HATERS IN AMERICA HAD BETTER LISTEN UP FOR THEIR OWN GOOD!

HATERS IN AMERICA HAD BETTER LISTEN UP FOR THEIR OWN GOOD!
From a Marine:
"If you are paid $25.00 an hour to show up to a rally to "counter" the other party using physical force and violence, you are not a "counter protestor."
 
You are a mercenary.
 
There is no need for further debate on this. You were paid to attack someone you don't know for reasons that you couldn't care enough about to go there for free. You did your "job" and collected your check and your reimbursement of expenses.
 
You're a mercenary.
 
Not a Patriot. Not a Social Justice Warrior. Not a Defender of Freedom or Liberty. Not an upholder of Truth or Justice. None of those things you claim to be.
 
You are a mercenary.
 
And mercenaries are not lawful combatants and deserve whatever comes their way at the hands of the people they are attacking.
 
You have no 1st Amendment rights when you're a mercenary.
 
Doesn't matter what side you're on. Doesn't matter what cause you're showing up to disrupt.
If you can't express yourself peacefully through diplomatic means, then you better be prepared to meet your maker at the hands of someone who is only barely keeping their own violent tendencies at bay through a massive exercise of self-control.
 
I know it sounds romantic to attend these rallies and get shit started with the other side. And when you're young and passionate, it's really easy to get whipped up into a frenzy of raw emotions. There is a reason why young people are preferred when it comes to warfare. They are easy to manipulate and control and set off.
 
But I'm telling you all this right now. You've got no idea what road you are starting down. Romance and idealism wears off really fast when you're laying in a pool of your own blood trying to stuff your intestines back into your torn abdomen.
 
I've been lucky enough to go forty-two years without having to put the skills I learned in the Marines to use. I continue to train and keep those skills up to date because I see the madness that is happening all across this country. I don't train to attack others like you do. I train to defend others FROM you. I'm not alone either.
 
There are thousands of men and women in this country who have seen war and death and don't want anymore to do with it. They want to live in peace. They want to forget the things they've had to do in the service of their country. They want to raise their kids and have family BBQs and build tree houses and soap box derby cars and have tea parties.
 
They don't want this shit that you're selling.
 
You have the extremist left and the extremist right that are doing their best to get something started. To force us into a Civil War. Even in the 1860's, the violence between the North and South was nowhere near what we see today. Nowhere. Even. Close.
 
And yet we still had a war of ideology that consumed hundreds of thousands of lives.
 
All you young and naive kids on both sides of this equation who think that having a Civil War will advance your agenda or restore your vision of what you think is America, just remember this...
Those of us older generations aren't having this shit. And if you jump off, you better be prepared to deal with US. We don't care what color you're wearing or what sign you're holding if you come after us, our friends, our family, our co-workers, our neighbors, etc., WE will kill you. ALL of you.
So remember that when you're thinking that it's just Left vs Right, or Liberal vs Conservative, or Commie vs. Fascist. We are the variable you're not considering.
 
That "Silent Majority" that you pretend does not exist is getting really sick and tired of your bullshit.

Trump and Epstein

 That's Trump and Epstein. Yep. But that's not on the pedo-island. That's at Mar-a-lago. The club that Trump owns. Which was also the ONLY club in Palm Beach that allowed blacks and Jews, and that was only because Trump refused to follow that ordinance. 

 

 
He actually sued the city of Palm Beach for being racist against blacks and Jews. Trump later banned Epstein from the club because he found out Epstein made passes at the 14 yr old daughter of another member, and in 2002 he publicly outed Epstein as a pedophile. Long before Epstein was investigated or charged. 
 
In 2005, all of Epstein's contacts were subpoenaed, except Trump, because he came forward willingly. So, to all of you misinformed dummies, stop trying to use this nasty circle of pedophiles to express your hate for Trump. 
 
Do your research and stop being sheep that see a picture and make up your own story to it. And for God's sake, stop using this sick shit going on, to push your Trump hating agenda. Its pathetic and mindless.

Thursday

In less than 3 months I will be voting, this is what I will vote for.

 I DON’T KNOW WHO WROTE THIS BUT IT IS THE BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE SEEN TO JUSTIFY MY POSITION.

In just three months, it will be over. The U.S. presidential election, I mean. Not the end of the world, but maybe. But maybe the end of our nation, as we have known it. 
 
No I will not be voting for Biden.... I am not voting for a man. I am not rallying for a personality. I am not pushing a person. At this point, I am voting for one thing and one thing only. I am voting for the principles for which this country has stood since it’s founding. I am voting for Constitutional government. I am voting for a strong and viable military.
 
 I am voting for a vibrant economy. I am voting for the right to keep and bear arms. I am voting for the freedom to worship. I am voting for a national recognition of the founding of our nation on Biblical principles. I am voting for the ability for anyone to rise above their circumstances and become successful. 
 
I am voting for my children and grandchildren to be able to choose their own path in life, including how and where their children are educated. I am voting for our borders to be open to everyone who enters under our law and closed to everyone who would circumvent or ignore the law. 
 
I am voting for the Electoral College to remain in place, so that a few heavily populated liberal centers do not control the elections. I am voting for a Supreme Court that interprets the Constitution rather than rewrites it. I am voting to teach history, with all of it’s warts, not erase it or revise it. I am voting for the sanctity of life from conception to birth and after.
 
Now, there are some things I am voting against. I am voting against open borders. I am voting against a rampant welfare system that enslaves it’s recipients. I am voting against socialism, in all of it’s forms, including health care, redistribution, reparations, economics, governmental control, pedophilia, and criminal releases, etc. I would rather pay for prison reform then see the criminals released to repeatedly commit the same crimes!
 
So, although I don’t give blanket approval to everything our President has done or said in the past, I do support him as our president! I am not voting against Joe Biden, but I am voting against every thing that the party backing him and propping him up stands for. It is not the Democratic Party of the past. Three months is all we have.

Lost in a Hotair Balloon

 

A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She lowers her altitude and spots a man fishing from a boat below. She shouts to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consults his portable GPS and replies, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolls her eyes and says, "You must be a Republican!"
"I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answers the balloonist, "everything you tell me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you're not much help to me."
The man smiles and responds, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am, replies the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," says the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault."

The truth about the U.S. Post Office

 

tSphoarnhore 
There have been a flurry of Post Office memes highlighting the elimination of some processing machines, reduction in service, removal of mailboxes, etc. Full blown hysteria has ensued, with conspiracy theories implying or outright accusing a sabotage of the election. The evidence so far is weak for this conspiracy and there are much more reasonable explanations. This post addresses not just this meme, but many similar ones as there are just too many to take on.
-Without context, people think if the entire nation potentially sent in ballots by mail it would be a huge influx to the postal system. But the Post Office processes and delivers 471M mail pieces every day. Even if ALL 140M people voted by mail (the number voting in the last election) and ALL sent their ballots the same day, it would be just 30% of the mail volume for one day.
-The reality is that the PO has had steadily declining volume for decades. The peak was in 2001, when they delivered over 103B pieces of mail. By 2010 that fell to 77.6B, and in 2019 just 54.9B. This reality caused the PO to issue a “5 year plan,” to revamp their system and priorities from FY2020-24. It was published before all this hoopla about COVID and mail-in ballots, and put out by the previous Postmaster General Megan Brennan, not Luis DeJoy which the current conspiracy theories involve.
-The report mentions since 2007 they’ve suffered 13 years of consecutive net losses, totaling $77.8 billion. They expect to run out of liquidity by 2021 if they pay all their financial obligations, and by 2024 even if they continue to default on the lump sum retiree health-benefit and pension related payments.
-In response, they “have reduced the total number of career employees by more than 84,000 by restructuring delivery routes, reducing lobby hours at 13,000 underutilized retail offices, and consolidating mail processing at more than 360 facilities.”
-The report says First Class Mail volumes have declined by more than 40B pieces (43%) since 2007 and Marketing Mail, which comprises the majority of the volume, declined by more than 27B (26%).
-At the same time, the number of delivery points (excluding PO Boxes) increased by 10%, or 12.8M and pieces delivered per delivery point fell by 39%. Approximately 36% of retail locations are retained (as required by law) despite being unprofitable. In 2019 the Postal Service lost about 6.1 cents for every piece delivered and predicted that gap will widen in the future. From the report, “Over the next five years, we expect the number of delivery points we serve to grow by 1 million every year while mail volume will continue to decline and package volume will grow modestly.”
-In other words, they need significant restructuring, as they are supposed to be self-sufficient. While they don’t give a ton of specifics, their 5 year plan envisions “embarking on a broad transformation from operating a fixed processing and transportation network to managing an adaptive domestic and international integrated processing and transportation logistics ecosystem.”
-The one element of their business that has increased is packages, doubling since 2007. The PO sees this, along with “last-mile delivery” as the future. Particularly 2 day package delivery, as most online customers desire their order quickly. While they’ll still provide mail delivery, that’s what the PO is focusing on and adapting their network to serve.
-Part of that means removing old and underused infrastructure, like processing machines or the blue mail drop boxes. Often there are two or more boxes in many locations anyway, but the pictures of them being trucked away without context makes for a good hysterical meme.
-As for slowing down delivery, the USA Today published a fact check where they determined this to be false. The PO claims they aren’t slowing down regular or election mail. If you are concerned or don’t trust them, it might be wise to plan a few more days ahead, but there’s no evidence of any orchestrated scheme to slow down mail. Remember, their total volume has fallen substantially in recent years, and even a huge amount of mail-in ballots won’t change that.
-Trump has been outspoken against mail-in balloting and against more funding for the PO, but has also said he wouldn’t veto a relief bill that included extra PO funding. The PO already received $10B in loans from the CARES Act, and Democrats want another $25B with the HEROES Act. It appears there will be little political will to stop this, and far from being gutted, the PO will likely receive record public funding.

The Spaghetti Affair


SPAGHETTI............A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for several years. One night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided in him that she was pregnant.
Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he would pay her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child.

If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18. She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born.

To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write "Spaghetti" on the back.
He would then arrange for child support payments to begin.One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.
His wife said, "Honey, you received a very strange post card today." "Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it," he said. The wife handed him the card and watched as her husband read the card, turned white and collapsed.

On the card was written: "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with meatballs, one without! Request bread.....
