You NEED SteadyStraps

Last week I attended FreedomFest 2021 virtually and one of the sponsors for the day was SteadyStraps. So I checked out the website, learned about the company and thought, “Oh, what a clever idea.”

But then the host of the virtual event, Rich “Trigger” Bontrager, talked about using SteadyStraps from his personal perspective as he introduced Larry Walters and Rich made me think again, “Maybe I need to buy one to check it out.”

So just as I was looking at which one strap to buy and try out, you know, to see if it was too good to be true… my name was called in a special giveaway drawing for the attendees of virtual FreedomFest. It pleased me greatly for I had not yet placed my order. I had won not one but THREE PATRIOTIC SteadyStraps!

Yayeee for Me!

Definitely worth purchasing three! You save 10% and they are so easy to change out for different occasions!

Anyway, knowing I had three free straps coming I thought, “Hey, it would be nice to share my good fortune and support a fellow entreprneur by purchasing three straps to give to friends.”

So I did. However, it was a little difficult to choose from the many great collections offered. If my budget would have allowed it I would have purchased twelve! (Seriously. I want more.)

The moment I put my SteadyStrap on my phone I was beyond pleased! What I saw and learned about SteadyStraps from their site is exactly what I got! Exactly!

SteadyStraps are exactly what they say they are, from ease of installation to quality of the brand. The fabric is as soft, the stitching is very sturdy, and the color process used is as they say it is. It is an amazingly simple product that does not skimp on quality.

The SteadyStraps are easily, easily, easily adjustable. My husand is 6 foot tall and he has pretty big hands but the SteadyStrap works perfectly for him. My hands are average sized. Adjusting the strap to get it just perfect for me and trying to see how tight I could get was absolutely easy-peasy.

Shipping is included in the price of the item and I got mine within a few days of ordering them. I asked if I could order three and have my winning three shipped together and it was done as asked so customer service is fabulous and top notch! What is so cool is the SteadyStraps fit into a number 10 envelope so shipping is a breeze actually.

Honestly, SteadyStraps is the most useful item you need and did not know it until you purchased one, two, I mean three!

China’s God: Ask Li Schoolland

This is an absolutely powerful conversation with Li Schoolland as she explains her life growing up with CHINA’S SOCIALIST GOD.

As you listen to Li, ask yourself these questions:

  • Why no families?
  • Why deny children hugs from and connections to their parents?
  • Why would a leader deny God’s power and divinity?
  • Why would a leader teach his people God was less powerful than man?
  • Why would a leader teach that people would win over God?
  • What were the effects of government making nature better?
  • What are the measurable outcomes of government run programs?

Now ask yourself:

  • Who or what does Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and their Democrat cohorts worship?
  • Who do they think is more powerful? You? Them? God?
  • And who do they ask you to put your trust in? Them? God?
  • What are the womb to the tomb education policies of the federal government?
  • Why do the progressive policies keep targeting children as young as possible (pre-K, infants and infants and toddlers)?
  • Who is demanding control of your child’s education?
  • What is curriculum being taught to children?
  • How does partnering expand government overreach?
  • How are they making people poor and dependent upon Government funding?
  • What types of scorched earth policies do Nancy and Chuck and their party support?

ADDITIONAL READING/RESEARCH:

By the way, once you let the Government in your home, your private property, you wave all rights to privacy.

Also, which of the Government Programs recognize that Parental Rights trump Government Overreach?

Dear Gabby

It has taken me some time to post this in response to your annual recollection of a horrible day for you. So there is absolutely no confusion, I am thrilled for your recovery and #resilience of the last 10 years. However, I am a bit less thrilled with what could be seen as a sanctimonious pander play to promote your party platform of #Control. So after weeks of holding this post to truly ponder my personal thoughts and feelings, I am ready to suggest that you should #FrameTheDebate, not use emotional rhetoric to further explain your thinking.


First of all the man who took the shots at you was a suffering schizophrenic and there were plenty of warning signs that he was unstable and in need of care. His story well illustrates why, as Daniel Greenfield discusses, We Need Crazy and Criminal Control. It is a fascinating thing that there is not more of an expressive concern, more compassion and forgiveness from you about him or about how to move forward in helping disturbed or disabled people like him in light of what happened 10 years ago.

Why is it you seem to assault law abiding citizens instead of offering help for the crazies? And where do stand on the suppression of the criminal? Do you #BackTheBlue? Are you all in to fully fund and support the excellent police force that is filled with honest and good cops? Why do you seem to make good people look evil when the crazy and criminal element is the real issue?


Second of all, you are right. There is no magic recovery, especially when the people, voters, taxpayers, have been abused for years by “alleged” corrupt politicians, politicians who make millions off their elected positions or find ways to make millions to get into a political position. And there is no magic recovery when many politicians appear to do so out of the taxpayer pockets.

There is no magic recovery when there is an inequality of equal application of the law when it comes to holding people accountable for the #4DeadAmericans, #Benghazigate, #Extortion17, #SPYGATE, #HillarysServer, #HillaryPhones, #FauciLies and so many other scandals that have plagued the nation, many at the alleged hands of your party and party supporters. #JamesComey #PeterStrzok #LisaPage #BigTech #AndrewMcCabe

There will never be a magic recovery for all those who have been silenced at the hand of Politicians, by #DeepState men and women, and the Mainstream Media for their tortuous treatment of people like Carter Page, General Flynn, KT McFarland, Sharyl Attkisson, James Rosen and others allegedly harrassed during the Obama years.

How do the disenfranchised grieve what is lost, stollen from them actually, but move on with determination? How do you suggest people reckon with the liars and deceivers in order to move forward while being continuously suppressed, oppressed, and plundered through excessive taxation and policies designed to keep them subjected to bureaucratic suppressors?

#COVID19 #Omnibus #Cromnibus #TaxBurdens

Yes. Revel in your joy and your successes from your amazing recovery BUT #NEVERFORGET, never forget to acknowledge the many people who do not have your financial support from millionaire donor friends or have your current living wage of between 9-27 Million dollars that your husband magically made. And never forget the lives silenced or the voices of the living being ignored and silenced, voices that could tell tales to truly move forward with their lives in a more optimistic fashion like you if they were granted media attention as you have been afforded.

Arizona Politics: Take a look, Part One

New to Arizona and the politics of Arizona I have been working to chain information in order to get a picture of what is going on here.  Apparently, it is far worse than I expected, anticipated, or even dreamed of for a western state.

Back in the late 1990’s I remember reading how the progressive left was making plans to move their people into communities to influence and turn communities away from conservative values towards socialism. The Progressives understood it would take time to make changes but someone, I have forgotten who, had the funds to physically begin moving progressive believers around the country to work for social change. That was their plan. Paid progressives, willing to do the bidding of a puppet master to physically move where needed to influence and flip cities and counties, and eventually take over a state. (Cultists anyone?)

Now add to that almost 20 years and here we are, gobsmacked with the Arizona Blues. 

Mark Kelly, Astronaut and Millionare within 8 years time, really? How’d he get to be so wealthy?

Eight years later in 2019, Kelly had to file his first financial disclosures for his run against GOP Arizona Sen. Martha McSally. According to The Arizona Republic, his net worth was between $10 million and $27 million. (It’s now between $9 million and $27 million, the paper said, citing a financial disclosure report filed in August.)

This would, as The Republic reported, be “an amount that would make him among the wealthiest people in Congress at the time.”

Even at the low end, $9 million is more than quadruple what the couple was worth in 2011. And $27 million represents a nearly 13-fold increase from that $2.1 million figure.

World View, which received $22.1 million in investments from 2014 to 2016, did not disclose how much of that was from Tencent, whose CEO is listed as the wealthiest Chinese citizen.

When Pima County subsequently built a $15 million facility for World View, the firm’s leaders said they intended to transport tourists to the edge of space. However, no stratospheric tourists ever took those rides — although some individuals paid deposits on the $75,000 tickets.

Despite the failure of the company to produce the results it had promised, it has managed to maintain a positive relationship with county officials.

County officials signed a $2 million agreement in May with World View to produce surgical gowns “to aid in the protection during the pandemic outbreak of COVID-19.”

According to the “Master Agreement,” signed on May 8 by the county procurement officer, the unit price for each surgical gown to be made for the county is $3.25.  The first year of the contract — which includes four more annual renewal options — is for $400,000.

Arizona’s Mark Kelly Slammed PPP While His Company Reaped Its Benefits

A July 7 report by the Arizona Republic found that according to federal records, World View Enterprises took between $1 million and $2 million in PPP cash to preserve 38 jobs and return 17 employees from furlough. Arizona Democratic Senate candidate Mark Kelly, who cofounded the firm and remains an investor in it, previously criticized the program as being beholden to “big banks.”

Seriously, from balloon blow outs and non-existing stratospheric rides to surgical gowns and taxpayer bailouts. That’s what #DarkMoney and socialist voters are giving Arizona, America, and the Senate.

Sound Familiar? Chant it with me: #FillThatSwamp

Soros has already effectively inserted himself into the criminal justice system by slowly transforming it—again through massive investment—via local district attorneys’ races. Since 2015, Soros has spent at least $17 million to swing district attorney races in states such as Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Arizona—key battlegrounds targeted by Democrats for takeover.

I WON! — Chicken Salad Chick

 Yesterday I got a telephone notification that my business card had been pulled as the winner for a lunch, on the house, at Chicken Salad Chick on Zelda Road. So today we, Charlie Ross, Honey-do and I, went there for lunch.

I am sorry that I did not take a photo before we chowed into our lunches. Guess that is the best commentary on how delicious the food is! Mine is the soup and Old Fashioned chicken salad scoop. The reason for the three cookies?  One, to save the 2 and half year old from himself. The Honey-do put his cookie on my plate in solidarity so the little one did not have a fit over having his cookie held hostage until he ate mac-n-cheese and fruit cup first. Honey-do had the turkey-bacon-club with a scoop of the Buffalo chicken salad.  Each meal came with a crisp slice of dill pickle.

The crew is always kind and attentive at the Zelda Road location. The food is, as previously mentioned, delicious and consistently so therefore winning a complimentary lunch at a place I, and the We, enjoy going to made it taste that much better!

It is just as the Chicken Salad Chick says:

Good Food Brings People Together.Serving Chicken Salad and Nourishing the Soul.

Thank goodness for ‘lectric blankies

Compared to last winter in Montgomery, well, there is no comparison to this winter. All I can say is I love my little space heater and my dual control electric blanket.

And my Dearfoam cable knit faux shearling slippers.  

And my Walmart sweatpants. 

And my Atlas Shrugged Crew Hoodie Sweatshirt that zips.

And my hot cocoa cup from KrispyKreme down the street. 

But mostly, I am thankful for my ‘lectric blankey.

Working for Rewards: Qualfied Workers

This is an offical I AM OLD post. Snowflakes, melt away to your safe space. This is not for you.

I read this post by Mike Rowe and this quote is something I hear over and over and over again from several sources in other words:

“Currently, thousands of employers are struggling to find qualified workers to fix our cars and build our houses and keep our pipes connected.”

Why is that? With so many people whining and complaining about struggling, what is the profound disconnection? What is the profound problem with the American Skills Gap? 

What about Work Ethic? 

All the hubbub about encouraging children or adults with some sort of motivational reward they can work toward to improve their behavior is really not the problem. 

Perhaps the discussions ought to be focused on the intrinsic value of work and intrinsic motivation needed to discover that any work is hard work.  

The joy and satisfaction in accomplishing the work is the true reward. 

Shoving candy or treats (rewards) into faces of children is not true satisfaction for a job well done. Giving everyone a medal for being nominated for possibility of winning the trophy just cheapens the cup.

External rewards that do not match the work ethic or skill are as an opiate to those who receive them so stop acting like a Pusher. Stop raising ninnies. Go back to fundamentals.

Wax on. Wax off. 

Harsh? Oh no. I know a couple of mothers with austic children who could take you down over this subject. Their children could put many “normal” children or adults to shame with their children who are truly qualified workers. 

Even my mother can still work circles around people a quarter of her age. (I would say how old she is but I would like to live to be that old.) 

The joy of work for the sake of how working makes one feel must be reinstilled as a foundational principle for success.

Start the New Year Right. Wax on. Wax off.
