humming birds .... wheat harvest .... doves cooing .....i pity you slickers ....

looking out my bathroom in the early morning i am likely to see the bunnies eating my neighbor's attempt at green beans, and the local humming birds visiting the last remnants of my lilies, and basking in the sound of the doves cooing from the local high spots, trees, pecker poles, rough tops, it makes no difference to them.

wheat harvest is underway.  combines cut and thresh the wheat, and big diesels haul it to the elevators.   giant  balers swoop down upon the straw, and popping out 1100 lb. bales at a prodigious rate, leaving the fields covered with a short slick stubble.

not the bustle of the old days, when large crews of men did the work now done by giant machines  ....   the old wooden boat, steel men saying.   and, all that.   still and all, there is a certain romance in men and women harvesting the bounty of the growing season.

the apples are starting to color and put on size, and soon they will be harvested, and the walla walla valley will settle into a more leisurely pursuit , of the tourist dolor, at the tasting rooms and wine cellars.   years ago a sophisticated lady these parts dressed in creased blue jeans and white linen shirts, nowadays they wear slinky dresses and are oh so very sophisticated.   it all reminds me of the old joke about " ... not knowing how to spell sophisticate, and now i are one."

oh, well, times change.

sometimes i pity you slickers, caught up in your b.l.m. and riot pursuits.   i wouldn't worry about it much, enjoy the sound of breaking plateglass, and the crackle of flames.   your collectivist chains will sit lightly on your shoulders, and your burdens will decrease in time, as the revolution devours its own.   it always does.   ask robespierre.  and, trotsky, and the provisional soviets.   read emma goldman, describing the delights of the bolsheviks, as they ate their former allies.  ice picks in the eyeballs, anyone?

p.s.  somebody told me this morning about a faculty senate proposing that their university kick out any professor (and/or student, presumably) they label as a racist.   let the fun begin.   it will devolve into a power brawl.  no rage, like the rage of sissies. 

if a.o.c./dimmo's are willing to sell your jobs, your families down the river ....

if a.o.c. & the dimmo's are willing to sell you, your jobs, your families, your country down the river to obtain power, what will they be willing to do in order to retain their power and their positions.

and, if they disarm you, and remove the institutions of the civilian police, who is going to protect your from antifa, and the b.l.m. thugs, and their leftist cohorts?   you have seen what the thugs and the rioters have done in michigan, minnesota, florida and new york city/state, where leftist politicians done nothing to protect property and persons from the rampages of the left.

who will protect you from the left?   who will protect you from a.o.c. and the dimmo's and the leftists?

well, no one, to be exact about it.   think about it.

p.s.   buy guns.   buy ammo.   learn to be proficient in their use.   and, make the further intellectual and personal decision that you will do what is necessary to protect yourselves, and your families, and  this country from these power hungry thugs.   my friends, there is very little to hide behind, and very little to protect you from the consequences of a lack of resolve.

a.o.c./dimmo's willing to scuttle the economy to win the election ....

as far fetched as it may seem to some (who suspect no skullduggery in electoral politics), a.o.c. and the dimmo's are willing to scuttle the economy, and to sacrifice your jobs and well being, in order to get donald trump from the white house.

a screen shot of a.o.c.'s "thought processes" as work.

 

 

 

 

there you have it.   she and the dimmo's, with the connivance of a few dimmo governors, are willing to sell you down the river for their own self interests.   i live in the northwest of the u.s.a., and oregon's kate brown and jay inslee of washington, intend precisely to follow a.o.c.'s "plan."

simple as that.   and, despicable as that.

covid-19 will live until election day, and then ....

covid-19 will live until election day, and then it will disappear as a media driven epidemic.   the next day.   that is, if joe biden is elected president.   all mention of it in the "news" will disappear, and though a very unlucky soul or two might die of it, it will be as a victim of a vanishing novel strain of the flu, and will garner little or absolutely no notice.

it will be a thing of the past, and any lingering presence shall be ephemera.  not to worry over.

if, on the other hand, donald trump is re-elected, even if decided upon by the public as something of little,  concern, the media will endeavor to evoke hysteria, if they can, and dimmo governors will cite it as a basis for "emergency powers," mostly to bulwark pelosi's further attempts at impeachment.

we'll see.    bets?

p.s.  in the meantime, hermiston watermelons are in season, and i have the remains of one in the fridge, soon to be devoured.  ummers.

protest .... no. 2 ....

as a general rule, by the time that protest is allowed in a society, the condition protested has just about absolutely disappeared.

now, blm & the antifa protest unlawful police shootings of blacks.   the deaths protested may or may not represent "racism," but the legitimacy of this protest is blunted by the fact that whites are killed unlawfully by the police as well.   so, while persons of color and whites are killed, the assertion that killings reflect institutional racism is open to real question  ....  on the facts.

just sayin'.

p.s.   and, just what does "spontaneous" destruction of property while on george soros's payroll have to do w/ racism at all?  it is just european style low level revolution to install socialism, an attempt to make the u.s. a marxist state.   (it's the long standing euro leftist dream of long standing, btw.)   and, that's the truth, plain & simple, and unvarnished.

protest ....

protest what?

those humans who live today are the most favored human beings to ever live.   the latest charade with covid-19 aside, disease by infection or virus is extremely rare, no wars comparable to wwi or ww2 currently rage, and africa seems relatively free from violent death inflicted by humans upon humans.

(the middle east is the middle east, but given the natural incompetence of the arabs/muslims who inhabit the region, and isreal's ability to defend itself, the blood letting there is rather minimal, for at least the time being.)

as for material wealth, there has never been more world wide, and the phrase "developing world" fades toward obsolescence.  in the western hemisphere, mexico and south america flourish, except for the "socialist paradise" which is venezuela.   the united states has one of the most equitable societies ever in history, the "criticism" of socialists idiots in the universities aside, and anyone who fails in the u.s. does so on his own efforts & merits, or lack thereof.

black lives matter?   all lives matter.   but, the black lives matter movement has nothing to do with racial equality, except for sloganeering and the playing of the race card, and is an ill-disguised movement seeking to impose socialism on the society.  you don't think so?   well, guess where the money comes from to pay for the protest.--  were george soros dragged into the streets to have justice imposed, black lives matter as a social movement would dry up and be blown away by the winds of change.

black lives matter is just the democratic party electioneering, nothing less, and little more.  (and reveals the dimmos abject cynicism.  period.  end of paragraph.)

jobs are up.   incomes are up.   prosperity is shared, as is opportunity.

so, what is all the violence and bitching about?  little more than a demonstration that one can carry on in this country, and destroy property and lives like an ill tempered brat elephant, without being properly shot for it.  (oh, heavens, did i say that?)

so, again, i ask.   what's to protect?

get a job, for christ's sake, and work for the long term.   you will succeed, at some level.
