Then there is the latest Durham report...

"Ms. Nancy said after Trump was out of office, the White House needs to be 'fumigated'. Ms. Nancy had it half right. It is not the White House which needed to be fumigated. It is the rest of Washington which resides in the middle of the 'swamp'."

Well, okay. Maybe it was not timely enough to help anything. But this weekend, the latest version of the Durham Report "dropped". And it is a hum dinger. Bad for Trump? Nope. Bad for the Hillary Clinton campaign? Ouch. How bad is bad? Heads will (or should) roll bad. Insurrection bad. This makes January 6th and Watergate together look like a cake walk. But, how is the MSM covering this? Crickets...

I don't know all the ins and outs on what this report states, but I do know this much. John Durham has not only uncovered a vile conspiracy during the campaign (hello, Russian hoax), but he also uncovered an even more vile conspiracy after Trump was elected. How vile? And who was involved? We know one name for sure right now. Jake Sullivan. Jake Sullivan? The National Security Advisor to Biden? Yup. Same guy. And he might only be the tip of the iceberg.

When Donald Trump warned us about the "deep state", he knew what he was talking about. That being said, I think even Trump was surprised how deep and wide the Washington "swamp" is. It touches both parties, from coast to coast. I know, I know. Sometimes Donald Trump reacted to the "swamp" in cringe worthy terms. Other times not. A weaker President might have just quit. Thrown in the towel. This conspiracy against Trump, was so deep, so pervasive, it would have broken most people. And - this conspiracy against Trump might have gone all the way up to, and including, January 6, 2021.

If Biden has one ounce of credibility, he would demand Jake Sullivan's resignation. This guy is nothing but an operative for the DNC. First he needs to be fired, and then maybe the perp walk. We not only need to show the American people we have one system of justice which fits all, but we also need to validate our election system to show it is fair, and not rigged.

Thank you John Durham, for having the guts to submit this report. Many who will see it are "swamp dwellers". It is time to clean house. It is funny. Ms. Nancy said after Trump was out of office, the White House needs to be "fumigated". Ms. Nancy had it half right. It is not the White House which needed to be fumigated. It is the rest of Washington which resides in the middle of the "swamp".

I will address more on this once this report becomes more widely circulated. I doubt if it is going to be a "nothing burger". This might be the ticking time bomb we have been expecting. 

 

How America almost lost the space race

"So where are we now, with Biden as our President? Without Musk and Bezos pushing the envelope, pretty much nowhere. I guess space exploration does not fall into the 'Build, Back Better' category. That being said, Musk is way out in front of everyone." 

Provocative title, heh? Yesterday, while it was frigid cold outside, I watched a news article made by some Canadians. Why is that important? No political venting. Just the facts as they saw them. They talked about the race to space, from the 1960's to present day. How America, went from being a dark horse, to the first on the Moon, building the space shuttle, and then - nothing.

Meanwhile, ever since the days of Mao, China has set its sights on outer space. Russia may have had the first satellite, but China was right behind them. Only problem was, their technology was not at that time. Many failures, but a strong determination. In fact, the Canadians laid the fault of letting China catch up with the United States, squarely on Obama. Their words - not mine, "Obama did not give a s**t about outer space. When asked about China wanting to go to the Moon, and we had nothing planned, his response was that we had already been to the Moon." That was a big problem.

But then came Donald Trump. And Elon Musk. And Jeff Bezos. All of a sudden, the interest in going back into space was high again. But by this time, China was already building a space station. Had two rovers on the Moon, one on Mars. They were building a space ship which looked like Musk's "super heavy", and their sights were also set on Mars. Plus, they had signed a joint agreement with Russia to put a base on the Moon to mine Helium 3. 

So where are we now, with Biden as our President? Without Musk and Bezos pushing the envelope, pretty much nowhere. I guess space exploration does not fall into the "Build, Back Better" category. That being said, Musk is way out in front of everyone. That is the benefit of being a visionary. As he is out is front, Bezos is trying to catch up, and NASA continues to stumble all over itself. What would I do, if I were in charge? Outsource the entire space program (with the budgeted dollars), to Elon Musk.

It will be interesting to keep an eye on this new space race. China is the dark horse, and we are even darker, with Musk calling the shots. As much of the space chasers in the world are playing checkers right now, Musk continues to play chess. Sometimes, four dimensional chess. 

Thank you Elon, for being on our side. Thank you, for picking up what NASA has dropped. You are a great American sir - and we appreciate you. 

Prescription for disaster

 

"It is time for Putin to regain some of his sanity and start to withdraw away from the border. The world hates bullies, and have seen enough of them in the 20th century. Collectively, we can't further our humanity, when we have some, who insist on acting like sub-humans."

What in the world could be going through Putin's mind right now? He has over 100,000 troops either on the Russian border with the Ukraine, or playing war games in Belarus (right next door). And right next door to Belarus, is Poland - a member of NATO. We have recently sent 3,000 of our finest combat troops over to Poland, many from the 82nd Airborne. Get the picture? The people of the Ukraine, who have never done anything harsh or truculent towards Mother Russia, are now in the middle of Putin's bullseye.

The State Department has just ordered our embassy staff out of the Ukraine. The President has strongly urged any Americans to leave today or tomorrow. A "Hail Mary" phone call will take place this morning, between Putin and Biden. To discuss what? Please don't? Or what, Mr. Biden? What in the world can we do, other than slap Putin with more sanctions? Putin can retaliate by cyber attacks against us. Against our grid. Remember the cyber attack against meatpacker JBS? That might have just been a taste to what Russia could do to us.

There is one thing that Biden could do which would send shivers up Putin's spine. Go full bore "Trump" on him. Sign an executive order opening up EVERYTHING we have for drilling. Re-tool the Keystone Pipeline. Make us an energy exporter again. All we did when we unilaterally disarmed much of our excess energy production, was empower and enrich Putin. We can take that empowerment back, by simply restoring our energy prowess. Plus - that would lower our recent surge of inflation.

Here is the real sad part of a war with the Ukraine, as mentioned before. The good people of the Ukraine, and Russia, are joined at the hip. They look alike, talk alike, have have much mixed blood between them. Kind of like if the United States decided to invade Canada. Actually, an invasion of the Ukraine by Russia makes little to no sense. What would Russia gain, besides some chest thumping. Russia would immediately become the world's bad boy, trusted by nobody, except other bad guys (like China and the Norks).

A page of history could be written in the next two weeks. The kind of history which will be regrettable. The biggest fears by many strategists in our country, is this will develop into Russians and American soldiers exchanging gunfire. Should that happen, the fuse to something horrible could be very short. 

It is time for Putin to regain some of his sanity and start to withdraw away from the border. The world hates bullies, and have seen enough of them in the 20th century. Collectively, we can't further our humanity, when we have some, who insist on acting like sub-humans. Just saying...

 

Putin (not Ivan), the Terrible

"Keep praying folks. Pray for the Ukraine. Pray for peace. Pray for the safety of our troops over in Europe. An invasion could go from a wildfire to a raging inferno, affecting much of Europe." 

Well, things have changed. Bigly changed. Seems we have picked up some intel very recently, which shows "the ship is about to hit the sand". Meaning - what exactly? Russia, under the leadership of Vladimir Putin, is about to do something very foolish. Not only foolish, but very, very bloody. What is the United States doing to stop this upcoming carnage? Nada. That is, except telling our citizens in the Ukraine to leave - and leave in a hurry.

I heard an interesting take on how and why this is about to happen. My good friends on the left - please don't throw anything at me. These are not my words (although, I think they might hold water). This all started on the first few days of the Biden Presidency. When Joe took a sledge hammer to our energy independence. All of a sudden, Putin received a huge gift. His oil business, was back in business. Full speed ahead.

The energy issue, as well as the fact Putin has zero respect for Biden, has left us in an awkward place. And a weak place. In the not that old days (Trump), word would be clearly delivered to Putin that this move would cost him dearly. And those words would be backed up with force (if need be). With Biden, as soon as the invasion starts, we will be spectators. The rest of NATO will be as useless as....(never mind). 

History might be made before February is out. The biggest battle that Europe has seen since WW II might be brought to us, live and in color. Good people will die. Innocent people will die. Russian soldiers will die. The price of oil will go through the roof (it is already $95). Then what? Will this be a Crimea, Part II? They came, they killed, they conquered, they left. Easy peasy when you are a giant bully picking on a 85 pound weakling. And us? The former great super power? We will be super bystanders instead. 

I am NOT advocating war, especially with Russia. Nothing good could come from that. I do know however, that under Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump - our national defense was "peace through strength". In other words, the stronger our military, the less chance we would need to use it. Now we are in a real pickle. Weak energy. Weak military leadership. And we are stuck with this for another three years. Lord help us.

My sincere hope is that Putin is only playing with us. That there will be no invasion. I don't put much hope on that one, but I can still hope for the long shot. Keep praying folks. Pray for the Ukraine. Pray for peace. Pray for the safety of our troops over in Europe. An invasion could go from a wildfire to a raging inferno, affecting much of Europe. That - could push us over the Rubicon.  

Rebels - with a cause

"Here is a hint for our government - don't screw with the truckers. The industry is already down about 80,000 drivers. Do you really want to piss off the remaining drivers? I think not!"

Authoritarianism. Statism. Dictatorial ruling. Tyranny. These are all things that freedom loving people detest. And these are at the heart of the truckers strike in Canada. The upcoming truckers strike in the US. It is not about the vax. It is not about the mask. Those are only symptoms of the disease. The disease, as freedom loving people know - is tyranny.

By the way, this truckers strike in Canada could be over in five minutes. Rather than castigate the truckers for practicing medical freedom, just say the worst part of the pandemic is over, and all mandates are now lifted. The same holds true for the United States. We have enough problems right now, in both Canada and the US, to not add to them with this self inflicted wound. As much as Trudeau and Biden would like to think they are royalty, and we are their subjects - that is not true, and that ain't ever going happen!

Freedom. It is like a breath of fresh Canadian air. It is a breath of fresh air, which cuts through the stench of government bullying. Of the jack boot of authority, on the necks of free people. What I would love to see happen right now, is for both Biden and Trudeau to jointly declare the worst is over, and all government mandates lifted. Then publicly, and with great fanfare, to thank ALL the first responders, who worked at great personal risk during the early days of the pandemic. That of course, would include truckers. I mean, most of us citizens and patriots realize this - it is just that our statists governments do not.

BTW - for people in government who continue to drink their own bathwater, here is a news flash. If you really want to see how bad our supply chain issue can get, just keep screwing around with truckers. They are a VITAL link in keeping things going. Keeping shelves stocked. Parts coming in to factories. These are NOT the people to screw with. And the public, for the most part, support them.

Rumors are flying right now, that if this issue is not solved and solved soon, the US truckers could disrupt the Super Bowl. Or on March 1st, Slo Joe's SOTU speech. GASP! Really? Wouldn't that be a hoot and a holler? Here is a hint for our government - don't screw with the truckers. The industry is already down about 80,000 drivers. Do you really want to piss off the remaining drivers? I think not!

Thank you Canada, for showing all of us, once again, what freedom looks like. For folks who have red blooded freedom coursing through their veins, this brings a smile to our faces. We don't have King George anymore. We took care of that. We sure the heck don't need Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden gumming up the works. They can be voted out just as easily as they were voted in. 

  

Like father, like son

"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."

Thomas Jefferson

As a proud American, I want to allow freedom loving Canadians to borrow one of our most treasured historical quotes. This quote is accredited to Thomas Jefferson - When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Maybe it has taken the Canadian truckers to bring what is happening in Canada to light. Tyranny. The people under the jack boot of Justin Trudeau. Or, as some call him - Fidel's kid.

Seeing what is happening up in Canada right now, is a ray of hope for all of us. If the truth be known, I have always loved Canada. Love the country, and I have worked with some folks in the Canadian Forces when I was on active duty. Good people. Not too much different than us Yankees. That being said, there have at times I have been disappointed in how far left the Canadians were swinging. But this vax and mask mandate issue in Canada, might have been a tipping point. Kind of like our Boston Tea Party.

There is something about the Canadian leader which I have always found unsettling. Maybe it is in his genes, but he has always reminded me of a despot. Forgive me for saying this - maybe a bit like a Canadian version of the "Pajama Boy". Canada has elected some good leaders in the past, as well as some not so good. Maybe what Biden is doing to America, along with what Trudeau is doing to Canada, will lead to new generation of liberty minded leaders in the future. Both countries deserve that.

Rumors are floating around that we would like to follow Canada's lead with our truckers. Like, maybe a coast to coast event, starting in California, and ending up in Washington DC. Ending up in Washington on March 1st - the day of Slo Joe's SOTU address. Oh, if only that could happen! What a message that would send! What kind of a message? In the United States, as well as in Canada, we are CITIZENS, not SUBJECTS! We have a visceral distain for tyranny.

Thank you Canadian truckers, for showing us once again what firm resolve looks like. As was written in the song Me and Bobby McGee, "Freedom's just another word, for nothin' left to lose".  If we lose our freedom, we really do have nothing. Remember that Justin. Remember that Joe. You both work for us, not visa versa. And you will not rob us of our freedom!

Enemy of the State? Or just that clueless...

"The Republicans have been crystal clear. Once they retake the House and Senate, 'a hard rains is going to fall'. Every bad and horrible thing which Biden has visited on this great nation - will be investigated."

Today in Drudge, was an article from an Israeli news source. Seems the Israelis have discovered that Iran now has a missile which can reach not only Israel, but also the US. How scared is our fearless leader? He wants to give Iran yet another $50B! This is after he and his former boss (Obama), gave the Iranians pallets full of cash. It gives one pause to wonder - is Biden an enemy of the state, or just that clueless?

But it is not just the Iran issue. Biden does many things which leave normal people scratching their heads. Like, wanting to give new crack pipes to "people of color". Why? The ones which are being used in some communities, are not the same high grade like the pipes that Hunter uses. All this paid for - by the US taxpayers.

And the fentanyl which is coming over the southern border has gone from a major killer to almost an exterminator of our young people. Coming in from China, going to the cartels, and then simply walked across our open border. Why is Biden allowing this? Besides all the illegals, the trafficking, the gangs, there is a mountain of deadly drugs. Is he that evil, or just that stupid? You tell me.

Rumor has it, although I have not yet found the documentation, Biden wants to reshape America. Reshape it where 50% of all workers, will belong to unions. What? Why? Unknown. But during the heyday of unions in America, we got up to almost 30% participation. And with the number of jobs which could be automated, becoming automated every year, this goal makes zero sense. Period. But according to the other things Biden has done, this may be stupid, but is the most harmless.

What about Russia? And the Ukraine? Is Biden going to drag us into another war? After Afghanistan, very few people have any confidence in this Commander-in-Chief, or his advisors. What does Putin see right now, when he looks at America? He is probably more confused than many of us are. Like how in the world could this once great superpower, voluntarily neuter itself by electing a guy like Biden? All of a sudden, America has become low fruit on the tree for the world's bad guys. It is like the Obama years all over again - only worse.

The Republicans have been crystal clear. Once they retake the House and Senate, "a hard rains is going to fall". Every bad and horrible thing which Biden has visited on this great nation - will be investigated. In fact, if Biden makes it to the end of his term without being impeached, it will be a miracle. 

Many of the citizens and patriots not only want Biden impeached, but also doing the perp walk. What he has done to this country is criminal. It is sedition and treasonous. It will take years of normal leadership to fix all of the damage this confused old man has done to us. Some of the damage may be permanent. 

I am not naïve. I know there are many puppet masters which are just as guilty as Slo Joe. All of them need to face justice. All need to do the perp walk. Once this problem is fixed in 2022 and 2024, the enemy might still be at the gate. But at least the enemy will not be inside the gate, living in Washington.
