One February morning in 1997, I was at a gas station in Burlington, North Carolina.  At the counter someone was complaining about new cigarette laws requiring that people under a certain age must show their photo ID.  He said it was a stupid law.

“Wait, let me explain something,” said the bearded man behind the counter.  “What you are protesting against is not a law.  You are instead protesting a regulation.  A law is something that has gone through the legislative process and is voted into being by people that you vote for and who are accountable to you.  You don’t get to vote for people who make regulations.  They can do whatever they want to do.  They don’t answer to you at all.”

It remains one of the most eye-opening exchanges I’ve ever witnessed.  It changed my perception of things.  Ever since that morning, I have cast a wary ...

 Here it is if you’ve forgotten: my most serious prediction ever…

 

Make a note of this.  January the Sixth, Two Thousand and Twenty-One.  Just before 1 p.m. EST.

If I’m wrong about this I’ll eat my fedora.  No really, I will.

Here it is:

I
do declare that four years from today, the United States will be in the
WORST condition it has been in, in at least the past fifty years.

Hold me to this.  Do it.

I am dead-#@%$ serious.
 
 
 That was ten months ago.  Much less than the forty-eight I allocated to Biden.
Out of control inflation.  Soaring gas prices.  Less food.  Energy costs set to skyrocket.  A military more dedicated to being “woke” than defense readiness.  Americans still stranded in Afghanistan.  Supply chains strangled because of over-burdening regulation on truckers.  Vaccine mandates.  No effective counter to a China becoming more belligerent by

Let future historians note that within 72 hours of his inauguration as President of the United States, Joseph Biden has:

– Severely raised the price of insulin by rescinding directives of Donald Trump to the Department of Health and Human Services
 
– Deployed more military forces to Iraq
 
– Deployed more military forces to Syria
 
– Eliminated some 70,000 private sector jobs
 
– Cancelled permits for the Keystone XL pipeline that would have employed thousands
 
– Broke his promise about fracking made during his campaign for president
 
– Signed executive orders which will make the United States no longer a net energy exporter and will instead place the country back to relying on foreign oil.
 
– Eliminated women’s sports…
 
–  …and by the same stroke of a pen allowed grown men into high school girls’ locker rooms
 
– Mandated the wear

Well, it happened.  But from the looks of things I am in plenty of good company.

Last night I made a tweet on Twitter.  The now much-beleagured company that along with Facebook (is that a possible RICO charge?) has been censoring any mention of yesterday’s New York Post story about Joe Biden and his son Hunter and their dealings with Burisma.  Among other things.

There is a photograph of Hunter Biden using a crack pipe.  Or maybe meth.  I don’t know.  Meth would be a lot nastier.  But I know this photo exists.  I know because I have seen it.

So last night I made a Twitter post, along the lines of “the question that should be asked of every journalist, news outlet, and social media giant: Why should we trust you?”

Below that I added: “P.S.: there is a photo of Hunter Biden with a crack pipe.”

I just ...

Students at Wright State University who were protesting against Joseph Biden when he visited the campus last week were quarantined a quarter-mile away from the Vice President by the Secret Service. This happened not once, but twice. The rationale given by the Secret Service: they “didn’t want the protesters to be too close to the motorcade.”

Before any Republicans or Romney supporters cry “foul” about this, it would be well to remember that this exact same thing was routine policy during the presidency of George W. Bush! But that fact hasn’t deterred a number of people on “conservative” websites from claiming that the Secret Service is violating the First Amendment, that Obama is violating the Constitution ad nauseum… when Obama’s predecessor, a Republican president, was also insulating himself from public dissent with the very same methods, and on a much more chronic basis. Very many of Bush’s ...

A friend suggested this tonight, and lo and behold someone already made a YouTube video of the idea…

Congratulations, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, your lovely daughters, and Vice-President Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden. This is your day. And I think I speak for most of us when I say, our prayers are with you and we ask that the Lord will give you the wisdom and diligence that you will need in the days, months and years ahead....

We do not need any more elected officials who believe that God is telling them to change the world.

What we need and cannot get enough of are elected officials who are letting God change them instead.

(And if more common folk would be willing to let God control them instead of trying to control the world for God, this would be a much happier place anyway…)...

Today U.S. House member Ron Paul, who has been a candidate in this year’s presidential election, called on voters to end the “charade” of the two party system and look to traditionally third parties for leadership, citing that there was no fundamental difference between Democrat candidate Barack Obama and Republican contestant John MCcain. Paul also announced that he had refused to endorse McCain, a fellow Republican.

From the CNN story…

Instead, Paul will give his seal of approval to four candidates: Green Party nominee Cynthia McKinney, Libertarian Party nominee Bob Barr, independent candidate Ralph Nader and Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin.

Paul said he’s supporting the third-party candidates because the two major parties and media had “colluded” to avoid discussing issues and falsely presenting the difference between McCain and Obama as real.

“I’ve come to the conclusion, after having spent many years in politics, is that our presidential elections
