The downside of the lingering demise of Western religions is that many politicians, media types and other glitterati meatheads no longer care about their afterlives… and are willing to screw the rest of us while they are still vertical. — Fletcher

Politicians have found devious ways of getting their palms greased:
- Large campaign donations
- Sponsored political events
- Directing business to relatives’ companies
- Crony capitalism
- Private jet travel and lavish dinner parties
- Donated celebrity apprearances
- Family “charity” foundations
- Overly-generous book advances
AND NOW …
- Straw-blown paintings auction
STAND UP FOR HONEST POLITICS!
President Biden is possibly the most extreme example of the Peter Principal that I have seen in my lifetime. — Fletcher
Afterward: He was a much better lifeguard.

This afternoon, President Biden held a brief presser after his foreshortened summit meeting with Russia’s Putin … and as usual ate his left shoe. There were many gaffs, but these three stuck in my craw:
- Biden had given Putin a list of 16 targets that were off-limits to Russian hackers. Only 16 Joe … any others would be OK?
- When asked about his attitude toward BLM, he brought up the January 6 Capitol invasion (and repeated the lie that a Capitol policeman was murdered) … all as though BLM had orchestrated it. Oops!
- He started again into his fractured Declaration of Independence history lesson … with another misquote … and said we were born with our freedoms which we then ceded to the government. Not quite, tapioca breath! We NEVER give up our freedoms … especially to the Deep State … as you, as President, should cleverly understand!
What a disappointment we have in the White House!
Afterward: Another interesting gaff I didn’t catch — he called Secretary of State Blinken his “foreign minister.”
STAND UP FOR AMERICA!
Since the Wuhan Institute of Virology is still operating at full steam (under the command of the Chinese military) … and variants of the Covid virus keep evolving to more successful mutants … my conspiratorial gene forces me to ask— are all these Covid variants naturally occurring?
STAND UP FOR VACCINES?
Pilgrim, I’m a bit lost … when we have succeeded in the planned shutting down of our hydrocarbon industry, how are we going to power our military machines … our jet planes, our helicopters, our rockets, our missiles, our tanks, our non-nuclear navy and so forth … none of which do we have “green” replacements. I haven’t even seen any electric Army jeeps yet … have you?
It would seem to me that our politicians and their military acolytes have not thought things through very well. Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and that Ayatollah dude must be rubbing their hands together in glee over America’s impending unilateral disarmament … so stunningly stupid!

STAND UP FOR KAMALA (the powder)!
The only way that pterodactyls could have gotten airborne back in their day was if our atmosphere was much denser or our gravity was much weaker … or both. — Fletcher
Afterthought: If our atmosphere were denser a few hundred million years ago, this would mean we have been losing it into space. However, if our gravity has been getting stronger, this would help us hold onto what we have left.
STAAND UP FOR LOGIC!
