Oath Keepers Trial

/ youngretireeneedsalife / Leave a comment

“My only regret is we should have brought guns..”

This is what the Oath Keepers believe, and continue to believe.

In this trial there is no remorse for actions, and as this trial unfolds more terrifying concerns are revealed. But beyond this,

who is funding these groups?

To provide transport to the insurrection, buying guns, hotel rooms, and incidental expenses for the participants all costs money. In this trial let’s hope these sources are revealed and outed. The folks funding the insurrection have deep pockets, and while why is concerning this needs to be ignored, and those folks prosecuted.

My next thought…

Where did the insurrectionists send their travel vouchers – the orange prez or rnc?

Were the expenses itemized or was there a per diem $5,000/day for participation in the insurrection?

Perhaps the federal government could send these folks a voucher for $43 million to repair the Capitol?

Best Entertainment Bargain in St. A.- $22/seat

The Limelight is the community theatre in St. Augustine. This evening’s play was Big Fish, and as the play bill states, it is a musical about traveling salesman, Edward Bloom, whose larger than life stories thrill all except his son. It was a fun romp with good acting.

Here are the other selections for their 31st season:

Holiday Hallelujah – December 3rd and 4th at the Flagler College Lewis Auditorium. This date also coincides with the St. Augustine Holiday House Tour, a phenomenal event which returns after its pandemic absence. Folks come from as far away as Kentucky to see these homes, bed and breakfasts decorated in their holiday finery.

Oleanna – January 13-29 – A college student levels a sexual harassment allegation against her professor. Am sure this will provide much intrigue

The Diviners – February 24-March 19 – young men afraid of water and their reckoning.

Over the River and Through the Woods -April 7-30 – Jersey man announces he is moving away from his big Italian family and the schemes they present to keep him in Jersey. A must see for me! Too funny.

Little Miss Sunshine – May 12-June 4 – the hilarious trials to win the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant.

All My Sons – June 23-July 9 – drama of two wartime business partners.

Hands on a Hardbody – August 11- September 3 – a story of down on their luck Texans with big dreams.

Tickets sell out quick.

Is the f word that bad?

On his trip to Florida Biden was caught on a hot mike telling the Mayor of Fort Myers, Ray Murphy,

“Nobody fu-ks with a Biden.”

Know many get upset with the word but this was a chat between two dems of Irish lineage joking in a time of horrific tragedy. But, taking it one step further –

What does f-ck actually mean?

Auntie Google sources state the word is an expression of annoyance to convey disdain, and contempt. with another meaning listed – the act of sexual intercourse… So, how bad it that?

And in this context it adds a bit of levity between two mates.

Mayor Ray Murphy – has his hands full

So, let’s hope no one f-cks with a Biden.

Georgia on my mind..

This senatorial race will be one for the ages. herschel walker’s latest debacle is he encouraged, and paid for an abortion for his girlfriend in 2009. And in his payment for the procedure he included expenses then placed the check inside a get well card. Nice touch.

Oh, I forgot to mention he’s anti-abortion no matter what the circumstances.

he continues to say this was all a lie, and even had a prayer meeting with his supporters this morning as this latest debacle unfolded. Then the topping on the cake – his son put out a video screaming how his father was never around, had 4 children by 4 different women, and because of domestic abuse issues they frequently had to relocate in fear of his wrath.

Great toppings

However, he was/is an amazing football player, and a republican in a southern state so it looks promising for his election. he has already said he isn’t very smart so it will be easy to push him around, and he’ll do anything he’s told.

Another poster boy for the republican party.

Regardless of party, don’t the people of Georgia deserve better?

To Rebuild, or Not to Rebuild…

/ youngretireeneedsalife / Leave a comment

Isn’t that the question?

Seeing the devastation in Florida it seems ridiculous to rebuild when another hurricane, one possibly even stronger, is on the horizon. However, where does one go to avoid climate change? Believe me as one who escaped this bullet I am concerned.

Articles state the best places to relocate are the colder climates since temperatures will be rising 6 degrees in the next decade. Then water concerns must also be considered. Realtors in Arizona are already selling houses and telling clients – “You realize there is no water source for this home.”

So, here are the recommended US cities, unless you want to move to Greenland where they are using the glacial meltdown for energy. Isn’t that what the orange prez wanted to buy? My goodness, he did have insight into something..

I digress – here they are:

  • Boston
  • Minneapolis
  • Denver
  • States neighboring the Great Lakes – Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin

Have looked into Zillow for Denver. A trailer can be purchased from $70-125,000, however, these are in trailer parks, and lot rent cost adds on to the cost for this housing. Also, unsure if a trailer would survive a tornado, however, according to sources tornadoes in Denver are extremely rare.

Much to consider. Let’s hope electric cars catch on.

Nancy in Trouble

Nancy Pelosi missed the deadline on getting legislation to reign in lawmakers on their stock purchasing. This is a concern as “they” have access to non-public info. She promised us on September 14th, and now congress is taking a breath till November.

November 14th – isn’t that after mid-terms?

Oh, Nancy, that doesn’t look good, especially since your husband is a hedge fund guy. However, since he’s doing a little community service for tipping the sauce and driving perhaps he doesn’t have time to play the stock market??

Before coming across this “dirt” was reading an article which I didn’t quite understand, but now do. It stated to invest in: PelosiETF or CruzETF. Thinking this was an actual fund I checked it out, it isn’t.

Nice to know this is bipartisan.

Sports Figures Aren’t Gods

When I read of the actions of brett favre, an apparent football hero, and how he defrauded the poor in the poorest state in the US, I become ill. And the motivation – to have a better volleyball complex for his daughter to play in? Well, I guess that’s worth risking your reputation, and jail time?

Ole Miss -out $5 million

Why didn’t he just use his own money and donate the complex?

Sports in this country and world have too much power and wield that power to a mesmerized public,

💪

Besides the stadium brett was reimbursed for motivational speeches not given.

Guess that was what his motivation was.

Now, besides criminal charges he’s loosing his additional paychecks from brands, and commentary jobs. He should have just donated the stadium, got his name on the arena, and taken the tax donation.

Makes sense doesn’t it?

He really should have consulted his tax guy.

US Army Falls Short

The Ukraine has applied for NATO admission. If this is accepted, and ratified all NATO forces will be at war with russia.

In the current job market the US Army has fallen short by 25% in recruits this year. Other branches of service are also seeing the same problem. Should we go to war with russia this will be a concern.

Military families receive minimal monetary reimbursement to the point where they have problems feeding their families. Sadly, compensation for service occurs upon departure from service in terms of health care, education stipends, and mortgage benefits to mention a few post-service benefits.

We need to step up and better compensate these folks who sign on OR we will be needing to reinstate a draft.
