WE HAVE TO HANG ON FOR DEAR LIFE

I just watched Biden giving a speech on the reason we are having inflation. His contention is that there are two reasons for our inflation. Number one, he says, was the worldwide pandemic caused by Covid. His second reason was, in his words, Putin's war on Ukraine.  

 

Now, while both of these situations are bad, they are not the reason we are suffering this inflation. The first problem is he announced this to the world and the second big problem is that Biden might actually believe what he's saying. By placing the blame on these events, he relieves himself and his administration of the true blame. It also basically guarantees inflation will be with us for a long time. 

 

His words should prove to all who listened that this job is too big for Joe Biden. All includes Republicans and Democrats alike. He has been in and around politics in Washington for about fifty years. That should have given him sufficient knowledge to deal with these issues. It reminds me of my guitar playing. I have played the guitar for maybe seventy years, but I didn't learn anything new after the first year. So, I have been replaying my first year for seventy years. Those of you who have heard me play understand what I'm saying.

 

Now we are going to play the game "What If". What if Trump had not lost the election? Let's consider inflation. Trump would not have canceled the Keystone Pipeline or stopped drilling on public lands. Gasoline and diesel would be the same price as two years ago. We would still be energy independent and actually selling oil and gas to Europe, not begging some Middle Eastern dictator to sell us oil. Do you realize how much of our economy revolves around the cost and availability of fuel? Today diesel fuel costs around $5.50 a gallon. It is obvious who has to pay for this fuel. I saw a bumper sticker recently that said, "if you have it, it was brought to you by a trucker." Diesel fuel has more than doubled under Biden. Thanks Joe. 

 

But Ron. What about the war in Ukraine? Ok, who among you actually believes Putin would have attacked Ukraine if Trump were in the white House? He probably is crazy, but he's not stupid. Trump made our position clear to the entire world. Sadly, so has Biden. The difference is unmistakable. Trump conveyed strength and Biden's demeanor and presentations display weakness. Putin sees that. In fact, the whole world sees that. I firmly believe if Trump were still in the White House, Putin and his thug army would still be in Russia happily guzzling vodka.

 

Let's consider the southern border. If Trump were still in office we wouldn't be having a crisis there. First, by now, the border fence would probably be completed. The illegal aliens would have a much more difficult time invading this country. The illegal drugs that are pouring across that border would be greatly hampered. Remember, Trump had an agreement with Mexico that these illegals would have to stay in Mexico until their court cases could be heard. The Biden administration has done everything in their power to eliminate all things Trump and it is biting them in their posterior. 

 

For the sake of this country Biden has to be removed. If Harris proves to be the incompetent that she has displayed so far, we remove her too. In November we elect adults who have the intelligence to do the jobs. Until then we hang on for dear life.

NEVER AGAIN

When is enough, enough? Did you see the Easter Egg Roll at the White House? A couple of things happened that require comment. 

 

Biden was working the crowd when someone asked him a question about foreign affairs. Biden dutifully attempted to answer the question when suddenly the Easter Bunny interrupted and stepped in between Biden and the crowd and led him away. It turns out that Mr. Bunny was actually a staffer from the Administration. Someone, either the bunny or someone else gave the order to shut Biden up immediately. Mission accomplished. 

 

The second event that happened that day was Biden's lovely wife directing him where to stand and what to do. It was pitiful to watch. Biden looked totally lost. 

 

I have a simple question. Who is running the show? Who is in charge? Who is the President, the most powerful man in the world? Kinda scary, huh? Maybe it's the Easter Bunny. Maybe it's Mrs. Biden. Who knows? 

 

The problem here is not difficult to understand. Our enemies see the same things we see and it isn't good. They see weakness and senility when they need to see strength. 

 

One of the liberal New York newspapers recently published the possible Democrat contenders for President in 2024. Their number one was Biden. Number two was not Harris. She was number three. Number two was Pete Buttigieg. Now let's think about this. Buttigieg is living an open homosexual life where he serves as the wife. If he became President, what would we call his husband, first queer? Personally, I don't get it. 

 

Meanwhile we continue to wallow in inflation caused not by Putin, but in fact caused by Biden. While it is sad to consider, we are in this situation because Biden and his handlers decided that anything Trump created had to be destroyed and changed. Thus began the downfall of our economy, our energy independence, our place in the world, and our southern border. All of these were under control under Trump. Now they are all in free fall. Thank you Biden voters. 

 

Secretary Mayorkis just testified to Congress that the Biden Administration inherited a mess at the border caused by Trump. Attention Mr. Secretary. Nobody believes that nonsense. If you do, you are even dumber than we all thought. The mess has been caused and exacerbated by idiotic decisions coming from your department and from Biden. All because you have to blame your incompetence on Trump instead of yourself. Look in the mirror. There you will see who is actually to blame. 

 

Every day Biden gets worse. He loses his way. He has always been a screwup waiting to happen but now it is happening. He is screwing up and we will be the ones to pay for all of this. My wife asked a simple question. Surely the Democrats can see the same things we are seeing. What will they do about it? Right now Putin is probably laughing at us, while the rest of the world is shuddering.

 

One final thought. Who really believes Hunter Biden is an upstanding, honest, and just lucky individual to receive millions from China and from Russia? Who believes Joe didn't get in on the loot? They have been involved in activities that would put the Mafia to shame. Here in a country of law and order, they need to be outed and prosecuted. In November when this country begins its recovery with Republicans running the Congress, we will see just such prosecutions. 

 

You and I know Biden's election was more about a vote against Trump than a vote for Biden. The national media made their choice and would not be denied. They got their wish. And we are left to pay the bill. We all need to promise, never again.

SOME OBSERVATIONS AND SOME FREE ADVICE

Okay. Biden got his Supreme Court Justice. She is black, and she is a woman. Those were his requirements. She is also a flaming liberal who has been overturned many, many times. Had I been picking a justice I would probably have had different requirements. The fact that she is a black woman neither qualifies nor disqualifies her. I would be more concerned that she could read and understand English. And that she had a thorough understanding of the Constitution. Oh, and that she knew what a woman was.

 

The next issue rearing its ugly head is our southern border. Article 42 is in place to keep individuals in Mexico if they represent significant threat due to various diseases. It is not just for covid but many diseases like tuberculosis for example. Biden is set to lift this restriction on May 23. The border control people tell us that when this article is lifted, tens of thousands will rush our border. Too many to be dealt with. We are told by the time Biden's term has ended, fully 20% of the population in America will be illegal aliens. That's not a happy thought. 

 

This brings us to ugly number three. That is Putin's invasion and slaughter of thousands in Ukraine. It was just reported that over 100,000 children have been kidnapped by his thug army and taken to Russia. Like you, I ask how is this possible? Why is the free world looking the other way? I suspect they fear Putin's nuclear capability. Well guess what. We also have nuclear capability and it probably is far superior to Putin's. It is well past time that we put the hammer down and send what would be left of Putin's army back to their rat hole country. Then we should immediately arrest Putin for war crimes. This is the 21st century. We no longer are tribal crazies. Putin needs to learn that.

 

Shame on Putin but also shame on the free world for allowing this brutal carnage to continue. Are we so afraid of this little punk that we look the other way? Putin should be the one who is afraid. And we should immediately give him reasons to fear. As long as dictators like Putin are in power, we have to face the very real possibility of war. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan backed them down to bring an end to the USSR. It can happen again. The problem is, of course, Joe Biden is no Ronald Reagan.

 

Let's talk inflation. Biden says he is doing everything he can do to bring down inflation which he calls the Putin price hikes. I believe he is doing everything he knows to do to deal with the terrible inflation which he caused, not Putin. That's the problem. He doesn't seem to understand that it was his actions which caused this mess. His first step must be to restart our fossil fuel industry. Open up our pipelines. Open up our public lands for drilling and exploring. That would be a good start. It is amazing how that move would start the ball rolling. 

 

Finally, get a message to Putin and the Russian people. That message is simple. Bring your troops home and keep them there. Return the kidnapped children your thug soldiers took. Do so immediately or we, the free world, will take out a few cities in Russia. We will bomb Russia back to the 19th century. If you even think about using any nuclear weapon, there will be nothing left of Moscow for years in the future. 

 

I am offering these suggestions to Biden free of charge. Good luck.

HANG ON FOR NOVEMBER

I suspect that one of the busiest people in Washington is the guy who figures out how to spin Biden's latest blunders. This last trip to Europe produced some of the biggest of his presidency. Then, the spin doctors have to walk everything back as if no one was paying attention. They have to pretend there is no tape or video. I can imagine the room they are in and someone says nobody is going to believe this one. Then the chief spin doctor says of course they will. They've believed everything we have told them in the past. So, they get to work. The problem is, they probably are right. It's been going on for years. 

 

The next problem is the embarrassment of it all. Our enemies and our friends get our published news also. They see and hear what we all see and hear. I suspect they also see weakness. Our enemies love it when we show weakness. 

 

Biden obviously isn't the first to step on his tongue. Politicians have been doing it for years. But they seem to get away with it. One reason of course is the media which refuses to hold them to account. 

 

Speaking of holding people to account. Let's talk Hunter Biden. First of all, nobody with half a brain believes he was paid all those millions for his brilliance. He was obviously peddling influence. The laptop is real. The incriminating information on that laptop is also real. The big guy referred to in the language was without doubt Joe Biden. I wonder what his cut was. Hunter Biden has spent much of his life as a crackhead doper. I doubt he has ever had a real job. Now he's a millionaire. Is this a great country or what?

 

So, how does this all happen? Well, it helps if your father is the Vice President of the US. It even gets better when he becomes President. It also helps when the national media and the social media companies decide who they want to be President and who they do not want. That means that they question nothing about Biden. They allowed Joe Biden to run his campaign hiding in his basement. He had a free run.  

 

The media got their wish. They got an imbecile as President. Under his so-called leadership, this country has virtually gone backwards. In one year he has shown us his true nature. 

 

Our hope is for November. When the next election is over, I am all for impeachment of both Uncle Joe and Kamela. Then we start over again. Pelosi will also be gone because her majority will be gone. All we have to do is hang on.

A BIG SLOWDOWN

I have been posting a column to the web for several years. These have been weekly postings. Lately I have become aware that I have been doing a lot of griping about Biden and his terrible performance as President.

 

I have decided to cut back on my postings to maybe two a month. I could use the break and probably you could use a break from my complaining. I will continue to advise you of any posting when we do. If we change back to weekly columns, we will let you know. 

 

Thank you for being a loyal audience.

HOPEFULLY SANER MINDS WILL PREVAIL

It doesn't take a long time for me to get tired of a war. This Ukraine mess has been going on for over three weeks now and I have already had a belly full. I am sure I am not alone. Putin is an international terrorist who is also now a war criminal. He's a baby killer and seems to especially like civilian targets. 

 

Other world leaders seem reluctant to call him out for his crimes. But Ron, he's got nuclear weapons. We don't want to upset him. Well guess what. We have nuclear weapons too and probably much more sophisticated than Russia’s. It is long past the time when Putin worries about what we might do as we spend less time thinking about what Putin might do. Nobody wants a nuclear war but we cannot show any reluctance to defend the free world. 

 

We have seen the level of incompetence of his army just recently. They seem poorly trained and poorly led. Most are extremely young and miss their mommies. As more and more of them are shipped home in body bags, believe me, the parents and relatives of these kids are going to have some serious questions for Putin and his generals. Speaking of his generals, it has been reported that 3 or 4 of them have been killed by the Ukrainians in battle.  In addition, reports today are that up to 10,000 Russian soldiers have also been killed by the Ukrainians. I'm pretty sure that's not what Putin had in mind when he decided to invade this little country. 

 

Already thousands are demonstrating in Russia and other countries around the world. You can't do what Putin is doing without consequence. He has arrested thousands of his own citizens for even questioning the emperor's decisions. The news media in Russia can only report what the Kremlin allows. Any criticism of Putin results in a 15-year prison sentence.  

 

All of this leads me to hopefully believe this war will soon be over.  We are left with a nut case in Russia and a questionable case of senility here at home. Not a happy place to be. One hopes saner minds will prevail. We can only hope.

WHITE GUYS HISTORY MONTH

In February we observed "Black History Month." I thought that was great. Over the years of my life I have had several black heroes. My favorite singer has always been Ray Charles. Any song he ever covered became his own. Ray is followed very closely by my second choice, Johnny Mathis. He had a way of delivering a song that had to make the composer proud. Another black hero of mine is Barry Sanders. Probably the greatest running back pro football has ever seen. He made the game fun just moving and shaking through defenses who couldn't touch him. Quarterbacks rarely threw a pass when Barry was in the game. Now, lest you think my black heroes are limited to music and sports, my all time favorite economist was Dr. Walter Williams. I probably learned more about how our economy works from him than anybody I know. Dr. Williams is followed closely by Thomas Sowell. Another brilliant thinker who teaches what he knows. Of course I have had black friends along the way as well as employers and employees. 

 

No sooner had Black History month ended when "Women's History Month" came along. Wow, I thought, this is great. I have had many women heroes in my life. Why wouldn't we celebrate them? So, who are the female heroes in my life? Well, that's easy. Number one is and always has been my lovely wife, Linda. We are in our sixtieth year of marriage as of today. Some congratulate us for such a long marriage to which I say, it has been my pleasure. She gave this world two great people, my children. They have become, thanks to her marvelous teaching, outstanding and very productive citizens. I am confident they will continue to be assets to this country. My mother ranks high on my list of heroes. She was a very young country girl when she married my father. She didn't finish high school. She raised three sons and a daughter. And she figured out a way to feed them all with virtually no money. There was always enough food. I remember when she took a skinny little fryer chicken about the size of your fist, made a chicken pot pie, fed eight people and they all thought they had had chicken. She was amazing. There have also been some historical women who come to mind. Margaret Thatcher for one and then there's Condoleezza Rice. When Biden was looking for a woman "of color" to nominate for the Supreme Court, he passed right by Conde Rice. She is the right gender and the right color. She also has the advantage of being extremely intelligent. Maybe that was the reason Biden didn't pick her. 

 

Well, with those two months behind us, the only thing left is "white guys" month. That's gotta be next, right? You know as well as I that month is not going to happen. The reason is simple. White guys don't need any pandering. Wait Ron, you mean to tell me that Black History month and Women's History month are just examples of political pandering? Call me crazy, but yes, that's what I think. 

 

Clearly white guys have contributed more to the development of this country than any other group. I have more white heroes than I can count. And yes, some mistakes were made but more right decisions than wrong ones were made. For the most part we have corrected our mistakes. Let's face it. White guys are not going to get the recognition they deserve, but I don't think they care. I know I don't.
