Daily Verse | Ezra 6:12
May God, who has caused his Name to dwell there, overthrow any
king or people who lifts a hand to change this decree or to
destroy this temple in Jerusalem. I Darius have decreed it.
Let it be carried out with diligence.
Happy Thursday as we head toward the final day of the week. Neither G.I. Joe nor Barbie were anatomically correct.
So how is everybody liking this new administration? Are we all having fun yet?
I’m old enough to remember sitting in the gas lines of 1973 during the Nixon administration. The average price was supposedly about 38.5 cents per gallon, but I faintly recall seeing gas for .27 cents per gallon while sitting in line with my dad to fill up. I think we had an odd-number license plate which told us which day we could visit the gas stations.
The gas crisis is supposedly out on the east coast, but the Sam’s Club here in the Midwest had long lines, two of their pumps were locked, and it was $3.05/gal. I expect that we’ll soon see a run on gas as people hoard or rush to fill up before the wells dry up.
And inflation is rising at the fastest pace since 2008. Yippee! Biden is returning us to normal so fast, we missed Exit 2015 and wound up traveling back to five decades ago.
Some say that history doesn’t repeat itself. Maybe so, but if this isn’t a repeat, it’s a darn good impression. We’ve got a war starting in the Middle East, Iran is causing most of the trouble, Russia is meddling by hacking a U.S. gas pipeline within the borders of our country (but no one can hack an election!) and China is laughing its fortune cookies off over all the chaos they’ve sown with the weaponized bat virus.
But no more mean tweets!
As the country circles the drain, we’ve got an incompetent, drooling mediocrity pretending to have it all under control but calling a lid at 3:34 p.m. on Tuesday. Just a reminder that president-in-exile Trump only slept four hours a night and he got things done. Resident Biden has to take naps to let his brain reset and just lets the country (and the rest of the world) go to hell. I suppose that’s a form of getting things done.
But … no more mean tweets!
Hope all of you “Americans” who voted for Joe Biden are loving what you’ve brought down on our heads. Hope you virtue signaling whiners about how “racist” and “misogynist” and “xenophobic” and “nativist” Trump was are getting your third Obama term, good and hard.
No more mean tweets!
Fortunately, Republicans took a necessary step yesterday and ousted Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from her House leadership position. Republicans need to rid themselves of the #NeverTrump and other squish Republicans who act like Democrats. So-called “Republicans” like Cheney, Mitt Romney and Adam Kinzinger. Maybe they’ll all do us a favor and start their own par — hey, look at this!
More than 100 Republicans, including some former elected officials, are preparing to release a letter this week threatening to form a third party if the Republican Party does not make certain changes, according to an organizer of the effort.
The statement is expected to take aim at former President Donald J. Trump’s stranglehold on Republicans, which signatories to the document have deemed unconscionable.
Not “more than 100 Republicans”! Fey!
You know who’s on that list? People like Christine Todd Whitman, former governor of New Jersey who governed like a Democrat. Tom Ridge, former governor of Pennsylvania. Crazy Barbara Comstock. And guess who’s organizing this pathetic effort? Miles Taylor, the former Trump administration low-level DHS official who wrote an Op-Ed and a book (anonymously) condemning Trump while still a paid member of the administration!
Nothing like being a traitor and then calling other traitors to join you in a new political party. Maybe call themselves the “Backstabbers.” Has a nice, authentic ring to it.
These are a bunch of washed up politicians looking for their next grift, who want to pull us back to the good ol’ days of pretending to fight the Democrats while living off the backs of taxpayers. I say, with all sincerity, good riddance.
Unfortunately, that’s the only really good news coming out of Washington. For now, the best we can do is ride the waves that the current occupant of the White House is creating, holding on for dear life and praying that there’s a red tsunami in the mid-terms.
That is, if the current regime isn’t successful in codifying into law the illegal tactics it used to steal the 2020 election.
