Transition to a New Year

New Year's came and went. Unfortunately not without a mass-killing. In New Orleans a man plowed his truck through the crowd before emerging from his vehicle firing a gun. Law enforcement on-site did reply back rapidly, killing the perpetrator.




FBI officials initially called this a terrorist act. Now one official has  labeled this just the act of a lone wolf. Once again the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security are gaslighting the American people, just like those statements that "The border is secure.".




A man with radical mindset loads a vehicle with IEDs, flies a ISIS flag, then roars off to kill as many innocents as he can. In Israel, that would be a terrorist act. Why don't we call it what it is?

Fear. Officials are unwilling to face up to the fact they failed to prevent the attack.  By quickly labelling the killings as done by a lone wolf they don't have to investigate and prosecute the support structure that converted this man into a killing machine for radical Islam. America should relax, no terror cells are running around unchecked.

This coming from an administration that has been allowing huge numbers of undocumented persons, including murderers, rapists, and gang members into the country. A terror cell does not even have to be covert, they can ask for a flight to the US and transport to wherever they want to set-up shop.




The legislature was complicit in this. I was glad to see the first woman become Speaker of the House. Then horrified as she paraded around with the gavel like it was a trophy taken from some great beast. Later she tore up a copy of the State of the Union address as the president finished his speech.


 


Acts of a petulant child, not a dignified member of Congress. But political games were all the thing, having to pass a bill before knowing what it said. Everything in place for a like-minded president to come to power, tearing down the nation's border security, followed by a hearty "Come on in!!" to everyone no matter how evil they were.

Why? It could be a deranged belief in free access. I subscribe to a simpler theory. Money and power. It was well-established that the president's son was using the office of the presidency to make money from foreign governments. There are strong hints that some money was fed to the father. I believe deals were made to cartels for easy access to the US, allowing for unfettered transit of gang members, their human cargo, women and children for sexual exploitation, and huge amounts of deadly drugs.  In return, money and promises of votes using illegal methods.



This president issued a blanket pardon of the corrupt drug-addicted son. Then commuted nearly every Federal prisoner on death row, claiming he did not believe in the death penalty. Words so fitting a person who belongs in prison awaiting punishment for treason. A modern day Nero, with the blood of thousands on his hands and far more than 13 shekels of silver in his pockets as payment.





I am furious at what has happened. But it's not my job to meet out justice, that task will be handled by the Lord. What matters now is cleaning up the mess.

Thoughts from the Back Porch

 It's been a busy couple of weeks recently. There was an attempt to assassinate former president Trump. Amid mounting pressure, President Biden quit his reelection effort. Vice President Harris is now the Democrat candidate for that office. Ukraine forces have crossed into Russia near Kursk, making substantial gains. It was a minor miracle that Mr. Trump survived the attempt on his life. The shooter was nearly at point-blank range for the AR-15 he was wielding. My observations on the matter... After the attempt and subsequent killing of Thomas Crooks, his parents seem unemotional. Your son tries to kill a nationally known figure, then is shot dead by a counter sniper, and you just go "oh well"? The detachment shown is striking. The shooter was alone on that rooftop. However I'm not convinced Crooks planned this attack by himself. Somebody managed to radicalize this man enough to want to assassinate a major political figure. Where did he get the idea of using drones, r...

Deplorable - yes I am!!!

During the 2016 presidential election one candidate made a comment about some people favoring her opponent as being "deplorable". It was a comment that was intended to follow up another earlier presidential candidate's comment, in part saying, "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion...". The deplorable comment really hit home and not in a positive way for the woman from New York by way of Arkansas and Illinois. I'm quite sure it cost her Wisconsin along with several other states. She's been in a petulant snit ever since, claiming she was robbed of the office she believes she was entitled to. What both candidates failed to understand is people do cling to religion and have a strong tie to owning firearms. It's not a weakness or some throwback attitude, but basic American philosophy. By trying to denigrate those attitudes they triggered a backlash so massive that years later they're still blinking and saying to themselves, "What h...

It's really gone too far.

It's been over a year now since COVID-19 made it's first appearance on the world stage. And like a bad guest it's overstaying it's welcome. Through mutations, pools of the populace resisting preventative treatment, as well as an annoying ability to re-infect some folks this bug keeps defying the expert's expectations. Or are they experts? In order to be qualified as an expert you have to possess advanced knowledge on the matter. While the people who have been making frequent appearances before the press are highly trained scientists and physicians, they have little to no prior background with this virus. For all their degrees and years running this program or that they really are in the dark about how this bug operates. The guy at the podium is making a lot of guesses, perhaps well-grounded, perhaps not about what is going on and what to do about it. Meanwhile public officials had to do something. In the name of public safety a vast array of policies, regulations, a...
