Fifty Genders And Counting? What?

I want to start this article out by saying that there are two, just two, genders. If you aren’t sure which you are then I suggest you take your clothes off and stand in front of a full length mirror. You have boy parts or girls parts. There you go. Problem solved. What you do with those parts is up to you.

According to an article I saw on line there are now more than 50 genders that have been identified by people. Who these people are I don’t know but I assume they are very whacky people who are laughing as they suck people into their very warped vortex.

We have always had cross dressers and trans people but they were rare and far between because they are rare. The problem is we have allowed a small part of our populace to try and change the gender roles as they have been, and note worked, since God made Adam. It is now “cool” to be trans. We have parents who think their child is trans if they even breath a thought that these parents think is an indicator of a trans issue. A girl that decides to play with a truck or a boy who wants to put on his mom’s nail polish. Then we have the other side of the coin. We now have states that are allowing minors to bypass their parents who say no to hormone therapy or surgery. These are decisions that can forever alter a minor’s life but that doesn’t matter to these extremists. We don’t allow these same minors to vote, buy cigarettes or alcohol or get a drivers license but these idiots think these young people know what they want sexually from their still developing brains. The suicide rate among people who have made these changes and later regret it is far above the rate for the general populace.

Thank God President Trump over turned the trans rules for the military. The military has a job and that job is to protect the United States and its territory and sometimes that is accomplished through violence. It is NOT a social experiment. On top of that you have people joining so they can get free sex change surgery which we as tax payers would pay. Oh, just a heads up to anyone reading this who is considering this type of surgery – parts don’t work like the original model does.

I am appalled that people think it is okay to have a man take part in female sports and then when they win act as though it was a fair event. What the heck!! Then we have municipalities that allow men to go into female bathrooms if they feel they identify as female. A guy doing that should have it explained to him that the only thing he is going to identify as is seriously injured if he doesn’t turn his butt around and go to the men’s room. The number of sexual assaults on women and girls is up drastically in female restrooms. Guess why?

We have cases recently of women who have decided they are men and then give birth. They actually announce that a man gave birth. No, a woman dressed as a man gave birth. Morons!! In case you forgot middle school biology only females with the requisite parts can give birth. No exceptions!!

I am not even going to spend time on these other genders because to be honest with you I don’t understand most of them. I do know that is now cool for young people to claim to be bi-sexual. I sure don’t get that. For goodness sake, pick a team!

My bottom line is this – I don’t care what you do with your body but do not demand that the rest of us change our mores and customs to meet your needs. If you want to live outside the norm and yes, male and female together is the accepted norm, then don’t be surprised if most people are not accommodating. And please quit throwing your decisions in our faces. This country was based on Judeo/Christian values and the foundation for that was the nuclear family with the extended family as the backup. This country did pretty well with that foundation and I fear that God will take his hand off of this wonderful and awesome country if we don’t get back on track. Let us start by putting God back in public schools and as for colleges, well, it is time for alumni to stop giving money to colleges that cater to those who want to be different for the sake of being different. We need to use our pocket books to stop supporting Hollywood that wants to push this nonsense in our faces.

One of the major issues is that too many people think it is wrong to stand up and say, “Enough” to what is going on in our society. As a Christian I am not judging anyone as that is not my job. I am, however, going to fight for the country that I want my grandchildren to live in and it is not the one people who claim there are over 50 genders is trying to create.

Hawaii – Worth the trip?

I want to start out by saying that it was thrilling to go to Hawaii because it was my 50th state. I had spent time in all of the other 49 so this trip was special for me and my daughter Sara as it was her 50th also.

I also want to state that there are some beautiful sights to see in Hawaii that you won’t see in any of the other states. The people were very warm and friendly. Sadly, the cost of living in this beautiful state is off the charts. In fact a new report from the federal government showed that Hawaii has the lowest bang for a buck in the Nation. A dollar is only worth 84 cents. New York it is 86 cents, California, 87 cents and the District of Columbia 86 cents. Please note these are some of the most liberal states in the United States and they have the highest homelessness, residents leaving the state as well as all kinds of benefits for illegal immigrants. In my state, Georgia, a dollar is worth $1.09. That is a big difference when you start to figure the difference on a hundred thousand dollars.

However, the Department of Tourism and television shows do not show the real Hawaii. You see the real Hawaii is much more depressing than I ever imagined. Instead of paying over $200.00 a person to be carted around some of the cities we rented a car and went on our own. GPS is awesome!! This meant we were able to go off the established routes that were given to us and see the real Hawaii. There were miles of roads with the most abject housing you can imagine. Some of it looked third world level. In fact, areas that had been hit by the lava from the eruption last year were obliterated. When I asked a gentleman if all this raised the price of homeowners insurance, such as what happened in Florida after the hurricanes, he said no. I was surprised and he explained to me that most of the houses were built without permits and as such didn’t qualify for insurance. I was dumbfounded. He said that a lot of people live in unpermitted houses. It raised the fire concern but since they don’t qualify for insurance it doesn’t affect everyone else. I guess the neighbors and first responders don’t count. We were stunned at this fact. I never saw these sections of Hawaii while watching Hawaii 5 O. Guess they don’t want to share those areas with their TV audience.

The number of homeless people shocked us. I know this is a serious problem in numerous cities throughout the country but for some reason didn’t expect to see the number I did in Hawaii. I was told that some are homeless because of cut backs in benefits and options for the mentally ill but that in a lot of cases it is because of drugs and the high cost of housing which has forced many to the streets. As a Conservative I feel compelled to point out that Hawaii, like Los Angeles and most other cities with these same issues is run by Liberals.

I am curious if the state has a Board of Health. Restaurants only show passed or failed on their certificates. I can’t help but wonder if they passed by a hair or was their place squeaky clean? Bathrooms everywhere were filthy and I mean everywhere. Even nicer restaurants had you thinking of the worse truck stop you had ever been to in your life.

Speaking of restaurants we were stunned at the cost of eating out. Eating a lunch at an establishment on par with, say, Applebee’s or Chili’s was off the charts. Lunch for three easily came in at $80 to $100 by the time you added drinks and taxes. A burger meal at a fast food establishment that would cost you roughly $7.00 on the main land can cost you $10.00 or more in Hawaii. Speaking of the high cost of living; I understand that everything has to be carted in but the added taxes are ridiculous and make everything extremely high priced.

If you and a mate or significant other are thinking about moving to Hawaii, think again. If you make seventy five thousand dollars on the mainland that same amount of money will have you living in what people on the mainland refer to as slum conditions. Most people work two or even three jobs just to make ends meet and they will never own their own home.

Now, please understand that I would love to see an industrial use for old plastic bags. Since no one has come up with one I am all for eliminating them, however, in Hawaii this is a major concern and I mean major. Not, the homeless, the high cost of living, people living in fire traps etc. but the plastic bags is their top priority. Due to this concern you can not get plastic or paper bags. They will, however, sell you canvas bags for anywhere from $3.99 to $7.99 unless you bring one with you.

Was the cruise to Hawaii worth it? Yes, the sights are beautiful. However, keep an open mind regarding what they will tell you is paradise. Avoid most of the side trips from the cruise. Rent a car for excursions that are basically a bus trip that will cost you dearly per person. In places where there are several sights being shown use the Hop On Hop Off option. These are buses that cost $20 a day per person and go to the same places the $200 or more person cruise bus is going to stop at. You won’t mind as much the high cost of many of the water activities if you haven’t paid through your teeth just to get to the location. Try to eat as often as possible on the ship. When you are gone for the day you will see people handing out coupons for specials or buy one get one meals at very nice places. When signing up for the cruise ask the cruise line if they are offering any specials that include free air fare from California to Hawaii and back as well as free nights in hotels in Hawaii.

If you or a loved one is confined to a wheel chair you will find the islands are not very wheel chair accessible. This is mainly because the islands are made of volcanic material and roads and sidewalks are very rocky.

If I won a contest and it was a week cruise and I had to choose between Alaska and Hawaii my choice would be Alaska hands down. That said I would like to go back to Oahu for a couple of days as I didn’t get to go to Pearl Harbor or some of the other sites on that Island. Then back to the main land as I sure can’t afford “paradise” as the local’s keep calling their state.
