Random Thoughts for October, 2018.

Funny
how the Democrats totally
believe a 36-year-old vague allegation against Kavanaugh, but didn’t
believe Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones or any
of the other Clinton accusers. Nor do they believe Clinton
had sex with any of Jeffrey Epstein’s underage sex slaves during
his many visits to Epstein’s “orgy
island”
or
trips
on his sex
jet.

How’d
you like to be the Supreme Court nominee of the next Democrat
president? People will start questioning your kindergarten classmates
as soon as your name is announced.,
Thirty
years from now, if the Republic survives (something I’m not
confident of) people opposing a Supreme Court Nominee will be
bringing
in psychics to claim the nominee committed a horrible crime in a
previous life.
I
think if Trump had nominated Obama to the Supreme Court, Democrats
would have claimed he shouldn’t be confirmed because he was born in
Kenya.
"Find
out just what people will submit to, and
you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will
be imposed upon them; The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the
endurance of those whom they oppress." --Frederick
Douglass
Time
flies even when you’re NOT having fun.
Don’t
feed the robo-callers.
Facebook
meme. Then: She said, he said. Now: She
said, he’s dead.
We
all
celebrated
Labor Day in September, but isn’t it time to establish a Non-Labor
Day, to recognize that growing segment of the population that gets by
without labor? Oh, maybe PT jobs when begging, borrowing, stealing,
or the charity of family and taxpayers runs thin, but essentially
working their way through life with as little labor as possible.
A
hurricane is God’s way of telling the rich not to build houses on
the coast.
I
have trouble understanding why brave men should risk their lives
rescuing people who were told to evacuate and didn’t.
If
you want to insult someone in Madison, Wisconsin, you can say, “Your
mother’s a Republican!” Or, “Your father believes in a balanced
budget!” If you really don’t like the guy, you can call him a
“Damn
Constationalist!”
Nike
taking on Kaepernick as the new face of “Just Do It” won’t stop
me from buying from them. That’s because I never bought any of
their overpriced stuff anyway.
Nothing
will make you feel old like having your granddaughter turn 18.
I
like the “Nature’s Touch” flavored water drinks from Kwik Trip.
Not too sweet or
strong, and only $6 for a 12-pack. But the marketing? On the label it
says, “Naturally flavored with other natural flavors.” Maybe they
just have a sense of humor.
Millennials
are the first generation to think you deserve time and a half for
actually showing up. And if they work
for a whole week, it’s promotion time!
First
day of fall and we wake up to a sunny day...and 40 degrees outside.
I
spent too much time on computers. I got Helvarti cheese for my
sandwiches, but was saying I got
Helvetica.
The
VA gave me an imaginary dog
as as an
emotional
support animal. I wouldn’t mind, but it’s a Chihuahua.
From
Facebook: “Everyone needs a dog. Some people
just
don’t realize it.”
Giving
booze to some people is like poisoning puppies.
Too
many people think they know just how the world should be run when
they can’t run their own lives successfully.
If
you live in a capitalist, westernized society with the rule of law
and contract enforcement, chances are you have shelter, enough food
to eat and clothing to wear. Much of the non-capitalist world
doesn’t. Except for the elites.
When
some people smile, it’s like the sun came out.
When
others smile, you grab your wallet.
Imagine
the books that will be written by administration officials and
insiders when Trump is no long in office.
Whoever
the next Democrat candidate for president is, I’m sure we can find
a woman who was too drunk to remember when or where, but is sure he
sexually harassed her in high school.
Supreme
Court nominations. The only court where hearsay evidence is not only
admissible, but considered always true by
one side.
Madison
is upset over ICE raids here. I’d like to get a bumper sticker that
says, “I support ICE.” But of course, that would give liberals,
who don’t believe in freedom of speech, permission to trash my car.
“Fallacies
do not cease to become fallacies because though
they
become fashions.” The old fallacy of Socialism is now
highly fashionable with
the
fissiparous
left
and millennials,
even though it always, always
leads to oppression, coercion and privation. Over
a
hundred million people died last century
because it was fashionable then.
I
watch little TV, but I think it’s good that advertisements are
becoming more entertaining, since they now constitute about 50% of
the programming.
People
are complaining about billionaires buying their way into space on
civilian projects like Space X. Not me. If they spend a billion on
their flights (which may not come off) think how much of that money
will find it’s way down to average folks like us who build the
craft, make the parts, make the steel and other materials, and
provide logistics and support. Putting a billion or so into the
economy is hardly a bad thing.
Get
the collection! My “Random
Thoughts” from 2008 through July, 2013 are collected in this book:
The Old Jarhead's Journal: Random
Thoughts on Life, Liberty, and Leadership by Robert
A. Hall
The
Old Jarhead’s Journal is a collection of Random Thoughts on
politics and life and Conservative Political Essays, mostly published
on the author’s blog, including the essay “I’m Tired” which
went viral on the Internet in 2009, “The Hall Platform,” “This
I Believe,” and “Why I’m a Republican.” While they will be of
interest to conservative thinkers, they are collected here in book
form as a service to readers who wish to give a copy to favorite
liberals and watch their heads explode. All
