And this alone disqualifies a person for military service.  People with a mental illness are NOT suitable for military service.

Throwing the BULLSHIT Flag

 

So now the news has broken that FORMER President "Creepy Joe" Biden has an advanced form of prostate cancer that has metastasized into his bones, and that it was discovered just a few days ago.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to throw the BULLSHIT flag on that one.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense - which automatically rules out 99.9% of the Demoncratic party - knows that it takes YEARS for ANY cancer to get to this point.  Even some Demoncratic doctors have said this, one of whom was a former White House doctor.  

What this means is that the Biden Administration LIED to us (what else is new?) about the health of the then-President, and that "Creepy Joe" most likely already had the cancer when he took office.  

Did this affect his mental capacity?  I'm no doctor to be sure, but I don't see how it possibly could.  And if it did, then why was he allowed to remain in office?  No, in my humble and uneducated opinion I think that his cancer had ZERO effect on his mental capabilities, and that his progressive dementia was a separate issue which alone should have been enough to get him out of office via the 25th Amendment.

But then that would have left us with a whore in the Oval Office by the name of "Kameltoe" Harris, so maybe "Creepy Joe" staying in office was a blessing in disguise.

And now that Biden has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, all of the same people who were wishing death and destruction on every Conservative in the country, especially Donald Trump, are telling us we should turn the other cheek and be kind to Biden and his family.

Fuck that.  My days of turning the other cheek as far as anything the Demoncrats do are long over.  Cancer or not, Biden is a criminal who should be in prison - unlike Donald Trump, who hasn't done anything wrong and is NOT a convicted felon.  (Chew on that one, libtards, and choke on it.)

Biden will go down in history as the WORST President this country has ever had, and that's a fact.

I won't go so far as to say I hope he dies because I wouldn't wish death on even my worst enemy, but I won't ignore the things he's done in the past just because he has cancer, either.  He's not getting a free pass from me - not now, not ever.

End of Story

 

And no matter what anyone else says, no matter who they are or what education they have, it's this simple.  You can't change biology, and that's all there is to it.

PAID IN FULL

 

Anyone - and I mean anyone regardless of skin color or party affiliation - who thinks reparations for slavery is a good idea is a total and complete fuckin' moron.  Someone once said that making white people pay reparations to black people for slavery is like the court making you pay child support for a child that isn't yours to a woman that you never had sex with.  

I mean, really, why should ANYONE living in the 21st century be owed ANYTHING for what their great-great-grandfather/grandmother endured in the 19th century?  This is the utter height of stupidity and ridiculousness.  IMHO it's just another way that the blacks in this country are trying to get something for nothing.

But as the meme says, that debt has already been paid by the 360,000 WHITE soldiers who died fighting to end slavery.  We don't owe anyone a damned thing.

Reparations is a stupid idea.  Period.  End of story.

An End to the Mystery

 I posted a few days ago that I would reveal why the changes in me have taken place and that I would explain the somewhat ominous posts I've been making.  Well, I'm a man of my word, so here's the reason.

I have left the Masonic fraternity.  Without going into any great detail, let me just say that the members of my former lodge have, over the course of the past 8 months or so, made it more than abundantly clear to me that my presence is no longer desired.  I've never been one to go somewhere or stay someplace where I'm not wanted, and since the members of my former lodge (not all of them, to be sure, but enough) have made this clear to me, I have left both the lodge and the Grand Lodge of South Carolina.

So does this mean I'm no longer a Mason?  In my opinion, no.  I'm no longer a member of a lodge or a Grand Lodge, but in my heart I'm still a Mason because I swore not one but four obligations to the Craft, and obligations don't end when association with a group does.  I will keep my obligations and will always practice the tenets of the Craft because I believe in them; it's the people that I have lost confidence in.

I'm quite sure that some will disagree with me on this, but to be brutally honest (what else is new, right?) I don't care.  I don't live my life based on the opinions of others; never have, never will.  So if you want to disagree with me, go ahead.  I truly don't care.

Believe me when I tell you that this was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made in my entire life, but it's the only one that makes sense.

As my mom used to say, "This, too, shall pass."

If this sounds a tad negative or pessimistic, sorry, but that's how I'm feeling these days.  But I'll get over it.

Adios, Facebook!

For those of you who may be paying attention, as of May 10th my Facebook account is no more.  I stopped wanting it a few months ago but kept it because I needed it for one specific reason; now that reason no longer exists, so it's gone.

Yes, I'm being cryptic, but there's a reason for that too.  (Remember, there's always a method to my madness.)  All will become clear in a few days, so just hang tight.

Yes, My Walls are Going Up

 If you've been paying attention to my Facebook posts lately - and I know some of you have for reasons that are less than honorable - then you will have noticed that there's been a pretty significant change in my attitude as of late.  I'm MUCH more defensive about things, I'm not as trusting as I used to be, and I'm MUCH more suspicious.  In short, my walls are going up, and they're going up high.

And I don't like it.  I don't like the changes that have taken place in me, but they've been forced upon me and have taken place because I have no other choice.  

You see, over the past month I've had some people turn on me that I thought I could trust, that I thought were my brothers, and that I thought were my friends.  Sadly, they have proven to me that they are none of the above - and that has caused me to wonder if they ever were.  These people have profoundly shaken my faith in an organization that I dearly love, and what's worse is they have shaken my faith in myself - or they did.  While my faith in the organization is still shaken and will remain as such until the situation which I find myself embroiled in is finally settled, I have renewed my faith in myself.  And one of the ways I accomplished that was to put up some walls that I never had to put up before, along with removing some people out of my life that have shown me they are no longer worthy of a seat at my table.

Anyone who knows me - who TRULY knows me - knows that I am a fiercely loyal and utterly reliable friend, no holds barred.  I'm the guy that you can call at 2AM and say, "Hey, man, I'm in trouble and I need you here right now," and the ONLY questions I will ask are "Where are you?" and "Can you hold out until I get there?"  I won't ask why, I won't ask what happened, I'll just get up, get dressed, get in my car and fuckin' GET THERE.

Those of you who are reading this and think otherwise think that way because you've never taken the time to get to know me.  To steal a line from a TV show, you were never curious - you just judged instead of being curious and asking questions.  And that is YOUR loss, as my true friends will tell you.

If it sounds like I'm being overly cryptic about all this, I'm doing that for a reason.  The situation that brought all this about is still going on, and I have no idea when it will be resolved as the resolution is out of my control.  But rest assured that once the situation is resolved, regardless of the resolution I absolutely will post the details of the situation in its entirety.  

And when I do it's going to make some people look pretty bad, but that too is out of my control.

Stay tuned.
