Welcome to Amerika

The New Democratic Socialist State

I don’t know whether to cry or laugh! Please look at the barbed wire topped, non-scalable fence and wall just put up around the inauguration site!! Put up by the very bozos who have been trouncing Trump for putting up a fence at the Southern border!

Why have they put up a fence in DC? For the very same reasons for putting up a border fence! That is to maintain safety and order, and to protect the people inside. I want to know what’s so much more precious about the safety of the people inside the DC fence than the safety of us everyday Americans inside the border fence.

The chicken hearted DC bozos think they are so danged special but they are no more special than my grandchildren. TODAY they are preparing executive orders to throw open our borders to millions of illegal aliens who will threaten the safety of OUR health, OUR economy and OUR lives.

Tomorrow, watch those two faced, whiney witches prance and parade behind THEIR wall of safety while, at the very same time, they throw the rest of us to the whims and wolves of illegal aliens!

Are you happy now?

These are strange times we are witnessing now.

For better or worse, probably worse, we citizens have become evermore reliant on “social” media to stay connected to friends and family, to stay informed of current events and present our own opinions and thoughts.

Now it appears that these platforms, that have been a standard part of our daily communication have become the social and political gatekeepers of what we should be allowed to see, digest and believe.

I never thought I would live to see the day when political discussion would be banned. Even our President has had is speech censored.

I’m afraid this great nation is on a downward spiral and only decisive and possibly extreme actions can reverse this trend away from our constitutional republic.

I honestly hope that is not where we are headed.

I pray that the processes that our founding fathers put in place will prevail and the men and women we have elected to represent us will stand up to the tyranny of the left and their accomplices in big tech and the media.

As I write this I am sure there are those that applaud the new censorship. After all, critical thought and diversity of views is fine, as long as it conforms to the liberal agenda.

I’m beginning to think the current dogma of liberalism is a disease. A cancer that has metastasized from at one point a positive movement for fairness and equality to a force for thought control and the destruction of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

It saddens me to write this but I do believe there is hope. I still think we can have a nation where differing views can work together to make this great experiment work again. It may take a revolution. It may take new leadership, again form outside the D.C. bubble.

It will be an interesting few months and years to come to be sure.

2020: The Year Cancel Culture Took Over

Free speech warriors had reason for hope at the end of 2019. Comic superstars like Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr and Sebastian Maniscalco delivered upper cuts to the scourge known as Cancel Culture and…

Finally

First step

It was a tough year. If 2020 wasn’t tough enough with the pandemic and the politics, there was the weather.

Delta

Almost too many storms to count. Through October we had dodged the bullet. Then came Delta. The storm actually made land fall in Louisana but they were spared the worst of the winds. For the first time anyone could remember, the highest winds were on the west side of the storm, specifically at our house 😉

It’s only now, this week ( January 9th )that repairs have begun. Fences, three roofs, brick work and siding. Finally! It’s a process we know all to well. I mean it’s only been two years that we’ve been in our home since Harvey flooded us out!

So now there is a light at the end of the tunnel, at least as far as our home is concerned. As for the rest, politics, pandemic and the rest…..we’ll see. HCBC. JoDon

“Social” Media

I’ve been thinking about writing this post for quite some time now.

Like most of you, I have a presence on FaceBook, Twitter and Instagram. It’s easy and convenient. Having platforms that everyone can access, can see and respond to your posts is cool and oddly empowering.

And that seems to be the problem. Social Media companies fool us into thinking we are in control. We are not. The social media oligarchs are pulling the/our strings.

Additionally, censorship by the tech giants is out of hand in my opinion. Previously, pornography, threats of violence etc. did not meet their community standards. Now it seems political thought the “ fact checkers” disagree with measures up to the same standard as death threats and porn!

I’ve had enough. I’m done with Twitter. I’m done with Facebook as well but because of certain obligations from work, I’m not able to completely toss it away. I WILL NOT be posting directly to FB any longer. I may share to their platform post from this page and Parler but from this point forward my “social presence “ will be on this page, Parler and possibly MeWe.

Here are the links to follow me (if you like). This page : https://ridersblock.wordpress.com/. Parler: @DavidHendersonTexas. https://parler.com/auth/access MeWe: https://mewe.com David Henderson

It’s a shame our country has taken the steps we’ve seen the past months but I’m confident that good and right will eventually prevail. HFBC joeDon
