Why does the USPS has to cease to exist.

I won’t bore you with all the stories of ballot “deliveries” as you probably know them or can find about faster. Those are just the last straw on my endless frustration with postal bureaucratic stupidity.

I got a mailbox at a somewhat near mail facility in order to get mail and packages without actually having to share my real address. The process was mostly done online and the problem started at the office when I was told that nobody but me could get mail in that box. Since I am married and it would be a tragical mistake not to do so, I explained that I needed to add my wife to the box in case she wanted to use it. I was demanded proof that she lived with me, basically asking that she would come personally to show her ID. I retorted that me, as the renter of the box, was willing to grant permission to my wife and I was the one providing the name, so there was little chance of “fraud.” And to assuage his fears, I produced our car insurance card which has both our names at the same address.  The Postal Minion was unconvinced, but I was more ornery so the supervisor was called and my request was granted. Even though I was a bit pissed about the ordeal, I left feeling good about the fact that our mailbox would only receive mail for me or the missus.

Guess what? We are getting mail for everybody else that uses out box number. I was dutiful and informed them that I was getting mail not mine in the box and even went to the expense of getting a RETURN TO SENDER stamp  and decorate the crap out of the mail just to have it put back in my box again.

I actually logged a formal complain with the USPS who got me a formal interview with the facility supervisor to address the issue. He was polite and promised he would take care of it. And of course, I am still getting the effing envelopes.

The last one was a simple light envelope with an American flag on it.   I caught a good discount and ordered it almost a month ago.

And I waited…and waited and checked the tracking and apparently a black postal hole was created in NJ:

It took the envelope 2 weeks to go from the Garden State to the Gunshine State. And then finally delivered 2 days later.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Pony Express on frigging horseback did not take this long. In fact, it could have made the trip back and forth NY to SF three times in the same amount of time in 1861 that it took my flag to make it one way in the 21st Century and with modern vehicles and flying machines.

160 years later, the USPS can’t beat delivery on horseback. So, other than fucking around with mail-in ballots, why are they needed for?

Georgia delenda est

And with that the US Senate. As of posting, only one race has been decided and Warnock, the winner is somebody whom I predict a lot of crap in his background will be suddenly be found besides the ones already out, even after the media did its best not to vet…again. The other race? They are tied which means Purdue will lose when another suitcase of votes for Ossoff is suddenly found.

Funny thing? last night before 9 pm, both Republicans were ahead. Seeing the hour, I said to myself it was about time for the numbers to flip…and they did!

Let’s get ready, it is going to get stupid in industrial size.

The trouble with Republicans

I’ve been following the news the last few days surrounding the certification of the electoral college vote and Georgia Senate election, and I’ve heard from a number of sources a lot of complaining about Republicans.

Why so many elected Republicans are rolling over in the face of such Banana Republic level election fuckery.

Why Republican voters don’t stand up the way Democrat voters do and march in the streets.

The latter point is something Miguel talks about when it comes to the fight for gun rights.

I’ve thought about this and come to my own conclusions.

First: Why Republicans don’t take to the streets the way Democrats do.

Leftists LOVE politics.  It is their secular religion.  The personal is political was a slogan born on the Left.

When Leftists fantasize about themselves in politics, every single one imagines themselves up on a balcony, giving a speech to an adoring throng, coming up with final solutions that they enact by edict. If they are not the person on the balcony, they are that person’s right hand.  They never picture themselves as one of the proles but as one of the important members of the party.

They love the thrill of going out into the streets to protest, intimidate, and force others to do their bidding.  They love the dirt-fight of politics.  It is them throwing their weight around, getting to be the boot stamping in the human face, the thrill of kicking an enemy who is down.

Republicans are just the opposite.  We might discuss political philosophy or listen to talk radio, but we hate the dirt-fight of politics.  When we fantasize, we’re standing beside a cabin in the woods, or a farmhouse, or the homestead, or a houseboat, or anywhere way the fuck away from any authority, either on the giving or the receiving end.

Disliking government means that we don’t like to participate in government.

That is why when we are pushed to the point of having to protest, it’s one day, and when 5:00 rolls around, we go home.

When our fantasies turn to politics, they are always about putting the crosshairs on the boot stamping on a human face.  Then packing up and  going home, not taking his spot.

The Left will always beat us on making a show of force in the streets because they are living out their fantasy.  We’d rather be going to the dentist or having an ingorwn tonail removed.

This brings me to my my second point: Republicans are rolling over in the face of Banana Republic level election fuckery.

Principled Republican politicians are as rare as hen’s teeth.  Being a principled Republican politician is almost an oxymoron for the exact reason I stated above.  A Republican who dislikes goverment isn’t going to want to make a career out of governemnt.  It takes a very strong character to hold fast to those principles and hold your nose and kick around in that sewer every day.

Lincoln wasn’t a career poitican.  Neither was Reagan, he started out as an actor and got into politics by being president of the SAG.

The career Republicans might have started out as principled Republicans, but they stay there for the grift.  This is why they won’t fight for Trump against the election fuckery.  The swamp protects the swamp and they are not going to turn against the swamp to fight for a swamp drainer.

Fidning someone who dislikes big goverenmnt, wants to drain tht swamp, is willing to forgo becoming rich though swam grift, and likes the dirt-fight is rare indeed.  His name was Donald Trump and the swamp put aside their infighting to unite to take him out.

That why being a principled Republican always feels like such a losing proposition.  Because it is.

Engaging in politics to convince the swamp to drain itself and give up power is the defintion of sisyphean.  We hate every minute of it and it’s mostly futile anyway.

Report on the Officer Involved Shooting of Jacob Blake

I am still trying to digest the idea that it seems Antifa/BLM cannot but elevate to hero status scum of the earth. But then again they learned from the media that a vetting process and exposure of findings is not the best way to do things.
