Musings on current politics
Editor, The Sun:
A collection of musings:
Today’s culture wars provide me with a great deal of mirth. Mainly due to nearly 50% of our fellow citizens are seemingly incapable of critical thinking and rely, primarily, on emotions.
Just a few examples:
- No Kings Protests. These protests exemplify the most idiotic of today’s current observations by folks who can’t seem to overcome emotions and reject objectivity. I proffer the following:
Where were the No Kings protesters when Obama shoved ObamaCare down our throats and threaten to fine us if we did not purchase from his pals of the insurance companies? Imagine how thrilled you would be if the federal government commanded your fellow citizens to buy only your doughnuts!
Where were these pathetic protestors when Biden commanded us to take the jab otherwise we would lose our livelihoods? - Gerrymandering. To save democracy and save the planet, one national political brand engaged in malfeasance and sleight of hand to deceive simple-minded voters that voting districts should be modified to favor one party only. If a proposal is worthy of consideration, supposedly to save democracy, why engage in malfeasance and deception?
- The Epstein files. For those fake moralists, spare me your hypocritical outrage. Where were you when Epstein was all the rage the last 20 years? You allowed grown-men into little girls’ bathrooms. Shut the Eff up!
- #47: The most energetic President in my lifetime. No, I am not going to his house for dinner and he is not coming to my house for dinner. Yet, give #47 his due, he works harder and smarter than any other President I have been acquainted with. Before you spew TDS, swallow your spittle and think of this:
His Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, may be the most effective and dominant SOS ever.
Willingness to address the Iran issue is spot-on. I don’t like paying another extra dollar for fuel but imagine what the costs would be if Iran had nukes? C’mon, imagine that.
NATO’s “shelf life” may be waning. It’s about time an American president addressed the NATO issue. If the Euros don’t think it’s worth it for them to pay for their own defense, why should we?
