Ukraine War Redo
America has spent roughly $120 billion on the war in Ukraine so far. That translates into 120,000 nillion$. Now, I think Russia had roughly 120,000 troops in this conflict to start. Maybe if then, we had offered each of these Ruskie soldiers a million bucks to stay home?
STAND UP TO RUSKIES!
Trump’s Prescience
 |
| Trump and Fed Chairman Powell |
During his presidency, The Donald wanted the Fed to refinance our national debt with 30-year bonds (and longer) at much lower interest rates than current. Of course, it didn’t … because he wasn’t a member of the club and didn’t know anything.
 |
| Pelosi and Trump |
Trump also wanted to fill our Strategic Petroleum Reserve when oil was $30 a barrel … but Pelosi wouldn’t let him … because she hated him more than she loved America.
STAND UP FOR PRESCIENCE!

Impeachment Inquiry
Since none of the networks or cable channels … even Fox (telling?) have covered the Biden Impeachment Inquiry hearings … it has fallen to me to keep you kind blog readers up on what is happening, See the above I know I will be following it … albeit it is quite long.
I will try to follow this on a regular basis.

Interesting Factoid
The biased judge in the New York AG’s successful lawsuit against the Trump organization accusing it of fraud by overvaluing assets in order to get loans … stated that the fair value of Trump’s Mar-a-Largo estate in Palm Bearch, FL … a 17 acre estate in this prestigious community … is $18 million,
Real estate experts believe it is worth at least 10 times that amount … see: NY Post story.
Pilgrim, do you suppose that Trump might have reason to appeal this musjudgemdnt?
STAND UP FOR MAR-A-LARGO!
Again I’m an Outlier
Many talking heads believe that Joey Mumbles will not be the Democrat presidential nominee a year on November. Whether Gruesome Newson will challenge and win the nomination … or Michelle Obama will be “parachuted in” during the Chicago convention … many are predicting Biden’s ouster.
I’m not currently in this camp for one primary reason — the powerful Biden handlers like their cushy sinecures. And are likely to fight like hell to keep them … and they have lots of levers to pull.
Yes, I admit a Michelle choice might not be such a threat … but not all of Biden’s posse are Obama acolytes.
STAND UP FOR OUTLIERS!

No, it’s not the hysterical climate change hoax … a collision by an asteroid … or even nuclear war … it’s gain-of-function research on deadly pathogens in bio-labs around the world … done by mad scientists. We have learned the hard way with COVID how diabolical such activities can be … yet we continue this insanity. It’s just a matter of time unless we stop this “research” cold …
COVID had a mortality rate of less than 1%. Some of these labs are fucking with viruses (Nipah?) whose mortality rates approach 80%!
STAND UP TO MAD SCIENCE!
Mismanagemrnt
Pilgrim, any fair-minded person must admit that Democrats make piss poor mayors and governors. Most blue states are poorly run … and Democrat mayors of Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Austin, Newark, Minneapolis, New York City, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Washington, Baltimore, New Orleans, Seattle, Portland, Detroit … and on and on … are disasters … bad schools, high crime, unsanitary streets, high taxes, corruption, deteriorating infrastructure, etc. and, those situated in blue states are allowed to wallow in mismanagement … and it’s not by accident. See: Common Cents blog post.
Which demands the question … why? Why are these Democrat mayors and governors so inept at running things?
Answer — their ugly ideology controls them.
Afterward: Did I ignore our national government?
After afterward: See Dallas mayor switches to GOP.

What did NJ Democrat Senator Robert Menendez (and his wife) do to piss off the Biden administration? See: CNBC story.
Of course the bribery Menendez is alleged to be involved in is penny-ante when compared to that being supposedly hung on Joey Mumbles.
Afterward: Which, in turn, is penny-ante when compared to what I suspect the Obamas had to have hauled in … see: Four Mansions.
After afterward: The Obama fortune is understandably estimated at one billion dollars. Salaries, speaker fees, book deals and the NerFlix gig can’t even account for 1/10 that amount. So do you understand my suspicions?

Pilgrim, with all the back and forth surrounding the slow-walk of the Hunter Biden investigation by then-Deputy AG David Weiss … that allowed the statute of limitations to run out on Hunter not paying $1.5 mullion of taxes … and Deputy AG Leslie Wolfe’s outrageous interference in the investigation … a whole lot took place under AG Bull Barr’s watch.
Bill Barr is no better than Merrick Garland … only more devious.
