Jill Biden gave a speech before a Brad Paisley show. This was incredibly stupid, because country music fans are not exactly disciples of the progressive policies shoved down our throats by the Biden misadministration. Jill met with Brad Paisley and his wife at a pop-up vaccination clinic. There were only a handful of people there. She then went next door and talked to the crowd waiting for Brad Paisley to perform. She promptly put down Tennessee as lagging far behind in getting vaccines. The crowd booed, noticeably. Everyone agrees with that. But the MSM says the crowd was booing themselves. Right!  Country Music fans are famous for booing themselves. They were booing this arrogant self-righteous woman demanding they all get vaccinated, or else.

Once, again, this is a classic example of demanding people follow the science, without regard to the actual science. My wife and I have been vaccinated. At our age, that makes sense. The older you get the more danger from getting COVID 19. In addition, if serious side effects show up 20 years from now, you can tell us about it standing over our graves. But I know many people, much younger, who don’t want the vaccine. I also know many people, much younger, who caught COVID 19. The ones who caught it are all fine with no lingering aftereffects. One of them suffered from a diminished ability to taste things that lasted about three weeks. The others were sick almost all afternoon. Numerous studies show that school age children have little risk from COVID 19, and they have little risk of spreading it. But facts don’t matter because the same science that demanded social distancing, which did not work, and wearing filthy non-medical masks, which did not work, are now demanding that people who don’t need a vaccine take it whether they want it or not. For many people, the answer is not, and they are not necessarily stupid, selfish, or ignorant. They don’t want the vaccine, that has not been approved for other than emergency use by the FDA because to them the risk is not worth the potential benefit. History teaches us that it sometimes takes years before we know the full side effects of vaccines. For younger people, that is a legitimate concern.

They also ignored something that should be obvious. As of today, there have been 33,665,482 people who were confirmed to have COVID 19. In addition, at least 177,342,954 people have received at least one vaccine shot and 150,046,005 people have been fully vaccinated. Now do some simple math to point out the obvious. First, the people who give these statistics suck at math. This is because they claim 177,342,954 people is 54% of the population while 150,045,005 is 46% of the population. Both can’t be right because that would put the total population at either 328,412,878 and 326,186,967. It sure looks like another “scientific method” of moving the goal posts whenever one gets near the target. In addition, you need to add the number of people who tested positive to the number vaccinated, because they are also immune from COVID 19. In fact, they are probably more immune that those who just had the vaccine.

But more important, is who has been vaccinated. Almost everyone I know, with a couple of notable exceptions, who is over age 60 has been vaccinated. That means the people most vulnerable have already been vaccinated. Certainly, most people over age 60 who want to be vaccinated have been vaccinated.

If people who are not vaccinated and are not at high risk, get COVID 19, they just become immune and speed up the process at which the disease will self-exterminate. Some call this herd immunity, but people like Dr. Fauci prefer “heard immunity” which means people who listen to him, whether he makes sense or not.  Democratic politicians, like Jill Biden, lecture us on following the science, which means listening to them whether they make sense or not. This is the same science that destroyed much of our economy and probably killed more people by delayed treatment than would have possibly been killed by COVID 19. COVID 19, contrary to CNN, is not the only thing that kills people. For example watching Don Lemon or Anderson Cooper represents a serious risk of being bored to death.

Anyhow, did the crowd at that Tennessee concert boo themselves, or did they boo Jill Biden. If Trump or Mike Pence or Melania Trump had received this response to something they said, the MSM would have had zero difficulty understanding who was and was not being booed. Here’s a clue. Stand up in front of any crowd, especially a crowd filled with country music fans. Ask them to boo themselves. Good luck with that.

No matter how they spin it, this is not the only crowd that is booing arrogant, ignorant, and selfish people demanding everyone do something they consider worthless and potentially dangerous. As for me, if you want to get a vaccine, get one. If you have had COVID 19, you probably shouldn’t get one, but check with your doctor. Either way, I have been vaccinated. I can’t hurt you and you can’t hurt me. End of story.

One final thought. Jon Rahm got COVID 19. He had to withdraw from the Memorial Golf Tournament, even though he was leading by 6 strokes. He was ordered to be isolated from everyone, including his parents. This debilitating disease devastated him so much that he barely won the U.S.

Joe Biden signed the bill making June teenth a national holiday. Democrats should start any celebration of June 19^th with an apology.

On June 19, 1865, Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived Galveston Texas and issued General Order Number 3, freeing the slaves. For many slaves, this was their first notice that they were free. It is good that we celebrate this. But it is interesting to note who is taking and receiving credit. Donald Trump may have accidentally made this possible Last year, he scheduled a rally on June 19, 2020, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It does not appear that either he or his staff were even aware of the significance of June 19^th. Naturally, Democrats and their fawning idiots in the MSM screamed bloody murder that he was dishonoring the Tulsa, Massacre. The Tulsa Massacre, which was truly horrible, happened on May 31 and June 1, 1921. Donald Trump missed an opportunity. He should have pointed out that the people who committed that massacre were Democrats with their Klu Klux Klan buddies and most African Americans in Oklahoma in 1921 were Republican. So ironically, the liberal left trashed Donald Trump for something done by white Democrats to black Republicans. Joe Biden obviously knew nothing about June teenth, because he never mentioned it. He was too busy trying to blame Donald Trump for racist acts done by Democrats.

Oklahoma was a very racist state from day one. When they were admitted to the union the newly created state legislature immediately passed Jim Crow laws. These segregated all rail travel and made it nearly impossible for Black Americans to vote, serve on juries or hold local public office.  These laws were still enforced until 1965 when they were ruled unconstitutional after passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. You know the voting rights acts those southern democrats tried desperately to stop. The Klu Klux Klan was responsible for a lot of the violence, which was not limited to the Tulsa Massacre.

I have never understood why Republicans are not better at messaging. That is particularly true when the facts are so overwhelmingly in favor of Republicans. While there have probably been some white supremacists and racists who were Republicans, they were not major players in the Republican party. However, there are numerous examples of white supremacists who were leaders in the Democratic Party. The reality is that the Democratic Party, for much of its existence, was the party of institutionalized racism. They didn’t even pretend. It is amazing that so many black people give John F Kennedy credit for civil rights. He literally had the FBI spy on Martin Luther King. Please! Those who do this ignore the history. While JFK may have been more liberal, regarding equal rights that his southern allies, he chose LBJ to be his VP to send a strong message to those racist southern democrats that he would not focus on civil rights and end segregation. He won the closest Presidential election in history, may have stolen it in Chicago, solely because of his decision to choose LBJ. That is a historical fact, ignored by those who desperately wanted and needed a Democratic hero regarding civil rights. Earth to Democrats. While some Democrats, like Hubert Humphrey, were leaders regarding civil rights, he was pushed aside by people like JFK. When JFK and Martin Luther King were assassinated, LBJ did not push civil rights, he went along with it because he had no choice.

Much of the history of the Democratic Party is indefensible. To understand how bad this really was, check out the slogan for the 1868 Democratic National Convention: “This is a White Man’s Country, Let White Men Rule”. While Democrats blame this all on Southern Democrats, who did return to power in 1868, the ticket chosen was Horatio Seymour, former Governor of New York, and Francis P. Blair, former congressman from Missouri. Other Democrats who ran for president were George H. Pendleton of Ohio, Thomas A. Hendricks of Indian, Former Major General Winfield Scott Hancock of Pennsylvania, Andrew Johnson who was President at the time, Sanford E. Church of New York. Asa Packer of Pennsylvania, James E. English of Connecticut, Joel Parker of new Jersey, James Rood Doolittle of Wisconsin, Stephen J. Field of California, Samuel Chase of Ohio, and John T. Hoffman of New York. Obviously, a lot of northern Democrats supported this platform.

If you move back to 1864, it is even worse. The Democratic Party, at that time all northern Democrats, was bitterly split between War Democrats and Peace Democrats. These were sometimes called Copperheads because they openly favored the south. Incredibly Copperheads continued to support letting confederate states rejoin the union, even while keeping slavery intact. They felt that failure to do this would result in another civil war.

This is what the 1864 DNC resolved:

Resolved, That this convention does explicitly declare, as the sense of the American people, that after four years of failure to restore the Union by the experiment of war, during which, under the pretense of a military necessity of war-power higher than the Constitution, the Constitution itself has been disregarded in every part, and public liberty and private right alike trodden down, and the material prosperity of the country essentially impaired, justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare demand that immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities, with a view of an ultimate convention of the States, or other peaceable means, to the end that, at the earliest practicable moment, peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States.

The evidence is clear, that in addition to being willing to condone slavery, Democrats, as they did over 100 years later in Vietnam, were willing to end a war, without regard to the consequences, just before clear victory was in sight. I personally witnessed this in Vietnam. The U.S. had won that war, the North Vietnamese had given up and signed a peace treaty. If that treaty had been enforced, South Vietnam would probably look like South Korean today. But Democrats not only refused to allow defense of that treaty, but they also wouldn’t even provide the aid so that South Vietnam could defend itself. In taking this action they threw the sacrifices of all those who fought and particularly those who died in Vietnam on the scrapheap of history. Once again, Democrats who had originally supported a war, decided that after careful reflection it wasn’t worth it after all.

Contrast that with what Lincoln said about this:

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

At a time when Critical Race Theory is being proposed to blame all the problems we face on white supremacy, they ignore who were those white supremacists in the first place. They were Democrats. They were supported and encouraged by the Democratic Party. The Klu Klux Klan was highly connected with the Democratic Party. It was South Democrats who literally filibustered the Civil Right Act. It was Republicans who fought to end discrimination long before Democrats were on board. Read the platform approved by the DNC in 1948:

We stand for the segregation of the races and the racial integrity of each race; the constitutional right to choose one’s associates; to accept private employment without governmental interference, and to earn one’s living in any lawful way. We oppose the elimination of segregation, the repeal of miscegenation statutes, the control of private employment by Federal bureaucrats called for by the misnamed civil rights program. We favor home-rule, local self-government, and a minimum interference with individual rights.

We oppose and condemn the action of the Democratic Convention in sponsoring a civil rights program calling for the elimination of segregation, social equality by Federal fiat, regulations of private employment practices, voting, and local law enforcement.

Note: Democrats who supported civil rights in 1948 where literally shouted down by white supremacists.

Now contrast that with the 1948 Republican platform.

Constant and effective insistence on the personal dignity of the individual, and his right to complete justice without regard to race, creed or color, is a fundamental American principle…

Lynching or any other form of mob violence anywhere is a disgrace to any civilized state, and we favor the prompt enactment of legislation to end this infamy.

One of the basic principles of this Republic is the equality of all individuals in their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This principle is enunciated in the Declaration of Independence and embodied in the Constitution of the United States; it was vindicated on the field of battle and became the cornerstone of this Republic. This right of equal opportunity to work and to advance in life should never be limited in any individual because of race, religion, color, or country of origin. We favor the enactment and just enforcement of such Federal legislation as may be necessary to maintain this right at all times in every part of this Republic.

We favor the abolition of the poll tax as a requisite to voting.

We are opposed to the idea of racial segregation in the armed services of the United States.

Incredibly many black Americans have been convinced that the Democratic Party is the party of civil rights, and the Republican Party is the party of white supremacy and racism. Democrats argue, with no evidence, that all those racist Southern Democrats became Republicans. That is not only wrong, but also absurd. Look at all the buildings in Washington D.C. named after racist Southern Democrats who never even considering apologizing for their racism. Instead, they were praised as mentors by people like Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.

One need only look at cities run by Democrats to notice one thing. This is where racial segregation still exists today and where black Americans are impacted negatively as a result. Democratic Party policies have led to highly subsidized and concentrated low income housing. This jams a ton of people, dependent on the government, into housing projects that are notorious for crime and violence. That is the opposite of equality. Meanwhile the rich Democrats, like Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Watters, live in luxurious gated communities physically separated from the mess they created with their insane policies. Now they are proposing more of the same and the results will be the same.

Every honest advocate for protecting wildlife understands something important. If you take a wild animal and make it dependent on humans for food and shelter, they quickly become incapable of surviving in the real world. That is why Yellowstone National Park, on the verge of extinction, was brought back from the brink by allowing predators to return and allowing nature to take its course. The result is that even the herds, like Elk, that were and are preyed upon by powerful predators are healthier than ever before.

Republicans need to stop the nonsense and demand a return to the truth. They also need to stop apologizing, for things done by Democrats, and instead remind black Americans two things. First, a reminder of who historically who was their friend and who was their most feared enemy. Second, point out that real equality does not come from handouts, with restrictive strings attached, but rather from someone who offers you an equal chance on a level playing field. Just think about this. No sports team becomes great until they compete on a level playing field with top quality competitors. If the game is rigged, even seemingly on their behalf, it makes them weaker, not stronger.

We should celebrate the teenth, by telling the truth about why this was necessary in the first place. Who was holding people in slavery, even after slaves had been emancipated and who set them free? It sure wasn’t the Democratic Party. As I said earlier, the only proper way for a modern day Democrat to celebrate the teenth is by starting with an apology.  We need to start telling the truth, to the teenth degree and the people who will benefit the most from this will be black Americans who have been lied to by Democrats, and have suffered the consequences, for far too long.

When I listened, briefly, to Joe Biden’s comments following his meeting with Putin I did not expect much. I was shocked to learn it was even worse than expected. Joe Biden said he gave Putin a list of 16 infrastructure items that the U.S. considered to be critical  to national security. He told Putin that if Russia attacked any of those, there would be consequences. Putin was probably laughing so hard it created the mistaken impression that he was shaking in his boots.

This was irredeemably stupid. Perhaps the best option would be if the list were inaccurate. But odds are this is one of the few things the Biden administration got right. I immediately thought, so if Russia attacks anything not on the list, that would be ok? Give me a break. It would be like if someone threatened your family and you said: “Hey, my wife and kids are off limits.” Does that mean it would be ok if someone offs Uncle Fred? In addition, this is exactly the kind of information you do not want to give to anyone with criminal intent. It be like someone winning a huge lottery and then saying: “Don’t anyone hurt anyone on this list, or I will get mad.” That would instantly become a shopping list for kidnappers.

I worked in intelligence, and I never talk about truly secret things. But I can say that the most dangerous intelligence is what we know about our enemy that they do not know we know. This is why when Winston Churchill allegedly heard that a radio intercept revealed German plans to bomb Coventry, he refused to allow anyone to give a warning or evacuation orders. Thousands of people died as the result of that raid. But Churchill felt that it was more important to protect the knowledge that Britain has broken the enigma Code. I would not want to be the person making that decision. But history tells us that Churchill got it right, because breaking the enigma code helped defeat the U-Boats and ultimately helped defeat Germany. Churchill is reported to have said the most unethical decision he could ever make was to let Hitler win the war.

By the way, Alan Turing was a brilliant man who basically invented the computer. There are some movies out there that give the impression that he broke the enigma code all by himself. That was not close to true. It took an entire team to do that. What Turning did was perfect the machine doing the calculations necessary to break the code. It was the foundation of the modern-day computer.

But many people don’t realize that it was the Poles who were instrumental in breaking the enigma code. It was Polish mathematicians who cracked the initial enigma code in the 1930s. They also built the machine that Turing later perfected. Marian Rejewski invented something called the cyclometer and Jerzy Rozycki added a clock to it. It set a catalogue of all the possible setting and by comparison could figure out the initial setting.  By 1938 they were reading 75% of enigma messages. When Germany upgraded the enigma, on September 15, 1938, just before the Munich conference. It represented a real challenge. That is when the Poles invented the “bomba” which was a version of the cyclometer that could use a system of electric revolving rotors that could generate 17,576 different combinations of the code in about two hours. The machines would stop automatically if they got a solution. If you watched the movie Enigma, you see the machine the British called the “bombs.” The machine perfected by Alan Turing. No one mentioned it was a Polish word meaning “splendid.”

I learned much of this while working with American code breakers during the Vietnam War. They knew first hand the true history of codes, who broke them and how it was done. If you read Wikipedia or watch any of the movies, none of them mention the Poles. Incredibly, after these people escaped Germany, at horrendous personal risk, they were not allowed to work on enigma anymore because the British didn’t trust them.  The following article from Justic4poland.com does an excellent job of reporting a story greatly underreported elsewhere.

https://justice4poland.com/2014/05/30/how-poles-broke-enigma-code/#:~:text=Poles%20were%20instrumental%20in%20breaking%20the%20famous%20German,of%20the%20war%2C%20especially%20the%20Battle%20of%20

Well, now thanks to Joe, Russia was just handled a road map to our destruction. It is hard to imagine any rational reason for doing this. Previously, we were all too concerned over the fact that Joe Biden is showing such obvious signs of senility. Maybe, just maybe, the real danger comes from people, unknown, who are writing the foolish words he is misreading off of pre-printed note cards.

The Daily Mail is not exactly a pro-Trump rag. But they do report things that are ignored by the MSM in the U.S. When you think about it, this is embarrassing. We learn more about or current President from the foreign press than from our own news media. This article where a Body Language expert analyzes Biden and Putin during the Geneva summit is stunning for a lot of reasons. One is that this, sadly, reinforces what we saw with our own eyes. Biden was over matched and to the extent he was paying attention, he knew he was over matched. Putin knew that, and  the results were catastrophic. It is extremely unlikely that Biden had any impact on Putin at all, other than as a foil. Putin got most of what he wanted before even meeting with Biden. Putin clearly does not respect Biden and secretly he is probably insulted that anyone would consider Biden to be close to his equal. Putin, on the other hand, did respect Donald Trump.

Putin-Biden summit: Body language expert gives his view on events in Geneva | Daily Mail Online

There are other body language experts, who have very different views. Here is one of them:

Body-language expert says Putin’s lack of eye contact and tapping fingers showed impatience, while Biden was more open (yahoo.com)

None of them were impressed with Joe.

I think anyone with an ounce of objectivity realizes that the real problem is that Biden never was that impressive.  He is famous for telling self-serving lies that are ridiculously unbelievable. Now add in the obvious dementia where is forgets things and seems to get lost. We know Biden is lying, he is famous for lying, now it is just more difficult to figure if Biden even knows he is lying.

Putin was asked by a reporter about Biden telling this idiotic story about him looking at Putin, straight in the eye, and saying “you have no soul.” To which Putin allegedly said: “we understand each other.” Putin just said he does not remember that happening. Everyone understood he was saying that it never happened. There is no way Putin for forget something like this. Biden, on the other hand, has always had strong memories about things that never happened.

Biden has a life-long history of telling obvious lies all designed to make him look brilliant. He lied about his law school grades. He even lied about the accident in which is first wife was killed. He had been accused of plagiarism on numerous occasions and the allegations always turned out to be true. Putin noticed this and described this as “macho posturing.” That is rich from someone like Putin who is famous for “macho posturing” like riding his horse bareback etc. The difference is that while Putin overstates his own ability, he is certainly a lot more macho than Joe Biden.

It is increasingly obvious that Joe Biden is totally incapable of fulfilling the duties of the President of the United States. This is not a minor problem. The President may be called on to make very difficult decision, with lives at stake, under extreme stress. This is difficult for anyone. It is impossible for someone with the office cognitive issues demonstrated daily by Joe Biden. The latest example was when he got angry and snapped back at a CNN report for daring to ask him a question. In addition to be rude, this is evidence of a far more serious problem. This is clearly someone who gets angry and makes rash and irresponsible decisions. Donald Trump was routinely accused of this because he suggested something others did not like. But ultimately, he made good decisions. That is the difference between a President and, well, Joe Biden.

His performance was so bad that even the traveling press corps, which has been singing his praises since day one, are now openly annoyed. The real shock, to everyone include Joe Biden, was that a CNN reporter asked him a real question and demanded a real answer. Expect more of this. Imagine spending 8 days in Europe, supposedly part of the White House Press Corp, only to learn that the foreign media has far more access to Joe Biden than you and all you can do is repeat information reported by the Russian media with no independent verification.

Once the blinders come off, everything suddenly comes into focus. Stephen Colbert, who absolutely hated Donald Trump and all conservatives appears to have completely flipped. He had John Stewart on, who ridiculed COVID 19. Colbert tried, and failed, to rein him in. Then Dana Carvey appeared on his show and gave a brutal impersonation of Joe Biden. Then, last night, Colbert mocked Joe Biden himself. I suspect that Colbert learned something important. Joe Biden is the real joke and if you want to be successful comedian that someone wants to hear, then it is time to start joining the chorus. If Colbert wants anyone to watch his show, he must seize the day, which means trashing Biden. The good news for Colbert is that Biden provides an abundance of material and Colbert doesn’t even have to lie and make things up anymore, like he did with Trump.

Things are heating up rapidly and it is not limited to the weather. The problem is that if you make people dependent on the federal government, they become dependent on the federal government. Margaret Thatcher once said the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money. Well, welcome to the summer of 2021. Redstate.com is reporting that there are about 8 million people who are about to either be evicted because of foreclosure or because of failure to pay rents. The Federal Government imposed an eviction moratorium during the pandemic. It is questionable as to whether it even had the legal authority to do that. Now that the pandemic is over, the Federal Government doesn’t have that authority. So as the same time employment checks stop coming, landlords are going to start cleaning house. If the meantime the Biden administration thinks they are going to spend trillions on shovel ready jobs. They are more likely to spend trillions trying to clean up the existing mess.

Imagine you live in a rental home. You are behind on your rent. You get evicted. This is just in time for the heat wave and by the way, the power is out. You can’t find another house to rent at a price you can afford. If you don’t go back to work, you lose your unemployment. If you do go back to work, you get less money and pay taxes. Gas is double what it was last year and increasing daily. Crime is soaring. BLM and Antifa are rioting and destroying things. Migrants continue to flood in and some of them are being housed, near you, with federal money no longer available to you. Who are you going to blame, Trump? No, the media has successfully silenced him, and he has been replaced by Joe. And, oh, there is more and more evidence that the election was rigged. The MSM will start to turn on Biden, but people are going to be angry at almost everyone and that will include the people who lied to make this mess possible.

Do not overestimate the impact of rising gas prices. An increase in gas costs the average family more than a tax increase. It is a tax you can’t avoid; a tax you see every time you try and fill your car. Welcome to summertime when the living ain’t easy.

When something dies, one of the first thing coroners looks for is the onset of rigor mortis.  That is when the joints and muscle start to stiffen. This is something that lasts from one to four days.  It is sometimes called the third stage of death. Today, we are watching the onset of “Rigger’s More This” where those who conspired to put Joe Biden in the White House are showing significant signs indicating death. If they don’t figure this out, they will be truly dead. The man they hated, Donald Trump, was one of the most accessible Presidents in history. He routinely answered questions whenever he walked over to Marine One. Often the questions were vicious, mean, and distorted. They were often intended to embarrass or humiliate him. Reporters like Jim Acosta always found a way to ask an idiotic irrelevant question and then quick misinterpret the answer. But Trump still gave them access. As a result, they survived and to some extent thrived. That is because trashing Trump was good for business, the fake-news business.

Now they got their man, Joe, and he is easily the least accessible President in modern history. If he does give a press conference, which is extremely rare, he calls on select reporters, in a specific order, with pre-determined questions, and note cards with pre-printed answers. Even then he tends to muck things up and this usually lasts about twenty minutes, which is ten minutes longer than his current attention span.

It didn’t matter. He was not Trump, so the press pretended this was ok. They gushed over him. The discussed him in glowing terms and used words like ‘Rooseveltan.” Only the shrinking number of KoolAid drinkers were buying this. The networks ratings are in the toilet. CNN has to bribe people to get any viewing audience. But “Joe, Joe, he’s our man, everything is spic and span.”

Then Joe went overseas and promptly embarrassed himself and the United States on the international stage. He was so out of touch he literally interrupted Boris Johnson to introduce the President of South Africa, after Boris Johnson had already introduced him. This was so bad the entire G7 could not restrain the laughter. It is clear that Joe has become the rapidly aging uncle with Alzheimer’s, that often does things that are hilarious but not one takes him seriously. The G7 representatives tried desperately to pretend Joe was effective, primarily because he stupidly agreed with everything they asked. Then the MSM pretended this was some form of leadership. In the meantime, the fully vaccinated, the few, the proud, the self-chosen, bravely stood 10 feet apart bravely not wearing masks. They looked like the world’s ugliest chess board.  Joe, in the meantime, ignored the U.S. press. He was too busy embarrassing himself by wearing mirrored sunglasses to meet with the queen, who he described as warm and loving, like his aging mother. You can’t even make this stuff up.

Then he met with Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the leader of Turkey. You know the one who is trying to turn Turkey, which was a famously secularly Arab nation into another Islamic state. You know the guy who told Putin Israel needs to be taught a lesson? After a fist pump, he met with Joe. The first thing that happened was that American reporters were kicked out and all the subsequent reporting was done by Al Jazeera. Erdogan then said that all of the problems between Turkey and the U.S. could be solved. Of course, they can, Joe will give him whatever he wants and then forget he did it.

Then on to the big summit with Putin. The very first thing that happened was that Russian personnel pushed out American reporters. When Trump met with Putin, he was hammered by the press, even after Trump personally insisted, they be allowed to stay. His crime was not hammering Putin for interfering in the 2016 election, primarily because there was little evidence of this and because no one in either party thought this had any impact on the results. However, this was more then enough to convince the MSM of the Russian collusion theory, which has been completely debunked. When Putin and Trump were done, they held a joint press conference. When Putin and Biden were done, much earlier than expected, Putin gave a press conference already. Joe was waiting for his staff to type up cue cards and set up the TelePrompTer. Putin came dangerously close to smiling. Putin perhaps described Biden best when he described him as a “political career man prone to hollow macho posturing.” Nailed it. Of course, Hillary says that Biden is repairing the damage done by Trump. Then, incredibly, she reminded people of the giant Reset button she pressed to repair relations with Russia during the Obama administration. This is beyond pathetic.

You may or not hear much of this from the MSM, but they know. They also recognize the early onset of “Rigger’s More This,”  If they don’t do something, and soon, people will wonder why there are there at all. Unfortunately, this is what they can expect, and worse, for the next three and half years. In the meantime, in addition to mucking things up at home, Joe is now mucking things up internationally. If only the MSM was invited to even see a glimpse of what’s happening and if they did get such a glimpse, would they ever dare to admit it.

Joe Biden is confronting Vladimir Putin, face to face. He bravely plans on doing this without wearing a mask. We can be certain that Putin is terrified. Terrified that he will somehow fail to vanquish the weakest opponent he has ever encountered on a public stage. Putin knows this is the ultimate mismatch and anything other than eating Biden’s lunch will be considered a huge loss.

On the other hand, Biden has almost nothing to lose, because few honest reporters expect any positive results. Putin will agree only to things Putin wants and is unlikely to give any consideration to something suggested by Biden. This has already gone south, with Putin arguing that it was the U.S. Capitol police that assassinated someone during a peaceful political protest. He is, of course, referring to the shooting of Ashli Babbitt, who was an unarmed Trump supporter. You know the same Ashli Babbitt that Biden says was part of the greatest attack on American Democracy since the Civil War. The same January 6, 2021, armed insurrection where the only people carrying firearms were the Capitol Police. That same armed insurrection where people have been tracked down and arrested because they were outed on social media for, gasp, daring to enter the Capitol grounds to protest the 2020 election. Or more accurately, to protest the failure of ANYONE to investigation the mountainous evidence of fraud during that election. That insurrection.

Putin’s allegation is absurd, but so is Biden’s allegation that this was an armed insurrection. He called Biden’s bluff, on the international stage. The inevitable result is that the MSM will rush to prove Putin wrong and inadvertently prove that it is Biden who is spreading nonsense. Nice start.

Biden is already calling this a summit, which makes it more important, also giving Putin a strategic win. The truth Russia doesn’t even make the top ten in terms of economic production, coming in behind Canada. The U.S. and the Soviet Union were once considered the world’s two superpowers. Now the U.S. stands alone with Russia not even showing up in the rear view mirror. So, the mere fact that Biden is meeting with Putin, and calling it an important summit, is a win for Putin. Particularly when Biden says he is unconcerned about the military threat from Russia, he is focused almost entirely on combating climate change.

Biden is also terrified over domestic terrorism which he describes as racism and white supremacy. How many of you have seen white supremacist violence reported on TV? Charlottesville is the closest thing to that, and that involved the decision to remove a statute of Robert E. Lee. There were protestors on both sides and the local police deliberately let them mingle. The inevitable result was violence with considerable dispute over who hit who first. Now I am hardly a fan of white supremacists, but neither is anyone I know. I am sure they exist and there are probably more of them then we realize, but we don’t really hear much about them. That is because every time they raise their head above the bushes everyone dumps on them. America is very united on one subject, no one other than real white supremacists supports these people.

Most of the violence is coming from groups like Antifa and BLM, literally cheered on by supporting leftists and inspired by deliberate media distortion of events like the death of George Floyd. But that doesn’t matter to Joe, he is terrified by white supremacy. Now he is meeting face to face with someone who understand domestic terrorism. This is not likely to end well.

When the Boston bombers attacked the Boston Marathon, some of our U.S. officials allegedly reached out to Russia for help. That is because the bombers were from Chechnya, which is part of the Republic of Georgia. The alleged response was “now you understand what we have been dealing with.” The Russian government tried to warn us that Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a violent radical Islamicist more than 18 months before the April 2013 bombing, but the Obama administration, like the Biden administration, was far more terrified of white supremacist, all six of them.

When Biden tries to confront Putin, regarding one Russian dissident currently in jail, Putin will probably laugh and tell Joe to look in his own mirrored sunglasses, because in his opinion, not totally without merit, the U.S. literal shot and killed someone solely for participating in a political protest. This does not mean that Putin is not one mean nasty dude with a reputation for killing opponents, it just means that people wearing mirrored sunglasses shouldn’t throw stones.

Unfortunately, the sad truth is that the frail, racist, senile, incompetent, shell of a human being posing, unsuccessfully, as the President of the United States is about to be confronted by Vladimir Putin who is all too capable. This is not only unlikely to end well, but we will also be lucky if it is anything short of a complete fiasco. We are about to see Bear Putin on full display and it should frighten anyone paying attention.

Although the MSM is fawning over Biden’s performance at the G7 conference, but in reality it was a total disaster. If Trump had done any of this, they would have been calling for a cognitive examination while suggesting a resignation, for the good of the country. Now, with Kamala Harris next in line, Joe still looks like the better option.

The G7 is supposedly a meeting of the Group of Seven, the largest “advanced economies.” The members include Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the United States. It used to be the G8, but they excluded Russia in retaliation for annexing the Crimean Peninsula. So, while these pretend to be the most powerful nations on earth, that isn’t close to being true. The top economies are the U.S., China, Japan, Germany, India, France, UK, Italy, Brazil, and Canada. This is so absurd that California, by itself, would rank 5^th in the world. Of course, no sane person from California would want our international interests represented by Gavin Newsom.

Donald Trump offended the group by saying American First. That is because American is first, by a huge margin. Our economy is reported at $21.4 trillion. The next highest member of the G7 is Japan with $5.08 trillion, Germany with $3.86 trillion, the UK with $2.83 trillion, France with $2.72 trillion, Italy with $2.0 trillion and Canada with $1.74 trillion. All the other G7 economies combined are less than the U.S. economy. Trump refused to pretend. That offended the rest of the G7.  They wanted to be treated as equal, if not superior and Trump, that ungrateful jerk, wasn’t buying it. Trump went to the G7 and didn’t pretend this was somehow an equal venture. They hated him for that, but that did not make him wrong.

We are still the largest, but granted, Joe Biden is trying desperately to spend this away. Canada isn’t large enough to fund any of those stimulus packages.  Now Biden shows up, frail, obviously senile, promising to cooperate. These are beautiful comforting words to those who couldn’t hope to compete with us if we were serious about things.

Then they posed for the famous picture. It was an international joke. They all looked ridiculous. Here were all these world leaders, fully vaccinated, demanding all their people get vaccinated, social distancing and resorting to fist pumps and elbow slams as a substitute for a good old fashioned handshake. It was all for show, it was beyond obvious, and no one was impressed. Sadly, even in this group of clowns, Joe still came in dead last, and it wasn’t even close. The others loved it, because Joe is one of the few people capable of making them seem somewhat impressive.

I suggest you keep a copy of that picture, because odds are high that next year there will be a lot of new faces. At a time when the entire world is reeling because of the global wide mismanagement of COVID 19, these guys are focused on stopping climate change. Brilliant! Apparently, they are relying too much on the science to realize that there is no science supporting global warming because of rising CO2 levels. That should be obvious, because scientists don’t even say global warming anymore, they say climate change. This is because it was increasingly easy, despite the reporting on CNN and the New York Times, to show that global warming was inconveniently in a hiatus. CO2 is often described as creating the greenhouse effect, but if you add CO2 to a greenhouse, it gets colder, not warmer. So, the Greenhouse effect doesn’t even work in a real greenhouse.

Now I firmly believe we should all be for a cleaner environment and am glad our air is lot cleaner than it was decades ago. But reducing CO2 emissions in the U.S. will only slow down our economy, not global warming (oops climate change). The other G7 members love talking about climate change because they know it will hurt us far more than them. Then these clowns, led by Joe, agreed to charge corporations a minimum of a 15% tax. They smiled like this was pure brilliance. This is, of course, consistent with the democratic theory of government, where if we all stand in a big circle with our hands in each other’s pockets, we all get rich.

The bad news is we are in for a long hot summer with skyrocketing cost, shortages of almost everything, increased government spending on things that can’t possibly work accompanied by higher taxes. The good news is that COVID appears to be on the way out, solely because of the vaccines developed under Donald Trump. The masks are coming off and so are the blinders. People will start to see the world again, the way it really is, and it will not be a pretty picture. The entire world will be united, finally, on one subject. This sucks, and the people in charge are morons making everything worse. Among other things, that silly picture was a slip of state, where the self-righteous, arrogant, show boaters put their collective incompetence on full display for the entire world.

Time magazine has a picture of Joe Biden on the cover, wearing mirrored sunglass with Putin in the reflection. It was obviously intended to portray Joe Biden as a hard guy, ready to take on the puny Putin. It is like when Tom Cruz famously wore similar sunglasses in Top Gun. Time Magazine is already getting crucified by almost everyone because this is really a sad joke. It is also a huge mistake, for Joe Biden. One would think Democrats would have learned their lesson after the Dukakis tank picture. Dukakis had a picture taken of him while sitting in a tank. Dukakis wanted to show that secretly, he was the tough guy, so someone suggested the famous tank photo op. He was wearing a huge helmet and had this dopy smile. At the time Dukakis has proposed cutting the “Star War” SDI program. You know, the program that protects us again ballistic missiles. The program that could never work. The program that produced the technology used in the Iron Dome project in Israel. You know, the worthless system that shot down all those missiles aimed at Israel. That worthless program.

The tank photo tanked Dukakis’s campaign. No one bought it. No one took Dukakis seriously as anything resembling a tough guy. Well guess what folks, no one takes Biden seriously as a tough guy either. Perhaps there are some people who believe this, but most of them work for CNN. Everyone else sees this very frail looking old guy who has trouble reading a TelePrompter.  You know, the guy who fell while stupidly trying to run up the stairs to Air Force One. The guy who makes silly mistakes, like saying he forget he was President. The guy who had to be told to pay attention while his wife was speaking to the troops earlier this week. He responded by saluting. That guy. Frankly, the mirrored sunglass were probably necessary to hide the rest of his face, which is far from intimidating.

This would be hysterical, but Putin is all too real, and Biden is planning on meeting him next week. Putin will probably have trouble suppressing a smirk. He has already got Biden to stupidly give Putin the green light on his desired pipeline. This of course is after Biden cancelled our own pipeline. You can’t make this stuff up. Russian actors have been launching cyber-attacks left and right on our critical infrastructure. Biden has never even hinted at punishing Russia. In addition, Hunter Biden has almost certainly provided Putin with a steady stream of black mail material. There is zero chance Biden will intimidate Putin on any subject. It is more likely that Biden will agree to something else, incredibly dumb, convinced he is saving the world from Climate Change.

If you doubt that, this is the same man who stood in front of our troops and told them the greatest threat to the U.S. is climate change.

Top Military Officer Clarifies Biden’s Threat Assessment: Climate Change – But Also China and Russia (msn.com)

When Trump heard Biden, he said the following:

“Biden just said that he was told by the Joint Chiefs of Staff that Climate Change is our greatest threat. If that is the case, and they actually said this, he ought to immediately fire the Joint Chiefs of Staff for being incompetent.”

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff listened to Trump and said the following:

“Climate change does impact, but the president is looking at a much broader angle than I am,” Army Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a congressional panel Thursday morning. “I’m looking at it from a strictly military standpoint. And from a strictly military standpoint, I’m putting China, Russia up there.”

The Joint Chiefs of Staff are famously non-political, so for them to issue this statement is an unprecedented rebuke of a sitting U.S. President.  They only did this because what Biden said was so idiotic that they feared our enemies would believe him.

It is obvious to everyone that Biden is literally embarrassing the country on this foreign trip. Even those pretending to think Biden is doing great know the truth. Sadly, we have sent this incompetent senile joke to negotiate with Chiefs of State from other countries. That is truly a joke, but it is not funny. I seriously believe the picture of Biden wearing those sunglasses will go down as even dumber than the Dukakis tank photo, which tanked his campaign. I believe it may just go down as the lasting symbol of the Biden Administration. It is not a good look. Just ask Michael Dukakis. Except Michael probably still has a framed copy of that tank photo, which he gazes at lovingly wondering why it all went so wrong.

If you want to make money, produce a tee shirt, with the picture from the cover of Time, along with the following slogan: “Seriously?”

Everyone in California is looking forward to June 15, 2021. That is the date, according to Governor Newsom, that California will fully reopen. No one has provided a good scientific explanation for why it will be safe to stop wearing a mask on June 15, 2021, but dangerous and irresponsible to stop wearing a mask now. Just recently Sacramento County Supervisors walked out of a Board Meeting because they were outraged that some people were not wearing masks:

‘It’s Disconcerting’: Sacramento County Supervisors Walk Out Of Board Meeting After Heated Exchange Over Mask-Wearing (msn.com)

This made national news:

It’s disconcerting to look out in the audience and see so many people flagrantly ignoring the requirements,” said Supervisor Patrick Kennedy during the meeting.

He then, whether he realized it or not, took a shot at Governor Newsom:

“I don’t care if you’re in the public chambers, at the bus, or if you’re at the French Laundry. You wear a mask,” continued Kennedy.

Newsom, famously, was caught eating at the French Laundry without a mask.

Then Cal OSHA decided that people still had to wear a mask at work unless everyone was vaccinated. The backlash was so overwhelming that they are already backing off, a little.

Cal-OSHA’s New Workplace Mask Guidelines Lead To Confusion For Some Employers – CBS Los Angeles (cbslocal.com)

This is so bad that even the local CBS station noticed. Now that is true evidence of a miracle. It is evidence that fewer and fewer people are buying this mask nonsense anymore.

It is increasingly obvious that a lot of Democrats are terrified at the prospect of seeing people shred masks. Some of them are probably sincere, firmly convinced that masks somehow, miraculously, prevent the spread of COVID. Others may be motivated by the loss of control. Masks were a symbol of the government’s ability to micromanage our lives. Just think about this. A little over one year ago if a government had tried to tell you where and when you could go anywhere, what you had to wear and how you had to act this would have been received with anger, disgust, and rebellion. The only thing that changed was the COVID 19 scare, supported by the MSM and people like doctor Fauci. We now know that much of what we were told was a lie. COVID 19 is a nasty disease, but so are a lot of other diseases. But the way we handled it was very different. This started with lying about existing treatments like zinc and hydroxychoroquine. People were literally told this could kill you. It was compared with drinking bleach. This was always described as a deadly pandemic. The facts, even using overstated statistics, show the opposite.

There have been 3,798,053 cases of Covid 19 in California. There have been a total of 63,586 reported deaths. That is a fatality rate of 1.67%. There have been 33,547,199 cases in the US, with 604,113 deaths. That is a fatality rate of 1.8%. There have been 174,128,069 cases in the world, with 3,750,197 deaths. That is a fatality rate of 2.8%

Everyone who has done any research quickly notices that most of the U.S. deaths involved people who had some other potentially fatal health condition. The CDC recently said that only in 6% of the deaths was COVID the sole cause. While every death is tragic and we should all respect life, these numbers simply do not support the myth that COVID was a deadly pandemic, and all the draconian measures were totally worth the cost. I think ultimately more people may die because of COVID restrictions than from COVID, because people stopped getting tests like mammograms and often postponed surgery.

But if you watched any news cast, for most of the time from March 2020 to around April 2021, it always started with the COVID 19 case count and the death toll. That has now changed. Today this is barely mentioned. Most of this is because of the vaccines which we only have because of the leadership of Donald Trump. Remember when Biden and Harris said they would never trust a vaccine developed while Trump was President? Now Biden is taking credit for the vaccine he was trashing last fall. He is doing everything possible to get people to take the vaccine, even people who have little risk from COVID 19.

In theory, California will officially put COVID 19 behind us next Tuesday. There are already signs of people taking their masks off. While most people are still wearing a mask while shopping at Walmart or Home Depot, some are not, and that number is increasing. Incredibly some people are still wearing masks while walking outside. Amazing. Of course one still has to wear a mask while in an airport or on a plane, although numerous studies show this is unnecessary.

If Newsom keeps his promise and California reopens on June 15, 2021, one of two things will happen. Either there will be a resurgence of COVID or there not. I certainly do not expect one during the summer months. My prediction is that any surge will come, conveniently, just before the recall election. Newsom will use his emergency powers, again, to save us all from COVID. But if he does that it may backfire. The most contagious thing in the world is freedom. Once people experience it, again, they will be confronted with how bad it was when the government was micromanaging our lives.

At the same time, Joe Biden is literally embarrassing himself on his trip to the G7. This is so bad that at least some people must be desperate for a solution. Normally, it would be any lifeboat in a storm. But this lifeboat is called the Kamala Harris and she is one of the few people capable of making Joe Biden look competent in comparison. So, in addition to removing the masks from the American people, we are also removing the masks hiding the incompetence of the Biden Administration. There are already reports of inflation at 6.5%, which is the highest it has been since 1982. Everyone is going to notice because the cost of everything is going up. If you can save up enough money to buy gas so you can go grocery shopping, but you may not have enough left to buy groceries. If you do have enough money, there will still be a huge problem with shortages. Thanks Joe.

No one knows the full results of the Arizona Audit. What we do know is that representatives from Georgia, Alaska and Colorado have toured the Arizona audit site. There are reports that other states are also planning visits. The $24,000 question is why? We already know some things that are important. One is that this audit is very different from the traditional, worthless audits done elsewhere. Another is that someone is spending a lot of time and money on this. In addition, it is obvious that this is being done under very tight security. They are also very careful to document everything they do. A remarkable contrast with how the election was handled.

There appear to have been zero leaks regarding results. There is always a reason for that. For example: prosecutors seldom leak results until they are ready to announce indictments. This is because they are only interested in gaining a conviction, not publicity. Real investigations work that way. Publicity stunt investigations leak all the time. For example, contrast this with the Russia Collusion probe. Remember all the times Trump was on the verge of being kicked out of office? Remember all those CNN reporters with hushed breath saying, “this is it” They had nothing. They have nothing. They never will have anything.

So, we are either due for the second coming of Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone’s vault, and finding nothing, or this will go off like a bomb. You might recall that Geraldo was so sure they would find something that a medical examiner was on site in case they found human remains. The only remains they found were the shreds of Geraldo’s massive ego exposed on national television. If that happens, then this all goes away in a flash with the only lingering effect a lot of red faces. But this time they aren’t opening the wall to a room where no one knows what is on the other side. At least some people know exactly what they found. Those people are not talking, but they are inviting others to come in and watch the process.  They are either stupidly showcasing stupidity, or they have found something substantial.

We should point out that Joe Biden only won Arizona by 10,457 votes. So, it wouldn’t take a lot of disqualified votes to change things. One thing that has leaked is that Arizona had over 21,000 “Federal Only Voters.” A federal only voter is one who has provided no proof of citizenship. Some question if they even exist. All they need is a bank statement to get a ballot. Ironically, they apparently cannot vote in a state or local election but can still cast a ballot for President of the United States. Does that really make sense to anyone?

Proof of Citizenship Requirements | Arizona Secretary of State (azsos.gov)

Federal only voters may use the Federal Voter Registration form, available here:

National Voter Registration Application Form for U.S. Citizens (ENG) (eac.gov)

Note this is not a state form it is a national form. You don’t need to provide any evidence of citizenship; you just need to check yes when asked: “Are you a citizen of the United States?”  No one would ever lie about that, course not!

They are apparently close to being done. They have only announced when they will release results. The same MSM that accepted ludicrous election results, with enormous flaws, have tried to discredit the audit before it was done.  Many articles in the MSM start with saying this is a continuation of President Trump’s baseless claims of a stolen 2020 election. In other words, they have determined the outcome before they knew anything about the process or the results.

“Democrats and elections experts have expressed grave concern about the audit, arguing in particular that the process has so far lacked transparency and warning that partisan elected officials may be sacrificing accuracy and security in favor of speed and political convenience.”

Actually, this appears to be a very transparent process, where they are documenting everything. What they aren’t doing is leaking information about what has been found.

One will note that the same MSM reporters totally ignored issues like transparency during the 2020 election, even though the results in some states defy all logic and common sense.

There is no doubt that the people doing the audit are looking for election fraud. That is the whole point. If there were no questions, there would be no need for an audit. I doubt that anyone, including liberal Democrats, really think that the type of election audits done routinely accomplish much. They just basically check the totals already submitted. This audit is very different, because they are looking at every ballot. We will soon know the results. We can be sure if they found a lot of fraudulent ballots that they will document this very carefully. They must know that any results would be poo pooed or ignored by the MSM and are almost certainly prepared to defend their report. But the real audience is the American people and those delegations from other states. All it takes is one audit to provide significant evidence that the 2020 election was rigged and that will change everything. Many states are already planning similar audits. If that happens, this will be the summer of our discontent, or rather the summer of hand audits.

In the meantime, they are spending a lot of time and energy drilling for oil, or in this case, oily election results. Sometimes, drilling for oil you do find a gusher.
