Saturday Morning Confusion (with apologies to Bobby Russell)

 The New York Times only took a year and a half to admit that the Hunter Biden laptop indeed exists. The other mainstream liars such as NBC, CBS, NPR, PBS, MSNBC and others are strangely quiet about the whole subject. Confession is good for the soul?

The US House of Representatives has passed the CROWN Act to "fight" discrimination due to hair styles worn by black people. The CROWN Act overlooks things like safety regulations and health codes. It's all about catering to the people who vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.

The next bit of progressive legislation is the SAG act. This prohibits businesses and schools from disciplining employees and students who are wearing their pants with the waistband at their knees. Proponents of the bill claim that it will save time and increase productivity because those people with sagging pants will spend less time in the restroom since their pants are already down when they walk in the restroom door. Look for the House to pass the "Shit and Git" bill in the next month. It makes as much sense as permanent Daylight Saving Time.

Why do the Democrats cater to black voters? Because while blacks are only about 17% of the population, they vote Democrat at more than a 90% rate. They are the swing votes in many elections. If they divided their votes between the two parties like other ethnic groups do, there wouldn't be enough Democrats in the Senate to form a quartet. Black voters have the Democrats by the balls, and everyone knows it. 

Why are extreme conservatives called "far right wing extremists" but extreme liberals are called "progressives"? Maybe Congress should look into this obvious case of discrimination in our media which purports to be unbiased.. 

There is a war raging in the Ukraine, the leftist "profits" are screaming that the world is about to end, and inflation is destroying everyone's financial situation. So the media is focused on an annual college basketball tournament and the gambling associated with it. The Seante is focused on Daylight Saving Time and the House is laser focused on black hair styles. Am I the only one who thinks that this is mre than a little crazy?

Justin Moore, the pocket cowboy, made the news the other day. He was asked about how country music awards shows could increase their viewership. He responded by saying that they need to put more country music singers on country music awards shows. Memo to the ACM awards show and the CMA awards show, nobody's watching a country music awards show to see rappers, rockers, or Lady Gaga. They want to see "country music" singers. They need to stop trying to cram "diversity" and "inclusion" down the viewers throats. This is not the place for that effort. Let's be honest, nobody sees Justin Moore performing on a rap awards show or a soul awards show. Several years ago, on their fiftieth anniversary show, the CMA featured a performance by the Dixie Chicks with Beyonce. Beyonce, really?  In the middle of it, Alan Jackson got up from his front row seat and walked out. Apparently, no one in the CMA paid attention. 

Hunter Biden? Where to even start? Jen Psaki keeps telling reporters that he is a private citizen, and she will not comment on anything about him. Jen has no problem talking about members of the Trump family. Aren't they private citizens? 

Is Biden going to "sanction" China if they do business with Russia? Go to Wal-Mart and see where everything is made. You won't need a store that size if we stop buying goods from China.  You can't restart American industry with the government paying people to stay home. Something has to give. 

"Those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it." Biden can't remember what he had for breakfast, much less what happened 45 years ago. 

Somewhere in my enormous collection of "stuff", I have a "WIN" button from the 1970's. That was President Ford's 1974 anti-inflation campaign, Whip Inflation Now. They had buttons and banners. It didn't work.  Nixon had tried wage and price controls before Ford rolled out the buttons. I couldn't get a raise for several months at the Waffle House, On the subject of wage and price controls, put me down as "not a believer".  That "WIN"   button and a copy of a home mortgage at a rate of 16% are my only lasting souvenirs of the last inflation rampage. That era of inflation lasted several years into the early 1980's. Presidential administrations are "transitory", inflation will be here for a while.
