You Can’t Be Serious

Hello family and friends. I hope this week’s DG rant finds y’all doing well, healthy and finding your way through all the craziness that appears to be the norm in this country. My guess is that you are a lot smarter than I because you spend far less time listening to the nonsense going on around you and far more time living your lives and enjoying family & friends. There is certainly a case to be made for that. Setting the nonsense aside that is.

At the end of each week, I typically write about event(s) which occurred during the week that hit me the hardest. Sometimes the event is the top news story of the week and sometimes it’s not. It is however always the thing or things that grind at me the most because, you know, it’s all about me. LOL

This week it’s a compilation of everything. Sometimes I get so fed up I want to throw in the towel and just say screw it. Someone online this week tweeted “don’t forget to take a break from social media to clear your head.” Not bad advice. I actually thought he was talking to me directly. Did I take the advice? Of course not. I’ve never pretended to be the sharpest tool in the shed.

Now to the point of the title “you can’t be serious.” Every week without fail it is just one moronic thing after another. It’s as though the Left is on a full court press to inundate us with pure insanity. Are these freaking weirdos ever going to run out of craziness and more importantly are we as a Nation ever going to take a stand against it?

This week, we had General Milley, Chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff testify in front of Congress. During his opening remarks he said he looks forward to understanding white rage and feels it is a serious problem. While I will admit I have little command over the English language, what exactly did he say? How do you admit you don’t know what something is and in the same sentence say it’s a problem? Tucker Carlson called the General a pig, a stupid one at that. “How dare he say such a thing to a General who has served his country honorably” asks every woke Leftist in the country. Again I say, “you can’t be serious.” What on earth is a General, the damn chairman of the joint chiefs doing talking about white rage and how the military must address this very important issue? An issue he himself openly admits he doesn’t understand. I don’t know about you but I want my Generals disinterested in politics and solely focused on the defense of the Nation. The fact of the matter is, I want our Generals to be kick ass sons-a-bitches so that I have confidence when and if the shit hits the fan we are going to be safe from evil. We don’t spend more money than the rest of the countries combined on our military to be “woke”. We spend it to be safe, powerful and intimidating. It keeps the bullies at bay. Yet here we are, the top General spending time trying to understand white rage which as far as I can tell is just another made up term by the Left to keep the division of the country moving along toward ruin.

Then I read about how we’ve erected two statues of George Floyd. Seriously? The division agenda continues, full court press toward crazy. We spent nearly all of 2020 watching the real terrorist (BLM/ANTIFA) deface and tear down statues only to have a statue erected of a want-to-be porn star/drug addict who stuck the barrel of his illegal gun in the belly of a pregnant woman. And we allowed this during the same week it was announced the statue of Teddy Roosevelt is being removed, I guess, because he was white and had an Indian and African standing next to him? Whatever floats your boat huh? Good grief and whatever. All statues have value and point to a history of the country. For me and I suspect many others, these Floyd statues will always represent a time when America fell off the turnip truck. The guy represents everything no one should ever want to be. Let us not forget him… Dumb. All I know is that it’s a good thing the cop that arrested Floyd was white otherwise we wouldn’t know who George Floyd is. The racist narrative continues. By the way, the white officer received 22.5 years in prison. Seems fair…

After six plus months Kami, the phony was finally shamed into visiting the border which as you know wasn’t really visiting the border. She was hundreds of miles away from the actual border but hey, at least she was in a border state right? Let’s be fair. She walks up to the microphone where she’s asked “why haven’t you been to the border before now?” With that disgusting smile, her FU look on her face and her index finger pointing at the reporter she replies “First, I’ve been to the border many times.” And then proceeds to say “As you know, we inherited a very bad situation at the border.” What makes me sick about this is not what she said, although nothing but lies, it’s that we have so many complete fools in this country that actually believe her and worse, just love her to death. All 13 of them. This is the woman who will be in the history books as being the first black/Asian/Women Vice President. You can’t be serious. Nope, it’s true. Many in the country believe she’ll replace Tired Brain before the end of his term. Think about that and then tell me how you’re sleeping at night. #Nightmare

God Bless these folks who took the time to greet the phony as she arrived.

Make-A-Wish announces it will only be granting wishes for kids who have been vaccinated. Somebody, anybody, please tell me this story isn’t true. Lie to me if you have to, I can’t handle this one. I have supported Make-A-Wish for nearly 40 years because I have personally seen the good things they do. It is beyond my ability to picture an organization forgoing the wish of a child because they are under the Leftist Fauci spell. This is literally putting politics over the well being of our children in need. It makes me sick to my stomach and that’s putting it mildly. “You can’t be serious.”

Make-A-Wish Foundation Announces They Will Only Help Fully Vaccinated Children

Rudy has been disbarred yet the porn lawyer is good to go. You must have an ID to get the vaccine but not to vote. The American pipeline is shut down but the Russian one is approved. Unarmed civilians who didn’t hurt anyone are being held without bail, no court date in solitary confinement while ANTIFA and BLM burn down cities, kill, loot, and ruin thousands of lives. The White House, the DOJ, The FBI and now the military proclaim white supremacy is the number one domestic threat but nobody knows who these supremacists are or what they’ve done. Hunter Biden uses the N word and then the yellow word and the media is silent. Biden meets with Putin and two days later he rescinded military assistance to Ukraine. Media is silent. Gas, meat, lumber, housing prices spiking, the media is silent and the Left celebrates what? No mean Trump tweets. The United States is so bad, so awful, so racist, that no one ever leaves and our border is stuffed full of others wanting in. There are millions of job openings throughout the country yet the Government continues to pay people to stay home. I can do this all day long… “you can’t be serious.”

Another one of these memes that would be funny if not so damn true…

Free speech – So you’re on the telephone talking to a neighbor who is a die hard liberal. You’re in a heated debate about the election. You claim the election was rigged and stolen. The neighbors’ only response is that Trump was bad. You begin to point out all the good things Trump did for the country and suddenly the AT&T operator comes on to the line and tells you, you are suspended from using the phone for 12 hours for saying the election was rigged and that Trump did good things. Before hanging up the operator tells you, “if we hear you say these things again your telephone service will be canceled.” This is what Twitter and Facebook actually do every day to thousands upon thousands of conservatives.

Ok, enough is enough for one week friends. What we are witnessing right now in this country is beyond anything I could have ever dreamed up. Let us hope and pray the ole Red, White and Blue can withstand all the nonsense and prevail in the end. It’s going to be touch and go that’s for sure. Did you hear some are now calling for a different flag, evidently the one we have is just too outdated for today’s woke society… the “you can’t be serious” is serious.

Enjoy the Trump rally tonight and find a way to have a great week ahead. I’ll talk to y’all next week as “we” celebrate the birth of our Nation on the 4th. Get them flags out!!

Can’t They Hear Themselves?

While I disagree on nearly everything, I do my best to be reasonable and try to understand Liberal thinking. You know, they are not the only ones who want everyone to have good and affordable healthcare. Everyone wants that. The disagreement lies in how we get there.

Everyone wants clean water and fresh air. We all cherish our wildlife, our forests and great oceans. How we ensure that these things are sustained is where we disagree. World peace? Of course. Equality for all? Certainly.

What I find so frustrating is how they don’t seem to have the ability or perhaps the desire to question this Government. I guess that’s not fair. They questioned the Government on nearly everything when President Trump was in office. However, no questions asked when it came to Obama or now Biden. This is where they lose me.

How can they sit silently about the 400 fellow Americans who protested on January 6th? How can they be okay with the death and destruction by BLM and Antifia but unyielding toward those who marched on the Capitol to have their voices heard? They should not have stormed the Capitol. No one disputes that. Many question, like me, who really did that anyway. However, despite what they have had drilled into their head by the media and the Democrat party, they harmed no one. A few windows were broken, some furniture was tossed around and evidently a laptop stolen but there were no fires, no weapons, no looting and NO killing. Unlike what has occurred and continues to occur with BLM and ANTIFA, this really was a peaceful protest. Yet these protesters, these fellow Americans are sitting in jail, reportedly in solitary confinement with no charges being filed against them, no lawyers, no due process, and their right to a speedy trial has been unlawfully withheld. I ask, what reasonable person, what kind of person who claims to believe in equality, healthcare for all and feels that climate change is the most important issue of our time can also ignore this injustice being perpetrated right in front of their own eyes?

How can they possibly support the killing of police officers, the tearing down of statues, the complete destruction of so many small businesses, burning, looting and killings and then turn your heads away from the Americans who simply wanted their Government to hear them.

Joe Biden, in his press conference following his meeting with the Russian President Putin said that the protesters (he called them rioters) killed an officer. That is a bold faced, proven lie. How can Liberals support this man? Why do they support someone like this over their fellow citizens? I’ll never understand it.

There was no insurrection. This is a Liberal Democrat narrative being supported by a Liberal media who have been proven many times over to lie. Trump didn’t collude with Russia, it’s been proven. Trump didn’t bribe Ukraine, it’s been proven. Trump didn’t order the clearing of Lafayette Park so that he could walk to the church, it’s been proven. Trump was right, the virus came from a lab in China. It is a China virus. Hillary really did pay for the fake Russia hoax.

Biden really did threaten Ukraine if they didn’t fire the prosecutor who was prosecuting the company his son was affiliated with. Hydroxychloroquine really is safe and has been proven to increase the survival rates by 200% of those who contracted the virus. It’s been proven.

The biggest domestic threat to our country is NOT white supremacist groups. Can they name these groups? Can they list the evil deeds they have committed? Of course they can’t, because they don’t exist. Yet this Government that they (the liberal) blindly support and the same media that they watch night after night says it’s so and therefore it must be, right? Wrong, damn it. WRONG. Why don’t they change the channel, have an independent mind, take a chance to view other sources of information. Just what do they have to lose?

What would they be thinking if the tables were turned? What if Biden was accused of colluding with the Russians. I mean he just gave the Russians the ability to build a fuel pipeline while at the very same time closed down the one in America. He has said that the transportation of oil via a pipeline is the safest way yet he killed thousands of American jobs and caused the increase of fuel prices by closing ours down. Why? Why do they support this?

Has their hatred of President Trump removed any ability to see clearly? Have they ever seen clearly? Were lower fuel prices really so bad that they caused them to hate President Trump? Is controlling our border so offensive to them that it caused this hate? Do they seriously blame him for the virus that came from China? Can they even hear themselves? Do they honestly believe a thin layer of paper made in China covering their face has protected them from catching a virus with particles so small they cannot be seen without great magnification? Do you really believe climate change is the number one threat to our world? And if they do, do they honestly believe taxing Americans to death will solve the problem? Do they truly think it will matter what we do when at the same time other countries, large countries like China don’t care. They keep polluting at high levels and laugh at us while they gladly take our tax dollars to pretend they will join in the global climate fight. But that’s all they do. The whole thing is a hoax making the climate global elite richer and richer. How blind does one have to be not to see this?

Dear Liberal, do you think we owe it to our homeless and our veterans to feed and house them before we do the same for non-American citizens? It’s not a trick question. I am trying to understand your thinking. And don’t answer the question by saying they all should have these basic needs. That’s avoiding the question. It’s not an answer. If that question is too difficult for you let me ask you this; “Are you ok with Hunter Biden using the N word?” A better question is; “Did you know Hunter Biden uses the N word?” I suspect not…

Why can’t these people look beyond the norm, change the channel and go into all things with an open and conscious mind. Do they not have any common sense? Politicians do not make the Liberal their priority, they make themselves the priority. The more we give, the more they take. Any normal person look’s at each issue and ask their common sense self, your life experienced self, why are they doing this or that, why are they saying this or that? Ronald Reagan once said about foreign nations “trust but verify”. Wise words back then. Today however in my mind it’s a

little different. Today it’s “don’t trust and try to verify.”

If American’s, no matter what side of the fence they stand on only spew the narrative of the nightly news or a corrupt selfish power grabbing Government then they become a part of the problem and worse, those things they hold dear, the things they feel are important will remain out of reach. We had a President who made promises and kept them. Now we have a guy who doesn’t even know he’s alive and our back-up is worse and her back-up is even worse than her. None of these three represent the America I grew up in nor the one I want my grand-kids to grow up. It is so disheartening to know so many of our fellow American’s can’t or refuse see what is happening. Someone said “This isn’t your dad’s Democrat Party” To whoever that was I say “You ain’t kiddin”

And that is my rant for the week my dear friends. Happy Fathers Day to all you fathers out there. I hope you enjoy the tie the kids got you, lol.

Wishing y’all a great week ahead. Let us all, in our own small way, keep fighting for the truth for it will indeed, set us free.

Nonsense Galore

Nary (always wanted to use that word, lol) a week goes by we aren’t made to put up with some sort of nonsense in this country. This week managed to live up to the standard with ice cream on the side and a cherry on top. In fact, there was so much nonsense I don’t even know where to begin.

How about we start with Dr. “I can’t throw a baseball” Anthony Fauci. As Leg Horn Fog Horn would say to the young chicken hawk “I say, I say, what kind of boy can’t throw a baseball?”

So we once again learn something we always knew about this political scientist. I say political because he sure as hell sucks at being a real scientist. This asshat has flip flopped more than any fish I’ve seen out of water. Hell, he even makes John Kerry look like a novice. I am getting a real kick hearing these breaking news stories about a topic most of us with a pea brain knew to be true from the start. This week it was that it looks like the China virus was man-made (the media uses the term “Engineered”) from a lab. No shit Sherlock. Geez. And within the same breaking news story which is all being collaborated via his own emails “Fauci authorized funding for the lab” supporting the study of virus engineering. The media, scientists & politicians term for this is “gain-of-function” research. Bullshit, it’s developing a man made virus to kill people. Stop making up names most don’t understand. Especially me. It’s just the same old crap. Lie, cover it up, get caught and then deny. Meanwhile, don’t let the number of deaths get you down. It was all in the name of science. Senator John Kennedy, who might be my favorite Senator up on dumbass hill when talking about Fauci said “I know Dr. Fauci, but Dr. Fauci needs to cut the crap. This isn’t about his feelings, and I’m sorry if his feelings were hurt. You know, maybe he ought to buy an emotional support pony because American’s have more faith in Dr. Pepper than they do Dr. Fauci” End quote. My kind of guy Senator Kennedy.

To top off what I have decided to be the Fauci shuffle we had confirmed this week that Hydroxychloroquine with Zinc was indeed very effective in preventing folks from getting the virus. And those that did get the virus and were put on the drug that cost less than a dollar had a 200% increase in recovering. 200%! But oh no, once the President shared what he had learned about this cheap drug that has been around for over 70 years the so called “scientists” backed up by the all knowing Liberal Left, and then triple confirmed by the proven truth tellers (not)

the media… hit the airwaves denouncing any such positive effects using the drug. Remember the doctors in the white coats that did the media interview promoting the drug? Remember the black doctor who was so outspoken and adamant the drug was effective? Try finding her today… Then there’s good old Fox News Neil Potato head Cavuto. With his many years as a doctor and a scientist (wrong) he devoted a whole show to the dangers of the drug “Hear me, if you take this drug you could die!” he said. These sons-a-bitches ought to all be locked up. You tell me how many lives were lost because these evil people all but took the drug off the market. Doctors were not allowed to subscribe the drug without facing penalties. I and many others had our accounts suspended on twitter just for saying Hydroxychloroquine. And finally, where are all the apologies? Don’t hold your breath. Once again, it’s all about the money and oh boy have some big evil doers made some money off this China Virus. It’s disgusting.

There is some good news though. Tired Brain is investing a millions of dollars of your money to buy over a half a million doses of the vaccine for, wait for it, other countries to use. And can anyone, someone explain to me why isn’t China paying for all this BS? This has gone from nonsense to downright stupidity and I only use that word because my wife gets mad when I use four letter words too much.

Now let’s talk about the smartest guy Tired Brain Biden knows. His beloved son Hunter. You know Hunter he is the crack smoking, sex with minor loving guy who makes sure the big guy gets 10% of everything ole Hunter can get by selling access to Tired Brain himself. This week some of the crackheads text messages hit the airwaves. Well, hit social media anyway and we learned he uses the N word as if we were living in the 1950’s. OMG look out, BLM is going to eat this crack head for lunch, right? Wrong. Fine but when the MSM gets done with him he won’t be able to show his face in public ever again, right? Wrong. Well poop. At least the President of the United States will stand up and denounce his own son’s filth. Right? Of course not. First his father isn’t really the President of the United States and second, the N word has been used around the Biden kitchen table ever since Biden was born. I don’t know that for a fact but based on his track record and his hero Senator Bird, prove me wrong.

My Guess is the N word is used around the Biden kitchen table on a regular basis

One of my followers on twitter, great guy, tweeted about how all hell is going to break loose when the results of the Arizona audit goes public. I, being the smart ass I can be replied; “let’s hope it gets better coverage than the crackhead using the N word did.” Not the NYT, not any of the mainstream media, Washington Post, none of them have even spoken the word Hunter… Talk about nonsense galore… disgusting. I know you’re tired of hearing it and I am tired of saying it but I can’t stop. The media in this country is every bit as responsible for the thief of our liberties as anyone, maybe even more so. Unlike AOC, I say build more prisons and let’s fill them up with these media hack jobs.

Finally there is Tired Brain on his trip to Europe. While addressing our troops over there, which is a whole other DG rant some day, he said “the Joint Chiefs have declared global warming as the number one threat in the world, that’s no joke.” Now forget for a minute the day before he said white supremacy was the number one threat. I mean cut the idiot a break, he can’t remember to change his diapers. Houston we have a problem. If indeed the Joint Chiefs of Staff said this they should all lose rank and be sent home to attend to their gardens. You have to wonder what the troops listening to this nonsense were thinking. “So I am deployed over hear away from my family and friends to combat the threat of global warming? Really? How come we have all these tanks, airplanes and ships and stuff?”

Seriously friends, we live in a world filled with complete nonsense that if we’re not careful is going to get us killed. The other world leaders must be licking their chops right now knowing they are going to play the Biden fiddle all the way to the bank. The American taxpayer bank.

I better call an end to this week’s rant. Notice I didn’t even bother talking about the phony and her south of the border disaster. There’s nothing I can say about that unlikable worm you don’t already know.

As far as I’m concerned these folks carrying these signs have earned instant U.S. Citizenship

I also skipped the “breaking news” that President Trump didn’t have Lafayette park cleared so he could walk to the church after all. Another breaking story that 80 million American’s already knew.

As always thank you for listening to my weekly rant and know that I wish y’all only the best for your week ahead. We will endure the nonsense together and fight on.

Why?

My boss for over 30 years was someone I looked up to. I give him credit for so many things in my career. He would lift you up when you were down and humble you when you thought you were all knowing. Over the years, the one word he would use that always stopped everyone in their tracks was “why?” We’d be in executive committee meetings having a discussion about some important matter and as with everything in life, everyone had their own opinion or excuse as to why something wasn’t going as planned. More often than not, after an hour of everyone bloviating, the boss would throw cold water on all of it by simply saying “why?”

The word/question makes you stop talking and start thinking. I remember in one such meeting one of the managers got a bit lippy. He decided, I guess, to take the boss on. When the boss threw out the famous “why”, the manager did what you should never do, he kept talking instead of thinking. He replied to the boss, “Well if we knew why we wouldn’t have the problem in the first place, would we?” To which the boss responded with “that’s very true, I suggest you spend more time figuring out “why” this happened and less time telling me it did.”

The bottom line was that the boss wanted us to notify him about problems but he also pushed us to bring along solutions. Most successful leaders I suspect are the same way. There will always be problems and there will always be solutions. Sometimes the solutions are great and sometimes they are like swallowing a whole watermelon, i.e. “painful”.

So let’s put the why theory to test, shall we?

The FBI is doing nothing about the illegal acts of ANTIFA or Black Lives Matter. Both groups have broken a number of laws. If anyone of us broken similar laws, we’d be behind bars. In fact, the perfect example of this is the January 6th protest in DC. The only difference between the acts of ANTIFA and/or BLM is the January 6th protest was, well, a protest. No buildings were burned to the ground, no government or city official was injured, no stores were looted… you get the point. They riot, we protest. Yet many of the protesters remain in jail to this day. They’ve yet to be charged and the rumor is that they are held separately in confinement. Back to the question, why? On the rare occasion someone among the domestic terrorist groups is arrested they are released within 24 hours. Why?

As the boss said, you figure out the answer and you have a pathway to solving the problem. It seems to me the problem lies within the FBI. Nowadays they are little less than the modern day Gestapo for the Democrat Party and we (Trump supporters which is really an unfair label, we are really American Freedom supporters) are the Jews. Harsh? I don’t think so. For me it’s pretty damn obvious. For at least 12 years now the FBI as well as the DOJ and the CIA have been doing the bidding of the Left. Their actions didn’t just start with Trump, they just became more obvious with Trump. He exposed them and they doubled down.

How do the American people correct the wrongs within the damn FBI? That’s a pretty big endeavor don’t you think? The natural path would be through our duly elected officials, right? Right.

Now we come to the second “why?”

We can certainly understand why the Democrats hate Trump and stick together. We detest their policies because we believe those policies are anti-American, thus they are what we call the opposing party. Well, we call them a lot of things, opposing party is the nicest of the terms. In this case “we” stands for you and me, the people who voted Trump into office because we believe in being free. What about the Republicans? Why don’t they stick together? Why don’t they all align with us, the people who elected them? Why have so many of them voted with the opposing party on important matters? “Why?”

How on earth do we correct the wrongs such as the FBI and the Democrats when our own party or at least the other party undermines us at nearly every turn? The answer, we don’t.

The reason so many of the Republicans vote with the Democrats is because when all the dust settles on whatever issue/problem we face, they are (most not all) no different than the Democrats. They seek to secure their power, maintain their leadership positions, and continue to enrich themselves off the backs of the American taxpayer. I seriously don’t think the issue is any more complicated than this. By all accounts there isn’t anything they won’t do to maintain their positions.

How did we get to this point where it feels near impossible to right the wrongs? We made the fatal mistake of trusting those we elected and being busy with our own personal lives. While we worked and raised our families we let the power brokers in Washington run amok. We didn’t hold them accountable and here we are. After four years of a President who wasn’t a politician, and because of that, he sounded different, acted differently and brought into stark view all of the things “We The People” have been neglecting, you can bet your bottom dollar that the Left and the Right will never make that mistake again (allowing us to elect who we want.)

Right now, it appears that President Trump’s main focus is on 2022. He wants everything to go through him, which ensures only people who think like him and like we do are elected during the mid-terms. No more Mitt Romeys, Jeff Flakes, the dingbats in Alaska and Maine, etc. And there are many etceteras.

Most of us still haven’t gotten over the 2020 election. We cannot understand how our vote will make a difference in 2022 if the blatant fraud of 2020 isn’t reliably adjudicated first. I know that’s how I feel anyway.

It’s pretty remarkable how so many people think that one man should have been able to correct decades of corruption in DC. A few folks this week on twitter took shots at Mike Pompeo. They questioned why he didn’t do more against China relating to the virus. Pompeo tweeted that he ran into road blocks at every turn when attempting to get to the bottom of how the virus came to be. This is what I mean. DC is filled with lifelong evil doers, liars whose pockets are filled with blood money. I don’t blame Pompeo any more than I don’t blame Trump. Both men have shown us the evil but it will take much more than two men and four short years to turn this huge evil ship around. My fear remains the same as it always has. This is going to take an outright revolution and honestly, I don’t think it is within the make-up of today’s American citizens to take this on. Trust me. I hate to sound so defeated. I hold out some hope as it relates to the States. I pray they, via the good people within them, will not stand for the consistent gavel of injustice. If even a few of the Red States stand up by refusing to allow the Federal Government to eliminate the constitutional rights of their citizens then perhaps we have the chance anyway of having safe havens within these States. The Arizona election audit is hopeful if only to expose the dirty dealings that occurred. While I don’t believe this will give us our duly elected President back I do hope it creates a wave of election corrections within the Red States. At this point who your state Governor is can make all the difference. Example – Ron DeSantis in Florida.

The Nation could not be more divided. Those people who refuse to see the evil that goes on are officially a part of the DC establishment. Sadly they don’t even know that. As impossible as it is to believe, 30 percent or more in this country actually think Washington and even Biden are the good guys. I am here to tell you, they are not. When a brainless bartender becomes a United States Congresswoman you know the Nation has lost her way…

So following all this bloviating, I leave you with this. When you learn that a new law is being proposed, or you hear about some body tattooed thug with metal piercing hanging on every corner of his body nearly beat someone to death is going to be released from prison early, or if some brain dead congresswoman claims that building fewer prisons cause fewer people being incarcerated, or even if you hear a little jackass who can’t throw a baseball to home plate instruct you not to wear a mask one week but then to wear a mask the next week, ask the question, “why?”

Figure that out and you’ll have a pathway to fix what is broken

In the meantime, keep fighting the fight, hope and pray for the best, do what you can and most importantly, keep those you love near and dear. Have a good week my friends. We live to fight another day.
