Month: April 2021

Listening and watching the race bait crowd, the Left, the media, pro athletes and the Hollywood weirdos, it is my understanding that being a white male is now the most dangerous and despicable thing anyone could possibly be. It is now up to those of us who were born into such despicableness to admit how awful we are, apologize for how privileged we are, and as if that isn’t enough, we must find ways to turn over our many privileges to those of color who, as I understand the narrative, have no privileges, no opportunities, and really no future at all. This lack of privilege and opportunity are why, on a daily basis, we see so much looting, fighting, killing and burning of buildings. Do I have this right? Do I understand today’s race narrative? Have I missed anything?

I won’t spend time today providing examples of other white male privileges, instead I’ll just focus on my own. Before I do though, I’d like to point out that being privileged is in the eye of the beholder. Is it not? What I might think is privileged may be much different than what you think is privileged. And therein lies the problem with this entire narrative. The “white” bum (oops sorry, the homeless) living on the sidewalk in San Francisco more than likely thinks that the black guy who just passed him wearing $150 tennis shoes is a privileged individual. In fact, anyone who actually walked past him wearing shoes period is better off than he, right? Right. I happen to think Mr. Racist himself, LeBron James is much more privileged than I. He has more money, better clothes, drives better cars and has a nicer house than I do. Hell, make that nicer “houses”. Do I think he should give me some of that? NO, I am 5’6” and can’t make a free-throw to save my white ass. Do you see what I mean about privilege being in the eye of the beholder or should I go on? The truth of the matter is, that anyone who thinks they should have something that someone else has is either too damn lazy to work for it or… there is no or, that’s the answer.

My father, like many of us growing up, had several jobs over the years. He was a rancher, a truck driver, a heavy equipment operator and in the end, a logger and self employed jack-of-all-trades. I was born in a small two bedroom home. I had two older brothers and one sister who, thank God is still alive and kickin’! Mom, who we lost when I was 14 years old to cancer, cooked pancakes on a wood stove and dried her clothes on a clothesline in the backyard. You know, when it wasn’t raining. The old man, at that time owned several logging trucks and Cats (as in Caterpillars, not the insects), the ones with tracks and a winch, the yellow ones. LOL. Grandpa owned and operated a used furniture store and a gas station. He had a small one bedroom apartment located at the end of the furniture store. It was pretty cool. You could step outside of our house, into the side door of the furniture store, walk all the way down the store and right into grandpa’s apartment. Even better, if you kept going, you could open a door inside the apartment and step into the gas station garage, which as a young boy, I thought was pretty cool. The garage had one of those pits in it where you drove the car over it and went down under into the pit to work on it. No lift. Grandpa used to keep his saddle from back in the day sitting on a sawhorse. I would spend hours sitting on the saddle with my toy six shooters and cowboy hat on pretending to tame the Wild Wild West. Sorry, childhood memories are popping up all over the place.

We got our eggs from the ducks and chickens we raised, got our pork from the hogs we kept and my brothers rarely allowed us to run out of venison.

The California flood of 1964 took everything the old man had and wiped it away. There were saw mills on each side of our property. You can imagine what the logs did to our home, the furniture store, gas station and the logging trucks that were all parked nicely in a row at the far end of the lot. When we went back to assess the damage, there was six feet of mud inside our house. We lost everything, including all the family photos and grandpa’s saddle too which as a 10 year old the saddle and my bike were the biggest losses… The one thing I’ll never forget was how my father reacted to all of this. He never once shed a tear, not in front of me anyway. In front of us he was strong and made us all feel like everything was going to be just fine. And it was.

Mom and I lived in a Red Cross house for the next several months while the old man regained his footing. He went to the Bay Area to work. Brothers and sisters spread out working on their own.

Our white privilege didn’t come easy and was taken away during one bad, very bad rainy week. I remember the mayo sandwiches, the second-hand shoes that the old man bought for me from the pawn shop in Oakland and the baseball mitt that Mom purchased for me from her tip jar money, hard earned from cutting hair. All of those things ensured that I would never feel underprivileged. Eventually, Dad returned and moved Ma and me to Yreka, California where he managed to get a job operating a crane. We lived in a one bedroom trailer house. After Mom got sick, Dad took her to Hayward, California for cancer treatment at Stanford, I finished the 8th grade on my own in Yreka. I wasn’t really alone though, the old man had every damn neighbor in the trailer park looking after me. After school let out, I hopped on a Greyhound bus to meet up with the rest of the family in Hayward. I had a layover at the bus station in San Francisco at 4 in the morning. Not a place I would recommend anyone being, ever. To this day, I cuss the family for not picking me up there. Talk about a country boy out of water… Good Lord. Mom died in 1969. Being the baby in the family and other significant life events resulted in an extremely close relationship between my mother and me. She was so sick in the end I remember praying for God to take her so she’d no longer be in so much pain… It was an awful year.

My guess is that everyone has their own life experiences that make swallowing this white privilege bullshit simply unacceptable. So if they are waiting for me to apologize for my whiteness they are going to be waiting a very long, long time. It simply ain’t gonna happen.

I am proud of my family and proud of myself. I’ve worked very hard all of my life and what I have, I have. I earned it and I’ll be keeping it. Thank you very much!

Have a good rest of your weekend friends. And if you’re white, black, brown or purple stay that way. Individualism is a beautiful thing!

I don’t know about the rest of you but this week reminded me of last week and the week before that and you see where I’m going? Groundhog “year”. One pitiful political nightmare after another that won’t end as long as these Leftist ass-hats are not held accountable for their actions.

I, like so many others, I suspect, am growing weary of the day to day nonsense. The things we are allowing to happen in this country are so in your face wrong it’s becoming very difficult to remain civil.

I was sharing with my wife this week that Hunter Biden’s book didn’t even sell 15,000 copies on opening week. She said, half the country doesn’t even know what day it is, much less who Hunter Biden is. This is hard to believe right? Well she is usually right so I’m going to fall on the safe side and agree with her. This is one of those weeks where I question myself. I’m wondering if these disengaged people have it figured out. I guess they just live their lives in blind blissfulness. They don’t vote, they don’t know who their mayor or their Governor is much less the President. You know these people. They are the same ones that Jesse Waters used to interview in his Man On The Street segments from the Bill O’Reilly show. He would show them a picture of Jimmy Carter and ask if they knew who it was. “Um, is it the guy who wore those sweaters on that kid show?” All while they giggle and adjust their nose ring…

I have to apologize because I just don’t seem to have the energy this week to hash out all of the nonsense deep state BS that occurred. My guess is that you’re okay with that because you are as tired and sick of it all as I am.

We truly are living in a groundhog movie right? Except things aren’t really staying the same, they are getting worse. I slammed Tired Brain (it’s what I do) this week when he referred to the winner of this year’s Masters golf tournament as “A Japanese boy.” If the reference itself wasn’t bad enough, the idiot said it to the Japanese Prime Minister for God’s sake. Talk about a National embarrassment. Oops, I just got done saying I didn’t have the energy to talk about the nonsense. Sorry, the energy must be coming back.

Everything President Trump warned us about is coming true. He said Tired Brain would stop the Keystone pipeline and he did. He said the Left would go all-in on the Green New Deal, they are. He said they’d pack the Supreme Court, they’re working on it as we speak. He said they’d come after our 2nd Amendment, they are. By the way, what’s up with all the gun violence lately? It’s almost as if the Left had these people lined up to perform these evil acts so to push more gun laws on us. Nah, now I’m just being stupid… He said they’d put America last and you guessed it, they most certainly are (have ya looked at the border lately?) He bragged about being the first President in decades not to start a new war. He was right. In just under 90 days in office, Tried Brain has managed to pick fights with Russia and China who both have zero respect for and both will run right over this weak old man. Remember the claim that Russia was targeting our troops in the Middle East and because Trump was pals with Russia he wasn’t doing anything about it? Remember Trump responded to this as “fake news?” Well guess what, he was right about that too. I remember during one of his press conferences one of these pretend reporters was pissing and moaning about something the President said (hard to remember all the specifics because that was another groundhog thing) and the President responded to the reporter by saying “I was right, I’m right a lot by the way.” I won’t speak for you but oh how I miss those days. Nobody put these state run media gnats in their place better than President Trump.

We would think it and the President would say it. Good times. Fast forward to today we have an installed guy in the White House who actually thinks he was elected by the people. Really? What people? “You know, those people…”

If I had to pick out one story this week that bothered me the most, it would have to be the Ashley Babbitt story. The DOJ announced this week that they would not be pressing charges against the person (Capitol Police officer) who shot and killed her. This announcement came at the very time when a white police officer accidentally shot and killed a black man. That man was resisting arrest because he had an outstanding warrant and a gun in his car. The officer was arrested and being charged with murder. Back to Ms. Babbitt, no past criminal record (although she was white and did wear a red hat which as you know in today’s world is criminal), served our country honorably in the military, unarmed at the Capitol expressing her First Amendment right. While George Floyd’s family received a 27M settlement, Ms. Babbitt’s family has to hire attorneys to seek justice. Speaking of George Floyd, you know him, he was the drugged out dude passing counterfeit money. He was the guy who held a gun at his girlfriend or wife or baby mama’s unborn child. That trial will be wrapping up soon and believe me, no matter what the jury decides all hell will break loose. More buildings will burn, more looting will occur, more people will get hurt and the Left will call for more gun restrictions… groundhog day continues.

As for Ms. Babbitt, may she RIP and may her family receive the justice they deserve. The truth will come out, it may very well be long after I am gone but in the end, the truth always comes out. Well, almost always.

Okay friends, another DG weekly rant has come to an end. I’ve nearly awaken myself out of the stupor I was in when I started this week’s rant. Thanks for putting up with me. Let us fight on!

Wishing y’all a wonderful weekend and a great week ahead. I’d say it can’t get any worse but I promised you long ago I’d always be truthful… “When the times get tough, the tough get going”

When discussing the state of our union with the 18,000 plus twitter followers that I have, this is the question I hear the most. “What do we do?”’

As a group, we nearly all agree the state of the union is a mess. We nearly all agree that the election was rigged and no one that I know believes Mr. Tired Brain Biden got anywhere near 81 million votes. Everyone within my group knows, and we talk about it, complain about it, point out the obvious missteps and downright dirty dealings of this installed Administration. They know the America that we grew up in, the one that the founders laid out for us in the Constitution cannot stand under this type of communist rule.

Folks are so tired of the nonsense, so fearful for the future of the country, fearful for their families, their grandkids and the Nation herself. These are good and caring people. I see it in their comments and I feel it between the lines they write. The China virus is the last thing they fear, it is the Government they fear the most and rightfully so.

The Government with the continued help from the state run media has lied so often and done things so un-American to everyday working class Americans that the distrust is at an all time high. Those Americans who are not among the “woke” crowd, those who truly are not interested in the color of one’s skin, those who believe in their God given rights, the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Equal Justice For All are simply outraged and quite honestly, feel morally defeated as the fabric of the Nation is torn to shreds.

Having just come off of four years with a President who not just by all appearances put America first but took direct actions putting her first and by a President who brought into clear view the lies and deceit of the political class, the global evil doers and certainly the fake news media, the people are literary aghast at what they see happening today. Every headline is filled with lies and deceit. The truth has become nearly impossible to find and with so much distrust, when you hear it, you don’t know whether to believe it. Perhaps that is the problem. Nobody knows what to believe anymore.

There are groups out there who honestly believe that the President will be coming back before the year is over. There are states calling for complete election audits. Some reports are just as we assumed, rotten to the core filled with fraud. That is, if you believe these reports. States are agreeing to remove the deceased from their voter rolls which is great but astounding they had to be forced to do so. Georgia has installed new voter rules for up-coming elections. That’s great. However, remember that this is one of the states who refused to acknowledge that when they counted their election results, fraud was everywhere. All of this is encouraging but it’s nearly impossible to believe the stolen election will be overturned when the Left is in control. The courts have turned their backs on the people, the media won’t investigate on behalf of the people and Congress, short of a few, is full of money grabbing, self interest puppets who put themselves first and the Nation last. These elected officials are millionaires who all have an eye and a step toward their next election; all while pretending to care what the people think or want. I am telling you what you already know and as I type away I know what you’re wanting to say, “What do we do?”

Some say “be patient, trust the plan” others say, like me, “what plan?” I have one follower who thinks there is no need to hit the streets. He thinks we all should simply refuse to pay another penny in taxes until Washington listens. Not a bad idea. Who goes first and how many have the courage to follow? Some say we need to hit the streets just as the Leftists do. Others say that is exactly what the Left wants us to do. Look what happened the last time we did that. We were accused of insurrection. A fence was erected around the capitol and troops were brought in to keep the people out. Both are still in effect to this day. You know the troops I am talking about, right, the ones that are forced to sleep on the concrete garage floors. Did the Government at least give them the same space-blankets the illegals have? The Left and the media played up the events of January 6th as if the white Nationals and all their guns attempted to take down the Government. This, while reality is slowly dripping out that no guns were found and those that entered the capital were not a part of the group that was in Washington that day to demand the Government count the legal votes and elect the rightful winner. Many believe it was the Left themselves who played a role in the breach of the Capitol. Many are asking why we still don’t know who murdered Ms. Babbitt. Why did the family of a drugged-out, wife-beating counterfeiter receive a 27 million dollar settlement while the family of a woman who served her country and stood up for her President by expressing her right to free speech has to hire a private attorney to fight the Government? A government who is accusing her of being some evil hater of America? It’s not as though she’s a member of ANTIFA or BLM or something. Unlike drugged out George Floyd, Ashley was actually murdered.

It’s things just like this that has so many people up in arms and this is just one story… There are many just like it. Y’all hear about the guy who shot up an entire family earlier this week in South Carolina? Of course you haven’t, he was a black football player… And guess what, in a sane and just world I wouldn’t have had to use the word “black” in front of football player would I. The entire “race” narrative is so out of control it makes people want to scream.

As for “what do we do”, I don’t pretend to have the answer. I am doing all that I know how to do. I am expressing my free speech while I can by talking about this mess that we find ourselves in and hoping it at least keeps the conversation going. The Left want nothing more than for us to forgive and forget. What I am certain of is that tweeting and writing letters isn’t going to get the job done and based on the 2020 election the idea that we can right the wrongs at the ballot box is out the window. Cleaning up the voter rolls, stopping ballot harvesting, voting by mail and ensuring honest counting in the future is all well and good. It doesn’t change the fact we’ve had an election that was rigged giving us an installed President who doesn’t love America and who doesn’t have the brain capacity to change his own underwear and it doesn’t do a thing about imprisoning those who played a role in this evil take over.

Now and finally, and again the broken record: I see no way around this mess without mass peaceful protests in the streets of every state in the union including the well guarded US capitol. Yes there will be violence, blood, sweat and tears. Yes people will die, yes the media will be against us, yes lies will be told. We need our own William Wallace (a famous Scottish rebel who led the uprising against the English) to inspire and lead us. Please don’t misunderstand me, I do not advocate violence, I hate it. Peaceful protesting is what I am suggesting. I just know however these evil bastards on the Left will not allow that. They will do everything in their power to turn peaceful into terror. As the saying doesn’t go, “what is good for the goose is not good for the gander.”

As for the tax revolt idea that I mentioned above; while it has merit and does send a strong message, my fear is that it will only allow the Government to pick us off one at a time which will eventually lead to the very protests I speak of anyway.

So there you have it. Just how upset are we? Do we stand and fight for what is rightfully ours or do we sit idling by and moan? I fear the later. They’re coming (have been for years) for our guns. Once that is accomplished you can turn off the lights because the party’s over.

Now that I’ve cheered you up, I send my most sincere wishes to you and your loved ones for a wonderful week ahead. May you be safe, healthy and find ways to smile. I do every week by rolling around the floor with the grandkids and being thankful for my wife who takes such good care of me.

PS: We are still unpacking boxes. Does anyone know where I put the hummingbird food? And for the record, I am seeking financing to build my workbench in the garage. Plywood is now $70 a sheet. Are we having fun yet? LOL

Hello friends and Happy belated Easter. I sincerely hope each of you had a wonderful day with those who are important to you. My wife and I spent the day and several days prior moving into a new home. Same area but a home we can be comfortable in for quite some time! “I hope”. Moving, tops the list of the things I find no joy in, right next to going to the dentist and that’s putting it lightly. Enough of me though. I feel grateful for having the ability to live where I want and having the ability to move when I want. For now…

These Leftist “woke” idiots just keep pushing and pushing, don’t they? They don’t even try to hide it. It’s in your face all the time. I keep wondering when and if the people who have a lick of common sense are going to say “enough” and put a stop to all of this stupid Leftist, Communist insane nonsense.

Every week it’s something else. This past week it was all about boycotting. The MLB claimed their fake outrage over the voter law changes in Georgia which like everything else is a big joke. Tired Brain called the changes an outrage saying it made Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle. Of course everyone on the planet has been trying to figure out who the hell Jim Eagle is… Another made up “thing” Joe tired brain style. Voter suppression, voter suppression! I will never understand how requiring an ID to vote has been turned into voter suppression. These ass-hats think so little of the American people’s ability to think. In the very same week that they talked about voter suppression, they talked about a vaccine passport. They know damn well that receiving the vaccine requires an ID, but asking for an ID to vote is suppression. If that’s true (it certainly is not) then wouldn’t that mean that they are suppressing the people’s ability to get the vaccine? To insinuate Black and Hispanic people cannot get an ID to vote is just insulting. How any of these groups vote for these insane a-holes continues to remain a mystery to me. Same goes with the Jewish-American people who continually vote Democrat. How stupid can someone be? The Democrats do nothing but work overtime to harm Israel yet, just as the Black and Hispanic majorities do, they vote for these idiot Dems.

The new Georgia voting laws are actually less restrictive than many of the Blue states throughout the country. In fact, they are far less restrictive than those laws in the State of Delaware. You know, the state Joe Tired Brian calls home.

As for the MLB threatening to move the All Star game out of Atlanta because of the law, I say don’t let the door kick you in the ass. I mean, seriously? Play baseball and keep your trap shut already. Millions of Americans are all but done with professional sports anyway. Most have simply had enough of these billionaire leagues all of which receive millions in subsidy dollars from the taxpayers. It’s no different than Planned Parenthood. We fill their bank accounts with millions of taxpayer dollars and they turn around and funnel money back into the Leftist Democrat campaigns. It is the same with big tech, big banks and why? So these idiots on the Left can raise their corporate tax rate? Again, why do people vote for these Leftist commies? They help no one accept themselves and for Christ sake, it’s 2021, we’ve watched it for decades upon decades. I must be the stupid one because I just don’t get it.

The other absolutely communist move this past week was Facebook, Youtube and ten other Leftist “woke” morons banning the Lara Trump interview of President Trump. Not only banning the interview but Facebook came out and said they were banning his voice from their platform. Really? These ass-wipes allow terrorists on their site calling for beheadings of Americans, they allow China to post any damn thing they want but we can’t hear from a former President of the United States? I’ve never been a Facebook guy. For me, there has always been something about it that didn’t seem safe or right. I get the feeling that I am the only one on the planet without a Facebook account. We wanted to sell our sofa before we moved and our kids said “post it on Facebook Marketplace”. The little HOA where we live has a website. That site directs you to get all Association news, up-dates and documents, it’s all on Facebook. Why? It’s a big outfit, a big communist outfit who isn’t at all interested in free speech. They are a private company and can do what they want I guess. My question is this: Why would you want to associate yourself with a company who decides what you can, what you cannot say, and who decides that a former and well-loved (by millions) American President is not allowed to communicate? Come on people. Stick it to these commie bastards. I get that you may be fearful of marching in the streets but at least take a stand somewhere on something!

Ban my President’s voice? Really? They just push and push… Coke wants us to stop being so White, Bank of America won’t let you use their services to buy a gun, airlines talking about having to have a vaccine certificate to fly. White people are killing Asian people. ALL WRONG. That narrative fell apart pretty quickly, didn’t it. Almost the only way that any story is going to stay in the news now is that it either has to be something bad that a white person did or some harm that came upon a person of “color”. This is pure racist, in your face nonsense.

I know I am like a broken record but honestly, when is enough going to be enough? We have all this wokeness going on and yet, at the same time, we have a guy living in the white house that is a national disgrace. Hell, the whole world is laughing at this tired brain clown show. And to top it all off, the media is working overtime to convince all of us he has a 65-70% approval rating… another “really?”

Okay, okay, I’m done with this week’s DG rant. I’ll finish the way I started, Happy Easter friends, God Bless y’all and God please, please bless these United States of America! We need your help like never before. Well, more like, we need your help “like always.”
