With Pants Down

On December 7, 1941, the United States was caught unaware and unprepared for what the Empire of Japan had been planning. There had been some speculation that Japan had intentions to respond to the pressure FDR was ratcheting up against Japanese aggression and conquest, and even an early radar sighting of the enemy flying in for the attack, but radar was a relatively new device and what was observed was discounted by higher ranks than the initial radar man and not passed on to the servicemen about to be attacked. Would a few minutes of extra warning prevented the massacre? Probably not entirely, but the defense would have been more vigorous and the casualties likely less. On September 11, 2001, America was again subjected to a surprise attack. Constant vigilance is required by our great nation. 

Prospects for DOGE

There is certainly plenty of fat that could be trimmed from the Federal Government. Even as I write, the cabal behind the Biden regime and the Deep State itself are placing obstacles up to the Department of Government Efficiency and entrenching themselves to keep Trump fro succeeding. You see, everyone from slackers who work for you but have not been in the office since COVID to certain Republican Senators, love the Swamp and hate the taxpayers. There may ultimately be some small cuts at the margins, but four years is likely not enough to drain the quagmire that enslaves Americans. 

A Brazen Murder

Would you want to visit New York City right now? You are not really allowed to defend yourself and your family there, and the authorities are not even protecting executives arriving for business meetings. 

Not Shaping Policy

In some Presidencies, the Cabinet is essential in governing the direction the nation will be headed. For Trump, the Cabinet will be for implementation of Forty-seven's own ideas and policy prescriptions. Do you see Trump deferring to anyone advising him over anything? 

Korea in Turmoil

South Korea has declared martial law. The leader has declared that North Korea has sympathizers within Seoul. Few doubt that there are Fifth Columnists there, but a cynic also realizes this crackdown will be a great way to remove opponents who have nothing to do with Pyongyang. 

Pardon Me Boy

To the surprise of almost nobody, corrupt and faded Joe pardoned his son and bag man Hunter Biden. I had thought senile Joe might resign in favor of Harris with the arrangement already made that Kamala would pardon all the criminal Bidens, but Alzheimer Joe could not wait apparently. The Bidens are a national disgrace and stain on the nation and world! 

Demon of Inflation

There is a restaurant chain in my home state of Tennessee that is somewhat similar to the more well-known White Castle that used to occasionally sell twenty square little burgers for one dollar even in my lifetime (fifty-eight years). When we drove past one of these eateries yesterday, Mom read the sign and said it was promoting "12 Krystals for just $14". I do not know if they were ever health food or even all that good, but they sure are not worth over a dollar apiece. From five cents a burger to one dollar and seventeen cents each is mighty testament to inflation run wild.
