It is oh so easy to win the debate when one controls the meaning of the words. It is so amazing when one considers just how frequently the liberals have changed our vocabulary. I guess that is what one does when they the facts keep getting in the way.

Longer back than I care to remember, I was walking through the King of Prussia Mall. I wasn’t shopping but killing time and looking around. From time to time I came across a woman, attractive in her mid twenties. She was whistling and I must admit very well.

However, she always whistled the same tune. Finally, I just had to ask, “Are you whistling Stranger in Paradise or Prince Igor. She broke into a big smile and replied, “I guess it doesn’t matter.”

For those familiar with the two works, you will know exactly what she was whistling. Prince Igor is an opera written by Alexander Borodin on or about 1869. Stranger in paradise uses essentially the same tune but is accredited to Robert Wright and George Forrest. It is from the musical Kismet but was made famous by Tony Bennett in 1953. The tune of Stranger in Paradise is essentially the same as that portion of Prince Igor.

Therefore, as she said, it didn’t matter. All but the most knowledgeable in such music could tell the difference from listening to the tune.

By the way, I have copies of both and I thoroughly enjoy them. By the way, I also enjoyed listening to the young lady in the mall.

Nonetheless, I have found there are many things that are called by different names. For instance drug stores in England are called chemists. Cats are also called felines and dogs are also called K-nines. In the old days, we used to call cars horseless carriages. A little more recently, they were automobiles. I have heard of truckers who were offended when you call their rig a truck.

Nowadays, we have a problem on the border, which was obviously caused by Biden. No matter what you want to call the problem, it is a disaster, a crisis or perhaps just a predictable catastrophe, the equivalent of a category 5 hurricane. So, the truth is, IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER what you call it. Does it? The kids are still going through pain and danger in very cramped conditions. The drug smugglers are still smuggling their dope. The criminals are still sneaking across the border while the Border Patrol take care of the kids. Those who traffic in prostitution and sweat shops still make their profits. Oh. And by the way, it is quite possible that one or two terrorists made it into the country. The thing about that is that we won’t know until one of them sets his bomb off, who knows where or when. In that case, it really does matter, but it would seem it doesn’t matter to the dems at all. The refuse to consider it.

It appears that Cuomo just might be forced to resign over the three women he sexually abused. The irony is that he may never have to answer for killing 15,000 people. It would seem that Russian had it right. He said, if you kill one it is murder. If you kill a million, it is a statistic. Well, now Cuomo has his stats, though not a million. On the other hand, Obama did and he got off without so much as a slap on the wrist. Moreover, I don’t think either of them suffer a loss of sleep.

I guess the lesson of this story is that if you want to kill a bunch of people, make sure you hold and important government position and make sure you kill a lot more than one. You might not sleep at night, but you’ll avoid any punishment.

I guess a few years ago I wrote a post about people lining up on the border and just walking north. If they had guns, it would be considered an act of war.

It’s different now. Guess what? They now have guns!!! and they are using them.

BUILD THE WALL!!

The official newspaper was called “Pravda,” which means truth. In other words, the Soviets wrote lies and called them truth. It is an example, a demonstration that calling something the truth doesn’t always make it so.

On the other side of the coin, the truth is the truth and it cannot be made a lie, as the dems would like to do. The one thing that confuses me, when they say up is down and down is up, half the county believes them. They don’t question it. To be sure they call the lie the truth and, lo and behold, most many have little or no doubt. Those that have enough sense to figure it out are very cautious to openly question the lie. Look what happened to President Trump when he dared to doubt the Pravda of the dems. He was impeached, not once but twice.

Let’s look at one thing Biden did, prevent the oil pipeline. Let’s look at the repercussions.

1. Over 1000 people lost their jobs in one day. It was said they can get other jobs. However, the fact is that 1000 families will be going hungry for a while and Biden characteristically doesn’t care. It is possible that one or two families will lose their homes. Several family dogs will be going into shelters or just turn lose to fend for themselves.
2. The cost of oil and gasoline will go up. Those who can afford it least will be affected by it the most, those that must drive to and from work and those who use vehicles for their work. Farmers and truckers will have to pay more for diesel and all of us will have to pay more for heating and AC.
   On the other hand, the Arabs and Russians will be cheering at the higher profits they will get for their oil. It will also likely help that horrible dictator in Venezuela. It is not a side effect. It is planned. Bidden wants to help the monster. He likes the man. The two of them have a great deal on common.
3. The tourist industry industry will suffer, this after they are already suffering from the virus. If people have to pay more for gas, they will do less traveling. Of course, tourist must travel. It sort of goes hand and hand.
4. This will invariably have repercussions throughout the country: in refineries, manufacturing and the cost of finished goods.
5. Perhaps worst of all, along with the moratorium on fracking, will put us at the mercy of other countries for our energy. We will have to bend to the will of those countries producing energy.
6. Finally, the oil will not be stopped by stopping the oil line. It is ridiculously to think so. The oil will simply travel by other means: rail, barge and truck. All of these methods are more dangerous, less efficient, and far more expensive.

Let’s face it. Pravda got it wrong then and Biden is getting it wrong now. The question is, is it because he doesn’t know better or because he is doing it on purpose. The one is as bad or worse than the other. In the end, damage is just as bad.

It would appear that wonderful governor you democrats voted into office has just about closed your theme park permanently, because of the virus. I just might have a solution for your problem. I got the idea from one of my books. Just simply move the whole park, the hotels and restaurants onto an artificial island about ten miles off the coast of Orange county.

I don’t know what methods might be best. In my book, I used big barges. I am sure you could use bigger ones. It is also possible that you could buy a bunch of dirt and or sand and pile it up our there. Ether way, you could add an attraction. Under water viewing while the customer’s eat in “Mr Nemo’s Fine Seafood.” I really do like that idea. You could have a big mock-up of the infamous Nautilus, obviously, the Verne one.

Docks and heliports could be added to bring people to and from the island. If you used the barge method, you could use stabilizers for when it got a little stormy. Then too, everyone knows that the ocean off the south coast of California is ideal most of the time. In general, it is mostly tolerable the rest of the time. You would only need to shut down things a few days a year.

One big benefit is that the park would no longer be in California. You would not be subject to California property or income taxes. You could almost operate the park with what you would save on the levees. Moreover, you’d not need to pay any extra taxes on hotel or restaurant operations.

Well, there is one sticky wicket. There is no way that your wonderful governor will permit operations from the mainland… not while that virus continues to exist. Still, the idea is pretty good for a nice hotel. Maybe you could use the idea for a hotel anyway. Then again, there are regulations and red tape. It might take you a decade or two to get permission to start such a thing. You know how those democrats like to run governments. You might need a century to open the thing. It just might be a good idea to build a hundred miles off the coast. Then, what would be the point? A hotel a hundred miles from land?

By the way, for you Californians, I have a hint. Replacing the governor is not even a good start in getting things straightened out. It would be far better to reset the whole thing and start from scratch and disallow anyone with a D after his name from running for office.

The dems, after four solid years of badgering President Trump have apparently gotten their revenge. However, it does prompt the question, “For what?”

It is obvious that the dems have sought revenge from the time Trump became President Trump, and a little before. They have been figuratively after his head for some reason; I just don’t know what.

Is it because of all the people, especially minorities that he provided jobs for. Is it because of the far better national security he has provided. Are they upset because he brought life back to rust-belt and the mining regions. Maybe they don’t like the lower prices for gasoline. Surely it wasn’t because of the fantastic economy. Indeed, had in not been for the virus blindsiding the country, and the entire world, the Dow would likely be pushing 35,000. Were they upset that people like me were making so much money off our 401k’s

I don’t know.

They claimed he lied. Yet, to the best of my knowledge he fulfilled his pre-election promises better than any president I ever saw. (and I have been around a while or two) perhaps that is why they didn’t like him. All of us Walmart shoppers were moving up in the world.

Oh! I Know why! It is simple. He did so well that it made the dems inept. In fact, he even made many republicans look bad. And by the way, in spite of the badgering and lack of cooperation, he actually did the one thing that will slow the flood over the border. He built a wall.

While everyone else, on both sides of the isle promised comprehensive immigration reform, Trump promised a wall. In as much as any man can, he succeeded. More important, he brought illegal immigration to a virtual halt.

By the way, had he not stopped the flow, far more US citizens would have suffered and died from the virus. One out of five trying to come north were infected with virus. And the dems claimed that he did nothing to control the virus. The truth is that they did nothing to stop it. In fact, if we had done as Biden suggested, it would have been close to twice as bad.

And for this the dems demanded vengeance. It is not by mere coincidence that the states that have the worst problems with the virus are those run by the dems. I won’t go so far as to suggest that the dems did it on purpose to give them something to hold against President Trump. However, I would not be surprised if someone provided me positive proof. Let’s face it. All that they did made it worse.

Florida had less than half the problem, even though they had a bigger and older population. Think about it. Florida had a republican governor. I don’t know about the governor of New York. It is conceivable the dems will disown him after the damage he did to New York. Florida is well on the way to recovery. I’m not sure New York has hit bottom yet. It might take decades for New York to recover. It is only by chance that the census was before the virus. Had it been after, New York just might have lost 1 or 2 more representatives than they did. New York has lost millions. They will raise taxes in an effort to recover, driving even more south.
