Just heard about the strike that Biden ordered in Syria. I willingly give credit where credit is due. It certainly looked like the proper thing to do, given the recent strike by Iran. Moreover, given the time element, it appears to have been well thought out.

Examples of Assault Weapons
Nowadays, many politicians talk about assault weapons. I get the basic idea. They are likely referring to the AR-15 Rifle, generally a semi-automatic rifle. Truly, if that is what they mean, that is what they should say, AR-15. The term assault weapon encompasses a large list of weapons. I have included a few of them below.
- A rock. If used to perform a murder, it is a weapon, and of course, the murderer did assault the person. That would be true if the victim died or not.
- Spears or arrows.
- A sling shot. Though it is seldom deadly, it can be used to assail a person.
- A baseball bat, or for that matter a golf club. I guess it depends on which one is handy.
- A butcher knife.
- A fire extinguisher. However, current evidence says that one was not used Jan 6 in the Capitol Building.
I think you get the idea. If you are going to try to outlaw a weapon, maybe you should be more specific. Otherwise we may not be able to buy golf balls.
Ignore the Future
A look at priorities
Any halfway decent chess player will tell you that it is the long sighted player who is does well. The good players will normally think at least 8 moves ahead.
Currently, I play games of Free Space on my computer and I have been playing it for years. Again, I have found, if you want to win consistently, you need to plan far ahead. If don’t you will frequently lose. Indeed, the moves that appear the most obvious will frequently lead you to a dead end. Those moves that seem the least redeeming open up into wins.
The same can be said about many things. Certainly, none of us really wants to put our shoulder to grindstone and study in school. Yet, consistently, those who study the most frequently get the best paying jobs.
Yet, it surprises me as I look out into society today and see all those who have spent their lives studying and accumulating knowledge making very short sighted decisions.
They put a super priority on global warming when there are far more important things. I assure you, if China takes control of this world, going green will be the least of anyone’s concerns. Yet businesses make nice with China, knowing that, in the long run, it will end in disaster.
Think!
Why is it that China sells steel and aluminum at a loss? Why do they go into backward countries and set up infrastructure systems and provide low interest and no interest loans?
The answer is simple. They want world domination. And today, guess what? They have American, so-called geniuses helping them, willingly, even gladly. Some of them even are taking part in the takeover. Some of the American multi-billionaires help in financing the takeover.
That’s stupid. In a real communist society, there are no millionaires, let alone billionaires. In theory no one gets any more; no one gets any less regardless of what they do or don’t do.
It would seem, very few geniuses these days want to look past the next few days. So, like the beginner chess player, we don’t ever look past the next move. Like the novice politician, we never look past the next month, let alone the next year. The businessman never looks past his profits. Tomorrow is everything and we ignore the future.
I Don’t Understand It
All those “go green” folks insisted on closing the pipeline. And so it is. Biden did it with the stroke of the pen.
However, take note, the oil is still shipped. It is shipped by truck, by train and by ship. Nothing is different. They never stopped one drop from going anywhere. Worse, some of those trucks will be in accidents. Occasionally, even the trains have derailments. (boy do they have derailments and people suffer for miles around.) Moreover, by shipping the old way, far more energy is consumed in moving it. The pipeline would have been far safer.
I have to assume it was never about green. Obviously something else is involved.
I suppose it might have been about Trump. Biden might have shut the pipeline down just to spite Trump. Now that would be a really good reason to put thousands of people out of work in the middle of a downturn in employment.
At least he could have thought it through. Just maybe he could have found jobs for the men working on the pipeline before he shut the thing down. Then again, that would make sense. Can’t expect him to think about things like that. Bottom line, I think he has made a few enemies and I don’t think they will forget it either. When people go from a 100-200 thousand dollar incomes to going on food stamps, they have a tendency to remember such things.
It’s for the Kids?
I have heard the plea a thousand times. Okay. I exaggerate a tad. Just nine hundred. “It’s for the kids.” By the way, when you hear that, it’s time to grab hold your wallet. They are after your money, the end of which has little if anything to do with the kids.
In this case however, it is a little different. It really is for the sake of the kids. It is time for them to go back to school. Unfortunately, what they are saying this time is, ” Ignore the kids; it’s for the teachers. So the teachers and the kids stay home and, by the way, they are still paying the teachers. I can’t figure what side of it Biden is on, the side of the teacher unions. I don’t think that that press secretary of his can figure it out either.
Tell me how that benefits the kids.
Maybe we should close the education unions and open the schools.
A Title Wave
As Biden started opening up the border, I tried so hard to think of a good analogy. Well, maybe I have one. I do find it interesting that he shut out all the folks on flight from outside the US without a test and quarantine while he permits all the illegals to flow in without concern.
It did remind me of a man who just shut off the facet valve while ignoring the tidal wave on the way. I mean it is a good thing to shut off the valve. He cuts down on water usage and it does decrease the water flow into the area somewhat. However, he just might wished he had built a big sea wall before that tidal wave hit.
Now, you see he turned off the spigot at the airports, cutting off the trickle. On the other hand, he has ignored the border allowing the onslaught of the wave of sick sick aliens. When all is said and done, there just might be a few folks asking him why he did that…especially when the covid19 spreads throughout the country from the border you left insecure — intentionally. I mean isn’t he the one who was going to solve the virus problem?
Thank You Biden
I just checked my 401k, which had been doing well. Not so much now. It just lost 6,000 over the last 2 days. Then to, why should he care. He issued any apologies when he his signature cost the lives, oh somewhere in around 30,000 or more lives. After all, when you’re dealing with those kind of numbers, who cares?
Where’s the Cake
After Biden waved his pen and put thousands of people out of work, he was asked about the sudden unemployment. In essence he replied, let them find other jobs. It reminded me of the quote attributed to Marie Antoinette, “Let them eat cake.”
She was said to have said it out of ignorance. She figured that if the people ran out of bread they could eat cake instead. Of course, the only ones who had food were the royalty. There was no bread and there was no cake. And so the people revolted. After the revolution, royalty was very rare in France. Most lost their heads.
And now, the dems say, let them get other jobs. Apparently they speak with the same ignorance that Marie spoke with. Guess what? Unemployment is up. Jobs are down. On top of this, there is going to be even more competition for the jobs there are. In a couple of weeks, there is going to be flood of illegals into this nation such that we have never seen. They will take our jobs and flood our hospitals. Many will bring their crime, their disease and become burdens to the welfare system. To be sure the governor of California has already promised them healthcare, free no less.
As with the Marie Antoinette, the dems are telling those who lost their jobs to eat cake, but there is no cake. People will sit around the dinner table, but there will be no dinner. The jobs they lost paid over a hundred grand. If they are lucky, they might get a job paying a fifth of that. They will lose their houses, their cars and their 401ks. They might not find a job at all. For those unaware, such things often lead to alcoholism and suicides. And all Biden can say is “Let them eat cake.”
If there are many wonderful ‘green’ jobs where are they? Just maybe, before Biden signed those pieces of paper, he should have looked around a little. Maybe he could have looked in the help wanted ads for jobs paying 100- thousand. I don’t know. Would he have found a few thousand jobs offering salaries of 80 grand.
The Constitution was written with latitude. Those that wrote it thought that those running our government would somewhat know what they were doing. They never considered the gross stupidity of those holding office today.
Then again, they never figured that there would be so much dishonesty in our voting. They never figured that a few men and corporation would provide so much of the campaigning. When they provided freedom of the press, they never figured that they would seek the destruction of our republic.
Then again, they handed the country over to the younger generation, knowing how fragile it was. For over two hundred years, we held onto it. If the forefathers say the nation today, the one they started, they just might be a little repentant. It just might bring tears to their eyes.
Bottom line, if the dems keep telling us to eat cake, they just might expect a revolution. Not from me. I’m too old. I wouldn’t even suggest it. It is an observation. When the pressure in the boiler gets to high, things are going to happen.
Robots??
It seems impossible, but it was before I was married when I saw the exhibition of the robot depiction of Abraham Lincoln at Disneyland. That seems a long time ago and I am sure they have made enormous improvements to the science. They are likely more realistic, quieter and more able to stand alone. The one I saw likely had a cable the size of my leg going off somewhere which controlled every move the robot made.
Nonetheless, I was very impressed at the robot. More than that, I had never heard the speech before and I found it very moving.
Here lately, I’ve seen a number of speeches by Biden. After a while, I figured out what he reminded me of. The motion, the mannerisms and the slow actions reminded me of the robot I saw over fifty years ago.
I shook my head over the thought. Could it be? Of course not. No one would dare try such a thing. Moreover, they can’t possibly have improved robots to that point. I mean, Biden walked, even ran up to the podium before speaking. I guess the one thing that really convinced me that he is human were the mistakes. I mean, if they are going to replace a person with a robot, surely they wouldn’t go so far as to duplicate the mistakes as well, though it would help the realism.
There is one advantage of such a robot. It would be totally controlled by those who are behind him. It would mean that that Biden wouldn’t be making the decisions but a bunch of criminals behind the scenes.
I am something of a sci-fi fan. It certainly would make a good plot for a book, especially a futuristic book. Could such a thing happen today? Of course not. At least I don’t think so. Then again, I don’t see much difference. His people tell him what to do, what to say. That is sort of like a robot.
For Americans???
I just Heard Leo Terrell say something that really puts the finger on Biden’s problem. I hope Mr. Terrell will permit me to paraphrase. He said,
[Biden said that he will do things for Americans. Yet on his first day he signs 17 executive orders, all of which benefit other nations, not Americans.]
As far as I am concerned, the above two sentences should be shouted from the rooftops. They should be broadcasts from every radio station. They should be tweeted by every tweeter. Somehow, I don’t think that will happen.
I might add, not only that, when he disallowed the pipeline, he not only helped foreigners, but also put thousands of Americans out of work, today. Also, I wonder just how many Canadians cheered when they heard the news.
I have but one word for Biden, fraud. He knows he is one and so do most of the people in this country. I will never call him president. He has blatantly stolen the office and it is something he will never truly be able to deny. By preventing proper investigations, the dems have seen to that.
When the forefathers chose to require presidents to be born in the US, the reason was obvious. They wanted to make sure they did not represent foreign nations. At this point, it would see Biden has chosen to represent exclusively foreign nations. As for we Americans, sorry. We just get left out. We don’t rate.
