\u201cOnce more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;\u201d<\/p>\n

My word, but that Billy Shakespeare could turn a phrase.\u00a0 Now, I\u2019m not preparing to storm the walls of a French town but I am steeling myself for about eleven days of grief.\u00a0 This week is disrupted but next week promises to be a disaster.\u00a0 Well, I asked for it, now I\u2019ve got to see it through.\u00a0 It\u2019s like everything in this world, the reality never completely corresponds to the theory.\u00a0 But I\u2019ve always been the king of wingin\u2019 it.\u00a0 So, bring it on, bring it on, bring it on.<\/p>\n

I watched a video with that Grima Wormtongue of Washington insiders George Stephanopoulos surrounded by his panel of losers<\/a>.\u00a0 He had Chris Christy, Donna Brazile and two other boobs I\u2019d never heard of.\u00a0 They were bemoaning an ABC poll that shows Biden with an approval rating of 36% and trailing Donald Trump 42% to 49% in a general election.\u00a0 They said Biden\u2019s age and mental health were factors and also the awful economic conditions that Americans are suffering under.<\/p>\n

Well, duh!<\/p>\n

What I liked about this video was how scared they all sounded about the budget negotiations and how maybe this time McCarthy has them over a barrel and the Democrats will have to cut the trillions in graft in order to get the debt ceiling approved.\u00a0 As far as Trump or any Republican winning the White House, I think that\u2019s just happy talk.\u00a0 The voting fix is in for the swing states so winning the presidency is almost certainly not going to happen.\u00a0 But it\u2019s still nice to see that most of the country hates Creepy Uncle Joe.<\/p>\n

I see that the protests have begun in New York City to try and force the DA to charge Daniel Penny with murder for the killing of Jordan Neely<\/a>.\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s no surprise.\u00a0 And just to add some irony to the event they disrupted subway travel to make their point.\u00a0 The cretins were on the subway tracks in Manhattan.\u00a0 Sadly, none of them were run over by a train or electrocuted by the third rail but they managed to infuriate the commuters trying to get to work and home.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure it won\u2019t be long before the despicable Manhattan DA railroads this young man and sets him up for a kangaroo court conviction.\u00a0 But we\u2019ll soon see where this goes.\u00a0 And either way it will be instructive of the true direction that New York City will be heading in the future.\u00a0 My guess is cannibalism.<\/p>\n

I feel like a lot of people are waking up to the new reality.\u00a0 The shock at the banana republic tactics that we see all around us has worn off.\u00a0 And that\u2019s a very good thing.\u00a0 When you lose your illusions about your surroundings then you can make much more effective decisions.\u00a0 And in that way, we will stop falling into the same traps that they\u2019ve been springing on us for decades.\u00a0 We won\u2019t latch onto the next \u201capproved\u201d choice that we hope will be on our side.\u00a0 So, no more JEB!, no more W, no more RINOs, no more establishment ringers of any sort.<\/p>\n

I hope to do my best to produce content over the next week or so but there may be some glitches.\u00a0 So, stay tuned and we\u2019ll muddle through somehow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
