IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!

By Jeff Foxworthy:

If plastic water bottles are okay, but plastic bags are banned, — you might live in a nation (state) that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you have to get your parents' permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If, in the nation's largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If an 80-year-old woman who is confined to a wheelchair or a three-year-old girl can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is "cute" but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more "safe" according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE IN ALL UPCOMING ELECTIONS. MOST OF THE IDIOTS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY SAY ONE THING AND DO THE OPPOSITE KNOWING THAT THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED THEM IN DO NOT PAY ATTENTION

LET'S SEE IF I GOT THIS RIGHT!!!

IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER

ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOR.

IF YOU CROSS THE IRANIAN BORDER

ILLEGALLY YOU ARE DETAINED INDEFINITELY.

IF YOU CROSS THE AFGHAN BORDER

IF YOU CROSS THE VENEZUELAN BORDER

ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE BRANDED A SPY AND YOUR FATE WILL BE SEALED.

IF YOU CROSS THE CUBAN BORDER ILLEGALLY

YOU WILL BE THROWN INTO POLITICAL PRISON TO ROT.

IF YOU CROSS THE U.S. BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET ……. !!!

A JOB, A DRIVERS LICENSE,

FOOD STAMPS, CREDIT CARDS,

SUBSIDIZED RENT OR A LOAN TO BUY A HOUSE,

A LOBBYIST IN WASHINGTON

BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF PUBLIC DOCUMENTS PRINTED IN YOUR LANGUAGE

AND, IN MANY INSTANCES, YOU CAN VOTE.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HAD A FIRM GRASP ON THE SITUATION !!!

IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!! 

Christmas 2020

61º here in La Feria, TX at 11 am Friday.  Was 33º at 3 am when I visited the bathroom.  Forecast for high is 70º later in the day.

Yesterday I cut some flowers from the 3 different bushes across the street and just to the east.  Set up 3 vases in the house and one on shelf just outside kitchen window.

Had trouble with my cell phone this week and found a repair place in Harlingen.  Stopped at drive-thru of Chick-FilA after picking up the repaired phone.  These two photos were taken as we drove west back home afterward.  Sky was filled with color.

Daily hammering some 40 feet behind the house.  They deliver cement, or boards at 4:30 each morning and work until nearly dark.  With today being Christmas,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,no noise back there now!

Note the plate in this elevator that shows the maximum weight allowed...............

Yup, a taller eight!

 With no gatherings in the Rec Hall this year due to Covid-19, we are eating at home, with Darlene Winslow joining us.

Last week Neal & Carol Haar from South Dakota arrived to their permanent on the south side.  2 days ago   Ray and Nancy Koss from Michigan arrived at their permanent on 2nd south street.

Must include photo from Facebook of our Great Granddaughter Jessica.  

Merry Christmas to my few (5 to 10) readers.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( The Smith family was very proud that their ancestors had come over on the Mayflower, so they hired best-selling author Frank McCourt to look up and write a book about their family history.  Horror of horrors! They discovered that great uncle Fess had died in the electric chair for committing a murder. They were devastated. They didn't want that in the book, but they didn't want to leave him out either. McCourt said, "Leave it to me."  When the book came out, the section about Uncle Fess read like this:  "He was a man who occupied a great seat. He was attached to his position very firmly. His death came as a great shock."

=======================

Warm day in the Valley

More Drivel later - Lynn

Sunny day in the Valley

 80 degrees here in La Feria, TX at 2:40 pm on Saturday - bright sunshine.

Here are the books we now have in our library on Audible or Chirp, for listening from our phones, especially while pedaling.

Only a little less than a fourth are listened to so far.  Just keeping at it.

Harold -- hasn't been one person use the Shuffle Board Court this year.

Harold -- the 4444444444 lawyer is still on TV!

Not much excitement going on here in Kenwood.

No organized dinner for Christmas Day -- think a few small  get togethers will happen.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( My daughter and I took the long route through the neighborhood to admire the Christmas decorations. One yard contained a trove of lights, ornaments, elves, carolers, trimmings … in short, it was a mess. My daughter summed it up perfectly when she announced, “It looks like Christmas threw up.”

--------------------------- 

To avoid taking down my Christmas lights, I'm turning my house into an Italian restaurant. 

Q: What is an atheist's favorite Christmas movie? A: "Coincidence on 34th Street"

The holiday season: A deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice.

-------------------------

- Weight of Santa's sleigh loaded with one Beanie Baby for every kid on earth: 333,333 tons.
- Number of reindeer required to pull a 333,333-tons sleigh: 214,206 -- plus Rudolph.
To deliver his gifts in one night, Santa would have to make 822.6 visits per second, sleighing at 3,000 times the speed of sound.
At that speed, Santa and his reindeer would burst into flame instantaneously.
