MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

 

Christmas in Europe

 

This is what happens when you let nearly a million unvetted people into your country, Germany.  Police are patrolling Christmas markets to prevent bombings.  This something that never happened before 2015 when then-Chancellor Angela Merkle, with no vote or debate, let tons of people into the country.  Now there have been terrorist attacks and the country seems to be rudderless.

Three terrorists were caught in Germany planning attacks along with one other from the Netherlands, who was extradited to Berlin.  Denmark caught three others as well.

Meanwhile, the Border Patrol found 10 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) carried by people walking over the border.

Rule #1 of any government is to protect its people.  Biden clearly is not interested in doing it.  If he is not removed, make him irrelevant by ignoring anything coming out of DC.  Worked for India and the Canadian truckers started the downfall of COVID with peaceful resistance.  Time to do it again to save the country. 

No violence, no revolution.  Just non-cooperation until they do their jobs.

The 2024 election is going to be very interesting...

Back from AZ!

 

Chelly and I were out in Arizona for a couple of weeks, romping around the Superstition Mountains.  We generally stay on the front side of the mountains.  My favorite trial--#56--goes a little behind, but not too far.  Too many rumors of people falling in crevices and cliffs back there!

Haven't seen any lizard people or aliens though.

Naturally we arrive home just in time to see the Arizona Cardinals beat Pittsburgh :-(

It was a little chilly by AZ standards and some people, seeing my Penguins cap, accused me of bring "Pennsylvania weather" to the desert.  Well, they got the last laugh with the Cardinals winning in Pittsburgh...

 Naturally, the cats were upset we had left without permission.

We got them the food they like and we might be forgiven.

Maybe :-)  

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Romping around in PA!

 

Michelle and I went up to the motherland, Pennsylvania to romp around Gettysburg.  We had not been there for a while and went East into Amish country near Lancaster.  We usually roam around the West side of the state and don't really go beyond Gettysburg, so it was a welcome departure to check out a new place.

We did stop short of going into Philadelphia!

We also took the back way through Western Maryland and Northern Virginia.  We went past the Antietam and Bull Run battlefields before getting back on I-95 and a direct route home. 

Next time, we might go for the Great Plains and up to the Canadian border to yell insults at Justin Trudeau.  Gotta feeling no one will try to stop me...LOL

 

Happy Veterans Day!

 

More Middle East stuff...

 

There have been forty (probably more...) drone attacks against US troops in Syria and Iraq since the outbreak of the Israeli-Hamas.  Fortunately no American soldiers have been killed.  So, what happens if one does get killed?

The US has launched a few airstrikes, but against minor targets.  The Iranian-backed militias do not seem that impressed. 

A deadly Iraqi militia strike could restart another Iraq War and it seem pretty obvious US troops are not welcome there.  It might be a good idea to leave, but do so under the cover of airstrikes.  I don;t like the idea of leaving like that, but it is better than another Afghan debacle and the possibility of a war with Iran, leading to wider regional war and who knows after that.

With the somewhat low quality of leadership in DC, America might be sleep walking into a Third World War.
