- An ability to have maids, drivers, and grounds keepers.
- The ability to feel superior over others.
- An everlasting legacy when you die.
I suppose that being able to sit down on a solid gold toilet seat when one has to take a shit might have its advantages as well... but, for me that seat would have to be heated in the winter... lol
Think about it... what is the real difference?
- Wealthy people have to eat
- Wealthy people have to sleep

- Wealthy people have bodies that deteriorate
- Wealthy people always have more than they need and more than they can enjoy at one time
- Wealthy people very seldom share their wealth as a percentage of that wealth
- Wealthy people are greedy because they always want more
- Wealthy people by default are arrogant
- Wealthy people claim to know what other people are thinking
- Wealthy people only want to be around their own kind
IS THIS THE KIND OF PERSON YOU REALLY WANT TO BE OR BECOME?

What have Americans done to compensate?
I can only speak about East TN...
- We protect our families from illegal immigration by relying on the second amendment.
- We fix our gasoline cars instead of buying new ones or electric vehicles.
- We invest in RVs instead of going to resorts.
- We have backyard vegetable gardens and can the output.
- We purchase floor freezers and buy 1/4 cow at a cheaper price.
- We save our money buying only what we must have.
- We spend time at local lakes and parks for our recreation.
- We have cookouts with neighbors instead of going to restaurants.
- We don't pay attention to the bullshit that is happening on our college campuses.
- We protect each other from crime.
- We don't pay attention to the 91 felony charges against Trump and his court appearances.
- We don't pay attention to BLM, CRT, or WOKE.
- We don't pay attention to Biden's speeches.
- We watch FOX News only.
- We wait for the Democrats to FAIL
Calls For a Humanitarian Pause
Ending a two-day meeting in Tokyo as Israeli forces continued to pound the Gaza Strip, the Group of Seven wealthy nations said in a joint statement that Israel had the right to defend itself. But they also underscored the need to protect civilians and to comply with international humanitarian law.
G7 members are committed to preparing long-term solutions for Gaza and a return to a broader peace process in the Israel-Palestinian conflict “in line with the internationally agreed parameters,” the statement said. READ MORE...
Opinion of War
There are protests around the world BEGGING (for lack of a better word) for Israel to STOP. Nothing has been said about the horrors of the HAMAS invasion... these one-sided views are coming from people who don't care about the truth or have already decided to be against the JEWS.
Over the years, the one thing that I can count on is that Israel DOES NOT BACK OFF BECAUSE WORLD OPINION IS AGAINST THEM... they are determined and steadfast. In their opinion, Hamas violated the CEASE FIRE AGREEMENT, and it is now their time to respond.
Israel is like Russia... once they set their minds to something screw the rest of the world and their opinions...
Russia does not care what the world thinks of their invasion of Ukraine.
China will not care what the rest of the world thinks if and when they decide to invade Taiwan.
So, why is the world so critical of ISRAEL?
The nature of war is DEATH and KILLING... otherwise, why fight a war if you are not going to KILL?
There will ALWAYS be civilian casualties in WAR, that must be understood from the getgo.
Wars will always improve the economies of the world because of ammunition and supplies that must be replenished... not the mention, the companies that are hired and paid to clean up the damage and rebuild.
Wars create JOBS!!!
DEATH is inevitable for all of us. Sometimes death happens early in life, sometimes late in life, but DEATH always happens.
These conflicts have the POTENTIAL of escalating into a WORLD WAR...
Who do you think will be protesting then?
Who will they blame for the world war?
It's time to shit or get off the pot...
War Continues in Ukraine
The latest developments from the Ukraine war.
Zelenskyy rules out wartime elections
“Now is not the time for elections,” Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday, trying to put to rest a growing debate amid Russia's grinding invasion.
"Now is the time for defence, for battle, on which the fate of the state and people depends, and not for farce, which only Russia expects from Ukraine," Zelenskyy said in a speech. "I think this is not the time for elections.
“We must come together, not divide ourselves, not disperse ourselves in quarrels or other priorities,” he added. READ MORE...

Life in America
Over the years, my parents gradually moved up into the upper middle class and when I left home, got married, and remarried and relocated a couple of times I remained in the lower middle class... not because I was forced to stay there but because that is where I felt the most comfortable.
With an MBA from Wake Forest University, I could have moved up north and doubled or tripled my salary, but I chose to remain in the south. I don't know if that was a good decision or a bad decision, but it was my decision.
Today, like in the 1950s and 1960s, I want for nothing. I have managed to save enough money to pay our bills until we are both 95 years of age, knowing that neither of us will live that long.
During the 76 years that I have been alive, life in America has changed.
It is difficult to say if it is more racist or less racist but racism is still very much a part of American life. Racism does not just exist on the white side of the fence but on the black side of the fence as well.
While salaries and wages have increased from the $1.75/ hour I remember receiving, the purchasing power of the US dollar is less in 2023 than it was in 1966 for instance. While that is a good sign for those of use who are wealthy, it is not a good sign for those of us who are not wealthy.
This is where I fault the CONGRESS because neither Republican nor Democrat has done anything to change that... and the whole point of their being elected was to help the American people.
Wars has always been a part of life as an American whether we, as a country, are personally involved or not. The Korea War, the Vietnam War, Wars in Africa, Wars in the Middle East, Wars in South America, Wars in Mexico, and now a war in Ukraine and Israel.
It is doubtful that our world will ever be without wars. Wars both help and hurt the American economy whether we want to admit that fact or not. The entire world is attached economically so what happens in China affect life in the USA and vice versa.
In the 1960s, American education K-12 was the best in the world. Now, we are ranked 17th in the world. How did this happen? But, more importantly, those graduating from high school, less educated than previous years are still going to college. GO FIGURE?
Our American BRAND OF DEMOCRACY and our FREEDOMS, especially our freedom of speech has inextricably DIVIDED our country. We are no longer united. We are no longer a nation of families. We are no longer a nation of prosperity. We are no longer a nation admired by the world.4
Illegal Immigrants, the push towards green energy, and humanoid robots with artificial intelligence will change our nation in such a way that for people like me, we will see our country as unrecognizable. What will it be like to have robots replace 80% of the jobs in America? What will it be like to live without income? What will it be like to be laughed at by the rest of the world? What will it be like for Americans to be forced to speak Spanish in order to conduct any kind of business or be forced to speak Spanish in American high schools?
OF COURSE, THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE READING THIS DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WILL HAPPEN...
REPUBLICANS are Out of Touch with Americans & America
Trump, as a conservative, did great things for our economy but as a Republican, he SUCKS.
Stupid McCarthy allowed himself to be booted out of being the Speaker of the House, and his colleagues COULD NOT get together to elect his replacement for weeks.
Even though they resolved the issue, their DIVISION showed lack of LEADERSHIP... no one is going to vote for a party that is not united...
Despite the fact that Republicans are IGNORING their division, they are also IGNORING the fact that ABORTION is going to cause them to loose again... and, they are unable to pull their heads out of their asses to see the writing on the wall.
Who wants someone like that to LEAD US?
I certainly don't.
The recent elections in Kentucky an Virginia are being ignored by Republicans, as they are claiming these are local elections and not indicative of the national climate.
What a load of crap or horse shit might be a better way to describe their ignorance.
DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED WHEN FACING THE PUBLIC...
DEMOCRATS KNOW HOW TO GET THEIR MEMBER OUT TO VOTE...
DEMOCRATS RESPOND TO THE CONCERNS OF THE PEOPLE...
Republicans DON'T KNOW HOW to do any of that... and it is apparent that they do not want to learn.
REPUBLICANS are arrogant, self-righteous, claiming to be born-again Christians who THINK THEY KNOW what is best for the American People...
I have never met a Christian that really knows how to listen...
Representative Tlaib CENSORED
Many of us call ourselves CHRISTIANS and in so doing make the claim that we revolve ourselves around the teachings of the Bible. This belief could not be farther from the truth.
Congresswoman Tlaib was censored by the House today for her ANTI-SEMETIC remarks... and, while that is a bold move, did the House violate her FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS?
From the river to the sea, is a phrase that Arab terrorists use when they refer to Israel and means that they want to eradicate all Jews from Israel... even though the United Nations gave that land to Israel in 1947.
On November 29, 1947 the United Nations adopted Resolution 181 (also known as the Partition Resolution) that would divide Great Britain's former Palestinian mandate into Jewish and Arab states in May 1948 when the British mandate was scheduled to end. Source: US Department of State
Are your First Amendment Rights protected if and when you comments incite riots, even though you claim that was not your intention?
How can you prove to know what is in someone's mind or in someone's heart when they speak?
Personally,
I don't give a damn about the Jews nor do I give a damn about the Arabs.
What I do give a damn about is TERRORISM and unprovoked aggression into another country.
If Arab terrorists want to eradicate all the Jews and take their land away from them, then these people are refusing to follow international law and are refusing to honor the actions of the United Nations.
Representative Tlaib pushed herself very close to a red line that she then crossed over, trying to excuse herself by saying that was not her intent. Based upon her previous actions, comments, and behaviors, Congress did not BELIEVE HER, including 20 of her fellow Democrats.
Will she keep her mouth shut now?
Hard to believe that she would and hard to predict what she would do, especially if she is a woman of convictions.
What is KNOWN as a result of the war in Israel that HAMAS started... is that it has divided this country just as much or perhaps more than the hatred of Donald Trump has.
Tlaib as a member of Congress should be keenly aware that a DIVIDED COUNTRY does not survive very long.
WHAT DO YOU CARE ABOUT?
Quietly Arming Taiwan
To the casual observer it didn't appear a steep sum. It was less than the cost of a single modern fighter jet. Taiwan already has on order more than $14bn worth of US military equipment. Does a miserly $80m more matter? READ MORE...
It's No Surprise to Me
- Inflation
- Unemployment
- Illegal Immigration
- Censoring the Conservative Voice
- High Gasoline Prices
- A Divided Country
- Piss Poor Education
- Growing Threats from AI
- Anti-Israel Sentiments
- A Poorly Equipped Military
- People Leaving Democratic Run States
- Marginal Healthcare
- Low Wages
According to our CONSTITUTION laws are created by Congress, interpreted by the Supreme Court, and the country is managed by the Executive branch.
BUT... THAT IS NOT REALLY WHAT IS HAPPENING...
Lobbyists tell congress what to pass and what not to pass.
Those in congress are more concerned with re-election than with doing what's right for the people.
The Judicial Branch is ignored by the Executive Branch... ignored by other Judges and District Attorneys, as well as the people if they disagree and that happens more often than it doesn't.
The Executive Branch is not just influenced BUT TOLD WHAT TO DO BY OUR BILLIONAIRES who fund their campaigns.
Artificial Intelligence that exists inside humanoid robots will be taking our jobs. It is predicted that 80% of all jobs will be done by robots in 2030... that is only 6 years from now.
What will the people do, when the government does not have the money to take care of everyone?
The big problem is that MOST AMERICANS DON'T BELIEVE THIS WILL EVER HAPPEN...
They are soon going to find out they were WRONG...
Then what?
CASE IN POINT...
Numerous northern cities and states announced that they were sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants.
Well, guess what?
Southern border states started sending illegal immigrants to these sanctuary cities and states.
Guess what happened?
They are now BITCHING because they don't have the money to take care of them and are demanding that the Federal Government help out by giving them money.
What do they think... that money grows on TREES?
This same stupid mentality is now being voiced about Artificial Intelligence and humanoid robots... this will never happened...
We will never loose our jobs to ROBOTS...
Well STUPID... GUESS WHAT???
The Problem Everyone Worried About
There is no easy way to explain the sum of Google’s knowledge. It is ever-expanding. Endless. A growing web of hundreds of billions of websites, more data than even 100,000 of the most expensive iPhones mashed together could possibly store. But right now, I can say this: Google is confused about whether there’s an African country beginning with the letter k.
I’ve asked the search engine to name it. “What is an African country beginning with K?” In response, the site has produced a “featured snippet” answer—one of those chunks of text that you can read directly on the results page, without navigating to another website. It begins like so: “While there are 54 recognized countries in Africa, none of them begin with the letter ‘K.’” READ MORE..
