A Warning Biden Can't Understand

 It is frightening to have a dementia patient for POTUS.

I used to feel secure in the knowledge that the Department of Homeland Security, in cooperation with the CIA, was keeping an eye on the Jihadists. Dealing with them before they had a chance to set foot in the US. But I don't have that secure feeling anymore. Mainly because the FBI is busy looking for those elusive White Supremacists that Merrick Garland thinks have infiltrated PTA meetings. And the fact that the southern border has been wide open for 3+ years.

Russia just suffered a terrorist attack where 130+ civilians were massacred by four muslim men at a large public venue. Putin looks like a moron for ignoring Western warnings of the attack. The Russians are brutalizing the perpetrators, which is a sign of immaturity. The deed is done and Russia lost.

Now you would think that Biden's support staff would wake him up, give him some ice cream, a dose of Adderall, prepare him a fiery speech about domestic security, prop him up at a podium, point him at the teleprompter, and have him reassure the American public that he is (a) aware of the real dangers and (b) actually directing his minions to take it seriously. But, you know, Biden's priorities seem to be winning reelection by imprisoning Trump.

So I'm afraid an attack is going to happen and Biden will pull an Obama by standing on the bodies of the victims yelling for gun control - or some other irrelevant feel-good reaction.

I remember the Beslan School siege in Russia. I remember the Las Vegas concert massacre (that the FBI never solved). So far, the most recent shootings have been stopped by the public. But there are a lot of places where the public is denied self-defense. We're in danger of a lot of attacks - we don't have a handle on who has crossed into the US.

If only we had a POTUS who was cognisant of the dangers - somebody who cared.

Biden's March Madness

 Biden's State Of The Union (SOTU) address was a weird one. Biden seemed like an angry, agitated old man yelling at kids "GET OFF MY LAWN!". No idea if he was drugged, but his speech wasn't unifying nor did it rise above partisan politics. He lied a little more than normal and he skipped the issues people care about, focussing instead on Russia and Ukraine. I guess the SOTU was Biden's way of telling the Democratic faithful that he's not dead yet.

The following afternoon Biden gave a speech in Pennsylvania where he exhibited his usual babbling, freeze ups, and disorientation. Fortunately there weren't any steps.

Conservative news outlets railed against Biden's SOTU speech and Liberal news orifices gushed how Biden looked so full of energy. As we head towards November 5th, Biden will campaign from his basement again and the liberal media will cover for him.

America's stupidest generation, GenZ, will vote "NOT TRUMP" and Joe Biden will continue to be the puppet POTUS.

February 2024 Ramblings

 I found the movie "The Imitation Game" to be a very well acted farce similar to "The Inglourious Basterds". Historically accurate in that there was a man named Alan Turing and WWII did happen. As TIB was accurate in that Hitler did exist and WWII did happen. Beyond that, the movies were entertaining make-believe. I feel sorry for those who might accept the movie nonsense as fact.

Speaking of nonsense - Joe Biden. I'm not sure the guy is going to make it to November. He just had a Federal prosecutor decline to indict over classified documents because Joe's mental capacity is that of a feeble old man. 

The border has me concerned. Over 34,000 Chinese immigrants illegally entered the US in 2023 (US Border Patrol contacts - so we can reliably assume a much higher number entered). Many of which were single men of military age. Bret Weinstein interviewed some of these men in Panama and found them very tight-lipped - not at all willing to divulge their reason for heading to the US. Whereas other immigrant groups would share how they were fleeing conflict, poverty, etc. Thousands of Chinese military?

I was hoping the border would force Biden's hand. But his handlers seem determined to leave the Border unsecured as long as possible. A game is being played with aid to Israel and Ukraine - it is almost as though Biden is willing to concede Ukraine to Putin in order to keep our Southern Border unsecured. This is like the movie where the plane is in a steep dive and you keep wondering when the pilot is going to pull up. Are Biden's handlers really going to destroy Biden for sake of future Democrat voters?

Back to young Chinese men in the US for a moment: I heard a rumor that they were buying guns and practicing in Idaho. But they can't legally buy guns and nothing has been reported in Idaho where I reside.

A second fear of Chinese military age men is the remembrance of the Beslan Russia school massacre in 2004 (Google it). I've been comforted that our security apparatus tracks known Islamic bad guys deals with them before they can carry out an atrocity. But what about PLA military? We have zero intelligence gathering on China's soil and we have little experience in dealing with a domestic military operation - as opposed to a couple of jihadist crazies. Schools to power stations - a lot of vulnerability.

I don't think Joe's going to reelected.

Watch Biden Morph

 2024 will be the year that old Joe will move to the center. Or at least his handlers will move him to the political center, as he is in dementia bliss.

Joe already backed off on his drilling permit delays and extraction tax, so the oil is flowing and the US is the world's largest oil producer. Accordingly, energy prices are down, reducing the inflation rate (rate, not past price increases which are now permanent). The Fed will lower the Prime, mortgage rates will fall (presently at 6.6%), people will buy and sell houses, which will drive the economy up. 

Regarding the southern border, the biggest issue with all voters, Joe will sign the Ukraine aid package which includes getting the border under control.

Voters will see the price of gas down sharply, their ability to qualify for a home loan improve, and the border somewhat under control. All in time for the election.

Will voters remember the 3 years of hell the decrepit Biden put them through? I think not.

Perhaps my predictions will not come to fruition. Perhaps Biden will bow out of the race before he decomposes. Perhaps Barack Obama come out and admit he's been pulling Joe's strings. Perhaps.

My final prediction: if Biden runs and  my other predictions hold, Biden will defeat Trump. There are just far too many stupid GenZ infected with TDS to ignore. Sucks, but true.

4 more years of a decomposing puppet. 4 more years of Barack Obama's failed foreign and domestic policies. 4 more years of America's decline. We may end up with the illegals leaving voluntarily.

Biden's War(s)

 I sit here in my living room this advent season remembering Linus's lines from the Charlie Brown Christmas Special - "Peace on Earth and Good Will to all Men". 

Then I started thinking about the Ukraine war and my blood pressure rises. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the US estimates that about 210,000 troops have died in the Ukraine conflict in less than 2 years.

My father, a WWII vet, said work for peace, but if you have to fight, you can't do it sitting with your hands folded. His generation understood.

I remember Vietnam. A limited conflict micromanaged by politicians lasting a decade and killing ~58,000 US troops.

NATO. Make no mistake, the principal partner in NATO is the US. Germany is a distant 2nd. The current leader of the US is Joe Biden.

When Russia invaded with tanks, the US gave the Ukraine fighters Javelin missiles. Russia has now lost 4380 tanks. But the Javelin has a very short usable range, so the Russians learned to use artillery instead of mechanized infantry. 

The US gave the Ukraine fighters artillery, but only with ammunition that has a shorter range than the Russians. Ukraine losses mounted. In fact, the majority of the death is due to artillery.

The US then gave the Ukraine fighters the HMAR missile system, but only with the short range missiles. Ukraine pushed the Russian artillery back. But Russia then turned to cruise missiles and aircraft.

Then the US gave the Ukraine fighters a couple Patriot batteries, but only enough range to stop direct air strikes well within Ukraine. Russia continued with cruise missiles destroying civilian infrastructure. To date, the US hasn't given Ukraine any means of stopping cruise missiles.

Other NATO members wanted to give Ukraine Russian aircraft - stuff Ukraine pilots and support were trained on, but Joe Biden quashed that. The US says they are giving Ukraine F16s - probably too little, too late.

In case it is not obvious by now, I believe Joe Biden's micromanaging is just more incompetence by his administration.

The Biden administration incompetence is killing soldiers at a rate not seen since WWI. And the US media is covering for him.

Russia is an old toothless 3 legged dog that lies in its bed and barks at shadows. But Joe Biden's administration is afraid. So the killing continues.

This micromanaging of the Ukraine war smells of Barack Obama - the guy with the red lines in Syria. The guy's successor, Donald Trump, destroyed ISIS in 6 months.

The media is running stories now that America has grown tired of Ukraine support. Probably trying to condition Americans for Biden bailing/abandoning - just like Afghanistan. After all, Joe is trying to get reelected and Ukraine is starting to be viewed negatively. I can't imagine that I am the only person to notice the rank incompetence.

A clock with only a second hand

 I like to be right - most folks do. It bugs me when I discover that my view on a subject is factually wrong - especially when I've been misled by media. Shame on me because I've known, since the 2016 Trump presidency, not to take anything the American media purports at face value.

The Nord Stream pipeline bombing. The American media has been very quiet about this event, likely because President Joe Biden authorized the pipeline destruction.

I was misled by media reports on the details. It wasn't until I stumbled upon Erik Andersson's (Swedish engineer) substack that I got a scientifically correct analysis. I was always bothered by the media report that a couple of divers carried down enough explosives to lift ~700,000lbs of steel/concrete pipe out of it's trench. The scale of explosion necessary was more in line with anti-ship mines, not a few hundred pounds of explosives.

What Erik noted, that the media left out, is that two of the three bombed pipes were pressurized to 164 bar (~2400psi). When the explosives cut the 1.6" thick steel 4 foot diameter pipe, the escaping gas generated thrust of ~1.5 SpaceX Merlin engines. The thrust was more than adequate to cause the pipe to whip around up and out of the trench it was originally laid in. 

So I was duped by the mindless media, again.

If you want the real analysis of the pipeline event, read Erik's fine analysis. And thank God for independent minds having an outlet to counter the brain sludge of the mainstream media.

Supporting the meat grinder

 I was curious about the Ukraine/Russia war death toll. So I started scouring various sources and soon discovered huge discrepancies in reported casualties. So I finally decided to go with US intelligence estimates and that's when it hit me.

The US lost ~405,000 in WWII,  ~37,000 in Korea, ~58,000 in Vietnam, ~6300 in Iraq & Afghanistan. Of note, we were 8 years in Iraq and 20 years in Afghanistan. 

The US Intelligence estimates ~120,000 Russian and ~90,000 Ukraine dead. Over 200,000 dead in 18 months.

6300 dead by a first-rate military action spanning decades versus 200,000 dead by 3rd-rate military action spanning a year and a half.

It should be obvious to thinking people that the Ukraine/Russia war is killing a ridiculous number of soldiers. 

It should also cause thinking people to ask "Why the hell are we supporting this carnage?

Pretty clear that Russia is no longer a conventional military threat. Russian GDP at $1.4 trillion is no match for the $12 Trillion Chinese or $22 Trillion US GDPs. Essentially Russia is a shrunken turd of a country we could completely ignore if not for their nuclear weapons.

So now I'm wondering why we are involved with NATO? NATO's sole purpose was to counter the now non-existent USSR. 

And I'm also wondering why we aren't dragging Ukraine and Russia to the bargaining table to end this meat grinder conflict. I don't expect much out of the current POTUS, but it seems that the Military Industrial Complex Ike warned us about is making a lot of money off the dead bodies.

Our media won't report on it, but it is hard to ignore 200,000 lives lost.

Damn, but I'm beginning to think Trump was right again.
