The Proud Boys, a right-wing extremist group with a violent agenda, played a part in the January insurrection. Along with other patriots many are receiving prison terms for their roles in the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The latest and longest was ground commander Ethan Nordean who received a sentence of 18 years and Dominic Pezzola, who set off the initial breach of the building by smashing a window with a riot shield received 10 years.
After receiving his sentence, Pezzola reportedly raised his fist and shouted, “Trump won,” as he left the courtroom.

Dominic, not that it will help, but you've got some time to rethink that statement.

Singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, who popularised beach bum soft rock with the escapist Caribbean-flavored song Margaritaville and turned that celebration of loafing into an empire of restaurants, resorts and frozen concoctions, has died. He was 76.

Thats another time I've slid into home plate in front of you know who



Now whos a proud boy

The world is run by an aristocracy, no matter what form they say they are. And they hate us peasants. In the 1970s, the DNR in Wisconsin started a thing about floods. They hated the fact that they had to maintain levees and wanted to get anyone at risk off the lands. Mom and dad went to the meetings. The one she mentioned was done by a woman head of the DNR. The plan was laid out what the DNR wanted and thought. At one point mom asked her..so if there is a flood, my hill and the neighbors will be under water. Huh..well.. No..BUT! We would have to send boats to rescue you. Mom said dont try it unless you want to be shot!
Another said if we go under, the county seat town will go first..why not clear them out?...no answer.
Another question about the future of land.. and that B stood there and said by the year 2000 no one will own private land but the government. And it will be massive national or state parks. Of course some wealthy will be granted the ability to build in them.
That woman was lucky she didnt get tarred and feathered.
Look at all the restrictions on public lands. Belongs to the people but you cant go there. Blasted BLM is as bad as the DNR. Can't take that eroded fossil..leave for others. Til it erodes to dust!
The aristocrats want us to live in the feudal system. They sit on their hill in the mansion. We sit below in the villages, rent from them our homes, work for them in their companies, buy from their stores and obey.
Wont sell..OK..then we will burn you out. Flood you out. And blame climate change while hiding the manipulations done to worsen the effects. Meanwhile bring in all the third world poor who will work as slaves and kiss the riches behinds. A democracy needs a slave labor to exist.

Maybe this is what the US needs to stop internal strife.

Every day, I get up and then? Is it old age? Is it the world that things don't matter anymore? Lack of demands on my time? The ability to do what I want, when I want..so do nothing?
My no routine is a routine. That irks me if anyone changes. Wake up at same time give or take a hour or two. Get up, dressed, TV news. Argh..it is Saturday..no news. sigh. Go outside and feed cat herd. Make coffee. And then..what. Could do this. Or that. That needs doing. Should be outside if nice. Why.
Lack of ambition? Lack of interest. Knowledge that when no one else cares? Or that when I am gone, what will change? Or all will change and no matter what I did, won't matter?
I feel like I am just treading water until the end. My I dont give a flock attitude.

To lose one's trust is pretty tough ..in my opinion.

What I mean by that is....I don't trust somebody unless they give me a reason not to trust them.

So, my default mindset toward trust with most people is usually of neutral natural. I don't completely trust them, but I don't completely distrust them.

Normal life interactions usually are construed under these circumstances...meaning, we live day to day life and function quite well with this neutral level of trust. We don't need to assess somebody on a deep level to determine their trustworthiness in order to interact with them on a casual level.

Of course, if somebody sticks a gun in your face and robs you, yes...you should not trust them....and of course, you want to avoid them. Thankfully, I have never had this happen to me ever...and thankfully this does not happen very often.

And of course, before you invite somebody into your house, you should have done a little deeper level assessment of how trustworthy they are. Naturally, if this person is going to be living in your household for even a longer time, you should even be that much more certain of their credibility/trustworthiness.

So, we are starting to explore the nature of trust here.

Now, I was in a relationship where she lost my trust. This loss of trust is the sole reason why I called off our 13 year relationship. 13 years is a long time and a lot of people were effected...not only us as individuals...but her family, my family...and our friends...and many others....because of a loss of trust.

But the day I called off our relationship...I told her "I no longer trust you, and that is not fair for you or fair for me."

What did I mean by that? What I meant by that is that she could have taken 2 minutes longer to go get the mail and suspicion could have arose. Of course this is an extreme example, but none the less, a legitimate example.

This blog has nothing to do about me and my past relationship. That was just an example. This is about trust, the loss of it, and the illness associated with it.

Loss of trust = the illness of suspicion.

What about when a population loses trust in its Gov?

Nietzsche says, when a country loses the trust of its people, that country no longer exist.

The illness of suspicion will breed conspiracy...then maybe wrongful beliefs...then...how ill can things get..

In other words, is there anything a country can do to reclaim trust...or anything anyone can do to reclaim it?

It's never quiet in Trump world. I believe we are up to 3 news stories daily.
Hopefully, we're past the lie about Trump having the power to declassify documents at will. Right?

Let's go with that story anyway and say he declassified documents in his possession at Mar-a-Lago and neglected to over stamp the classified stamp at the top of them. Plausible?

Previous excuses included: I don't have any, I would have returned them if you had asked, The FBI planted them, They're mine, I declassified all of them.

The one detail he forgot is the possession part. It's illegal ( ex-president or not) to have taken them in the first place. Coming up with an excuse of 'I was planning to send them over' reminds me of the guy who was stopped by the police driving around with a kilo of pot in his car. Just as the police are about to arrest him, he blurts out "But officer, I found this pot on the side of the road and was headed to police headquarters to turn it in!"
Get my point?

What else happened? Oh yeah, last week, Donald revealed the FBI spent hours searching through Melania's lingerie. She felt so violated that she could never wear them again (regardless of laundering) and that she had to buy all new underwear.
Is that a tax write-off for the latest fall fashions?

Trump's back on the grifter rally circuit in Pennsylvania and declares war on Biden being an enemy of the state. More on that later...

This week, it's the FBI searching Barron's room. Quoted from one news source he said:
"And even did a deep and ugly search of the room of my 16-year-old son — leaving everything they touched in far different condition than it was when they started. Can you believe it?"

If you ask me... no. That is unless it was specified in the search warrant and I didn't see it listed when I scanned the warrant. Why search the room of a 16-year old kid?
Was he scanning documents for dad. Hmmm...

This weekend I came in contact with a real live Trumpster and a few of my friends asked do you really think he won the election? His reply started with Hunter Biden's laptop. I got the feeling he may be one of CS's bloggers, but I was afraid to ask!
It must have been a close encounter with a Trump Borg having him repeat the same phrases I see here.

I see this as an 'age old' problem, in getting our (old) lawmakers pass new laws that limit the age (or term duration) to members of congress and senate.
That's not likely to happen.

81 year old senator Mitch McConnell had a 2nd 'freeze' in public. He took a fall recently and appears to have other issues. Maybe more blackouts when no one is around?
This morning I read he's been checked out by a doctor and found to be okay.
Okay to who? A complete medical test in 24 hours... I think not.

Dianne Feinstein is 90 and semi-coherent to the point she has to be coaxed to say 'aye' when it's time for a vote.


If they won't vote themselves out of a job... who will?
