It is time Ms. Berry...

"Why do I bring this up? The same should hold true with people who live in this great country. If you don't like it, don't let the door hit you in the rear as you exit. If you want to stay, shut up and help us row."

We live in an odd county. Please - don't hang up on my until I explain. We have people of immense power, money, and prestige (like Colin Kaepernick and Gwen Berry), who HATE this country. And yet, we have tens of thousands of immigrants and refugees who are trying to cross our southern border (illegally), who don't own spit. Am I confused? Big time.

America is also somewhat of a unique country. We have an open door, for those who want to get out of here. In other words, if this country is so bad, these very successful people who think they have been screwed by living here - can leave. And until Biden came along, anyone who wanted in, could go through the proper channels to get in. Now - Katie bar the door. Thanks to Biden's new open door policy, we might get a million undocumented people this year alone.

I remember years ago, as young Lieutenant, being asked if I would witness a Captain's Mast at sea (one of my few times on a ship). The Captain told this young man (with an attitude) who was being brought up on charges, "If you want out, I can help you with that. But you will not like it on the outside, carrying the type of discharge you might get." Instantly, his attitude then sobered up. He received a shipboard punishment, instead something more draconian. 

Why do I bring this up? The same should hold true with people who live in this great country. If you don't like it, don't let the door hit you in the rear as you exit. If you want to stay, shut up and help us row. We all know this country is not perfect. But it great, and the shining light on the hill, - but still not perfect. That being said, all of us should endeavor to make this country a more perfect union, without making an asses of ourselves, or bringing shame on this great nation. 

Okay - here comes my "Archie Bunker" time. America - love it or leave it. DO NOT embarrass us on the world stage. Ms. Berry - do know right now your countrymen and women are hoping you will fail in the Olympics? Why? They don't want your "stunts" on the podium. Here comes the news flash, and then I will close. There are thousands of times more people in this country who love it here, than not. 

Ms. Berry, unless you change, you DO NOT represent us, regardless of how talented you are. That is all.

Crime watch, or watching crime?

"The cancer eating away at our large cites will go untreated, until these cities all look like hollowed out battle grounds. Orwell, Huxley - get out of town. The socialists have created something far worse than you imagined over 70 years ago. A whole lot worse."  

Yesterday, the Vice President of the Minneapolis City Council, was held "captive" by what the press is calling a group of "activists". Yes, because they were socialists, the press called them "activists". If they were citizens or patriots, they would be called terrorists (or worse). And the act of holding Andrea Jenkins hostage would have been called an insurrection. It would have gone down in the Minneapolis history books as our own version of January 6th.

Wait a minute Bird! Andrea Jenkins is about as left of center as one can get. What in the world did the socialists want with her/him/they? For starters, they wanted to get her commitment to reign in the police some more. More oversite on the cops. Get rid of the Mayor. Save George Floyd Square. Blah, blah, blah. 

Get rid of more cops? How is that working out for our big blue cities? How is that working out for Minneapolis? We all know the answer to that. The socialists also know how that has been working out - like, it is not. So, here is what they could do. Reverse course, admit this did not work, and restore their police forces (that is, if they could get any new recruits these days). Or - go back to chapter one in their play book. Blame the Republicans. And that is exactly what they are doing.

After listening the other day, to some moron who is one Biden's staff, go on and on spewing the "BIG LIE", I had about had it. He was saying defunding police was all on the Republicans - then it hit me. The name for this article. Under adult leadership (which big blue cities do not have right now), the motto is "crime watch". Preventing crime, and when it does happen, going after the perps, and punishing them. However with the socialists in charge, we have been "watching crime". Out of control, wild, wild west crime in most large cities. Gangs of thugs and predators, stalking their prey in not only the dark, but also (brazenly), in broad daylight.

Many think we might have already gone around the bend. We have made the profession of being a law enforcement officer in large cities so toxic, so unwelcome, so unsupported, new recruits are few and far between. Large swaths of mature, experienced cops could smell the roses months ago. They took early retirement, or claimed disability. What is left? Skeleton police forces, who have been handcuffed by their city leaders. 

Where will this end? In the suburbs, exurbs, and further out. That is where people will move, if they can. The cancer eating away at our large cites will go untreated, until these cities all look like hollowed out battle grounds. Orwell, Huxley - get out of town. The socialists have created something far worse than you imagined over 70 years ago. A whole lot worse.  

  

Deal breaker(s)

"How in the world did we get here? Oh yes, that is right. We picked a carpetbagger like Walz over Jeff Johnson in 2018. Then we picked a gaff artist like Biden over Donald Trump in 2020. I guess we now have the government(s) we deserve."   

A friend of mine would say something about people who could not be trusted. Who were double dealers. Who were dishonest. "That person is a piece of work!". Actually, sometimes the word "work" was replaced with another word, much more tawdry. You will never guess who came to mind recently, when I heard that expression. That's right - everybody's pal, Slo Joe.

As the Natives would say many years ago, Biden often talks with a "forked tongue." Or to put it into today's more polite jargon, Joe Biden is at variance with the truth. How so? Joe Biden wants to have bills presented to him which are bi-partisan. That is a lie. But he was caught in this lie. It was right on the TV, brought to us, live and in color.

Infrastructure. A stripped down bill, with no "social engineering" dollars, nor tax increases included. Sounds like something Republicans could reach across the aisle and endorse. And they did. Biden was so happy, he announced to the nation that a bi-partisan group came to him with a passable bill. This will make Biden look VERY good! This was front page news. The logjam was broken. No more single party bills. No more Trump stand offs. We are going down a new path. But hold the phone.

Joe and his merry band of socialists in Congress, also want to put together an ancillary bill which would have all the crapola which was deleted from the bi-partisan bill. Consequently, this bill will not get any Republican votes. Biden knows that. The socialists know that. The House will pass the bill, and the Senate will pass it by reconciliation, with Commie Harris casting the tie breaking vote. Then both bills would be presented to Biden at the same time for signature. However, there was one problem. Biden blabbed the plan to the press prior to the plan working. He would not sign one without the other. The Republicans are furious over this deceit. Now the bi-partisan plan will probably come unraveled.

Slo Joe is not the only one who deals off the bottom of the deck. Our own Taxing Timmy does it also. The special session is coming to an end - quickly. One of the deals that Walz was going to agree to, was law enforcement changes. Both sides compromised on the changes and agreed to new language.

But hold on! Some BIPOC members of the House, called Walz out for being a female cat (if you know what I mean). Walz, being a man of resolute determination (satire), caved like a house of cards. He said he will take executive action to fix this misstep. Plus - (rumor has it), if Walz does not act quickly enough, or deep enough, some socialists might try to occupy the Capital in protest. It will be our own January 6th type of event. 

I have said this before. Our nation is about an inch away from being ungovernable. In an age where we need leaders who can lead, we get double dealers instead. Ideologues. Con artists. Where does that leave the rest of us? Scratching our collective heads.

How in the world did we get here? Oh yes, that is right. We picked a carpetbagger like Walz over Jeff Johnson in 2018. Then we picked a gaff artist like Biden over Donald Trump in 2020. I guess we now have the government(s) we deserve.   

Where have all the cops gone?

 

"THIS WILL CONTINUE, WITH NO END IN SIGHT! It will not end until we: 1) PAY our cops a livable salary, 2) RESPECT our cops for the job they do to protect and serve us, 3) EMPOWER our cops to do their jobs, and 4) RESPECT our cops."

Last week, there was an article about our missing bluebirds. Anyone in the Midwest who has bluebird houses, has noticed it this year. No birds. The reason? The unusually harsh winter down in Texas, where many bluebirds winter. Many have starved or froze to death. Thus - very few birds this year.

However - there is one thing which is disappearing faster than bluebirds. Our law enforcement officers. How bad is it? Let's look at New York City. In 2020, 5,300 cops left the force. Even with a police force as large as the NYPD, 5,300 officers departing, leaves a big dent. Here is the scary part. Thanks in good part to New York City's clueless and socialist Mayor, the number of officers leaving the NYPD is expected to be even higher in 2021. Seen New York City lately? The residents are being advised to stay out of Time Square after dark. And Central Park? Almost a slam dunk chance you will get mugged. Welcome to our post George Floyd world of "no cops needed". 

Portland Oregon is just as bad. Cops leaving in droves, and crime is now king. Your chances of being a victim of a violent crime in Portland is slightly less than 1 in 200. Your chances of being a victim of a property crime is slightly less than 1 in 20. Who in the world would want to live there? The once very livable city of Portland is now a lawless mess. With a clueless boob like Ted Wheeler as Mayor, he is as bad (if not worse), than de Blasio is in New York City. 

Okay - those are costal cities. Things are always worse out there. But Minneapolis should be just fine - right? WRONG! We also have a clueless mayor, and our police force has been shredded. Here is the kicker. According to a New York Daily News article in 2019 (Pre Floyd), the crime in Minneapolis was spiking due to not enough cops. That was nothing compared to today. Now, many will not venture into Minneapolis for any reason. Why? Nobody wants to get mugged or carjacked by Democrats. And cops? In 2021, they are as common as bluebirds this year. 

Where will this end? How will this end? Will it be the end? THIS WILL CONTINUE, WITH NO END IN SIGHT! It will not end until we: 1) PAY our cops a livable salary, 2) RESPECT our cops for the job they do to protect and serve us, 3) EMPOWER our cops to do their jobs, and 4) RESPECT our cops. That is all. 

"Buildings don't just fall"

"Will this collapse in Miami affect the value of other beachfront condos? The insurance rates? The desire to own one? These are all questions which will play out sooner rather than later."

Wow! This building collapse in Miami was a real shock. A horrific shock. One of the things which has always made my skin crawl after a major earthquake, was buildings which fell during the quake and "pancaked". People in the buildings, being crushed under hundreds of tons of metal, concrete, or whatever. What that type of force can do to the human body is beyond imagination. When the twin towers fells, some poor people were crushed into dust. They were never recovered.

Someone on the news who is familiar with beach construction in Florida, was asked his theory on what happened. He shrugged his shoulders and said he did not as yet have one. But he did say this - "Buildings don't just fall". In other words, a building built in 1981, had certain building codes. Codes not just for that moment, but going out for years. In other words, these buildings were built to last.

Someone on social media said we should not yet be speculating about the cause. I agree. We should instead, be praying that the S+R teams find people buried, yet alive. That seems to happen more often than not, after a major earthquake. Sometimes days later, survivor(s) are found and pulled from the rubble. Let's hope that happens here also.

Whatever the cause which is determined at some point in time, things will change in Miami. Maybe all over the country. All along Florida's coast line (where permissible), you can see high rise buildings going up, and going up fast. Where my wife and I winter down in Pensacola, the once empty beach front by Pensacola Beach, is full of high rise buildings. Same with Orange Beach just across the border in Alabama. Will this collapse in Miami affect the value of other beachfront condos? The insurance rates? The desire to own one? These are all questions which will play out sooner rather than later.

This building collapse will be in the news cycle for quite a while. A team of experts has arrived from Israel to help the S+R teams. Why Israel? Besides being an ally of ours, this building had quite of few Israeli citizens staying there. That issue by itself, has some people's "spider senses" tingling. Like I said, too early to speculate, but there are some very interesting facts about this building.

"Buildings don't just fall". Amen to that. I will stay tuned on the news cycle to see if there is anything worth reporting in the next week or so. Hopefully, it will be the news of miracles. People found alive. Hopefully and prayerfully...      

Giggles, whispers and dog whistles...

"Giggles, whispers and dog whistles. Welcome to the wacky world of now. Seems we can't communicate anymore by just talking to each other. Obama put an end to that by making us tribal."

Remember back in the good old days (pre-Biden), when you had to be so careful of what you said? If you said the right "trigger" word, mostly by accident, the left would accuse you of using a "dog whistle". "Dog whistle"? What the heck is a "dog whistle"? It was one of those code words which only (gasp!) White Supremists could understand. I would like to give you a few examples of these "dog whistle" words, but I don't know of any. In fact, I don't know of a one.

Today, under the Biden Administration, we have something new. Giggles and whispers. Huh? What? The art form of giggling like a school girl, has been perfected by our Vice President. She is so good at it, that she will giggle at just about anything - funny or not. In fact, she giggles more than someone who is stoned on pot. Like, what is funny to her? The border crisis for one. As serious as that crisis is, it is a hoot and a holler to her. For her own safety, we better keep her away from the building collapse in Miami. Giggling down there could be very risky.

And now whispers. We have a new form of communication by the President. Here is an example: When asked by a reporter how we can fill some of the millions of unfilled jobs, Slo Joe leaned into the mic and said "Hey small business owners. I know how to get people back to work." Then came the barely audible whisper - "Pay them more."

Of course Joe! Why didn't we think of that? If McDonalds paid $100/hour, I dare say 100% of their openings would be filled. I would even come out of retirement and go back to work. So what if the customers have to pay $25 for a gut bomb burger? The openings would be filled. Joe Biden is so smart on small businesses. Or big businesses. It must be all that experience he has had in running businesses. In fact, I am going out on a limb here. Joe Biden might even be as smart as Mazie Hirono.

Giggles, whispers and dog whistles. Welcome to the wacky world of now. Seems we can't communicate anymore by just talking to each other. Obama put an end to that by making us tribal.

Gone are the days of clear and precise speaking, as in the Gettysburg Address. Now we have mumbles, whispers, and gaffs. A Brave New World? It is here folks, we are living it. And I don't like it.  

The age of victimhood

"Victimhood. I really detest that word. It is harmful to so many. It is harmful to our country. This country means too much, to too many, to be harmed. Remember that Biden, as we shuffle you back to Delaware."   

Hello? Are you a victim? You should be. Right now, we have so many victims (per the Democrats) in this country, to not be a victim is "so yesterday". In fact, the number of victim classes has grown so fast, so deep, so wide, to be without victim status, puts you in a minority class. In fact, maybe even a victim class. You have been victimized by not being in a victim class. Sound goofy? You are right. Sound far fetched? Not under Slo Joe, and his merry group of socialists. Welcome to the Great Reset, circa 2021.

How bad has it gotten? This is panderfest on steroids. It seems like every piece of legislation which is being proposed in Washington these days, has mention of some poor, oppressed class of people. Even people who don't feel as if they have been oppressed. "Now sit down and shut up!", Biden seems to say. "If I say you are oppressed dam it, you are oppressed! Now take your taxpayer funded hand out!". Such is life in Biden's America.

Who then, are the oppressors? White Nationalists, silly! Everyone knows that! Or a term from the past - WASPS (White Anglo-Saxton Protestants). Now, there was a bunch of oppressors! Of course, I, as well as many (or most) of my friends, have never met a White Supremist. As far as I am concerned, this is just a Boogie Man term, that Biden loves to use. Biden, who worshipped at the alter of Senator Robert Byrd. I mean, who cares if Robert Byrd was a real White Supremist - a genuine KKK member. Biden still revered him.

Here is the deal folks (to use Slo Joe's favorite saying) - Just like Obama, Biden is trying to slice and dice up our people. He is trying to take e pluribus unum, and replace it with tribal, sub-tribal, and a sub, sub-tribal mentality. In other words, all the good things, all the good people, who have made this country great in the past - are now being canceled. America the great is being superseded with America the shameful. And Team Biden, is happy to share that revelation with the world. Even though it is absolutely false.

Listen up socialists. Listen up Biden minions. This is for you. America is now, and always has been, a great country. Made up of great people. Not victims, but patriots and citizens. Black people are not victims. White people are not victims. Brown people are not victims. Yellow people are not victims. Women are not victims. The alphabet people are not victims. The only people who are victims, are those who choose to be victims.

If you are active in politics right now - good. Stay that way. If you are a blue pill type of person, and just want to ignore what is going on, here is a news flash. This will not fix itself. We need all hands on deck for the 2022 election. Why? If we can't blunt Biden in 2022, 2024 might be too late. Already, we have tons of crap that Biden has created, which need to be fixed. 

Victimhood. I really detest that word. It is harmful to so many. It is harmful to our country. This country means too much, to too many, to be harmed. Remember that Biden, as we shuffle you back to Delaware.   

 

Are we between a rock and a hard place?

"As a nation we are finally coming out of this thing (hopefully). I hope and pray this is the one and only time, we have to take an experimental vaccine to fight of some 'super bug' coming out of China."

What the what is going on? Yesterday, the inventor (Dr. Robert Malone) of the mRNA vaccines (like most of what is being offered right now to fight Covid - 19), gave a dire warning. And it had to do with this unexplained myocarditis or pericarditis in some young people who have received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines. Mostly young men, mostly after the second shot. Not a huge number, but a number never-the-less.

This type of news puts many of us between a rock and a hard place. In a normal world, most would have NEVER taken an experimental vaccine. Even though mRNA was tested, and tested again, this vaccine has never received final approval by the FDA. Why? No time. Covid - 19 was hitting our population particularly hard. mRNA technology has been known about for over a decade now, and this was a perfect opportunity to use it on Operation Warp Speed. 

One of the doctors who regularly appears on Fox News, said we will not meet the President's goal of 70% immunized by July 4th - but we will be close. She also said that young people, who have recently had Covid, probably don't need to be vaccinated. I will go one step further. I have friends who have decided for one reason or another, not to get vaccinated. To me, it is a personal decision. I will not judge a person's decision on vaccine, one way or another.

Another doctor was on the news last week, and had an interesting perspective. He thinks the nation is already at "herd immunity". Even though not everyone is immunized, many folks have antibodies from having Covid, and others just have a natural immunity. Plus, many are taking supplements such as zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin D3 for extra protection.

Here is the kicker. This new Delta variant, which came out of India, has many of our health professionals very worried. It is more transmissible, and if caught, more severe. The docs are now looking at our entire population as a weighted gamble. One big testing ground.

Yes, there have been some problems. Even deaths. But the vast majority of those who received the vaccine did not have any problems - hopefully never will. But in states like Missouri, less than 40% are immunized (one county, less than 13%). The Delta variant is hitting that state hard, filling up the ICU beds.

As a nation we are finally coming out of this thing (hopefully). I hope and pray this is the one and only time, we have to take an experimental vaccine to fight of some "super bug" coming out of China.

I just want to get to the place again, when someone in a crowd sneezes, it does not have the same effect as a bomb going off. That is when I think we return to "normal". 

 

Up, up and away!

 

"The worst President in US history, is now about to make bad things even worse. Jimmy Carter - you are now off the hook. After Clinton, Obama and Biden, you are looking pretty good for a change."   

A while back, there was a not so memorable movie called "Up". It was so non-memorable, I can't even tell you what it was about. In any event, I will use the title "Up" in this article. Why up? Simply this. Under the Biden Administration, every bad metric known to mankind is going up. Like what? Stay tuned.

Crime - Again, this morning, there were stories on the news about rampant crime waves in different cities. It is so bad, most of the socialist mayors in those cities are flummoxed. Clueless. I mean, many socialist mayors have underfunded or defunded their police departments. Shouldn't that have solved the crime problem? I guess not.

Don't worry. Today it will be Slo Joe to the rescue. He will be addressing the nation to declare his new plan to flight crime will take care of this issue. He is once again, going to try and curtail gun rights for law abiding citizens. Or, come up with new laws to make gun ownership all but impossible. All but impossible that is, except for the outlaws. Hey Joe! "Outlaw" means you live outside the law. If you live outside the law, you don't give a rip about new laws, much less existing laws. Duh!

In any event, the increase in crime is so widespread right now, gun crimes are only a part of it. Rapes, carjacking, B+E crimes - they are all up. What do we need Joe? Empowered cops to do "broken window" policing. 

Immigration - How bad is it? Clueless Joe from Scranton, has now decided that all the illegal immigrants Trump sent back to Mexico last year, can come back. Joe continues to flood the zone with potential, new, blue voters. It is now a deathtrap in the desert southwest to be lost in the desert, once getting cut loose by the coyotes. One deputy sheriff in Arizona does nothing but look for dead bodies in the desert. And he finds them. 

The good news on the front, is the people in this country are starting to fight back. After Texas declared a state of emergency, Florida was quick to respond by sending law enforcement asserts to Texas. Now Nebraska is also going to chip in. My guess? Nebraska will not be the last.

The numbers are so high right now on the southern border, they are beyond staggering. The amount of drugs being caught at the border, are unprecedented. The fear of the DEA and Border Patrol, is what is being caught is way less than half of what is coming across. Fentanyl from China via Mexico, just to kill our young folks. 

I could go further on the "up and ups", but I won't. This article is already too long. More to come however. Slo Joe never ceases to disappoint a hungry blogger.

The worst President in US history, is now about to make bad things even worse. Jimmy Carter - you are now off the hook. After Clinton, Obama and Biden, you are looking pretty good for a change.   

Is the pendulum starting to swing?

"Every now and again, the American public decides to let the kids run things for a while. It never works out well."

Shhh. Don't say anything to anyone. But I think I am detecting a sea change in America. Not a little sea change, maybe even a tsunami. In other words, the pendulum might be swinging back our way.

Things are not working out well for the new team in Washington. Not working out well for the squad. Not working out well for the socialist and anarchists who are burning our cities. And really not working out well for the "defund the police" crowd. 

I turn on the national news most every morning. It seems like at least once a week, there is a story about a cop being murdered or assaulted. Seems like every day, there are stories of carnage in more than one of our big, blue cities. In short, violence in our country is out of control. Totally. Not having enough EMPOWERED cops is a big reason. However, most of the socialists who sit on city councils, or the mayors and governors of those cities and states - are blind to what is happening. But the people are not. 

Cancel culture, BLM, and CRT are all starting to be soft peddled. Why? These things represent things which are NOT endemic in our culture. The are products of the fringe left, and a very corrupt national media. Normal folks, are fed up with all this horse pucky. And the puppet masters on the left are starting to get the drift. These items, as well as the carnage taking place in many of our cities, are going to be like millstones around their necks come next election. As they should be.

One school board out east, recently passed a resolution to get rid of all holiday names. Instead of Christmas for example, that holiday will be called "day off number so and so". The parents got wind of this, and came to the next board meeting in great numbers. They wanted all board members to resign immediately. Their force was so strong, their voices so loud, the board reversed their ruling on getting rid of holiday names - by an almost unanimous vote.

Every now and again, the American public decides to let the kids run things for a while. It never works out well. Clinton had his Monica event. Obama had his race war issues. Biden is controlled by the socialist and the squad. Every time the kids muck things up, the American public can't wait to get the adults back in charge. That is what I see happening in 2022 followed by 2024.

Hang tight folks. Change is in the air. Help is coming. It is time to fix America's rudder, and get back on course. Stay alert, stay involved, and stay hopeful. Soon, the adults will be back in the room. 

  

Confused about our southern border?

"This is an invasion folks. It is as simple as that. Brought to you live, and in color, by the gang who can't shoot straight."  

This is a head scratcher for sure. Why is there all this fuss over the southern border? Our border with Mexico is closed, right? It was to re-open today, June 21st. Then the Delta variant to Covid - 19 hit. This variant is so severe, so strong, so contagious, it was decided by Homeland Security to keep our southern (and northern) borders closed until July 21st of this year. 

Wait just a minute Bird! That can't be right! Did we not have 8 times as many illegals caught this past May, than were caught in May 2020? Yes, that is true. And that puts the number of illegals caught over 180,000, just for the month of May 2021. True again. Plus, the number caught does not include the number of "get aways". That number could be huge. Once again, true.

So, what are we doing with folks we are catching who have this dreaded Delta variant? Turning them back? Locking them up in isolation? Or just turning them loose in our general population. Who then exactly, are we closing the borders to? And what good is it, if we are letting tens of thousands of potentially infected people cross? Is this fair to legal Americans? Does this make any sense, what-so-ever?

Of course not. This self inflicted wound of the Biden Administration has never been about border security. It has only been about flooding the zone with new, blue voters. If the Democrats can look like Santa Clause to the new comers, and have normal (red) citizens look like Scrooge, game over. The illegals will vote blue until the cows come home. Any other story which may come out of the mouths of Biden, Harris, or the bald headed Cuban, are just that - stories.

Happy Monday everyone. Happy Summer Solstice, also. The southern border remains a real problem for America. As the governor of Arizona recently said, "The unfettered illegal immigration is affecting the border states right now. Soon it will affect every city in America." 

This is an invasion folks. It is as simple as that. Brought to you live, and in color, by the gang who can't shoot straight.  

Why Dads?

"Why dads? Because they are more valuable than gold. Least wise, they should be. The footprints dad need to fill are huge. These are different than the footprints a mother needs to fill. Not more important, not less important - just equally important." 

It has been said by some, the biggest disservice the Great Society did to our society, was to gut the family unit. In particular, it took many fathers out of the equation of home life. Fathers - dads, were replaced by "sperm donors". Woman would find a guy, hook up, get pregnant, and all of a sudden, we had a single family household (or, non-traditional, as some have called it). A single family household with often times an ill-equipped mother, trying to raise a child or children, with not enough money, and no father guidance. Sound harsh? I don't mean it to be. However, that is reality in many of our larger cities today.

I might have told this story before. When I was a young lad, my dad and I were involved in a YMCA program called Indian Guides. It is where a bunch of neighborhood dads and lads got together to do "fun stuff". More important than just doing activities, Indian Guides had a life long motto for a father and his son. "Pals forever". The dad and the lad both had Indian names, and the bonding which happened in that program was way beyond important. It was critical.

Dads supply so much to the family unit, it is hard to encapsulate all of it in a single article. And it is not just financial support. For example, a single family household is five times more likely to live in poverty than a dual parent household. In other words, in 2015 (a bit dated information), 43% of all single parent kids lived in poverty, whereas only 10% of dual income parents lived in poverty. Money is not everything in a family, but living in poverty really gives a kid two strikes against him or her while growing up.

But here is the heart of the matter. Dads give their kids (or they should), a huge role model. A model much different than a nurturing mother gives. Plus, the role model they present to their sons, should help the young boy grow up to have similar virtues. 

When I was growing up, we had an "Ozzie and Harriet" or "Father Knows Best" type of nuclear family. Our family life was far from perfect - we had its ups and downs. But - both my parents were always there for moral support as well as providing for the family with financial support. 

As important as my dad was when I was growing up, he became equally as important when I reached manhood. He went from just being my dad, to being my mentor, my friend. I could not have imagined what life would have been like, not to have my dad to lean on. To talk to. To confide in. He was my rock. When times my knees might have become wobbly over a life circumstance dad was always there to talk to. He was my cheerleader, every time I took a new job. He was there when I decided to enter the Navy. And speaking of the Navy, he was there when I left for boot camp, and there when I retired from the Navy.

Why dads? Because they are more valuable than gold. Least wise, they should be. The footprints dad need to fill are huge. These are different than the footprints a mother needs to fill. Not more important, not less important - just equally important.

Dads also have an important role to fill for their daughters. Trust me, I have two of them. The mentoring is different than with a son, but equally important. Even though I have no sons to mentor, I have son-in-laws, and a grandson.  

My dad has been gone now for almost 20 years. I remember him like he was here yesterday. My dad was a good man, although not a perfect man. He was my rock star. He was my friend. He was my "pal forever". Happy Father's Day dad - and thanks. Thanks for always being there for me.   

A One Eyed King?

"A clear and present danger. Treason. Dereliction of duty. The crimes this accidental administration is accumulating is alarming. We deserve better. Our country deserves better. Our grandchildren deserve better. Get rid of these clowns." 

"In the land of the blind, a one eyed man can be king". Ain't that the truth! Of the 80 million who (supposedly) voted for Biden, they got a whole slew of "one eyed wonders".

For example - Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden's very loyal Secretary of Homeland Security, was on the Hill again yesterday. Getting grilled by Republicans, lauded by Democrats. Can I just get this out first - before I go any further? This man is not only bald, but he is a bald faced liar. I mean, the Democrats have had some interesting folks working in DHS, but none like this guy. Why do I say that? As the head of DHS, his number one job is keeping the homeland safe. By being complacent in opening our southern border to anything and everything under the sun, he is doing just the opposite. 

This guy could not be elected dog catcher in most parts of the country. How then, could he possibly be the Secretary of Homeland Security? And be so bad at it? When asked why the Veep has not yet been to the southern border, Mayorkas bristled. "I am the Secretary of Homeland, and I have been there many times." That was a rare moment of truthfulness from this man. He has been to the border more than once. But then he has testified under oath before, the border was "closed". That is a lie. 

He then defended the Veep. "She is the former AG of a border state, so she knows about borders." Yes - and so? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? By the way, speaking of China, Lara Logan has a show on Fox Nation about the amount of drugs being caught coming over the southern border. Fentanyl, Meth, Heroin. And that is only what they have caught. Logan reported that much of the fentanyl is coming directly from counterfeit labs in China, shipped to Mexico, to be smuggled over the border. How bad is it? In San Diego, three people A DAY are dying  from drug overdosing.

Even though Biden's popularity remains high with the minions who support him, he is in a tough spot on immigration. He has been cajoled and manipulated by his far left handlers, into making the biggest national blunder a President could make. He has left our "back door" unlocked at night - left it open to all kinds of evil. Whenever he is asked about it, he mumbles something about Barack supporting it, this is kindness, and most importantly - "this is who we are". No Biden - you are wrong. We are kind, but we are not patsies. Unlocking out southern border to everything wicked which this way comes, is a horribly stupid idea. Maybe even treasonous.

All this to increase the blue voters for 2022 and beyond. Shameful. Totally shameful. Meanwhile, more innocent Americans are dying. Dying from either being killed by bad apples which sneak over the border, or to counterfeit drugs made by China and smuggled in through Mexico. 

We need to shut out southern border. Now. Not control entry - shut it down totally. Just like after 9/11. Having an open border is a clear and present danger to this great country. If Biden does not do it, we need to impeach him. This is far worse than anything Trump did, and our worthless Pelosi Congress impeached Trump twice. For nothing. 

A clear and present danger. Treason. Dereliction of duty. The crimes this accidental administration is accumulating is alarming. We deserve better. Our country deserves better. Our grandchildren deserve better. Get rid of these clowns. 

  

 

With government, "stuff don't work right"!

"Get the picture? Because of the climate hoax, mixed in with a growing social entropy, we are soon going to be stuck. We will have traded a perfectly good transportation system, for a relic." 

I have not addressed this issue for a while. Covid - 19, and the resulting "shut down", took this issue right off the front page. I was going to call this issue the SWLRT mess, but it is bigger than that. It is about how we get around. And where we get around. And why we get around. In short, Thrive 2040, has been knocked off the trolley by the cold, hard, fist of reality.

On the news this morning, was yet another story about the boondoggle of the century, better know as the Southwest Light Rail Train (SWLRT). Another $21M needs to be spent, as the top notch engineers the state hired to manage this mess, missed how much contaminated soil needed to be removed. "Money, money everywhere", remains the mantra of the morons on the Met Council. And besides more money, the start date for services of the SWLRT has now been moved from sometime in 2023, to "who knows".

Here is the bottom line. Since the ink was drying on the initial project order for SWLRT, much has changed. Between the George Floyd riots and the pandemic, Minneapolis has gone from a bustling midwestern city, to a ghost town. Translation = nobody wants to work, visit, nor live there anymore. It is the wild, wild west, existing on a toxic waste dump. Or as some like to put it, "Minneapolis has turned into a hot mess, inside a dumpster fire, inside of a train wreck."

Now we have other LRT lines, as well as the North Star, which are either shuttered, or running at a fraction of their capacities. Each line in bleeding dollars. Plus, with the advent of autonomous cars, busses, and trucks, more and more mobility folks are going to opt for the flexibility of renting an autonomous ride, over the more static and inflexible train schedules. 

We will also see an uptick of EVs (both autonomous or self driving) in the near future. EVs, which have very few charging stations. Charging stations which rely on electricity. Electricity which relies on a strong grid, as well as a constant source of generation. With the government continuing to shut down coal plants, and with windmills not being ready yet for prime time, that makes driving or riding in an EV for a long period of time - risky. 

Get the picture? Because of the climate hoax, mixed in with a growing social entropy, we are soon going to be stuck. We will have traded a perfectly good transportation system, for a relic. A very expensive relic at that. My guess is this - if and when the SWLRT gets up and running, I will be surprised if it maxes out a 25% capacity . The more logical scenario, is the SWLRT  will go the way of the North Star - or the Dodo Bird.

What can the government do right these days? Usually, not much. But under this Administration, the "not much" is quickly changing to "nada". But who cares? We will just print more money, so on weekends, we can take the family to Eden Prairie to view SWLRT, better known as the train to nowhere. Should be quite a tourist attraction in a couple of years. 
 

Where is ground zero? Texas and Arizona

"Governor Abbot is not someone to take lightly. For him to declare a state of emergency due mostly to the remiss of our accidental President, is unprecedented. Greg Abbot is the first of many to speak loudly and clearly, saying - WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!"

Here is a witch's brew. Mix the effects of the pandemic, a recovering economy, near record heat, a prolonged drought, and for good measure, throw in Biden's open border policy. What do you have? A world class mess. A mess so bad, the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, has recently declared a state of emergency in Texas. The Governor of Arizona, Doug Ducey, might be close behind in doing the same. Why a state of emergency? It will give the governors more power in dealing with this invasion across their southern borders. In the absence of the feds doing their Constitutional duty, the states need to stand in the gap.

I have had this thought more than once. If I could go back in time, maybe 25 years, and find the most staunch Democrat around, I wonder the reaction I would get if I told him or her this story from the future - "In 2021, we will elect a Democrat, so radical, he will mandate the southern border be wide open, letting over 1,000,000 illegals enter our country in 2021 alone." I dare say that Democrat would look at me like I had been smoking wacky tobacco. 

Here is the bottom line folks (to paraphrase our accidental President) - 25 years ago there would not have been a beating heart, red, blue, or purple, who could possibly image what is going on in our country today. Not just the carnage on the border, but the carnage in many of our big, blue cities. Unbridled murder of men, women and children.

But somehow, on the way from 1996 to the present, this nation has lost its way. What is happening on our southern border, with the illegals, the drugs, the gangs, the trafficking - is unfathomable. The Democrat Party, now turned into the socialist party, has all but ruined our national fabric. Their ranks are inundated with enemies of the state. Do you want to talk about the January 6th insurrection? I can talk about the insurrection going on each day, every day, in the new socialist party of Minnesota, as well as points east, west, north, and south.

Governor Abbott is not someone to take lightly. For him to declare a state of emergency due mostly to the remiss of our accidental President, is unprecedented. Greg Abbot is the first of many to speak loudly and clearly, saying - WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH! If Biden wants to ruin a country, have him go back to Venezuela. This country is too precious to too many to have Mr. Sippy Cup screw it up.

It is hot. It is dry. It is summer in the desert southwest. People will die in the desert. Some already have. Does anybody care? Not the socialists. They only want people with beating hearts which can go to the voting booth and pull the lever - over, and over, and over again - for socialists. That is the bottom line. That is why Governor's Abbott and Ducey need to stop this insurrection.   

 

Biden's Bravado

"Love him or hate him, you have to admit one thing about Putin. He is a leader. He is a strong leader. He is a man Trump wanted to deal with, not fight with. Trump saw opportunities in dealing with Putin. Opportunities without capitulation."

This is it. The week. The "showdown at the OK Corral". It is when our accidental President, Joe "I am going to take you out behind the gymnasium, and kick your ass" Biden, is going to "school" Vladimir Putin. So predicts CNN and MSNBC (as well as much as the print media). Joe is going to don his aviator glasses, and put on his Maverick persona. You know - Maverick from Top Gun.

How is this going to play out? First off, some context. Slo Joe will be the 5th US President that Biden has dealt with. Plus, once Pelosi and crew does an Amendment 25 on Biden, Harris will be the 6th President that Biden will deal with. But I am getting ahead of myself. Right now, Biden is in the batter's box. He will be the one to come face to face with this former KGB officer.

I almost feel sorry for Biden. Many, including myself, think that Putin will not have any respect for his elders. He will eat Biden's lunch. Even though the American MSM thinks Biden will "school" Putin, the opposite is much more likely to happen. Why? Putin studies America. Has since his KGB days. He knows what the pulse of America was under Trump - and he knows what the pulse is now. He knows more about the real America right now, than our foggy headed President does. He knows where all our warts and bruises are. If Biden tries to scold Putin on any aspect of Russia, it's expansionisms, or cyber mischief, Putin will fire back with all guns blazing.

Putin recently had a presser with a home town media source. He was asked about Trump and Biden. He really liked and respected Trump. He liked the fact Trump came out of nowhere (politically), and had guts. Russians have always respected power - and loathe weakness. Biden on the other hand (again according to Putin), is nothing more than a life long politician. And that is about all he could say about Biden. Reading between the lines? Putin thinks Biden is an empty suit - no more, no less.

The only smart thing Biden's handlers insisted on, was not having a joint presser once his meeting with Putin was over. Why? So Biden could "spin" what happened in the meeting. If Putin were there, he would correct Slo Joe, or worse, make Biden look confused. No, having a joint presser with one man in the early stages of dementia, and the other an experienced KGB officer, would have been a non-starter for the Biden legacy. 

Love him or hate him, you have to admit one thing about Putin. He is a leader. He is a strong leader. He is a man Trump wanted to deal with, not fight with. Trump saw opportunities in dealing with Putin. Opportunities without capitulation.

What does Biden see in Putin? A bully. A villain. Maybe even an ogre. That type of thinking is going to put us right back into a very cold war with Russia. Welcome to Obama, part 3. 

  

Is Minneapolis Dying?

"As an American, I am ashamed of our big, blue cities these days. Who in the world would want to come visit here? Minneapolis has gone from a city of life and zest, to a hell hole. It has gone from a city where everything and everyone works, to a dysfunctional dystopia."

I have told this story before. As a young lad, I often times would ride the bus downtown with my Mother, when she would do some shopping. It was a thrill for me to do so - not that I loved to shop, but Mom always managed to buy a little something special. Plus, from time to time, she would take me to lunch at the Sky Room, which was on one of the top floors at Dayton's.

As time passed, I went from a little kid to Jr. High School. My Mother got a part time job working at Dayton's business office. In the summer time, I would often take the bus downtown, visit Mom, and then hang around. All totally safe. 

As most clear thinking folks know, the Minneapolis of yesteryear, looks NOTHING like the Minneapolis of today. In fact, parts of Minneapolis look more like war torn Beirut, than the city I grew up next to. In just a few short decades, it has gone from a model city most could be proud of, to something that resembles a "no man's land". It is currently a place of anarchy, lawlessness, and paganism. It is run by socialists who do not know a dit from a DUH, and there is no hope on the horizon.

Yesterday, there was yet again another protest in the Uptown area. It was about a police involved shooting of a black man in an uptown parking ramp. The specifics of the shooting are sketchy, as it involved law enforcement who were not wearing body cameras. To make a long story short, somebody, for some reason, drove his car into a group of protesters. Two were injured, and one person died. These days, incidents like this, are just a day in the life. Tragic - yes, rare - not so much.

As crime continues to spike, and more and more innocents are forced to move out of the city, the City Council is still dedicated to defunding, and blunting the effectiveness of the MPD. Social Justice Warriors have allowed crime to rule the day in certain parts of the city. Streets which were at one time safe for families to walk down, are now hunting grounds for predators. Driving around town in a nice car, is inviting carjackers to look upon you as a target. Where people at one time were proud to say they were from Minneapolis, now many are happy they live FAR from Minneapolis. 

I never thought I would see the day that Minneapolis would become "hollowed out", like Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis or Detroit. Minneapolis was too classy for that. The people who lived in Minneapolis, were too smart for that. Well, things changed. Socialism replaced good and sound governance. Love of self, replaced love of God. Even minor disputes went from talking it out, to shooting it out. 

As an American, I am ashamed of our big, blue cities these days. Who in the world would want to come visit here? Minneapolis has gone from a city of life and zest, to a hell hole. It has gone from a city where everything and everyone works, to a dysfunctional dystopia. It is a place where most people from outstate and Greater Minnesota, gladly stay away from. 

Is there any hope for this once great city? Not so long as the voting electorate remains monolithic. This is now a one party town, with that party sliding further to the left every election. It is like having a slice of Venezuela tucked into the middle of our state. No, Minneapolis is dying. A slow, and painful death. Some are grieving its loss - yet others simply shrug and say, "kick some dirt over it, before it starts to stink."  

The CCP - pandemic and climate villains extraordinaire!

"Does China care? Not a wit. Does China feel bad about the pandemic they caused? Maybe - or maybe they are only sorry they got caught before their 'big event'. What is the 'big event'? We need to get into Wuhan to find out. And quickly."   

This week, there is a G7 meeting in the UK. One of the things discussed will be Joe Biden's pet rock - climate change. By the way, in case anyone is not paying attention, the US and the EU have much improving carbon emission numbers. Like, anywhere from 7 to 17 percent better in 2020 than in 2019. What gives? Mostly improved due to the pandemic. But, wait. How can our numbers be better, and China's numbers are predicted to be catastrophic by 2030? No simple explanation, but some very important markers are evident.

According to a report on NBC News last month, the pandemic did have a minor bright side. It made our air noticeably cleaner. When the world shut down (so to speak), we did not emit as many pollutants into the air. Except for China (who somehow escaped the brunt of the pandemic which they caused), most of the world traveled less, and produced less. But here is the kicker. We learned much from the year in which we were locked down. Like, how to work remotely, where a job would allow it. That meant less travel to and from the office. Less travel, means less pollution, and less wasted time sitting in traffic.

China pollutes more than the US and EU combined. Plus - with their Belt and Road Initiative, they expect to hit peak emissions by 2030. What? Wait - I thought the Paris Accord, which Biden loves, has the world reducing emissions, before we fry to death. Well, sort of. China was given a pass, so they could continue on this massive expansion. But now, the World Economic Forum thinks that was a huge mistake. They want China to hit their peak by 2025 instead. In other words, for the next four years, while Biden tries to put us back in the stone age, China has an open pass to go great guns (literally and figuratively).

By the way, the World Economic Forum also said, if China goes until 2030 to hit its peak, our increase in global temperature could be .5 degrees (C) higher. According to the Forum, that would portend bad things for the rest of the world. More droughts and more dead coral. But who cares? We can suffer, so long as China gets theirs. 

Not to change subjects, but this is important to bring up. Besides China being a global climate wrecker, their pandemic numbers were beyond stunning. Like, for a country of 1.44 billion people, they somehow only had (a reported) death toll of less than 5,000. The US on the other hand, with a population of 331 million people, lost almost 600,000 to the pandemic. Since the pandemic originated in China, how did they get away with just a brush while the rest of us had a kick in the solar plexus? That means, besides wrecking the climate, China is also responsible for millions of dead and suffering worldwide. That is, except for themselves. What say you, Joe Biden? Or are you just too owned by China to say anything?

In this country, everything is getting cleaner every year. To help ourselves continue to get cleaner air, as well as to give employees a benefit, keep the practice of remote office working where practicable. But remember, while we are getting cleaner, while China raises the global temperature.

Does China care? Not a wit. Does China feel bad about the pandemic they caused? Maybe - or maybe they are only sorry they got caught before their "big event". What is the "big event"? We need to get into Wuhan to find out. And quickly.   

 

"Break stuff and **** people"

In fact, this clueless President is so convinced this new boogey man exists in our services, he ordered the new SecDef to do a force wide 'stand down' to ensure any white privilege or white fragility is purged.

There is an old saying about Marines. In boot camp and thereafter, they are trained to be at the ready to go into battle. In short, if need be, there were there to "break stuff and k*** people". Now I have worked for, worked with, and had Marines working for me in my Navy career. Marines are not knuckle dragging Neanderthals. They are some of the finest men and women I served with. That being said, Marines, if need be, can be ferocious warriors.

Our accidental President met with some of our brave troops  the other day after arriving in the UK. His pep talk to the troops was to once again describe the greatest villain they could face. The Chinese? The Russians? North Koreans? Martians? No? Then who? The climate. We are training our troops to be prepared to fight the climate. Or should I say, climate change. Please folks - don't roll your eyes and snicker. He really did say that.

Just so you don't think Biden is myopic, there is yet one more villain he wants vanquished from and by the Armed Forces. White supremacy. Wait - what? Where did that come from??? It seems January 6th gave Biden new freedom to go after this new boogey man of his. If there are tons of white supremacists in the services, does that also mean there are a bunch of racists there also? It there are, I never saw them. Nor the white supremacists. Not in my 21 years of service.

In fact, this clueless President is so convinced this new boogey man exists in our services, he ordered the new SecDef to do a force wide "stand down" to ensure any white privilege or white fragility is purged. You know - make pajama boys and girls out of our fighting men and women. If this new SecDef, a retired general, had a pair, he would have thrown his badge down on Biden's desk and resigned. "No sir! You are wrong!" he should have said. But he did not. He just went along with the flow. 

Joe Biden is so bad for this country for so many reasons. However, what he is trying to do to our military is way, way beyond the pale. I am so ashamed of this POTUS. And I grieve for our forces, that they have to serve under this man. Shame, shame, shame on you Biden.    

   

And now - 1,000,000 more illegals under Biden

"In the not too distant past, for a President to intentionally put the country at risk, would have been met with a quick impeachment and a quick dismissal via Senate trial. No longer. Biden, who is wrecking the country in broad daylight, in view of just about everyone, has an approval rating in the 60 percent range."

The good news and the bad news. Okay - there is no good news. Now the bad news. Under Biden, we are on track to get 1,000,000 more illegals coming up through the southern border this year. In May, Border Patrol apprehended over 180,000 people. In just one month. Plus - that is the number which were apprehended. It does not count the number of "get aways". How big of a number is 1,000,000? The size of Columbus, Ohio. Biden and the socialists have a plan, and it seems to be working perfectly. The plan is to flood the zone with illegals. Congrats, America wreckers. You plan is coming together.

Between the cost of the trip, and the cost of the aid promised, we taxpayers payed billions to send Commie Harris to Guatemala and Mexico. Why? To search out the "root cause" of illegal immigration. Hey Commie, do you want to know the answer? It does not lie in the Triangle Countries, nor Mexico. It lies on the southern border. The cause lies with you and your boss (not to mention your puppet masters).

The American people, the real people, are reaching their tipping point with Harris and Biden. If the plan is to once again tilt this next election by using slight of hand (this time will illegals), I shudder to think what the outcome will be. If ballot harvesting and illegal voting lead to another unearned socialist victory in 2022, the ramifications could be dire. It is imperative that for the sake of the Union, we get our voting squared away, and squared away now. November of 2022 is not that far away.

Here are more more problems with the 1,000,000 illegals expected to broach our southern border this year. Drugs. Gangs. Trafficking. Tucker Carlson went to Honduras to interview MS-13 gang members in prison down there. One gang member, who agreed to talk to Tucker, admitted to being in the United States (illegally). When asked how he got here, he nonchalantly said he rode on a train going north. Easy, peasy. 

In the not too distant past, for a President to intentionally put the country at risk, would have been met with a quick impeachment and a quick dismissal via Senate trial. No longer. Biden, who is wrecking the country in broad daylight, in view of just about everyone, has an approval rating in the 60 percent range. This speaks volumes about the electorate more so than what it says about the Democrats. That this many people can be cowed by these phonies, is a head scratcher for sure. 

I was going to write about the military today. About how the new enemies today are (per Biden), global warming and white nationalism. But I could not do it. It would have been too painful to write about. Maybe tomorrow.   

 

A cookie? Or just the crumbs?

"Here is something of humor and irony which was noticed by the press. Protesters. Protesters with signs. Some saying 'Trump Won!'. Wait a minute! I thought these countries (like Guatemala) were all staunchly Democrat. Maybe not so much." 

This will come under the category of "you just can't make this stuff up!" Our Vice President, who is far away from being ready for prime time, went on her first overseas trip. And for some reason, which is clear to nobody with a brain, she brought some "cookies" with her. Cookies which had her face (sans features) on them. What? Why? What the what? As weird as this was, it was probably the most normal thing which happened on her BIG overseas adventure.

She first went to Guatemala. Met with the President of Guatemala. She told the President she was there to find the "root causes" on why so many people from Guatemala make that dangerous trek up to the southern border. Oh, don't worry - the President of Guatemala knows the reason. It is spelled B-I-D-E-N. The President of Guatemala calls Biden the immigration President. He knows that Biden is the one who sounded the clarion call for people from the Triangle Countries, as well as Mexico, to come to America. ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!!!!

As Harris stumbled around before a live microphone, she said absolutely nothing of substance. She gave the President of Guatemala some cookies, and a few billion dollars, then left. Wait - what was the money for? Is not Guatemala a very corrupt country? What were the conditions? As far as we know, only one. Any Guatemalan citizen who makes it to America, must vote Democrat for the rest of his or her life.

Here is something of humor and irony which was noticed by the press. Protesters. Protesters with signs. Some saying "Trump Won!". Wait a minute! I thought these countries (like Guatemala) were all staunchly Democrat. Maybe not so much. 

The next day was Mexico. Equally disappointing. More cookies, more money. But what about the southern border? Is that not where the action is? If she is looking for the "root causes" for out of control immigration, this is where it is. Oh - and also the White House. That is where it all started. 

People used to think that Dan Quale was a huge "nothing burger" as Veep. Quale was 1,000 times better than this clueless California statist. The best thing that Biden can do with her, is take her visa and passport away. Keep her in the same basement that Biden hid in during the campaign. 

That is all I have today. I am going to munch on a faceless Harris cookie and relax for a while. Watching the news this morning, took way too much out of me. 

A most tangled web of deceit...

"Okay China. That is the accusation by many right now. Prove us wrong. Open up your labs. And what if they don't? Ask Mr. Biden what his next move will be. And that next move better not be nappy time. This is as real as real gets Biden. Now put your big boy pants on, and deal with this issue."

By the time all the truth is known, if it ever is known, it will be interesting to see just how many people, and or organizations, and or governments are involved in this entire virus caper. The feeling I have right now, as well as many, many others is simply this - the truth has taken a back seat in trying to understand this entire Wuhan flu debacle. There are many dirty hands in this, and yes, some might even be American.

I don't want to go over the same ground I plowed yesterday. We all know that China is dirty - very dirty on this. But China may have been too cute by half in trying to cover their dastardly deed. This morning on the news, Dr. Muller was interviewed. Dr. Muller was one of the two scientists who wrote that article in the WSJ on June 6th. The one which said from a forensic standpoint, this virus could not have evolved naturally. Period. End of story. It was manufactured by a gain of function method of gene splicing.

So, here is the $64,000 question. Now that we know China (the CCP of China) was dirty on causing this world wide massacre, what are we going to do about it? Does Mr. "Sippy Cup", "Put a cap on it", have the guts to grab Xi (figuratively) by the short hairs? I mean, China has just about the entire world cowed for some reason or other. Don't think so? Let's look at the UK.

Right now, the UK has the international legal authority go back into Hong Kong and once again claim it as theirs. They could, and they should, abrogate the Sino-British Joint Declaration Treaty. Why? It is worth less than toilet paper. The CCP could not wait to violate this treaty. It was signed in 1997, and by 2014, MPs in Parliament already were saying China was in full breach of this treaty. Hong Kong was supposed to have been autonomous until 2047 (50 years after signing). How is that working out for Hong Kong? Poorly, very poorly.

What is Great Britain going to do about China? For what they are doing to Hong Kong? Nada. Zip. Zero. Why? The Brits are cowed by China. Scared silly. What is the UN going to do about China, when the forensic evidence is absolute and immutable on the Wuhan lab involvement in making this virus? Again, crickets. 

Here is the biggest fear of many who study China and how they behave. Covid-19 might have only been a dry run. A dry run which got out of the lab by accident. Here is where the speculation comes in. Speculation which might have many grains of truth imbedded in it. The CCP wants to make a super killer. A lethal virus. One which can be made only by the most sophisticated gain of function gene splicing. Call it a "pass over" virus. It will pass over any and all who have Chinese DNA. For the rest of us, this virus could be a death sentence.

Okay China. That is the accusation by many right now. Prove us wrong. Open up your labs. And what if they don't? Ask Mr. Biden what his next move will be. And that next move better not be nappy time. This is as real as real gets Biden. Now put your big boy pants on, and deal with this issue.
