So it starts.
We can stand up and say: “We are not going to take it anymore.”
Blog?
Jep. That is what you could call it. Actually, I prefer to call it my “cheap therapist.” I registered this web domain almost 25 years ago(!) It has been a work in progress ever since. Anything posted, it is for my own enjoyment, and maybe you might find something to think, laugh, cry, or gnash your teeth about. It is what it is, and it certainly comes without any guarantees or promised results. You might want to call this the “Mission Statement” for this small endeavour of mine.
I tend to pay too much attention to things out of my control. However, if enough of us pay attention, and are not afraid to speak up and question the narrative, perhaps we can be more effective than Harold Beale, although screaming out of the window “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!,” might just be what is needed to let folks know that they too, feel the same way. Perhaps this might affect the change that is needed more desperately now than ever.
Jeepers, the film is from 1976. Gerald Ford was President, and I earned the rank of Eagle Scout, back when it meant something. Today is the 19th of February 2024. “President’s Day” in the USA. It used to be Washington’s Birthday, and Lincoln’s Birthday was another Holiday. I doughnut know if they were “kinder times,” but they undeniably seemed a bit simpler. I can still taste the cherry candies attached to green plastic stems that hung by the cash register at Bieler and Riegner’s store, across from the Farmer’s Bank in Pennsburg, PA. I don’t know how long the link to the photo will be active, since I notice that it is now for sale for another purpose. (If that is not a poignant commentary on the state of affairs, I do not know of one.) It still looks the same as it did when I was a kid:
It still looks the same. It went through a whirlwind of Bank names. I think American Bank was the one that put a drive-through in back in the 80’s.
However, I digress. I might be polite enough to ask for your patience, but could just say “get used to it.”
Moving on. This is a work in progress, and in this case, I beg your patience. It will take me a bit of time to get the old posts back in order, as well as get up to speed on the new structure of the WordPress version. Just getting to the page where I can edit the scripts directly involves new hurdles. Life is a learning experience, I will leave it at that.
How/why/what and where?
You might ask “What changed, Jonnie B?” Well, pilgrim, I glad you asked. A few things occurred, actually it was a cumulation of events.
The main one being that I used to spend HOURS posting on Facebook. It all started out innocently with keeping Reverends Dr. Mom and Pop appraised of what was going on here in Germany, and some of the friends I left behind in the USA.
“Then what happened?” Well, there was the whole “Plandemic,” Osama O’Biden was “elected,” and I strayed from posting “happy content” and questioning the narrative. If you know me, waking up and checking how many “Likes” I received absolutely is not part of my nature. I found it abhorrent that I was falling into the trap, of seeking empty praise from folks I will never meet. What pissed me off even more was getting banned for posting something against the narrative, be it political, medical or social. Funny, now when I post anything on Facebook, I now get the message: “Great content! Maybe you can make a reel”…or something to that effect. Sorry, I will limit any contribution to “Zuckerbucks.” Rarely will I post anything on Facebook to provide “content.” Instead, I will only post links to either content that I own, or content that is important for folks to know that is not being reported in the main-stream media.
A caveat. This will not be the place for you if:
- You think that there are more than two sexes. (except for the instances of hermaphroditism, Woops! Still only TWO sexes)
- If you believe that men can get pregnant.
- If you are going to vote for O’Biden just because you hate Trump. I doughnut like Trump, I never did, as a person, unfortunately, writing-in Ross Perot or Ron Paul is no longer an option. Vote Independent, Libertarian, or for whomever. If you vote for Biden, you are part of the problem.
- If you think that illegal immigration is a “good thing” for any sovereign Nation. Well, then, bring them into your home, and pay their bills until they can get on their feet, assimilate and produce. Sorry sunshine, Illegal is illegal.
- If you think a small child can “decide if they are a boy or a girl.” Crikey. Given the choice between a pile of money, and a box of cookies, they will choose the cookies.
OK, I will stop there, but I hope that you get the point.
There is a choice. Either we can all be alone, and like this:
Jep, we can all be pissed-off and “burned up,”
OR!
We can stand up and say: “We are not going to take it anymore.”
One last note.
This is an entirely self-financed endeavour. It has always been, and I will never put ads on this site. If you find something I have written to be of value, please feel free to donate. More content will be coming. I cancelled my Netflix subscription, not only because of the budget, but to give me more time to write.
