"Going To" and "About To"

When I was supervising crews, some of the standard answers were "I was going to" or "I was about to". I'd watch a new equipment operator crawl into the cab of a machine that cost a half million dollars and ask a question I already knew the answer. "Have you checked out the machine?" They were reaching for the key, when I would ask, and I knew they had no intention of checking the oil, other fluids, and greasing the zerts on the machine. The answer was "I was going to", or "I was about to." It was a standard answer, and indicated my trust would need to be earned, or they would soon need to find a new employer. 

That's were we are as a country. All the new hires have the same answer, and if they think there's any trust, there isn't any at this time. The Clintons are still free, illegal voting is still occurring, the grift is still strong in some states, the debt is growing like mushroom in crap, after a rain, the "deep state" is still muddying the water, judges are still ignoring the Constitution, aliens are still roaming at will, the autopen is still in charge of many important actions, and the media is still cheerleading some of the worst reprobates in history.  It's time for things to happen, and if Trump doesn't know this, he only has three more years to insure someone is checking the machine before the engine starts knocking.

Understanding the Wheels of Justice

The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine....or so it's written. If it was a grist mill, the amount of corn being turned into corn meal wouldn't keep a rat alive. Somewhere, in the preponderance of justice, most all attorneys, judges, and prosecutors forgot justice isn't served if those harmed are bankrupted, or die of old age before justice happens.

More of the Same

The Clintons are choosing to ignore a Congressional subpoena. So what will happen? Complaining, plenty of posturing, and nothing. In a perfect society, neither would still be here.  

How Much is Enough?

While there isn't an amount reported, it is reported some of the protesters/agitators in major cities are being compensated for their time. It make me wonder how much is enough to get people to endure the weather, spend their time protesting something they don't understand, and create problems that only make their position less tenable. When the most ignorant decide to partake in throwing things, or burning something, there is real danger involved, and with all mobs, the least that can happen is to be injured by those trying to run from the police, or a dangerous situation. 

I don't know what the amount is, but know it's not enough. Push too hard, trigger that final nerve on someone you've frightened, and the result will be some small projectiles much deadlier than the asphalt found on the edge of the pavement. Regardless, when it becomes bad enough, some citizens will take to their roofs with weapons, fire on the mob with impunity, and there will be nobody to collect the money promised for being stupid. 

A Special Brand of Dumbassery

 From reading some news reports, Governor Tim has basically declared war against the United States. When that was tried in the middle of the nineteenth century, there were a lot more people on board with the idea, but the outcome wasn't good. Even if he managed to get a substantial amount of Minneapolis to back him up, I doubt he could get even 1% of the citizens outside the city to join his side. Calling in the National Guard to keep the peace while the protestors continue preventing ICE from doing the job of removing illegal aliens is a foolish wish. The name "National Guard" doesn't describe Governor Tim's personal armed force because he decided to put on a crown. How do I know? It's the word "national". That doesn't describe "state" or "personal security". 

So, my suggestion at this time is to cut to the chase, announce insurrection, secure the state records before Governor Tim burns them all up, and start the prosecutions. Does that sound harsh? Of course it does. Harsh is something people like lying, pieces of crap politicians understand. I almost would pay for a video of them frog walking Tim Walz into jail.
