Is the election over?

Is the election over? 

    I was so looking forward to the election being over but to my surprise when I turned on the television it seemed as if the election campaigns were still going on. In the past couple weeks, I could not help but notice that the media was still going on about how the Democrats lost and how terrible the new president and his administration was. Now not really being in favor of one or the other it seems to raise certain questions that did not make sense.

• The news media is supposed to be impartial and unbiased but how can you be reporting the real news if you openly support or oppose a candidate?
• Is not the news media supposed to inform the public factually about events that take place and report those events as truthfully as possible without bias?
• Can a news media be trusted if it is being openly biased about one candidate or another and if they are bias about their politics what other topics are they being bias about? Can we trust what they have to say when it comes to health, global warming, local news, world news etc.?
• Is Pres. elect Trump right when he says we should not trust the media? 
• If there is division within the country is it because of the politics or is it because of the media?
• Who has more pool with the people of America, the media or the politicians?
• Is the slogan "drain the swamp" indicative of our times and the real under line problem with America and the world?

Two Fallon, Nevada McDonald's were nearly forced to shut down after a new owner had to terminate 15 to 20 employees.

Why is citizenship so important?

    Recently I was made aware that two local McDonald's were sold and purchased by a gentlemen out of Reno Nevada who already owned several McDonald's. Upon completion of the transaction the two McDonald's located in Fallon Nevada were nearly shut down when the new owner was forced to immediately let go 15 to 20 employees. The reason for the terminations was quite simple, they could not provide proof of citizenship or a green card.

    So the questions are as as follows.

1. Why hasn't anything been in the local news? Did I just simply miss it or was it hidden someplace in the back page?
2. How could two McDonald's employ that many illegals without anyone finding out?
3. What country these people were from does not matter and for all I know they came from Canada, but how much of an impact would that many employees have on our small local economy and is this the only business getting away with such practices?
4. If they provided Social Security numbers to the previous owner, how many legal citizens got dinged on their tax return because of these illegals?
5. These 15 to 20 people that are illegally in the country what happens to them? Did they get arrested or deported or did they just simply go find a new job?
6. How many of them went on to collect unemployment or other social services or is that even possible?
7. What was the incentive to the previous owner to hire that many illegals? Did he pay them less or did he simply turn a blind eye knowing that these employees would be less likely to file any kind of complaints against him for any employment violation?
8. How can a law enforcement officer, enforce the law if he is forbidden to ask for proof of citizenship?
9. What is the point in having a law if it is not going to be enforced?
10. If the government is refusing to enforce a law, what is the benefit to the government?

    You really can't point fingers at the illegals without pointing another finger at the employer. There has to be an incentive to both parties. 

    In interviewing several people I was told there would be little to no consequence. The employer would deny having known that his employees were illegally in the country and the illegals will simply disappear once again into the background of our society. With no penalties being enforced there was nothing to discourage either party from breaking the law.

    It should be noted that in reporting this story, I was not looking for facts or details. This is not the first time such things have occurred in this country.The purpose of reporting the story was to simply raise questions that our society seems to be avoiding or complacent about. In order for a society to function properly there has to be law and order. Any law that is not enforced calls into question all the laws. After all the foundation of any good society is it's laws and justice system, without it we have nothing but chaos and some people thinking they are the exception to the law. And if one law is not enforced, how do you or I know any other law will be enforced equally and without prejudice? 

How do you get change if you vote the way you always have?

"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always be where you've always been." Samuel Clemens

Now this is a question about change and how everybody seems to want it, but everybody still votes the same. 

    My grandfather was one such person, he always voted Democratic no matter what. Yet at the same time he would bitch and gripe about how things never seem to change. The government is still corrupt, workers are still taken advantage of, and so on. Yet I still see the same old people playing the same old game they always have. You would think that in the past 200 years we would've learned our lesson and realize that the aristocrats are the only ones who are really playing the game. The rest of us who are actually only pawns in the game need to realize that our leaders have no qualms about sacrificing someone they consider expendable. 

   Over the last 50 years of my life I have realized that change is a good thing. As a child I didn't know what to expect and was extremely fearful of it. Later in life I began to realize that change was the only thing that gave me passion to move forward. And now later in life I have come to realize that it doesn't matter what the change is, so long as it's change. 

    A great general once said "That in the heat of battle should you find yourself in a stalemate, change is the only thing that will break it and it doesn't matter what it is, so long as you get a response from your enemy. Once your enemy responds to what you have done, then you will know what you need to do." 

• So here's my questions: if you vote the way you always have, how can you expect things to change?
• Are you voting the way you do because in all honesty your just a hypocrite? 
• You want them to change the things you don't like and to leave the ones you do like, but are not willing to tell them which is which?
• If you vote for the wrong guy, how will you know until after the election?

    So in this next election try something new. Close your eyes, push a button and hope for the best. You're still going to bitch about it no matter who gets voted into office.

In today's news, tragedy strikes bunny family.

In today's news tragedy strikes bunny family.

   Bunny foo foo tragically shot dead after he was caught in the act of thumping field mice with a hammer. Seen here flipping off reporters, just minutes after killing more than 44 field mice with a hammer he bought over-the-counter. Unfortunately after he was shot dead by police it was later discovered that the hammer was to blame. The hammer manufacturer is now being sued for the tragic deaths of countless field mice. Congress is pushing to ban all hammers in an effort to curb violence.

If planting an acre of hemp could save 1000 trees, why would you outlaw it?

If planting an acre of hemp could save 1000 trees, why would you outlaw it?

Keep in mind that hemp is not the same as cannabis, same family different plant. Hemp has thousands of uses and is used to make everything from paper, food, clothing and even plastics. Has low to no THC if any, so it can't be used as a drug. Paper pulp made from hemp can be recycled 10 times more than wood pulp and can out produce cotton. Finished products can be sold here in the US, which includes hemp seeds but it can't be grown here. Hemp seed can be made into milk, flour, protein powder etc. the amount of THC is negligible. The US is so fanatical about saving the environment, but is so adamant about not letting any type of hemp be grown in the United States, why? Does that make the US government hypocritical, or does it just mean there on the take from major corporations? What US companies have been pushing to keep hemp in the same category as cannabis, when they clearly know that these are two different plants? Our first flags and our Constitution and Declaration of Independence were written on paper made not from wood pulp, but from hemp. Did our founding fathers know something we don't, or were they just less corrupt?

Madman, armed v.s. unarmed ?

The great debate about gun control has raised an obvious question. Why do gunmen choose the locations they do? Is gun-control really the issue? Why are guns the weapon of choice? So I pose the following question to you and ask that you answer the question in the survey to the right.

 Note: I do not specify that the madman is using a gun nor do I specify that the people in room (A) may have a concealed gun. In fact it could be any weapon of choice.
