It's Friday and Biden still sucks

 The Biden administration wants to ban menthol cigarettes. Just for the record, more than75% of black smokers are menthol cigarette smokers. The administration also claims that the LGBTQRSTUV .crowd are heavy users of menthol cigarettes. Just another example of the liberal "Nanny State" knowing what is good for you. No need to think, the liberals are doing that for you.

Democrats want to legalize marijuana and outlaw menthol cigarettes. I think it is time to start drug testing those in Congress.

I just saw that Joy Behar claims that Tim Scott's problem is  "Now, Tim Scott, he does not seem to understand — and a lot of them don’t seem to understand — the difference between a racist country and systemic racism. They don’t seem to get the difference." While Behar is obviously an idiot, I would like her to explain who "them" is.  Who exactly is the "them" who don't seem to get the difference between a racist country and systemic racism? Is it Tim Scott and his family? Is it US Senators? Is it South Carolinians? Is it blacks? Share your wisdom with the great unwashed, Joy!

Best reply to Joy was from Byron Donalds, Congressman from Florida, who said: "Why the hell are we even listening to Joy Behar".  From there, he went pretty much negative on Joy.

Liberals are trying to float the idea of a "one time wealth tax" on the rich. First, there is no such thing as a "one time" tax or even a temporary tax in this country. In 1971, I worked part time at a service station. On the sale of tires, there was a Federal excise tax to collect that had been passed during WW2 as a temporary measure. The war ended in 1945, the tax was still alive and well in 1971. Second, how do you turn a rich Democrat into a Republican? Pass that wealth tax. LeBron James could end up playing for Trump.

Democrats are Communists. They want to reward lack of effort and penalize success. 

In Michigan where "Whacko Whitmer" still occupies the Royal Palace, Wayne County (Detroit) had a positive test rate last week of 14.0%. Adjacent to Wayne County, Washtenaw County had a positive test rate of 3.2%. How does the virus detect the county line? Tell me again about how lockdowns work.

I know that COVID-19 is on the ropes and will be gone soon because I have read the news. Yesterday, there was finally a story about the Opioid epidemic that was going to kill us all. Of course, that was in the year 1 B.C. (Before COVID). It seems that the opioid epidemic is still raging, there was just no one in the news media paying attention. 

Why have we had so many riots in the last year? Could there be a correlation between angry mobs and lockdowns?  People who are working 40 hours a week and taking care of their families don't have the time to riot.

Maybe after the current crisis has ended, we can discuss the psychological effects of lockdowns and job losses on the American public. Let's start with a look at the climb in the suicide rates. When you read an obituary and see that someone "died suddenly", that's usually a code term for suicide. Tragically, the rate has climbed among teens. People who have not been in schools and not allowed to visit with friends are suffering. The 17 year old son of an acquaintance "died suddenly" a couple of weeks ago. Are suicide victims any less dead because it wasn't COVID that killed them or was it?

This week's most overused word in the United States is "transparency". I am just sick of hearing it. The news media screams for "transparency", but they don't provide it. Why don't they allow us to interview them live on television. Let's find out who reporters voted for or against. Tell us about your family. How much do you make a year? Who do you donate money to? What are your religious beliefs? Why do you support Biden? If you want me to believe your reporting about anything, I am going to need to know more about how your opinions came to exist. If not, shut the hell up about transparency.

In Arizona on Thursday night, two police officers were hit by a felon in a stolen car. One was killed, the other is in critical condition. Three state troopers had minor injuries that were not life threatening. Also injured was a car dealership employee. Was this the top story on your news today? There is no mention of it on the News & Record web site.
