If Jim Crow Smoked Crack

Massachusetts

Only 68.31% of Massachusetts registered voters bothered to vote in the last Presidential election. This from a state who seemingly takes great pride in voting and claim that they are the champions of democracy?

Why? 

Since the great depression Massachusetts has been a reliable democratic stronghold with only Ike and Reagan being able to break through the Democrats grip on power. 

The 1930 census marked the beginning of the Massachusetts relative population decline. This decline has resulted in the loss of seven Congressional seats over the last 100 years. 

When the Census requires reapportionment, districts must be redrawn. Massachusetts turned blue in 1929 and since the 1930 census those seven seats lost have created seven opportunities to redraw Massachusetts Congressional districts to maximize Democrat control. The final result was absolutely not democratic but Democrat perfection. Republicans are no longer represented in Massachusetts and the Democrat's political power is virtually absolute. Not being able to elect a Republican to Congress since 1992 I believe the Right has rightly given up on Massachusetts.

I'm actually shocked that 62.3% of Massachusetts' registered voters turned out in 2024. Seriously, why would any Republican bother voting? Clearly Massachusetts is losing  population. Thousands of conservatives have fled the state for good which undoubtedly has contributed to the states population decline. Moreover many of those Republicans are fleeing to Red states. Had the 2020 Census in accounted for just 25,000 fewer Massachusetts residents the State would have lost yet another Congressional seat and either Texas or Florida would have gained one resulting in a two vote swing. 

Since the Census counts everyone but none citizens on vacation Governor Maura Healey likely shored up Massachusetts' population the by conservatively "allowing" 50,000 illegal aliens to take up residency during the Biden Administration. Some of these illegal aliens were unbelievably flown directly from their honey countries to Massachusetts. In beginning of the Biden administration many stories surfaced and videos went viral of hundreds of flights, in the dead of night, flying illegals from border detention facilities into the core of the United States.

The Pew Research Center's report, published on July 22, 2024, titled "What we know about unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S.," states that the unauthorized immigrant population in the United States grew to 11.0 million in 2022, based on the 2022 American Community Survey, marking the first sustained increase since 2005-2007. It specifically notes that from 2019 to 2022, the unauthorized immigrant population grew in six states: Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Texas, while California saw a decrease. If you believe other studies that rely on tracking remittances to foreign countries it's likely the United States has double if not triple these numbers.

Clearly, Massachusetts does not want to experience what New York did post 20200 Census. New York "lost" a Congressional seat by 89 people. New York's Democrats fought back and redrew their Congressional districts to maintain their 19 democratic seats. Unlike Massachusetts, the new New York Congressional map was challenged and ended up in the New York State Court of Appeals. In a 4-3 vote the court ruled the State had over stepped and violated their State Constitution.

"This ruling happened on April 27, 2022, and it found that the maps drawn by the Democratic-controlled State Legislature were an illegal partisan gerrymander, violating the state's constitution. As a result, a special master was appointed to redraw the maps, and these court-ordered maps were used for the midterm 2022 elections." 

New York House of Representatives:

2020 - 19 Democrats and 8 Republicans 

2022 - 15 Democrats and 11 Republicans

2024 - 19 Democrats and 7 Republicans*

* Note the New York State Court of Appeals' Special Master drawn districts lasted only one election cycle. "Mid Census" New York's legislature redistricted just prior to the 2024 election. The "modest" redistricting got things "back" to normal. 

It's important to note the US Census counts virtually everyone. Foreign dignitaries, embassy staff, and even foreigners on vacation who do not have a home address in their home country are counted. It would seem the only people not counted are foreigners waiting for a flight home.

Every time Massachusetts lost a Congressional seat they had to redistrict. The new districts were consistently redrawn to ensure the the party in power did NOT lose any seats.

In 2024 Trump won over 36 percent of the vote (which would have been higher if Trump had even the slightest chance of winning in Massachusetts) and yet all nine of Massachusetts' Congressional seats are firmly held by Democrats whose only political fear is being primaried by the lunatic Left.

The balls it takes for an outraged Gov. Maura Healey (D-MA) to threaten retaliatory redistricting in response to Texas' mid Census gerrymandered is breathtaking. 

Is there anyone left who doesn't understand why the Biden Administration (aka the lunatic cabal that controlled the autopen) opened the borders? Why millions who illegally entered our country were quickly processed and then flown into dying red states? Did you know that towards the end of the Biden Administration our government chartered flights to fly illegal aliens directly from their home country into blue states?

The paperwork trail of this epic betrayal of our nations laws let alone our sovereignty must be exposed and those responsible punished. People absolutely need to go to jail and this must never happen again. How the Left continues to justify these actions saddens me and makes me fearful for our nation's future and even our existence as America. 

36% Trump - 0% Congressional?

Sometimes I forget that most of the Country does not know that in all of New England there is only one Senator to represents the views of conservatives and even say Susan Collins is that's kinda pushing it. 

New England US Senate & House*

2016 - 30 Democrats and 3 Republicans 

2018 - 32 Democrats and 1 Republican 

2020 - 32 Democrats and 1 Republican

2022 - 32 Democrats and 1 Republican

2024 - 32 Democrats and 1 Republican

*Note: In 2007 Senator Bernie Sanders declared he was an Independent. In 2013 Senator Angus King declared he was an Independent. Both caucus with the Democrats.

Covid Naturally Underwent Zoonosis and Jumped from Animal to Humans!

Zoonosis...

 "The zoonotic origin of SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, is a widely supported hypothesis based on available evidence. Research indicates it likely originated in bats, with genetic similarities to bat corona viruses, and may have jumped to humans, possibly via an intermediate host like pangolins, at a wet market in Wuhan, China.

This aligns with patterns seen in other corona viruses like SARS and MERS. However, the exact animal source and transmission pathway remain under investigation, with no definitive intermediate host confirmed.

Alternative theories, like a lab leak, lack conclusive evidence and are less favored by current scientific consensus." Grok 3

Don't feel bad if you never heard the term "Zoonosis". It was coined in 1855 by a German physician and the first English usage was in 1873. It became widely used in the early 1950's by the World Health Organization. The same organization that for months told the entire world Covid-19 was not _______________. Good luck reconstructing the recent history we all just lived through. You will need to use the Wayback Machine to fill in the blank. The WHO lied to all of us from the very beginning of COVID and that truth is now buried deep.

Furthermore, even now the lies continue. I'm shocked a few people are still outside alone wearing masks. It's frankly mind blowing that 99.9125% of the world's population survived the World Wide Covid-19 pandemic. What? Yep, "only" 7,000,000 people world wide died of COVID. According to the NIH just 59 healthy American children died of COVID. How is that possible? Didn't most of the US shut down their schools for at least 18 months?

It's extremely likely the number of child deaths and serious injuries from the "safe and effective" shot (it was called a vaccine but clearly it wasn't) will be in the thousands maybe the tens of thousands. The cost benefit calculations of vaccinating our nations children clearly missed the mark and eventually this truth will also surface. Now you know why Anthony Fauci was given a preemptive blanket pardon.

If anyone still believes Donald Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russians and that's the main explanation for Hillary Clinton's loss you clearly have TDS and there is no cure.

If you still believe the Russians (Putin) did everything they could to help Trump win because he was the favored candidate then you are not paying attention to all the information that was recently declassified. Most of us on the Right have know this for years. It's been so long I can't recall why it became obvious. Maybe because the Russians paid Bill Clinton $500,000 for a 45 minute speech? Maybe Secretary of State Clinton's 2009 debacle using a red "reset" button labeled "peregruzka" (Russia for overload) that she pushed with the Russian foreign minister? 

My point? AI says it's highly unlikely COVID originated from a lab in Wuhan, China. AI continues to mention bats, Pangolins and the local Wuhan wet market as the scientific consensus of the origins of COVID-19. How AI can ignore the FBI and other Intel agencies reports seems crazy. The president of the United States repeatedly stating he is confident that it came from the lab in Wuhan, China means absolutely nothing because it's Donald J. Trump?

Over and over Trump says something and the world laughs only to later find out that he was spot on and just telling the American people what he's been told. One would hope the President is being brief by the best of the best Deep State be damned. Everyone needs to consider the Deep State may very well be controlling some if not many aspects of AI's search results.

RV-14A Build Update

The Build Continues!

Building has been slow as of late. I've been dealing with the untimely death of my awesome brother-in-law. Also this March my 90 year old mother passed away. Their deaths and dealing with their estates as well as finally liquidating my dad's estate from 1998 has taken it's toll on my energy and time. Furthermore, I've decided not to add new clients but focus on my existing client base. Investing since the election of DJT has been interesting to say the least.

Me, Darryl and Miss Mabel 

Recently it dawned on me that 20% (likely 2%) of rivets take up 80% of your time. Here is an example of a Rube Goldberg solution in action to squeezing two extraordinary hard to reach rivets.

Getting at one #4 rivet at the firewall

Squeezing #4 rivets (1/8 inch) with a squeezer best suited for #3 rivets (3/8 inch) is tough even if you're strong and have the leverage needed. I have a pneumatic and a hydraulic squeezer but they are too wide to get into locations like this.

Solution? Believe it or not the hand squeezed vice easily replaced my arms? Yep, it worked better that I thought possible. Another arrow in the builders quiver!

Prepping the skin for self etching primer 

I will fly the plane for a year before it's professionally painted. However, most builders will prime and paint areas that will be semi exposed but still hidden. Scuffing the area and then carefully using acetone to prep the surface prior to priming is a must. 

Exhaust fans and a paint rated respirator!

It's crazy what you can do in your TV room/man cave. I've put the elevators, rudder and vertical stabilizer in my office upstairs but I'm absolutely running out of room.

My fuselage is 1/2 foot wider than a 172

Enough for now, it's time to figure out what the next solution is going to be for some insanely small blind rivets that don't work. 

Gretchen Whitmer... WTF?

Dumb is Dumb

Sometimes a picture is worth a 1,000 words. Gretchen Whitmer why would you cover your face when you notice someone "randomly" taking your picture at the White House? Do you know you just killed you future political aspirations? Yes your political aspirations took a hit when your husband was caught using your family's boat during the peek of COVID? Did you think the voting public wouldn't remember you banned buying garden seeds but deemed buying Marijuana essential?

"They are ripping this country apart for the billionaires." 

Really? There are fewer than 1,000 billionaires in the United States and yes the majority of them are on the Left. You think the government is doing what it's doing for just these people because they are insanely rich? No tax on tips. No tax on social security. No tax on overtime... All designed to help the rich? Are you kidding me?

"They are Erasing women, gay, trans, black, and Hispanics for their white supremacy Christian nationalist agenda."

Who is they? I'm guessing they is the Administration. 

The only group that the Administration is not actively doing positive things for is the transexual community which unfortunately is in direct conflict with protecting women. For example, Title IX was designed to make sports equal and fair for all students, regardless of sex. Government and private agencies receiving federal funding need to comply with the law. The law mandates that institutions provide equitable opportunities for participation, athletic scholarships, and overall athletic benefits and opportunities for both men and women. 

Since 1972 women have been given protections. The results of have been absolutely amazing. With the stroke of a pen the Biden Administration redefined definitions of sex within this law and made it a crime not to allow biological men to compete with women. The Left celebrated this change and when it was reversed by Trump that was proof Trump is a dictator.

Gretchen, I wonder if you had a good time at the White House. What was it like facing down a dictatorship? I wonder when you first learned about your assassination plot code named ____________. I'm hopeful that Kash Patel will declassify everything that FBI "operation" did. Looking back it sure seemed to be a well timed state funded 2020 Presidential election October surprise diversion tactic to shift America's attention away from the Hunter Biden Laptop.

"The FBI arrested the plotters in October 2020 after authorities say they discussed raising $4,000 to purchase the explosive to blow up the bridge near Whitmer’s vacation home."

Hitler Hitler Hitler Hitler

Does the Left really think that Elon is doing DOGE for personal gain to increase his net worth? 

Do they really think he's a white supremacist? 

Is he a Nazi or Baby Hitler?

Did he buy Twitter to make money?

When was the last time he got a W-2? 

FYI, he hasn't been paid anything for years. 

He earns no income other than what he makes selling his stock. Also, Tesla is his only publicly owned company. On paper Elon has lost $121 billion in the last three months as the Left loses its collective mind and the media reports and hypes the attacks on Tesla cars and dealerships. It might not shock you to know Teslas are rarely owned by conservatives. The Left is attacking their own and they just don't care as the end justifies the means.

Working for the government has cost Elon dearly. It may seem crazy but it could cost him his life. My support of the Trump agenda has cost me a few dear friends and stressed the relationships with both of my daughters.

I've been a political animal my entire life. How many small and 4x8 signs did I put up for Republicans? How much time have I given? How many conventions? How many meetings? How much money? I didn't volunteer or donate to Trump. How is it my daughters think I'm a Trump nut?

My gift that I've honed over my life and continue to sharpen is seeing things as they are. Being in touch with the universe and listening to my inner voice has been my secret sauce of success.

Yes, I still screw up. The National Retail Sales Tax has not caught on like I thought it would. However, I was right about COVID coming from a lab in Wuhan. Cloth and surgical masks were stupid. Preventing people from going outside during COVID and getting sunlight and fresh air was criminal. Once the stats started coming out it was obvious this virus almost exclusively attacked the elderly and did not pose a risk for healthy children. Today few acknowledge that no healthy child in America died of COVID-19.

Yes, I love my kids so much at times it hurts and I don't want this shit to come between us. However, Trump isn't a dictator. He's not the next Hitler and if anyone can find a dozen things on the DOGE cut list that shouldn't be cut I will vote Democrat the next cycle and not blog about politics ever again. I desperately want sanity back in our political discord but I'm not going to pretend Trump or Musk is freaking Hitler!

You had to see this live to understand

DOGE team interview that prompted this rant.

Mary E. Beemer

Mary Evelyn Beemer (Maurer) died Sunday March 9, 2025 of natural causes. Born May 14, 1934 Mary lived to be almost 91, a feat that she was quite proud of. Mary walked on her own, ate lunch at her kitchen table, went outside for fresh air and enjoyed watching TV a week before she passed.

Mary was preceded in death by husbands Rex I. Beemer and Thomas C. Moore, parents Guy and Esther Maurer, sister Leona Smith and brother William Maurer. Mary and Rex Beemer had three sons Craig (Deb) of Hudson, Wisconsin, Mark (Melissa) of River Falls, Wisconsin and David (Kristina) of Bath, Maine. Mary’s sons and grandchildren (Andy, Laura, Kate, Heidi and Chloe) were part of Mary’s life, and to a small extent so were her five great grandchildren.

Mary Beemer was born in Tipton, Iowa and attended the University of Iowa where she studied nursing and met her future husband Rex. Mary was a loving wife and mother and during her married years she played Bridge with a women’s group in Woodbury, Minnesota and was active in politics. She liked to fish with her husband and children. She raised her three sons in Woodbury and lived on Pinewood Court for 32 years. Mary was proud of her three sons’ success in sports and their graduation from college.

Not long after her first husband Rex’s passing, Mary purchased a cabin in Ely Minnesota to be near her sister Leona and her brother-in-law Delbert Smith. In her later years, she loved spending winters in Punta Gorda, Florida and taking the occasional cruise with her second husband Tom.

Mary enjoyed reading Romance novels, listening to music she grew up with, and singing with her Woodbury United Methodist Church and “The Bells” at Brandon Oaks in Roanoke, Virginia.

Mary had a creative sense of humor. She named her Ely cabin “Sonbeem Cabin” and developed go-to catch phrases to help her deal with her mental decline. “That’s stupid.”, “Never seen that before.” and “What’s new?” became linguistic gems that continue to tickle those who really knew her.

The Beemer family would like to thank the Memory Care unit at Woodland Hill in Hudson, Wisconsin for their care in Mary’s final year.

While every life must come to an end, Mary's was long and in many ways she will be missed by her family. Visiting mom or gramma was an excuse for her sons and their families to get together. They will try to maintain their traditions and tell stories about Mary and Rex Beemer. As per Mary’s wishes, a graveside service will be held in Hampton, Iowa attended by her three sons. Donations and flowers are requested to be made in Mary’s name to your local Methodist Church.

Trump Addresses Congress March 4th, 2025

Trump's 83 Executive Orders

It wasn't the longest address to Congress but it definitely was one of the longest and the many interruptions didn't help. In modern times we have not seen such a low level of decorum. It was an embarrassment on a level rarely seen from adults let alone members of Congress.

The following sums up the high points of the 100 minute speech in President Trump's own words.

Illegal border crossings are down to an all-time low without any legislation. *** Zero in new Bills... Nothing! ***

Upon taking office, I imposed an immediate freeze on all federal hiring, a freeze on all new federal regulations and a freeze on all foreign aid.

I withdrew from the unfair Paris climate accord, which was costing us trillions of dollars that other countries were not paying.

I withdrew from the corrupt World Health Organization. 

I withdrew from the anti-American UN Human Rights Council. 

We ended all of Biden's environmental restrictions that were making our country far less safe and totally unaffordable.

We ended the last administration's insane electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto workers and companies from economic destruction.

I have directed that for every new regulation, ten old regulations must be eliminated.

We ordered all federal workers to return to the office. They will either show up for work in person or be removed from their job. 

I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America.

I signed an order making English the official language of the United States of America.

I renamed the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America. *** I'm not happy with this. ***

I renamed, for a great president, William McKinley, Mount McKinley again.

We've ended the tyranny of so-called diversity, equity and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government.

We have removed the poison of critical race theory from our public schools.

I signed an order making it the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.

I also signed an executive order to ban men from playing in women's sports.

I will also take historic action to dramatically expand production of critical minerals and rare earths here in the USA.

I have created the brand-new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE.

I want to do what has not been done in 24 years, balance the federal budget.

For $5 million, we will allow the most successful job creating people from all over the world to buy a path to US citizenship.

My administration will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy. Any federal bureaucrat who resists this change will be removed from office immediately. It's very simple. And the days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over.

I'm calling for no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security.

I also want to make interest payments on car loans tax deductible, but only if the car is made in America.

We want to cut taxes on domestic production and all manufacturing. 

We want 100% write-off/expensing for businesses.

On April 2nd, 2025, reciprocal tariffs will kick in. Whatever a country tariffs us, we will tariff them.

I signed the law that mandates the detention of all dangerous criminal aliens who threaten public safety.

I officially designated MS-13 and the bloodthirsty Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

I have signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer. I'm asking congress to pass that policy into permanent law.

I signed an executive order banning public schools from indoctrinating our children with transgender ideology.

I signed an executive order to cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in the sexual mutilation of our youth. I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes for children.

I will create a new Office of Shipbuilding in the White House and offer special tax incentives to bring this industry home to America.

Panama has not lived up to our treaty and we will be taking back control of the Panama Canal.

The United States will be taking over Greenland one way or another. *** I do not endorse this. ***

America will lead humanity into space and plant the American flag on the planet Mars and even beyond.

###

No doubt it's been an exhausting first forty days. Most people think President Trump has already signed more than 100 Executive Orders. Some believe it been over 200. President Trump has signed 84 Executive Orders. Many of which are feel good orders like the one renaming a national wildlife refuge after Jocelyn Nungarayacte. A 12 year old murdered by an illegal alien who's mother was a guest of the First Lady.

Furthermore, a few EOs have been put on hold by various Federal Judges. Orders like birth right citizenship are working their way through the courts. Unlike President Obama or President Biden, President Trump so far is abiding by court decisions and has repeatedly said he will continue to do so.

The Democrats are digging in and fighting Trump in every way possible. Most of Trump's agenda is polling at 80/20. Meaning, roughly 80% of Americans are supportive with the Dems fighting for the 20% fringe. For example the 20% of Americans who firmly believe biological "boys" playing in girls sports is okay. Most Americans understand transgender girls competing against girls is rare but when it happens it impacts hundreds, if not thousands of young women and will ripple throughout time as more and more female records are broken by young men who believe they are women.

The only place the Left can still fight and win is in the courts. Unfortunately they have been very successful "shopping" for a Leftist "retired" judge who works just a few days a month to sign off on obstructionist rulings. For example, the Left found a judge to rule only Federal employees, AKA bureaucrats at Treasury, are allowed to review government data bases for fraud, waste and abuse. This is preposterous. The ruling was so extensive it effectively barred the Secretary of the Treasury from looking at the books of his own Department. This was almost as bad as the Hawaiian Federal Judge blocking President Trumps 3rd attempt at his first term travel ban. What's even more crazy this ban was almost exactly the same as President Obama's. 

Big Hairy Balls?

Big Balls... 

If someone told me Big Balls or Hairy Balls or eventually "Big Hairy Balls" would be "talking points" of the Left, Democrats and Main Stream Media (all one in the same) I would have commented that you Sir have jumped the shark!

Is not Elon Musk the co-founder of PayPal? Is he not the creative genius behind SpaceX? He is the guy who bought Twitter for $44 billion dollars, cut 80% of the workforce and dramatically improved the platform. Few argue Musk isn't the driving force behind what virtually every expert said was impossible... The creation of a new car company that makes the world's first successful all electric car. Nope... Elon is the unelected billionaire who is ripping up the Constitution and destroying our democracy.

What Crap...

Unelected? By definition every single civil servant is unelected.

Is Musk ripping up the Constitution? US A.I.D.  being massively downsized seems radical until you realize JFK created this agency via an Executive Order. Yes it was later adopted by Congress but the Congressional scope was long ago elapsed by the agencies growth. Unlike Joe Biden killing the Keystone XL pipeline, killing drilling in ANWR or ignoring SCOTUS' ruling on tuition forgiveness, Trump is within his rights on this one.

Destroying democracy? President Barack Obama famously said that elections have consequences. Trump had a solid Electorial College victory. He won all seven swing states. Not that it matters but he also won the popular vote. Yes, I conceed the nation is essentially 50/50 but saying a democratically elected President exercising his Section II Constitutional powers is destroying democracy is BS.

Imagine this... Your boyfriend confronts you with massive evidence that you have been cheating on him with multi-men and all you do is scream at him for violating your privacy by looking at your phone. It's even worse... The President of the United States asked your boyfriend to look at your phone!

Elon first tried to identify how many government agencies actually existed. I tried to do this years ago and learned that "government" is massive beyond comprehension. I then focused on the Cabinet and quickly determined it too was beyond bloated.

Elon is going agency to agency with a team of geeks trying to track down where money is actually being spent. The Left is NOT defending the waste Musk has discovered they are just yelling at him.

As you can see by the headlines, every day is the end of the world - it’s a threat to Democracy, a Constitutional Crisis, a Nazi salute, a fascist in the White House. Everyone is to be feared. Every decision they make is bad and dangerous.

Will the Left wake up? Will they start being honest? Like the shrill attacks of a cheating girlfriend, Leftist will go on with their lives telling their friends "OMG he was looking at my freaking phone". "How can I ever trust him again?" The Left will comfort themselves while ignoring they've been screwing half the football team for the last 50 years.

Matthew Colangelo Pardoned?

First of all, who is Matthew Colangelo? Why would he receive a pardoned in the next four hours?

Matthew was the #3 person at the Department of Justice who left the Department to work with District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr.'s "Hush Money" prosecution of former President Trump. 

This case is nearly impossible to understand but in a nut shell, Trump violated FEC campaign finance laws (federal crime) which allowed the State of New York to prosecute the state misdemeanor bookkeeping charges (state crime) as felonies. One of the huge problems with this case... The FEC and the DOJ reviewed the campaign finance violations, started the process of prosecuting Trump and both the FEC and the DOJ decided not to charge. 

Hillary Clinton was fined by the FEC for funding the Russian Collusion dossier. 

Obama was fined $375,000 by the FEC for his shady money raising practices and lack of timely disclosure.

Trump and hush money? Surely the FEC fined him? Nope. Not only did the FEC not fine him the FEC dropped the case against him.

How did District Attorney Bragg's case come together expecially after Bragg himself initially turned it down? Enter Matthew Colangelo, the hired gun thrust into the mix by the Biden Administration to dirty up Trump.

The story is much deeper and involves the Attorney General of New York. It's likely none of this will ever come to light as President Biden hands out pardons like suckers to kids at the local doctor's office.
