Who Gets It Worse ?

 (Who Gets It Worse ?)

Today, one can open with a bad case of poison Ivy. Equivocal statements from so-called "elite" universitas such as Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology had their respective President's respond to a letter from 72 legislators from both parties that found the leadership of those institutions who seem to be unable to definitively state whether genocide of Jews is not a bad thing ? These university presidents, all women, are confronted by their own polices of diversity, equity and inclusion that do not make moral judgements, think that a broader context is needed instead of a yes or no answer. But, in this case, that is exactly what is required. And, a price is being paid by these universities is accumulating as numerous doners have begun to withdraw the various endowments.


In any event, Hunter Biden has joined Donald Trump in the ranks of those in some legal jeopardy. However, Trump's is a wholly political persecution with hostile jurisdictions seeking to diminish his standing. Trump's holdings in New York and his Palm beach estate have been undervalued. He has been charged with fraud where there is none. That being said, the former President needs to be found not-guilty but it will only take one guilty verdict, regardless of circumstances.


Hunter Biden on the other hand has committed statutorily violations, not just in tax evasion but indeed as perhaps a foreign agent. Younger Biden was protected for as long as he was able and even the Special Prosecutor, David Weiss, allowed Junior every opportunity up to an including the so-called "sweetheart" deal that had been offered some months ago and reflected by that Delaware judge. On some charges, the statute of limitations was allowed to expire. What brought the nine indictments out of California the other day derived from the testimony from the IRS whistleblowers that had been before Congress a few months ago.


As was mentioned, the total incarceration time from all nine counts on Hunter Biden is seventeen years. The total prison time that Trump could receive is 700 years behind bars. Who then is getting off ? But any consideration of Hunter Biden has to be made in the context of how it affects his Father.


But Donald Trump wants to be President again and how will Hunter's situation contribute to that scenario ? That assumes, however, that Joe Biden will remain the Democrat Nominee but if he gets removed, then what happens to the Hunter Biden prosecution ? For that matter, what happens to the Trump Campaign ?

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
