Biden Shrinking Military

With the current hostile actions of Russia and the long term threat of China Biden decides it’s a good time to shrink the military: fewer ships, fewer planes, fewer soldiers and reduced capabilities.

Biden Breaking Education

Buried in the Democrat ’s 2700 page, $1.5 trillion bill to fund federal-government agencies for the rest of the fiscal year, Biden issued 13 pages of rules designed to cut off charter schools from federal support. (1) (2)

Charter schools offer the public, mostly lower income blacks and hispanics, an opportunity to escape the teachers union’s ineffective public schools and obtain a real education (3).

(Not) Doing Everything we Can

Biden and his administration continue to say that we are doing everything we can to help the Ukrainians.  

This is not true.

From the very beginning, even when Biden invited Russia to take a part of Ukraine, he told Russia the United States would not use US troops in Ukraine.

Biden refuses to provide a no-fly zone, even a limited one for humanitarian purposes.

Biden refused to put sanctions on Russia before the invasion and still has not sanctioned many Russian oligarchs or stopped Russia exporting oil or gas.

Biden refuses to provide antiship missiles to Ukraine.

Biden refuses to  transfer Polish MiGs to Ukraine. 

Biden halted shipments of anti-tank weapons to Ukraine when Russia started gathering troops on the border 

Biden only released a small number of short range anti-tank missiles Immediately prior to invasion.

After invasion and only after Europe started sending large numbers of an attack missiles Biden increased the number of short range anti-tank missiles.

Biden still not releasing long range antitank missiles.   

Now, three weeks into the war, Biden releasing medium range anti-tank missiles. 

Only now, three weeks into the war, US not opposing other countries providing SA-300, long range anti-error weapon, 

Biden still not providing medium or long range anti-air systems. 

Despite facing a much larger army with more modern armor and modern aircraft the heroically brave efforts of the Ukrainians have stymied Russia’s invasion.

But there are thousands of innocent Ukrainians dying, millions of Ukrainians fleeing  and their cities are being reduced to rubble. 

We are NOT doing everything we can.

Zelenskyy Leads Biden Dithers

If Ukraine prevails it will be due to the heroic bravery of their people, led by Zelenskyy,  in a tremendous struggle against a horrific invasion by Putin, an evil dictator that is mercilessly killing thousands of innocent people and cruelly reducing Ukrainian cities into rubble.

While the military support provided by the US, though limited in number, range and the timing of availability has helped Ukraine, and while additional help with increased range, effectiveness and capabilities may ultimately be made available and may be a factor in the ultimate outcome, Biden’s leadership has been questionable.

In 2014 Russia takes Crimea and occupies Eastern Ukraine and Biden and Obama do nothing. 

In mid-2021, as Putin starts massing troops on Ukraine border. Biden stops providing javelin anti tank missiles to Ukraine because he doesn’t want to provoke Putin. 

In late 2021, as Putin increases the numbers of troops on Ukraine’s border and claims that Ukraine belongs to Russia, Zelenskyy requests large numbers of antitank, anti-air and anti-ship missiles. Biden only provides a small number of anti-take missiles because he doesn’t want to provoke Putin. 

Ukraine requests that the US impose the threatened sanctions to prevent Putin from invading.  Biden refuses because he doesn’t want to provoke Putin. 

When Russia invades Ukraine with a massive military force with modern aircraft and modern armor, it is only after Europe begins providing significant numbers anti-tank and anti-air weapons. That Biden decides to increase the numbers of antitank missiles and to start providing anti-air missiles.

When Russia begins using artillery and high altitude bombing to start reducing Ukrainian cities to ruble, killing thousands of civilians, forcing millions to become refugees and destroying the Ukrainian infrastructure, Ukraine asks for no-fly zone, jets, longer-range anti-tank and anti-air weapons, and anti-ship missiles. Biden says no no-fly zone because he doesn’t want to provoke Putin. Biden won’t transfer Polish jets because it doesn’t want to provoke Putin. Biden doesn’t supply longer-range antitank and anti-air weapons because he doesn’t want to provoke Putin. Biden doesn’t supply anti-ship missiles because he doesn’t want to provoke Putin. 

Today Zelenkyy addressed Congress and begged the leader of the free world to lead, to provide better anti-air weapons, jets, no-fly zone and more sanctions.  We will see if Biden continues to lead from behind or assumes the moral role of leader and defender of democracy.

If Ukraine prevails it will be Zelenskyy and the Ukrainians that should get all the credit and Biden should be ashamed that his dithering and weakness resulted in the most death and destruction seen in Europe since the end of WWII.

Defending Ukraine is not attacking Russia.

Biden MIA

The EU met to discuss increasing sanctions on Putin. As you might expect there was no consensus with some countries like Germany wanting to have weak sanctions and other countries like Poland wanting to have stronger sanctions. 

Missing from the discussion, Joe Biden.

The world needs leader ship to stop Putin. But Biden is too busy lying about who caused inflation.

Biden Blathers Ukraine Burns

This Sunday morning, on the news shows, Biden team saying we’re doing everything we can to help Ukraine.

This is not true. We haven’t sanctioned all oligarchs. We haven’t blocked all Russian banks from Swift. We refused to transfer Polish jets to Ukraine. We haven’t provided adequate type of surface to air missiles yet. 

Putin is an evil man, a thuggish dictator running a kleptocracy. He kills journalists. He kills political opponents. He kills innocent civilians by the tens of thousands.

Putin said he wants the Russian empire back (Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia...)

Putin has invaded Ukraine, is destroying cities, killing thousands of civilians, and causing a massive refugee crisis.

Biden is afraid of Putin.

We have seen that the Russian military, though large, is rather inept and would be no match for our conventional forces.  The only danger would be Putin using nuclear weapons.

However, if Putin is willing to use nuclear weapons to take Ukraine then he would be willing to use nuclear weapons to take the rest of his empire (Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia….). If we are willing to stop Putin we should stop him now!

Biden gives bomb to Iran (probably)

Well no terms have yet been disclosed, I have a complete lack of faith that a Biden deal will stop by ran from having a nuclear bomb. 

Biden adistration is negotiating with Iran to get back to Obama’s nuclear deal.  

Keep in mind that Obama‘s Iran nuclear deal only froze Iran’s uranium enrichment activities until 2025, and then Iran could do what they wanted. All while we knew Iran was lying about their nuclear activities, were cheating on the agreement and never allowed inspections anywhere anytime.

Yesterday Iran lunches ballistic missiles at the US consulate in Kurdistan

Biden administration: “This is a concern. We will issue a statement.”

Biden administration stops the US Justice Department from prosecuting Iranians planning to kill John Bolton.

Biden adistration is relying on China and Russia to negotiate the nuclear deal with Iran for us.

Good luck with that.

It's Biden's Price Hike

Why are we seeing record inflation? Just look at the quantity of money the government has injected into the economy.

No, it's not Putin's price hike as oil prices did not spike until the invasion and the inflation we are seeing is before the invasion.

Milton Friedman said: “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.”

Has their been a rapid increase of money in proportion to the economy?

Yes!  A dramatic increase.  A portion can be explained and justified as a reasonable reaction to the initial shut-down of the economy due to the pandemic.  Think of it as an insurance policy where the government pays for what was lost if a very large, very rare event happens.

However, if the government pays significantly more than was lost, you end up with too much money chasing too few goods and inflation results. This is what is happening.  While the last amounts that were  injected by Trump may have been arguably needed, it is clear that the significant amounts injected by Biden so far, not to mention what more he has proposed, are in excess of what is needed and as a result we are seeing increased prices.

Biden's Fuel Failure

 

Biden's Performance Lacking

Crude oil and natural gas production were growing before the pandemic.  After the pandemic with Biden, oil and gas production are far lower than the trend before the pandemic.  A part of this poor performance might be due to the temporary low prices caused be the lower usage during the pandemic affecting new exploration, drilling and productions.  However, it is impossible not to recognize that the hostile polices of the Biden administration (see below) are a major factor in the failure to increase production back the previous trend.

September 2020 Biden: “ I guarantee you, I guarantee you, we are gonna end fossil fuel, and I am not going to cooperate with them. Before 2050, God willing.”

October 2020 Baiden promised to get rid of fossil fuels.

January 2021 Biden orders the Interior Department to halt new oil and natural gas leases on public lands and waters, and begin a thorough review of existing permits for fossil fuel development.

January 2021 Biden directs the federal government to remove additional 30% of federal lands and water from oil/gas exploration by 2030 

January 2021 Biden revoked the Keystone XL pipeline permit

Feb 2021 Biden adopts an inflated social cost of CO2 of $51 per ton impose more onerous fuel-economy and energy efficiency standards and requiring Agencies to use it to conduct environmental impact statements under the National Environmental Policy Act for projects lime the Alaska liquefied natural gas project and mineral leases.

May 2021 The Biden Administration directs agency officials to fight climate change through financial regulation.

May 2021 Biden directs the SEC to require companies to enumerate and disclose the financial risks of climate change

June 2021 Federal judge blocked the administration’s temporary ban on new leases to drill for oil and gas on public lands and ordered that lease sales continue.

November 2021 Biden administration did hold the largest-ever offshore leasing auction known as Lease Sale 257, a Gulf of Mexico offering primed by the Trump administration. 

January 2022 The Biden administration will scrap the authorization to expanded leasing and development in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, or NPR-A. 

February 2022  Lease Sale 257 vacated by a federal judge after being challenged by environmental groups. The administration opted not to appeal in a Feb. 28 filing.

Feb 2022 Federal Judge James Cain issues injunction against Biden using his social cost of CO2

February 2022 Biden's Fed nominee Sarah Bloom Raskin claims the  Fed will have to "manage" the financial risks of climate change and climate policy saying: "Our financial regulatory bodies must do all they can—which turns out to be a lot—to bring about the adoption of practices and policies that will allocate capital and align portfolios toward sustainable investments that do not depend on carbon and fossil fuels. Translation - the Fed will make it more difficult for financial institutions to lend to oil and gas production

March 2022  Biden uses the injunction to halt permitting work on at least 18 wells on federal oil and gas leases in New Mexico and new lease sales. The White House is blaming the judge for what it was already doing or, rather, not doing.

March 2022  In a 3-2 vote divided along party lines, Biden’s appointees to the Federal Energy Commission (FERC) commission dramatically changed the policy for reviewing and approving applications for new natural-gas pipeline projects requiring the projects to greatly increase the way negative effects on the environment are measured thus making these permits much more difficult to obtain.

March 2022 Industry is using a higher percentage of federal onshore and offshore leases than at any time in the past, and it’s continuing to increase production to meet surging demand. Biden purposefully misusing the facts.  Just because you have a lease doesn’t mean there’s actually oil and gas in that lease, and there has to be a lot of development that occurs between the leasing and then ultimately permitting for that acreage to be productive.

March 2022 Biden administration appeals and overturns lower court ruling preventing the use of higher CO2 costs of the Biden Administration. So now it will be harder to get permits and leases. Will have to wait to see what the supreme court does.

Biden’s a P#%>y

On Tuesday, after Poland made an offer to transfer Mig 29 jets to the Ukraine through the US, because they were afraid they would get attacked by Putin, the Pentagon rejected the offer claiming “It is simply not clear to us that there is a substantive rationale for it,” 

That was a lie, a smokescreen for Biden 

Turns out it was Biden that stopped the Polish  jets from going to the Ukraine because he was afraid it would provoke Putin.

Stop Putin Now

Stop Putin Now!

Putin is an evil man, a thuggish dictator running a kleptocracy. He kills journalists. He kills political opponents. He kills innocent civilians by the tens of thousands.

Putin said he wants the Russian empire back (Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia...)

In 2014, after the Ukrainian people demanded and started their journey towards democracy, Putin took Crimea from the Ukraine and occupied the Eastern regions of Ukraine.

In 2020, when the Putin backed Belarus dictator stole an election and remained in power, Putin provided him with the “police forces” to quash the demonstrations and financing to overcome the West’s sanctions and Belarus became a vassal state of Russia.

Now, after an hour long passionate speech where Putin claimed that the breakup of the Soviet states was illegitimate, Putin invades Ukraine, a fledgling democracy. A country that gave up its nuclear weapons in return for a promise, including by the US, to protect Ukraine’s border integrity. A country that volunteered to help the US fight wars including Afghanistan. 

As Russia continues to kill thousands, cause millions to flee and destroy cities in the Ukraine, the Biden administration continues to be afraid to stop Putin.

Just recently the US refused to allow Poland to donate their Mig29 fighters to Ukraine  Poland asked the US to be the party to transfer the jets to the Ukraine because Putin threatened Poland (a NATO  country) with war if Poland sent the planes directly to Ukraine and Poland is afraid that the US may not help them if Putin attacks them.

Sitting safely in Washington DC, the Biden administration refuses to transfer the jets, claiming that Zelenskyy doesn’t really need them, despite the Ukraine begging for the jets, deciding how Zelenskyy can best defend his civilians.  Biden is afraid transferring the jets would start a war with Putin. This despite that we are sending thousands of javelin missiles and stinger missiles that are killing Russians.  

What should be obvious from the inept performance of the Soviet army in the invasion of Ukraine, there is no reason to fear war w Russia. 

The only possible thing to fear is that Putin might use nuclear weapons to take the Ukraine. However, this is a false excuse. If Putin is willing to use nuclear weapons to take the Ukraine,  he’ll be willing to use them to take the rest of his empire (Baltic states). 

Stop him now!

Biden’s Never Mind Leadership?

Never mind!

Give up your nuclear weapons and we will guarantee your border integrity-NEVER MIND! We can’t risk going to war with Russia even though they are an evil empire invading a fledging democracy

We can’t implement sanctions because they’ll provoke Putin. - NEVER MIND! We never expected the sanctions to work

We stand for democracy. - NEVER MIND!  We’ll cheer for you from the sidelines as Russians kill innocent civilians.

We give a greenlight to Poland providing fighter jets to Ukraine - NEVER MIND! We do not believe Poland’s proposal is a tenable one.

Biden afraid of Putin AOC his shadow

How many Ukrainians does Biden want to die? Is he really trying to give Putin the Ukraine? 

It seems Biden is afraid of Putin, AOC and his own shadow.

The Biden administration just responded to the Polish offer of providing fighters to the Ukraine.  Neyt!

“It is simply not clear to us that there is a substantive rationale for it,” Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said.

The authorities of the Republic of Poland, after consultations between the President and the Government, are ready to deploy – immediately and free of charge – all their MIG-29 jets to the Ramstein Air Base and place them at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America.

Stop Putin w No Fly Zone

 

Putin said he wants the Russian empire back (Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia...)

In 2014, after the Ukrainian people demanded and started their journey towards democracy, Putin took Crimea from the Ukraine and occupied the Eastern regions of Ukraine.

In 2020, when the Putin backed Belarus dictator stole an election and remained in power, Putin provided him with the “police forces” to quash the demonstrations and financing to overcome the West’s sanctions and Belarus became a vassal state of Russia.

Now, after an hour long passionate speech where Putin claimed that the breakup of the Soviet states was illegitimate, Putin invades Ukraine, a fledgling democracy. A country that gave up its nuclear weapons in return for a promise, including by the US, to protect Ukraine’s border integrity. A country that volunteered to help the US fight wars including Afghanistan.

The west Initially imposed limited sanctions that resulted in the Russian stock market actually going up. The west then increased the sanctions to include limiting Russian banks’ access to the global financial system (SWIFT) and on Russian oligarchs.  But so far the west hasn’t stopped Russian oil exports, The Swift sanctions are only on less than 10 out of hundreds of Russian Banks and the sanctions on oligarchs is limited to a handful of oligarchs.

With only limited military support, most of which has been given after the invasion, Ukraine is bravely fighting a heroic battle against a vastly larger and more modern military. 

Russia is killing 1000’s.

Russia is destroying cities forcing millions of civilians to flee.

Ukraine is begging for a no-fly zone

The west, especially the US, claims they cannot support a no-fly zone because it would lead to nuclear war BUT that the West would stop Putin if he tries to invade a NATO country. 

This is hard to believe. If US can stand by the side when the largest country in Europe, a fledgling democracy with over 40 million people is invaded, civilians being killed, how can anyone believe that the US will risk a nuclear war to protect, say Lithuania, a country 1/20 the size of Ukraine. 

If Putin is willing to use nuclear weapons to take the Ukraine then he’s willing to use nuclear weapons to take the rest of his empire. The world needs to stop him now.

Everyone still making more

Using the latest data from the CBO on Income distribution:

1. Everyone is still making more;
2. The rich are still paying far more than others; and,
3. The proportion the rich are paying is increasing.

Biden afraid of his shadow

You have to be kidding me! The Biden administration working with the New York Times is communicating that they are concerned that maybe the sanctions are putting Putin in a corner.

Give me a break. Putin is free to leave the Ukraine in any direction except west. The sanctions aren’t putting him in a corner, they’re trying to protect a tiny corner (Ukraine) a fledgling democracy. 

It appears to me the Biden administration is making excuses for not getting tougher and trying to get support from the public for not getting stronger.

Our Swift sanctions aren’t really that Swift, leaving many many Russian banks and oil transactions outside of the sanctions. Only 12 Russian oligarchs have been sanctioned so far. Sanction all 100. 7 banks out of SWIFT. Remove all Russian banks from SWIFT. And stop doing business with Russia now “because Putin won’t stop with Ukraine.”

The only way to stop Putin is with a No-Fly zone.  If we give in to his "nuclear threat" he will get whatever he wants. 

Putin wants the Russian empire (Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia...) If he is willing to use nuclear weapons to take the Ukraine then he’s willing to use nuclear weapons to take the rest of his empire. The world needs to stop him now

Biden's Jobs Claim BS

People still aren't working

Biden's claims are meaningless and intellectually dishonest as his job creation comes after a shutdown when you'd expect record growth AND his jobs creation post pandemic are still just a fraction of Trumps job creation post pandemic as meaningless as this comparison is.

Vaccine mRNA in your DNA?

 

This was a question I had regarding mRNA vaccines. The possibility of reverse transcriptase taking some of the mRNA and using it to modify DNA in our cellular genome.  CDC claimed impossible (not improbable or insignificant). This paper shows that in a Petri dish, in human liver cells, it appears mRNA can be reversed transcribed into DNA.  It did not show, nor did it attempt to, that any of this DNA was incorporated into the cellular genome. 

Even if it is, this doesn’t necessarily mean there’s any problem. Even if it gets incorporated in some gene DNA it’s not clear that there are any corresponding transcription factors to tell the DNA to make the mRNA to make spike proteins. Then, even if it made the spike protein there’s no evidence it would really bother anything. But interesting nevertheless. 

Note that I participated in the J&J vaccine trial and I am triple vaxed with mRNA vaccine

Biden fights wrong battle

 Despite the science(1,2) that has shown that gender conversion of a children may do more harm than good, President Biden spent time this week(3) to try to influence America to resist Texas’s efforts to limit gender conversion in children. 

It’s not like there’s a war going on that threatens Democracy and is killing 1000’s of innocent people. Oh wait. There is.
