Saturday Morning Facts, Fashion, and Feedback

 All of the experts are describing Russia as "a third-rate military power". Yet we send our advanced military equipment to the Ukraine to keep the "third-rate military power" at bay. "Experts?" 

Biden claims that Russia cannot win the war. Hitler said that Russia could not win a war. Napoleon said that Russia could not win a war. Even the slow among you can see the common thread. The common thread is a series of egotistical, maniacal dictators all making the same claim. 

Ted Cruz said that "Democrats are in love with Zelensky."   He said that Ukrainian flags are like the masks during COVID. It is all about virtue signaling. I think that Democrats need to "virtue signal" with their personal funds not our government's money. 

Just to put the Democrats' love affair with Zelensky into perspective, this headline was the featured cover story of the Saturday Evening Post on August 1,1959. "Can Castro Save Cuba?" Does history repeat itself?

The British fought the Russians in the Crimean War. Heard of the Charge of the Light Brigade?  Some clothing names/terms came out of that war. Raglan, cardigan, and balaclava are the three that I know. The Victoria Cross medals in Great Britain are all made of bronze from Russian cannons captured in that war. That's all of your worthless fashion trivia for today.

More government "experts" are telling us that there are more than a thousand train derailments a year. How many auto accidents are there a year? How many tractor trailer accidents are there every year? How many pipeline leaks are there? The moral of this story about misdirection from government "experts" is, Figures don't lie, but liars can figure.

Neither Biden nor Zelensky reacted to the sounds of air raid sirens as they took their lover's walk in Kiev. Did they not hear the sirens? Did they just ignore them because they knew it was a hoax? Or were they so busy deciding on how much each would get as their cut of the aid money that they didn't hear the sirens?

In denying that he has failed to react to the East Palestine debacle, Biden claims that the railroad company has made tens of billions of dollars in profits lately. First, Biden's numbers are wrong. Second, why does a President of a nation known for free enterprise attack a business for making money? If they didn't make money, they wouldn't pay income taxes. He would have no federal revenue to squander in the Ukraine.  Just for the record, the afore mentioned dementia patient has spent his life slopping at the public trough. What business has he operated that produced a profit and employed thousands of Americans?

I started reading The American Spectator back during the Clinton years. I subscribe to their site and read it every day. They publish a quarterly print edition that I read and then send to fellow extremists. I also subscribe to the AM Spectator, an online newsletter that shows up in my email on weekdays. Daniel Flynn is the AM editor and does a good job. However, Flynn and many others at The Spectator are supporters of the Ukraine and our actions there. Flynn wrote an item last week about the Ukraine with which I disagreed on some points. I emailed him with my thoughts on the issue and was mildly surprised when he published them in the AM Spectator. My comments are below.

Letter: The Book of Lessons Never Learned

Daniel, 

The Biden White House kept his trip to the Ukraine a secret from the American public while disclosing his plans to the Russians. It’s obvious that the president thinks that his enemies are the American people. I guess that if you are sneaking out to give away another half-billion dollars that we don’t have, you do it in the dark of night. For the United States, the war in the Ukraine will be just another chapter in the book of lessons never learned.

Thanks,

Gilbert Jones
