Random Thoughts for February, 2023
Robert A. Hall
Feel free to post or forward.
Health Update: Bonnie and I,
and her son Dale who is living with us, all had bad chest colds over New Years,
but seem to be fine now. All else is okay.
Looking
at what inflation and the collapse of the stock mark has done to our retirement
fund in the last two years, Bonnie has returned to work. She is working full
time as a temp in the HR office of the Madison School District. The job lasts
until April 28, then who know? She loved the first two days.
“The
truth has no defense against a fool determined to believe a lie.” ~ Mark Twain
We
should demand to see the tax returns of Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck
Schumer. Hunter’s would be nice too.
Don’t
celebrate until after you score.
“It has
been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.” ~
Abraham Lincoln
O
Tempora! O Mores!
“I
didn’t listen!” The lament of the middle-aged.
If they
convince me that Climate Change will put NYC under water, I’ll be shopping for
an SUV.
“To see what is in front of
one’s nose is a constant struggle.” ~ George Orwell
Looks like they set up a Potemkin
Village for Biden’s visit to El Paso.
Geese mate for life, unlike many
humans.
“Today’s
experts are tomorrow’s assholes.” ~ MeWe.com
“Things
in our country run in spite of our government, not by aid of it.” ~ Will Rogers
“The
difference between a welfare state and a totalitarian state is a matter of
time.” ~ Ayn Rand
"It is both possible and moral to love one's country and hate its
government." ~ Walter E. Williams, Ph.D.
DNA is destiny.
“JFK put men on the moon. Obama put them in the ladies’ room.” ~ MeWe.com
If someone emails you a poll, they want a donation.
The woke seem to be competing to create the most ridiculous woke idea of
the year. It’s already January, and already the faithful are asked to believe.
So far in January:
--Saying football field or baseball field is racist because it reminds
blacks their ancestors were slaves in cotton fields. (The poor farmers who can’t
say field.)
--Farting loudly is a sign of male dominance. (Or the sign of eating the
wrong things or a medical condition.)
--Wearing
black socks is racist appropriation of black skin color. (Nothing about blacks
wearing white socks.)
--Trans
men should put frozen tomato paste inside themselves to simulate periods. (By
their spotting ye shall know them.)
--White
Men's Sexual Interest in Big Butts Is Now Racist. (I’m a leg man myself, but do
love a cute face and freckles.)
God
knows what it will be in a year
My SAMS
credit Card changed the payment date from the 18th to the 11th,
then charged me a $40 late fee. Previously the Costco card did the same. (Got
the SAMS card to take off the late fees.)
In 20
years the Navy will be taking disabled people in wheelchairs for the submarine
service.
“My
favorite thing about the Good Old Days was I wasn’t good and I wasn’t old.” ~
MeWe.com
Why
bother having a national debt limit. You know they will just raise it every
year.
“Black supremacy
is as dangerous as white supremacy, and God is not interested merely in the
freedom of black men and brown men and yellow men. God is interested in the
freedom of the whole human race and the creation of a society where all men
will live together as brothers, and all men will respect the dignity and the worth
of all human personality.” ~ Martin Luther King
When a job
opening has a salary range, they will offer you the bottom of the range.
Through Trans-Women,
the patriarchy has taken over women’s sports.
“Lightning makes
no sound until it strikes.” ~ Martin Luther King
“You
won’t see it for what it is until you stop looking through the lens of what you
want it to be.” ~ MeWe.com
MLK
would be appalled at BLM.
“Courage
is fear that has said its prayers.” ~ Dorothy Bernard
Make
your bed every morning. That small commitment to neatness and order will set
the tone for a successful day.
“Anyone
can commit a murder, but it takes an artist to stage a suicide.” ~ KGB saying.
The
American Experiment produced freedom and a high standard of living for
millions. In the past 25 years it has been, inch by inch, slipping away. I fear
our grandchildren will be slaves to the state like people in communist Russia
or Nazi Germany.
“The minimum
wage is just a prohibition against hiring low skilled labor.” ~ Mario Loyola
Recruiting
is difficult because of the Woke military. How about recruiting a couple of
regiments of Gurkhas, like the Brits. Or recruiting among the illegals. Serve
four years honorably and receive citizenship. Fail to serve out you contract,
and get deported immediately.
“Fanaticism
consists of redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.” ~ George
Santayana
Everyone
has issues.
Rome is
still an original example of how a republic slips into autocracy.
The
Navajo and other southwest Indians were enslaved by the Spanish. And sometimes
the white usage of them was pretty near slavery. Do Indians get Reparations as
well?
Note from a
dental technician who bought two of my quote books: “My dad and whole family
will greatly enjoy these as they resonate with everything we value & hold
dear. What a gift you have & what a sacrifice of time.” ~ Emily
Email from a guy in NC: “I bought four copies of your
Quotes. I gave three to friends and one is on my desk. GREAT WORK !”
– Kirk.
He followed up that he bought a two
more books for other friends! He
also wrote a very positive review on Amazon.
