Taking Inventory…at Home and Abroad

This piece will be short on commentary and long on content.  There are lots of things going on in the world around us and the best way to try and understand them is to observe from different angles.  Hope this helps that process along.

 

It is really that simple: Minneapolis and Minnesota choose chaos.

With so many decent, competent, and intelligent people in the Trump Administration, why do they continue to put people like this in front of the cameras?

THIS is the man who should be the face of ICE.

Why do you think the mainstream media outlets are closing up shop and losing what small amount of credibility they still possess?

Immigration Reform will remain a hot topic into the midterm elections…as it should…and it is hard to see how the Democrats can use it to their advantage.

Even “The One” could understand the simple logic of enforcing our immigration laws.  Isn’t it hilarious how politicians always seem to forget that EVERYTHING is on video somewhere?

The Democrat Party “seems” to be slipping back into Woke.  If Trump’s economy…yes, it is undeniably Trump’s economy…continues to improve as it appears it will; the Republicans might just shock a few people come November.

Do the Democrats really want to revisit issues such as this?

Most people understand common sense and fairness when it comes to election integrity.

And as evidenced by the previously-linked articles on the lunacy in Minnesota under Governor Walz and Mayor Frey… …and in Virginia under Governor Spanberger…and by the projected census figures where people are voting with their feet…and as linked below in California under Governor Newsom…and below in New York City under Mayor Mamdani…Democrat Party liberal/progressive policies are incredibly stupid, unsustainable, irresponsible, and ultimately…clearly destructive to our people and our nation.  When voters simply stop and think seriously about it, these truths are self evident.

If President Trump will simply talk less and let his actions speak for him, his foreign policy…and his domestic policy…record will be a tremendous asset for him politically.  He consistently mitigates the benefit of his good policy with his childish, hyperbolic, arrogant rhetoric.

Fundamental, rational, achievable gun control measures are so very difficult to obtain.  The gap between the two extreme positions on the matter is so wide…and it seems to be growing every day.

And if we are going to take inventory…why not inventory some tunes…

 

I never get tired of hearing this man’s music:

Heaven knows this gal can be loopy sometimes, but man…she sure can sing:

My favorite TP and the HBs song…so good:

Great, great tune by one of the best…give this one a chance and it will get in your head:

No need to say anything about this lady…she speaks for herself:

Authentic musicians singing real songs about real people will always be worth listening to:
