Government Tyrants Play with Fire

/snip

No doubt the politicians and their State-controlled agents in the press will actually hail President Trump’s arrest as shimmering validation that “no one is above the law.”  What poppycock!  What glittery abuse of power.  What abominable descent into tyranny!

If Bill and Hillary Clinton had ever been properly charged for their decades-long crime spree involving perjury, rape, investment swindling, real estate scams, stolen White House furniture, Chinese bribery, campaign finance violations, family foundation fraud, mishandling of classified secrets, conspiracy to defraud the United States with the Russia hoax, Epstein-linked prostitution and child-trafficking, or their uncanny proclivity for leaving a trail of dead associates in their wake, their rap sheets would stretch from here to the moon.  Had Barack Obama ever had to properly answer for illicitly using the IRS, EPA, DOJ, FBI, and Intelligence Community to target, harass, and persecute his political opponents or account for his stunning success in using his political office to transition from one of America’s poorest presidents to one of its wealthiest, he and his wife would not so absurdly yet flippantly claim that his presidency was aboveboard and “scandal-free.”  If there were not a two-tier “justice” system that exists only to protect Deep State friends and demolish Uniparty enemies, Joe Biden’s notorious reputation over the last half-century as a bought-and-paid-for stooge of foreign governments and domestic crime syndicates — with a family of drug users and reprobates who profit solely from his politically-protected name — would have at least kept him far from the White House, if not serving time in prison.

/snip

… But sacrifice your security, reputation, and good fortune in order to run for office against the Uniparty’s collective will and make America great again?  Well, that, my friends, must be punished to the hilt, lest the American people learn to govern themselves without first consulting D.C.’s occupying forces for approval!

/snip

Now is the time to see who stands where, whose verbiage is nothing but fluff, and whose words are backed with mightier stuff.  If Republican Party leaders do nothing while the Deep State locks Trump up, then that party is dead.  If Americans who claim to respect free speech say nothing while a political leader is imprisoned for his words, then their appalling silence will speak volumes.  If Americans who wrap themselves in the American flag and claim to stand for liberty instead hide and wilt away, then we will know once and for all who really sacrifices for America’s rights and freedoms when every day becomes Independence Day.  There stands Trump, fighting the good fight, refusing to give in; now we will see where every politician, pundit, or self-proclaimed patriot stands, too.

/snip

This did not have to happen.  American leaders have had many opportunities to confront evil and nip tyranny in the bud.  Too many stayed quiet while the national security surveillance State worked to take down a sitting president.  Too many stayed quiet while the Uniparty stole the last election.  Too many stayed quiet while the Deep State censored Americans’ free speech.  Too many stayed quiet while leftist legal henchmen locked up J6 political prisoners for the thoughts within their heads.  Too many stayed quiet when the installed president of the United States called half the country “enemies,” “extremists,” and “terrorists.”  At any point, had enough elected officials finally risen, ground their heels into the dirt, spat upon their hands, and said “no,” this present tyranny would not exist.

If today is not the day to stand for freedom, then freedom is in mortal danger.  And any politician refusing to back up words with real action is as cowardly and worthless as the multitude of pretenders.

No nap for me today.  And I’m still up a little late, but not for much longer.  Got some things done today, and I’m actually feeling pretty good about spring being on the way.  Got my worm bedding all set up in hopes that I might get them here a day or so early and get them acclimated to their… Read more »

Never waste the fat!  What you don’t eat – BURN. Some grease/fat on a paper towel makes a dang good fire starter; particularly if it is wrapped around a pile of wood chips that have been soaking in 100 proof alcohol.

Bones, I use it to make the gravy. I dip some of the liquid out an hour or so before I make my gravy and put it in the fridge to separate. That way the gravy isn’t too greasy.

#34 SD:  I like the fat separator, but I usually leave the fat in with all the meat until the next day; after the meal is cooked and chilled, and I pick it off the top with a fork or spatula; then bag the leftovers for freezing and lunch later.

We just finished up with supper, roast beef n gravy with smashed taters, butter peas, turnip greens and rolls. Wife had a Dr appointment in Enteritis this afternoon and rolled in about 5:35 just as I was making the gravy perfect timing. My plate. 😉

Too bad Billy can’t speak people, as he must have quite a lot to tell given his cautious taking of what you offer him.  Hope he learns to trust you and your hospitality soon.  He certainly has found a wonderful place and appreciates it.   St. Francis is smiling.

From what I hear, they relentlessly beat up on those parents to volunteer so much at that school, the parents have probably drawn the line at running a concession stand, too.

Christianity is opposed to concession stands now ?

As an old Little League baseball concession stand operator (at 11 & 12 years old) I really resent the fact they are trashing a great American tradition.

Is there no small thing immune to the Woke Creeps anywhere ?

Went to a high school baseball game this afternoon at the local Christian school.
It was a real treat, even though it did drizzle the whole time.

No concession stand. Going to bring peanuts next time.

I just saw a couple of REA Bucket Trucks go by followed by a Pole Truck pulling a new pole. I guess they’ll be replacing the light pole at the corner by the old Farmhouse. I better get down there to supervise this operation.
