Arctic warming and diminishing sea ice are influencing the atmosphere

________________________________

The researchers of the Institute for Atmospheric and Earth system research at the University of Helsinki have investigated how atmospheric particles are formed in the Arctic. Until recent studies, the molecular processes of particle formation in the high Arctic remained a mystery.

During their expeditions to the Arctic, the scientists collected measurements for 12 months in total. The results of the extensive research project were recently published in Geophysical Research Letters.

The researchers discovered that atmospheric vapors, particles, and cloud formation have clear differences within various Arctic environments. The study clarifies how Arctic warming and sea ice loss strengthens processes where different vapors are emitted to the atmosphere. The thinning of sea ice enables more iodine emissions while broader open waters enable more emissions of sulfur-containing vapors.

Higher concentrations of vapors result in a higher amount of particles. This on the other hand will lead to more clouds, which can—depending on the season and location—either slow down or accelerate the Arctic warming. Detailed knowledge of these processes is crucial in order to understand the consequences of global warming.

     It struck me that this announcement…certainly a clarion harbinger of  bamboozleglubflap,  which always announces the interception of inversion seasons from tropical to treadle Singer Sewing machines and back to cuckoo clocks…is solar powered, of course.

    Soros Universal and the Free Democratic Communist Red China are making the offer at this time to allow you to send an organ for transplant to the Red Chinese oligarch of your choice, and you can do this for only $999.99 (am. cur.) per organ.   In order to make this offer possible, it is required that the donor use an organ of his/her own body or of the body of one of your offspring, preferably under the age of 13. 

     The campaign is known as "Organs Across the Pacific".  Now back to Helsinki Institute for Atmospheric and Earth system research?

__________________________

     We return to other events and considerations that happen to be wandering in the recesses of what little is left of my poor old debilitated brain.   Thanks for staying in!!

     Let us now travel to Hennepin County, Minnesota.  Minneapolis…the life's blood of a significant portion of America's geography and industrial output.   My family, in the ancient times, moved among the shakers and doers, dealing in considerable development of industrial production and huge efforts to produce millions of tonnes of wheat and other grains in what should have been nearly impossible weather characteristics.   To be short, they were part of the Washburn - Christian Mills which over the years gradually became a company now known as General Mills.

This is the monument that
commemorates the Washburn
Mills Explosion of
 2 May 1878 -
Sunset Cemetery and Grounds
Minneapolis, Minnesota
_______________________

    The Washburn folks, along with the Christians, decided at one time to establish a special place for employees of the Washburn - Christian Mills where folks could bury their departed.   A special section was also set aside in the elegant and manicured cemetery for the poobahs and socially elevated types associated with Washburn - Christian Mills in the beginning and continuing ahead for many years.  To make a long story longer, many of my people who emigrated into the United States from Britain during what was then the colonial period moved through Massachusetts and New York and other places as they obtained considerable wealth and position in their industrial and agricultural pursuits.

     My great-grandfather Peter Bonesteel Christian and my grandmother are interred in the aforementioned cemetery which to-day is essentially menaced by the despicable decay and social malaise that is the city of Minneapolis.   The elder Christian was interred there in the late 1920s and his daughter (my grandmother) followed in the mid-1930s.   I never had the chance to see or know them.

     My father took his mother up to her family people in Minneapolis,  riding in baggage all the way up, and in compartment back down…a matter of about one week, according to his remembrance.   He was given an opulent apartment above a five car garage within the confines of a very large mansion and formal grounds.   He met with none of his family, only servants, and a servant took him to the train when the time arrived to head back to southernmost Texas.  

    My soul suffers from knowing that good and great people managed to prosper and establish legacies in the area of Hennepin County, Minnesota and the entire State of Minnesota.   Even though the family of my grandmother had little or no use for my father or anything associated with "…the  people down there…", I can still lament that a fascinating and complex State in the American Union has been steadily reduced during the past three to five years to a declining, atrophying and increasingly pointless political subdivision.

The best bet for New Age and Marxist engineers, building
 another, final perfect society and culture.  I mean, like
 who cares if the toilets don't flush and the traffic lights
 don't function, etc.?

___________________________________

     The events during the last few weeks point clearly to a group of people who have no concern about truth, honesty, self-respect, self-reliance…it has become a cultural quagmire.  As in the case of New York, and Washington, and Washington, D.C. , and Portland, and etc. etc. etc. the Duchies fall, collapsing on their own weight and degeneracy, their socialism and ridiculous efforts at establishing Nirvana through marxism and graft.

     One watches and listens to the four imbecilic women who pontificate and blame and bleat and blather without end about the shortcomings of the United States…AOC, for instance, has never spoken a truthful or coherent paragraph, to my knowledge, ever.   She and her cadre, and the Biden / Camela team, along with the entire gaggle of third-string - playlike marxists who form the Cabinet put in place by Uncle Joe can easily take up residence in any nice psychiatric facility out in the country…and end their days reforming their anthills and beehives according to their likings.   Perhaps Uncle Joe could possibly give us some accounting concerning how much Red Chinese lucre his son kicked "upstairs" to dear old dad.   But we must move on.

Greta Thunberg
_________

     Now comes this pitifully deranged child, Greta Thunberg, who has been foisted into the consciousness of the masses…with her soliloquy of absurdity that seems to come out with some form of socialist blather stating something like…"THIS TIME there really will be global warming and cooling, and floods and droughts, and everything; and you old geezers have forced us to suffer all the time and everything…and  you geezers made it happen so as to kill all the children and right thinking people…and the proof is the fact that all of America was inundated once because all the water went away and now its coming back again and you old people killed everybody all the time."

   It's almost enough for us to start up a full time broadside publication again, like the years past.   Back then, of course, I had the OROGs who would  forward ideas and commentary…OROG being an anagram for Order of Readers of the Old Gringo.   All who were and/or are members of the OROG, you hereby remain members in good standing in perpetuity!!

      Please forgive my somewhat less than precise depiction of Thunberg's arrogant, insipid, pointless, and mendacious monologues. Her  particular excesses are products of her own, and of her handlers.

__________________________________

    My excesses are a form of sad humour, that essentially bilge out until the saloon closes, and the lights go out.   Some of my grumpiness is due to the very recent loss of one of my three remaining "Best Buds". I shall be somewhat recovered in the coming days, and I appreciate the patience of our membership.     There will be more to come concerning this topic in the next few weeks.

Oh!!  And, I have no handlers.

Texas, Canada, and Mexico - three nations, one-sixth the number of Red China's population, but substantially more GNP than Red China.

 _____________________________

    

      It is truly remarkable.  Throughout the capitalist and supposedly largely free market we take for granted the Europeans, Japanese, most of the New World,  folks from Singapore, Hong Kong, etc.  and assume that our institutions are, can we say,  malleably permanent.   Changes are made, sometimes we return to previous processes, and things can rumble along as the big-rigs thunder through the night, carrying billions and trillions of dollars worth of goods, from California to the New York Highlands.

     But, there are conditions and exceptions, as we know.  And how do we fashion a relation between one nation that is totally totalitarian and the other is marginally, at least, a free enterprise adherent?   Suddenly, now, we have found a new game in town.   It has been facing us since the evacuation of the Free Chinese under Chiang Kai Shek from China to the Island of Formosa…to-day known as Taiwan.   Now we have a brutal, no-conscience morality, communist, dictatorship strutting about as if said dictatorship is the Number One Rooster in town.   That brutal, murderous, soul-less entity is dedicated to active numerous propositions.  To wit:

     (1)   Hate round-eyes, hate Orientals who are friendly with round-eyes.  Love Mao Tse Tung, adhere to the Red Chinese National Anthem - "Oh! How I love to carry dung to the dung heap for Chairman Mao",  regard other races and ethnicities as sub-human, and…do everything to upset every apple cart in the market anywhere possible.

     (2)   Use American children as organ donors, and suck in Roundeye Capitalists to first become investors and partners in Red Chinese business and projects, and then become organ donors for keeping geriatric Red Chinese poo-bahs alive…forever.   One must admire a nation that has 1,300,000,000 (1.3 billion) citizens producing almost six trillion dollars worth of value added. It compares to the Republic of Texas, the United States of Mexico, and Canada.  The only small problem???

_________________________

      …….The three named nations…all in the tier of the highest 15 nations produce around seven trillion dollar in economic activity drawn from a population base of 210,000,000 souls…

including the Texian hero of all time, The Lone Ranger and his magical white mount Silver.  Onto, the noble Indian sidekick. and protector and his horse, Sergeant had a lamentable name, which translated from the Spanish to " silly, mentally dull".

   Which brings to mind the Canadian Sergeant Preston of the Yukon and his Wonder Dog King and his wonder horse Rex who frequently would assist in quadruple bypass operations for heart patients who happened to be short on funds!!!   The dog "King" also made a killing in the Stock Market just before the collapse of 1899 on the Stock Market (never trust anything inside of the city of New York).       

     Everyone knows that The Lone Ranger was and remains an icon forever.   He was a friend to all good people and an enemy of all bad people.  He even had a hood ornament named Tonto, whose name in the Spanish had  the unfortunate translation into the English of "silly, mentally dull" from the Spanish.  The Lone Ranger and his trusted Indian Friend each had horses  that could understand nine languages and perform analytical  quantum physics problems in their sleep.

      We finish our efforts for the evening with the reminder of another brilliant defender of his nation.

       This would be, of course, the person of a 30 year old Cavalry General leading a Mexican Army…of around 7,000 well and not-so-well trained and equipped soldiers (mainly Zapotec Indians and National Guardsmen)…meeting and defeating a thoroughly trained, well-led, well-fed, well-mounted French Infantry, Artillery, and Cavalry numbering around 32,000 moving up to take the important city of Puebla…the front door to the City of Mexico, their next stop.   Ignacio Zaragoza Sequin, Commander in Chief…was born a Texian, not far from Goliad.

    He was also the nephew of his Uncle Juan Sequin, one of the great liberators of Texas against the horrid tyrant Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna…who was defeated in 1836 the same way Gen. Charles de Lorencez would be defeated by Juan Sequin's nephew, Ignacio Zaragoza Sequin.

More later.

Madness, Arrogance, and Ignorance: Hallmark of the Left

__________________________

   We review on a daily basis the comings and goings of the issues surrounding the cascade of "migrants" inundating the frontier between Mexico and the United State of America.  It has become patently obvious that the worldwide consensus of the elite billionaire socialists is absolutely and totally committed to the debasement and total ruin of the American Experiment.

     The tension that exists in America is that of the group generally dedicated to the desire to be cared for by a benevolent, all-knowing government in conflict with dreamers and the self-sufficient and free-enterprise risk-takers who believe in a ridiculous thing like a Great Ordering Power such as the Lord God Yahweh.   It is an obvious dichotomy for which there is no resolution. 

      There will always be those who wish to be taken care of and those who require to be obeyed.   Texas is one of those places where a large majority of the citizenry wishes to be left alone, desiring to make their own way. Efforts to destroy the peculiar Texian ethos have been underway for scores and scores of years, with lesser and greater effect.

        Texians of the old school tend to remain ruralists even when found ensconced in large cities.   Marxists are dedicated to making a definite honeycomb wherein people are assigned to the proper cell of the honeycomb where they labour to the Anthem, "Oh! How I love to carry dung to the dungheap for Chairman Mao!".   The guiding hands of Marx and Engels…Hitler and AOC…Stalin and Pelosi are certain that they can guide the unwashed into the proper stall where the proles can make left-handed horseshoes from mud that is approved by Michelle and (Sir Edmund) Hillary.

        At times the George Soros Choir rises to the occasion to forward the march to the enslavement of the masses.   The general American populace falls for the siren song of the left…that convinces the dull and undiscerning that a good and benevolent government will provide all nature of human pleasure for the dull and undiscerning.  That song, of course, is the hypnotic lure into a poverty of the soul, where the "masses" are ordered what to do and who are given that which the elites deign to render.

_______________________

     We enter into an analysis of the onslaught of the thousands of people arriving, again, to the frontier which is the demarcation of where Mexico and Texas separate and join simultaneously.   This time it is a bit more serious, in that a new government has been installed in Washington, D.C.   The folks are arriving without benefit of process of any kind.   They are frequently conducted by people who steal their belongings and money and at times their children.

Guatemala is perhaps one of the top ten most beautiful nations
on the Planet.  The scene above shows also the verdancy and stunning
crops that are taken from the avocado and mango orchards and the hundreds 
of thousands of acres of tropical vegetables and fruit that feed the country and
other places that demand the excellent fare provided by the volcanically rich
soil.   The year-round growing season helps, although we must note that there
are hurricanes from the Caribbean that slow things down a bit.
___________________________________________________

     The people come from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador generally, although thousands come from other places in Latin America, as well as many other countries around the world.  Some eighty percent come out of the first three countries, and almost every one of those are woefully unprepared for life in the United States.  Large percentages of them are people with a checkered social history, including criminal records and slight literacy.   Tens of thousands, over the last twenty years, have been residents of scores of penitentiaries in the fifty States of the American Union.   Many of those have been "repeat offender tourists", slipping back into Gringoland at the first opportunity.

This is a relatively normal-looking "caravana"

a poorly chosen word for what one sees in this

photograph.  A "caravana" can be 50 or 5,000

and they all start out damning America, hating

their own countries, almost totally limited in

terms of blue collar or white collar proficiency,

often illiterate or semi-literate.   At times women

carry babies or little ones that are borrowed or

even kidnapped, thinking they can increase

their chances of crossing into the USA. They

have the hubris to demand to remain in the

USA when they finally arrive in Gringolandia

while hundreds of thousands and millions

of others had to pay many shekels and years

of study and qualification to gain citizenship.

__________________________

     We receive our share of Arabs from many of those nations, as well as hundreds, at times thousands, from Red China and other places the Orient. The violence among the "immigrants", once again must be pointed out.  Many of those heading north are going to positions with the Mara Salvatrucha Trece (MS-13) from  the Honduras and the Guatemala gang known as Callejon-18 (callejon {kah-yeh-HOAN} is a word meaning 'large alley').

     These bloodthirsty goons have the practice of murdering their mothers or one of their sisters, for instance, in order to prove their fielty to the group.   Sometimes they are ordained in Central America, sometimes they "come of age" in Gringoland, but almost all have dedicated their allegiance to Satan.

Upon seeing  a crowd such as this, it is most 
probable that 30 percent of the males in the
 scene have an "archivo criminal"(record).
It is lamentable…..but true.
___________________________

     One can only imagine the agony of people who have filed into an American Embassy and begun the process of applying for Americans citizenship, which is a dreary and difficult and expensive matter fraught with bureaucratic dullness and sloth.  In Mexico City there are times when one can see a very long line of folks lined up around the block, waiting to enter the American Embassy.  The thing is, many of those in the line are not applying for services or information, they are holding a place in line for a particular Jose or Maria.

     These folks are frequently attorneys who process their own business, and have their own line-holders, nowadays using computer communication and hand-held at the same time in order to stay abreast of how close the client has moved towards admission into the American Embassy entrance.  It is actually a well-disciplined madness that functions well…although I am given to understand that a new American Embassy is either being built or soon will be finished, in order to replace the old worn-out Embassy.

_________________________

OKAY, GRINGO VIEJO, what is your big cure-all suggestion???

     We accept the challenge, without hubris or high-handed self-assurance.

     (1) All efforts to enter the United States of America by persons considered reasonably to be citizens of the Republics of Honduras, San El Salvador, and  Guatemala is to be prohibited.   Only under the most profound urgency involving a matter of life or death of an innocent can entrance be tolerated, and even that only for the length of time allowing a cure and recuperation.

   (2)        Beginning 90 days after the inauguration of the next Republican President of the United States, a series of projects will be put into action that will result in the following initial actions:

                    (a)    Medical assistance will be placed in clinics and hospitals so as to advance and initiate basic medical services.   This would require approximately 10,000 doctors and specialised nursing and medical technology professionals.

   cost - 5,000,000,000 AmCur.

                                 (b)     An immediate overall analysis and deployment of repair operations pertaining to the conditions and upgrading of all major primary and secondary highways.   A reasonable effort will be made to repair and maintain the tertiary road conditions of the rural areas with locals working in concert with American and Central American military engineers and blue-collar specialists.

cost - 7,500,000,000 AmCur.

                                 (c)     An immediate overall analysis and deployment of  concerning all matters pertaining to early childhood education.  All primaries (K - through 6) must be refurbished, and local women of high degree and competence who will provide a varied and locally tolerated diet for such children who are in attendance.  Men with culinary experience will certainly be considered for such duty as well.

     Simultaneously, all children will be accepted at the primaries, which will have a time-tested curriculum which will include a foreign language and which will include basic and intermediate science and mathematics.  Native Spanish and social studies will be included as well.   A principal and a steward with assistants will be in place and will be remunerated.

cost - 7,500,000,000 AmCur.

                             (d)     Simultaneous and compulsory American and allied military units, including air, ground, and marine actives, will be  integrated with units of the native troops who can achieve similar military levels of performance to the American standard.   Such a task is nowhere near impossible.

                                        cost -  7,500,000,000 AmCur. 

                          (e)      The careful and tactful integration of Mexican forces on the southern frontier of Mexico, working in co-ordination with the American, allied, and domestic forces on land, sea, and air.  Mexican air co-ordination with American air patrols in the Caribbean and Gulf has frequently been very praiseworthy in the matter of drug smuggling, especially out of Venezuela. 

                                       cost - 24,000,000,000 AmCur

                       (f)       Total cost to the taxpayers…a little less than 50 billion dollars.   Joe Biden's tribe of ghouls and marxists is calling for over 2,000,000,000,000 (two trillion) dollars just to get started on his vote buying madness and dash into the quagmire of marxist socialism.

      (3)     After three years, tourism and visitation passport for visitation to the United States by citizens of the three nations recognised in this publication (Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala) will be favourably considered to those with excellent social and professional records. 

___________________________

     The above recommendations are done at a crummy little typograph with a crummy little screen and a Mickey Mouse internet connection, at four o'clock in the morning.   I know these people fairly well, and have live among and around them for over 70 years.  My grandmother and my great grandfather pull my genes back about 150 years in matters including on-the-ground living, owning property, succeeding, etc. in Mexico, for instance.  Many people regard me…and certain of my closest friends and associates…as a reliable and studied and experienced individual concerning things Mexican and further South.

   With that, and the silly little fantasy put together in less than 50 minutes, I shall retire to my coffee machine for my second dose of the day.

Estimados huespedes:

We are increasingly at the whim of either our own equipment or from agencies that have the ability to corrupt the information we are happily typing up.  The prep page looks great and then I post it, but lo and behold…the uniformity of page presentation and various details of the design of the publication are askew.

I fix it, and within two or three visits by our followers (or new visitors) are greeted with alignments in the text that are out of place, and even "disappearances" of text…a phrase or two, and at times two-thirds of a paragraph.

We also have pictures that, after placement, suddenly either disappear or increase in scope from a nice little kitty to a huge Bengal tiger, so to speak.

See if this little scene of an old, abandoned

well suddenly turns into huge picture of two

or three bricks of the aperture of the well.

Usually it works fine, but sometimes it looks

like an earthquake hit the photo.

Right now, as I am typing, it is behaving

Another nail in the coffin of a corrupt Democrat Election

BREAKING: Judge Rules MI Sec. of State Benson Directed City Clerks to Ignore Signature Matching Law on Absentee Ballots in Nov. 2020 Election

After countless irregularities in the 2020 election and questions that arose due to the handling of ballots, counting of ballots, and absentee ballots, a Michigan judge has ruled that Michigan’s Secretary of State did in fact direct city clerks to ignore signature matching law on absentee ballots in the 2020 election.  However, the ruling appears to be too little too late to have any effect on the fantastically mismanaged 2020 election that millions of reasonable Americans do not trust.

State Court of Claims Judge Christopher Murray has ruled invalid Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s guidance issued to Michigan clerks in early October that instructed them to presume the accuracy of absentee ballot signatures.

Because Benson did not go through the proper rule-making process when issuing the guidance, clerks do not need to comply with it for future elections, Murray ruled last week.

A Soliloquy: Wandering Around in the Fog…a Knight Without Armour in a Savage Land

____________________________________

      We watch the swirling and buffeting of the events of to-day, and lamentably, I neither see nor feel the Joy in Mudville.  It seems quite evident that America is steadily swirling into the abyss.  Much of the populace would like to have "free money", and these folks will learn that there is nothing quite as expensive as "free money".

     Another racial / ethnic grouping resents that the "white folks" don't like real people who speak Spanish or some other language, don't like for those folks to speak foreign languages.   Then we have one hundred or so mega-billionaires who could buy all the European nations at one whack, should they wish.  These folks are particularly obnoxious because they have no real allegiance to anyone or anything beyond having, being happy, and looking askance at lesser human beings.   They are particularly enchanted with the idea of forming neo-capitalist linkages with countries such as Red China, which seems to be  their favourite comfort zone.

 

Richard Boone aka - played Paladin

Your humble servant is a Paladin character, although considerably content with the idea of having a wife who is my human superior, and children and granddaughters who are complex, brilliant examples of humanity. And yes, Virginia…I have no grandsons.

     As a Paladin-like character (a Knight without armour in a savage land) it has been my pain and pleasure to have failed miserably at some things, succeeded massively at others, neglected talents that should have been developed, and refined works for self and others that ranged from  well-done to amazing.

     Watching the scenario now presented by the ever-changing, steadily degrading sociological rot, my soul has become increasingly troubled.   To think…one wakes up in

Clark Gable, aka - Rhett Butler
__________________

the morning learning that Dr. Seuss is a scumbag and a racist.  We are already aware that Gone With the Wind is a racist movie…I think it was Joy Behar who advised me of such.  The Southern movie audiences at the time of the release swarmed the theatres to marvel at the incredible cast…choosing Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) and Mammy (Hattie McDaniel) as the top performers.  McDaniel won the Oscar that year for Best Supporting Actress, becoming the first Black African descent person to make the "Big Four" in the Academy Awards.

     Truth be known, Hattie McDaniel was castigated and howled against by the "urbane" and ever-judgemental leftist cheering-section in the metropolitan venues. Why?... because Miss Hattie had perfectly played the role of a Negress in command essentially of an entire large Southern plantation, who bossed everyone around quite well.   Her ability to control, to a large extent, the head-strong self-absorbed Scarlet…a spoiled, rich White plantation princess was especially well executed and well noted by everyone.

     We insert this example of the hyperactive condition that continuously spurs the shallow

Mammy lectures Scarlet
______________________

and hollow leftists…especially the wealthy ones…when they put on airs about how they are more sensitive to the issues affecting the downtrodden than the middle class and poor-rich slobs who live "down there somewhere".   (poor-rich are folks whose family has 10 million dollars on hand, or less) 

    On the left, one can see the scene wherein Miss Mammy gives Miss Scarlet a straight-faced, factual instruction to her charge that she can't tighten the waistband any more, because, "You done had a baby, Miss Scarlet, and you'll never have an 18 inch waist again".   That line caused all kinds of laughter, perhaps because Scarlet, while very important to the times and the movie's construct, was seen as a forever scheming woman who made a fool of herself over the aristocratic "Ashley".

     She played a generally self-absorbed twit.  Later in the film she settled for Rhett Butler, who was more of a cad such as your humble commentator.  (This writer still believes that this movie is the greatest film ever produced. Sound track included        https://youtu.be/6qr25F9t6Es )

                                      ___________________________________

     We move along, hoping we have convinced many of our growing number of readers that we are not desperately mad.   But, it is necessary to throw down the gauntlet and demand reason from those who have eschewed the usefulness of true reason and worthwhile thought.   The constant drumming of the words racist, racist, racist, and the poor, the poor, the poor has come to the point of being less than a dull pretension.   The fact of the matter is, the United States of America remains the most productive and the most distributive in terms of general wealth on the Planet.

    America would be more wealthy and more productive if the such things as Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Food Stamps were to be cancelled in the next thirty days.   All assistance to the poor or the down on their luck or victims of calamity should be a private matter, initiated by close people and not by Federal and State programmes that essentially encourage "membership" in some kind of Public Welfare Association.

      The guidance of leftist politicians, and lamentably, ostensible members of the rightwing of the American political scene, elected and appointed officials, especially in Washington, District of Colombia, merrily go on their way, ever extending the National Debt.   There is no way that any country can spend its way to prosperity.   Subsidies of salaries, businesses, banks, schools, and the like are poison designed to enslave, in our case, the common American people…numbering some 330,000,000 souls.

     We now have the return of an inundation, again.  And yes, we are aware that the first sentence prompts a redundancy…because we are living a redundancy.  A perfect storm is forming.   The Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States, a certifiable dolt, is attempting to establish a national rule without the restrictions that had been put in place during the construction of the Constitution of 1787.   That document has survived for lo, these many years with few concrete amendments.  It was designed to allow the greatest latitudes of discretion to be left to the various States of the new Union. 

     We are moving quickly into a new Constitutionality that is quite brief, and which will authorise daily arbitrary changes in laws and rules without the permission of the governed.   These statements seems ridiculous, but if one stands back and looks carefully it will be quickly understood that all rule…within the next eight to ten years…will be arbitrary, endorsed by a small gaggle of power elite, similar to communist Red China, and making the United States essentially a dull, grey, sad, rotting and rusting dump like Russia.

     For those who might resist these predictions as being probable, please consider that entire cities inner areas are put to the torch and looted now as a common event.  Perpetrators are almost never detained or arrested.  Those who are handcuffed and transported very frequently are quietly released and bonds cancelled.   This has occurred in Chicago, Portland, Seattle, Detroit, and scores of other places.

     The crassness, arrogance, and hubris demonstrated by the "protestors" during these events is nothing short of flabbergasting. The national media…television and major newspapers…blame Republicans for everything and lament that racism forces people to destroy downtowns anytime and anywhere.  This is not racist cant, it is something that has become part of the "American Way of Life".  Peoples' businesses and abodes destroyed while druggy stoners and thugs cheer and hoot and chant and dance.

     We face again the renovation of the hordes of people coming up to the Rio Grande and other places on the border between Mexico and the United States.  The Official American Press refer to them as "migrants", but they are not "migrants".  They are invaders.   Most folks think that these "migrants" come from Mexico, but the fact is that they actually come from all points imaginable on the Planet.   The three leaders, however, are Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras in Central America.   These three nations with a population combined of  35,000,000 people are found adjacent and/or relatively close to Mexico.

     For several years now, it has become a reality with hundreds, then thousands, then scores of thousands coming up to barge into the United States, especially coming through Texas, and of course, Arizona and California.  For various reasons there are relatively few "migrants" who choose to make their break into New Mexico.   This year has become a particularly heavy traffic march because Joe Biden was elected President and the word went forth that the time had come to go to Gringolandia and plop out a baby on American soil, or whine and moan about the treachery and danger about living in northern Central America, and I am looking for my children who were kidnapped, etc. etc."

     As it turns out, of course, over thirty percent of the males (age fifteen or more) have criminal records.   Many have been deported from the United States on several occasions.  The women have children, sometimes not their own, and others come with a belly full of baby.   Few have completed high school, and many have not even completed primary in the native country.  This writer's blood boils when he sees the famous nun talking about what noble work they are doing on behalf of the "refugees".   She is helping people who will become hapless clingers to whatever welfare they can dredge up in the towns and cities of their destination.  If they are allowed to continue on after crossing the Rio Grande, for instance, they receive an entry permit, and then they are put on a bus to Topeka…or some such place where ostensibly there will be family or close friends who will receive them.   The individuals are required to return to the place of original entry and submit to a hearing to determine if that applicant is qualified to remain in the United States.   Very few, about 15%,  ever come to the required proceeding.  They have "become invisible".   They will be found, however, in delivery rooms at various hospitals, plopping out babies without benefit of shekels.

     Another small problem that the "friends and helpers" of the "migrants" fail to mention in their propaganda messages is that the whole system from Central America to the border is wrought with danger of the highest order.   Cartel people kidnap and hold for ransoms and frequently simply liquidate a dozen or a score or more of inconvenient "clients".   A couple of years ago, in a rural area near San Fernando, Tamaulipas, about 50 miles south of McAllen, the Cartel people stoked up on weed and began taking advantage of the women and finally took measures that wound up killing 75 "migrants" in a ranch compound off of the main highway.   A lone wounded survivor walked to the City of San Fernando, about eight miles away, and encountered the Mexican Army compound, and reported the massacre.    The next morning the Mexican Army personnel searched out and surrounded the eight or nine miscreants who failed to surrender and suffered the consequences.  Autopsies indicated that they were full of drugs and alcohol.

     It is my opinion that there is nothing humanitarian to help people across the Rio Grande when in fact those same people are most likely going to wind up in very unpleasant straits.   The thundering blather by the Democrat Ghouls about how "Trump didn't help the Migrants!!!  Trump kept children in chains (actually photos and episodes that pertained to the Obama regime's rule), Trump was dividing nations, Trump is a bigot" continues to this day.

   What is certain is that strong fences make good neighbours.  I am not a big fan of the Million Mile steel fence…it seemed unnecessarily rough on the vegetation, wildlife, and frequently the sawing of houses, historic cemeteries, and properties into two sections (literally).   One thing was certain, however, and that was that the Cartel people and other "malcreantes" had to face very difficult alternatives in areas where The Fence was functioning.  It required a lot of rethinking, and cost a lot of time and money,  in order to deliver their commodity of habitual ruin and death to the American public.

     The Mexican military liked the wall, and while it is not stated, there were many, many passively and/or informally co-ordinated actions by American Border Patrol, Texas River Patrol, and the Mexican Infantry.   These matters are simply not mentioned, and co-ordination as a matter of fact is generally a matter of both sides helping someone who is drowning in the Rio Grande (Mexican formal name is Rio Bravo del Norte) or who is tangled in a river weed mess…also a really bad way to croak.

     Another thing to remember about all this commotion is that Mexico received and gives out very poor public relations.   There it plenty to complain about in Mexico, there are ridiculous political posturings, long-delayed projects half-constructed, incessant argumentation on the floor of the Mexican Upper and Lower Houses of Congress, and State governments with mono-cameral congresses that bicker and bray, yet succeed in much significant State-level advances.

    But all in all, Mexico functions pretty well…not perfectly…but pretty darned well.  Good restaurants, from the very humble to the regular nice place, and places where one would not be surprised to see business magnates from around the world..and Mexico, and other Important People.  There is a lot of diesel and gasoline of good quality (actually much of the high-test fuel comes in from Exxon in a trade).   Mexico exports medium-low and medium-high quality oil to Exxon and Exxon refines the high-test for significant PEMEX gasoline, and also keep for themselves a certain radioactive mineral that is used various advanced applications.

      Perhaps some day there will be no more Cartel stuff…nor rapacious, psychopathic corruption amongst so many of the middle and high ranking bureaucrats and elected official.   I shall resign for the moment from the screed and allow the sane people to return to their sane activities and productive natures.

     There will more to come in short order.
