They’ve decided to keep the Covid fear machine in place, at least until May 11, and you can bet there will be crocodile tears if it ever happens. You can hear them now. Covid did what Global Warming was supposed to. Not that they’re not still throwing fits about stuff we’ve never heard of. National Geographic must be slow on the uptake if these wild phenomena are taking place somewhere on the “planet.” Some of these guys nearly busted through their suits with anger. The trick is that we, the recipients of their wrath, can’t even conceive of their wealth.  

I’m trying to remember if a fit has been thrown in the U. S. Congress to compare to the bouncing and gesturing of AOC. Maybe she has a future at the pulpit. It’s as if some of those gestures were created in a mirror. She was nearly beside herself with anger at all the usual whipping boys. You know, racism, inequality, violence against women of color. Turns out the whole squad is apoplectic. What do you mean they can’t serve on important intelligence and national security committees? What an outrage! How dare we stand for it? This fit will be memorialized.

So you know we’ve got a Chinese spy balloon drifting high above the United States. Nothing can be done because… The explanations don’t make a lot of sense. Who knows what ramifications shooting down a Chinese spy balloon would have, or what backroom agreements would be breached. Word has it that the pretender wants it shot down and the military is balking. We can land vehicles on Mars, but have no idea how to deal with a spy balloon.  

I made the mistake of tuning in to one of the lesser news stations. There was a Ukrainian woman of some high office sounding like a true believer. She wants all Russian influence kicked across the border and the international community’s blessing. Nothing short of that is acceptable. That’s as unrealistic as it gets. It overlooks realities of decades, and guarantees perpetual war. It makes you wish our government was half as concerned about our southern border.  Only those borders halfway around the world really matter.  

Everybody’s after Trump. Old stories are being dredged up with all kinds of criminal implications. They’re going to destroy him no matter what. You’ve got to admit, all these years of throwing the book at him, and nothing to show for it has to be infuriating. I’m thinking of the Police Chief in the Pink Panther movies.  

Meanwhile, Hunter’s gone on offense. He’s got some of the finest lawyers money can buy. A lot of them. How dare his personal stuff go public! Somebody must be responsible. Sue everybody in sight, maybe that’ll work. You have to wonder what the big guy’s lawyers are thinking. I’m thinking this wasn’t their strategy, but who knows? You might have noticed, the details of some international deals are getting published all over the place. The “going on offense” posture is designed to call a halt to the revelations. It’s a little late. We already know.

We were kind of hoping we hadn’t heard the last of the Davos crowd, urgent to save us from ourselves as they were. Apparently our bosses (they think) have a lot of things figured out.  They’ve decided the planet can be saved if we just all stay home! Imagine the non-existent traffic jams and no office energy consumption. The Covid mandates showed the way, and if they could just get us all back indoors everything would be fine. Surely you won’t mind a little dietary diversity, like bugs.  

The arrogance of buffoons knows no bounds. John Kerry’s got that look on his face again. Uh oh. There go the gas stoves. Everybody stay home, except when it’s time for your next booster shot. If these self-absorbed intellectual types weren’t so vain, it might be a little easier to take. We don’t believe in them. There’s a much higher power and we believe in Him and the common sense he gave us. Thanks anyway.

Weekly Update 

Greetings from Tyler,

Not a news break goes by without mention of the Covid plague.  Dr. Fauci is on TV again, warning that people should wear masks in public settings.  Los Angeles decided against another mask mandate, but not before letting everyone know that they had the power to impose a requirement. Several cities had already announced that they wouldn’t be enforcing any masking rules.  You’d think police had something more important to do, especially in California.  Apparently we’ve been too stupid to live our lives all this time.  What would we do if we didn’t have some bureaucrat telling us what to do?  It looks like they’re not going to let Covid die a natural death, and why should they?  Never has such intrusive power been wielded over a panicked public.  

The damage that’s been done to the U. S. economy via lock-downs and mandates is incomprehensible.  Money was created and given to people who don’t want to go to work.  The frauds we’ve heard about are mind-boggling.  It seems the government always sends the money and asks questions later.  Well this was an opportunity for rampant fraud.  Now we’ve got rampant inflation, which is surely not the fault of the people running this disaster.

When Trump spoke about the trouble with Western Europe, Germany in particular, being at the mercy of the Russian pipeline the German delegation laughed at him. In Hanover, Germany they’ve shut off hot water to all public buildings and turned off the lights at night.  They’re not laughing anymore, their constituency is taking cold showers.  Wait until the weather gets cold.

Here at home we’re busy learning the new definitions of words.  Recession?  Never mind the old definition, we’re transforming the economy to sustainable energy and these hiccups are inevitable.  That’s what they’re telling us.  Interest rates have been raised this week in another attempt to tame inflation not seen since the Carter years.  Never mind, they’re saving the planet!  It’s not their fault, they expected the “transition” to be a little bumpy.  

So we’re transitioning to “clean energy.”  What a boondoggle!  Who promoted these goofballs to be guardians of the planet?  They’ve long since stopped trying to convince us that it’s a worthy cause.  Now we just have to do what we’re told.  It’s the weather patterns, it’s the fertilizer, it’s the fact that you’re using too much power.  The buffoons pushing this nonsense appear to be doing it so they can preen in newfound power and self-righteousness.  They’ve staked out the lofty offices of planetary protectors.  They’re also involved in meatless meat and other investments that they’ll recoup just as soon as we acknowledge their brilliance.  They can wait forever so far as we care.

Sri Lanka went green, now there’s anarchy.  The leaders have flown to parts unknown, and just in time.  It’s a mess, but it always is when this green stupidity is “mandated” over the population.  Farms shut down over nitrogen fertilizer.  Who knew that was what was destroying the planet?  While everything is a shambles, at least they can bask in the knowledge that they went “green.”  

There are global organizations establishing these policies.  Whether it’s health or saving the planet, the WHO and the WEF have all the answers.  To follow their logic is national suicide, but they’re not fussed. They plan to be around, directing the rest of us amid the disaster they’re promoting.  

Maybe you’ve noticed, we don’t predict the time of the “end of the world.”  But we are well aware of the events that lead up to the nightmares of the end time.  It involves nations going along with central European powers as if they’ve got all the answers.  Just do what they say, and you’ll be fine.  But we’re not going to do what they say, we’re going to talk back and disobey their mandates.  

We’re finding out that leaders of governments and important offices of nations around the world are graduates of the World Economic Forum, and they’re all bought in to all this nonsense.  It just has to be mandated throughout the nations and let the chips fall.  Everything we believe about the Bible and the U. S. Constitution tells us these guys can go jump in the lake.  It looks like they’ll find out the hard way, but we’re not going with them.
