  There seems to be a great deal of difficulty in the human species just getting from child to adult. We go through the period of all being included in whatever game we play, to the games becoming based on are we boys or are we girls and we must not mix. Then we enter the age of if you have a boyfriend or a girl friend you are somehow not quite right and should be corrected for crossing a line you didn’t know was there. Then one day the opposite is true and you are thought to be slow if you do not have a friend of the opposite sex.

  It is no wonder that by the time we are in our late teens we are totally confused and just looking for a life line, someone to be close to, hold on to, share with, care for and take care of, and we may not be all that concerned with the gender of that person in reference to our own. Wait, now we have those people that are oh so concerned about what others do and how this looks and do your parents know that and the crap never stops. The truth of the matter is that it is none of their damned business but they are determined to make it their business anyway.

  Names get called, labels get put on people and for as long as you are around those people nothing will ever change. Does it make you a bad person because you choose to have as your life partner someone of the same gender as yourself? Of course not, and it should not be viewed that way by any level of society. 

  The people that seem to be the most upset by these things are people that profess to be the most Christian, or believers in some scripture. Usually they are also strong advocates of a male dominated society with very strict rules. Those rules generally include no education for women, no voting rights for women, no property rights as they are considered property and can be bought, sold, beaten and killed with complete immunity by the men of the society they live in. 

  There are less stringent male orders such as the Catholic Church. Still the order demands that the women be subservient and follow the directions given by the men of the church. We also know that this does not work in the animal kingdom as usually it is a matriarch  that rules the pride or herd. The males are allowed around only during mating season.

  Which brings up the point of why female astronauts make more sense than male ones. They can go somewhere and take the necessary material to start a new colony if need be when men can not. Women can take the part of reproduction that a man donates and keep it safe and viable till needed then put it to work and produce another of our species anywhere they happen to be, men are unable to do this at the present time. 

  For those that are programmed to believe in the male dominated society that kind of thinking must throw them off the rails. It is unthinkable. There are societies on earth that check to see what sex a baby is and if it is female they get rid of it. The reason for this is simple, that society at some point required that a dowry be paid to marry a daughter and if people are very poor they can not afford to raise the daughter and ultimately marry her off. The part of this that seems to escape the attention of all is that it takes daughters to keep the population going, sons are great to build a ball team or an army but they are really poor at having a way to reproduce the ones lost to the wars the others have gone off to fight.

  The other main Taboo in the relationship game is the idea of marriage across racial lines. In some places it is dumb as having a spouse that speaks a different language. The mixing of whites with blacks was forbidden in this country for a very long time and yet there was no objection to slave owners getting slave women pregnant. Putting slave girls in houses of ill repute was not a problem, raping black girls was not considered a crime, just could not marry.

  The idea that others are not worthy is quite confusing as when wars were waged, be it the Vikings raiding England, the English raiding France, the Utes raiding a neighboring tribe, they all did the same thing, killed the men and took the women home to breed with. Common practice but do not bring that girl home and say you want to marry her because dad will find a reason why you should not.

   Billy comes home and says to his father “You know Becky lives over in the next Valley?” Pa says, “Ya” Billy says, “I want to marry her” Pa says” Is she a virgin?” Billy says “Ya” Pa says “ You can’t marry her son cause if she ain’t good enough for her own kin she ain’t good enough for us”.
  Relationships can have enough rough spots in them without going out of the way looking for crap that does not matter, or having people that need not be sticking their noses into business that is none of theirs. 

  We have all sorts of people that object to things based on their religious beliefs, that is their belief and it and they deserve no room in a space they are not invited into. If they have a business that may be called upon to serve some function in regards to a practice they object to then let them put that notice where all can see it as it may in fact impact how much business they get period.

  Just turn the situation around and have someone that is planning a big event and they have approached a business that is oh so willing and oh so happy to have the business and then the event planner walks in and gives some off the wall reason about the business that just makes it impossible to complete the deal  Now is there going to be a legal battle and news coverage and the infraction committed by the business published in the paper? 

  If 2 people of the same gender decide that their lives are to be lived together and they get a power of attorney to take care of one another as they age or they get a marriage license because the license makes them next of kin and the power does not and they would not be able to get in the hospital to see each other on the power. Even if the relationship they have is not sexual in nature the license gives the impression that it is and people condemn because people are people and most do not think. 

  In many places women are admired, put on a pedestal, even worshiped. In other places on earth they are kept wrapped in garments that hide not only their form but their identity. They are much easier to ignore, discredit and brutalize if they have no identity. Strangely ever the Arabs honor Mary the mother of Jesus all others seem to be fair game in the punching bag derby. The idea that a man would get on a gus and shoot a girl that was on her way home from school because she had gone to school and should not have was the reason to shoot her. This was not a crime by the standard in that country, the shooting was not a crime, going to school was.

  Here in the states we have gotten so turned around on laws that a pregnant woman that got shot and lost her baby because of being shot got sent to jail because of the crime against the fetus. We have put some of the least qualified people into office, have voted in some of the dumbest laws on record and allowed traitors to walk around and even run for public office when they should be at a minimum in jail for the rest of their sorry assed lives.

  As for all the get so upset about the RainBow Coalition people need to have others in their lives and sometimes the others they are most comfortable with come with the same piping as they have, get over it.  This has been around for as long as anyone can remember and will continue to be a part of the human condition long into the future. Having an opinion about something is normal, trying to make your opinion the rule everyone lives by is impossible. As has been stated before if it is not your cup of tea leave it alone, don’t go where you are not welcome or comfortable be that a bar, a bible study or a brothel all of interest to someone and in some cases everyone but if it is not for you don’t go.

The state or condition of not being in agreement, accordance, or harmony.

This is another Bumper Sticker rant.

Saw 2 stickers on the same vehicle and I am sure that they were absolutely in accordance with the owners’ views but the sentiment I feel is an incongruent train of thought.

One sticker [ I am Pro-Life prove me wrong]

The other [I am Pro-Gun prove me wrong]

I don’t know how these are related states of thought. I honestly wanted to ask this person if they could produce and obituary for a child that was killed by an abortion.

In Genesis, chapter one, God answers that question himself. He forms a figure from the Earth, but it does not become Adam (“man” in Hebrew) until God “breathes into him the breath of life, and he became man.” Clearly, life begins when you draw your first breath. That is when God places your soul in your body.

This person also had a [Pro -Life-God-Guns] sticker.

Going back to the query I would have like to pose to them about the child that an abortion killed, I can list 10 of thousands that a gun killed, actual walking talking children that had their light snuff out because of a gun.

So, how are you Pro-Life when you support the very object that currently in the U.S. kill more children than auto accidents? How do the Pro-Gun crowd feel that they hold some moral high ground over a woman who chooses to end a pregnancy when they can only offer thoughts and prayers when an event like Sandy Hook, Uvalde, Margie Stone Douglas, or any number of school shooting happen.

Someone please explain to me how someone’s ‘Right’ to own a gun supersedes a woman right to choose. That logic tells a woman that you don’t have the right to make a decision about having a child but if that child is killed by an asshole with a gun, well they have the right to that gun, sorry for your loss.

Add this to the pile of craps that get under my skin.

  Watched a presentation, an ad for what the MAGA Republican Party has in store for all of us if their Prince of Darkness gets back in office. No doubt his hope is that he will remain there until death and I am sure he hopes that all those preservatives in the McDonalds he eats will keep him around for a very long time. 

  At any rate the film showed a book burning, and a young lady objecting to this because the writer was an award winning writer, but the person throwing the book into the fire said it did not matter as the writer’s views were wrong, or we know better. Moved on to some effort to claim that slavery was not a bad thing, got challenged by a black lady in the crowd and she was then set upon by individuals determined to show her the error of her thinking. The film then moved on to a lady in handcuffs being taken into custody and trying to explain that she had had a miscarriage and being told that would be up to the court to decide. The final scene was this man who had been observing all of these events finally making a statement to this crowd about it all being fascist and getting accused of being gay.

  How have we managed to slide to the level where all of history is a lie and the only truth is white superiority and male dominance? 

  There are some things we can be sure of from history, the Pyramids were built, by whom and how, still not sure, same for StoneHenge. The Roman Road is a fact as well as the wall between England and Scotland. We know that someone discovered America and much of history has been documented for quite some time, there is always room for doubt when it comes to the outcome of war as the winner writes the book.

  Are we sure of all the stories in the Bible, for some yes, for others no, take your pick as to which side you are on. Put it on the basis of the difference between a Fairy Tale, a War Story and a Myth. Fairy Tales begin Once Upon a Time, War Stories begin You ain’t going to believe the shit but it is true, and a Myth begins, In The Beginning.

   America was discovered by white men long after red men had settled here, so when white men came they stole the land they settled. In turn the white men wanted to raise more than they could manage on their own so they brought black men to do the work, slaves as these men were not paid but kept in bondage. There were black women as well and in some cases the white men decided to increase the number of slaves by breeding with the black women whether they wanted to or not.

  We fought a war with England to become an independent nation in 1776 and then fought them again in 1812. In the 1860’s we fought a war within our nation because of slavery as part wanted to keep it and part did not. We decided to end the practice although in 2016 it looked as if the idea was very much in favor of being reinstated by that administration.

  In 1914 we fought in WWI and then went through the roaring 20’s and the depression of the 30’s and WWII in the 1940’s. Both World Wars were fought with Germany and the second one was when they were involved in the Holocaust. We have been involved with a number of conflicts since then and probably will continue to be involved in conflicts as that and disease are the two main methods mother nature has of controlling the population.

  So with this little picture of the MAGA world shall we take a guess at how this is all to play out. Education will be such that only the information the party wants you to know will be taught. Believe nothing that the party doesn’t tell you. We know we need an Army so train Whites to be leaders and others to the soldiers. Since it is a male dominated world we can pick and choose who we believe in the matter of reproductive problems. We will not tolerate gays or anything like that. There will be a party line answer for all problems and situations and it will be adhered to.

  Sounds just like a page from someone else’s book of bull shit, Marks and Lennin. That is definitely a country I don’t want to live in. Why would anyone else?

The current crop of degenerates holding court in the U.S. House of Representatives are bent on burning the country to the ground if they don’t get their way. Greene and her ilk are like bags of gasoline and their dear leader, the Mango Menace, is the match. They have become it’s our way or no way caucus just like the tyrant they pledge allegiance to and will gleefully hurt the public.

Prime example a normal bi-partisan bill to fund the Military was blocked by the GOP, the same GOP that claims to be all about defense and supporting our men and women in uniform. It’s not a huge surprise when Tuberville has blocked all senior promotions in the ranks of the armed services because he doesn’t want female persons serving to be reimbursed if they have to seek gynecological care outside the state they are stationed. Not only is not supporting our troops it is damaging our national defense, but it is another thing they also claim to support.

Now McCarty has unilaterally started an impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden. The clown caucus admits that they do not have any evidence for a charge of a high crime or misdemeanor, they are going to start an inquiry so they can find or more than likely manufacture evidence to support their belief of impropriety.  This is one more occasion that the GOP is still answering to DJT and doing his bidding and if there is any semblance of national pride it will bite them in the ass.

Donny is already floating that if he gets back into the White House that the 2024 term would be a do over of his 2016 term because of the Russia inquiries. He honestly thinks that he will be President for life if he gets back through the door again. The Republican/Trumpubicans already have plan the 2025 Project that would weaponize the DOJ as well as state houses to steal the vote. It is amazing that a significant portion of the public does not see that everything the GOP is saying that Biden is doing is exactly what they want to do. (If you don’t know Biden isn’t doing any of the things, they claim he is.)

All I can say and keep saying is VOTE and VOTE in overwhelming numbers so that their mischief doesn’t work, read a paper stop listing to Faux News or any broadcast for a Sinclair owned outlet. Just open your eyes and realize that the Shit Show the Republican want is not what is going to help America or Americans.

Thanks for reading my rant.
