Dances with Snakes

I told my best friend the other day during one of our regular phone talks about a coral snake I killed with my weed-whacker while finishing up my yard work. He said I was crazy, that I was probably wearing my flip-flops. “No,” I said, “I was barefoot like I usually am.” He laughed. Granted a coral snake is a highly venomous critter but “I’ve been through Harvey, I’ve been blown up, and I’ve danced with poisonous snakes before,” I said. He agreed. And I live in a swamp where there are alligators, water moccasins, numerous bloodsucking and stinging insects, flesh-eating bacteria, and many other dangers I’ve dealt with over the past sixty years. So, it’s no big deal for me but this isn’t the reason for this article.

n interview by Hannity on Fox TV with Sean Penn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfUORitTEBI&t prompted me to write this segment. If you’re going to watch, be sure to do so from beginning to end. If you don’t, you’re wasting your time and I have as well. It’s about President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine. And it’s about the type of people they are. I am one of these—people who have strong beliefs about what is good and right like our founding fathers did and are willing to stand up for what they believe. Some people are builders like the ones who created the great nation of the United States of America and are trying to do so in Ukraine. Others are destroyers like Putin, Biden, Nancy Pelosi, the far-left, and others. It is my belief that the builders are now in the minority in the USA and that is sad.

I grew up wild, free, and barefoot much of my life. I’ve also fought our government most of my time here on earth. That has been a losing battle just like getting one of my many award-winning books on a bestsellers list. The books were inspired by my real life and at least the majority of people are sheep… fake people… not real people like me and others like me who built this great nation and are currently trying to save it. People, in general, don’t read about real people. They read their fantasy books… their romance books… their comic books. You’ll find real stuff here on my website Blog and Videos including the Harvey story, The Day My World Blew up in My Face, and more dancing with snakes at http://www.intoautumn.com

This country has fought socialism for as long as I can remember. Now it embraces it. People are not free though most probably think they are. Sean Penn is real and there were a lot of real people like Ronald Reagan, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and many others but today, President Biden is a wuss. He has “a wishbone where he needs a backbone.” He only has big words about Vladamir Putin but doesn’t have the jewels to back them up.

I’ve fought judges, local and federal courts, senators, and representatives and may not be an expert on what the people who run this country represent but they are a reflection of the majority of the people and it’s not pretty. No democracy before now has lasted over 200 years. There is a reason for this. I can only hope otherwise but there is going to be a lot of chaos and there will be hell on earth for decades to come. Violent crimes will touch you, food and energy availability will not be what it is today, your rights will diminish and this country may face a severe depression and there may even be civil war. Heaven help us if World War III should become a reality. Now is the time to prepare—to learn what you need to survive. Life will change and most of you will not like the change.

My Four Seasons Series will come to life. Book one, Into Autumn, seems to be playing out before my eyes. The story does turn out good in book four, Into Summer, but there is a hell you will soon see here on earth similar to what plays out in my Series. Again, you can find out more at www.https://www.intoautumn.com

or you can find my books on Amazon:

There are snakes and then there are snakes the likes of Putin, XI in China (I call him #11), and the leaders of countries like Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, and the fat kid from North Korea. There is only one way to deal with these people: “Walk softly and carry a big stick” from a speech by Theodore Roosevelt in 1903. Donald Trump didn’t walk softly but he carried the stick. Biden had a stick but he doesn’t know how to use it and tossed it aside for his far-left agenda.

So, the next time you vote, the next time you talk to your friends, the next time you have a big decision to make, remember the immortal words of John F. Kennedy: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”

I’ve created my own little utopia and snakes are not a big problem today though there will always be a few around. There are new dangers and these must be handled in the same manner as I have protected myself from snakes. The world keeps creeping in. The core cause of almost every problem here on earth is the vast human overpopulation of the planet. This problem must also be treated as I have done with the snakes in the area. There will always be snakes and war is a necessary evil and that will never change as the world gets more and more crowded but we as a people must be willing to do what is necessary to see the infestation of humans on this planet is controlled. There are slogans like ‘Black Lives Matter” and “All Lives Matter” when in fact “No Lives Matter” except to you and the small circle around you. Snakes aren’t always in the woods. Our political system and those groups who put them there are plagued with them. Odds are, you are in one of these. You were born with the most complex and cognitive computer anywhere—your brain. Use it for the good of mankind and this planet. Sometimes you must let go of your emotions and the past. Life on this planet is up to you and what you do now. Listen, or not. I’ve done my part. Your future is up to you now. Have a great day.

As a final note, this article was not professionally edited. If you are only concerned about any errors you found, you missed the point and cannot, or will not, change. You are only pissed or offended. You will not make it in the future of this world.
