Where’s Biden?


Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will change.

Black lives matter - of course. All lives matter. But BLM is hurting blacks because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism today is the primary cause of the disparities today taking away agency (responsibility for one’s actions.)

If you don’t identify the problem, you cannot fix it. What societal culture in our cities leads to such behaviors( violent crime, murder, teen mothers, fatherless households?)

It cannot be whatever small amount of systemic racism that may exist today because you cannot see the problem with black immigrants  

Racism exists (though not widespread), it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force exists (though rare), it's  bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.

BLM organization’s positions and policies do not address the problems (murders, fatherless households, teen pregnancy, lack of agency) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.)

Removing Agency is Deadly

Obviously everyone should be treated with dignity and respect but, to avoid hurting peoples’ feelings and/or holding people accountable for their actions, Democrats go to great lengths, even if it kills people.

Obesity is a common serious, and costly disease (1)

  • The US obesity prevalence was 41.9% in 2017 – March 2020. (NHANES, 2021)
  • From 1999 –2000 through 2017 –March 2020, US obesity prevalence increased from 30.5% to 41.9%. During the same time, the prevalence of severe obesity increased from 4.7% to 9.2%. (NHANES, 2021)
  • Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. These are among the leading causes of preventable, premature death.
  • The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the United States was nearly $173 billion in 2019 dollars. Medical costs for adults who had obesity were $1,861 higher than medical costs for people with healthy weight.

Gas Price Still High

 Oil Production still down. Gas prices still high. Strategic Oil Reserve 1/2 empty.

Where’s the NAACP





Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will change.

Black lives matter - I support the words but cannot support the organization because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism is the primary cause of the disparities(murders, incarceration, teen mothers, fatherless households, income, wealth, etc.) between blacks and whites.

Racism exists (though not widespread), it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force exists (though rare), it's  bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.

Biden Still Dithering

While Ukraine continues to be rubbled, Biden continues to dither. 


Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. Biden and Obama did little.

Russia threatened to continue its invasion of Ukraine in late 2021 in early 2022. Biden did little. 

Russia continued its  invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Biden dithers, resisting providing sufficient numbers and capabilities of weapons to stop Russia. Why? He is afraid of provoking Putin. 

Putin’s armies have been merciless, destroying civilian infrastructure, killing civilians and using all of its conventional weapons. 

Ukraine has fought heroically and bravely relying on the arms received from the US and Western Europe. Often it has been the UK and the European countries leasing and pushing the delivery of more capable weapons desperately needed with the US resisting before reluctantly following. 

The result is the continued destruction of Ukraine,  tens of thousands of Ukrainians dying, 8 million Ukrainians refugees and another 5.3 displaced. 

Biden needs to stop dithering and lead. 

Send F16s 
Send ATACAMS (longer range artillery)

Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity - NOT



Sad that half of the country will ignore this politicization of the administrative state that will ruin our country

The motto of the FBI is Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity. The Durham Report is clear evidence that the FBI was anything but. 

The Durham Report is completeand available. It is 300+ pages that clarify and confirm that the entire investigation of Trump collusion with Russia was based on false information from the Clinton campaign

The Department of Justice and the FBI:
  1. failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law
  2. lacked analytical rigor and objectivity
  3. Had a confirmation bias and an unreasonable reliance on information from the Clinton campaign
  4. Ignored significant and contrary intelligence
  5. fabricated material information, had a cavalier attitude towards accuracy and completeness and disregarded important requirements when seeking FISA renewals
  6.  KNEW there was NOT legitimate probable cause to initiate investigation
CONCLUSION 

New rules not needed

Integrity of the people and fidelity to existing rules is the only answer.







Biden says

You cannot get some thing for nothing. Airlines maximize their profits within the constraints and rules they have to operate. If you add constraints or rules that it cost to airlines, they will increase their prices. Biden, trying to protect the tiny number of passengers, whose flights are canceled, will increase the cost for all of us.

Say her name!



Areanah Preston, 24 year old woman and Chicago Police Officer who just completing her Masters in Jurisprudence was shot to death in her front yard in line of duty. 

Where’s the outrage? Where’s BLM? Where’s Lebron?

What culture and values of a society results in these cold-blooded killers?

Wednesday morning Chicago Police charged against 19-year-old Trevor Breeland, 19-year-old Joseph Brooks, 18-year-old Jakwon Buchanan and 16-year-old Jaylan Frazier with first degree murder as well as multiple counts of armed robbery, arson, burglary, possession of a stolen vehicle and unlawful use of a weapon. Police said they have extensive criminal records, including carjacking and robbery.

Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will I change.

Is Biden the Titanic?

The two reports from the House Oversight and Accountability Committee (1) (2) have shown that there have been two foreign nationals, who have now been convicted of bribery, involved with making payments totaling $3 million each to Robinson Walker LLC, a small Washing DC law firm known to be closely associated with Hunter Biden. In both cases, immediately after or closely related to receiving these  payments, Robinson Walker LLC has dispersed $1 million dollars for each of the payments received to various Biden or Biden related individuals through a complex web of business entities.

In parallel, with similar immediately or closely related timing, Robinson Walker has dispersed $1 million dollars for each of the payments received to EEIG, another company closely related to Hunter Biden.

The exact details of the various payments (i.e. Invoices, Purchase Orders, 1099s, Contracts, etc.) are sill being  investigated and pursued. 

There has been no evidence of any direct payments to Joe Biden as of yet.

Given the ambiguous, if any, clear business justification for these payments from Chinese and Romanian foreign nationals to Hunter Biden or any of his family members, there appears to be at least a question as to what was going on here?

So far there have been ~$10 million of payments identified flowing to the Bidens from foreign nationals. 

Who was paying whom for what?

Immigration is a disaster

Tomorrow the border will become even more of a mess. On May 11 the Biden administration will be abondoning the Title 42 Apprehension policy and it is projected that there will be a dramitic INCRERASE in illegal immigration.
 
Biden, May 9,  " the southern border with Mexico would be chaotic for a while."

Customs and Border Patrol, May 9,  announced they authorize all Border Patrol sectors to begin ‘safe’ street releases of migrants to communities across the border if NGO shelters and CBP facilities do not have the capacity to hold them (which will be the case.)

Biden’s border policies continue to be a mess, put many innocents at risk AND allow Mexican cartels to get rich.

The Founders had three criteria for new immigrants: their qualifications; their assimilation; and their allegiance.

Today, I have no clue what Biden's criteria or goals are.

I support immigration. A lot of immigration. But legal immigration, with a mix of merit based  (engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, doctors, mathematicians, etc.) and opportunity-based (people who want to work hard, adopt American values, and get ahead).
 
Illegal immigration continues to be out of control as shown in the Southwest Border Apprehension data kept by the Customs and Border Patrol. These are the people surrendering to CBP of intercepted by CPB, most of who are claiming asylum and being released as their claims (majority of which are invalid) are being adjudicated. We do not know how many people get through without being apprehended.

In addition, due to a legally questionable Biden Executive Order, now asylum seekers can avoid apprehension (and thus being included in the data) by using an app to apply for asylum.  Most, 99%, of these requesters are getting approval to enter the US while their claim (once again for the most art invalid).

Bidenflation Continues

Joe is claiming he is doing a great job fighting inflation.  This is intellectually dishonest. He has only been doing a less bad job.  The RATE of price increases in his last 10 months may be lower than his first 17 months, but it continues to be HIGHER with Biden than his predecessors.

Journalists Biased -Yes

Based on who journalists follow on Twitter compared to who the average Twitter users follows on Twitter journalists are extremely liberal. 

Interestingly, the study that produce these results was headline as journalists are not biased in what stories they cover (see link below). However, this tile is grossly misleading.  The study only looked at email responses (rated from favorable to unfavorable) from journalists who received an email (4 different emails randomized to which journalist received which, introducing journalist to one of fur different candidates varying by political type.) Not clear how a response to such a limited newsworthy email is meaningful  Maybe left wing journalists were very eager to learn more about a right wing candidate: not to help the candidate but to help prepare to destroy a candidate.

There seems to be clear evidence that journalists are biased in what they make news: white policeman killing an unarmed black man is made news while any police shooting a white man doesn't make the news. Or the total lack of focus on the black on black crime that is the leading cause of death of young black males.

The study also made no attempt to look at how news stories are covered. Hunter's laptop was evidence of potential criminal activity or  likely Russian disinformation.

Biden's TRUEth Deficit

Biden continues to be delusional with respect to his impact on deficits.  Claiming large cuts is intellectually dishonest.  Deficits under Biden are GROWING much faster than under Obama or Trump (excluding the emergency spending to cover the Pandemic.) 

And his claims regarding his plans such as the Inflation Reduction Act continue to blow yup in his face as initial claims of reduction rapidly grow to out of control spending and deficits.

 


Hmmmmm

Actions speak louder than words. 

And interesting for the President to make such a comment when: A) he claims he’s never talked to his son about his business dealings; and B), when his son is under active investigation by the Justice Department. 





J&J > Pfizer?

A new analysis published in Cell shows that the adenovirus vector vaccine made by J&J, and some others might have been better than the Pfizer, mRNA vaccine. 

Both were developed under Operation Warp Speed under Trump. 

One was favored and pushed by Biden.



Finally (hopefully)


Despite heroic brave efforts, Ukraine continues to be destroyed by Russia who invaded their country. They invaded in 2014 with no resistance from Biden and Obama. They continued their invasion in 2022 with Biden stingily, providing limited but increasing numbers and capabilities of weapons overtime.

Ukraine needs and has continually ask for longer range  artillery. To date the US has refused to provide such. 

As has been typical, it appears, the UK may be leading the way. Biden? Not so much.

Actions have consequences

If society tolerates mentally unwell individuals behaving threateningly in public, individuals will be injured,

then individuals will feel threatened by mentally unwell individuals behaving threateningly in public, 

then individuals will act in defense of others or themselves,

And then there will be accidental deaths. 

Society should not tolerate mentally unwell individuals behaving threateningly in public.

Biden Administration is Wack II




The U.S. mil­i­tary faces an un­prece­dented cri­sis of re­cruit­ment. Last year, for the first time in the 50-year his­tory of the all-vol­un­teer force, the ser­vices missed their re­cruit­ment goals. The Army fell 15,000 re­cruits short of its goal last year, in ad­di­tion to the 8,000 en­listed ser­vice mem­bers who were kicked out be­cause they didn’t com­ply with Pres­i­dent Biden’s vac­cine man­date. Re­ports show this year’s re­cruit­ing may be even worse, with four of the six mil­i­tary branches on track to miss their re­cruit­ment goals. 

The Biden Administration recently decided to use an enlisted, “non-binary” drag queen as a “poster boy” for recruitment.

What seems clear is that the US Armed Forces using such a person as a recruiting spokes person is likely to disenfranchise the young people, primarily men, that are willing to die to protect this country and unlikely to attract sufficient numbers of capable unhappy or confused individuals to replace those lost. 

99.98 % of humans are born with a testes and go on to develop into a typical male or with an ovary and go on to develop into a typical female. A small percentage of these may require surgical intervention or hormonal treatment to complete their development due to a congenital defect related to genes, hormones and/or biochemical processes that affects normal development. 

Only a tiny fraction of a percent (0.02%) of babies are born with a congenital defect related to genes, hormones and/or biochemical processes that result in atypical gonadal, genital or puberty development. In these rare cases treatment with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and/or surgical interventions may be required to enable the typical development of an individual. 

Some people are not happy with their sex and choose to live their life as the opposite sex and may pursue various interventions (puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and/or surgical interventions)  to help them develop the desired external characteristics.

Some people are not happy with their sex and claim to be neither sex, both sexes, fluid between sexes and choose to live their life as whatever sexual identity they feel and may pursue various interventions (puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and/or surgical interventions)  to help them develop desired external characteristics.

But no interventions can convert a person of one sex into reproductively functional person of the other sex. 

At what point a person is mature enough to make a permanent life altering decision or what the mental health may be of a person that is so unhappy with their sex that they choose to live as the opposite sex or neither,  both,  or fluid sex is a topic of debate. 

Biden Administration is Wack


Saint Francis Health System, the twelfth largest hospital in the nation, keeps a candle lit inside its hospital chapels, in accordance with its Catholic faith. The 
candle is encased in glass and covered on top and has been approved repeatedly by the local fire marshal. The chapel’s living flame was never a problem in decades’ worth of prior accreditation surveys. 

Recently  the Administration’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the largest health care payer in the country,  decided  a single candle was dangerous and threatens to strip the hospital of the ability to accept Medicare, Medicaid, or  Children's Health Insurance Program if it does not extinguish the flame. This action would stop Saint Francis from being able to treat elderly and poor patients.

Increase Min Wage Doesn’t Help

New large well designed study just released. 
  1. We find that a 10 percent increase in the minimum wage is associated with a (statistically insignificant) 0.17 percent increase in the probability of longer-run poverty among all persons. [i.e. they find no effect]
  2. We find that less than 10 percent of workers who would be affected by a newly proposed $15 federal minimum wage live in poor families.

Teachers Unions Hurt


On October 4, 2020, a large group of prestigious, world renowned experts in immunology, virology, medicine and public health prepared and published The Great Barrington Declaration. Their message:
1.  Grave concerns about the damaging educational, physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies including shut downs and school closings.
2. Highlighted these measures in will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.
3. Espoused alternative of greatly improved focused protection of older people and other high-risk groups.

This message was censored and resisted by the Biden Administration, Fauci and teachers unions assisted by main stream and social media.

Today we are learning just how badly these closings have affected society, especially disadvantaged children, and how much the administrative state and teachers unions participated in opposing and censoring this alternative. 

Biden thinks money grows on trees

The US government will be providing funds in either a direct or indirect bailout of First Republic bank. The funds needed eventually come from taxpayers. Why does Biden say taxpayers are not on the hook?  

Federal Deposit Insurance Agency estimating the cost to be about $13 billion.

Health Care Market Broken

The most recent data on national health care expenditures shows that in 2021 the Government controls ~64% of spending including the subsidy of tax free employer provided health insurance.

The market is inefficient and distorted due to opaque pricing, cost shifting from government to private insured and uninsured, and tax free subsidy for employer health insurance.

Improvements would be:

  1. Health care products and service providers free to charge what ever price they want, BUT they can only charge one price and not allow cost shifting.
  2. Employer provide health insurance taxed as income to minimize over consumption.
  3. Catastrophic (major medical) insurance based on large risk pools available to all who participate (can't buy at last minute) subsidized based on need. 
  4. Non-Catastrophic (minor medical) insurance with copays and deductibles based on large risk pools available to all who participate (can't buy at last minute) subsidized based on need.
