The Better Look

(The Better Look)

All things being equal, it would appear that President Biden has the upper hand when dealing with former President Trump. Biden is able to campaign, Trump is stuck in court. Biden is out raising money whereas Trump remains at a deficit. Of course, when the Court session is over, Trump makes some comments when he emerges from the courthouse bemoaning the whole procedure, saying Biden is corrupt, that he is the worst President in history and so on. That being said, what has the President been able to accomplish with this "freedom of movement ? He us getting out among the public and still promoting Bidenomics and how proud he is in his green agenda.


It was mentioned that Biden promised to debate Trump sometime in the future on the Howard Stern broadcast. That might or might not take place but what is the President doing in the meantime ? Is he really believing his uncle was eaten by cannibals ? He can talk about that or something that is a little closer to his reality. Beholden to the green lobby, Biden has further restricted petroleum exploitation in Alaska and has also vowed to end the use of coal. All these will continue to make the American energy budget and the goal of having every vehicle electric by 2030 problematic.


On the other hand, what is Trump intending ? When Court gets adjourned, Trump has said that he will  be going to s "rally' in the South Bronx and an even bigger event at Madison Square Garden. Who then is getting more exposure ? Biden with his ability to be out among the people or Trump who likely will be able to pack the Garden. Speak of must see TV. And, if Trump made this a Pay-Par View event, that would go long distances in settling any payment disputes.


It all depends on a point of view. Trump is getting exposure even when he gets confined most of the time. He sadly missed his wife's birthday and his perhaps his son's graduation. The public perception of the former President is that the charges are frivolous and Trump is being unduly persecuted. Joe Biden on the other hand, is being honest as only he can.

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
