My idea this week is to further solidify what caused me to change parties. I ran across a short video from the delightful ‘Rachelle the neuroscientist’ that gave me some valuable insight into my (our) ‘gray matter’. She explains something I sensed that our ‘clump of decisions we make’ get inextricably wrapped around our personal identity.
This is one reason today we have so many blooming identities (See what I did there?). With the encouragement of the adults both at school and in many misguided homes we are nurturing a form of insanity. At first you may reject this as a discordant factoid but why are we redefining are norms and coloring way outside the lines of textbook sanity?
Was mental health built on a flawed foundation? Does it make sense to you that a Supreme Court Justice cannot define a woman? I would think it is vital that every judge should have a rock-solid definition of man and woman, or justice could get very sloppy. Should a functioning male body be housed in a female prison? Should a functioning female body be in male prison cells?
Kamala Harris is in full support of free transgender surgery for inmates? Just as the Biden-Harris administration not only removed all deterrents, (walls, river buoys, wait in Mexico…) they added perks, (free cell phones, free air and bus trips to your preferred destination, debit cards charged up with a few grand, and 4-5 Star accommodations until your permanent housing is ready…) causing a record breech of our southern border.
Her putting biological males and females in the same cells and offering free sex-change operations will surely invite a spike in crimes. Hit a cop, get a free op!(eration) If this is not insanity, I want off of this planet. Elon, please book me on the first flight to a saner world!
I look deeply inward and don’t think I will ever embrace these new ‘norms’. I don’t think I have any discordant factoids; I think they are all on the other side of this issue. My historical research goes back hundreds of years, (I have documented it in previous articles here in my Substacks); I have come to the conclusion that one party found strength in using people. They kneel ceremoniously wearing tribal garb, all their assistance comes in the form of bills carefully measured with just the right length of stick and string to suspend that carrot always barely out of reach.
They became the ‘super-party’ for the downtrodden. Those poor victims, (in more ways than one) were used over and over and over and over, (way more, but you get the idea) giving that party almost invincible strength from local communities, to state, federal, all the way up the chain to Presidents!
But their super-party has a ‘kryptonite’ that would destroy their iron grip on these people. Success is their kryptonite! If the stick breaks, or they measure the string too short, or the carrot is too big, BAM! It’s over. Donald Trump is their kryptonite because, he is a businessman, and they fix problems!
Donald sees the carrot on the stick and is ready to give those generational victims shots at success! If he opens that floodgate, it will end a reign of over two hundred years. That is why so many embedded swamp creatures outwardly were cheering for an accurate bullet, out loud! Trump is not a perfect man, but he is perfect for our leadership right now!
I am not sure what will happen when that party collapses. I guess they will rebuild a platform considerably more central, closer to where they were thirty years ago, but with no carrot on a stick? I don’t want to destroy an American party, but I want both sides to be working for permanent solutions.
Right now, one party is giving lots and lots of free fish. They know you will vote them back in for more free fish. Donald Trump wants to teach you all how to fish. Remember he is a businessman, not a politician, so it is no skin off of his nose when everyone moves upward. Only those gaining a living from feeding you fish will be hurt.
Those that kneel pretentiously and only give funding to one-parent families and only until they almost get on their feet, then jerk it away so they will need more assistance. It is a nasty game they have been playing for centuries, and it is just about to come tumbling down.
Some will see this a hate-filled language, but I know I am way more compassionate for my goal is to help every able-bodied American have the opportunity to carve out their piece of the American dream. I am willing to give money to any program that fixes a problem, not just perpetuates it.
Someone on X (back when it was still Twitter) challenged Elon to give 40-billion to end world hunger. They obviously didn’t do the math! For roughly the price Elon paid for Twitter he would be giving every poverty-stricken person a single family-sized meal from McDonalds, (about 36 bucks).
I have explored ways to help world hunger. It is not inviting 1.1-billion people into our country (currently at under 350 thousand). It is not throwing money at their feet. Elon knew that an openly challenged anyone to show him how that money would end world hunger, and he would pony up. No one did.
Solutions come from plans, not bills allocating funds. Those bills are carrots on sticks. You plan first and only allocate when you know that plan will work. Trump knows that. Any businessman or businesswoman knows that; it is the swampy politicians that don’t want you to ever find that out. Are you going to vote for a real solution? Leave me a comment.
Sweeeet ..... But short maybe not so much
