I'm not one for following the network news. I don't believe the spin that they put on the very news that I read unadulterated earlier in the day. If I want a spin, I'll go to the carnival. That being said- I am reading horror story after horror story about the heartless corporation known as Walmart closing five stores with almost no notice to its employees.
I have read that Walmart closed five stores because of plumbing issues. I have also read that they were closed to facilitate B.O.'s invasion exercise. I have read that they will be detention facilities. I don't believe a word of it.
If I had a dog in the fight-my guess would be that five stores had recently voted to unionize. If they were stupid enough to do that, they voted themselves out of a job. The economy sucks or hadn't anyone told them lately? If they foolishly believed the media, then more is the pity. How does that unemployment feel now? Of course they got a smidgen of severance pay. But they would probably rather have jobs, huh?
What did they think those unions were going to give them, anyway? $12 an hour to start?? Good luck with that. I am not now or will I ever be a huge fan of Walmart, but less so am I a fan of unions. Kind of a toss right? But five stores have closed their doors and I don't really believe it's a plumbing issue. But you know, if those associates tore something up hoping to get some kind of leverage, they look even dumber now, don't they?
Walmart is not a job for the faint hearted. Retail in general means you will be dealing with people that have never been taught basic manners, and management that doesn't care. The only way to survive working for a faceless corporation is to leave the job when you clock out. You cannot make it personal, you have to leave it at the door.
But if Walmart has closed five stores because of unionization- then good for them. That's what they did when the meat cutters unionized. They stopped doing that in the stores and let those people go. They sent all of their meat through giant facilities that cut the meat there and then shipped it to the stores. Why wouldn't they?
People shop at Walmart for one reason: low prices. When Walmart stops providing the lowest prices they will go the way of K-mart. Unions will promise ridiculous wage increases ( and they better be to cover those forced union dues) and then when Walmart gets the demand, they say no. So when the unions threaten strikes ( the only arrow in their quiver) then the world's largest retailer closes the doors. Pretty simple, huh?
I thank God everyday that I don't have to work there anymore. The less I have to deal with either of those entities-the better. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Heterosexuals Have Rights Too or Why are 6 and a Half Million People Telling the Rest of Us What to Do?
I am not a pro homosexual person. I know people that chose to be in same sex relationships, I even consider some of them friends. Do I think that they were born that way? Nope. Not one of them.
I do think that they have suffered from some sort of trauma that caused them to react by rejecting the heterosexual sex they should have.
Let the hate mail begin.
First, homosexuality is not nearly as common as one would expect it to be. I don't watch television and I cannot escape the pervasive agenda to make homosexuality normal. It isn't that common at all. In the most recent survey that I could find, 2.4% of the population identified as homosexual. That comes out to 6450760.12 people. Yes, you read that right. Less than 6.5 million people have decided that the rest of us must accept their choices. Or else.
It helps that B.O. has lost every other demographic and must now go mining for someone, anyone to still think of him favorably. Pathetic. I have friends that think of it as a tolerance issue. How nice for them. There is a pizza shop in Indiana that could tell you all about the 'tolerance' they received when they refused to cater a homosexual event. There is also a florist that went out of business after being overwhelmed with "tolerance" for having an opinion about homosexuality that didn't sit well with those who would shove it down our throats.
When researching the numbers for this, I read countless studies about the actual number of homosexuals. I discounted every study that included prison experiences. No offense to our incarcerated population, but the idea that the prisons can give us an accurate count of the amount of homosexuals in our country is laughable.
When I would run across a pro homosexual study, it would almost always tout the number 10 %. And that number is accurate so long as you include those who had homosexual relationships while confined to jail cells and never had a homosexual encounter after that. Just give me the data, I don't need outliers in the numbers.
It would be the same as polling right outside a McDonald's to find out how many meat eaters we have in our country.
So now that we are looking at the real numbers- about 2.4%, we can destroy another liberal meme about homosexuality. It is nothing like the civil rights movement. People of all sorts were discriminated against-blacks, Asians, even Irish. I have often said that Catholicism is one of the few religions it is acceptable to disparage. Sexual orientation is not a protected status. At least it shouldn't be. Make your choices and live with them. I shouldn't have to bake you a cake for your dress up party if it's my business. Find another baker who wants to. See how easy that was?
In several studies of twins that I was able to find in nanoseconds (thanks Internet!) only half of the maternal twins in the comprehensive study were both homosexual. How can that be if homosexuality is something that you are "born " with? In the case of maternal twins, they are exactly the same biologically speaking. An exact match if you will. Only in half of the cases were both twins homosexual. That shoots down the idea that anyone is born that way. You can't argue with the numbers.
Live your life. If you chose to be a homosexual, good for you. But it doesn't make you a protected class of folks, and you don't get more rights than other people get. If you have a partner and want to protect them-make a will. Get insurance and name them as the beneficiary. See how easy that was?
If you want to have a dress up day and decide to have the same last name, then fine. But you aren't married, you are delusional if you think that you are. It takes one of each. If you think I'm wrong then the two of you should go make a baby and prove to me and science that we're wrong. Oh, you can't? I guess that just like marriage- making a baby takes one of each. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

The Ted Cruz Roast
Ted Cruz is making things very difficult for the msm. He is clearly conservative enough to please those that drive the Republican Party's enthusiasm levels. He is well spoken, and to date he has been able to avoid all of the foot in mouth problems that some conservative candidates have stumbled through.
Ted Cruz makes it very difficult for the msm. If his eligibility is questioned (and it has been by some irony challenged) then it raises the humongous double standard that Obama's ineligibility and fraud were proven conclusively https://youtu.be/XWmWO18GTc8 and the media simply chose to ignore it.
If forensic specialists had been involved in President Bush's military service questions, Dan Rather might still have a job, huh?
I agree with many of the things that Senator Cruz says. I disagree with some, but he is head and shoulders better than the hot mess we are stuck with for now.
I love that there are those who claim Senator Cruz doesn't have enough experience yet. These are the same unprepossessing folks who thought that Barrak Hussein Sotaro Obama was just hunky dory and the second coming.
Remember the swooning? The reported 'cool factor' that Obama had? I still shudder at the idea that he would be the 'smartest guy in the room.' How small is that room anyway?
I still like Paul Ryan, he was the best part of Mitt Romney's unending run for the White House. He has great ideas and an impeccable reputation. I trust him when he tells me something. I wouldn't trust B.O. to make change for a dollar.
How about if we quit using all of these liberal double standards? How about if we just hear the truth-all of the truth- about the people that want to lead our country? It would be so refreshing if the media removed themselves from the process and just told me the facts.
It wasn't that long ago that the Harry Reid questioned the ethnicity of Mr. Cruz. That was another under reported story for the media. It didn't fit in with their narrative, I guess. Of course, Mr. Reid's comments about B.O. not having a "negro dialect" were also seriously under reported.
Think for yourself and get your information from many sources. You'll thank me later.

Nice to be Back
I didn't use my internet during Lent. It was a nice break and a great chance to realize how much time that I waste online. Of course, my blood pressure was a little lower because I wasn't paying attention to ow badly Obama was screwing us over as a nation, but all good things must come to an end, I suppose. Several things happened in my absence, and luckily I have an opinion for all of it.
First of all, I got rid of the tenants that were not good. I will not miss the Hess' there I said it. In the interest of avoiding any sort of litigation all I will say is that I will not rent to them again. I suppose that is why they didn't use me as a reference to the next sucker that they rented from, isn't it?
I have been interviewing potential tenants for the last two weeks and I don't have a very high opinion of people in general.
I cannot believe that I am surprised, of course. Yes, I check references. Here is a tip: pay your bills. I had a couple that paid a deposit, and then backed out of the lease. He would have been a long walk to take, if you understand what I mean. I am not sorry that the lease didn't work out. In this area, the ground is wet. You get that when the town is built on a swamp. A small bit of water in the basement is normal. Wanting to get sideways about it isn't.
I had forgotten how ignorant people can be. Yes, you have to pay your own utilities. Yes, that is a lot of money- have you been to the grocery store lately? In spite of the party line, yes, there is rampant inflation. Welcome to the world.
On another note, the greatest dog in the world-Caliope- is fat and sassy. She is probably on a chair right now, since I'm not home. Imagine that.
I don't understand how Iran having nuclear weapons can be good for anyone. Isn't it strange that the same idiot who wants to take away my guns has absolutely no problem allowing an insane area to have the ability to wipe out Israel. Shame on any moron that voted for him. Including the dead ones who left their graves to pull a Kennedy and vote for him twice.
But I guess that's enough for now. Happy belated Easter.
