Just Being Honest ?

(Just Being Honest ?)

Who the Hell is Jason Aldean ? He is reputed to be a country music artist that just released a controversial and has been obscenely successful. Why ? Because the concept is something some people find objectionable. The hit in question and the video it came with, "Try That in a Small Town," showed news clips of recent violent events in Americas Big Cities, Aldean's point that the chaos in the likes from Chicago or New York and etc do not get replicated in a more rural setting. An inference can also be made and this is the source of the left's complaint is that large cities are run by Democrats whereas Republicans reside in those less urbanized precincts. This would be where one would find a Trump voter.


As in other cases of this nature, the effect to cancel this Aldean single, by Country Music Television and others, all but guaranteed its rise to Number 1. The same thing happened to Married, With Children, back in the day which kept the show airing longer than M*A*S*H had. That being said, because Aldean told it like it is, a lot of people took offense and a lot of people need a life.


Jason Aldean was describing Biden's America. That would be the one where President Biden is pushing Bidenomics, believing it is a good thing. Like moving against gas water heaters. Like gas stoves. Like high-capacity dish washers or good air conditioning and so on. The President has always had a skewed sense of reality, however.


But what is the reality ? The President is under serious investigation with physical and cognitive issues. There is a persistent drip from the Republican House with more revelations to be forthcoming. Previous evidence notwithstanding, the consensus is that Donald Trump still will not be President. That being said, there is one poll that has the former President up five. But, that is not necessarily being honest.

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
