Take middle class wage-earners and convince them that the poor are just lazy, that safety net programs are the bane of a free society, that government is an impediment to the free market, that healthcare is already affordable because their employers pays for it, and that they should vote for those who would curb socialism, stop any progressive reforms, and remove regulations and unions from their beneficent captains of industry.

In short, start with Conservatives. Continue reading “How To Make Liberals**” →

“I don’t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong,” Trump added. “Nor do I like people who say, ‘I pray for you’ when they know that that’s not so”

Once they believe you are God, can read their reasons for prayer, how can you lose their vote.   Kim Jong Un, anyone?

Well, I never put my faith in another man’s faith, but a virus knows not of metal detectors, so I do have hope.

Pick up around minute 8 if you know who he is.  Start at zero, if not.

Colin Kaepernick where are you?

Well, just received my Va Driver License renewal notification with the “Real ID” option.  What fun, what fun.

To “upgrade” to a Real ID license, I need to renew in person, show a US Passport (or other federally approved ID), or a Social Security Card (which says right on the back, “Not a Valid ID”), and a birth certificate (if it had a picture it would be worthless and I don’t remember signing it) or voter registration card (I remind you that in 2012 Mickey Mouse was a registered Va voter in Richmond), plus two forms of proof of address, e.g. a utility bill or a mortgage statement.

Is that what it has come to?  In the days of automatic bill pay and online everything, the proof that I have a street address depends on copies of bills?

Wait, wait!  How about the renewal application that the DMV just mailed to me?  Isn’t the fact that I am holding in my hand something mailed by the DMV to me at my current license address good enough to prove to the DMV that they have my address?  Sheesh.

BTW, if you think Americans are “free”, just try to leave.

Only YOU can prevent fish decimation….

Dear Virginia BoatU.S. Member:

Legislation is currently under review in Richmond to fix how Virginia manages an important forage fish, Atlantic Menhaden, which is vital to the health of the Chesapeake Bay. We urge you to ask your state legislators to pass the bills that will transfer the authority to manage this fishery from the General Assembly to the Virginia Marine Resource Commission (VMRC).

You can easily send a message to your state representative and senator by…  or paste the link at the end of this email into your browser address bar.

Currently Virginia is not complying with Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) regulations on the management of menhaden. Healthy, well-managed menhaden stocks support a healthy Chesapeake Bay. Unfortunately, menhaden have been targeted by commercial companies that have violated the ASMFC’s harvest limits.

VMRC has the expertise to make science-based fishery management decisions for the menhaden fish stocks as it currently does for all other saltwater fisheries managed in the state. The transfer of management authority to VMRC will not have a negative impact on the menhaden fishery, but instead will ensure Virginia’s timely compliance with ASMFC’s interstate fishery management plan as do all other neigboring states.

Please speak up now and share this information with your fishing and boating friends, neighbors, yacht clubs and marinas.
