September 2021

One last post to wrap the month of September up. Quite a day for slinging bullshit.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned lawmakers Tuesday that the federal government could run short of cash to pay its bills by Oct. 18 unless Congress acts quickly to increase the government's borrowing authority.

She warned that Social Security benefits, child tax credits and paychecks for the military could all be jeopardized if the federal government is unable to borrow more money.

However, according to Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works, Social Security is not part of the government's general operating fund. Social Security is sui generis, a legal term which means it is on it's own, according to Altman.

"My reading of the law is that Social Security will not be affected and shouldn't be affected," she said.

So, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is lying to us or she doesn't understand how Social Security is funded. I lean towards the former.

In other news, top generals told lawmakers under oath on Tuesday that they advised President Joe Biden early this year to keep several thousand troops in Afghanistan -- directly contradicting the president's comments in August that no one warned him not to withdraw troops from the country.

McKenzie's remarks directly contradict Biden's comments in an Aug. 19 interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, in which he said that "no one" that he "can recall" advised him to keep a force of about 2,500 troops in Afghanistan.

During the interview, Stephanopoulos asked Biden point blank: "So no one told -- your military advisers did not tell you, No, we should just keep 2,500 troops. It's been a stable situation for the last several years. We can do that. We can continue to do that?"

Biden answered: "No. No one said that to me that I can recall." Papa Joe is either lying or he is senile. I am leaning towards both scenarios.

On a side note, inflation is rearing it's ugly head. If I had not gone back to the casino, I would be in real danger of becoming homeless. People have been reluctant to return to work. I suspect that when push comes to shove, they will be forced to make the same choice I did. September was a great month for me financially. It was a pain in the ass and I dread the long months that lay ahead before I can walk away from the corporate rat race once and for all. I can not walk away without doing it right. I failed to do so the first time around. I shot a toe off, but I will live. I got lucky.

R. Kelly convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking by a federal jury in New York

"Today's guilty verdict forever brands R. Kelly as a predator, who used his fame and fortune to prey on the young, the vulnerable and the voiceless for his own sexual gratification," said Jacquelyn Kasulis, acting US attorney from the Eastern District of New York.

R. Kelly is "a predator who used his inner circle to ensnare underage girls and young men and women for decades, in a sordid web of sex abuse, exploitation and humiliation," Kasulis added.

Taliban says strict punishment and executions will return to Afghanistan

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — One of the founders of the Taliban and the chief enforcer of its harsh interpretation of Islamic law when they last ruled Afghanistan said the hard-line movement will once again carry out executions and amputations of hands, though perhaps not in public.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Mullah Nooruddin Turabi dismissed outrage over the Taliban's executions in the past, which sometimes took place in front of crowds at a stadium, and he warned the world against interfering with Afghanistan's new rulers

"Everyone criticized us for the punishments in the stadium, but we have never said anything about their laws and their punishments," Turabi told The Associated Press, speaking in Kabul. "No one will tell us what our laws should be. We will follow Islam and we will make our laws on the Quran."

The Biden Administration said they were going to engage the Taliban in open dialogue to prevent this sort of thing. Papa Joe was going to educate these barbarians and hold their hands, leading them into the 21st century. He was going to show them the benefits of respecting women, the LGBTQ community, and how democracy will uplift the people of Afghanistan. Speaking of Afghanistan, how is that evacuation program going to get American citizens left behind? There seems to be a news blackout on this. The same people telling Joe Biden who he can talk to must be telling the news media what they can say too. The same people must be telling the Vice President to keep her mouth shut, and telling the media not to show her face on the television set. You think the New World Order is a conspiracy theory? If China decided to attack American soil, all they have to do is take over Mexico and march straight into Texas. No one is going to stop them. If Joe Biden is President, his response would be to "have a dialogue" with them. Wouldn't that be special?

Are you afraid yet? You should be.

I go to bed at night and dream of a better life. I am working at the casino to make enough money to pay off my credit card debt. I am invested in Cardano (ADA) and will HODL this time. I let a million dollar opportunity slip through my fingers and I will be damned if I make the same mistake twice. I will not make a million dollars this time around, but I can make $30,000. This is my exit money from the insanity of the present world I am living in. I know I can't crawl into a hole and pretend the skies are filled with sunshine and rainbows, but I can walk away from working full time running with the rest of the corporate rats. I plan on fixing up a van to live in, drive West, and live out the rest of my life in peace, if this is possible. I can make it possible. The road ahead is filled with trepidation and emotional pain. I will bear this because the life I will live in the future I foresee is better than the one I am living now.

The world is a cesspool. If I can accomplish anything for myself, it is to walk away from it; the politics, the lies, the social media brainwashing campaign, and all the rest of the shit that stinks to high heaven. I pray I have enough time left in these old bones to make this dream a reality. One thing I must do now is stay clear of anything that puts stress on me in any way, shape, or form. I will have to deal with the stress of working for a living for now. However, it is time to go into full blown loner mode. At work I need to run silent and run deep. On my off days, I have to live a private life. I need to save money quickly and pile it up as high as possible. My body and mind need exercise. If I physically or mentally go to hell in the process of getting the money I need to pay for the life I want to live, then it will be a waste of time. I have wasted enough time and I have failed to make my life better. I should have done this along time ago.

Here is a Ron Jeremy update. I am surprised the press has had little mention of him these past couple months. Little coverage of R. Kelly's trial is also the norm. I guess the metrics aren't high enough to merit any air time.

I am doing little these days except working. I have not been doing the things I need to do for myself on a personal level. I will get to it. I am in for 2038 Cadano's. I will HOLD for one year. This is my Recreational Vehicle money. I will hop into it and drive off into the sunset. Estimated departure is Spring 2023.

*Note

I am seeing coverage of the R. Kelly trial on the television show Court TV Live. The show seems to be unbiased. They do put guest lawyers on the show to analyze testimony and give their opinions on what they think outcomes of trials might be. From what I am seeing about R. Kelly, he is a sick man who needs to be kept far away from society. He is a predator. He may or may not be in control of his actions. I don't think he is. This is my opinion. I thnk the same thing about Ron Jeremy. I am looking forward to his trial and watching it on this show.

The Taliban Is Holding Americans 'Hostage for Demands' in Northern Afghanistan, Says Republican Lawmaker

That didn't take long. But this is old news. Biden is on top of the things that really matter like global warmiming, the plight of women, and LGBTQ rights. Afghani women aren't included in his concern. The Taliban told him that women in Afghanistan under their rule were going to be treated like queens. Real queens. Not like the faggot fairies hiding in closets. The perverts to Islam will get corn-holed first and killed later. Just another day under the watchful eye and loving care of Papa Joe Biden

WASHINGTON, Aug 31 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden and Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani spoke by phone July 23. Here are excerpts from that call, based on a transcript and recording reviewed by Reuters:

BIDEN: Mr. President. Joe Biden.

GHANI: Of course, Mr. President, such a pleasure to hear your voice.

BIDEN: You know, I am a moment late. But I mean it sincerely. Hey look, I want to make it clear that I am not a military man any more than you are, but I have been meeting with our Pentagon folks, and our national security people, as you have with ours and yours, and as you know and I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things aren't going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban.

And there's a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture. ...

BIDEN: If you empower Bismillah [Defense Minister Bismillah Khan Mohammadi] to execute a strategy focused on key parts of the population centers, and I'm not a military guy, so I'm not telling you what that plan should precisely look like ...

The media is focused on the idea that Joe Biden asked then Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani to lie about the true military situation in his country. What else is new? The Biden Administration is a lie built on a foundation of lies that go back as far as Papa Joe has been in public office. I am not hearing anything on the television set about Biden telling Ghani. "I'm not a military guy ..." What do you mean you aren't a military guy? You are Commander in Chief of the armed forces of the United States! This explains the debacle in Kabul and why Americans were left behind. Papa Joe doesn't understand anything of a military nature. He isn't a military guy. What a fucking joke this Biden Adminstration has turned out to be.

On a positive note, I got my first paycheck deposited to my bank account. Working full time does have it's advantage. I am loading up on three crypto's. I will not make a million dollars. That opportunity was squandered. I can make $50,000, maybe. $25,000 per $5,000 invetsed is possible. By this time next year, I will not have to think about being poor again. I came close to going off the deep end. I can't let this happen.

China's media cracks down on 'effeminate' styles

Repent! The end is near.

My first casino check will be deposited into my bank account tomorrow. It feels good. I do not know my hourly rate of pay. I didn't ask when I got the green light to come back. That may sound ludicrous, but in the casino business it really does't add up to much. Table game dealers generally make the federal minimum wage and even less. The big money is from the tokes. Tokes is slang for the tips players hand us or bets that they make for us that we have to win to collect. If they win, we win. It is a hard way to make a living but it does pan out. I can not know specifically what my hourly rate of pay is from week to week, but the money has been phenomenal. The dealers are making BANK compared to what I was earning two years ago. I can only hope that the good times keep rolling. This is the only scenario that will get me out of this financial black hole I have dug myself. If the money train steams along on pace, It will take me a few months to get back on solid ground. Life is good.

Stories are coming out of Afghanistan that Taliban soldiers are going door to door hunting down those Afghani's who worked for the United States. Gunfire is being heard. It is suspected that executions are being conducted. Is Papa Joe concerned? I don't think he is. I saw his FEMA conference the other day. He was so confused he could hardly speak. I am not exaggerating.

I honestly believe he is unable to even comprehend that human beings are being slaughtered like animals right under his nose. He left Americans behind. He looked into the television cameras and told America that the Taliban would guarantee their safety. He told America that the Taliban would make sure all Afghani's who worked for the U.S. and wanted to leave the country would be allowed to do so. It isn't happening. American hostages will be taken. Terrorist organizations will make demands for their return and Joe Biden will do what he is told to do. He needs to be told what he is supposed to be doing. This is all he can comprehend. His Communication Team is scripting everything he says. He is told what reporters he can speak to. He told a reporter at the FEMA meeting that "he was told not to answer any questions concerning Afghanistan." Told by who? His Communication Team or the Taliban? Joe Biden is taking his marching orders from both.
