White Smoke 

      Comments Off on White Smoke 

It was a tradition in the Catholic Church that, when a new Pope had been elected, white smoke would emanate from the Vatican.  It did not matter how long such a process took.  It did not matter how many votes were needed.  It was over when white smoke was seen.

The last federal budget that went through the appropriations process, passed both chambers and signed by a president, was the fiscal year 2008 budget signed in September 2007 by George W Bush.  Every single budget from that moment to today has been a series of continuing resolutions, omnibus spending packages (mini and regular) and baseline budgeted CR extensions.  This is the insanity that has resulted in the debt mess we see today.

Never Give Up

The silent majority are beginning to rise up.  The silent majority is becoming less silent.  They have been spectators so far to the battle that is going on.  Some engage in the fight from the periphery, but are still spectators.  They are not the target…yet.  But they will be once the obstacle that is in their way…President Donald J Trump…is removed.  But even if they succeed in dimming his message, others will step up.

9-11 Video

Twenty-two years ago, terrorists hijacked four American commercial airplanes.   Two planes were flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.  Another was flown into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and the last, United Airlines Flight 93, was headed for Washington, D.C. Courageous passengers nixed that plan, and the plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania, saving countless lives.

A previously unseen video of the September 11 attacks has surfaced on YouTube, capturing a rare angle of the second plane striking the South Tower of the World Trade Center. The uploader of the video said that it was “accidentally left private.”  Please note that the poster is not saying he posted this in 2001 when YouTube did not yet exist.

Never Forget

Twenty-two years ago, America suffered the worst terrorist attack on our soil in our history. Thousands of Americans, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and children were murdered by Islamic terrorists when they flew passenger jets into buildings.

People like Barack Obama would probably criticize my saying Islamic terrorists.  But that is who they were.  And the truth has no agenda.

Targeting Kids

The media is beginning to ramp up stories about a COVID surge.  Some schools have re-imposed mask mandates and, in some cases, have gone to remote learning.  Some health businesses have imposed COVID restrictions.  Joe Biden himself is in Washington wearing a mask because his wife, who is in Delaware, has contracted COVID again despite being double jabbed and double boosted.

Over the past few weeks, the U.S. has seen a slight increase in new COVID-19 hospitalizations. The CDC released new information related to the BA.2.86 variant, which it said “may be more capable of causing infection in people who have received COVID-19 vaccines.”

Democratic Rights and Norms

Now that the Republican campaign season is officially open with the first primary debate over in Wisconsin, it is probably a good idea to see what promises they are making that everyone knows they will not keep.  During the runup to these events and in interviews afterwards, the erstwhile candidates to be first loser often go deep into their visions for the country.  Again this is just blathering on their part but it is often fun to see just how hypocritical these people can be.

Mayorkas Called A Liar

Liz Cheney, the former representative in the House of Representatives from Wyoming, was soundly defeated in the Republican primary in 2022 by one Harriet Hageman.  In fact the defeat was historic with a relative unknown defeating an incumbent by almost 40mpoints.

Cheney was the epitome of a Deep State operative who believed that her position was a lifetime one and that she did not need to represent the people who had been persuaded to elect her to that position.
