I'm possibly going to go out on a limb here

Lately I have been seeing Muslims trying to push Sharia law in this country, along with a few other things. The Muslim call to prayer is now being boomed out of huge speakers in parts of a number of American cities. Generally the first call comes about an hour and a half before sunrise when many of is seem to get our best sleep. The practice should be outlawed. The rest of us should not have to listen to something at that hour.

Sources tell me Mamdani's New Your city owned supermarkets won't be selling pork products. No bacon, sausage, chops or loins. None. (They also won't be selling alcohol, tobacco and lottery tickets, either but that actually makes sense. There's a health issue there so I can't slight it.)

 From time to time I run into articles of Muslims trying to get places shut down because they sell pork. One raised hell with a Texas barbecue joint and the backlash was pretty good. Business boomed.

Jews don't eat pork which is fine because I have never had a Jew tell me I can't. I remember a Jew casually handing me a ham sandwich one afternoon at work and saying he didn't eat pork. 

City owned markets should cater to everyone. They have no business depriving New Yorkers out of being able to purchase pork products. I't's complete, total unmitigated bull$hit.

The most recent issue I have read about is a number of NYC Muslims are griping that people bring the family dog into their homes. They say the dog is unclean and doesn't belong in the house.

To be fair about it, Islam preaches mercy, kindness and respect to all animals and cruelty towards them is frowned upon. The do, however, consider dogs to be unclean. They are not supposed to come into the house. 

Now that's OK in itself. If they don't want to bring a dog into their homes, fine. They don't have to.

Still, First of all who/what I bring into my home is nobody's business unless I am hiding a hatchet murderer or other serious criminal. Secondly in many American homes (including mine) pets are simply one of the family. They come and go with us. Many of us even sleep with them. I know my cat sleeps with me. I suppose if I had one the dog would share my bed. I know a Lab probably would and there's little I can do about it other than close the door and not let it in.

Over the years while visiting friends I've had a couple of dogs jump up into where I was sleeping. I just rolled over and went back to sleep. IIRC they were both Labs which seems to be par golf.

Representative Randy Fine (R. FL) recently answered the New Your outcry of of Muslims trying to run the family pooch out of inside homes. He was quoted as saying "If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one." 

Of course the Democrats are screeching for his resignation but a quick glance at his social media posts says otherwise. I also have not noticed people looking to buy or build doghouses to keep the family pooch outside yet and I doubt I will. The family dog is part of the family. The dog stays put.

It goes further than this. One of Mamdani's lieutenants has said outright that Islam will be in every American household. Of course it won't be in mine.

The list goes on and on. If you take a look at history and the world around you, Islam gets along with nobody and all of the other religions get along fairly well. In fact they don't appear go even get along with each other as Sunni and Shiite Muslims have been fighting over who should have succeed Prophet Muhammad's bloodline. The fight has gone on since 662 AD and occasionally breaks into armed conflict to this day.

Christians and Jews? Fine. Buddhists and Hindus? The seem to get along fine. It seems that every religion seems to get along fine well and at the very least tolerate each other except for Muslims because Muslims try and force themselves on everyone else. That's bull$hit. Leave everyone else alone and stop trying to force you customs on everyone else. 

There are between 50 and 60 other nations that accept Sharia law. This is not one of them. If you want Sharia law please pack your bags and leave. Put an egg in your shoe and beat it.

Personally I do not believe the religion to be compatible with western society. Muslims won't assimilate. It does not belong here in a free country because it wants to undermine our religious freedoms.

Before everyone goes off on me over the First Amendment, take a look at Don Lemon, a journalist. He is not being charged with anything that has to do with journalism. He's being charged with his personal conduct in the church which has nothing to do with the first Amendment. 

Same holds true for Muslims in the country. while the religion itself can not be challenged the conduct coming from it is fair game. If they can't assimilate them all non-citizens should be deported. As for those that are citizens, I guess we're stuck with them so long as they behave themselves.

The roof is now clear.

The storm left my eaves with huge ice dams the like of which I have never seen before. It was well over a week of almost hourly check to the inside of the eaves (in the attic space) to make sure the ice wasn't being pushed inside as happened several years ago.

Since that huge mess we have reroofed and afterwards I installed leaf guards over the gutters. I'm sure the Amish did a good job reroofing and we used several layers of ice guard. 

Everything worked out as planned when I did it years ago and it's good to have a plan work out.

All the snow and ice is gone and not a drop found its way into the house.

One of the smartest things I ever did

was to sheath my cell phone in an AI case in neon pink.

Besides being a damned heavy duty case the neon pink color has made my life a lot easier. I just have to glance around a room and there it is. It just jumps out at me.

Recently it fell out of my pocket when I slipped on some ice and when I realized it was gone I retraced my steps and lo and behold it was pretty damned close to where I fell. It just jumped up at me.

If it was in some uber tacticool color that blends in with everything I'd be screwed.

One of the things I like to do is follow the sun

on my map.

Spring begins when the sun is directly over the equator. Summer begins when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer. When the sun drops to the equator six three months later Fall gets underway and when the Sun goes over the Tropic of Capricorn winter begins and the cycle repeats itself. 

Right now as I sit here it looks like at Local Apparent Noon the sun will be pretty close to being directly over the island of Hawaii.

Local Apparent Noon (LAN) is when the sun is at it's highest point of the day and that doesn't necessarily agree with what the clock says.

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

I just read somewhere that 12% of Americans believe that Noah's Ark was married to Joan of Arc. 

While I do not know if it is true or not it certainly would not surprise me to find out it is true.

I think if I was POTUS

I'd have fun screwing around with the chow.

What do you want tonight, Mr. President?

Fish sticks and tater tots and don't forget to use miracle whip to make the tartar sauce with.

Or this: I dunno. How about something interesting for a change like a chili-mac MRE?

I think I'd keep him guessing and make things interesting for him.

Over the chaos of a SAVE brawl I was reading one wry woman stole the entire internet. I would live to have a few drinks with her because she and I certainly share the same sense of humor.

She posted "The dog ate my marriage certificate."

I had NO alcohol in my system when I did this. NONE.

Seriously.

I don't know what it is but sometimes I get away with murder. 

I have been livid over the lame excuses given to halt the SAVE act. The excuses over disenfranchised minorities really irks me because the minority bull$hit is a crock. I decided to be somewhat activist.

Anyway I was at Walmart and saw a target of opportunity. Some Black guy that looked like one of the guys. I introduced myself as a blogger with whole 101 followers that was interviewing people and I wanted to interview a real minority and he was darker than most.

Of course I got the WTF look but I appeared harmless. He asked me what I wanted to know. I asked him his job. He was a plumber.

So I asked him if he had a driver's license ID. Of course he looked at me like I was a space alien. "Of course I do! " He said. 

"Who helped you get it?"

He looked confused for a second and switched to mildly annoyed.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked. 

"Didn't you get some purple haired white woman to help you out?

He outright laughed. "Nope. I did it all by myself. In fact I even tie my own shoes. By the way, I don't like Karens either."

We parted friends.

Now it was time to find a minority woman to interview and That took a while. Yes. I was cherry picking because women tend to be shorter fused than men and many don't understand sarcasm, either.

I chose a fairly well dressed black woman. What a wonderful and polished woman she turned out to be.

I asked her what she thought about the 'disenfranchised minorities the Democrats were using to stop the passage of the SAVE Act.

In her polished English she asked me if I had ever heard the term 'jumping the broom'. I have. It's what slaves did to get married. The two of them jumped over a broomstick together. The custom goes back a lot further but the term is still used today, generally tongue in cheek by blacks. It means get married.

She gave me a smirk and explained she got her sense of humor from her father who put a broom on the floor during her wedding reception and she and her husband jumped over it for a laugh. She said there is a picture of it in her wedding album and had half a mind to bring it with her if she has to reregister to vote.

Suddenly Hattie McDaniel's voice appeared out of nowhere, straight out of Gone With the Wind. She mimed holding up a picture, rolling her head side to side. 

"I's married. Here's a pitcher ob me and my hubsin jumpin's the broom!"

Needless to say I damned near died laughing.

I've asked over a half dozen so-called 'minorities' if they'd have any problems with SAVE. A couple of them have said they'd have to dig out their certificates but had a pretty good idea of where they were. Some have said they find the democrats pandering to minorities offensive.

Trump should get on the air

and announce he's opening the border to let in 50 million illegals to pick produce.

Monday:

I can hear his speech. "It's gonna be great! We'll have pickers in here to pick our produce! We'll have so many pickers here that American won't even have to pick their own noses anymore! Imagine that! Not even having to pick or own noses or asses anymore! Let the pickers help make America great again!"

An hour later Trump has a few words with the Republicans in Congress. Support the Democrats. Give them what they want with a veto proof majority..

Tuesday: Hakeem Jeffries and Chucky Schumer start babbling demanding a tenfold increase in the ICE and Border Patrol budgets AND a $10K bounty on illegals the citizens delivered to the feds dead or alive.

Wednesday: Bill clears the House.

Thursday: Bill clears the Senate.

Friday: President Trump announces he'll sign the bill in a week to give people time to leave. 

Saturday there is a sale on ammo as every Billy-Joe-Bob and every Bubba stock up to go bounty hunting. 

There is an instant stampede and the biggest migration in human history as 20 million people leave. The roads are heavily trafficked, the airports are clogged. In some places there's an abundance of boat traffic. The police overlook people riding in the beds of trucks as the mob heads south.

Friday Trump signs the bill and its opening day on illegals.

When the entire platform of the Democratic party is to hate Trump doing something like this is a lead pipe cinch of getting things done.

I read Michelle Obama was complaining that when she lived in the White House she had to buy her own food.

If she couldn't afford food then why didn't she apply for SNAP benefits?

I swear that woman does nothing but complain.

What if her husband hadn't been elected? Where would she buy her food?

Poor baby.

She falls into the category of someone that has had her day. She's not the First Lady anymore and should step down and quietly retire to Martha's Vineyard.

Next thing you know she's going to complain about living in government housing for 8 years.

Some people's children!

Back to getting a driver's license all by one's self.

How about getting a voter ID card all by yourself?

I just saw where the SAVE act is pretty much dead in the water even though about 75+% of Americans think it's a good idea and are behind election integrity.

That tells me one simple thing. Congress is hiding something. It looks like they want to make it easy to cheat on elections. Honest elections are imperative to a free state. Sounds to me like they don't want honest elections.

The lame excuse the Democrats have been using is that minorities won't be able to get a voter ID card which has been pretty much proven to be complete and total bull$hit.

As I posted earlier, minorities can get things like driver's licenses all by themselves. They don't need government help.

The other complaint seems to be a few married women and the name change thing. That's unfounded as they have managed to get driver's licenses, Social Security accounts and other things swapped out with no real problems. The biggest gripe I have heard is that they have to find their marriage certificate. They should have that stashed somewhere. If they don't have birth and marriage certificates stored where they can get them easily then something is wrong. 

If you're too lazy or stupid not to know where your important documents are then that's on you.

Even back in my youth hitchhiking the country I had access to important documents. I had my birth certificate, DD 214 and a couple of other things in an unaddressed unsealed stamped envelope at my parent's place and all it would have taken was a phone call to have them dropped in the mail. While not immediate access, they were available.

I'm sure that anyone that is a legitimate citizen can easily get a voter ID card, assuming that in some state the person is not a felon.
