Mark's Thoughts

Shorts on Several Topics:

Short 1 – A VERY LIBERAL person I know posted on Facebook his wisdom. He said:

“most people don’t know what controls the price of gas: Price of crude and availability, Cost to refine, cost to distribute, Taxes both Federal and State, oil companies desire for profits, And the President does not control any of these”. Wow, that just blew my mind, he didn’t drink the Kool Aid, he showers in it. Statement one, he is correct, the President DOES NOT set the price of crude nor the availability, HOWEVER, the Presidents actions, i.e cancelling (2) pipelines, cancelling drilling permits, DOES control that. Cost to refine, correct the President DOES NOT control the cost of refining, however HIS actions, along with very stiff regulations do. Now for the Federal taxes on fuel, he does in a direct way control that, as Biden has even floated the test balloon of forgoing the Federal gas tax to help us poor peasants, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-weighs-a-gas-tax-holiday-how-much-would-consumers-really-save/ar-AAYFVWk?li=BBnb7Kz, so he does control that. The final, and oh my gosh, the worst, oil companies desire for profits, well no shit dude, kinda like your employer wanting to make profits, it means you might be able to work for a bit longer, and retire from big yellow. Dude, this is what companies do, they are not in business as a hobby. This is the type of garbage the White House and Administration is spreading, i.e., it is NOT our fault. Breaking New: Just released, Biden ignites uproar for suggesting inflation hitting families is ‘chance’ to accomplish liberal agenda item, https://www.foxnews.com/media/backlash-ensues-president-biden-suggests-inflation-chance-make-fundamental-turn-clean-energy, just goes to show you, Biden does not give a darn about the American people, none, zip, zero, zilch.

Short 2 – No Recession, according to Janet Yellen, Secretary of the Treasury, Ok I have spoke about this dizzy old woman before. She is so out of touch with the economy she is supposed to be at the helm of, damm people, she is going to run it aground, and of course, like last time, inflation, it is not our fault. What a joke.

Short 3 – Biden’s bike accident – Ok, I after some prodding my my grandson Henry, I rode a bike last weekend, as did the President. However, I did not wipe out like he did, I have lots of sore leg muscles, but I didn’t tip over. Now you can say it is no big deal, or is it? Now the legacy media barely coverd it, and I ampretty sure the reason was, they DO NOT want to show how unsteady he really is. Now if he had not tipped over, well hell, they would have said, look at the shape he is in. Just thinking when Trump was President, hell they reported if he farted, oh wait I can’t say farted, sorry, I mean broke wind.

You know I can’t wait for tomorrow as the Dems / Liberals / Socialists, try to spin what is going on in the country, and see how they try to blame the American people for everything, you know we are the deplorables, or at least that is what we were told once.

Today was a blessing, and Tomorrow is a new day.

Stock Market: Wow Friday was just a great day for the market, NOT. Down 880 points, and I am guessing that this coming week will be more of the same. Prices are going through the roof everywhere, and it does not matter what you are buying, be it fuel, coffee, or dog food, cost are going through the roof. At the rate of inflation, of between 8.6 percent and 9.0 percent, Now if you wages happened to go up lets say 5% last year, well you are only about 4% behind the curve. Now this yea, I will be will to be the raises will not be that much at all. Where I am going with this is the Biden administration does NOT care one bit. Now he says he is going to reduce costs for drugs and healthcare, but really for most of the people of this country, this is not what is needed, Relief for food and fuel costs is what is needed, but once again, Biden administration does not care, in fact they are really very smug about it.

Biden says it is all perception of the American people that things are bad, when really they are. This attitude and response really just blows my mind, and yes I know it shouldn’t, but it does. This administration, along with the progressives / socialists that are part of the Democratic party and administration are doing everything in their power to reshape this country into their vision.

Electric Vehicles: Now, let me travel to the progressive / socialists Democratic USA, in the near future, where we are really beginning to switch over to our electric whatever it might be. Wow fossil fuel usage has dropped by 40%, and all is milk and honey. Oh but wait, what do you think the Government is going to do about lost tax revenue. Now currently, just for gas, the FEDS get .18 per gallon, and currently we are using 369 million gallons of gas per day. Ok, that is just a little over 66 million per day in LOST taxes. Now do you think that the feds are going to do without their just a little over 24 billion per year, hell no. They will just find something else to tax the crap out of, to make up for the loss. And oh don’t worry, your state and local governments will do the same thing, cause they need that money.

Lost Opportunity: OK, this is just me. I am watching the responses from the Republican leadership is kinda missing the boat. I wish they would get out in front of the cameras, and tell the American what they would do and will do if elected to begin the process taking American back to the way it was prior, to this administration coming into power.

More to come this week. Today was a blessing, and Tomorrow is a New Day

Democrat Prime Time Circus Show:

Well tonight starts the prime time Democratic hearings on the Jan. 6th event. First I want to state that I was NOT supportive of what happened at all. The way it went down was way out of line and only served to put a big black eye on the conservative group. The purpose of this whole hearing, and being done in prime time, with the SUPPORT of the main stream media, is nothing more than to paint the conservative / Make America Great supporters look like demons and radical right wing movement is just a bunch of radicals that are against everything the Democrats / Socialist’s stand for. Now mind you, the media will have all their talking heads giving you their take on this, and how great this committee is and how they have only the countries best interests at hand. And how they are here to guide the country to the best it has ever been, you know like Biden said, ‘Build Back America Better’, well that was nothing more than saying, ‘Build America The Way We Want It, Socialists’.

The Democrats know that they are facing, what I hope to be, and RED landslide in the up coming mid-terms and general election, so they need to take the focus AWAY from fuel prices, Food prices, and inflation, and place it on this stupid committee findings. I am sure that this committee will find a way to bring gun control into their findings, and how THEY need to change the Second Amendment to accomplish this.

At this point I will have to force myself to watch this, even though I know I should, but it is hard as it will be nothing more than a shit shown and look how important we are. I am hoping that the Republicans take advantage of this and really come back at them with rebuttal points, and what the real issues are, but I don’t know if the Republican leaders have the balls to do that.

Oh yes, as a side note, Biden on the Kimmel show last night, once again said, he can’t control food or fuel prices, but what he can do is try to lower drug costs, and make health care more affordable, OMG really, once again, he does NOT care if the American public has to pay horribly at the pump or the check out lane, he really does not. Nor does he care about boarder security, nope.

We will see what happens tonight, and see what ALL of the talking heads have to say.

Today is a blessing, and tomorrow is a new day.

Biden’s Fuel Prices:

I call them Biden’s fuel prices as they are a direct result of his very direct first day in office to shut down the Keystone and Dakota pipelines. Before I go too far, let me state, Joe Biden, IS NOT making all of these policy moves,, he is not capable, he is a old man that can’t remember what he is supposed to do next, it is the socialists / communist democrats behind the scenes that are trying to fundamentally change how America lives, works, and goes from day to day. These people could give a crap less about the price of fuel, and the down stream effect of that, as I am sorry, I don’t care what the Biden cabinet says, but COST OF FUEL, COST OF FUEL, COST OF FUEL, is driving the major portion of the inflation at this point. And yes the government pumping money into the economy did not help any at all. OMG people have you heard Dr. Janet Yellen, Secretary of the Treasury speak, OMG talk about a brain dead person, who has no idea what the hell she is doing, well she is it. She said in a interview at CNN that she MIGHT have underestimated the rate of inflation and how fast it would climb. OK, I am sorry when you get to that level in government, you better know what the hell you are doing, but we can see she does not. Oh yes now Mr. Pete Buttigieg, Secretary Of Transportation, we he could be stepping in to help reduce fuel prices, but he is not, he is worthless as well. I truly believe in my heart of hearts, they want fuel to be 10.00 per gallon, so GREEN vehicles will be sold more. And one last thing, remember these people behind the scenes call the shots, DO NOT PAY FOR FUEL, we pay their fuel bill, so they don’t give a crap.

Now this same group, socialists / communist democrats, are now making a full on assault on the second amendment. It is so horrible, and so low of how these people are using the TRAGIC, TRAGIC events of Uvalde Texas, Buffalo supermarket, Philadelphia, however these people never let a good disaster go to waste. All of this said, I believe the goal is to take the first steps to take guns from the citizens of this country. You can’t do it all at once, but you do it a little at a time, and it does not seem like anything is happening. I truly wish I felt different about this, but I feel those in government have a hidden agenda.

Please vote, vote vote.

Today was a Blessing, and Tomorrow is a new day.

We Don’t Understand:

I don’t understand why there is a shortage of baby formula – Well I did a little research and here is what a simple person like me can determine. First, the bacteria. After the recent deaths of at least two infants from a rare infection, the Food and Drug Administration investigated Abbott, a major producer of infant formula, and discovered traces of the pathogen Cronobacter sakazakii in a Michigan plant. As a result, the FDA recalled several brands of formula, and parents were advised to not buy or use some formula tied to the plant. Second, the pandemic has snarled all sorts of supply chains, but I can’t think of a market it’s yanked around more than infant formula. “During the spring of 2020, formula sales rocketed upwards as people stockpiled formula just like they stockpiled toilet paper,” Lyman Stone, the director of research at the consulting firm Demographic Intelligence, told me. Then, as “families worked through their stockpiles, sales fell a lot. This oscillation made planning for production extremely difficult. It was complicated to get an idea of the actual market size.” Meanwhile, Stone’s research has found that an uptick in births in early 2022 has corresponded with a “very dramatic decline in rates of breastfeeding” among new mothers, which pushed up demand for formula once again. Third, Finally, the third factor: America’s regulatory and trade policy. And while that might not sound as interesting to most people as bacteria and viruses, it might be the most important part of the story. FDA regulation of formula is so stringent that most of the stuff that comes out of Europe is illegal to buy here due to technicalities like labeling requirements. Nevertheless, one study found that many European formulas meet the FDA nutritional guidelines—and, in some ways, might even be better than American formula, because the European Union bans certain sugars, such as corn syrup, and requires formulas to have a higher share of lactose. Some parents who don’t care about the FDA’s imprimatur try to circumvent regulations by ordering formula from Europe through third-party vendors. But U.S. customs agents have been known to seize shipments at the border. U.S. policy also restricts the importation of formula that does meet FDA requirements. At high volumes, the tax on formula imports can exceed 17 percent. And under President Donald Trump, the U.S. entered into a new North American trade agreement that actively discourages formula imports from our largest trading partner, Canada. America’s formula policy warps the industry in one more way. The Department of Agriculture has a special group called WIC—short for Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children—that provides a variety of services to pregnant and breastfeeding women and their young children. It is also the largest purchaser of infant formula in the United States, awarding contracts to a small number of approved formula companies.  As a result, the U.S. baby formula industry is minuscule, by design. A 2011 analysis by USDA reported that three companies accounted for practically all U.S. formula sales: Abbott, Mead Johnson, and Gerber. And finally, the Biden administration sent tons and tons of baby formula to the boarders and third world countries. My point to this long winded overview of the baby formula, is once again BIDENDOES NOT PUT AMERICA FIRST, AND NEVER WILL.

We Don’t Understand The Dramatic Rise In Fuel Costs – Biden said yesterday IT IS NOT HIS FAULT that the cost of fuel is so high. Like he said, ‘come on’ it is Russia’s fault, and the war in Ukraine. And IT IS NOT HIS FAULT the price at the grocery store is sky high, and in some areas shelves are bare for certain items. And he even went so far as to say ‘What did the MAGA group do, nothing, they let people wait in line for boxes of food’. WHAT THE HELL, he is so loosing it OMG. Once again NOTHING IS HIS FAULT.

I don’t Understand The Lack Of Response From Republican Leaders – I am lost on this one. I can’t understand why the Republican Party leadership is not out in front of every camera or mic they can be, and calling Biden out on this crap. If this were Trump, every Democrat out there would be in front of a camera telling everyone what a horrible President he is. I wish the Republican leadership would put the Democrats / Socialists on the defensive for a change, and make them respond to their BS. I realize that the legacy media will not give Republicans 10 seconds, and if they do, they will do a one hour special on how wrong they were.

You know, when you think about it, when someone walks into a store, if you are left, right, or questioning which you are, the money is still the same. I go to Aldi’s, and those who to to Whole Foods, should be pissed at the Biden administration. I wonder if the Republican’s started calling BIDEN and his house of joker’s out, and then give solutions to how to MAKE AMERICA FIRST, you might even win over some of those Democrats that are tired of paying for more and getting less.

We will see what next week brings, hopefully Republican leadership starts throwing it back at the BIDEN administration.

We are Blessed with today, and tomorrow is a new day.

Happy Mothers Day to all of the mothers and grand mothers who give so much to us. This is a day we can say thank you and we love you for all you do for us and show us. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.

Shorts for the week: Pelosi vs Newsome, Heck that sounds like a fight card. It would be funny as hell to see them go at it, Mr. Melba Toast Newsom vs Dentures Flyout Pelosi. Pretty funny if it wasn’t so sad to see these two fighting over whether the Democratic party has been soft on abortion or not, OMG OMG, really.

Protests at Supreme Court Justices Homes and Church’s: As I stated earlier I will not get into the debate of the Roe v Wade at all. However I feel that portions of the people and Democratic party are using this to draw attention away from the real issues of the Biden administration failures.

Stock Market Major Hit: This week was horrible for the market, and to be honest, I am suprisedd it has not happened sooner with all the issues the Biden administration has created. So at what point do we, you, me and everyone else that has a 401K, or really for that matter any investment say WTF. I don’t know maybe we are, but those in power now do give a crap what we have to say, and as Pelosi said, we are just perceiving this all wrong, she has data that says things are great, what a joke. As I said they live in a completely different world than we do.

Well we will see what this new week brings.

Today was a Blessing and Tomorrow is a New Day.

What a start to the week. First, we hear that we are going to have a Disinformation Board run by DHS. Second the leaked Supreme Court draft on Roe v Wade. If you can bear with me I want to look at each of these and give my thoughts.

Disinformation Board – This is a complete and utter joke, OMG. This is being run by DHS, with Alejandro Mayorkas has head. I have said other times, this guy is a utter moron to the highest level. Now he is going to put in charge Nina Jankowicz in charge of this, and she is the biggest liar and scammer there is. She is the one who said the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, among so many others. So now Mayorkas put this person in chanrge and she wouldn’t know the truth if it hit her in the face. I once heard a congressman say, “the truth is what I say it is”, well this is what she will live up too. I think this is going to be used by the Democratic / Socialists as a political tool / weapon for the up coming elections. Me I would not believe anything that comes out of this board.

Supreme Court Draft – This is a coordinated attack on the Supreme Court, and the Republican Party. This stunt was done for several reasons. First it takes the attention off of the Biden administrations total and complete failures, which include, but not limited to, fuel prices, INFLATION, food prices, INFLATION, interest rates, INFLATION, foreign policy clusters, INFLATION. Second, and most important, it gives the Dems / Socialists a chance to demonize the Republicans and anyone who support Republicans. They know that the mid-terms are not looking good at this point so they need to do something to try and get their base back onboard with them, as some were leaning away from them due to ALL the screw up that Biden has caused. As a note I heard our governor Pritzker even say that Republicans are going to take rights away from women, and they must be fought and he will fight like hell for them, (typical fat boy statement).

Just a personal observation, this happened right after the newest LIBERAL judge, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, joined the court. It could just be a timing thing, or a planned job, once again to damage the Republicans at the mid-terms, just saying.

If these two developments are any preview to the next several months, it will be scary what the Dems will do next. And as a finial note, I see COVID is starting to show up more and more on the legacy media, could there be mask mandates or even worse, lock downs coming, you just never know they will pull.

Today is a Blessing, and tomorrow is a new day.

Happy May Day to all. May Day is a European festival of ancient origins marking the beginning of summer, usually celebrated on 1 May, around halfway between the spring equinox and summer solstice. So with that said, I am saying MAYDAY, MAYDAY. This MAYDAY is not to mark the beginning of summer but a call for help.

This week Nancy Pelosi gave her weekly speech and stated that the inflation and the raising prices for everything is being misperceived by the public. In fact she has a lot of data and statistics that really the economy is really doing good, and people just don’t understand how things work. First I would like to ask what universe is she living in, and second do you get the tone of her, i.e., you normal people are just to stupid to understand things, so I have to tell you that it is really good and you just don’t understand that. And the universe she lives in is Washington DC where people like her have no idea what it cost to go from one day to the next. Now I see her and Adam Shifty Siff went to the Ukraine. I just wonder if she told them that they are misperceiving the war, and really things are going just swell for them and it is all ok.

Then we have DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, this goof ball should give you a ton of confidence in the boarders be controlled. This man is so far out of his league it is beyond words, he has no clue of what is going on, none.

I suppose you might be saying, OK your point? My point is how important these mid term elections are. If the Republicans can take control then hopefully at least one of these people can fade into the sunset, and she can stay at home and bug the crap out of her husband.

As these elections get closer, you can bet that the gloves will come off, and the democratic / socialists will do all they can to demonize ALL republicans and they will lie out there teeth and create false stories about them, gee that has never been done before.

Please all go and support your candidate, vote local, state, and national.

Next post we will talk about good old Hunter and his dad.

Today was a Blessing and tomorrow is a new day.

Well once again the week has provided a lot of interesting news and thoughts.

BLM Mansion – Well the BLM co-founder is slamming the slamming charity transparency, well hell I wonder why. I mean after all don’t you think that you should be able to take donated money and government money given to the non profit you co-founded should be used for a $6 MILLION dollar mansion. I am sure she will justify this in some BS speech or comment. That said once again it is an example of we can do anything we want and the rest of you can kiss our ass. RULES do NOT apply to us, only you, just ask us. The really sad part is it gives the BLM movement a really bad name, and puts their creditability in real question.

Inflation and Joe Biden – Well as no surprise to any of us who live in the real world, that inflation has hit a 40 year high. What is such a joke, is Biden is still trying to hang all of his failures with the economy, and energy on Putin and his war. And the sick part about it is the mainstream press just helps with his story. Oh but a side note, only 33% approve of his job, the lowest since he took office, should tell you something.

I know this sounds like I am just reposting what I had written before, however this is new daily news. So, what does this tell you? To me it tells me that the man in the White House is incapable of thinking on his own, and flat ass can’t do his job. But that is the way the Democrats / Socialists want it. Behind closed doors, they are the ones making policy, and then they wite it on clue cards and give them to Biden, and he gets in front of the camera and reads them, then walks off to take another nap. The Democrats / Socialists / Progressives are doing everything they can to reshape our society and country into their vision. They want to change how children are taught / educated, actually they are doing that now. How society should think about sex, equality, and the big one, class division, as they put it. You should not be rewarded to achievement, but everyone should be the same, except those in power.

I am hoping that the Mid-Terms will be the beginning of the path to change, and that 2024, will continue at the highest level.

Toady was a Blessing and Tomorrow is a New Day

April Fools:

Wow what a week a truly good jokes, I mean after all it is April Fools and time for pranks.

Prank 1: Biden Administration touting the jobs report, as if it was all his doing, OMG, OMG, HE added 430,00 jobs, how in the hell can HE add jobs, unless you count the government jobs he created.

Prank 2: Biden Administration saying that jobs are paying more than they were before he took off, HOWEVER, this might be true in some cases, BUT AS ALWAYS, he forgets inflation and IF you happen to be getting more in your paycheck, it is eaten up at the store or gas station.

Prank 3: Biden blaming Putin for the high gas prices, cause he invaded Ukraine. once again, HE FORGETS that he killed our energy police and plans on his first day in office. I admit that was over a year ago, and he can’t seen to remember shit for more than 30 seconds so, I guess he forgot. Oh wait, he is catering to the Socialists Green Energy side of his White House / Administration.

Prank 4: Biden’s Hunter mess. Of course you remember that ALLLLLL of the mainstream media said there was nothing to it, i.e., ‘nothing to see here’, and this is ALLLLL Trumps fault, just trying to seal the election. Well heck, look at it now, even the mainstream media are starting to ‘acknowledge’ that there is something to it.

Prank 5: Biden stating in his little speech, that “we”, you know you and me the American public, will be fine, and he has our back. What he has is a knife in our back, and a crooked smile on his face. He is telling us we are so stupid, and we can’t see his Administration is the most crooked in History, and is getting worse.

Prank 6: Biden talking about the protection of Transgender, and it being OK to have people, OTHER THAN THE PARENTS talk about sex and what you feel and if you are a boy or a girl, to 5 year olds. This is just so far off base and so wrong in so many ways, I can’t even begin to describe it. Other than this is an attempt by the far left to take control of how are children are educated out of the hands of the parents, and in the hands of the Socialists.

Reality Check 1: The House and Senate need to be taken back so that there is a chance things can be changed / corrected / resolved before it is too late. I believe this Mid-Term will be the most important election in modern times. PLEAES, PLEASE get out and vote. PLEASE PLEASE stay informed, listen to what is being said, and look at your own life and economic status, and ask yourself are you better off now, do you feel better about the government and the direction the country is going, than you did 2 years ago.

Well we will see what the second week in April brings, more pranks?

Today was a Blessing, and Tomorrow is a new day!
