I need to make a list. I get an idea from time to time, and then I usually forget to follow up on that idea. I think I'm more productive when I have a list to work from. I try not to go grocery shopping without one, so I know lists work. I also know how I typically forget to get one or more items while shopping when I don't have a list. I think that's God's way of telling me to make a list. I get ideas while riding my bike from time to time that I try not to forget by the time I arrive back home. The fact that I have to try to remember the ideas tells you a lot about how likely it is that I won't remember them by the time I get home. In fact, the harder I try to remember something, the more likely it is that I won't remember it. All of that is also true when it comes to having subject matter for this here journal.
I bought a new microwave through Amazon the other day. It should arrive sometime today. I don't know how these big box, or brick-and-mortar stores, stay in business. I knew what kind of microwave I wanted, but I had zero interest in finding out which store locally carried that particular brand of microwave. Why bother when I can sit down at my computer and have the thing on my doorstep in two days' time? I save both gas and time, and I get 5% back on my purchase to boot when I make the purchase with an Amazon credit card. Amazon had the unit I wanted on sale, so the decision to pull the trigger was easy peasy. The unit has no particular bells and whistles that I was interested in, but it was a seemingly more reliable unit than the one we now have sitting on our counter, so into my Amazon cart it went. I never did warm up to our old microwave. It might have had something to do with the fact that you could not see the insides of the unit when you were making something.
I saw a story in the media the other day about a tranny winning a beauty contest. We're not talking about some local yokel beauty contest. It was the Miss Netherlands beauty contest. I thought to myself, you have got to be kidding. I mean, talk about dystopia. It's absolutely Bizzaro land. Give the guy credit for winning the contest, but what the hell does it say about our cultural state of affairs these days when this guy walks away with a trophy intended for a female recipient? I have to assume that the "Miss" in Miss Netherlands means they're wanting to crown a female at the end of the day and not a man who thinks he's a woman. Carry this out to the extreme for a moment. Just humor me. Will we ever get to the point in these so-called pageants where women simply need not apply? May the best tranny win? I can even do this without the homophobic overlay because that's how insane it is. My apologies to the women in the pageant because they deserve better. I don't know how they fight back, but they need to figure this one out and figure it out quickly. Do not let it become the norm. It will never be the norm. Not now, not ever.
Does this have anything to do with Prime Minister Mark Rutte from the Netherlands stepping down? I know squat about the Netherlands, and I'm not sure I could find it on a map if my life depended on it. That said, I've heard a lot about Dutch farmers recently and their battles against their government which allegedly wants to kill their cattle and take over their farms. I've heard that it has something to do with Climate Change and the threats to the environment caused by large herds of bovine. I've also heard stories about the government in the Netherlands wanting to evict farmers from their farms in order to provide housing, shelter, and accommodation for illegal aliens. We've all seen the photos of the processions of farm tractors blocking major highways in and out of major cities in the Netherlands. This is how farmers fight back. It's less about torches and pitchforks and more about John Deere farm machinery when it comes time to push back against these cults like globalism and the climate change nutters. Whatever it is, it seems to be working. Good riddance, mother fucker. I'm talking to you, Mark Rutte.
Am I the only one having difficulty following the pieces on the chessboard when it comes to threats, both international and national? Last week the US announced that we were sending Ukraine cluster bombs. Today, I'm reading that France is going to be sending long-distance missiles to Ukraine for use against Russia. I'm guessing that these missiles can reach Moscow in a matter of seconds and not minutes when launched from Ukraine. Sweden and Finland have now joined NATO, which, if I'm not mistaken, is what Putin has been trying to avoid from day one. His preference is to weaken or fragment NATO, not strengthen it. As of this morning, India is saying that they want no part of the plan that has the BRIC countries coming up with their own currency as a bulwark against the sanctions and strongarming of the West. This may put a dagger through the heart of countries like China and Russia, who had hoped to use their latest affiliation to fight back against the hegemony of the US and their allies. And last, but not least, you have Kim's sister in North Korea threatening the United States with retaliation of sorts should our airplanes invade their airspace. Oh, and I think Iran is days, not months, away from having enough fissile material to make a nuclear bomb. Israel, are you listening?
If I'm sitting in Israel watching all of this come to pass in Iran, and considering the fact that Biden has not invited Netanyahu to the White House as yet while inviting leftists like Lula from Brazil, I'd be more than a little concerned. You've got these leftist hacks from Biden's White House working behind the scenes with their counterparts in Iran to come up with a new version of the JCPOA. You know, the same JCPOA that Trump canceled when he was president because it was not in Israel's best interests. Biden and his stooges couldn't care less about what's in Israel's best interests. Reading between the lines and knowing that the people working on this JCPOA thing are not involving Congress in the machinations, I can only surmise that this does not bode well for Israel. Thankfully, Israel is perfectly fine with doing what they need to do to keep their country safe with or without the sanctioning of the United States. The challenge for Israel may be getting at these nuclear devices on Iran's soil, which are likely buried stories deep beneath Iran's deserts.
I suppose I'll have to go and see this movie everyone's talking about entitled "Sound of Freedom." When I first heard of this movie, I was disinclined to go see a movie dealing with the subject of child trafficking. Anything dealing with the sexualization and trafficking of children is just not the kind of stuff I want to think about, much less go to see in a local theater. There isn't much that gets my dander up, but child molestation is one of those subjects that comes pretty darn close. When I think about child molestation and sexual crimes against children I think about the fact that we have a president of the United States who, according to his own daughter who kept a journal detailing these events, took showers with her when she was 11-12 years of age. Then I think about the fact that this very same president, one Joseph Biden, who not only condones but encourages and enables the mass migration of children of all ages into our country with full knowledge of the sexual crimes they are forced to endure not only while en route north to our country, but just as likely or maybe more likely once they reach American soil. That makes Joe Biden one of the most prolific child traffickers in the history of our country.
Now that I'm hearing a little more about the film, I'm hearing that it is less about the graphic nature of child trafficking and maybe more about the story of the men and women who do what they can to stop it. That isn't to say that it isn't a hard film to watch, because I think it is, but maybe for very different reasons. I like one of the main actors in the film, Jim Cavizel, and have enjoyed seeing him in other productions like "The Passion of the Christ." All I'm saying is that there's a wicked buzz about this film. The fact that the Hollywood types wanted nothing to do with this film tells me everything I need to know about where their loyalties lie. Are there some uncomfortable truths about the fact that Hollywood doesn't want anyone to see this film? You bet your sweet ass there are. What does it tell you when the mainstream media comes out against this film with every fiber of its being? I'm guessing that the mainstream media has built a wall of silence around this subject for years dating back to the crimes of the catholic church in the fifties and, more recently, their herculean efforts to hide Epstein's alleged crimes against children from the media to protect the reputations of the people involved.
Speaking of Bumbles Biden, did you happen to catch any of the videos of him while he was at the so-called NATO summit? Who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to send him out in public in his demented state? I can't even count the number of stupid things that he's said about anything, much less what the attendees must be thinking with this demented clown in their midst. They must be holding their breath every time he is at the microphone. There wasn't one photo in all the photos taken of Bumbles where he didn't have his cue cards placed firmly in his lap for reference. I suspect that those cue cards contained instructions for him to follow, the words with which to express himself, and, last but not least, the names of the people he would be addressing. I heard one fellow on the radio this morning, who is convinced that Bumbles will not be the candidate in 2024, remark that John Kerry was one of many potential backbenchers who might step in at the last minute to save the party when Bumbles bows out. I'm not sure where that leaves the inimitable Kamala Harris, but I'm guessing nowhere good. Just so you know, John Kerry is not going to be the next president of the United States.
I thought I heard something yesterday about some poll or other that has Trump beating DeSantis in the Florida primary. I mean, talk about putting one more nail in the coffin of DeSantis's candidacy. I'm also hearing that the money crowd is starting to lose confidence in DeSantis's ability to wrestle this thing away from Trump. They are taking a closer look at people like Nikki Haley, much to the chagrin and likely horror of the DeSantis camp. Even FOX is throwing in the towel on DeSantis if what I'm hearing is true. I think Kamala Harris dropped out of the 2020 presidential sweepstakes when she was at 3% in the polls, and it started to look like Biden was going to beat her in her own state, California. I know it's unlikely that we'll see Ron step down, and I'm not sure I know what it's going to take to make that happen. If Trump is able to forestall any of the legal proceedings now underway until after the election, that may well be the final straw for Mr. Inevitable. He and his wife, Casey, can take their roadshow back to the state of Florida, where it will die a slow but certain death. I think they refer to that process as "suspending the race until further notice."
I feel like this week's journaling has been a bit of a slog. I've struggled more than usual with things to put down on paper every morning when I sit down to write. That has to be obvious for anyone taking note. I hate this expression, but I'll say it anyway: It is what it is. The same thing is happening with this new song I'm teaching myself to play on my guitar. It's taking me forever to learn despite having the instructions right at my fingertip. The intro part of the song I ended up learning is not note for note but rather an interpretation of my own which sounds similar, but it's not the same. I actually feel pretty good about working through the intro section of the song despite the fact I ended up somewhere else. I hear that time and time again from instructors on YouTube. It's okay to do your own thing. It's okay not to play a bar chord despite the fact that that is how the original artist plays it. There is more than one way to play any number of chords. It's all about the journey, and it's never about the destination. Right? I just keep putting one foot in front of the other until I get where I'm going.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to be avoiding lab-grown meat at all costs. Some government agency or other approved the sale of these products to the public, and they did not mandate that they needed to be labeled as such. All I could think of was how much somebody got paid to avoid the labeling of these products. Don't you think the public has a right to know that their sirloin steak or hamburger originated in a lab and not from farm-raised animals? What is this all about anyway? Does this have anything to do with Climate change and the impact on the environment from farting cows? I'm hearing that the only way to ensure that you're not buying lab-grown meat is to look for a "grass-fed" label or to make sure that you buy a bone-in steak. Everything else is suspect. How much do you want to bet that Bill Gates has his fingerprints all over this bullshit? I'm sorry, but it just reeks of something genetically engineered, and I'm hard-wired to reject anything and everything genetically engineered. Hell, I even avoid farm-raised fish if you want to know how far I'm willing to go to avoid anything and everything unnatural. Maybe my dad was right when he warned us back in the day about artificial preservatives like BHT.
I was reading a story in the news yesterday about a black man in Tennessee who shot his orthopedic surgeon to death. Can it get any more senseless than that? The doctor leaves behind a wife and two children. Is it me, or does something not sound right about this story? The black guy looked like a gang member in the picture that I saw of him and not a model citizen if you get my drift. We can't all be outstanding citizens of our community, so that's fine. I get it. Even gang members need medical care from time to time. I'm just trying to get my head around how a normal visit to your doctor goes to hell in a handbasket and ends up with a doctor dead on the floor and his patient from the hood running for his life with cops on his heels, and a weapon tucked into his waistband. I mean, why does anyone even bring a gun into a doctor's office? Was he planning to kill him all along? Is it something the surgeon said to the patient? And, I could understand it if the doctor was an oncologist, and he gave the guy a handful of days to get his affairs in order. None of that is true based on facts we know so far. Was the killer a mental defective of sorts? I'm just saying none of this makes any sense. Were they lovers? Was the doctor buying drugs from the killer? A drug deal gone wrong? I just don't know. Make it make sense.
Nothing to see here. Move along. I'm talking about this business of the Secret Service finding cocaine in the White House. Who could it possibly belong to? What kind of reprobate brings a baggie of cocaine into our beloved White House? I can only think of one person who could have done this. It's likely the same crackhead who left his laptop filled with child porn and receipts from his several overseas pay-to-play shakedowns in the computer store for service and then forgot about it. What are the chances that it belongs to Bumbles himself? He's looked a little jittery from time to time, so we can't count him out as a suspect. But, lo and behold, the vaunted Secret Service couldn't crack the case after a ten-day investigation. In one of the most secure locations in the world with cameras around every corner, they just couldn't figure it out. I guess we can now add one more agency to the number of agencies that have been corrupted by the Biden Crime Family and their protectorates, the Department of Justice. It's just one more crime scene for them to cover up. It's just one more act of complicity on the part of our Institutions that gets us closer and closer to that third-world banana republic everyone talks about.
Bumbles announced the call-up of a few thousand reserves to go to the European theater where war rages out of control in Ukraine. Don't we already have thousands of American troops in NATO countries surrounding Ukraine? Whose war is this, anyway? It sure as shit is not our war. It's not in our backyard. Let the Europeans shed the blood of their sons and daughters on Ukrainian soil if they honestly think that the shithole Ukraine is worth protecting. This boosting of troops is reminiscent of the buildup of troops in past wars, where it starts as a trickle, and the next thing you know, it looks more like a firehose than a trickle. Bumbles will get the war that he so desperately wants, and he may get another term out of the deal since no one unseats a Commander-in-Chief in the middle of a "righteous" war. If it means that the body bags start to roll into Delaware, then that is the price we Americans will have to pay to fight Biden's illegal war. He won't be the first president to ramp up overseas conflicts in order to ensure that he sees a second term in office. This is not, as they say, unchartered territory.
Quite honestly, I think they tried to pin this cocaine thing on Kamala Harris. Their stories kept changing about where they found the baggie. This angle makes sense to me. Bumbles and his minions would like nothing better than to replace Kamala Harris with someone else. That someone else would step in at the last minute just before their party announces their candidate for the 2024 presidential race. No one would be surprised to see Bumbles step out of the way despite his family's best efforts to keep him propped up for another four years. I can hear them now, "President Biden has decided to retire to his home in Rehobeth, Deleware, where he will concentrate on writing his memoirs." But what to do with our nation's first black Vice President? I'm not even sure that she qualifies as the first black Vice President. One of her parents was either Haitian or Jamaican, neither of which qualifies her as a black person in the truest sense of the word. Be that as it may, you have to admit that you never see her in a flattering video. She is always making a fool of herself one way or another, and that is by design. If they can't dislodge her from her political moorings, why not have her arrested for crimes committed by your own son (Hunter) and let the chips fall where they may? It's Bidenesque, if nothing.
In the last day or two, speaking of Kamala Harris, she gave a speech somewhere where she said something about reducing the world's population so that "folks can have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink." What the hell do they know that we don't? Is this more of that climate change hogwash where they try to make the case that our planet can't support the billions of people that, in time, will increase exponentially to the point of no return? Does this have anything to do with George Soros and his plan to resettle the planet based on the World Health Organization's version of sustainability? Ask the good folks of Britain and Sweden how all of that is working out for them. Or, if you've been paying attention lately, maybe you've noticed the riots night after night in the streets of Paris, where horrendous mobs of Middle Eastern men of fighting age have been overwhelming the constabulary with their mayhem. Maybe people just dismiss anything Harris says because she has a history of saying stupid things. This comment got plenty of play on social media, though, so there may be something to it.
Do you know what else has gotten a lot of play in the last day or two? How about that video of Bumbles Biden in Finland and that little girl that he nuzzled as she looked back at him in horror? Her mom was holding her in her arms, and Bumbles moved in like a pedo priest sizing up an altar boy, and the next thing you know, he's munching on her bare skin like a pervert. His jaws were gyrating against her skin in an all too familiar pattern. My mind immediately went back to the horrors that his 12-year-old daughter must have experienced when she was forced to take showers with her father back in the day. This little girl in Finland had nowhere to hide as her mother tried time and time again to get a better angle with her iPhone of the President of the United States fiddling with her daughter. Little did she know what this demented old man had on his mind as he sniffed and tore into the little girl with his lashing tongue and his eyes rolling back in his head like a viper devouring his young prey. Americans have become inured to this kind of behavior from this old fool, and it's barely even mentioned anymore when it occurs. You see him walking prepubescent children, one on each hand, into the White House from the Rose Garden, and you pray for the very souls of his young victims. They will never be the same.
I didn't watch all of Blaze's TV coverage of Tucker Carlson interviewing the Republican candidates for president yesterday, but I saw enough. I have to believe that, almost to a candidate, they probably wished that they hadn't gone into the lion's den with Tucker Carlson. Each of them, maybe with the exception of the Vivek guy, made comments that basically disqualify them as candidates for the leadership of their party. Pence was more concerned for the people of Ukraine than he was for the citizenry of our country, and Tucker outed him on the issue. He's toast. The black guy, I think it was Senator Scott, said something about the global world order being the end-all and be-all. Good night, Senator Scott. Your campaign is finished. Nikki Haley thought that if she talked non-stop that Tucker couldn't find an opening to expose her Achilles' high heel. Little did she realize that there is nothing worse than a woman prattling on and on about nothing that tells one and all that she's not really ready for primetime. She also thinks that women naturally start from a position of weakness, so she tries as she might, as we all know to be more hawkish than most of her male counterparts when it comes to issues concerning Ukraine and using our military in general. We get it, you're a tough broad. Now get to the back of the line.
Asa Hutchinson, one of many candidates who are already hanging on by a very thin thread, disqualified himself by expressing his support for gender-affirming care for children. I'll give him credit for being consistent, but the gender-affirming care thing is the modern-day version of child mutilation, and it's a non-starter for any Republican candidate running for president. I know Trump was not in attendance for the interviews, and I didn't hear anything about interviews for either Christie or DeSantis. Trump said something in the last twenty-four hours about being circumspect about his Christopher Wray hire, know what we all know today about Wray being the ultimate deep-state hack for the Biden Administration that he is and has been, but when on to mention that Wray had been recommended by Chris Christie. Keep in mind that the only reason Christie is in the race is to take down Trump. He'll never admit that, but it's obvious to anyone not wearing blinders. I guess we'll have to wait for the post-interview polls to come rolling in to see what damage, if any, was laid at the feet of the people interviewed by Tucker. Who else haven't I mentioned?
Do you know what I'm not understanding? I don't get this latest move by the Pentagon to dispatch F-16s to the Gulf of Oman to protect oil tankers from being hijacked by Iranians in speedboats. How does that even work? What are they going to do? Drop ordinances on the rubber rafts manned by the Iranians? Are they going to strafe the boats as they get closer and closer to the tankers? How does that happen exactly? I think it doesn't because F16s fly at a speed of Mach 2 and carry bombs and missiles, not machine guns. Blackhawk helicopters would be better suited to the task, in my humble opinion. Besides, I thought we were using destroyers to keep watch on tankers as they transit the Gulf. Have we decided that the destroyers are needed elsewhere for reasons that have yet to be revealed to the American Public? Is this just another ruse by Bumbles and his fools in the military brass to move fighter jets into Ukraine without admitting that they are moving F16s into Ukraine? No matter what we're being told about who is training Ukrainians when and where on F16s, and no one is admitting it, you know none of what they're telling us is true. In fact, we're being gaslit daily. They're going to lie us right into World War III.
Holy cow! They finally nailed the serial murderer on Long Island, NY, who was killing sex workers and dropping their bodies off along a remote stretch of highway in that sleepy seaside town in and around 2010. I told the missus that he didn't seem to fit the stereotypical serial murderer, and she was quick to remind me of several instances where certain serial murderers turned out to be physicians, lawyers, etc. I don't know what I was expecting, quite frankly. I also want to make sure that I don't jump to any conclusions about his guilt or innocence. You are assumed innocent until you are convicted by a jury of your peers in this country. Did I mention that this alleged killer owned his own architectural firm? So, he wasn't a total schlep. Can you imagine how his wife and children feel today? Their lives are now total shite, thanks to him. What the fuck was he thinking? We also don't know yet how many of the bodies found dumped along that stretch of highway were dumped there by him. There is such a thing as copycat killers, just so you know.
Apparently, they used the most sophisticated tools available these days to find this guy. They say that they had him in their sites for the better part of a year before they pulled the trigger. I think the only reason they picked him up probably had something to do with the fact that they didn't want to take the chance that he would kill another sex worker while they had a tail on him. There were DNA and cell tower triangulations utilized and all of which only strengthened their case against him. Of course, now that they finally pinched him, we're seeing the usual array of neighbors who are coming forward with example after example where they thought the guy was, well, weird. We're hearing comments from his neighbors like, "he usually kept to himself," to imply somehow that he was a serial murderer in the making. I keep to myself, but that doesn't make me a serial murderer. I think the guy is sixty-four years old or so. I'm also thinking that a sixty-year-old man doesn't wake up one morning and decide that he is going to start killing prostitutes. How many more victims are there? It really is a shame that NY doesn't have capital punishment. If anyone deserves the chair, this guy does. Well, once he's found guilty, anyway.
I bought a new microwave through Amazon the other day. It should arrive sometime today. I don't know how these big box, or brick-and-mortar stores, stay in business. I knew what kind of microwave I wanted, but I had zero interest in finding out which store locally carried that particular brand of microwave.

I saw a story in the media the other day about a tranny winning a beauty contest. We're not talking about some local yokel beauty contest. It was the Miss Netherlands beauty contest. I thought to myself, you have got to be kidding. I mean, talk about dystopia. It's absolutely Bizzaro land. Give the guy credit for winning the contest, but what the hell does it say about our cultural state of affairs these days when this guy walks away with a trophy intended for a female recipient? I have to assume that the "Miss" in Miss Netherlands means they're wanting to crown a female at the end of the day and not a man who thinks he's a woman. Carry this out to the extreme for a moment. Just humor me. Will we ever get to the point in these so-called pageants where women simply need not apply? May the best tranny win?

I don't know how they fight back, but they need to figure this one out and figure it out quickly. Do not let it become the norm. It will never be the norm. Not now, not ever.

It's less about torches and pitchforks and more about John Deere farm machinery when it comes time to push back against these cults like globalism and the climate change nutters. Whatever it is, it seems to be working. Good riddance, mother fucker. I'm talking to you, Mark Rutte.

Speaking of Bumbles Biden, did you happen to catch any of the videos of him while he was at the so-called NATO summit? Who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to send him out in public in his demented state? I can't even count the number of stupid things that he's said about anything, much less what the attendees must be thinking with this demented clown in their midst. They must be holding their breath every time he is at the microphone. There wasn't one photo in all the photos taken of Bumbles where he didn't have his cue cards placed firmly in his lap for reference. I suspect that those cue cards contained instructions for him to follow, the words with which to express himself, and, last but not least, the names of the people he would be addressing. I heard one fellow on the radio this morning, who is convinced that Bumbles will not be the candidate in 2024, remark that John Kerry was one of many potential backbenchers who might step in at the last minute to save the party when Bumbles bows out. I'm not sure where that leaves the inimitable Kamala Harris, but I'm guessing nowhere good. Just so you know, John Kerry is not going to be the next president of the United States.
I thought I heard something yesterday about some poll or other that has Trump beating DeSantis in the Florida primary. I mean, talk about putting one more nail in the coffin of DeSantis's candidacy. I'm also hearing that the money crowd is starting to lose confidence in DeSantis's ability to wrestle this thing away from Trump. They are taking a closer look at people like Nikki Haley, much to the chagrin and likely horror of the DeSantis camp. Even FOX is throwing in the towel on DeSantis if what I'm hearing is true. I think Kamala Harris dropped out of the 2020 presidential sweepstakes when she was at 3% in the polls, and it started to look like Biden was going to beat her in her own state, California. I know it's unlikely that we'll see Ron step down, and I'm not sure I know what it's going to take to make that happen. If Trump is able to forestall any of the legal proceedings now underway until after the election, that may well be the final straw for Mr. Inevitable. He and his wife, Casey, can take their roadshow back to the state of Florida, where it will die a slow but certain death. I think they refer to that process as "suspending the race until further notice."
I feel like this week's journaling has been a bit of a slog. I've struggled more than usual with things to put down on paper every morning when I sit down to write. That has to be obvious for anyone taking note. I hate this expression, but I'll say it anyway: It is what it is. The same thing is happening with this new song I'm teaching myself to play on my guitar. It's taking me forever to learn despite having the instructions right at my fingertip. The intro part of the song I ended up learning is not note for note but rather an interpretation of my own which sounds similar, but it's not the same. I actually feel pretty good about working through the intro section of the song despite the fact I ended up somewhere else. I hear that time and time again from instructors on YouTube. It's okay to do your own thing. It's okay not to play a bar chord despite the fact that that is how the original artist plays it. There is more than one way to play any number of chords. It's all about the journey, and it's never about the destination. Right? I just keep putting one foot in front of the other until I get where I'm going.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to be avoiding lab-grown meat at all costs. Some government agency or other approved the sale of these products to the public, and they did not mandate that they needed to be labeled as such. All I could think of was how much somebody got paid to avoid the labeling of these products. Don't you think the public has a right to know that their sirloin steak or hamburger originated in a lab and not from farm-raised animals? What is this all about anyway? Does this have anything to do with Climate change and the impact on the environment from farting cows? I'm hearing that the only way to ensure that you're not buying lab-grown meat is to look for a "grass-fed" label or to make sure that you buy a bone-in steak. Everything else is suspect. How much do you want to bet that Bill Gates has his fingerprints all over this bullshit? I'm sorry, but it just reeks of something genetically engineered, and I'm hard-wired to reject anything and everything genetically engineered. Hell, I even avoid farm-raised fish if you want to know how far I'm willing to go to avoid anything and everything unnatural. Maybe my dad was right when he warned us back in the day about artificial preservatives like BHT.
I was reading a story in the news yesterday about a black man in Tennessee who shot his orthopedic surgeon to death. Can it get any more senseless than that? The doctor leaves behind a wife and two children. Is it me, or does something not sound right about this story? The black guy looked like a gang member in the picture that I saw of him and not a model citizen if you get my drift. We can't all be outstanding citizens of our community, so that's fine. I get it. Even gang members need medical care from time to time. I'm just trying to get my head around how a normal visit to your doctor goes to hell in a handbasket and ends up with a doctor dead on the floor and his patient from the hood running for his life with cops on his heels, and a weapon tucked into his waistband. I mean, why does anyone even bring a gun into a doctor's office? Was he planning to kill him all along? Is it something the surgeon said to the patient? And, I could understand it if the doctor was an oncologist, and he gave the guy a handful of days to get his affairs in order. None of that is true based on facts we know so far. Was the killer a mental defective of sorts? I'm just saying none of this makes any sense. Were they lovers? Was the doctor buying drugs from the killer? A drug deal gone wrong? I just don't know. Make it make sense.
Nothing to see here. Move along. I'm talking about this business of the Secret Service finding cocaine in the White House. Who could it possibly belong to? What kind of reprobate brings a baggie of cocaine into our beloved White House? I can only think of one person who could have done this. It's likely the same crackhead who left his laptop filled with child porn and receipts from his several overseas pay-to-play shakedowns in the computer store for service and then forgot about it. What are the chances that it belongs to Bumbles himself? He's looked a little jittery from time to time, so we can't count him out as a suspect. But, lo and behold, the vaunted Secret Service couldn't crack the case after a ten-day investigation. In one of the most secure locations in the world with cameras around every corner, they just couldn't figure it out. I guess we can now add one more agency to the number of agencies that have been corrupted by the Biden Crime Family and their protectorates, the Department of Justice. It's just one more crime scene for them to cover up. It's just one more act of complicity on the part of our Institutions that gets us closer and closer to that third-world banana republic everyone talks about.
Bumbles announced the call-up of a few thousand reserves to go to the European theater where war rages out of control in Ukraine. Don't we already have thousands of American troops in NATO countries surrounding Ukraine? Whose war is this, anyway? It sure as shit is not our war. It's not in our backyard. Let the Europeans shed the blood of their sons and daughters on Ukrainian soil if they honestly think that the shithole Ukraine is worth protecting. This boosting of troops is reminiscent of the buildup of troops in past wars, where it starts as a trickle, and the next thing you know, it looks more like a firehose than a trickle. Bumbles will get the war that he so desperately wants, and he may get another term out of the deal since no one unseats a Commander-in-Chief in the middle of a "righteous" war. If it means that the body bags start to roll into Delaware, then that is the price we Americans will have to pay to fight Biden's illegal war. He won't be the first president to ramp up overseas conflicts in order to ensure that he sees a second term in office. This is not, as they say, unchartered territory.
Quite honestly, I think they tried to pin this cocaine thing on Kamala Harris. Their stories kept changing about where they found the baggie. This angle makes sense to me. Bumbles and his minions would like nothing better than to replace Kamala Harris with someone else. That someone else would step in at the last minute just before their party announces their candidate for the 2024 presidential race. No one would be surprised to see Bumbles step out of the way despite his family's best efforts to keep him propped up for another four years. I can hear them now, "President Biden has decided to retire to his home in Rehobeth, Deleware, where he will concentrate on writing his memoirs." But what to do with our nation's first black Vice President? I'm not even sure that she qualifies as the first black Vice President. One of her parents was either Haitian or Jamaican, neither of which qualifies her as a black person in the truest sense of the word. Be that as it may, you have to admit that you never see her in a flattering video. She is always making a fool of herself one way or another, and that is by design. If they can't dislodge her from her political moorings, why not have her arrested for crimes committed by your own son (Hunter) and let the chips fall where they may? It's Bidenesque, if nothing.
In the last day or two, speaking of Kamala Harris, she gave a speech somewhere where she said something about reducing the world's population so that "folks can have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink." What the hell do they know that we don't? Is this more of that climate change hogwash where they try to make the case that our planet can't support the billions of people that, in time, will increase exponentially to the point of no return? Does this have anything to do with George Soros and his plan to resettle the planet based on the World Health Organization's version of sustainability? Ask the good folks of Britain and Sweden how all of that is working out for them. Or, if you've been paying attention lately, maybe you've noticed the riots night after night in the streets of Paris, where horrendous mobs of Middle Eastern men of fighting age have been overwhelming the constabulary with their mayhem. Maybe people just dismiss anything Harris says because she has a history of saying stupid things. This comment got plenty of play on social media, though, so there may be something to it.
Do you know what else has gotten a lot of play in the last day or two? How about that video of Bumbles Biden in Finland and that little girl that he nuzzled as she looked back at him in horror? Her mom was holding her in her arms, and Bumbles moved in like a pedo priest sizing up an altar boy, and the next thing you know, he's munching on her bare skin like a pervert. His jaws were gyrating against her skin in an all too familiar pattern. My mind immediately went back to the horrors that his 12-year-old daughter must have experienced when she was forced to take showers with her father back in the day. This little girl in Finland had nowhere to hide as her mother tried time and time again to get a better angle with her iPhone of the President of the United States fiddling with her daughter. Little did she know what this demented old man had on his mind as he sniffed and tore into the little girl with his lashing tongue and his eyes rolling back in his head like a viper devouring his young prey. Americans have become inured to this kind of behavior from this old fool, and it's barely even mentioned anymore when it occurs. You see him walking prepubescent children, one on each hand, into the White House from the Rose Garden, and you pray for the very souls of his young victims. They will never be the same.
I didn't watch all of Blaze's TV coverage of Tucker Carlson interviewing the Republican candidates for president yesterday, but I saw enough. I have to believe that, almost to a candidate, they probably wished that they hadn't gone into the lion's den with Tucker Carlson. Each of them, maybe with the exception of the Vivek guy, made comments that basically disqualify them as candidates for the leadership of their party. Pence was more concerned for the people of Ukraine than he was for the citizenry of our country, and Tucker outed him on the issue. He's toast. The black guy, I think it was Senator Scott, said something about the global world order being the end-all and be-all. Good night, Senator Scott. Your campaign is finished. Nikki Haley thought that if she talked non-stop that Tucker couldn't find an opening to expose her Achilles' high heel. Little did she realize that there is nothing worse than a woman prattling on and on about nothing that tells one and all that she's not really ready for primetime. She also thinks that women naturally start from a position of weakness, so she tries as she might, as we all know to be more hawkish than most of her male counterparts when it comes to issues concerning Ukraine and using our military in general. We get it, you're a tough broad. Now get to the back of the line.
Asa Hutchinson, one of many candidates who are already hanging on by a very thin thread, disqualified himself by expressing his support for gender-affirming care for children. I'll give him credit for being consistent, but the gender-affirming care thing is the modern-day version of child mutilation, and it's a non-starter for any Republican candidate running for president. I know Trump was not in attendance for the interviews, and I didn't hear anything about interviews for either Christie or DeSantis. Trump said something in the last twenty-four hours about being circumspect about his Christopher Wray hire, know what we all know today about Wray being the ultimate deep-state hack for the Biden Administration that he is and has been, but when on to mention that Wray had been recommended by Chris Christie. Keep in mind that the only reason Christie is in the race is to take down Trump. He'll never admit that, but it's obvious to anyone not wearing blinders. I guess we'll have to wait for the post-interview polls to come rolling in to see what damage, if any, was laid at the feet of the people interviewed by Tucker. Who else haven't I mentioned?
Do you know what I'm not understanding? I don't get this latest move by the Pentagon to dispatch F-16s to the Gulf of Oman to protect oil tankers from being hijacked by Iranians in speedboats. How does that even work? What are they going to do? Drop ordinances on the rubber rafts manned by the Iranians? Are they going to strafe the boats as they get closer and closer to the tankers? How does that happen exactly? I think it doesn't because F16s fly at a speed of Mach 2 and carry bombs and missiles, not machine guns. Blackhawk helicopters would be better suited to the task, in my humble opinion. Besides, I thought we were using destroyers to keep watch on tankers as they transit the Gulf. Have we decided that the destroyers are needed elsewhere for reasons that have yet to be revealed to the American Public? Is this just another ruse by Bumbles and his fools in the military brass to move fighter jets into Ukraine without admitting that they are moving F16s into Ukraine? No matter what we're being told about who is training Ukrainians when and where on F16s, and no one is admitting it, you know none of what they're telling us is true. In fact, we're being gaslit daily. They're going to lie us right into World War III.
Holy cow! They finally nailed the serial murderer on Long Island, NY, who was killing sex workers and dropping their bodies off along a remote stretch of highway in that sleepy seaside town in and around 2010. I told the missus that he didn't seem to fit the stereotypical serial murderer, and she was quick to remind me of several instances where certain serial murderers turned out to be physicians, lawyers, etc. I don't know what I was expecting, quite frankly. I also want to make sure that I don't jump to any conclusions about his guilt or innocence. You are assumed innocent until you are convicted by a jury of your peers in this country. Did I mention that this alleged killer owned his own architectural firm? So, he wasn't a total schlep. Can you imagine how his wife and children feel today? Their lives are now total shite, thanks to him. What the fuck was he thinking? We also don't know yet how many of the bodies found dumped along that stretch of highway were dumped there by him. There is such a thing as copycat killers, just so you know.
Apparently, they used the most sophisticated tools available these days to find this guy. They say that they had him in their sites for the better part of a year before they pulled the trigger. I think the only reason they picked him up probably had something to do with the fact that they didn't want to take the chance that he would kill another sex worker while they had a tail on him. There were DNA and cell tower triangulations utilized and all of which only strengthened their case against him. Of course, now that they finally pinched him, we're seeing the usual array of neighbors who are coming forward with example after example where they thought the guy was, well, weird. We're hearing comments from his neighbors like, "he usually kept to himself," to imply somehow that he was a serial murderer in the making. I keep to myself, but that doesn't make me a serial murderer. I think the guy is sixty-four years old or so. I'm also thinking that a sixty-year-old man doesn't wake up one morning and decide that he is going to start killing prostitutes. How many more victims are there? It really is a shame that NY doesn't have capital punishment. If anyone deserves the chair, this guy does. Well, once he's found guilty, anyway.
