Mr. Geil (Cynically) Explains The News:

Impeachment Edition:

So there are two teams of crooks. They live in Washington DC. Then another crook from New York, but also kind-of from Florida, who's not actually part of either team, but is really part of both teams, gets elected president. One team of crooks says, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. You don't get to be president! Get out of our cat-poop-filled crooked sandbox! You have your own rat-poop-filled crooked sandbox to play in!.” The other team says, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. We don't want you to be president either but we're kind of stuck with you.” So then one set of crooks says, “Hey you kind of did some things that might be crooked even though every president ever has done the exact same thing you just did.” So they have this big poorly-rated TV show where a bunch of the crooks tell a bunch of things that are probably lies. Then another bunch of crooks tells a bunch of different things that are probably lies to neutralize the previous crooks mostly probably lies. Then this foreign crook gets asked, “Hey what about that crooked stuff that our crooked president said?” Then the foreign crook says, “Your current crooked president didn't say that. As a matter of fact, your crooked president before this crooked president did the very same thing you're accusing your current crooked president of doing. Your current crook actually didn't do the crooked thing you say he crookedly did. He actually did the opposite.” Then the crooks respond, “Ok. So we’re just going to go ahead and put down that you said he DID do the crooked thing and we’ll pretend the previous crook didn’t do that crooked thing.” Meanwhile, there's a bunch of stuff those crooks are supposed to do as part of their jobs. But instead of doing their jobs they tried to preserve their traditional way of crookedness. Meanwhile, meanwhile, America ate more Doritos...and waited.

Mr. Geil Explains the News: 10/11/19 or "UKRAINE + PHONE CALLS + BIDEN = IMPEACHMENT?"

Mr. Geil Explains the News.
UKRAINE + PHONE CALLS + BIDEN = IMPEACHMENT?
1. Hunter Biden is Joe Biden’s youngest son. He is either an entrepreneur or a bum.
2. In 2014 Hunter Biden got on the board of a Ukranian natural gas company “Burisma Holdings” and was paid $50,000.00 a month because he is really good at gas, or he was the son of the Vice President of the US of A. *Previously Hunter Biden had 0% experience in the natural gas industry, he’d never even been to Taco Bell.
3. Also in 2014, “Burisma Holdings” was under investigation for corruption by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine because of stuff they did/or didn’t do with the Ukranian Ecology Board in 2010-2012.
4. Joe Biden told the Ukraine Government, “Get rid of Viktor Shokin (a head dude at the Anti-Corruption Bureau) or we won’t give you a billion dollars.”
5. This was done either because Shokin was investigating a natural gas company tied to Biden's son or it was because Shokin wasn't pursuing corruption among the country's politicians.
6. In 2019, Trump called the leader of Ukraine and said, “Hey, could you please look into this whole Corruption Investigation/Biden/get-rid-of-Shokin-thing” Trump then added/or didn’t add, “Or I won’t give you a billion dollars.”
7. Then someone blew a whistle or someone made up that someone blew a whistle.
8. The (possibly made-up) person who blew the whistle did or did not work for Biden in the past and may or may not be working for Biden now (if that person is real.)
9. Then someone said that someone else may also possibly blow yet another whistle...or maybe not.
10. When asked about that time Trump pressured him to investigate something about Biden and something else because of money, the Ukranian President, Volodymyr Zelensky answered, “No he didn’t.”
11. Then the questioner replied, “Oh yay? Well, we have whistles.”
12. Also, Presidents may or may not be able to tell people in other governments they can or can’t have money if they do or don’t do things.
13. Also, also, other people running for president may or may not have asked other governments to investigate Trump when he was running for President the first time.
14. Also, also, also, let's just add this to the list of reason's why Trump may (or may not) need to be impeached.

MR GEIL EXPLAINS THE NEWS: 10/10/19 or "Here's how I see it."

Mr. Geil Explains the News.
So, here’s the way I’m seeing it:
1. Everything Trump says or does is bad and a lie...or, maybe it’s true...or maybe some of it is true and some of it is a lie...and there’s really no way to calculate the percentages of which is which.
2. Everything the Democrats/The Left accuse Trump of is true and he should be impeached...or maybe it is all a lie and they should be impeached...or, maybe some of it is true and some of it is a lie...and there’s really no way to calculate the percentages of which is which.
3. Everything the Republicans/The Right excuse Trump of is true and he should not be impeached...or maybe it is all a justification and they should be impeached along with him...or, maybe some of it is true and some of it is a lie...and there’s really no way to calculate the percentages of which is which.
4. Everything CNN/CNBC/ABC/CBS/NBC/NPR accuse Trump of is true and he should be impeached...or maybe it is all a lie and there are no repercussions for their lies...or, maybe some of it is true and some of it is a lie...and there’s really no way to calculate the percentages of which is which.
5. Everything FOX/LIMBAUGH excuse Trump of is true and he should not be impeached...or maybe it is all a lie and there are no repercussions for their lies...or, maybe some of it is true and some of it is a lie...and there’s really no way to calculate the percentages of which is which.
AND NOW FROM THE WORLD OF SPORTS!
6. And the NBA loves China? Or is mad at China? Or China is mad at the NBA? Or something...
7. SnoopDog gave Bill Self a gold chain...now KU is in trouble.

"Bump Stocks" and other things I know now...

"Just a few moments ago I signed a memo directing the attorney general to propose regulations that ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns," Trump said at a Medal of Valor event at the White House, addressing Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Read the article HERE

This ban is not a stretch (even the NRA is not for them) "Bump-Stocks" basically use the recoil of a rifle as a mechanism to pull the trigger without much effort.  Bump Stocks were found at the scene of the Las Vegas murders.

So, this is not "nothing." But is is also not much of "something" as in, "Someone needs to do something." (BTW, Trump is catching it from both sides on this one.)

So, here are two more things he could do today that would be "Something."


1.) Release Homeland Security funds to Schools for security upgrades. Cameras, electronic and mechanical locks, training, security staff...any thing to prevent entry.

2.) Ban the AR-15.  Yeah, I said that.  Straight ban it from civilian possession and use through executive order. This would be a symbolic ban and it would never hold up in court, but, this guy also tried to ban folks from several countries...so he's not against symbolic actions. The AR-15 has become the poster-child of mass-shooters. Time to take that poster down.  


I do realize, these options don't make anyone safer tomorrow, but it may be an action response to the current "No one is doing anything" mantra.

One of the Least Jesus-Like Things

     I am in agreement with much of the "Christian Conservative Political Agenda." But the one "plank in the platform" that seems to be the "least-Jesus-like" (to me) is the insistence that gun-ownership is some kind of divine right, as if God has ordained us to possess and utilize guns. Guns that have no other practical purpose than to shoot another person.

     Remember, I'm in my mid-fifties, and from the extra-rural Midwest. So I'm one of the crotchedy old-dudes who says, "I grew-up with guns in the house and many of my friends brought guns to school and left them in their trucks on the gun racks. (I even built a gun rack in shop.) and we never shot anybody..."

     However, I think I'm missing my own point.  We have a Federal Constitutional right to "bear arms."  The concept (and practice) of citizens bearing arms was (arguably) a hallmark of revolutionary America, and possibly the single factor that led to our independence (arguably.)
     But ultimately the argument of the "civility" (as in; is gun ownership a civil right) and the "constitutionality" of gun ownership is inadequate (and quite besides the point) compared to the ultimate questions Christians should really be asking themselves, "Does Jesus want me to have a gun? Does Jesus want me to use a gun against someone else?"
     Let me point out up-front that on one occasion, Jesus interacted w/a Roman military officer and Jesus did not tell him, "Oh, by the way...stop being Soldier."  Jesus did meet a very rich young man and told him to give away all of his wealth to the poor to secure treasure in heaven.
     Jesus also said, "Don't you know, those who live by the sword, die by the sword."  He didn't necessarily say, "Give-up your swords." As a matter of fact, he asked how many swords they had.  He did point out the consequences of being armed...you die.
     Jesus made a point of illustrating over and over again that being self-less, and not holding on to your personal rights was the way to eternal life.  Giving up your life saves your life.  He went as far as to almost rub-it-in Pilate's by saying, "Understand, I have a devastating,  unstoppable army at my disposal just itching to vindicate me, but I'm not here for that. I'm here to pour out my life."
    So, you want to argue you have a constitutional right to own any and all manner of guns, go right ahead. I can't argue with you.  You want to say you have a civil obligation to keep yourself and your loved-ones safe with a firearm, again, I can't disagree.  But you can't convince me that Jesus is cool with it.  Those who live by the sword...

The Immigration Policy of Mexico (or Good for the Goose, Good for the Gander?)

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox slammed Trump's proposal to build a wall and told Jorge Ramos "I'm not going to pay for that f---ing wall,"

Fox then told CNN's Anderson Cooper in a phone interview that he will not apologize and said that Trump reminds him of Adolf Hitler.

"Today, he's going to take that nation (U.S.) back to the old days of conflict, war and everything. I mean, he reminds me of Hitler. That's the way he started speaking," Fox said.

Here is the Immigration policy of Mexico under former Mexican President Felipe Calderon, former Mexican President Vicente Fox and current Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto

From Mexico’s Ley General de Población (General Law of the Population):

·      > The Mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset “the equilibrium of the national demographics.”

·      > If outsiders do not enhance the country’s “economic or national interests” or are “not found to be physically or mentally healthy,” they are not welcome. Neither are those who show “contempt against national sovereignty or security.” They must not be economic burdens on society and must have clean criminal histories. Those seeking to obtain Mexican citizenship must show a birth certificate, provide a bank statement proving economic independence, pass an exam, and prove they can provide their own health care.

·      > Illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishable by two years’ imprisonment. Document fraud is subject to fine and imprisonment; so is alien marriage fraud. Evading deportation is a serious crime; illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by ten years’ imprisonment. Foreigners may be kicked out of the country without due process.

·      > Law-enforcement officials at all levels — by national mandate — must cooperate to enforce immigration laws, including illegal-alien arrests and deportations. The Mexican military is also required to assist in immigration-enforcement operations. Native-born Mexicans are empowered to make citizens’ arrests of illegal aliens and turn them in to authorities.

·      > Mexico’s National Catalog of Foreigners tracks all outside tourists and foreign nationals. A National Population Registry tracks and verifies the identity of every member of the population, who must carry a citizens’ identity card. Visitors who do not possess proper documents and identification are subject to arrest as illegal aliens.

·      > Under the Mexican constitution, political speech by foreigners is banned. Noncitizens cannot “in any way participate in the political affairs of the country.” In fact, a plethora of Mexican statutes enacted by its congress limit the participation of foreign nationals and companies in everything from investment, education, mining, and civil aviation to electric energy and firearms. Foreigners have severely limited (if any) private-property and employment rights.

10 Ways Trump & Obama are the same person…

10 Ways Trump & Obama are the same person…

1.) Both went to Ivy-League Schools:
Trump-Wharton
Obama-Harvard.

2.) Neither had any actual political experience:
Trump-0 months in Political office
Obama-46 months in Political office.

3.) Both claim to be Christians:
Trump: “I am a Christian ... I'm a total believer. I believe in the Bible. I believe in God.”
Obama: “In our lives, Michelle and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith.”

4.) Both kind-of sound like they are not Christians:
Trump: Isn't sure he has ever asked God for forgiveness, as he doesn't "bring God into that picture."
Obama: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” (and, like a million more quotes like that…)

5.) Both have talked about respecting women:
Trump: “I’m very much into the whole thing of helping people and helping women, women’s health issues are such a big thing to me,”
Obama: "We know we are better off when women are treated fairly and equally in every aspect of American life, whether it's the salary you earn or the health decisions you make."

6.) Both have said some ugly personal things:
Trump: (Speaking about Rosie O’Donnell) Megan Kelly, "You've called women fat pigs, dogs, slobs, disgusting animals. Your Twitter account has several --" Trump raised his finger with a smirk to interrupt Kelly: "Only Rosie O'Donnell."
Obama: (In response to Sarah Palin’s comment about hockey moms wearing lipstick) "You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig."
*You can’t get more Trump-like than that, although I admit, Donald has Obama beat-by-a-mile on the quotes about women.

7.) Both have/had catchy campaign slogans:
Trump: “Make America Great Again”
Obama: “Hope & Change”

8.) Neither revealed any real pre-election specifics:
Trump: “I know what I’m doing, and I listen to a lot of people, I talk to a lot of people, and at the appropriate time I’ll tell you who the people are,” Mr. Trump said Wednesday. “But I speak to a lot of people, but my primary consultant is myself, and I have a good instinct for this stuff.”
Obama: “Washington is broken. My whole campaign has been premised from the start on the idea that we have to fundamentally change how Washington works.”

9.) Both were/are loved by the masses during their campaigns:
Trump: “Trump is poised to set a new record vote total in Republican presidential primaries.” Washington Post
Obama: In 2008 Obama received 69,298,000 votes in the Presidential Election, the most in history.

10.) Both are Pop-Culture-Quasi-Media-Created Phenomena 
Trump: Popularity was created (and maintained) by his own celebrity and brand.  Millions (upon millions) of people already knew him and liked him. THE GUY HAS HIS OWN INTERNATIONAL CATCHPHRASE! (¡Estás despedido(a)!) He is not a “typical politician.” He “is a straight-shooter” and “isn’t afraid to say what needs to be said.” TV LOVES HIM, and you can bet the media/illuminati are begging for him to get nominated and elected. (That kind of news just writes itself!)
Obama: The mythos surrounding him WAS AMAZING.  He literally became a work of art. Was he the original internet meme? Where was he born? What does he believe? Hope and Change! That’s what I need! Changing Washington! Transparency! CHANGING THE WORLD!  (And then he ended up just being another crappy President…one of the crappiest.)
