Why and How New Orleans Became a ShitHole and How to Fix It:

12/1/19:  New Orleans Louisiana is a ShitHole.  Let me rephrase that - MOST of New Orleans is a ShitHole.  Allow me to explain:

Certain areas, boundaries, districts, and zip-codes of New Orleans are practically picture perfect.  Low-crime, great schools, beautiful houses w/gardens, great neighbors, etc....  a wonderful neighborhood.  But I can assure you, very few parts of New Orleans are as described.  In fact, travel outside of certain "Uptown" areas and certain parts of "Lakeview", and you're in for a rude awakening.

When people think of New Orleans, they think of a few things:

•  The French Quarter
• The New Orleans Saints
• Mardi Gras
• Ghetto rap/bounce music
•  Food 

Here's the reality:
The French Quarter is a nice place to visit.   To see the sites, view it's history, hear the music, taste the food, etc....  but for the most part it's gross.  Locals avoid it - for good reason.  It's a tourist trap plain & simple.  It smells horrible.  It's WAAY over-priced.  Nights & weekends, it's a hot-spot for tourist based crime such as pick-pockets, scams, cons, or any way to get money.  The only people who actually live in the French Quarter are fags, people who rent rooms by the week (starving/horrible artists, strippers, hookers, dope addicts, or drifters) or old people who have lived there their entire life.  If you're planning on visiting New Orleans, spend your time and money on other things that are way more fun and interesting.  Take a riverboat cruise.   Take a swamp tour.

The Saints:
Our NFL team is practically the only thing that most New Orleanians agree on.  We live & die by our beloved Saints. As of writing this blog post, I honestly think that Drew Brees could run for Mayor of New Orleans and win by a land-slide.  If the Saints win another SBowl with Drew Brees as quarterback, he would be elected Governor of LA without even being on the ballot.  We take our Saints that seriously.

Mardi Gras:
I have a love/hate relationship with Mardi-Gras.  For the most part I'm over it.  I grew up here so I've witnessed lots of parades.  Even rode in a few (which is a BLAST by the way - I highly recommend it).  But Mardi-Gras is becoming a ghetto hood-rat, hoochie-momma, booty-poppin, twerkin, pot-smoking, twerk fest that is simply disgusting.  Even the "white" areas of Mardi-Gras are being infiltrated with rude, teeth sucking, lip-smacking, hair-weave having, titty-tattoo'd hood-rats and their hood-rat kids.  Here's what you will encounter at Mardi Gras at the most popular parades in New Orleans and Metairie:

-  Parade with both men & women riders:  The men throw to hot chicks.  Older men throw to children, milf's and hot chicks.  Women throw to children and their friends.  If you are lucky enough to be accompanied by either a hot chick, milf, or a child, chances are some minority adult will stand in front of you, your child or your hot chick and/or milf  in order to snag a $.30 pair of beads.

-  Parade with only men riders:  If you're NOT a hot chick or a child, forget it.  You ain't catchin shit unless you know someone who is or are friends with a krewe member.  It's that simple.

-  Parade with only women riders:  Most female parade krewe's are white ladies, girls & women.  Especially in Metairie (a mostly white area).  So in these parades, these females throw to blacks and kids.  If you're black with small children, you're in for a treat and will catch a LOT of stuff.  Why you may ask?  Because for some reason these white females feel they "owe" black people.  It's as if they're paying restitution and reparations for their whiteness....  Yeah, stupid I know, but it's true.

 -  Parade with only black riders:  If you're white, you might as well find a nice comfortable location, on a balcony, with air-conditioning, open bar, buffet and toilet, and just watch the spectacle.  It will be entertaining as you'll see and hear a variety of....  ummm....  "behaviors".  Forget about catching anything.  If you're white, you're lucky if you're able to pick up a pair of discarded/broken beads off of the ground.  However you WILL witness all types of twerking, booty-poppin, stripper-dancing, profanity laced rap songs, adults with children singing along to all sorts of disgusting, high-energy, pornographic content.  You will also witness and hear many choice curse words while you watch exactly what certain people are capable of and are willing to do for beads and trinkets.  It's seriously like watching a zoo-keeper feed the animals and watching them fight over food.  BUT IT IS ENTERTAINING TO WATCH!

 I do hope my lovable city will begin to improve although it doesn't seem like that's going to happen.  You see, the city is primarily black.  Most white people have moved out of the city limits (other than uptown).  So black mayors, black politicians, black judges and black leaders are in control.  Let's see how that turns out.  So far, our black female mayor has done nothing except removed historic monuments, left a fallen building hazard downtown (with 2 dead bodies in it) and has committing tax-fraud.  Not bad huh?

Am I A Miserable Old Man?

     My wife says I'm just a miserable old man.  She says I find fault in everyone and every situation.  She says that I'm only happy when other people are miserable like me. To find pleasure in the misfortune of others perhaps?  Nah.  I'm just a realist.  I call out bullshit when I hear it.  I shoot from the hip, I speak my mind (whether you want me to or not), I'm loud and I'm obnoxious.  For the purposes of this blog entry, I will use the word "hate" as sort of an index of what pisses me off.  Not actual "hatred", but more "dislike".  The word "hate" has more dramatic affect. I hate most people in some way, shape or form.  Other than my close family members and close personal friends, I pretty much hate everyone else.  Allow me to explain:

I hate people on social media.  I hate the people who take pics of their food and post it.  I hate people who post uplifting generic quotes.  I hate people who post pics of their crafts.  I hate the people who post bible quotes.  I hate the people who post about how miserable they are.  I hate the people who post how miserable they are and then decline to answer "why"?  I hate the people who post pics of their pets.  I hate the people who post political messages.  I hate the people who post/share stupid games.  I hate people who take polls on social media.  I hate people who post those stupid random information games (how many tattoos?  how many states have you visited?  have you ever broken a bone?  have you ever been arrested?)  < that dumb shit.  I hate people who use those dumb ass filters - wolf ears, cat ears, whiskers, devil horns, etc....   I hate the divorced couple who slams their ex.  I hate the people who post how great their life is.  I hate the people that post about how horrible their life is.

I hate paying taxes for things that I don't use or need. I hate the people that take advantage of my taxes. I've never once needed or wanted government assistance, ever.  I don't mind paying taxes for our fire-department, police-department, basic services (roads, sewerage, garbage collection, etc...) and things like that.  But after researching how my tax dollars are spent, I realized I was assisting in supporting people that are lazy, ignorant, worthless and useless.  Over 60% of my tax dollars are spent on:

• Welfare
• Food-Stamps
• Health-care (free hospitals, abortions, clinics, prescription drugs)
• Public Housing
• Education 

So let me get this straight - I have a job that I get paid to do.  I spend that EARNED money on certain things to support myself and my family.  Things such as food, clothing, shelter, health-insurance, schooling for my children, and to provide life's necessities.   So once I'm done paying for me and my family, I then have to pay for other people?  When did I become financially responsible for non-family members?  When did I become responsible for those who've made poor life choices?  Why am I responsible to provide you with food, clothing, shelter, health-care, education or housing?  No one GAVE me anything so why should I be forced to give YOU anything?  It doesn't make sense and I hate it.  As a matter of fact I'd consider it theft.  To take something that you haven't earned or doesn't belong to you.

It has nothing to do with being heartless or mean.  If I chose to help others, it's my choice and I can give to whatever charity I choose.  Otherwise it's theft.

Abortion? I'm PRO-(my)LIFE

My thoughts on abortion:

After MUCH thought, much consideration, much research, many discussions and hearing all sides of each argument….   Here are my thoughts:   Due to today’s society, I DON”T CARE!

Allow me to explain:

Personally, I would NEVER, EVER push for an abortion – EVER.  I’m smart enough to know NOT to impregnate a female unless a child is planned through marriage and stability.  It’s that simple.   I would NEVER purposely end a human life, period.  Yes, life starts at conception – a completely separate DNA code is generated upon conception.  To that I have no doubt.   With that said, I’m pro-four-choices:  Abstinence, contraception, adoption and mother/fatherhood.  If you’re not ready to be a parent, then don’t have sex.  

However – in today’s society, where people are NOT held accountable for their actions, go right ahead and kill as many babies as necessary to rid our world of human filth.  I look at abortion as any other typical murder committed by people who do not value the importance of life.  I would NEVER, EVER kill/murder another human being.   I would never intentionally do harm to another person.  I would not steal, rob, hurt, injure or cause pain to another person intentionally.  That’s where I differ from others – the intent.  

90% of abortions are performed on women who are inconvenienced with a pregnancy.  A VERY small portion of abortions are performed on rape and/or incest victims – less than .05%.  9.5% are performed when the mother’s life is in danger.  Again, 90% of abortions are done simply because a man and a woman were being too stupid, too lazy, too ignorant, too horny, and too irresponsible and know how easy it is to end a human life without consequence.  So yes, I’d prefer these people (90%) to NOT procreate and reproduce.  Ignorance breeds ignorance.  Of those 90%, the vast majority of abortions are performed on black women.  Per a 2017 study, a black woman is 5 times more likely to have an abortion than a white woman.  Per the same study, 8 out of every 10 women who had an abortion was black.

I view abortion the same as I do any other senseless murder.  Stupidity and ignorance is the prime factor.  When I read about or see the staggering murder rate of black men committed by other black men, I realize they're simply eliminating other people that could do harm to others.  Yes, it’s a racial thing. 

Why is abortion legal?  Think about why white people move out of a neighborhood when black people start moving in…..  It’s because white people know that sooner or later, the crime will rise, drugs will enter, neighborhoods will start looking shitty and property value will go down.  That’s not racism – it’s a fact.  For the most part, black people do NOT value family like white people do.  How often do you see a white woman with 6 kids with 5 different daddies?   Not very often.  Abortion is similar – it’s like black-on-black crime.  Go ahead and kill each other and thin the herd.  We don’t care.  In fact you’re doing us a favor by killing each other because the rest of us won’t have to pay higher taxes to support you when you don’t want to work for a living.  Just as long as you don’t bring it to my neighborhood, I’m fine with it just like I’m fine with abortions for ignorant people.  I don’t want ignorant people producing more ignorance.  Isn’t that common sense?  

Planned Parenthood, along with other abortion clinics, along with the half a billion dollars the US Federal Government gives to those abortionists, is nothing more than black genocide.  Let them continue to kill each other.  If they’re ok with it, so am I.  *Remember, ignorance breeds ignorance. 

The funny part is:  Somehow we’ve convinced lots of people that “it’s the woman’s choice”.  That’s funny.  Sorry ladies, but it was never your choice to systematically and successfully eliminate future generations of ignorance.  You just think it is.

So yes, please continue to thin the herd and let natural selection take its course.  Survival of the fittest so to speak.  Instead of fighting and arguing, we should be thanking you!

I’m OUT!

Schools in South Louisiana / NOLA

                        FOR THE RECORD:

• My wife is a school teacher with over 25 years experience with a degree in education.  She's taught elementary and secondary education during that time.  
• My business/job is low-voltage technology, I.T. and audio/visual.  Much of my business is with both public schools and private schools.

My wife and I both went to public schools.  In fact, we went to the same Middle School and both graduated from the same public High School.  My oldest daughter went to a public elementary school.  During the 5 years my daughter was in public elem school, my wife was teaching at a public Middle school.  By the end of my daughters 5th grade year, my wife had 20 years of public school teaching (the minimum number of years to gain retirement benefits).  Due to multiple factors, we decided to make a major change:

We live in a great neighborhood that is known for being safe, secure, minimal crime and a good place to raise children.  Property taxes are fairly high, but that's fine with us because it keeps our area free of....  ummm.....??  certain classes of undesirable people.  Perfect!

During the 6 years my daughter was in public elementary school AND the many years my wife teaching at a public middle-school, the public school system declined rapidly.  Here's how and why:

• Elected officials decided to expand and re-zone public school boundaries which allowed kids from other neighborhoods/parishes to enroll in different schools.
• Due to the above expansion/re-zoning, the school had to accept certain kids
• Equivalency testing was reduced 
• Basic Skills Testing was reduced
• Mandatory passing scores/grades were reduced
• To meet mandatory minority quotas, kids from any area were allowed to enroll
• Parent participation dropped
• Good/smart students transferred
• Good teachers quit
• Teacher hiring standards were lowered
• Unqualified teachers were hired
• Students weren't learning correctly
• Higher drop out rate
• Ignorance at an all time high

 So, after my daughter's 5th grade year and after my wife's 20th year of teaching, we made changes.  My wife retired from the Public School system and now collects retirement benefits.  She was hired by a private school in our same area.  So now she gets two paychecks.  We pulled my daughter out of public school and put her in private school (same private school my wife teaches at). Needless to say, the Private School in question is majority white teachers and white students.

Almost immediately, I noticed a major change.  They both worked harder.  Both spoke more clearly.  Both changed habits.  Both focused more on personal behaviors rather than blaming others.  It was like night & day.  My wife enjoyed teaching again.  My daughter didn't "hate" school anymore.  They both participated in school activities and school spirit (something they haven't done previously).  My daughter made better grades, participated in class more, and had more friends.  After one year, my wife was put in charge of different educational learning programs.  Obviously, we're better off.

My point is this:
Our once great public school(s) is now a breeding ground for ignorance.  Due to lowering basic skills standards, students are permitted to graduate.  With this HS diploma, they go to a publicly funded college (usually on some sort of minority program and/or student loans they never pay back).  Since it's publicly funded, the college professors are paid the minimum - so obviously hiring standards are low.  They professors give them passing grades due to meeting a quota of pass/fail rates so they can continue to get public funding.  Once graduated with an undeserved degree, the only job they can get is with public school systems - *Remember, they still have no skills.  And the cycle starts all over again.

Here's an example:
During a Friday night football game between <our> private school and a local public school, I overheard a conversation between a teacher, parent & student from the opposing team school.  It went like this:
(Teacher):  "HEEEY baby, where Teesha at?"
(Parent):  "She out dere doin hur thang"
(Teacher):  "HUUUH?  Whay she at?  I had lookded fo hur but I aint seent hu"
(Parent):  "She out dere, u herd me?  She be by Trinity n Mercedes up by da side"
(Student):  "U aint seent hu?  I fitna go by dem"
(Parent):  "U gone see dem....  day be cheerin by da udda side"
(Teacher):  "Aight den....  when u see hu tell hu I had said wutz up girl"

This was an actual conversation.  I know this was a teacher due to my wife recognizing her from the previous public school she used to work for.  It was obvious the other woman was the mother since she had an airbrushed shirt that had a picture of Teesha and said "Teesha 'baby-girl' Ja**son).  Yes, this was an actual conversation.

Some may say that my pointing this out is deemed as racist and/or racism.  Or bigotry.  My answer is simple - NO.  It's neither.  It's a downward spiral into ignorance.  It's an example of ignorance, raising ignorance, taught by ignorance.  Nothing more.  And these are the people that are not only raising our future generations, but also teaching them.

Too Common In NOLA:

    I heard a very interesting interview today on our local New Orleans AM News Radio station.  It was an interview with our District Attorney regarding a 14y/o criminal who is being held on a $900,000.00 bond in the Juvenile Detention Center.  Yep, that's correct - a $900k bond.  A small bit of background & history:

The kid is currently 14 as of 10/9/19.  Since early January 2018, this kid has been arrested 28 times including multiple arrests for attempted murder, burglary, car-jacking, assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, aggravated robbery, aggravated battery, illegal firearm possession, drug possession, drug possession with intent to distribute, destruction of public AND private property, truancy and attempted sexual assault.  Again, the kid is 14 and this is his record for slightly less than the past 2 years.  Per the police reports, this kid is part of a group of young males who's targets include the elderly, women, other young people, store clerks, pedestrians, vehicle drivers, parked cars, pedestrians, college students, taxi/uber drivers and delivery men.

The NOLA District Attorney went on local news radio and described how this kid would only spend a MAXIMUM of 6 years behind bars - until his 21st birthday.  He went on to say how during this 6 year period, it was "our job and responsibility to rehabilitate this young person by providing tax dollars for his education, job skills, social programs, mental health issues, substance abuse, drug-dependency and legal monitoring after his release.

I'm sorry Mr. Cannizzaro, but NO.  THAT IS NOT WHAT MY TAX DOLLARS SHOULD BE USED FOR!!   

During the interview, NOT once did the show host mention or ask about this kids parents.  Where are they?  Notice not once did I mention the race of this 14y/o kid.  Take a guess.....  Hmmmm....

Call me whatever adjective you chose.  Racist, bigot, nationalist, supremacist, whatever.  But this kid needs to be disposed of.  Yep, that's right - a 14y/o kid who's demonstrated behavior that rivals Satan's spawn should be thrown away, gotten rid of, and eliminated.  The world will be a better place without him.  To those of you who say this is heartless, too harsh, mean or hateful:  Eventually he WILL murder someone and sentenced to death.  It's inevitable.  Why waste time, money and a potential innocent victim?  Eliminate this poisonous disease before it grows. 

What is Socialism - Theft?

     Our country seems to be facing a virtual turning point.  We have two political parties at odds with each other over social topics.  Topics such as racism, fascism, socialism or other "ism's" are at the forefront of political topics.  Lot's of people consider Socialism to be the correct course of action and if you disagree with those people, you are labelled a racist or a fascist regardless of reasons.  What those people do not understand, and will never understand, is that a socialist society is based on the idea of forceful taking of goods, services, property and money from one group of people and giving it to another group of people.  A society where no one is considered "rich" and no one is considered "poor".  In other words, removing choices and decisions (good or bad) and forced to share goods, services, property and money.

Merriam-Webster Definition of "Theft":
"The act of stealing" or "felonious taking and removal of ones personal property with the intent of depriving the rightful owner of it" 

But a socialist society is supposed to SHARE all goods, services, property and money, right?  Notice this retort usually comes from those people that do not have anything of value to "share".  In other words, what happens if you don't have anything I want?  Do I have the CHOICE to decide which goods, services, properties, and money I wish to share?  Is it my choice to decide which goods, services, properties and money you share with me?  If I decide I don't want to share with someone, is that ok? 

If you're a Socialist and your answer to the above questions is "NO":

• This is called "Theft" and or "Stealing" - (see above for the definitions)
• This way of thinking eliminates drive and desire for a better life

If you answered "YES" to the above questions:

•  That's called Capitalism and yes, that's a good thing
• The ability to trade goods, services, property or money for something of EQUAL value.

This laptop I'm writing this on.  The Smart Phone I'm using to check my messages,  the flat-screen TV I'm watching, the name-brand shoes I'm wearing, the house that I purchased, the cars in my driveway, and everything else in my home was supplied via capitalism.  I'm able to acquire those things because I worked and traded a skill for money.  I then used that money to purchase things.  That's how it works.  I'm sure if my skill-set was less, I would've made less money - and I'm fine with that.  If I want more money, then my skill-set needs to increase.  How hard is that to understand?

 Our US Constitution states "....and the PURSUIT of happiness" - not a guarantee of happiness.  Shouldn't your happiness depend on how much effort you put into the pursuit of it?  It seems as though Socialists and liberals want to change the Constitution to say "Life, Liberty and the Guarantee of Happiness".  Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. 

Here's the deal - if you attempt to take something from me that I've earned and own, by force, in an attempt to make your own pathetic life better......  be prepared to be dealt with quickly, severely and deadly.  That's called protecting my property.  I'm out.

Pro-Life or Pro-Choice - My Thoughts:

Pro-Life or Pro-Choice - My thoughts:

     I'm torn on the issue of abortion.  On one hand I consider abortion murder - as in, the premeditated killing of a human life with malicious intent.  So with that in mind, carrying out the death penalty would be considered "murder".  On the other hand, I also consider abortion a necessary means to controlling population and a means to eliminate the result of poor life choices. The term "Pro-Life" and "Pro-Choice" have become too misleading and misrepresented.

I consider myself "Anti-Pro-Negative-Life-Choices" - quite the oxymoron huh?  Allow me to explain:

I'm pro-marriage.  I believe in morals & values.  I believe a man and a woman should NOT engage in sex until marriage.  But I am also a realist.  I realize unmarried people are going to have sex - and that's the problem.  Today's society is so hell-bent on a "do whatever you want as long as it makes you feel good" mentality that it's practically made everyone blind to the issues.  Seriously! Plan B pill?  Really?  A pill you can take the morning after just in case "you made a mistake"?  What happened to our morals & values?  OOOhhhh....  I know, who am I to make such a judgement?  I'm the guy that you expect to pay for your healthcare, your abortion, your Plan-B and your right to decide how my tax money is spent.  If you chose to have the illegitimate child, I'm the guy you expect to pay for your housing, your child-care, your child's healthcare, your food, your travel and your free cell-phone.  I'm your average Middle-Age White-Male who's made good choices his entire life and now is expected to pay for those that didn't. My outlook and opinion is based on things I've heard, read, seen and witnessed....   many people make poor life choices and expect others to pay for their mistakes.  It's that simple.

On the other hand:
I'm a business-man.  I'm trained to look at profit vs. loss.  A cost analysis if you will.  As a tax-payer, I look at the use of my tax dollars in a similar way.  I remove all emotions and feelings before making decisions that will affect the future of my company.  So when comparing my tax dollar payments and allocations, it costs a lot less money to simply murder the unwanted children rather than support them throughout their life.  I mean let's face it, an abortion is a minimal financial cost when compared to:

• Prenatal visits
• Ultrasounds
• Hospital Visit
• Epidoral
• OBGYN 
• Postnatal visits
• Child wellness visits
• Immunitization
• Formula
• Diapers
• Food
• Housing
• Child-care
• Transportation
• Phone Service
• ETC....

In other words, it's much cheaper and more cost effective for women to simply kill their unborn babies rather than have people like me pay for them.  And since I don't know these people, nor do I care about them, I'm perfectly fine with aborting them.  As a matter of fact and now that I think about it, perhaps the mother should've been aborted too.  A "kill two birds with one stone" sort of situation.

For the record I do support choices.  I support CORRECT choices.  We all should've been taught right-from-wrong and if we didn't, then shame on your parent(s).  I support the CHOICE of abstinence until marriage.  I don't support poor decisions, emotions, feelings and your right to your body when it directly affects me and my tax dollars.

Take welfare and freebies OFF the table and I'm certainly against abortion.  But in our current society where too many folks simply expect hand-outs, welfare, charity and free everything, MY choice is somewhat limited and in that sense, I'm all for abortions. And since most Planned Parenthood and Abortion clinics are in ghetto neighborhoods, I won't even have to see it.  In fact, have all the abortions you want, just don't expect ME to pay for them!
