Remember that Amazon order that the Ev man and I were expecting? At the last minute, he got an update from Amazon that his order had been delayed. Only by a couple of days, mind you, but delayed nonetheless. Here's my take: Amazon laid a few thousand workers off in the last few weeks and took a hit to their bottom line due to the layoffs. To make up for the shortfall and to not incur the wrath of Mr. Bezos himself, some enlightened fuck behind the scenes decided that they should start "selling" highly desirable goods that were never actually in the pipeline in the first place. If you didn't factor in cancellations, this would provide a much-needed spike in their sales figures, and it would give a robust boost to their bottom line. Here's the problem: Customers like the Ev man will go viral with their angst when they find out they've been deceived.
Speaking of layoffs, I got a kick out of the announcement by Mcdonald's that they told all of their employees to stay home on a particular day this coming week. They apparently don't want employees anywhere near the corporate offices or stores when they tell them they're losing their jobs. I wonder if they got that idea from Elon Musk when he informed many of his employees of their layoffs at Twitter in a similar fashion. In the case of Twitter, they found out that they had lost their jobs when either their badges didn't work when they appeared at work or when they couldn't log into work remotely. The layoffs at Mcdonald's could happen today, so that sucks for anyone losing his or her job, and I suspect there will be many who will lose their jobs. The standing joke for people losing their jobs heretofore was that they could go to work at McDonald's if and when they got laid off. Now, I'm not sure where one goes given this environment. What company isn't laying off employees?
I don't have much time to write this morning because I'm heading out to see my dermatologist shortly. I have no issues, per se, but that doesn't mean he won't find one or two things he wants to inspect more closely. That's fine. That's why I'm going to see him. He'll see things that I can't. There are areas on one's body that never get inspected for the simple fact that you can't see them. On your back, for example. On the backs of your legs for another example. Maybe even along your hairline in the back of your head. I'm not sure what he'll be looking for exactly, but there are always spots, dots, and thingies that dermatologists have been trained to see before anyone else. Some of the deadlier cancers they find on people look innocuous enough, but they can be deadly if not treated promptly. That's why we pay these guys and girls the big bucks.
Today is the day. Trump will be going down to City Hall or whatever in New York City where he will be arraigned. The charges aren't even worth talking about since they are all contrived. You would think the judge might have the good sense to dismiss this bullshit out of hand, but, as Alan Dershowitz says, the judge would have a hard time going home at night to a family who likely would not take matters lightly were he to let Trump off. I get it. This tells you all you need to know about these sick mothers who call themselves progressives, but, when their actions are laid bare, they show the world who they really are. Word has it that there will be no mug shots, no gag orders, no cameras in the courtroom, no handcuffs, and I'm not sure what else. They will do their best not to make any more of a folk hero out of Trump than they already have. Were Trump not a man of the people, they might have an easier time of it. His coffers have already been fattened by more than seven million dollars from first-time donors, so I'm guessing Trump would say, were he asked, so far, so good.
I feel bad for Trump and his family today, but I feel far worse for what is happening to our country as a result of this action by a New York City District Attorney. Trump will emerge stronger than he already is, no matter how long it takes. I'm not sure our country survives. Maybe we're further down the proverbial rabbit hole than I ever suspected. I agree with Trump's attorney, Joe Tacopina, when he was discussing Trump's issues last night on the telly, and he referred to events scheduled for today as "surreal." He's still having a hard time getting his head around the fact that the Democrat Party has stooped to this level where they would actually conjure up criminal charges in an effort to keep Joe Biden's likely opponent for the Presidency off the ballot. Or, better yet, behind bars and off the campaign trail. It's that banana republic thing all over again. For better or worse, that is where we are. That better not be who we are as a country. If so, God help the lot of us.
Here is what I say: Unleash the hounds of hell on the leftists. Go after these soulless communists like there is no tomorrow. Indict as many as you can, and we'll pick up the pieces after the fact. Build more jails, so we have somewhere to house them when the verdicts come down. Change the laws and allow us to put people on death row who would dare to jeopardize our republic and our way of life. Unseat all of these freakish liberal justices put on the courts during Biden's tenure. They are likely, to a person, wholly unqualified to protect the rule of law and our Constitution. I don't care how many votes they got from Republican senators. Round up the leftist rabble-rousers in the media and put them behind bars until we can determine the full extent of their complicity in the crimes committed by Biden and his cohorts. If their crimes qualify, construct the gallows and clear the calendars for a public spectacle the likes of which will, God willing, restore our collective faith in the rule of law.
I'm still trying to figure out why NBC went with a story yesterday about that Chinese weather balloon. So, everything that Biden told the public about the balloon and what he did or didn't do to protect our country from the threat was all bullshit. NBC is now reporting that the balloon did exactly what everyone thought it was doing. If you need a reminder, Biden allowed the spy balloon to traverse our country while vacuuming up data and everything else in its path. Biden and the clowns around him fed stories to the media about how we had the technology to prevent the balloon from completing its mission, and the public fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. Fact of the matter is, the balloon got the data that it wanted and transferred it in real-time back to Beijing. We, the American people, were gaslighted and treated like a bunch of stooges. Biden did the bidding of his masters in China, and the safety and security of our nation was compromised as a result of his actions. Why would NBC go with this story? And where are the articles of impeachment? Republicans?
Both a runoff mayoral election in Chicago and a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat were decided yesterday. The mayoral election was a bit of a surprise since the leading candidate, at least until yesterday, was a pro-cop Democrat. After Lori Lightfoot's disastrous term, the election of a pro-cop candidate was viewed as a turning point for the besieged city of Chicago. The other ass-clown on the ballot was a communist who, despite losing in the polls in recent months, pulled out a win last night to the likely chagrin and disappointment of Chicagoans citywide. Does anyone in their right mind think that this election, like so many others these days in our country, wasn't stolen, rigged, or otherwise purloined? The city of Chicago and its citizenry will rue the day when they ushered a communist, by hook or crook, into the corner office in their once-great city.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court seat was another loss for the good guys. Did the good people of Wisconsin really understand the consequences of voting in a leftist who would, thanks to their newfound majority on the Court, make it easier than ever to kill babies in the womb, steal elections by exponentially expanding lockbox voting, and God only knows what else? Was the outcome in Wisconsin another example of a stolen election? The Leftists seem to have perfected the art of stealing elections if these two elections yesterday are any indication. How do they do it? Who helped them? What role, if any, did the White House play in the alleged theft of these two elections? What will the Haitian lesbian twat of a White House spokesperson, Jean-Pierre, say about the outcome of these two races today when she gives her daily presser? Will she sing the praises of the communist mayor and the leftist Supreme Court Justice on behalf of Bumbles and his minions? No doubt.
I took some comfort in an article I read yesterday about a Democrat in the North Carolina legislature who changed her party affiliation from Democrat to Republican. That gave the Republicans the majority in the legislature in that great state. They can now override any hooey that their Democrat governor comes up with, which is just terrific. We need more wins like this across our great country. We need convincing wins, not just a few squeakers from time to time. We need to get the word out that we're no longer a banana republic, as difficult as that is for Democrats to accept. Democrats flourish when and where the rule of law is twisted, distorted, and left to wither on the vine. Look no further than the once-great cities of our nation with democrats sitting in their corner offices. They are virtual crimeridden shitholes from coast to coast. Did I mention that the Republicans in my state here in New Hampshire voted against creating a sanctuary city within our state despite considerable pushback from the Democrats in our legislature? They will stop at nothing to destroy our values and our way of life. This is who they are.
I agree with Victor David Hanson on one thing. These radicals on the left will stop at nothing to prevent Donald J Trump from becoming president in 2024/2025. Don't think for a moment that they aren't determined to put him behind bars for the rest of his life. Aside from taking him off the playing field for 2024, they want their pound of flesh for Hillary Clinton's defeat in 2016. When they finally released the indictment against Trump in downtown Manhattan yesterday during his arraignment, it became painfully clear to both Republicans and Democrats that the 34 counts against Trump were spurious at best and hardly the kind of charges that anyone would consider when planning to arrest and jail a former president of our great Republic. No matter the egregiousness of the charges and what they mean for Donald Trump and our country at large, the Democrats will continue to press their case. They may even be able to get a conviction from a uber-jury jury in the liberal bastion that is Lower Manhattan. We're witnessing the destruction of the rule of law in our country, and nothing illustrates that better than what we're seeing happen to Donald J Trump and his family. Today it's Donald Trump. Tomorrow, it's you and me.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is not too happy with the president of Taiwan paying a visit to the United States. Fuck them and the rickshaws they rode in on. Really, I mean, who gives a fuck what the CCP says or does? So what if they are promising to retaliate? Does anyone care? I'm not talking about the good people of China here. I'm talking about the toadies of the CCP. From what I'm hearing, the CCP is threatening to stop any and all ships coming and going across the Straits of Taiwan. The Taiwanese have stated that they will not cooperate with the lawless activities of the CCP, so there you have it. Both sides are dug in, whatever the hell that means. Meanwhile, the president of Taiwan is doing her thing, hobnobbing with Kevin McCarthy and a bi-partisan group of congressmen at the Reagan Center in California. If nothing comes of the CCP's actions in the Straits of Taiwan, it will be just one more example of China's relentless bullying of its neighbor, Taiwan. Nobody likes a bully.
I have to say, I felt a little bit sad when I read the account of the tech guy, Bob Lee, getting stabbed to death in San Fransicko. I don't know Bob Lee from the man on the Moon, but he was an accomplished person by most accounts who made a name for himself in a field that has made enormous contributions to our society over the past decade or so. If some pathological fuck can take the life of someone like Bob Lee, none of us is safe. His senseless death highlights the dangers of living in some of these crime-ridden cities that have become lawless in recent years. It's no wonder that people of means are fleeing these places for a better life, a more certain future, and to escape the depravity of hellholes like San Fransicko. My heart goes out to the people and their families left behind, who don't have the means to escape and will never have the support and protection of the scumbags who have been elected to run things. Run things they have, right into the fucking ground. Nothing short of hellfire and damnation will even come close to cleansing the rot that has taken hold in these places.
I drove by one of my old haunts yesterday, and I noticed that the parking lot used by employees was almost empty. I'm not good at estimating such things, but I'd say that the parking lot typically housed several hundred to a thousand or more cars five out of seven days of the week. If there were twenty cars in the lot when I drove by this past Monday morning, that would be an exaggeration. The good news is that the employees still have jobs. The bad news, at least for the local economy, is that these people are now working from home and have been since the pandemic kicked off in the February-March timeframe in 2020. It's no wonder local businesses are having trouble getting by. They are selling fewer goods and services and therefore need fewer and fewer employees. The employees working from home are putting fewer miles on their vehicles, so they are maybe selling their cars and/or buying fewer cars since their vehicles are lasting longer. Companies no longer need to house their employees and can now offload the excess real estate they once pridefully referred to as their "Home Office." Change can be good, but this feels different. It just does.
There's another Kennedy running for president! He's running as a Democrat. Go figure. I won't vote for Democrats, so I won't be voting for him. He's challenging Bumbles Biden for the nomination, so that's interesting. I think he's thinking, and I think I agree with him, that Bumbles will be in after-care by the time the 2024 elections come around. It makes me wonder if we'll see other Democrats jumping in now that Kennedy has broken the ice by throwing his hat in the ring. I've heard nothing in the media about the Kennedy announcement, but that shouldn't surprise anyone.
This Kennedy, I think his name is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is an environmental attorney and an anti-vaxxer activist. I actually respect the work he's done in the area of vaccines. He's right up there, along with other iconic standouts that have stood up to the orthodoxy during these past few years of the Pandemic. Good for him. He's also, as far as I know, not a loon. Not a leftist loon anyway. He could actually bring the Democratic Party back to the center if that's even possible anymore. As a Party, they may be too far gone. Too deeply steeped in the ideology of radicals like Saul Alinsky. Too taken with the task at hand of bringing America to her knees.
I'm glad to see people pushing back against all of these companies going woke. Since when does it make sense to anyone that Budweiser hires a trans type to endorse its beer? Kid Rock put out a video showing him blasting away at cases of Bud Light to let the higher-ups at Budweiser know that they can kiss his ass before he'll have another Budweiser Lite or whatever. These companies have gone insane. Is this the result of companies creating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) departments? Everyone should boycott the shit out of their products until they capitulate. That means no Levi Jeans, No Budweiser products, no Tampax, and right down the fucking line. Bury these sick fucks alongside their sicko icons like that Mulavaney character. Maybe I shouldn't blame him. He's getting rich in the process, and I encourage self-promotion. That's the American way. These culture wars are not going to end well for the people or the companies that promote them. And dammit, ladies, stand the fuck up and tell the world you'll not be tolerating these biological male freaks who pretend to be women. Every minute of every day until the job is done.
That was quite the kerfuffle (Insurrection?) yesterday in the State House in Tennessee. Some members of the Tennessee House were apparently getting in everyone's grill on the issue of gun control, and the next thing you know, the entire House was voting to expel these so-called troublemakers. They ended up expelling two of the three main culprits and, for better or worse, the two expelled were both black. The one who didn't get expelled was saved from expulsion by one vote. She was quoted as saying something about the fact that the only reason she didn't get expelled was because of her skin color. Can you imagine? Did I mention that these three troublemakers were all Democrats? Did I have to mention that all three were Democrats?
It seems to me that the members of the House felt that a certain comeuppance was in order, and they voted accordingly. I don't know the racial makeup of the House in Tennessee, so I can't say for sure if what I was watching was some form of political partisanship or, worse yet, some form of racial targeting because of their skin color. That didn't stop the leftists in the media from crying, racist, racist, racist. This is what they do to sew racial division in our country whenever and wherever they can. This is who they are. This is what they do. As always with the Democrats, it's all about the guns, but it really isn't.
Watch out, Clarence! The Leftist Democrats are coming for you! If the Leftists can't pad the Supreme Court with additional members aligned with their left-wing political ideology, they will do everything they can to remove any and all Republicans sitting on the Court to make room for one or more of their own members. There are a few articles out there in the ether recently about Clarence Thomas accepting gifts from some high rollers. Is this all they have? Clarence is the only black conservative on the Court, so it makes perfect sense that they want to see him replaced. The Leftists will never get their agenda done with a 6-3 Conservative majority, and the reign of Bumbles Biden looks like it's on life support as I sit here a year and a half out from the next presidential election. Stand tall, Clarence! Tell these crazies on the left to pound sand in ways only you can, and use as many expletives as are necessary in order to make your point. We've got your back.
Do you suppose there's any truth to the rumor that the war plans for the upcoming Spring Offensive in Ukraine were leaked? It ostensibly tells a very different story than the one that Biden's Pretorian Media has been telling us for the better part of two years now. For one, it allegedly reveals for the first time that both American and British players are on the field of battle in Ukraine. That shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Mercenaries play a part in most conflicts across the globe, and they come from every corner of the globe. Here's my take: I don't believe a word they're telling us about this so-called breach. We're being gaslighted again by our own government. They are using Social Media once again to mislead, redirect, lie to, and outright bullshit both the American public and the Russians. If I had to guess, I'd say Putin isn't buying any of it. It's Stupidity 101 once again from Bumbles and his crew of incompetents in Washington. I do agree with people who say that these clowns in the White House are angling to get us into World War III. God help us.
I'm also a little concerned about stories I'm hearing about Bumbles and what he's planning to do to do away with our gas-guzzling automobiles. I hear that he's planning to push out new standards on auto emissions that will effectively fail every car on the road today when people show up for their annual inspection. Who the fuck does this clown think he is? I'm guessing every red state across our fruited plains will file suit to stop the implementation of said clownery. Let the leftists who are still driving gas-powered cars in blue states deal with the demented fuck in the White House on their own time. Fact of the matter is, there is neither the infrastructure nor the availability of reasonably priced electric cars to support such a policy. Maybe Bumbles and his minions don't want you driving at all. Maybe they want you to use government-supplied transportation to commute back and forth from your government-leased homes. If the goddamn auto manufacturers and the oil producers would get off their lazy asses and start pushing back against this buffoonery, we'd all be better off.
Oh, and they're doing the same thing with incandescent light bulbs. I don't know if the new rules are out yet, but when they do come out, don't expect to see any of your favorite light bulbs in stores. I went looking in Home Depot this past week, and all I could find were the wimpy LED bulbs. I remember when Trump ran in 2016, he promised to do away with the ban on incandescent bulbs, and he did just that. Those were the days when 100 watts was 100 watts. You can't even find a 100-watt LED bulb. They don't exist. If you could find one, it would be comparable in intensity to a 60-watt incandescent bulb. You can thank the climate cultists for yet another rule that makes a mockery of things we once took for granted. Pretty soon, we'll be using candles to light our homes. No, I guess that wouldn't fly with the nutjobs on the left either, so I don't know where we go from here. I'd like to hear one or more of the presidential candidates shouting from the rooftops about restoring some of these niceties we've become accustomed to over these past many decades. That would go a long way toward ameliorating my anxiety. How bout you?
Tomorrow is Easter. I told the missus we ought to take Mrs. G out for a ride just to get her out of the house. Who doesn't enjoy a nice ride on a sunny Sunday springtime afternoon? She said something to us the other day about not wanting to stand in line for Easter dinner at her facility, so I'm guessing she'll be available to go for a ride. We suggested to the Ev man that he join the lot of us for the ride we have planned. I think the jury is still out when it comes to the Ev man. He might have more important things to do, although we might disagree with him on what's more important. However things roll out, I bought a few take-out dishes at Sophies in Hampton this afternoon, so everyone who shows up and wants a take-out dinner will have a take-out dinner. I had to ask the missus because I truly don't have a clue. Do you think she (Mrs. G) likes eggplant parmesan? Maybe she'd prefer stuffed shells? The Ev man already put in his order. His order was for one more dish than I had planned to order for him but isn't that always the case? The Ev man wants what the Ev man wants.
Bumbles has invited the two ass clowns legislators that were expelled from the Tennessee House last week to the White House. There was a third ass clown as well, but she did not get expelled, so I'm not sure if she got an invite. The two invitees are black and, as they always do, the Democrats look to turn every event possible into the next Selma Bridge crossing, the next great speech by Martin Luther King Jr., the next Rosa Parks, who, as we know, is the black woman who refused to move to the rear of the bus back in 1955. In other words, never let a good crisis go to waste. This is what they do. This is who they are. It would be embarrassing if it weren't so obvious. Are minorities in our country that dim-witted that they fall for these shenanigans created out of whole cloth for consumption by the underprivileged amongst us? Apparently, the Democrats think so. They'll do whatever it takes to keep the racial rift alive as long as it gets folks back to the voting booth on election day. It's just disgusting.

The Taiwanese have stated that they will not cooperate with the lawless activities of the CCP, so there you have it. Both sides are dug in, whatever the hell that means. Meanwhile, the president of Taiwan is doing her thing, hobnobbing with Kevin McCarthy and a bi-partisan group of congressmen at the Reagan Center in California. If nothing comes of the CCP's actions in the Straits of Taiwan, it will be just one more example of China's relentless bullying of its neighbor, Taiwan. Nobody likes a bully.
I have to say, I felt a little bit sad when I read the account of the tech guy, Bob Lee, getting stabbed to death in San Fransicko. I don't know Bob Lee from the man on the Moon, but he was an accomplished person by most accounts who made a name for himself in a field that has made enormous contributions to our society over the past decade or so. If some pathological fuck can take the life of someone like Bob Lee, none of us is safe. His senseless death highlights the dangers of living in some of these crime-ridden cities that have become lawless in recent years. It's no wonder that people of means are fleeing these places for a better life, a more certain future, and to escape the depravity of hellholes like San Fransicko. My heart goes out to the people and their families left behind, who don't have the means to escape and will never have the support and protection of the scumbags who have been elected to run things. Run things they have, right into the fucking ground. Nothing short of hellfire and damnation will even come close to cleansing the rot that has taken hold in these places.
I drove by one of my old haunts yesterday, and I noticed that the parking lot used by employees was almost empty. I'm not good at estimating such things, but I'd say that the parking lot typically housed several hundred to a thousand or more cars five out of seven days of the week. If there were twenty cars in the lot when I drove by this past Monday morning, that would be an exaggeration. The good news is that the employees still have jobs. The bad news, at least for the local economy, is that these people are now working from home and have been since the pandemic kicked off in the February-March timeframe in 2020. It's no wonder local businesses are having trouble getting by. They are selling fewer goods and services and therefore need fewer and fewer employees. The employees working from home are putting fewer miles on their vehicles, so they are maybe selling their cars and/or buying fewer cars since their vehicles are lasting longer. Companies no longer need to house their employees and can now offload the excess real estate they once pridefully referred to as their "Home Office." Change can be good, but this feels different. It just does.
There's another Kennedy running for president! He's running as a Democrat. Go figure. I won't vote for Democrats, so I won't be voting for him. He's challenging Bumbles Biden for the nomination, so that's interesting. I think he's thinking, and I think I agree with him, that Bumbles will be in after-care by the time the 2024 elections come around. It makes me wonder if we'll see other Democrats jumping in now that Kennedy has broken the ice by throwing his hat in the ring. I've heard nothing in the media about the Kennedy announcement, but that shouldn't surprise anyone.
This Kennedy, I think his name is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is an environmental attorney and an anti-vaxxer activist. I actually respect the work he's done in the area of vaccines. He's right up there, along with other iconic standouts that have stood up to the orthodoxy during these past few years of the Pandemic. Good for him. He's also, as far as I know, not a loon. Not a leftist loon anyway. He could actually bring the Democratic Party back to the center if that's even possible anymore. As a Party, they may be too far gone. Too deeply steeped in the ideology of radicals like Saul Alinsky. Too taken with the task at hand of bringing America to her knees.
I'm glad to see people pushing back against all of these companies going woke. Since when does it make sense to anyone that Budweiser hires a trans type to endorse its beer? Kid Rock put out a video showing him blasting away at cases of Bud Light to let the higher-ups at Budweiser know that they can kiss his ass before he'll have another Budweiser Lite or whatever. These companies have gone insane. Is this the result of companies creating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) departments? Everyone should boycott the shit out of their products until they capitulate. That means no Levi Jeans, No Budweiser products, no Tampax, and right down the fucking line. Bury these sick fucks alongside their sicko icons like that Mulavaney character. Maybe I shouldn't blame him. He's getting rich in the process, and I encourage self-promotion. That's the American way. These culture wars are not going to end well for the people or the companies that promote them. And dammit, ladies, stand the fuck up and tell the world you'll not be tolerating these biological male freaks who pretend to be women. Every minute of every day until the job is done.
That was quite the kerfuffle (Insurrection?) yesterday in the State House in Tennessee. Some members of the Tennessee House were apparently getting in everyone's grill on the issue of gun control, and the next thing you know, the entire House was voting to expel these so-called troublemakers. They ended up expelling two of the three main culprits and, for better or worse, the two expelled were both black. The one who didn't get expelled was saved from expulsion by one vote. She was quoted as saying something about the fact that the only reason she didn't get expelled was because of her skin color. Can you imagine? Did I mention that these three troublemakers were all Democrats? Did I have to mention that all three were Democrats?
It seems to me that the members of the House felt that a certain comeuppance was in order, and they voted accordingly. I don't know the racial makeup of the House in Tennessee, so I can't say for sure if what I was watching was some form of political partisanship or, worse yet, some form of racial targeting because of their skin color. That didn't stop the leftists in the media from crying, racist, racist, racist. This is what they do to sew racial division in our country whenever and wherever they can. This is who they are. This is what they do. As always with the Democrats, it's all about the guns, but it really isn't.
Watch out, Clarence! The Leftist Democrats are coming for you! If the Leftists can't pad the Supreme Court with additional members aligned with their left-wing political ideology, they will do everything they can to remove any and all Republicans sitting on the Court to make room for one or more of their own members. There are a few articles out there in the ether recently about Clarence Thomas accepting gifts from some high rollers. Is this all they have? Clarence is the only black conservative on the Court, so it makes perfect sense that they want to see him replaced. The Leftists will never get their agenda done with a 6-3 Conservative majority, and the reign of Bumbles Biden looks like it's on life support as I sit here a year and a half out from the next presidential election. Stand tall, Clarence! Tell these crazies on the left to pound sand in ways only you can, and use as many expletives as are necessary in order to make your point. We've got your back.
Do you suppose there's any truth to the rumor that the war plans for the upcoming Spring Offensive in Ukraine were leaked? It ostensibly tells a very different story than the one that Biden's Pretorian Media has been telling us for the better part of two years now. For one, it allegedly reveals for the first time that both American and British players are on the field of battle in Ukraine. That shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Mercenaries play a part in most conflicts across the globe, and they come from every corner of the globe. Here's my take: I don't believe a word they're telling us about this so-called breach. We're being gaslighted again by our own government. They are using Social Media once again to mislead, redirect, lie to, and outright bullshit both the American public and the Russians. If I had to guess, I'd say Putin isn't buying any of it. It's Stupidity 101 once again from Bumbles and his crew of incompetents in Washington. I do agree with people who say that these clowns in the White House are angling to get us into World War III. God help us.
I'm also a little concerned about stories I'm hearing about Bumbles and what he's planning to do to do away with our gas-guzzling automobiles. I hear that he's planning to push out new standards on auto emissions that will effectively fail every car on the road today when people show up for their annual inspection. Who the fuck does this clown think he is? I'm guessing every red state across our fruited plains will file suit to stop the implementation of said clownery. Let the leftists who are still driving gas-powered cars in blue states deal with the demented fuck in the White House on their own time. Fact of the matter is, there is neither the infrastructure nor the availability of reasonably priced electric cars to support such a policy. Maybe Bumbles and his minions don't want you driving at all. Maybe they want you to use government-supplied transportation to commute back and forth from your government-leased homes. If the goddamn auto manufacturers and the oil producers would get off their lazy asses and start pushing back against this buffoonery, we'd all be better off.
Oh, and they're doing the same thing with incandescent light bulbs. I don't know if the new rules are out yet, but when they do come out, don't expect to see any of your favorite light bulbs in stores. I went looking in Home Depot this past week, and all I could find were the wimpy LED bulbs. I remember when Trump ran in 2016, he promised to do away with the ban on incandescent bulbs, and he did just that. Those were the days when 100 watts was 100 watts. You can't even find a 100-watt LED bulb. They don't exist. If you could find one, it would be comparable in intensity to a 60-watt incandescent bulb. You can thank the climate cultists for yet another rule that makes a mockery of things we once took for granted. Pretty soon, we'll be using candles to light our homes. No, I guess that wouldn't fly with the nutjobs on the left either, so I don't know where we go from here. I'd like to hear one or more of the presidential candidates shouting from the rooftops about restoring some of these niceties we've become accustomed to over these past many decades. That would go a long way toward ameliorating my anxiety. How bout you?
Tomorrow is Easter. I told the missus we ought to take Mrs. G out for a ride just to get her out of the house. Who doesn't enjoy a nice ride on a sunny Sunday springtime afternoon? She said something to us the other day about not wanting to stand in line for Easter dinner at her facility, so I'm guessing she'll be available to go for a ride. We suggested to the Ev man that he join the lot of us for the ride we have planned. I think the jury is still out when it comes to the Ev man. He might have more important things to do, although we might disagree with him on what's more important. However things roll out, I bought a few take-out dishes at Sophies in Hampton this afternoon, so everyone who shows up and wants a take-out dinner will have a take-out dinner. I had to ask the missus because I truly don't have a clue. Do you think she (Mrs. G) likes eggplant parmesan? Maybe she'd prefer stuffed shells? The Ev man already put in his order. His order was for one more dish than I had planned to order for him but isn't that always the case? The Ev man wants what the Ev man wants.
Bumbles has invited the two ass clowns legislators that were expelled from the Tennessee House last week to the White House. There was a third ass clown as well, but she did not get expelled, so I'm not sure if she got an invite. The two invitees are black and, as they always do, the Democrats look to turn every event possible into the next Selma Bridge crossing, the next great speech by Martin Luther King Jr., the next Rosa Parks, who, as we know, is the black woman who refused to move to the rear of the bus back in 1955. In other words, never let a good crisis go to waste. This is what they do. This is who they are. It would be embarrassing if it weren't so obvious. Are minorities in our country that dim-witted that they fall for these shenanigans created out of whole cloth for consumption by the underprivileged amongst us? Apparently, the Democrats think so. They'll do whatever it takes to keep the racial rift alive as long as it gets folks back to the voting booth on election day. It's just disgusting.
