Joe Biden is conducting a master class in failure management. He manages to fail at each and every thing he tries. In addition, sometimes it looks like God is making sure everyone knows. The latest example is the major storm dumping feet of snow and frigid temperatures all along the East Coast, something sure to be blamed on global warming. Few people, shoving mountains of snow will buy that. But perhaps the most visible example was that bridge collapse in Pittsburgh, just before a scheduled Biden visit.

Biden, of course, tried to seize the day and argue this is why his infrastructure bill was so vital. But this bridge wasn’t even on the list.

Pittsburgh bridge that collapsed wasn’t on list for infrastructure law funding | Fox Business

It sure seems like we are always paying extra taxes for some kind of infrastructure project, only to find that the money has been spent elsewhere, on things we did not want and did not need. The following twitter feed argues that funds were available to fix this bridge, but they were spent elsewhere. I have not been able to confirm this and the MSM certainly isn’t reporting this, but this seems, well, predictable.

It isn’t only the bridge that collapsed. Unfortunately, this administration is setting a new standard for failure. Now we have the incredible situation where the arrogant announcement by President Biden, that he would appoint a black female to be the next Supreme Court Justice, just backfired big time. A recent poll showed that an astonishing 75% of people think this is the wrong way to choose a Supreme Court Justice. If this was intended to stop or at least slow down the coming Republican wave, it is likely to only add fuel to the fire.

They often say that a team is in serious trouble when the coach has lost the locker room. That is when the people who have to play the game no longer trust the person in charge. That is a fundamental problem. Today a video was leaked showing a heated exchange between Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas and Border Patrol Agents. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz tried, and failed, to control the exchange.

The Border Patrol Chief has lost the locker room. The Biden Administration is perilously close to losing the country. When your fan base is reduced to the usual suspects on CNN, there is little left.

When this happens, losing is inevitable, but so is change. Sometimes the team that wins the championship is the team that stunk up the field the prior year. But that only happens when there is change, major change. From the period 1900 to 1990, no MLB team ever went from last to first. Since 1990 it has happened 13 times. There a lot more teams now but in most cases, it is because when a team reaches rock bottom, they have no choice but to start clawing their way back up. If the country has not hit the bottom now; it will be there before summer. The international situation(s) in Ukraine, Taiwan and North Korea are unlikely to end well. Gas prices will go up, supply shortages will get worse, the homeless problem will get worse, the crime problem will get worse, and COVID mismanagement is guaranteed.

Every time Joe Biden surfaces and attempts to read a TelePrompter speech or answer pre-staged questions, it gets worse. This is what happens when you start with a dumb, serial liar, and add in dementia. Not exactly a formula for success.

Change is already on the way. Ready or not, it is coming. The question is whether or not we have already gone a bridge too far.

Just when you thought the Biden administration had reached the lowest possible level of stupidity, they just started digging toward a whole new level. Few people remotely familiar with the pathetic record of Mayor Pete Buttigieg expected him to do much as Secretary of Transportation. His major contribution, up until now, was to ignore the nationwide supply shortage. Actually, having Buttigieg ignore something is the best approach to managing any problem because he is consistently wrong about everything.

Well, Buttigieg has a great new plan for you. He has produced a brilliant new program designed to totally eliminate traffic fatalities. Here is his plan, as reported by the AP:

Transportation Sec. Buttigieg unveils new strategy to combat rise in traffic fatalities | KTLA

Buttigieg said his department is embracing a new “safe system” approach urged by auto safety advocates to bolster initiatives, underway in several cities, that seek to eliminate fatalities by taking into account more than just driver behavior.

Over the next two years, he said, his department will provide guidance as well as $5 billion in grants to states to spur lower speed limits and embrace safer road design such as dedicated bike and bus lanes, better lighting and crosswalks. When roads become safer for bicyclists and pedestrians, that opens up transit options overall and can lead to fewer dangerous cars on the road, he said.

Money for the grants is included in President Joe Biden’s infrastructure law, which has an additional $4 billion in funding through the Highway Safety Improvement Program.

I don’t even need to comment on this, other than to point out that when the national speed limit went away, in 1995, there was no increase in fatalities. You can see this yourself in the data produced by the NHTA. So, if raising the speed limit did not increase fatalities, lowering the speed limit is not likely to reduce them.

810625 (dot.gov)

But there is hope. A recent study, authored by Dr. Fauci, demonstrates that people who wear face masks while driving a car with no other occupants, not only are less likely to catch COVID, but they also have far fewer fatal accidents. There is no data to support this, of course, but since we all know how well masks have worked to stop the spread of COVID, this must be true.

Justice Stephen Breyer may or may not have decided to retire. CNN is reporting that Justice Breyer will resign, but we have heard NOTHING directly from him. There has also been no announcement by the Supreme Court. This is highly unusual. It may be true, it probably is true, but the timing is really suspicious. One suspects that Justice Breyer has told someone that he is going to retire, and they leaked that information. But it seems unusual for a Justice to make this announcement at this time. Justice Kenney announced he would retire in on Wednesday, June 27, 2018. Supreme Court sessions start on the first Monday in October and continue until late June or early July. It would make more sense for a Justice to hold off any announcement until the end of the current term.

Regardless of how this happened, it is definitely based on politics. Immediately we are reminded that President Biden has promised to appoint a Black female to the Supreme Court. One recalls that he also promised to give us a Black female Vice President, and we got Kamala Harris. How’d that work out? If he nominates a Black female, at least some people will assume this was based solely on race and gender, rather than experience and performance. Actually, he has already admitted that. This does not mean the candidate will not be qualified, it just means race and gender were the first criteria. Perhaps this is just me, but this seems rather insulting to Black female judges. I certainly would be insulted if someone said they chose me for a position because they needed an older white male. In fact, I would almost certainly reject such an offer.

This certainly has changed the news cycle from possible war with Russia over Ukraine, a collapsing economy and an administration stumbling toward the bottom. Perhaps someone thought it would help to change the subject. But this could easily backfire. Most people, other than Democrats in Congress and reporters on CNN want a judge to make decisions based on the law, not political correctness. Every poll shows that. So, at a time when people are already sick and tired of this congress and this new issue is likely to energize Republicans even more. In addition, nothing will change regarding Supreme Court decisions. There will still be a six conservative Justices to three liberal Justices. Replacing Breyer with another liberal will not affect balance in the court and is unlikely to have an impact on any Supreme Court decisions. He already votes the straight hard left position on every case.

This may change something else. It may change the attitude of Justice Breyer. Because of this unfortunate leak, all the attention will be on Breyer’s replacement and not on him. That is highly likely to make him incredibly angry. Rather than leaving with his head held high, praised by both parties, this sure looks like Democrats kicking him on the way out.

There has been some speculation, mostly in jest by Fox News, that Biden will nominate Kamala Harris to the Supreme Court. This would, in theory, get rid of a Vice President who is tanking in the polls, and allow Biden to choose a new Vice President. Then, the theory goes, the cabinet could invoke the 25^th Amendment, remove Joe and put in someone actually capable. This is nonsense and very unlikely to happen. It would be the worst conceivable way to choose a Supreme Court Justice. The absolute insanity of doing this is the only reason someone like Joe Biden might consider it.

If this was leaked, to change the news cycle, it is beyond desperate and extremely unlikely to work. If Russia invades Ukraine, which seems increasingly possible, few will focus on a coming Supreme Court nomination. In addition, people will be more focused on the prohibitive cost of gas, the gross mismanagement of COVID, rising crime, rising inflation, higher taxes, and empty shelves. Here is California, someone came up with the brilliant idea of taxing solar panels, since only rich people bought them using money they saved on taxes. They are also proposing taxing electric cars, for the same reason, at the same time they are pressing people to buy more electric cars. This is what happens when you put people only capable of circular reasoning in power.

In the meantime, while the Supreme Court will be deciding on some of the most important cases in decades, Democrats will be promoting a Breyers Market showcasing the Black female most likely to be his replacement, angering the only man in a position to influence at least some of these cases. Nice!

For years, perhaps decades, the MSM and the Democratic Party has tried, and failed to float an unsustainable ship filled with lies, distortions and hoaxes. One of the first things to be exposed was the hoax about Donald Trump colluding with Russia. We now know that it was Hillary Clinton who was colluding with Russia to promote that nonsense. Sadly, far too many people who should know better, bought this lock, stock, and barrel. Not only has that hoax been totally discredited, but some people may also just go to jail for telling outrageous lies to promote it in the first place.

Then there was the COVID is a life-threatening disease hoax. The result was that governments all over the world resorted to ridiculous tactics, which did not work, but did manage to destroy economies. COVID is real and it does kill some people, but there are a lot of other things that kill people. But many people were desperate to terrify you about COVID, so they flat out lied and misrepresented things. They even stooped so low as to discourage people from using drugs like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, even though both drugs have been used safely for years and there were and are a mountain of studies showing that these may actually be lifesavers. Instead, focus was on a vaccine, only availably because of Donald Trump, and which has now reached the point where, for some people, the vaccine may present more risk than the disease itself. You can see this for yourself. As of today, there have been 354,956,417 confirmed cases of COVID and 5,604,936 deaths. That is a death rate of 1.5%. In addition, this is almost certainly overstated, because the death statistics do not distinguish between dying from COVID and dying with COVID.

Then there was the myth that Donald Trump was dividing us with his mean tweets. That he was mismanaging COVID. That Joe Biden would restore “normal” and “competence” to the Oval Office and would unite us. Instead, it is increasingly obvious that this far from normal and there is no hint of competence. But he has managed to unite us, almost everyone thinks he is the wrong man for the job.

But perhaps the biggest hoax was climate change. The ridiculous theory that the amount of CO2 in the air was threatening humanity. Most people don’t know that CO2 is at 442 parts per million. If you do the math, that is .0442% of our atmosphere. That is a trace amount. It is increasing, but it is still a trace amount. In addition, there are no studies showing that increased CO2 in atmosphere increases global temperature. There are certainly a whole bunch of other things that are more important. Some real scientists are more worried about global cooling. Global cooling, unlike global warming, actually does kill people.

The climate change, global warming, crowd is terrified about rising sea levels. For example, there was this huge ice shelf in Antarctica, melting, which would break off, melt rapidly, and cause a dramatic rise in sea levels, right? Well folks that ice shelf was real, and it did break off from Antarctica, in 2017. It was huge, more than 100 miles long and 30 miles wide. By 2020 it has traveled over 1,000 miles and the island of South Georgia was in deadly peril. Except that while the iceberg has traveled that far, South Georgia is safe. Because it did what all icebergs do, it broke up into smaller pieces about 100 miles from South Georgia. Well glory be, now we know that this melting iceberg, thought to threaten humanity and kill fish, didn’t even impact global sea level. The reason should have been obvious, it was “because it was already melting, idiot, which is why it broke off from Antarctica in the first place.” DUH!

An Extraordinary Iceberg Is Gone, but Not Forgotten (msn.com)

“The researchers, whose findings were published in the journal Remote Sensing of Environment, estimated that melting in the vicinity of South Georgia resulted in the release of about 150 billion tons of fresh water. That’s enough to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool 61 million times over, the researchers said, although because the ice was already floating its melting did not contribute to sea-level rise.”

For another thing, this iceberg was not exactly man made, and for the record, Antarctica is getting COLDER, not warmer. There was almost certainly more impact on global climate by that Volcanic eruption in Tonga recently than by CO2.

The only way to describe this is as a ship, load with lies and unsupportable hoaxes that just hit an iceberg and is sinking rapidly. The only remaining question is when, if ever, CNN will notice.

We just got back from a cruise on the Majestic Princess traveling from San Pedro (Los Angeles) to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán, and Cabo San Lucas. We had a wonderful time, but there was one thing that was strange. While at sea, the first day, we were told to set our clocks ahead one hour, to adjust to “ship time.” Now this was convenient, for the ship, but seldom consistent with the time zone in which we were actually traveling or sometimes the time zone on shore. Then on the way back to San Pedro, the captain asked us to change it back to California time. Right now, it is 8:02 am in California. In Puerto Vallarta it is 10:02 am. In Mazatlán and Cabo San Lucas, it is 9:02 am. So, the Captain chose to change the clocks only once, regardless of the actual time zone. This worked fine on a cruise ship, but it also meant that for much of the trip, ship time was inconsistent with the time zone for the actual geographical location. I am not complaining, just explaining. It did drive us nuts trying to get our Apple Watches to show the right time.

Joe Biden gave us another example of daylight savings time. But this time, with a whole new meaning. There has been tremendous pressure on Biden to hold a real press conference. During the entire campaign and for most of his Presidency, he has been sheltered from the media and any tough questions. His few press appearances were largely staged, where he read off a Teleprompter, poorly, then if he answered any questions at all, they were from carefully selected reporters, with predetermined questions and rehearsed answers. He didn’t even do well during these events, but it was a lot better than what we saw during his full press conference.

While it is easy to cherry pick this and find occasions where Joe Biden appears to have gotten lost or where he gave confusing answers, that was not the biggest problem. The real problem is that many people got to see the real Joe Biden, without the filters, and few were impressed. His comments regarding Russia and Ukraine were so bad the White House has spent the last couple of days trying, and failing, to do damage control. The more they try to explain, the worse it gets.

People saw a Joe Biden who is not only not very impressive, but he is also a bitter and angry man with a delusional view of the real world. He literally cannot grasp the obvious fact that people are rejecting his policies. He cannot understand that the skyrocketing price of gas affects all of us, that inflation is real, and that the only thing we know for sure about COVID is that it has been grossly mismanaged. Nothing they have done has worked. We have all these people vaccinated, we destroyed our economy, we are paying people to stay home, we are forcing people to wear masks and forcing people to get a vaccine, which some of them feel is dangerous and others feel, for them, it is unnecessary. The latter group was right, by the way, the CDC reluctantly admitted that people who have had COVID and recovered have more protection from natural immunity than available from any vaccine. But most important he feels the need to demonize anyone who dares disagree with him.

Most people don’t realize that Bill Clinton had a worse first year in office than Biden. It was Bill Clinton’s performance that resulted in Newt Gingrich and the contract with America. But Bill Clinton, for all his faults, is not stupid. He realized that people were rejecting his policies, so he changed. As a result, he managed to stay in office for another seven years and by collaborating with Republicans rather than demonizing them, he managed to take credit for things actually done in spite of him.

But Joe Biden is not smart. He is not capable of learning from his mistakes. He is not even capable of recognizing mistakes which results in total incompetence. Harvard Business School did a study that showed that one fundamental problem is that “most incompetent people don’t realize they are incompetent, which is why they are incompetent in the first place.” Many of us have dealt with this personally, reporting to someone who is incompetent and who does not realize they are incompetent. It is difficult, if not impossible, for this situation to end well. After this “performance” a whole lot of people have been confronted with the reality of Joe Biden’s incompetence. Even the MSM, which loves some of his socialist ideas, has started to turn on him. They realize that their socialist dreams are going down the drain with him. Most of all, they realize he is hopelessly incompetent.

They often say it is darkest just before dawn. I think that is true today. For a long time, people were in the dark about the real Joe Biden. The MSM covered up for him and fawned over him and his staff was able to keep him under wraps most of the time, hiding the reality of this human disaster. But the darkest night is always followed by a new dawn. Joe Biden gave a press conference, primarily because he had no choice. He, predictably, botched it. But he also put himself in the direct sunlight where he was exposed for the entire world to see the reality of the real Joe Biden. The first step to solving any problem is understanding that there is a problem and to start working on a solution. We have now reached that point. Everyone knows that change is necessary. I call it “Daylight Savings Time.” There is a bright new dawn already on the way.

My grandfather used to love Friday night fights. So did a lot of other people during the 1960s. Watching boxing on TV was a really big deal.

I will never forget watching Emile Griffith fight Benny “Kid” Paret. This happened on a Saturday, March 24, 1962. It was broadcast as the ABC Fight of the Week.” Benny “Kid” Paret was the reigning Welterweight champion. This was actually the third fight between these two. Griffith won the first match; Paret won the second and this was the rubber match. This took place in Madison Square Garden. The fight lasted 12 rounds and even that round started out slow. Then Griffith his Paret with a solid punch, backed him into a corner and started pounding him. It was later determined that Paret was hit with 29 unanswered blows. Paret, who was still standing, slowly slid to the floor, and collapsed. Actually, his trainers basically pulled him down to the floor. At first, all the attention was on Emile Griffith celebrating winning the world championship. Then it started to become obvious that Paret was seriously injured. He was carried from the ring on a stretcher, and he died 10 days later.

This all happened in just a few seconds. While some argued that the referee should have stopped the fight sooner, if you watch this on video, not in slow motion, the speed at which this happened is amazing. The referee did stop the fight, but it was too late to save Benny Kid Paret. Now, of course, we realize the cumulative trauma that many of these boxers experienced as the result of being hit in the head so many times. Ultimately, as a result of this and other incidents, people stopped watching boxing matches

When Davey Moore died after a fight with Sugar Ramos in March 1963 the end was near. By December 1963 ABC announced that it was cancelling the “Fight of the Week.”  The last of the Friday Night Fights was September 11, 1964, when Nigerian middleweight Dick Tiger defeated Don Fulmer.

This is a reminder of how quickly things can change. Prior to the death of Benny “Kid” Paret it was hard to imagine something as popular as boxing almost disappear. But that is exactly what happened, and it only took a couple of seconds. Today there are increasing signs that Joe Biden has taken a few too many punches and he is down for the count. Even the MSM media parasites that worked so hard to defeat Donald Trump and put Biden in office have had enough. They have turned on him with a speed that is astonishing. Although they still coverup the obvious signs of dementia and they still downplay his serial lying, his performance is too bad to ignore. His speech calling Republicans racists for demanding fair and honest elections was a bridge too far. The man who promised to unite us has instead divided us even further.

In the 1960s, the solution was pretty easy. They just stopped broadcasting boxing matches and significant steps were taken to make the sport safer. But the Biden dilemma is far more challenging because there is no visible means to fix this. If Biden were removed from office today, his replacement would be Kamala Harris, who is decidedly worse. If both were replaced, we would get Nancy Pelosi, which would make both of them look good in comparison.

We are now at the point where change is inevitable. Even the MSM wants change. Unless something intervenes, Republicans will run the table in 2022. That will matter more than you can imagine. Democrats promoted a hoax to investigate Trump. Then they tried to impeach him over a phone call with Ukraine that they couldn’t even begin to define as a crime. Finally, they tried to impeach him again, with 24 hours left in office. This set a new, extremely low standard for a congress to directly challenge a President. It is hard to imagine Republicans ignoring this opportunity.

The only thing certain is that Joe Biden is down for the count. The only thing certain is change. Unprecedented change.

For the past year Democrats and their fawning supporters in the MSM have been trying, and failing, to convince people that January 6^th, 2021, was a failed attempt at overthrowing our government led by Donald Trump. VP President Kamala Harris compared this to the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor and the September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center. That is patently absurd. Other than the usual suspect talking heads on TV I don’t know of anyone who is even talking about this, including a lot of liberal friends.

Here is what Joe Biden said today:

Madam Vice President, my fellow Americans: To state the obvious, one year ago today, in this sacred place, democracy was attacked — simply attacked. The will of the people was under assault. The Constitution — our Constitution — faced the gravest of threats.

Outnumbered and in the face of a brutal attack, the Capitol Police, the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, the National Guard, and other brave law enforcement officials saved the rule of law.

Our democracy held. We the people endured. And we the people prevailed.

Just a wee bit of exaggeration here. Then, after lecturing us about the need to tell the truth, Biden lied.

The Bible tells us that we shall know the truth, and the truth shall make us free. We shall know the truth.

Well, here is the God’s truth about January 6th, 2021:

The he looked right into the camera and lied.

For the first time in our history, a president had not just lost an election, he tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob breached the Capitol.

We saw it with our own eyes. Rioters menaced these halls, threatening the life of the Speaker of the House, literally erecting gallows to hang the Vice President of the United States of America.

But what did we not see?

We didn’t see a former president, who had just rallied the mob to attack — sitting in the private dining room off the Oval Office in the White House, watching it all on television and doing nothing for hours as police were assaulted, lives at risk, and the nation’s capital under siege.

A riot was declared at 1:50 pm. Trump responded at 2:30 pm

At 2:38 Trump tweeted: “Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!”

At 3:13 Trump tweeted: “I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”

At 4:17 Trump uploads a video to this twitter account saying the following:

“I know your pain, I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt. It’s a very tough period of time. There’s never been a time like this where such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us — from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election, but we can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You’re very special. You’ve seen what happens. You see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel, but go home, and go home in peace.”

At 6:01 Trump tweets: “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!”

One may argue that Trump should have done more, but what Joe Biden said is a lie. A lie told on national television. A lie that is easily discredited. Wise people do not believe people who deliberately lie, particularly about something so material and so well documented. But then, Joe Biden is already famous for this.

He also lied when he said:  “Rioters menaced these halls, threatening the life of the Speaker of the House, literally erecting gallows to hang the Vice President of the United States of America.”

There was a “makeshift” gallows erected, but no one in their right mind could possibly view this as a serious attempt to hang Mike Pence. But then Joe Biden said this, so there you are. Black Lives Matters protestors did put a Donald Trump effigy in a guillotine outside of the White House in August 2020. If Joe Biden noticed, it didn’t consider it important.

I believe Democrats have made a huge mistake. By exaggerating what actually happened on January 6^th, 2021, they have made it impossible to ignore the true significant of this event. The more we learn about this and the events that led up to it, the more obvious it will be who is lying. The more obvious it will be who is the real threat to democracy and the more likely people will become united in demanding this be fixed.

Let’s do have a real discussion regarding what happened on January 6^th, 2021. It is about time.

2022 is going to be an interesting year. It is already starting out bad, with COVID soaring, gas prices soaring, empty shelves and higher prices. But wait, there is more. We had a snowstorm in Northern California, which is actually quite predictable. But this took down powerlines and there are people who have been out of power for days if not weeks. They are not happy. In Virginia, there was a snowstorm that resulted in people trapped in their cars for hours. The Governor, outgoing Democrat Northam, said they should have paid attention and stayed home. That is not playing well anywhere. U.S. Senator Kane was trapped in his car, for 27 hours. While trapped in their cars, those with radios could have heard Kamala Harris giggling about how Build Back Better has America moving again. It is increasingly harder to blame snowstorms and freezing weather on global warming.

The CDC just admitted that the current tests cannot distinguish between COVID and the flu. There are hundreds, no thousands, no millions of people who have no symptoms in long lines waiting to receive a test, which doesn’t actually work, to see if they are sick. This is very unlikely to end well.

Here is Northern California gas is already north of $4.00 and surging. Some gas stations have signs showing prices north of $5.00. Ground beef, at Walmart, costs $4.43 per pound, for 80% lean, if you can find it. It doesn’t appear to be available in stores. At Safeway, you can buy a pound of ground beef, 85% lean, discounted from $9.49 per pound to $7.99 per pound. If you buy about five pounds you can save money at Sam’s Club. Everyone, but Joe Biden, knows that this is problem. The only question regarding inflation is “how much higher?”

Crime is surging everywhere, because of defund the police policies and idiotic decisions to stop charging people for shoplifting and, incredibly, to stop charging people for resisting arrest. Everyone who voted for this nonsense should be sentenced to watch 5 hours of COPS to see how this works in real life.

The only store doing well in Hollywood is the single store selling guns. It turns out even white liberals are buying guns. Other people are buying guns too, like the government in Canada that is trying to buy back ARM 15 type guns. There is just a minor problem, few people are selling, and a few are saying: “go ahead, try and get it.” This is obviously not good news to anyone other than reporters on CNN like Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper.

Donald Trump wisely cancelled his news conference for January 6^th. Joe Biden is going to speak to the nation telling everyone about the insurrection and the greatest threat to Democracy since the Civil War. Does anyone really expect him to knock this out of the park? This is more likely to end up like the Congressional Baseball game where he described coming close to hitting a ball out of the park, which would have been more believable if he had actually played.

He has problems. One is that he lies so much few people believe anything he says anymore. Another is that the actual facts do not support his case. He is horrible at reading a script and cannot even pretend to answer a question coherently. He is far more likely to make the case against the insurrection than anything Donald Trump could do or say. Trump now has an event scheduled for the 15^th. All he needs do is play a video of Joe Biden and then laugh and ask if anyone is taking this seriously. Mary Hamm taught us that the best way to respond to a joke is to laugh.

In the meantime, since the CDC admitted it can’t tell the difference between COVID and the flu, it decided to just find a new variant that is, conveniently, a combination of the two. Since they are unwilling to ever admit error, they are planning to scare everyone by replacing COVID with the flu. The only way to describe this is “FLUEY.”

2021 was a horrible very bad year. Everyone agrees with that. The only question is who to blame. The finger pointing is already underway. Democrats are in charge, so they will get most of the blame and they appear to be doubling down on disaster. Good luck with that.

For example, there was a major snowstorm in Virginia. People were trapped on I-95 for hours. That included Democratic Senator Tim Kaine. Everyone involved was furious. They shrieked about how this shows a total lack of leadership. The new Republican Governor, Glen Youngkin absolutely failed his first leadership test. He should have called out the national guard or done “something.” Oops. Glen Youngkin is not the Governor of Virginia. That would be Democratic Governor Ralph Northam. Glen Youngkin does not become governor until January 15^th, 2022. Nice!

Then there was AOC who got caught partying, in Florida, without a mask. She immediately fought back by saying this was because she was so hot, Republicans wanted to date her. This was literally insane. Many people realized that AOC is not actually that bright and she has a lot of really dumb ideas. But perhaps a couple of extra margaritas convinced AOC she should write her own tweets proving this beyond all doubt.

Mary Katherine Ham, who actually is smart, shut her down so badly that even the CNN hosts were cracking up.

WATCH: Mary Katharine Ham Mercilessly Mocks AOC For Claiming Republicans Just Want To Date Her | The Daily Wire

First, what AOC stupidly wrote:

“If Republicans are mad they can’t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet. Ya creepy weirdos,” 

 “It’s starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women, & LGBT+ people in general. These people clearly need therapy, won’t do it, and use politics as their outlet instead. It’s really weird.”

Mary Ham knocked it out of the park with the following:

“First of all, I woke up like this. So I have authority on people being sexually frustrated by my mere existence,” 

“I’m glad to be able to discuss this with you. The plight of the super hot in America has long been ignored. AOC has started a national conversation about this. You know, I know we have all dealt with it … You know, we can start an organization or something.”

The mental decline of Joe Biden is becoming increasingly obvious. The following link is to the virtual meeting Biden had with Ranchers and Farmers yesterday.

President Biden Holds Virtual Meeting with Ranchers and Farmers | C-SPAN.org

He walks into an empty room, wearing a mask, with the only other people in the room, several feet away, also wearing masks. He tries to claim that his administration has done a wonderful job in changing the direction of the economy. He looks awful and when he has to answer questions, at the end, he looks lost and confused. There was a desperate attempt to cover this up, with Biden reading from a script and other people doing all of the talking. Then, as soon as there was the hint of a real question, the meeting was cut short, and everyone was promptly escorted out. The problem is the problem is beyond obvious.

The January 6^th, 2021, commission has an impossible mission. It’s goal is to prove that there were no possible issues regarding the legitimacy of the 2020 election and that January 6th, 2021 was the equivalent of the battle at Gettysburg.  If you check the polls, fewer and fewer people are buying that nonsense. The more we learn about January 6^th, 2021, the more obvious it will be regarding who is and is not lying about almost everything.

2022 will be a long year, but multiple things have reached the boiling point and change is already on the way. This is impossible to predict, but one thing is sure. Lies will be exposed, including the myth of deadly peril from global warming. None of the predictions by the climate change alarmists have come close to being true. I cannot predict the weather but can easily predict who is most likely to be wrong. For example, people trapped in a snowstorm in Virginia are not thinking about how great it would be to be driving an electric vehicle designed to stop global warming.

This will be a leap year. Where we leap over the smothering ashes of what used to be known as the Democratic Party. Enjoy the ride, this is going to be fun to watch.

You can’t make this up.

https://www.cdc.gov/csels/dls/locs/2021/07-21-2021-lab-alert-Changes_CDC_RT-PCR_SARS-CoV-2_Testing_1.html

“After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only. CDC is providing this advance notice for clinical laboratories to have adequate time to select and implement one of the many FDA-authorized alternatives.

In preparation for this change, CDC recommends clinical laboratories and testing sites that have been using the CDC 2019-nCoV RT-PCR assay select and begin their transition to another FDA-authorized COVID-19 test. CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season. Laboratories and testing sites should validate and verify their selected assay within their facility before beginning clinical testing.”

This means the PCR test, which so many people have been required to take, cannot distinguish between COVID and the flu. The CDC just admitted that. That sure explains why the flu suddenly disappeared when COVID hit. It also raises serious red flags regarding who is providing misinformation. All of us have been inundated with the daily drumbeat of new COVID cases reminding us of why this is so very serious. Now we learn that the CDC does not trust the PCR test, which means NONE of the data being reported on the MSM and by the CDC can be trusted. The truth is we don’t even know how many people actually had COVID and we certainly don’t know how many of the 800,000 COVID deaths were actually caused by COVID. We already know that many of them were cases where people died “with COVID” but not necessarily “from COVID.” Now we learn that we aren’t even sure they had COVID at all. I suspect even the MSM is going to be shocked when they realize the extent of deliberately misleading information used to justify extreme measures that clearly did not work. They MSM has proven itself to be incredibly naïve, but this is insane.

So, while COVID is all too real, the reporting by the CDC has been very unreal.

It gets worse. Yesterday, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said testing at the end of quarantine is no longer needed because PCR test can stay positive for up to 12 weeks.

The newly updated CDC guidelines don’t require testing at the end of isolation because PCR tests can stay positive for up to 12 weeks, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told “Good Morning America” on Wednesday.

So, weeks after you had COVID, and recovered, and represent no risk to anyone, you can still test positive on a PCR test. Isn’t that special!

The alternative to a PCR test is an antigen test. Well, it turns out the PCR test is significantly more reliable than the antigen test. Wow!

COVID-19 PCR vs. Antigen Test – Which Is Better? (safeworklaboratories.com.au)

“RT-PCR tests are the most reliable of diagnostic tests available, with at least 94% peak accuracy. Unlike antigen tests, PCR tests can detect the coronavirus even at low viral loads and at nearly any stage of the infection.”

It is now official. Those people who have been arrogantly lecturing us and micro-managing our lives for nearly two years, by following the science, were themselves ignoring the science. Incredibly we are at a point where we just may know less about COVID today than we did in March of 2020. The only thing we know for certain is that the people who demanded we trust them have proven themselves unworthy of that trust.

Combine that with wholesale testing of people who don’t have symptoms, with a test known to be faulty, and firing them if they don’t comply and this is a perfect storm. Just when you thought things could not possibly get worse, they got worse.
