I must admit...

I am sort of engoying the Biden Administration. Americans love fairy tails and pushing the consequences of their choices onto others. This might be one of those magical moments in time where reality comes in like a chainsaw. Americans voted for career politicians who have no idea how economics work. 

Don't get mad at me. Get mad at little old ladies who think oil is dirty.

Plus, I think Kamala's Quailisms are the best thing ever. I have litterally talked about that girl less than five times. She is nothing more than vacuous woo girl. And I love love love every time she talks.

Basically..

I had to dip out to recharge my batteries to prepare for this very intense year. I mean.. good news. China is opening back up. But just wait till we see what this does to gas prices.

Something New

And I don't know a single thing about it other than it comes from a company called BOE.

Your long suffering could be over-ish.

I've finally been granted the right of all humans to walk into convention halls. And no.. I'm not bothered or feel controlled. There really hasn't been much of interest, and the people out right now are so fricken thirsty. It's a lot. 

Mortgage layoffs started about two weeks ago. Just so ya all know.

When you print 5 trillion dollars in two years, I'm guessing there are a lot of people swimming naked. I bet Obama is absolutely green with envy. 

My very own new neighbor just paid 500k over asking. For a fixer upper. I just read about a house in Sunnyvale that went for a MILLION over.

Karma is a super crazy bitch, and you wanted her for a roommate.

Same with getting COVID. There is a reason people joke about this being viral AIDS. Because it destroys your immune system. The above info is really more than a year old. Some of us have known this for a very long time now, but couldn't say anything because of the negative feedback we get. People already thought I was crazy when I said you could get it over and over. Then again when I said that you could get infected again within weeks.

Version 4 and 5 are now here now. And it sounds like this ver. is killing kidneys.

It's hard to know what to feel because people invited this into their homes. Not only INVITED - demanded. And were super shitty to people who tried to warn them. "They don't need our help". We are sheep and are only interested in control. What an effed up world.

The sad thing about this child hep thing is, once I saw a woman on twitter say - I will never mask my child until the border is sealed. It is so crazy to use chidden as pawns like this. But... it's their life.

Additionally - herd immunity has ALWAYS been a lie. "Natural immunity" is NOT a thing with a virus that mutates so fast.

Just one question...

How can the economy be strong when China has been shut down for nearly six weeks? Go.

Yesterday.... the restaurant I went to in Sacramento, told me they had taken their Ruben Sandwich off the menu because they didn't think anyone would pay 30 bucks for it. 

I only found out because it was the very item I went there for. 

I'd never been there before, but it was a mom and pops - so we both took more time to talk. It was nice to know those types of places recognize that we tried to save them. But they do notice it trailing off. 

We are all tired at this point. We put up with growing pains at a time no one else was supporting them and they didn't really know how to run their businesses in that environment. Now we are growing a little tired of being "flexible". Not in a mean way....but if places don't have what you want...you won't come back.

They have been whipsawed like no other. Now this. I don't really know what is going to happen. Well.. I do.. but I don't want to admit it. But clearly Biden can't print any more money to save these business like in the pandemic.

Autorama 2022

 

This is my entire car jam. Giant fenders. Brushed metal.

 

I should have gotten my bokeh on with this shot. it already looks miniaturized.

 

They had Eric Estrada this year.... and he was the kindest celebrity I've seen maybe ever. They usually make money on taking photos and signatures. So, they usually have a minder blocking people from taking shots that haven't been paid for. But he was welcoming to everyone and seemed just the kindest and warm. I don't know the girl in the photo.

Texas is going to be like California in no time.

I'm still on this Greg Abbot thing because it makes me laugh how thirsty these people are for losing.

The "Twitter Tax Break" was quite the thing back in 2014. They got entirely exempted from payroll taxes. This is not even to mention the rent grift.

It just makes me laugh how people think they are winning, but they are actually losing

The greatest hot take today is Gregg Abbott inviting Twitter to Texas so they can join Tesla, SpaceX, and the Boring Company.

All these morons have no idea the tax breaks Twitter got. All money losing companies. Tesla only makes money because they have carbon credits.

TAKE THEM ALL. It's gonna be funny when you find out how much it's gonna cost you.

Ridiculous virtue signaling. Such phonies.

And anyway... wasn't the governor of Florida just trying to sue Twitter because their stock price went down? Oh yeah. Here it is. 

That's almost all the months.

Remember that time the government printed so much money that people paid 20% more for houses in a pandemic? Good times.

Exactly

Allegedly they are going to show off the new DeLorean at Pebble Beach in August.

The funny thing about this is I hate to death the old DeLorean. I don't get the appeal. Nothing makes me be in more misery than to roll up to a car show with DeLoreans. But, the sneak peaks of the new one aren't bad.

It is going to be a very fun earnings season. Said in the most sarcastic way. I think Russia was something like 7% of the global economy. I thought everyone knew about the mutually assured destruction of isolating countries.

This morning Mr S. texts me to say that the vending machine guy came in a changed all the prices.

Candy bars used to cost 50 cents, but now everything is 1.00, 1.50 or two dollars.

I don't know where candy bars come from, but this is inflation that can't be fixed right now. I know people think COVID is "seasonal", but that only means an infection for EVERY season. I don't understand how people think the economy is going to function with wave after wave of infection.

Finally... the training wheels are off.

I'm finding the screaming about the mask mandate (on both sides) funny. On side is celebrating and the other is like - the government is pushing all the responsibility onto individuals. Which I agree with honestly. I just know that Americans wouldn't know what self responsibility is - even if it hit them right in the face.  Our country excels are shifting personal responsiblity. So, you guys go on with your bad selves.

I do want to say however that there is starting to be a lot of chatter about COVID damaging your immune system. It would be in everyones best interest to get this as few times as possible. 

The PERSISTANT rumor is that this virus was made from SARS and AIDS.  When the rumor came out in March 2020 or so, I was very skeptical and didn't quite understand it. But AIDS also destroys your immune system. It seems COVID does the same.

Now... you can believe me or not.  But don't say someone didn't warn you, because our government is MIA or trying to kill us. I'm not sure which.

Also - cases have been rising for 16 days in a row. But barely any States are counting anymore, so your risk factor is completely unknown. I just find it hilarious. But people love this incompetence.

People should listen to themselves.

Chinese Lockdowns Expand, Raising More Questions About Beijing's Motives For Shutting Down.

"The three scenarios I floated for the potential reason China was “overshooting the mark” with its draconian lockdowns were:

1. The CCP may be trying to usurp more power

2. There may be something about Covid that China knows that the rest of the world still doesn’t know

3. China is looking for an excuse to slow its production to put pressure on the Western world at a time when it is trying to separate further, economically, from the West"

The writer of the article of course chooses #3 as the reason for the shutdowns. I'm choosing number 2.

Let's say this author is right. It is number three. China doesn't have to shut down entire cities to achieve this goal. The financial toll China is taking is not logical. With all these cities shut down, China isn't making money. Now, why would China injure themselves that way to prove to the West that we need them? China already hold ALL of the cards. 

Additionally - people are not just being locked down. They are being bussed to isolation cities and forced out on the daily for tests. One day an entire fleet of busses will show up and take a whole building away! ALL OF THIS COSTS MONEY! The entire cities being built to isolate people.

I genuinely watch this every night and think - China is going to collapse. When the Ukraine thing happened and everyone was was like - China and Russia are going to team up. I just laughed because China is no position to team up on ANYTHING.

If you don't believe me..... just take a stroll through China's Real Estate situation. Our media isn't covering it, but property developers are defaulting left and right.

But.... it is funny what the brain will try to erase when it doesn't want to deal with reality. China knows something about that virus because it was made in their lab!

Working weekend.

This has been my entire weekend. Sink replacement.

FFSakes. Elon is as predictable as sunshine. He is just trying to distract everyone from the fact that his Shanghai plant has been shut down for three weeks. With no end in sight. Seems the "socialist" doesn't get to skirt the rules in China. 

The rule of Silicon Valley is that if your sales are going to be light - muddy the waters by buying another company.

Also... Teslas are going up in price. All EV's are. Elon gets all manic like this when things get a little sketch.

However.......! It's pretty funny who gets out-ed when this asshole tries to buy them. The SAUDI's are censoring us? Fun to know who our masters are.

The source of your depression propaganda.

Most managers said they'd fire workers or cut pay for not returning to the office.

Every time I read a story like this - I don't care how high gas prices get. This is the world people want.

Before the pandemic, the thing employees wanted most was " a work life balance". Then all of a sudden the pandemic hit and everyone was depressed. so sad. I personally thought the whole thing was bullshit. But media and corporations got together and put out this ridiculous narrative. And oh - the Republicans didn't help at all because they are out there mocking people for working in their pajamas. Despite productivity going up over the pandemic.  Because these babies can't handle their shit - now people have to sit in traffic.

I figured out last November that this whole fantasy was coming to an end because of managers. I have blogged out it at least twice. Here and Here. Managers have nothing to do if everyone is at home. well... not nothing - but who are they going to lord over really?

I haven't been saying much... because managers are also in that group who doesn't think mitigations are necessary.  So... since this boulder is not movable - you just wait for them to get sick. I mean, 80 people from the White House dinner have popped up positive. 13%! The flu definitely does that. Said in the most sarcastic way.

Funnily enough I was reading an article yesterday about how everyone was plowing into SECOND houses because they thought they were going to get to work from home forever. And I laughed and laughed and laughed.

At least Australia is having an honest conversation.

Link to watch video.

America prefers pretty little lies. Honestly, I think that's why we are here right now. America asked the government how to fix the virus and they said - we don't know. Then America said - well .. just lie to us! So they did. And here we are.

I didn't get the vax because I've had Bells Palsy. I've talked about it many times. I had it long enough that I wasn't sure if I was going to return to normal. You never know how many muscles you have in your mouth until they all go numb. Right down the middle of my mouth. It was like someone drew a line. On one side I could feel, on the other I couldn't, And it suuuuuuuuucked every time you ate.

The side effects sort of outweigh the length of virus protection you get. And I'm not telling anyone not to vax. I believe in vaccination. Just not this one.

Sadly, team herd immunity is going to have their own moment. "It's just a cold" is going to turn into - it's just a little heart problem".

It's really sad what this country has been through. It was a spectacular hatedemic. People just ready to off anyone they didn't like. I mean, I am still in it for the politicians. How else are we going to get them out,. 

Also.. I ran across one of my old posts where I say I didn't think lockdowns work. From May 2020.

If I go crazy then will you still call me superman?

This video is still up.

This is China a few days ago.  I guess they are dispensing with this ridiculousness of putting people in hospital beds. Just put them in a box, and when they die, just put a lid on.

 It's just hard to see the beauty in the world right now. The only things to share are just awful.

Fingers crossed.

A lot of positives coming out of the White House lately. And every time I say - here's to hoping it takes one of them out. But it won't. Because they test every day, and yet they've convinced everyone else you are dumb to test.

When Jen Psaki got infected the first time I was like - OH! They test every day?!, and Fox News is basically mocking people that test. Craziest shit ever. 

But eventually their luck is going to run out. If it takes out Biden - I don't think the nation is ready for the dumb that follows. I don't even think that girl knows how to balance a checkbook.

I'm even pretty sus on Clarence Thomas right now. If his wife's shit makes it hard for Trump to win.... Right now I think they all could be hit with a meteor and it would only be a win.

UPDATE - CrZY unlikely? scenario. Obama as the Vice President.  Let me center myself. I guess it could happen.

I finally found out how much that time capsule house across the street from me went for. You ready for it?

Slightly more than 1.5 MILLION dollars. 400 thousand over asking on a 1500 square foot house that was original in the 70s'.

I was wrong about everything. I just didn't think this insanity could keep going on. But I should just STFU and accept my house goes up in value 20% YOY. Said in the most sarcastic way.

What garbage.

Fauci Flashback: "The Most Potent Vaccination Is Getting Infected Yourself".

I can't even put into words how stupid this is. And how wrong. You purposefully have to be ignoring data on people getting reinfected within weeks of getting a variant. I've even seen reports of people getting reinfected with the SAME variant after a few weeks. You are not doing yourself a favor by getting infected. Or helping yourself in any way.

We are now up to Omicron version 2.8 people. The 2.0 lineage seems to be especially unfriendly. Many countries are having record deaths. And.... you should start getting used to the words recombinant. This is where two versions merge for the worst of both worlds. There have to be at least a half of dozen of those now.

The more people this infects - the greater possibility that it turns into a monster. With each new version your immunity wanes. That entire article is inaccurate.

I guess today I am allowed to re-enter society. Being unvaccinated I was not able to go into ANY government buildings, venues, and even some restaurants still. And you know what? I didn't even bitch about it because I'm probably the last person on earth to still believe in property rights.

If I wasn't allowed in - they didn't need my money. They can suck a bag of dicks. That is how capitalism works. And I don't think businesses can survive that way. But I love to watch them try.

I'm starting to see a fair amount of Rivian's, but I'm already bored because I'm only in it for the headlights. Which is basically what I feel about this whole car cycle. Pretty boring, but the lights are interesting.

Very

 

First Lucid Air.,

And I made it look a million times better than it does in RL. I know the inside however is pretty cool. I saw them years ago,

Couple days old.

 

I don't know why I'm bothering.

 

I just can not understand the level of incompetency from our government and our media. Every single day I read articles like - There's a new version of omicron but so far it doesn't appear to be more dangerous..and Vaccinated and had COVID? You have immunity 'superpowers,' experts say.

BA2 is INDEED more dangerous. And it's already split off into version 2.2. Which is what is killing literally everyone in Hong Kong. Team "nothing matters until people die" are going to get their wish. Now, I know Team Minimalist is going to say... mew.. there are tons of old people in Hong Kong. Despite them being spared from every other wave. You know who else has a lot of old people ? America.

Heard immunity IS STILL A LIE. And now they are saying v2.2 is the most killery version they have seen yet. I predict this wave is going to be the worst because literally everyone has dropped their guard. Last Nov. everyone dropped masks too, except in office settings. Oh you didn't hear people were massless last year and literally no on cared? (I'm talk to you Republicans)This year, most people in office setting are not wearing masks. And I get it. I know very fine people who have already had this run through their entire family and think they know what to expect.

Last night someone on twitter someone said - you better hope zero Covid works because if not, that means that let it rip and zero Covid didn't work. People on my feed for a long time have wondered about this being an ELE event. Because literally almost no one can figure out how to wear masks right. Or at all.

Gee.... I'm old enough to remember when high gas prices were an immediate tax on consumers. I would say the Fed is way too late, and the pulse is already on the decline. I don't really think they needed lockdowns... they just needed high gas prices. Said in the most sarcastic way. Very bad things start to happen with gas this high.

A real nail biter.

I'm still saying they don't raise rates. Although I do admit, crazier things have happened. I actually saw they were predicting 6 rates hike this year. And it made me laugh and laugh and laugh. I'm looking for land - so I don't care.

No one is motivated to sell because prices are high. But.........while overpriced - the time capsule house across the street hasn't has ONE person to see it since the weekend it listed. It's been three weeks now. Since it's a time capsule house - they have all the time in the world. These houses went for about 50 grand in the day. Seriously. It's the only thing that kept me holding on through the housing crisis was knowing that.

I guess we will get to find out who owns the Fed. I'm still guessing it's housing, because there isn't a single thing they can do about this inflation. Except open drilling. LOL.

China has now locked down 37 million people again. And our country is partying like it's 1999. Genuinely, the world is like - hey... maybe you should look at this. And America is like - hold please. Aaaaaaaand there has been a dislocation of an entire country! Things are going to get super good if they raise. Said in the most sarcastic way.

Neighbors are going to brawl.

 

I found myself in my old neighborhood today. I was just sort of driving through and ran across this thing. It immediately caught my eye because it's an ADU that is taller than the original house. And doesn't in any way fit the style of the original house.

That is a six foot fence, and you can see the neighbor to the back has already raised his portion to probably the allowable limit of eight feet.

 

It's so tall, you can basically see right inside of it. I loitered so long the neighbors we were parked in front of came out. And I HAD to ask. First I asked... does that make the neighbors mad? As if I even had to.  They were like yep. They said the neighbor to the left on this picture was super mad. I'm like - is there a petition yet? Cause that neighborhood likes to do that. They were like - yes. And I laughed.

 

But all laughing aside - that is a real dick move. Now the neighbor to the back has a hard time selling his house. Right? And the person with the ADU has made it harder to sell his place, because the style doesn't fit in any way fit with the old house.  People are just crazy and stupid.

But... it's easy to get an ADU up these days. They green light all that shit. So, he did the natural thing and push the limits. And the guy to the back has almost no back yard. You can see the edge of his roofline. Plus, that ADU can be seen above his raised fence line. Such a dick move. ANNNNND - he is probably going to fuck the ADU's up for everyone.

This is why I haven't moved yet. I'm saving up for land. I am not going to get stuck next to one of these tards. I need a buffer. And even when you buy land you have to chess it out knowing that people are going to do the most absurd things on the properties next to you.

In other real estate news - I know of a property( that I think was around 2500 square feet) someone bought, and decided to break it into six sublets. ALL of a sudden you have six new neighbors plus their friends and family. This stuff is going to get hot.

The first 6 buck gas.

This is consistently the most expensive place I know to get gas. Even last night I was like - how can they get away with it? Mr S. said - well obviously they can because they haven't gone out of business yet. I think it helps they have a Fatburger inside. But... have they seen Fatburgers problem lately?

I was expecting it to be at 6 or only slightly above.... but even I had to let out a little chuckle on 6.29 a gallon. In who's world! Oh yeah ours.

I have a bad feeling that Biden is going to try price controls because he is not smart. 

In his State of the Union address he was talking about capping the price of Insulin, and I turned to Mr S. and asked - did he just anounce price controls? The way he is demonizing oil companies right now, I bet he tries price controls. 

But people wanted the kindly old illiterate man.

Told you.

"Leadership or loneliness? Making sense of why executives are eager to get employees back in the office."

"The Future Forum, developed by workplace-messaging platform Slack, surveyed more than 10,000 workers globally in the summer of 2021 and found an “executive-employee disconnect” with regard to returning to work. Three-quarters of all executives reported they want to work from the office three to five days a week, compared with about one-third of employees. Among executives who have primarily worked completely remotely through the pandemic, 44% said they wanted to come back to the office every day. Just 17% of employees said the same."

Because.... it is sort of pathological. They brought everyone back in December, and only managers were not wearing masks. Which was the weirdest thing. But how can you figure out who's better than you if everyone is working from home?

I give you three scenarios for why this is happening.

1. Middle managers are the most likely to not be needed.

2. Corporate espionage. The longer people stay at home, the more company secrets are not in their complete control.

3. Real estate.

4. Real estate.

5. Real estate.

It was sort of a marvel watching corporate tycoons try to convince people that employees were sad working at home. That was a whole lot of FUD.

Everybody hurts.

I was just at this gas station toppling off on Wednesday. Regular was 4.67 and diesel was 5 bucks even. 

This is the cheapest gas station I know of because you get a cash discount. I have never seen gas this expensive even during the housing crisis.

 I just found out that Youtube has been banned in Russia. And all I feel is..... everyone is going to be bored! No more dash cam videos! Surrender now!

More conversations with Mr S.

Last night Mr S. took me out to dinner. While there, he says - I want to talk to you about a post you made a couple of days ago.

I just smile and say okay. I knew which one he was talking about. Even I thought I was a bit hard. 

He begins - I think you are being unfair.

Me - So you think if Russia rolled up we wouldn't just  hand the country over?

Him - I think you are being a bit of a Karen. You are attributing people not wearing masks as people who don't care. They just don't think masks work.

Me - I understand that, but Republicans has become the biggest Karens' lately. We were like a week from dropping mandates and they saw Gavin Newsom without and went crazy. If you don't want people in your business - stay out of theirs. (And I'm not defending Newsom in ANY way) People are hypocrites. That's life.

Then he went on to talk about politicians making rules that they don't follow. Which is fair, but it isn't just with politicians. It's with everyone.

I've been super frustrated with Republicans because I think they have just become everything they claim to hate. But .......it's ALWAYS good to have people around you, who are brave enough to tell you that you are wrong. I still think I'm not, but...it doesn't mean I'm not willing to listen.

Everybody back to the office!

Gasoline prices in the Bay Area reached a grim new milestone Thursday: For the first time, the average price per gallon has topped $5 a gallon in much of the inflation-savaged region.

The average price for unleaded regular gasoline has hopped past $5 in Napa County, Sonoma County, San Francisco, Marin County and San Mateo County, according to the AAA gasoline survey for the Bay Area, as of 7 a.m. on Thursday.

Santa Clara County, Alameda County, Contra Costa County and Solano County were no more than a few pennies away from the forbidding $5 benchmark, AAA reported.

Alameda County average prices were at $4.999 a gallon Thursday morning.

Source.

The last time gas got this expensive - bad things happened.

Jumpers be savage.

 

The jumper phenomenon started well before the pandemic. And it goes like this. If you leave a car length space in from of you - someone will jump in from of you. So, a lot of us these days learn to stay two feet from the car in front of you. I'm surprised I haven't tapped someone yet. And even sometimes that won't repell them.

Trucks jumping in at the last minute is a new one. This is literally the end of the offramp. And sometimes, if you don't let people in - cars will just block off the whole freeway lane waiting for someone to let them in. It's a hole lot of bullshit. 

The force is strong.

Google to end work-from-home option for most Bay Area workers. 

"The firm's decision to bring workers back to offices indicates that despite the popularity of remote employment among many technology workers, Google is committed to office-based operations."

The truth is - the pandemic was a good thing in many ways. People got to spend more time with their families, and got some of their own personal time back.

Right before the pandemic - the Bay Area was reaching a point where you couldn't get anywhere without sitting in gridlock all of the time. There used to be a traffic window, but that had evaporated. It was miserable. A two hour commute each day was a blessing because it could be FOUR hours round trip. No joke. 

But, those tech companies have got real estate and middle managers to justify. I literally have no idea what this is going to do to gas. Cheap gas is over 4.50 here. 

I'd put them on death watch now.

I feel like some very bad things are about to happen to our economy. And a lot of them are Joe Biden fault. So.....

We are basically Russia and Chinas bitch. They control very large portions of commodities.

A few days ago I was talking to a guy I know and I was like - you aren't freaked out? Russia controls about 25% of the wheat in the world. He goes - we've got plenty of wheat here. I reply - that doesn't mean the price won't go up.

 

I'm going to have to find the well that spits these out and find out who's gear that is. It's somewhere near the Tesla Plant. They have been pretty persistent there. I've seen one every time I've been in that area which is about once a week. So ....not that often.

I think this is a 2022 Hyundai Kona(?) I'm not sure,  but obvi eclectic from the grill. At least two pucks.

Conversations with Mr S.

Last night I turn to Mr S. and ask him if Kamala went full Dan Quayle.

He just sort of looks at me.

Me - Hawaii is in the Pacific.  It's an island that is right here.

He busts up laughing. I had completely forgotten about that he said. I'm like really? We'd get high and and repeat it over and over. It was a meme back in the day.

This is what Quayle said: "Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that is right here."

This is what Kamala said: “So, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine."

Oddly...late last year the media was comparing Kamala to Dan Quayle. (Even our own Mercury News interestingly.) So I guess she has grown into her role. But no one has really connected the two statements.

It is the worst time ever for this State of the Union.  Putin has to be watching this and laughing at Grampa Simpson.

Everyone in that audience has to be terrified. Right? What does the state of the union in two or three years look like?

Now that mask mandates are down again, they forcing everyone back to work. Fill up your tanks accordingly. 

I can't quite figure out why they don't dispense of all of this crap and bank the office space money. But... office space is probably no bid right now.

What the hell has happened to Republicans?

FEMA: In Case Of Nuclear Explosion, Maintain Social Distancing And Wear A Mask.

"FEMA recommends the following steps to prevent 'significant radiation exposure,' which include "Try to maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who are not part of your household," and "If possible, wear a mask if you're sheltering with people who are not part of your household."

Just yesterday CNBC was reporting that Ukraine will run out of oxygen in the next 24 hours. They have just come off an intense COVID wave. Maybe... just maybe.... Republicans might help with the bare minimum to not overwhelm the hospitals more in a WAR. WTF you guys. Honestly. Maybe you guys can not exacerbate the problem by shutting the fuck up and not causing more casualties.

It's so frustrating to watch Democrats call Republicans snowflakes but I'm going to shadow Dee Snider on this.  

We are going to hit our own energy crisis and Republicans are MIA. And then, they will just come out with outrage theater. (outside of Trump) Republicans are do nothings. They are happy to have us fight about this topic because they have NO IDEAS. 

Most days lately, I don't even know what Republicans stand for.  I think they just want to raise money off of doing nothing.

It's pretty refreshing to see what a real battle for freedom looks like after two solid years of American "freedom" wars.  Ukrainians are willing to lay down their lives for their fellow man. Americans are like nah - not my problem.

If Russia was doing the same troop build up on America's borders - people would say it was fear porn, and that dictators were always going to want to invade us. There is nothing we can do about it. We just have to accept it. We would just shoot each other and just hand over the country.

If CORONA was a battlefield, and it is,  we are leaving solidly two thousand people on the battlefield EVERY single day. 60 THOUSAND people a month. An enviable number for a war. Any aggressor would love numbers like that. And Americans are like -  Leave them. Let's move on! Who cares.

I hope Americans start seeing the bigger picture. Finally. The future of our nation depends on it.

This is a sign I've never seen before.

How many times does that have to happen before a sign goes up?
