The sun is shining Monday morning and the birds (at least those that live in my house) are singing. If only things were going as well on the socio-economic, political and war fronts.
‘Tis time for a question and answer blog post to weigh in on current events.
Q: Isn’t it sad that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being denied due process and is facing deportation to Uganda?
A: Not really. The so-called “Maryland Dad” is owed little “due process” as a person in this country illegally. Read my lips: He is not a CITIZEN!!!!!! I can’t believe the leftist, activist judges got him back on the streets, for perhaps another chance to beat his wife. It is that wife who went to police claiming spousal abuse, recall. Get him out of this country, and send about 14 million other illegals with him. I will glady pay legal citizens more to mow my grass and watch my children, except I mow my own grass and though my son is an adult, my wife and I do watch his children free of charge.
Q: How can President Donald Trump and his posse decry socialism while taking stock in computer chip manufacturer Intel?
A: Because, as more than one economist, analyst or adviser has noted, the government already had given Intel billions of dollars via the Clueless Joe Biden giveaway that went by the name of the Chips Act. The Intel stock the federal government has received is a form of paying back the money. If perennial whiners like Rand Paul want to claim socialism, fine. But, the socialism was commited by the Biden gang and Trump is merely acting to get compensation for the handout.
Q: What are the odds Ukraine and Russia will come to an agreement to stop the fighting?
A: Slim and none, and none just left for the Middle East, where Zelenskyy’s inner circle has been accused by some media of sending $50 million or so a month to create a soft-landing spot. Left with a choice of trusting Zelenskyy or Putin, I opt for neither. Give Trump credit for trying. But he’s got to realize this is one promise he cannot fulfill because it’s mostly in the hands of others. Include in that group the European leaders who came uninvited to Washington, D.C., to chaperone Zelenskyy on his last visit here.
Q: But, surely you think the U.S. should weigh in on the side of Ukraine if fighting continues?
A: No. Sure, sell arms to Ukraine, but make sure we’re not just getting paid with the money we’ve already sent there. No boots on the ground. No air support. No more handouts. Unlike the war on drugs, here is a conflict we can win by just saying no.
Q: Why do people continue to get the vapors over the prospect of Mamdani The Commie being elected mayor of New York City?
A: Not sure. It will turn the city into even more of a hell hole, but, like most of those expressing concern, I don’t live in New York City and have no plans to visit. If the good voters of the metropolis elect this hack, they deserve all the pain they will receive. If and when Mamdani does win, opponents can vote with their feet and leave. Also, once Mamdani either fails to deliver on promises of free stuff, or does so and wrecks the city finances, just say no to him, too, when he comes begging for a federal bailout. Big boys have to pay for their own messes, even if they are so weak they need help bench-pressing a small amount of weight.
