Month: August 2021

Another week and another blog post. I wrote months ago that we are living in the groundhog’s day movie where every day is a repeat of the previous day. Oh sure the events from day to day may differ some but each day always ends the same way with disappointment and discouragement from DC.

While we say that we “demand” Washington to change, we don’t actually demand anything. Not really. Not only are we allowing the evil doers to take us down, we are doing so without even putting up a fight. Still to this day, in spite of everything we’ve been through and everything that we’ve seen and know to be true, we sit idly by somehow holding out hope that someone in Washington is going to save us. Through our inaction we give them permission to carry on as they will. The days of writing to your congressman, flooding the DC phone banks or hitting them at the ballot box are over and have been for a very long time. You see, they don’t fear us and certainly don’t respect us and now, they see just how outlandish they can be and still get away with it. I won’t list all of the things they have done and are doing (that would be quite the chore) but so many of these things were unheard of just a few short years ago. Some would have been simply unthinkable just a few short years ago. These people in DC are like a bank robber who is never held accountable therefore there is no reason to stop robbing the bank. Why would they? By all appearances, they own us. This shouldn’t be a shock. They own the media, the banks and they have weaponized the Alphabet Agencies against us. The worst of all of it are the “Woke” Generals in the military. The military has always been the one American institute we thought we could depend on to uphold the Constitution. It no longer feels that way today.

If the wide open border during a worldwide pandemic wasn’t enough to get us out of our chairs then why would anyone think this nightmare in Afghanistan would? If allowing a capitol police officer to fatally shoot an unarmed woman is allowed to stand, what is it these people in DC can’t do? If the highest court in the land rules renters must pay their rent and the Administration along with Congress simply ignore the ruling then what else do they feel empowered to do? If they can shut down every business “they” want to shut down, then I say it again, what else do they feel completely empowered to do? The sky’s the limit my friends. We the people and nobody else are allowing them free reign over us.

A follower of mine said that until these outlandish acts start personally affecting people, the people will continue to sit idly by. The problem with that, while I totally understand what he’s saying, is that these outlandish acts have directly affected millions of us and yet, we continue to sit. As I seem to say week over week, it seems like we in America could learn a lot from the folks in the streets of London or Sydney or even Cuba for that matter.

In simple terms here’s my deal and I’ve lived my whole life under this ideal. If some tuff guy is trying to take my lunch money, they’re going to earn it. By standing up for yourself you accomplish two things, first, some self respect and second, the guy attempting to take the lunch money will think twice before he comes after it again. In America today, we seem absolutely happy to give up our lunch money without a fight….

Now that I’ve depressed the hell out of you; how about a fun story about President Trump? In 2017 I had a neighbor Art who was retired military and a retired private sector engineer. He told me that years before, he had worked for a company out of Jacksonville, Florida who had landed a contract to work on the yacht engines for then private citizen and billionaire Donald Trump. Art is a salty old guy. You never have to guess where you stand with Art. He’s upfront and right to the point.

He said all the big wigs in his company (The President, the CEO and the CFO) were on red alert one day because Trump was coming for the final walk through of his yacht. Art had met Mr. Trump on each of his prior visits even though Art was not one of the big guys in his company. Art was the guy down in the belly of the boat working alongside the people doing the actual work. Art said that when Trump arrived that day he was on the boat making sure all the final touches were completed. The company bigwigs greeted the (not then) President as he rolled up onto the dock. Soon after (Art chuckling as he told the story), the CEO of his company found Art and said to him, “Art, can you come up on deck, Trump is asking for you.” Art told me that Trump infuriated the company big-wigs every time he visited the boat to check its progress because he never really cared about meeting with the power-guys. He wanted to meet with the people who were actually working on the boat. He asked good questions, always made sure the boat was going to be the best ever (lol) and always appreciative of the guys with dirty hands. I love this story because it displays the man I believe Trump is.

*Art was in his late 80’s when he told me this story and was showing early stages of dementia. I was unable to find anything online to collaborate his story. This doesn’t seem like a story one would make up nor was Art that kind of guy. #disclaimer

What prompted me to tell this story was a clip of President Trump that Greg Kelly played the other night on Newsmax. The President was speaking at CPAC I think and telling the story of the aircraft carrier’s catapult system. The Navy was in the process of changing out the systems from steam to electric. “I got onto the beautiful ship and was met by these beautiful ship commanders. These were some good looking guys. I told them I didn’t want to talk to them. I wanted to talk to the guys running these catapults. Sir we can answer any questions you have, said one of the officers. No, no, I want to talk to one of the guys operating the catapults.” Trump replied. The officers proceeded to walk the President down to where the catapult operators were working. Trump asks “Sailor, what do you like, the steam or the electric?” “The steam sir!” the sailor replied. “Why?” the President asked. “Sir, I can fix the steam catapult with a ball ping hammer, the electric is crap sir.” I of course am giving you this conversation based on my memory of the clip but trust me, I’m close. Ha, ha! Does this story line up with Art’s story or what? They’ll never be another President like Trump.

These are the types of things we love about the President, the people’s President. He’s not impressed with the elite in this world. He’s impressed with you and me, the ones that get our hands dirty and the ones that don’t make decisions in our lives based on dirty politics. We use common sense. We do what is best for ourselves, our families and our country. Period, everything else is just political nonsense devised to fill bank accounts and gain control over others. This country is made up of millions of people just like you and me.

This week we sat by and watched a tired old brain of a man turn his back on us and walk away.

You can rest assured this pretend President, had there not been an up roar in the country, would have never gone back and rescued anyone in Afghanistan. If he had his way he’d pull out today and never look back. He’s a coward and he certainly doesn’t give a rat’s ass about anyone other than himself and those he reports to.

As for the ass-clown who shot young Ashlie, it makes my skin crawl. Why didn’t he fire a warning shot? Why didn’t he shoot her in the leg? Why didn’t he tase her? Where was the social worker to talk to her? Aren’t these the things that the Left always asks when there’s a shooting? I hope and pray the family gets their day in court. They deserve that, we all deserve that.

Finally, my heart and prayers go out to those fine men who lost their lives this week doing the dirty work of a failed installed puppet. I also pray for the safety of those still there doing this dangerous work. Tensions will only get worse as August 31st draws nearer. To all those Democrats and Republicans who signed onto to Trump impeachments I look at you and spit. You were willing to take a President down that had done nothing wrong yet you sit idly by right now as the whole world watches a tired old man make ruin of a once great Nation. You people are disgusting scum of the earth.

And with that I bid you farewell until next week when, Lord only knows what will happen. One thing is for certain. As long as we sit by, the evil doers will continue to take our lunch money. Don’t sit by, keep your lunch money and stand up for yourselves and your country!

Wishing each of you a great rest of your weekend and week ahead. As Forest once said, “life’s a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”

After what can clearly be defined by anyone with a functioning brain as another week of one cluster (you know what) after another, this thought came to me. What, if any, red line do we have? Meaning, what is it that this Tired Brain of a man, and this Government as a whole have to do until we throw up our arms and say, “oh hell no!”

If leaving our border wide open and allowing a million unknowns to waltz into the country wasn’t enough, if making Covid and the vaccines a complete and utter confusing joke isn’t enough, if destroying our energy industry, promoting critical race theory in our schools, doubling the cost of gas, allowing inflation to grow, calling a protest an insurrection, killing a young unarmed lady, allowing the certification of clearly a rigged election and so much more like passing bills that we cannot afford and do nothing to fix anything isn’t enough, this week, we were presented with the “Afghanistan Fall-Face-First into a pile of shit” maneuver. Americans are left stranded, billions in military equipment are left with the people we’ve spent 20 years fighting as they chant “death to America” and then there are the lives lost and the humiliation of those who served, those without a leg or legs, without an arm or arms, moms without sons and daughters, wives without husbands and children without moms and dads and a grateful Nation just watched 20 years of blood and treasure turn into another nightmare. As we sit in our living rooms watching plane loads of Afghan men being transported to the U.S. without face masks, I ask, “Where are the women and children? Where are the Americans? Why are they coming here? Have they been vetted? Have they been tested for the virus? Will they assimilate to the American way of life? How much will this cost?” The sick part about all of these questions is that our Government could answer every one of them and it would mean nothing to us because we no longer trust them. A reporter asked the State Department head, “How many Americans are in the country and need to be evacuated?” His response? “We don’t know.” When asked what the plan was to get all Americans out, the spokesperson for the military said “We’ve told everyone to get to the airport.” Has he not seen the Taliban in the streets of every city in the country? How in the bloody hell is an American supposed to get to the airport and even if they do, have they seen the thousands upon thousands of Afghans crowding the barrier surrounding the airport? What a complete F’ing joke…

Meanwhile, days passed without hearing from Tired Brain as he ran off on vacation (what exactly has he done to warrant a vacation anyway?, Mr. Lid). Congress people were calling on him to address the nation and twitter was lit up calling on him to address the nation. I tweeted that he should stay on vacation knowing damn well he’d only make matters worse if he spoke. I was right. Tired Brain spoke for an entire 10 minutes while he blamed everyone else and told us that getting out of Afghanistan was important. Nobody except the warmongers like Graham and Cheney had any problem with getting out. The topic at hand was the way we got out. Biden’s handlers knew that and they knew it was not a popular subject. “The buck stops with me” he proclaimed. Really? That was followed by “I don’t apologize.” Whatever; he did nothing to answer the important questions and certainly did nothing to ease the concerns of the nation. And anyone in their right mind knew that before he ever wobbled up to the podium. And finally, when he finished, what did he do? He turned his back on the reporters as they yelled out questions and he walked out. The very same thing he did throughout his campaign, the same thing he always does. Coward.

This week, I’ve watched a few Republican Congress people calling on Biden to produce a plan to get our citizens out of Afghanistan. That actually concerns me. If these Republicans actually think Biden is capable of coming up with any plan to accomplish anything then they themselves need to resign. Seriously, the man can’t even read a damn teleprompter or wipe his own ass. So you ask him to come up with a plan to evacuate Americans who are in a terrorist controlled country? Give me a freaking break. The only thing they should be calling on Biden to do is to resign and knowing that’s not going to happen it should be a full court press to impeach him along with the “hiding under the covers” Vice President. Never in the last seven months has the country been more leaderless. Just what on God’s green earth is it going to take for these people in Congress to throw in the towel and say enough is enough? What else does this non-elected buffoon have to do or not do until they impeach this idiot? Like all Democrats in Congress, he doesn’t care about the American people. Stop calling for him to do anything? We don’t need hearings on why he did this or that. We need him gone and now! For Christ sake the Democrats impeached Trump over a dumbass phone call. This nonsense has to stop.

I am going to have to stop before I pop a cork so to speak. Before I go I’d ask all of you the same question, what is your red line? How much more damage are you/we going to allow before we throw down the bullshit flag and stand on every street corner in America demanding justice in this country. We are owed justice. We pay the bills around here. It is our duty to make things right. The level of injustice in this country is deep and I am not just talking about Afghanistan or even this joke of an election. We can start with Benghazi as far as I’m concerned. These ass-hat clowns in DC think they got away with everything they’ve made us endure over these past years and to this day guess what, they have. Trump is one man, I’ll keep harping on it, he ain’t God and he ain’t going to be able to correct the wrongs this Government has perpetrated on us. If we don’t stand up and demand justice and demand to be heard then all will be lost. Look at Australia right now. A once free nation is on complete lock down. They are arresting their citizens for not wearing a mask; a stupid, useless mask. Look at New York with their “key to the city” bullshit. No vaccine equals: no theater, no nightclubs, no gyms, no indoor dining and the communist nonsense goes on. Every day that we sit back bitching and moaning about the next freedom that is being taken away, the harder and longer it will take for us to regain control, if ever. Soon the Tired Brain handlers will mandate the booster shots and Katie bar the door once the FDA is forced to announce these vaccines are now fully approved. The Government has screwed up the border, screwed up the election, screwed up the economy, screwed up the withdrawal in Afghanistan, made the entire country less safe, lied to us at every turn but we are supposed to trust them with our health.

Now is the time for us to stand together, to be united, to meet the challenges before us. Tweeting, writing blogs and displaying our flag on our front porches is all well and good, none of those things are going to get this country back on track and none are going to get us the justice we deserve. Hell, the only thing these things have done is get us on a terror watch list and be accused on attempting a insurrection. Think about that.

Okay friends, I’ll keep pounding this message as long as you’ll keep listening. I truly wish our country was filled with folks just like you. Oh my, what a wonderful world it would be. But it’s not, is it? Evil is all around us and up to this point we have been just small little gnats that these evil bastards keep flicking away with their powerful gazillion dollar fingers. They use their Government lap dogs, their state owned media, their pukes in Hollywood, their paid-for bugsy, louie and knuckles in the FBI, CIA and DOJ to push us around and do as they please. It’s awful, it’s wrong and it must stop. It will take millions of us and a whole lot of staying power to fix this mess.

Oh crap, shut the hell up Dan, enough already. LOL. Have a good weekend friends and thanks so much for letting me rant like this. I do believe we’ll find our way out of this. I just don’t know when. I do know one thing, “Doing always beats Saying”

Biden did this, Biden did that. Wrong. Biden doesn’t even know he’s alive. I’d fall out of my chair if Biden is in charge of his own bowel movements. You can bet someone is telling him whether to go #1 or #2 because the man is gone. His brain was never exceptional and now completely shot. While Kami (the now confirmed & undisputed worst VP ever) and not a Doctor (I want to be first lady no matter what) Jill lead the feeble old man around from room to room and microphone to microphone the entire world is laughing, which would be funny if not so damn dangerous.

Many say this is Obama’s third term. I don’t think so. I think he is another one that gets too much credit. He’s just a puppet boy too although one that at least has a functional brain, albeit with stupid anti-American racist motives.

I believe it’s the big money globalists who are behind all of this communist nonsense. They are using all their petty paid puppets to perform a full court press to take America down. They own the likes of Joe Biden, The Clintons, Obama, Bush, Kerry, Brennan, Clapper, Wray, Pelosi, Schumer, Graham, McConnell, the DOJ, the Press and the damn courts. Oh and let us not forget the voting machines. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if they aren’t the ones that gave the order for Cuomo to step down. After all, they can’t have some aggressive guy like Cuomo running New York. It’ll be interesting to see what they decide to do with the other Dick-weed Governor running California. Will they save him?

I don’t know friends, maybe dear old Dan has fallen off his rocker. I just watch and listen to these people who are supposed to be running this country and I say to myself, “they ain’t that bright”. My guess is that even these so-called Globalists I speak of shake their heads from time to time when they see some of the stunts that their puppets pull. They (The Globalists) must spend a great deal of their time herding these sheep to keep them in line and focused and they spend a lot of money in the process.

One fact remains true, you take America down and the world becomes your oyster. I just find it hard to believe that Joe “tired brain” Biden is running this country and that is exactly what we are made to believe. First they attempted to make us believe he won the Democratic nomination. Remember that? Do you even remember how lousy he was in the debates? That was when he was running against a host of complete idiots. Tulsi Gabbard was the only one on that stage that looked and sounded even remotely reasonable. She didn’t last very long, did she? Then we were made to believe that he won the 2020 Presidential election. That wasn’t good enough, we had to believe he not only won, but received more votes than any President in history! We were to overlook the fact that he didn’t even campaign really and when he was out holding rallies it was pathetic. I don’t think he ever had more than a hundred attend and more often than not it was less than a baker’s dozen and half of those were paid press. But here we are. Our CEO is Joe Biden. Wrong!

Ole Joe had no sooner moved into the White House when he had in front of him hundreds of pre-written executive orders all designed to put things back to where they were before the people’s President came on the stage. These EOs were all done by good old honey badger himself, William Barr. Honey badger, my ass. This paid actor had us all fooled, for a minute or two. He ended up being just like the rest. Bought and paid for. No one on the planet was handed a bigger opportunity to become a National hero than Barr. Instead, he took the money and ran, leaving Americans (some anyway) and President Trump to fight on their own.

Tired Brain didn’t come up with these orders just like he hasn’t come up with anything during these last disastrous eight months. He is the point man though so he does get the spotlight doesn’t he. To the deranged on the Left, he is a hero. It is hard for me to even type that. To those of us on the right, he is an utter disaster. However, remember that he isn’t in charge and doesn’t even know he’s alive. #FollowTheMoney

I remain hopeful that we the people will get to a point where we’ve collectively had enough (I was there months ago) and we stand up. As ugly as it will be, it has to be or else Motel 6 will not be leaving the lights on… so to speak. I guess the question that I have is, “How much more do we have to endure until the country says enough?”

As I put an end to this week’s rant, I apologize. As you might detect, I am not in a happy place when it comes to our country. My cup runneth over if you will (and not in a good way). On a personal level, in my small little world, I couldn’t be happier. My retirement is going as planned. Both of my boys are doing well, they are working hard, raising their families and the wife and I are so pleased to be a part of their lives. We have granddaughters spending the weekend with us and we couldn’t be happier. Oh like all families out there, we have our share of challenges but we deal with them as best we can. What matters is that they are all safe, have roofs over their heads with food in the refrigerator. You see, it doesn’t take much for the Garrisons to be happy.

I hope y’all are doing well and as I always do, I send best wishes to each of you and your own for a good week ahead. Lord only knows what the world will send our way. Whatever it is, we shall overcome. Steady peck breaks the rock and “doing always beats saying.” All the best friends!

Hi friends. I have to say writing this blog each week isn’t getting any easier. Week after week, as the nonsense piles up, I find myself wondering why I bother. I’m not here to pour fuel on the fire. That has never been my goal. I started doing these more for myself than anything else. Everyone copes in different ways. Writing has always been a way for me to unwind but these weekly rants are beginning to do just the opposite. At the end of any given week, I find myself wound up tighter than the skin on nasty Nancy’s face. I mean the depth of insanity going on is nearly unbearable. Oh poor me, right? “Don’t be a baby, put some mud on it & suck it up Dan!” Thanks, I needed that. Uh-oh, now I am talking to myself… LOL

The American Recovery Act huh? Trillions proposed and less than 10% goes toward infrastructure. Don’t worry though Tired Brain says it pays for itself. Where have I heard that before? I’ll tell you where, about 20 trillion dollars ago…

Hidden deep inside this 2,000+ page candy jar, they have a plan to tax us based on how many miles we drive. This is their way of 1. Making the Green New Deal a reality and 2. Helping the efforts to make this pay for itself. Never be confused when the Federal Government says something will pay for itself. That always means that we will pay for it; always. Tired Brain also set a goal this week. Fifty percent of all cars on the road must be electric within the next eight years – another Green New Deal goal. Those of us who actually put our pants on one leg at a time know that it takes a whole lot of fossil fuel to produce the batteries to run these cars but hey, don’t let the facts get in the way right? Personally, I think the electric car is pretty cool and if I don’t have to listen to these idiots with their tricked out mufflers on their stupid little four bangers I’m all for electric cars. It’s the lying BS way they sell them that drives me nuts. Electric cars for me are like everything else in life. Whatever turns you on followed by “Just don’t try to shove it down my throat” which is where we are headed. My wife has a faux fur coat. One time we were taking in the sights in San Francisco (believe it or not it used to be a fun place to go). It can get pretty chilly in SF when the fog rolls in so she was wearing her coat. One of these environmental liberal pink haired, save the California slug women gave my wife the stink eye over her coat waving her finger at her as if to say “no, no, no”. My wife turned and said, “it’s fake, get over yourself.” Ah, gotta love my wife. I of course was too busy trying to step around the needles and poop. The point is that very soon, driving my gas-eating pick-up truck will be viewed just like the faux fur coat or God forbid, being unvaccinated. As for what else is in the “American Recovery Plan?”, we’ll need to pass it before we know what’s in it… All I know is that we need to pay attention and agree not to vote for any Republican who votes for this Democrat spending spree.

The moratorium on renters was set to expire earlier this week. The CDC announced the moratorium will continue over the next 60-90 days. Up until now, most of you, including myself, thought the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) was in charge of controlling disease which by all accounts they suck at. Well, I guess we were wrong. They are now in charge of housing and I guess that includes rent control. I also guess we are supposed to just accept this and move along like good little sheep. Seriously though, I can’t even imagine what the landlords are going through with this nonsense. Many I am sure are no longer landlords and have long since been forced to let their properties go back to the banks that hold their mortgages. Um, was this a part of the plan all along? Nah, now I’m just being silly… The Government, in their endeavor to control everything, has been throwing our money at some of these deadbeat renters since the invention of the China virus. Today there are millions of job openings throughout the country but for some reason, the renters cannot get a job and pay rent. It is pure crap and a mirror of the Government’s college loan forgiveness program. Another Government overreach designed to secure more voters while putting the rest of us further in debt.

Finally, the war continues between the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Fighting over this one has even gone inside many households throughout the country. The vaccinated have allowed the Government who are backed up by the media to convince them those who have yet to get the shot are endangering their lives and are now the number one cause for lockdowns, masks and worldwide infections. They are disinterested in hearing anything from anyone other than their beloved Government, the always right Dr. (I can’t throw a baseball) Fauci and the always reliable, CDC all of which are backed up by the most reliable of all, the news media. How can all of these fine institutions be wrong?

I’d share with you my status related to the vaccine but quite frankly, and with the utmost respect, it’s none of your business. Having cleared that up I found it interesting this week to learn the CEO of Pfizer had yet to get his own vaccine. I also found it very communist like to hear that CNN (they’re the most trusted name in news by the way…) fired three of their employees because they had refused to get the shot. I also think it’s somewhat interesting that Senator (I’ll write a letter) Graham has come down with the virus even though he had taken the vaccine. United Airlines announced on Friday they will require all of their employees to get the vaccine as will the United States Military. The great state of New York, under their award winning leadership have launched a new “get a key to the city” campaign which is pretty simple according to mayor Dumb dumb DeBlazio. Get the shot, get the key allowing you to go out to dinner, go shopping, attend the theater, picnic in the park, go to the gym, the city is open to you! Don’t get the vaccine, sadly, no key for you. No dinner out, no shopping at the grocery store, wear a mask & stay away from the key holders. If this commie had any guts he would have just come right out and said “I hope you all die.”

I’ll finish this up by telling a personal story. Unlike the Government, Fauci, the CDC and the media, the story I am about to tell you is true.

Yesterday, we learned that my brother-in-law, who is about as fit as anyone I know, who is 55 years old and never sick, was admitted to the hospital. He had been complaining to his wife that his leg was sore. When he came down the stairs yesterday, he was limping. His wife asked him if his leg was still hurting. He told her yes and that it was swollen. Like any good wife, she insisted he drop his pants right then and right there. Like any good husband he complied. Upon the dropping of the drawers, she took one look and said “I think you have a blood clot, pull your pants up, we’re going to the hospital”. Realizing he had lost all authority, he pulled his pants up and headed for the passenger side of the car. A few tests and hours later he was admitted and told he would have surgery at 7:30 tomorrow (today) morning to remove the clot. While I am attempting to make this sound funny, there was nothing funny about it at all. The clot was nearly two feet long from his hip to below his knee. Had he waited he could have died. Thankfully his operation went well, the clot is gone and he will spend one more night in the hospital for monitoring. They are running a number of tests in order to determine the cause. It could be a number of things. They told him inactivity could be one. I can tell you that that’s impossible. I will tell you he had the Johnson & Johnson vaccine six months ago. I’ll leave this story right there. I am however very curious to see if the hospital even considers this a possible reason for the clot. My guess is that they will not. We are just so relieved they were able to remove the clot.

Okay friends and family, another week and another rant. In the event that nothing stupid happens next week I won’t be posting a blog. Translation: I’ll talk to y’all next week.

Have a wonderful weekend and week ahead! Remember, the only way this Government gets away with all the nonsense is if we let them. Don’t let them.
