We return to the Field of Combat and Contention

      Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.   Perhaps I am not the good man needed for these times, but we shall try.   As an entry and aside, we have been in a jumble of extremely compressed action, taking care of large and small problems and projects during the past couple of months or a bit more.

     We dawdled and procrastinated, helped and sweated, felt inadequate for not doing things betterand so forth.   Cats to feed, dogs to re-assure, lawns front and rear and both sides to mow and nurtureall rewarding and challenging, especially when one is normally disposed to hanging around, whining and moaning, and grumbling about the political situationsin Texasin Washington, D.C., and with our friends and enemies throughout the planet.

WE TIRE OF IMBECILES:

     During the past few years, and especially during the last four or five years, we have been witnessing one of the most ridiculous assaults without punishment ever to afflict the Republic of Texas and its surrounding political entities.  For instanceduring the months of October and November, 2021 the number of people detained and processed by the Texan and American authorities totaled in excess of 350,000 humans, of all imaginable ages, races, ethnic types, and citizenship.

     It was left to people in the southernmost

A Clarion Call

     This is a bit off my route, but it is something that must be circulated throughout the common law, Judeo-Christianic, free enterprise world.  The below cited woman styled what this writer must consider to be a classic re-statement of the obvious.

     Our problem for the nation, as it is for Texas, is that we must struggle to remain viable in the face of decadence and the abandonment of Holy Creeds and proven successful codes of social and moral conduct.  Business conduct, social activity, the rearing and guiding of children and the pre-adult individual obviously must depend upon that which is dependable…and honest…and straightforward.

     There have been several contributors to our local newspaper here in McAllen, Texas and it is fairly certain that a tenth or more of the one million people who maintain an orbit in and around Hidalgo County of Texas probably review the commentary provided by the McAllen Monitor on a regular basis.   I do not wish to delve into the transformation of the culture and social complexion of Hidalgo County, for it is far, far too complexas it pertains to the past, present, and futureto discuss within the structure of this missive.

    Suffice to say that Hidalgo County became an official entity back in the early 1850's.   Places such as McAllen, Edinburg, Weslaco, Mission, and Mercedes (please forgive the failure to mention the many-score villages, towns, and cities that also form much of the population of this County) back in pre-War Between the States, the Maximilian / Benito Juarez War of the early 1860s, and all the subsequent activity since make a patchwork quilt of a complexity never imagined by those of us born in the 1930's - 1960's in Hidalgo County.   That part of Texas, at the very frontier with Mexico and the Rio Grande, has witnessed all but incomprehensible changes and forms of common and extremely advanced commercial, agricultural, and industrial activity.  It is an awesome metamorphosis in my lifetime.

     We render now the submission of one Hortencia Camargo, a contributor to the McAllen Monitor newspaper.   She is one of several observers and analysts in this area,  very astute Latins of one or two generations on up into 20 generations in this part of the North American Continent, who have committed to the Free Enterprise, Judeo-Christian approach to cultural viability.   Without further droning forth, we present Hortensia Camargo's view of Hidalgo County and essentially the World in very few words…all gilt in wisdom and glistening in silver.

AMERICA IS A JOKE

Hortensia Camargo

     President Biden is burning the candle at both ends.  The near, near future will clearly show Biden and his supporters that money and resources truly do not grow on trees.  The endless stimulus checks, blanket loans, and strain on America for Americans, plus the blanket cost of living tab for the entire world simultaneously will cripple America.   Small businesses will fail, taxes will be raised to try to support this ridiculous grab for "free everything" in the name of feel-good and warm-inside sentiment.

     Have you ever boarded a plane?  There is a reason they clearly instruct you to protect and secure yourself in case of an emergency before you help your neighbour.   Why?  Because when you are both weakened and compromised, the chance of you both perishing are almost guaranteed.  That's America and its neighbours.

     Right now the burden of keeping American citizens afloat and the entire influx of illegal aliens will eventually affect all of us.  It'll be with higher taxes, major crime, an uptake in COVID - 19 infections and variants, lack of resources, overpopulated schools and congested classes, more colonias, inflation, lack  of medical resources and ICU  beds, and…eventually Social Security will be attacked to help foot the bill.

     Each and every one of us will feel the horrific effect of the absolute worst and first quasi-communist socialist president ever, Joe Biden.  He has created the most volatile economy America has ever seen.  Awe, but like children: all the candy your heart desires looks extremely attractive, but America must accept that it will come with rot and a world of pain.

     The American Dream is no more.  Hustle, drive, ambition, creativity,  entrepreneurship and capitalism are gone.  The current system puts fear in its citizens to excel.   The famous income tax return pie-in-the-sky keeps the masses purposely trying to not excel and to instead settle; to live not to lose instead of living to win.

     To-day, parents literally teach their kids how to get an income tax return and not pay taxes.

   And, Oh!  critical race theory is totally racist.   If there were white-only, groups, advocacy centres, and organisations, society would be up at arms.   Yes, racism still exists today but the new colour of abused victims is white.

     To truly end racism we must collectively accept and acknowledge that all races face it every single day.   Being White in America to-day is almost a crime.  Don't let certain movements and organisations fool you…racism is racism, regardless of colour.

     Biden's America is a joke.   The entire country is being pandered to.  It is insulting and sad.

Mired…as the world continues in a fog...

_________________________

Mired and no recourse to cure anything:

      Sunrise, sunset…Sunrise, sunset…seems to be our situation at this time.   We were rather much put into dry-dock about a year ago when,  for a number of reasons, there was a necessity between the three major powers of North America to restrain cross-border visitation for business, pleasure, or just milling around.  Mexico, Canada, Texas, and the United States determined that people could fly to Cancun and have a good time, but they could not drive or take a ground conveyance …this in spite of nearly five first-class busses per hour come in and departed to and from McAllen, for instance, connecting the southern tip of Texas with scores of destinations in Mexico.

     While dull and travelled over and over again, it was somewhat of a purifying experience to either go down or come back to and from our places in Texas and our place down in the middle of Nowhere, Mexico where we have our little mud hut.   Each month would pass by, first with Trump declaring draconian migratory regulations that essentially did nothing beyond increasing the number of illegal aliens entering in to Gringolandia, and extending the ban, month by month.   The day before yesterday was the most recent, and it extended the ban to travel terrestrially into Mexico to 31 August 2021.

 Where my son-in-law and daughter hang-out,
on the eastern side (Caribbean)...
__________________________
     Similar constraints are imposed on people coming into the Texas or the United States, if entering via ground transportation.   People crossing either direction on the border have to have "justifiable cause" for entering the other country.  My children, interestingly, like to take a run to the east coast of the the Yucatan PeninsulaCancunCozumel…Tulum and such places; they like the adventure of swimming with the non-violent sharks who seem to relish providing "horse rides" for the tourist.   Even the more aristocratic porpoises seem to like interaction with the tourists, and the treatment of the beasts seems to be quite benign.

    All in all, it seems confusing and counterproductive, but tourism in Mexico along their thousands and thousands of miles of interesting and impressive coastlines business is still relatively good.   Mexicans with credentials and a "legitimate purpose" still come into the frontier of Texas to do business purchasing and export / import business. My understanding is that Mexicans with an active and valid visa can still go to Port Isabel / South Padre Island as before.

     We can also suggest that the Peninsula of Baja California has steady Gringo and foreign business, and there are even significant developments for permanent Americans and foreign investors in various places in that part of Mexico.  Mazatlan and a score of other places along the Pacific Coast still pack in the airline arrivals and hotels and cottage-village places in that area.

     But…in the main body of the country, pointless touristic milling around is still either prohibited…more or less…seemingly dependent upon the moment.   It is all rather peculiar.   Perhaps things will normalise back into the abnormal to which we were accustomed.

Later to-day,  and during the morning to-morrow, we shall be writing up a bit about the horrid invasion that the George Soros and Co. have thrust upon Texas and the southern part of the United States as well as all the rest of the places that have been cleared by the Bidenites to allow into the United States of America without permit or permission that normally had been required.   The matter is one of definitive jeopardy for the reasonable people to understand as a distinct danger to the Texas Republic and the strength of the United States of America.

More soon.

A Social / Cultural / Historical Review and the Probable Future of Texas

_________________________________


These are interesting, even if treacherous, times. Two or
 three dynamics converge to reasonably visit concern
about the assaults that might well be underway against
 the American Union.
________________________________  
     We look over the pandemic that has beset us, not the one about the Martian Flu that the Red Chinese ghouls worked on over in the fable'd Wuhan Institute of Virology, but something that might be related, but less noticed.

      During the past several months, the European, Japanese, and American economic engines have been impacted by medical and social problems emanating from Red China.   For a period of about four…perhaps three and a fraction of years…in an isolated district (if anything in Red China can be isolated any longer) known as Jiangxi there are two communities, Wuhan and Huba, where substantial agricultural and chemical research is conducted.   While it was considered to be something of a glorified advanced research complex designed to help feed the 1,500,000,000 Chinese  populace (one hundred and fifty billion human beings), something else seemed to persistently whisper…"This province is a factory for death…please go away".

      It is very difficult for many humans to comprehend the social and cultural patterns that can be encountered in various parts of the world.    One could review the writings of a fellow by the name of David Southerly who did considerable study and analysis of the impact of Mao upon China, published in 1994.  It points out that perhaps the most peculiar of all governments is that of the Red Chinese government and the forever haunting image of Mao tse tung, the father of democracy with no freedom.   It is probable that Chairman Mao, during his time of service to the people of Red China, caused the extinguishment of over thirty or forty million humans livesor quite possibly moremany more.   Some studied and reasonable estimates have reached beyond 100, 000, 000 (one-hundred million souls).

     To be sure, many reliable analysts have reasonably placed the direct and precise numbers of humans liquidated, murdered, executed, tortured to death, etc. by the order of Mao, as noted above. It could well have measured well beyond 100,000,000 souls.   Essentially, Mao was as warped and vicious as any self-indulgent tyrant.  He was committed to literally scores of cultural cleansing efforts as irrational as our "Curse of the Global Warmingcooling" asininity that our Euro and American elitist marxist "climate experts"strut about …and warning the unwashed about the End of Times just around the corner. 

     One can point out that at least the Global Warmingcooling nuts are not as destructive and perverse as was Chairman Mao.  They are simply trying to install themselves into the worldwide driver's seat so as to control what people will do in terms of eating, sleeping, social organisation, the colour of traffic signals at intersections, the prohibition of requiring people to associate pink with girls and blue for boys, calorie counting for disadvantaged roller skaters, and all that important stuff.

      The shambles left by Chairman Mao, after many "Great Leaps Forward" has brought Red China to that point that it has a remarkable military that could possibly put together several great reviews of hundreds of thousands of smartly uniformed military people, marching and mixing along with a few hundred tanks, and trucks pulling hundreds of missiles "capable of reaching America and the Sun"in important patios in Peking.   The control group in Peking frequently reminds the people of Planet Earth that Peking can also menace the nation of India, Nepal, and several other much smaller adjacent countries that don't count anyway.   Peking will use them finally to clean toilets for the Poobahs, and to provide blood and human organ transplants and corporal members when Poobahs and/or their children and mistresses lose an arm or leg or lung or something.

      The Red Chinese engine of horrors can buy the allegiance of American and other capitalists who seem to like to hang around with marxist and degenerate "revolutionary liberators",  but their true nature is such that they are actually afraid of taking on entities such as Hong Kong, Taipei, even Viet Nam, and  a score of other entities that cloud the disorder of the highly ordered and controlled nation known as the "Peoples' Republic".   The diplomatic / military forte' of the Red Chinese is the continuous spying and infiltration of places near and far in relation to the Chinese psychotic addiction to the desire to infiltrate, subvert, ruin,  and compromise other cultures and systems.

    It boils down to the proverbial contest between good and evil.   Granted…the Gringos are not "all goody-goody, religious, and pure" but the Red Chinese "uppers" and leadership group that controls their 1,400,000,000 people have no souls.   The compulsion to control and subvert the round-eyes and other lower-level forms of humanity is the main reason for living as far as the Red Chinese control group is concerned.

                                                   _________________________            

     There was a time when this observer thought that the Republic of Texas could become something so legendary that it would be able to endure until the exhaustion of the Sun.  Such notions start in the minds of people who receive their first lessons about reality from the Tooth Faerie and El Zorro.   Sorry, Santa Claus is too religious to mention, and we fear that such a thing as a religious measure has become too dangerous to bring into the public arena.  But, here we are, having to recognise that the intestinal fortitude of the Texian population now has to support a population that has become "more realistic", and drawn from areas that have turned into Hell Holes.

     Several hundreds of thousands…becoming millions…have transferred to the Lone State State for various reasons…mostly because it is cheaper than than hanging around in New York or California.  Massive numbers of people from Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador and roughly 223 other important nations have directed their populations to go to Texas and the United States so as to help the American People.  We have long since reaped the harvest of people who have moved into Texas and then begin to point out what is needed in order to bring Texas up to "Standards".   We have recently been "Ocasio'd " by Her Majesty when she came to the Border to express "solidarity" with the "prisoner children" who had been detained in cages after being chained to the inside of said cages.

Ilan Abdul Ahi Omar

Congresswoman for
Minneapolis, Minnesota

     Of course, she and her herd of commie cows and ignorant know-it-alls were unaware at that time that the children had been detained long before and under the orders of the god-force Father Saint Obamaham.   Said saint, who lives now near the precincts of the Kopechne Bridge in a land known as Massachusetts, is writing about the further details about how many joints he smoked when he was of some age or  another.
   Rumours concerning  Omar (the Angel of Revenge), and a re-elected Democrat Congresswoman from a district where several score of my forbearers are buried in downtown Minneapolis, lamentably are all true.  Such a strange metamorphosis, one could think, when a communist,  nihilist, Islamite, atheist, anti-American strike force radical, culture-destroying psychopath  can barge into a Nation as generous as the United States, and immediately set about to destroy everything that made life worth living. Things change. Times change. But insanity, arrogance, and proud stupidity seems to prosper when one considers the banality of the Ocasios and the Ilan Abdul Ahi Omar League of mental and social degenerates.

AS AN INTERESTING ASIDE:

THIS IS THE WASHBURN EXPLOSION
 MONUMENT.  
SEVERAL SCORE KILLED
 AND INJURED BACK IN MAY OF 1878.
___________________________________
   It was in 1878 when the Washburn - Christian Mills milling explosion occurred.  It was said that the 
echoes and reverberations down the Mississippi River endure forever.   A great-grand uncle, Charles Christian,  was the manager of  what was then the largest flour grinding operation in America.   The Washburn side of the ownership was mainly political, as demonstrated by the fact that Mr. Washburn, the majority owner of the operation, had been elected Governor of Wisconsin a couple of times before changing his path to become a magnate of industry.   He was successful in both endeavours, in spite of the disaster that literally tore the innards out of the industrial sector of Minneapolis in 1878.
  My great-grand Uncle, John Christian, was a partner in the business, and the "man on the ground" because he was the day-to-day administrator of the huge flour milling operation.
     At that time the idea that grinding seeds into 
powder-like flour could become literally an explosive problem.  Until that point, folks who were using advanced processing equipment had experienced the sudden flaming of freshly ground flour when the grinding gears overheated due to lack of hub-lubrication.
     The Washburn event, however, was due to a spontaneously free-floating powder of a very fine grade…which, when static electricity moved through a certain density of powder that floated almost undetected in the atmosphere inside the "Washburn A"  milling factory,  and when very low relative humidity ruled the moment…an explosion of absolute catastrophic  effect could…and did...occur.   Almost immediately the Washburn - Christian people set about building everything up bigger and better.   Within a calendar year the overhaul and reconstruction were accomplished.

     Poobahs throughout the industrial bases of the United States howled about defective planning, lack of concern for the poor workers, the uncaring nature of the big operators and so forth until two Minnesota University scientists, one named Peckham, the other Peck took up the challenge of solving the explosive characteristics of flour powder.   These men performed exhaustive research and testing and concurred with my great-grand uncle John Christian.   The new factory would have forced air ventilation!!
     Finally, we need to point out that there were various metamorphosises as the years went by.  The Washburn organisation steadily recovered, and then began to disperse finally in the northern parts of Illinois, adopting the name of General Mills, while the Christian people moved into banking and real estate operations, generally remaining in and around the original "Minnesota" venues.   And now we return to that which is at hand.
______________________________________ 

   Alexandria Ocasio made a fool of herself that time (again) in front of the cameras, so she went back to New York City with her covey of imbeciles and declared her new victory.  It will be years before the city crews will be able to sweep up and tidy the Rue de Broadway because of the hundreds of millions of rose-throwing, cry-for-happy trans, women, unpersons, leftists, foodstamp poisoning recovery patients, volunteer shoplifters, and people who like to wrap their headscarfs so tightly that their senses fail (something called nirvana).

     We shall close this commentary by reminding myself that Biden and Clamella have no idea what should be done, what is being done, what ought not to be done, what planet they are on and such matters.   The Republic is in serious danger due to pervasive lack of interest on the part of the vox populi,  an unwillingness of the Big Operators to wean themselves from the opiate of Red Chinese Communist thugs who see Americans as a supply of replacement organs for the Upper Commies and their children and mistresses.

     It becomes necessary by the hour and minute to refresh our relations with the smaller nations in the Far East, and to re-awaken the old-line reliant soulsNew Zealand, Australia, and the like.  The other small island nations and the Japanese must guard us and our friends, as we do the same in return in order to defend ourselves from the maniacal nations such as North Korea and the PRoC and the ghouls who are addicted to their addictions and who deal in the morbidity of The Poison Trip (chemical addictions)now compromising almost one in every ten humans aged 13 or more...who live upon the Planet Earth.

More Later.

Can Camalalala Pull the Hat Out of the Rabbit???

 ___________________

         We wrote several pages of commentary about the Vice-President and the President and suddenly there was a clickityclik and a black screen.  We are waiting to see if there will be another such event…I put in over 10 hours on the other posting that…simply evaporated before my face.   Perhaps that (my face) was the problem, so I am using sunglasses no so as to not scare the computer and its screen.

     We do have enough edginess to justify a bit of psychotic withdrawal syndrome and a couple of nightmares after seeing a sudden screening of Maxine Waters and/or (Sir Edmund) Hillary Rodham faces suddenly flashing on the television screen.  That was the accidental "return to service" when my television decided to join the Electric Age again.

      My overly acerbic rant about Kamela going to Guatemala and Mexico was snide and childish, but it was really funny.  At least we had the opportunity to see Kampala-la-la exit her Air Force 2's Air Force 2 (after the first Air Force 2 developed in-flight hiccups and had to return to somewhere near Washington, DC to pick up another Air Force 2 that replaced the Air Force 2 that could not continue to a destination that did not matter to neither host nor visitant, anyway.

Kamalalala in better times
     _______________
       The best part of that event was when Camela stepped out with her black mouth-mask when there was a simultaneous blast of tropic wind that blew Kampala's black hair over her face, complementing the black mask.   As she descended she either was unaware that she was blind or she thought there was something wrong with her contacts or whatever, but her face remained totally covered by her hair and mask during the entire descent.   It was a pleasantly degrading and somewhat humiliating "entrance enchante'" by her highness.

     I spared everyone by forgoing the nearly eight-page bomb I was going to drop early this morning.  This was mainly because I could not figure out how to restore the text after the almost insignificant break in the flow of electricitymuch less than a second.   It was weird, and only one person mentioned anything about it on the radio this morning.   It apparently did not affect but very few terminals.perhaps only mine and five or six others.

     And the answer to the question in the title above.???   The answer is no.
