- International Migrants Day 2019
-
The United Nations wants international open borders so that any manner of migration is available to all the international terrorist organizations and burdens to society who want to suck any and all countries dry.
On December 18, 1990 their general assemby adopted a International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families toward this end.
This is primarily to achieve a more equalized distrubution of individuals for them to assume control of under the auspices of their Agenda 21/2030 so called "sustainability" agenda which in fact is an attempt to control all the countries people, resources, and lands.
Now then, not being one to support any manner of subterfuge from the democrats similar agendas through the UN who should be routed from the country by any means necessary I'm all for termination of both groups with extreme prejudice as the enemies of the state they are.

- Pan American Aviation Day 2019
-
First flights are pretty nerve wracking. I recall when I took my first from Columbia Metropolitan Airport to Orlando Florida for Navy boot camp. The thrill of acceleration and the angle of ascent were pretty exhilarating for my young podunk self.
I remember similar feelings during the landing. Over the years I became jaded to flying and it was even commonplace in my 40s. Haven't flown in quite a few years since then.
Today is another Pan American Aviation Day. The US Federal observance commemorates the first successful flight of "a mechanically propelled heavier-than-air craft, accomplished on December 17, 1903, by the Wright brothers near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina".

- A Lack of Human Decency in the Democratic Party
-
It is now patently obvious that the democratic party of the United States is without any modicum of morality, substance, or adherence to ethics or the law.
In the absence of all crimes defined as "impeachable" how can impeachment proceedings go forth as a valid legislative procedural methodology.
Everything that the democrats accuse the president of doing are actually the crimes committed repeatedly by democrats trying to affix their wrongdoing to an innocent president.
At what time is it enough to call for "human decency at long last".
Where is our Joseph N Welch calling down these dastardly democrats as he so eloquently cast asunder the evil Joseph McCarthy.
The democrats are the ones guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors ... not The President of the United States.

- International Tea Day 2019
-
My most favorite girl is a tea drinker. She won't drink coffee and has some other specific dietary requirements but each morning I see her sitting at her desk sipping her cup of tea.
She is partial to organic green tea, but is a proponent of the various black teas and breakfast blends as well.
I have been a tea drinker myself. I find myself on a coffee penchant for the past years and perhaps a change is in order.
Today is International Tea Day. It is observed each December 15.
It is held under the auspices of the major tea producing countries and it is a vehicle for promoting the impact of international tea trade on the supply chain growers and workers as well as the citizen consumers in the name of fair trade. Naturally, the UN has stuck their nose into the business via their Food and Agriculture Organization.
I suppose when they attempt the date retarded Agenda 2030 global crack down they will need to swill down tea in mass quantities to get that taste of innocent blood out of their lying thieving and cheating globalist mouths.

- Monkey Day 2019
-
When I was a kid we traveled from Hanahan, SC to Key West FL when my father changed duty stations to the USS Bushnell where he served as Chief Master at Arms.
Along the way there was a smattering of tourist traps and we stopped at a few of them to see what was there.
Among the reptiles and the birds there were various displays of baby monkeys for sale as pets.
I always thought they would make a great pet ... but inasmuch as many of my ideas during that time never panned out as being all that good, in retrospect I figure they too would have been a nightmare of overhead and behavioral problems.
Another Monkey Day is upon us. It's an unofficial international holiday celebrating "monkeys and all things simian".
I read about pet monkeys and chimps and based on those various descriptions I am glad I never went there.
Something about the potential of my best friend getting her face torn off by a pet simply doesn't thrill me none.

- Steve Buscemi
-
One of those character actors who pop up in so many of those forays into film is Steve Buscemi.
He first caught my eye in some of the Tarrantino gems I've watched as well as various other action adventure type attractions which frequent my palate and all-in-all he really has added value to my theatrical experience from a standpoint of plot and comic relief.
It seems that he has played a whole lot more than just those things I've watched. Reading his filmography was an eye opener to someone who "thought" they were familiar with his career.
He was originally from Brooklyn and that seems to come through in many of his portrayals.
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I never knew he was a director until recently. For that matter, there is a whole lot he's about of which I was totally unaware.
He started his career as a New York City Firefighter and his affinity for that work has caused him to keep in touch with those compadres over the year.
I look forward to seeing more of his acting as a matter of personal interest and IMHO he is truly a great multi faceted addition to scripting and acting.
Today is his birthday.

- Global Warming is a hoax
-
On this day in 2015 the Paris Agreement relating to United Nations Agenda 21 farce Framework Convention on Climate Change was adopted.
President Trump seeing through the global control called "sustainability" announced that we in the United States withdraw from the Paris Agreement on the hoax called climate change in the Rose Garden on June 1, 2017.
While we have many proponents of the leftist notion that the UN should take us all over and control are people, income, and land use a substantial number seeing past their subterfuge remain and resist the UN and their Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 as the surreptitious take over of the planet they are in actuality. Those scientifically illiterate and educationally misled children like Greta Thunberg need to keep their whiny false flag mouths closed as should Time magazine and the rest of the libtard puppets of globalism and George Soros.

- Memories of Emily Dickinson
-
I have many early memories of Emily Dickinson. It would appear that several of those teachers from my elementary and junior high school years were fans of her art and I read many of her works of poetry.
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson
December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886
Most notable of these were Mrs Martha Robinson at Horace O'Bryant Junior High School in Key West, Florida during the late 1960s. We read from Dickinson in the English classes she taught in both the seventh and eighth grades.
Mrs Robinson was more tolerant of me than many of the others with the exception of Mr Jack Estol Swinger and Mr C Theodore Sands who were my buddies from the beginning through the bitter end.
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was an American poet. She was born in Massachusetts and I came to understand several people from that state intimately and her prominence in that area of the country lead her down the path of education to include Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke Female Seminary.
Like me, she was pretty much the consummate loner. Like me she was also considered to be eccentric. Throughout these characteristics which excluded guests by and large she was a prolific poet who wrote around 1,800 poems ... though less than a dozen or so of these were published during her lifetime.
So those undiscovered talents remained so during her lifetime and that intellect and wordsmith she commanded was unappreciated by her contemporaries.
Now, things are different. Emily Dickinson had her way with the pen, rhyme scheme, and meter. Having written a fair amount of poetry over the years I can say that her efforts are well worth reading and I have been known to read favorite pieces thoughout my lifetime thus far.

- The Irony of International Anti-Corruption Day
-
Today is International Anti-Corruption Day. It has been happening since — get THIS — passage of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption on Halloween of 2003 allegedly to raise public awareness for anti-corruption.
The absolute nerve of this is that the United Nations is the single MOST CORRUPT entity on the planet with their farce Sustainable Development Agenda 21 which was originally designed as the New World Order disguised as "sustainability" to usurp the governments of the world and place the populations and lands under control of some criminal organization under UN control.
It's now Agenda 2030 because the United Nations hasn't been able to pull it off as there are too many on the planet who aren't the stupid dolts they envision as populating the entire world.
Rest assured, Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 are the same attempt to rule the world by the globalist mob called the United Nations.
Too many people fail to understand this plan to control the planet from a 'globalist' perspective and the UN fails to realize how many of us will bear arms against them.
Stop Agenda 2030. Learn about it. Discover the surreptitious surrender of the planet to those criminal elements the UN controls. Get out of the UN and destroy their attempts at domination by any means necessary.
Agenda 2030 is designed to box you up into concentration camps and take your earnings and punish any failure to comply with the wishes of the criminals implementing it upon the Earth up to and including your death if it suits their annointed few.

- Remembering Slim Pickens
-
One of those ubiquitous character actors of my early existence was Slim Pickens. Louis Burton Lindley Jr began in rodeo and became a staple of the various westerns which were characteristic of that era. Two of those roles I remember most fondly were characters in Blazing Saddles and Dr Strangelove.
Slim Pickens
June 29, 1919 – December 8, 1983
Louis Burton Lindley Jr aka Slim Pickens, was an American rodeo performer turned film and television actor. During much of his career, he played mainly cowboy roles and is perhaps best remembered today for his comic roles in Dr Strangelove and Blazing Saddles.
He passed on this day in 1983 of complications from surgical intervention for a brain tumor. I can still hear his very characteristic voice on occasion and when I encounter him in a old western I am thrust back in time to my childhood to those old days when I had no cares in the world.
I remember the first time I saw Dr Strangelove and his riding the nuclear weapon to the ground after release from the bomb bay. It inspired various thoughts which have ultimately contributed to my "outside of the box" attitudes regarding life and technology.

- Pearl Harbor Day 2019
-
Today is Pearl Harbor Day aka National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. It is the annual observance in memory of those 2,403 killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on this day in 1941. It was declared a national observance in 1994 and is one of those occasions where we fly the National Flag at half staff til sunset in memory of our honored dead.
It was on this day in 2001 that my father was laid to rest at Clinton United Methodist Church in Salley, South Carolina and as such the day has had an increasingly sad meaning to me since that time.

- Krampusnacht 2019
-
There was a late addition to my Christmas holiday observance ... Krampus. He is a figure from central European folklore who punishes children who have misbehaved while Saint Nicholas rewards those who were well behaved over the previous year.
He manifests as a horned goat looking demon and the several movies I enjoyed regarding his character were quite shocking to behold.
Krampusnacht
While the Feast of St Nicholas is celebrated on December 6 Krampus Night or Krampusnacht goes down on the previous night of December 5.
The wicked hairy devil appears on the streets — and is sometimes in the company of St Nick and often times alone. Krampus visits homes and businesses. Krampus handles all of the bad children bestowing coal and the Ruten bundles (birch branches) with which he sometimes swats the children as well.
Krampuslauf
It is customary to offer a Krampus schnapps, a strong distilled fruit brandy. I suppose a nice stiff alcoholic beverage gets him all warmed up and ready to bestow the evenings punishment.
Krampuskarten
Images of Krampus may be found on many different postcards and candy containers.
I wish you a happy Krampusnacht and I hope you are in the group of good children whom he will bypass altogether.

- My Daddy
-
My Daddy passed away on December 4, 2001.
He was not a wimpy sort of man who accepted the consequences of his lifestyle diseases with dignity up to that moment we realized he had reached the point beyond which he did not wish to go.
Though immensely painful we were forced to remove him from life support because that was what he wanted and he was given a morphine sulfate protocol to prevent oxygen starvation and he passed this earthly existence some 28 hours later.
You could see his life leave slowly over time imparting a softness to his features and those moments gave me my only opportunity to hold his hand, tell him what a good daddy he was, and how much I loved him.
He was brought home to lay in repose and was interred in the place he chose in accordance with his wishes.
Though I don't experience it 24-7 anymore, I still have episodes of profound grief to this day.
You should be good to your parents because unless you're a total clod you never know just how badly conscience may fill you with regret if you're not.
