Mark's Thoughts

My post today is just a bunch of thoughts and comments I have running through my getting old mind.

Supreme Court and Ketanji Brown Jackson:

Oh my goodness, what a show. Cory Booker was just fawning over her and was just way to sick. And the Dick Durbin putting on his little show of try to shut up Ted Cruz was just unreal. It could have not been a better show of how the liberal Democrats are so one sided and give Ketanji questions that amounted to what flavor of ice cream do you like, and of course they didn’t like it when people like Ted Cruz asked tough questions. Mind you that when President Trumps two nominees had anal inspections, and false stories released, and accused of everything under the sky, but that was ok. This my friends is the beginning of the liberals to pack the court to change the way of life in the US as we know it. The one thing that Ketanji said that was very disturbing to me was she thought the Constitution was supposed to be a ‘living document’. She thinks it should change as our society evolves. That statement couldn’t be further from the truth. She also believes that criminal sentences should also evolve as well, look at her record on sexual predators. I hope I am wrong on this, but don’t think so.

High Fuel Prices:

This one really gets me. the ONLY reason the fuel prices are as high as they are is BIDEN ADMINISTRATION polices, end of statement. Now I see Biden is trying to float the balloon that he is going to send checks to people who own cars, unknown amount, to help with the cost of fuel. OMG he does not get it at all, nor does he want to. This is the liberals plan, unfolding right before our eyes. EVERYTHING is being effected by the cost of fuel, but heck, maybe I will get a check to help with the cost of food, OMG I better shut up, that will be next.

Putin’s War:

Well it is not going as planned for him, and what is kinda neat is his OWN people don’t approve of it, we will have to see how this plays out. The people of Ukraine have more to them than what he thought. And at the risk of being demonized, which I am sure I will be, I am tired of hearing that the increase in fuel prices, for that matter everything, is due to the war in Ukraine, and we should be happy to pay that money, and NOT have to deal with what the Ukraine’s are. Please don’t misunderstand what I am saying, my thoughts and prayers go out to them, but stop using this as the excuse, and ignoring the real reason, the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

Spirit of Peoria:

Last comment is on the loss of the Spirit of Peoria riverboat. I can agree with all that this is a shame that it is leaving. I am sure that with the COVID mess over the past two years, did not help the economic status of the boat at all. I am sure that the owner was tired of pouring money into it, and the prospect of getting it back was very sketchy at best. I am glad that the city voted NOT to purchase the boat, Peoria has no business in being in the boat business, and with the lack of ANYTHING at the river front anymore, other than a green space, it would have been a loosing undertaking.

Well we will see what next week brings.

Today was a Blessing, and Tomorrow is a New Day.

We feel your pain, is the message that the Administration is putting out about inflation and high fuel prices, ya right. On the Sunday morning talk show ‘This Week’ – Former Democrat senator from North Dakota, Heidi Heitkamp said that the American public just got USED to $2.00 a gallon fuel, and low inflation, it is not Joe Biden fault. OK well, I understand why she is FORMER, and she should be, and if you read between her lines, she is saying it is OUR fault that fuel is at record highs, and inflation off the charts, so stop complaining.

This attitude seems to be coming out of the Democrats / Socialists more and more. It is not OUR fault or the Administrations fault that this is happened, and remember Biden said, ‘We are going to be OK’, right there you should know we are not. I am having a hard time finding anyone out in Washington that you can believe, and is really for the American working man. You know I saw one on Facebook the other day, ‘Instead of Building Back America Better, How about you leave it the way you found it’, pretty good words, but pretty sure they won’t.

Another thought of the high fuel prices is the Biden is going to cater to the Left Green, and keep polices and actions in place that will keep fuel prices high in an attempt to force the public into buying electric vehicles. How I know you might think I am over the edge on conspiracy theories, but just about anything is possible with these people.

High fuel prices, a type of lock down or restriction to movement? Well with COVID pretty much out of the picture, at least that is what we are being told by this administration, then this might be a sideways attempt to control how we move about and what do or don’t do.

I know I must sound off the rails, and have read to many conspiracy theory stories, but I was just thinking, and the level of trust I have in the Administration, and in Washington for that matter can you you think that way.

Anyway, the weather was great today, and looking forward to the nicer weather.

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

Joe Biden and the Biden Administration total screw ups:

I watched and listened to the news, yes both the mainstream and Fox, even NPR. I have listened to our local radio hosts early in the morning, and then in the afternoon, and I still am amazed at how one man, Joe Biden, and his clown show of an administration could screw the American public like he has, and then have the Gaul, in his SOTU speak to say, ‘We will be ok’.

The pain we Americans, who are not in politics, and live, ‘normal lives’, are feeling is real and the blame can only be placed squarely on Joe Biden and his administration, and the socialists Left that he caters to. From day one of his Presidency he done done everything he can to cater to the socialists, and tear down the American way of life.

Anyone that is associated with his administration, or anyone in government for that fact, that says we feel your pain, and we understand, is just so full OF BS, or worse so full of themselves to even be in the real world.

We all know that anyone in the administration, especially in the White House or on the Hill, does not live in our world. They do not go fill their gas tank. Nor do they go to the store and by food. Nor do they pay for their recreation, like we, so they have NO FRACKING IDEA, nor do they care either.

What really stuns me the most is, no matter whether it is Biden or Harris, or any of the administration speaking, Psaki, it nothing but words, and BS, and basically telling us we understand, but deal with it.

Biden and his clown show said, ‘All options are on the table’ to help relive fuel prices, and slow inflation. Then today via the White House mouth piece Psaki, ‘The White House said it has “no plans” to restart construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, despite saying that all options were on the table in addressing the record-high gas prices as Russia’s war against Ukraine rages on, so I guess that means not all options are on the table, only those that serve the Democratic / Socialists agenda.

In Biden’s SOTU address, he said, ‘We will build back America Better’. What we should have said is “We Socialists are going to build a New America in our image’.

Biden, I believe will go down in history as a President that did more damage to this country and in some respects the world, than the past Presidents combined.

I would call your Senator or Congressman, but they are all in the same cesspool, BOTH, BOTH, sides of the isle, so I doubt you will get much response, just a WHOLE bunch of words that say nothing.

We shall see what happens this week.

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

Just one subject today, the SOTU address delivered last night. While listening I decided to take notes, yes I know I need to get a life, with that said, I found I could not write fast enough.

Biden’s claims were so self-serving, it was nothing more than a campaign speech.

The only two parts that were true and on the mark, support for Ukraine, and support of the police, everything else was a joke.

If you listen to him, HE defeated COVID, by providing vaccines, and lifting the mask mandate. HE is going to make sure that prevented medicine for COVID will be available, soon, which was always there, but HE didn’t use them.

HE feels our pain with inflation. The heck HE does, HE does not open his wallet at the pump or in the store, hell I bet they don’t even let him drive anymore. He is going to combat inflation by forcing price reductions, and of course he targeted drug companies. Now I will agree, prices for life sustaining drugs, like insulin, are stupid high, which they should not be, especially when the government is giving away free needles and drug to addicts, and nothing for the people who need life sustaining medication. What HE should have said was I am going to start the Keystone pipeline and Dakota pipelines again so the WE do not have to rely on oil from other countries, but HE did. HE just said HE wants to reduce the cost of electrical vehicles, and put major infrastructure in place for that. Once again something that is years in the making, but nothing to help us now, and besides, the Democratic / Socialists DO NOT want us driving non electric vehicles, reduce our carbon foot print, so this is their way of forcing us to do that, THEY want fuel for both our cars and homes sky high, to force us to change, they DO NOT want us to have low fuel costs.

HE has created more jobs than any President ever. Well people he can’t create jobs, the private sector does that, the economy does that. The only jobs HE can create is when HE increases government, that is it.

HE said that Intel is going to build a huge factory to produce chips so that we won’t have to rely on outside countries for that. Great idea, however, they have not turned on shovel of dirt to begin this wonderful plant, so my guess is at least 3 to 5 years BEFORE the impact of this development will impact the shortage. And for those jobs he said it will bring, and $130,000 per year, well if those thousands of jobs are at $130,000 per year are true, which we know it is not, then the companies that need those chips, could never afford them.

I could go on and on about last night, how Pelosi and Schumer looked like they were on springs bouncing up and down, in fact Chuch jumped up at the wrong time, everyone else was still seated. Harris looked liked she was trying not to do her famous hyena laugh, or sitting there with a grimness on her face like she had a bad case on hemorrhoids.

Bottom line is, to me HE show cased his administrations failures, at every turn. From the economy, to inflation, to COVID.

This administration does NOT want people in this country who can think for themselves, make their own destiny, and take accountability for their life. As it was stated once, by Hillary, we are a bunch of deplorable people, THAT is what this administration thinks of us.

We will how all of his speech plays out over the next few weeks.

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

First I want ua all to say prayers for the people of Ukraine. Putin is doing all he can to try and restore Russia to the OLD USSR. Putin was in the KGB during that time, and as we know did not like it when the USSR fell, he lost his status and power. Now he has a bad case of little man syndrome, he is only 5’5”, and he knows we have a marshmallow for a President, so he figured now is the time.

I know you all have heard this all, and are seeing it on TV, so I am not telling you anything new. I guess maybe two things, one, the people of Ukraine are not a push over like he thought they might have been, but second, which I thought was pretty cool, is demonstrations in his own country, against what he is doing. Kinda neat, however those people I am sure will not be heard from again after they are arrested, but gee, inside his own country they don’t approve of this.

Biden and his continued, completely useless administration:

Biden has a plan to decrease our dependence on FORIEGN oil, more green / renewable energy. Are you kidding me, nope the first day he was in office he killed the Keystone pipeline, and shortly after that the Dakota pipeline, putting thousands out of work. I remember when he was on the campaign trail, he said HE will make hundreds of thousands $50.00 per hour green energy jobs for those people affected by the pipelines. Well we know that never happened, and fuel where I live is getting real close to $4.00 per gallon, and I know in places around the country it is much higher than that. But does Biden care, nope. Does anyone in the Administration care, nope. NO ONE in the Biden Administration care how the everyday person is impacted buy his lack of leadership, his appeasing of the far left, his cowardice in front of China, and Russia, it is unreal.

These midterm elections are going to be so important. HOPEFULLY, Republicans can gain seats and gain control of the House and Senate. At least then Republicans can try to keep in check this Administrations stupid, far left Socialists agenda. We ALL need to take heed, and VOTE. If your elected governmental official, at any level, City, State, or Federal, does not support what you believe and stand for, VOTE them out of office. Politicians at any level have forgotten WE the PEOPLE, voted you in office, and you work for US, not the other way around. We the people need to take back the government, which in turn will take back the country.

I believe that there is an under current of this happening now. I know you have a lot of people talking and saying this, now you are starting to see, for example, the Truckers Convoy heading for DC. We might see more of this type of happening, as our freedom and right to determine our own destiny is challenged or ‘locked down’.

Well now with this latest emergency, i.e., Ukraine, which is affecting prices everywhere for everything, according to the Dems / Socialists. Actually we all know it started it started the day Biden was sworn into office, but the Dems / Socialists will never let a good crisis to go waste, pretty much like they did with COVID. I am waiting with baited breath to see what they do / try to do that will impact our daily lives. Pretty soon everyone will have to ride ebikes or a horse to go anywhere, oh but wait, horses pass gas, which would impact the greenhouse effect and global warming, or it is cows, I can’t remember. But stay tuned, I am sure they will pull some kind of crap.

Once again pray for a support Ukraine.

We are blessed with today, and tomorrow is new day.

Well I guess mask mandates are beginning to be lifted around the country. Some states like Florida are lifting right now. Most all of the places I went into had masks optional, only Disney was requiring masks. The only reason I knew this, it was posted everywhere and on the local news. Inflation is out of control. You know I heard the White House say, wages are up 5%, which is the most in several years, which I agree with. Heck I got a 5% raise this year, which is the most I have gotten in several years. This would have been great, except inflation is running 7.25%, which, even with my math skills, means I am 1.25% in the fracking whole.

Of course I am not telling you anything, anyone out there knows they are going backwards, not gaining any ground, and all the Democrats do is give lips service to us. Heck you even have AOC telling us that Texas is going to go blue, and she will unionize the heck out of the state and it will be a blue blue state. At first I thought no way, you realize you are talking about Texas right?, the land of the good old boys and pickup trucks with guns in the back window. Then it hit me, first you have a ton of liberals moving for California to Texas, and then the amount of illegal people entering the state, that should they get voting rights, yes even though they are not citizens, as the Dems/ Socialists want, that sent a chill up my spine, DAMM it could happen. I was just in Florida, and it was pretty normal. People moving about, masks were optional, heck they even had their state fair in full swing, which as a side note, seemed weird to me, state fair in February, well then I was reminded that in the summer, when we have our fair, it would be too hot in Florida, could it happen there as well? I mean they have a lot of people moving there as well. I only hope that both Texas and Florida remain as they are, as it was a breath of fresh ass, no pun intended.

Well mid-terms are coming up soon, and I will make a prediction. COVID, will become less and les talked about, and all of those statistics that are being used now to support masks and lockdowns, will go away and a new set of numbers will be used to support the claims from the Democrats and the White House that COVID has been defeated and they did it, just as Joe said he would. Now you and I both know that is not the case, but the Dems know that if the country is still in any form of lock down or mask mandate or anything restrictive, their party / candidates stand a very, very slim chance of winning. That would also impact the 2024 White House run as well. Side note: I can’t believe Joe is saying he will run again, wow I don’t even have words for that.

More on this in the coming weeks.

Now back from a little break it is back to the normal routine of day to day.

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

Well here we are the first 30 days of the new year gone by. To be honest with you it seems like it has been a lot longer since the new year started. I guess that is because so much has gone on, and, on a national and political level, none of it good. this administration has messed up more in 1 year that it is actually historical. From foreign policy, or lack there of, to showing of just plain resolve on ANYTHING, this administration has let ALL Americans down.

Biden’s whole cabinet is a joke, Kamala Harris – VP, now there is a real prize, her best response to anything was just google it, really from a VP, hence why our boarders are such a mess, I just google didn’t have the right search. Maybe Alexa can help her, I know she does me, gives me the correct weather, and her tone is so nice, unlike Harris, who has the same personality as a hyena.

Antony Blinken – SOS. Ok I want to know where we found him, yes he has some time under Obama and Clinton administrations, in various State Department roles, but I don’t believe he has earned this new role.

I just wanted to set the stage with my opinion of the top 3 people in government. With what is going on over in Ukraine, and Taiwan, it shows the world that the US leadership is weak and indecisive. Biden can’t even get the word of the US policy on Russia and the Ukraine out of his mouth, and when he does, he throws Ukraine under the bus. The google (Harris) has to come along the next day and try to straighten things out. Then we have Blinken trying to sound tough and what the US response will be if Russia crosses the boarder into Ukraine, and he was a piece of milk toast, a real wimp.

You know that Putin and Xi are watching our response or lack there of. Especially Xi is sitting back, eat popcorn and watching what happens when Russia crosses the boarder, cause you know he ia waiting to pounce on Taiwan, cause just as Putin thinks the Ukraine is part of the USSR, Xi, thinks Taiwan is really China’s.

I am worried about the next few days, into weeks, and I only pray that nothing of an international crisis happens.

It is time to take back the House and Senate in 2022, and the White is 2024.

As always, today is a blessing and tomorrow is a new day.

Joe Biden’s speech was nothing more than a beat up on Trump speech.  And right on que CNN stepped right in and held Biden up as a hero, and such an important speech, just read the CNN article ‘The single most important — and powerful — line from Joe Biden’s 1/6 speech’.  And continue to watch and/or read anything from the mainstream media, and it is nothing more than a publicity job against Trump, and ANYONE who supported or stood up for him.  Currently the ‘Committee’ that is looking into the Jan 06,2021 event is wanting to get Sean Hannity’s texts, and anyone else, like Laura Ingraham, among others.  The Democrats and the far left liberal have now started their 2024 anti-Trump campaign.  This campaign will include ANYONE from the Republican Party that would throw their hat into the ring.  The mainstream media, which is actually the voice for the Leftist Democratic Party, and all of the Democratic and Socialists will make sure that tie that person to Trump, even if they have to make something up. The one thing I hope and pray is that Fox News does not get sucked up into the defending the Republican candidate, but instead focuses on the difference and how that person can Make America Great Again.  After all, all Joe and his party and all that power in Washington has done is, make fuel, food, and goods prices go up (inflation) to levels that have not been seen since Jimmy Carter Administration.  Oh yes who was it that took over after Carter, President Regan.

I will continue to point out those hypocrites, Socialists, Leftist-Democrats.  I will continue this for my five grandsons, and for all the kids that will be left with a country in a total mess.  Where accountability, hard work, honesty, and self-achievement will be gone.  Instead, total reliance of BIG government will take care of you from cradle to grave, and you will only get what you are given, nothing more.  And there will only be two classes of people.  Those who rely on the government, and those in government, and the later will have and do anything they wish, and those not in government will have what is given to them.

We shall see how this will all play out over the next 2 years.

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

Happy New Year to all for 2022.

Well we are into the new year, and I am sure everyone has made resolutions we are all going to keep. Yep that is our story, and we are sticking to it. All of that said, I did make some, and I am going to do my level best to follow through on them. So far so good, yes I know we are only 4 days into the New Year, but it is a start.

Good luck to all with your resolutions, be true to yourself, and make 2022 the best you can.

President Trump and 2022

I realize that it is only 2022, and the national election is in 2024. That said, you can already the Democrats, and the main stream media doing all they can to make sure the Trump is in the news, and how bad he is. It was his fault, according to the media, that the January 6th riot took place. Now I hear that they are even going to bring Sean Hannity in on it, as they want to see his text messages and to who he sent them while the riot was going on. Bottom line is the Democrats are so scared that Trump will begin his run for office soon, that they are going to have to paint him worse than the devil himself.

On the subject of the elections, I am hoping that it will be a Republican wave, and we regain control of the House, at least then maybe they can begin to put this Country back on a right track.

Over the next year, I am going to do all I can to post at least once a week. I will look forward to the feedback you offer.

Welcome 2022.

We are Blessed with Today, and Tomorrow is a new day.

Clown Show and Circus:

This would be the Biden Cabinet, or Clown Show. Over the next few postings I am going to be looking at the Biden Cabinet. Believe it or not, there is a method to my madness.

Kamala Harris – Vice President, Supposed to be in charge of what, oh yes the border issues

Antony Blinken – Secretary Of State, Not sure what he is doing, other than running around apologizing for whatever offends any other country, or what was done by the prior administration. The we are sorry tour.

Dr, Janet Yellen – Secretary of the Treasury, wow now this gal is a real fire ball, NOT. I saw her being interviewed the other evening on CNN, and she said that the problems today, inflation, and supply chain issues is caused 100% by the COVID pandemic. Of course she will say that, as they have to keep that out there for the control thing.

Lloyd Austin – Secretary of Defense, This guy scares me, as I don’t think he has a grip on his Joint Chiefs of the Military. He is just a political errand boy the the Biden White house.

VP Harris – wow she has made the position Vice President a laughing stock. She is supposed to be the ‘Border Czar’, to address the issues at our southern border. Well as we ALL know that is not happening, it is only getting worse. Then she goes overseas, and makes a fool out of herself and the US trying to pull off a really, really bad French accent. And then has the stupid laugh.

Blinken, what the heck is he doing? He should be meeting with the heads of state in other countries, instead Harris is doing it and then Kerry, OMG, there is really bad news. He will sell us out in a heart beat.

The whole premise of this administration is to fundamentally change the US or attempt to change us into a socialist country, totally dependent on the government for everything. They want to change your life style to be much lower, and get used to shortages, and higher prices for everything.

They are going to stuff electric vehicles down our throats, whether or not we want them.

The price of fuel is out of control, and Biden asked, or should I say begs OPEC to produce more and they told us what to do with it. This fuel prices you can place on one man and one man only President Joe Biden. He has and continues to shut down pipelines, and wants to do more, and now to ‘ help us’ he might dip into the national fuel reserves. This man is dangerous.

Coming up are the midterms, and the in 2024, the general election. I only hope e can last that long.

Next time, more of the cabinet members.

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