I think it depends on who's telling the story.
I know you guys have a lot of questions and concerns.
I think for now though it's important to say that for the most part we'll all be on the same page politically.
I have lots of likes and dislikes as do you.
Without getting into a long drawn out conversation I'll just come right out and say one of the things that piss me off more than anything is weak ass people.
I'm usually blunt and straight forward when dealing with people, especially those I oppose.
I thought maybe this video would help explain my philosophy in life.
Maybe I am an asshole.
Ben
Ok, Ben.
ReplyDeleteYou come across as a no holds barred kind of person. That's good.
As to "weak assed" people.... you won't find any here.
Rikki
Come and Take it?
ReplyDeleteOK, you might fit in.
Just be sure to keep gadsden colors up and flying. As a tribute to Kevin and his departure, I'd like to see that it never comes down.
Ever.
Guess in the coming days, I need to stretch my legs out around here. Put up some thoughts and frustrations.
See ya around.
Welcome Ben. Let's push this train forward. All aboard!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA couple weeks back I wrote a letter to President Trump. Basically I told him I supported him and had his back 100%, blah, blah, blah. Guess What? My husband told me I had a letter from The White House! Yep, I got a reply to my letter signed by President Trump. Now, I know he didn't write the letter, but it was nice to know that my letter was acknowledged. And the letter outlined what I wrote so "someone" read my letter. LOL
Sarge, you crack me up. You'll get used to the screen in due time. LOL
ReplyDeleteLol Rose It just looks a like commie to me, Just saying.... Hope you and yours are all well.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why, but this song from way back, played on the radio waves quite steadily yesteryears ago came into my thoughts. Sometimes I make sense, sometimes I don't but I thought I'd share this with y'all this morning.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeT5otk2R1g
And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you
the
right?"
"To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in"
"If God was here he'd tell you to your face, Man, you're some kinda sinner"
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?
You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
Ugh!
[Lead Guitar]
And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a
penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine."
Wooo!
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Sign
Sign, sign
Just saw this on fb.... hoping some good comes out of this.

Scott Circuit Judge grants statewide temporary restraining order against Gov. Beshear
By: Web StaffPosted at 1:58 PM, Jul 09, 2020 and last updated 2:17 PM, Jul 09, 2020
(LEX 18) — Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced on Thursday that a Scott Circuit Judge ordered Gov. Andy Beshear to cease issuing or enforcing executive orders related to COVID-19 unless the orders meet specific criteria for an emergency as outlined by state law. The Judge stated that, in order to issue and enforce executive orders related to COVID-19, the Governor must specify the state of emergency that requires the executive order, the location of the emergency, and the name of the local emergency management agency that has determined that the emergency is beyond its capabilities.
“The Governor cannot issue broad, arbitrary executive orders apart from the requirements of state law, and the Judge agreed by today issuing a statewide temporary restraining order,” said Attorney General Cameron. “This is a clear win for the rule of law and will help Kentucky families and businesses across the Commonwealth who have suffered and continue to suffer financial losses and economic hardship because of the Governor’s executive orders.”

Recent Stories from lex18.com
Attorney General Cameron joined the lawsuit last week, which challenges Gov. Beshear’s use of executive power during the COVID-19 pandemic and was filed by Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles and Evans Orchard and Cider Mill, LLC, an agritourism business in Georgetown. Evans Orchard instituted new public health guidelines and procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic in compliance with Governor Beshear’s executive orders, including requiring employees to wear masks, sanitation protocols for the facility, and reduced capacity to comply with social distancing. In one instance, Evans Orchard was told by the local health department that they could not allow more than 10 individuals at a time into the business’s 96,000 square foot attraction.
The temporary restraining order issued by the Judge today also stops the enforcement of Gov. Beshear's executive orders as they apply to Kentucky’s 548 agritourism businesses.
Gov. Beshear is expected to give an update on new requirements in the state of Kentucky on Thursday at 4 pm.

Well, here we are. Glad to have you on board Ben. Anything that keeps the blog alive, and Kevin's hard work going.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, since my name is on the blog as well, I thought I would let you know my story. I've been commenting on Kevin's blogs since 2007 when the Marxist from Kenya was running. I signed on to help out with the administration and post a few blogs.
We moved to California a year or so ago. My daughter and five year old grandson live here. So I retired from the Kansas Highway Patrol, the finance division, not a Trooper, and we moved here.
I'm living in the commie dream. Commie governor, commie legislature. I live up in the mountains, in the east tip of the Sierras. It's in Kern county and it's Trump country all the way. So it's a little pocket of sanity in an otherwise crazy commie state.
So I guess we'll see how it goes. I hope everybody continues to post comments, that's the meat on the bone for this blog. Nothing to fear. I know I'm back full tilt kicking commie's asses and raising hell.
My one suggestion would be to keep the comments on moderation. If you open it up to posts without seeing them, the troll that caused all this will be back. He's a sad, pathetic little hate filled commie devoted to silencing anybody who disagrees with himself. But that's what all commies do.
So welcome. You got a bunch of ready made friends here. This is a great group. And hopefully as the election gets closer, we'll grow some. That would be great.
Funny, Sarge.
ReplyDeleteSSAH, you wrote.

Was Blue (aka butt doctor,the current government employee) involved with this?
A friend posted this on my fb page and I thought it was funny.
ReplyDeleteAnyone coming to Texas to start some crap, let me tell y'all something, we shoot feral hogs ..from moving helicopters..for fun.
Looks like Topeka is in the path of some bad weather. Hunker down and please be safe.
ReplyDeleteOkay whats up bunker people? Lets get moving... Hear Me don't hold it in.
ReplyDeleteRick's Mom is back in the hospital, another seizure. She was close to congestive heart failure, her heart is functioning at 20%. She'll be in the hospital at least through the weekend, from there.... unknown.
ReplyDeleteThey have her on medication to help her get rid of the excess fluid around her heart, anti seizure medication.... that's all we know for now.
Sorry to hear that Rikki, prayers is all we can do, Hang in there Rick and Rikki,
ReplyDeleteThat's a tough one Rikki. All you can do is be there for her...
ReplyDeleteEvidently I'm set up to approve or delete incoming comments.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how many trolls you guys were dealing with but I know first hand at least two of them are all torn up about being blocked...
Who you going to call when they come for you? TROLL BVUSTERS
Deletehee hee :)
Deletethank you Ben & Sarge. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeletethe trolls are pissed that they can no longer post on the cap journal - troll activity picked up when that happened. now that the trolls can't post here either....they have no where to go to peddle their pbs... (political bull shit).
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the news about Rick's mother. I'll keep y'all in my prayers.
ReplyDeletethank you Rose (((hugs)))
DeleteA guy named Ian something or another has left a couple comments which I rejected.
ReplyDeleteBoth times he started out okay but ended up trashing Kansas and Topeka in particular.
Not sure about you guys but I'll take Kansas over any of the shithole democrat run cities.
If you want me to let his comments stand all you gotta do is say so ..
Ian is the Butt doctor. He gets light headed from all the butt fumes and then he comes over here for fresh air. To be honest, he is just jealous and wishes he was back in Topeka. Truth be known, everyone cheered when he left Topeka and we don't want him back. He doesn't bother me one way or another if scratches out a word or two on this blog. He is like an abused spouse who continues to come back for more punishment again and again. I feel somewhat sorry for the guy. He lacks self esteem and I have come to realize he shows up when he needs attention. It can be fun watching him get schooled.
ReplyDeleteIan is one of the worst out there and Miscreant is right there with him, Just let them keep knocking Ben but don't let them in. Just saying....
ReplyDeleteRose Lol, trouble is you are not the school teacher most of the time.
ReplyDeleteAnd good morning to you all, It is about nap time for me.
I would vote to keep Ian out.
ReplyDeleteNew study reveals surge in Wuhan Virus due to protests/riots and proximity to Southern Border. My response would be, "No shit, Sherlock." It took a study to reach this conclusion.
Hollywood and the rest of the left has been going crazy since Friday. They are apoplectic over the Roger Stone commutation. Not a single one of these whining, privileged, morons had even a single word when President Obama commuted and pardoned more individuals than any previous President. He pardoned more traitors and scumbags than the Clintons. Guess Obama and Clinton were a better judge of human character.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to my last comment.
Never mind I found my previous comment.
ReplyDeleteWell finialy the shed my son and I bought back in April is going to be built Tuesday,
ReplyDeleteBen, Is Kevin still going to comment now and than??? Just wondering.
With the possible exception of President Lincoln no Presidents combined granted more commutations/amnesty than Obama.
ReplyDeleteWell Sir it's hard to say. I think eventually he probably will but not until he's confident the investigations into his online activities are behind him...
ReplyDeleteDo you have any idea how much it must suck being one of those Hollywood celebrities?
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine being so screwed up in the head that I'd wake up every morning of my life in a blind rage.
Don't let this get out but I'm secretly hoping for mass suicides when Trump is reelected in November...
Mass immigration would work and might be a little less drastic.
ReplyDeleteJust for you information Ben the Those commie rat bastard That you mentioned above caused all this crap with Kevin, I got his e-mail and phone if I need to talk to him, he is a damn good friend, gotta look out for your friends. Thanks for the reply...
ReplyDeleteMaybe mass deportation. I'd volunteer to head up that program.
ReplyDeleteSo you hate my country? Then get the F### out.
Here's your one way ticket to Iran. Don't worry about your stuff it's been confiscated.
Ya but I would love to hear all those SPLATS,,Right over all the yellow paint on the streets.
ReplyDeleteSarge, You are right, I didn't school him as much as I wanted to. Geez, when I was teaching the kids I taught were much better behaved than old Butt doctor. And I didn't allow tattling.
ReplyDeleteas far as Ian Williams, and the other trolls....they wanted real names but they log in under fake names. It's just them being hypocrites.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Ian's complaints about Topeka and Kansas in general, truck drivers, and us poor under-advantaged souls who live here.... they can just stick their nonsense where the sun don't shine.
Ian also went as far (several blogs ago) as saying that Western Kansas didn't need roads because they weren't as populated. I called him on the carpet for that one. To not give the farmers & ranchers access to their fields, to their livestock, etc., and selling their grains, and their livestock...etc. was just plain wrong.
They thought they were debating, but they were only peddling their P.B.S. (political bull shit). They would also break the rules of protocol for debate with their slanderous remarks, etc.
I'm glad that they can no longer post on here. They can get their croakings of crapola and go swim in the dumpster for all I care.
Your trolls have got you on their friend list. They thgink they can over whelm you with their plea's. Ian. AKA [Dimm Witt In D C] as he use to call him self. He can be outed like miscreat was but I am not really interested in him that much as miscreat, who talked his BS but couldn't back it up. He lied and tried his best to put several on here out.
ReplyDeleteIAN hates Ks and Topeka so much but he still thinks he can run Kevin's blog from DC.
I and a couple of our bunker buddies are TROLL BUSTERS. We can take a Troll down in three swipes.
So NO I dont have any use for those two for sure. If you need more info just ask. I am sure there will be some more of those types coming by.
And if you need any more info about me and my kind just ask around. Or you can do like I told the last Troll on here.
Call down to the POPO station and ask for my partner in the K-9 division. His name is RALPH and heavy on the PH.
Skippey how have you been feeling lately, staying well I hope.
ReplyDeleteYa we took that deadbeat dad Miscreant out good. hahahahah AKA Jared Allen Schons..
So Ian's a definite no.
ReplyDeleteCheck.
There's another one that keeps trying to comment. Some unknowing little shit.
I'm assuming you guys know him?
Just based on the comments I've deleted he sounds like a child.
Unknown is a wise mouth punk,,, Only copies and paste one liners from the left media,...
ReplyDeleteI don't feel the least bit sorry for any of the trolls that can no longer post their nonsense on here. I took great pleasure visualizing them getting the boot off of here and visualizing their arms and legs flailing wildly as they got booted to the dumpster. The dumpster is where all the trolls belong -
ReplyDeleteExactly the kind of comments I've been deleting.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest here I'm not real big on this moderator approval thing but I do see why it had to be done.
Ya Ben, its a nasty Job but someone has to do it, and that old saying better you than me, Lol On the bright side it seems to be working out except it may take up more of your time, but most of us can wait on approvals.. Gives me time to have a beer or two, or three. :):)
ReplyDeleteOh and there are some Nasty people out there that want to get in on this blog, only to cause shit and tear it apart,..
ReplyDeleteThen it's a deal. Moderator approval stays in place. At least for now.
ReplyDeleteA man that can make a decision I like that Ben!
ReplyDeletethe trolls will never be civil nor will they contribute factual points of political debate.
ReplyDeleteI would welcome a discussion of the views from the left political spectrum; however, I have yet encountered an intelligent one here on this blog. The progressives here just want to bloviating talking points. When confronted they cannot defend their beliefs and resort to the tactic, "If you can't attack the idea, attack the man." They resort to ridicule and vulgarity. They then whine when we attack them back. A bunch of pampered sissies.
ReplyDeleteBen: just for the record they will go after you for stopping their free speech, but the only reason they want on this Blog is to stop our free speech, trust me on this one.
ReplyDeleteRikki, How is Rick holding up? I hope his mom is not in pain. You both are in our thought and prayers.
ReplyDeleteHe's taking this pretty hard -
DeleteTo help him through, I've got him doing music in his spare time. He's trying to learn the banjo. I've got him in lessons. We work in the yard together, we also go to Lake Shawnee's Botanical Garden to walk amongst the quiet and listen to the water and the breeze gently moving the tree leaves.
At present, his mom is resting comfortably.
Thank your for your thoughts & prayers.
(((hugs)))
M.D.
Then they have their work cut out for them. All I require is that they grovel at my feet, acknowledge the error of their ways, and vow to at least try to be decent human beings.
ReplyDeleteToo much?
I don't think so.
and the trolls need to admit that they're liars!
ReplyDeleteI would be the first to defend free speech. However, the trolls here are only interested in cutting off intelligent discussion. They don't remember or understand the ACLU used to be a big defender of free speech. They pissed both the left and the right depending on who they were defending.
ReplyDeleteHere's a tidbit for the trolls and any other democrat....
ReplyDeleteIt was the Democrats who fought fiercely to stop the abolishment of slavery, it was the Democrats who fought fiercely to not give women the right to vote, all of the oppression that this country endured throughout history is due to the damned Democrats.
The Democrats are the problem, not the solution.
The Democrats need to lose control of the House and lose seats in the Senate, blue states need to be turned to red states and Donald Trump needs to be re-elected.
I appreciate the conversation this morning. But I have some running around to get done. I'll get to your comments as soon as I can. And hopefully if time allows I'll work up a new blog before the end of the day.
ReplyDeleteGo on get!!! You better things to do and so do the rest of us I am sure, Later....
ReplyDeleteThe trolls that were here and over on CJ did nothing but put up false statements, lies, and then when they were shown that they were wrong they would then attack any one that showed them their wrongs. Lying and down right attacking other posters was and is their way of having a conversation, dialog, or any other one of their so called talking points.
ReplyDeleteanother thing about the trolls.... we're in their thoughts that's why they keep coming around. I guess they enjoy getting their lies debunked and their asses kicked.
ReplyDeleteSkipper just to let you know NASCAR is on now FS1
ReplyDeleteWell did a pizza for my grandson today and a strawberry cake for him also. That Guy has me in the palm of his hand good Grief. Life is good. Cake was so good wife wants a spice cake tomorrow, Gees...
ReplyDeletehee hee Sarge :)
ReplyDeleteyou ole softy you :)
but I must admit, grandkids are awesome and it just takes a smile from my grandson and I'm in his control :)
Spoiling the significant other is awesome too.
Tucker Carlson?
ReplyDeleteHere we go...
Here we go what you got a date?? :):)
DeleteTucker Carlson what?
ReplyDeleteThat what you're talking about Mr. Hammertime?
ReplyDeleteYep, still reading some stuff. Trying to figure how this happened.
ReplyDeleteNo need for the Mr.
For simplicity you can go with hammer.
I'll have to admit, the posts that were written isn't something I'd write.
ReplyDeleteBut dam, they are funny.
I am also triggered at the sniveling communist bitch AOC.
ReplyDeleteI'm triggered about the ship explosion.
I'm triggered about the battle for school openings.
I'm triggered about shipping delays.
Equivocation of the jump in crime and murder to people shoplifting and what not for bread. The c**t circular talks in a way that I just want to put my boot in her ass.
I'm also triggered about Portland and what happened at the courthouse last night. It's bad enough that they are out at 3:00 am causing chaos, but the mayor allows it. The media isn't showing it to us. All over Twitter. The only positive was the skinny fucker holding a boom box, tries tossing a CS canister back at the police, only to receive the gift of a bean bag to the face. Laid him out. It was glorious, but still doesn't quell my frustration.
Look, I'm not sure this can be tolerated till November. I'm not sure civilians are going to/have to step up and start busting faces. Our politicians won't step up, so we should. For guy like me to suggest this? It's bad, considering Ya’ll know how I feel about violence.
When it has to happen, only rule is to be better. Full throttle. Where in the hell is based stick man when you need him.
Hammer is a little pissed off today. Race car in the red.
I played basketball with some kids today to vent and blow steam, it helped. But man am I concerned. I can't be the only one.
November is still a long haul away....
Gonna have to unplug and read tonight. Maybe some Emerson.
Probably so. Ice tea, A/C, and a book.
Hammer it is.
ReplyDeleteDo me a favor will you?
I just published a new blog and I'd like for you to copy this one over to the new one. I'd do it myself but I'm still new at this and haven't figured it all out yet.
