All the Secrets of the Universe and Some Really Important Stuff Too!
This is a 1920 something Packard that just happened to be in range of my lens around 12 years ago. I posted this shot on flickr and a few years later was contacted by the American Pickers show asking to purchase rights to use it on their TV show.
We have so many crazy people in this country. And I don’t mean the psychopaths living in homeless encampments. I’m talking about people like Nancy Pelosi and David Frum. Here are “leaders.” Pelosi used to be the Speaker of the House. Frum writes for the premiere media outlets. And after witnessing the undeniable exposure of Joe Biden’s massive cognitive failure, both of them spew lies and projection about how the real story is Donald Trump’s cognitive condition.
Pelosi danced and weaved to avoid saying that Joe Biden is incapable of running the country the way a president has to. Finally, when all else failed she claimed that there were medical doctors who thought that Trump was suffering from dementia based on his debate performance. Alternatively, I have to say Pelosi was getting so agitated over being asked to answer the question about Biden’s cognitive problems that she was starting to sound a little demented herself.
And these crazy people running our country don’t intend to let go, regardless of whether Biden or Trump “wins” the election. They just expect to keep calling the shots and running things the way they want. And maybe they will. I haven’t seen any real proof that Trump will take down the Deep State. I mean, I’d love to see it happen but what makes him think it will end up any differently from 2017-2021? I’m guessing that even if he wins, the FBI and the other intelligence agencies will begin undermining his administration from day one. Will he be firing trainloads of these guys right from the git-go?
I have heard that the Heritage Foundation has a project running that identified talent that Trump can start hiring from the start to fill all the leadership openings in the critical agencies. But are all these guys just warmed over George W Bush cronies? Will they be Bill Barr times ten thousand? Because if so, then it could be even worse than last time.
What he probably should do is hire all the military officers that Barack Obama fired. A cadre of discipline military men that have old scores to settle might be just the force needed to clean house at the FBI, the Justice Department, the CIA and the rest of these renegade agencies.
And speaking of the military, Trump’s first official executive order should be to fire any biological male in the military wearing a wig and a skirt. Especially the “Rear Admiral,” “Rachel” Levine. What this freak show has done to military morale and preparedness cannot be overstated.
So, for me the desperate nature of our situation lies in how entrenched the craziest people are in our society. Rooting these people out will take all of the time and attention away from trying to accomplish anything positive. The only ameliorating circumstance is that so many of these nuts are geriatric age. Nancy Pelosi is eighty-four years old and looks every second of that. Watching her argue with the reporter about Biden’s dementia I kept thinking she might keel over from the strain. But no luck.
Much good could be done with the aid of Father Time. But without a doubt if anything is going to be accomplished to undo some of the harm, we see around us it’s going to take grunt work and spite. Gosh I wish I were younger. All I have left at this point is the spite.
There is no man so good that if he placed all his actions and thoughts under the scrutiny of the laws, he would not deserve hanging ten times in his life.

What a crazy week. Thursday has thrown the Left into a tailspin. It’s been a one-two punch. The debate shocked them into realizing that Dementia Joe really is Dementia Joe. That was the jab. But then they realized that the Bidens and apparently the Obamas and the Clintons want Joe to stagger forward with the campaign. Without the Bidens concession, the delegates will have to confirm Joe’s candidacy. The was the right cross. So, they’re looking around and trying to figure out what the hell to do.
And the squealing is marvelous. Whole divisions, whole armies of hysterical losers have been thrown into an uproar. They can’t imagine how this could be possible. “All the experts told us that Joe was razor sharp behind closed doors. He’s like a super-computer, spitting out facts and figures with the machine-like precision of some kind of futuristic artificial intelligence. He’s the Biden 9000.”
Yeah, not so much. Dr. Jill gives him his oatmeal and egg whites and if he’s a good enough boy he’ll get an ice cream cone for lunch but they can only drag out one of those “state of the union” Adderall, dog and pony shows every six months. More often than that would probably kill him. So stupid Joe is what they get.
“But Trump lied!” Sure, Trump exaggerates when he talks. He’s a salesman. That’s what they do. But at least he’s an honest liar. He’s telling you the elevator pitch for what really exists. But Biden is a congenital liar. He lies as often as the rest of us breathe. And any resemblance between his story and reality is purely coincidental. He couldn’t stop lying if his life depended on it. It’s who he is. The funniest moment of the debate is when Biden claimed that he had a six handicap in golf. Trump made a wry face and started laughing at him. When Joe quibbled about it, Trump ended by saying “Please, let’s not act like children.” And when Donald Trump tells you you’re being childish you know you’ve hit bottom.
So now Biden has gone back on the campaign trail with Dr. Jill and he’s embracing his hollowed-out cerebral cortex as a badge of courage. “I may not be able to walk, talk, count to four, control my bowels or remember my name but I’m not a liar. I’m simply a mental patient.” Four more years! Four more years!
It’s a lot of fun. And it’s worked out almost impossibly well for Trump. The undeniable truth of just how unqualified Joe Biden is to be the commander in chief of the US armed forces is permanently on view from Thursday’s debate. There’s just no way to deny what we saw. And this should be enough to eliminate the honest voters who hate both Trump and Biden. Now at worst, they’ll vote for no one. It will be, in their minds, indefensible to put Biden in possession of the nuclear football. But chances are, at least some of them will vote for Trump. And that may be enough to overcome the fraud campaign in the Great Lakes states. Not definitely but plausibly.
And the panic this has inspired has been echoing around the internet like a cannon shot. The first few opinion polls have seen Trump get a boost of a few points. Probably by Tuesday more data will appear. That should tell me whether I should be dancing in the street or just chuckling over a temporary panic by the lunatics.
But it has made my weekend pleasant. Thanks Joe.
Update:
Biden’s lies are substantial.
The first law that ever God gave to man was a law of pure obedience; it was a commandment naked and simple, wherein man had nothing to inquire after, nor to dispute; forasmuch as to obey is the proper office of a rational soul, acknowledging a heavenly superior and benefactor.

The overruling of Chevron could also apply to the BATFE, as it also is an executive branch not a legislative branch function. This is a refreshing pushback against the unelected beurocrats who make up new ways to advance personal or ideological policies without the power of legislation.
I am happy to see a beginning of unraveling the fiat state that has been created by BATFE, EOA, NOAA, and other over reaching government functionairies believing themselves to be the originator of power, and authority not truly granted them or their offices.
It is a small start, but truly appears to be headed in the right direction when viewed with the pushback against geotabbing cattle by the EPA, while disregarding illegal and unvetted, or unvaccinated invaders over our borders. Hopefully it results in less overreach, but that will be seen in the future.
