It's all about girl power now.
I'm thinking about a youngster right now that fills the bill in that link. Once he gets into school, they are going to do a number on him.
Then the women will whine, "Where have all the men gone."
You women, by voting for leftist, are emasculating the men. Or, you are trying to. Trouble is, you get a whole lot more of the thing you don't want when you do that.
I was on a jury last year. That dude could have been a really bad seed; but he might only have needed somebody to help him out, yet there wasn't anybody. I would have liked to have sat in on the punishment phase of that trial, but they made an alternate out of me. My input must not have been desired.
Funny how that keeps happening.
Anyway, you women don't know what you want, but you sure as hell do want power. All the more reason to deny it to you. You got too much of it already.

Not so fast
While Democrats Fume, Trump becomes jobs President.
Let's not get into groupthink here, you people. The so-called right won this last election, but recent history has not been kind to the GOP.
The two Bushes gave the lefties a hole big enough to drive a semi through it. Trump may be different in temperament, but the results easily could be the same.
I am not so sure that the left has lost its stranglehold on the public. They have way, way, way too much influence. Frankly, a lot of them belong behind bars. I know you can't do that, but if there was a good reason, as I think there is, there could at least be a few shots across the bow. Know what I mean there, Vern?
No, you don't know what I mean. That's what makes it the Stupid Party.
For the Democrats to beat the dumbasses that you are, all they have to do is to show up.

Finally, It’s Put-Up or Shut-Up Time on Healthcare - by Robert Ringer
Finally, It’s Put-Up or Shut-Up Time on Healthcare - by Robert Ringer: The Republican’s initial offering for an Obamacare replacement has a lot of people very nervous, especially those who have to run for office again in 2018. Everyone acknowledges that the bill doesn’t come anywhere near close to accomplishing what Republicans have been promising for seven years — replacing the much-hated Obamacare with a cost-effective solution …
comment:
Ringer comes up with a lot of good stuff, but this isn't one of his better efforts. You can have ideology making an otherwise intelligent person stupid. Oh, by the way, "groupthink" is being blamed for failing to predict a Trump victory. But the media and the left promote groupthink. Anybody who knows what is meant by the term could see it coming a million miles away.
Update:
The thing I forgot to mention is that Ringer may be following in the footsteps of what you see a lot of these days. He surrounds himself with fellow travelers who reinforce the notion that he is a genius. They are a bunch of lackeys who reinforce his notion that he is infallible.
Here's a news flash to some of you out there: we are ALL fallible.

Hardy-har-har
Jokes can spun off of this one, even while the story itself is good for a yuk or two. Talking about moral compasses pointing the way.
Here's a video I want to put up:

Whither Obamacare
It might seem the depth of ingratitude for me to want to see the demise of Obamacare, when I am about to benefit from it greatly.
Yet I wonder if it is good policy overall. Even if it benefits me personally, I do not see that as a good enough reason to support it.
But now I see that there could be some value in it, after all. Again, let's not be ungrateful.
The GOP seems to be considering a bill that would give refundable tax credits as opposed to subsidies. If one policy really is superior to the other, then let them compete. Give people the option of the GOP plan or Obamacare. If Obamacare is going to collapse, this may well help collapse it.
It sure would be better than cutting off the knees of people who are in the middle of difficult and expensive treatments, and may have no options.

Civil War videos
These have been lying around for several years. Sometime back when I bought these videos, I decided that I didn't like them, and so I haven't seen much of them.
But, it sometimes becomes a bit boring around here, so I started watching them recently. What got my interest was that both Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson believed that God was on their side.
It is an interesting proposition to consider when you think about something like that. But if God chose a favorite in that war, it is obvious that he didn't favor the South.
Yet the North was not so virtuous, in my opinion. As opposed to the South, leaving aside slavery, the South may well have been more virtuous. The better society lost.
A commercialized America is what we ended up is my point. In my opinion, we are all too consumed by money in this so-called commercial republic. On the farm, you have what you need. However, in the city, you will have the breeding ground for crime and corruption of all sorts. Again, in my opinion, the love of money is what corrupts men and women, and it is this corruption that is corroding the character of the people of this nation. Indeed, the lack of character is the core of our problem.
If there were any character left, we wouldn't have placed such leaders as William Jefferson Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama in the White House. But you have Nixon, too. It isn't one sided on the partisan level. Both parties are corrupt. The difference is that the GOP pretends to care, and the Democrats obviously could care less about such concepts as integrity and honor.
So the nation slowly "Slouches toward Gommorah", as the GOP pretends to be a speed bump on the road to hell.
While I think that Trump is far superior to Hillary, and therefore we are better off; he is no antidote to the poison that is killing this society.
There may not be a happy ending to this story.

Shoring up some weak points

Well, I have returned from Dallas, and I'm going to wait a week or longer to go back to stay for a couple months. This morning, I felt a bit energetic, so I started to beef up my sliding door to the bedroom area of the trailer.
After cutting a few pieces of wood and screwing them down, it looks to be sturdy enough for regular use. However, it is not sturdy enough for traveling, most likely It may need a few more touches.
Since the bedroom is only about eight by eight, it reminds me a bit of the "coffin" concept. This will enable a low power device to more easily climate control the small area. I'm thinking of passive solar in the winter, and swamp coolers in the summer.
My carpentry skills are not that hot. This thing looks like hell. But I don't care. As long as it works and doesn't fall apart, I'm okay with it. Just doesn't look pretty, that's all.
Update:
Did a few more improvements. It looks a tiny bit better, and is better insulated. However, there is more room for improvement in terms of insulation. Appearance wise, just not that important.
