Take Two Tuesday

 The Marine Lt. Col. who questioned the mess in Afghanistan was relieved of command and has announced that he is resigning from the Marine Corps. Did anyone else notice how differently he was treated by the media compared to the way that Lt. Col. Vindman was treated? According to Congressional Democrats and media lackeys, Vindman was the first guy from the Ukraine to walk on water. No one in the media offered any contrary opinions to that idea. Of course, due to Adam "California's Greatest Liar" Schiff, we will never know who Vindman called to discuss the phone call.

President Buffoon Biden referred to a 47 year old black man as "boy" during a FEMA briefing yesterday. Cedric Richmond is a former Congressman. Imagine if Donald Trump had called him "boy". 

High School reunion still coming up in about 30 days. I haven't decided whether or not to attend yet. My instincts are screaming "Not just no, but Hell No!". The deadline to register is coming up in a few days. All I have to do is just stall and let the deadline decide for me. Maybe if I could get a list of who is going to attend, it might help. 

Going through some inherited "stuff" today, I came across a ten page booklet by Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker titled "When a Man Faces Death".  It was published in 1943 by the War Service Committee of American Viewpoint. There was a later edition that was 32 pages long published in 1948 by the YMCA. It was a really interesting read, but the amazing thing was that he wrote the least about his WW2 experience. Yes, he wrote the least about surviving 21 days on a raft in the South Pacific after his plane crashed. Maybe the YMCA version has more on that incident. Last, but certainly not least, the booklet was given to someone by the Lane Furniture Company of AltaVista, VA. It must have been free with the purchase of a cedar chest or a coffee table.

Has anyone seen Kamala Harris lately? At the grocery store this afternoon, I thought that I spotted her face on a milk carton.

Maybe Al Sharpton could follow Kamala's lead and go hide somewhere.

I got an email from some Republican group raising money today. I guess that they have tired of emailing me and getting no response. The message today was titled "You must be a Democrat now, Gilbert". I responded immediately with a profanity filled explanation of my feelings about people trying to shame me into donating money. I don't expect a response. 

Sunday Sundries Ver.8.29

 A couple of days ago, I had 140 pageviews from France. Yes, France. Was it my post mentioning Afghan "surrender monkeys"? I doubt it, but who understands French humor? This is a nation that loved Jerry Lewis and his movies. they still do. Maybe it is French readers who are curious about the debacle unfolding daily in Kabul and and are looking for honesty in the viewpoints of Americans. Regardless of all the theories, thanks to those folks for reading.

The President and his stooges keep bragging about our "over the horizon" capabilities. Just for the record, U.S. battleships could hit targets "over the horizon" in WW2. Why are Biden and others bragging about this capability? The Taliban takeover at Kabul took place right in front of our troops and our commanders made the decision to do nothing. You don't need "over the horizon" capability to make a "do nothing" call.

In Louisiana today, they are bracing for Hurricane Ida to make landfall. I hate the Weather Channel and their coverage of storms. Someone said that watching a hurricane come your direction is like being stalked by a turtle. Just remember, everything in a forecast is just a guess until things actually happen. No one keeps stats on the accuracy of weather forecasters. If they do, they are keeping it to themselves.

Why do we keep building in New Orleans, a city with large portions below sea level, and then act shocked when it floods? The French Quarter, the old part of New Orleans, is actually above sea level. That was built before we became so arrogant that we thought man could do anything. Write off any flooding related deaths to the arrogance of mankind. Wait! Let's spread a little of that blame around and blame the stupidity of government, as well.

They are telling people to try to follow COVID protocols as they seek shelter from the storm. Let's see, the wind is blowing at 120 MPH and I am seeking shelter. Will I bypass the shelter where they are not social distancing and take my chances out in the storm? If you have to think about this, tape your ID to your body to make the coroner's job easier.

We are told that high level terrorists have been killed by US drone attacks. No names have been released. That's probably because they aren't high level terrorists. Would the government lie to us?

Has Biden cancelled his speech about ending the war in Afghanistan scheduled on September 11? Or is he going to give it early on September 1? 

Biden keeps blaming Trump for this whole situation. Trump's plan called for the withdrawal to be finished by May 1. I am pretty sure that we are in late August now. But does Biden know that it is late August?

Unless Jen Psaki is blowing Biden, he needs to get a new press secretary. Joe, at least get one who knows what "stranded" means. That is actually contingent on whether Joe knows the meaning of "stranded".

It's going to happen one day, but I don't know when. It doesn't matter. I want a ticket to the Senate hearing where Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana gets to question Gen. Milley Vanilli.

Foolish Friday Fever

 A headline from the New York Times a couple of hours ago reads, "Intelligence Review yields no firm conclusion on Origins of Virus". The story goes on to tell us that they have not been able to determine whether or not it started in China. Let me be kind, this is not the time for any statements from the "intelligence community" about what they know. It is obvious that they don't know shit. That excludes their knowledge of some occasional Twitter feed from some redneck who voted for Trump. They are all over those guys. 

The "Intelligence Community" still thinks that the Afghan Army can make a comeback and retake the country. Of course, that is based on us sending 100,000 troops to keep the Taliban busy in Kabul.

The Taliban is on Twitter, Donald Trump is banned from Twitter. If this makes sense to you, seek help from a mental health professional immediately. Either that or ask your wife, Dr. Jill, to explain it to you.

Cameltoe Harris is back from her excursion to scenic Vietnam. There were reports that she had a case of "Havana Syndrome". When asked about it, she denied ever sleeping with a Cuban man. The State Department was careful to see that she did not get in or near a helicopter while she was in Vietnam. Now, that would have been a photo op!

A story in a prominent liberal newspaper described Kamala Harris as "our first female Vice President of color". I am pretty sure that she is our first female Vice President, colored or not. She is also the first Vice President to have slept with Willie Brown, but nobody's bragging about that. 

There are rumors  that General Milley Vanilli may fall on his own sword and resign after the debacle eases in Afghanistan.  I still favor firing the entire Joint Chiefs and Secretary Austin. Wait, I forgot about shutting down several "intelligence" agencies.

I lost my reader in Kenya. Maybe I upset them by criticizing his relative's birthday bash in Martha's Vineyard. I would say something about the lack of masks at said party but everybody knows that COVID doesn't spread at Democratic functions. AIDS does.

I had a burst of readers from France today. Maybe it was driven by my comment a few days ago about the Afghan Army replacing the French as the top "surrender monkeys".

The Hillsville Labor Day Weekend Flea Market starts next Friday. If you crave being insulted in person, I am in the VFW lot.

Stranded in Afghanistan?

 Jen Psaki, liar at large? A day after "calling out" a Fox reporter for claiming that Americans are stranded in Afghanistan, the President's official liar said that there are some Americans that we will not be able to get out of Afghanistan. Sounds like stranded to me?

Will the famed prevaricator, Ms. Psaki, apologize for castigating the Fox reporter for his question? Not in my lifetime, not on this planet. A prevaricator of Ms. Psaki's high standard will not admit the truth to the great masses of the unwashed. So, that's a no!

Two Congressmen are being attacked for taking a secret trip to Afghanistan to see the chaos firsthand. Critics are claiming that the two seats taken by those two could have been used to evacuate someone. Anticipating this criticism, the two Congressmen sat in "crew seats" and flew on planes that were not full. Attacking people who go to see for themselves, rather than accepting the bilge being put out by official sources, leaves us all wondering "What are they hiding?" 

Given the debacle that has taken place over the last few weeks in Afghanistan, is there any  sane person who believes any reports coming from our government sources?

We have eighteen (18) "intelligence" agencies under the umbrella of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Eighteen agencies and no one saw this disaster coming. It is time to cut some "spying fat" from the budget.

Gen. Milley Vanilli must be in his "hidey-hole" this week. Either that or his staff is trying to explain to him how wrong he was about the ability of the Afghan army. Gomer Pyle could be a general in the Afghan Army. 

Boos, views, and news

 The FDA has approved one of the COVID vaccines for normal as opposed to emergency use. Now the choice is clear. Do I die from the disease or die from the vaccine? Just remember that everything recalled by the FDA was once approved by the FDA.  The FDA approves a vaccine that Biden wants everyone to take, who could have seen that coming? If the first one worked, why do you need a booster a few weeks later?

Public schools are just holding pens for those who will end up in prison soon. 

The Democrats have taken another step in their plan to bankrupt the nation. They are a step closer on their $3.5 trillion generational spending spree, The fate of the nation hangs on the votes of Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. I will spend the day tomorrow cleaning the guns.

I ordered my new, "Everything woke turns to shit" shirt this morning. I will post a pic when it arrives.

My career as a juror lasted less than two hours yesterday. While I was picked to be seated on the jury, I didn't make it through the first round of questions. I was the first in the jury pool to be dismissed. The long version of this story will post tomorrow or Friday. I will wait until the jury reaches  a verdict to post my story. Like somebody actually reads this. HA!!

I am busy sorting "stuff" to take to the Labor day Flea market in Hillsville, VA. next weekend. I picked up a couple of old baseball gloves today. So, if you are a fan of when baseball gloves were smaller than a bushel basket, stop by and check these out.

If we impeach and remove Biden, will he know? 

Jen Psaki, Biden's mouthpiece, told a Fox reporter that it was irresponsible to say that there are Americans trapped in Afghanistan. Actually Jen, it is lying to say that there aren't Americans trapped in Afghanistan.

The CIA director met with a Taliban leader yesterday. This is the most accurate briefing that  he has had in years.

In an effort to bring the Afghanistan crisis to a swift end, General Milley Vanilli has forwarded all of his materials on Critical Race Theory and white extremists to the Taliban for them to study.

Acknowledging that "burnout is real", Bojangles is closing all of their company operated restaurants on Monday, August 30 and again on Monday, September 13 to give their staff a little time to recharge. Now if the Washington will just shut down for a few days? 

Speaking of Washington, Ron Rivera, Head Coach of the team that cannot be named, recently criticized a news network for disinformation about COVID and vaccines. Sorry if facts bother you, Ron. No one pays you for medical advice. Maybe you should just keep teaching guys how to hurt and cripple each other and leave medicine to others?

Coming this week

 I have to report tomorrow for jury duty. I want to meet the defense lawyer who looks at me and thinks, "I have to get that guy to decide my client's fate." Yep, it should be a pretty short week. Long ago and far away in Tampa, I was removed from a jury just minutes before the trial started. The defendant claimed that I had him arrested one night at the Waffle House. When asked by the defense attorney why I had not volunteered that information, I replied, "It's the Waffle House, somebody gets arrested there almost every night. I can't remember them all." He didn't think that it was as funny as I did. The judge must have liked my answer, he told me that there was no need for me to come back for the rest of the week. 

In Greensboro, City Council member Michele Kennedy resigned from the City Council on Tuesday and then was hired as the director of the Neighborhood Development Department on Thursday. Does a City Council member have any unfair advantages in the hiring  process in the city government? Anyone with more than a room temperature IQ should be able to determine that this doesn't pass the smell test. The good news is that she isn't on the council anymore.

What do generals and bank robbers have in common? They both need a getaway plan for when the job is done. General Milley Vanilli had no plan. Maybe if Gen. Milley would give up reading about Critical race Theory and started studying Patton's strategies, we wouldn't be in messes like the current cluster f*ck in Afghanistan. 

If this is a planned withdrawal in Afghanistan, what would an unplanned retreat look like?  Maybe Milley studied the battle of Little Big Horn or the battle of Camden for inspiration? Milley and his associates at the Joint Chiefs should all be relieved of command. Let's find some fighters.

I think that the stories attributing tropical Storm Henri  hitting the Northeast to a belief that God wanted to give New York a bath after Cuomo was through may be valid.

It's not looking good for Gavin "The Hair Guy" Newsome in this recall election. The media has opened up and is relentlessly attacking Larry Elder. This can only be that the polls are showing Elder leading the race. If you are in California, you can bet that there will not be any lockdowns before Election Day. 

Defund PBS!!

Wild and Woeful Wednesday

"Taliban destroy statue of foe, stoking fear over their rule"  This was today's headline on an Associated Press story about the happenings in Biden's Afghanistan. It might be funny if they had not spent the last couple of years praising people in this country for vandalizing and/or tearing down statues in this country. This is pretty close to the apex of hypocrisy. We will have to wait for Brain Dead Joe to comment to see if he can top that. 

Why are most of the Afghan refugees men?  Are the women all staying to be abused by the extremists? While the media asks how people could support the Taliban, the media still can't explain why Americans would elect a guy with dementia. 

I read a story out of England about soccer fans booing because some players are taking a knee. A manager said that he thought that fans didn't like the message the players are sending. He thinks they need to find another way to convey their message.  Fans are booing because they do understand the message the players are sending and they aren't interested in paying for tickets to see that performance. American performers should take note.

The NFL will play what is called "The Black National Anthem" at big games this year. I had no idea that there is a black national anthem. .Will they play "Dixie" at games in the old South? Will they play the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" in Northern states? Will they play the "Gay National Anthem" at games in California? People who claim they want to unite us are actually doing their best to divide us.  Memo to the NFL: There is only ONE national anthem. It doesn't matter what you play, I won't be watching anyway. I would rather watch American Picker reruns than watch a bunch of ungrateful, racist millionaires strut around while they play a game for a living.

Presidential Press Secretary Jen Psaki leaves me longing for Ron Zeigler's Jungle Cruise stories.

The New Orleans Saints have announced that you must have a vaccine card or a recent COVID test to get in the stadium for their home games. They will give no refunds. To appeas the fans, maybe they should run criminal background checks on all of the players before each game? They call them the Aints for a reason.

Just as COVID is staring to look bad for Biden, Afghanistan troubles pop up. Unable to focus on two problems at once, the press is going with Afghanistan.

In leftist Guilford County, a detention officer was arrested for having consensual sex with a female inmate. Maybe he was assessing her for a work release position as a prostitute? The sheriff, Danny Rogers, said that this was something that  "happened back in July". WOW! Three weeks ago, that's like ancient history in government. 

There is a new board game due out Friday. It's called, "Where's Kamala?" It is being marketed by Cameltoe Cackle Productions, Willie Brown, CEO.

Tuesday Taunts and Topics Ver.8.17

 The federal government is more like Europe than anyone will admit. It appears that they have all "gone on holiday" in August. It took two days to get Biden from Camp David to the White House. Then after lying to the press, he hopped on the chopper back to Camp David.  When he talks about this next week, his story will be "I had to evacuate the Kabul White House in a Marine chopper. I used to fly one."

D-R-A-W-D-O-W-N is how the Democrats and the media (Isn't that redundant?) spell RETREAT. We aren't retreating from Afghanistan, we are drawing down our troop levels and diplomatic staff. We are drawing down like the house is on fire.

The Chinese will be in Afghanistan by the end of the week for the big weekend yard sale of American military equipment being left behind. The Russians have already dispatched a fleet of 18 wheelers to haul their share of the loot back to Moscow. Is Biden driving the lead 18-wheeler in that convoy? Joe, not Hunter. 

I guess that Hunter Biden will remove the President of Afghanistan from his "art lover's" list for future sales.

Biden claims that he had to stick to the deal that Trump had made with the Taliban. Why didn't he do that with the southern border, oil drilling leases, pipelines, and all of Trump's other policies?

Someone named " anonymous" commented on my last post and suggested that I was just jumping on the bandwagon and criticizing Biden's Afghanistan policy because Trump is doing that.  Good try, Mr. Anonymous, but I am a long term critic and curmudgeon. Here's a link to a post from ten years and eleven days ago, go read it!  Random Moments of Lunacy: Afghanistan, Why?? Write again when you remember your name.

The Big Tech people are amazing. They can "de-platform" Presidents. They can suspend Senators, Congressmen, and anyone else who speaks outside of their guidelines. Yet incredibly enough, child porn is still a problem on the Internet. How exactly does this work?

Maybe the problem above works like modern medicine. We can't cure cancer, but we can turn a man into a woman?

Many payment processors like PayPal and banks have  decided that they don't want to do business with people who hold conservative values. They hate guns and those who own them. They hate people who support Trump. They want to force all of those people out of business. Yet they handle porn site payments? 

From the list of phrases that should be stricken from the language is "with an abundance of caution". This is everyone's M.O. in the never ending COVID "crisis".

PBS is begging for money again this week. I am waiting for their Jimmy Swaggart moment when they admit that "We have sinned." That will never happen and until then they just aren't going to find a conservative who will financially support a network that hates conservative values. 

Andrew Cuomo gave a two week notice for his resignation. Why? It's not like they have to go find a replacement. 

I am asking for a mail-in ballot for the Newsome recall election in California. I sent them a request stating that I "identify" as a California voter, therefore I am entitled to all of the rights of a California voter. By the way, if I get a ballot, I am voting for Larry Elder.

The Afghan Army has replaced the French Army as the world's finest "surrender monkeys".

The Folly of "Nation Building"

 While I hunker down in front of the computer on a bright Sunday morning, the Taliban hunkers down on the outskirts of Kabul in Afghanistan.

When the last American diplomat leaves Afghanistan in a few days or even hours, we will have an end to our latest debacle in "nation building".  This looks a lot like the fall of Saigon in 1975. Thank God for that fleet of American military helicopters that provides escape routes for diplomats and refugees. The good news is that we aren't pushing choppers off the decks of an aircraft carrier to make room for more to land as in the Vietnam disaster.

We spent close to $100 billion to train and equip the Afghan army and this was the best that they could do? Obviously the Afghanistan army strategists developed their plan by studying Custer's Last Stand and following the US Army strategy in that campaign.  In the United States we celebrated the "Battling Bastards of Bastogne" in World War 2. Today, the Afghans have the "Cowards of Kabul".

More than 100 years ago, George Santayana wrote "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Those who doubt these words are invited to watch the news from Afghanistan and reconsider their opinions. This is Vietnam all over again. We send in hundreds of thousands of soldiers to bring democracy to some foreign land and end up wasting thousands of lives and billions of dollars. Why?

WRITE THIS DOWN!  If you are a politician, take a permanent marker and inscribe it on the palm of your hand, "Democracy isn't for everyone". I hate to disillusion you, but democracy does not work for everyone. If you don't believe me, ask the Biden Central Committee, who are trying to remake our nation in the model of the old Soviet Union where they had a "ruling class". There are many people incapable of making sound decisions on running their own lives and need the government to do it for them. In 1776, those people were not abundant in this nation. Today, we have raised a bumper crop of those folks who want the government to provide everything that they need.

So what do we do now? Trump had the correct idea, America First! If you can't take care of yourself, you will never be able to take care of others. Bring everybody home and let's work out another plan. Why do we send money to China to fund anything?  Why send money to countries that hate us? Close the borders and work out our own problems. Physician, heal thyself.

Every day, freedom is diminished in the United States. At the time we were invading Afghanistan and seizing power there to "bring democracy to Afghanistan", we implemented the Patriot Act in this nation. The Patriot Act is at the very top of the list of laws that were completely misnamed, The Patriot Act only gave the government more control over our lives and reduced our freedom.. 

So what's the point of this rant? "Nation Building" doesn't work. It didn't work for us in Iran, it took a long time to work in South Korea and we still have thousands of troops there, it didn't work in Vietnam, and it is not going to work in other countries that we are pouring borrowed money into and thinking that we will make a difference. 

Let's clean our own house first!

...and the mask he rode into town on!`

 The 44th President of the United States celebrated his 60th birthday with a lot of friends last night in Martha's Vineyard. Photos posted on social media have all been deleted since they all show that the former President was not wearing a mask with that large group inside a large tent. More of that "rules for thee but not for me" Democratic Party  approach were in action there.

In related news, Random Moments of Lunacy has revealed that they believe that Obama is an RMOL reader. Google stats show that the blog has one regular reader from Kenya. Who else could it be?

Meanwhile. Andrew Cuomo is still in hiding after being accused, but not charged by the NY Attorney General, Letitia James. I guess that indicting Cuomo would have made her plan to run for governor a little too obvious.

There are rumors that Cuomo is actually visiting in Pennsylvania seeking counsel from Bill Cosby and his attorneys. CNN will soon be reporting that Christine Blasey Ford has issued a statement claiming that Cuomo also assaulted her at an unknown location on an unknown date with no witnesses. Bur she must be believed?

The latest version of Tex & Shirley's Family Restaurant was tentatively scheduled to reopen in mid July. They have not opened yet and I wish that they would. I am tired of people stopping me in stores to ask "Are they open yet?" I only left there nine and a half years ago. 

Years ago, I asked a doctor, "So what's wrong with me?" He replied, "Doctors don't know everything. Sometimes we just have to scratch our ass and say, 'Hell, I don't know what it is.'" It is time for Dr. Fauci to start scratching his ass.

We are starting to see that vaccinations are not a guarantee that you will not get COVID.  Masks are a joke. Only Democrats believe that masks will stop a virus and that is only among the great unwashed. Politicians don't need masks because their heads are always up another's ass, thereby preventing exposure.

During the AIDS epidemic, did they require gay men to all carry and use condoms? Did they shut down gay bars, spas, bath houses? Did they require gay people to be tested before being allowed to enter their workplace?  Didn't Fauci run that operation also?

Why are school systems all bowing down to the teacher unions and requiring masks for young children? Children under 12 are the least likely to get COVID and the least likely to die. 

Can the CDC mandate free groceries at grocery stores? Can they mandate free gas at gas stations? Can they mandate free beer at bars? Can they mandate free chicken from the Colonel? Can they mandate free clothing and shoes from Walmart and other retailers? Despite the Supreme Court telling them that the mandate to ban evictions can only be passed by Congress, Biden had them issue another extension on the eviction ban. They are taking people's property without compensation. It's time to end this shit.

Let those commies from "The Squad" spend the winter sleeping on the Capitol steps. By the way, common citizens would have been arrested and removed for doing that.

Less than seven months into his only term and I have just had it with Joe Biden and the Central Committee that does his thinking for him. I have had it with his ignorance of simple economics and his continued lying. Lying about stuff that is absurd. Examples are "Corn Pop", "I got to drive an 18 wheeler.", and any claim boasting of his intelligence. Let me be brief, "F*ck Biden and the mask he rode into town on!"

Curmudgeon Cancels Climate Change

 What caused climate change before man roamed the world?

What caused climate change before the Industrial Age?

Is it possible that the big shiny object in the daytime sky has more effect on the temperature of the earth than the environmentalists will admit? To use my favorite analogy, if I am sitting in the living room with a fire roaring in the fireplace, is the room temperature more affected by the fire or by me farting?

Photosynthesis is the process where plants grow and in the process, turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. Will reducing the available amount of carbon dioxide in the air to end climate change also reduce the amount of oxygen produced?

Is farming out all of the world's manufacturing to China and India (who appear unconcerned about climate change) going to solve the alleged climate change crisis? Do their emissions not count?

How does paying a tax, such as purchasing carbon credits, change the climate?

Does anyone with more than a room temperature IQ think that we can produce enough "clean" electricity to fuel the nation's transportation requirements? If you believe in wind and solar as good replacements for fossil fuels, you must have slept through the last winter storm and the effect on Texas and other states. In California, they can't produce enough electricity to avoid blackouts and brownouts in the summer now.  What's going to produce all of the electricity to power all of those cars sitting in traffic in California? In California, they have decided to close down their last nuclear plant several years before it was scheduled. By the way, those wind turbines are killing multitudes of birds. 

In California, Pacific Gas & Electric has announced that they will bury 10,000 miles of overhead cables to help prevent fires. Wait until you get the bill for that! 

Here's a personal example of the stupidity of this whole , "We will all have to drive electric vehicles" movement. As I write this the operation of my A/C at home is controlled by Duke Power. During peak usage periods, they control the power going to the A/C. I signed up for this program for a small discount on my bill. If we can't run our conditioners like we want, how in the hell are we going to have enough power to run all of the cars? Where is all that electricity going to come from?  Maybe we should all watch old reruns of Gilligan's Island and see how they lived without electricity. HA!!

In 1970 in my physics class in high school, we had a discussion on the "coming ice age". This was the popular theory at that time. The "inconvenient" truth is that the climate is going to keep changing, despite or in spite of whatever we do. 

The whole climate change freak show is a testimony to the arrogance and the stupidity of mankind. We are simply not all powerful. There are some things that we can not control. Putting six people on an electric moped is not going to save the planet. Get a life!!

On a Sunday morning sidewalk?

 No, I am not doing my Johnny Cash impression this morning. I don't sing because I can't stand to see people cry. I have never been asked to join a choir at any church that I have attended. Let's move on with other subjects.

Why are they calling the Olympics the 2020 Olympics? Isn't it 2021? I understand that the Olympics were supposed to be last year, but they didn't happen. If you have Taco Tuesday on Wednesday due to some equipment malfunction, is it still Taco Tuesday? Do you say TGIF on Saturday? For those of you who work Monday through Friday, can "hump day" be Thursday?  I realize that much of the marketing materials and the promotional merchandise had probably already been made with 2020 on them, but you could sell all of those as for the Olympics that never happened. There is always a market for merchandise with errors, ask any coin collector.  Or get out some markers and start making them read 2021. Does it really matter as there are no spectators there to buy the souvenir stuff anyway?

There are no spectators in the seats in the 2020  2021 Olympic games. Who are all of those athletes strutting around to impress? Do we need all of the celebrating to excite those at home who have fallen asleep in front of the television?

NBC is doing their best to make the Olympics look good. This despite the ratings dropping faster than Joe Biden's poll numbers among Americans who work.

I saw a video clip from this week of Rep. Jim Jordan waving some e-mails that he had obtained through a FOIA request. They were emails from Dr. Fauci and his communications with other health experts and they had been heavily redacted. What part of our national security interests is served by not releasing what a guy trying to use his post to destroy our freedoms and the economy wrote?

Along those lines, I will vote for the first presidential candidate who will shut down our plethora of spy agencies. What good is all of this intelligence to a guy with dementia?

I am fascinated that all of those folks who oppose Voter ID are supporters of "Vaccine Passports". 

Do you think that there are any Secret Service agents calling "Shotgun", when Joe Biden announces that he is taking an 18-wheeler for a spin?

What's the coincidence level of the COVID virus becoming a crisis again at the same time that Biden's poll numbers start tanking? COVID is bumping Biden's Communist "human infrastructure" bill off the news.

Let's go back to the old days in Congress. Let's actually write a bill and then debate it rather than debate it before it is written?

Looking for a laugh? Watch any video of Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana questioning a Biden nominee. Actually, any nominee. Kennedy is an equal opportunity entertainer.

Someone has suggested that Biden's press conferences be held in pet stores so that when he says "I want to sniff those puppies", there are actually dogs nearby.

In what may be a related issue, I offer this illustration.
