The Electoral College Is In

Let's see...the Electoral College, or the electoral college, depending what source you site, is in. Donald Trump is now the official president. I've been hearing rumors about death threats to electors, threats of gang rapes of female electors, and other sundry violence. Hey lefties and liberals...GROW UP!!!!! You lost. Get over it. We had to put up with your shit for 8 years. Guess what? The shoe is on the other foot now. Suck it up. Now go see your therapist and have a good cry.

The dust is settling post election

I have refrained from commenting about the 2016 election until now. I wanted to wait until things settled down. Now that the recounts are basically over, and Trump gaining votes in Wisconsin as a result...thank you Jill Stein, it's time to start moving things forward.

Liberals have no one to blame for Donald Trump becoming president, except for themselves. After pushing the working class, especially the white working class, down for the past 50 years, the proletariat finally rose up against the bourgeoisie. Just like Marx predicted would happen. Hear that liberals? Guess what you educated types that wear your moral superiority on your sleeves, YOU are the bourgeoisie, and you just got handed your asses on a silver platter. You can whine all you want about how Trump is an embarrassment, and guess what? We don't care. We don't care about your global citizenship, we don't care about your education level, and we don't care about the fact that you hate the fact that we don't care about your opinions. You dissed us, we will continue to dis you. Donald Trump is going to be the president of the United States of America. Go have your cocoa, color in your coloring books and see your therapists.  End of discussion.

Is A Military Coup Possible In The United States?

In regards to my post about where this country could be headed, I think that there is a possibility of a military coup that would "fundamentally transform" this county. People are looking for strong leadership, and are sick and tired of a government that is becoming more and more corrupt every day. Enter Donald Trump. More to follow on this...What would life be like in the United States if our corrupt government was overthrown by a military coup? I don't know exactly, but I do have an idea of what things would be like. After all, I served in the United States Air Force for 26 years.

 I've lived on base, and off base. I rose in rank from an E-1 Airman Basic, to an E-8 Senior Master Sergeant. I've been junior enlisted, and a senior non-commissioned officer. Because I am familiar with military culture, I would not have a problem adapting to the United States being run by the military. I would survive just fine. However, there are a lot of people that would have a hard time with it. It would definitely be a rude awakening for some people. Many aspects of society would "fundamentally change." Enter the "special snowflakes." The so-called free spirit types, who call for more government control over other peoples' lives, would be the biggest whiners, because more government control over other peoples' lives would also mean more control over their lives too. You can't have it both ways.

The first thing that would change would be the make up of the government. We would no longer have three separate parts of the government, checking and balancing each other. Everything would be under the control of the military. Our legislative branch of the government would be dissolved. Even the judicial branch of the government would be under the control of the military, just like the military courts martial system.

Everyone from the Commander In Chief to the lowest worker on the totem pole would have a military rank. There would be two rank structures just like the military...officer and enlisted. Only 15% of the working population would be allowed  by law to become officers, which means that at any given time, only 15% of the school age population would be allowed to go to college. You must have a college degree in order to become an officer. Everyone else would go to some sort of trade school based on the needs of the military governorship. Personal ability would be considered, but personal desire would be secondary. There would be options for a small select number of enlisted personnel to become officers, but the criteria for qualification would be the same: You would have to have earned a college degree, and you would have had to earn it before you reached a certain age and rank.

We are in the process of a great sorting right now, and there have been times in this country where this has occurred. We went from an agrarian economy to an urban industrial economy during the Industrial Revolution. We are now moving from an industrial based economy to an information age economy.


The Rationing Of Public Transportation

This is kind of a continuation of my December 30th post. As most people know, I'm an urban kind of person. I have no desire to live in the country, or in a small town where you have to be reliant on an automobile to transport you everywhere. I love riding public transportation. I only drive when I have to, and many times that driving is driving to where I can catch public transportation to my final destination. Currently, I live in the inside the Beltway suburbs of Washington, DC.

This is the point of this blog post... Convenience, and how things are made inconvenient in order to force a certain demographic into their cars, despite all the environmental bleating from the Left. Why would these environmental types and the local governments want to force a certain demographic into their private vehicles? Because, doing so generates tax revenue.

I live in Prince George's County, Maryland. Let's look at the demographics of the county: Black professionals, middle class, working class, and poor; White working class, lower middle class, pink class, and a smattering of White professionals, and a small smattering of Asian lower middle class, middle class, and professionals. With exception, many of the people that live in this county work in the suburbs, and don't commute into the city, except for some of  the professionals and a smattering of non-professionals like secretaries and such. Some commute county to county, but the majority commute both to work and live here in PG County.

Many of the residents of PG County have a problem riding public transportation. It's not part of their culture. Dan Reed of Greater Greater Washington wrote an article a while back describing this phenomenon pertaining to the Black middle and upper classes. Many of them grew up in DC and before they started making decent money and moved to the suburbs, they were poor and were reliant on public transportation. Once they arrived, so to speak, they distanced themselves from the trappings of the working poor, and the ghetto poor. That meant driving everywhere, even if there was a bus stop feeding the Metro right across the street from their house. Another demographic that won't use public transportation are the working class whites and lower middle class whites. For them, even though they won't admit it, it's racism. They are not going to ride bus public transportation with those "little brown people," and those N word types. They will ride the Metrorail if they work in DC, but not the buses.

It's sad, but that is the reality of the situation. Hopefully, as this part of Prince George's County becomes more gentrified things will change. Maybe then, Metro and the PG County Council will reach an agreement to increase the bus service serving the Metrorail, as well as bus service as an alternative to the rail system. I hope so.

2016 Election

I'm really enjoying the circus of the 2016 election. I have seen nothing like this in my lifetime. Working in Montgomery County (MC), Maryland, I get to hear the opinions of self-righteous, elitist, upper middle class or wealthy, Bethesda or Potomac living, college educated white liberals on a regular basis. It's amazing how much disrespect they have for the white working class. Isn't tolerance a wonderful thing. Along those lines, Donald Trump scares the livin hell out of them, because he has woken up a sleeping giant.

I'm going to make this short and sweet. First of all, I am not a huge fan of The Donald. That being said, I'm enjoying the fact that he has stirred up a hornet's nest. It's a hornet's nest that should have been stirred up a long time ago. The establishment politicians from both parties are squirming in their seats between pants wetting sessions. Also, the upper middle class and wealthy liberals from MC are doing the same. They are scared, and they are lashing out. After all, many of them are beholden to government money, either directly or indirectly. Under a President Trump administration, their gravy train would go away. It will no longer be cronyism business as usual. What I'm really enjoying is watching the liberals' underlying ideology coming to the forefront: their direct, like the residents of places like Takoma Park and their employment with various non-profit activist organizations, or indirectly, like the contractors and government contractors that commute from Gaithersburg, Marx said there would be a revolution in which the proletariat would rise up against the bourgeoisie. Well guess what it's coming true. The white working class non-educated, proletariat scum are rising up against you. You are the bourgeoisie. They are ready to take you down. Let's hope that there will be a quiet revolution at the ballot box, and not one where the peasants start climbing over the wall with their torches and pitchforks.  No matter who is elected president this year, things are changing. I'm just sitting here laughing and enjoying the circus.
