The Native Iowan

Where are we… what’s happening, where we going, where we been…

Today is Thursday, my side of the planet. Almost 9am. A steady, even rain falling. Flora and fauna singing. A soft sigh can be heard from the Land. My dogs are comfortably curled up in their kennels. My hands are healing nicely.

Weather man predicts more and more and more of the same.

Dumped this out yesterday, before the rains settled in:

So I sit. Have a couple Magpies on the verandah singing their songs. Have at least 3 stags on the property bellowing their prowess. There are no less than 20 deer near the house. A stag on the hill behind us, a stag on the hill to the north, a stag in the yard. Does n fauns being gathered into herds. Soon the antler clashing shall begin. Its a circle of life sorta thing…

So I sit. Wrapped in a granny blanket. Watching and reading.

I love the fact that the ever principled folks that love their country and are good patriotic citizens and identify as “Democrats” are once again resorting to vandalism and terrorism. Sure, makes perfect sense… we dont get our way, we dont like the situation, we blame Elon Musk, attack anyone in a Tesla. Attack Tesla dealerships, attack anything Tesla. Sure, makes sense to me. Very mature, very sensible policy… alienate all those faithful DNC posers who drive a Tesla, who bought a Tesla as a sign of virtue, as a symbol of modern, wise, real, electric DNC support… sure, makes sense to me…

NOT!

Just like the idea, the ideal of masculinity in the DNC perverted world… Masculinity is TOXIC! cant have masculinity. Nope, not allowed. So we frame guys like Tampon Tim from MN as a tough guy, as an example of modern masculinity. Or Bonk the Babysitter Doug? A fine, prime, modern example of a masculine male. Exclude, remove, reject, eject all masculinity from the Party. Chase the masculine males out of the DNC. Redefine masculinity so a chick-with-a-dick is the Man of the Year. Or was it woman of the year?

I dont get it. The DNC either has changed beyond any recognition, OR, I was terribly fooled and misled and wrong for much of my young life when I claimed to be Democrat. Luckily, between 1970 and 1980 I was exposed to behind the scenes conning and corruption in politics generally, and in the DNC specifically, and figured out way back then that the DNC was not “my party”, not my friend. Of course, way back then, I viewed the RNC as corrupt and fat and despicable, which meant I didn’t have a political party.

The beginnings of my centrist position?

But I dont get it at all… “Take down Musk” has been repeated and bleated. But I dont get it… like crowing about a “made in America” product you want to see destroyed. Lets check a few facts…

Gigafactory Texas, Tesla’s headquarters, just outside of Austin, Texas
Total assets	US$122.1 billion (2024)
Total equity	US$72.9 billion (2024)
Owner	Elon Musk (13%)
Number of employees	125,665 (2024)

Golly geee… sure, once again makes perfect sense as a political strategy… fight to destroy the livelihood of 125thousand folks. Great way to get them to vote for you next time.

Also noting that Musk only owns 13% of the enterprise.

What else does Musk own… Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter), Neuralink, xAI and The Boring Company, 

Do the folks at the DNC strategic (tragic) head quarters really think this is a good plan? Or is it like calling Trump a nazi? Do it, do it, do it, do it and do it more… gotta work eventually???? !!!

I heard a discussion the other day about “Mental Illness” and TDS, and the status of emotion and angst and instability in the USA’s political scene… in the DNC’s base… The question is this: should we demean the real mental illness on the streets by granting unruly and misled children the status of being mentally ill? The excuse of being Mentally Ill?

There is no doubt that mental Illness is an issue. But are these often pandered and pampered left wing loonies that toss fire bombs or attack folks in MAGA hats, are they mentally ill or just fucking stoopid? Misled, stoopid, duped, fooled, and used. And criminal. They are acting in a criminal fashion. You try to snatch my red hat and I’ll stand my ground. I’ll make you think twice about your actions, as you nurse a broken arm for a month or two…

I can stand in your space, get in your face, attempt to assault you, attempt to steal your hat, chase you, threaten you… and its OK… On what planet?

We have the likes of MsCrocket from TX who openly, verbally advocates violence. Chucky the Jew Schumer, tells us they have people they “send out” to disrupt local discussions, local town halls. He is describing paid provocateurs that travel, say, to Iowa, to yell and disrupt and confuse. They pose as members of the community, they bring the press, and terrorise and threaten the locals.

Again, another good example of how to get folks to support your agenda.

NOT!

My coffee is done. Time to do some house keeping. Gracie has flown off for a tour of Greece. I’m on my own for a while.

Life is good.
