Brittany Griner Back in U.S. Slams Laws Banning TG's From Competing with Women While Ridley Grains Thinks That Position Is Inane

 

Brittany Griner is a dominant figure in women’s basketball no question about that
A total shame she ignored Russian law on narcotics and for almost 10 months in a prison cell she sat
Almost from the beginning of her arrest in America an orchestrated hue and cry
That Russia illegally was holding her and in prison for 9 years she would likely die
The Biden Administration given her standing as woman’s basketball pro
Quickly down the path of negotiating a prisoner exchange path started to go
We failed to arrange and exchange for her and a U.S. former marine held as a spy
Whose release without another U.S. held prisoner for espionage Russia held fast to deny
So like the Bergdahl release where we exchanged 5 senior Taliban leaders for a deserter from his post
We were forced to offer Victor Bout, a Russian arms dealer aka “The Merchant of Death” who before his arrest Russia was his host
Whether we got the short end of the stick
And once again by our foes were outsmarted and licked
Did not cause much debate but now Brittany has weighed in on TG’s in women’s sports
Claiming it’s not fair to ban TG’s because of gender identity and such laws we should abort
Fortunately another voice of sanity has been heard
A NCAA All American woman’s swimmer who believes TG’s competing against women is absurd
I doubt Brittany was able to study biology while in prison behind bars
If she did beyond the preface or maybe table of contents did not go far
Riley Gaines is the voice of reason and sanity of not allowing TG’s to against women compete
More muscle, greater strength, larger hearts and lungs to mean in almost all pairings a woman against a TG will go down in defeat
While have massive issues that need attention
Something that affects a minute % of the population is a major distraction
The silver lining to this mess is that Riley Gaines, who will be 25 in 2024 should run as a Red to be on the House floor
Conservative beliefs, energetic, articulate and intelligent, exactly the type of young females which the party could use more.

Blinken, the Impetus Behind the Hunter Laptop Was Russian Misinformation Letter Signed by 51 Intel Experts Has Perjured Himself!

 

Secretaries of State come and go with each Administration
Charged in foreign affairs to protect the best interests of the nation
Their party affiliations may change but usually they share a common trait
Their statements are designed to conceal, confuse, disguise and obfuscate
Never to be backed into a corner by an “or else” which the chance for diplomacy eliminates
And rarely since the language is so blurred being accused of lying as a Secretary of State
Antony Blinken, homophone of 1 of the 3 fishermen in a shoe,
We now have learn is partially to blame for electing Biden so many of us rue
The infamous Hunter Biden laptop linking him to criminal acts
That would tarnish Biden’s chances unless supporters tried the Russian collusion attack
Blinken with his eyes on being the Secretary of State
Was the moving force to get 51 former intel experts to sign a letter that the Hunter laptop was replete with Russian misinformation traits
The MSM were jumping for glee
Another false Russian collusion headline for all to see
One of the reasons Trump lost and Bunker Basement Biden won
But new news that indicate Blinken’s troubles have just begun
When asked under oath if he had any contacts with Hunter Biden he vowed “no”
Probably thought he was immune and the truth on contacts no one would know
With Reds controlling the House Oversight
Guess what just came to light
Countless emails between Hunter and Blinken either directly or trying to conceal
With Blinken’s wife as the conduit it has now been revealed
No diplomatic obfuscation or diplomacy double speak can change the facts
Blinken, in pursuit of his job, perjured himself under oath to Congress by his acts.
He must be charged and this ineffective wimp should resign
While the Hunter stench enveloping Biden is becoming smellier and smellier all the time

Sing a Song of Victory over Simon and to Scott a Toast!

 Sing a Song of Victory over Simon and to a Scott a Toast
Men have been betting on sporting events since the early Olympic games
The vicarious thrill of being a part of an athlete basking in fame
The joy of hearing drachmas falling into one’s hands
A joy non risktakers, nonbettors would never understand
The betting Gods on a winner always shine
Drachmas to spend on women and wine
Today betting is easy on the phone, in person, online almost everywhere
Homage and glory to the bettor who wins and when his winnings share
Scott on a WFC bantam weight championship fight
Had a wager of 500 bucks on Song not Simon to win on a Saturday night
At the Beach Hut Deli around the horseshoe bar watching on the big screen
Song and Simon were punching, kicking and trying to wrestle down
Back and forth round and round even a low blow by Song to for almost a minute stop the round
Song was the bar favorite and the cyber cheers and yells were loud
Finally a Song blow to Simon’s head and the knees buckled and bowed
To the mat with Song on him raining blows
Defenseless the ref would no longer let the fight continue to go
Scott was a pleased winner happy as one could possibly be
And those on the stools also watching got the true measure of good patron to see
A pint of ale to all to join and share in his win
Sharing good fortune is a blessing hoarding to one’s self is a sin
May on future bets Scott always fare well
And may his fellows watching cheer so the loser fails to stand before counted out by the bell

Hunter Biden Going to Hell and High Heaven to Avoid Paying Child Support to His 44 Year Old Daughter Navy Joan--Biden's 7th Grandkid&th soouthavoidToa

 

There was a time when the MSM so hateful of Trump
Gave Biden a whole lot of rope and threw his gaffes into the dump
They must have recognized the signs of mental decay
But were united in their attempts to keep from the Oval Office Trump away
In 2016 they failed because “lying” HRC was so unliked and untrusted
With her private server, deplorables and Walmart shoppers and Benghazi deaths her campaign shine too rusted
In 2020 they had received the perfect gift
The COVID-19 pandemic that threw the economy off a cliff
Change voting procedures to absentee ballots expand
Allowed Biden to stay in basement bunker instead of campaigning in public across the land
Hampered and hindered Trump through his term with a corrupt FBI
And insurance policy of the false Steele dossier to his agenda deny
Trump’s must power and magnetic draw
Sold out campaign rallies with thousands now flawed
After 2 years of miscues, border chaos, inflation, and fentanyl
Killing thousands of American looking for new high or unknowingly taking a laced pill
The bloom on the Biden rose is starting to fade
MSM looks like they are more unwilling to accept his charade
Time to no longer ignore his gaffes or forget his cognitive is on the decline skids
For starters correct him when he praises that he has 6 grandkids
Remind him due to Hunter he has a 7^th  granddaughter age 4
And suggest since he rails against deadbeat dads on her no longer ignore

VP Harris Is Good For One Thing Insurance Policy That 25th Amendment Not Invoke To Remove Him

 Biden is so cognitively impaired he does not comprehend
That a vote for him is a vote for Harris to the Oval Office send
Or maybe he does yet with too many neurons dead
Believes that with Trump on ballot he will still come out ahead
Knowing that with the word salad queen in the VP chair
His cabinet would never vote for the 25th to send her there
Insured of 4 more years of 10 to 4 work days
Stuffing his face with ice cream and weekends on the beach to play
While his puppet handlers hold his pen hand to our values betray
And our prosperity and greatness under waves of Woke is swept away

RFK, Jr. Blasts Those Blues Who Support Biologic Male TG's Competing Against Females Who Would Destroy Title IX

 

JFK was a great president, a member of the Greatest Generation, a real hero
Compared to so many Blue politicians who when it comes to our safety are zeroes
When Khrushchev first met the young president he thought he was week
A patsy who would enable him to a nuclear outpost in Cuba be able to seek
JFK had a spine of steel who ordered for Cuba a naval blockade
The world held its breath hoping it was not for real only a charade
It was not and the Soviet freighter carrying the nuke missiles the navy was ordered to board or sink
The closest to nuclear war we have ever been but though he could pound a shoe, Khrushchev chose to blink
If JFK were alive and seeking the Blue nomination it is doubtful today that he would win
His party has moved way too far left and the principles of Mainstream America tossed into a trash bin
Robert Kennedy jumped into the race after LBJ announced he would not run for a second term
Kennedy sadly after winning the California primary was shot so the kind of president he might have been we could not learn
His son running against Biden is more to the center like the Blues once were
Outspoken critic of those Blues who are OK with TG’s competing against girls that end of Title IX would insure
For nation’s best interest Reds must dump Trump and Blues dump Biden back into his basement
Time more a more mentally alert high energy centrist to the White House be sent
RFK, Jr. nominated would be the Obama Coalition’s last hurrah
We could start to return to our core values and the rule of law.

First Republic Likely to Be Seized This Weekend How Many More Regional Banks on Seizure Tracks

 

As First Republic Bank’s stock price sank
A run on deposits by depositors putting it into the tank
$30 billion deposited last month by major banks to calm the run
Evaporated quicker than a puddle of water in the Death Valley Sun
Before the weekend is over look to the 13^th largest bank to be seized
Paying too much for deposits making too many loans on its last wheeze
Feds tried and failed to find a buyer
Only alternative is to let bank expire
Shareholders will be wiped out
Depositors over $250K may be out scout
A good number of its employees will out on the street
What happens when unsound banking practices cause it to a run meet
Look for Warren and her leftist minions to complain
That the feds did not unsound practices pull back on the reins
If yearend bonuses were paid to executives look for cries to claw back
How many more banks are barreling down the seizure tracks?
Cruz’s bill to abolish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
With this closing and maybe more coming may have been hit by a fatal blow

Biden’s new “tax” will go into effect on May 1 which will require borrowers with good credit scores to pay more for their loans to subsidize borrowers with lower credit scores with one estimate that a $400,000 mortgage will cost $40 more a month and the group most likely hit will be Asian Americans who have the highest average FICO scores yet surprisingly have higher mortgage denial rates than white Americans.  There may be some sanity finally taking hold of even Blue Senators as Biden’s 24 month delay of tariffs on Chinese solar panels may be overturned as finally we are waking up to the existential threat China poses to us on all fronts and in all regions. Given China’s dominance in batteries and solar panels, proponents of the Green New Dead head long rush to implement seem to be missing that most of the green American dollars will be going to China. The ASPCA whose commercials on abused cats and dogs do not fail to bring tears to viewers and a rush to grab credit cards to donate is sitting on millions of dollars, pays its president almost a $1 million a year and has 259 employees that take home 6 figure incomes yet donates a paltry 2% to local animal shelters despite the fact far too many dogs and cats are being euthanized.

           Philip Zimbardo on the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison “Whether we consider Nazi Germany or Abu Ghraib prison, there were many people who observed what was happening and said nothing. At Abu Ghraib, one photo shows two soldiers smiling before a pyramid of naked prisoners while a dozen other soldiers stand around watching passively. If you observe such abuses and don't say, "This is wrong! Stop it!" you give tacit approval to continue. You are part of the silent majority that makes evil deeds more acceptable.”

It may not reach the notoriety of Watergate or Bridgegate but in view of the legitimate concerns of voters that Biden’s cognitive weakness makes him unfit, Crib Gate has surfaced with photos of Biden holding crib sheets detailing the question of a Los Angeles Times reporter and answers to the question. The paper has denied that its reporter gave the question to the White House so it will interesting to see if on one of his rare press conferences Biden continues to have crib sheets of question and answers. At a formal reception at the White House after Biden and the President of South Korea met to discuss means of curtailing North Korea’s growing nuclear threat,  Yoon Suk Yeol awed the audience with his rendition of that Don McClean classic “American Pie”. Senator Cruz and Red Texas Rep Bryon Daniels are introducing a bill to eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which, despite the need for it, will hand to the Blues on a silver platter another false issue to destroy consumers’ rights to the bogus claims that Reds want to cut Social Security and cut Medicare. Nashville Police have still not released the manifesto of Audrey Hale, the killer of 6 people at the Covenant School but are insisting they will but have not indicated a deadline. On Take Your Children to Work Day, Biden waxed eloquently on his 6 grandchildren but once again refused to mention his 7^th Navy Joan Roberts, who Hunter had with ex-stripper Lunden Roberts who is suing Hunter for child support in an Arkansas court where he is trying to modify the amount. Retailers across the nation are losing billions of dollars to shoplifters and are closing stores in high crime urban areas and locking goods behind plexiglass doors which Target is expanding the size of in its stores. In NBA playoff action, Jimmy Butler of the Heat, took an inbound pass and almost on his back tied the game which they would win in overtime.

           Noted Holidays: Poem In Your Pocket Day: created in April 2002 by the Office of the Mayor in New York City, in partnership with the city’s Departments of Cultural Affairs and Education to promote the acceptance and dissemination of poetry and held on a different day in April which is Poetry month. So easy to celebrate by copying a poem that is your favorite and read it during the day to clear your mind of stress and uncertainty.
           Word of the Day:  The word of the day is “analects” which means crumbs that that fall from the table which is how Pelosi characterized the Trump tax  cuts for the middle class during the pandemic recession.

          5.    2018—North Korea and South Korea signed the Panmunjom Declaration declaring their intention to end the Korean War hostilities between the two nations which declaration from the standpoint of the North is not worth the paper it is printed on as North Korea continues to pursue its goal to have nuclear weapons and the ability to deliver them.
          Famous Quotes on Events and Issues:
          Larry Elder on how to enter the middle class: “The formula for achieving middle-class success is simple: Finish high school; don't have a child before the age of 20; and get married before having the child.” Wise and proven thoughts with the corollary that to stay in the middle class avoid divorce or go into a prenuptial that keeps lawyers out of the process so their fees do not devastate the assets of the parties to the divorce.

Biden has two massive drags on his campaign, one he can cut lose from and the other somewhat impossible. Kamala Harris and her cackling and chuckling and word salad coupled with the fact that the odds of Biden living out a second term are probably not very good and he should replace her (would not want to see any acts by him to improve his chances but if Trump is on the ticket an anti-Trump fervor still alive and well will go to the polls in droves and since I value country would suggest someone like Karen Bass, Mayor of Los Angeles ) The other is son Hunter whose connections with China will become increasingly problematic along with his other legal issues as an IRS whistleblower has come forward asking for protection due to the alleged mishandling of the investigation by the IRS. Maybelline marketing executives may have been asleep and missed Bud Lights’ boycott inducing ad fiasco, but the cosmetic powerhouse has announced its partnership with TG Dylan Mulvaney. It is still early in the gaffes during presidential campaign cycle but Blues seem to be closing ranks in support of the Biden/Harris ticket on the issue of his age. 2 Virginia Commonwealth lawmakers, Monty Mason, a father with 2 daughters, and Shelly Simonds, a mother with 2 daughters, were caught on a hot mic railing against parents’ rights in the education of their children (like Animal Farm where all parents are equal but elected lawmaker parents are more equal). Biden desperate to conceal his cognitive decline was caught with a crib sheet and the question the first reporter would ask him.

True to its typical concealment mode the Soviet Union did not alert Europe to the disaster until radiation counters in Scandinavia started spiking. 5. 1994—South Africa held its first multi-racial election to fill the 400 seats of the National Assembly which started on this day and lasted for 3 days. Nelson Mandela’s party won with almost 63% of the vote and after bringing to minority parties elected Nelson Mandela as president.

In terms of carbon emissions per ton per mile, it emits about a thousandth of aviation and about a tenth of trucking. But it's not benign, because there's so much of it.

Kamala Harris and her cackling and chuckling and word salad coupled with the fact that the odds of Biden living out a second term are probably not very good and he should replace her (would not want to see any acts by him to improve his chances but if Trump is on the ticket an anti-Trump fervor still alive and well will go to the polls in droves and since I value country would suggest someone like Karen Bass, Mayor of Los Angeles ) The other is son Hunter whose connections with China will become increasingly problematic along with his other legal issues as an IRS whistleblower has come forward asking for protection due to the alleged mishandling of the investigation by the IRS. Maybelline marketing executives may have been asleep and missed Bud Lights’ boycott inducing ad fiasco, but the cosmetic powerhouse has announced its partnership with TG Dylan Mulvaney. It is still early in the gaffes during presidential campaign cycle but Blues seem to be closing ranks in support of the Biden/Harris ticket on the issue of his age. 2 Virginia Commonwealth lawmakers, Monty Mason, a father with 2 daughters, and Shelly Simonds, a mother with 2 daughters, were caught on a hot mic railing against parents’ rights in the education of their children (like Animal Farm where all parents are equal but elected lawmaker parents are more equal). Biden desperate to conceal his cognitive decline was caught with a crib sheet and the question the first reporter would ask him. Where is the Gene McCarthy of the Blues that realize the American public in their choices deserve better? (Robert Kennedy, Jr. like his father against LBJ and the Vietnam War has stepped in but his speaking skills are atrocious).

In terms of carbon emissions per ton per mile, it emits about a thousandth of aviation and about a tenth of trucking. But it's not benign, because there's so much of it. So shipping emissions are about three to four percent, almost the same as aviation's.”

Our oldest president Joe Biden at 80 has announced with Kamala Harris the 2 will be running for reelection (watch for an increasing clamor before the Democratic convention to nominate their candidate that he undergo a cognitive function test). The Woke Warriors have claimed another victim
this time for in another record shattering movie Mario Bros Super Movie, there isa character named “Blackie” for his dark black hair whose name has been changed to “Spike” so blacks are not offended. Seems like only yesterday in silents “Boston Blackie” a reformed jewel thief who became a detective  was on the screen from 1918-1927 in silent movies before  the character was resurrected in the “talkies” from 1941 -1949, (Nintendo must have become more thinner skinned and politically correct to change the name).  In addition to the unvetted felons and drug dealers coming across our open border, Reds outraged over the human trafficking that is occurring on our porous border may be vindicated by a whistleblower who will claim that our government is acting as the “middleman” as the number of unaccompanied minors has risen from 33,239 in fiscal 2020 to over 146,000 in fiscal 2021 with 70,000 so far in fiscal 2023. Corks will be popping in CPD precinct stations and sighs of relief in black neighborhoods that have turned into shooting galleries day and night,  Chicago’s State Attorney who was elected thanks to the donations of George Soros has stated she is not running for reelection. In the New York Marathon in November Glenique Frank ran as Glen but in the London Marathon this transgender ran as woman to finish in 6160th place out of 20123 women who participated to finish ahead of 13,963 women.

Biden Announced He Is Running As a Majority of His Party Do Not Want Him In the Race--Too Old, Too Mentally Weak

 

The suspense is over as Biden and Harris have announced the are in a reelection run
The mantra will be to finish the job not of making America great but to continue the divisiveness he launched from day one
Biden announced “I know America” when too often he doesn’t know where he is at
Or the names of noted guests with whom he worked with for years or just sat
This cognitively impaired president with the word salad cackling queen at his side
At 82 if he’s sworn in wants us to believe he is up to halt America’s ebbing tide
Already framing the campaign around abortion on demand, Reds cutting social security and banning books
The real issues Americans care about—his age, open borders, illegal drugs, violent crime, inflation, and looming recession not even a glancing look
The hidden benefit of dementia is that one remembers little of what he read
And even less of what people voicing opinions about his running again have said
A majority of members of his own party do not want 4 more Biden years
And the idea of the word salad queen stepping in on his death generates great fear
Trump is a fighter and a super ego to fill any room
Doubt he has taken to heart and learned from the legal issues that may spell his doom
Other that the plantation voters stuck in habits impossible to break
Voters voted not for Biden but rather against Trump having another term to take
Most of his policies were and will continue to be where this nation should go
But his personality baggage will make in impossible to on him another term bestow
Trump was on the ballot in 2022
A year which Reds should have swept away the Blues
But too many candidates were backed by Trump and mantra of a stolen election fogged the air
Now more than ever before we must not reelect Biden which unless he strokes we will if Trump running is there

Parents must man barricades to ban CRT, Woke, Gender Identity and the idea that kids belong to the state

 

Biden must be thinking with Hunter’s infusion of CCP linked cash
That the role of parents in upbringing is old fashioned to be shed with the trash
Like the East German Stassi, parents can only get in the way of the state
The entity that should have the last word in any upbringing debate
Not the parents with parental love and affection but the state
God help us if his ideas are even partially adopted to its power grab sate
The latest war on our soils to be fought is for the control of our children’s minds and thought
Public education has become corrupted with woke, equity, diversity and inclusion being taught
Preschool students if white are being CRT spoon fed
Ideas that values of their parents must be discarded and shed
The idea of a nuclear family does not fit their idea of the needing a higher goal
One that is devoid of religion where the ideas of the state replace the soul
This is a war that parents must win to send the woke warriors back to the sewers where they belong
Parents showing up at schoolboard meetings where the woke ideas must be fought because they are wrong
Biden is out to lunch even if his feeble mind cannot comprehend
Parents must put an end to the woke, gender identity and CRT trend
Parents must know where school board candidates on issues stand
If not in accord with parents’ values and ideas on what’s best for their kids dismissed out of hand

Another Day in Public and Another Day of Biden Mental Gaffes Female Congresswoman Becomes Jonah Not Jahana

 

As a devout but too often misguided Catholic, we would think
Even as Biden’s approval ratings continue to sink
That he would remember the story of Jonah swallowed by the whale
But no at a White House ceremony once again his cognitive ability seemed to fail
Congresswoman Jahana  Hayes a teacher of the year before she ran for Congress
Was noted by him as he asked her to stand as he not Johanna but Jonah addressed
Maybe in the Blue world that believes that how you identify determines your sex
May have thought she was now a he and missing a teleprompter correct text
Earlier he touted that half of the women in his Administration are female
Did he mean that the other half were in transition that had failed?
Biden’s mental decline seems each time in public is getting worse
He is going to announce tomorrow if will run delusionally thinking he is free of the dementia curse
We are going to be hard pressed to recover from even two more Biden years
Where allies no longer trust us and foes have long ago lost their fears
His slogan will be evidently “Finish the job”
When it is to our prosperity and world standing rob
As much as the Word Salad Cackling Queen would be a disaster
With a strong moderate VP like Manchin, the Oval Office she might mostly master
Anyone who Biden is up to the challenge of the Oval Office believes
Is living in a fantasy world blind to the chaos and danger each day in office he will achieve

Lemon Given Pink Slip at CNN--What Took Them So Long?

 

Finally CNN came to its senses on its path to become again where the news it would report
That with “journalists” like Don Lemon whose bias would make his reporting come up short
Bias against Trump and misogyny no longer sells
Lemon was exposed trying to draw water from an empty well
His ratings remained in the tank
His relations with his female cohosts sank
Calling Nikki Haley past her prime could have been the straw that broke CNN’s back
Like the proverbial car that is a lemon his reliability was shown to lack
Haley may be many things but past her prime she is clearly not
But Lemon came across as a has been unable to draw in the audience he sought
Sadly,  Licht still has at CNN a large pile
Of biased advocacy journalists spreading bile
We wish him in his endeavor the best
If he succeeds good chance leaders at  MSNBC’s will its rush to the left arrest.

A picture is worth 1000 words as Chuck Schumer and NYC Mayor Adams are seen at an event with recently arrested Chinese Government (CCP) spy Lu Jianwang who in recent revelations contributed at least $32,625 to Adams’ and Hochul’s campaign (Blues evidently have learned nothing from the Fang Fang Eric Swalwell scandal). Matt Taibbi the journalist who has exposed the influence of the FBI in trying to censor conservative voices and news damaging to the White House on Twitter in the pre Musk free speech revival days and who has been threaten by a leading Blue House Member with a bogus and unfounded perjury claim asked the MSM what their reaction would be in Reds had threatened Jim Acosta with perjury—total meltdown. The negative fall back from Anheuser Busch’s relationship with Dylan Mulvaney continues unabated as Republican women governors are introducing “Real Women” koozies blasting those who do not know difference between “real” and “fake” as the brilliant marketing guy who dreamed up the promotion with Dylan has taken a leave of absence. In a rare bipartisan event the House voted to reverse Biden’s executive order waiving tariffs on Chinese solar panels for 2 years which signed bowing to environmental groups making us more of a hostage to China’s near monopoly on solar panels. The cracks in the dam supporting a Biden reelection are getting more pronounced each day as the NYT intoned that he should seriously take into consideration voters’ growing concerns over his age as he is expected to announce his decision on running tomorrow. The FBI is in hot water once again, accused of stalling the release of the Nashville shooter, Audrey Hale’s journals and the information on 5 laptops and suicide note.

          Famous Quotes on Events and Issues:
          Perry Anderson, noted British historian on the Armenian Genocide: “Not coincidentally, another who noted their extermination was Hitler, who had a first-hand witness of it among his closest associates in Munich. The former German consul in Erzerum, Max von Scheubner-Richter, reported to his superiors in detail on the ways they were wiped out. A virulent racist, who became manager of the early Nazi Kampfbund and the party’s key liaison with big business, aristocracy and the church, he fell to a shot while holding hands with Hitler in the Beerhall putsch of 1923. ‘Had the bullet which killed Scheubner-Richter been a foot to the right, history would have taken a different course,’ Ian Kershaw remarks. Hitler mourned him as ‘irreplaceable’. Invading Poland 16 years later, he would famously ask his commanders, referring to the Poles, but with obvious implications for the Jews: ‘Who now remembers the Armenians?’ The Third Reich did not need the Turkish precedent for its own genocides. But that Hitler was well aware of it, and cited its success to encourage German operations, is beyond question. Whoever has doubted the comparability of the two, it was not the Nazis themselves.”

Word Salad Queen VP Harris At It Again With Federal Drug Administration

 

When VP Harris speaks as the reigning the Word Salad Queen
What you get are chuckles or cackles dressing covering rotted verbal greens
She was lauding SCOTUS of its ruling about the mifepristone case
Overruling a lower banning its sale until lower courts could rule on its safety to banning sales base
Cited the approval of a nonexistent agency which she called the Federal Drug Administration
Ignored that the acronym FDA stands for Food and Drug Administration as its proper appellation
Not missing a beat she went on to call on her listeners to in their cabinets look
At the prescription drugs for various diseases and ailments they took
To warn that medications established by the FDA to be safe to take
Could be in the future like mifepristone be banned which would be  a big mistake
Ignoring the fact that the FDA is not beyond reproach when a drug’s safety it validates
The proof of which were the babies born from thalidomide taking moms in a armless or legless state

There is one objective: Neutralize the shooters. Stop them or kill them.”

In the Biden world, Equity rules and Responsibility drools as his administration in an era of increasing mortgage interest rates a requirement that borrowers with good credit pay more to subsidize those borrowers with poor credit.  If you have any concern over the falling test score in public education as a reflection of the quality of the teachers and/or the content of the scholastic activities, no surprise that at Kennewick, Washington the one Evergreen State now more like the Ever Left State Desert Hills Middle School had a tongue licking contest during a pep rally licking marshmallow cream on a plexiglass window (parental outrage after the event reached social media prompted a quasi-serious apology from the principal). Senator Fetterman has returned from his months-long depression induced stay a hospital but in his remarks to a committee he chairs his halting address he read did not remove any doubts over the extent of recovery from his stroke. Robert Kennedy, Jr. who has announced he is a candidate to replace Biden like his father before him running to end a war to castigate the open ended nature of our involvement in Ukraine has garnered the support of iconic Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers. On the vaccine front the CDC has just approved a second booster for those over 65 or who have compromised immune systems and WHO has announced a vaccine for Malaria which it works as hoped would be a Godsend for that diseased plagued continent.

Sadly his Revolutionary War Hero did not live to see our independence, dying from tuberculosis.
          Word of the Day:  The word of the day is “amphibology” which means ambiguous language or words that could have dual meaning which too often describes the language used by diplomats which is susceptible to concealing intentions and miscalculations leading to wars.
         Number 1 Song: The number 1 song on this day in 2009 was “ Boom Boom Pow” by Black Eyed Peas on a run of 12 weeks to be followed by another number 1 song “I Gotta Feeling” on a run of 14 weeks to be number one for 26 continuous weeks.

           Noted Events on April 19:
           1.   1983—200 FBI and ATF agents surrounded the compound of the ultra right survivalist group the Covenant,  the Sword and the Arm of the Lord (“CSA”) located on 224 acres abutting Bull Shoals Lake in Marion County Arkansas led by Jim Ellison had a reduced membership of some 70 zealots dedicated to the belief that doomsday was coming and that the government would collapse due to corruption and divine intervention. They assemble a large cache of firearms, some illegal and practice combat drills in the compound. Their acquisition of weapons and the murder of a black policeman by one of their members put them on the FBI’s and ATF’s radar who with 300 agents many passing themselves off as fisherman, surrounded the compound by land and by water to announce they were ready to negotiate a peaceful surrender. After 3 days of negotiations and their morale devastated by a lack of divine intervention and other right wing groups coming to their aid, they surrender without a shot being fired. In September, 1985 Ellison was sentenced to 20 years and 6 other leaders of CSA were sentence to long prison terms and CSA was disbanded. Ellison was released from prison in 1987 in exchange for testifying against 7 leaders of the Aryan Brother who were all acquitted of the charges against them. Snell was convicted of the murder of the black policeman and ironically was executed the same day of the Oklahoma City bombing. Sadly, the FBI and ATF must not have learned much on how to successfully negotiate a surrender to minimize bloodshed of their agents and the criminals when they in 1993 in their attack of the Branch Davidian Compound set it on fire killing 76 people including 28 children which was the main reason why the Oklahoma City Bombing occurred in retaliation.
        2.  1995— On the second year anniversary of the FBI’s assault on the Branch Davidian Compound at Waco, Texas; the Alfred P. Murray Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed by a Ryder Rental Truck packed with explosives parked in front of the building was detonated to kill 168 people including 16 children under the age of 6 in the nursery for children of the federal employees and wounded 680. The perpetrators Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were quickly caught, tried and convicted with Nichols being sentenced to life without possibility of parole and McVeigh being sentence to death which was carried out on June 11, 2001 by lethal injection.
           3.   1999—The Reunification of East and West Germany having occurred after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the German Parliament, the Bundestag having been moved to Bonn after World War II returned to Berlin.
           4.    2020—Royal Canadian Mounted Police shot and killed Gabriel Wortman at an Irving Big Stop Service Station in Enfield, Nova Scotia  where had stopped to refuel thereby ending Canada’s worst mass shooting and arson spree that had started the night before and resulted in 22 people killed, 3 wounded and 16 fires set. The response to the mass shooting by Premier Trudeau, not subject to a 4^th Amendment, was quick as he immediately banned  1,500 makes and models of "military-grade assault-style weapons, including the types used in the attacks.
             5.    2021—The solar powered helicopter Ingenuity became the first helicopter to fly on another planet, Mars. It has since as of today made 50 flights exploring the Martian surface all controlled back here on Earth.
             Famous Quotes on Events and Issues:

             Timothy McVeigh, "An Essay on Hypocrisy" Media Bypass magazine, June, 1998 “Hypocrisy when it comes to death of children? In Oklahoma City, it was family convenience that explained the presence of a day-care center placed between street level and the law enforcement agencies which occupied the upper floors of the building. Yet when discussion shifts to Iraq, any day-care center in a government building instantly becomes "a shield." Think about that.”
            (Actually, there is a difference here. The administration has admitted to knowledge of the presence of children in or near Iraqi government buildings, yet they still proceed with their plans to bomb -- saying that they cannot be held responsible if children die. There is no such proof, however, that knowledge of the presence of children existed in relation to the Oklahoma City bombing.)”

Suns Come Back from a 13 point hole in the first to win game 2 123-109 to even the series at 1-1

 

It was once said the Sun on the British Empire never set
In sports it is hoped that the Sun setting  on the Suns not ready yet
In Phoenix after an opening lost early in game two
It looked like the Suns’ chances in the playoffs were through
In the first half at times the Clippers of L.A.
Were up by 13 and seeing a total eclipse on display
But the eclipse was short lived and the Suns went on a closing 23-10 run
To come out in the second half like they had been shot out of a gun
Another lopsided scoring run this time 12 to 2
And it looked like the Clippers hoped for eclipse was through
The Clippers managed to claw back to close the lead to 4
But with Booker and Craig feasting on 3's the lead again soared
All 5 Suns starters were in the double figures parade
And the at the deadline Durant trade received an A grade
25 points to go with Booker’s 38 to win with 123-104 score
To go forward tied with their winning confidence restored

It what is becoming more and more prevalent in election cycles that the ends justify the means, the special counsel appointed to investigate the matter found that Xavier Becerra violated the Hatch Act by campaigning for Blue Senator Padilla’s reelection in his official capacity. The penalty for violations of the Hatch Act includes removal from federal service, reduction in grade, debarment from federal employment for a period not to exceed 5 years, suspension, reprimand, or a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000. 5 U.S.C. § 7326(2). (don’t hold your breath thinking Biden will ask for his resignation). Our DHHS Secretary must be from the Mayorkas School of Disinformation as he refused despite repeat after repeat of Senator Cassidy’s simple question of how many employees were teleworking rather that working in their offices (probably was emboldened by the vote of 205 House Blues against the  Stopping Home Office Work’s Unproductive Problems Act, which passed in the house 221-206). 16 year old black Ralph Yarl who went to the wrong home to pick up his siblings and was shot twice by the 84 year old homeowner with a .32 caliber revolver who thought that Yarl  was trying break in (fortunately Yarl has not died and is recovering from his wound probably enhanced by a call from President Biden wishing him a speedy recovery (doubt if any of the black residents of Chicago who are shot by blacks which is the norm have received any presidential concerned call). Senator Feinstein, suffering from Shingles had asked Senator Schumer to appoint an interim senator to take her place until she is able to return which the Reds refused to consent to meaning any Biden nominees to federal courts will have to be more to the middle and less to the left in order to get at least one Red vote to proceed to the Senate floor for a confirmation vote. It looks like the Blues are the party waging a war on women as Biden has thrown down the gauntlet that he will veto the  Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which will pass the House and probably not the Senate, if it comes to his desk a veto threat to toss red meat to the LGBTQ community which has resulted in a scathing rebuke by Riley Gaines that he is bowing to a radical minority of less than 1 % of the population at the expense of th 51% that are women.

             Famous Quotes on Events and Issues:

            Bill Barr, Attorney General of the United States commenting of the Mueller Report:                         On  conspiracy: "[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."
             On obstruction: "The Special Counsel states that 'while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.' ... Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel's investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense." 

             On the full Mueller report: "[T]he schedule for processing the report depends in part on how quickly the Department can identify the 6e material that by law cannot be made public. I have requested the assistance of the Special Counsel in identifying all 6e information contained in the report. Separately, I must also identify any information that could impact other ongoing matters, including those that the Special Counsel has referred to other offices. As soon as that process is complete, I will be in a position to move forward expeditiously in determining what can be released in light of applicable law, regulations, and Departmental policies."
