Nothing much

 from mangledman:

Things are going along so, so.  There is a new alternative free speech platform that took off just over a week or so ago, and seems to be doing quite well.  It is pretty neat that moral, conservative, Christian people are showing up in droves.  There seems to be a huge lack of immoral trolls wich I f IP and puzzling so far.  If anyone wants to leave FB, Twitter type data mining, censored sites behind, head on over to USA.LIFE.com and check it out.  People showing up say positive things, and me not knowing any other social media, couldn’t know better.
Going to war in Venezuela didn’t go over well, but the propaganda band plays on.  Even the NY times picked up on the Molotov cocktail that was thrown to start the aid caravan on fire missed by mile, but the fire started on cue anyway.  Imagine that!!  Rubio screaming evil horrible socialists out one side of his mouth, but nothing about the ones in his chamber, while supporting RED FLAG UNCONSTITUTIONAL gun grabbing out the other.  I would like to think everybody knows Bolton’s job for politics is dirty for all to see in Nicaragua, and we’ll put him in charge of smuggling in weapons disguised as aide like before.  Hey it worked once and he got no jailtime!  I am so disgusted by with the same names wash, rinse, and repeat.  Nobody is facing charges, getting indicted, going to jail.  Is this not past pathetic?
I have been in the process of moving again.  Doctors and Pain management process is a shameful process, that I pity any sane person  endure.  If I hadn’t been down this road for decades, maybe, but doubtful any sense could be made.  Having been away for almost 5 years the bizarre is mind-boggling.  It seems like medicine went back to 70s standards, where everything was addictive.  What I wouldn’t give to find a good honest Doctor these days.
I did find a brighter side, and a positive note.  USA.LIFE has a lot of Christians and Pastors showing up, and it looks like an Island of Conservatives.
Doing family type things has me putting road miles in for the kids and moving too.  I’ll be durned if two Indiana Whitetails didn’t cross my path the other night.  There probably wasn’t two feet between them, and all I got was a headshot on the second one with the headlight.  Well our boy is tinkering with the headlight, so as I am looking for the critter to make sure it’s not lying there suffering. This County Mounty shows up. He’s got about 40 lbs on me, and as I am gimping down the road in the dark he wants to get face to face with me after we deduce my auto damaging vittles decided to decline the offer of my table.  I might not have been quite so offended if his hide wasn’t hanging out in traffic, so I straightened up looked him straight in the eyes, and kept right on talking.  Don’t know what it was, but if my posture was slouched he was practically touching me before I straightened up.  This intimidation tactic grates my craw, and by refusing to be intimidated and being  friendly with him he asks my kids if I am alright.  I guess I kinda feel sorry for some of these guys.  Thinking it is safe to be that close to somebody they don’t know, just met, requires far more bravado than common sense.  Police officers didn’t used to act this way.  They stayed arms length for safety sake.  We had a trooper shoot a man in the face and killed him about 6 weeks ago, and my wife today says no charges will be filed.  She brought it up just after it happened, several weeks later she said he is back on the job, and I said WHAAT!!  So I go read about four or five articles all say the same vague thing.  Then there was that one article with a witness statement.  The man was on his knees, officer knew he was legally armed, was in the process of disarming him, he gets shot in the face. Nothing to see here, Killer is back on the job, case closed.  So now in this day and age, Rural BIBLE BELT Indiana is no longer immune.  Maybe things will be stranger next week, who knows.  Get your bullets and beans in order, maybe find out where your like-minded people are, maybe even join or find a local militia.  Strange days ARE ahead.  Keep your Steel sharp and your powder dry, and GO WITH GOD
