Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

A Just Society  

https://victorygirlsblog.com/aocs-a-just-society-legislation-is-socialism-wrapped-in-a-glittery-bow/ 

A Just Society Creates a Place to Prosper: Put onerous regulations on landlords, set rent controls in place for all (see California’s new rent control idiocy), cap rental increases, and renters who face eviction get legal counsel.
A Just Society Is Merciful: Doesn’t matter what the crime was, any criminal released can’t be denied any federal funds.
A Just Society Uplifts Our Workers: will create a “worker-friendly” score sheet for federal contractors and give PREFERENCE to worker-friendly contractors who score high.
A Just Society Guarantees the Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of All: work conditions, unions, food, clothing, along with mental and physical health would fall under the jurisdiction of the United Nations.
A Just Society Embraces Our Immigrants: The federal government will have to give aid and assistance to ANY immigrant no matter his or her status.

   

Look again at the synopsis above. Do you see what I see? Socialism all wrapped up in a glittery bow.

 

Quote from AOC:

“These stark inequalities are being used by those in power to amplify fear and anger in our communities and further divide us. We must act boldly and swiftly to reverse the corrosive effects extreme inequality and poverty are having on our society.
A Just Society aims to ensure that we are on a path towards shared prosperity for all. A just society provides a living wage, safe working conditions, and healthcare. A just society acknowledges the value of immigrants to our communities. A just society guarantees safe, comfortable, and affordable housing. By strengthening our social and economic foundations, we are preparing ourselves to embark on the journey to save our planet by rebuilding our economy and cultivate a just society.

It is true many things need to be changed and improved. I for one want to thank her for pointing out the obvious. However, having the government step in and control every aspect of your life leads to tyranny and eventually everything gets chaotic and much worse. Prosperity, innovation, and employment comes from the private sector.

 

She seems to be showing her 29-year-old age. As such she is just like the millennials group that she belongs to. Most DO NOT UNDERSTAND what has happened to every society that has tried the communist way of government and due to the way they were educated? they simply are lemmings (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lemmings). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       While in Panama

I felt a lump on the left side of my throat three months ago and went to the Ear/Nose/Throat (ENT) doctor. After having a long tube put through my nose down to my throat and a CT scan AND two biopsies of the lump and my tongue it was determined that I have cancer. I was then sent to another hospital and another doctor. He and an associate confirmed the diagnoses and then sent their findings to a committee to decide how they were going to best treat cancer.

Now I have to see seven other doctors for various tests before they will start the radiotherapy! Part of the reason for this is because I have a bad heart. Nothing happens quickly here in Costa Rica. If the radiotherapy does not render the results needed then I will be changed to chemo. Either way, they will put a tube thru my belly into my stomach and that is how I will receive my nourishment for the duration of the treatments.  

I have a friend in North Carolina whose son had the same type of cancer. He recently completed his treatment and it was successful. But as most already know treatment has side effects. 

 

Currently other than the tumor, my problem is eating. My tongue hurts from the piece clipped out for the biopsy. In addition, the side of my mouth is sore along with my throat. Soft food, soup, and pudding are the delicacies I get to enjoy. Oh yeah, I get to drink various fruit juices to chase down the 7 pills I take each day.  

 

My mother had three different types of cancer and beat two of them. The last one got into her thyroid glands and spread throughout her body and took her life.

 

Some are devastated when they are diagnosed. Some simply give up. Others begin feeling sorry for themselves and place a burden on their family and friends. Woe is me. I am not any of these. I understand that this is simply a part of my life and I need to view it as I have viewed all of my life. Stand strong and push ahead!

 

I plan to give updates as my condition allows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

                                        

This is a follow up on the post from yesterday. http://pithyprattles.blogspot.com/2019/

 

What would your children, the ones that were allowed to protest last Friday by the schools, if you took these things away and explained that it is time to put your sacrifice where your feet and mouth is? Most electricity is generated by a source using fossil fuels. All cars are fueled by gas, again derived from fossil fuel. Factories that make new clothes and shoes and backpacks and makeup etc., use the end results of fossil fuels. 

Ask them if they have learned this from school. Have the teachers explained that their lifestyle is dependant on the very things that they are protesting about? Now, when they look at you with a blank stare tell them that they can google your statement. No wait, they can't use the computer. Can't call your friends to pick their brains because they have no cell phone.

 

Offer the only alternative. They and their peers can hold a meeting lighted by candles and do some soul searching while eating a bowl of gruel that's cooked in a pot that is warmed over the fire that is built with logs.  

 

Be prepared to receive the CPS people that will be charging you with child abuse. 

 

  GET USED TO YOUR NEW LIFE

 

 

 

                                                      Greta Thunberg

She came across the pond to give us a speech on climate change. On the 20th of this month, children were given a pass to skip school and protest on this issue.                   https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/09/kids-march-climate-action/   

Here is some background info on Greta: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greta_Thunberg

 

Should a child that has as many obvious problems be spending time skipping school where she could be learning things that will help her develop into a young adult and then go onto college and get the education that could help her get the knowledge needed to actually help in correcting this climate change dilemma.  

 

Is this a real problem? I'm not a scientist so I'm not in a position to render a properly informed opinion. But I do know that programming a child to memic the views of the parent and roust support from their peer group(s) is not a good thing.   

 

Watch this video: Sky News host Chris Kenny has described it as “disturbing” that the UN allowed “hysterical teenager” Greta Thunberg to speak at its Climate Change Summit in New York. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDXKTXuM2TY    

 

Finally, I find it interesting, amusing? that the adults that are crying about climate change fly around in private jets and do other things that they espouse is the very things that are contributing to the problem. At least Greta had the courage to sail for days from her home country to the US to avoid contributing to carbon. Now here is a lesson that the adults SHOULD memic. But I'm not holding my breath and if you want to see the next hour you should not either. 

When the dust bowl from 1930 to 1936 occurred I don't think there were people running around yelling, the sky is falling, the sky is falling!                                         

But today it's ok to use kids?

I have posted on this blog many times about the beauty and positive differences that are part of Costa Rica. The waterfalls and rain forests and beaches and culture. Now let me tell you about a dark side that is here and growing just like in the United States and many other countries. ILLEGAL DRUGS and the DEATHFUL PATH that they leave. 

   

The killings and maiming and torture is out of control. The cartels and small time dealers are more than ready to take a life or lives to protect their precious cargo. Men women and children are considered collateral damage. Not long ago there was a raid on a house here where millions of dollars worth of cocaine were seized. And offshore various drugs seized by the US and Costa Rica Coast Guard. The smugglers were in a homemade submarine!! No deaths occurred, thank God, but several were arrested. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Watching the news on a local station here each night we are seeing more and more. 

 

So even when you live in a place that some would call paradise you have to be leary and alert at all times. There are places and areas to avoid. so if you find yourself visiting just remember. Don't be lulled by the beauty and differences, Costa Rica has warts too.    

 

 

 

 

 

Bah Humbug

What! National Pepperoni Pizza Day!! As a **reluctant member of the PC police, I vehemently object to this.                                                                                       

[** They kidnapped my family and will make them walk the plank if I don't cooperate].  

How can you declare a day that makes the other pizzas feel substandard? The shame of doing such an inhuman act! By golly, all pizzas are equal and should be treated the same. This day should be changed to National Dough Day or National Great Toppings Day. This would be the Politically Correct thing to do. If this is not done by the end of the day we call on all of our fellow protest groups to join us in creating mass protests. Including but not limited to window smashing, car overturning, and any other heinous acts that they think of. Remember we protesters need to stay together and oppose everyone that does not toe the line and agree with us without question!!    

 

Don't get me started about Trump Derangement Syndrome. I could write a book about why the people that have this should be exaulted and revired. 

 

                            Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh

 

Talk about lousy reporting lets talk about the New York Times. One might say they just made a mistake. However, they seem to be doing it more lately and the obvious thing is it leans left the majority of the time. But given their history, this is as surprising as finding hamburgers at McDonald's. 

There are certain members of congress that want the honorable SC Judge Kavanaugh impeached. Their stated reason is that his nomination was pushed through and he was not properly vetted and that he misbehaved in college by sexually abusing women. After the FBI investigated the accusations and found them baseless he was confirmed 50-48. But because of suffering **Trump derangement syndrome, it has spilled over to Justice Kavanaugh.    

        **https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_derangement_syndrome

 

 

All four women that the Grey Lady reported on about his exposing himself during a party have since said that they don't remember this and that no party ever existed. So with egg on their face, again, the NYT had to apologize for false reporting:

https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/09/the-new-york-times-anti-kavanaugh-bombshell-is-actually-a-dud/

What a shambles congress, certain members, and some of the press is in. Too bad they can't get through their Trump Derangement Syndrome and do the job(s) they are supposed to do. but then you have to scratch your head and wonder if they even know what that is or how to 

                                                                                         effectively do them.   

 President Trump has said that Justice Kavanaugh should consider suing for slander.

I agree, do you?
