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?
