SANTA CLAUS IS AN IMMIGRANT

What a crazy time…. ICE raids and protests. What I noticed is that almost all people that are at these protests are white liberals maybe with some conservative centrists that don’t like what they define as a “police state” when you have armed ICE Agents in masks just putting their gardeners and landscapers and cheap as fuck roofers and contractor help in vans and SUV’s for unknown reasons. In all fairness, some of them are Hispanic, that were definitely born here and don’t have immediate family that are at “risk” and didn’t really see too many African American folks, mainly because they are sticking with the motto “my name is Bennit and I ain’t in it”. Maybe that’s a smart move but white folks are definitely not loving any infringement or what they see as government overreach. White folks are hard core.

To make sense of this, I’ll put this in a way that people might be able to understand. The illegal entry to the U.S. is a misdemeanor, with a small fine and the possibility of 3 months in jail, which usually never happens, what usually happens is that they are deported right away with the word Hi-Tech imprinted on their ass from the bottom of the combat boot that was there a second ago. The entry of illegal immigrants has actually made money for the country if looking at it with a macro lens. Driving without a license carries a heftier fine with the possibility of 6 months in jail. People driving without a license creates harm because it raises insurance premiums on folks that do things the right way and it takes money away from the states and federal government because they are not paying the required fees.

Are they now going to stop every person driving to make sure they have a license? No.. they are going to wait until they commit another infraction, like running a red light and catch them and then add the extra charge of driving without a license because it is just a hassle and huge waste of time to stop everyone to make sure they have a license even though they create more harm then people being here illegally.

Don’t you think that would be a better approach for illegal immigrants? There’s a reason why there are so many illegal immigrants still here, its because 99% of them don’t do anything wrong.

EVEN MORE REASONS WHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE FALLING BEHIND

California just paid out a whopping $4 Billion settlement, that’s just Los Angeles County, for sexually assaulting little boys in half way homes, foster care homes, State funded children centers, churches and at juvenile detention centers. It’s ok though, because the State apologized and now its all better, the booboo is gone. Right, that’s how it works, you say “my bad” and the sexually abused children are now all better because of your words and I’m guessing the $4 Billion that tax payers have to shell out doesn’t hurt, well, it doesn’t hurt the people receiving it, not compared to what those fucking nasty predators did to them. The tax payer, they’re fucked…… in a whole different way than those children were. That was a cringy way to say that but I feel it needed to be said.

Per the Los Angeles Times…. “Los Angeles County has reached a $4 billion agreement to settle nearly 7,000 claims of sexual abuse in juvenile facilities since 1959, officials said Friday.”

The agreement, which still needs approval from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, far surpasses a $2.6 billion settlement reached in 2022 with Boy Scouts of America that was the largest aggregate sexual abuse settlement in U.S. history at the time.“…… “And last year the Archdiocese of Los Angeles agreed to pay $800 million to victims of clergy sexual abuse, bringing the total payout to more than $1.5 billion

Lets be clear on something, the Boy Scouts, the juvenile detention center and the clergy thing were all done by homosexual males. The foster care thing and the child centers were probably also all homosexuals that did it, but not one mention of the people that did it. So somewhere between 99% to 100% of these incidents that cost tax payers upwards of $5 Billion dollars were committed by homosexuals. Money that could be used for anything else…. better schools (that the homosexual predators will try to infiltrate), better forest management (where these homosexual predators would take some of their victims), lower income tax and property tax (where these homosexual predators would uh… have dungeons but no dragons?) I apologize for making jokes, I probably shouldn’t but that is how I deal with stuff. The problem, as always, I’m not funny, this making the situation even worse. It’s like Elon making a joke about his vandalized cars, “they destroyed my vehicles and now I have to make a sad Tesla”. Jesus, that was stupid.

This blarticle, unlike all others, is a criticism of homosexuals. They state how that they are often criticized and how people discriminate against them and they are a tight knit community that will persevere even in the face of adversity and hate but they say nothing to the authorities when one or more of them are sexually abusing a child, even though they are such a tight knit community who all of a sudden are not that tight knit. They hold these parties and parades but have no clue what they are doing, it all seems a little Diddy to me. A shit load of people that have temporary amnesia or were blind and deaf at the time these incidents occurred. Not one of them stepped forward to the authorities to report anything because they all say they knew nothing. Come on… even Diddy isn’t trying to pass off that lie. Nobody believes the Diddy people and no one believes that not one of the homosexual people in that community had no idea that these abuses were happening.

You might ask, how does this relate to the Democrats? Good question….. who asked that? I’m sure it was a Democrat. Let me be vague…. I have no idea except to say that Democrats are the champions of the equality of homosexuals but also not really, democrats, for some reason think homosexuals are better than heterosexuals. These payouts represent the decisions made by Democrats. These decisions led to these abuses and these payouts.

The Democrats put in place safeguards against male prison guards when it comes to female prisons due to rapes but in doing so they chose not to place any safeguards against homosexual prison guards because they somehow believed that homosexuals are better people and wouldn’t rape a child? They put safeguards when heterosexuals are in compromising situations but not homosexuals, even though empirical evidence suggests, sorry, flat out states that homosexuals will take advantage of a child 1000% more than a heterosexual or 11 times more or a 11 to 1 ratio. But yeah, by all means, keep championing their stances of being alone with children in kindergarten classes and juvenile detention centers and foster care and adoptions. You’re right, the roughly 300,000 children that were sexually assaulted by them should not be enough for you to place those safeguards….. and that’s in LA county alone. Does this make me a homo-racist, (I’m not a homophobe, I don’t care you exist, I care you hurt people)? And this is the ones we know about, not the ones that went to court and had the courts shoot down their claims due to political pressures or because the courts want to protect an institution or from children that would not come forward due to embarrassment and anxiety.

They say that only 20% of sexual assaults are actually exposed, that would mean that the real number, in LA county alone is more likely 5 times what is being reported, so somewhere between 1,500,000 and 2,500,000. This is taking into account for bias numbers being reported by the papers and authorities to try and stave off what would be a horrific collapse of a system due to stupidity and personal bias. They would purposely lower those numbers as much as possible because elections are right around the corner.

This was happening way back in 1959…. I’m pretty sure this was reported to the proper authorities and ignored…. who the hell was the head of the FBI back then? Another funny on my part… it was none other than J. Edgar Hoover, the grand pedophile himself. What a fucked up system.

I’m not saying that all homosexuals do this but that they are more likely to do this as stated by the FBI, DHS, HHS, NIH and a host of many other initials. I don’t care the reasons why homosexuals do it, I just care that these stupid ass politicians that refuse to see the truth because they are so fucking woke. I’m not telling you to imprison homosexuals who have done nothing wrong, I’m telling you to do your due diligence so it makes it almost impossible for anyone to do something wrong. If it means don’t hire homosexuals for kindergarten classes, then don’t. If it means put cameras in classes, then do that. If it means asking people about their sexuality prior to hire, when it comes to the safety of children, then what the fuck…., just do it… but stop being so fucking woke that you endanger my child or any child. You want to champion a cause, be the politician that had no sexual assaults cases in their district or State, no matter whose feelings get hurt.

Do you remember when former U.S. Attorney Merrick Garland complained about parents in school meetings? The parents were upset because some homosexual school teacher was propagating some scenario that the parents felt was homosexual grooming. The parents complaints were taken as threats by the Justice Department and he told the FBI to investigate the parents like they were domestic terrorists. The parents complaint was that minor children under a certain age did not need to learn about sexual education and anything that they needed to know at that age, it was up to the parent to teach their children not a homosexual teacher. Merrick Garland, with all his wisdom, disagreed, flat out making it seem that the homosexual teacher was a more suitable person to teach third graders about sex. The above taxpayer having to dish out a shitload of money scenarios explain why Mr. Garland was wrong. I think Mr. Garland doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground. His ass is where the homosexual wants to stick their dicks, the hole in the ground is where he puts this countries morals. But this is the democrats at work, their wokeness over everyone’s safety.

I understand this is a harsh criticism of a particular group of people and I understand that not all homosexuals are bad people or pedophiles.

MORE ON WHY THE DEMOCRATS LOST THEIR WAY

Like the proverbial political pendulum politics proves people….. ehhhh … something with a p….. pugilistic? pedantic? pluralistic? pedestrian? perplexed? perturbed? I could keep going but my Sesame Street dictionary slash thesaurus has run out of words starting with p that would make sense. The current political environment has some lefty politicos asking questions, some on instagram or tik tok or facebook, but it’s all the same question, why didn’t you vote for us? I think they deserve an answer.

I’m going to start with a simple answer that most people might not agree with. Do you guys remember Bob Dole? The one thing I remember at the time was the guy saying “what’s wrong with cigarettes?” You remember that. Claiming that cigarettes might not be addictive. I voted for the other guy. Obviously cigarette companies were funding that Republican ticket, in part, and he was going to go to bat for them. The Democrats seized on that and stated flat out that this guy didn’t care about anyone. Fast forward some however many years later, the Democrats say the same thing about marijuana that ol’ Bob said about cigarettes. The difference, the marijuana lobby gives a lot of money to the Democrats.

I heard the stories that marijuana isn’t as addictive as nicotine or alcohol by the left leaning dumb dumbs and so they justify their support for the hemp and the pork gratuities they receive from the lobbyists. My opinion, no, the facts are that they’re full of shit. I guess if you have enough power and money you can always find a doctor to say what you want. I know that some of the most prominent left leaning leaders of the democrat party are for it, Bill Maher (might be the only issue I disagree with Bill Maher on), Seth Rogan, Bernie Sanders, Former President Obama, Snoop, and many others… but the fact is that marijuana is a gateway drug and in my former community, marijuana created more havoc than any other drug. I have never known one person that the first drug that they used was something else other than marijuana…. but I know people that died from speed balling, cocaine use, meth and heroin. They all started the same way, smoking a joint. Am I saying that if they didn’t smoke marijuana, they wouldn’t haven’t used the heavier drugs? Yes…. for the love of God… yes. Marijuana got them there as they chased the dragon to new heights and marijuana is the reason they died. For the poor marijuana is an even heavier burden because, unlike the middle class or the rich, there is no rehab stints. The poor and lower middle class have to work and can’t revolve their vacation time around rehab. Poor peoples rehab is called county lock up, which comes with many other problems. The idea that legalized marijuana will solve the drug problem is absolutely ridiculous. If you thought that the punishment that you received for smoking marijuana was too harsh, then you lower the punishment not make the drug legal. Once you introduce something into society, there is no taking it back. Remember Abolition and how well that worked. There’s a reason why the U.S. keeps slipping down the education world table and it isn’t only because of tik tok and youtube.

The disastrous decision by the democrats to legalize marijuana isn’t going to have a great impact immediately, it’s going to take a while like their last great effort to push small businesses into minority neighborhoods. Back in the 70’s there were complaints by the Democrats about the SBA not giving loans equally to minorities. That led to small businesses being brought to minority neighborhoods, mostly liquor stores, because everyone knew that would be the best enterprises in those neighborhoods. 30 years later, you have those same democrats complaining that minority neighborhoods are being exploited and that there is a liquor store at every other corner, this time meant in a derogatory way. The funny thing is (or the worse thing), those people that actually succeeded with those enterprises… no longer live in those minority neighborhoods. They take the money they made and move to Republican cities….why? Because Republicans use the money they make from their businesses and invest in schools, infrastructure and safety…. while the Democrat neighborhoods are investing in jails, meth clinics and embezzlement. The Democrats don’t even stipulate that with a loan or by giving a business an opportunity to open in a minority neighborhood, you have to live in that neighborhood. They don’t invest in their neighborhoods and they complain like it someone else’s fault that the neighborhoods are that way. Unfortunately, more minority neighborhood mayors are arrested or indicted than any other, mostly for embezzlement or abuse of power or under the Hobbs Act. It has become a ridiculous situation with bad decision after bad decision.

At least the Democrats will have a new business in between those liquor stores in minority communities, a marijuana dispensary. The owner of those stores won’t live in that community but the people getting high and barely making rent will. Thanks Demos, another thing that you made better because you can’t see three feet in front of you. And for the rich people with a ton of money, live in one of these neighborhoods for 2 years and then tell me that you think allowing marijuana is a smart decision. And before you say that it was on the ballot and the voters voted for it, I will remind you that those same voters would vote to eliminate all taxes if that proposal was on the ballot. Smart people know that would be disastrous but most people won’t give a damn, they would only think an extra 10 to 40 grand in their pocket. You’re suppose to be the grown up… but all you care about is being liked, winning that next popularity contest that keeps you in office.

Facts about marijuana:

Cannabis is the most commonly used federally illegal drug in the United States; 52.5 million people, or about 19% of Americans, used it at least once in 2021.

Recent research estimated that approximately 3 in 10 people who use cannabis have cannabis use disorder. (a fancy way of saying they’re addicted)

The risk of developing cannabis use disorder is even greater for people who begin to use it before age 18.

Cannabis use directly affects the parts of the brain responsible for memory, learning, attention, decision-making, coordination, emotion, and reaction time. (so it makes you dumb and if you are already dumb, than dumber. So either Jeff Daniels or Jim Carrey. You can forget about being that lawyer, sports star or elected official. These scenarios are for regular long term users, not the occasional spliff and also meant for people that are born normal and not with 180 IQ like some of these people who smoke to control their overactive brains)

Infants, children, and teens (who still have developing brains) are especially susceptible to the adverse effects of cannabis.

Long-term or frequent cannabis use has been linked to increased risk of psychosis or schizophrenia in some users.

Why the fuck would you make this legal unless it was to create zombies.

More reasons why the Democrats are getting whipped at the polling stations to come.

IS “WHO KILLED JFK” THE RIGHT QUESTION?

There is this big hoopla about the release of the JFK files. Who did it and why? As these reporters delve into the released files and the CIA taking front stage by knowing of Lee Harvey Oswald movements prior to the assassination of JFK, supposedly, it sure looks like that…. either the CIA was an ineffective agency that had no clue to what was going on or that they knew and might even had a small part in it. Reportedly, this is something that was reported at the time, the CIA and JFK were not on good terms. The question is, who reported that? McCone, the Director of Central Intelligence, even though he was a Republican, was nominated by Kennedy and he admired Kennedy because Kennedy actually read his reports and listened to his advice. McCone was not at odds with Kennedy. Also, it wasn’t the CIA’s responsibility to track Oswald while he was in the U.S., it was the FBI’s. The CIA reported the information to Hoover about Oswald and the FBI was suppose to track him because the CIA was prohibited from running any ops inside the USA unless they were attached to another law enforcement agency who would take lead in the operation.

The questions I have…. have nothing to do with Oswald, they have a lot to do with Jack Ruby. The first question I have is, who knew that Jack Ruby was an FBI informant and a homosexual? That his position as an FBI informant was scrubbed right prior to his assassination of Oswald? Who knew that J. Edgar Hoover, also a homosexual, was at odds with the Kennedy administration prior to his assassination due to wanting to have Hoover replaced? Who knew that Jack Ruby, Oswald’s killer, had spent the days prior to the assassination and the day of the assassination with Bob Vanderslice, another FBI informant, sexuality unknown? Who knew that New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, tried to prosecute Clay Shaw, another homosexual and FBI Informant, David Ferrie, an FBI Informant, homosexual and known pedophile, and Guy Bannister, a once employee of the FBI, and probably human asset for the FBI, who Shaw and Ferrie worked for as CI’s? Who knew the J. Edgar Hoover was accused of having sex with underage boys, never formally investigated or convicted, in both Louisiana and in California and that those incidents were reported to RFK, who probably told JFK?

This is from Wikipeadia from excerpts from the Warren Commission investigation and FBI investigation…. “On November 25, Martin was contacted by the FBI. Martin told the FBI that Ferrie might have hypnotized Oswald into assassinating Kennedy. The FBI considered Martin’s evidence unreliable. Nevertheless, FBI agents interviewed Ferrie twice about Martin’s allegations.[30] Ferrie admitted that he had made public and private statements criticizing Kennedy’s actions during the Bay of Pigs, but he denied ever stating that the President should be killed. He stated that he had no recollection of having met Oswald and if he had the meeting would have been “very casual”.[31] Ferrie stated that Martin had “bedeviled him in every manner possible” since sending him out of Gill’s office in an “undiplomatic manner” in June 1963.[32][33] Gill told the FBI that Martin blamed Ferrie for not getting a job and subsequently “slandered Ferrie at every opportunity”.[22] The FBI also interviewed about 20 other people in connection with Martin’s allegations. The FBI said that it was unable to develop a substantial case against Ferrie. An inquiry by the House Select Committee on Assassinations, conducted a decade and a half later, concluded that the FBI’s “overall investigation of the 544 Camp Street issue at the time of the assassination was not thorough.”[34]

This from the Guardian derived from an interview of a top FBI Agent and supervisor who gave statements to both the FBI and Warren Commission….. “Other accounts of the Director’s alleged sexual activity, if true, would certainly have destroyed him had they become public. A former Bureau inspector and trusted associate named Jimmy Corcoran said years later that Hoover, youthful at the time, had once asked him to deal with a serious “problem”. He had been arrested on sex charges involving a young man during a trip to New Orleans. Corcoran, who had powerful contacts in the state, said he intervened to hush the matter up.” The charges were not brought forward at the State level but I believe that they were secretly sent to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, most likely because the person that was investigating was disgusted by the situation and if he could not do anything abut it, he thought maybe the U.S. Attorney could. That could be where RFK first learned about this incident. This would be the same New Orleans where Ferrie resided and who had been arrested twice on moral offensive charges, most likely sodomy or oral gratification of another man or receiving oral gratification from another man.

J. Edgar Hoover became head of what would be known as the FBI in 1924. Hoover remained in control of the FBI until his death in 1972, never having kids, in the traditional sense, or getting married. Hoover was intelligent and deliberate. He was extremely organized and a great chess player, again, not in the traditional sense that I am aware of…. but maybe. Hoover managed to stay in position as the head of the most elite organizations in America for 48 years. Along the way, Hoover hired his people and made them in charge of different sections within that agency, like Clyde Tolson, his second in command. He was secretive, intelligent, somewhat charismatic, a little dramatic, extremely organized, sought power and if his penis was the size of a thimble, he fit the exact FBI profile of a pedophile.

All these remarks can be verified except for smiling Jack being an FBI informant, only the FBI can verify that statement, if anyone is still around from that time.

While my post seems over the top, if you think about what we know of MKUltra and COINTELPRO and how Hoover managed to stay in power for so long, its an amazing ride for him. The FBI is always tasked with investigating incoming Presidents and legislators, anything that the Hoover found out was his to disseminate as he chose. Hoover was meticulous and has his people follow every bread crumb, especially when it came to Presidents. They had no secrets from him. Anything that was embarrassing or illegal would remain in his files and in exchange or just in case.

Other information about the now deceased director said that J. Edgar Hoover was said to frequent a hotel in La Jolla, California where young Mexican boys, likely underage, were brought to him and then paid for their services and sent back to Mexico with money in their pockets.

If any of this is true, and all these allegation were printed by multiple sources, and if RFK and JFK had found out about this, do you think that J. Edgar Hoover would use his immense power and influence to kill a President and his brother?

This post states through a direct quote from an FBI investigator that Oswald might have been hypnotized into wanting to assassinate the President, has that ever happened before? Reagan…. Trump? And who has the ability to do something like that? According to these articles, the FBI were one of the very few with that technology.

What the FBI has stated in their profiling of these pedophiles, is that they seek powerful positions but rarely elected positions. They travel in groups but never very large, it will most likely garner too much attention. They have some sort of signals so they can identify each other, I’m guessing.

This is a true story, I was once asked what time it was by a guy, I looked at my watch and told him the time, you know, like a normal person that was asked would do, and he replied “never mind”. I asked him, “if you didn’t want to know, why did you ask?” He just shook his head and said “never mind”. I was on a flight from somewhere back to Newark, NJ. When I got home, this was sticking in my mind for some reason, being former law enforcement, when people act like dip shits I usually wanted to know why, but since it isn’t a crime to be a dipshit, I couldn’t do anything to find out. I told my girlfriend about the incident, “the weirdest thing happened to me” and I told her the story. She, being a flight attendant at the time, started to laugh. I asked why are you laughing and she said that is how homosexuals try to find out if you are homosexual, its one of their signals. My thought was, well I’m glad that the response for that wasn’t giving him the right time because that would have been awkward. I never found out what their response was, I never cared but it resonates that pedophiles most likely have the same kind of signals or signs, kinda like a gang sign, I guess. And for the record, I used to be handsome, according to my ex anyway.

The thing that we know is that homosexuals, according to the NIH (if I read that right) a government entity, are 11 times greater to be pedophiles than heterosexuals. That makes sense, a grown man trying to rape another grown man would be almost impossible because even a small grown man, with an adrenaline flow as he tries to stop another grown man from sticking something up his ass, would fight to the death, (I would), which then would just make it necrophilia. Homosexuals would have to prey on young kids, like the priests and altar boys.

Really quick, I want to say that this isn’t an article about homosexuals being pedophiles, I am aware that not all homosexuals are pedophiles but that most pedophiles are homosexual, this also according to the FBI profilers. This is about the person that commissioned most of these studies and that he was most likely the most prolific pedophile in the history of the United States and due to his position and power, no one would stop him. And, maybe when that one person that did try, he most likely had him killed. There is no doubt that the FBI was infiltrated by these people because of Hoover but it is unknown if it is still that way. There are court cases that are being dismissed that relate to some of this but the dismissals make no sense, it only protects people that already have a ton pf power.

Other discerning facts about pedophiles are…. they aren’t generally gym rats but as times change so do they, they are charismatic and usually try to endear themselves to you, they are the cockroaches of the human race… meaning that they adapt quickly to their environment and many lack empathy, probably all of them. They don’t pack a punch in their genital region and are usually close to being considered innies. Like I stated prior, they are intelligent, they have to be and very conniving. And they were fiercely loyal to each other, given that not many people share their interests, like Tolson was to Hoover.

Also, I believe that Hoover died while being investigated by the FBI. A stress heart attack in his sleep. His second in command, Tolson, who became the Director of the FBI for one day before being replaced by Patrick Gray, fell ill immediately after handing over the keys to the house to Gray. Tolson would die a short while later from the affects of a stress induced stroke. Also the tell tale signs of an FBI investigation. Hoover fought hard to not relinquish power but it was ultimately the U.S. Attorney’s Office investigation into him that killed him. If you want to see files relevant to the assassination of JFK and RFK, then you need to request the files into the investigation into J. Edgar Hoover, I believe that should be the files that should be asked for without redaction.

This is just my opinion but it makes way more sense then the conspiracy theories that are already out there. If I had to guess, this would be my guess, especially given how the FBI was ostracized by the Warren commission for doing such a shitty job in investigating the death of JFK. The FBI investigated and they couldn’t find themselves, it seems right. J. Edgar Hoover was most likely a very bad person but he didn’t care. Now, if I build a hotel and name it Hitler’s House, you can assume something about anyone in that hotel. Whoever named the FBI building must of not known Hoover’s legacy but still, that is some nasty stuff, right.

Can you imagine the fallout or the consequences if what I opine is correct? And it most likely is. That the head of the FBI was diddling little kids in secret and killed a President to keep that secret. Do you know what that would have done to the reputation of the FBI at that time and all the cases that they were involved in if that had come out. They would have to have freed everyone they ever arrested. No, killing Hoover and his longtime gaypal was the only solution.

(If) Diddy done didit, Diddy done done

The one thing that can be said is that there is the same panic as in the Epstein case, there is a ton of it. You can cut the fear with a leather whip. Unlike Epstein, who somehow died in prison by hanging himself with just a toothbrush and a toothpick, that is some crazy MaCgyver stuff, Diddy will probably make it to court. What comes out is going to be interesting. But the one thing the Feds are good at is instilling fear and having people turn on themselves. This is going to get interesting if you aren’t one of the people encompassed in this mess. The…. SAD… thing is …. Diddy, if he is guilty of what they say, isn’t the worst of them. There is worse.

COULD THIS BE THE END OF AN EMPIRE

Throughout history, there is a couple of things that always holds true,

  1. The sun rises on the east and sets on the west
  2. Hot dogs are way better with ketchup than mustard
  3. All empires are doomed to fail

Alright, we know that 2 of those are true, one is a matter of opinion. This blarticle is about the last one on the list. All empires are doomed to fail.

Let’s look at some empires and why they failed…

The Roman Empire. The Roman Empire was the post-Republican state of ancient Rome and is generally understood to mean the period and territory ruled by the Romans following Octavian’s assumption of sole rule under the Principate in 31 BC. It included territory in Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, and was ruled by emperors. The Roman Empire is one of the most iconic empires in history. Its expansion started from the Roman Republic, and it grew to encompass vast territories. The Roman Empire is not considered the largest in history despite how extremely long it was active. The Roman Empire lasted approximately 500 years, mostly due to its administrative capabilities, technological advancements, and a very effective military force. The reason the Roman Empire failed was due to Political unrest, civil unrest and economic factors such as taxation, inflation, disrupted trade routes and decline in agricultural productivity which translated for today would be the equivalent of no jobs or people weren’t willing to do that job anymore, most likely because they all wanted to be on social media, which for that time was the person putting on the plays.

The Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire, historically and colloquially known as the Turkish Empire, was an empire that controlled much of Southeast Europe, West Asia, and North Africa between the 14th and early 20th centuries. The empire also controlled a southeastern region of Central Europe from the 16th to the late 17th century. At the height of its power (16th–17th century), the Ottoman Empire spanned three continents, controlling much of Southeastern Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. The Ottoman Empire, an Islamic superpower, ruled much of the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe between the 14th and early 20th centuries. The reason the Ottoman Empire failed was due to Political unrest, civil unrest and economic factors. The buzz was that the Sultan wasn’t interested in running the empire and just wanted to hang out in his harem, according to social media accounts of the time.

The British Empire. The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom and its predecessor states. It began with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The British Empire and Mongol Empire were the largest and second-largest empire in history, respectively. At its greatest extent, early in the 20th century, the British Empire comprised nearly a quarter of the planet and an equal percentage of its population. The reasons the British Empire failed, I’ll give you three guesses, Political unrest (nobody really liked the Kings back then), civil unrest and economic factors. According to the social media of the day, these Kings were unjust and down right grumpy old douche bags. To be fair, they weren’t in power when the British Empire was actually a force, they had already established a parliament.

What all these empires have in common, besides wanting to conquer everything in sight, was that their failures were the result of the same circumstances. Political unrest, civil unrest, economic factors and the social media of the day played it’s role. While the younger generation might balk at my assertions, “they didn’t even have iphones back then”, they had other things like books and leaflets and while I understand the younger generations position when you tell me “what’s a book and you can’t even write on leafs” (I know it’s leaves but they don’t) it nevertheless holds true that social media, from gossip to todays high tech innovations, like blogs, always played a role in dismantling these empires. So what do you do?

The latest outcry was of a woman who posted Osama Bin Laden’s (OBL) excerpts to tik tok, (a social media website and how do you write on a clock?) that is seen as an afront to democracy. The woman seems to agree with Bin Laden and his lunacy and everyone older than 32, that would be 10 years before September 11th, 2001, are outraged. How can this woman do that and lets ban Tik Tok because we don’t agree with her. Well, there goes the first amendment and here comes the civil unrest, we already have the political unrest and all we need now is a good old fashion depression where the wealthy get richer and the poorer get poorer (To be completely honest, she might have not known who he was and thought he was some kind of musician “You down with OBL, no! not me”). I’m kidding, sort of, as to this lady’s posting OBL excerpts would lead to a nationwide unrest. And I’m not saying to “not” ban Tik Tok for any other reason other than the first amendment, like you feel that social media website is controlled by a foreign country that is purposely sending out misinformation and trying to create discord in a foreign adversary or they are using it to spy on America and Americans, that’s a legit reason to ban any website or social media if it’s true. The symptoms are there though, right? And I hear complaining about it but I don’t hear any solutions. If you think that technological social media sites are creating harm to a democracy, what are your solutions for the problem. Well, I have a story.

My son was doing good in school but I noticed that on the days that he spent more time on his Switch, a Nintendo game console, he would have more problems in school, so I put a time limit on when he could play and how long. 30 minutes on school days as long as he did his homework and did some extra studying and it would have to be off 1 hour prior to him going to bed and 2 hours on weekends as long as he exercised and went outside to play for at least double that time. Maybe it’s time that we do that to our younger adults, maybe all adults, and have these Social Media companies reduce the allotted time for social media to each person to one hour per day on the weekdays and 2 hours on the weekends. Sounds crazy, doesn’t it. That wouldn’t go for the people that actually make a living on social media and the companies would have to determine who they are by viewership or other means. Who knew that our adults need adult supervision. The government and the social media companies could figure out all the finer points on how to make it work and the adults can try to find ways around these rules but I think that some rules are needed. Or (do you like how I start my sentences with articles) we can keep things the way they are, keep bitching and complaining, not coming up with solutions. Watch as American ingenuity goes the way of the Dodo bird and we let this Empire, the American Empire, disintegrate. My bet, which I’m pretty sure I could find a place in Vegas that would take it, is that this Empire comes to a screeching halt in around 100 years. Some people say I’m pretty good at procastinating, wait, that’s wrong…. prognosticating. I was so close.

Also, talking with that woman that posted OBL’s excerpts to find out why she thinks that, might be a greater help than calling her all kind of numbnuts remarks to her face on social media. Obviously, she has her reasons and as misguided as I think they are, she might not. That’s where a good education comes into play, I think. Some civil discourse instead of civil unrest.

And here’s another crazy idea, to relieve political unrest, how about if we get rid of parties, now calm down…. I’m not talking birthdays, I’m talking political, you can still go to your all nighters and raves. How about if there wasn’t a D or an R in front of some ones name at a ballot and they just ran on their values and principles… Crazy huh… I better watch out for the butterfly net.

GAZA GAZA GONE

How many people feel like Nostradamus predicted this somehow…or that blind little old lady Baba Vanga. There’s people out there screaming end of times right next to the scalper screaming Taylor Swift tickets here. Maybe they’re both signs of some kind of apocalypse. All I know is that there isn’t many people too neutral in this conflict. You either believe that the Palestinians are right or you believe that Israel is right. As for me, I just don’t know enough to think that Hamas could remotely be right in this situation. Maybe there is some kind of argument for their actions, I can’t think of one that would justify their actions, but I’m sure there are some who believe they were justified. Well, I know that there are people that believe that, as I see all over the news… people that say this is Israel’s fault. I would like to hear their argument, one that advocates the murder of partygoers and women and children.

Hamas, labeled a terrorist organization by the State Department since October 8th, 1997, is a militant group that was founded by Palestinian imam and activist Ahmed Yassin. It emerged out of his Mujama al-Islamiya, which had been established in Gaza in 1973 as a religious charity involved with the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas became increasingly involved in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict by the late 1990s; it opposed the Israel–PLO Letters of Mutual Recognition as well as the Oslo Accords, which saw Hamas’ secular rival Fatah renounce “the use of terrorism and other acts of violence” and recognize Israel in pursuit of a two-state solution. Hamas continued to advocate Palestinian armed resistance. Hamas won the 2006 Palestinian legislative election, gaining a majority in the Palestinian Legislative Council, and subsequently took control of Gaza Strip from Fatah in 2007.

There is roughly 2 million Palestine people in the Gaza Strip and another 2 or so million Palestine people in the West Bank. There are almost 8 million Jewish people in Israel. What I have noticed in these marches to support Palestine is that they are calling out Israel for what they consider apartheid behavior. Their slogans say, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”. I don’t understand the slogan because I don’t know what they mean. Are they saying that Palestine should encompass all of what is now known as Israel? Or are they saying that Palestine is not free to do what they want? That they have to follow Israel’s laws? In either case, I don’t believe that Palestine isn’t free to do what they want in their own territory. The population numbers are significant because if Israel and Palestine were to merge into one country, the current number of Israelis outnumber the current number of Palestinians, which means that Israel would still be Israel in a democracy. The only problem being the Hamas faction which would not abide by a democratic election and still try to rule by violence, in my opinion. So, why and try to make it one state when in the end, you would still be outnumbered in a democratic election, unless your goal is to rule over Israelis, even though you are not the majority?

This conflict has deepened some divides in this country, those that are antisemites are going to be more so now and those that are islamophobic are also going to be more hardened. What I do notice is that social media just magnifies the problem. Everyone, from a no talent blog writer, present… thank you very much, to tik tok and X posters are going to have an opinion on the matter. Most are going to be wrong but have enough truth to make them seem credible, that’s in between their videos of how to get a flatter stomach while enlarging their glutes all in one easy step…. walking into the plastic surgeon’s office.

Another thing that is happening is that Fox News and CNN are agreeing, mostly, that Hamas is to blame for this incident, maybe it is the end of times. While there are young college students all over the U.S. that are protesting Israel and favoring Palestine, most adults feel that Hamas is the true criminal element. To be fair, if the adults had taken the side of the Palestinians the college students would immediately reverse course and be on Israel’s side. That’s youth for you. But this also shows that organizations like Hamas have taken to social media, mostly for recruiting purposes and for misinformation, to sway the young people to be on their side. They come up with a fictious story, like how they can’t collect their inheritance because the Zionists are holding their bank account prisoner and if you donate $1000 to them , they can get their riches and pay you back $100,000 they got from the Nigerian prince they just talked to. They spin how they are the victims and how the other side are the tormentors and give a version of history that makes them seem like they are the nice guys that wield machine guns and kill innocent people. Now, I’m talking about Hamas, not the Palestinians. I don’t think they are the same, but one never knows. It’s scary how young people can be so easily manipulated by terrorist organization. They can’t build a decent refrigerator but they can navigate through social media like if they were walking in the park…. with submachine guns.

What I do notice is that whenever a camera is on in Palestine, someone picks up a child and starts running somewhere, who knows where and who knows who’s child it is. They are great at theatrics and selling their portion of the unjustly persecuted. I don’t know if to believe they are telling the truth or if they are auditioning for the next San Andreas sequel. I think half the kids are eating a Big Mac while being carried into the hospital. They’re not but they also don’t look hurt. No blood or limbs missing. No head wounds. No apparent injury. Just some guy running with a kid, looking like they don’t want to miss the bus, which is on the other side of the hospital.

I’m just not buying the Hamas is just defending themselves bit. They refused to have a two State solution, which seems to mean that they want all the land to themselves and want all the Jewish Israeli’s to leave. I don’t know if that is even possible, for one, I don’t know if they would like what Israel has become, nice. Angry people need something to hate and if they had places like Tel Aviv, they might relax and die of peacefulness. It just wouldn’t work.

In my opinion, everyone should make their own, if this is actually classified as a war, then Israel should completely seize the Gaza strip and make it part of Israel. If you are going to kill 1300 people because you disagree with their religion or their politics or maybe their choice of music, who really knows, then their is always a price to pay for the instigator or the loser. If Israel loses, I’m sure Hamas would take over their land, so, if Hamas loses, I think it perfectly fitting that Israel be able to take away their biggest military asset, the Gaza Strip.

Well, I think I stated where I am at in this… I’m pro self-defense and anti dumb-dumb. Who is who, is up to you. I will say…. Shalom….

I guess the other thing we should consider is if these demonstrations were planned prior to the invasion. If the concerted effort in the U.S. and around the world to hold rallies to sway Americans and the world to turn on Israel was something that Hamas had planned prior to invading Israel. And if so, is there any legal repercussions here for anyone that knew in advance of an impending invasion of Israel that killed Americans, if they didn’t report to the proper authorities.

WHAT MAKES YOU HISPANIC?

Debates over who is Hispanic and who is not have often fueled conversations about identity among Americans who trace their heritage to Latin America or Spain. Most recently, the 2020 census has drawn attention to how Hispanic identity is defined and measured. The once-a-decade head count of all people living in the United States used a new approach to identify who is Hispanic and has provided fresh details about how Hispanics view their racial identity. This passage was written by the Pew Research Center.

The law is pretty clear as to whom may identify as Hispanic. You must have been born or derived your heritage from one of the many Spanish speaking countries around the world. This country is unique as it is compromised of a mix of a variety of races and ethnicities. People identify themselves as they see fit but you must have a connection with that identity, somewhere down your genealogy, as people have tried to identify as another race or ethnicity to gain some kind of recognition, for whatever reason. That leads me to the question: how far back can you go to identify as this other race and or ethnicity? I mean, they say that all life started near the river Nile, can I now say that I’m African American? or Middle Eastern? Probably not…. pretty much “no”. So how far back can you go? 100 years… 1000 years?

For conversations sake, lets discuss the plight of Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican people. Are they Hispanic? Spain lost Puerto Rico to the United States in the Spanish-American War. In the Treaty of Paris of 1898 that was signed by Spain and America. There were some stipulations that compromised the treaty. Some of them were that Spain had to cede control over Puerto Rico, Cuba, Guam and the Philippines and that Hawaii would become a territory of the United States, just like Puerto Rico. Since Puerto Rico was never a sovereign country of its own, always occupied by a foreign nation, what are the Puerto Rican people? At this point, could they be considered Hispanic? There are many great Puerto Rican people and it has produced many great stars… boxing in particular is one of the areas these warriors excelled in, but are they Hispanic? After essentially being under American control for 125 years and the people being born American citizens for all that time, wouldn’t they be American? I believe it’s an important question.

Now lets look at Guam, who was colonized by the Spanish from the 16th Century until the U.S. gained control in the same treaty. In this case, the people of Guam, called Chamorros, a Spanish word, do not identify as Hispanic. They have their own language but with many words being Spanish or derived from from Spanish. In a country where identity has become such a major issue, America, and there is a box to check every time you apply for something to make sure that there isn’t any discrimination, I think these questions are important. So how far back can you go? To identify yourself as something other than the country you were born in? What’s appropriate?

SHARED NEWS: Professor who made students remove shirts created ‘hostile environment’, investigation finds SHARED NEWS: As Reported by USA Today Story by Isabelle Butera

A Maryland professor who instructed female students to remove their shirts during class created a “hostile environment” and violated Title IX, according to an investigation by the U.S. Department of Education.

Investigators said the instructor at the Takoma/Silver Spring campus of Montgomery College in Maryland required female students to remove their shirts and wear only their sports bras to demonstrate a “medical assessment.” Some students put on lab coats for modesty and the professor instructed the students to remove them. He then commented on the students’ breasts, according to a letter from the Office of Civil Rights to the college. 

Manny’s Blog: So, white students, and rightfully so, complain about this harassment and get an investigation from the government. That’s good and also interesting.

THE SUPREME COURT WRITES THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO WRITE GAY

The Supreme Court has released a litany of litigious liabilities. It has ruled on affirmative action, student loan relief, sabbath’s, State power over federal elections and now the mysterious case of don’t write gay (if you don’t want to) in a first amendment challenge to Colorado’s anti-discrimination laws. Of all the cases, this case is the most troubling for me because I don’t have the capacity to understand it. The other cases have some basis under the law but this one, in my opinion, has a very murky connection to the first amendment. Leeettt’s review….

A Colorado web designer challenged the State’s anti-discrimination laws by stating that her religious beliefs would not allow her to write “gay stuff” for wedding websites, that she could make the website as long as it doesn’t have words that promote same sex marriages. The web designer brought the suit to the court only on the sole basis of same-sex marriages and not on any other applicable religious grounds, like I can’t write for Jewish or Muslim religious ceremonies or I can’t write for atheists. That she singled out the LGBTQIA to Z but no S community and leaves every other aspect of the religion out of it, is, on its face, discriminatory. In Christianity, you believe in Christ to reach the kingdom of heaven and if you don’t then you are departing from the religion’s core belief, so would this web designer design and write for a bar mitzsvah? Wicca gatherings? Ramadan? Well, that is promoting different beliefs from her Christian beliefs, isn’t it? It goes against the Christian core beliefs but her lawsuit didn’t mention this aspect because I’m assuming she wouldn’t have a problem with it. I’m surprised that this topic didn’t come up in the hearing or wasn’t brought up by the defendants of the anti-discrimination laws. To state that I will not serve gay people on a religious belief but will serve other people that, by all accounts, are sinning the same under the Christian doctrine by not believing in Christ or following his teachings, is simply singling out a particular aspect of a religion to further your discriminatory behavior. If your only problem is with gay people and not anyone else that doesn’t conform to your religion, then you are just using religion as an excuse for your bigotry.

Religion, if it does anything, teaches compassion and understanding. It also says that the Lord would be the arbiter of any sins committed, not web designers. It also states that you must treat all people the way you would like to be treated and that no person is absent of sin. To pick and choose which passage of a religious doctrine applies or you want to follow and which one doesn’t or don’t have to follow is like allowing the government to choose which laws they will enforce and which ones they won’t dependent on demographics and/or socioeconomics and/or any other factor. If you are going to rule on Religious beliefs then you must rule on what the whole doctrine says, not just the parts you like. Just like the government must rule on the entirety of the law not just the laws they like.

Golden Rule, precept in the Gospel of Matthew (7:12): “In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you. . . .” This rule of conduct is a summary of the Christian’s duty to his neighbor and states a fundamental ethical principle

I hope this makes sense….

And please stop attacking my Christian religion with your crazy interpretations… A lot like the Title VII, everyone is welcome in the Christian faith without bias to any race, color, religion, sex, sexual preference and national origin. Only God reserves the right to judge.
