Is A Rose Really A Rose?

Is a rose really a rose? Alex Jones’ recent custody battle revealed several issues that we have been contending with for years. Divorce is always a difficult situation. Marriage is a difficult situation. A man must bet half his stuff that he's going to totally love a woman for the rest of his or her life. When we see cases where this works out its beautiful, unfortunately new models come along year after year, and as you know if a man test drives one the old model loads up half his stuff, and the kids and heads out. Happened six times to me. (Those were my surprised faces.)
Compound this with being in the entertainment industry, and don't be jellyfish about it, Infowars is entertainment. ALL broadcast news is entertainment, including me, the only question being how much is entertainment, and how much is actual news. Now you can stick you pointy nose in the air and call Alex a fraud, a charlatan, or conspiracy nut, whatEVER, fact remains the his fact/entertainment mix runs a little better than the main stream media, and if you think I'm wrong, just check out the ABC, CNN, or MSNBC polls the day BEFORE Hillary forgot to give her concession speech. Alex Jones, and yours truly predicted President Trump a year before! I think it's our Texas accents, but I'm just a simple ol’ boy from Austin, so what do I know?
So, now comes the former Mrs Jones, with council, to drag Alex through the Family Court mud, trying to use his radio persona as a measure of Alex Jones the father, the jury pivots this way or that, and we get the usual topsy-turvey decision we always get when twelve strangers try to get involved in someone’s personal business. Of course the jurors NEVER heard of Alex, and absolutely do NOT have a pre-formed opinion. If you believe that horse manure I still have that bridge for sale and I'm making it a two for one Sunday special.
All news outlets are biased. No one is “fair and balanced.” Case in point, Fox News. When the walls came tumbling down recently it was apparent that internally Fox News was more corrupt, more sexist, and more racist than the Ku Klux Klan. To top that off, the management had the backbone of a rather mature tadpole, folded and ran in two days as the liberal press peeled the skin off Bill O’Rielly’s back. Bet he don't ever order hot chocolate again, huh?
Back in the day we KNEW Clint Eastwood had never shot anyone. We kinda hoped John Wayne hadn't, but we weren’t quite sure, but all in all the general population had a reasonable grip on reality, all but Vietnam, but that's another story. This present day finds us not only with the news services grinding out “Infotainment” but anyone with WiFi competing on the open market grinding out anything they may think relevant to the situation. WWIII is always a big hit. Some fat kid in North Korea fires off a bottle rocket and the internet lights up with dire prediction of breaking news. Is a rose really a rose? It depends where the rose is. If the rose is in its home garden, sure, it's a rose. If it's on the air, or in family court, it's anybody’s guess. I guess roses smell different in Travis County than they do in Hays county.

Pass The Pipe

Obviously, Russia, ISIS, Iran, Assad and Korea are continuing to  pass the pipe. The strike in Syria didn't draw a line in the sand, it blew it up! One by one, sane minds are coming to the logical conclusion that the only way to get a bully out of the school yard is to knock him down.  Leaders in Korea, Iran, and Syria are still talking crap, and they're not brushing their teeth.

Obama was a weak president, and a closet, or not so closet Muslim. Between his indecision and Susan Rice’s misinformation it's a miracle that Putin is not living in the White House. I think it's highly symbolic when Obama left office that he also left the country to a place with a non-extradition situation. Y'all didn't notice that, huh?

Now, before the more liberal faction gets their thong in a knot, let me enlighten you. Putin is not going to WWIII over Assad. North Korea doesn't have, by the way, anywhere NEAR the nuclear capability of ONE US Navy carrier group, and EVERYONE hates ISIS up to and including Saudi Arabia, and the Saudis are dirt bags, too.

America is back! Don't pass the pipe. My friend, C. J. Grisham had a rally in Houston last week to protest a city ordinance forbidding carrying an American Flag on a staff because it looked like a weapon. C. J. fastened his flag to a rifle, and was allowed to wave the flag he defended in Iraq! A pro-police author was shouted down in California by students, who had to leave for her own safety as WHITE students were supporting Black Lives Matter. By the way, as the Trump administration shuts down sanctuary cities California became a sanctuary STATE! Pass the pipe to governor Brown please.

Well, times they ARE a changing, and as real Americans become more emboldened this bizzaro world will go away, and yeah, yeah, yeah, we’re a bunch of rednecks, yeah, yeah, yeah, we have a president who looks like us, and yeah, yeah, we don't want gay people in our little girl’s bathroom! Get over it! Remember that pendulum I've been telling you about for four years? Well, it just swung all the way to the right, Trump grabbed it, and held it there, and like McDonald’s, I'm LOVING it! Pass the pipe some more, idiots!

Bada Bing Bada BOOM!

Bada Bing Bada BOOM! Any time some tin horn raghead in some third world country can thumb his nose at the entire world, use weapons that we hung Nazis for using, and have two super powers going toe to toe over him it's time to launch fifty-nine missiles and clear his sinuses out! The attack last night set the world order back in order. Putin has positioned himself on the world stage almost entirely by his actions in Syria. Shucks, even I cheered the Russians on when we got that picture of that pedophile dead in the back of a pickup wearing only a thong. You see, back then we didn't have a president . . . we have one now.

For all the pomp and circumstance the Russians could not beat ISIS, or the rebels, but they did pretty good at looking the other way while Assad gassed children with chemicals that were SUPPOSED to be WAY on the other side of Obama’s red line. Those pictures hit the internet and within forty-eight hours, Bada Bing Bada Boom! I think it's highly symbolic that Trump is from New York.

Of course the Russians decried the move, saying it broke international law, but President Trump isn't about to tarnish this beautiful action with useless legality. Isn't it funny that the Russians always cite international law when they get pushed back? These are the same guys who invade countries just because.

The action was surgically executed. When you see the pictures flowing out of Syria, indeed, it’s hard to see where the bombs fell. The Russians got an eviction notice about an hour before the party commenced, and in a brilliant stroke they decided to step out for a vodka. Of course the democrats will chime in with their slant, but children getting gassed doesn't move people who want an abortion clinic on every street. The fact remains, America turned on a dime last night, World War III did NOT erupt, and Assad might need to shop his resumé around. Now, what to do about that fat kid in North Korea? Bada Bing Bada Boom!

To Mask or Not To Mask

To mask or not to mask, that is the question. The one thing to know is, yet again, Trump was right, he WAS being surveilled. This is my surprised face. Remember when I told you that if we know the NSA, and every other gumshoe in Washington is watching us, and listening to every one of our phone calls, for someone to say the Obama White House has nothing to do with anything like that was just about the stupidest thing to come rolling out of there since Bill Clinton forgot who ate pizza with him that night. Matter of fact, since I've been able to read I haven't heard any of those guys tell the straight of it yet!

Enter Susan Rice with all the double talk we’ve all become accustomed to. And just what is “unmasking?” Well, as near as I can figure it's the finking out a fink. The fink strikes a deal and goes blabbermouth, and when they run out of blabber they get thrown out in the street in their underwear. Then, there are leaks. You'd think the freaking government would be at least as secure as say, the Hell’s Angels, now wouldn't you? And at least as fiscally sound as a crack house. Well, they're not! And just who is Susan Rice? Why she's the genius who blames Benghazi on a poorly edited YouTube video. That's right! Remember that? All them there ragheads was all pent up over a flick. Rice completely forgot all them guns they were running all over creation. Of course Hillary was not involved. She was too busy resetting the password on her Yahoo mail so she could send a few more classified documents to eHarmony! Millions voted for her! Millions voted for the Black Knight . . . TWICE! And you wonder why Donald Trump doesn't fit up there.

It's accepted that black people can dance, and Susan Rice is shuffling along pretty good right now. Fox News is drilling down on this. The Main Stream Media is still looking for Russians. Alternative media has so eclipsed the MSM I'm amazed they can still pay the bills anymore. Rice IS a big story and they act as if it never happened. And a lot of YOU PEOPLE still depend on them for news. Yeah, I really said that, and you know who you are.

Well, welcome to Trump America. The judge will be confirmed, the wall will be built, taxes will go down, and kids will come out of school and WILL have a job waiting because companies will come home and hire them. The future gets brighter every day for middle America. Well all but Susan’s future, because judging by his track record, Donald Trump is about to be on her like white on rice. Get it, white on rice. I KILL me!

I Think Trump Will Pull It Off

I think Trump will pull it off! Somewhere between the Russians, healthcare and Paul Ryan, Donald Trump sits in a whirlwind of political activity. It's all new to him. He is used to a streamlined, productive organization, with energetic people, single minded, with the success of the organization, and its goals firmly in mind; everything the government is NOT!

As Paul Ryan rearranged the deck chairs on the Obamacare Titanic, Trump took the pulse of the gay men’s club, referred to lovingly as Congress, peed on the fire, and called in the dogs. He was NOT beaten! Healthcare is not complicated, it's just that Obamacare has it so screwed up that it's hard to unscrew it. Remember how back in the day when we had the “clap,” and one shot of penicillin would take care of it, then along about the eighties or so we got “super clap?” Well, that's Obamacare!

Trump pulled back, took a breath and suggested working with the democrats. Everyone’s butt fell off. Can you imagine? The very idea of a president engineering a coalition of republicans and democrats in order to make America great again. Both sides of the isle quickly understood that such an idea would never work. The only thing these guys and gals have agreed on in the last eight years is Trans-gender restrooms.

But, I think Trump will pull it off. The art of the deal is just that, the ART of the deal! The ability to bind minds together in common purpose for the good of the whole. It's time we all came together and put America first. That's not racist friends and neighbors. Just this weekend, in a telephone call with the Prime Minister of Australia, THAT man said his main interest is Australia while he tried to shove a bunch of so-called “refugees” up our butts, and got MAD when Trump suggested checking them for gunpowder on their hands. Now, I'm just a simple old boy from Austin, but these people are too wild for Australia, and they want to ship them HERE! Did I miss something here? And, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a racist, but I took a look at the numbers of people streaming in from “anywhere” in Africa as compared to, say, Denmark? You think?

But, I think Trump will pull it off. He jumped on this horse, and didn't make eight this time. He’ll out more grip on his glove next time. What is going to make it work is in spite of the dysfunctional government the PEOPLE proved on November 8, that MOST of the voting machines still work, and George Soros simply doesn't have the money to hire enough protestors or get Hillary into rehab, and when it's all said and done President Trump WILL “make the 8,” leap from the saddle, tipping his “Make America Great Again” hat to the American people! Yeah, I think Trump will pull it off. Remember you heard it here first.

Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast. The story of Ted Cummings, and Elizabeth Thomas is an old one. A man in mid life crises being attracted to a young girl is not the most surprising thing in the world. Of course there is revulsion, and cries of pedophilia, but that's not what's in play here. This is a man grasping for his youth by enticing a girl, who while may be physically well grown, is not mentally equipped to understand the situation at all. He's looking for a “new beginning” and she just moved from dolls to high school crushes. This is a recipe for disaster.

Social norms adjust from place to place, indeed from era to era. When Chuck Berry recorded “Sweet Little Sixteen” the “coming out” of a young girl on the eve of womanhood was a recognized red letter day, with the understanding that she would need a bit more time to “learn the ropes” before she took her place in society, that place in the 50’s being a wife and mother. The young man she would marry would be honing his skills to be the provider as she kept house, raised the kids, and if all went well, the grandkids.

Still, you must ask why does a man of that age become entangled with a teenage girl? There is no common ground, no future, and no hope. As the last nine days have played out I've watched. At first it was called a kidnap crime, but released Facebook items have shown that it was a full blown romance between a starry eyed girl and an old fool. The girl IS endanger when you realize that when Cummins dreams and life comes crashing down around his ears he will turn on her as the primer of his delusional view of life.

I take a young man to work every morning. When I drop him off, and start home, there is a pretty girl sitting, waiting on a bus to take her to high school. I can see her backpack filled with books. I stop at the light, she smiles, I smile. I think, “Oh, to be young again,” but I'm not, and she is, and her gift to me is a pleasant smile, perhaps a nod, and my wishing her a good day at school, and a happy life. Cummins has robbed Beth of all that. He has thrust her helter skelter into an adult world when she should have been talking with her BFF about the best looking boy on the football team.

So what's his plan? I mean we all know they can't just settle down somewhere. Well, I'm an expert at that, having at twenty eloped with my seventeen year old girlfriend. . . to Mexico! I've watched as he headed south from Tennessee, and presumably west at Alabama. Back in the day we went to Mexico. We ventured forty miles into the country, swore allegiance to the Mexican flag, and were married. When we returned to the states her father gave as an American wedding. Some differences here. For one, the age span between us was only about three years. Two, we were able to return and live a fairly normal life. Finally, I don't even know if the laws are the same, and he could end up in a Mexican jail and she . . . well, gringo girl, alone, Mexico?

This will end badly for him, but begin badly for a young lady who is scarred for life. Only when he is captured, and looks into the faces of his grandchildren will he come to realize the cost of his actions.  We should all pray for Elizabeth's return, but no amount of prayer will return her to innocence. Cummins took that, and left it in a motel somewhere. Beauty and the Beast? It will be beauty that kills the beast!
