The consumer price index rose 7.5% from last year and inflation has skyrocketed. President Biden will do all he can to get inflation down, but by all indications this appears to be a false statement. If he wants to fix the problem then he must rescind his executive order closing down the XL pipeline, along with other pipelines, so that we can get more oil from all our sources. Also Prudow Bay needs to be reopened for petroleum extraction, followed by building pipelines and refineries so we can become oil-independent again. Nex, allow fracking again and let us get natural gas up and running. Finally, open all pipelines which this administration closed. Energy independence was once in full swing just two short years ago, and now’s the time to return to its proven production rate.

Inflation was caused by printing and dumping cash into the economy while not raising interest rates. My own personal approach is to pay off the national debt. Because if you continually borrow and don’t raise interest rates you will have the ability to stop inflation. When you print money and don’t raise interest then it’s basically worthless money with nothing shoring up our monetary system. If I were President of the United States I would pay off the national debt and pay off all school loans to help our graduating students start getting the jobs they trained and studied for in college, start a family, buy a new house, new car and start and having children, raising them to love this country and the people of the world with no bias. With money problems, jobs are tight, products cost much more, and people are swayed into hating other people through jealousy and outright arm-twisting. Joe, fix the economy now.

As the 2022 elections come closer five Democratic-controlled states, who have been harshly maintaining the mask mandates for almost two years, have announced changes and are relaxing their guidelines. The five states are New York, Oregon, New Jersey, California and Illinois. The Democratic Party is being in deep trouble for the 2022 elections. Even President Biden and his administration is being hit the hardest with the newest aggregation of all of the main polling organizations placing President Biden’s approval under 40% for the first time, at 38.3%. When your overall job rating is below 40% with the benefit of partisan media, you know you are in trouble. Now keep in mind Donald Trump had roughly the same numbers as Biden, but in his case the media was nearly 100% against his agenda, so the skewing of the polls is significant. The aggregate tends to be biased by about 30% favorable for Joe Biden (or Democrats), and 25% unfavorable for Donald Trump (or Republicans), so doing the math one finds almost a 50% differential in the true polling of both presidents at the time of their first year in office.

President Biden isn’t failing with just the mask mandates and vaccine passports. Remember, his administration performed the worst combat operations withdrawal in American history. Right now, there are estimates of nine thousand US citizens, as well as authorized Afghan nationals who have a right to return to America. We should be prioritizing EVERY ASSET to this end, but it looks as if Biden and the Democrats are playing political games to try to win the 2022 midterm election. President Trump knew how to deal with the Taliban as well as express his desire for Afghan citizens to pursue democratic reforms for their own citizens. While both President Trump and President Biden did not serve in the armed forces, at least Donald Trump and his military advisers had a smart, vigorous withdrawal plan in place that had been on track for a verifiably secure withdrawal from the region. In short, Trump had negotiated the entire withdrawal with both the Taliban and Afghan government leaders, but President Biden came in and basically let the Taliban take over the country, chasing out or executing many of the remaining government officials as well as allowing 13 precious US servicemen and women to die in a horrific terrorist attack. I could write a book on Afghanistan but for now I’ll leave you knowing that President Biden didn’t understand the people or the importance of Afghanistan. Yes, Donald Trump did make a few mistakes, notably pussyfooting too much with the Taliban for his entire term, but he would never have put the fate of a country into a group that has nothing but bad intentions for the people of the region.

A Ukraine reporter says that Russia underestimates the Ukraine resolve to protect their homeland. Russia is close to being full strength to invade by about 30%, as they have what appears to be 140,000 troops, while vehicles seem to be amassing at key attack points near the border of the two countries. Some say with this buildup a Russian-instigated attack is imminent the only question remaining is the timing of the event. One question now looms: if the United States were to give Ukraine the soldiers by releasing the approximately 80,000 United States troops in Europe mostly housed in Germany but it wouldn’t take long if President Biden would give another 50,000 troops and bring in tanks and warthogs into the arena it would be easy to hold off Russia and with 4 aircraft carriers into the arena.

However, one can argue the tactical methods all day long, but the real question is this: How serious is President Vladimir Putin with regard to attacking Ukraine? While leaders make overt gestures in one direction when they actually implement the opposite, I don’t really see President Putin sending up the red balloon on this one. There is too much world pressure against the war, and the United States would probably not end up entering the fray on the simple basis that there is no diplomatic victory for them, no matter which side they promoted. Indeed many Americans can’t even define the problem that exists between Russia and Ukraine, and even Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has been adamant that an attack is not on his radar screen.

To be honest, the best way such an attack can be averted is to show Ukrainian president Zelensky and Russian president Putin arrange a quick summit where both can simultaneously declare that no war is imminent, and that Russian troops are only engaged in war games, the same war games that they’ve been undergoing since they were part of the Soviet Union. But perhaps the biggest indication that war may not be imminent is the fact that taverns on the border are routinely patronized by military members of both countries. If an invasion is most likely to occur, look to the Russians and Ukrainians to ban their troops from patronizing these taverns and restaurants in a possible buildup to war. Call this the Russian/Ukrainian Tavern Metric, if you will.

Another day, another hypocritical politician flaunts the Covid mask rules. During a recent Black History Month event at a local elementary school, Stacey Abrams was shown all over our television screens maskless among a classroom where all the kids sitting around her wore masks. Abrams, who is running for the Governor of Georgia, still hasn’t even acknowledged losing the Governor race back in 2018 to current governor Brian Kemp. When you play politics and run opposite the rules that are in place, it just shows you are not running your campaign on honest morals, and in fact is nothing but a hypocrite.

Now remember: When children are wearing masks and Stacey, the ostensible adult in the house, isn’t wearing a mask, it shows to our children that rules don’t matter for some people while all the others must listen to the leaders who don’t follow the rules. Now that it has been displayed for the entire population of Georgia to witness, undoubtedly it will significantly affect her potential voting base, along with that of her opponent.

Gasoline price rose again at almost all gas stations due to the actions of the executive branch of our government. Here in California, most prices now have skyrocketed over $5.00 a gallon, and in fact the price was over $7.00 at a Mobil station on Wilshire Bl. in Beverly Hills. President Biden wants only electric energy ideas to prosper, but you need some form of gas for rocket ships, aircraft, automobiles, and power plants to provide consistent energy delivery for the United States.

When prices go up at the pump or on the monthly gas and electric bills, who does it hurt the most? The ones who pay a much higher percentage of their take-home pay for it. We are a nation of hope, love, and caring for all our people. Unfortunately, the Biden administration doesn’t seem to care about the poor black, brown, Asian, white, and indigenous people of all nations.

We need all forms of energy: proven sources such as nuclear, gas, and oil, along with innovating other sources that aren’t weather-dependent such as wind and solar. I am hoping that this administration wakes up and realizes that this country’s inflation would be helped if they would change their policies, but that won’t happen until the 2022 midterm elections go to the Republicans. Then if we don’t get a new Democratic president in 2024, we may see the Democratic Party wiped out if the Republicans wake up and get out the heavy hitters to give money for new campaigns.

Covid-19 Delta variant has almost completely run it’s course, now that news agencies have reported that it is down to 1%-3%. The latest variant, Omicron, is running it’s course, to the point that the various vaccines don’t worn against it. While it seems that this variant is more easily to catch and pass, it is much less deadly than the initial Covid-19 outbreak and its subsequent initial variants. In fact, as news reporting has evolved on issues with Covid, the authorities at CDC and even WHO have indicated that the Omicron variant has been most successful at initiating natural immunization, much like those who caught small pox and other SARS-related outbreaks have achieved immunity to those diseases.

Since the beginning of both college and NFL football games were played from the fall of 2021 to this week’s Super Bowl, very few people who went to the stadiums wore masks. In fact, the only states that one saw a mass usage of masks were in California and a couple of other states, and with this year’s premier NFL event held in Los Angeles, it is most likely that California officials will mandate the wearing of masks at all times within the stadium grounds. I assume that producers and their camera crews will be very careful to avoid showing any mask absconders in the stands in order to show the world that Covid is far from over, and in fact may never be over.

This will most probably prove to be a major mistake, however, as governments and around the world are dropping their vaccine and mask mandates like the plague, so to speak. In addition, their is a call from so many students at all levels: elementary, middle, and high school, as well as post-high school institutions. They are chanting and protesting to let the United States get back to normal and drop all Covid mandates. In fact, at this time that with the vast differences of enforcement around the globe, it makes no sense to have it, and instead advise the unvaccinated or those with susceptible health issues to take their own precautions with regard to taking any vaccine protocol or wearing a mask.

Finally some good news for President Biden as his job gains for January came in at a little over 476,000 new jobs were added. The White house was expecting a lot fewer jobs so this is great news for the Democratic party and the United States.

Jeff Zucker is stepping down immediately due to a consensual relationship as President of CNN.

Mark Zuckerberg could lose over 30 billion dollars as shares of Meta shares tanked this week.

Finally, Ji Jinping made the statement that Russia has the right to halt the NATO expansion during the Show today at the Olympics.

The Pentagon thinks that President Putin has drawn up plans to make what is called a “False Flag.” In this scenario, they they think that Putin would place fake bodies of Russian troops who were supposed to have been killed by Ukraine. That is so stupid and a comedy to think Putin needs that kind of nonsense to start a war I can’t keep from laughing.

It’s actually an insult to President Putin who, if he sees this report, would say the Americans are crazy. Those troops and Russian armor are no joke and after 130,000  troops being sent close to Ukraine need a ruse, you must be eating magic mushrooms. No wonder our military left Afghanistan. We don’t have leaders but morons in our military leaders and the White House.

Invite Ukraine to join NATO and sign the paper February 4, when President Putin is at the Olympics with Ji Jinping and send a warning that America won’t let Ukraine fight alone and we better have 4 Aircraft Carrier groups in close proximity to lay waste to Russian assets. Though this scenario would play out to help Ukraine, I doubt that Putin will be off the grid as he sits in the leaders’ spectator section at the Olympics. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail, and the Russians and Ukrainians can keep drinking at the border taverns together as they have been doing for decades.

President Biden sent in a few thousand more troops into Eastern Europe, but then assures the world he isn’t going to send troops into Ukraine so as to temper the thoughts of President Putin. I wonder what he will surrender as part of the deal to prevent the Russians from advancing into Ukraine. After President Biden ran and left all those Afghanistan woman vulnerable to rape, beatings, and murder for helping their country.

Notch another bad day for police officers after they buried one of their own. The individual who shot the officer during a traffic stop, who had fled to Mexico, was caught and extradited back to the United States, where he is going to face justice. With President Biden’s executative order preventing the southern border to remain  closed, contrary to that of former President Trump who was building the wall. If President Trump had been sworn in January 20, 2021 that officer would be alive today, as so many people have been killed, raped, robbed, murdered due to the rampant admittance of illegal aliens into the United States. President Biden has so much blood on his hands, and with the debacle of Afghanistan, how can our President even sleep at night? What a difference when we select Presidents.

And as a Democrat, I am very saddened. When President Biden started his term, it was with the knowledge that 0ver 80 million American voted for him. The disappointment of a failed Administration will always gnaw at my heart, knowing that we have had the answers all along, but refuse to follow through.

With the Olympics about to begin in Beijing, with its Winter edition returning to the Chinese capital after hosting the Summer Olympics 14 years ago, the Chinese government has forced their citizens to stay indoors in areas close to the Olympic participation area. To understand the current government of China is to first understand communism. Their government is called communist party. They nominate their president and in the party they don’t let the rest of China to have free elections. They own everything, and they award different people to run and organize businesses. The Communist party runs everything. You will see some of the anchors on Fox News call for boycotting but I think everyone in America should watch as much as possible the Olympics. At that time you will be able to form your own opinion, and remember we are free. If you see any anchors on Fox News or any news agency recommend boycotting the Olympics, that is your right, but no one who tells me to boycott is their opinion. I will watch because I want to see how communism actually works and see if they support their teams. I want to support our athletes and I want to beat the Chinese who have 5 times more citizens, and lets see the best of the best is my idea of freedom.

At his massive rally in Conroe, Texas, former President Donald Trump said that we should send troops to the southern border before sending them to Ukraine. Russian President Putin, not known for saying things of importance that turn out to be false, made a very assertive statement that he isn’t planning to invade Ukraine with Russian troops. What he wants to do is to make sure Europe and the United States doesn’t admit Ukraine into the NATO alliance, since having a massive troop buildup on the border of Russia would make it easier for Russia to be attacked without the ability to properly defend itself without threatening the use of unconventional weapons (nuclear). In fact, when Trump was president he made sure that European countries added their fair share to the defense of Europe through the NATO treaty, and didn’t expand its reach past Poland, as he had a better understanding with President Putin than Biden and the European leaders have had since January 2021.
