WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CARE?

I sit down in front of this computer every week to prepare a column. I try to be informative with a bit of common sense and even some humor. My subject is usually politics. 

 

Writing about Biden is very easy. It is tempting to use this forum to complain about him every week, but that would be a disservice to my readers. 

 

This week I want to ask about the people around him. Now, first of all I believe sincerely that Biden is mentally incompetent to fulfill the job of President. So then, who is making the decisions that are coming out of this Administration? Who is pulling the strings? When you see Biden without a script, he is pitiful. He often gets lost in the minutia of anything that is happening. Sometimes it's funny, but sometimes it is just plainly dangerous. The world is watching us. 

 

So, what about the people around him? They see the same thing everybody else sees. They surely understand the problem here. Or do they? Do they think all of this is okay?

 

I do not believe every Democrat is on board with what is going on. Biden's poll numbers are worse than Jimmy Carter's. Let's face it. The numbers couldn't be good because everything this bunch has touched has gone into the toilet and now they are contemplating shutting down another vital pipeline. Are they crazy?

 

Here's a name you are probably not familiar with, Saule Omarova. She is their nominee for Controller of the Currency. She was educated at the University of Moscow and is probably a communist. Regardless of that, she wants to see our entire fossil fuel industry bankrupt and is on record with that desire. No oil, no gasoline, no coal, and certainly no nuclear.  I guess she plans to ride to work on a mule. Travel to Europe would have to be by sail boat. There would be no airline industry. What nonsense. This is not the nineteenth century. The vast majority of the food we and the entire world needs is produced using fossil fuels. Democrats know that. 

 

This brings me to the purpose of this column. Where are the people who know these continued screw ups will destroy our country? Surely they are around somewhere. Where are the people who know we wouldn't survive even a day without fossil fuel? Everything that makes us a successful economy is based on the ability to fuel the machinery of agriculture, manufacturing, business, and defense. We don't hitch up a wagon to go to town anymore. We don't go out and milk our cow in the morning now. Can you imagine what living or working on the 50th floor of a building without an elevator would be like? Me neither. 

 

China is sitting back, laughing at us. Iran and North Korea must think we are complete morons to even consider the idea of eliminating fossil fuels. 

 

No doubt a time will come in the future when we will have alternate fuels. But we have to have the new fuels before we eliminate the old ones. That is just common sense. Anyone who cannot grasp that idea should just be ignored.

 

It is time for intelligent people to stand up and be heard. Put the morons in their place.
