My Daily Whine. Rant?

 Recession. There is a good definition of it somewhere on the net.

My definition of it is: The Economy Sucks. Bigtime. And right now The Economy Sucks. Bigtime.

Right now prices are a lot higher than my fixed income. My wife and I are doing okay, don't get me wrong. But damn. Yesterday at what is lovingly called a Bargain Market Grocery Outlet we payed $14.99 for 8 bars of dove soap. And that is supposed to be a good price?

I don't think so Tim.

I think we could have gotten a better price, maybe, somewhere else. But that would mean a minimum 10 mile drive and I can't see doing that  just to get soap, not at current gas prices.  

Gasoline locally is at $5.37 to $5.69 per gallon. The idiots in the executive branch all think this is a good thing. Cause this will slow down ACTIVITY by the corporations  which will help to advance the cause of transitioning to green energy. Or so says that bitch jennifer granholm.

I wasn't able to find the clip of bitch granholm saying less activity is good for america so here is one she is trying to explain high gas prices: 

I can't find it now but a couple days ago I was reading somewhere that a guy received notice from his electric supplier. They were raising his rates by 28%. Holy crap who do these people think can withstand that kind of increase?

My wife and I drive a 1999 ford exploder as our primary car. And I gotta say that it has been one hell of a good car. But it is old and the seat leather is coming apart, and the timing chains are rattling and it is time for a new(er) vehicle.

But crap I am not gonna pay 50 grand for a new vehicle that won't last 5 years. And have you seen the prices for used vehicles? Crap crap and double crap. Okay, whine over.

 

Ah Hell! Nothing to see here! Move Along!

 CAUGHT: Michigan News Channel Posts Results to Republican Primary Election — That’s Not Until Next Week!!

What should happen here? Should somebody be arrested? Thrown in jail?

Nah, ain't gonna happen. 

November election has apparently already been determined by our betters. 

If you live in any state except california, start stocking up even more on ammo than you already have been.

Looks like we gonna need it.

Yosemite's Oak Fire explodes in size; Governor Newsom declares emergency

This fire is about 60 miles north of me. This morning at 9am my wife and I smelled smoke outside. Smelled like someone had just dumped water on a fire.

At 1:24 pm I don't smell anything outside. Last I heard this fire was about 12000 acres. 

I don't know who gov newsom and the media will blame this fire on. I am glad we don't live in the mountains. 

Down here where I live the only fire worry we have is the several fields of almond trees they have pushed down and let dry while they make room for the new houses that will be going in. Assholes.

Common Ground?

Recession

 Biden Treasury Secretary Yellen Warns of Second Quarter Decline Indicating Recession

We are already in recession. I mean record high gas prices, record high food prices, shortages of fuel, shortages of food.

When joe and the hoe took(and I mean that in an insulting way) office they had a BOOMING economy.

Low gas prices, low unemployment, plenty of food, plenty of fuel, most of the world was maybe not in respect of us but they didn't fuck with us either.

Here it is 1 year and 8 months later. These assholes are employing their hate america first plan and they are flat going to town on it.

They are destroying EVERYTHING that used to be what america stood for. 

Cocksuckers.

Executive Orders

 The American Presidency Project

The U.S. Constitution does not directly define or give the president authority to issue presidential actions, which include executive orders, presidential memoranda and proclamations.

What are your thoughts on executive orders?

I am of two minds about this. On the one hand I can see where it would be beneficial to me if the current president was of the same mindset as I am and used executive orders to make decisions I like.

On the other hand we have the democrats trying to force their green new deal on us.

So, I think I will err on the side of america and say it is time to stop executive orders.

Here We Go: WHO Declares Monkeypox Outbreak a Global Health Emergency 

Monkeypox has a 99.97% survival rate, per WHO.

WHO declared monkeypox a global public health emergency anyway.

WHO admits the virus is being passed among gay men w multiple sex partners… but also everyone is at risk? Lol no.

They’re trying to manipulate you. Don’t fall for it

This looks like one part of the foundation has been laid for the cheating of the election in november.

I guess they think lockdowns worked well enough last time to make everyone fall for mail in ballots, they should work well now.

In some states masks are being reinstated. For the disease that has an almost 100% survival rate. Lockdowns may be coming soon.

Oh look, the usps is delivering mail in ballots to the democratic voters.

Climate Emergency My Ass

 Here it Comes, Joe Biden Set to Declare “National Climate Emergency” as Soon as Tomorrow

Executive orders, aren't they great?

When this putrid asshole declares this national climate emergency, I am not at all certain what is going to happen to the economy.

But I think maybe the economy will go even further south than it already is. Right now we are about mexico city south, but this could take us down to venezuela south.

The electric grid is already stretched thin, what's gonna happen when he shuts down more coal, gas, and yes nuclear power plants? With nothing but imaginary wind and solar to replace those?

These people are fucking ID10T's of the highest order.

Holy smoke, did you hear about this one?

Watch the video. That house was what you would call fully involved. Wow. This guy gotta have some big brass ones he's draggin around.

Online Book

 Repacious Creditor

I have finished reading an online novel? book? story that I thought I would share with you.

It is called Repacious Creditor. I believe the correct spelling of that would be Rapacious.

Anyway, I think this is something you might be interested in reading. It is about politics, finances, prepping, virus, and civil war. All in our current timeframe.

The book could do with a good editor to firm up the plots, timelines, and maybe grammar and spelling. It is not an award winner.

But, if hollyweird grabbed hold of it they could make a good miniseries out of it, in the style of Lonesome Dove maybe.

If you don't like it, can't say we didn't try.

Everybody keeps predicting food shortages.

 Senator Warns: Fuel Prices Mean Farmers Can’t Harvest Crops — Analysts Say “Food Shortages” Are Coming

There is a video in the article. This guy sounds like he knows what's what.

I think most of the people who read this site are probably well versed in everthing the video and the article relate. Kind of preaching to the choir. Maybe forward the article to a reluctant relative.

About all we can do at this point is hunker down and keep preparing to weather any situation that comes up.

 

Not as Hot

 Yesterday was predicted to  be 106°F. But the skies were crazy all day long. It's like everything was hazy and not nearly as much heat was coming down. 

It only got to 100°F.

Praise the lord for this favor!!!

Wow it is hot!

 I just talked to my brother in Ralls, Texas at noon his time and his weather app on his phone said it was 96°F. Ralls is in northern Texas east of Lubbock about 20 or so miles.

Yesterday here in Madera Calif. at my house my phone says it got to 108°F. At 10:30 last night here it was 90°F.

Yesterday afternoon I don't think the airconditioner in my house shut off running one single time.

Good morning

 

 

Gas pricing is strange.

 What the heck is going on with gas prices?

I recently paid about $5.80 per gallon, which about 2 weeks before I paid about $6.09 per gallon and 2 weeks before that I paid about $6.49 per gallon.

Today I drove down hiway 145 into madera, and there is an EZ Trip gas station advertising gas at $4.75 per gallon. WTF?? This station had a grand opening 1 week ago, so that could be why that is. Don't know.

1/2 mile down the road is a chevron station advertising gas at $5.49 per gallon. WTF? That is a $0.75 cent per gallon difference. !WTF!!

Went to the valero about a mile away from me, both the valero and sinclair are at $5.39 per gallon.

But at least we don't got no mean tweeters out there.
