"The donkey told the tiger: “The grass is blue.” The tiger replied: “No, the grass is green” The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, and to do so they approached the lion. "Before reaching the clearing in the forest where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn't it true that the grass is blue?" The lion replied: "True, the grass is blue." "The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him." The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence." The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating: ′′The grass is blue." "The tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked the lion: ′′Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?" The lion replied: ′′In fact, the grass is green." The tiger asked: ′′So why do you punish me?" "The lion replied: “That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that to come and bother me with that question. The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand, and others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t. "When ignorance screams, intelligence shuts up. Your peace and tranquility are worth more.” ~ Unknown Author
"If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty, you have no brain." ~ Winston ChurchillHow much time and money has gone into trying to educate Americans about the Democratic Party and its proclivity toward Marxism, socialism, and communism? Winston Churchill identified why young people lean toward the Democrat Party idealism. Liberal ideas are like a narcotic, and those with no life experience have no perspective about what looks like a good idea on paper as opposed to making that idea function in the real world. By age forty, there are those whose life experience has brought them around to conservative view points, those who have remained in the theoretical world of academia, those who discovered they could get rich in Democrat politics, those who never took responsibility for evaluating political views and simply vote the way their parents voted, and finally, those who adopted the Marxist philosophy and learned to hate America, American patriots, and everything America stands for. The last group is the American flag burners, the criminally violent demonstrators. Have you ever seen a conservative group burn the American flag? Have you ever seen conservative groups burning down city neighborhoods? Have you ever seen conservative groups looting? Have you ever seen conservatives destroying monuments? Of course not.

"Truth is a tyrant—the only tyrant to whom we can give our allegiance. The service of truth is a matter of heroism." ~ John F. KennedyAnd don’t even go near the January 6, 2021 debacle at the Capitol. Evidence is coming out that Democrat supported organizations such as BLM, ANTIFA, and even covert federal officials instigated that event. The truth will always come out. The true believers of false doctrine will not waiver until some unexpected event causes the light to come on for them individually. The fear mongering lying perpetrators know the truth but don’t care because this is a cash cow for them, and they will keep on keeping on as long as the cash flows. Wise people will abandon the effort to convince the believers and just focus on minimizing the policy damage by the preps. You can lead horses to water, but you can’t make them drink. So too, can you lead true believers to the truth and facts, but you can’t make them accept reality.

After a 55 year career as a professional pilot in the military, in law enforcement, in the private sector, and in federal civil service, I am now retired.
In many of these positions I repeatedly took an oath to defend the United States Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
