Property Tax

The original idea behind taxation, and practically everyone reading this will know what I'm talking about, is the maintenance and construction of shared community structure. The general concept behind those with more land use a little more of this community structure than those without is intentionally vague, as opposed to paying taxes rather than just pitching in to maintain the road or sewage system in front of your home.

Whatever. There's a few holes in this, but that's about the way it started.

These days, several hundred years down the road, the idea is that our elected officials know how to spend our money better than we do, and when they run short of tax money, which they'll do on a regular basis, they just pass a new law demanding more. Except, you know, when the general public gets involved and are asked to pass a new tax levy, generally for the public school system.

The Major Hoax

We've got UFOs, Bigfoot and friends, Mystery virus injections, and now - The President Colludes With The USSR!

Only the USSR collapsed years ago. I'm old enough to remember the Cuban missile crises and how JFK handled it. I also remember that little misunderstanding with old Tricky Dick Nixon which is often referred to as Watergate. Now we thought we had Russia-Gate, but it turns out that maybe we don't.

No maybe about it. No alleged, either.

Minor Rant

Maybe I'm too easily irritated, or maybe I'm a bit too intolerant. I don't think so, but then if I did think so I'd likely change my behavior, wouldn't I?

Happy Double Natural Day

To celebrate Double Natural Day, here are thirteen things the older U.S. citizens want, in no particular order. I didn't write this, I copied it from Dock Treece who got it from someone else.

We're getting old, cranky, and worn out, so here's a list of thirteen things that most older adults want. The list is rated PG.

1. Hillary: held accountable for her past misdeeds. 

2. Put God back in America!

3. Borders: closed and well protected!

4. Congress: in the same retirement and health care plans as everyone else.

5. Congress: Obey your own laws NOW! 

6. Language : English! And by that I mean fluent English that the rest of us can understand without a translator.

7. Culture: Constitution and Bill of Rights! 

8. Drug Free: Mandatory drug detection before and during the enjoying any social services! 

9. Giveaways: NONE for non-citizens! 

10. Budget: Balance the damn' thing! 

11. Foreign countries: Stop giving them our money! 

12. Slots for the Congress.

13. Respect our military, our flag, and our emergency service members!

Feel free to add anything you think I've missed, and thanks for reading.

He Got Epsteined

A colloquialism that will likely makes its way into U.S. English, meaning that a person is officially declared dead by suicide, but was actually murdered by the Federal government or by operatives directed to do so by the wealthiest one-tenth of one percent of the population.

Commercial news media, CNN, CBS, Fox, are all running the same story: Epstein died by suicide (hanged himself while in jail) and there is no client list (meaning a list of guests who visited Epstein Island and enjoyed the hospitality there).

Nuthin' to see here, move along...

Let's Kick the Hornet's Nest

 I went to an escape room in Columbus, OH last week, and the thing that came out to greet us and run the escape room was a shade over six feet, thin build, antique afro hair style, around twenty something years old, and wearing a cocktail dress that might have looked good on Twiggy in the late 1960s.

Keep reading for my personal opinions. If you're some kind of special little snowflake, go elsewhere. You won't make it here.
