Bonnie Blu......Iran.....Hemp....Whatever

 So, apparently, I am too far into the dark side, or I read too much international news, especially the British press. 

I spelled it "Blu" not to get censored by Facebook.

Bonnie Blue is the "Lonely" Fans  "actress" who is doing whatever to achieve fame and fortune. She may have been a guy at one time.  She is not denying it. 

Bonnie claims she is 25, but if you really look at her, she is pushing 40.  

Anyway, she did 1000 guys in a day. This was right after another "Lonely Fans" ( Lily Phillips)star did 100 guys in a day. And Lily then said she was going for 1000 guys in a day, and well, Bonnie beat her to doing 1000 guys. 

Lily was crying afterwards because not all of the guys were able to "shoot" on her face.....What is this fascination with shooting on another persons face?  Why is this supposed to be sexy? It seems degrading to me. The last place I'd want to shoot on is someone I love's face. 

Lily and Bonnie are both British. Queen Victoria is rolling over in her grave. 

Yeah, nasty, just nasty.  

How could they even walk afterward? 

What self respecting guy would want to be number 59, much less number 677?

And here is the sickening thing, these "events" which take place often have married men, and often the men's wives accompany them to the "event." 

WT Cornbread F ????? 

My wife literally would shoot my pills off, then divorce me.  And I would deserve to be neutered. Pulling a stunt like that.....

Anyway, they have been all over the British media, thus why I know who they are.... 

I don't know, I am a bit old fashion when it come to sex, and well, I know the world is changing, but I don't have to be in some of the changes. At this point, I cannot even fathom having sex with someone different. And to be honest, would be afraid to do so. What if we've been doing it wrong all this time? 

Second-

Iran

It's been 47 years in coming. I guess we always knew this was going to happen. Trouble is, how will it end? 

Will American boys be killed? 

And why now Iran and not North Korea? I am much more concerned about Fat Boy in North Korea deciding to nuke American bases in Asia than the Iranians. 

I fully expect Iranian terrorists to strike in America at some point. And say what you want, Russia, China, back Iran. China has been flying transport planes into Tehran since Israel bombed Iran. And you know those planes are not bringing in pork kebabs and Snicker's bars. 

Why now? They've been saying Iran is about to have nuclear weapon in the next 6 months to 3 years since 1990.  

I don't want to US involved in any war.  

I don't care what you say, the war involves the oil fields in Iran. In every war, follow the economics.  

Already I am receiving messages from people concerned about a draft. I remember the fuckin' Vietnam War. I had relatives killed in Vietnam. My wife's real dad was seriously injured in Vietnam.....And why? The US did not fight to win. 

I don't know what is going to happen, and neither do you....

Third- 

I am wondering if the Iran situation is to take our minds of the situation here at home?

The economy ain't good. I don't care what you/they say. This mess is fixin' to spiral out of control. I am going to write a blog, been working on it for a while, and pray to Jesus my conclusions are wrong. Look for it in coming days.  

 Fourth - 

The Texas governor vetoed SB3, but called a "Special Session" on hemp on July 21st..... Rest assured, the state legislature will feck this up.

"When You Go to War, You Open a Door to a Dark Room"

 Man, of all the people to quote this morning......And the thing is, it might be the only thing he was right about.....

"When You Go to War, You Open a Door to a Dark Room"- Adolf Hitler.....

Got to looking at Gerbert of Gerbert's Void on YouTube. He a Gen Z and he tells you what young men are thinking. Good, bad, otherwise, it's what they are thinking. 

This morning Gerbert was on why young men don't want to go to war for the US concerning Iran....And as someone said, for the last 30+ years, we've heard that Iran was 6 months to 3 years away from a nuclear weapon. 

If that was so, why have they not made one? Hell, North Korea has one. Pakistan has the "bomb.' 

I'm not a fan of the Iranian government, I am not a fan of what they are doing, but in the last 45 years, who has Iran invaded? 

But back to the thinking of Gen Z, and a possible American intervention in Iran, and of course this is not all Gen Z. 

And if you are not paying attention to Gen Z and worse yet, Gen Alpha, you need to be. Their outlook is pretty dire.  

Pretty much Gerbert is saying... " Hell no, we won't go..."  And why young men won't and aren't joining the military....

Here are the top liked comments from the Gen Z....

"Why would i fight for a country that hates me?" 

The fact that there are HOMELESS VETERANS tells you everything you need to know about the US Military"

"the youth are lazy... THEREFORE they need war" "How many times are we gonna hear this and fall for it? "

"I won’t die for Israel"( Top vote receiver)

 I’m one of the guys who went to Afghanistan multiple times. I was an infantryman who fought and lost buddies there. All that sacrifice and for what? look who runs the country now!"

It makes me wonder if there will be a false flag event here in America? I know I am off the rails this morning, but I wonder. Is control of Iran's oil fields and thus control of China? ( Who buys most of Iran's oil)  

The older I get the more I believe Maj. General Smedley Butler USMC, won 2 Medals of Honor was correct? 

I know the USS Carl Vincent another aircraft carrier is now sailing to the Persian Gulf,  along with USS Nimitz....And the British have sent fighter jets to Cyprus and tanker aircraft to the Middle East.

I'm not seeing the value of American boys coming home in body bags.... How many wars have we had in the Middle East in the last 25-30 years?

Okay, I May Upset Many of You With This Blog.....

 I am waiting on Amazon today, and this is not what the today's blog is about......In my life, and partially, it's because I am not a fan of horror. Bad dreams and all, but I have ordered a cheap paperback copy of Bram Stoker's " Dracula." 

Part of was, I had an epiphany when the YouTuber, Wandering Turnip visited the English seacoast town of Whitby in the Northeast of the nation. Stoker lived there for several years and a portion of Dracula takes places there. 

Anyway, Whitby has a church overlooking the sea I would love to visit one Sunday morning for services, and because it's Anglican, we'll take communion...... Then, go on up North and visit the Geordie's in Newcastle....

But, I digress.  

As, I posted yesterday, the United States has sent at least 24-25 USAF refueling planes to the Middle East region....And the the aircraft carrier the USS Nimitz is being sent from the South China Sea to the Persian Gulf. 

( And the computer decided I needed to listen to Coolio and Gangsta's Paradise....And now KALEO "Way Down We Go.")

Man, do we need to get involved in another Middle East "War?" 

The last few well, what have they really accomplish?( Man, I don't want to even discuss Afghanistan. Didn't those Ivy Leaguers take history? The Greeks, British, Russians couldn't stay there...Why could we?)  Other than get young men sent home in bad shape....I've never been a fan of getting involved in wars in Asia. Especially since we now have the oil situation under control....And I have a vested interest in East Asia....

Let me remind you, if we get involved in Iran, will China get involved? 

Where do the Chinese get their oil from? Iran....And I don't know what the Chinese might do..... ( Think Taiwan.)

Wars are unpredictable. Even the Israelis and the Iranians cannot know how their current conflict will end.

This is from Financial Times of London...."It is most likely, however, that the Israel-Iran war will follow its own distinct path. One scenario that worries western security officials involves a desperate Iranian regime deciding to strike back through unconventional means."

Biological?   Chemical? A Nuclear "Dirty Bomb?" 

Desperate people often do desperate things.... 

Even if the US joins the war, there is no guarantees.  

The old Chinese proverb comings to mind...." May you live in interesting times" comes to mind....

World War 3? Was it Her? Other Oddities.....

 I like to do oddities from time to time...Just to get things started.....

I have heard from people all hopped up about the Israel/Iran conflict. Wondering if this is the "End of Time?" " Is Jesus about to show back up?"

All these dispensationalist arm-chair theologians.....Been sitting in too many, Darby, Hal Lindsey, Left Behind, shows, lectures, sermons..... Meant to literally " Scare the Hell out of you" and help you " Find Jesus." 

Back in 1967, 1973 we went through the same thing during the " Six Day War" and the "Yom Kippur War."  Preachers around the country JUST KNEW these were the start of the " End of Time." We're all going to be Raptured. 

Well, 1973 is now 52 year ago....

And the world is knocking and rolling pretty good right now. Ukraine vs. Russia, a couple of weeks ago Pakistan and India and now, Iran and Israel. And I am not going to talk about the Civil Wars that go on in Africa constantly.  

What I really worry about is the price of gas at the pumps. But companies like Baker-Hughes are saying normal operations in the Middle East in spite of the Iran and Israel.  

 And the price of West Texas oil was down in price. 

- Second, about 5 people now have wondered if the person who did not get a "sniff" from Buna High concerning the government/economics job?

Was it Tara Sullivan-Laramore?  

And while I think Tara would be great in the position,  and I asked her to apply, she is done with teaching at this point.....And I do not blame her. 

Plus, I think she is getting a chance to travel sometime during the coming school year.....And if there is one thing the Ole Govteach is about it is traveling. Hell, St. Deb and I just did a bizarre Pittsburgh, across America to Seattle, to ride a damn boat to Alaska trip. ( And did I mention the best part of the trip....NY Strip steak every night for supper....) 

Travel while you can folks..... 

-Third......And I will catch flak for this one.....My 50th Reunion from Vidor High School is coming up at the end of this month...

I made the executive decision, I ain't going, and the venue it is being held in, is not far from my house. 

I just don't think I can stomach going to talk about my old high school days......I spent 30+ years after high school, still in high school.....I might get confused about some of the stories......And besides, people I really want to see, are not going. 

And the rest, well, when I walked out of VHS, I hoped to never see them again......I know, ugly, but it's the truth...

I Cussed the Buna Schools....Badly.....What is Going on Up There?

I know, I know, I shouldn't swear....

I know, I know I shouldn't let Buna ISD get me all "stirred up."

And, I had been pretty good not cussin' but lately, I've hopped off the rails here, as Paul said in Romans 7: 19 " For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do." KJV ( I posted in King James Version for all of you who think that KJV is somehow better than other versions. You know, those of you stuck in 1600s Stewart/Stuart England....Or perhaps you're just a fanboy/fan-girl of King James VI & I.....And we'll talk about that later, meanwhile read his letters to George Villiers......)

So, if Paul had that problem, well, a heathen who grew up in the woods of Vidor, well, sometimes I get off the "straight and narrow."

Yesterday, I discussed the fact Buna Schools are a "District of Innovation" and they can hire folks without certification...Trouble is, you're supposed to be hiring folks with certification when they are available. 

So, I was done writing on the certification situation at Buna.....Seriously, I was. Was looking at writing on the Iran situation, and either the US or Israel bombing Iran.....

Then, I receive a private message from someone who has been in the education "bidness" for a while.....

They are a Buna alumni and had applied for the Government/Economics job at Buna.....................

They hold a high school Social Studies Certificate. One that is valid. ( You have to say valid now, as the state no longer issues LIFE certificates like oldsters like myself hold.You have to re-new them now. Pay $150 every few years.Think it's still $150)

They also have experience teaching secondary social studies. 

They were upset, it seems they didn't even get a sniff. 

It makes you wonder, how many people were overlooked who had experience, and more importantly certificates.  

You know, Buna ISD, it's like you're just doing whatever I want to do, screw the rules....Or even what makes sense. 

Kind of makes you wonder...What the Cornbread Fuck is Going on Up There????????

 Does the board really know is another question?

Or, just another type of Buna clique?  

I seriously worry about the move from elementary to 12th grade by the next government/economics instructor. I worry the seniors will eat her alive.  

And I'm serious when I say this, if I were to apply at Buna today( Before you knew who/what I am) after my time in Dayton, Magnolia Schools, I wouldn't have a damn dog's chance of being hired.....

Certifications @ Buna ISD?

I've heard from a number of people upset about the number of people at Buna ISD that do not have a certificate to teach the subject that they are teaching....I even have heard from people upset that the new gov/eco teacher allegedly isn't certified to teach government and economics. And they're a little upset by it.... 

I know when I walked out of university I was credentialed to teach history, government( I remember the old days for a couple of years they put Government, Civics, Political Science on the certificate,) geography....and crazy ass subjects I could just about see me teaching....psychology, sociology, anthropology....

Also, when I was hired by Buna, I had to be certified to teach government and economics before I was even considered. It was a big damn deal.  Then Supt. Leland Williams checked my certification....Three times.... 

And I know it's harder than ever to find some one to teach.....But finding certain fields are much easier than others.....

Out of this, the Buna Board of of Trustees are saying that everyone should be certified by the year 2029.....How damn many are teaching in fields they are not certified? And those hired now should be certified with a year......Allegedly to meet once a month with the building principal to discuss their progress....I wonder if anything will happen at the end of the year if they do not gain certification?

That's 4 years out for all teachers being hired, I assume.....Trouble is, in 4 years, will anyone want to teach, much less teach in Buna, other than "old hands?"

Damn You Sorry A$$ People.....

 I really did not plan to get up and deal with the mayhem in LA at 1:30AM CDT on YouTube. 

But, some sorry ass individual has thrown out a dog in our neighborhood. This happens from time time. I guess they look at us and decide, " Those people will probably take care of Fluffy."

When in reality, Fluffy winds up on FM1130 run over trying to make it home. 

Folks, if you get a dog, cat, snake, rat, possum, whatever as a pet, plan on this being a multi year deal.  

I certainly don't need nor want to dog. I've been out of the "dog bidness" for over 15 years now.  

Someone has thrown out a White Boxer. 

The sumofabitch got under the house, and cried all night long. And would not come out. 

I damn near got my Mas 49/56 and sent it to see "Doggie Jesus" but I thought better as it was under the house.  Plus, don't need to shooting a .308 round under the house. 

It has finally disappeared from under the house. Trouble is, I have neighbors with chickens, livestock, not as nice as me and a strange dog shows up, well, it'll be "Doggie Jesus" time with them. 

But seriously folks, you got a dog, don't just toss it out.

I've Been Everywhere Man........I Wax Philosophic and Worry....

 Hate to steal a line from the old school C&W musician Hank Snow. ( Yeah, I know, most of you reading this won't have a clue who he is....Long time member of the Grand Ole Opry, sang, "I've Been Everywhere, " " I Don't Hurt Anymore,"  and my favorite Hank Snow song, " Hello Love.")

I am fairly well traveled, been places I've never dreamed of going, like Kunming, China.......The Plain's of Abraham( And they're not in Israel)......The West Bank.....( We're looking hard at Croatia across to Northern Italy next... Visit the home of the Renaissance....)

But, I ain't never been to Los Angeles.....Ain't on that bucket list, we went to San Francisco a few years ago and well, that was enough of California. 

I am ain't lying, we felt safer in Derry, Northern Ireland walking around in the middle of the hotbed of the "Troubles" and a rough part of The West Bank than San Francisco. 

I can't fathom what kind of hellhole LA is now. 

We wound up watching the riots over immigration yesterday. You Tube, Rumble now is the choice for news. Fuck CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, News Nation......Get a phone, a cheapo camera and stream live from YouTube....

Now, don't get me wrong, I am all about immigration. Seriously......Hell, we got one....And knowing my child, even as a child, we were not shocked we have a Chinese daughter-in-law. ( Our child was born about 32 years old. He was always an adult. ) 

And the way our nation is going, we need immigration to keep our economic numbers up.  

And the way things are going, I wonder what our demographics will look like in 2050? In 25 years, well, I doubt I am around. I'm hoping to just make in to 2035.  

Here is where I was lost yesterday......And I posted this on FB yesterday. 

Why, if you're wanting to be here.....Why are you rioting with the flag of Mexico, or Honduras, or Columbia? 

Now, I'm all about being proud of your ancestry, I tell folks all the time about where my people were from, but hell, the last group of my people, the Irish, got here in the 1800s. Others, were here in the 1600s. The French from Nova Scotia, 1745..... But still proud of my heritage.....

And say what you want, we all came to the New World for some economic reason, either hoping for it to get better, or a sinister reason beyond our control.  

I'm also a proud holder of an American passport. Seriously, of my personal possessions( We'll call it that), it might be my favorite item I possess. I guard Deb's and mine like gold.  

If this wasn't "The Bright Shining City on the Hill" why come here, and perhaps it is losing some of its luster now? 

Again, what will the U.S. look like in 40-50 years? I know this is a hard discussion already in Great Britain and Ireland, how they'll look in 40-50 years. 

Perhaps, this is the start of the end of the " American Empire" and don't go telling me, we'll be in charge forever. All nations lose their power. I know I read a meme about someone saying, " What will historians be writing in 2100?"

Are We This Soft?

 I seriously have been thinking about writing about the economy. Perhaps a series on what is going on......Trouble is, I write on economics,my readership literally goes into the toilet. 

If I was just writing for myself, well, I'd only write on economics, perhaps British History, British politics. They've got a bigger mess going on right now than we do with the Musk/Trump cuss fight.......

No, I became amazed at the owner of Barstool getting out of control, cussing out one of his podcast hosts, for saying it was okay to tell Jewish jokes. He cussed is podcaster so much, I would have quit and walked out. 

The owner, who in the past has done Asian, Black jokes, apparently draws a line when it is about Jews. He is Jewish....And don't give me well, the Jews...Yada, yada, yada....Try being a Christian in the Middle East, or China....Heck, most of the non-Western world...

Man, we are soft now. 

Offended by about everything....... 

Man, I am a " Duke's Mixture" of nationalities, including Coonass and Irish, and ain't nobody likes a good Coonass, or Irish joke more than me. 

I grew up Southern Baptist and attended one of their seminaries. The good Lord knows I love a good Baptist joke, because, well, most of them are rooted in truth. 

Hell, my favorite joke is a Baptist one....

Q-" Why do you always carry two Baptists when you go fishing?"

A-" Because if you only carry one, they'll drink all the beer." 

I don't know anymore, we're just looking at something in today's world to be offended by.....

Flying Lawn Mower?

 For those of you not keeping up with the war between Russia and Ukraine.....It seems Ukrain has blown up someplace between 20 and 41 of Russia's nuclear bombers. This is a major part of their nuclear defense. 

These were in areas thousands of miles from Ukraine.  

It seems drones were smuggled into Russia in what in Europe/England are called lorry trucks, the equivalent of what in the Southern U.S. we would call an 18-wheeler.  

Then, using the Russian cell-phone service, the drones were flown from these trucks to the sites of the bombers and the drones, which were one-time suicide in nature crashed into the tires being used to camouflage the planes from high-tech of the modern world, causing the tires to be set ablaze, burning so hot, the wings on the planes melted off, causing fires to spread to the rest of the aircraft.  

Experts are saying even if the Russian economy could afford it, would take 20+ years for Russia to rebuild aircraft to replace those that were destroyed.  Presently, the Russian economy is not in good shape. So, maybe 30-40 years?

Russia is not the only nation that should be waking up and paying attention. Large military items around the world are now proven to be easy targets, hugely expensive whilst being highly vulnerable, and conceivably obsolete in modern warfare. There's not a defense ministry around the world that shouldn't be studying Ukrainian military strategy and methodology. ( If this was not dreamed up first by a Western intelligence group and given to Ukraine....Say British intelligence...)

Think how vulnerable American B-52s and B-1 Bombers are now how exposed to terrorist attack by say Houthis from Yemen using as they have been described, " Flying Lawnmowers." ( Drones)  

Trust me, terror groups are thinking about doing this to American military infrastructure.  

And presently, so far, Russia has done nothing to respond.

It is Good?

 So, we've been on the road for what seems like a long while now. 

It's good to be home. 

I don't know, we have problems here in SETX. I often wax philosophically about this area. And I often get frustrated with "here." 

But, those pine tree are good to come home too. 

We at least know how to cook rice. We are still for the most part, nice to folks. 

Housing is still somewhat affordable. Then again, who else, but us would want to live here, and I am among the first to get upset with the thinking here, and yes, I am forever going to try and make people here realize that it is no longer 1952. And often our choices here are still stuck here. 

And it is good to leave and see the other side, and yes, I encourage people to see the world. And for many of you, well, you need to go away. 

Some to see and stay, others to see and decide, perhaps it's not that bad back home. 

I don't know, the state is changing in certain areas, regions, so much, well they'll never be the same. They've become a California, a sanitized version of Texas, something so different their grandparents would not recognize it. And while we need to pull ourselves into 2025, stop hating so many other people, but on the other side of the coin, our ancestors would still recognize the place.  

It's good to be home. As many of you know, I now walk with a cane. People here held the doors open for me yesterday, and I made sure I thanked them....In other places, we may as well be in New York and people, especially youth, about knock you down trying for whatever reason to be first in the door.....  

And I thank you parents here for teaching your kids..... Yes sir, yes ma'am, holding doors especially for older folks. And I wonder if at some people that'll go away too?  

It's good to be home.... 

 

Bonnie Blu......Iran.....Hemp....Whatever

 So, apparently, I am too far into the dark side, or I read too much international news, especially the British press.  I spelled it "B...
