Bullhornist NOT Racist
On March 30, 3 Tennessee lawmakers violated the rules of decorum and encouraged and participated in a protest, obstructing the functioning of the Tennessee legislature.
We all know how important it is to stop protesters from interfering with the functioning of Legislatures as evidenced by the prosecution of the January 6 protesters.
All three legislators were punished. The two that participated with the bullhorn were expelled. The third, that defended herself for not using the bullhorn, was one vote short of being expelled, but was removed from committees.
Some, i.e. most people on the left, want to instantly claim racism.
I think it’s more likely that this is just consequences for behaviors, something many non-resilient snowflakes do not understand.
Then again, maybe it is just plain old bullhornism.

Biden's Feckless Leadership for Ukraine
- 2014 - Russia Invades parts of Ukraine – Biden/Obama do little
- 2021 - Russia Threatens to Takeover Ukraine – Biden does little
- 2022 - Russia Invades the rest of Ukraine – Biden does little
- 2023 – Ukraine being destroyed – Biden doing little
From the beginning Biden has continued to dither in his efforts to stop Ukraine. Initially he actually stopped providing Javelin anti-tank weapons started under Trump to avoid “provoking” Putin. He then minimized a “minor” incursion. Next, instead of arming and encouraging Ukraine, he offered a ride out to Zelensky. Zelensky’s response: “I need bullets not a ride.” Then over the past year, he has only stingily increased the numbers and capabilities of weapons provided to Ukraine and STILL refuses to offer jets, long range artillery, significant armor and other weapons systems that would help Ukraine.
Exacerbating the problem, Biden has been unsuccessful in leading the world to stop Putin. Most of the world is not helping. Small, ex-Soviet countries are providing more support for Ukraine than the US and most of Europe, especially the large, developed countries, are far behind in their support.
Where is Biden’s leadership?
Despite having to fight with one arm tied behind their back, only the heroically brave fighting of the Ukrainians combined with the inept performance of the Russian armed forces have stopped Russia from being successful yet. However, Russia has more men, more money and more weapons than Ukraine and continues to make incremental advances.
The result is the continued destruction of Ukraine and the deaths of 10’s of thousand of Ukranians.
Putin needs to be stopped.
Biden needs to lead.

People STILL not working
Biden continues to be intellectually dishonest. He brags that he has created more jobs during his first two years than any president in history. What he forgets to mention is this is recovery after a government imposed shut down related to the pandemic. Of course jobs are coming back. In fact, if you look at what happened after the pandemic, Trump actually has created more jobs than Biden has to date. Not that that is any more meaningful than Biden’s claim.
A real problem is the number of people that have stopped working. Why? Could it be Biden benefits?
Mental Health or Gun Control
I wonder why Biden only focuses on guns and not mental health?
If somebody is so uncomfortable with their body that they want to alter it with chemicals and/or surgery and want to live as a different sex from what they are, you do have to wonder about their mental health don’t you?

Politicization of Justice is WRONG
Trump is intellectually lazy, lacks gravitas, is coarse, petty, insecure and inarticulate. I don’t like him and I REALLY hope he is not the next Republican candidate.
But he should still be treated fair. Regarding the NY State District Attorney you should ask 2 important questions.
1st-whom was defrauded by the classification as legal fees?
2nd-what was the intended crime of the classification of payments as legal fees?
Campaign finance is federal and has a “but for” requirement
Keeping negative information from public is not a crime.
How does 1=34?
1 payment from Cohen to Stormy Daniels
11 falsified invoices (falsified by Cohen)
12 falsified general ledger entries (entered by whom?)
11 checks falsely recorded (recorded by whom?)

Taxes are fair
Biden’s distortion of reality is hurting America. We should be encouraging and incenting work, not scapegoating.
Biden Economics Hurt
With the Biden caused inflation and his policies that discourage work and negatively impact business growth we see real incomes still far behind pre-Biden.

Biden’s Fib Gets Bigger
I previously posted (1) that Biden‘s Inflation Reduction Act was a big lie and that it will not reduce inflation, it will hurt the economy, and it will not even help the climate.
I was wrong.
A recent analysis by Goldman Sachs (2) says that the Inflation Reduction Act will actually cost $800,000,000,000, that is 800 billion, more than Biden said it would.

NPR a Woke religion fanatic
On Friday National Public Radio, NPR, tweeted an article supporting the crazy position that it is unfair to stop transwomen (males) from competing against females in sports claiming “limited scientific evidence of physical advantage.”
It is amazing how much the Woke Religion has permeated society and, with Biden’s support, is attempting to indoctrinate this country.

Crony Capitalism
Despite what Biden tells you this is not good. It changes the rules for the people that manage the investment for millions of people, including many non-sophisticated, low net-worth individuals.
Now, instead of being required to maximize the expected, risk adjusted financial returns, money managers will be allowed to gain Government favor by backing whatever crazy ideas, regardless of the economic value, activists can get Biden to support.
This includes wasting trillions of dollars of investment today to save a much smaller amount in the future.
Fair Share - Household Income/Taxes Update
Question: if somebody works a little harder, longer or smarter, or becomes more productive or even get's a little luckier and makes another dollar what is the most the government should be able to take?
When I ask this question of people across socioeconomic levels I find wide agreement that something like 25-33% sounds fair.
Now, when you combine state and local taxes and the higher taxes being proposed by the Biden Administration, you see that individuals will be taxed much more than 50%. How much higher should tax rates be, to be fair?
I happen to think that if somebody works a little harder, longer or smarter, or becomes more productive or even get's a little luckier and makes another dollar that it is UNFAIR for government to take more than half.
I also think it is intellectually dishonest and hurting our country when the President claims that people are not paying their fair share. Biden distorts the truth by confusing and conflating income and wealth. He greatly distorts his version of tax rates by taking only capital gains rates, which ignores the explicit effect of corporate tax rates on income generated by investment, and then he counts the increase of wealth of individuals ownership interest in companies, even though this wealth hasn't been recognized and may not even be keeping pace with inflation.
Based on the most recent CBO Report on Household Income, 2019 released November 2022, It's clear that the rich are paying a disproportionate share of the taxes and that there is a progressive tax rate.
I also think that it is crazy that government safety nets actually disincentivize the lower quintiles from trying to make more by actually implicitly taxing increased earning at 100% as benefits are lost as income rises.
Biden Harris Scare Me
This is actually very scary. Equal outcomes for everybody is impossible without constraining everyone to the lowest level.
Our country became the greatest country in the world because of the freedom for anybody to get ahead based on their work, skill and sometimes luck.

Ignoring the science
The Biden Administration is IGNORING the science and actively supporting the encouraging of permanent, life altering treatment of children who are incapable of understanding what they are doing.
Instead of limiting puberty blockers, cross sex hormones and surgeries to the minuscule percent of children that have actual biological issues, they are promoting irreversible treatments of the large number of children that may feel pressure or confusion over gender issues as they develop. (1)
This is in direct conflict with the science as demonstrated by Norway, Sweden, UK and Finland severely limited transitioning of children because they have found that it is not supported by scientific data and where counseling is advised for children until they are adults. (2)
How does this help?
NY will lower its standards instead of fixing its schools (teachers union).
How does this help America or the students.

Woke - Critical Justice Theory
Meritocracy - Equal Opportunity - advances society through objective truth independent of status, identity or demographics
Woke - Equal Outcome - divides society through subjective truth dependent on marginalization of self-identified victims
