Press and Politicians

With the mainstream media and most elected officials, Diogenes would have his lamp burn out before he ever found an honest man. Even Honest Abe was not so truthful.

Old West Hero

You know for everyone who fancied a gunfighter a hero in the cowboy days, someone else likely thought him a villain. I suppose the same is true now in the terrorist or freedom fighter argument. Moral ambiguity seems to permeate life.

Simply Another Species

One of my late great aunts would frequenty declare, "you just can't understand people" as she led her remarkable life that included being a secretary to Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox and to Edward R. Murrow and later a decorator for the Hilton family and a female "engineeer" at Bechtel despite the fact that she never studied engineering (The company apparently did not have a designation for "decorator"), and being an accomplished artist in her own right. I just wonder what Aunt Bertie thought she was if not a person.

Rich Man's Game

Many who seek office are already wealthy. That of course does not mean that they are still not susceptible to graft. If you are poor, you may seek office, but with what campaigns cost today, you have a tough fight ahead.

Of Modest Means

Many folks enter national politics without great wealth, but almost none leave poor. I think a lot of politicians only run for office to feather their own nests. Dennis Kucinich is one of the few to enter Congress not intending to get rich, and Donald Trump lost billions of dollars by gaining the Presidency.

The Year Ahead

Anyone who thinks they can foretell the future will likely be wrong more than right. One thing you can make book on is that many people will suffer in 2022, just as they did in 2021. Another safe bet is that opportunists will try to profit from the pain and fear of others in the coming year, likely using the pandemic to their own advantage.

Count Your Blessings

On this Christmas day, if you are in America, even Biden's America, count yourself fortunate. The poor in the United States generally live better than those considered prosperous in many other countries.

Just a Fact

If inflation was measured the way it had been in the 1970s, it would be much higher now than is being reported, but the way it is tallied has been changed to make it appear lower than it would have been by traditional standards. This accrues to the benefit of the Biden regime as our economic situation does not appear as dire as it was under Jimmy Carter (which in fact, it is).

The Weimar Reaction

When decadence is imposed on the populace, there is often a reaction. In the case of pre-World War II Germany, the response to the excesses was Nazism. In America, we have now seen the Left steal power and go wild. I wonder what right thinking Americans will do in taking the country back.

Many Empty Shelves

Many popular toys are unattainable at stores. You can find them on EBay, but their prices are well over the "recommended retail value". Clothing items are also hard to come by, and there are even grocery stores facing low inventory. This is not an America I have ever seen.

A Bankrupt Nation

You can have plenty of money in your pocket that can not buy you anything. Just look at Venezuela and before that Zimbabwe. That is the situation Build Back Better would have engendered.

Need Some Cash

If you need a loan, go to someone who owns a gas station. If you need a tank of gasoline, offer your first born as an even exchange. I have been driving just short of forty years and have never witnessed gas prices this high.

Mortgage Your House

I drove from Nashville to pick up my daughter in Louisville. You could have bought a house in 1921 or what my gasoline cost a century later. I really wish my car would operate on 87 octane, but dimwit that I am, I had to buy a premium fuel burner. There ought to be a loan officer at the filling station these days.

Maybe Next Year

Do you think in 2022 the human race will be declared "COVID-safe" or "coronavirus free"? I guarantee you this will NOT happen as our overlords have found using the virus and the fear they create by hyping the pandemic have gained them more power than anyone had heretofore accumulated in history.

Entirely Forgettable Flicks

Has one movie taken from comic books made a lasting impression on anybody? Is there a single line from any of these films that will stand the test of time? Even the Christopher Reeve Superman, which was the best of a bad lot, has not stood up as anything approaching a classic (though anyone who watched will mark Reeve's performance as a good one). It is a shame that the great super hero movie has not been made yet, but it is also an opportunity.

Test of Time

I can watch It's a Wonderful Life every holiday season. Same is true of A Christmas Story. Can you tell me of a movie made in the last couple of decades that endured like these?

On Today's Movies

The schlock being turned out today does not hold a candle to the movies of days of yore. The Golden Age of Hollywood is not tarnished but erased with all the filth and propaganda being churned out now.

Most Memorable Quote

The single most unforgettable line in movies comes from Gone with the Wind. Rhett Butler shakes the world when he writes off his scheming wife Scarlett O'Hara with "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!" If you have ever seen this captivating film, you will always hear that echo.

Most Memorable Lines

Is there a movie with as many iconic and unforgettable lines as Casablanca? "Gambling at Rick's!?!" "We'll always have Paris". "Round up the usual suspects". Essential in the context of this all time classic. I could quote more, but you would be better off watching this movie than reading a few tidbits taken from it.

Save the West

If you are able to preserve the dominance of Judeo-Christian thought in Europe and the United States, you will save the world. If Muslims are not blocked from their ascendancy, we will have a thousand years or more of darkness. Eric Zemmour is the great defender of our culture and way of life who in victory can keep us free and safe. Zemmour must win in France.

Watch Me Grow

There were beautiful trees all over the neighborhood. By any objective standard, the Harpers' tree was not one of one of these gorgeous trees. Many of these trees were festooned with elaborate Christmas decorations. Mary Harper, the little seven year old thought their lonely little tree should be adorned as well. There really were not a lot of branches to hang ornaments on or to decorate in the usual way. But when the family started to show the little sapling attention, branches amazingly began to sprout. Soon, the Harpers had the prettiest, most wonderfully bedecked tree in the entire neighborhood.

A Complete Failure

Joe Biden can't convey a thought of his own, and at this point, he can't even properly read what is prepared for him on the teleprompter. Biden can not possibly turn around the problems he has heaped on the US because he has lost whatever mental capacity he once had.

A Qualified Success

Joe Biden managed to do one thing well. He and the cabal around him stole a nation. Outside of that, his administration has been an abysmal failure in every aspect that matters to working Americans and those who want gainful employment.

Trust but Verify

It was Ronald Reagan who uttered the phrase "trust but verify" in regard to some treaty we reached with our implacable Red adversary of that era. I held more faith in our enemy of that period than I have in Tony Fauci. I think the "BAD DOCTOR" is using us and our children as guinea pigs in an effort to line his already deep pockets. You never expect the poison to come from someone presenting himself as your helping hand, but I simply have no faith in Fauci.

Ukraine or Taiwan

Will an enemy of the United States soon invade an American ally? Yes, indeed, I believe that will happen in due course. I think it will be Red China invading Taiwan to capitalize on Biden's weakness and to distract the Chinese people from the looming economic collapse brought on by the corruption and mismanagement of the Communist Party of China. Putin might encroach more of the Ukraine as well, but the Red Chinese will jump first. I am not even sure they will wait for the end of the Olympics they will soon be hosting to strike.

Enmity or Friendship

Eighty years ago today, the Japanese displayed the ultimate antipathy for Americans. Now, Japan is a steadfast ally of the United States. Perhaps, at some point in the future, Iran will be friendly toward America. Let us hope that blood does not have to be shed in the meantime.

Save the Babies

I am as dead set against abortion as anybody. The only exceptions I would make would be to save the life of the mother, if the fetus was proved medically to be non-viable, and perhaps I might permit the pregnancy to be terminated in cases of rape and incest. I do not think the US Supreme Court as currently constituted with the Biden regime in power will uphold the Mississippi abortion law or any other restrictions on abortion-on-demand. I think the Court is made up largely of Leftists and cowards and will uphold the legality of abortion for any reason at any time right up until birth and permit mothers to murder their pre-born babies for no reason at all.

Saved the World?

Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Pope John Paul II could be said to have brought down the global menace that was the Soviet Union. Perhaps, the USSR would have ultimately fallen anyway due its own corruption, but these three stalwarts for human freedom certainly brought the Evil Empire down sooner than it may have fallen otherwise.

Taste of Normalcy

We are having conference football championships today in packed arenas. Watching the crowds, you would never know there is a pandemic. I am not a betting man, but would bet that soon the power-mad DemocRATS in Washington and in states they control will reimpose lockdowns that prevent massive gatherings like we are seeing now from happening again for the foreseeable future, using the current variant or perhaps the next one as a pretext.

In the Know

Joe Biden at this point seems to be an empty-headed empty suit. Old Joe is certainly still a DemocRAT, but perhaps would fit in better with the long-defunct Know-Nothing Party, because with his mental decline, he has little comprehension of the damage to America being done in his name.

Fox Guarding Henhouse

Tony Fauci is a megalomaniac bent on advancing his own authority and the power of those who grant him his brief. If you have listened to his diktats and complied with them, you are a lamb in the care of a wolf.

The Biden Boom

One thing is certain about the Biden prosperity- almost no Americans are experiencing it. US stocks are tanking as gas prices soar, but old Joe is fine with that, so long as his son Hunter sells plenty of paintings. Joe Biden is all for profits so long as it is he, his kin, and his close cronies making it.

Bottom Falls Out

Did anyone really believe that a cabal of Marxists would use a steady hand to maintain stability in US markets? Who could have been that naive to think that folks that hate our nation from the Founding would have our best interests at heart or would want to see working Americans thrive? They will contend it is only the "investor class" that is concerned with the performance of US stocks. The "little guys" they will say "could not care less". The mongers of class envy that now lead the DemocRAT Party are perfectly happy with the economic dislocation and great suffering they are causing.

Relying on Failures

America may be forced to rely on our so-called leader Joe Biden, who is an abject failure. Biden is relying on Tony Fauci, who from the standpoint of curing or containing COVID, has failed utterly. We are reliant on folks who have only been successful in acquiring and expanding their own wealth and power and nothing beyond that.

Admitting His Failure

Tony Fauci is saying the Omicron Variant will spread everywhere. In so doing, Fauci is telling the world he has failed. Old Tony says more lockdowns will be necessary. Once again, Fauci is saying all his previous efforts did not work. As someone who has orchestrated failure on top of failure, is it not obvious Fauci should be replaced?

The Next Variant

Has the mortality rate of COVID increased? If so, does that not necessarily mean the vaccines have not worked? After all, more people are vaccinated each day, so logic would dictate that less people should be dying, not more. In point of fact, more people have died under Biden with the vaccines widely administered than died under Trump first with no vaccine available and then with only a nascent program of inoculation. I do not care which "variant" is threatening lives. We can not shut our economy and hide in our houses no matter what the variant is.

Inevitable Next Wave

When our overlords seek a pretext for our oppression, they will always find one. Is there a new COVID variant? Quite possibly, but even if there was not, those who used the China bioweapon to advance their own power, would certainly say there was.

The Turkey Today

Today's badge of ignominy and every day actually since the stolen election belongs to the figurehead of the cabal, one Joe Biden. No individual has done more damage to our Republic, or rather had more damage done in his name than the vacant one, old Joe Biden.

Make Blessings Count

No individual should squander their gifts, particularly whatever native ability the good Lord gave them. Few optimize their God-given gifts, some use little of them, and others none at all. We all have much to be grateful for, though at the moment, we may forget that. "Thank God" is a prayer never uttered enough.

Who Is Worse?

The criminals, in and of themselves, are obviously bad. The media that makes excuses and covers for them are arguably worse. Worst of all perhaps are the politicians that are actually pandering to the criminal element. If you want thugs voting for you, decent folks should shun you as if you are a felon yourself.

Some Affirmative Action

Race-baiting politicians, pseudo-scholars, profiteering activists, and opportunistic thugs are trying to make sure that instead of having Americans walk hand in hand towards a better future, we are at each others' throats. The logical conclusion of telling black folks that whitey is the devil was seen yesterday in Wisconsin. We have mass death on the street because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris wanted to keep things stirred up to gain power.

Hide in House

If you were planning on a riot with a bit of arson thrown in here in the United States, perhaps you should rethink, now that you know the honest citizen can still protect himself. We will not be the ones hiding behind locked doors in our homes. You had best watch your step. Americans will never surrender to anarchy.

Threat to Mob

The powers that be wanted a different outcome in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. They wanted guilty verdicts on all counts to send a clear message to everyone not to resist the riots. The cabal in charge wants the rioters to be able to act at will and no law-abiding citizen to be empowered to oppose them. That is why in areas in the thrall of the Left, they have moved toward defunding the police and tied the hands of law enforcement, so no entity is able to stand in the way of the anarchists and street thugs.

Hooray for Justice

We still retain the right of self-defense in parts of America. It may be tenuous, and you may be put on trial for your life if you have to exercise it, but after the Rittenhouse verdict in the trial he should never have had to face, you can still protect yourself from folks trying to kill you. Heaven forbid had Kyle been found guilty. Let us see which cities burn tonight. I hope there are other Kyles around to stand up to the mob.

Killing Our Rights

Make no mistake, it is not just Kyle Rittenhouse on trial in Wisconsin. It is the right of self-defense for every law-abiding American. I will not surrender to the mob and let them break and take and maybe rape and murder. If we did not receive the message loud and clear with the prosecution of Nebraska bar owner Jake Gardner who was hounded into suicide with a politically-motivated persecution after an act of self-defense, we must absord the lesson of the Kenosha kangaroo proceeding. To the cabal in power, it does not matter what excesses the rioters inflict, we are not permitted to fight back.

Behind Their Masks

A lot of liars are hiding behind masks. They are hypocrites too because they let their masks slip at baseball games and other places as well. I would also hide if I had a hand in killing millions of people.

The Mask Bullies

All the tyranny is coming from one side in Covid. That is the mandate pushing side, be it from forcing masks to forcing vaccinations. The side that is for individual freedom is not about forcing anything on anyone. We are for individual liberty. If you want to take punctures or keep your face covered until the Second Coming, by all means, knock yourself out. Just don't try to make me or my children do it.

What Is Expected

I would take and would recommend my child also be administered a vaccine I thought was safe and effective. I would say the vaccines currently available for Covid are neither. If they were effective, why the need for all the boosters? If they were safe, why have more than seventeen thousand deaths related to these punctures been reported to VAERS (the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System)?

What Is Required

If Donald Trump, a President I respected told me to do something, I doubt I would follow his order. I sure am not bowing to the usurper Biden. I am all for individual liberty, and always against overreaching mandates, no matter where they come from, because America made the rights of the individual paramount from the Founding.

DemocRAT Crime Wave

Have you noticed that in Democrat hotbeds Chicago, New York City, Portland, and Seattle that crime is through the roof? The Windy City has a rate of murder so high that it looks like a combat zone. New York under departing Mayor Bill de Blasio had crime return to the bad old days numbers experienced before Mayor Rudy Guiliani cleaned the city up. Portland and Seattle essentially gave themselves over to the mob with lax or non-existent enforcement of laws. What do all these cities have in common besides suffering near anarchy? They are all dominated by DemocRAT mayors and a DemocRAT controlled power structure.

What They Want

The powers that be at the moment in America want you to know that they do want you to protect your community, your business, or even yourself. They charged the discernibly innocent Kyle Rittenhouse to send that message. They persecuted a Nebraska bar owner Jacob Gardner to the point of suicide when he was forced to take the life of a BLM rioter that attacked him. The signal is crystal clear. Do not stand in the way of the lawless thugs. The system will not protect you and certainly not your stuff. Just stand back and let your town burn. If you are lucky, insurance will cover your loss, but by no means, should you stand in the way of the mob.

System on Trial?

The system is NOT on trial. The system never is on trial. It is an individual that is on trial, and the stakes could not be higher. Kyle Rittenhouse's future is at peril, and the only reason he has that future in the balance is that he fought off would-be murderers to preserve his own life. Rittenhouse is clearly NOT a murderer, just someone who was forced to defend himself with the means he had at hand.

An American Son

Kyle Rittenhouse is a civic-minded young man who went to help a neighboring community. I do not think in a million years that he crossed the border from his nearby home in Illinois into Wisconsin to harm anyone. In retrospect, carrying an AR-type rifle may have made him more of a target rather than less, because members of the rioting mob I am sure would have liked to have gained control of such a powerful weapon, but I do not fault Kyle in the least for shooting criminals that were attacking him. In some ways, he is like a patriotic soldier who volunteers to defend the country inasmuch as he was putting himself at risk to protect others. I hope he is fully cleared of all criminal liability and civil liability for trying to do the right thing.

New Toilet Paper

The Biden cabal now has a new use for the US Constitution. The next time old Joe fouls himself somewhere like he allegedly did in the Vatican, he will just tear off a piece of our sacred national principles with which to cleanse. Biden sees no other value in our Founding documents.

Post Constitutional Polity

With the FBI raiding journalists, America as founded may well already be well and truly lost. If you have to ask your government how much of your earnings you are permitted to keep, you are living in a tyranny. The United States is now an enemy of individual rights and Liberty.

Time For Thought

Everyone must acknowledge that COVID is vastly less dangerous for children than adults. I see no reason to rush five to eleven year olds to take an injection they do not need and that may harm them. If you want to volunteer your child as a guinea pig, I would not recommend it, but that is your business. I sure do not want you forcing a shot on my six year old.

The Turncoat Contingent

In almost every instance, you can find some Republicans in name only to vote with the DemocRATS. These GOPers are traitors to their party and are making common cause with a Leftist party that betrays the nation as founded. Nancy Pelosi found an unlucky thirteen Judases to vote with her lockstep Myrmidons. Patriots will curse these seekers of thirty pieces of silver forever.

Back to Sleep

If you think America under the usurper and his cabal is headed in the right direction, you really do not need to be involved in the political process. You might as well just surf your social media all day and post pictures of your cats. If you ever go to a gas station or grocery, you know something is greatly amiss in this country. The Biden regime is dragging America into the sewer, and if you think that is the way to go, you stink already.

Woke or Awake

Many of the so-called "woke" are nearly brain-dead. They think they know all when in fact, they know virtually nothing. If all you watch is MSNBC and/or CNN and read The New York Times, you are informed, ill-informed that is. If you believe what these propagandists tell you, you are living a life completely deceived.

Sleeping on Job

It is hard to know who is doing the most damage to the United States in the Biden regime. Is it "Sleepy Joe" napping his way through climate meetings and crises? Is it Pete Buttigieg who is on paid extended baby leave as the ports he is supposed to help manage are backed up for months? Is it Kamala Harris who is overseeing the border by doing nothing to stop the invasion? I say it is a team effort to destroy our nation as it was founded and has been run for over two centuries.

Sleeping at Summit

Dear old Joe seemed to fall asleep at the climate change summit. In this instance, I am not embarrassed for Biden as taking this public nap is the only smart thing he has done since his cabal took power. Joe may be a bit senile, but in his heart, Biden knows man-caused climate change is balderdash.

Good One Mom

My dear mother, the brilliant and beautiful and now sadly sick Sherry Goodman made a great observation today. We were trying to find some help for a respiratory issue Mom is battling, only to be told she could not enter the medical offices of the her primary physician for almost the last decade. They did administer a rapid Covid test in their parking lot. Mom declared, "We used to have assisted living, now we face directed dying". Sometimes, she just pegs it.

At Every Opportunity

Corrupt, old Joe Biden has advanced his own interests and those of his family throughout his political career. I can not think of a single thing he has ever done to help working Americans or those who want to work. Any benefit the United States has derived through Biden was purely incidental to whatever personal enrichment Joe was attempting.

On Rare Occasion

When it served their evil purpose, Hitler and Stalin told the truth. With his worsening senility, Joe Biden does not recall what is true. Because of Biden's position of power, this presents an extreme danger to the whole world. You do not want your nation guided by someone who experiences occasional lucid moments.

Really Believe That

Joe Biden told the French today that he knew nothing about a deal for subermarines that cut France out. I am sure old Joe was being sincere, I am just not certain he had any idea who he was talking to or what he was speaking about. He may well have thought what are all these foreigners doing in Delaware?

The Fastest Sport

I would say that air races are a really fast sport. I am not sure I have ever seen one broadcast though, and I know I never attended one in person. Drag racing is a quick one as well. In my youth, my Dad considered buying a theme park with a dragster track. I believe country entertainer Ronnie Milsap ended up purchasing the Bowling Green, Kentucky attraction Beech Bend at that time. Anyway, there are many heart-quickening competition I would rather watch than baseball, that seems like a nice sleep aid to have on when you go to bed.

The Slowest Sport

Baseball at times seems interminable. You have some pitchers who will throw over to hold a baserunner on first numerous times. Some pitchers wave off their catcher several times. It is as if some players want to make an already long game, endless. Still, it is faster than golf.

Simply Venal Scum

A lot of people end up with children who abuse drugs. Some folks have sons that frequent prostitutes. Only Joe Biden has a son Hunter who has been the bag man for many millions of dollars, some of which we can be certain reached the pockets of the "Big Guy". I fault the father more than the child, as there must be immense pressure being forced into influence peddling.

Pity the Beagles

Medical MONSTER Fauci does not just fund and then lie about gain of function research. He also tortures and murders puppies and monkeys. He must be removed from government service and should be, at the very least, imprisoned. In a just world, Fauci would suffer the fate he inflicted on the Beagles.

Great State Pen

I have (thankfully) not heard of an escape from our state prison in years. Congratulations to our penitentiary staff that seems to be doing a great job. The community would be in peril were it not for the warders who keep some very dangerous folks behind bars.

Poor Penn State

That university that had athletic staff for years shield a pedophile assistant football coach lost one of the longest football games ever, nine overtimes, to Illinois. Any club that protects a child molester should be disbanded and never be permitted to compete again. If they are for some reason allowed to continue to field a team, I hope they lose every game.

Go Mask Yourself

If we can reasonably conclude that masks will not save you, then you must rely on your vaccine, with a double puncture now being deemed not enough, and a booster now in order. Soon, the conclusion will be reached that one booster is insufficient and if you have complied, boosters ad infinitum will be required of you. If you tire of this enforced compliance, you may not be allowed to shop for food with all that entails. But remember, it is all for "your health".

Truth About Masks

There may be some benefit to wearing N95 masks or those that are even more protective. There is virtually no benefit derived from donning paper or cloth masks. Unfortunately, no level of masking will fully block COVID, but if it makes you feel more secure, by all means mask yourself.

The Mother Bear

Are you going to be one of the moms who volunteers your precious offspring to be a guinea pig in a possibly pernicious and diabolical experiment? You know healthy children are at virtually no risk of dying from the SARS-Cov-2 virus, but many have had adverse reactions, up to death from the so-called "vaccines". Blood clots, myocarditis, Guillain-Barre syndrome,altered menstruation, female sterility, and other complications are not uncommon with the currently available "vaccines". Breakthrough infection proves the vaccines have diminishing effectiveness, hence the announcement of the "booster" program. I would think long and hard and research extensively before permitting anyone to inject my children.

A Cornered Animal

If the economy of Red China continues to collapse, the CCP will become even more menacing. Do you think that Beijing will be more or less apt to lash out at Taiwan as the real estate market tanks across the Mainland? The worse things are for the Communists, the more they will destabilize the world.

Fans Gone Crazy

After the UT Vol football "riot", Nashville hockey supporters fought Seattle backers in the stands of our hockey arena. I do not know if Tennessee rooters are trying to live up to British soccer hooligans, but if they are, they are certainly holding their own. Come on folks, it is just a game!

A Football Insurrection

I watched my home state University football team get jobbed by the refs and punked by the opposing coach. That being said, nothing justifies throwing objects onto the field that could harm or even kill someone, quite possibly another Tennessee Vol fan. In the moment, people let their emotions overtake them and did foolish and dangerous things. I think those who threw objects that could injure must be prosecuted and at the very least, banned from ever attending a game again.

Not About "Winning"

When Trump was campaigning for the Presidency initially, he said America would be so triumphant that "we would get tired of winning". The events as they have subsequently transpired proved the Donald right. We must have exhausted ourselves with all that success, but fortunately, we won't ever have to contend with that under Biden. Old Joe has certainly made us a "loser" nation.

Avian Extinction Program

The Biden regime intends to use "Federal resources" to install windmills all along America's coasts. If you want to see any seabirds, you should visit the coast before these "green energy" devices chop them to bits. You can also be certain that Joe's cabal will not take into consideration periods of "doldrums" where the wind will not be strong enough to turn the turbines, but they will nonetheless force consumers into "green energy only" captivity that will cause brownouts and blackouts like the United States has never seen, along with all the food spoilage, disease, folks freezing to death in the winter and dying of the heat in the summer, and a surge of crime that occurs when the power fails.

Going With Alice

I certainly hope a lot of Leftist celebrities join a Mars mission or something similar. We have seen what their agenda is doing to our planet. Pleasse leave us to our own devices and go inflict your radicalism well away from Earth. It is doing far too much damage here.

Amusement Park Ride

Exploration of space, before the Bezos privitization, served a scientific and a national interest. What the Emperor of Amazon is doing amounts to little more than an insanely expensive carnival ride.

The New Revolution

Some ardent radicals have taken over Federal authority. Patriots need to resist them until sanity is restored to Washington. Joe Biden is not micromanaging this cabal. I doubt Biden even knows much of what they are doing, but he is the figurehead atop the regime. Those actually pulling the strings are Marxists who despise our nation from the Founding.

American James Bond

There have been some attempts to create an American character to match Ian Fleming's debonair British spy James Bond, but they have not come close. Dean Martin did a passable job portraying Matt Helm but did not acieve anything like any of the stars who played Bond. James Coburn was entertaining as Our Man Flint but certainly no Sean Connery. The Jack Ryan movies fall far short of the best of Bond. Someone may conjure a character and a great actor may be found to play the part, and someday there may be an American spy story that stands up compared to James Bond.

Enemies Uber Alles

Why would America be kowtowing to Red China? Why would the United States be bending over backwards to appease Iran? Why would the USA be taking the side of the Palestinians and seem to be actually trying to ignite a conflict over Jerusalem? Either we now have incompetent leadership, corrupt leaders who work against the American people and in the interest of our adversaries, or both.

The Parting Shot

The usurpers are not done tormenting Donald Trump yet. They are not defending "executive privilege" and the separation of powers inherent in it and demanded by the Constitution, but giving Congressional inquisitors Presidential documents that had never been handed over by any successor administration against the wishes of the former President. This is not a hunt for any real crime or impropriety, but more harassment of Trump and those who supported him.

Your Parting Gift

As the Biden cabal sweeps away liberty, they are giving their subjects some consolation prizes. The latest bribe to encourage folks to hand over their sacred freedoms is more student loan forgiveness. I really do not care what the radical overlords are offering. When it comes down to it, socialism is a stinking manure pile they expect you to eat and all the meaningless giveaways (of our own tax-confiscated money) are just part of a fifty year old packet of saccharin old delirious Joe found in one of his trouser pockets and sprinkled on top. What you are forced to swallow will taste just as horrible and do you as much good.

Not Far Enough

There is an infestation of homeless within a few miles of my house. I had one experience where one of these derelicts asked me for money, saying he,"had been in the Army". I asked, "What was your MOS?" This liar attempting to defraud me did not know what that universal US Army term meant (Military Occupational Specialty). On another occasion, I was confronted by two apparent vagrants in the West Nashville Walmart parking lot trying to block me from my car. My forty pound male dog, sensing I was threatened, leapt out my VW window and ran to me and the panhandlers fled. On another occasion one of the bums claimed he needed gas money to "get home to Mississippi". I did not assist him and he was still in that gas station parking lot two days later trying to con other motorists. These folks are often drug addicts and/or mentally ill, and some are definitely dangerous. Their prevalence is a stain on Nashville.

Counterweight Against Tyranny

Watch out today with the high school "mass casualty shooting" in Texas. The Biden regime is trying to strip away the gun rights of law-abiding citizens and will use this event as a pretext. The only reason the creeping Biden despotism has not been imposed faster is that there are four hundred million guns in private hands in the United States. The American public must never permit these firearms and their right to own them to be taken away. It is only this massive stockpile of weapons controlled by civilians that staves off a dictatorship. If you give up the Second Amendment in America, you forfeit all your Constitutional and God-given liberties.

That Irresistible Force

American strength was never a threat to another country. The United States is not an aggressor nation. We have never wanted to take over an area for conquest's sake or for oil or anything else. We were in fact so dumb when we liberated Iraq from Saddam Hussein that we did not take the petroleum for ourselves. A robust national posture has never been our problem. It is when our military is weak, as in the time before the Second World War when the US forces were smaller than those of Portugal that agression against us and the free world happen. Joe Biden is projecting incredible weakness and in so doing, is inviting evil doers across the globe to do their worst.

If Not Israel

If somehow the world forestalls a global conflict that starts with Israel (in an act of self-preservation) attacking Iran, the next worldwide conflict will then begin with Red China trying to subdue Taiwan. I thought that Beijing might wait to jump until the Olympics are over as Hitler waited a bit after Germany hosted the world to advance his aggression, but temptation might be too ripe with the Biden cabal displaying such weakness and perhaps even bought and paid for by the CCP. Anyway, look for deaths soon in the many millions, not from COVID but from COMBAT.

Next World War

Besides the misnamed "war on terror" which is ongoing and engulfing many places, I would say the next global war will start with Israel, backed into a corner by Biden regime failures, having to attack Iran to preempt the nuclear obliteration of the Jewish State. With the Biden cabal in office, it is much more likely that the US will warn Tehran of any impending action by the IDF than to actually have America help the Jewish State avoid annihilation. If the Jews are permitted by America to forestall the dream of the mad mullahs, all of Shia-dominated countries will attack Tel Aviv and Shiite terrorists will go after Jews and Jewish interests all over the world. It is not so much Israel or even Iran that will spark this conflagration, but Biden's moral cowardice and the weakness Joe is projecting to the world that makes this course of action almost inevitable.

Basically One Party

When you see Republicans in Ohio trying to redistrict conservative stalwart Jim Jordan out of Congress, you have to wonder. When so many GOP members fought Trump tooth and nail but rolled over for Clinton, Obama, and now Biden, it makes you think. My thoughts are Trump is an American before he is a Republican. We need patriots like Trump more than party labels, especially since on so many issues there is not a dime's worth of difference between the GOP and the DemocRATS.

Faith in Medicine

I used to hold the medical profession in the highest esteem. My father could have turned one hundred this week had his life not been deliberately cut short by evil doctors (and complicit medical staff) who imposed "futile care policy" on him against his medical directive and his and our pleading when he was ninety years old. Perhaps something else would have killed him in the intervening time, but we will never know because he was medically murdered by Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Prince Philip had medical issues around the time my Dad did, but instead of cutting off nutrition and hydration as they inflicted on my Dad, the Prince's care team moved mountains to preserve his life. If Seymour Goodman received life-sustaining treatment instead of its denial, he might have been here today celebrating our end of September birthdays together.

Only Growing Older

Some folks are celebrating birthdays today. I know a couple of them. If you are living, getting older is inevitable. It certainly beats the alternative. Happy birthday to all those Libras celebrating today.

Power Hungry Tyrants

If you want to force folks out of their lives and are saying out loud, "You will own nothing and be happy", you are an enemy of freedom. If you think the internal cumbustion engine is a net negative for humanity, you are a fool. If you believe windmills and solar panels can run the world while people maintain or improve their standards of living, you are a lunatic. If you hold any of these tree-hugging positions, you want to see the prospects of future generations diminished.

Future of Work

If the progressives push through their mandatory minimum income stipends, do you think people will have more incentive to work? I think you will have less Americans seeking jobs? Perhaps, you will have a study stream of migrants imported to do our labor for us. Thus endth the nation.

Work for Future

Will raising the debt limit rescue a single American stranded in Afghanistan? Will passing the three and a half trillion dollar monstrosity help control inflation? Will America be safer with no Southern border wall and hundreds of thousands of unscreened migrants surging into the country? Is America a better place with the Biden regime calling the shots? Do you miss Trump yet?

Our Stumbling Blunder

Joe Biden is a walking, talking catastrophe not just for America, but as the US has heretofore been the Arsenal of Democracy and guarantor of freedom, for much of the globe. Iran and Red China like the direction Biden is dragging us down. What is positive for the enemies of liberty, is horrible for humanity. The Biden cabal boosts tyranny and devalues life all over the world.

Say It Saturday

I was in a big box hardware store and saw a fellow bedecked in a shirt with a picture of Ronald Wilson Reagan, emblazoned with "I smell Commies". I thought he was a fellow patriot but felt somewhat disappointed to find he wore the T-shirt as a matter of irony. Well, not everyone is a conservative, but the beauty of this country is he can proclaim any political message he wants.

Goodbye to Plato

When there are capricious rules imposed on the public, it is hard to continue to call America a "Republic". Diktats and mandates from on high without the consent of the governed are turning us away from our Founding. It was a reverence for the rights of the individual that differentiated the United States from other countries. Until now, in the US, the individual was protected from the whims of the collective. As we can see, that is no longer so.

Nearly Nine Inches

I have to admit I was a bit impressed. With what looks like and I hope is the end of the Nashville monsoon, I went out and checked the rain gauge. With the first dry day in a week, the measurement was up to nine inches, just about three inches from overflowing. It really was a huge rain event, but thank goodness, this time I have heard of no flood fatalities. We could certainly use a few days of sunshine to dry out the marsh that used to be our lawn.

Time for Ark

My hometown of Nashville, Tennessee just experienced the wettest summer ever, breaking a record from the 1870s. I do not attribute this rain to anything man-caused. It was, like drought would also be, an act of God. Human hubris not withstanding, man is not as powerful as moon, or tides, or other planetary forces, or the sun itself. We, through science and manipulation may briefly affect local conditions, but nothing people do will cause as much change as a natural force like a major volcanic eruption. The good Lord did give us the tools though to adapt to changes in climate as they naturally occur through the centuries to this very day.

A Babbling Biden

At times during his effort at a UN speech, Joe Biden was incomprehensible. I wonder how the UN translators handled the murmuring portion. Many American Presidents have commanded respect at home and abroad. Incoherent Joe is at best eliciting pity.

Witnessing a Horror

I watched the Shia madmen of the Houthi militia slaughter nine likely completely innocent Sunnis. These eight men and one boy had likely not spied for anyone, though if you torture someone enough they will confess to anything. They were murdered, not because of any real crime, but because they were Sunni Muslim. While the "executions" took place the crowd of terrorists chanted in Arabic, "Death to America, death to Israel, death to the Jews", along with (of course) "God is great". These butchers would kill every male member of your family if you do not believe exactly as they do, be you another Muslim, Baha'i, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, agnostic, athiest, Jew, or anything other than a Shia End Time fanatic who would stand alongside them and root for the slaughter of the innocents. Then, they would enslave and rape your women and kill some of them too to keep the others in line. The civilized world including decent Muslims, even Shias who recognize this injustice as blood lust, should obliterate the mullahs that enslave Iran, the Iranian proxy so-called Party of God in Lebanon Hezbollah, and its sinister sister Hezbollah in Iraq along with the Mahdi Army, and these merciless Houthi gangsters.

Politics of Envy

John F Kennedy was a tax-CUTTER. If he was alive today, Kennedy would be considered a supply-sider. Today's DemocRAT Party rejects JFK's ideas in favor of socialism. In fact, Biden and Pelosi have just moved farther than socialism to embrace Marx. The putative leader of the United States and the Speaker of the US House of Representatives are now overtly Communist with their public rhetoric about the failures of capitalism. They are now appealing to the base and childish emotion of jealousy. They want every American to despise his neighbor if his neighbor happens to have greater wealth. I do not care what others are able to earn. All I ask is a fair opportunity to make my own way. Envy drove revolution and civil war in Russia and China and that ultimately led to grief, generations of tyranny, and many millions into early graves. We must banish the foreign notions leading us away from the Providential vision of our Founding Fathers.

For Home Defense

If you live in a condominium, apartment, or other densley populated area, I would suggest a .22 or a shotgun is well-suited to "home defense". If you have and must use an AR-15 to protect your family, the round you fire may well take down the assailant, but it may also go right through him and injure or even kill a neighbor. A shotgun might also be a decent choice as after a relatively short distance, the power of the pellets tends to diminish (presuming you are not firing slugs, which provide much more penetrating power than birdshot and even buckshot). Of course, the pellets also spread out which means you have to use extra caution in knowing your background if you must discharge your weapon. Of course, your great hope is the situation never arises that you have to protect yourself and your loved ones, but if you do, you must be prepared.

That Seems Fair

If, when he had power, Donald Trump denied ventilators to New York and California because those states did not vote for him but made some excuse that it would just not be "equitable" for the states where the most sick people are to be able to hoard such a scarce resource, would the media not rightly have pilloried him mercilessly until the policy was overturned? Of course they would have. Do you hear a peep in the mainstream media about Southern states, where most of the folks currently afflicted with Covid happen to be, that did not support Biden having their access to monoclonal antibodies greatly reduced in the interest of equity? This is not about public health but a poltical vendetta.

A Family Anecdote

My father told my mother that he "felt no psychological need" for pets in his life. Mom quickly disabused him of that, and they hardly ever were without a dog or dogs during their forty-eight (48) years of marriage. Thank goodness, she had (and has) some common sense.

Radical Breeding Ground

Too many US universities are not preparing people to contribute to America but to dismantle it. The students are not inculcated with critical thinking skills or expansive knowledge, but critical race theory and intersectional feminism. They may or may not leave college prepared for a career, but many of them are fully ready to deconstruct the United States.

The Socialist Queen

The DemocRAT Party is the posterior of American politics. AOC is a boil on that bottom. How much sense does it make to attend a thirty thousand dollar per ticket event and then use that forum to attack the rich?

Cut rate messiah// Came here to live and learn// Cut rate messiah// Would rather watch the people burn

Guide to Success

Joe Biden is the perfect model for a Democrat. He has failed at virtually everything throughout his career yet advanced to ever higher positions. Now as a figurehead nominally in the highest position, he will destroy the nation as it was founded, and while doing so, take credit for all the "good" he is doing.

Officially Sanctioned Murder

Ashli Babbitt and Rosanne Boyland were extrajudicially murdered by their own government. There has been no justice for these "executed" women. Ashli Babbitt carried no weapon of any kind and had police behind her within arm's reach who could easily have pulled her back as she attempted to crawl through a broken window within the Capitol. There was absolutely no reason or justification to shoot her. Rosanne Boyland was clubbed down by a female officer and then trampled by a crowd the police pushed on top of her. Neither of these ladies deserved to die or should be dead. ANTIFA and BLM rioters have done far worse across this country in the last year and not only have not been killed but often not even been prosecuted when police detained them. These radicals have often been released without charge. Did Babbitt and Boyland deserve an arrest? Probably, Babbitt should have received a citation, at least, but she should not have been gunned down for an order offense. I do not even know if Boyland merited an indictment of any kind. She was a citizen standing outside her Capitol. The actions of authorities January 6 is what you would have expected from the Iranian Basij thugs, not from American police.

Surrender After Victory

The United States and our allies in Afghanistan won every battle against the jihadists. For whatever reason, Joe Biden decided to forfeit all the gains and pull out with our proverbial tail between our legs. There is a way to leave a conflict you have certainly not lost, preserving honor and dignity, but the Biden cabal chose not to do that. They gave a mighty arsenal to an enemy we had defeated, thereby reconstituting them as a deadly threat. We could be commemorating the 2001 terror massacre today with the Taliban clearly vanquished, but instead see our foes ascendant as we sulk away as a humiliated nation that has just invited instability and more attacks.

War on Logic

I am not a doctor or a scientist, but possess at least as much logic as the average Labrador Retriever. If the vaccines are effective, and you have taken your shot(s), why are you concerned if I have taken mine? Are you not protected by your inoculation? If the vaccines are working, why the reimposition of masks? If the masks work, what is the necessity of the vaccine? Why is natural immunity of those who recovered from Covid not even a consideration? If effective early treatment with a combination of drugs, monoclonal antibodies, and zinc greatly reduces mortality, and this has been known for months, why is this treatment denied to so many sufferers? If "horse dewormer" and chloroquine drugs with zinc were demonstrated to help patients early on in the pandemic, why was their use suppressssed and articles even mentioning them censored? Could it be that if a viable treatment had already existed, it would have been much harder to get emergency approval for the so-called "vaccines" that now seem to be losing their effectiveness?

Made of Granite

I am certain Tom Brady is one of the greatest team sport players ever. I am not sure the greatest quarterback to suit up is flesh and bone. Perhaps, he is actually an alien among us. What he has done is simply superhuman.

How to Live

In life, either you contribute or you sponge. At some points, the same person may fall into either camp, but you do have some lifetime dole-dwellers who parasite off the rest of us and become a waste of space. We should all aspire to give more than we take, and some of us may even live up to it.

America Left Behind

Not only were Americans abandoned to the mercy of the Taliban in Afghanistan, common folks in the United States are being left to twist in the wind. We have just faced the highest ever gasoline prices on Labor Day, with domestic production in America all but shut down, largely due to the Biden jihad against American oil. We have employment numbers that do not reflect a robust recovery but a looming recession. Biden promised during his campaign to tame the Coronavirus. In the event, Covid tamed him, as Biden has presided the highest rate of infection yet encountered, actually more cases than Trump faced. Biden called his Afghanistan disaster a "success". Every action by the Biden cabal has been just as successful.

For the Worker

The celebration of Labor Day is great as far as it goes, but it must never be forgotten that there would not be workers in the United States were it not for employers. The Biden regime that won't build a wall on our Southern border is constructing a mountain of obstacles for business owners to overcome. At the same time, schemers are planning to impose thirty-six (36) or even thirty-two (32) hour work weeks to supposedly fix America's problem with unemployment. The problem is not that a forty (40) hour work week has deprived people jobs, or that by fiat, government can create employment. The problem is over-generous government benefits strip folks of their incentive to work. I see "hiring" signs all over Nashville. A shorter work week may indeed create more job openings, but will do nothing to make more willing bodies to fill those vacancies.

Planning to Fail

The woke US General Milley who guided the Afghanistan disaster said we had "planned" for that. I would have hated to see what happened if we hadn't.

Share the Misery

Socialism in its various iterations, including Communism, has never worked and will not ever raise the standard of living for the poor. You may well succeed in making the middle class (bourgeois)suffer and turning them destitute, even knocking the formerly wealthy into poverty, but how does that improve the lot of working people? They build walls around Communist countries, not to keep capitalists out, but to hold their enslaved populace captive. Joe Biden is bringing the stink of socialism to our shores, and he is betraying his oath and the US Constitution to do so.

Each generation bears a cost// They die out and the lesson is lost

Food for Thought

Old Uncle Pike thought his mental faculties might be slipping a little. When he expressed this worry to Aunt Goldie, she told him fish was "brain food". True or not, when Uncle Pike fried himself up some salmon and dug in, he choked to death on a bone. For Pike at least, eating fish did not help.

Nothing But Scorn

When you steal an election, you deserve nothing but scorn. When as a Congressman, Senator, Vice President, or President in the US, you sell your office, you desrve nothing but scorn. When you arm atavistic murderers with some of the most powerful weapons in the world, you deserve nothing but scorn. When you leave allies, who you promised to protect, behind to be tortured and murdered, you deserve nothing but scorn. When you leave Americans in the hands of bloodthirsty jihadists, you desrve nothing but scorn. Joe Biden deserves nothing but scorn, ignominy, and removal from office.

Loss Without Defeat

The Taliban never won a battle against our brave forces. Our feckless usurper surrendered the field to enemies that could never defeat our troops. We earned victory with blood and treasure and gave the prize away to degenerate enemies, not just of America but of humanity.

Most Dangerous Person

Joe Biden piles mistake upon catastrope and earnestly believes he should be congratulated for it. The worst aspect is he does not recognize the devastating consequences of his actions. Nobody like him has ever held power in the United States. Folks as warped as Biden rarely leave a psychiatric ward, so they usually do not have the power to do so much damage.

A Biden Western

If Joe Biden was leading way back then: The pioneers (in Joe lingo "colonialists") would not have the US cavalry rescue them when the Indians (in Joe lingo "Native Americans") attack. The US troops might be right there on the Plain as the wagon train is attacked, but they could not possibly intervene to protect the Pale Faces (in Joe lingo "occupiers"). They could gallop past, leaving their carbines and plenty of ammunition behind, not for the pilgrims, but for the Redskins (in Joe lingo "NOT the Washington football team"). The model for this premise is Afghanistan.

A Biden Peace

If Joe Biden has his way, a lot of Americans will find peace. It will be the peace of the grave, and I see very few folks welcoming it. America just gave state of the art "assault weapons" and machine guns, not available to private citizens here to some of the most bloody-handed terrorists in the world. In our country, ammunition for hunters, sportsmen, and people just wanting to protect their homes is scarce if available at all, but millions of rounds have just been given to jihadists. We have armed folks that have a homicidal hatred of us the means to murder us.

Emboldening America's Enemies

Does Joe Biden project strength? Does the United States seem strong after the Afghan catastrophe? Do you think Red China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela are less likely to start trouble now than they were when Trump was in power? Joe Biden is poison for decency and liberty around the globe.

Idiots and Imbeciles

What sort of moron would trust the Taliban to protect Americans? How could the people we have been fighting for twenty years be allowed to secure the perimeter of the Kabul airport? Only the dumbest people ever in authority anywhere could not have known a terrible tragedy was inevitable with Americans subcontracting their security to the Taliban, who are atavistic, woman-hating murderers who should not be negotiated with but destroyed.

Limits of Power

The greatest limit to US power is a lack of will to use it. Joe Biden has diminished us. Our enemies no longer fear us, and our allies can no longer trust us. I think it is highly unlikely the circumstances would have arisen to permit today's massacre had Trump still been President.

Post American Era

The United States will not collapse or be conquered in a day, a month, or even a year, but it is now clear that if there is not tremendous change, America is on a terminal trajectory. I do not believe Joe Biden has failed but has instead performed exactly as his handlers wanted. They wanted to see the last superpower diminished, and its unique status taken away. Biden has achieved this with remarkable alacrity.

Watch America Collapse

The United States has voluntarily given away its superpower status with the Biden idiocy in Afghanistan. It was not a lack of might but a lack of will that doomed us.

More Missing Monday

The situation in Humphreys County, Tennessee remained dire. At least twenty-two are now reported dead, and dozens are still unaccounted for after more than a day. Twin babies and a two year old were swept to their deaths. This event is one of the worst flooding disaster in Tennessee's history.

A Sad Sunday

Yesterday turned out to be tragic in Middle Tennessee. More than a dozen people were killed and at least thirty are missing. Weather can be a remorseless killer, and it was Saturday near Nashville.

New Tennessee Summer

Parts of this summer in Nashville have looked like monsoon season. It has been raining all morning. Sometimes, the rain has been torrential. Some summers, Middle Tennesse has suffered drought. This year, it looks like we should be building an ark.

Thought on Weather

You must always take account of the weather because the weather will never take account of you.

Who Replaces Biden?

If Joe Biden is somehow incapacitated or resigns, it is NOT his predecessor Donald Trump that replaces him, but the awful Kamala Harris. The only question as I see it is: Could Harris be any worse than corrupt, senile, old Joe?

A Brilliant Masterstroke

Perhaps Joe Biden is such a genius that Afghanistan is not a tragic fiasco at all but the best strategic maneuver ever. After all, the Taliban are no longer hiding in caves. They are out in the open where powerful US forces can easily find them and knock them off. Of course, old Joe is actually so addled that he will not order American troops to do that. In point of fact, the pitiful Biden has no idea what to do now to redeem his already failed regime.

Into the Void

Joe Biden is obviously NOT in control of his regime. America is flying blind. I was wondering who was pulling Biden's strings, but now wonder if anyone is? Whoever is trying to direct the regime, they are doing an atrocious job for the United States and the world.

In Perfect Control

Does anyone in their right mind think Joe Biden is on top of things? His regime is obviously temporizing when it comes to dealing with the China virus. He said in early July, Afghanistan would not fall, and one of his spokesmen said Kabul would not fall just three days ago. These folks are incompetent fools or just fools who care nothing for their own country. Their failures are ruining the world.

Debacle for Humanity

What has happened to Afghanistan is certainly not good for America. It is obviously bad for Biden, but it is worse for the Afghan people, and because terror rises from failed states, it is awful for decent people everywhere. The United States was not the only loser. Any place vulnerable to an act of jihad now must be super-vigilant because of what Biden's incompetence unleashed.

The Imposter Implosion

Even the most pessimistic could not have forseen Afghanistan falling this quickly. Then again, who could have guessed that the heretofore guarantor of liberty in the world would have fallen to a senile usurper with a Marxist cabal propping him up? It is Joe Biden, the worst misleader America has suffered under, that lost Afghanistan.

Divide to Conquer

There are malign forces that want us at each other's throats. The masked versus the unmasked. The vaccinated against the hesitant. The races pitted against one another. This effort to tear us apart may not have sprung from the Chinese Communist Party, but it certainly benefits them.

Bringing America "Equity"

The Third World is destitute, not becauce of a lack of resources or human capital, but because of corruption. The more corrupt a society, the more the people suffer. The United States has becaome a fractured nation under the Biden gang. Now, we will be beset with all the agonies crooked elections and illegitimate regimes bring.

Talk About Choice

If you want to kill your unborn, it is your body, your choice. If you want to avoid a potentially harmful, experimental vaccine, you have no right to do that, at least according to putative conservative Constitutionalist US Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Maybe Making Movies

We dined out tonight. Our server was in film school here in Nashville at Belmont. She did not seem to know much about the movies. She had never even heard of the neighbor it is my blessing to have, the talented and generous Dennis Quaid. Her situation is like being a music major without knowing who Mozart is.

So Invincibly Ignorant

I have Facebook "friends" who are excoriating the unmasked and unvaccinated because they masked and vaccinated and still got COVID. They are unlikely to know if they contracted the virus through someone unvaccinated or even if they caught it from someone unmasked, but by saying they were both masked and vaccinated and still became coronavirus-positive, they are demonstrating that the vaccines and masks DO NOT WORK. They are blaming the wrong people and must now realize the precautions they had taken were not foolproof.

War for Water

There may be no more blood for oil, as the world weans itself from dependence on petroleum. The wars may still be fought, but now the cause, particularly in the arid Middle East, is likely to be water.

Most Job Openings

There are a record number of job openings in the United States now. Why would people bother working if by going to a job they end up taking a pay cut to what they are making through unemployment assistance?

The Best Way

Red China was going to assert primacy by dominating the Olympics. In the event, that dominance did not happen. America, the Land of the Free (at least partially free at the moment) managed to win the overall medal count and secure the most golds. Freedom still prevailed over the slavery of Communism.

Tree in Forest

This will turn out to be the least watched Olympics in the modern media era. Is it a spectacle if no one watches?

Sickness or Reaction

No medicine is ever perfect. Some people have severe reactions to different pharmaceuticals. When a huge, really unprecedented, number of people take a "vaccine", some are bound to experience adverse events. If folks die from any drug that is supposed to make them better, it is a tragedy. If COVID is so dangerous that we need "experimental" vaccines to save us, so be it, but if it turns out the vaccines are potentially quite harmful, we may find out we made a colossal mistake.

Why Race Walk?

I was dining in a sports bar that was airing an event I am conspicuously avoiding on some of the televisions. It was "race walking". Who invented this "sport"? If you want to go somewhere quickly without a vehicle, I can see running, but what is the possible purpose of "race walking"? Did someone once say, "I need to get there in a hurry, but not too fast"? It is a sport (after a fashion), but one without any discernible reason to exist.

Cuomo Might Prevail

Maybe we are writing Governor Cuomo off too fast. He has not been convicted of anything. The allegations might be true, but even so, he could ride it out. Bill Clinton did.

No Mo Cuomo

Andrew Cuomo's political viability likely ended today. He enjoys a presumption of innocence in a court of law but not in the court of public opinion. He may survive his term, but I see no way Cuomo can ever be reelected or win high office in the future.

A Silver Lining

Perhaps the Delta Variant will bring us closer to herd immunity. Yes, it does seem to be more easily transmissible, but death numbers do not appear to be spiking, so maybe Delta will bring the threat of COVID nearer to its end.

A Clerk Jerk

My Mom and I were doing a little shopping. We walked into the Omega watch store and the staff was too engrossed in their conversation with each other to wait on us. I bought her an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra a few years back and she already owned another Omega Dad had given her. We were dressed summer casual, not exactly in go-to-meeting clothes, but they should have had the courtesy to wait on us. I now wish I had bought a Rolex instead of an Omega. I doubt I will ever make a purchase from Omega again.

Some Moral Equivalence

Israel attacks terrorists to keep them from doing murder. Iran attacks Jews anywhere they can find them (like Argentina). They also attack completely innocent targets like a Japan-flagged, internationally-crewed tanker, because its operation is managed by an Israeli company. Israel bends over backwards to protect noncombatants and innocent civilians, while Iran tries to kill every Jew it can and even non-Jews who happen to work with Israelis.

Friday's Fauci Follies

(Parody) You may be permitted to leave your house so long as you are booster vaccinated and wear seven masks or a NASA spacesuit. You can allow someone to enter your abode only if they are in a bubble. If you violate any of these requirements, you will be deliberately exposed to COVID and face death to a degree of certainty of around one percent. Fear the pandemic but quake in terror for all that is being done to "protect us" from it.

Turned Off Sports

I was an avid watcher of many sports. Colin Kaepernick cured me of that.

Taste of Bile

An athlete in an event I am not watching let down her teammates and her nation, but in today's upside down world, she will probably be feted. I do not really care about a bunch of folks who despise our country exploiting us to gain fortune and fame. If you do not stand for our anthem, you should not pursue a spot on our national team.

We Must Obey

You are a lamb being led to slaughter if you blindly follow all of the COVID mandates. We used to be a free people, able to determine what was right for us. Now, we must accept absolute garbage with a smile, or our social media will be taken away, and pretty soon our freedom of movement may be stripped from us too. If we allow tyranny, there will be someone there ready to impose it on us.

Australia Gone Mad

I read Queensland is forcing folks to seal their balcony doors so that they are not able to pass things to each other and post photos to prove they are taped up to slow the spread of COVID. These rules are absolute lunacy, but that is what we have come to expect from formerly sane nations. One of the symptoms of the pandemic seems to be rapidly spreading tyranny.

The Stronger Emotion

You can love someone, have that returned in kind, but have that feeling dissolve to never return. Once you hate something or someone, it rarely if ever turns to a robust admiration. It would seem hate trumps love.

Treatment Is Worse

When you lockdown a nation's economy, you are doing incredible damage. COVID is a horror story, but the actons of government in response to it are worse. The pandemic did not destroy the economy and human liberty. Government did that.

A Scared Rabbit

My family has known the political Cooper clan for decades. A few days back I saw my Congressman DemocRAT Jim Cooper in the Belle Meade Kroger. I was at customer service as he was walking past with a few groceries. Out of courtesy, I said "hi Representative Cooper". He looked terrified, like a deer in headlights, that someone recognized him. He must think we are on to the plots the DemocRATS are running.

America the Vanquished

At the end of all this, remember a foreign enemy did not take America down. The tragedy of this tyranny is that we largely did it to ourselves.

Open Border Madness

The ruling cabal is willing to let anyone cross our Southern border. With so many sneaking across, it is inevitable that disease and drugs are coming with them. To be a nation you really have to have secure national boundaries.

Critical About Race

There is one race of which I am aware. That is the human race. There are differences in melanin between folks, but so far as I know, light or dark, we are all people. Stop trying to tear America and Americans apart. You will win nothing and lose much if you succeed.

Such Grateful Athletes

I remember when almost all America's stars in the big money sports were overt patriots. Do you not think pros should be thankful to receive huge salaries to play a child's game? They may jump a little higher or be slightly faster than their high school teammate who is barely getting by as a truck driver or club bouncer. I would be glad to live in and positively represent a country where I was able to earn as much in one season as a wealthy person could accumulate through all his working life.

Exercise in Logic

If masks work, why do we need the vaccines? If the vaccines work, why are they reimposing mask mandates now? If the virus is so dangerous, why is the government admitting hundreds of thousands of aliens, many who have not been tested for COVID and almost none of whom have been immunized against coronavirus, and why is the government facilitating the dispersion of potentially contagious foreigners across the United States?

Distinction Without Difference

If the government is censoring you, or if the government is demanding social media sites censor you, it is all effectively censorship by government. US courts must not allow the First Amendment to be gutted through the backdoor. Stop censorship now before there is no more America.

A Free Cuba

Given the ingenuity, industry, and energy of the Cuban people, that nation could be an economic dynamo if the people were ever allowed to breathe free. Considering the lenghts they have gone to just to survive on that slave island or to escape it, they would triumph over competition if they ever enjoyed liberty.

Our Iranian Friends

The mad mullahs, who the Biden gang is cozying up to, sent thugs to kidnap a dissident living in the United States. These agents might very well have murdered her. This crime on US soil will not sway the Biden regime a bit from continuing their effort to appease Iran.

Solving Nashville's Homelessness

If you gave many of our vagrants apartments or houses, they would ruin them in fairly short order. They are not in proper housing now, not because of a lack of accommodations, but because they are addicts, alcoholics, mentally ill, or all or some combination of the above. You may give them money because they claim they need food. Chances are better than even that they will use whatever you gave them for meth or booze. Homelessness is a complex issue with no easy solution and sometimes what you do to help is actually only making things worse by perpetuating addiction.

Forthright or Not

Is Joe Biden an honest man? Not in the slightest. Is he truthful with the American people? Not hardly. Is he going to serve a second term? Not a chance. I doubt he is even competent at this very moment. I think Biden's mental deterioration is so pronounced we may have Harris as the nation's misleader within a few months.

Revolution Against Revolution

Cuba waged a revolution to free the people from a corrupt dictator (Batista). Instead of freedom, Cubans found themselves enslaved by Communism. The Castro brothers and their close cadre lived like kings while the Cuban people starved. Now, finally after over half a century, brave liberty lovers seem ready to throw off the yoke. I pray for their success. May Cuba enjoy the blessing of freedom that is a human right all too often taken away by despots.

Sundaes on Sunday

As a child, one of the highlights of the week was to have Isadore Gilbert, my beloved grandfather, take me to McDonald's for a twenty-nine (29) cent sundae. As far as desserts go, it was not a very good one, but that did not even matter. I was getting to spend part of the weekend with the greatest man on earth (Some of you might argue that you had spectacular grandpas too, and I would never dispute that, but Izzy was my superman). Other unforgettable moment occurred on Sunday too. Our Captain D's fish lunches for the whole family. Going to the JCC or to the arcade to watch Grand-Dad play pool. I know those days are never coming back and I really miss them.

Spying on Journalists

In free countries, the press need not worry about the government turning intelligence agencies against them. America used to be one of those places. I absolutely believe Tucker Carlson and know it is the government and not the press that needs reigning in.

Haiti or Hades

Haiti has suffered under some terrible leaders. I do not think the last ruler there was worse than his predecessors. He certainly should not have been murdered.

Land Never Conquered

The British failed to subdue Afghanistan. The Russians could not do it. A coalition of developed nations has not been able to end the unrest. Perhaps, it is a country best left to its own fate.

Bringing Afghanistan Peace

Nothing will pacify Afghanistan. The USSR could not. The West did not fare any better.

Free Fire Zone

Chicago is about as dangerous as any place in the world. This is what happens when you forbid the law-abiding from owning firearms. The criminals will always have their guns.

Cancel Culture Cancer

The way to address speech you disagree with is to present the superior argument. In the short run, you may silence someone, but in doing so, you raise great curiousity about what is being censored and may actually attract more hidden viewers than ever would have read an article if the tech overlords would not have tried to prevent its dissemination.

Super Spreader Sunday?

Some naysayers are claiming that our Independence Day get togethers will surge COVID. Maybe it will, but at this point, I am among the multitude willing to take my chances.

Driven to Distraction

If you are traveling this holiday weekend, try not to think too much about what you are paying for gasoline. It will sap your spirit if you remember just how cheap fuel became during the Trump Presidency. Patriots and even those with any sense miss having a real leader in the White House.

Blessed by Independence

Considering how messed up not so Great Britain is now, America can count her great fortune as not being part of the United Kingdom. We won our liberty and more than two centuries later, the English people are still being oppressed, now under the rationale of protecting them from COVID.Thank the Lord and the brave patriots for the freedom America (at least most places here) enjoy today.

Our Magnanimous Leader?

Joe Biden is a corrupt, senile figurehead who is being used as cover and a doormat by the most radical elements of his own party. I have heard some say Joe's "heart is in the right place", but he is actually only being generous with other folks' money. Who really thinks Biden is leading anything?

A New Virgin

Would you trust Bill Cosby with your sister or daughter? Yeah, that is what I thought.

Target Regime Opponents

Rarely before in the United States have media members been surveilled by the government. Tucker Carlson recently revealed he has been told the NSA is spying on him. In America, the political affiliation of who was being represented was never held against lawyers. Ask Rudy Giuliani what he thinks about this, now that he has been stripped of his law license. These are not normal practices in our Republic but perfectly natural for places like Iran and Venezuela.

Diversion and Distraction

Look for the corrupt Biden regime to stage more events like the recent attacks in Syria and Iraq. The cabal will initiate these actions to take attention way from all their failures.

The Trump Cult?

I watched thousands of people rally for President Trump in a rural area of Ohio. They were not some brainwashed cult, but patriots, who like Trump, love America. No doubt they appreciate Trump, but they love our nation as it was founded and recognize with the right leadership, how great we can be. And Trump loves our country and the patriots who share and hold up our love of liberty as much as they love him.

Trump for America

The real President is giving quite a rousing speech to adoring thousands in Ohio. You see the difference between low-energy, no-sense Joe Biden and dynamic, genius Donald Trump. Trump is also determined to harness the other energy, that being all of America's natural resources in safe, smart ways, while corrupt old Joe wants to and is shutting domestic energy production down. Donald Trump is still fighting for the work-a-day American and those patriotic Americans are still fighting for Trump.

More Refugee Gratitude

One of Angela's kids, brought to Europe from some near Hades, showed his thanks to Germany by murdering at least three people and injuring several others. The German police were so merciful they only wounded the perpetrator. This is what happens when you import folks from Third World war zones where people suckle on the teat of fanaticism from the moment they understand a few words.

Might Nuke Us

Corrupt old Joe will never wage war on Red China, even if they take Taiwan and then attack the Philippines. He might however use nuclear weapons to subdue the American people should they resist having their guns seized a bit too much.

Gun Grabbers Gambit

The Biden crime plan is NOT about keeping you and your family safe. It is coming from the de-fund the police party. The objective is to take your heretofore legal guns.

Means to End

The Democrat election bill would enshrine cheating and secure permanent majorities for that dirty party. Free and fair elections threaten Democrats because they would win a lot less of them.

Selling the Office

Bill Clinton sold access to the Lincoln bedroom of the White House to peddle influence. It looks like the Biden crime family is selling paintings. Either way it is a sick feeling to know our country is under the thumb of such venal grifters.

Biden Enemies List

The group targeted for special scrutiny by the ruling cabal includes eighty or so million patriotic Americans and is growing every day. If you do not kiss corrupt old Joe's ring, you are likely to be marked for surveillance and perhaps much worse.

In the Loop

People usually wonder who is in the know about the most classified aspects of government. Biden may or may not be briefed on them, but it does not really matter, because it is highly doubtful that at this point, old Joe will remember any of the details a week from now.

Best Leader Ever

For Russia, Red China, and Iran, Biden is the best US leader. Old Joe represents the interests of the tyrants that oppress these countries over what is right for the American people. The United States has never been burdened with a usurper like this. Freedom in the world has never faced a threat emanating from America like the Biden cabal.

Top Hundred Leaders

Corrupt old Joe would not even rank in the world's top one hundred leaders. He does not know where he is or what he is saying. To qualify for this elite list, you probably should not be senile.

Woke and Weak

No former administration listed their pronouns. No previous US leader played up to the trans movement so much. I am sure Putin had to work to contain his laughter in dealing with the corrupt dotard usurper. Being woke in and of itself is damaging. Projecting weakness to the world is DEADLY, which is all Biden has the capacity to do.

The Biden Flop

With his appearance in Europe, corrupt old Joe Biden has confirmed to the world that the United States has an incompetent at the helm. America's friends know the West is in trouble, and our enemies smell blood.

Plucky Little Bennett

The Israeli usurper, much like his American counterpart, has been installed by malign forces to do damage to his own country. Biden is being run, not running America, and Bennett will be beholden to anti-Jewish parties to hold his coalition together. Both these misleaders are bad not only for the nations they claim to lead, but for the world.

Wish Israel Luck

The Jewish State has just replaced the greatest advocate it ever had with a coalition that includes an Arab, Muslim party that opposes the Zionist enterprise altogether. I think either the governing coalition or the nation itself has no future.

Seven Nincompoop Nations

The G7 meeting has devolved into an anti-Trump hate fest by a bunch of incompetents, Leftists, and misleaders who could not carry Donald Trump's shorts. How refreshing it is for a bunch of America-haters to know they are now dealing with an American regime that refuses to represent the people of the United States and pledges fealty to multilateral institutions that abhor the US Constitution and founding values that have brought more freedom and prosperity to the world than all other countries combined.

America Not Represented

The G7 is meeting without the US particpating. Sure a befuddled old crook is there pretending to lead, but he likely does not even know what time zone he is in, much less the intricacies of the negotiations. Biden certainly will not dominate the agenda the way President Trump did.

Attack After Attack

As long as President Trump is breathing the evil Left will keep trying to destroy him. If Christ himself came back to bless Trump, the never-Trumpers would still curse him.

President Trump Vindicated

Donald Trump may be indicted by the bitter partisans in New York. The Clintons were as venal as sin but skated without being charged. Trump is innocent, and any charges against him will be purely political.

Must See Event

President Trump with Bill O'Reilly! What a combo, better than bread and butter or milk and honey. Two great minds at an unforgettable event. If they come anywhere near Nashville, I will be there with bells on!

Support the Police

If you do not want survival of the fittest on our streets, you better back the cops. The most vulnerable will simply be prayed upon without law enforcement to protect them. The police should not be "defunded" but given more funds, better equipment, and more training.

Hallowed by Valor

Were it not for the heroism of the Allies, I would likely never have been born. As a Jew, I am eternally grateful for the courageous soldiers who vanquished Hitler. June 6 is a momentous day, one we must always commemorate. Nearly eighty years on, I thank the Allied forces of D-Day.

Really Bad Doctor

A terrible physician in America might kill a few patients before he loses his license to practice. I do not know another doctor in the United States who might have his hand in millions of deaths besides Fauci.

Fauci the Salesman

"Fauci lied and millions died"- is this the new mantra? Has the government told us the whole truth or anything true at all about the virus?

A Criminal Matter

Some folks are now calling for Tony Fauci to be fired. I say he may bear a degree of responsibility for millions of deaths worldwide. His actions need to be thoroughly investigated and charges brought against him if evidence emerges of his culpability.

Negation of Justice

Social justice is the opposite of actual justice. If you discriminate against folks because of their race, that is racism. Affirmative Action is inherently racist. The practice of anti-racism is Animal Farm at work. You do not better the lot of people of color by hurting whites. This all goes back to what your grandma taught you: Two wrongs don't make a right!

The Real Insurrection

The real rebellion took place in Portland, Seattle, and Minnesota, not in Washington DC. The ANTIFA terrorists wrought destruction night after night, not a portion of one day. The single day January 6, almost certainly had ANTIFA involvement as well. Do you not think an anti-Trump radical could put on a MAGA cap?

Who Loves America?

The January 6 protestors are NOT insurrectionists. Except for the ANTIFA and BLM provocateurs stirring up law-breaking and destroying property themselves, those demomstrators were PATRIOTS!

Biden Against America

Did you know corrupt old Joe and the cabal refused to issue a permit for the motorcycle rally that has taken place for decades to honor the US military on Memorial Day weekend. The bikers are showing up anyway, but so far, Biden has done nothing to acknowledge them the way the former Presidents did. Then again, all the previous Presidents won their elections.

On the Cheap

Buying Hunter with a billion and a half dollar investment was a real cost efficient way for Red China to purchase the Presidency and steal the freedom of the people of the United States of America. The money spent by our enemies to gain influence over the Bidens was the best decision the Chinese Communist Party ever made, but it took a venal anti-American to be bought off.

Saved the Receipt?

Did Red China save the receipt when they bought Joe Biden through the Hunter Biden payoffs? They are far happier with Biden in Beijing than the folks are in America's heartland.

Red China Rules

Kowtow or die! The cabal and the usurper they installed have to disarm you to satisfy their masters in Beijing, so the Communists and their allies can march in without too much opposition. Of course, they want your AR-15. You patriots would slow them up if you have access to semiautomatic weapons.

Culprit Media Liars

I coined the term "dinosaur media" during the W administrtion, hoping that the biased anti-American newspapers and TV networks smearing President Bush were turning off enough of their audience that they would die off. I did not then guess that social media would become so important in disseminating news as it has, but now see Facebook, Twitter, Google and their ilk are just as Leftist as the mainstream media had been and is. There is truth on Newsmax, One America, talk radio, and some conservative websites, but the bulk of the press and social media are dangerour anti-American propagandists.

Afraid of Muslims

Very few folks hate Muslims but plenty are petrified of them. I think there are hundreds of millions of peace-loving members of the Islamic faith, but also many millions who also seek violent jihad. Perhaps, there will be a reformation within Islam to drive out the Islamists, but that is far from certain.

Really No Difference

Does the motivation for hating Jews even matter? I think not because much anti-Semitism is not rational. It is nothing the Jews have done or are doing to engender the hate. There is nothing we could change or cease to stop the hatred. Jews must seek non-Jewish allies for the sake of survival, but we must be willing, able, and ready to defend ourselves.

In Their Sights

Just about everyone wants to dispense with Israel, even some Jews. Of course and thankfully, there are still many Gentiles who would gladly protect Jews and the Jewish State.

All to Israel

If every Jew in the world sought sanctuary in the Jewish State, they would be playing right into the mad mullahs' hands. Iran wants an ingathering of the Jewish people in Israel so that they can wipe them out in one strike. The Islamic Republic loves the ire directed at world Jewry and does all it can to fan the flames.

The prevailing wisdom has not won me over yet.

Our Safe Place

My off the boat Jewish great grandmother Eva Sholiton Cohen ("Nana") said we should kiss the ground to be in safe and free America rather than in fear of Cossacks and the Tsar she grew up in before fleeing Russia. Watching the recent paroxysm of violence directed against Jews on the streets of America would shock Nana. Every decent American, Jew and Gentile alike, should demand that those who assaulted Jews in the US must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and that Jews deserve to be able to conduct their lives in America free from the terror they routinely faced in the Old World.

Bernie Loves Himself

I can not say Bernie Sanders is as some have termed a "self-loathing Jew". The Vermont Senator talks a great socialist game while living it up, not just like a capitalist (few do as well as Bernie), but like a king. Multiple homes, flying private aviation, limos to convey him to talk show appearances, Sanders is no man of the people but a hypocrite who does not hate himself but appears to despise most of the other members of the faith into which he was born. It is no surprise he gives cover to anti-semites attacking Israel. Sanders is two-faced and not just against the Jewish State but America as she was founded.

Biden Stabs Israel

American support and aid to Israel is in the balance if they continue to defend themselves from genocidal terror. The Biden cabal will leave the Jewish State to the tender mercies of Hamas, who is launching rockets and other attacks unabated. The IDF will have to cease fire but no similar restraint will be demanded of the jihadists. This is the world turned upside down, with America's usurper regime embracing evil.

Peace for Jews

The Jewish people do not even enjoy peace in their graves. Jihadists have ignited suicde bombs in Jewush cemeteries where all the Jews there were already dead. Thay hate Jews so much they are willing to kill themselves simply to desecrate Jewish graves.

Everywhere Is Malmo

Sweden never had a substantial number of Jews, but those who were there were rarely faced with hostility from their neighbors. In recent decades, that has all changed. Now, the even fewer Jews who stayed in country as things turned bad for them can not leave their homes comfortably while looking discernibly Jewish. It is almost never traditional Scandanavians that threaten or harm the Jews. It is usually people from a Muslim background intimidating the tiny minority. We saw all over the world that demonstrations took place in the last few days supporting "Palestine" that never existed as an independent entity and calling for violence against Jews. Jews have to hide their faith in Malmo and now just about everywhere else.

Just One Side

In Warped World, the victim is not permitted to defend herself from the perpetrator, In Toronto, demonstrators in sympathy with the non-existent "Palestine" were allowed to attack Jews. You can not have free speech for only one side in a conflict or controversy. It was the obligation of Canadian authoriies to protect Canadian Jews. They failed in that duty.

Everybody is trying to get nowhere fast// If they ever find anything decent, they won't know how to make it last

Above All Murder

So long as Muslims are a minority in an area, they shout, "Islamaphobia" and "persecution". When they are in the ascendancy, they force their non-Muslim neighbors to convert, pay prohibitive taxes to be protected, or simply murder the infidels. This is a "Religion of Peace" the same way my oven is a freezer.

Murder Above All

Too many members of the Religion of Peace do not seem to have peace in their hearts. They apparently only want to stop the hearts of infidels like the precious five year old boy they blew up in one of their recent attacks on the Jewish State. Between having sadistic killers win or wiping out the terrorists, I say Israel plow on until the last jihadist either lays down his arms or ceases his breath.

Israel Strikes BACK

The Jewish State did NOT initiate this conflict. The IDF did NOT fire the first shot. Israeli forces are NOT targeting innocent civilians, but are carefully taking out the bloody-handed terrorists who are trying to kill as many Israeli civilians as possible with indiscriminate rocket and missile fire. Israel is waging a war of self-defense against genocidal jihadists.

The Naked Emperor

The usurper and the cabal behind him have no idea how to make the situation better. They have no desire to improve the lot and lives of the American people. All the Biden regime wants to do is perpetuate its own power.

Deterrence Through Force

Israel must do whatever it takes to pacify the violence that is being inflicted on it. There is no moral equivalence between jihadists trying to murder innocent civilians and the IDF taking out the terrorists trying to kill Israelis. Israel may ultimately have to kill thousands to stop the rocket and missile terror, but if that does occur, all the blood will be on the terrorists' hands.

Congregation of Sinners

The Biden cabal is completely infested with abortion-pushing America haters. They despise the nation from our founding. The usurper ran as a "uniter" who was going to "unify" the United States. Now in power, this regime institutes set-asides that specifically exclude white people, particularly white men. That sure is the way to bring folks together.

Multitude of Sins

The "pandemic" has allowed the theft of more liberty than any other event in human history. Folks were locked in their homes and had their businesses shut down the world over. COVID even facilitated the US Presidency being stolen.

Assassins in Uniform

In places of with unrest, it is often claimed police are "hired killers". In the United States, they most certainly are not. Almost all law enforcement in America is honorable. BLM and their ilk have smeared American police as "slave catchers". These Leftist are deranged. Many cops are deployed in the US to keep minority communities safe, and murder rates skyrocket in areas where police are defunded.

Which Costs More?

Is it more expensive to buy Clintons or Bidens? Either way, I would say it is pretty cheap.

Sold Old Joe

I think through Hunter, Red China bought Joe. Russia is just leasing him through the Burisma dealings. Iran seems to be pure volunteer work for this most corrupt American politician.

Sake of Decency

There are no more moral standards. California may elect a transgender governor, who might well be the most honest person seeking the state's highest office. The Republican Party has long sorted out its own trash, kicking out anyone revealed to be engaged in sexual impropieties, while the Democrats with no standards had no reason to expel their Gerry Studds or Barney Frank. I find flat out hypocrisy to be every bit as wrong as sexual deviancy.

The Greatest Theft

Stealing an election was just a prelude. Robbing Americans of their liberty is the real prize. The cabal has not merely captured the highest office in the land; it is in the process of ripping the United States from its founding ethos and moral underpinning, all while flooding the nation with foreigners who could not succeed in their own countries. You will not recognize the remnants of America at the end of the Biden regime.

Jazz It Up

Are there any hepcats left? Do they still sometimes have monkeys on their backs? With Fentanyl flowing free, does anyone take the needle or just let it be? The music now mostly sucks. I would just as well hear roaring trucks. Can a jazz man still draw a crowd and make a few bucks?

Only a Number

You grow older every year, which of course means you have one fewer year left. None of us (with the exception of the fictional Benjamin Button) are getting any younger. I am feeling my clock ticking every day.

Ups or Downs

The downs cheated thier way into power. We need an upbeat, growing nation, embracing greatness again. We are a big people in a big nation that will do what it takes to have a big future.

Plan for Success

What part of the Biden agenda will help you? Which portion of what the cabal intends to do to us will make America better? None of it will because improving our nation or the lot of working Americans are not objectives of the plotters.

Scheme for Failure

Barack Hussein Obama was going to manage the decline of the United States "gracefully". I would have thought any US leader orchestrating suffering in his own country was by definition "mismanaging",but to the Left, the "managed decline" of America was a worthwhile objective. Corrupt old Joe is certainly furthering his boss's aims in this regard. You can not foster near universal deapendency on government and imagine there is a way to pay for it as Biden is doing. The advantage Joe has over Obama is the former President did not have a pandemic to credit, blame, or do the work of creating additional dole dwellers that COVID did for the Biden cabal.

Prescription for Pain

If the Biden agenda is implemented, America will have hyperinflation, rampant street crime, and quite possibly a civil or race war. Other that that, his speech last night was alright. At least corrupt old Joe didn't go off script or collapse from exertion at the end, but he did suggest bank-breaking spending and smear Trump supporters as insurrectionist while exaggerating the events of January 6.

Smoke and Mirrors

The cabal will prop up the corrupt, senile liar tonight to pander and slander. Biden will obfuscate, take credit for things he did not do, and blame the Trump administration and Republicans for what he has not accomplished (which is just about everything, because Biden has done nothing good and never will).

Charting Our Course

The self-anointed elite on both coasts, those around Washington DC, and a bunch of bizarre folks in entertainment, media, and in university communities want to dictate to over two hundred million Americans who disagree vigorously with their beliefs. Are there racists and reactionaries in this country? You bet, and the coastal opinion makers and race grievance peddlers are doing their best to create more each day. I do not want to comply with the diktats of an illegitimate regime that is in the thrall of wierdos and Marxists and is attempting to engineer the disintegration of the nation as it was founded.

The Puppet Masters

Would you like to know who is pulling the strings that control Biden and Harris? I sure would, but know the compromised corporate media has no interest in exposing the cabal.

Obey Your Betters!

As more evidence emerges that masks are doing no good but are harming people, do not expect mask mandates to be lifted. This is because the requirement was not issued for your health but their control. Incontrovertible proof that masks are ineffective means nothing to those seeking a symbol of our submission to them.

Terror and War

No US leader has heartened jihadis across the globe and the mad mullahs of Iran more than Joe Biden. Biden's appeasement of Tehran and resumption of payments to the Palestinian Authority have encouraged more violence. Biden's weakness has destabilized the world. Biden and the cabal running him are tying Netanyahu's hands in an effort to make sure he is removed as Israel's Prime Minister while reinforcing the theocracy of thugs trying to produce nuclear weapons in Natanz.

A Speed Demon

A promising young basketball player thought he could handle a car going over twice the speed limit. It cost him his life. You should always realize your own limitations and those of the vehicle you are driving. You may not get there fast if you drive safely, but you may not get there at all if you don't.

Stabbed in Back

Republican politicians are smiling at their voters and then going right along with Democrats in selling us out to oligarchs and corporations. The GOP-dominated legislature of my home state has feigned a high-minded stand against vaccine passports and a mandate of the COVID puncture by state authorities, which is great as far as it goes, but deliberately excludes private entitiies. After all these Republicans say they do not want to interfere in the operations of a business. Their stand then means virtually nothing, as companies will require their employees to take the "vaccine" and perhaps even deny potential customers access to their premises if they can not produce proof of "vaccination". Under the fake protection of civil liberty that will likely be passed and signed by Governor Lee, Tennesseans will still have to live under vaccine passports. They will just be imposed by corporations instead of the state. It would have been very easy to pass a law preventing private entities operating within Tennessee from imposing vaccine mandates and passports, but our two-faced legislators, who only pretend to value freedom, were having none of that.

Very Knife Girl

An honor student and peacemaker who happened to sixteen years old and black had her life stolen by a cop in Columbus, Ohio yesterday. We must all ignore the kitchen knife she was about to plunge into another young "lady".

Very Knives Man

I heard a report about a fellow who stabbed a woman over thirty times. He had previously been convicted in a slaying. What the heck was he doing out on the street again to harm someone else? If people like him offend but are not kept away from the innocent, you no longer have a justice system and communities are far from safe.

Your Hijab Face

The mask is your declaration of surrender to the elite and the COVID cultists. It is like the burka in Muslim nations signifying a woman's submission to Islam.

Hole in Hole

The Indianapolis murderer who ultimately killed himself lived down to his name. The hole Hole dug for himself will have him in the deepest burning pits forever.

Why Venerate Thugs?

Do you think George Floyd might have sold your granddaughter drugs or mugged you? Do you think young gang member Adam Toledo might have helped your son score some crack or robbed your store at gunpoint? These folks that did not survive their encounters with police were NOT exactly model citizens. In fact, they were dangerous criminals who would have preyed on you and your family.

Good Old Days

I just do not remember ever being out at thirteen years old at two-thirty in the morning. I can not ever recall going out to pop off a few rounds at cars. So far as memory serves, I do not think I ever ran from police. I guess these are just different times. I mean how dare that cop think he deserved to come home at the end of his shift.

Manipulative Strategies Employed

Looters are going to take every advantage. Democrat politicians are exploiting every police shooting and are in many cases stoking the mob instead of trying to calm it. You might say many Democrat leaders and rioters have the same objective, or at the very least, are acting symbiotically.

All Bad Choices

If you fight with cops, you are making a mistake that may cost your life. If you make police chase you at over one hundred miles per hour when they try to enforce the speed limit, you may wreck and kill yourself and some other folks. If you shoot at law enforcement during your escape attempt, chances are you will end up in a bad way. When you swallow a bunch of narcotics to hide them from authorities, you may well overdose. A bunch of felons have done one or a combination of these things resisting police and been paralyzed in one incident and killed in several other events. I support the police when they give lawful orders and act within the law. When criminals fight their arrest, it does not upset me a bit that they suffer for their stupidity.

Incident in Iran

The mad mullahs that enslave the Iranian people had a bit of a setback when one of their nuclear facilities sustained some damage. This will not stop them from their ultimate aim to acquire atomic weapons, but may slow them down. Everyone knows Tehran intends to try to destroy the Jewish State, and it is quite possible that Israel is the entity sabotaging Iran's nukes. The unfortunate truth is that it will take all-out war to ultimately thwart the theocratic fanatics from gaining the Bomb and using it to destroy Tel Aviv.
