I’ve always thought that if everybody would just listen to me and do as I say, the world would be a better place. Indeed, it would be a nirvana like utopian paradise where trains would run on time, and everyone would be happy and better looking.
As I sit down to write this column, there are a dozen major news events that have occurred in the past 10 days. It’s hard for someone as persnickety and opinionated as I am to limit my musings to just one topic. Moreover, I know many of you are lost with how to interpret the news cycle, and need my commentary, i.e. wisdom, to make sense of current events and thus achieve a sense of Zenful bliss. So here are 6 mini articles:
Trump’s Assassination Attempt. In my last article, I wrote how we should not trust a word the FBI (and Secret Service) says. This week Miss Congeniality, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, and the FBI’s Christoper Wray testified in front of Congress. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such Deep State hubris, dishonest evasion and downright smug contempt for the American people than their testimonies. Frau Cheatle made Hermann Goering’s Nuremberg testimony seem cooperative, while Wray did his Sergeant Schultz “I know nothing” routine.
How is it that a hayseed hick from the backwoods such as me knows more about what happened on July 13th than these Pagliacci do? They clearly are hiding the ball about something. It never ceases to amaze me how inept the Republicans are on how to win arguments and move the needle in their direction. They are like Charlie Brown trusting Lucy to hold the football. Dear LAMO Republicans, just say “until the SS and FBI can prove otherwise, Joe Biden ordered a hit on Donald Trump.” This is called “smoking the other side out.” Flip the narrative. Make them do their job and provide credible evidence to prove your assertion wrong. This rhetorical offensive makes the other side come to you as opposed to you pleading like some Dickensian waif begging for a scrap of bread.
Accountability in Government. Judge Cannon in Florida dismissed the so called “documents” case against President Trump as there is no statutory authority to appoint Jack Smith as special counsel. Duh. There’s also no Congressional appropriation to pay for the prosecution. Judge Cannon’s opinion is extremely well reasoned. We are a country of laws. The special counsel statute had long since expired and Merrick Garland could no more appoint Jack Smith and let him spend tens of millions of dollars than Bill Barr could have given me $50 million to prosecute Hunter Biden for violations of the Mann Act. This sleazy maneuvering is rampant abuse of power. It works like this, the President or his minions take executive action knowing full well there is no legal authority for such action. Immediately, the citizens are deprived of their liberties, their property and perhaps their lives (see mandated vaccines). Our only remedy is to take on Leviathan and sue. Not an easy task. By the time the case reaches an empathic ear with the judiciary, the damage has already been done (see Biden’s first student loan forgiveness dictate). Right now, the FEC chair has unequivocally stated that Kamala Harris cannot “just take over” Biden’s $100 million campaign war chest, but she will do it anyway. Government apparatchiks have complete license to knowingly flout the law, direct millions, even billions to causes that benefit themselves with no personal accountability to pay the money back when it is determined that they acted in bad faith or without legal authority. They should pay the money back or have their personal assets seized. They should also be tarred and feathered and then shipped to the island of Elba. Moving on…..
The Media. Don’t believe it. There’s always an agenda. When the media was all gooey about Kamala raising $100 million within a day of old Joe resigning, I became suspicious. Not one reporter had seen one actual check with Kamala’s name on it. Obviously, the media wants all reluctant donors sitting on the fence to open up their wallets by making it seem that “others” are hopping on the Kamala train (the use of the word “train” has no sexual connotation).
The Real Problem. Before Joe Biden was forced out of the presidential race, he proposed that the federal government limit the amount a landlord could increase rent to a residential user to 5%. This is just shocking, and it’s no different than the government seizing private property. It’s not just that price controls don’t work and diminish supply, this initiative illustrates the outrageous appetite of the politically powerful to grow the government such that it controls everything and makes you a slave to it. The audaciousness to even propose such a thing illustrates the mindset that “what is yours belongs to us” and the power they think they have over you and your property. Kamala is a cackling hen with the IQ of a tadpole, but the upcoming campaign ought to be focused on issues, because what she and her handlers believe is truly scary and needs to be exposed.
Karens. Immediately after Kamala entered the presidential race, the “I’m with her” social media posts began from certain female types that know nothing about her and arguably know very little about anything. I like women, and in many respects, I think they have greater attributes and are better people than men, but not the insufferable Karens. How many women do I know in the 1% who are unhinged, braindead psychopaths trapped in a cult of uninformed histrionics? Yes, you went to Miss Porter’s and then to an $80,000/year liberal arts school that your daddy paid for to get you out of the house when you were 18. But that doesn’t make you smart or well informed. A few years ago, I ran into a woman I knew (her husband is a great guy), and she asked if I wanted to have lunch to discuss “race” (she had jumped on the George Floyd, it is ok to burn cities down bandwagon). I couldn’t help myself and I told her “no, you are not as smart or as well informed as I am, and it would be a complete waste of my time.” I thought it was a good line, and if any of y’all want to use it to combat the Karen menace, you have my permission.
Netanyahu and Hamas. There could never be a clearer case of Good v. Evil than the State of Israel v. Hamas. The Palestinians are a shi#y people with a shi#y culture. Yep, I just said that. Nobody wants them. They suck. There has never been a clearer set of facts justifying military action. I’ve outlined the history of Israel and its conflict with the Palestinians in a March and an October 2023 article. If one understands facts, as laid out in these brilliant articles, it is hard to conceive why there would be any support for Hamas among anybody not a Rashida Tlaib radical Jew hater. Over half the Democratic delegation refused to show up for Netanyahu’s speech, including Biden, Harris, Nancy Pelosi and my senator, little Timmy Kaine. It’s stunning.
What makes their thinking so utterly deranged? I’ll tell you, “intersectionality.” It’s a Marxist concept emanating from 100 years of Frankfurt School “pedagogy.” Whenever you hear the word “pedagogy” instead of “teaching,” know you are speaking with a leftist “intellectual.” Intersectionality is one of those amorphous lefty words that is almost always used to make excuses for bad behavior. In short, anyone who belongs to a group that sucks is a victim of a morally superior, more accomplished and successful group. Therefore, anything the group that sucks does is excused. Intersectionality allows Hamas to rape 7 years olds, behead kids at concerts, drag old ladies behind jeeps and cook Jewish babies in ovens. It’s a poisonous and destructive ideology bought and paid for by your tax dollars used to dumb down and indoctrinate your children at so called institutes of “higher learning.”
Now that you have been enlightened, you no doubt will sleep more soundly being aware that there is an all knowing (and modest) oracle, with all the answers, whose wisdom can guide all us to a better world containing no stress, perfect peace and plenty of cute little puppies.
