Random Rants on the News

 Early Wednesday morning and I am afraid to turn on the news since Biden is in Lithuania for a NATO summit. After a tough day of talking, Biden skipped the dinner last night to rest. From what? Did he leave his energy drugs at home? Why kick a dead horse? Let's move on to other topics.

I have decided that there are a couple of ways that I would support Biden's plan to forgive student loans debts. The first is that they also have to forgive home mortgages and car loans. Since they are not likely to do that, let's move on to the second option. I think that to get your college loan forgiven, you have to surrender your right to vote for the same term as your loan payment plan was. If you had a ten-year loan payment plan, you give up your right to vote in ANY election for the ten years. If you don't have a set term, you just give up your right to vote forever.

What will this do? First and foremost, this action will "codify" that you are actually selling your vote in exchange for loan forgiveness. I selected "codify" because it's a hot word now. Liberals all rave about "codifying" this extreme idea or that ludicrous idea. I just want it in language that leftists use. This also ends any discussion about why potential voters would support this. It's an open and close case, you are selling your vote. Second, this will confirm that "There ain't no free lunch!!" If you want something, there has to be an exchange of value. You have to give something to get something. Your "Sugar Daddy" is dead. By now, even the slow among you can grasp this concept.

The second benefit is that it will take millions of deadbeats off the voter registration rolls. This idea will not be supported by either political party because it strikes at the heart of today's American political system. Yes, I am talking about "Free Shit"!! Politics in America has lost all credibility as it has become a race to see who can give away the most "free shit" to voters. We give tax refunds to people who don't pay taxes. We give incentives to people who come here illegally, while spending billions on "Homeland Security". Now we want to give free college to people who didn't learn anything worth using in life. Speaking for taxpayers everywhere, let's at least get the leeches off the voter registration rolls.

I am pretty sure that my proposal for student loan debt will not pass in Congress. So, let's move on to some other issues. In New York City, a gunman on a scooter dressed all in black, shot four people on Tuesday. Last week, another scooter mounted shooter, killed one person and wounded three others. Why aren't they calling for a ban on scooters in New York? Is there a waiting period before getting a scooter? Are scooters the problem or the people riding them?

In Washington, Gen. C.Q. Brown, Biden's nominee to head up the Joint Chiefs of Staff is claiming that Sen. Tuberville's hold on promotions will have a long-term negative effect on the military. Gen. Brown boasts that he "hires for diversity". Will hiring for "diversity" and not "competence" have a long-term negative effect on the military? The Department of Defense can solve this entire problem easily by changing their policy on paying travel costs for people to get abortions. 

Traditionally, military bases have followed the state laws where they are located. But with the sacred "right to abortion", they are providing access by paying for a person to travel to another state. The stupidity of this is easy enough to show. If a military base is located in a state where marijuana is not legal, will they pay travel costs to go to another state to buy and/or use marijuana? 

The Major League Baseball All-Star game was played last night. Of course, I did not watch. Seattle spent the last several days cleaning up the homeless camps that were in the vicinity of the ballpark. I guess that they didn't want the television cameras focusing on the squalor of one of the most liberal cities in the nation. What's the hypocrisy level in cleaning that up for prime-time national television, but leaving it for residents to deal with the rest of the year?

There is an incredible level of irony in the government that has focused so much time, money, and energy on an investigation of the Jan 6 disturbance seems to not at all be interested in who brought cocaine into the White House? If only a "shaman" had delivered the cocaine?
