All the Way From “Top Secret” to “Out to Lunch”

I suppose the biggest story making the rounds these days concerns the “improper handling” of classified documents.  It’s pretty clear that at least one ex-President and one current President are guilty of the “handling” part.  The parts that are not clear are probably the most important ones; those being “what” is in the documents and “who else” has been looking at them.  At this point, the only certain thing is that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and its posse are about the only ones looking at them.  Time will (or not…) reveal the mysteries.

 

If you want a good overview of this whole affair, here is a good starting point: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-202-its-complicated/id1396508525?i=1000595806229

The battle for the future…the struggle for the minds of our youth who will mold that future…is fully engaged.  It is taking place in our educational system from “pre-K” all the way through “advanced degrees”.  And if you live in a rural area of America and think that the liberal, woke mania is not present in your school system, you are naïve to the point of senility.

The onset of harsh reality is now settling over the entire climate change/green energy/electric vehicle revolution.    A lot of people, many of them powerful and influential, have been leading the public off a high cliff with the promise of cheap, clean, plentiful energy schemes that exist only in their green-fevered minds.  As the logistical nightmares of windfarms, solar panel fields, and electric transportation come more into focus, many are beginning to come to grips with a more cautious and deliberate approach to the very real and global energy crisis.  It is going to be painful…but it going to work itself out.

This is one of the clearest instances of gross government over-reach I have ever seen and the same battle in being waged in almost every, single, government department/agency today: https://reason.com/video/2023/01/10/the-supreme-court-case-that-could-upend-the-clean-water-act/

 

Government is supposed to be “by the people”.  Far too much of our government today is “after the people”.  Every day brings new revelation of government corruption, abuse, and mismanagement.  Whether they be Democrat Presidents/Administrations or Republican Presidents/Administrations; our elected…and unelected…government officials have been creeping their missions far beyond anything that was ever envisioned in our Constitution.  Congress is going to have to reassert itself as a co-equal branch of government or it runs the very real possibility of becoming either irrelevant or subservient to Executive Branch domination.

 

There are numerous individuals in both national parties today that believe they should be running not only our country, but also our private lives.  They are smart, they are powerful, and they have unlimited resources.  They must be reined in.  This subversion of our system is not confined to any one area.  It touches all aspects of our lives through taxes, privacy, elections…essentially all aspects of our personal liberties.  If we as a people do not stand up and defend these rights, we will lose them.

Fiscal responsibility…What?  In this government?  Democrats are shameless; they spend and spend and want more of your tax dollars to spend some more.  Republicans, when they are in a minority status, bitch and moan about the deficit and the national debt.  But…when they are in the majority status, they spend just like Democrats.  The only difference is that they spend on their priorities.  Government mismanagement is atrocious.  The best argument for a smaller government is the simple fact that they would have less opportunity to mismanage.

Our government has grown so dysfunctional and our politics so corrosive that the type of people we really need to elect are not willing to run for office: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/mitch-daniels-wont-run-for-senate/

 

Our politics, our culture, our media…all of these things are swirling about us like a whirlwind and they are all somehow interconnected.  What does it all mean?  Where does it all lead?
