Biden touts "creation" of 500,000 jobs per month

President Biden posted on facebook that the economy is now adding back 500,000 jobs per month, when it was only adding 60,000 per month under the previous administration. 

Let's look at the possible reasoning behind this, shall we?

Under Trump, and before covid, the economy was doing well. Unemployment was low for most demographics and dependence on the government was also down.

The number of new jobs actually created recently is very low. Most of these jobs are actually ones that were abandoned by workers when they were promised extra unemployment pay due to the pandemic.

Is it a coincidence that people are going back to work now that several Republican governors have ended the extended unemployment pay outs?

Biden & his handlers are famous for skewing the truth and making it sound like they are the ones responsible for anything that gets better after this pandemic. He has his supporters convinced that he is the one responsible for the covid vaccine roll out. In fact, Biden received his first dose before he was even inaugurated so it should be clear that Trump is the one responsible for getting that ball fast tracked and rolling. Biden is just riding that wave and claiming credit for something he had nothing to do with.

The fact that so many people believe these lies is what caused me to lose faith in humanity. At the rate of idiotic comments on the Biden facebook page, it's very possible that he actually did get 8+ million votes before people are complete morons.

Grey's Anatomy got woke?

I have to say, the wokeness of the last couple seasons made me really want to shoot my TV. About half of their cast of doctors are people of color. In a city that is only 7% black. You really want me to believe that these people are discriminated against?

When Maggie told Amelia to check her white privilege, I almost puked. Really, Maggie? You're mixed. You've lived a charmed life with amazing parents. You're a genius that graduated early and is a chief of cardio surgery before the age of 30. You're pretty privileged compared to most people I know.

The Avery's are rich because of the foundation that the old white grandfather started yet they bitched about him all the time. They were free to step away from the family name and make their own way but they rode those riches for their entire lives.

Many others worked hard to get where they are and they fought racial tensions because they are older. But these young folks making 6 figures, buying yachts and fancy sports cars can shut the hell up. Systemic racism is a joke. People need to take responsibility for their own lives and actions. You want something better? Do better. Stop blaming your lack of success on racism. 

HR 127 - Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act

HR 127 was introduced by Jackson Lee from Texas on January 4th, 2021. Here are some highlights and a link to the document so you can read all 19 pages for yourself, if you'd like.

Registration: A federal system of tracking possession and licensing of firearms will be maintained by the ATF. Not all states require registration of firearms at this time.

Location: Gun owners must provide all firearm info to the ATF as well as where the firearm will be stored. Am I supposed to call them every time I move it? Like, during the day it's on my person, at night it's by the bed? If I get up to go to the kitchen in the middle of the night and take it with me, do I have to call and report that too? 

Access to Data: This information will be housed in a database "accessible to all members of the public" as well as law enforcement, the government, etc. This I have a serious issue with. If this passes, you can bet your sweet ass that I will NEVER follow these guidelines. Not a chance in hell am I going to allow my personal information to be in a public database along with all the guns that I own and where I keep them. That's just asking for criminals to break in or attack you.

Insurance: Owners will be required to carry firearm insurance at the cost of around $800 a year. No mention of what this insurance has to cover but that's more than car insurance, in some cases. That better cover me getting sued if I have to shoot someone.

Overall, another poor attempt to curb gun violence that is way off the mark. All this will do is turn law abiding gun owners into criminals and open up way more personal gun sales that are off the record to avoid being tracked.

Stop the cycle, save the children

The fact that we keep seeing stories of young people committing heinous crimes is a sad sign of the future of our country. What's the answer? It's not going to happen overnight but everyone needs to step up and do something in their own lives to stop the cycle.

I'm sure many folks won't like my thoughts on this and I don't care. I'm at that age where I'm going to say my piece and if you don't like it, you're free to move on and do your own thing. But, if you are guilty of any of these "behaviors", you may be part of the problem.

• Stop glamorizing celebrities, crime & promiscuity.
• Teach kids personal responsibility.
• Single motherhood is not something to be promoted.
• Don't let your kids grow up believing they are victims.

Crime & promiscuity is not something to be celebrated. Far too many folks idolize these celebrities that show rampant crime & sexual activity in their videos and expect that their kids won't grow up thinking that is normal. It should NOT be normal. Having children out of wedlock with multiple people should NOT be normal. Robbing people and shooting guns all over town should NOT be normal or accepted behavior.

We need to stop raising our kids to believe that they are doomed to failure just because of their current situation. It's a struggle to get out of a bad situation but it can be done if you try and stop blaming others for your shortcomings. Make sure your kids understand that they are not entitled to anything. That hard work is what gets you forward in life. That being kind to others is not a weakness. That the government is not there to take care of you.

Being a single mother is difficult. I've been a single mother for 18+ years but I only had one child and I don't consider myself a super hero. Yes, some women find themselves in this situation due to no fault of their own and they do their best. It's awesome to support them. However, if you're a single mother with multiple children, by different fathers, you did that to yourself. If you got pregnant once and weren't smart enough to figure out how that happened and take steps to avoid it, I have no empathy for you. I know there may be extenuating circumstances for some but I'm willing to bet that a good portion of women in this position are there due to their own personal choices, or lack of planning. Again, take responsibility for your own life and stop blaming your failures on everyone else.

Stop telling your kids that, just because you struggled as a child and an adult, that they are doomed to follow the same path. If you really want your kids to succeed, instill in them better behaviors. Don't play the victim yourself. Make them take responsibility for their own actions. Make sure they understand what hard work is. Be involved in their relationships with others and make sure they aren't falling in with the wrong crowd. Raise your children and don't depend on the people around you to do it. If you have children, they are your responsibility. If you continue to allow them to be a victim and blame others for their actions, YOU are the problem with the state of our country. 

Far too many people are being raised without the ability to think for themselves. They only follow what others tell them to do and believe. They can't think form their own thoughts or opinions. The fact that this has become a rampant problem is clear in the sheer # of people that have voted for the party that clearly wants socialism to take over the United States. They have no idea what that would really mean for our country. We have to stop this cycle and get our kids on the right path, before they grow up and destroy our country.

A disappointing realization

I haven't been on facebook for several weeks. Too much depressing garbage leading up to the election and I didn't want to deal with it. Today, I went on to check out what was happening and catch up on pics of my baby nephew when I came across a post that irked me.

A friend, that I knew was on the opposite end of the political spectrum, has been much more active during the days since the election. That's fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinions but the things that this person posted were so easily debunked that I have to wonder if they are really as intelligent as I used to think.

Posts and memes that confirm for me that they are just like so many others who refuse to do any research into the facts behind their posts and simply post because it gets them attention. In addition, almost every single post referenced race in some way. And I would never say this person is racist but I have to wonder where their true feelings lie when that's all that they can seem to talk about?

This person exhibited many of the characteristics that I find abhorrent in the liberals of today.

* Inability to research or accept facts
* Constant reference to race instead of the true merits of the person in question
* Intolerance of anyone with differing opinions

And why aren't liberals bragging about all the plans & policies that Joe & Kamala have? Seems all they can focus on is that she is black & female. Sure doesn't seem like the right qualifications to run the country to me.
