New American China Policy Enunciated By Biden -- Incomprehensible

 In the past the USA has had certain policies that were strategically vague.  Our adversaries were not supposed to know what the USA would do in certain important circumstances.

President Biden has modified this.  Now American foreign policy operates under a strategic incomprehensibility.  Not only do our adversaries not know what we would do in certain situations; now we ourselves don't know what we would do in most situations.

Biden was speaking about China and Taiwan.  Long-standing American policy is to keep vague whether US troops would defend Taiwan were Beijing to invade.  Biden said that we would deploy troops, but within an hour or two explained that our policy remained unchanged. Huh?

Hey, it's only a small country, right.  Taiwan can't matter right?

Biden is an incompetent moron --- RIGHT

Steps By Biden and the Dems to Stop Inflation Do NOT Exist

 Ass i write this, the biggest problem facing the US economy is inflation.  It started zooming upward about six months after Biden took office.  America was told not to worry: inflation was transitory.  Meanwhile, since it was supposedly transitory, inflation did not give rise to any counter measures by Biden or the Democrats.

After six months of transitory inflation, it was undeniable that inflation was gathering force rather than disappearing as the Biden transitory meme predicted.  At that point, one would have expected Bid or the Democrats in Congress to do something to fight this economic scourge.  But they haven't done anything.  Biden's sole move to fight inflation came after oil and natural gas prices doubled.  Biden could have resumed the Trump policies that led to a major growth in production of American oil and gas; that alone would have undone nearly all the increase in energy prices.  But no, Biden instead chose to release oil from our emergency reserves of oil.  That stopped the increase for now, but in a  few months when the reserves run out, we will see a major jump in prices once again.  Instead of putting out the fire, Biden and the Dems just tamped it down a bit so that it can come back stronger later.

Other than releasing oil reserves, Biden has done nothing to fight inflation.  NOTHING!!!!! 

The Dems and Biden always have someone else to blame for anything that goes wrong.  It doesn't matter if their statements are true, they always blame someone else.  It's hard to imagine anyone accepting the excuses pouring from Biden when he hasn't done anything

I predict that inaction in confronting inflation will be the undoing of the Biden administ6ration and Dem control of Congress.

Lies And More Lies About Abortion

 A short time ago, I saw a story on Instagram posted by a woman who runs PR for a large company.  She reported that a new brief from Justice Alito and Barrett discloses that they want to stop abortion in order to solve the shortage of babies available for adoption in the USA.  This is idiotic nonsense.  First, the only document that has been leaked from the Supreme Court is a draft of an opinion written in February by Judge Alito.  I've read the entire document; it says nothing about adoption at all.  It's a legal opinion, not a political argument.  In other words, the Instagram story is reporting a complete lie.

Further, Justices don't write briefs.  They just write opinions.  That makes clear also that her Instagram story is a lie.

Lastly, the Justices are legal scholars.  Alito would never base a constitutional argument on a political position.

It's crazy that responsible people fall for these lies

The Abortion Battle

 Someone leaked a draft of a possible decision from the Supreme Court in which the decision in Roe v. Wade is overturned. It returns control of abortion to the states. The media is doing its usual hysterical rant this time how such a decision would end a woman’s right to choose. As usual, the media hysteria is nonsense. States will decide the matter. In other words, women in NY, California and other similar places will see no limitation on abortions. Some states will place limits on abortions which won’t mean much. Others may ban abortions but they won’t be many. Further, if one state bans the procedure, most women can just go to the next state that allows it. Instead of 9 Justices in DC d egg coding for everyone (with no valid legal basis) elected state legislators will decide. If voters are unhappy they can just vote in new legislators. It’s called Democracy 

I guess the operative phrase here should be CALM DOWN

Let's try something new. Predictions for 2022

 Since the year is just starting, I think it is worthwhile to predict how the elections will turn out in November of this year.  If you want to make a prediction as to the outcome, just do so in the comments.

Here are my predictions for the midterm elections.

Senate:  Republicans pick up four seats from the following states:  NH, NV, AZ, CO, MN and GA.  Democrats fail to pick up even a single GOP seat.  Net results GOP has a 54-46 majority. 

House:  Gop picks up a net of 56 seats and takes control of this chamber.

Governors - GOP picks up three states but loses one, net result is a pickup of 2.

Good luck -- but I'm right.

The Dems Actually Lose Their Minds

 I don't post much anymore.  I am too busy dealing with life and just don't have time to comment on the political scene.  Today, however, I read a column by Democrat Doug Schoen in the Wall Street Journal that cannot be ignored.  Schoen presents what he thinks are clear, rational and convincing arguments why Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for the Democrats in 2024.

Think about this for a minute.  "Hillary in 24" is about as sensible as "Catch COVID for weight loss".  Clinton is a loser.  She managed to lose in 2016 even though she had the support of a united party and media.  She managed to lose despite a spate of scandals that hit Donald Trump.  She managed to lose ungraciously, failing even to show up on election night to concede once her loss was clear.  She ran a nasty campaign, tagging her opponents as unAmerican or unpatriotic.  She was a lazy candidate who seemed to have more affinity for day drinking than she did for the American people.  As I said, Clinton is a loser.

The truth is that I would like to see America make a rational choice in 2024 between the chaotic vision of the Democrats and the reality of the GOP view.  Clinton may be the best person to bring that about, so maybe it will be good for the USA if she runs as the Dem candidate.  

Inflation? Who cares, say the Dems

 The USA is experiencing inflation of a sort not seen for about 40 years.  Prices are soaring but old Joe Biden says not to worry.  The price rises will slow and stop at some point in the future according to geriatric Joe.  The Dems and their support chorus in the mainstream media all repeat that "defense".

Are they kidding?  If you spend $40,000 per year on necessities for your family and inflation hits 6%, you need an extra $2400 or $200 per month just to buy the same stuff in the following year.  If inflation ends, that extra $2400 stays every year.  If inflation just slows, then the $2400 grows larger and larger each year.  Now if you're a millonaire Dem in the White House or Congress, you don't care cause the $2400 is penny ante stuff.  For the average American, however, this is a big big big problem.  The Dems' telling us all not to worry while doing nothing to end the problem is really nothing than another big lie from Biden and the Dems.  Do they really think they can fool us all?

Let's go Brandon!
