One cannot do much to control the weather. But, with careful planning, one can cruise away from it. We just got back from a Caribbean cruise over Christmas. While wandering around St. Maarten in my shorts and T shirt, my Apple Watch notified me of a freeze warning for Sun City Center, Florida. At first, I thought this was probably for Northern California, but no, it was for Florida. When we got home, we heard all about the coldest weather in about 40 years. We didn’t actually plan for this, but the timing sure turned out to be spot on.
The United States is on a difference kind of cruise control, and this is really hard to predict. It is hard to imagine anything dumber than Republicans agreeing to a $1.7 trillion Biden budget just hours before Republicans take over congress. We can be sure that, if the roles were reversed, Democrats would never have considered giving Republicans this kind of gift. One hopes this is mere stupidity and not something more sinister like RINO Republicans deliberately sabotaging the incoming, conservative class. One thing is certain, this was a gift that will keep on giving and most of this will be beyond bad. Unless one buys the logic that increased government spending, for the first time in recorded history, is the secret to controlling inflation, then few rational people can predict anything other than catastrophic economic meltdown. Many smart economists are already scream red flag warnings, but not one seems to be listening. I wonder if the people in Washington realize how close we are to uniting behind the “none of the above” club.
It does not help to learn that the Washington established has been caught telling vicious lies while trying to desperately silence anyone who dares hint at the truth. We are rapidly learning that the government not only lied about COVID, but it also silenced internationally respected experts on the subject if they dared question the CDC proclamations, even when the CDC was clearly flat out wrong on a lot of really important issues.
And it is difficult to even fathom the depths of political depravity demonstrated by the FBI. There have always been rumors of the deep state, but thanks to Elon Musk, we now have actual evidence, and it is worst than most of us could even imagine.
It is at times like this that God seems to intervene. The massive artic chill that arrived just in time for Christmas is going to do a lot more than make people cold and miserable. This has exposed government incompetence on a scale few thought possible. People who foolishly bought electric cars to protect against global warming just may find themselves shivering in their electric homes, unable to leave even if the weather improves. Then after power is finally restored, to hear the Governor of New York claim this as proof of climate change.
For those who don’t live on the West Coast and so may not yet notice, there is an atmospheric river forming from Hawaii to the West Coast. Those of us who lived in Northern California during previous atmospheric rivers know that this can result in an unbelievable amount of rain. In addition, all this delicious precipitation is destined for the rest of the country, soon.
Actually no one alive has really experienced how this works since the last time this happened was around 1860. That is when the Governor of California went to his inauguration in a rowboat that delivered him on the second floor. Los Angeles got about 76 inches of rain in a 30-day period and there was a flood that went from Marysville to Bakersfield. Most people don’t know about this because they think everything that ever happened has been since the invention of color TV.
So, when you combine really bad weather, with a really bad economy, rising crime, an open border allowing millions of people to just walk across our border, skyrocketing inflation and leaders in this country confused regarding whether or not there is any real biological difference between males and females and perfect storm isn’t a strong enough term. These are the times that try men’s souls and also their soles, as they may find themselves walking miles trying to get back home after abandoning their electric vehicle. One thing is clear, this country is on cruise control and all those people supposed to be in charges are either a sleep at the wheel or wondering why there even is a wheel?
We don’t know where this will go, but we can easily identify who will not lead us into the future. Anybody currently in charge, either in government or in the MSM, need not apply. Start with none of the above, and then go from there.
