FRANK ON FRIDAY – Unemployed Heroes

Roman generals whose legions had distinguished themselves in battle were awarded a triumph.  A parade, at which they were cheered through the streets of Rome and showered with honors.  But just to make sure they didn’t get any dangerous ideas, a slave would whisper in their ears, reminding them that, “all glory is fleeting.”  Ain’t that the truth!  Not much has changed in two thousand years.  Remember when, just a few months ago, healthcare professionals were being hailed as heroes?  I sure do.  Politicians slobbered all over themselves, each trying to outdo one another heaping praise on them.  People had lawn signs hailing the heroes.  The hospitals where they worked even got into the act.

The American Hospital Association said, “The front-line caregivers in the COVID-19 crisis, including nurses, physicians, facilities management personnel, technicians and other healthcare providers, are working around the clock to care for patients and our communities.  These essential workers need, and deserve, additional resources to both continue their work and support themselves and their families after this crisis.”  How touching.  They even suggested that our healthcare workers were superheroes.

Yesterday your doctors and nurses were just like Superman, but the Romans were right.  All glory is fleeting, because the tyrants who run our governments have discovered a new kryptonite – vaccine mandates.  That’s right.  Vaccine mandates are here and these essential workers, who once needed and deserved additional resources to continue their work and support themselves and their families, have been declared expendable.  It’s either, take the vaccine, or “You’re fired!”   Now, in truth, most of the sites that honored Healthcare Heroes were fundraising off the efforts of the selfless men and women (sorry, those are the only genders that exist) who put their lives in jeopardy to treat Wuhan patients, while waiting for useless public officials, including the same bastards who are now firing them, to figure out what they were trying to do.  While the Chinese infected and then lied to the world, they went to work.  While “experts” like Dr. Fauci assured us that the Wuhan wasn’t a threat, they went to work.  While idiot Governors killed tens of thousands by sending infected people back to nursing homes, they went to work.  While supplies were short, hours were long, pay was scant, and the bodies piled up outside, they went to work.  Senate Democrats even proposed $25,000 bonuses to be paid to healthcare workers.  It never happened, and I think that’s the only spending plan the bastards left out of their $3.5, or is it $5.5 trillion boondoggle.  But now they can’t go to work, unless they take the vaccine.  On a simplistic level, which is the only level that the mainstream media permits reporting to occupy, vaccinating healthcare workers doesn’t seem so extreme.  But simple is the one thing this issue is not.  Now, I said it before, and I’ll say it again, I’m not anti-vaccine, and unless you have a good reason not to get it, I think it’s a good idea to get it.  But again, it’s not that simple, because little things like reality, the truth, actual science, medical ethics, and the law have to be considered.  See, there’s this thing called natural immunity.  You may recall, early on in the Wuhan fiasco, doctors, including the ever-present and ever-irritating, Dr. Fauci used to talk about herd immunity.  That’s when the virus has gone sufficiently through the population, and so many people have become immune to it, that it stops spreading.  Now, many doctors say it will never happen, or doesn’t really exist.  Dr. Makary of Johns Hopkins says more than 100 million Americans have had and gotten over the Wuhan, and thus have natural immunity.  The Israelis just did a study of 2.5 million people.  That’s the study that recommended booster vaccines.  The U.S. experts accepted that, and Big pharma loved it.  The same study found that natural immunity is 27 times more effective than vaccine immunity.  That part, our experts ignored.  For the vaccine mandaters, people with natural immunity, and natural immunity itself, don’t exist.  Why not?  The excuse they always give is “the Delta variant.”  It all sounds like an Abbott and Costello routine –  So, if I take the vaccine, I’m protected from the Delta variant?  Oh, no.  I can still get it?  Sure.  I can still spread it, even with the vaccine?  Oh, yes.  So, why do I need to take the vaccine?  Because.  Because what?   Because we said so.  How about I just get the first shot?  No,  that’s not enough.  Then suppose I get the second shot too?  Sure, sure, but you can’t stop there.  Why not?  Well we’re also mandating a third.  A third what?  A booster.  What does it boost?  Protection.  What protection?  You need the third, to protect you from what you don’t get from the second and the first.  So if I take the first, the second, and the third then I don’t need a mask, right?  Oh no, you still need a mask.  Why?  To protect the others.  But I thought the vaccine protected them.  Who told you that?  Wear a mask anyway.  In fact, after the first, the second and the third shots, you should wear a second mask.  But I thought masks don’t work?  You’re not allowed to say that.  Why?  I don’t know, he’s on third, and I don’t give an damn!  The only problem is it’s not funny.  New York may fire 90,000 healthcare workers.  Who will replace them?  What do you think all those Haitians are for?  Actually, they’re perfect for the job, because Joe Biden says they don’t need to be tested, and we can’t force them to take a vaccine.  We have to give them welfare, and Medicaid, and Medicare, and free college tuition, but we can’t make illegal aliens take a vaccine.  That honor is reserved for American citizens.  You know, the stupid, hard-working, tax-paying jackasses who’ve been pulling that heavy wagon up that steep hill all these years, with all those worthy migrants, bums and idlers riding in the back.  Our priorities are seriously askew, and our judgment is warped.  A government that will punish its own citizens for not taking a vaccine, while at the same time admitting, circulating, and supporting hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated and infected aliens, is capable of anything.  When Haitian healthcare swaps vaccines for voodoo, you can count on one thing.  The government will still be blaming all ills on unvaccinated Americans.

FRANK ON FRIDAY – Biden Lies, America Dies

Have we reached the point in this country where the truth no longer matters?  When it comes to Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden, it looks that way.  You can’t blame him, though.  If you know the media will praise whatever you say, and will ignore, subvert, or discredit any inconvenient truths that may contradict your words, why would any politician ever tell the truth.  The truth is too confusing.  It contradicts with your stories, and with your agenda.  I gives credence to the notion that mere citizens actually have the right to know what’s really going on, and fosters the notion that mere citizens actually have the right to decide what kind of government they will have.  There was a time, not so very long ago, when I would have said of a politician, “He/she (or choose your own pronoun) won’t get away with that.  The public isn’t stupid enough to believe it.”  Now, I’m not so sure.  There used to be a firewall between the bald-faced liars of the government and the public.  The press, the media, the Fourth Estate, always was there to set the record straight.  The term Fourth Estate is attributed to British politician Edmund Burke.  In England, the three estates (powers) were the King, the clergy and the commoners.  In the United States, the press complemented the three branches of our government.  The purpose of this fourth element was to act as an counterbalance, an opposite force that was to report, verify and question matters of governance.  It was accepted that politicians couldn’t be expected to state the facts and uphold the truth without the coloration of political agendas, ideologies and opinions.  The Fourth Estate was to be different.  Its primary obligation was veritas.  It was the servant of the Truth.  We could rely on the press to serve its purpose.  We celebrated the independence of the press in our culture.  The reporter was revered as the guardian of the truth, always there to protect the citizenry from unscrupulous officials.  In Inherit the Wind, the reporter Hornbeck says, “Mr. Brady, it is the duty of a newspaper to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”  And so it was.  The press reported the doings of the government, but made sure never to get too close to it, for fear that its corruption might rub off.  Remember, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence?  There, the reporter, Mr. Peabody, has this reaction to a proposal that he join the government, “No!  I … I’m a newspaperman, not a politician!  No, politicians are my meat – I build ’em up and I tear ’em down but I wouldn’t be one I couldn’t be one – it’d destroy me.”  And so it has.  For today, the Fourth Estate has become a Fifth Column, whose purpose is to undermine our system of government in favor of a Utopian socialist workers’ paradise.  It’s madness, of course.  Only madmen/women/persons could zealously preach about imagined threats to their freedoms and independence, while at the same time ushering in a form of government that has hitorically destroyed press freedom and independence as its first official act.  Only a mass delusion can explain the mainstream media’s insistence on validating every lie uttered by Joe Biden and his Administration.  It can’t be Trump Derangement Syndrome.  They got rid of Trump.  The only explanation is that the media has concluded that the truth no longer matters.  Or, to put it another way, that the “truth” is what they say it is.  How else to ignore a President so steeped in personal corruption?  Witnesses come forth who attest to corrupt business deals.  His son’s laptop is full of images and messages admitting kickbacks to “the Big Guy.”  The media say it’s not true, it’s unproven.  It could be a Russian plot.  After his election, Joe Biden made a speech praising the “constant, unrelenting stream of immigration, not in little trickles but in large numbers,” that would change the demographic makeup of America.”  As President, he threw open the borders to a constant and unrelenting stream of illegal aliens, who will number more than 2 million by the end of 2021.  With a straight face, Biden tells us the border isn’t wide open, and the aliens aren’t really here.  DHS tells us the border is secure.  The media accepts this.  Biden tells us the military never warned him it was a bad idea to remove all troops from Afghanistan before getting civilians out.  This week, his generals swore they told him to keep troops in country, and Biden ignored them.  Biden’s stupidity cost the lives of 13 Marines, and permanently maimed dozens of others.  The media doesn’t talk about them.  It covers for these lies.  Inflation is significantly up for the first time in 40 years.  Food prices skyrocketing, the price of gas and oil up dramatically.  You know bad it is?  We had low inflation for so long that we had dollar stores, everything $1.  Now, the Dollar Tree has announced it’s raising prices.  It won’t change its name, just the prices.  Biden claims that runaway spending doesn’t affect inflation.  Economists will happy to learn this.  The media says nothing.  Right now, Democrats are trying to pass two bills that would add $6 to $7 trillion to the budget, destroy industries, greatly increase the tax burden on every American, severely damage our economy, give aid and comfort to our enemies, and usurp the election authority that our Constitution gives to the States.  Biden says that only the taxes of those making more than $400,000 will go up.  It’s a lie.  He says it really won’t cost anything, because it’s “paid for.”  I’m not even sure what that means, but I’m pretty sure it’s a lie, and a really stupid lie.  The media won’t call him out.  Senators Manchin and Sinema, so far, are standing in the way of passage of the $3.5 trillion (some say $5.5 trillion) ruinous bill.  They are being attacked by Joy Behar no less (and there is no less) as “enemies of democracy.”  No, Joy.  As the representatives of the voters who put them in office to carry out the will of the electorate, they are champions of democracy, not enemies.  The result of the media’s refusal to expose Joe Biden for the lying, cheating, thieving, senile crumb that he so clearly is, is that its credibility has been destroyed.  Nearly 3 out of 4 people don’t believe what’s being reported.  This is a healthy sign for our nation.  Maybe you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.  The media may have gone past the point of no return, and done itself permanent damage.  And for what?  To paraphrase Saint Thomas More, “It profits a newsman nothing to lose his soul for all the world, but for Joe Biden?”

FRANK ON FRIDAY – If You See Something

The other day, while I was shaving, I heard a public service announcement from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security which stirred me to action.  The DHS has designated tomorrow, September 25, as national “If You See Something, Say Something” Awareness Day.  As you know, we all must follow the instructions of the Corrupt Demented Imbecile Biden Administration, so this week, I will be reporting the suspicious activity I have seen.  The DHS describes the “If You See Something Say Something,” program, or IYSSSS for short, as follows, “Across the country, in our communities, we share everyday moments with our neighbors, family, coworkers, and friends.  We go to work or school, the grocery store, or the gas station.  It’s easy to overlook these routine moments, but as you’re going about your day, if you see something that doesn’t seem quite right, say something.  By being alert and reporting suspicious activity to your local law enforcement, you can protect your family, neighbors, and community.”  The DHS has constructed quite an elaborate system for implementing IYSSSS.  We are to recognize the signs of suspicious activity.  Signs like these.  “Threatening to commit a crime that could harm or kill people or damage a facility, infrastructure, or secured site;” “Stealing or diverting items;” “Testing a facility’s security to assess the strength or weakness of the target;” “Unauthorized people trying to enter a restricted area;” “Presenting false information or misusing documents to conceal possible illegal activity;” “Funding suspicious or criminal activity or recruiting people to participate in criminal activity;” and “Damaging or destroying part of a facility or infrastructure.”  I have seen something that implicates all the above signs of suspicious activity.  Therefore, it’s my patriotic duty to say something.  This is what I have seen in Texas –

 

That’s the International Bridge in Del Rio, Texas, which connects Del Rio with Ciudad Acuna, Mexico.  And those people wading across the Rio Grande are illegal aliens a/k/a “migrants,” mostly from Haiti, by way of Brazil, Venezuela, Central America, and Mexico.  The Haitians came across the river all Summer.  Some had been in Brazil since working there for the Rio Olympics.  The flow increased after the August 14 earthquake.  But the principal reason for the Haitian exodus is that Donald Trump was right.  Haiti is a Shithole.  (for details see the archives below, Frank On Friday, January 19, 2018).  In any event, when I saw the disturbing images from Del Rio, heard the DHS message, and then observed multiple signs of suspicious activity, I knew I had to act.  The mayor of Del Rio puts the number of illegals under the bridge at 14,000.  Their presence is highly suspicious.  They represent a threat to commit crimes that could harm or kill people or damage our infrastructure.  The invasion of more than 200,000 illegal aliens a month (that’s just the ones we know about) is testing our nation’s security to assess the strength or weakness of the target.  We are the target, and the weakness of the Biden Administration is palpable.  Hundreds of thousands of unauthorized people are trying to enter a restricted area – our Southern border.  Many of the invaders are misrepresenting themselves as families, and are presenting false identity information to conceal possible illegal activities such as drug smuggling, rape, and human trafficking.  Simply put it’s theft.  They are stealing our freedom.  Shady groups, including drug cartels, are funding this criminal activity and are recruiting people to participate in it.  This invasion is damaging the infrastructure of the United States of America.  So I am reporting this suspicious activity.  DHS suggests methods of doing this, such as downloading a bubble sign, writing down why you SeeSay, and posting photos on social media using #WhyISeeSay and #SeeSayDay.  They even have helpful signs.

  Some of them are even translated into useful languages.  DHS should have posted this one for the Haitians under the bridge –The situation in Del Rio, and all across the Southern border, is no less than a humanitarian disaster, orchestrated by Clueless Joe, from Scranton ya know?  Texas Congressman Jodey Arrington has observed, “It’s out of control.  We had another 300% increase year over year in the month of August and that’s a string of monthly record increases and those are just the folks we apprehend.  There are hundreds of thousands that are coming through that we don’t apprehend.  This is all an effect of the de facto open border policies of this administration.”  But Biden’s on top of it.  His administration has solved the problem of poor optics by banning Fox News from using drones to expose the extent of the disaster.  If you can’t see it, it never happened.  They’re also “processing” the illegal aliens at the border.  This consists of getting their names, having them claim asylum, and giving them Notices to Appear for a hearing sometime in the distant future.  Picture that.  Here are people with no identification documents, no addresses, no means of support, no ties to any U.S. community, and they’re free to go, we know not where.  I hope DHS is issuing them calendars and maps, because, much like our President, these people don’t know what day it is or where they are.  Oh, and by the way, DHS is not testing them for the Wuhan, is not requiring vaccinations, and unlike your two year old, none of them are being sanctioned for failing to wear a mask.  Just more evidence that the Democrats hate deplorable, smelly Walmart American citizens, and are trying to replace them with deplorable, smelly masses that will do their bidding.  As this is written, although some Leftists are decrying the needless deportations of “people of color,” the Biden Administration is celebrating the fact that it allegedly has flown more than 300 aliens out of the U.S.  Don’t cheer yet, it’s only window dressing.  Hundreds of thousands remain.  The Mexican president, who worked with Trump is screwing Biden, who has failed to speak with him even once about the crisis.  And a reported 20,000 more Haitians are now in Colombia, and headed for our border.  On top of this, the economy sucks, we’re at the mercy of China, and Democrats want to greatly increase your taxes and add another $7 trillion to the debt.  Journalist H.L. Mencken once said, “People get the government they deserve, and they deserve to get it good and hard.”  How true.  So, to all of you Biden voters, having fun yet?

 

 

FRANK ON FRIDAY – Your Body, No Choice

This week leftist hypocrisy reached a new peak.  The Leftist mental disorder, delusions of rectitude, the certainty that they’re always right, seems to have physical manifestations.  Leftists cannot hear, or don’t comprehend the things they themselves say.  Just when the Texas abortion law uproar had leftists marching in the streets, chanting, “My body, my choice,” Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden announced a Wuhan virus vaccine mandate, designed to deny Americans the right to choose what is done to their bodies.  As usual, the Left perceived no contradiction.  Let’s start with the proviso that I’m not one of the anti-vaccine advocates.  I’m not worried that the vaccine will permit the government to track me, or will make me magnetic.  As far as ill effects from the vaccine, Hell, I’m from New Jersey.  If I survived 66 years breathing the crap we call air and putting up with the aggravation we call normal life, what can a vaccine do to me?  I got the vaccine in the vain hope that the government was telling the truth when it said that, once vaccinated, we could go back to our normal lives.  They lied.  Restrictions and masking continue, and government tyranny is still warming up in the bullpen.  Anyhow, last week, Bozo Biden announced a vaccine mandate.  Much of his speech was incoherent and contradictory.  He said things are not nearly as bad this year as they were last year, and that fully vaccinated people are at incredibly low risk.  “Only 1 out of every 160,000 fully vaccinated Americans was hospitalized for COVID.”  Despite the low risk, he vowed “to protect the vaccinated from unvaccinated co-workers.”  As columnist John Podhoretz put it, “Biden was saying that they shouldn’t worry … but if they’re worried, their worries are justified.”  Got that?  Let’s look at the numbers.  The vaccines have been beneficial, but are things much better than they were last year?  As this is written, some 208 million Americans have been vaccinated.  The CDC confirms more than 42 million Americans have already had the Wuhan.  Conservative estimates put the number of Americans who now have natural immunity at more than 100 million.  All great right?  And all due to Biden’s steadying hand.  After all, 429,080 people died of the Wuhan while Trump was president, and their deaths are his fault.  Democrats told us so, so it must be true.  Keep in mind several things.  Trump was confronted by a novel virus about which the Chinese lied and hid the details.  No one knew how to treat it, or who was most likely to be affected.  And without Trump there would be no vaccines.  But it’s Trump’s fault 39,000 people per month died during his presidency.  Biden inherited vaccines ready to go, effective treatments for the Wuhan, and a much greater understanding of the workings of the virus, yet we still have 28,000 Wuhan deaths every month.  257,535 people have died of the Wuhan while Biden has been president, but it’s not his fault.  It’s your fault, if you’re not vaccinated.  Fear not.  Biden’s got a plan to fix it, and for once, he actually said something that’s undeniably true, “This is not about freedom or personal choice.”  Amen.  This has nothing to do with freedom.  Biden made that abundantly clear by announcing that he would be disregarding the Constitution from now on.  He demonized the unvaccinated.  There he has a point.  99% of the hospitalizations and more than 99% of deaths from the Wuhan are among the unvaccinated.  However, while the Left routinely blames low vaccine rates on Red State policies, the fact is most of the vaccine hesitancy exists in minority communities.  For instance, 73% of black Americans are unvaccinated.  Biden lost any credibility he might have had when he blamed Republican governors for the spread of the virus.  The governors aren’t mandating the masks that don’t work, and they aren’t requiring vaccine passports.  Biden threatened, “If these governors won’t help us beat the pandemic, I’ll use my power as president to get them out of the way.”  Indeed?  When I went to school, public health was the province of the States, and presidents don’t get to dictate State policy.  Biden’s about to find that out.  His speech was nothing more than the usual Biden B.S., huffing and puffing, acting all big and bad, and signifying nothing.  Democrats are hyping Wuhan hysteria for several reasons.  What you need to understand is that the virus is no longer a medical issue, it’s political, financial, and in some sense, religious.  Dr. Oz, no conservative he, opposes the vaccine mandate, and compares the risk of death for vaccinated people to that of dying in a motor vehicle accident.  So why announce the mandate now?  Biden needed to change the subject from his Afghanistan debacle and images of Marines killed by his ineptitude, back to evil Republicans.  The vaccine mandate served that purpose, and so what if it makes no sense medically?  This isn’t about medicine.  It’s about politics and money.  Democrats have to make it look like they’re doing something to keep their phony-baloney jobs.  So vaccines for everyone!  You heard Pharaoh Biden, “So let it be written.  So let it be done.”  But what about the 100 million plus Americans with natural immunity from having had the virus?  Don’t bother us with details.  The CDC relied on an Israeli study to support booster shots for vaccinated Americans.  However, the CDC ignored another part of the same Israeli study that found that having natural immunity is 27 times more effective than having vaccine immunity.  This made perfect financial sense, as it put billions of dollars in the coffers of the big Pharma companies producing vaccines.  Money that will make its way into the hands of politicians.  Will somebody please check Hunter Biden’s bank account?  As Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins points out, the decision to mandate vaccines for those with natural immunity flies in the face of proper medical practice.  The chicken pox vaccine specifies that it shouldn’t be given to someone who already had the disease.  Why is Wuhan different?  Follow the money.  Then there’s the religious angle.  Leftists worship government, and a government that imposes illegal, unconstitutional, draconian mandates whips them into a religious fervor.  I think that the mask wearing and distancing fanaticism of the Left is a necessary outlet for people who really hate America, yet struggle to appear patriotic.  They’ve traded the flag for the mask as the true sign of patriotism.  The mask also makes it harder to identify the Antifa assholes, so it’s a win win.  Wuhan virus hysteria is being used as a diversion.  We get regular pronouncements from the CDC such as, “Cruising has resumed, but it’s not a risk free activity.”  Name me one activity that is risk free.  When it comes time to fire unvaccinated minority and union employees who refuse vaccinations, Biden’s mandate will fail.

 

 

FRANK ON FRIDAY – A Trillion Here …

In the 1950’s and 1960’s, there was a Republican Senator from Illinois named Everett Dirksen.  Dirksen was the Senate Minority Leader.  Perhaps his most famous quote was about the Congressional budget process, which was a disgrace, even in those days.  Here it is.  “A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking about real money.”  Keep in mind that when Dirksen said that, the federal budget was under $100 billion, so a billion here, and a billion there was real money.  You have to understand that a trillion is one thousand billion.  Think of it this way, $1billion in $100 dollar bills produces a stack of bills 3,326 feet high.  $1trillion in $100 dollar bills produces a stack 631 miles high.  Now we’re talking about real money.  It wouldn’t be so bad if we were talking about money we actually have.  This is money that’s being borrowed, from friendly financiers, like the Chinese.  Federal  spending has exploded in recent years.  The $100 billion of 1965 became $200 billion by 1974, $500 billion by 1981, and reached nearly $1 trillion by the time Ronald Reagan left office in 1989.  So it took us 200 years to reach $1 trillion in federal spending.  There were people who complained about deficits in the Reagan days, Democrats no less.  But the difference between those days and these days is that, the Reagan tax cuts nearly doubled federal receipts, from $500 billion to $1 trillion from 1981 to 1989, so the deficits were minor.  Anyhow, it took 15 years to get to $2 trillion, and another 13 years to get to $3 trillion, under Trump.  Our national debt increased just as alarmingly.  It took 192 years to accumulate a $1 trillion national debt, and 5 years to double that.  We got to $10 trillion by Obama’s first year, he doubled it to $20 trillion, and for the first time, our debt exceeded our national GDP.  If these numbers alarm you, hold on to your hats.  Joe Biden inherited a debt of $27 trillion.  In 8 months, the debt has reached nearly $29 trillion.  2021 Federal spending was expected to be nearly $7 trillion, with a deficit over $3 trillion.  But wait.  Democrats aren’t done.  There’s the $1.2 trillion, so-called infrastructure bill, only a fraction of which goes to real building projects.  And then, there’s the $3.5 trillion bill for what Democrats are calling “human infrastructure.”  These lying bastards really have no scruples whatsoever.  The Democrats “cut” the first bill to $1.2 trillion to attract Republican support in the Senate.  Then, they took every budget busting, Woke, Anti-American, unconstitutional load of bullcrap they could think of, and stuffed it into the $3.5 trillion bill.  A classic bait and switch.  You see, Bolshevik Bernie Sanders favored a $6 trillion spending bill, but even some Democrats knew that was crazy, so they split it up – $1.2 trillion for infrastructure, with Republican support, and another $3.5 trillion for out and out theft, without any Republican support.  They hope to pass the $3.5 trillion bill by budget reconciliation, which would bypass the Senate filibuster, but there are several problems with this plan.  First, reconciliation is only for taxing and spending.  The $3.5 trillion bill is mostly about social engineering, climate change, free college tuition, federal funding of abortion, universal preschool, etc.  The Senate Parliamentarian has to rule on the contents.  Secondly, Senate Democrats such as Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema say they won’t vote for a $3.5 trillion package.  They need 50 Democrat votes in the Senate, plus Cackling Kamala, to get this ruinous bill through.  But there’s more.  Speaker of the House, modern day Madame Defarge, Nancy Pelosi, is holding Senate Democrats hostage.  She’s threatened not to move the bipartisan infrastructure bill, until the Senate passes the $3.5 trillion theft bill.  I actually hope she sticks to her guns on this, resulting in neither of these bills being passed.  Putting aside the fact that this spending would further balloon the debt, what’s in these bills is really bad for America.  The bills are chock full of Woke bullcrap, like funding for critical race theory, “free” college tuition, without any means testing, continued $300 per child monthly welfare payments, and money for clean energy programs, many of which were cut from the bipartisan infrastructure bill.  The bill will create a New Deal-esque Civilian Climate Corps, and has funding for climate justice programs.  Whenever Democrats use the word “justice,” you should think “Communist,” because that’s what it is.  The basis for Communism/Socialism is “social justice.”  What’s climate justice?  Never forget that, the day after the Berlin Wall fell, European Reds all became Greens.  The goal of European Communists was the destruction of capitalism.  The goal of the Green New Deal Woke numb sculls is the same.  Don’t doubt me.  This from a 2019 blog of the International Communist Party, “Climate Change: Capitalism is the Problem.”  In 2018, the U.N. produced a report that said “we cannot fight climate change with capitalism.”  Here’s the deal.  Extreme cold kills far more people than extreme heat, but we’re told, supposed global warming more negatively impacts poor nations, which have lower carbon emissions than the evil capitalist industrial nations.  The Greens say examples are Chad, which has droughts and unpredictable rainfall, and Bangladesh, which has cyclones, storm surges, and flooding.  And it’s all our fault?  Has it occurred to anyone that Chad was in the Sahara Desert long before climate change became an issue?  Has it occurred to anyone that Bangladesh is in a region which has had a typhoon season for all of recorded history?  But, the Greens say, communities of color are hardest hit because language barriers make it difficult for immigrants to get  information about incoming storms or weather disasters, or to communicate with first responders on evacuation orders.  I have a less expensive solution.  Learn English.  Problem solved.  But the climate crusaders are appalled that some “indigenous communities” (those are Indians folks), are being forced to relocate to higher ground.  Wait!  You mean that human beings actually had to adapt?  How climatically unjust!  Ever heard of the Ice Age?  If early humans hadn’t adapted to the changing climate, no one would be here now to complain about the heat.  The plans of the climate engineers always bring to mind all those time travel stories, where someone goes back in time, and changes something that affects the future.  Imagine a Green New Deal plan to stop the Laurentide Ice Sheet glaciers from melting 15,000 years ago.  That was real climate change.  Had they succeeded, New York would still be under 1,000 feet of ice.  As things turned out, maybe that wouldn’t have been so bad.  The point is that climate engineering is impossible, it’s stupid, and the idea that we should go broke to indulge the ravings of Woke imbeciles is the height of insanity.  Let’s hope both these ruinous spending bills fail.  We’re deep enough in debt already.
