BWW Heads-Up and some pearls from surfing the 'Net.

Some brilliant scribbling found surfing the cyber-surf...

A heads-up for Don “The Barn” Williams re-joining us tomorrow (10/25) for a chat about the pending E-Day and other sorrows…

Next week, highly recommended purveyor of writing excellence, T. L. Davis of T.L. Davis Posts and Podcasts and I will be kickin’ back here next week (10/29), one week away from the Coming Distractions Nov. 5.

Hope you find the following thoughts as compelling as I did.

The government forces me to pay for things I will never use, public education, the coast guard, the National Guard, aid to Ukraine and Israel and favored nations around the globe. I'm forced to fund the discovery of the mating habits of salamanders and the effects of climate change on them. I'm forced to pay to have a police force that arrests people for selling raw milk to people that want to buy it.

The litany of obligations the government has foisted upon me to fund could fill books.

If I am critical of any of the above, or of any of its misdeeds I'm spreading disinformation, a crime coming soon to your area. In the meantime the government desires to shut down sources of, "disinformation". They need total control of everything to maintain their power and control of 300 million people fed up with their shit.

Elon Musk does none of those things to me or anyone.

One of the above is an enemy of humanity.

There is a kind of sadness that comes from knowing too much, from seeing the world as it truly is. It is the sadness of understanding that life is not a grand adventure, but a series of small, insignificant moments, that love is not a fairy tale, but a fragile, fleeting emotion, that happiness is not a permanent state, but a rare, fleeting glimpse of something we can never hold onto. And in that understanding, there is a profound loneliness, a sense of being cut off from the world, from other people, from oneself. ~Virginia Woolf

I doubt we would have half these problems if the Feds weren't in control of everything. If States had the bulk of power, as they were supposed to, there would at least be the option to move from state to state to be around like minded people. You could find a state that has rules you like that are unaffected by neighboring states. Who would care if California has trans people in their sports as long as they aren't forcing them on Texas? Same for border policy, guns and education, etc. etc. You could get rid of 90% of the wedge issues overnight if they really wanted to. As it stands the feds control so much that whoever controls the feds, also controls the people of each state. This is primarily where the animosity comes from. And if the people can't get along within the state, let them break authority down even further into counties, so you don't have the cities running everyone who lives in the country, etc. etc. We are basically at each other's throats because we all have too damn much power over each other. I would think that dialing back government at all levels, so that we don't kill each other, would be better than a total break down into civil war, but I guess some people would rather fight than give up the power they have over others.

Tim Walz with his $2,500 shotgun, which he clearly didn't know how to load, is what the people of Northern Wisconsin call a FIB or at least that's how he came across to me.

This is similar to calling someone around here a Flatlander or a Troll. A FIB or Flatlander or Troll is someone up from Downstate who is generally speaking a Pain the Ass.

As hunters, they are often the kind who probably shouldn't have a gun in their hand or be left unsupervised in the woods. They have all the gear and it's usually nice and new, like their trucks, but they basically need a guide or they need to hunt a canned hunt like this one.

At best they will stumble around the woods annoying everyone else, at worst they end up getting themselves killed or someone else. As boaters they aren't any better, often a danger to themselves and others around them, but we tolerate them because they spend money. Don't get me wrong either, some of the hunters from Downstate are damn good, but for every one that's a good hunter, there are ten that should probably just stay in camp, drinking beer and playing card.

By the way, FIB stands for Fucking Illinois Bastard and if you are drinking in the one of thousands of bars in Northern Wisconsin, it's the last thing you want to be thought of as. I always felt quite comfortable in the small bars that dot the landscape Northern Wisconsin, I'm not sure Tim would, who knows, maybe. But I think it's more likely they would single him out as a FIB at least based on what I saw in the video.

If this add singled Tim Walz out as a FIB, it could cost Harris Wisconsin...

While accounts of Helene’s devastation of Appalachia and North Carolina have all but vanished, the real story – FEMA’s “response” –has been forcefully suppressed in the MSM and on social platforms, similar to the COVID and vax stories that contradicted the Official Narrative. Here is an informative piece that reveals the uncomplimentary FEMA history and tyrannical function.

Thanks for reading this far!
