I told myself I would stop debating deranged Marxists and liberals with fact-based information. I find that they react very poorly to facts, and all they do is begin to attack you personally. A dog will snarl and perhaps chase and bite you. A Marxist will attempt to belittle you personally and make character attacks—anything so they don’t have to debate the facts. Of course, they may chase and bite you too.
A Book? What a Novel Idea!
I considered sending a copy of my latest book, Erasing America: Broken Politics Broken Country, to all my anti-Trump liberal friends and relatives, but then I thought better of it because I came to the conclusion that they actually don’t read.
Political Doublespeak with a Dash of Horseshit
I’ve come to an unfortunate truth—that liberal Democrats have become wonderfully adept at what George Orwell referred to as doublespeak, which refers to language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words. For example, an illegal alien is now an undocumented immigrant or someone with a complex immigration situation. Now that’s doublespeak with a dash of horseshit.
Misgendering in Oregon Is a Hate Crime
Woe unto you if you tell a strapping six-foot guy with a beard and bulging biceps (and other things) to haul his sequin-gown-covered ass out of the ladies room at the local bar. You might be looking at years of probation and community service hours. Just ask Cassandra McIntyre who was found guilty under this asinine law.
Kiss a Marxist? I’ll Pass, Thank You
Someone told me I should kiss one ignorant Marxist a day, and that will make me feel better about our country. I think that person is full of crap and voted for Biden.
What Part of the Word ILLEGAL Is Confusing?
In case there is any confusion, the hordes of illegals pouring across our border have no interest in the ideals and values of America and becoming a true American. They are interested in handouts, what will be given to them, and what they can take that is not rightfully theirs. They are here ILLEGALLY and should be lawfully removed.
Elizabeth Warren vs. James Madison
If you have any doubt that today’s far-left congressional members of the House and Senate are anti –constitutionalists, remember back in March 2019 when Senator Elizabeth Warren was a Democratic presidential candidate. She actually declared war on the Electoral College in favor of the principle of one person, one vote that the framers of the Constitution actually made sure did not happen because that would lead to mob rule, which is why we have the Electoral College.
Warren’s Democratic colleagues were very quick to say, Oh, Elizabeth Warren, you are wonderful with your enlightened viewpoint. If you doubt this, read The Federalist Papers #10 as I did, which was written by James Madison and published on November 23, 1787.
The paper points out how and why the constitutional framework was created so the dangers the founders were worried about (very powerful political parties) was checked—with the Electoral College—that Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats want to undo. This is a direct affront to what the framers of the Constitution had in mind.
By the way, idiot Congresswoman AOC believes the Electoral College is white racism. I think she should go back to bartending. I hear she actually did that well.
Yogi Berra wisdom worthy of AOC
Tom Seaver: “What time is it?” Yogi Berra: “You mean now?”
What a Combination – Inept, Senile, and Incompetent
The Biden Administration, led by our fearless President, has all the hallmarks of extreme incompetence and chaos. In my opinion, Biden is an inept, senile dictator. He is a political parasite who should be put out to pasture. There is much chatter that the Democratic National Convention will actually replace him on the Presidential ticket with Vice President Kamala Harris or California Governor Gavin Newsom. Yes, things can go from bad to worse.
The Problem – One of Many in California
Ask anyone who lives in California how they like California, and they will either tell you they love it or they hate it. There’s a new bunch of people who really hate California. They are working at fast food restaurants with more than 60 locations nationwide. They’re the people whose jobs are at risk, and many of them have just been fired after Governor Newsom mandated that the minimum salary for these fast food workers go from $16.00 to $20.00 per hour beginning April 1, 2024.
Now if he’s done this with fast food workers, who will be next? People who work at local gyms and fitness studios? Car wash people? People who sweep up—janitors—after the kids in our schools?
What the governor is doing is making an unequal distinction and giving to some at the expense of the others.
If I were an owner of a restaurant where I now have to pay $20.00 per hour for what I paid
$16.00 per hour for last week I’d either raise prices on everything on the menu, replace people with iPads, or outright fire people. Or maybe I’d close my shop because I’ll be damned if I’m gonna earn less money and take the same risk of owning the business due to misguided government policies.
Videos of Gen Z and Their “Struggle to Survive” Make the Rounds of the Web
TikTok idiots reveal how hard life is and bitch about high rent while making videos with $1,200 iPhones. Well, here’s an idea. Since you are undoubtedly working from home in your yoga pants and flip flops while sporting hairbands and no makeup, why not move to a less expensive area of the country? One-bedroom apartments are not $1,800 everywhere. Some places . . . gasp! . . . are under $1,000. But what do you do when the checking account is on fumes after spending $500 on Taylor Swift tickets and $450 for a new outfit? I guess it time to beg mom for more money. Or maybe you could actually clean yourself up, get a haircut, shave, lose the hoodies, and get some interviews with a respectable employer.
Tell Me It Ain’t So
You don’t have to search too hard to find articles that tell you that two-thirds of colleges surveyed mandate DEI courses to satisfy education requirements to graduate. Forget for a moment that this is outlawed in many states, especially for colleges and universities that receive public funds (taxpayer supported). If I discovered that when my kids were in college, I would have yanked them out so fast that their heads would spin. Where are the elected officials who need to monitor compliance with laws and take action to put offenders in jail?
Afterthought
This November, American voters will be presented with the opportunity to tell Biden & Company to go pound sand, write books for multi-million-dollar advances, and fade away from the American political consciousness. Call it a grand opportunity to say good riddance to an astonishingly incompetent administration that’s hell-bent on destroying America.
November cannot come soon enough! VOTE!

My book: THE MINDSET OF RETIREMENT SUCCESS: 7 WINNING STRATEGIES TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE
My purpose in writing this is to provide you with key ideas, concepts, and strategies that may improve your chances of a financially successful exit from the workforce. I hope to make it exceedingly clear in the pages to come that you cannot dabble your way to retirement. The steps I will share with you may seem simple, but they are not easy.

Use this book as a resource to help guide you to make better decisions for your future. You will face unforeseen obstacles on the path to a financially secure retirement; my hope is that you do not become your own obstacle. In other words, do not become your own worst enemy due to inappropriate behaviors and actions. I will not lecture you, but I will ask you to think in new ways. Spend time and review the practical pointers embedded throughout these pages and apply them to your financial life.
As a former Senior Vice President-Wealth Management at Morgan Stanley, I have both the moral authority and depth of experience to guide you on this journey.
