, watching “Pearl Harbor” and asked myself, “Why weren’t we prepared?”
Now I know why.

Civilized people cannot fathom, much less predict, the actions of evil people.

On September 11, dozens of capable airplane passengers allowed themselves to be overpowered by a handful of poorly armed terrorists because they did not comprehend the depth of hatred that motivated their captors.

On September 11, thousands of innocent people were murdered because too many Americans naively reject the reality that some nations are dedicated to the dominance of others. Many political pundits, pacifists and media personnel want us to forget the carnage. They say we must focus on the bravery of the rescuers and ignore the cowardice of the killers. They implore us to understand the motivation of the perpetrators. Major television stations have announced they will assist the healing process by not replaying devastating footage of the planes crashing into the Twin Towers.

I will not be manipulated.
I will not pretend to understand.
I will not forget.

I will not forget the liberal media who abused freedom of the press to kick our country when it was
vulnerable and hurting.

I will not forget that CBS anchor Dan Rather preceded President Bush’s address to the nation with the
snide remark, “No matter how you feel about him, he is still our president.”

I will not forget that ABC TV anchor Peter Jennings questioned President Bush’s motives for not returning immediately to Washington, DC and commented, “We’re all pretty skeptical and cynical about Washington.”

And I will not forget that ABC’s Mark Halperin warned if reporters weren’t informed of every little detail
of this war, they aren’t “likely — nor should they be expected — to show deference.”

I will not isolate myself from my fellow Americans by pretending an attack on the USS Cole in Yemen was not an attack on the United States of America.

I will not forget the Clinton administration equipped Islamic terrorists and their supporters with the
world’s most sophisticated telecommunications equipment and encryption technology, thereby
compromising America’s ability to trace terrorist radio, cell phone, land lines, faxes and modem
communications.

I will not be appeased with pointless, quick retaliatory strikes like those perfected by the previous administration.

I will not be comforted by “feel-good, do nothing” regulations like the silly “Have your bags been under
your control?” question at the airport.

I will not be influenced by so called, “antiwar demonstrators” who exploit the right of freedom of
expression to chant anti-American obscenities.

I will not forget the moral victory handed the North Vietnamese by American war protesters who reviled and spat upon the returning soldiers, airmen, sailors and Marines.

I will not be softened by the wishful thinking of pacifists who chose reassurance over reality.

I will embrace the wise words of Prime Minister Tony Blair who told Labor Party conference, “They have no moral inhibition on the slaughter of the innocent. If they could have murdered not 7,000 but 70,000, does anyone doubt they would have done so and rejoiced in it?

There is no compromise possible with such people. No meeting of minds, no point of understanding with such terror. Just a choice: defeat it or be defeated by it.

And defeat it we must!”

I will force myself to:
-hear the weeping
-feel the helplessness
-imagine the terror
-sense the panic
-smell the burning flesh
- experience the loss
- remember the hatred.

I sat in a movie theater, watching “Private Ryan” and asked myself, “Where did they find the courage?”
Now I know.

We have no choice. Living without liberty is not living.

Not as lean, Not as mean, But still a Marine.

A few more mental notes for myself:
If a protester puts a bumper sticker on my car, I will not call the police, but he will be calling an ambulance.
If a serviceman gets publicly abused here at home in my view, I dont care if it’s a pregnant woman, their ass will be on the ground.

Ahh…I feel better….LATTEEEER
