Winter Returns to Dunwich, Again!
There’s something ironic about the weather around here. My snowblower is broken, my snow shovel is broken and now my sense of humor is broken too. The forecast said “scattered light snow showers leaving less than a dusting of snow.” I went out with my broken shovel and cleared the driveway and by the time I finished it the snow had recovered the ground even deeper.
Man, I hate this place. I took some pictures of daffodil sprouts pushing through the mud three days ago. I made plans to go to a car show this Sunday. And now this crap.
Sure, I know this is probably the last real snow of the season and next week it’ll be in the sixties but this place sucks. It’s probably the reason the people here are so weird. The weather has left its mark on the soul of the inhabitants. They’re scarred by the perverse, malignant foibles of the climate here.
Alright, I got that out of my system. So this isn’t going to be that big a deal. I’ll go out again tomorrow morning and shovel it away with my broken shovel and before you know it this will just be a dim memory receding behind me.
There! All better. So I really enjoyed making fun of Dementia Joe in that last post. I think I’ll do more of that. He really deserves it and there are plenty of other dimwits in his administration that deserve to get their 15 minutes of fame too.
After the debacle of the Polish MiG fighters I wonder what new brilliance will hatch out of the State Department. Hearing about the bioweapons labs that they sponsored in the Ukraine I wouldn’t be surprised if smallpox reappears in our lives. There really isn’t any limit to the imbecility that rises out of our government. But as someone recently commented, the American people are getting what they voted for. The only question remaining is have they had enough?

Polish Jets and Blinken Blinks
Hat tip to the Conservative Treehouse for following this story.
The Americans kept pushing for the Poles to let Ukrainians fly Polish jets from their bases into the Ukraine. But the Poles aren’t crazy. So they tossed it back to the Americans saying they’d give the old MIG jets to the Americans but they’d have to host them in Germany
Then the Americans realized the Poles had called their bluff and folded.
The people running our government are buffoons, scoundrels, madmen and cowards all at the same time. It looks like they want a real shooting war but they’re too cowardly to start it themselves. It’s the old let’s you and he fight. The Poles had the good sense to bow out of that arrangement and now they can see how brave and honest the Americans have shown themselves.
Biden, Harris and Blinken. Cowards, fools and criminals.
Biden Blames Putin for Gas Prices, Stagflation, COVID Crisis, Afghan Debacle, Crime Wave in Cities and Incontinence
Washington D.C. – American President Joseph Biden gave a hard hitting if somewhat confusing speech today in front of the Trade Union Delegation from Inner Outer Stanstanistan. To the somewhat bemused pastoral herdsmen in their colorful native garb the animated but sometimes incoherent stateman was highly entertaining. Of course, since the translator was speaking in Outer Inner Stanstanistanian they couldn’t understand anything he said. But their spokesman was quoted as saying “we could tell he really meant whatever it was he was saying.”
After blaming every domestic and foreign policy debacle in his administration on the Russian strongman, Biden finished up the speech with an appeal for lower priced insulin that ended with him repeatedly striking the podium with his shoe. This got a standing ovation from the herdsmen who remembered old video clips of Khrushchev at the UN that they had watched during lunch break in grammar school. The emotional yak herders left the meeting chanting, “We will bury you, we will bury you” in fairly good Russian.
MSNBC reported that the speech is widely believed to be the talking points for the Democrat mid-term elections campaign platform. Rachel Maddow explained, “We will blame everything on Putin. Inflation, Putin. Crime, Putin. Biden’s flatulence, Putin. There is even talk of finding footage of Putin standing on George Floyd’s neck whenever Chauvin needed to be spelled. We drew the line at implicating him in the Kennedy assassination because Putin was eleven at the time and known to be a fairly poor shot with a rifle.”
Caught flat-footed by this new scheme Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell was quoted as saying, “Huh?”
After the speech a news team was sent out to a local gas station to do a man on the street interview with a consumer filling his gas tank. After watching a clip from the speech, the motorist reached into his car and proceeded to brain the reporter with a baseball bat. Police were called to the scene and after watching the video, they emptied the clips of their sidearms into the now motionless reporter and left. The rest of the news crew beat a tactical retreat back to MSNBC where they suggested that the DNC might want to do a little more focus group workshopping of the idea. But they stressed that heavy blunt objects and pointed and sharp-edged utensils be removed from the premises beforehand.
Later that night a medical emergency was declared at the White House. During dinner when asked by Doctor Jill what he had done that day President Biden began to repeat the word Putin over and over in a continuous string; putinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputiputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputinputin!!!!!
When the doctors arrived, the president was diagnosed with a rare form of political Tourette’s syndrome. It is now believed that for the rest of his life he will only be able to utter combinations of the two syllables pu and tin. When questioned about this development White House Spokesperson Jen Psaki declared that this situation was Putin’s fault but that it would pose no real problem to President Biden continuing his present activities. In fact, Psaki hinted that the new situation might actually make her job easier.
However, after hearing that the condition was permanent First Lady Doctor Jill packed her bag and left the White House with her secret service detail in tow. She was quoted as saying, “That’s enough. I’m out.”
Tucker Carlson Provides an Excellent Discussion of Ukraine
I think this is the best summary from a mainstream source that I have seen so far. Carlson touches upon many of the important aspects of how this war is going to make our lives worse in the weeks and months ahead. Energy prices, food prices and increases in everything else because of the impact of the price of oil. And fundamentally, the increased risk of starting a nuclear war. Tucker Carlson is probably the only mainstream source that provides this point of view. Everyone else including the rest of Fox News is carrying water for the UniParty and their desire to start a war with Russia.
The Big Poker Game
Russia’s all in. The leaders of the western “democracies” are looking at their hand and wondering if the other guy has a better one. And the rest of us are trying to figure out how we will end up paying for the loss. Because we lose every which way it goes.
No matter what happens, we’re going to be paying for $10 a gallon gasoline and $10 a gallon heating oil. Forget about expensive restaurants and vintage wines. We’re going to have to get used to eating peanut butter sandwiches for dinner and mending our old clothes. Everything that used to seemed normal will become extravagances. We’ll be counting the pennies and sweating the dollars that we don’t have.
Since we’re the ones footing the bill, we might as well enjoy the show. Russia is going to force Ukraine to stay in its orbit. The West is going to banish Russia from their financial and economic systems. This will be followed by Russia withholding oil and gas and other commodities like fertilizer from Europe and the US. This round of tit for tat lockouts and boycotts will lead to huge dislocations in supply and demand of critical materials like wheat and corn. I guess we’ll get to see Joe Biden’s approval numbers reach single digits in the months running up to the November midterms. I guess if it got bad enough it’s theoretically possible that the incoming congress could impeach and convict Dementia Joe of mopery and dopery and boot him and his mentally fragile vice president out of office and make a Republican president. That might be fun to follow on tv.
But I’m not sure if anyone will want the job by then. I think Americans are going to be extremely displeased with the way things will be going for the next couple of years. Dopey Joe has screwed things up royally and it won’t be easy to fix it. And that’s assuming that we don’t get into a nuclear war with Russia. I’m not sure what the geniuses in the think tanks feel are the odds of this happening. But based on nothing but what I’ve read about the start of World War One and my gut instinct I’m guessing that the odds of a shooting war breaking out is 50/50.
But nuclear war isn’t something I worry about anymore. We’ve put a drooling idiot in charge of the nuclear arsenal and General Milley in charge of our trans-army so we’ve already chosen to leave our survival up to the toss of a coin. All I’m interested in at this point is how the American public reacts to all this going on. Even ten years ago half of these problems would have guaranteed an administration would be voted out of office. If it turns out that’s not the case this time then this country has truly been fundamentally changed for the worse.
So let the poker game proceed. Bluffing and raising the stakes are the order of the day. Well, lying is Joe’s forte. The problem is he does it so consistently that everyone assumes that every word out of his mouth is a lie. The only problem for Joe is Putin probably doesn’t bluff.
