There’s no question things have gone seriously sideways. Who, on the world stage, thinks the United States is a factor? We’re being humiliated around the world.  Everybody sees what we’re seeing, and the results are obvious. 

It’s now the morning after the debate, and the pretender did better than expected. Unfortunately his voice was reduced to a whisper. Biden knew what he was talking about the majority of the time. There were however some incidents where he ceased to make sense.  

The sources I read claim that there’s a sudden urgency to replace him among his mentors, excluding Jill. He didn’t do too bad as far as having his lines at the ready, but that whisper!  

When the pretender campaigns, which is rare, they have to cordon off the majority of a high school gym to make it look like he’s got a crowd. Trump holds events that attract enormous crowds and says things that you’d not expect as if he’s sitting across the kitchen table. One thing, unexpected.  He called Joe Biden the worst president in American history, TO HIS FACE.  

The mainstream is claiming numerous Trump falsehoods. Maybe he exaggerates, sometimes. Most of us know when he’s doing it, and appreciate it. Biden’s voice was down to that irritating whisper. Maybe that clan of 16 tutors made him talk too much. He’s purportedly been preparing while Trump has been out campaigning. The White House released a statement saying he had a cold. Doesn’t a cold usually come with coughs and a sniffle?  

The fact checkers are working overtime, with both accused of making false statements. But they were thrilled with Joe’s performance. At least that’s what they told him. At this point it seems a clear case of elder abuse. Trump gets a kick out of saying he falls up stairs; He falls up…  Watching him walk, well it’s painful.  

There are numerous videos circulating that make it look like the pretender is faltering. They may have played their last card when we were informed that we can no longer believe our eyes. That’s right, they can knock your socks off making it look like people said things they would never say. Whether they can create some of the scenes we’ve been seeing is in serious doubt.  

Everybody didn’t think ole Joe was very impressive, and at this point it’s. Whoever watched the debate is welcome to their own impressions. But we’re not the only ones watching. The rest of the world has seen it, and they’re having their own reactions.  

The next several months are critical. We hope the pretender cares about something other than himself, but we’re not sure. He’s in over his head in multiple ways. This thing in Ukraine could get out of hand. Maybe it already has. Putin has made a tour of the Far East, making friends with Kim Jong Un. He also went to Vietnam in what was described as a diplomatic visit.  

The news says Mexico’s power grid is at its limit. It’s summer now, and things haven’t been done right down there. The bulk of the invasion has been streaming through Mexico, and apparently there’s nothing that can be done. Biden got a little carried away when trying to overturn everything Trump had done.  

With any luck we’ll live another day and hopefully not see some globe-girdling conflagration between now and the election. But trouble for the United States may be in somebody’s best interest.

This nation better get a clue before our blessings get revoked.

He did it again!  Wouldn’t you have loved to be a fly on the wall when the pope said the unthinkable? There must have been pointy hats going in all directions.  Why are they so outraged?  You don’t suppose he hit them where they live?  It even sounds worse in Italian, and the pious cardinals were not amused. He apologized, and while his apology was being considered, he said it again!  The same term that made all the cardinals and priests apoplectic in the first place. This was to be the pope who finally broke the barrier and welcomed everybody, no matter how weird.

He was the one who “welcomed” them openly, catering to their perverse desire to be seen and accepted. Now he’s called them “frociaggine” to their faces. 

Europe is turning right.  Oh boy.  They were ahead of us with their “global warming” response. All their good ideas aren’t producing enough power, so they’ve had to return to destroying the planet.  Apparently Chinese battery cars are all the rage.  Will we keep them out with protectionism, or would somebody actually buy one?  

Putin has been showing up all over the far east.  He’s made deals with China, North Korea and Vietnam. Some have speculated that there will be North Koreans and possibly others fighting in Ukraine!  Maybe you don’t listen to Trump speeches, but I do. He claims he’ll have the Ukraine war ended even BEFORE he arrives at the White House.  We can only wonder.

So they convicted Hunter Biden on gun charges, and the media is trying to draw some moral equivalency to the “two felons”. Oh yeah, they’re exactly the same! (/s)  Trump doesn’t even drink alcohol because of his brother and perhaps other acquaintances. But the media is treating them as the same, FELONS. The only problem is, Trump’s case is going to get overturned, so they better enjoy themselves while they can. Hunter’s case? That’s a problem. But maybe the pretender is using this as a distraction.  After all he’s not on trial.  Hunter’s sentence will probably be commuted, despite all the talk. 

We plan to treat the immigration problem in the next issue of the magazine. I can’t stand to watch what’s going on with the border. Apparently we’ve declared ourselves completely unable to get a handle on it, or the administration has.  It just wouldn’t be fair, or some such nonsense. I cannot stand the explanations given by Mayorkas. My take is that it’s a former president’s solution for our prosperity. We don’t deserve a civilized existence, so bring in the third world! That ought to fix us.

Trump says we’re going to send all the illegals back where they came from in the biggest deportation in history.  Odds are that Biden won’t make it to the election, or far past.  The smart money is expecting Newsom to step in with everyone’s blessing, including the big guy’s.  What a good job he’s done with California.  We can’t wait for the whole country to have people living under bridges, camping wherever they please and trash everywhere.  Maybe that would make us feel better.
