Greetings folks.

I thought I would share with you all a thread I wrote many moons ago on another forum "cough cough" .

Some of you here may have already read it but for those who haven't...

Certain phrases and words have been changed to protect the guilty.

Enjoy :

We currently have sweltering conditions over here at the moment and the temperature was up to 35°c in the shade yesterday afternoon...

urgghhhhhhhhh... same thing today...

Usually around 09:30 pm I turn off the air conditioning and open the windows but keep the shutters closed so the cooler evening air will circulate through the house leading to a good nights sleep.

Last night Mrs R opened them and them came back downstairs to snuggle up with me on the sofa to watch that pirate "coughs" film that we have been wanting to watch for ages and for which i also profited whilst Mrs R gave my hot and sweaty feet a sensual massage!

Erm, if anyone is interested I have some cheap Maroille cheese for sale...

Around 11pm we both went upstairs and went through the usual routine of brushing our teeth, having a shower, inspecting faces for wrinkles, squeezing spots, farting etc etc when i noticed that not only were the windows open but SHOCK HORROR also the shutters....

Without any further ado i closed all the shutters, had a quick look around to check that no nasty beasties had flown or crawled in, jumped into bed, enlaced Mrs R with my strong muscular sinewy arms (ok ok... i exaggerated) and then slowly i fell asleep....


When suddenly out of the blue (or black as it was nightime) the most horrendous noise in the world came to my ear :



With a back-hander to my left ear which left me with ringing bells for a couple of seconds, i jumped out of bed and turned all the lights on to see what was flying away from me at such high speed?

And that was when i went into my full total mozzie frenzy... :



"Hummppff grummpppff wassup" groaned Mrs R groggily as i shot across the room, stubbing my little toe off the bedside cabinet and half tripping over the bedroom rug almost knocking myself sensless on the shower screen..




"Nothing's the farking matter darling, there is an effing mosquito in the effing bedroom thats all... Go back to sleep!" I riposted as i began to see the "red mist" commonly known as Mosquito kill syndrome well up before my eyes... 




BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE : 



Around the room i limped (not forgetting i had a stubbed toe)... bumping into the exercise bike that we bought 10 years ago and never used and giving my funny bone a good smack at the same time off the handle bars... (Note to oneself "put exercise bike on Ebay").

MURDER WAS ON MY MIND...

I chased the bastard thing out of the bedroom and into the bathroom where i stubbed my other little toe on the side of the bath... "whoops how unfortunate" Mrs R giggled from the bedroom...

Nothing came to mind when I heard her comment of course!  "coughs again":



Only making the red mist turn to a rather deeper crimson colour... "i think you should refrain from commenting right now dear" I responded as quietly as possible in order to not wake my son up in his adjacent bedroom (i don't know why though, as i could hear him quietly guffawing under his sheets at my pain and misfortune (i have no idea where he gets that from?)), not knowing which foot to clutch in agonizing pain as i hopped out of the bedroom and slowly down the stairs after the buzzing twat!

I mumbled many culturally rich words and curses as i grabbed a dishcloth off the wall and ran around the kitchen and dining room after the little bar steward :




Whilst i was running around stark naked in my mozzie frenzy, jumping over the sofa whacking away like a nutter as the mosquito flitted to the left and right half knocking plants and ornaments over i did not hear or notice Mrs R quietly plodding down the stairs with the can of "Catch" clutched in her hand.

"Pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh "

I heard from behind me...

"Bloody hell" i exclaimed quietly "a whole tribe of them are atacking me now"!?...

Only to turn around and see Mrs R holding the can with that pretty little smile that says everything for a woman to her man in times of great strife such as this!

DOOOOOORK!

I said nothing... i turned my head and witnessed the mosquito tumble in slow motion like a shot down Messerschmitt over the British channel until it hit the floor (not even with a sickening thud which i would have loved!) to which i promptly brought up my injured left foot and squished him right into the floor... DEAD... NADA... NO MORE... hehe i was a happy man once again...



"Ewwwweeee don't do that it's disgusting" Mrs R had to jab at me...

"No comment and thank you for your help" i grumbled with a low voice as i sulkily (pride was hurt) but valiantly limped back upstairs as a manly man does after stubbing his toes in order to save the world and threw myself under the covers...

The rest of the night was spent with my head under the sheets... leading to an extremely bad nights sleep because i was too hot and fearing for that dreaded whiny buzzing sound (Whilst Mrs R heartily snored away of course!!!) which meant that this morning i felt like this :



Ever since that dreaded day about 15 years ago when i was stuck in a lift alone with a mosquito who i chased around the lift until it landed on the mirror and i tried to kill it with one of my fingers leading to a double fracture of my index finger have i had this very deep and meaningful hate for these critters...

Well tonight stuff it, all the windows are staying closed...

Kindest respects

Quote:Trump issues executive order limiting temporary work visas

Quote: President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday that will suspend temporary visas for foreign workers until the end of 2020, angering advocates who say he is targeting immigrants for domestic political reasons.

The order applies to a variety of work visas used for many types of jobs, a move that the administration says could free up as many as 525,000 jobs to be filled by Americans.

Please just ask if you need anything.

Looks like the xPrez Obama has been called upon to press and pull all in favor of this new Democrat BS about “All-Mail” voting !!

Calling it “voter suppression”, soliciting for money is happening !! Looks like the xPrez Obama has been called upon to press and pull all in favor of this new Democrat BS about “All-Mail” voting !!

Calling it “voter suppression”, soliciting for money is happening !! 

xAG Eric Holder is neck-deep in the effort as well (who would’a figured) 

The ONLY way Democrats win in November is to cheat and lie their asses off. 

“Mail Order” voting is the way !!

It’s so NOT like regular absentee ballots that are Requested and verified.

The fraud stinks like a pig pen.

(link to story)>> Obama Soliciting Funding for Vote-by-Mail Effort

Quote:Former President Barack Obama sent out an email blast yesterday soliciting individuals to donate money to fight “voter suppression” by advocating vote-by-mail, early voting, and online voter registration.

The message was sent out by Obama on behalf of All On The Line, a campaign launched by the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) which was formed after Obama’s political organization Organizing for Action (OFA) merged with his former Attorney General Eric Holder’s National Redistricting Action Fund (NRAF).

All On The Line describes itself as “a national campaign” which aims to “restore fairness to our democracy and ensure every American has an equal say in our government.” 
The email reads as follows: [open the article for the email]

I guess this should be titled "Report From My Real World".

Just a little fill in for those that don't know, I live in a small area considered the backwoods, in a fairly close community. That does not mean we know and love each, or that we sit around the fire pit singing Kumbya. We have more than our share of jackasses, bigots, and "hold my beer" types. But we get along most of the time, and we tolerate each other, the best we can.

Crazy thing about most country folk, is that they don't have to like you to do right by you. That neighbor that killed your dog for straying onto his property, and may have not have said a single word to you in ten years, will be the first one to your rescue if you need help or are in danger. So I was not surprised by what I saw  when I took my mother to the local market today.

My mother asked me to take her to the market because it is Sunday, she is bored, and she wanted to make something different for dinner. I knew the real reason was because Sunday is her normal day for socializing, and since Sunday services are still not being held in her church, she missed being around people. I gave up a long time ago trying to tell my mother what I thought was best for her. She is as stubborn as they come. She is of sound mind. I trust her decisions to be what she wants, and what she thinks is best for her, so my only response was, "what time to you want to go"?

Let me add, before I get to he meat and potatoes of the post, that my family is one of those families where people are strangers only for a hot minute. I am terrible about picking at people. I am the oldest of ten children, it is ingrained it me. Whether I know you or not, if I am in earshot of you, I am going to speak. The simple "Hello", more times than not, will turn into a five minute conversation and it will magically spread until everyone in visual distance will be participating in the conversation, that in short order, will also have everyone laughing. My mother is the same way.

Okay so to get back on topic. I had not been out shopping in a very long time so I was impressed by how they had set the place up with people managing the carts, cleaning and handing them to you. A big sign requesting all wear a mask, very tastefully done, funny, and not offensive in any way. Direction arrows for traffic. Not bad for a country store. That is when I started paying attention to the customers.

People shopped exactly the way they always did. It didn't seem anyone was paying attention to the arrows. People were just as responsive to my silly banter, just as quick to laugh and joke, and just as friendly. I would say about 80% of the people wore mask, as requested by the sign, and no one seemed to notice those that chose not to wear them.

I saw people of different skin tones, even heard some foreign accents. No one seemed angry, offended, afraid, or unsociable. In other words I did not see anything different from any other time before COVID, other than some signs, and a lot of masks.

Why this long post to say that one simple thing? Because we are not those people that are constantly being promoted on the internet and by the media. It is because we are not the people they are forcing us to believe we are, and that behavior we find repugnant, is not normal. It is not who we are, it is not who our neighbors are.

I write this post as a reminder, maybe as a challenge, or even a request, that we reject the lies, the programming, of the virtual world, and accept and embrace our real world, not as just luck, unique, or only for the fortunate or the special, but as the true normal. There are people that are unfortunate, that have less, and are victims of the ills of our society. And yes we do have to do what we can to fix that, but we don't fix it by spreading and becoming what we already know is broken.

We will all never agree on everything, and it goes way beyond mask or no mask. The world is constantly changing and there will be challenges. What we can't lose is our humanity in the process. We can't lose our respect for each other, and we can't lose our tolerance for our differences. It has served us well throughout the ages and history shows us what happens when we are divided. We don't have to follow the Pied Piper off the cliff. We can be really good at being angry and defiant. We just have to turn our anger and defiance in the right direction.

Of course, this is just my opinion.

Democrats are all about their own selfish agendas and they're showing it more than ever before !

The other day the Senate wanted to consider a Republican Bill on police reform.

Naturally the Democrats blocked it and it can't be voted on because of Democrats !!

The City of Oakland Cal.if/or.nia decided to get rid of police in the schools !!

I guess they forgot about all the school shootings ?

And the House actually passed a Bill to make Washington DC a State !!

Many believe the Bill is actually UnConstitutional !!

Democrats used some wild tactics in 2007 and 2008 to win the Presidency, and they're using similar tactics now !!

Many people know they crashed the economy in 2007 and are doing it again right now with the C19 virus debacle !!

Brilliant. Get READY for Biden and Democrats !!

Trump has rattled the entire .N.W.O..Global//American.Democrat alliance // complex. So badly, they'll kill to get back the power they've lost !! 

Here's an article about some crazy things happening......

Quote:Three events last week showed that Democrats do not want a mere transfer of power if they win the November election: they intend to revolutionize our entire system of government.

The first happened Wednesday, when Democrats blocked the Senate from considering a bill on police reform by Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC).

Scott, who is African American, has been working on the issue for years. He had the full support of the rest of the Republican caucus. He also agreed to consider whatever amendments Democrats offered.

They still used the filibuster to block the bill from even being debated.

The episode showed that Democrats do not actually care about police reform. Nor do they want to unite the nation behind any sort of bipartisan compromise. They simply want to use the issue in the elections, which they hope will give them the House, the Senate, and the presidency. Then they can get rid of the filibuster and pass whatever they want.

Greetings, fellow Rogueteers!

I've come across an interesting UFO-related video on youtube which includes (and relates to) recorded telephone conversations between members of Law Enforcement and the National Weather Service radar operators around Lake Michigan in 1994...

Quote:On March 8th, 1994, civilians in western Michigan on the edge of Lake Michigan called 911 en masse about strange lights in the sky, described as mostly cylindrical, moving up and down in altitude, and having a vertical row of lights on them. They appeared to be coordinated, as one caller described them as moving in a circle....
