MY WRITING JOURNAL

Saturday, August 1

Friday, July 31

This is the first time that I have been able to sit out on my back screened-in porch for several weeks as the temps and humidity and sunshine have prevented me from doing so; but today, it is relatively mild in terms of temps, there is a slight breeze, clouds in the sky from previous or anticipated rain, and the sun, like friends, seldom appears. Actually, that is not fair because I have made a point over my lifetime to limit my friends and it appears that those few are now gone.... My fault... My bad... (hate that expression).

So, what about JULY 2020 that makes it so memorable?

Nothing other than the fact that I spent 6 days in HOSPITAL LOCKUP because of what doctors are now suspecting was a frigging bug bite that was scratched by me and got infected and because of my low immunity traveled throughout my body and raised a little HELL inside.

When my wife finally took me to the ER because of a day long 103 degree temperature, I was wobbly on my feet and needed a wheel chair, but got into the ER just in time because my blood pressure was 79/59, I was experience afib, heart/kidney failure, and was in sepsis and later was told that had we delayed our arrival by too much longer, I may have DIED... however, my body responded well and after those 6 days, I was released... but, with the understanding that my wife administer IV antibiotics (via a PICC line) 3 times a day until August 11, 2020.

The constant infusion of antibiotics cause me to experience fatigue, nausea, general apathy, loss of appetite, constantly feeling BLAH all day long unless I am sleeping which I do a lot nowadays.

However, I have managed to daily maintain my 4 blogs and watch FOX NEWS that leaves me with an elderly concern that we have some serious issues going on in our country and because of these serious issues, it is my belief, that our country has become NO BETTER than any other country in the world when it comes to its leaders and to its citizens.

AMERICANS were once a proud, highly respected, and admired people by everyone in the world because of our abilities, actions, behavior, and how above all else, we were UNITED. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case.

AMERICA IS SERIOUSLY DIVIDED along the lines of:

Politics
Race
Gender
Law Enforcement
Judicial
Wealth

We no longer treat each other with respect therefore we get no respect in return. We can no longer believe in and/or trust our elected officials, nor the police or other law enforcement agencies. Mainstream Media has decided to take the side of the LIBERALS therefore we can no longer expect FAIR & BALANCED reporting but only that which supports the Liberal Agenda.... and, when the MEDIA starts censoring the NEWS then DEMOCRACY begins to fail.

WITHOUT A TWO PARTY SYSTEM, only one side will control and the the TRUTH will be that which that one side says it is....

This, in my opinion, is a dangerous place to be.

Another issue that is of concern to me is the fact that ALL MEDIA OUTLETS are editorializing the news rather than just reporting it.

MY RESPECT for members of Congress has substantially been diminished because of the biased attacks of Liberal Democrats and the angry Republicans who are now starting to fight back.

WHERE IS THIS LEADING US?

What will CONGRESS accomplish FOR US when they act like that? NOTHING!!!

FREE Education for ALL

What a great idea!!!

However, not everyone has the mental ability to be in college where either they are just not that smart or they are smart but did not take the foundation knowledge in high school seriously.

But,

that will not stop colleges and universities from watering down their Syllabi making it really easy for everyone to PASS.

STILL...

that is still not going to be the biggest obstacle...

If the number of students in college doubled and all of them graduated... well, where are all the COLLEGE GRADUATE JOBS?

They are simply NOT THERE.

Business and Industry has a management to worker ratio that only allows for so many college graduates... plus, if all these new college graduates are only going after MANAGEMENT jobs, then who is going to do the WORKERS jobs?

Even For The Stupid...

Typically, there is a 1:20 ratio of management to labor and sometimes that ratio is higher and sometimes, like in CALL CENTERS that ratio might be lower.

SO... if a company has 1000 employees, it on needs 50 managers/supervisors... but, instead of the typical 150 management applications, this company because of FREE EDUCATION now receives 300 applications for 50 positions...

Then, who will get seriously considered?

Not just those who made all "As" and "Bs" but those who can demonstrate that they retained the knowledge not just made the high grade.

Most of the smaller Colleges and Universities who are going to be the recipients of all these new college students (and not Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT) do not have their curriculum designed to retained knowledge but to simply pass the course or make the high grade.

FREE EDUCATION is going to result in a lot of college graduates working in hourly jobs that are not necessarily commensurate with their level of new education.

If you think you are that smart, then logically think this through YOURSELF.

America's Ultimate Power

First of all, which America are we talking about?

We have several Americas, like:

North America
Central America
South America
United States of America

Each one of these places can refer to themselves as Americans....

In this particular case, we are talking about the United States of America.

So, what is America's Ultimate Power?

It's her PEOPLE.

Population of USA (America) is 328,000,000 + and increasing

Growth Rate 72%

11.6 births/1000

8.9 deaths/1000

Birth Rate by Ethnic Group (2020)

Hawaiians
Hispanics
Blacks
Native Americans/Native Alaskans
Whites
Asians

Americans elect politicians to office: President, Members of Congress, Governors, Mayors, State Senators and Congress people

Americans can elect Democrats

Americans can elect Republicans

Americans can elect Independents

Americans can elect Socialists

Americans can elect Communists

Americans can vote themselves out of a DEMOCRACY if they want...

Americans have the POWER, but cannot seem to UNITE for one approach...

UNITED WE STAND

DIVIDED WE FALL

American Racism Will Never End

HATRED EXISTS ON BOTH SIDES...

HOWEVER, I believe that American Blacks hate American Whites MORE because of the history of Slavery in the US of A. And, not just the concept of slavery, but the fact the ENTIRE US of A was based on the DREAM of our FOUNDING FATHERS who owned SLAVES.

Our War of Independence from Great Britain was waged by Slave Owners
The US Constitution was written by Slave Owners
The Bill of Rights was written by Slave Owners

HOW CAN THE BLACKS NOT HATE THE WHITES?

If our Federal Government made it possible for every BLACK FAMILY to be given $150,000/year for the rest of their lives, that MONEY WOULD NOT ERASE SLAVERY...

IN FACT, nothing will erase Slavery in the minds of the American Blacks or so it seems to an American White.

When my wife and I age 67 & 72 respectively, pass a group of American Blacks in Knoxville, New York City, Myrtle Beach, Destin, or Las Vegas, we are apprehensive and afraid that we might be assaulted by the American Black Men...

WHY do we feel this way?

BECAUSE,

American Blacks BLAME all American Whites for SLAVERY...
American Blacks Rap Lyrics speak of killing whitey...
American Blacks in cities dress and walk like hoodlums...
American Blacks are committing violent acts in cities...
American Blacks STARE at American Whites with contempt...

My wife and I are not the only ones that feel this way.

I personally saw the hatred between Blacks and Whites:

whhen I was in the US Navy from 1969-1972
during the race riots early 60's in Alexandria, VA
while I was in college in NC (1966-1968)
as White supervisors treated Black workers differently
as Professors treated Black students differently if they were athletes

In the 1960's we had the BLACK PANTHERS who advocated the use of violence against WHITES in order to accomplish their goals.

It was only when MLK Jr quieted down the Black communities that WHITES began to feel relatively safe around AMERICAN BLACKS...

A RACE WAR IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE IN AMERICA BETWEEN BLACKS AND WHITES BECAUSE THE ENTIRE CONCEPT OF A FREE COUNTRY WAS BUILT AROUND OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WHO WERE SLAVE OWNERS AND DID NOT CONSIDER THE BLACK MAN TO BE A FULL PERSON, BUT PROPERTY.

The only way to make AMERICAN BLACKS feel better, knowing that they only represent a little over 13% of the population of the US of A is to rewrite our US CONSTITUTION and Bill of Rights and give these 13% more control over how our FEDERAL GOVERNMENT operates including its trades deals and wars on foreign soil and taxes and government handouts.

BUT, EVEN THAT WILL NOT ERASE SLAVERY OR THE HATRED THAT EXISTS BETWEEN BLACKS AND WHITES.

COMING SOON: Civil War in America

Progressive Democrats versus Conservatives

American Blacks versus American Whites

Anti-America versus America Lovers

Anarchists versus Law & Order

Liberals versus Conservatives

Non Veterans versus Veterans

Rioters versus Police

Poor versus Wealthy

WE, the People... is no longer here in America...

WE are no longer united but DIVIDED more than ever...

How can I, as a Vietnam Veteran, have faith and support any group in America that wants to BURN the AMERICAN FLAG...

Those kinds of people PISS ME OFF...

If they don't like America or the American Flag, then LEAVE and see how long other countries will put up with your shit...

Right now, we have anarchists causing turmoil in Democratically controlled cities because they do not want to stop these cute kids from voicing their opinions... and, those of us who are patiently waiting for law and order to be restored will one day decide that our local government is not doing its job so a new group of patriots will take matters into their own hands and spank these bad boys and girls.

THIS IS THE CIVIL WAR THAT IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER...

The DEMS Screwed Up

The year 2020 will go down in the record books as the year China unleashed the CORONA VIRUS on the rest of the world that destroyed the greatest economy in the history of the the United States... and while that does seem to be the main historical landmark, it will all be remembered as the year the DEMOCRATS pissed away their future.

Represents 13% of the US Population...

First of all, the Democrats were coming off a failed impeachment attempt that was, for all intents and purposes DOA when it reached the floor of the SENATE with the Democratic House Leadership wanting the SENATE to do the investigation that they failed to do properly because of their haste in wanted to remove President Trump from office.

Second, the Democrats were strongly in favor of paying out stimulus checks because once something is on the books, it is very difficult to remove it... and while their were in favor of the SHUTDOWN of the US ECONOMY because it would theoretically hurt Trump, they were UNIFIED in their REFUSAL to open up the economy so that Americans and Small Businesses could begin to rebuild... and, while this was designed to hurt Trump, the American People saw FIRST HAND how the Democrats were not wanting them to rebuild their finances.

Will this mean Slavery never happened?

Third, and this one is a sweetheart of an ass-kicker idea, to encourage the BLM Movement and the build-up of violence in Democratically controlled cities throughout the US that eventually led to a second movement of DEFUND THE POLICE and redirect that money into youth programs and black/slavery awareness programs for whites in high schools.

While we have no idea of the political beliefs of the WHITE COPS that shot those AMERICAN BLACKS what we do know is that where the violence and the AUTONOMOUS ZONES were created and flourished where in cities that were controlled by Democratic Mayors.

Did this Democratic Black President stop Racism

We also know that police officers are taking early retirement, that small businesses are moving out of those autonomous zone cities, as are many of the residents that once lived in those areas. AND IF, the mainstream media are not really covering these topics, the people who are leaving will probably be voting against the Democrats for allowing it to happen in November.

People vote not according to their politics but according to their POCKETBOOKS and how well off they perceive they will be under this President or Biden.
