I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN AND OTHER LIES

I was recently watching one of my favorite TV preachers, David Jeremiah, who spoke on the subject of lying. His message was, don't believe the lies. He went on to explain more specifically the lies from the national media as well as those from politicians. It is clear that we are being lied to on a regular basis.

 

I have to admit. I have spent most of my life as a naive watcher of the news and the political scene. I even believed it when Walter Cronkite said, "and that's the way it is" at the close of his newscast. I, like millions of others, thought that truly was the way it was. Well, that has come to a crashing halt. I have lost all confidence in the credibility of any news source. Today Fox News comes as close to the truth as anybody. They are famous for their slogan, "We report, you decide." Unfortunately they decide what they report. The decision not to cover an important story is the same as lying about it. 

 

When you look at the important issues facing this country today, how could you not report on the invasion at the southern border? How could you ignore the Americans we left behind enemy lines in Afghanistan? What about Hunter Biden? Any reasonably intelligent person knows he sells influence and access to his father. And he has been doing it for years. I guarantee you Uncle Joe is getting his share too. The news agencies who refuse to cover this are all guilty of lying to the country. 

 

Let's see now. "You can keep your own Doctor." Or "I did not have sex with that woman." Here's one, "We will leave no Americans behind in a war zone." Or, "Our southern border is closed. Don't even try to come or we will just deport you back to your home." In reality there are too many lies to cover in this brief column, but they are all lies. 

 

I heard Biden tell a group of reporters that the Border Patrol whipped Haitian illegal trespassers with leather whips from horseback the same way slave owners whipped their slaves years ago. Another lie. The Border Agents held reins to their horses, which is how one controls a horse, and did not use any whips of any kind. Just another lie.   

 

I like "Trust the science." Hmmm. In the last few days I have heard from many "scientists" and they all seem to have different views of what is going on. From Covid to Global Climate Change, it seems you can find an expert to say anything you want them to say. Just like the actual origin of this virus. Any reasonable person with an ounce of intelligence knows the Chinese developed this virus as a weapon and it got away from them. I'm sorry but, no, I don't trust science either. 

 

In years past we had good reason to trust our government. I fear those days are gone. We seem to have a bunch of power-hungry money grubbers who will say anything, do anything, endorse anything which will lead to more power. 

 

It is going to be left to the people. Pay attention to what these clowns are saying. If it looks like a lie and sounds like a lie, it probably is a lie.

 

Eventually the chickens come home to roost. Hillary's big lie about Trump's involvement with the Russians, which was always a lie from the onset, is now being shown as nothing more than a political dirty trick which very nearly put lying Hillary Clinton in the White House. In the final analysis it served only to harm Trump's agenda. I would love to see Hillary in an orange jumpsuit. I remember my mother's words, "Liars never prosper." We can only hope that comes to pass.

USE THE FRONT DOOR

We are barely into the eighth month of the Biden Administration and I am already tired of writing about it and him. I have never seen such incompetence and downright stupidity. I would truly like to point out any positives if there were any. But there are none. It isn't necessary to go into all the crap that has befallen this great nation since he took over, but I would like to comment on one of the most dangerous situations that has recently arisen. 

 

In Del Rio, Texas there is a bridge. It is a normal bridge, but today it serves not as a bridge but as home for approximately 15,000 illegal aliens. They are camped out there with no running water and only portable bathroom facilities that Del Rio is supplying. There is no food supply and no electricity. These people have been there for several days and more are showing up every day. 

 

It was reported today that many strange diseases run through these individuals. Measles, Covid 19, Variants of all kinds, Leprosy, TB, STDs of all kinds, and probably more that we have never heard of. The people there are coming from all over the world and many from countries that know nothing about preventative health care.

 

What are we doing about it? I just heard a report that said many of these illegals are being gathered up and dropped off in cities all over the country bringing their issues with them. That means that children will be going to school with other children who cannot speak English and carry with them diseases which we have long since dealt with. Isn't it kinda puzzling how you can't even go into some restaurants or get on any airplane without the vaccination, but you can wade across the shallow part of the Rio Grande River and be welcomed with open arms and all that living in this great country offers?

 

This bit of chaos along with all the other screw-ups under Biden's watch is what we would call unforced errors. In football it's like a pre-snap penalty. It is mistakes caused by ignorance or just lack of concentration. The problem is, of course, this isn't a football game. Real lives are at stake. 

 

Guess what? The Democrats know this too. All those who represent reddish or purple states are growing more and more concerned. 

 

The "border czar”, Kamala Harris, has disappeared. I guess she thinks all of this will just go away if she doesn't have to show up and deal with it. Wrong again, czaress. This mess is the ongoing legacy of the incompetence of the Biden/Harris White House so, Vice President Harris, you also are being held to account for this and all the rest. 

 

Voters, today's Democrats are not your parent's Democrats. There are no Harry Trumans around anymore. Today you have Nancy Pelosi and AOC. I don't know who is pulling the strings on Biden, but somebody is and they don't have the best interest of America as their guidance.

 

We truly do not know who is invading our country in Del Rio. There are probably drug dealers, terrorists, criminals of all stripes, and who knows what else. This is very dangerous and it is only going to get worse unless we fix it. Gather these people up and send them back to their own countries. Tell them if they want to become Americans, use the front door. Do it right and you may be welcome. Sneaking in will be a closed door for you.

NEVER FORGET

Never forget. We heard that a lot this past week-end. We heard it a lot twenty years ago right after the planes, having been hijacked by terrorists, flew into the buildings and into the ground in Pennsylvania. Estimates are that three thousand people were killed. Since then, there have been many, many more.

 

This has been an interesting weekend. Parades, flags, military celebrations, in fact all manner of celebration. What happens then this week? Will we pack all this away for another twenty years? Will we sorta remember or sorta forget? 

 

Let me tell you of an experience I had nineteen years ago. I had to take a flight to somewhere for business. I don't remember much about why I was traveling but I most certainly remember something that happened on the trip. 

 

I was sitting with two other guys who were also traveling on business. That's what we did. A couple of flight attendants came up to us to have a conversation. The first thing out of the attendant's mouth was, "Do you know what today is?" Immediately I responded, September 11th. That's when it hit me. I hadn't thought about it but I was flying exactly one year after the attack on our country by terrorists.

 

She asked had you forgotten? If you were in the airline industry you certainly wouldn't have forgotten. In fact, she added, some airline employees even refused to show up for work on September 11, 2002. 

 

At that point I was a bit disappointed in myself. How could I have not thought more about this date, this event, that so affected our lives? I suspect that I, like so many others, had just resumed our lives. We all had jobs. Children to raise, bills to pay. You know, the regular things that we do. I certainly didn't forget, I just didn't dwell on it. 

 

The flight was otherwise uneventful and so I went on with my life. Meanwhile America hit back. We sent a lot of goat herders to a different century. Thousands of so-called fundamentalists were sent to meet their Maker and try to explain their actions. The problem was not the number of enemy that we killed but rather the number left alive. 

 

Today, because of ill advised choices made by the Biden Administration, Afghanistan is being ruled by the same thugs who were there twenty years ago, and they haven't changed their opinion of us. Plus, we left them millions of dollars’ worth of weaponry and helicopters. There is no doubt that we will have to go back there to finish the job. We can never allow terrorist thugs to govern a country. There is a ten-million-dollar bounty on the head of one of their high up officials. Eventually they will be taken out. That goes for Iran and North Korea as well. Remember, no war ever ends until there is a clear winner and a clear loser. You can't just gather your marbles and go home. 

 

Listening to the Biden people trying to explain away their incompetence is humorous. They continue to blame everything on Trump. It isn't going to work. Secretary of State, Winken, Blinken, or Nod, whichever one he is, looks truly out of his element at the Congressional hearings.

 

The facts are simple. The chaotic pull out from Afghanistan was ill advised and poorly handled and we will doubtless have to go back to that rat hole country to finish the job we started. Because of the Taliban's pseudo need to kill Americans, that war will only end when we end it. There are no ties in war.

EXTORTION AND BLACKMAIL

What do you do when faced with a kidnapper's ransom demands? Do you just pay and hope for a good result? We have all heard about situations where ransom demands are paid and still the victims are never returned.  America Is today being extorted by kidnappers with all kinds of demands. We have a national policy concerning negotiating with terrorists. Did all of this change with this last election? I don't think so.

 

There are airplanes waiting to fly out of Afghanistan loaded with Americans and allies that are being held hostage by the Taliban. Imagine what could happen if we gave in to the demands of the Taliban with regard to these airplanes. If you haven't heard, the Taliban intends to hold those airplanes and their occupants for ransom. The ransom they want so far is for the US to recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan. Who knows what else they would demand if we gave in to this bit of criminal extortion?  What next, money? Arms? A seat on the Security Council? You name it and it is possible. 

 

There are good reasons we don't negotiate with terrorists or other criminal enterprises. If you give in once, it never ends plus others around the world would see our weakness and they would surely want to get in on the loot. 

 

The answer to this dilemma is much simpler than you might imagine. We send a brief note to the head thug of the Taliban and we tell him, either release those airplanes and people immediately or we, as I heard recently from a veteran, will bomb you back to the century you came from. These are not sophisticated war fighters. They are goat herders. We have weapons that can chase them back to their caves and weapons which can seal those caves in a matter of seconds. Problem solved.

 

What would Trump do? Biden needs to grow a pair and put America first. If you have seen recent polls, Biden's numbers are falling like a lead balloon. The only question I have is who are the 40% who think he is doing a good job? 

 

This is not the America that is and always has been my home. We don't knuckle under to ransom demands from anyone anywhere. The problem is that we haven't shown our true self to the world in some time. They need to see it. They need to know who they are dealing with. (Or maybe they already do???)

 

To you liberals out there, no, we all just can't get along. There are people who hate us and our way of life. The Taliban just shot and killed a popular Afghanistani folk singer because they don't like music. You don't dare live as a homosexual there. They literally throw these people off of buildings to their death. Do you think you could just get along with animals like that?

 

These people only understand one thing, and that is power. The opposite of power is weakness, and that's what they are seeing. We are rapidly approaching the point where it could be too late. 

 

I don't know how long our Congress will put up with this nonsense. I don't know how long the American people will put up with it. It is clear that things have to change.

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM

 

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM

 

Like most of you I have been watching some of the recent Presidential press conferences. I am astounded by the physical deterioration I have witnessed in Joe Biden. That, of course, is in addition to the obvious mental deterioration. 

 

The job of president is an awesome responsibility and not everyone is up to it. We have all seen how individuals age while in that office. But it usually takes longer than six months for that aging to show up.

 

It is pretty obvious to me that he arrived in office as damaged goods but that condition was withheld from the American people during the campaign. The media had decided that Trump was going to be removed so they chose to ignore everything else to serve that end. Now here we are involved in the biggest debacle in foreign policy history.

 

Americans are dying and there is a good chance some will be abandoned in our haste to bail out of Afghanistan. It appears we are rushing to meet some "red line" so as not to upset the Taliban. Are you kidding me? America sets red lines, not the other way around. 

 

Another thing I saw at a recent press conference amazed me. The president made some wise crack to a reporter and "somebody" cut his microphone off. ??? At another presser he said that he had been given a list of what reporters to call on. ??? Tell me who has the authority to cut off the microphone of the President of the United States? Who are the "people" who can give the President a list of people he can call on at a press conference? I think I would like to see a press conference with whoever is pulling the strings on Joe Biden. 

 

We have suspected for some time that Biden was not making the decisions coming out of his office. Who is, and by what authority? 

 

Consider what our country has experienced just since January 20. That was day one of the Biden regime. Runaway inflation, insecure southern border with tens of thousands of illegal aliens from all over the world crossing our border, increasing crime in many major cities. All of this was in an effort to cancel all things Trump. Now we have a catastrophe in Afghanistan. Pelosi and the liberal Democrats are hell bent on bankrupting the country with massive spending bills. 

 

Quite frankly, let's face it, it is unsustainable. It has to stop. There are a number of high-ranking people demanding that Biden resign. I gotta tell you. That ain't gonna happen. My own Congressman just said that America is unsafe with Biden in office. Hmmm. So, what are you doing about it?

 

Then there's the 25th Amendment crowd. If you are unaware of this little gem, it basically is a Constitutional way to remove a sitting President if he, or a majority of his Cabinet deem that he is unable to continue in office. What do you suppose the chances of that happening? Oh, and there's this other little problem of who steps in to take over. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Kamala Harris, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi patiently waiting in the wings as next in line.

 

To put it best, Houston, we have a problem. 

 

So, what now? How will we deal with all this? I readily admit, I don't know. I do not believe the American people should rise up and rebel. The Congress definitely has a role here. There has to be several Democrats who know we cannot and will not continue on this path into oblivion. How do we get their attention?

 

Can we last until the next election? Yes. We have a problem, but we, the people, are the solution.
