Month: April 2022

Dear Speedy. You didn’t spend your entire 15 years with us, you only spent three. They were three fun filled years! When we brought you home, you yowled all the way and no amount of to talking to you was going to change it!! Once out of your transport, you inspected the house, top to bottom. We found you in the bathroom sink and once out you preceded to walk out to the biggest room you could find and flopped on the floor. Speedy your flop on the floor was complete with a total exhale of air as if you were home!!

Now obviously we all had to get to know each other, which the wife and I let you, Speedy, be you. We fit ourselves in your wants and needs. You did not like to be picked up, we did anyway, your response, push off with your front paws and turn your head away. Speedy, you would give us 15 to 20 seconds of pick up time! You liked to investigate all of the closets in the house and would even sneak into an open one while we weren’t looking. We would search for you, no noise or commotion from you, and you would walk out as if nothing happened! I don’t think there was a box you didn’t like! We figured you fit in well with us when we found you in an empty case of beer!

There were two rooms in the house you did not care for, upstairs, just a few appearances and the front living room, smelled of the dogs I suppose. Speedy you figured out our schedule, up at 1am for breakfast. We would see your little black and white face looking up the stairs!! As far as getting home random is the name of our game but typically 3 pm. As we would find out, 2pm you are in one of the chairs looking at the door. At 2:15 on the floor in front of the chair looking at the door. 2:30 pm on the verge of the dining room looking at the door. 2:45 pm half way to the front door! Where ever we would find you, Samantha would walk up to the front door and tap on the window and say ‘kitty”! Where ever you were you would come running!

Speedy we never knew if you had ever been outside, you were curious. As we would do our backyard chores we would see your little face looking out of the storm door. We decided to give you a shot and leave the storm door open. One step at a time over the course of a month you would travel down the stairs to the ground before you made the first cautious steps on the rock ground. As you got more comfortable we would find you in the corn patch laying down. I guess since it was tall you felt safe. Your favorite spot was on the mini deck that the hot tub sits on. Your would lay there if you were relaxing and when you were ready to come in, you would be sitting looking at the back door. Our back yard being fenced in gave you the one acre that the vet said all cats ingrained think they have. Speedy you would patrol your back yard and dog like you would walk the fence line. I knew you were happy being outside while on patrol you would wander in and out of my legs, look up at me and meow!! Like a dog Samantha could call your name if you were outside and you would come running. One time you came running went to leap on the mini deck and missed doing a 360 spinning out of control complete with a crash landing. I witnessed this first hand as was laughing hysterically. As you walked in, you looked up at me with a disgusted look on your face and kept walking!

A cat with seven confirmed kills under your belt while you were with us is pretty impressive. Your first in December 2019. We brought in the Christmas tree, little did we know we brought a mouse in with us. Kind of in true Hollywood style, the mouse in the frame of the bathroom, back lit by the bathroom light against the dark living room. Samantha and I looked at each other and said oh, shit!! Little did we know that stone cold killer kitty cat Speedy was on the case!! The next afternoon we found one dead mouse in the open area of the kitchen! We thanked you for the gift and showered you with praise and love!! Your six other kills were moles from the back yard. It was funny watching you hunt, most of it sitting and waiting. I got to see one of the mole snatches first hand. Think big cat on the hunt springing into action, complete with a mouth full of grass! Samantha had a picture of you dropping off your gift in front of me looking up a me, good kitty cat!!

Speedy you had me trained in a couple of weeks. I knew how you liked your wet food, with a little water. On Sundays, even if Samantha had just fed you, you would meow at me to go to the kitchen to fix your food like you wanted it! Speedy your three absolute addicted to things were, temptations, hook a kitty cat up now please! Tuna out of a can, one minute you were not there and suddenly there you were, staring, give me the tuna!! The third of all things was chocolate moonshine!! The first time you had it you walked up to the coffee table smelled my shot glass, dipped your paw into the moonshine and cleaned off your paw! From there on out you would damn near beg to have chocolate moonshine. I have pictures of you leaning over Samantha’s shoulder wanting moonshine!!

You were a cat with a schedule. Sunday mornings an hour laying on Samantha’s feet. 10:30 am some time in your “office” the bathroom closet. Afternoons in your chair that you usurped from Samantha. It became the running joke in the family. 5:30 to 6:00 pm you would wander in and out of the kitchen. Samantha would say Speed wants us in the living room! This was Speedy time even though it was kind of weird. Samantha would sit on the floor and you would drop just out of reach! Samantha would scooch so she could pet you and give you love. We had our bedtime game. You would settle close to my feet, I would pet you and then you would attack me scratching and kicking, complete with the love bites! In a low voice ow, Speedy why are you attacking me, I am your friend! Going upstairs to bed had it’s own game. I would go to the bathroom and you would sit between the living room and dining room. I would come out and ask you to come to bed, go to pet you and you would take a couple steps away from me. Round two, same result!! We would both go our separate ways!

Speedy in closing we wished we could have had more time with you. The tumor in your bladder was just too big. The vet was going to give you at most two months to live and they would have been miserable. We could already tell you felt bad about missing the litter box before we knew of the tumor. You were an awesome cat! The hole in our hearts you left with your passing was immense, not because of loss or longing. It was as big as it was because of love and companionship. Your personality shined during your three years with us and that is what we hold onto as the days pass since you left us.

Biden said he would nominate a black woman to the high court, which he did. We just observed the nomination and conformation of Judge Jackson to the Supreme Court. During the conformation process we learned many things that showed us where the Democrats stand.

Two years ago Mitt Romney voted against her being a circuit court judge, as a Supreme Court nominee Senator Romney voted for Judge Jackson. Tell me what changed in her cases presided over that changed Mittens’ mind? Obviously we have RINO’s Senators Cheney and Murkowski that voted for Judge Jackson. No shocker all of the Democrats voted in favor of Judge Jackson.

Two key things came from these hearings. Point number one. Judge Jackson was asked to define a woman. After some, I don’t know what you mean. Some hemming and hawing lead to this response, I don’t know, I’m not a biologist! Point number two, Ted Cruz hammered her on her record on pedophile and child abuse cases as being very lax. Senator Cruz had a chart complete with the law requirements for said charge. What the prosecution was asking for said charge and finally what Judge Jackson decreed for the defendant. In all cases Judge Jackson’s decreed in the case fell way short of the basic law requirements. Judge Jackson even has a story where she feels bad for pedophiles and sees them as being persecuted by the rest of the population.

Here is my take. About five or six years ago I came across and article that talked about how the left was going to try and bring pedophilia mainstream and stop stigmatizing those that are pedophiles. What else is going on right now, the anti grooming bill in Florida, know by the leftists as don’t say gay bill. NAMBLA is real, what is it? North American Man Boy Lovers Association. I heard about it on a radio show about 15 years ago. Well guess what it’s in our face now and they have a champion in a Supreme Court Justice. The Democrats and their supporters just all said in one united voice we support pedophilia and child sexualization. This is absolutely disgusting. There is nothing in this world that can convince me that this behavior is normal and that we need to accept it. I sent a letter to my Democrat Senator stating my view. Now we know where they stand on this, it should be an easy fix come November. Don’t allow the leftists any room to normalize this behavior!

So the title is in reference to WWII bomber pilots when they would drop their bombs. The media and talking heads these days are their loudest when anyone starts talking about anything that goes against the Left’s agenda. The name calling ensues, racist, misogynist homophobe….. you get the point.

The latest dropping bombs on the target. Florida bill 1557 the so called don’t say gay bill. The left is carrying on with reckless abandon how it is anti LGBT, can you say shrapnel!! I am just going to do some copy and paste here. CNN’s Brandon Tensley looked at this issue in his Race Deconstructed newsletter. He talked to the UC Berkeley philosopher and gender theorist Judith Butler about how with both the “Parental Rights” and “Individual Freedom” bills, Republicans are tapping into parents fears. “There’s a fantasy going on that children are being indoctrinated,” Butler told CNN. “Parents and communities want to exercise forms of censorship to stop their children from knowing about how the world is being organized and how different people are living their lives.”

Twenty years ago would you have seen a drag queen in a library telling stories to kids? I have been to a couple of drag shows, I was an adult! The news is full of how the world is against LGBT folks. They are not celebrated or embraced, the world tries to humiliate and demean them which could cause self harm or possibly suicide. What group or bunch of people in this world aren’t persecuted, demeaned or bullied?

Here is my take. Point one. I read bill 1557 end to end, it is seven pages!! Anyone could have read this in two minutes. Did anyone, I think not. The bill protects students from indoctrination. I don’t care that you are gay, I don’t care if you are transgender and I don’t care if you are just a spirit, good for you. When did Caitlin Jenner figure out that she wanted to be a woman, as an adult. What good decisions have anyone of us made as a kid that turned out to be the best thing we ever did? I collected sponges at one point, did that make me a sponge? A month or two later I was collecting rocks, did it make me an anthropologist, no. When did I fully figure out who I was, I was in my mid thirties!! Now I understand we are not all the same, but what five year old needs to hear about trans and gay folks, none of them. Those five year old’s need to be playing in the mud and learning how to count, not how I feel better identifying as a woman. Being a kid, just a kid is hard enough without being told two men together touching each other’s penis is OK.

Teachers, lobbyists and anti children people please just read the bill. Nowhere in the bill does it say, don’t say gay. Obviously you don’t have the intelligence to do your own research, you are so willing to throw yourself on a grenade for your cause you could care less for the education of the kids. My parent teacher days consisted of here is what the kids are going to learn, not I am gay and married and I support all trans folks. Your business is your business. When any kid is in school it is about education not indoctrination
