Bit Players ?

(Bit Players ?)

What a cast of characters. Of the eight Republican contenders, former South Carolina Governor and U.N. Ambassador, Nikki Haley. She was one of the candidates that pundit opinion suggested excelled the other night. Aside from schooling Vivek Ramashawi in foreign policy. Haley also made the admonition that Mr. Biden might not make it to term and in that eventuality, Vice President Kamala Harris would be elevated.


While there may be waning confidence in the President, there is none in the VEEP. Ms. Harris has been a fish out of water since day one and is only in Office because she checked all boxes. That being said, the Vice President has been the least visible executive in the Biden Administration. She was named Tsar over the border, the one that has been in a stare of collapse. What has the Vice President done for the American manned space program. The Vice President has a known communication problem. with constant preparations of word salads.


Having a President Biden is bad enough. His neglect of Maui, his believing that he continues to do good things, like now limiting ceiling fans. It seems that Joe Biden cannot be bothered to be President. That being said, could the country sustain a President Harris ? In Govenor Haley's opinion, such an Administration would be disastrous because as bad as Biden is now, Harris could only be worse. God save us from amateurs, as they say.


It is also Haley's opinion that Donald Trump would not be an alternative to neither Biden nor Harris as he will too involved with his own legal troubles. To be sure, President Biden could soon issues of his own as an evolving case for bribery is being investigated. Biden could be impeached himself and he could be convicted out of the Senats.


The quandy. If avoiding a Harris Presidency but how will one proceed with maintaining Biden if he is revealed to indeed have committed -"high crimes ?" So, if it is not Biden and it cannot be Harris and it will not be Trump, then who ?

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
