Republicans Betray Again

Republicans in Congress are not conservative.

Republicans betray their voters, again, this time in the Senate

RNC, do not call me, do not ask for money, you aren't getting any.

When I donate money, it is direct to chosen candidates.

And never to people that call me on the phone.

Supply Chain and Trucker Terrorists

The inadequacies of government are most apparent when agencies fail to communicate in a useful manner.

Of course MSNBC sees it differently, to them the supply changes issues are the fault of middle aged white men that voted for Trump.

The Supply Chain and Border Security

All governments are inadequate. This citizen believes that the government that is most responsive is that that is closest the the people. Local governments have their weaknesses, but are answerable to their constituents.

Two federal agencies failing to protect citizens not sharing information (silos), is easy to imagine and should be easy to fix. 

Easy, if the agency isn't led by a gender confused fool like Buttigieg.

Self Defense

Have been pondering some of the things said during the prosecution of Mr. Rittenhouse. 

There seems to be a conflict of Constitutional guarantees. One of the foundations is that citizens have the right to possess property. If we are guaranteed that privilege, why do local governments assert that we aren't we allowed to protect that. 

Conflict emerges with the concept that inflicting injury upon a perpetrator is an infraction on that person's civil rights. 

In all cases, including the Rittenhouse, the issues are generally decided upon who was the aggressor and who was in a defensive posture.

Why would a prosecutor suggest that a legally armed man forfeit the right to self defense?

With focus on Rittenhouse, all three of the assailants suffered for their foolish attempts to blindside an armed and well trained man.

As it should be.

Voter Suppression

 Not today....

Stacey Abrams is driving around Atlanta, she gets off on an Interstate 285 exit to find food (of course). Gets lost and finally stops at a rural grocery, and asks

"How do I get back to 285"?

Elderly grocery owner looks her over closely and finally asks...

Have you tried diet and exercise?

Bereavement Leave

 Newsworthy from Portland, Oregon.

The city council of Portland voted to allow bereavement leave for employees who have had an abortion.

The President of the National Institute for Reproductive Health happily announced :

"It's important to recognize that employees need time to address their reproductive health needs, and they may need time to process what they're experiencing."

 The deliberately deceptive moniker is silly enough, an unofficial self-titled "Institute" that is focused on protecting women's Supreme Court adjudicated right to kill unborn fetuses, has no interest in reproductive health.  

I understand that a woman, or couple, that aborts a pregnancy, is bound to have remorse, if they have any conscience at all.  But is that not a recognition that the life has been ended.

The policy adopted by the city Portland inadvertently affirms the pro-life concept. Does anyone think that this was the intent?  

The Democrats' Self-inflicted Wound

He is returned.

I had been wondering if Alan Dershowitz had been well, given that none of my usual sources of his output had shared his work since April. 

The Democrats' Self-inflicted Wound: The recent Republican victories were not so much a vindication of Republican policies as a rejection of the extremism of Democratic leaders and their tolerance for radical hard-left policies. 

To quote:

The recent election demonstrates that voters see through the duplicity of the current failed leadership of the Democratic Party and will make their party pay in next year's midterm elections unless there is reform at the top.

There is more, including suggestions to the right that the moderates should rebuke those on the extreme right. 

There have always been extreme opinions on both sides of the political game. I would argue that the center of the Democrat part has moved significantly to the left since November 2016. There is research that shows that the Republican party has not moved positionally in the last decade, but Democrats have moved in the opposite directions. I am not looking to argue about it  

Should Have

 President Trump should have fired Anthony Fauci when he had the prerogative.

News has come out in the last week confirming what most conservatives suspected, that the government was up to its neck in gain of function research, subcontracting work to Chinese laboratories.

That governments do such things isn't that surprising. Doctors, generally, are invested in the welfare of people. Gain of function research is a tool for creation of vaccines that have abroad scope of effectivity. Naturally occurring viruses constantly mutate, potentially negating a vaccine's usefulness.

Like so many of President Trump's battles, this was a conflict between the common (sic) man and politician, compounded with egomania. President Trump expressed frustration with the inconsistency of Dr. Anthony Fauci. I retrospect Fauci, is more of a politician than the businessman ever was. As a politician, he has, even in combating AIDS been squirrely, a man not to be trusted.

This past week a newly retired NIH Director made public, documents that prove Fauci was involved in sponsoring gain of function research at EcoHealth.

Doctor Fauci has testified before Congress, claiming that he was unaware of any such sponsorship. He should be subject to penalties for perjury, whatever they might be. He won't, because he is a darling of the political class, the man who absorned the  brunt of complaint, deflecting complicity by our government and allowing the "reset" to proceed.

The funny thing is, if he hadn't lied, the people would have understood, at least I would.

An Honest Response

This certainly a form letter, but I have to give credit when it is due. Senator Raphael Warnock, in this response at least acknowledges our positions are opposed and makes a promise to continue on the path of admitting more illegal aliens.

He's a dick for favoring illegal aliens over a citizens concerns, at least he's a stand up dick.

Dear Mr. Otis, Thank you for contacting me to discuss your opposition to immigration reform as a part of budget reconciliation. This is a critically important issue to our nation. The United States has always been a nation of immigrants, and I believe that we must fix our broken immigration system and approach this problem with empathy and humanity. As you may know, one-in-ten Georgians were born in a different country, and one-in-thirteen Georgia residents have at least one immigrant parent. I support comprehensive legislation to fix our broken immigration system. I also believe we need to secure our border, keep our communities safe, grow our economy, and ensure all migrants and immigrants are treated humanely. As a man of faith and champion for human rights, I also believe we should keep families together, and institute a reliable system to process legitimate requests from asylum seekers and refugees—people who are fleeing violence or persecution in their home countries—in a timely manner. I understand the desire to pass this immigration by any means necessary as well as the importance of following Senate rules. As the Senate continue to consider the best path forward for a solution to immigration you can trust I will consider the opinion of all Georgians.  I know that there are many viewpoints on this subject, and I value hearing from you. Thank you again for reaching out to me. Please do not hesitate to do so again in the future if I may be of assistance to you or your family.  Sincerely, Reverend Raphael Warnock United States Senator

Alex Jones

For a couple of years, I've been hearing about a man named Alex Jones. Normal mainstream media has portrayed him as some sort of nut.
Yesterday I listened to a long format interview with Steven Crowder and came away impressed. Alex Jones seems to be exhaustive researcher and capable of extrapolating immoral motives.
I am not sold as yet, but intend to be doing a deep dive.

Churnalism

All of us learn to write in the second grade. Then most of us go on to greater things.
