Dash Cams are a MUST HAVE since 2020

 I am not sure where you are. But here in the USA, I do believe we have arrived at the point where our government is complete failure.

One of these failures is traffic control. They tell us we need to have a "licence" so that it proves we know how to drive properly and safely. But if you go to you tube or any other such place on the internet, you will find hundreds of videos of idiot drivers. Some are here in the USA, others are in the UK, some down under in Aussie land.. still others are in just about every country on the planet.

In 2015, I finally bought my first "dash cam". Now I have them front and back in my car.  This is the 3rd week of August, 2020 and so far this year alone I have had about 14 people nearly wreck my car because of their poor driving skills. So I guess having that licence doesn't mean much. 

Of those 14 attempts, 9 were people either merging on to the expressway, or exiting it. I have seen people exit the highway from the far left lane, crossing 4 lanes of traffic and just barely getting on the off ramp. 

I have had way too many of these idiot drivers coming on to the expressway that do not look to their left, and just merge into the right most lane, forcing me to slam the brakes, or move over to the left lane, which most of the time is already occupied, thus causing another driver to go off the road. 

This is why I now run "crash cams" in my car.  Apparently a licence does not mean the person knows how to drive. Its just a way for government to charge us outrageous car tag and registration fees every year after we already paid high sales tax when we buy the vehicle, and even higher fuel taxes every time we fill up. That money is clearly not being used to maintain and fix the roads. Nor is it being used for traffic control. 

I rarely see traffic patrols out on the roads anymore.  Those idiot drivers are making our roads as safe as something you expect to see in a 3rd world country. 

My friend Mark who also runs cams front and back now drives the cheapest wrecks he can get his hands on.. he puts a bumper sticker on them that say "this car cost 300 bucks, go ahead and hit me".. Idiots have wrecked 4 of them in the last 2 years. 2 at these newly built but poorly designed roundabouts that the USA  traffic department is falling in love with, that no one knows how to use properly. 

I got a shock last week. My Sister bought a used 2021 car. A Kia.. cost over 24,000 dollars.  For a car. You gotta be kidding me.. 24k for a new car thats slightly bigger than a VW bug?! OWCH! 
Well, at least she wasn't stupid and got an electric car. 

I just ordered her first crash cam for it. She doesn't know shes getting it. 

And with Michigans useless No fault insurance, she's paying a lot more to have a new car with that full coverage insurance and high licence plate fees. Then the car Manufacturers wonder why they can't sell the newer vehicles. They cost too much, are high priced junk, cost too much to repair, and we have a lot of idiot drivers out there to help the value of your car, plummet faster than Bill Clintons pants.

No more Telephone; Going phoneless in 2022.

Well I did it. I finally unplugged from the Phone industry. 

No landline, No cell phone.  No more robo calls, no spam calls, no scammers. NO one can call me anymore. Not even friends. Oh I still have a cell phone, but its only for calling 911 in case of an emergency. Just about any cell phone will let you call 911 even if it is not an active phone.

Months ago, due to the growing number of robo calls, scam calls, and other annoying calls, I talked with friends about this idea of going phoneless for a while. A trial run so to say. Never did that. 

But last week I took the first step and canceled my Verizon account. This is saving me $75 a month.

I notified everyone that needed to know, that I would no longer have access to a valid telephone or cell phone and gave them instructions on how to contact me via email, US postal mail, or to stop in at my home.  

People were surprised I did this. Many appeared to be upset or confused. Especially the doctors office and the Veterans Administration.  They can still contact me. It just won't be instantly.  A few companies told me they would no longer do business with me if I did not have a valid phone contact number.  I told them fine, cancel my account then and I will take my business elsewhere. 

For the last 8 weeks I kept records of calls made to my phone. Over 75 calls were made to me per week, and only 2 or 3 were people I needed to talk to. The others were Robo calls, spam calls, scam calls, and endless robo text messages.

Walgreens was the worst, Comcast/xfinity was 2nd worst tied with Spectrum health for robo calls.

It got so bad, I let my voice mail fill up so that it would not accept anymore robo recordings. And I changed the out going message to the old fashioned busy signal we used to hear on the old dial up land line phones. I am told it drives people crazy hearing it. 

I think I am going to try this for 3 months and see how it goes. I might just like it.  I might just end up pulling the plug on comcast internet too, as I can use my tablet or laptop to check email using wifi. I hear other companies are now coming out with 5G wifi internet packages that are far cheaper than the Comcast/Xfinity monopoly we have in this area.


Update. June 2022.. so far so good, and peace and quiet.. Now for phase 2.
I went out and got me a cheap phone. A throw away phone. I gave the number to friends only, and told them DO NOT SHARE their contacts with anyone or any program.  I start using it tomorrow, 1 July 2022. Wonder how long before the spam calls start? I am not giving that number out to any one but 3 family members and 6 friends. 

We will see

Lord I am so TIRED of snowflakes! And I do not mean the weather kind.

Shake my head, with a big SIGH!.. I am so tired of having to interact with stupid people and snowflakes.

So this is going to be a rant posting. 

I used to advocate for veterans. No more. Too many just want people to do things for them that they can do for themselves, or won't do what they need to do to improve their situations. Its like talking to a wall. So now when one asks for my help, I refer them to the VA.  Friends of mine, several who also were advocates, all have burned out just like I have. We still help some, but are very picky about who we help.

I am also tired of helping people who CAN help themselves, but will not. No, you won't go out and spend 90 bucks on a printer that you need, or an OBD reader (car/truck diagnostic hand held readout computer) for 70 bucks, but you will spend 4 to 9 thousand on new Quads for yourself and your kids that you use sparingly on weekends between May and September. Mean while your truck/car breaks down 3 times a year and you get frustrated because it costs you a over 100 dollars to take it in and have a mechanic check it out to tell you whats wrong with it, (simple sensor replacement) when the OBD reader could tell you what the problem is in about 30 seconds.. DUH! 

I have been in electronics since I was 14. Back then we still used vacuum tubes. The digital age was just beginning, so I had to learn that too, but it was in its infancy and progressed rapidly. Now few things use the tube technology. Everything is digital which makes some things easier to troubleshoot. 

Been a PC computer tech since they first came out. My first PC ran DOS .99 beta, before DOS became the first official PC user programing language. I owned an original Mac. And what was then called an IBM, which is now called Windows systems.  I stayed with the windows operating system as the one I use, but still can and do know and can operate MAC systems as well.

From windows 3.0 all the way up to windows 10, I have ran them all. 

From 8088 CPU based computers to the new AMD/Intel chips of today, I have worked on Desktops, Towers, Laptops, smart phones, and tablets. And just about every major brand name out there.

And I am tired of stupid people who should not own any of it. 

People who do not manage their passwords properly are a real thorn in my side. I tell them to get a small note book, write down the website address, the log on name used, the password and what date they created it and leave a few spaces below for later info.. They do not. I tell them to write this info in a note file and save it to a flash drive or (back then a floppy disk) or a back up. They do not. Then they wonder why I cannot hack their system so they can reset the password without losing data.

I tell them to back up critical data incase their Hard drive dies.. they do not. Then they whine when they lose it all. 

Then I got the ones that write it down in several locations, with Password info scattred on dozens of sheets of note paper, scattered thru out their desk area or office room, and they cannot remember where it is.   Totally unorganized. 

I help a lotta folks on limited resources. Retirees on limited funds, disabled people on limited funds, etc. Many have older systems that must be upgraded, yet they want me to keep their old windows 7 machine (and yes one guy was still running windows XP), on line and working but found out they can no longer access their email because their system is no longer supported. 

Hard drives and DVD/CDs are becoming a thing of the past. New tech is SSD (solid state drives) and flash drives.  Yet folks want me to fix their older machines to keep them running and/or replace components that you cannot even get anymore.

Then there are the PHONE people.. The ones that shouldn't even own a cell phone. If they do, it should be a simple talk and text only phone and nothing more.  Smart phone with dumb users is what I call them. I have spent hours and hours trying to teach people how to use their smart phones.  And many times it ends in frustration.

New tech for internet and new printer setup software now requires you to have a smart phone with its own internet access, to set up the new printer or internet hardware from your ISP (internet service provider).  Not everyone owns a smart phone, and still some who do (because they had no other choice but to get one) don't have a clue as to how to use them.  It gets frustrating.  They cannot set up these devices without one.. or if they do not have an email address or a phone number..  I have several people here who do not own a phone at all!
And since land lines are now a thing of the past (very few left), most people who have what looks like a land line, is actually a phone hooked up to cable TV system.  So its either no phone, Cable Phone or a cell phone. And the cell phone users want the cheapest phone (least capable) phone they can get. 

And I am now telling people that I no longer do that stuff.. In reality I do it for a few close friends and relatives.. no others.  

Then you got the snowflakes. They are all over the place.. say the wrong thing and you get banned, you get ignored, you get shamed, you get ostracized, you get shunned. It may be as simple as accidently dropping an F-bomb, or sharing an opinion that someone else doesn't like or agree with, or whatever. 

It is like being thrown in facebook jail, where you are not allowed to post or say anything for a week, 3 weeks or a month. Or you get banned, or your page shut down. 

 But this is happening in the real world. And I am tired of it all. 

I haven't owned a TV since 2006. My voice mail is full of robo calls and I am having my phone service provider shut off voice mail. I will only do texts and voice. Yes I have an expensive Smart phone. I do not used it as a computer as some people do. But every once in a while when I am on the road I will use some of the higher capabilities of it. 

The smart phone was not intended to do what a desktop can do, and a laptop cannot do what a desk top can do. My 10 inch screen tablet cannot do what either of them do, and I use it to play one game  - Boom Beach. 

I find myself slowly but steadily unplugging from the world.  Soon I may not even have internet anywhere but on my cell phone and that will be limited to just a few people.

I stopped giving out my new email address and my phone number. I tell people they don't need it. It is amazing how many companies refuse to do business with me if I do not give out an email address, or phone number, or both.  What I find amazing is the looks I get from snowflakes who cannot believe that I can live without either one of them. 

Walgreens sent me so many robo calls, my provider now blocks their calls. Same with spectrum health. And they are not happy about it. But like I told them.. Stop the robo calls or it would happen. They did not and it did. Now they can text me or send me a snail mail message.

Soon I will just have snail mail and a basic cell phone that does talk and text only. No 2 lines, no video calls, no voice mail. Just a cell phone.  

And I am finding I am enjoying the peace and quiet and solitude.

Kyle Rittenhouse verdict is making stupid people even dumber.

 Gowd, I am tired of stupid people. Even more tired of the low level journalism being done in our news media. 

I have watched and read countless articles miss identifying the kind of rifle used in this case. They keep calling it an AR15, which stands for Armalite Rifle model 15. It is a MR 15, made by Smith and Wesson. There are several other manufactures out there that make the same rifle, and it looks just like that one. It does not mean that their rifle is an AR15.  The "15" designation is the standard for the civilian model of a Military weapon. As such is is by law, SEMI-automatic. It is NOT an automatic rifle, as many claim (due to their ignorance or just being lazy). There is a difference and it makes ALL the difference.  An automatic rifle is one that shoots more than 1 shot with each release of the trigger. 


Then there are those who were not in the court room whose brains are so small they think they know more about this case than the jury did. They claim he should have been found guilty. How can these fools say that when they don't even have all the facts? They are ignoring a very important key to our american freedom. That is our right to be judged by a jury of our peers. But these idiots are not accepting that verdict. They seem to think they know better and the jury system must be flawed because it did not turn out how THEY thought it should. 

Then there are the fools that continuously call Kyle a racist. Kyle shot 3 white guys, (his own color) so how does that make him a racist?  I have seen where 3 village idiots even claim he shot 3 black people. Sigh! How can people be so dumb?!!

The justice system worked and people are angry about it. Why? Do they really want a banana republic type justice system? Do they really want mob mentality justice? Public lynchings? Because that is the message these morons are sending.   And that should worry every Law abiding citizen.

Kenosha was quiet the night of the verdict. But Portland Oregon, another state, nearly half a country away, erupted in rioting. Why? What did portland have to do with what happened in Kenosha Wisconsin?

Then on top of all this you have the mass Propaganda machine called the Main Stream Media who was pushing its own narrative of the situation. And in doing so look what happened. 

The court house was threatened, the judge, jury and accused persons were threatened. All because things were not going the way the peons wanted them to go.  What kind of behavior is this and why are Americans accepting it as being normal? 

I have come to the conclusion that we cannot have a proper system of justice if the courts allow the media to have free reign during these high profile cases. The judges MUST control the media by refusing them access to the court, and to the court proceedings. Judges must do this to protect the members of the Juries and to protect the right of the accused to a fair and just trial.  

Media if anything should encourage the juries to look at all the facts that are established, to toss out ides or conjectures and pass their judgement according to the facts of the case and according to the laws of the State they are in, and if in federal court, the laws of the Nation. 

On top of this our usual band of village idiots in WDC are trying to come up with a justification for having the federal government look into this, just because Kyle exercised his right to travel and crossed a state line. WOW, what is next?  "show me our papers?!" just to travel? What happened to our freedoms?  The imbeciles in WDC who swore to uphold the US Constitution seem to be doing their best to destroy it.   

And we the people are allowing it.. what a shame.

Michigan circuit family court judge T. J. Ackert is a liar and needs to be removed from the bench.

 In Feb of 2021, Judge Ackert in a court hearing told a plaintiff that if she appeared in court over the same issues, (the ones she had been in court 7 times prior over), that there would be a custody change. 

She was facing 7,500 dollars in civil contempt charges. And legal and attorney fees.

Today she was back in court, again for the same issues. Her 9th appearance. 

She got No fines, not contempt charges, no legal fees, and no custody change. 


The judge gave her another empty threat of custody change. And a few more empty threats of making her pay fines, and court costs, and attorney fees, and being investigated.

All this loser judge is doing is dragging this out, costing the father hundreds of dollars that he cannot use for the benefit of his own kids.  

9 times in court over the same issues. The issues that SHE agreed to as part of her divorce request. 

Congratulations Judge Ackert, this is why the MGTOW movement is growing, (Men Going Their Own Way), and why many guys just give up and leave michigan never to return and never pay child support because a-holes like Akerman turn the fathers into Glorified limitless ATM machines. 

Time to remove this useless judge.

What is the Michigan Government afraid of?

 We have strong proof of Election Fraud in Michigan, yet none of our politicians and few judges will even consider examining the evidence!  Why is this? 

What are they afraid of? That the people will lose faith in our election system? Or that we will vote them all out and vote in 3rd party people for a change? 


Here's a few questions about Michigan:

          Dem poll-watchers outnumber GOP 3:1. -- Republican officials have been barred from observing the counting of absentee ballots, and that transposed absentee ballots are being certified without a GOP official signing off on them. After kicking out Republican poll challengers, election officials began covering up the windows of the counting rooms with cardboard to block the view of Republican observers.

          In Michigan, only ballots received by 8 p.m. on Election Day, this year Nov. 3, are valid. - a Republican poll challenger, filed an affidavit saying she was told by someone counting absentee ballots that workers in Detroit were “changing the dates the ballots were received” so they would be considered valid.   This evidence needs to be examined, and if found to be a like, the person filing it needs to be prosecuted for perjury and held to the law. 

 

          A post-election audit found that nearly 30 percent of precincts showed discrepancies in vote totals. – The Detroit News reported that “legally incapacitated nursing home residents were being coaxed to vote and Detroit’s voting rolls were inflated with more than 300,000 names of people who had died or moved out of the city.” - Voter rolls are “replete with typos, dead people, duplicate registrations and mistakes about gender and birth: One Detroit voter is listed as being born in 1823—14 years before Michigan was annexed into the Union,” according to the Detroit Free Press.

 

          Truck full of ballots arrives at TCF Center at 3-4:00am, long after the legal deadline.

          Former Michigan state Sen. Pat Colbeck, who has a background in information technology and cybersecurity, having worked for the Defense Department, NASA, and other entities, testified that the numbers do not match up to demonstrate Biden clearly won the state—or at least not by the margin as it stands now. - With the Dominion Voting Systems, he added, “there is a transmittal of fractional vote data.”  “You guys have done a lot of votes inside the Senate, as I did when I was serving my two terms. I don’t recall any of those vote tallies up on the board having a decimal point. Do you guys?”

          A contractor with Dominion Voting Systems—the controversial voting machine company that prompted questions, an information technology and cybersecurity specialist said, “What I witnessed at the TCF Center was completely fraud. The whole 27 hours I was there, there were batches of ballots run through the tabulating machines numerous times, being counted eight to 10 times. I watched this with my own eyes.” A Republican poll challenger at the TCF Center in Detroit, claimed she saw copies of ballots being made to increase Biden’s vote total. “They were all for Biden across the board. There wasn’t a single Trump vote. None of the voters are registered,” she said. -- She said election workers entered names and addresses with phony birthdates that she said “would override the system and allow them to enter nonregistered voters.” - “Throughout the day, that’s how they would override voters that were neither in the electronic poll book or the supplemental, updated poll book,” she said.

          Election Security expert Russell Ramsland, the co-owner of Allied Security Operations Group (ASOG). His company specializes in detecting election fraud, cybersecurity, open source intelligence and global security services. Ramsland served in the Reagan administration and has worked for both NASA and MIT. - In the affidavit concerning the election in Michigan, Ramsland determined – without question – that vote fraud and ballot tampering took place in the 2020 General Election in Michigan determining the results as they are currently known to be a “physical impossibility.” - “My colleagues and I… have studied… the November 3, 2020, election results. Based on the significant anomalies and red flags that we have observed, we believe there is a significant probability that election results have been manipulated…” Ramsland wrote. - “I figured out how to make a slightly different computer program that just before the polls were closed it switches some votes around from one candidate to another. I wrote that computer program into a memory chip and now to hack a voting machine you need just 7 minutes alone with it and a screw driver.” - “The final red flag is perhaps the greatest,” Ramsland wrote. “In the data are 4 spikes totaling 384, 733 ballots allegedly processed in a combined interval of only 2 hours and 38 minutes. This is physically impossible given the available equipment at the 4 reference locations.”

          A single computer “glitch” in Antium County awarded 6,000 votes to Biden and the Democrats that were supposed to go to President Trump. With 47 Michigan counties using this software, similar glitches might yield a discrepancy of hundreds of thousands of ballots — or even more.

 

          An affidavit from a city employee claiming she was asked to backdate ballots. - ‘I was instructed by my supervisor to adjust the mailing date of these absentee ballot packages to be dated earlier than they were actually sent. The supervisor was making announcements for all workers to engage in this practice.’” – Another United States Postal Service worker on Wednesday told Project Veritas that a supervisor named Johnathan Clarke in Traverse City, Michigan – one of the big swing states this election cycle – potentially engaged in voter fraud. "We were issued a directive this morning to collect any ballots we find in mailboxes, collection boxes, just outgoing mail in general, separate them at the end of the day so that they could hand stamp them with the previous day's date," the whistleblower stated. "Today is November 4th for clarification."

 

          Monolithic vote dumps that awarded 138,000-plus votes to Joe Biden. Biden somehow got 138,339 votes and Trump got none, zero, in an overnight vote-dump. - This one is over-the-top ridiculous. They 'stopped the counting' in MI, GA, PA, and WI, but they didn't stop at 3:00AM, 138,339 votes for Biden in MI.

          An election worker in Detroit has signed an affidavit alleging she witnessed her fellow election workers attempting to coach voters to cast ballots for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, Newsweek  reported.

          She added that a supervisor ordered her “not to ask for a driver’s license or any photo I.D. when a person was trying to vote.” - At the satellite location, she said she observed a “large number of people” showing up to vote in-person who “had already applied for an absentee ballot.” - “These people were allowed to vote in-person and were not required to return the mailed absentee ballot or sign an affidavit that the voter lost the mailed absentee ballot.”

 
The evidence being shown to the people of Michigan needs to be examined. The 2020 election needs to be audited via a forensic audit, so that our lawmakers can write new laws to prevent this kind of fiasco from happening again in the future.

Michigan Politicians in denial about 2020 Vote Fraud.

 

2020 Vote fraud is:

·        Failure of district workers handling of voting records.  Detroit

·        Failure to properly audit election results to get an accurate count. Sec of State

·        Ballot harvesting

·        Failure of States to verify eligibility of voters. Most districts

·        Refusal of mainstream media to allow any stories suggesting something wrong happened during the 2020 election process.

·        Mainstream media’s constantly lying about Claims made by Donald Trump that have not been properly investigated.

·        Failure by the judiciary to hear evidence of vote fraud, and/or improper handling of ballots, improper counting, and problems with vote counting machines.

·        Failure of the US Supreme court to hear the Constitutional Complaint filed by the State of Texas, the only State that is a state by CONTRACT. I consider this to be a breach of that contract.

·        States failure to maintain proper voter rolls is vote fraud.

·        10,000 votes cast in a district with only 8,000 valid voters.

·        Refusal to allow preapproved observers to observe the vote counting process, is vote fraud. This happened in several districts.

·        Failure to follow established procedures during vote counting, is vote fraud.


Fraud OF ANY KIND voids everything. 2020 Vote in Michigan is strife with

FRAUD of many kinds. Our elected politicians REFUSE to acknowledge it.  

Shame on them.
