The world is so insane the better half is now listening to soft jazz.

 

And that is a big switch for her.

 

And being the better half she is already concerned about if we put boots on the ground, how many of these soldiers are parents. And if so what about their children?

 

This war is so wrong on so many fronts that her concern is genuinely needed to be considered. Why should children lose their parents to satisfy the desperate needs of a failing presidency?

 

There is a very peaceful, practical, legal yet difficult path to change the course of our country and if anyone is interested I will be glad to spell it out. We need change immediately or this desperate man is going to take this whole ship down with him.

One key factor is partisanship needs to be thrown out before him so we can bring about productive change. The hate and finger pointing are part of the problem so that needs to go. We don’t have to agree on everything, but we do have to agree on three or four important pieces of legislation to get us to the midterms once change is made.

Campaign reform with limits to be given and a temporary pause on PACS and Super PACS etc being able to campaign at all. Then true long term campaign reform.

Start talks to end the war without compromising American interests which will be one hell of a tight rope to walk.

End the partial shutdown which may or may not include ICE for the moment.

Pass a budget that basically holds the fort on spending until we get to the midterms and the people can elect representatives that truly represent them.

The process is in the Constitution and Amendments and it begins with we the people.

It’s insane It’s insane It’s insane It’s insane It’s insane……….

 

Why are we still using fossil fuels for just about everything? Why?

Outside of some very specific reasons like lubricants for heavy machinery there is no reason.

Renewable energy shouldn’t be a problem. Too many people fall for the myth that we need fossil fuels.

First of all Oil and it’s byproducts are poison to the human body. It is flat out poison. No matter how you mask it, it will kill you. Yes kill you.

Oil creates geopolitical nightmares. Yes we have one now, but this isn’t the only one or will be the last one if we keep relying on oil.

A few people make billions the rest of the world gets hurt economically every time there is a geopolitical nightmare that causes the price of oil to skyrocket.

Nowadays it is getting more and more expensive to drill for oil and that is why companies don’t create new oil wells until the price of oil reaches a certain point and they feel comfortable it will stay that high. Only the producers benefit, the rest of us suffer pocketbook nightmares just to get to work.

Why do people continue to believe this myth we need fossil fuels? There is no real answer. The oil companies will put out their propaganda, yet if you dig deep enough it flies in the face of common sense.

Nothing is perfect, but renewable energy is much better than fossil fuels.

Also plastics are not doing the human body and the environment any favors. We could go back to glass containers. Sure it would take some investment and we would need to recycle glass, yet it can be done. Remember when we paid five cents for the bottle and got it back when we returned the bottle. Updating this policy will work. And if someone says that takes effort, laugh at them. That small effort will save us a fortune in health care costs for all the poison destroying our bodies from the byproducts of oil. And yes we are paying a price for this madness.

Cardboard or wooden boxes, again something that can be recycled with effort. We are only fooling ourselves that we need plastics. And even if people are inconsiderate and just leave this trash around, eventually it biodegrades unlike plastic.

There are many alternatives to oil. We just need to make the investment in time, money and energy to get us there. There is absolutely no reason to continue to destroy this planet so a few people who already have billions can make billions more.

Another advantage would be the development of new energies will create new wealth to help close the wealth divide or at least create new millionaires etc.

No matter what the oil industry says, there is no benefit to continuing this madness. Sure it won’t happen overnight so the people employed by the oil industry won’t lose employment right away. The transition takes time so the employment picture will not be radically affected if young people head to the new energy development instead of looking for oil field jobs.

And again getting off oil will reduce the number or unnecessary wars such as the one we are in right now.  The only person who truly benefits from the human race being on fossil fuels is the evil one. Everything else is interchangeable, saves lives, produces new industries and jobs, gives us a cleaner environment and allows humanity to grow not self destruct.

Always in our hearts

 

City of man stuff, and our Senate is ?

 

First it is sad how weak is our Senate. The are like abused wives, afraid to speak up because they don’t want to be hit again. When in reality they are grown adults with very definite responsibilities. Why are they so afraid to do their job? Sure the Iranian regime are monsters to their own people and a danger to the world, but how are we better if our own government cannot do their job. There are three branches of government and each has to follow the law to make sure our government works. When certain members are so scared of their shadow they cannot even require some basic information from one branch, why are they in office?

Yes we can cheer the demise of an autocratic government or cheer regime change if it happens, but this should not come at the cost of who we are as a people and for our government.

I don’t want to talk about Mike Johnson in the House, because he is every bit the abused wife going along to get along. Does he not hear himself?

Real adults can upset the apple cart when needed and Trump’s applecart needs some upsetting or how are we to tell other countries that we support their efforts to do what is right. When our soldiers are put in harm’s way, it should not be done on a whim or at the behest of another government. The President should and must come to the people and let us know what is going on, so the Senate has every right and responsibility to put a hold or limit what is done until the people have the full and CORRECT story. I am tired of the lies and sycophants. Wake up America or is it we just cannot afford coffee anymore?

 

Okay some of you may have paid attention to know I started a very specific second blog where I only update to a second Substack blog. Well I ran into a roadblock today, not a large one and definitely can crawl over it, but it was frustrating.

I had a hunch the Dallas Public Library is not Catholic friendly and it was somewhat reinforced today. There are suggested readings in the front of the copy of City of God I am reading and I went to check some of those books out. I searched for 4 based on titles etc. The library had none of them, not in any branch. The wonderful guy at the counter offered to try an inter library transfer from Dallas Theological Seminar. They only had one ebook. When he first said Dallas Theological Seminar I was impressed since they are more an evangelical institution, yet no real luck there either.

Maybe I should go enroll in a class at University of Dallas just to use their library for this journey. Yet I do not think I want to go that crazy. This is supposed to be a relaxed journey where I hopefully walk through the City of God learning as I go. I do not think I am ready to create new discoveries in the City of God.

There are hundreds of thousands of Catholics in Dallas proper, yet the library doesn’t seem to think we are that important. If they want to call me out, they can reach out.

I am tired of people saying they believe in God when the whole world relishes what the evil one wants from us more than what God is wanting to give us. Anyway I will continue my journey on that blog and if you read this on the other platforms come on over and check it out. I am in way over my head, lol.
