By The Numbers. . .

(By The Numbers. . .)

Everything has a quantity these days, There have been GDP numbers, inflation numbers, temperature numbers, instances where the Biden Administration "coerced" Facebook to censor certain American expressions and only a small percentage of Biden's renewal energy sources have been connected to the Grid,


The Gross Domestic Product for the last quarter was at 2.1% annualized growth. That is a number that has been an improvement over recent reading but still significantly below the total domestic potential. Inflation was moderated some but that broader point is that these conditions have absolutely nothing to do with Bidenomics. These numbers, as anemic as they are, were achieved in spite of the President's program.


Anyone who has seen a thermometer recently could tell that things are hot. Temperatures have either breached 100° or have come close. Heat advisories have been posted nationwide. And, as if on cue, leftist hysteria immediately blames climate change. There have been hot summers before and 2023 is just an extreme example. And any casual viewer of The Weather Channel will see that no precipitation is in the forecast, for now.


President Biden would be one to agree with these climate activists. It has recently been revealed that the Administration had placed pressure on Facebook/Meta to limit conservative input on that platform. Certain stories conflict with Biden narrative that he is at war with Maytag. Whirlpool, and fossil fuels.


The President should really re-consider his position on the latter. The so-called green energy with which Biden is so enamored, is hardly connected to the Grid. Neither solar nor wind is anywhere near providing sufficient energy for what is required on a daily basis. The President seems content with that fact. Brownouts are blackouts can be a fact of life in Biden's America.


One more point. The fresh indictment for former President Trump seems to be timed to coincide with the evolving legal situation of Hunter Biden. One can be gratified that the Administration and the Justice Department is so transparent.

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
