Trump is brilliant as a target.

 The leaders in Washington both republican and democratic are going  after Donald Trump with both barrels over the next month. They want to force a free for all at the national convention and may even get Romney to enter the race. THEY DONT GET IT. They think politics as usual is still in play. What the establishment and bureaucrats cant comprehend is Trump supporters aren't voting for Trump . They are voting against all Washington insiders. I suspect the attacks to backfire. The harder they press him the larger his anti establishment  support will become.

Both party's fear the people have an outsider!

 

Now people change, we get better at hiding true self.

 

 

 

    I look for Trump to take a few hits but once it starts he will strike back and be the outsider alternative.

I voted today with mixed feelings.

   I went and voted today  even though I think elections are predetermined and just a illusion . A cheap way to keep the masses entertained and distracted . It fuels the fire of Race , economic Class and National origin . This in - fighting allows the Powers that be  to do as they want while we are yapping over things they have no interest in changing.

    Now some may say this is cynical but deep down most feel the same way.

  While it would be nice to have NOBODY screwing up the country there is always plenty of people that want to screw with EVERYBODY.

  I  am a lover of good fiction and think Author Clark was right .
If they want the Job they aren't qualified .
I think the best government would be one like this book wrote .

   While this is just fantasy. Is what we have now any less a fantasy of a Democratic / Republic ? Don't be fooled  by them wanting us to be a party to their rule.

   The soap box is useless . The ballot box is corrupt . The 3rd box is yet un-opened. Happy illusion day.

My back yard has a new stream across it.

   I was out in the backyard yesterday and noticed a lot of water standing. It seems my pond's little stream has changed course. We have had a LOT of rain this winter and the outlet stream from my catfish pond has silted up so the water found a easier path. Instead of the old straight back path it now wants to cut across the yard . Water never runs the way you want it to go unless you guide it . It has been 5 years since I dug the channel out so it looks like I get to add it t my TO-DO list . This time I think I will put in a 8 inch pipe and a brick lined culvert wall to  guide it from the pond.

   In the past I just shoveled it till it flowed where I wanted it to go because it was cheap . Now that I am older it is time to make it a long term fix. A pipe should do the job for 20 years at least, the cost will be 100$ or so . I hope it can wait till May or June  I don't want to have to dig a 100 foot muddy ditch in cold weather.

Good For You, Donal Trump Calls For Audit The Fed

    I am not one to discuss politics but this caught my attention .

http://davidstockmanscontracorner.com/good-for-you-donald-trump-calls-for-audit-the-fed/   

      It is worth a read regardless of who your leaning towards.

   A few weeks back I wrote I would NOT vote for R. Richard Shelby  a 6th term in the senate. But with a supreme court nomination pending and him chairman of the Senate judiciary committee  I have changed my mind.  Like the old saying "better the devil you know".

OPSEC slip by a friend is safe with me.

   Let me preface this "it wasn't Me"! This weekend I was talking to a kid I know (ok he is 33 now and owns his own business but I knew him since 16 when he was a shithead) about hauling that trailer to the scrap yard, he has a wrecker service.  He said no problem and asked where is it I told him off so and so, down a dirt road about 1/2 mile . At that he said on the right in the curve above the creek? YEA I just bought the 2 acres on the right how the hell do you know about it. He  asked if I had been past the gate  "no" he went on that so and so and state senator ____ had a member only hunting club out in the woods he and his partner were members.

    Now this is an innocent conversation by its self BUT I have known him and his business partner for years . Both are of a prepper mindset . My friend told me last year if thing go bad he was going to hit the woods he had bunkhouse a pond , good hunting and friends to ride it out with.

    Neither statement would have compromised OPSEC but by making them to one person months/years apart it told me to much. Not that I will ever mention or give them away. I never said what I had bought the 2 acres for . I already suspected a compound was beyond that gate . Now I know members include LEOs, business owners , rednecks and former military.  It seems if I make this place my BOL I will be the  "GATEKEEPER" for a large well financed MAG . I have mixed feeling on the place now . If I proceed it will be independent of the group but I would be open to a radio link if  needed.

I got repaid :) .

   Awhile back I had wrote about our granddaughter, her trailer and loan problems. Well she got her taxes back and made a bee line here and paid me for her camper/home. She also paid her Title loan off and deposited a thousand in a C D in case she needs a self funded loan during the year . I am proud of her she got back more than she expected and has used it wisely. She is debt free with  money in the bank a place to live and her trailblazer is getting tuned and aligned. Now if she can find a boyfriend that WORKS she will be on the right road.
