A Call to Action

WOW! Did you ever see anything get mobilized so quickly?

One day there is a leak. The next day the demonstrations start. It was as if they were in the wings waiting to jump out at a moment`s notice with all signs prepared for action.

It sort of makes one wonder if they had it all planned in advance.

Regardless, it is a shame they can’t do a few other things with such outright effectiveness. If they could, if they would, the border would be sealed up tight, the freighter ships would have never had to wait off shore and we would not still have Americans stranded in Afghanistan.

One improvement I would just love is to get the welfare checks into the hands of the folks who actually are in need of them. We don’t need to support those healthy and able.

As an aside, they don’t seem to be doing well at going green either. Instead of using the cleaner oil right under us, they insist on shipping dirty oil in. Did anyone tell those guys it takes a bunch of energy to have that stuff imported from the other side of the planet?

Then again, we must remember, going green is not truly their goal, but power… control… world domination. Going green is just their means to their ultimate goal.

A Show of Hands, Please

Uncle Joe is going around the country and provide support for local contests. I know I’ll never get it but I’d like to see a show of hands or those seeking ole Joe’s support. I suspect I only need my fingers to count them. I would have no need to remove my shoes. Come to think of it, I might be able to put one hand in a pocket.

As an aside, just how many would Joe be able to assist before he would have to return to Maryland for a rest. Perhaps more accurately, before he is sent back.

DID YOU SEE WHAT THE FIRST LADY WAS WEARING?

Apparently, a general did. While Joe & Jill walked across one of the White House lawns, she was wearing what appeared to be some kind of form fitting leather or leatherette pants. A general off to their left was looking in the direction of the pants with a big smile, maybe even a laugh.

It was one of those few times I wish the video was accompanied with the audio. So, now all we have is the implication of a laugh. I can’t imagine anyone providing a true witness account.

Is History Repeating?

There are rumors to this day that President Wilson was unable to perform his duties in the final days of his presidency and his wife filled in for him. I don’t know, but it does sound plausible.

Some might even suggest old Joe isn’t up to the job and some puppeteer is operating Joe’s strings. Might it be his wife. Might it be Obama.

I don’t know, but I sure would like to see what he looks like away from his wife and staff for a while. Joe won’t be president for a few week but a few years. Moreover, very important decisions are being made. It would be nice to know who is making those decisions: his wife, Obama or some other unelected puppeteer.

Unmasking Masks

It would seem that, with exceptions, masks have become optional. Maybe, soon, they will be history.

It does not surprise me. If there was a reason to wear masks, they have had two years to prove it. No one did. On the contrary, I have heard reports of studies disproving their effectiveness.

I guess that was the reason for the judge’s ruling. I guess that is the reason the decision was not contested. I would suspect it won’t be long most of us will be maskless henceforth.

Next, hopefully, the mandatory vaccines will fade into obscurity. Then, maybe they will start allowing effective treatments. Seems to me that there are a few we already know of that work. There are even a couple inexpensive ones.

Joe Should Try Something New

So far , Joe has yet to own up to one of his many blunders. Something bad happens and Joe sticks his head up and looks around to see where he can affix the blame.

Maybe, perhaps, for a change he could try admitting his mistake.

Then again, this might be risky. People will wonder. Perhaps he’s an imposter. Maybe, someone is figuratively holding a gun on him. (It wouldn’t be a cannon. As he said, they are illegal. )

Incidentally , Joe can’t be a good leader. Good leaders own their mistakes. They don’t blame others. Now, it would seem others blame him. This is obvious from the more recent polls. It would seem he will leave a reputation of being an alibi Ike.

Best/Worst Choice

I used to doubt Joe’s intel. I used to doubt his ability to figure out the right choice. I would suspect that before he makes a choice, he spends hours, maybe days figuring things. Then when he knows which thing is right, he turns and does the exact opposite.

It might seem a farfetched idea but think of it. Givin a true false test, the law of averages say we can get half or near half of them right by guessing. So, the only way he can get it wrong 100% of the time is if he knows all the right choices. …and then Joe blames everyone but the man in the moon. He might still do that.

Worthless Laws

A number of years ago, we, as a nation made it illegal to make or drink alcoholic beverages. That did not work out so well. The fact of the matter is, it caused far more problems than it fixed. Moreover, the only ones that stopped drinking were those who obeyed the law. The rest, those who had little or no regard for the law kept drinking.

To make matters worse, the criminal element started making money from the law. Some made the alcohol. Some smuggled it, in some cases in rowboats. Guess what, those guys with the little boats ended up making a fortune. It seemed they could still make the stuff in Canada, but only for export. In other words, the Canadians were making a bundle of money off the law, and I am sure it was not by accident.

It was a well-meaning law. If they had managed to dry up the country, it likely would have done a lot of good. However, good or bad, the law was worthless.

And now Joe wants to pass another useless law. He wants to outlaw ghost guns. Certainly, it is well-meaning, just as prohibition. However, it is just as useless; maybe less. Nowadays, we have the internet. Anyone who knows how to surf the web and has a few machinic skills can quickly start making guns in his basement, just as those who made gin in bathtubs.

Moreover, there is nothing stopping people from making them in Canada, Mexico or South America and smuggling them, maybe in rowboats or sailboats. I don’t think I am suggesting anything new. Indeed, there are likely those waiting for the opportunity. Then they can make their money off the ghost gun law just as effectively as the mobs made their money off the booze.

I do have two real suggestions that just might work better than the useless laws. First, and most important, enforce the laws they currently have. May I remind one and all, this means those who murder with or without guns. You might note, some have used hammers or baseball bats.

Secondly, don’t make it so hard to buy and use guns in self-defense.

It is not a perfect solution. Nothing ever is. However, making guns illegal is going to only ensure that us regular citizens will have no defense when those who do have guns show up in our Living rooms uninvited.

Incidentally, do we really want to spend all our tax dollars trying to enforce a worthless law?

Biden’s One Very Smart Decision

Right out of the gate, Joe made one very bad decision after the next. Among the many other things, he opened the border and closed shut down the oil industry. However, maybe his smartest decision was made before he took office.

At the time I thought it was dumb, but the more I think it over, it was wise. By selecting Kamala Harris as his running mate, he insured that they would make him immune to the 25th amendment. No one in their right mind would want Kamala in the oval office. Can you imagine listing to her cackle most every day.

So, at least for the first two years, he’s safe. On the other hand, with a republican speaker, it is plausible to talk them both into resigning. Then, we would have a republican congress and president.

It is not impossible. The dems came very close when they attacked Agnew and then Nixon. Before the middle of his second term, we had a man in the oval office that was not elected. They might not have put a dem in office, but it was the next thing to it. Being as he was not elected, he had little or no mandate.

If the dems can do it, why can’t the republicans?

Debris !

After our recent snow, our trees lost several limbs. In itself this wasn’t the half. Some of them, some of the biggest ones landed on my storage shed. What a mess. Oh, yes, a couple of them totally mutilated my gate, which cost me me $200 and a couple of afternoons.

The steel shed, though it is now useless, did protect everything inside from physical damage. I am now considering 3 or 4 options to replace it. The thing is, no matter, I must first remove the ton, literally, of debris on and around it.

I looked here and there for some assistance, but it is to small a disaster to call FEMA. It’s one of those in between things. It’d be, maybe better had it been worse. (Now figure that irony)

So, every now and then, when I feel like it and weather permits, I take my rake, shovel and electric chainsaw out and work until I can’t. At 72, that’s not long.

For those that think I’m complaining, I’m not.

I saw a middle-aged man shoveling debris in Ukraine. He has every right to complain. He has a right to complain about Putin and his army. He has a right to complain about politicians who can and should have helped, but are more concerned about climate change. He had a lot to complain about.

Instead, he goes about his task. He is possibly feeling the pains of loss of loved ones and/or friends. He might possibly be wishing someone had sent more weapons and planes. It is not likely, but possible he wished the dems hadn’t cheated on our election. Even he likely knows that there wouldn’t be a war if Trump had been in the Oval Office. He would know that because Putin waited for Biden. Only then was there war.

No, I don’t complain about a little weather. There are many things that are far worse.
