Just How Long With The Majority Be SIlent?

The first recorded Africans in English America (including most of the future United States) were "20 and odd negroes" who came to Jamestown, Virginia via Cape Comfort in August 1619 as indentured servants.

And yet, even with their natural, god given ability to multiply their numbers, the African American Community in the USA is still only 12% of the overall population while whites or Caucasians represent 60% of the overall population in the USA.

Am I trying to make a point...  you bet I am...  our country is being turned upside down because a group of people five times smaller than the majority is trying to get our government to pay them special attention...  and, that is WRONG from the GETGO.

I would be the first to admit that the USA has/or:

• racist cops that should be removed from employment
• is embarrassed by slavery and wish it had never happened
• a biased judicial system towards wealth and color
• a biased employment system
• a biased educational system
• a biased pay scale relative to race and gender

BUT...  not everyone who voted for Trump in 2016 is a friggin' racist.

There are many Blacks, African Americans, or People of Color who have decided NOT TO BITCH and have made the WHITE FOCUSED SYSTEM work for them.  As far as I am concerned, blacks should emulate those successful people and/or get them to help black communities change from within and become successful.

PERSONALLY, I have never like OUR WEALTY WHITE SYSTEM of BUSINESS and COMMERCE... and consequently have made the choice not to be a part of it, unless I absolutely had to in order to survive.  I did this by remaining in the SOUTH, either in NC, TN, SC, or KY for all of my career opportunities where salaries are traditionally lower than in the NORTH.  AND...  my subsequent lifestyle changed as a result...  and, while I disliked those WHITE MANAGERS in CHARGE, I was able to financially survive until I was financially able to retire at 67 years of age.

If I can do this...  then so can a BLACK do this...

HOWEVER, with all this BITCHIN' and HOLLERIN' that is being pushed out by BLM, ANTIFA, Cancel Culture, and Critical Race Theory, the WHITE PEOPLE, sometimes called CAUCASIANS or NON HISPANIC WHITES are going to finally get a MOUTH FULL and start PUSHING BACK...

Can you imagine what will happen with half of the 60% start pushing back or even ONE THIRD or 20%?

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT NOW WILL DETERIORATE EVEN FURTHER...

AND...  talk about divided...  this is the last thing that our Federal Government wants...  especially since it will be difficult to control with DEFUNDED POLICE DEPARTMENTS.

ALL I CAN SAY IS 

 

YA BETTER WATCH OUT 

 

FOR THE 

 

SILENT   MAJORITY...

Cancel Culture Being Cancelled

 An amazing thing happened in this country during the Presidential Election of 2020... and that was the unprecedented fact that the United States of America was divided 50/50 which is also reflected in the political make-up of the US Senate.

NO PRESIDENT or POLICITICAL LEADER can say with authority and absolute certainty that their plans is what a majority of the voters want...  and, if they do, then they are bold-faced lying to you and knowing Biden, he is doing it with a shit-eatin' grin of a smile.

With this 50/50 divided thoroughly embedded in citizens from the west coast to the east coast and from out northern borders to our southern borders, which incidentally also includes Alaska and Hawaii...  NOTHING IS GOING TO GET DONE WITH 100% success.  The Senate can pass shit with a one vote margin, but the citizens of the USA...  at least half of them WILL REJECT IT...

We see business leaving the States of:  California, Washington, Oregon, and New York because the other 50% believe in liberal policies that are causing increased taxes, increased drugs, increased unemployment, and increased crime.

Not only are businesses leaving these areas and those major cities inside each of the States, but couple and families are leaving as well...  and I am not 100% confident that all of the people leaving are those who are attached to the 50% that don't want Biden as President...  so, there may be some conversions going on.

What is ever more spectacular is the fact that the 50% that oppose the LIBERAL points-of-view and finally fighting back and their pushback is getting attention from both the liberals as well as the conservatives.

The conservatives are finally saying that we have had enough of this cancel culture shit and are standing up to their bullshit.  The comedian Bill Maher who had no problems waving his anti-Trump flag on his nationally syndicated television show, is now adamantly against THE CANCEL CULTURE...

This right here is frigging amazing!

I hope we return to the decade of the 1960's when our antiwar protests CHANGED A GENERATION AND A NATION...  some say it was for the worse but who the hell really knows.

The LIBERALS AINT GETTIN THEIR WAY AND THEY AINT GETTIN OUR GUNS...

Not Wanting to be Political

I am neither Democrat nor Republican, but I am a liberal as well as a conservative and I think, overall POLITICS SUCKS and ever since JFK we have not had the RIGHT PERSON as our President.  Trump was a flaming asshole of a person and probably as a leader as well, but he put into place some good policies that economically helped this country before the pandemic hit.

Biden on the other hand, is the first cousin of being an IDIOT in the first degree...  and, not because he is intellectually stupid (although that might be true as well) but I classify him as an IDIOT because he is not his own man...  someone is pulling his strings...

I say this because Joe Biden has served the public as a Politician for over two decades and you don't survive Washington DC politics unless you know how to kiss the ass of people on both sides of the aisle and he no longer seems interested in doing that.

Perhaps, it is his age...  perhaps not...

But, one thing is for sure and that is OUR ECONOMY and QUALITY OF LIFE have deteriorated in the 4 months since Biden took the Presidential Oath of Office.

1. Inflation is on the rise - due to government spending
2. Increase in Taxes
3. Loss of trust in government
4. Unemployment is not going down
5. Government spending is going up
6. Cost of living is going up - due to increase in prices
7. Immigration is out of control
8. Racism in USA is getting worse
9. Division in the USA is getting worse
10. We are again experiencing gasoline shortages
11. The wealthy are getting wealthier
12. High Tech is controlling our lives

Light Printer

Using lasers to create the displays of science fiction, inspired by Star Wars and Star Trek.
They may be tiny weapons, but BYU’s holography research group has figured out how to create lightsabers — green for Yoda and red for Darth Vader, naturally — with actual luminous beams rising from them.

Inspired by the displays of science fiction, the researchers have also engineered battles between equally small versions of the Starship Enterprise and a Klingon Battle Cruiser that incorporate photon torpedoes launching and striking the enemy vessel that you can see with the naked eye.

“What you’re seeing in the scenes we create is real; there is nothing computer generated about them,” said lead researcher Dan Smalley, a professor of electrical engineering at BYU. “This is not like the movies, where the lightsabers or the photon torpedoes never really existed in physical space. These are real, and if you look at them from any angle, you will see them existing in that space.”  TO READ MORE, CLICK HERE...

The Night Before the Night Before

It is possible although highly illogical to look at what might happen in the future, even though we have specialists who earn their livelihoods forecasting what might happen in business, in the economy, and on Wall Street with the Stock Market.  Doctors forecast the future of medicine and Oncologist forecast the day, not too far in the distant future where having cancer will be no worse for many than catching a cold or the flu.

But, what about other scenarios...  like:

• Will I be wealthy
• When will I die
• Who will I marry
• Will people like me

AND...  because of all these concerns that we have, most people have turned into what some people may refer to as "worry warts."  AND...  if you are still not convinced that this might be a problem, most of these so called "worry warts," exhibit high levels of stress and anxiety that manifest itself in ulcers, cancer, and heart attacks.

While some may believe that they can control the future with proper planning and follow the adage that LUCK FAVORS THE PREPARED, that is not really the case because our lives have already been predetermined by whoever it was that gave us life in the first place.

Don't believe this?

Well, who planned your specific birth?

Your parents came together for a specific reason that was really unknown to them until they met for the first time...

Your success or lack thereof has been predetermined.

Your death has been predetermined.

Your life has been predetermined.

THEREFORE...  worrying or wandering what my happen or not  happen is bullshit and a waste of time.

50% Divorce Rate In USA

For the last 10 years or more, the divorce rate in the United States has maintained a constant level of 50% and this includes the Southern Bible Belt, which some of us might find curiously interesting.

So...  what's causing all this divorce?

Well...  I could say it's the females in the workplace and then I would be equally justified in saying it's the males in the workplace.  And...  the sad truth of it all is that when males and females start working together there is a high degree of probability that they will start screwing each other figuratively, literally, and sexually.

It is human nature.

The two wealthiest males in the USA have either gotten a divorce or their divorce is pending and it is because these males screwed around with other females with whom they came into contact while at work.

BEZOS lost half his fortune in the divorce but has since gotten it all back...  nothing more than a down turn on Wall Street to him...  and now, Gates is on the chopping block because he could not keep his manhood in his pants.

OF course, in both cases, the female had to have agreed with everything or nothing would have happened...  although, I am sure sexual assault could have taken place...  but, when one is screwing a billionaire one does not concern one's self with sexual assault...  perhaps, a little blackmail might have been in order.

Why get married, if 50% of them end in divorce?

First, marriage allows sexual intercourse

Second, the female might be pregnant

Third, marriage provides financial security

Fourth, two people might believe they are in love

Fifth, it has been arranged by the parents

Sixth, it gets those involved out from under their parents control

Seventh, one's biological clock is ticking

Eighth, marriage looks better than single in the business world

Ninth, there are tax breaks for married couples

Tenth, insurance costs are less when married

A Dispute of Evolution

Fossil apes can inform us about essential aspects of ape and human evolution, including the nature of our last common ancestor.

In the 150 years since Charles Darwin speculated that humans originated in Africa, the number of species in the human family tree has exploded, but so has the level of dispute concerning early human evolution. Fossil apes are often at the center of the debate, with some scientists dismissing their importance to the origins of the human lineage (the “hominins”), and others conferring them starring evolutionary roles. A new review out on May 7 in the journal Science looks at the major discoveries in hominin origins since Darwin’s works and argues that fossil apes can inform us about essential aspects of ape and human evolution, including the nature of our last common ancestor.

Humans diverged from apes — specifically, the chimpanzee lineage — at some point between about 9.3 million and 6.5 million years ago, towards the end of the Miocene epoch. To understand hominin origins, paleoanthropologists aim to reconstruct the physical characteristics, behavior, and environment of the last common ancestor of humans and chimps.

“When you look at the narrative for hominin origins, it’s just a big mess — there’s no consensus whatsoever,” said Sergio Almécija, a senior research scientist in the American Museum of Natural History’s Division of Anthropology and the lead author of the review. “People are working under completely different paradigms, and that’s something that I don’t see happening in other fields of science.”

There are two major approaches to resolving the human origins problem: “Top-down,” which relies on analysis of living apes, especially chimpanzees; and “bottom-up,” which puts importance on the larger tree of mostly extinct apes. For example, some scientists assume that hominins originated from a chimp-like knuckle-walking ancestor. Others argue that the human lineage originated from an ancestor more closely resembling, in some features, some of the strange Miocene apes.  TO READ MORE, CLICK HERE...

Biden Says...

 Our new President this morning announced that our border is closed...  and, that his announcement means that no more illegal immigrants will be allowed into the US of A...  However, our new President did not informed Border Patrol or Homeland Security to officially close the border nor did he inform whatever agency is responsible for letting people cross over the border into our country...

So, what exactly do these WORDS MEAN?

Do they mean that the border is closed but really open?

Do they mean that the border is open but really closed yet open if you really want to come here?

How strange these words are that this new President speaks and he smiles so nicely and talks so softly, elevating his voice just a tad when it comes to words he really, really wants to emphasize...  it is difficult not to believe this UNCLE JOE.

It reminds me of what Dr. Fouci said when questioned by Congress...  He said that the money that he gave the WUHAN LAB in China was not giving money to fund the study of the COVID virus...

This is like saying that we gave money to PLANNED PARENTHOOD but was not supposed to go to fund abortions...

What the hell else does PLANNED PARENTHOOD do other than fund abortions?

One of the days and I may be asking for too much here, the MAINSTREAM MEDIA is going to wake up and realize that the Democrats have been giving them the big chili up the brown eye...

And, I just hope that it is not too late.

Male Siamese Cat

My wife and I own a male Siamese cat that has been neutered and unfortunately he still sprays around the house...

My wife wants to kill him since he is ruining everything she says and the guys at Lowes when I went to get a plexiglass screen to put up and just let him spray, said they were shoot it...  obviously, they don't like cats.

Petcare Online says, that if your male cat is neutered, then there could be other issues that are causing him to spray.  These could be:

• outside feral cats
• going on vacation
• change of location (moving)
• fighting with other inside cats
• a dirty litter box
• Inside changes

From our standpoint, we:

• change the litter box daily
• there are no feral cats outside
• we have gone on vacation
• he does fight with one other inside cat
• we have not moved
• nothing has changed inside

So, that leaves us with going on vacation and fighting with another inside cat and more than likely it is this other cat that is causing him stress.  However, this other cat is very special to my wife as he was a rescue cat.

My idea is to just spray with the stuff that is suppose to encourage them not to spray.  Put up covering in case he does continue to spray.  And, try to keep them from fighting for our attention.

It is a circumstance that I don't envy anyone getting themselves into because is one's wife is not happy then one's life is miserable...  and, after a while of being miserable, one gets to the point on simply not giving a shit.  Once you find yourself in that situation, then one's marriage might as well end because it ain't gettin' no better...

Ain't Nothing Free

When I attended Graduate School to pursue an MBA, my Economics Professor, Dr. Peter Peacock lectured to the class that there was no such thing as a FREE LUNCH...  from the standpoint that someone had to pay for the lunches that others got free...  I am sure that there were many lessons learned from his class but this lesson is the one that stayed with me all my life.

So...  when our Federal Government says that its citizens will now be receiving free education or free healthcare or free meals...   someone else in the country will be paying for that who may or may not want to give people free education or free healthcare or free meals because they had to earn the money and pay for all of that themselves...  so why can't these other people do the same?

Our Federal Government using the TAX Codes and Laws steals money away from others for these purposes...   I say steal because our Democratic Republic from of governments has been authorized by the US Constitution to protect us, negotiate trade deals and treaties with other governments, and enforce the laws but really nothing else.

It is not the government's responsibility to provide:

• public education
• public housing
• public mail service
• public healthcare
• public transportation
• public parks and recreations
• Social Security
• Unemployment Insurance

And yet...  this is exactly what our country does...  and, they do this by collecting taxes...  and, anytime the Federal Government want to offer more to its citizens, in order to do that they need to raise taxes or reduce spending in other areas which is not an option.

The question is, what do WEALTHY people think about giving more money because the rest of us are basically lazy and do not want to work as hard as they do.

If you have a wealthy relative how often do they volunteer to share their money with you?  Typically, if you want any of their money you have to ask for it...  and, when you do ask for it, they typically then RESENT the fact that you have asked.

BUT, our Federal Government can TAKE THEIR MONEY whether they like it or resent it or not...  however, most of the wealthy people have their money in tax shelters and AVOID paying more taxes...  and, one would think that our GOVERNMENT would finally realize that they are GETTING PLAYED by the wealthy.

Mystifying Monuments

A mysterious group of ancient monuments first discovered in Saudi Arabia in the 1970s, known as mustatials, predate the first Egyptian pyramids and Stonehenge by over 2,000 years, making them the world’s oldest ritual landscape, archaeologists now say.

Scattered across 77,000 square miles of desert in northwest Arabia, the mustatils (the name comes from the Arabic word for “rectangle”) were built between 8,500 and 4,800 years ago, during the period known as the Middle Holocene, according to a report published last week in the journal Antiquity.

Through satellite imagery, helicopter and ground surveys, and excavations, the study identified more than 1,000 mustatils, typically built in clusters. That’s more than double the number previously thought to exist.  

The project, led by a team from the University of Western Australia, is being funded by the Royal Commission for AlUla, which is hoping to drive tourism to the nearby site of AlUla.

Experts had previously raised numerous theories as to the structures’ purpose, including as animal enclosures, burial sites, or territory markers. But the new study shows that the mustatils‘s walls would have been too low to prevent animals from escaping.  TO READ MORE, CLICK HERE...

Time's Mistress

 Age had time

as its mistress,

lingering not

in the past

or the present,

but with speed

towards the end.

10 May 2021

It appears to the layman that life is bound up in layers of confusion that seldom gets sorted out until the end of life approaches and/or the mind becomes so incapacitated that we simply have no idea what it going on...  Both of these possibilities happen but there are a lot of other possibilities as well most of which deal with coming to grips with the reality of life in that life does not happen as a result of the choices that we make but happens because it has been willed to happen that way long before we were given our first breath of life.

Are we then looking at a religious awareness or understanding in our later years?

No...  not at all...  and while religion is not at the heart of life like many religious followers perceive it to be, there is a CREATOR and there is no doubt in my mind that this is a fact; however, all our other religious beliefs and concepts were given to us by extraterrestrials who visited earth in the early years of our existence...   and, who altered our DNA to the point that human beings became the creatures that they are today rather than moving in another direction that might have kept us in the same realm as apes or monkeys who share similar DNA structures.

Our lives...  we thought and/or perceived, were created so that we could worship the Gad who had given us life.  and, while there is some truth to that belief, our lives were really created for us to learn to survive and not just survive with other human beings but with land animal, water animal, air animals as well as the environment.

Our arrogance has taken us into a different direction and that direction will take us into space and once in space, we will eventually meet the extraterrestrials who were responsible for giving us life...  and perhaps our CREATOR as well.

To this end, our lives have been pre-determined that is to say that if one exists on the edge of the universe and has the ability to look back or down or across at earth, they will see that spacetime on earth moves faster than the spacetime where they are located moves.  Knowing that relationship and dynamic, those who dwell at the edge of the universe can see our future happening before we experience it

Since they know what our future is going to be like, then they can make adjustments should they desire in certain events in an effort to alter or change that future and then can witness the new realities unfold just like the old realities unfolded.

After many years traveling through space and coming into contact with different knowledge, we too will one day have their same level of awareness and can evoke our wills onto other civilizations just as they have done to us...  and, no doubt that is our future.

Light from the sun takes 8 minutes to get to earth...  so past light illuminates our present, allowing the past and the present to happen at the same time which logically should not happen at all.  And, the only way that it it happening is when we compare the light from the sun relative to its arrival on earth...  knowing that it is traveling at the speed of light.

Similarly, our future relative to whoever is living at the edge of the universe is their present which logically should not happen either, but it does which is why they can see our future before it happens to us relative to our present.

Only a CREATOR can create a universe where these kinds of things are happening on a regular basis...  we are not the byproduct of evolution although human being have experience evolutionary changes in their bodies...  And, these changes happened faster than they should have happened which leads us to believe that someone altered our DNA.

SO...  does death as we understand it...  really happen?

PRIVACY

 How much do you want to share?

Right now...  we have to have a drivers license when we drive and a passport when we travel overseas...  however, a passport cannot be used as a substitute for a drivers license.  Should we now have some kind of proof that we have had all our SHOTS?

AND...  how far will this go...  in the sense of our Federal Government knowing our private and personal data.?

Personally, I don't give a shit what the government knows or does not know my private and/or personal data...  at my age, it just does not matter...  I've got nothing to save and nothing to prove....  so, who cares what they know or do not know about me...  I certainly don't care...

BUT...

there are a lot of people who do care about what the government knows or does not know...  even when they too have nothing to hide...  it is just the fact that this knowledge is and should be private.  And, it should be up to each individual what information they want to share or not want to share...

In other words, it is OUR RIGHT to share if we want to NOT THE GOVERNMENT'S right...  and, therein lies the problem...

In this sense, I do not want our Government to know anything more about me than they absolutely need to know...  IT IS NONE OF THEIR DAMN BUSINESS.

Mosquitos in the Keys

The Florida Keys will soon be buzzing with close to a billion 'fraken-squitoes' – gene-hacked mosquitoes aimed at eradicating a disease carrying mosquito.

The Florida Keys Mosquito Control District (FKMCD) and Oxitec, a British biotech company, are starting the first-ever U.S. release of genetically engineered (GE) Aedes aegypti mosquitoes this week, which will see up to a billion over a two-year period.

The project aims to reduce the numbers of Aedes aegypti, one of several mosquito species that can carry diseases including dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever.

Floridians, however, are calling on the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to end 'this live experiment' saying they are being subjected to terrorism by the FKMCD.

The trial is set to begin this week, with the first phase releasing up to 144,000 GE mosquitoes over the next 12 weeks. Ultimately, up to a billion will be released in Monroe County.  TO READ MORE, CLICK HERE...

60% Versus 12%

 According to the most recent census data, the percentage of whites in the US population is 60% whereas the percentage of blacks in the US population is 12%...  In other words, there are FIVE times more whites in America than there are blacks.

What does that mean?

ONE out of every FIVE Americans are black...  and yet, minority group wants to control everything that is going on in this county from law enforcement to politics to Hollywood to Professional Athletics to Musicians and Artists to those CEO's who are managing our companies.

Blacks want to receive preferential treatment because they were brought to this country in 1619 against their will...  that is over 400 years ago...  and 157 years before we gained our independence from Great Britain; however, just because the whites gained their independence does not mean that the blacks actually gained their independence as well...  NO...  it took another 87 years for the blacks to actually receive their independence.

WHY...  did it take so long?

OUR FOUNDING FATHERS (All of them) WERE RACISTS...  there is no doubts about that fact...  now, here is the interesting question:

DID PRESIDENT LINCOLN FREE THE SLAVES TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF HIS ARMY AGAINST THE SOUTH OR DID HE FREE THE SLAVES BECAUSE HE WAS AGAINST SLAVERY?

Lincoln's wife owned slaves...

We, that is to say Americans, treated the Native Americans almost as bad as we treated the blacks...  and, to compensate them for our bad treatment, we allowed them to operate GAMBLING CASINOS on their territory only...  but, they get all the revenues.

That was really white of us to do that.

Interestingly, the US Constitution that governs our country was actually written for the WHITES not the BLACKS even though they were included by an amendment...  but, in the minds of most blacks that did not correct the injustice; however, what will correct the injustice will be that REALITY where ALL WHITENESS is removed from the way Americans live...   that is to say that the 60% should bend over backwards to pacify the 12% as a form of compensation.

What does that mean exactly?

That means BLACKS no longer want WHITES to be White...  because if WHITES continue to be White, then that is racism and racism negatively impacts 12% of all Americans.

It means that laws should be rewritten to favor blacks over whites in the courts of law.

It means that Blacks should get preferential treatment at college and university over the WHITES.

It means that Blacks should be hired before Whites are hired even if they are less qualified because it was the Whites that manipulated the system that forced them to be less qualified in the first place.

However, I don't think Blacks want to be first in line in the MILITARY since being first there might result in a loss of life...  but that is just a personal opinion and not based upon any solid evidence or facts.

I am also not sure how this relates to selling illegal drugs either because most of the dope dealers are black and most of the dope users are white...  and, I doubt very seriously if they really want to change places.

Because blacks were slaves they should be given every thing they want or they will revolt in the streets, burn, and loot to show their disappointment.  And...  since the law enforcement is systemically racist, then we should do away with the police force...  or at least have NO WHITE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS so if blacks are killed by police, they will have been killed by black police.

IT IS TIME THAT WHITES LISTEN AND STOP BEING WHITE ONCE AND FOR ALL...  white should not even be a color or for that matter a word in the dictionary.

Black Homes Are Undervalued - Racism at Work

 From Rice Kinder
Institute for Urban Research...

New research shows that 50 years after laws were put in place to stop the use of race in real estate appraisals, homes in neighborhoods of color are still being undervalued.

New research into how a neighborhood’s home values are impacted by its racial composition reveals that appraisals were affected to a larger extent by race in 2015 than in 1980 — to the financial detriment of homeowners in majority-Black and majority-Hispanic neighborhoods.

Using Census Bureau data from 1980–2015, the study from Junia Howell and Elizabeth Korver-Glenn shows that during that period, homes in white neighborhoods appreciated in value, on average, almost $200,000 more than comparable homes in neighborhoods of color.

Primarily, the reason for the large disparity lies in “contemporary appraisal practices,” according to Howell and Korver-Glenn; in particular, “the use of the sales comparison approach has allowed historical racialized appraisals to influence contemporary values and appraisers’ racialized assumptions about neighborhoods to drive appraisal methods.”

Howell, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Pittsburgh, and Korver-Glenn, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of New Mexico — both of whom are former Kinder Scholars — summarized their study for the Conversation:  TO READ MORE, CLICK HERE...

PERSONAL OPINION:  I like the idea that people are now recognizing that homes in black neighborhoods are still being undervalued...  and I hope someone of importance realizes what is going on and SEEKS TO CHANGE IT...  Why do I want this changed?

1.  Black should pay higher property taxes just like whites have to pay

2.  Whites have been discriminated against for years by paying higher property taxes

3.  Black neighborhoods are no different than white neighborhoods

4.  Thank you Critical Race Theory

I have been complaining for years about having to pay higher and higher property taxes and the fact that my higher taxes are a result of me being white...  If I was black my home would be undervalued and my property taxes would be less.  Yes, it is true that if and when I decided to sell my home, I would not get a higher price for it, but I do not plan to ever sell my home so that point is irrelevant.

Finally, I feel blessed and extremely fortunate that the BLM movement has finally brought this to our attention and I hope that someone somewhere finally does something about it.  My black neighbors have been skating through lower taxes for years and it is time that they finally get assessed properly...

We Are Blessed Americans

 Americans should feel BLESSED that Joe Biden beat out Donald
Trump to become the current President of the US...

• We have a crisis with immigration
• We have a crisis with inflation
• We have a crisis with gasoline
• We have a crisis with cyber crime/hacking
• We have a crisis with Hamas
• We have a crisis with Russia
• We have a crisis with China's military escalation
• We have a crisis with systemic racism
• We have a crisis with defunding the police
• We have a crisis with illegal drug use
• We have a crisis with disabled veterans
• We have a crisis with healthcare
• We have a crisis with education
• We have a crisis with a DIVIDED America

Let me say it again, AMERICANS SHOULD FEEL BLESSED THAT JOE BIDEN IS OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT...

The real question here is:  DOES BIDEN HAVE THE MOUNTAIN OYSTERS TO TAKE ON RUSSIA, CHINA, THE MIDDLE EAST, AND OUR OWN TECH GIANTS...  ALONG WITH THE INCREASING WEALTH DISPARITY BETWEEN WEALTHY AMERICANS AND EVERYONE ELSE???

My fear is that he does not have those mountain oysters...  nor does he have the rhetoric to unite the two parties which will continue to divide this country politically.

Inflation B Good

Because of all the spending by our Federal Government, the US inflation rate has increased to 3% and is expected to increase and possibly stabilize at 4% which is incredibly good news for ALL AMERICANS because it means that Americans will be paying more for goods and services, leaving them less and less money to save or spend on other necessities...  should the occasion arise.

• More for gasoline
• More for food
• More for clothes
• More for medicine
• More for electricity

With this kind of inflation, unemployment insurance payouts will not last as long as it did before with this kind of inflation and it is this kind of inflation that financially hurts older senior citizens who are living only on Social Security without any other sources of income.

The new Presidential Administration should be complemented because they are the ones that caused this...  We should feel fortunate that we have such brilliant people at the helm of our country and who are making these clever decisions on behalf of the American people.
