DID YOU SEE THAT VIDEO, WHAT A DRAG!

There has to be a ton of frustration out there, people are going postal every day…and they don’t even work for the United States Postal Service. People shooting people, gun advocates telling anybody who will listen that “We all have the right to own guns,” lovers quarrels leading to physical fights, tavern altercations that lead to death and incarceration…and now violence in the classroom.

 

Come on, what the hell is going on here, I remember times back before the turn of the 20^th century, (not personally) when men carried holstered firearms at their sides, it was common-place. I thought those days were dead, but like I always say, History is like a wheel, history repeats itself.

 

Violence is not new in 21^st century educational centers, rather grade schools, or high schools, or colleges, they all seem to be targets for life threatening altercations. There is a reason why people aren’t supposed to put their hands on another person…somebody can get injured for life, or killed. These bodies that we walk around in aren’t indestructible, in fact they are relatively fragile, broken fingers, wrists, jaws, legs and arms are just a few of the everyday injuries that people suffer.

 

There are stories in United States newspapers each and every day that report in graphic detail the injuries and deaths caused by both law enforcement as well as people in the private sector who disagree with one another and turn to violence to settle an issue.

 

To say that the United States has a problem with regards to anger management, and how police, police the general population would be a huge understatement. But in schools, we simply can’t allow for violence to be the common way that school students are dealt with.

 

The rough arrest tactics displayed by school resource officer, Deputy Ben Fields is simply the tip of the iceberg. But should the general population be concerned with this kind of violent treatment of a child? Ah, err, ah…yes, whenever you flip somebody that is obviously much smaller than the flipper is, all sorts of injuries can occur.

 

The student at the South Carolina school was acting asinine, and…was acting like a stupid kid who was not using any sort of judgment, it’s what kids do, it’s their job. But to get jerked around, and out of the students seat, and then dragged across the floor…no way.

 

Adults are supposed to exhibit restraint, they are supposed to use good judgment, they are supposed to be adults. For the muscle bound deputy Fields, that restraint went right out of the window, and he resorted to his primal behavior, I’m kind of surprised that he didn’t drag the female off into his cave and have his way with her.

 

There have been other incidents involving Officer Fields, but one was dismissed because the jury did not find excessive force was used when he and his partner maced a couple who were protesting, and were cited for excessive noise.

 

Like I already said, “these types of actions are just the tip of the iceberg,” it happens every day in every state of the union, and is at an epidemic state. People who do not comply with authority figures are wacked, batted, maced, tazed, and otherwise injured each and every day. Are all of these people guilty…here’s a guess…No way.

 

Cops are running amuck, and pose a threat to each and every one of us, both the bad as well as the good. Cops credo is simple and straight forward, control of each and every situation, even when there’s no reason for it. Old people have been tazed, wacked with a night-stick, and in some cases shot. Kids playing the age old cops and robbers, or war, take the lives in their own hands if they are using a make-believe weapon that looks like the real thing.

 

Is the citizen safer in the United States because of the aggressive attitude that cops seem to have in the 21^st century? I would have to say no, whenever a body of people are allowed to use force at their own discretion, and randomly, there will always be trouble. What has happened is that law enforcement has been given pretty much a free pass whenever the judicial system attempts to hold some of the worst offenders reliable for their actions.

 

Whenever a cop is brought up on charges of using excessive force, even when there are witnesses, video proof, or a pattern of past abuses, the judicial system gives the cop a free pass cause his job is so tough. These people don’t call what they do a job, they call it “Serving the community,” who a load of crap that is.

 

Have a Nice Day!

 

     

HILLARY CLINTON GOT BOOPED

HILLARY CLINTON GOT BOOPED

FRAZER CHRONICLE

(Fall the News That Nobody Else Will Print)

The House Committee on the Benghazi disaster which occurred back on September 11, 2012 when Islamic militants attacked the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, killing two men, and then another attack several hours later which took the lives of two CIA contractors, has been a thorn in Ms. Clinton’s rump for the past couple of years.

 

There have been numerous meetings, investigations, and a million or so dollars spent on the effort, yet there is no reasonable resolution that will satisfy many of those people who have been working overtime to reach some kind of answers to the questions that continue to be asked of Hillary Clinton.

 

I watched off and on yesterday, October 22, more out of curiosity than to learn the truth about the incident that took four American lives. The way I see it is if you volunteer to work these diplomatic posts in foreign countries, you are risking your life, and sadly in the September 11, 2012 attack in Libya some of these people lost their lives.

 

It’s kind of the hazard of the job… if you’re unlucky, or you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, there could be hell to pay. These people know the risks, their families know the risks, and anyways…thay make a bit more than just a living wage for their service.

 

Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State during that fateful September day in 2012 and her life was placed even more in the big fish-bowl of political life. Did she strike out in her decisions regarding moving troops from one place to another…well probably so, but like some famous general once said… “Mistakes are made aplenty during wars.”

 

Was it the Secretary of State’s job to make defensive decisions with regards to military type strategies, I sure the hell hope not, she’s not qualified. Those decisions are left up to military personnel; it’s what they are supposed to be good at.

 

As the Republican lead investigative House committee hammered away at Clinton for what turned into a marathon 11 hour blood bath of questioning that frankly made little sense to me, Clinton emerged little worse for the wear…and the 11 hour questioning showed any Americans who watched and really listened how fractured the United States political system is.

 

I Got To Tell You…I Understand

 

Some of the committee members who were asking the questions resembled kids who had been bullied on their grade school playground years…and were now getting even. A major portion of the questions posed made them sound like idiots…email this, email that, get over it.

 

Hillary Clinton is probably not an easy person to like, and yes she has a philandering husband, and I’ll bet they don’t wear “Arrow underwear,” I know a whole host of people that I would not trust with my beer money…but I kind of figure that those kinds of people deserve to become the President of the United States, a kind of “good enough for you,” deal.

 

 

I look at the different candidates from both parties and I see a bunch of silly people who thrist for the kind of perceived power that comes from being the President of the United States, and I look a video clips from before they were elected to the country’s highest post, and then another clip four or eight years later, and the difference is startling. They are old, most beyond their years…and I think, “I wouldn’t take that job on a bet.”   

 

Benghazi if over, and has been for more than 36 months, and the 12 people on this inquiry committee have asked enough questions, and sure as hell have spend enough money (over $4 million and counting).

 

These 12 people, 7 Republicans and 5 Democrats, 11 of which are college graduates, 9 who practiced  law, one college dropout, and one disabled war veteran make up the committee. I see one problem right away…to many lawyers. It’s a well know fact that lawyers like to argue.

 

These people that we have elected to office to “actually do our bidding” need to get on with the business of government…not politics. Aren’t you as sick as I am about what these people are doing? I got to tell you, I’d vote straight democrat if I figured that they’d do a better job than those jokers we’ve got doing our bidding at the present time…but I’m afraid the end results would be quite the same as we’ve got right now.

 

Have A Nice Day!

REPUBLICANS ARE HUMAN TOO

 REPUBLICANS ARE HUMAN TOO

FRAZER CHRONICLE

Aha, I knew that headline would grab your interest, if for nothing else then to see what another wacko was talking about. The United States political system is not hard to figure out; in fact it’s really easy to understand…just as quickly as a person accepts just the three basic rules of survival. And those three basic rules are the same the world over…honest, and I’m not making this stuff up.

 

Everybody and I mean everybody needs somebody to love, three meals a day, and a roof over your head for protection. Almost like that old saying, “Three hots and a cot” and the quicker we all remember this basic rule, the better off the country and the world will be.

 

The United States is currently in the midst of the grand experiment that is called the country’s “Political process.” A sillier practice there never has been, muck-raking, and all that the term implies, tends to blur issues until they are actually unrecognizable to the electorate…and the US is the most informed peoples in the world!

 

There are some basic truths that US citizens needs to accept, truths that are rock solid facts that separate the dominate political parties, the Democrats and the Republicans. The divides aren’t shadowy, or secrets, they are as plain as the noses on people’s faces.

 

Democrats or liberals favor a sharing of financial resources; they like to get into everybody’s back pockets, grab some of your cash, and spread it around…to everybody. They like social programs, they like universal health care, and they like a kind of welfare state.

 

Republicans like to keep their money, they figure that they worked for it, and by God, don’t want anybody grabbing it for any reason. They think that 90% of social programs should be wiped away, and that people should work for, and provide their own benefits and care.

 

With regards to taxation issues, both sides of the political isle favor some form of tax cuts in some instances. Democrats favor a kind of pick and chose program to eliminate some taxation while Republicans favor a across the board slash and cut style.

 

Here I clash with both parties, I happen to believe that our system of taxation should, in fact, be of a higher percentage. I don’t feel that an 18% tax of lower income people is fair, nor do I figure that a 36% tax rate is fair for those people that are making more than $200,000. This issue should be at the top of the things that we should solve. Not our elected officials…but we all should sit, talk about this issue, and then collectively decide how to tax ourselves.

 

What Are Taxes Anyways and Where Do They Come From and Go

 

The question of how long people have been being taxed is actually an academic one; people have been paying taxes to a higher source since the beginning of time…almost. Ancient pharaohs road around in their chariots 5000 years ago collecting funds to operate the kingdom in Egypt, or anyways that’s what my source says.

 

The United States did not invent the habit of taxing legal citizens, however they might have invented the practice of taxing people at various levels, like state, regional, area, and local. Every time you pay an excise tax, or as they say, “A consumption or commodity charge” you are paying a local, state, and federal tax…kind of like a triple header attack on your wallet.

 

Most Republicans see red around April 15 of each year; it’s kind of like the “fess-up day” for people who guard their income like it’s a national treasure. These are the people who pee and moan about the size of their payments, or if they are like my brother-in-law, pee and moan every time they pay their quarterly.

 

Believe it or not…in my opinion, taxes are a good thing, “If spent for the proper programs, and kept away from those greedy bastard corporate entities.” Yup that’s right, you’re reading right, let me repeat it, “Taxes are a good thing.” But that is the trick, to get those tax dollars to the proper programs, and keep them out of the wrong hands...something that the government seems to be unable, or unwilling to do.

 

If you break down how much is spent on every single dollar that the government gets in tax payments for Mr. or Mrs. John Q. or Joan Q. Public, it’s broken down about this way, (1) military .27 cents, health care .22.7, interest on debt .13.9, unemployment .9.8, veterans benefits .5.1, food and agriculture .5, government .4.5, housing and community .4, education .2, energy and environment 1.9, international affairs .1.5, transportation .1.4, sciences .1.1.

 

The above should add up to a dollar bill, notice any discrepancies, I mean maybe too much is being spent in one category, or maybe one of your pet peeves isn’t being stroked enough with Uncle Sam’s greenbacks?

 

Let break our tax appropriations down so that even simple people like me can fully understand where our tax dollars are going: $3,174.25, military, $2,662.58, health, interest on national debt, $1,624.58, unemployment and labor, $1,146.58, veterans benefits, $592.00, food and agriculture, $591.12, government, $532.94, housing and community, $467.70, education, $237.97, energy and environment, $217.25, international affairs, $177.29, transportation, $159.35, sciences, $131.29. Added all together the above figures are what the average U.S. taxpayer pays…$11,715.00.

 

Tax dollars in varying degrees come directly from United States citizens, those taxes are paid in different ways, and in varying amounts. Our elected officials through committees, suggested bills, or in special interest situations decide where the money will go, and who gets their mitts on it.

 

Appropriations are packaged in request budgets from dozens of governmental departments, and sub-departments, and go before other committees before it is submitted to the President, who in turn relies on his advisors to hammer out a finished product that will be submitted.

 

Do you see where I’m coming from, both Republicans and Democrats are involved in the American process that decides how much, and where our tax dollars go. It isn’t a single bogie man or political party, it’s a cross section of people, people of different faiths, different genders, and different colors…it’s really the only thing that the United States is noted for, it’s melting pot of people.

 

The 2015 proposed budget “preliminary actual” was $3.249 trillion, down from $3.34 trillion requested. The total expenditures projected are $3.685, which will leave the United States in a deficit spending mode.

 

There are more figures, but my vision is becoming blurry, and I deal with statistical figures every day, so I figure to give you a break. Suffice it to say that to say that the United States is up to its butt in debt, and at the present time has no plans of getting out from under it.  

 

Once Again We Enter the Silly Season

 

The country is now entering what I refer to as the silly season, it’s the time where perfectly sane people begin to act like kids, slinging mud all over the place against people in their own political party as well as those of a different political persuasion. Each talk about how they will fix what is wrong in the country…depending on which party they are from.

 

These are perfectly intelligent, usually hard working, and patriotic individuals whose only flaw is that they have a different opinion from their opposition…in their own party as well as any other party.

 

This debate between the political parties has been going on for over 200 years, however in modern times the U.S. has managed to whittle the number of political thinking to just two parties, the Democrats and the Republicans. Also between the politicians and those powers that be have redesigned our political process to resemble a popularity, who’s the best looking, and who can be manipulated the best.

 

Oh yea…it also takes millions of dollars to operate a modern political campaign on many levels throughout the country. That task, of raising millions of dollars to run a 21^st century campaign cuts all sorts of good people, with wonderful ideas out of the equation.

 

Our political process not resembles something like a monarch, where just a few people have the power to operate the country. The United States is one of the older countries in existence today, 237 years old. What do you feel are the chances for the country to see its 250^th birthday…I would say less than a 50-50 chance, how about you smarty pants?

 

Have A Nice Day!
