Same Old Same Old

Our calendars have barely turned to 2021 and already we have topics to discuss, some of which are personal in nature, others are political, of course.

 

On the personal side, my New Year’s resolution has fallen to the wayside.  I don’t know why I continually make them year after year after year.  Wait.

 

That’s my new New Year’s resolution: Don’t make any New Year’s resolutions.  Nuff said.

 

Inasmuch as we quickly waded back into the political arena, I’ll try to keep this brief because we’re all pretty exhausted from the media’s lies over the past five years.

 

President Donald J. Trump desperately tried to tie up loose ends before his expected departure in a few short weeks.  One item on his agenda was to keep the guvment open.

 

You see, the guvment needs a budget in order to exist to pay its bills, and Congress holds the purse, not President Trump.  The annual budget runs from October 1st to the following September 30th, every year.  

 

Unfortunately, Congress was much too busy with their shenanigans with impeachment, working to elect Joe Biden, and something called COVID-19, to do their jobs for which they were hired by their constituents.  Alas.

 

Hoping President Trump would leave office before noticing the famous bottomless treasure chest of the U.S. Guvment was as empty as Joy Behar’s head, Congress thought their foot dragging would prevent the sitting president from doing his job, unlike them.

 

They niggled until the 11th hour before proposing a budget that gave $174,000,000,000 to America, and $726,000,000,000 to the rest of the world.  Please re-read that before you reach for the bottle of Scotch.

 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrat, has been jerking Americans around by a short leash for decades and hasn’t stopped yet.  Her proposal for helping unemployed and destitute Americans was to give them a check for $600.

 

That $600 is supposed to help impoverished families buy groceries, pay rents and mortgages, and utilities for months.  Of course, if you live in Zimbabwe, you be a millionaire with $600.  In America, that’s enough to keep a car in the driveway, but without insurance.

 

Not be left out, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Republican, blocked a last-ditch effort by President Trump to increase those checks to $2000.  Good Ol’ Boy Mitch pretended he didn’t know what was happening and let the Trump increase expire without action.

 

So there are two examples of people who are over-employed and working in the guvment.

 

Meanwhile, California Gubenor Gavin Newsom, Democrat, began practicing crying on-cue, much like an old fashioned starlet in one of those black and white movies.  He is now contending he will be issuing “stay-at-home-orders” until Simon Says…

 

Closely following California’s Brain Trust, New York State and City officials are ardently trying to one-up already bankrupt California by demanding business owners, shopkeeper, restaurateurs, and anyone else providing their guvment types with a tax base, to close up.

 

Clearly these elected nincompoops, and hence their voting constituents, are getting what they asked for.  It won’t be long before the unemployed are unable to keep their residences, vehicles, or anything else without guvment approval.

 

These same idiot politicians who refuse to let you work demand you continue living life as usual.  Of course you can’t.  Any industry that allows its workers to be constructively employed will also fold because no one will be able to buy their products.  Oh, oh.

 

In that case, the guvment will give you sustenance through food banks, gas through rationing, “free universal healthcare” via Veteran’s Administration medical services, and that “free college education” will mean nothing more than everyone bragging they own a coffee cup.

 

But there is good news.  Antifa are still rioting in Portland, Oregon, because they want mayhem and they desperately want to instill fear.  Congratulations!  Mission accomplished.

 

We already know Facebook and Twitter are pro-censorship and enjoy controlling their focused narratives.  They, too, lied to not only Congress, and the Senate, but the entire United States population about blocking postings by and for President Trump.

 

So here we are heading down the same path in a different year with similar scenery and familiar faces.  And I’m still writing the wrong year on my checks – 2013.

 

People cheered the end of 2020.  I’m not sure why, though.

 

Happy New Year.
