Off by 44 Days

In December, I said that Russia would start a war within 30 days. Turns out, I was off by 44 days. I am almost as good as the CIA, but at a fraction of the budget. I can increase my accuracy for a couple of billion. In small bills, please. I also promise not to try and overthrow the US government.

I don’t understand why Biden is upset by what Russia is doing. After all, the Russians are just looking for a better place to raise families. Borders are racist, after all.

Thanks for Waking Me Up

Last night, a police officer in a town more than 150 miles away from me was injured in a shooting. At midnight, the police decided to send out a cell phone alert, called a “Blue Alert,” to everyone within several hundred miles of the crime. Why? Who knows?

I had just completed 13 hours of work in the Emergency Room. I was due back at work in only eight hours. (Working for two different departments leads to odd hours.) So I was deep asleep when this stupid shit woke me up. Why do over the 20 million people that live in Florida need to know about a crime that took place in a county with a population of only 22,000 people?

Amber alerts, Silver Alerts, Blue Alerts, Gray Alerts, and whatever other alerts the authorities send out are ridiculous.

The Market Will Adjust

New York state is proposing a law that will essentially make all evictions illegal. In other words, communism stage one.

There is one glaring way out. The law only applies to owners of 5 or more rental units. We’re I an owner of a building with more than 5 units, I would form multiple real estate investment corporations, and sell units to them so that each corporation owns no more than 4 units.

Now get out.

Why It Matters.

Imagine that you own a chain of gun stores in Missouri. You are selling about $4 million a year in firearms, where it is completely legal to do so. That would be awesome.

Now let’s say that the government has managed to get all of the local banks and credit card companies to refuse doing business with you, so you are forced to hire an armored car company to transport the proceeds from your cash sales. They pick up the cash in Missouri, and transport it across Illinois to Tennessee.

Now selling guns is illegal in Illinois, so the cops pull over your armored car and confiscate all of your cash. $700,000 of it. Then a week later, they do it again.

That is why I am upset by what is happening in Kansas and California. I don’t care if pot is legal or not, there are rules for searching and seizing property, and this ain’t it. There are two Amendments to the Constitution that say this shouldn’t be happening. But it is.

Amendment 4
– Protection from Unreasonable Searches and Seizures

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.

Amendment 5
– Protection of Rights to Life, Liberty, and Property

No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.

The rights protected by the Constitution aren’t only rights for people that I happen to agree with. They are for everyone. Someone doesn’t lose those rights merely because another person has accused them of being a lawbreaker, even if the accusation is being made by a cop or other government official. ESPECIALLY if that accusation is being made by a cop or other government official.

The Pin Up Girl Who Helped Win a War

I recently met a woman with the most amazing life story. A truly remarkable woman with an incredibly interesting tale to tell. I spent over two hours listening to her as she told this story to me. Her name is Audra, and this is her story.

When Audra turned 16 years old, she decided to run away from the boarding school that she called home. With a Greyhound bus ticket in one hand and her bags in the other, Audra was to Chicago. When she arrived, it was to discover that America was at war. The date was December 7, 1941.

Chicago was known as the pulse of America, but Audra found it to be the pulse of her story. She found opportunity there after she became a showgirl in a high-class dinner nightclub, where Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra performed. She was the opening act for both of them.

She told me how “Frank and Dean” used to pinch her on her bottom, and she would turn and gently slap them while wagging a finger at them.

She soon moved on to support the war effort by becoming an inspector for the seats on fighter aircraft that were being manufactured in Chicago’s Chrysler factory. If the seat passed inspection, she stamped her initials onto them.

While working for Chrysler, Audra entered a company beauty contest competing for the “Blonde Bomber B-29” title. Coming in first place, she made headline news and became a “pinup girl.” She actually became one of the women used as nose art on American bombers.

After learning about the contest, a fighter pilot reached out to Chrysler requesting a picture of Audra “Miss Blonde Bomber.” The contest picture was soon sent to him and he pinned it up in his cockpit. When the war ended and the plane was returned, officials found Audra’s picture still hanging in that aircraft. Coincidentally, that aircraft’s seat had her initials stamped on it as one that she had inspected.

Audra eventually became a trained machinist’s assistant and in the tail end of the war had a job grinding valves for the engines of B-29s. So it was that in 1945, one of her valve sets was used in one of the first Silver B-29 bombers, one bearing the serial number of 44-86292. She was considered the aircraft’s good luck charm, and even though the aircraft didn’t bear her name, her picture was carried to war, pinned to the inside of the lower cabin.

That B29 was named by its pilot. The plane was named the Enola Gay.

That fighter pilot who carried her picture as he sat in the seat that she had inspected? After the war, he searched for her until he found her. They were married, and Audra became a June Taylor dancer. For the next five years, Audra appeared on shows like Jackie Gleason’s “Toast of the Town.”

After five years, she left the dance troupe to raise the first of the couple’s three children. She remained married to that fighter pilot for 44 years, until his death more than 30 years ago.

It was a real honor to get to know this incredible woman and hear her larger than life story. That entire generation is filled with truly incredible Americans. Sadly, that generation is dying off, and with them, so is this nation.

Agents Provocateur

There is an old saying: How do you spot the Fed or the police informant? He is the one urging you to break the law.

There are some people who have been emailing, posting, and commenting that seem eager to get some sort of incriminating statement from others. Just last week, one of them was dumb enough to post from an IP that traces back to a Federal Law enforcement office in the DC area. For Christ’s sake, the Feds can’t even afford to spoof an IP?

No one here is going to tell you about how they are plotting violence, or how they are flouting the law. This blog is being run in the public eye. I am not stupid enough to be locked up in a cell without bail, getting beaten every day while I await a trial that isn’t going to happen.

Anyone who has been paying attention to the J6 people know that the Feds operate by getting you to say inflammatory, illegal things and then framing you.

No thanks. Go try that stuff somewhere else.
