Cheaper than a Sidewinder?

 In the news this morning, yesterday a Newsmax reporter asked the President's chief liar and mindless lesbian Karine Jean-Pierre, "Is the President woke?"  He is being ridiculed for the question. One might as well ask "Is the Pope Catholic?" Of course, there are Catholics who consider that a legitimate question.

Maybe the reporter just used the wrong tense. Could he have just intended to ask, "Is the President awake?"  

Later, Karine Jean-Pierre described the President as "our best communicator". My God, what does the worst communicator sound like? I am assuming that the only choices were the guy with dementia and the lesbian who can't read her binder.

Political commentators and Democrats are all still ridiculing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for the fur-trimmed coat she wore at the State of the Union address. They are ridiculing her because she is a Republican woman from Georgia. If she were a gay, Democratic male from California, they would all be asking where she bought the coat.

Biden launched into another tirade about "assault weapons" after the Michigan State shootings. The fact that the guns used don't fit into the imaginary "assault weapons" category did not deter the Demented One from his rant. Memo to Dims: If your liberal prosecutors and judges don't enforce the laws, these problems will continue. More laws that you will not enforce will not work. This crime was committed by a "person of color" with a criminal record and mental health issues. He doesn't fit the stereotype liberals are blaming for gun crimes. In a couple of weeks, maybe less, you won't be able to find a story in the media about this shooting.

Good businesses are always open to new marketing opportunities as they arise. This morning I received an e-mail with the subject line, "Get Your Balloon-Popping AR/AK Pistols Now!". It's got to be cheaper than shooting them with Sidewinder missiles.

Speaking of Sidewinder missiles, in the latest balloon popping over Lake Huron, we sent an F-16 to handle the task. The first Sidewinder fired missed the target and dropped into the lake. The second hit the target. I don't want to sound frugal about the cost of protecting our nation from Party balloons, but Sidewinders average a cost of around $450,000 each. The cost of the missiles plus the cost of operating the airplane for this mission is probably a little over a million dollars. The F-16 carries a 20mm Gatling gun and 500 rounds. I would think that a quick burst from the Gatling gun would take down any balloon at a much lower cost. Just a suggestion from a concerned taxpayer.
