Can we survive - a 7 month campaign?




"The lap dog media has been an arm of the DNC for quite a while now. The sad part is most normal folks realize it. So, when the press prints some garbage, that is how it is received." 


Both Joe Biden and Donald Trump now have enough delegates to clinch the nomination. Any intrigue left? Or is this a slam dunk election season? Well, here is some items left to ponder. Biden has his running mate (lucky him), but Trump does not. Robert Kennedy is still a factor, and he has yet to pick a running mate. Rumor has it, the choice will NOT be Aaron Rogers or Jesse the Body. It will be Nicole Shanahan (a tech lawyer from California). 

I was thinking about this the other day. Since the Deep State still has Trump tied up in many court appearances, getting a running mate identified is crucial. Why? The running mate can handle some campaign duties. Hit different states. I know the Donald is the big draw, but the right kind of running mate can really help. Somebody who is very popular. Like maybe Kristi Noem.

But what about the media? What can they do during this dearth of election news stories? That is a simple answer. They will make crap up. Take things out of context. For both candidates? No, silly - only Donald Trump. Like how? Like the "bloodbath" story. "If Trump loses the election, there will be a bloodbath." Did Trump say that? Sort of. He was talking about China's auto plants in Mexico. If Trump wins, Trump will put a 100% tariff on any Chinese car coming off the line. However, if Biden wins, there will be a "bloodbath" in our auto industry. 

Expect to see more of this crap as the months drag on. As the old saying goes, the media will be ensconced in telling "lies, damn lies, and statistics." Truth will be a stranger, whereas sophism will be the norm. Trump just needs to stick to one subject - how things in this country were under a Trump Administration as compared to how they are today. Night and day.

At one time, a free press was considered to be the "Fourth Estate of Power". They existed to cover politics in a fair and unbiased manner. Those days are long gone. The lap dog media has been an arm of the DNC for quite a while now. The sad part is most normal folks realize it. So, when the press prints some garbage, that is how it is received. 

Can we survive until November 5th? I sure hope so. Can the press survive until November 5th? Maybe not. Maybe they will spin themselves into a supercilious oblivion.

Hell in Haiti





"History is being written right now. The island of Haiti is about ready to implode. People in this hemisphere, will starve to death."


What a mess. Right on our doorstep is an island, which is devolving into a living hell. Why? Many reasons, but the most common is corruption. In 2010, there was a terrible earthquake which struck Haiti. Hundreds of thousands died. The island was left in tatters. If not earthquakes, it was hurricanes which plagued the Haitians.

But the biggest menace was not nature. The biggest menace was Bill Clinton. Billions of dollars were raised worldwide to help Haiti. Massive debt relief was granted to Haiti. Bill Clinton was the co-chair of an organization (Interim Haiti Recovery Commission) to ensure massive relief dollars were spent wisely. The were not. Putting Clinton is charge of that money, was like putting the cat in charge of the canary. 

Jack Brewer, football player turned evangelist, was on the news this morning. He just returned from Haiti, as he was trying to get over a hundred orphans situated. The picture he painted of life in Haiti right now was like something out of a horror movie. The island is inches away from a civil war, and the gangs now have the upper hand. Relief money and food sent over to help the starving and impoverished evaporates as soon as hits the island. Instead of health and wealth like neighboring Dominican Republic has, Haiti only has starvation and death.

Every island in the region is fortifying its borders, getting ready for boatloads of refugees to come washing ashore. Florida is doing the same. Why? The first thing which happened when Haiti's government crumbled, was the prisons were opened and 4,000 convicts were released. When the Haitians come knocking, how in the world can they be vetted? Who is a convict, who is a gang banger, who is just a citizen? Or will we do like Joe Biden always does. Let everyone in, no vetting allowed, and worry about it later.

Bill Clinton. If not flying with Epstein many times on the "Lolita Express", he was screwing the poor people from Haiti. But don't worry about Slick Willy and wife. This poor couple from Arkansas, are now worth $45,000,000. Huh? How can that be? They have been public servants. Ask just about anyone in Haiti. They will tell you much of the money the Clintons have that belongs to them.

History is being written right now. The island of Haiti is about ready to implode. People in this hemisphere, will starve to death. Here is the irony. Just a few days ago, it was reported that Norway is now the richest nation on Earth. The highest standard of living. At the same time, the nation which has one of the lowest standards of living is Haiti, and in our neighborhood. Rich man, poor man. 

We have to get out of the habit of sending scads of money to an area with no accountability. Am I saying not to send money to Haiti? Nope - they need it - now. But right now, Blinken wants to send $300M over to Port-au-Prince. That would be a bad idea, as it would be like sending money to Gaza. Until you can ensure the right money gets into the right hands, sending money or food to combat zones is a fool's errand. It ends up with the bad guys, or just wasted. 

Maybe until we get a game plan down, we can send Bill Clinton over there by himself. We can see how that works out. Maybe Slick Willie can explain what happened to billions of dollars for Haiti relief which somehow evaporated. Maybe to ensure Bill does not get lonesome, we could send his wife with him. Just wondering...

"The odor of mendacity"






"Remember this in November. Want more of the same? Vote for the re-election of Slow Joe (and any other Democrats). If you want to air out the stench of mendacity, vote Trump as well as Republican all the way down the ticket. The stakes could not be higher."     



By Jove, I think we finally have it! For decades now, I have been trying to figure out the proper term for the way Democrats act. Hubris, treacherousness, treasonous, tone deaf, authoritarian, and the list goes on. But then yesterday, by a stroke of luck, a Democrat judge removed the love of Fanni Willis' life from the Trump trial. Many thought the judge would remove both of them, but you know - politics. He is up for re-election in a very black district in Georgia, and to remove a black female prosecutor might have led to his demise. 

By ordering the removal of her paramour attorney boyfriend, the judge said this trial had taken on the "odor of mendacity". WHOA! That's it! Mendacity = the tendency to lie! This entire trial so far has been a farce. Its only purpose was to sidetrack the next president of the United States. But Fanni should not breathe a sigh of relief just as yet. She is still being investigated by the Georgia State Senate as well as the United States House of Representatives.

As this issue was being dissected on the national news all day yesterday, it gave me pause to ponder. Why is it, Democrats are so deceitful? Why lie all the time? Why obfuscate on every issue? Look at what happened recently up in Massachusetts. An ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, who was flown here at taxpayer expense, was staying in a refugee shelter. He was from Haiti. For reasons which are known only to him, he decided to rape a special needs minor female. When the Democrat Governor was asked about this heinous crime, she said in so many words, "s**t happens".

This ILLEGAL was here due to Biden's "Special Haitian Parole Program". What? You have never heard of this program? Very few have. But this program has flown (in the dark of night) over 300,000 illegals into this country. Deceitful, dishonest, and stinks of the odor of mendacity.

This is why Mayorkas can sit and smirk when being questioned by Congress. "Things on the border are getting better" he might say. How can he say that? The deceitful Democrats have come up with a better way. Instead of crossing the border, heck - just fly them over the border. By the thousands. Why? This is how you win elections in the 2020's. Flood the zone. Have millions more instant Democrats. When asked about this, Biden and Mayorkas lie through their teeth. All of a sudden, that odor of mendacity is back - in full force.

Who is the liar in chief? The one all Democrats seek to emulate? Our own Irish boy, the man who "beat the hell" out of that racist Corn Pop, the "Big Guy", Joseph Robinette Biden. Biden and his group of misfits he calls his cabinet, have really done a job on our country. By the way - did you hear the State Department did it again? Pulled out of Haiti without getting the Americans out first. This was an Afghanistan deja vu all over again. Only this is worse. The gang leader in charge of Haiti right now is nicknamed "Bar-b-que" (for obvious reasons). What could possibly go wrong? Every person in the State Department (especially Blinken) needs to be fired.

Remember this in November. Want more of the same? More chaos? More entropy? Vote for the re-election of Slow Joe (and any other Democrats). If you want to air out the stench of mendacity, vote Trump as well as Republican all the way down the ticket. The stakes could not be higher.

Up Chuck Schumer






"The good news for the good guys, is the chances of the Senate flipping red in November are looking very good. The Senate is the Republicans to lose. We need to take it back, and then hopefully Schumer will get drop kicked back to New York. We don't need him, nor do we want him. It is as simple as that."    


What's up Chuck? Or is it "Up Chuck" Schumer. How you managed to become the head of the United States Senate is a mystery to most. Why? You are an idiot sir. Just because you are Jewish, does not give you the chops to tell our closest ally in the Middle East their government is corrupt, and they need a new election. If you want to flap your gums at another country (or government) which really is corrupt, tell Gaza, Russia, Iran, or China they need new elections.

What should Schumer do short of resignation? First off, he could call Israel and apologize for being an ass. For speaking out of place. Or he could ask Slow Joe to call Israel for him. But since Slow Joe has called Bibi an a** hole on a hot mic, maybe they would not be such a good idea. Or Schumer could just join the Squad and be done with it. He may not be of the same faith as the Squad, but he sure thinks like them.

Elections have consequences. The last Senate election, when Warlock and the other misfit got elected instead of two very qualified candidates, the razor-sharp balance in the Senate tilted over to the Democrats. And just like that, Up Chuck became the Senate Leader. When that happened, a hush spread over the shire. Those who know how Schumer operates, knew that the combination of Biden in the White House and Schumer in the Senate was indeed a witch's brew. 

If I believed in karma, my idea of how it works would have been Schumer vacationing over in Israel on October 7th. Where Chuck could have seen the horrible carnage up close and personal. People who saw the elderly getting shot in the face numerous times, babies beheaded or baked on ovens, and young women raped and then shot - saw things no human should have to see. But Schumer did not see the carnage. He was in his luxury digs back in New York. 

The good news for the good guys is the chances of the Senate flipping red in November are looking very good. The Senate is the Republicans to lose. We need to take it back, and then hopefully Schumer will get drop kicked back to New York. We don't need him, nor do we want him. It is as simple as that.

Is Bernie right this time?





"I have been watching and reading about AI recently. Not how it works - that is above my paygrade. No, I have been reading about how AI will affect the workforce. Our workforce. A recent article I saw on YouTube said the changes due to AI will first be felt in 2025 (next year)." 


Bernie Sanders, our favorite socialist in the Congress, has come up with another hair brained scheme which he would like to make into a law. Mandate a 32-hour work week and get paid for 40. What a knucklehead idea! What mush! Or is it? The world is changing, the workplace is changing, and we are changing. Maybe Bernie is right this time. 

I have been watching and reading about AI recently. Not how it works - that is above my paygrade. No, I have been reading about how AI will affect the workforce. Our workforce. A recent article I saw on YouTube said the changes due to AI will first be felt in 2025 (next year). We could end up losing over 25 million jobs to automation. From there, it only gets worse. By the end of the decade (six years from now), Goldman Sachs predicts that over 300 million jobs in the US and Europe will be gone. 

I have not told this story for a while. When I was in high school, I went to a state-wide youth conference. The topics were education and the future. Some geeky kid from the south side of the metro, and an interesting take on our future. "Leisure time", he ranted about. We will have so much leisure time, we won't know what to do. As I went through life, and at times was busier than a beaver, I thought about that kid. Where is all this leisure time, I would think? Well, now it might be coming - and fast. 

My wife and I are now fully retired, so this four-day work week will not affect us at all. But it will affect our kids. And our grandkids. My most paramount thought I have had about the future as of late, is much more grandiose. We need to be educating and training our young folk how to live in this brave new world which is coming. And when is it coming? It is already here.

Many of the new jobs that Joe Biden claims have been created due to his "Biden-omics" are only place holders. Many of them will be gone in an instant. New jobs, many of which have not yet been invented, is where the action will be. Where the future will be. The question is, how do we train for something we know so little about? That is the $64,000 question.

The new "Roaring 20's" got off to a slow start with the pandemic. But now it is picking up speed - and lots of it. By the time we get to 2030, our world will hardly be recognizable. Stay tuned and buckle up. Things are about to get very interesting.

What the what is going on??




"Will there ever be news so bad it will cause the market to tank? Maybe Biden getting re-elected. That is as bad as it gets." 


Yesterday, the market had a very good day. Want to know why? Me too. There was a time not too long ago, when there was some "disruption in the force", that the market would reflect that hiccup. Not any longer. What am I muttering about? Let's just look at yesterday from an economic and geopolitical standpoint.

Item One - Inflation is ticking back up again. Joe Biden wants us to do cartwheels that inflation is no longer 8%. But it is still over 3%. That means that goods we buy are 3% higher than last year. And soon, many goods will be 20% higher than when Biden took office. For most families, that is a back breaker. 

Item Two - With inflation ticking up again, the chances of the fed lowering rates are going out the window. In fact, if inflation goes up much higher, the fed might actually raise rates again. What does this mean? The price of a house is 20% higher than when Biden took office. That is maybe a good thing if you are selling. However, the mortgage rate is still over 6% rather than 2.5%. That is a bad thing if you are buying or selling. Bottom line? The housing market is slowing as more and more people cannot afford to move up into a more expensive home.

Item Three - Yesterday, was the long-awaited Special Council Herr hearing on Capitol Hill. The subject was Herr's Biden report. Too bad it was yesterday, as it shoved the other hearing off the air. And that hearing was very important. All the intelligence chiefs were testifying about the current threat level in our country. You know, because Uncle Joe destroyed our borders, and let everyone from all over - in. Bottom line? The threat level has never been higher, and it will be a miracle if some bad actors don't take advantage of our vulnerabilities. Thanks a lot Biden - this is all on you. 

Item Four - If our internal threat is not enough right now, Vladimir Putin thought it would be a good time (sensing Biden's weaknesses), to tell the US we are due for a nuclear war. I know, I know - Putin has done that before. But one day, it might not be a bluff. It might be the real thing. And then everything stops. Nothing else will matter. Life will not go on. But don't worry - Biden put a 1% increase in his 2025 budget to counteract the Russian threat. Big whoop. 

Now with all that (and there was more), why in the world would the market go up over 200 points yesterday? Back in the days when up was up and black was black (and not the opposite like it is today), bad news like this would have sent the investors scurrying for the bond market. Not today.

Will there ever be news so bad it will cause the market to tank? Maybe Biden getting re-elected. That will be as bad as it gets.

Physican, heal thyself!





"The House has already told Biden his 2025 budget is DOA. Go back and submit a real budget. Until then, we will keep doing extensions on the 2023 budget. Why? That is the way we are doing business these days. But in the meantime, Biden himself can help. He and the Biden crime family can pay the back taxes they have cheated on."


"I don't care if you make a billion dollars. Hell, I am a capitalist. But come on man, you need to pay your fair share!" Thus, speaks the man whose son is a tax cheat, his brother is probably a tax cheat, and Joe Biden himself could be a tax cheat. In other words, physician, heal thyself! Bottom line? In order for Biden's canard of a 2025 budget to have a snowball's chance of passing anything but gas, it would mean that most of us believe there are trillions of dollars out there, which could be collected in back taxes. Really Joe? 

Of all the piles of goo which have been put forward by this administration so far, this is the worst. It is a $7.3 trillion dollar budget (a mere 4.7% increase over the already inflated 2024 budget), with the promise it will reduce down our national debt. I get it - spend more money and our debt will go down. How? The IRS shaking down millions of innocents (and honest) taxpayers. Well, guess what Uncle Joe? This is not the la-la land that your mind lives in. This is a prescription for a $50T debt by 2030. 

Another thing which is wrong with Biden's budget is military spending. Inflation is 3.5%, and Biden wants only 1% more on the military. That is a cut you old fool! At a time when you have made the world much more dangerous, you want to cut our forces? Our military should be going up by 10%, with the proper offsets in all the Candyland programs you have started. This is the real world now Biden. We are low on ammo, need more ships, and have to revamp our recruiting and retention. How so? Get rid of all that DEI and pronoun training BS for a starter.

The best part of this fairy tale is Biden has the gall to falsely boast this fat pig of a budget has the ability to lower out debt by $3T over the next decade. How? Taxing the socks off of our wealthiest citizens and those evil corporations. I have tried to tell Biden this before in my blog. The wealthy don't have to live here. They can move to a much friendlier tax country. The corporations don't have to locate here. They can go elsewhere. Trump understands this - you don't. To attract wealth into our country, it all starts with the tax base. Have a lucrative tax base, the wealthy will come. Have a confiscatory tax base, the opposite will happen.

The House has already told Biden his 2025 budget is DOA. Go back and submit a real budget. Until then, we will keep doing extensions on the 2023 budget. Why? That is the way we are doing business these days. But in the meantime, Biden himself can help. He and the Biden crime family can pay the back taxes they have cheated on. Check Hunter's laptop. I am sure all the information needed is there.
