So, I’ve been looking for a counter to the “Domestic Terrorists” that some left radicals and soon all of them, will be calling anyone who values their constitution and freedom in America. IS Trump right? Do we need to save America? Should “America First” be the measure by which our country is governed? 

Or should Biden continue with the executive orders, giving away taxpayers hard earned cash to other countries in return for favors? Yes, I’m biased. In the first few weeks America has become less safe, less free than at any other period in our history.

Well, here are a few labels I’ve been toying with:

Domestic Traitors

Domestic Treasonous-ers

Multi-faceted (place your word here)

Etc.

But along comes an article that says it all:

“Enemies of the People”

These quotes below, were taken from the above article.

“The establishment declared war on me and on all conservative Americans when it decided that leftist orthodoxy was more important than the Constitution.” 

“It declared war on me when it told me that I was a domestic terrorist if I didn’t believe the government’s official pronouncements about elections, about free speech, and about right and wrong.”

These are simply people who think they are better than you and me. We are basically peasants in their eyes and meant to clean their homes, pave their streets, prepare their food.

I’m not a conspiracy nut or someone who believes in the Deep State. But what I have seen and heard, not seen and heard (censorship) watching business remove people for their beliefs and views, religion, has me pondering, what’s next? 

Minority Report ?- a movie where they predict who is going to be the next criminal using their thoughts to convict them, based on the POTENTIAL to do something wrong, even though they may never act on these impulses,

This is a criminal act in itself!

Well, once again, work and chores are calling me. Have a great morning!

And yes, I believe in America First.

Cancel Me. Why? Because I’m evil. Here are most of the reasons:

1 – I believe in free speech. The First Amendment.

2 – The 2nd Amendment. The right to bear arms. To protect myself and family without restraint.

3 – Freedom of the Press. Which includes the right for the press to censor what they report. And of course my right not to believe or use them for my information source.

3.5 Freedom of Business. Which includes the right to cancel accounts (FaceBook, twitter etc) BUT does not include the right to damage/kill maliciously your competition because they support free spech.

4 – Real Transparent Elections. Yes. Referring to the obviously contested elections we just had. What happened to finding the truth? Wouldn’t you want to know? I do. Whichever way it ended up.

5 – I want Newsom gone. He has been the worst governor of California. Ever. Too much to list here.

6 – Our government congress/senate do not have Americas values. They vote themselves raises of $40k while pointing to the $600 each person got for covid relief. Which lasted about one bill for me. The $40k would last a whole lot longer. But I guess I would need a job in congress where I only have to show up a few months out of the year to get $100K or more. For trampling on peoples rights, I would get big bucks. On second thought, I don’t want the job.

7 – I want the health dept restricted from making rules/laws/edicts. They are responsible for the bull along with another crappy person (Fauci) for ordinary citizens attacking each other based on false information about Covid. Enough with the lies and untruths about cases and deaths.

8 – For believing my voice in America IS important. Contrary to those in government. What is it Reagan said?

The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.

Various links from the sane:

Conservatives need to change Tactics

One Mask or Four?

This next one is the killer expose from a great study!

Just No Mask Stats

There’s of course many more reasons and I’m just getting started. I know I’m not the only one in America with these views. I also know there are those who don’t believe in any of the above. And that’s why we’re different. I will fully support your right to believe in what you believe. While you will constantly try to take away my rights, and hopefully deprogram me from my evil thoughts.

Until then, I will make a cup of steaming mushroom coffee. Yup. Might even have a piece of sourdough toast with it. (smile)

 

I’m ba-ack. Yup. Apparently I’ve been lost in Santa Clarita. And while lost, I came upon this veddy interesting spot near Towsley Canyon. A very popular place to hike or just bring your family to enjoy an outing on the weekend.

On this particular weekend , while hiking, we noticed a noxious smell. While not overpowering, it was not going to be sold in stores as the newest trendy perfume for the eclectic aspiring actor. Or anyone.

Sooooo… we found a path to take us closer, yes, not farther (dumb, I know…) to the source of this wonderful (/s) smell. How many times have you watched a movie only to stand up and shout “THEY’RE BEHIND YOU! TURN AROUND, NOW! RUN!!!” During the part where the mysterious stranger is brandishing a shiny new machete?

This was us. Yup.

For some reason, the Beverly Hillbillies song was going through my head.

“One day they were shooting through the woods and up from the ground comes a bubbling crude” or something like that. Mostly because that’s what was there. Some kind of natural petroleum spring, just bubbling away without a care in the world.

Towsley View Loop Trail leaves the creek and angles out of the bottom of the canyon, passing a few pools of oil and liquid asphalt that seep out from the wall of the canyon. Towsley Canyon was used by Chevron for oil production for over a century before the land was transferred to the public to become a park. Look down off the right side of the trail to spot dark glossy pools of oil that remind hikers of the area’s active drilling history as well as its robust seismic activity.

You can see the full hike here: Towsley Canyon Hike

Overall it was a good hike. About 5 miles or so total. I was of course waiting for the golf cart ride back to the entrance which never came. Sadly…(smile)

Have a great evening y’all!

This was originally posted in a messenger group I belong to. On Thanksgiving, upon arriving home, my power had been shut off by SCE. Mostly because of the Santa Ana winds, which ended up being not so windy. I thought “why not write something whimsical about it?” So here’s all 4 chapters which I pieced together here. (smile)

The Days After the Great Power Outage of Thanksgiving 2020…

by Carl.

One Thanksgiving day, not so long ago in fact, was a day that will forever be remembered in perpetuity. A day filled with the potential for love, laughter and the American Dreams of Canyon Country.

Our story begins the morning of  Thanksgiving in which the hero of this fable was none other than Carl, the Prince of Canyon Country Kingdom.

“I proclaim this day as an American tradition”, said Carl the prince. “No naysayers can belittle thy neighbor into believing otherwise. Unless of course you’re from the planet Rzxpyk since they have no days at all, sadly”. Carl said.

This bright and cheery morning, Carl set off into the wilderness of asphalt, lights and wood plaster buildings, heading to his seesters place for a vegan brunch.

“Fair seester of mine, I have picked up the to-go order of Cashew Chykin, String-Bean Shrymp. Which coincidentally resembles neither.’ He said.

“Thank you my most amazing brother in the universe.’ She replied. ‘Perhaps we can begin to eat?”

Unknown to Carl the Prince, a nefarious plot to remove power from his kingdom was taking shape while he was away.

Part II of
The Days After the Great Power Outage of Thanksgiving 2020…

Recap:

The Rzxpykians, which as we know, have no days. But do they have nights? We will probably never know since upon finding out we had 365 of them, the whole planet went completely insane and winked out of existence after being sucked into a singularity point or popularized, a black hole. Sadly.

The Prince, Sir Carl of Canyon Country Kingdom was now on his way back, after having vegan shrymp and chykin with his seester – which bore very little resemblance to either.

End recap.

“What a beautiful day it is” declared the Prince. “To be able to share a meal with family is priceless. I’m going to rename this day – ShrympsGiving” he thought out loud.

Something wasn’t quite right as the Prince got closer to the castle called home. The Prince also wondered if corduroy pants would ever be in fashion again, to top things off.

“Why are the lights that guide the way home, unlit?” he thought. Carl, the most wonderful Prince in all of Canyon Country Kingdom was stymied. Belonging to the guild of detectives and having been hit on the head as a child with a radioactive steal frying pan, he had acquired some special powers enabling him to make various soups and also get to the bottom of some conundrums…

“I will discover the treachery behind this” he exclaimed just as he pulled up to the castle doors driving across the alligator filled moat, which of course everyone knows were fed from the same radioactive frying pan, giving them the power of ‘Sneakiness……..’

Part III of:

The Days after the Great Power Outage of Thanksgiving 2020…

(The Final Chapter in this two-part series)

Recap:

The lights were unlit while arriving at Country Canyon Kingdom.

The memorial services for the planet Rzxpyk were cancelled Since there was no one left to attend. Sadly.

The alligators, having the power of “Sneakiness” were giving chase to the Prince’s vehicle. One had ripped through a rear tire and now the Prince was hobbling across the moat, albeit slowly.

End recap.

“Egads!” said the Prince. “My rear has been deflated”, while laughing at himself as he had personally trained the alligators to do just that. But this potential setback was not going to deter him. For his mission was clear. To discover the treachery behind the power outage.

Amazingly, the Wonderful and Smart Prince had made a plan years ago during the Great Power Outage of “Last Summer I Know What You Did, Without Power”

Which was to make a plan. A plan so simple that most were driven mad just thinking about it. “JIC” he called it or for those not versed in kingdom speech – ‘just in case’

The Prince, not one to mill about quickly began setting up his JIC plan. Which for the record did not include a BIC which was of course, a disposable lighter.

The Prince retrieved a generator from a storage shed and began the process of distributing electricity to the electrical appliances in the kingdom. And once his kingdom was electrified, there was only one thing left to do.

Part IV
The Days after the great Power Outage of Thanksgiving 2020…
(The end of this incorrectly named 2 part story)

Recap

Our Prince, Carl, has setup a generator to supply power to critical appliances in the Kingdom. He barely made it across the moat of ‘Sneakiness Alligators’ without becoming a tasty afternoon snack. And all without ketchup as the sneaky Gators mostly prefer hot sauce.

And a huge surprise was finding a lone survivor from the planet Rzxpyk. Apparently, the Rzxpykian had been on a solo mission to discover new life and civilizations throughout the Universe.

Rzxxies, a cult that started when the Rzxpykian returned, in their excitement,  accidentally caused the lone spacecraft to veer into the sun, thus ending the race once again. Which stopped the new memorial as there were no longer any surviving members of the species to attend. Sadly.

The Prince was getting very close to solving the power outage. But time was running out…

End Recap.

“I have so many questions!” The Prince exclaimed. Recently he had been informed  that his math was faulty. That a 2 part story was simply that. Not 4 parts at all! But he wanted so desperately to get to the bottom of this mystery.

His questions were:

1. Who was responsible for turning off the power

2. How long would the generator last on one tankful of gas And finally…

3. Do butterflies really taste with their feet?

“Research’ he cried. ‘I will use some of the power being applied in the Kingdom to connect to the internet!’ With which he patted himself on the back and thus began the search in earnest.

As it turns out, SCE (Sorcery Created Energy) had shut down the power lines to prevent fires in Canyon Country Kingdom because of high winds from downed power lines sparking. Which would have been a noble undertaking if not for the fact they usually caused the fires as old connectors would arc and Spark as power was reapplied.

With the mystery solved, Carl the Incredible Prince of Canyon Country kingdom was relieved. He said on the Kingdoms public address system, “No evil plots here” he proclaimed. And with that last comforting thought, he drifted off to sleep, unknown to him he had left the microphone on and the entire kingdom could not sleep now – because of his snoring.

The End.

Before you dismiss the title, please read this paragraph. It’s enlightening and of course about me. What I believe in. What’s important. Contained within the following paragraphs are an inside/out look at my psyche. Yes, all that and more. First, when I say Democrat, I don’t mean the democrats of today, the liberals, those individuals who claim to be “woke” etc. In fact, almost a 180 degrees from that.

As a teenager, whenever that was (sooo long ago…smile) when I became of legal age to vote, I, of course, registered to participate in electing the leaders of our amazing nation. HOWEVER, at the time I didn’t realize how truly amazing America was/is. Self-importance was key at the age of 18, along with girls, partying, cars and part time work, along with gas prices of 35 cents. Of course college was somewhere in the shadows as well. There was very little money in my family for furthering my education, which led me to alternative methods of gaining an education, which did include some college. I managed to obtain a small grant to pay for books etc. I believe it was around $800 or so. WOW! Big money. (grin)

Well, it just so happened that there were vote registration tables in my high school. I approached one cautiously, waiting for a hard sell to a recently released prisoner of higher education (Laughing till I stop). School had not prepared me to fill out this complicated document describing how I felt about politics, politicians, our country, our government.

What to do?

Being invincible as most teenagers are, at least in our own minds, I attacked the form with a gusto I had no idea had been holed up inside of my immature brain.

Then came the first question (after filling in the mundane like name, birth etc).

3. What party do you associate with?

In truth, it may have been a multiple choice question. At the time there were very few parties to choose from. Since I had never voted in any election, the respective government parties meant absolutely nothing to me.

So, in a Mr. Know-it-all fashion I said to the voter registrar: “What party are you? And what is the best one?” For the moment, I was stymied, not knowing which party to pick. Once again, the registrar came to the rescue. “You believe in Democracy, right?” she said. I replied, “Of course I do, RED WHITE and BLUE!”

“Then check the box marked ‘Democratic Party’ and continue filling out the rest of the form.” she replied.

Unknown to me, this was my indoctrination into what would later become a national plot to teach teenagers and young adults to hate their country. But wait a minute! I don’t hate my country. I didn’t then, I don’t now. To be clear, the beginnings of our education system indoctrinating children started way before that day in time. I was just clueless.

So, from that day forward I was a good democrat. I voted in the elections, looking for people that had the same affiliation as I did. The “D” next to their name. For years I followed the party lines until one day, the clouds and fog before me lifted. I heard a rumor there was another party. A party that stood for our country and what it was founded on. The very principals I personally believed. I had always wondered what the “R” was next to other names on ballots. In the beginning, the “D” had multiple ideas, platforms that I identified with. Until they didn’t. Strangely, the ideas and beliefs had moved to the “R” platform.

How could this happen? Was I tricked into signing a voter agreement registration form by check marking the “D”? Or was it my teenager lack of knowledge regarding the issues before our great nation. As time went by, I understood that my core beliefs were not aligned with the Democratic party. To be clear, I instinctively understood I was somewhat conservative.

I believe in the USA. Our history is who we are as a nation. God has been a part of this for as long as I can remember. I was baptized, confirmed and completed Sunday school with honors! As a nation, we haven’t been perfect, but there used to be a time when we helped the underdog, lifted the trodden, educated the poor and slowly led the people out of the past growing pains and mistakes that this country has endured.

With the current examples of the “D” such as our Icontrolufornia governor using a crisis to further his quest for power over the people of this great state, the adoption of the top-two candidate voting platform (destroyed the integrity of our elections) the continued erosion of our freedoms including free speech, guns and our homes, I have been saddened by the young of this decade being bamboozled by peer pressure into believing the doctrines of the far Left. Say it enough times, it becomes true, which is the motto of the Left’s education mantra.

Well, where does that leave me? I still have the “D” beside my name. In truth, I vote my inner beliefs, core values and what I think makes our nation stronger. I am a New Democrat. No longer am I represented by the nation destroying rhetoric of the “woke”. I use to be a tolerant person. But I now realize, I can be intolerant and still exist. What’s stopping me from changing my voter affiliation then, hmm? Because most people whom I call friends, know me pretty well. They would say I’m conservative. But for years I have voted and lived with my “D” designation. I am proud to represent America. To be a citizen of a great country, where everyone can start a business, succeed in life through hard work, perseverance and honest hard work. I don’t associate or believe in the “D’s” of today – not in the least.

In conclusion:

I am a New Democrat.

 

Just a quick post to say HEY! I will be updating soon as so much has happened. And with all that is happening, how could I not update, hmm?

 

Panspermia Hypothesis

In the link above which explains the hypothesis much better than say, uh, me – is something scholars have been debating since the dawn of, well, debating panspermia. Just what is it and can I get one from Pandera Bread?

Starting with the big bang, which is incredibly magical to the human mind,  the expansion that occurred may have had the beginnings of dna or LIFE particles needed to seed the forthcoming planets. The big question is “how did the dna travel throughout the universe?” Well, that question might be easier than asking how did the dna form in the first place.

Meteors have traveled through galaxies, solar systems and universes, since the dawn of time. Is it possible that meteors carried hitchhikers of dna which survived the almost nothingness of space, the heat of suns and re-entry to planets, the incredible temperatures, both hot and cold? If it did, there are thousands of meteors that came from mars, thousands that came from earth, possibly seeding mars and any planet they struck.

Would that mean that all planets in the universe carry some form of dna to be analyzed? Could that mean that the life that has evolved in the universe LOOKS LIKE US? OR US LIKE THEM?

I need my morning coffee now. Just saying…

 

Friday night once again in beautiful smokey Los Angeles. A suburb of LA to be clear. Did you know there was a war going on? War about what? Suburbs? Have you lost your marbles Mr. Carl Jasper? Maybe. Or perhaps just advancing my current fears on the state of our nation. Suburban fears. It appears there is a disagreement between the two hopefuls running for President of these here United States. Although, that’s not entirely true. The part about UNITED.

But before I get sidetracked, the title of this post “emmetropia” means perfect or 2020 vision. That’s a superpower which in the lifetime of the United States of America, has never been endowed to any politician. One can hope. It’s like the covid joke that’s been going around for months now:

“I’d tell you a killer covid 19 joke, but 99.9% chance you wouldn’t get it”

With fires raging across the western states, smoke filling the air and for some, untenable, wild theories are dancing across the pages of internet widsom.  Here’s a pic or two of lasers possibly igniting them: (for the the record…nah) This was a SpaceX launch I think.

This one below claims the “laser” was actually a grease line on the lens… like the second pic…nah.

California fire conspiracy theories have been around since 2018. They include the ideas the fires are caused by huge lasers, and that aliens or the United States government are igniting them ( here ,  here ). Business Insider addressed these theories  here&IR=T . 

Most if not all of these fires were started by lightning. Although a few were accidental by careless humans, and some on purpose by not-so-careless humans. Before you get excited and think, “well, I’m wearing a mask for covid so cool, I can get double the bang and wear for the unhealthful air quality”. A respirator, or N95, P100 mask are about the only ones that may filter the smoke particles from the air. Those surgical masks are once again, useless. Better to stay indoors. If you have a hepa filtering fan, you’re ahead of the curve.

Me? Well, I’m inside drinking a mushroom coffee, enjoying my pups, watching a few shows, reading and of course posting my ramblings.

What are you doing?
