Lessons learned (or not learned)




"Our ungovernable juggernaut continues to lumber down the road. What are the lessons we have learned as of late? Nothing. Nada. We are still as confused and incompetent as we have always been. The Democrats don't know how to govern - only spend. The Republicans don't know how to govern - only run purity tests on themselves."



How is the week going so far? Lots and lots of activity - mostly not good. Some might say that on the plus side, we finally had enough votes to impeach Mayorkas. Okay, and then what? First off, not a single Democrat went along with the Republicans to vote this Biden puppet out. That is a problem. However, three Republicans peeled off and voted NOT to impeach. To me, that is not a problem. Why not? Impeachment of this guy was a waste of time. Yes, Mayorkas is worthy of being fired. But then what? Biden would put another stooge in that spot, just to do his bidding. 

Besides this waste of time impeaching Mayorkas, a special election was held in New York's Long Island district to replace the disgraced George Santos. First off, I agree that Santos was a flawed candidate, and should have been better vetted before the election. How we won is still a mystery, but he did. That being said, as flawed and corrupt as he was, Democrats would have NEVER allowed him to be thrown out of the House if he was blue instead of red. Especially if they had a razor thin majority. But the Republicans did. And they had an excellent candidate to replace him. Ahead of the Democrat in every important issue. But she lost. And there goes the seat, and the razor thin majority just got thinner. 

What else happened yesterday? The new inflation numbers came out, and inflation is still a bug-a-boo for Biden. Especially for rent, housing and insurance. Because of the new inflation numbers, the stock market tanked. And how is the market right now? If you have stock, enjoy the gains. If you are working, beware. Many jobs are going to be downsized or eliminated in the next couple of years. If you are looking to buy your first home, good luck. If your skills and/or investment lie in AI, quantum computing, robotics, or batteries - you might have a rosy future. If your skills lie in yesterday's economy - good luck to you.

Today, the Senate will get ready to have a trial for Mayorkas. Meanwhile, the Senate passed a giant funding bill for Ukraine, Israel, Red Sea, and Taiwan. But without any border fixes, it will die in the House. Meanwhile, about 9 out of 10 Americans now think our current President is either senile, or a dead man walking. The House by the way, still needs to get all their funding bills passed and then over to the Senate. This needs to happen pronto, or else guess what? Another CR will be in the works.

Our ungovernable juggernaut continues to lumber down the road. What are the lessons we have learned as of late? Nothing. Nada. We are still as confused and incompetent as we have always been. The Democrats don't know how to govern - only spend. The Republicans don't know how to govern - only run purity tests on themselves. Meanwhile, America the great, has become America the disappointment. While our allies shake their heads, our adversaries lick their lips. Meanwhile, our president does not know what day it is.
