President "Double Mask" Biden--Ha!

Current Biden Administration Border policies will make Cuomo’s slaughter of nursing home patients seem like a game of touch football!

President “Double Mask” Biden tells us, “For God’s sake, wear a mask!” Then he turns loose an average of 8,000 COVID infected illegals each month to mix freely into the United States population—no COVID test; no quarantine; no masks; presumably not even a normal temperature test! The Biden Oddminstration gives many unscreened illegals a bus ticket to the city of their choice, a cash stipend, and effectively says, “Go into our country and mix with our people.” (Note 1)

President Biden has a lot of nerve telling us to wear masks while unleashing upon us a deadly plague of unknown intensity and breadth! When massive deaths ensue, the President can say, “Tut! Tut! President Biden told you to wear a Mask! It’s all the fault of mask-resisting Republications.”

Maybe the cronies running President Biden have decided to swap “eternal plague” for “eternal war” in their very own 1984 “Take Over” Scenario.

 

(See HR-1 for details.)

 

Note 1: The best average value I have seen.  About 100,000 border crossings have occurred in recent months. Here is a link to two or more sets of positive percentages; I will stick with eight percent:

Can President Trump Possibly Win in November?




If the President continues blithely and complacently running against the current crop of hopeless candidates much longer, Michele Obama will “mop the floor” with him in November. The time for unfocused speeches “preached to the choir” has ended. President Trump must tar President Obama with all his duplicity, failures, and excesses—without mentioning the name of Mrs. Obama. In essence, President Trump must win the election before 13 July 2020, when the Democrat Convention starts.

The democrats will likely nominate Michele Obama on ballot three through six. The move for an Obama Candidacy has become increasingly clear for a couple of months. The Obama Team really “amped up” its campaign during post-debate comments on January 14, 2020. Numerous commentators, as shown on Fox, all seemingly “independently” concluded in unison that, “None of these (Debate) candidates can beat President Trump.” Until the fourteenth, the Obama Team seemed focused on subtly making sure the convention deadlocked.

The early Obama effort took two forms. First, questions as to why numerous “can’t win” candidates entered the race in the first place. It seems clear that some, if not most, entered to dilute the delegate counts of the front runners. Second, many comments such as, “Why hasn’t President Obama endorsed Biden?”—comments designed to make sure that Joe Biden, at first, nor anyone else, later, could win the nomination on an early ballot. You see, for several ballots, many delegates must vote for the candidate who won their seat at the Convention.

The foregoing certainly gives a plausible answer to why Michael Bloomberg would suddenly jump into a race so late—too late to win even if he actually ever had a chance in the first place. Diluting support for the four front runners seems more plausible than a desire to ride in on a green dragon and rescue the Country. Even Bloomberg knows he could never win.

President Trump needs to hammer home that the American Economy took off when he yanked the Obama Boot off its neck. And, that any Democrat President will jam that Obama Boot right back onto “your back”, suffocate the Economy, and decimate jobs. In fact, if “you” got a job after March 2017, chances are good that you will lose that job shortly after any Democrat takes the White House in 2021. More than any other action, deregulation launched the amazing Trump Recovery—a recovery President Obama ridiculed as impossible. President Trump must make that clear; and he must do it now.

Before the Democrat Convention starts on 13 July 2020, President Trump would do well to make the “Obama Boot” a part of the American Political Lexicon. Each voter the President wants to win needs to know that their job hangs in the balance in 2020—ideally, by or before 6 July 2020. After someone puts the name Michele Obama before the Democrat convention, a gushing “media tsunami” will drown out President Trump. The opportunity to run against President Obama will have dried up.

In addition to the foregoing, President Trump obviously needs to hang the myriad other Obama failures on the shoulders of the former President: Obama Care, Israel, Benghazi, Iran Nuclear Deal, Ukraine, Defense Build Down, and on and on for another couple thousand words.

Sub themes on the Economy:
  • Rolling back Obama era regulations gave businesses the confidence to expand, which in turn launched the Trump Recovery
  • President Obama spewed out more job killing regulations than any President in history
  •  “If you got a job after [the President’s] inauguration, you stand to lose it if any Democrat takes the White House—the Democrat way: ‘last hired; first fired’”
  • After telling the American People many times that “the days of three percent growth [are] gone forever” President Obama:
    • Ridiculed President Trump for saying the Economy would grow at or over three percent
    • Suddenly wants to claim credit for the gone-forever-growth that blew through three percent after President Trump took office


Comments welcome

Teachers Deserve a Fighting Chance to Survive a School Shooter


During a February 25, 2018, interview on FoxNews Sunday, Chris Wallace asked Florida Governor Rick Scott about arming teachers. Governor Scott said, in effect, he was willing to sacrifice one to two classrooms full of students rather than allow teachers to carry concealed weapons on campus. Surely the Governor would take great umbrage at that conclusion. Still, what he said was that he wanted “teachers to teach” and law enforcement to handle active shooters—sentiments echoed by various teachers and others in clips preceding the interview as well as news clips across the broadcast media.

History has shown that at some point, a determined attacker can usually defeat a peripheral defense. Given the nature of our government, one can expect determined attackers to find various ways through the perimeters of “hardened schools.” Unless “law enforcement” can instantly identify, locate and confront the threat immediately, it seems likely that at least one room will suffer casualties. In all likelihood, more than one room will come under attack as law enforcement verifies the active shooter reports and moves to where they can effectively engage the perpetrator. Beyond that, we will not rehash the arguments for allowing qualified teachers to voluntarily arm themselves as long as they keep their weapons concealed. Keep in mind that Florida is a “shall issue” state, see below, so many Floridians have concealed carry permits already.

If you are a teacher who “doesn’t want the responsibility to protect children,” please look over the following short exercise:

·       Presumably every teacher has a few memorable great days during their teaching career. Pick out the best of those that comes to mind and replay it in your mind. Then, scroll down to the next step; if you don’t work in education, think of your best moment in school.



              
Move through the experience to that peak moment

Then scroll down or look down



·         “Oh my God! O my God!!!” No!!”

o   You hear the voice of your friend and coffee-break-mate in the next room; rapid gunfire suddenly silences your colleague

o   You immediately report the active shooter, lock both doors, and simultaneously direct your class to perform their well-practiced “Active Shooter: Shelter in Place” procedures

·       Hearing the sound of children running and gunfire now coming from the hallway, you silently hope the shooter picks some other room

·       While trying to comfort and silence a whimpering student, you hear the rattle of the locked door at the far end of your room

·       A gunshot rings out as a bullet flies through the door followed by more rattling

·       A second gunshot sends pieces of the lock flying into the room; a couple of yanks and the door opens outwardly into the hallway

What do you do now?
You have to do something. Pick up scissors and a yardstick? Hide under the desk? Wait quietly? If you have a concealed carry permit and a handgun, the firearm sits at home—safely locked in a strong safe. Of course, if that 9 mm was concealed on your hip, you would have additional options. Certainly, absent a video feed, firing at the rattling door alone seems out of order. Once the shooter fires through the door, you know you can safely return fire. Immediately sending three or four shots back through the door seems like a good choice. Less desirably, you can wait for the shooter to burst into the room. Unarmed, you have no good choices. Armed, you at least “have a fighting chance.”
 So, you may not want the responsibility of protecting students; but, I hope you at least want to protect yourself. If the Florida PE Teacher who bravely stood between his students and the shooter had carried a 9 mm automatic, he and many of the murdered students might today be discussing their terrifying experience; the teacher might be talking about how frightened he was to stand down an M-16 with a tiny 9 mm pistol.

Shall Issue State: This term applies to states that have passed laws requiring the issuance of concealed carry permits to anyone who passes the rigorous requirements. Such states do not require the applicant to show a capriciously interpreted “good reason” for a carry permit. Most such states enjoyed markedly reduced crime rates after enacting their “shall issue" ordinances.

Nigerian Freedom Fighters

Tonight, I sent my Congressman, Brad Sherman the following letter. I urge anyone reading this to send something similar to their Representative.



Dear Congressman Sherman,

Please introduce a bill as soon as possible to arm and provide training to Nigerian Freedom Fighters resisting the butchers of Boko Haram. Images tonight showed many of these brave men, dubbed "vigilantes" by an obviously hostile press, armed only with machetes to fight heavily armed and well trained Islamist Militants! Some were "armed" with farm implements! A few had antiquated firearms, among them double-barreled big-game rifles, expensive in the U.S., used decades ago to hunt dangerous (four-footed) animals. One man fielded what looked like a cap lock muzzle-loader.

These men are fighting the same war we are. We owe it to them to provide the arms and at least rudimentary training necessary to save their lives, the lives of their families, and to help defeat OUR foes.

For Mrs. Obama to hold up a "Give back our girls” sign for a “photo-opp” is well and good; but, over the weekend, Boko Haran butchered dozens of defenseless Nigerians. For the United States to do nothing more than fly a few drones over the area and carry some protest signs is nothing short of an outrage.

The Nigerian Army refuses to engage Boko Haram. Moreover, up against a mobile guerrilla army, self-defense is the first, and often only, line of defense. Just as Americans had to defend themselves on the Frontier, these people need the arms to defend themselves against a foe that is far better organized, armed, and far more ruthless than any pioneers faced in North America.

AK-47s are cheap in nearby Somalia.

I look forward to hearing your reply.

Sincerely,


Your Faithful Correspondent
