I turned on the tv last night to watch a show and immediately was confronted by Liz Cheney\u2019s ugly mug.\u00a0 I had run smack into the Jan 6th<\/sup> show trial.\u00a0 I let out a yelp and switched inputs on my remote to reach the stream I was looking for on the screen.\u00a0 Yikes that was close!\u00a0 Honestly, I am trying to enjoy the summer and wasting even a single moment of it on the Jan 6th<\/sup> Committee is anathema.<\/p>\n

Having avoided that death trap, I congratulated myself for my quick work and indulged in a frivolous hour of detective show fun about Harry Bosch.\u00a0 Of course, even this supposedly neutral entertainment has been infected with social justice of various stripes.\u00a0 Harry is fighting against injustice where marginalized people like blacks, Latinas and \u201cthe Homeless\u201d are being put upon by the evil white man but at least there\u2019s no sign of Liz Cheney or Adam Schiff.\u00a0 So, I relaxed and spent an hour with Camera Girl with only a minimum of it involving me yelling at some propaganda subplot of the show.<\/p>\n

Seriously, kudos to Fox News for refusing to join the other networks in giving wall to wall coverage to this Stalinist struggle session.\u00a0 It\u2019s the summer and the living is easy for a reason.\u00a0 Good weather, long days and the sights and sounds of summer make this the time of year that people live for.\u00a0 Only a dimwit would force himself to endure hours of Cheney and Schiff banging the insurrection drum.<\/p>\n

I checked in with the Real Clear Politics Biden Approval Rating and it was at a new low.\u00a0 So that improved my mood.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The average has now edged below 40%.\u00a0 Which means that several of the polls have him in the mid-thirties.\u00a0 That must be freaking out the likes of Nancy Pelosi pretty strong.\u00a0 Schadenfreude is an addictive drug and I must admit I\u2019m enjoying the experience of reading those headlines of Democrat political panic over the mid-terms.\u00a0 Dems and RINOs losing their cozy jobs in the Congress does quite a bit to salve my feelings over $5\/gal gas and $6\/gal milk.<\/p>\n

I was comforted by reading that at least there were Federal Marshals on duty at Brett Kavanaugh\u2019s house when that psychopath showed up at 1 am to kill him.\u00a0 Apparently even Merrick Garland isn\u2019t blood thirsty enough to allow the assassination of a Supreme Court Justice to occur on his watch.\u00a0 And I\u2019m enheartened that some of the press has linked up Chuck Schumer\u2019s \u201creleased the whirlwind\u201d threat against Brett Kavanaugh to this latest assassination attempt.\u00a0 It seems as if the Democrats and the Biden Administration just keep stepping on rakes as we continue on our way to societal ruin.<\/p>\n

I saw an article that claimed that Biden would pivot after the mid-terms and move his policies to the middle to try and work with the new Republican controlled Congress.\u00a0 The lefty author of the piece was decrying this move as unnecessary.\u00a0 Apparently, some on the Left think things are bound to get better and they don\u2019t want to lose out on the advantages that bankrupting the middle class will give their side.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure I think Joe Biden knows enough about what he is doing to strategize any post mid-term pivot.\u00a0 I think half of his administration will be bailing out after the mid-terms and we\u2019re going to endure a really awful two years of economic chaos.<\/p>\n

But today I\u2019ll have some fun.\u00a0 I\u2019ll take some photos and get some air.\u00a0 I hope you have a good day too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
