Greetings Most Honorable Duly Elected Leaders,

 

Wishing You all Well as We here in the U.S.A. Observe and Also Celebrate President’s Day 2022.  As I awoke this morning I thought of one of our Past Leaders and what He accomplished for us all.  I know that you each are familiar with this document, however I am under the impression that we all could Serve our Country better if we actually adhered to the principles President Lincoln so eloquently stated in this “Address:”

 

 

“Gettysburg Address”

by

President Abraham Lincoln


"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live.

It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

 

As You each know, the upcoming mid-term elections are approaching!!!  The candidate seeking reelection as Georgia’s Junior Senator is heard and viewed during Electronic Media Commercials reminding us that He is a Pastor and is seeking a full term as a Georgia Senator to insure that each of us receives excellent representation at a National level.  I find this statement so totally incorrect.  As a member of the Democrat Party he is like the rest of you supporting abortion rights!  This as you know is contrary to our God’s Law and for a Pastor to be a party to this position is aiding and abetting Satan.  To me abortion is killing a baby.  A concept that God supports!

 

Some time back My Bride shared a letter with some of you regarding a payment for a “Covid” Test that she had back in December 2020.  I share her letter here:

Greetings,

 

Today I write to inform You, My duly elected leaders concerning the situation of a Medical Establishment that has not performed as they told me.  I have re-submitted My request for a payment to Medicare for $100.00 when I was told some months ago during a phone call that they – Your doctor’s Immediate Care would handle the problem. 

 

The situation is well explained in the enclosed letter to Medicare.  This is not the type of treatment any citizen of our Great U.S.A. must tolerate!  For the Medical firm/s listed as the last two addees, please be aware that I am concerned enough to let our duly elected leaders know of what is actually happening.  Thank You!

Greetings,

 

I am remailing the attached which is a copy of the request I mailed on 2-23-21 which requested a payment of $100.00 for a charge I incurred on 12-12-2020 and paid by My Visa Card on 12-14-2020 as indicated on the documents submitted to support my request.

 

The Test which resulted in a “Positive” for Covid-19 had to be paid for by me. 

 

After this test I was informed I could submit a request for reimbursement which was done on 2-23-21.  This request was not complete and when I attempted to obtain the additional information required from “Your Doctors Immediate Care at 2410 Ingleside Avenue, Macon, Georgia  31204 Phone (478) 845-7462 a “Clerk” and/or “Technician” there informed me that “THEY” were REQUESTING payments for all the Patients who had previously paid for their test during the early months of COVID testing by Your Doctors Immediate Care. 

 

Unfortunately the word were only received during a phone call were not true.  The aforementioned organization did not produce any payments for me.

 

Now you know why this is a late request.

 

I hope you can now pay me the $100.00 I spend back in December 2020 to learn of my COVID-19 Status.

 

Please note that I have re-signed the request on page 3 and dated it 29 November 2021.

 

Thank You in advance for your assistance in this matter.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Janice B. Thiese

 

Recently, within the past week, My Bride and I were shocked when a check payable to her was received that was for $35.00.  Yes our Federal Government, the organization you all so ably serve, is functioned at the 35 percent level.  I guess we should not have been shocked when we often learn via the Electronic Media that our Leaders are functioning at the 35 percent level and in some cases below that level.  At least that is the confidence level that My fellow citizens assign to your current performance.

 

This morning I also heard a commentary that our President and Vice President are actually leading from behind as regards the Crisis regarding Russia and Ukraine.  I share this reminder with you all which was so perfectly displayed by the Sailors of the USS Ranger, a carrier that I was fortunate to serve in:

 

 

This message conveyed by our U. S. Navy Sailors many years ago on the deck of an attack carrier is not the message our Commander in Chief and His Staff displayed during the August 2021 escape from Afghanistan!  This event from our recent history displayed for all current and potential future enemies that we are not now beholden to the tried and true concepts that eliminated the “Cold War” of the last Century.  I think and also know that if we continue on the current strategy that we will very soon be a third or worse level leader in the World.  You and I know that at this time our influence has decreased because of the Leadership that other Countries Leaders have observed from our Leaders by their actions and words.  In summary to this situation, Actions Speak Louder than Words!  In this regard placing sanctions on Russia after  they invade the Ukraine is very much like trying to place a bridle on a horse after it has escaped the barn.  Too little to late is not a concept that will garner respect for the USA from any World Leader. 

 

I close this letter with the same words I used and also begged of you in my closing to my 2 February 2022 letter:

 

“Please Keep Our Country Safe……..!”

 

Sailor,

Greetings Most Honorable Duly Elected Leaders,

 

Today I send My Second Letter of 2022 to My Duly Elected Leaders.  Those of You who are younger might well do all the citizens of the USA a favor be insuring that the top Three, The President, The Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of the Senate are taking advantage of the marvels of the Medical Profession.  Specifically the producers of Prevagen which is promoted by very frequent commercials during prime time on the Television programs I view!   This drug has the following information on the world wide web and I quote here: “Prevagen may be a good product for mild problems, particularly ones due to aging. It may be suitable for adults who want to improve short-term memory overall brain health.”  Of course some of my peers may possibly feel that Our Top Three Leaders may have more severe memory problems.  I will defer their concerns to them.  If they feel so strong about memory problems they may possibly communicate directly. 

 

Today I also take this opportunity to commend each of your for your concern about the Heroes who are Serving in our Military and those who have served.  I recently received a letter from Steven L. Lieberman, M. D. Deputy Under Secretary for Health in the Department of Veterans Affairs dated 30 December 2021 expressing concerns about Suicidal Thoughts within our Community.  He pointed out the Toll Free Number and also an abundance of resources for those of us who may be suffering.  His compassionate letter made it clear that the VA wants to insure that we are getting the Health Care we need including our Mental Health!  As a Veteran I sincerely appreciate His concern. 

 

Today I also recall my concerns for our United States of America after the brief period of 13 days of Leadership of President Biden.  I quote:

 

“I just published this to the National Leaders who have been elected from/by Georgia:

The First 13 days of 46!!”

“I recall another period of 13 days from many years ago. It was the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The past 13 days while important did not measure up to the crisis of that time; however the drama and the impact on the United States of America is of great concern to me.

A bit of back ground on Alan. He served our U.S.A for 21 years and when he transferred to the U. S. Navy Fleet Reserve in December 9f 1981 he was the recipient of the “Navy Commendation Medal.”

So you may appreciate my concern.

Executive orders:

• pertaining to the cancellation of the Keystone Pipe Line which eliminated a reported 11,000 jobs

• Drilling for Oil in several key states which will also impact our Energy independence

• Allowing transgendered males to compete as females in various High School and College Sports

Operating as a Dictator via many Executive Orders! While many orders were issued, the above mentioned ones are most critical from my point of view.

Additionally, I know that if we in the U.S.A. are going to continue our Freedoms as listed in the Declaration of Independence – Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness we need to be Pro-American. Energy Independence is most critical in that regard. Yet I continue to hear that our fellow Citizens who support “Socialism” in many aspects of our lives think their concepts are proper and that those who do not agree may possibly need to be re-trained. An interesting concept, but not the concept of life in the U.S.A. which I personally defended during my 21 years of Service. Thank You!! If our President and other duly elected leaders continue on the current agenda it is even more critical that we understand the concept of “Unity” which is frequently mentioned in our Electronic Media. As I understand it “Unity” is the ability to compromise on events/laws/regulations/etc. which serve the Common Good of “We the People!” which may become a trite phrase if we continue with the current agenda which has been displayed during the recent 13 days.

Thank You”

 

The concerns I published in the early days of President Biden’s Leadership remain very much my concerns today.  Unfortunately the concerns stated above are now also as critical as then, but we all must acknowledge the facts that the global situation is very complex as I pointed out to each of You in My letter of 28 January 2022 which were summarized with this comment:

 

“”Please keep our Nation safe…………”

 

Thank You,

Greetings Most Honorable Duly Elected Leaders,

 

Again I write.  Mister President, Stop The Border Crisis!!  Each of the other addees of this letter, from my point of view, are guilty of complicity.  Complicity as a noun means - the state of being involved with others in an illegal activity or wrongdoing.

I realize that this sounds harsh, but you all are really “bullying” the citizens of the United States of America for the sole purpose of “getting” what You Desire/Want!!  This is shameful.  I am enclosing a booklet entitled “The Bully” for you to read, mark and learn from.  The booklet may appear childish to you, however I consider myself the victim of your “Bullying!”  I know I deserve better and I also feel that “We the People” deserve better!

I am shocked to ascertain from my news feed that You, Mr. President, are ignoring the laws of this USA and transporting illegal border crossers to various sections of our Country in the cover of the Night.  Now before you commence doing this in daylight, please be aware that no matter what time of day these activities are completed that they are not in the best interest of our National Security.

This is a portion of a letter that I sent to My Siblings the other day:

“Viewing the World News has become a real challenge in recent weeks as well as our Nation’s Border Crisis.  Not to be political, but we all know what needs to be done by the Government of our Nation!  You can be confident that I, in my daily prayers keep our leaders in mind and I also know that God is in Charge and God’s plan will be executed!!”

 

Please recall what I stated in my 21 December 2021 letter to you:  “You may have noted that I have not included Our Vice President in this letter.  I know that she has plenty to be concerned about in as much as she is in Charge of the Southwest Border.”

 

Therefore as I conclude this letter to you, Please give our Vice President the resources she needs at this Time of Crisis.

 

I also realize that You each are very concerned about Russia and Ukraine as well as China and Taiwan.  Then add to this the North Korea and Iran developments of the last few days and you have plenty to be concerned about to “Protect the Citizens of the USA!” 

 

Then the additional concern of the “Safety of All of Us here in the USA” as we daily learn of the killings our Fellow Americans who are sworn to protect us all!  Then the killings of Children who are often caught in the crossfire!

 

Not a nice situation, but the self-centered focus of the liberals among us have caused many in Leadership Roles to be led astray.  Please keep as your only focus the “Well Being of the Citizens of the USA!”  Please keep our Nation safe and a “Republic” and not a Socialist Country much like what “Venezuela” is today. 

 

You have much to do, but most of the task require that You Use Common Sense!  As students of our USA History please do not fall victim to correcting the errors of the past, but acknowledge that we were not perfect then, but we must strive for a more perfect union as we engage in “Making America Safe” as our Founding Fathers envisioned when they signed our “Constitution” on 17 September 1787.  In my research on this unique document I learned that thirty had served on active military duty, therefore they had a genuine concern on the future of this, their New Nation.  I trust that each of You also feel the same!!

 

Thank You,

Dear Mr. President,

 

I write today because like You I am very concerned about our USA.  Attached please find My concerns as I addressed them yesterday to my duly elected Senators and My Representative for Georgia.

 

Many of My concerns also involve the actions you have taken since you were installed as our President. 

 

Yet when I watch Jen give the Press Briefings I realize that she must be smoking something because the comments just do not fit what is needed for “We the People!’  What a shame that she can not communicate better.  We do not need an economic crisis and that is what I think we are approaching if we continue the excessive spending that our Federal Government is now doing.  I look to you as our President to reign on our Congress (both houses) so that we can continue to be the respected world leader.  If we continue to placate The Communist who control China we will soon be History.  You and I do not need that for our own dear children or even our Grand Children.  From My point of view I look to you as the only person with the authority to resolve our problems.  As you know Congress is not operating with the focus of what is good for the USA.  They appear to me to be focused on what is good for themselves and that is a shame.

 

I Know this is a short letter, but if you review the attachment and continue to strive for what is good for all citizens of the USA will delay the time in the future, if we continue on our current course, where we will have to refer to our fellow people in the USA as “Comrade.”  I sincerely hope and also pray that you as a dedicated “Roman Catholic” believer will continue to conduct our USA’s business for the good of all of us.

 

While I take this opportunity to Wish You and Dr. Jill a Very Blessed Christmas however I know that this letter will be screened, as it should be for any bad stuff such as anthrax at a warehouse in Hyattsville, Maryland so it will be delivered to you safely well after Christmas.

 

Therefore, I wish You and the First Family a Very Prosperous 2022 and urge you to also Lead us in an appropriate manner so we the citizens of the United States of America may also enjoy a prosperous 2022.

 

Thank You,

Not All That Green

Is burying windmill blades that are used for green energy which have become worn out really effective?  Because these blades need to be disposed of and there is presently no way to recycle them.

That’s how green energy works! Who knew? Maybe the people that make them knew. Why, would they let the cat out of the bag? After all, they are government subsidized with taxpayer money. It’s all about the money. Also, politicians do not want those huge eyesores in their backyards.

Right now the average wind farm is about 150 turbines. Each wind turbine needs 80 gallons of oil as a lubricant, and we’re not talking about vegetable oil. This is PAO synthetic oil based on crude… 12,000 gallons of it. That oil needs to be replaced once a year. It is estimated that a little over 3,800 turbines would be needed to power a city the size of New York. That’s 304,000 gallons of refined oil just for one large city. Now you have to calculate every city across the nation, large and small, to find the grand total of yearly oil consumption from “clean energy.”

Where do you think all that oil is coming from? Well, thanks to President Biden, it now comes from our enemies in the Mideast. Not to mention the fact that the large equipment needed to build these wind farms run on petroleum, as well as the equipment required for installation, service, maintenance, and eventual removal.

 

And just how friendly is wind energy anyway? Each turbine requires a footprint of 1.5 acres. So, a wind farm of 150 turbines needs 225 acres. In order to power a city the size of New York you would need 57,000 acres, and who knows the astronomical amount of land needed to power the entire United States. All of which would have to be clear-cut land because trees create a barrier and turbulence that interferes with the 20 mph sustained wind velocity necessary for the turbine to operate properly. Also keep in mind that not all states are suitable for such sustained winds. And, cutting down all those trees is going to really anger a lot of people.

Now lets talk about disposal of inoperable wind turbines. The life span of a modern, top quality, highly efficient wind turbine is 20 years. After that, then what? What happens to those gigantic fiber composite blades? They cannot economically be reused, refurbished, reduced, repurposed, or recycled. Guess what? It’s off to the landfills they go.

And guess what else? They’re already running out of these special landfill spaces for these blades that have already exceeded their usefulness. Those blades are anywhere from 120 ft. to over 200 ft. long and there are three of these blades per turbine. And that is only with 7% of the nation currently being supplied with wind energy. Imagine if we had the other 93% of the nation on the wind grid. 20 years from now you’d have all those unusable blades with no place to dispose of them… then, 20 years after that, and 20 years after that, etc.

Hello, just how green is that? Isn’t it wonderful how wind energy people are looking out for the world?

And this isn’t even reflecting upon electric cars. The electric grid in this country can’t even handle the use of air conditioners during a heat wave and they’re going to be able to handle the daily charging of everyone’s electric car?





 And what happens to the inoperable used batteries that can’t be recycled or put into landfills because of the chemicals in the batteries? No one ever mentions that.

Ah, green energy is such a wonderful thing.

Garden Stroll 

Thus far this Year I have been conducting the Garden Strolls on the First Day of each Month.  Today is an exception.  The flowers were lovely looking and the Morning was overcast so no shadows.  Sometimes I also use the Flash option to acquire a better picture.


Enjoy the Pictures.

Memories 

"Two Great Kids"

Today, 19 February 2022 as I observe 82 Years on this Planet I was viewing pictures from the Shoe Box.  These were taken in the 1980s when Our Sons were much younger.









Of course I also saw this picture from My 35th Birthday when I was initiated as a Chief Petty Officer in our U. S. Navy.  Here is a picture as I was singing Anchors Aweigh.


Of course as you can tell I am holding the lyrics and I sang all three verses!

Anchors Aweigh

 

Stand Navy out to sea, fight our battle cry!
We'll never change our course so vicious foes steer shy-y-y-y!
Roll out the TNT, anchors aweigh!
Sail on to victory, and sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!

Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh!
Farewell to Foreign Shores, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay;
Through our last night ashore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more, here's wishing you a happy voyage home!

Blue of the mighty deep, Gold of God's great sun;
Let these our colors be, Till All of time be done-n-n-ne;
On seven seas we learn, Navy's stern call:
Faith, courage, service true, With honor over, honor over all.

Garden Stroll

Today we feature Helleborus commonly known as "Lenten Roses!"

This is what I found for "Helleborus Niger" quoted from the Missouri Botanical Garden Website:

"Best grown in moist, organically rich, humusy, neutral to alkaline, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Prefers light to moderate shade. Locate plants in sheltered locations in areas protected from cold winter winds. Plants usually take several years to establish. Clumps may be divided for propagation, but clumps never require division and will form and grow best when left undisturbed. Plants may self-seed in optimum growing conditions. This species is considered to be more difficult to grow than the similar but later blooming Helleborus orientalis."

These pictures are from My Garden here In Middle Georgia:
