A Few Thoughts

I’ve returned home after several days attending to wonderful family things and spending a couple days in our nation’s capital. No, I am not being considered for a cabinet post. Or am I?!?! Here are a couple of thoughts on recent events:

  • President Biden, or someone in his administration, just committed a bona fide act of war against a nuclear power by authorizing Ukraine to use American weaponry to strike deep into Russia. The deliberate escalation of a war by a lame duck president whose party was just resoundingly rejected by the American people is unconscionable. He is risking nuclear annihilation and sacrificing the lives of thousands of Russians and Ukrainians. Why? My guess is that the Biden Administration if trying to make it impossible for Trump to exit the Ukrainian war by escalating it for the purpose of keeping the military-industrial complex fed and to protect his family’s dealings in that rotten country. If there is anything about which Biden has been consistent, it is using his power and office for personal gain.
  • Except for Gaetz and Oz, I rather like Trump’s appointments so far. The American people voted for radical change and Trump is bringing in people who are capable of delivering it. I hope they all have the stomach to see it through for the sake of our children and their children. It is going to get nasty when swaths of bureaucrats are unemployed, and the federal spigots turn off. But for the sake of our children, it needs to happen.
  • This week I visited, amongst other things, Arlington House and Mt. Vernon. Both places gave honorable recognition to the enslaved people who serviced both Lee and Washington while still honoring these complex, yet important, Americans (no, I am not equating the two men, but they are both important parts of our American story). Well done.
  • Also in D.C., it was interesting how prevalent Trump gear was. I even saw two girls in a middle school group wearing MAGA hats. For the bluest of blue cities, Trump support was surprisingly strong.
  • It is insane that some states are still counting votes. Impoverished Third World countries are laughing at us.

    President Biden…. just committed a bona fide act of war

    He also authorized the use of US-made landmines.

    Except for Gaetz and Oz, I rather like Trump’s appointments so far.

    Oz is odd, but Gaetz a full-throttle anti-swap thang, so much so that even the GOP mud crawlers are scheming against him

    The absolute worst Trump picks are Kennedy and Gabbard. Both of these nutballs are going to be absolute nightmares in a very short time.
