That dumbass Kim Jong-un from North Korea is once again talking shit about using his nuclear weapons. Talk about someone with penis-envy.
Used to be, the only time you fucked with the United States of America was if you had a death wish.
Then we got cocky and imperialistic.
Vietnam 1 USA 0.
I am not against anyone trying to make a better future for themselves and their families, but as my stepfather used to preface many of our “talks” when I was a young man, “there is a right way and there is a wrong way.”
The right way is coming to your new destination with a mindset of achieving your goals through honest, hard work.
Going to school.
Earning your citizenship.
Paying your taxes.
The wrong way includes the few criminals that have their own agenda. You need to understand that the world does not owe you a living. Neither does the United States.
That goes for existing American citizens. You have the legal rights and protections afforded by the Constitution because it means something to be an American citizen.
At least it used to.
Welcome to America.
Now go home.
I saw sheer hatred in the eyes of many angry Japanese people as they waved flags, spewed anti-American epithets, and tried impeding our entrance to Tachikawa Air Force Base not two decades removed from the bombs of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. I had no doubts they would kill us if they could.
This is the second Christmas of the USSR-Ukraine war.
Keep them in your prayers.
Keep ALL people on this planet in your prayers.
Believe me, you’ll thank me when the alien bug-people start dropping from the sky as they attempt to annihilate humanity. Then that tattooed, junkie transgender, girl/guy with three lip rings and a bone through his/her nose will just be another ally because it will be US versus THEM.
I doubt that the aliens will be subjective if their plans do indeed include annihilation of the human race. They will see ALL humans as the enemy.
ALL of us.
No matter what we look like, how we do our hair, what patterns cover our bodies, what gender we identify with, or how much money we have.
ALL of us.
I look forward to the holiday season because it always seemed to me a time of redemption, of hope, coalescence, and commonality.
United in the Spirit of Christmas, if nothing else.
Not anymore.
The formulaic, poignant Christmas movies aren’t as poignant.
Innocence (if not lost) faded.
Fewer stories of Christmas “miracles.”
I’d settle for ONE DAY of world peace.
And build from there.
But even that is a pipe dream in today’s world.
Hell, even the Yemeni pirates are screwing with us.
I can’t help but think what the Reagan response would have been during his time in office?
I’ll bet Nancy, er I mean Ronald, wouldn’t put up with that kind of disrespect one bit. That was a time (the last time) when the world still feared the power of the U.S.A.
Two words for you.
Fish food.
Two more.
Stay well.
