Surrogate President?

Posted on 21/01/2022 by Grumpa Joe

Here is my advice to you. Pull your knee high rubber boots on, and get your muck rake ready. It seems our president in name only (PINO) has hired Actor Tom Hanks to deliver a pseudo the State of the Union speech. I will not watch Tom, nor will I watch Joe if he has the nerve to deliver such a speech. I have reached the point where I am asking my friends who they would rather have as president: Joe Biden or Kamala Harris? There is only silence. Okay, how about Joe Biden or Barack Obama? There is even more silence. Finally, I ask how about Joe Biden or Hillary? At that point I am ready to duck a punch.

No one will watch any more speeches delivered by Joe but perhaps they will watch his surrogate Tom, especially if the speech is delivered as a short commercial narration written by the Democratic National Committee explaining how much better the country is under Joe’s leadership. The stints will appear as commercials on major news networks. How could we not watch when we are really awaiting the weather forecast, or a sports score, and Tom Hanks appears to tell us how wonderful a president Joe is.

It’ll be good to hear how Joe has fulfilled his campaign promise to defeat COVID, or how he will lower gas prices, reduce run away inflation, and stop the flow of illegal immigration at the border, and turn these everyday human hardships into government acts of mercy propagated to save the world by preventing Antarctica from melting, and drowning us all.

220118-PSA-Insights

Posted on 19/01/2022 by Grumpa Joe

I copied this from a friend. It’s so insightful I had to share it. So much of this takes time and life to grasp.

This is too insightful not to share. I asked a friend who has crossed 70 & is heading towards 80 what sort of changes he is feeling in himself? He sent me the following:

1 After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself.

2 I have realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.

3 I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.

4 I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than I am.

5 I stopped telling the elderly that they’ve already told that story many times. The story makes them walk down memory lane & relive their past.

6 I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.

7 I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say “Thank You.”

8 I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances.

9 I walk away from people who don’t value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.

10 I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.

11 I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human.

12 I have learned that it’s better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships, I will never be alone.

13 I have learned to live each day as if it’s the last. After all, it might be the last.

14 I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!

I decided to share this for all my friends. Why do we have to wait to be 60 or 70 or 80, why can’t we practice this at any stage and age?

Shared from Steve Serie’s page.

Thanks Steve for sharing so many meaningful insights.

A Big Iron Rod Stuck into the Gears of Reset

Posted on 16/01/2022 by Grumpa Joe

It is becoming clear to me now. After Trump was elected president the entire world was against him. They worked together to destroy him and everything he stood for. What never made sense to me is why people hated the term “Make America Great Again,” especially Americans. What Trump did was to put a huge monkey wrench into the Reset to stop it from moving forward. Billionaires around the globe saw this and realized that their plot to transform the world was in jeopardy.

Below I have inserted the intro to Glen Beck’s new book from his web page. It was Glen Beck who explained the reset to me and I owe him for that.

About the Book

In The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First-Century Fascism, New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host Glenn Beck argues that the American way of life will not survive the Great Reset and warns us to stop it before it’s too late to reverse course.

An international conspiracy between powerful bankers, business leaders, and government officials; closed-door meetings in the Swiss Alps; and calls for a radical transformation of every society on earth—the Great Reset sounds like it is one henchman-with-an-eyepatch away from being the plot for the next James Bond movie.

But the Great Reset is not a work of fiction. It is a highly influential movement among the world’s elite to “reset” the global economy using banks, government programs, and environmental, social, and governance metrics. If they are successful and the Great Reset is finalized, it would put substantially more economic and social power in the hands of large corporations, international institutions, banks, and government officials, including Joe Biden, the United Nations, and many of the members of the World Economic Forum.

In The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First-Century Fascism, Glenn Beck uses his trademark blend of humor, storytelling, and detailed analysis to reveal for the first time the unbelievable truth about the Great Reset, tying together nearly two decades of groundbreaking research about authoritarian movements and their efforts to fundamentally transform the United States.

The roadmap to stopping the Great Reset begins with fully understanding what the free peoples of the world are up against, and no resource provides more information about this radical movement than Glenn Beck’s The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First-Century Fascism.

https://www.glennbeck.com/glenns-books/the-great-reset?rebelltitem=1#rebelltitem1

In my post Scary Shit, I included a link to a video which scared me to death. Klaus Schwab a German Engineer and Economist speaking at the World Economic Forum gives his view that “you will own nothing and be happy” under the great reset. He isn’t the first German to come up with a good idea to foist on humankind. It took Britain and the USA four long years to defeat the last good German idea. Basically, Schwab explains that smart guys like him need to control dumb guys like me to make the world a better place.

The video is included here.

Douglas Kruger

In order to be fair and balanced I include a rebuttal to this reset argument led by David Ansara with Douglas Kruger author and speaker who in my estimation does a better job of convincing me that we should flush the reset in the crapper.

The whole idea of letting guys and their companies like Zuckerberg of Facebook, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google, Jack Dorsey of Twitter, Tim Cook of Apple, Klaus Schwab engineer and economist rule the world because they have the money and truly believe that because they are fabulously rich they can control and run the world stinks. They are going backwards in time to an era when Kings owned everything(Communism) and their serfs owned nothing because the king owned the serf(slavery) and gave him what he needed.

Isn’t it funny that once Trump got going with his agenda to Make America Great Again, and it began to catch fire with the common man that a strange new virus appeared out of nowhere to create the pandemic? Isn’t it strange that politicians worked to impeach Trump, not once but twice, to stop his agenda? Isn’t it strange that mysterious forces at play allowed a loser like Joe Biden to pull off a win?

The reset isn’t working for me at all.
