Hell 2020

 This is my 8th summer in Arizona. Even though the first 2.5 summers were in the hotter part of the valley, this has been the worst. Everything else was getting cancelled this year and monsoon did not want to be left out. Normally the rain starts in early July. This year we are almost into September and we've only had a couple weak storms. They reported this was our hottest July on record. Although we didn't shatter any all time records this year we've had consistent heat. On August 14th Phoenix hit 115 the 8th time this year, breaking the old record of 7. Phoenix has broken 110 over 40 times this year. Even in Anthem we've broken 110 probably 15 times this year, hitting 109 yesterday, in late August! I can't wait until this insanity is over. Sunday we are supposed to drop nearly 20 degrees with a high of 91. I'm hoping the record breaking heat is done after that.

The thing that really sucks is that our idiot governor has closed the water parks. Yes we have a pool but it's just a little play pool, far from what I would have had put in if I had it built. We still have to pay our full HOA fees but our water park at the community center is closed. My gym at the community center is closed as well leaving me with few exercise options. Did I mention our governor is an idiot? He's forcing everyone to either exercise in extreme heat or get fat and unhealthy and be at higher risk of the Rona. Lately I haven't been feeling good so it got to the point where I tie a strap around my ankle then onto a pole so I can swim in place in my pool and actually get some exercise. I went to the doctor for my back and they said there's a big increase of people in pain right now because of these stupid lock downs. But that doesn't matter to the politicians. 

The kids are currently doing distance learning. They are supposed to go back to school September 8th. I work from home. Natalie has to help Adri and Zach with their school and zoom meetings, and deal with Dean at the same time. The house is chaos right now. One of the parents decided she doesn't want the school to reopen on the 8th. She has the option to keep her own child at home doing the distant learning but she decided that's not good enough. She wants to force the school shut and force her BS on all of us so she started a petition and shared it online. I couldn't see it because my normal Facebook account is deactivated right now but if I did see it there would be a whole lot of 4 letter words for her. I'm now at the point where I don't care who likes me or hates me. I'm sick of the stupidity in this country and I'm going to tear into someone if they try to enforce their BS on me. Luckily I'm not the only one that is fed up and a lot of people were fighting her about the issue on her page. 

So that's our summer in a nutshell. Elections are coming up and people are pissed at what Democrats are doing to this country. Here comes a landslide.

Dean used to be terrified of the vacuum. Then one day I had him help me use it and now he's obsessed with the vacuum to the point where he even pretends he is the vacuum.


Dean has no fear when he has his floaties on.


Natalie got Dean some floaties that work really well. Only two and he can swim on his own while wearing them. 


Dean with Bear. He's smiling because he can see bear on my phone.

When it's 108 after sunset you swim.

Facebook Is Trash. I'm Taking Out The Trash.

Eleven years ago I created a Facebook account for Adri. I've since created accounts for all my children. I thought it would be cool to create these accounts, tag them, and use them like a journal. Then one day when the kids are older I could hand over their accounts to them and they could use the memories feature to see what they've done and when they did it. Never did I think I would create these accounts just to turn around years later and delete them all.

Facebook lately is complete trash. It's to the point where as much as I like certain aspects of it, I can no longer support their dumpster fire platform. Over the last couple years it's been getting gradually worse and lately they are accelerating the stupidity because they are afraid the Democrats are going to lose this election. Facebook has silenced anyone who disagrees with their Corona agenda and lockdowns, which they have benefited greatly from.  

There are some that think Facebook has a right to censor because it's their platform. These people are misinformed and don't know some basic facts about why it's not OK what Facebook is doing. Facebook gets government subsidies and tries to play both sides, one saying they are a social media platform, then claiming they are a publisher when it benefits them. They can't have it both ways. They control what people read, what they think, and what they say. If you don't fall in line they don't just keep you from posting publicly but they also cut off your access to messenger. This is a slipper slope. Can you imagine if AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, or any other carrier that allows you to communicate on their network was to cut off your communication because they don't like your views? They've forced everyone into quarantine, pushed everyone onto mostly a single social media platform for communication with the outside world, and then they control what you can talk about.

Their fact checking is absolutely ridiculous. The left can post whatever garbage they want. The right is constantly fact checked by so called independent fact checkers which are nothing leftist with an agenda grasping at straws to discredit anything that doesn't follow their agenda. We are a step away from turning into a third world communist country right now.

I have a couple examples below. Ben Swann, who is a genius that graduated from BYU at age 16, posted a video about masks studies over the last few decades. He gave the year on each of the studies, nothing was misleading. The most recent studies he cited were this year and they all came up with the same conclusions that there is no benefit in wearing a mask. Well the Facebook fact checkers said this is partly false because the studies are old. What kind of garbage is this? Again, grasping at straws.

Now they're taking it to another level of stupidity. The day I got put back in Facebook jail I posted an article where Kamala Harris said she believes Joe Biden's sex accusers. This is when she was running against him in the primaries. But then she decides to be his running mate, because he backed himself into a corner and made gender and color a qualification and had limited options. So Facebook had to find a way to keep this information from getting out. So now before even sharing the article I get a warning that it's over a year old where they try to convince me not to share it. They don't care when an article that is anti-Trump is 20 years old though.

This post was removed for inciting violence. Facebook doesn't care if you incite violence against conservatives but they do care about those pedophiles. There are groups that have been shutdown that shame pedophiles because they are afraid of vigilantes. Facebook, defender of the pedophiles. 


The stupidity became too much later that night when I was having a conversation on my page with my Dad's friend who said Trump will surely win because of the stupidity going on in this country. I said never underestimate people's stupidity, all they see is R and D. Ten minutes later I got thrown in Facebook jail for 30 days for hate speech. You can call for the death of the president and spew all kinds of hatred but if it's in support of conservatives or you're on their list there is no tolerance. 

So for now my account is deactivated and I'm "shitposting" under the name Jose Alvez. I haven't decided if I'm going to permanently delete my account in two weeks after I notify everyone what happened and how to contact me, or if I'll wait until after the landslide election that is coming. I want to get off Facebook right away, but I also want to gloat and shitpost and piss off all the liberals before leaving. I can only hope more people start to wake up and realize this madness needs to stop and join another social media platform.
