Gettin' Had, Gettoln'

 (Gettin' Had. Gettin' Took. Tell Ya Boys. Harder Than It Looks !)

'It's a Long Way to the top, if you wanna rock and roll."

Former President Trump landed at La Guardia a little while ago. And this prolonged affair is having the effect of masking the other news that was released today. Most importantly news has come that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia along with Russia, announced a cut of over a million barrels. That is a demonstration of how President Biden is compromised and how events such as this would not have happened in the previous Administration. And, the solution open to the current President is obvious but the idea that it is the one he patently will not use and that would seek to restore American energy independence.


But that is what Trump did. He is New York in the process of being put out to pasture, it is also a fact that the Ukraine would not have been invaded had Trump remained. Trump would not have abandoned Afghanistan. Had his Administration continued, the southern wall would have been completed by now. All the fentanyl deaths could have been avoided.


China would have been kept under sanction and Premier Xi Jinping would be far more pliant and would more readily give a President Trump an explanation on the origins of covid. As President Putin is now all but the junior partner to Xi, and President Biden is only haphazardly committed to Ukraine, so he is encouraging a stalemate. An equilibrium.


The one thing Biden has going for him is the prospect that Donald Trump will again be the GOP Nominee. So, he can keep from drilling and allow energy inflation to take hold. He can allow the chaos at the border to persist and have Secretary Mayorkas insist there is no crisis.  He is making every move that Donald Trump would not. In the end, However, Joe Biden will still be President. Donald Trump, assuming he does not incarcerated, will at best be retired. Maybe he can write another book.

Siege Of The Alamo

(Siege Of The Alamo) Any visitor to Downtown San Antonio will recognize the City's most famous landmark, the Alamo. An old Spanish mission that means "Cottonwood" in English was the site where the likes of Jim Bowie, William Barrett Travis and Davy Crockett and about another 185 Texians defended the Mission and its compound for thirteen days against the Army of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana and his 5,000 troops. The garrison was finally reduced on March 6, 1836. However, the Texian defeat at the Alamo and another one at Goliad, bought time for General Sam Houston time to fall back and then face Santa Ana at San Jacinto. There, Houston's army surprised the Mexicans and yelling "Remember the Alamo, Remember Goliad !" all but wiped out the Mexican force. Santa Ana was captured and was forced to recognize the Republic of Texas. Which is now the State of Texas and, like 1836 Texas War of Independence, there is a new invasion from Mexico. Not the armed body o

TEQUILA !

(TEQUILA !) Happy Cinco de Mayo or May 5th. One can hope that a lot of you out there are awash in inebriation, seeking to mainline tequila shots or enjoying a nice margarita on the patio. Or, in other words, relax. Take a breath. De-compress. May 5th as it happens is the anniversary of Mexico's victory over French "occupation" of Mexico by Emperor Maximillian, brother to Austrian monarch Maria Theresa in what has been called the Battle of Puebla. The reason France was in Mexico in the first place was that Mexico, after the Mexican-American War and a more civil conflict called the Reform War, had bankrupted Mexico City. Mexican President at the time was Benito Juarez, who repudiated all foreign debt, of which France, Spain, and the United Kingdom were all major holders. A naval expedition was dispatched to Veracruz and France's Napoleon III thought it would be a good idea to establish a French "empire" in Mexico. But, on May 5th, 1862, in the aforementioned B

Intended Consequences

(Intended Consequences) For those Readers who live in the Tri-State area, who had the earthquake this morning, just be still.  There is a postulate called the Law of Un-Intended Consequences. Basically, it says that even with the best intentions, negative results sometimes happen. However, there are also instances when a negative result is precisely the desired outcome. Like with the Israel- Hamas war where the Biden Administration continues to press for an all but unilateral ceasefire on the part of Israel. In California, the new $20/HR minimum wage is wreaking havoc on the fast food industry. And finally, after depleting the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, oil has now become too expensive. How many times must the Biden Administration think it can influence Israeli affairs ? How many times must Israel ignore it. Threats from the President have become redundant at this point but is Biden really prepared to cut Israel loose ? In the middle of the greatest crisis Israel is facing since the
