After two multi-day birthday celebrations in the family, and also noting my 41st wedding anniversary in the past week and a half, it’s time to play catch-up on events with an installment of news and views.
NEWS: Score another one for Donald Trump, who in advance had painted the Saturday Justice for J6 rally as a setup. Of a reported four arrests at the sparsely attended event, one was an undercover law enforcement person dressed in Antifa attire.
VIEWS: Marie Antoinette Pelosi and her other “INSURRECTION” fetishists in Congress are going to have to try harder to gin up another incident to cry about for nine months while ignoring doing the work of the nation.
NEWS: CARFAX reports the short supply of used cars, which has caused prices for pre-owned transportation to skyrocket, may be about to get an infusion of 200,000 or more fresh units.
VIEWS: The bad news, according to CARFAX, is those mostly will be flood-damaged cars from recent tropical storms, being dumped on the unsuspecting.
NEWS: We continue to learn that members of the Federal Reserve Board, who control interest rate policy in this nation, have made big profits investing in stocks whose share prices they have boosted with their prolonged easy money policy. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell just happened to hold about $1.5 million in municipal bonds of the sort the Fed stepped in to support the prices of by buying them during the March 2020 COVID crisis.
VIEWS: Just remember, the investing community is an elite private club, and the general population doesn’t qualify for membership.
NEWS: Our military finally has admitted that a drone strike on a supposed ISIS-K target shortly after the Kabul Airport bombing in fact killed a humanitarian aid worker and nine other civilians, including seven children.
VIEWS: You may recall reading here my suspicion that the rapid-fire drone retaliation attacks, bragged about by Clueless Joe Biden, happened too quickly to be legitimate considering how our “intelligence” community and military were unable to thwart the airport bombing despite their claims to have had ample forewarning. It just didn’t smell right that they could go from inept to surgically accurate in hours.
NEWS: A lawyer who worked for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign has been indicted for the felony of lying to the FBI about a RussiaGate story he was spreading. He joins a former FBI lawyer who entered a guilty plea to lying to the FISA court to further surveillance on Carter Page in promoting, once again, the since-discredited RussiaGate hysteria.
VIEWS: Even the simpleton Biden voters should have a hard time ignoring the truth that RussiaGate was just as much a sham as the 2020 election results. But, like the puppet they worship, Biden voters will continue to deny the facts.
NEWS: It has come to light that the designer of AOC’s Met Gala gown/political statement, a white frock with “Tax the Rich” scrawled on it, looking like a child had gotten into mommy’s (daddy’s?) lipstick, is herself a tax deadbeat, having been slapped with 15 tax warrants since 2015.
VIEWS: More liberal hypocrisy. I’m shocked, just shocked!
NEWS: An FDA advisory panel voted 16-2 against giving vaccine booster shots to all adults, citing safety concerns. The panel did agree by an 18-0 vote that elderly and those with health conditions that increase their COVID risk, could get the boosters.
VIEWS: Flip-flopping Fauci rushed to the microphones of weekend news shows to ignore the current science considered by the panel members on the 16-2 vote and anticipate new science would change their minds. So, now scientists have been reduced to being lumped in with vote count manipulators, expected to bring in supposed one-sided last-minute results that favor the agenda of the elitists. Can we demand a recount?
