Ugh

Ugh.  The Russian invasion of Ukraine continues.  I exult over every Russian tank destroyed, every Russian plane or helicopter that is shot down.  

My far less important issue is the tax season.  I’ll be glad when it’s over.  Five more weeks.  Then maybe I can learn to fly my drone and make videos for YouTube.

Biden’s Unfolding Paradise

Inflation hit 8% this week.  It cost $68 to fill up my gas tank, the highest fill up cost in my lifetime.  A year ago I paid about $45.  

Meanwhile Joe Blow may get us into a war with Russia, as the latter is posting thousands of troops on the border of Ukraine.  It appears a Russian invasion is imminent.  

Football, Politics and Mindless Tribalism

Politics and football have something in common:  they both attract true believers who devolve into mindless tribalism.  For example, I’m a 49ers fan and really wanted them to beat the Rams and progress to Super Bowl 56 —but they lost.  Now I have nothing to gain or lose by this; I don’t get any money or rings or any tangible reward.  It’s just a matter of pride, go team!  

Politics also has its mindless tribalists.  Instead of supporting those who make our lives better, we mentally associate with one party or the other because that party is “our tribe.”  Trump helped create the best economy in 50 years, achieved energy independence and border security, helped create 7 million new jobs, end the Korean War and got several Muslim countries to make peace with Israel.  But to many Democrats, that doesn’t matter:  he’s not their tribe and his achievements make their tribe look bad.  So they hate him instead.  How foolish.

A Wave of Sanity Across America!

"Progressive" politics don't work, if your goal is prosperity, individual freedom and efficient, effective government.  Poverty, joblessness, and the deterioration of our military is its chief results.

The 2014 midterm elections are a wave of sanity after six years of ruinous, terrible policies.  Today I will savor the victory.

Here in California, the insane are still in control, and doing all they can to make the state job-free and keep prosperity in retreat.  Governor Moonbeam was reelected by a large majority.  Here in San Benito County the Neo-Luddites passed a law banning fracking in the county.  Gotta keep those gas prices as high as possible.  Energy is the enemy.

If I were a younger man, I'd move out of here, probably relocate to Texas.  However, due to family ties, I'm stuck.  Nevertheless, I rejoice in the greatest Republican victory in my life time.  Suffer, you leftist bastards!

H.L. Mencken's Thought for the Day

Obama Threatens Lawsuits Over Political Ad

Brian Sussman on KSFO Radio (560 AM - San Francisco) tonight discussed the controversial television ad that has the Obama campaign in a lather. The ad, by AmericanIssuesProject.org, was paid for by a rich conservative who was also involved in the Swift Boat ads that sank John Kerry four years ago.

The ad tells about the history of William Ayers, a former member of the Weather Underground, a radical Communist group that bombed the U.S. Capitol and police stations during the Vietnam war. Since that time Ayers has said that "we didn't do enough" bombings and that he is proud of his treasonous past. The case against him was dropped for lack of evidence, but Ayers has since admitted his crimes and bragged that he is "guilty as hell and free as a bird."

The ad tell how Barack Obama and Bill Ayers are fast friends. Obama even launched his political campaign from Ayers' home. Why, then, would Barack Obama be close friends with such a man?

Obama is now threatening to sue television stations who run the ad, though some stations are airing it in spite of the threats. Both CNN and Fox News have stated that they will not air the ads.

Obama supporters say the ad is false. It isn't false though -- and that's why Obama is so upset.

As a public service, Saber Point is running the ad in the left sidebar. Enjoy!

Oprah Takes It in the Shorts: the Obama Factor

From Newsmax.com:

Oprah Winfrey’s “brand” is still strong enough to give a huge boost to any book or other product she endorses, but Oprah “has taken some notable dings lately, largely of her own making,” Ad Age magazine observes.

Oprah’s endorsement of Barack Obama for president raised her “unfavorable” ratings, allowing her to be overtaken by daytime talks how rival Ellen DeGeneres as the most popular celebrity in the U.S. in a Harris Interactive poll, Ad Age reports.

A Gallup poll conducted shortly after Oprah announced her backing of Obama found that her “favorable” rating fell by 8 percentage points, to 66 percent from 74 percent in January of last year, while her “unfavorable” rating surged by more than half, from 17 percent to 26 percent.
