I will admit that these are anecdotes, but it’s important to listen to the odd facts that we hear. I have heard some really odd stuff over the past month or so, and I figured that I would let you hear a bit of it. The following stories are all from people that I have known for awhile, and are telling me these things on the condition that I make it generic enough that no one can tell who they are. Believe these stories or not, but I can’t give any links or evidence to support them.

I was speaking with a woman from the Dominican Republic recently. She was explaining to me that dozens of her friends were making money in the USA without ever setting foot in the country. They are going online and setting up internet based bank accounts and then filing for COVID related benefits. She says that some of them have made as much as $20K by filing for benefits without ever having been here in the USA. Think of how much money is going out to these kinds of fraudsters.

Another conversation that I recently had was with a business owner who got a PPP loan of over $300K. He played some paperwork games to make it all look legit, and used the money to buy himself a really nice boat. More like a small yacht. No one has asked a question.

A third recent conversation was when I went to a party recently that was filled with cops. Some FBI, some local cops, really a bit of everything. Most were from families that have been cops for generations. I’ve known several of them for 30 years or so. They are ashamed by the political games being played in Washington. One of the agents I met was a 25 year old female agent who was incredibly intoxicated. I knew her dad back in the day. She was recruited because she looks young. Really young, like maybe 13 or 14 years old kind of young. It was odd tossing back shots with a person that looked like a child. Her job is catching pedos by posing as a young teen. Her story was that too many of her arrests were of people who have enough pull to get out of any charges. She told me that she wants out, because the entire thing creeps her out. Not only the whole dealing with predators, but the fact that so many of them have enough pull to get out of it. We are talking political figures, judges, celebrities, prominent businessmen with important connections, that kind of thing.

Disturbing news from the Navy. The Russian navy is conducting exercises involving 140 ships. Nearly all of its Navy is at sea, including an amphibious task force comprised of 7 landing ships left the Baltic a week ago. This task force is capable of putting an entire brigade on the beach. It’s important to note that they are sailing without their AIS transponders active.

The current occupant of the Oval Office is going to blunder us into a national disaster in order to improve his poll numbers.

Just last week, I posted about a woman in Orlando who was attacked by a bear. Well, it happened again, this time in Daytona.

The 9th Circuit ruled that the closing of gun stores as “nonessential” during the 2020 lockdowns was unconstitutional. I expect the state will request an en banc ruling, and they will overturn it.

Florida has a law prohibiting vaccine mandates in the workplace. The Orange county government has ignored that law. Now it looks like our governor has suspended the director of the Orange county health department for that reason.

A dad in Russia discovers that his best friend has been raping his 6 year old daughter. He then makes the pedo dig his own grave. He likely won’t do any time. I support this.

The fastest growing metro area in the country is The Villages, a retirement community just north of Orlando, Florida. The Villages is hated by the left with a passion. Why?

The Villages is a major contributor to the Republican party, and is a reliable source of both votes and campaign contributions. This can’t stand, so of course the left is going to target the area, claiming that the community isn’t diverse enough. So they claim that many retirees aren’t racist like those evil conservatives in The Villages:

They recognize that ageism will not be defeated by a retreat to age-segregated corners, but only by engagement, collaboration and dialogue across age, race and class divides. 

I’ve been to The Villages. The people there are active, with many retirees out running, biking, and swimming. The fact that people are out living healthy, happy lives without some lefty busybody out there controlling every facet of it just pisses them off.

Clearly, The Villages residents must find meaning and joy in their lives. But many of us feel a need for more — sharing a thirst for new ways to learn, work, serve and transform our later years. We want to live in diverse, multi-generational communities, remain engaged and contribute to a better future for the generations ahead.

Whatever.

I surely thought that the Russians would have invaded by now. US intelligence thinks soon, though.

Now the left is coming after your gas stove.

A company is now marketing a so called “smart gun” that won’t fire unless the hand holding it is wearing a ring with an RFID chip in it.

• What about off handed shooting?
• What do you do if someone breaks in at 2 am? Put on the ring? Or wear it all night?
