ARE WE BRITISH NOW?

There’s no decorum in the British Parliament, they jump up and down, interrupt each other, shout at each other, stage walkouts and generally act like a Kindergarten class gone amok, and these are the wise and solemn representatives of the people? It’s a clown show, they should all be standing outside selling cotton candy and juggling bowling pins.

Last night at the State of the Union speech given by Pres. Trump, the first act of incompetent stupidity was by Congressman Al Green, an unkempt black man of low IQ, who loudly interrupted Pres. Trump at the start of his speech, standing and waving a cane while declaring that Trump “has no mandate”. A lie in itself, since the vote overwhelmingly gave him one.

Green refused to shut up and had to be escorted out by the security guards.

The entire Democrat section, which was seated separately from the Republicans, never applauded, never stood with the rest of Congress to acknowledge any of the very deserving people being honored, and kept waving little signs that said things like “Elon Steals” and “Trump Lies” and they made themselves look like idiots by doing so instead of as people who truly care about the country. Their behavior was an open declaration that they put party partisanship ahead of the welfare of the nation. In front of the world, they looked bad.

Nancy Pelosi was there but only as a bystander this time, a guest, she had to sit there and be humiliated as Donald Trump was again President in spite of all her efforts to harm him, as he ripped her party’s past efforts to shreds instead of her ripping up his speech as she did, so infamously, in Congress in his first term. That was one of the most disrespectful displays ever conducted in the Congress of the United States, and the shame of it will be her lasting legacy.

At least this time there was no large bloc of Dem. party women all dressed in white to signify some cause no one really even remembers, probably because no one cared about it at the time except them. There were some women dressed in pink, or was it red, I forget already, but the reason was never clear.

At the end of the speech, the final impression the Left reminded me of, was something Spiro Agnew once said when he referred to a political group as “An effete corps of snobs”.

Trump may not have all the power he appears to have. I have some misgivings, but we’ll certainly know as the days march on. Pres. Trump can only do what he’s allowed to do, by those who run our world.

In the meantime, it would be nice to see a much more solemn decorum return to our halls of Congress. Public displays of silliness don’t belong there. We have a right to expect them all to act like adults.

One last thought: Remember when being anti-war was what the Liberal Left did? Instead of the Right?

DON’T KILL ELON, WE NEED HIM

Elon Musk worries about getting assassinated for cleaning up government corruption and he should, when you strip someone of a $billion a year or whatever, income, you piss off a person with the spending power to hire an army to kill you.

I can’t speculate on how much personal security he might have around him but I hope it’s massive. We can’t afford as a race of beings, I’m saying All Of Humanity here, to lose this guy. He’s taking us to the outer planets and eventually to the stars, he’s developed Neuralink that restores lost abilities and will one day connect us in ways that are almost unimaginable. He’s advanced AI to new heights and is still going. This man is a modern Thomas Alva Edison, who gave us electric lights, the telephone, ticker tape, the phonograph and a vast number of other inventions.

Pres. Trump is leading the way to a more unified world and Elon Musk is the one paving that path, clearing away the obstructing corruption and creating innovations that carry us forward.

Beyond that, he’s proven to be one of the most entertaining people on the planet. Who hasn’t honestly been thrilled to see his rocket ships take off and then land themselves? He’s always in the news, with his radical pickup trucks, his self-driving cars, new AI advances, his takeover and makeover of Twitter, and the things he keeps saying that confound, shock and amaze.

Trump and Musk, what a combination. Who’da thunk?

DON’T BUY THE GREAT DIVIDE

There’s lots of talk by pundits supposedly in the know, that Western Europe’s NATO nations are pushing for World War 3. Ukraine’s pres. Zalinsky wants NATO membership for Ukraine and has some backing on that, particularly from the UK, which is now reported to be preparing to send in troops against Russia.

This, after Zelensky was given the boot from the White House and Pres. Trump made it clear that Zelensky’s been playing the US for money and has no desire to see the war end. Now the word is that even the natural resources deal was either previously made with the UK or backdated to appear that it was.

Elon Musk recently responded “I agree” to a Twitter post saying the US should get out of NATO and the UN. While that’s not official White House policy, it has meaning and my take is that our government is starting to distance itself publicly from NATO and the UK. Not in reality, just in appearance, because we’re western Europe’s second biggest trade partner and closest, strongest military ally and that’s not suddenly going to change. It’s just that if they do take over the fight with Russia as we back away from it, the US is at the same time giving all indications it is preparing to develop a close relationship with Russia and needs to be uninvolved with NATO/UK’s engagement in Ukraine. It’s the old “Plausible Deniability” thing once again.

I think that those warning that NATO is going to plunge us into WW3 are doing so as fear propaganda, so we’ll approve of it when Trump refuses to join the rest of NATO in attacking the Russian troops. None of this would likely be happening if it weren’t true, that the US is going to embrace Russia and European NATO is going to take over the fight against Russia in Ukraine.

What this really looks like to me is the old squeeze play, W. Europe takes over the expense from us of fighting Russia up front while we hit them with Peace from the rear and force a regime change. Putin really does have to go, and this looks like how it’s going to be done.

The old saying that “All the world’s a stage” is still very true, these people are actors and what they show us isn’t real.
