This is Biden’s Benghazi.

A picture’s worth a thousand words.

Cue Susan Rice (Biden’s policy advisor) to go on all the Sunday shows downplaying the terror attack of 8-26-21, the worst attack in a decade. The last one was in August of 2011 under Obama when one of our Chinook helicopters holding Navy SEALs got shot down by the Taliban in Afghanistan. Then shortly later was the terror attack in Benghazi on the ten year anniversary of 9-11. Way to go Obama.

“On 5 August 2011, a U.S. CH-47D Chinook military helicopter operating with the call sign Extortion 17 was shot down while transporting a Quick Reaction Force attempting to reinforce a Joint Special Operations Command unit of the 75th Ranger Regiment in the Tangi Valley in Maidan Wardak province, southwest of Kabul.

The 31 American deaths represent the greatest loss of U.S. military lives in a single incident in the, by then, decade-long war in Afghanistan that began in 2001.[7][15][29]

Fifteen of the Navy SEALs that were killed were members of the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU),[5][14][15] while the other two Navy SEALs killed in the helicopter shootdown were from an unidentified West Coast-based SEAL unit. The five other Navy casualties were NSW (Naval Special Warfare) support personnel; in addition to these, three AFSOC operators, one Combat Controller and two Pararescuemen, all members of the 24th Special Tactics Squadron, died in the crash. Their deaths are the greatest single loss of life ever suffered by the U.S. Special Operations community in the 24-year history.” Wikipedia

Maybe Susan can say that ISIS was inspired by a hateful video that circulated on the internet in Afghanistan again. Then Biden can hunt down and jail the video creator. This is how they operate. No one has ever been held accountable for Benghazi attack nor the downing of our Navy SEALs helicopter, that I’ve heard. Unless Trump carpet-bombed them. Just like how no one’s being held accountable for the reckless, unnecessary death of Ashli Babbitt either. This is how they operate. They “circle the wagons” of their own. Oh, sorry, that term could be insensitive these days.

In the meantime, we have to be on pins and needles waiting for the next shoe to drop in Kabul. Biden’s Build Back Better slogan must have been intended for the Taliban to takeover Afghanistan and possibly change it’s name of their country to “Talibania.” It’s certainly doesn’t apply to anything he’s touched in America.

Resign Biden, like Nixon had to. You blew it. Nixon may have bugged an office, you just bugged out of Afghanistan.

U.S. Keeps Their Friends (Afghans) Close and Their Enemies (Taliban) Closer.

The Taliban in Afghanistan

What a mistake this was! I suspected we were reaching a fever pitch in Kabul, but today’s terror attack is totally outrageous and unacceptable! A suicide bomber takes out 13 of our military and 95 (so far) Afghans, and we were warned ahead of time? What kind of military strategy was this? No trucks should have been allowed near a checkpoint during a threat of an ISIS attack. No trucks! No Taliban soldiers should have been screening them. Zero. ISIS prisoners were let out by the Taliban and they recongregated, and we didn’t see this coming? Who’s in charge over there?

I feel like our military was not trained in what ISIS is all about and became trusting sitting ducks. They’ve been taught about systemic racism instead of how to spot our enemy. ISIS (now called ISIS K by Biden) are killing machines and have our machines to do it! Why would our generals trust Taliban who took down our World Trade Center? They just took over their country from the Afghans! They can’t be trusted! Who’s in charge over there?

We are cutting and running and leaving a trail of bloody bodies in our path. Today’s attack will be the beginning of many more it looks like. We will end up sending in more troops and taking on ISIS all over again combined with the Taliban. And they have all our arsenals, tanks, helicopters, drones, uniforms, and Toyota trucks and Hummers which will make it hard to know if they are U.S. or Taliban. Who’s in charge over there?

The Pentagon praised their military today for a great job and for working with Taliban. It was sickening. They should have been apologizing immensely to families who lost their loved ones. Where are the Code Pink Ladies that hate war? They came out everyday during the Iraq War. But when a Democrat is president they remain silent? This alone should have everyone agreeing. Biden has botched this military mission from the get go and will lead us back into war. We will have terror attacks on our soil again. They are bringing Afghans into our country who could be radicalized once they see how we live or go on Twitter.

Biden goes on the air talking about his son Bo’s one year service who didn’t die in the war. He died from cancer which millions of people do each year. My brother died from cancer and was in the Navy four years and we never equate the two. But Biden keeps using Bo as a prop to gain sympathy from the public. Interestingly, he never mentions Hunter’s service. I wonder why? Not really.

“First person I was instructed to call on,” Biden says after a moment of silence and a look of a deer in the headlights. Biden is counting on Taliban’s self interest to behave. OMG! This guy is clearly unfit for this job that he stole. If self interest is pallets of cash, we know how that turns out. He mocks FOX reporter Doocy before he calls him then deflects from his question and starts quizzing Doocy about Trump’s pullout plan which he didn’t even use. Doocy asked if the buck really stops with Biden. Biden blamed Trump first, Bush second, but never put blame on Obama. Then he says he expects these attacks to continue beyond today. This is just the beginning. The guy who knocks on wood hoping the troops won’t die. We’re in trouble. Trouble, trouble, trouble with a capital T that rhymes with B that stands for Biden!

Time to resign, Biden. You missed your afternoon nappy and milky and had to lay your head on your binder during your press conference. Wow! If he doesn’t look weak, I don’t know what weak looks like. No wonder we lost in Afghanistan. We need to send in a squadron of bombers and carpet bomb the s–t out of Taliban and ISIS…again. Shock and Awe will have to return as we can’t count on Biden to track down and kill a fly. He gave an empty threat. As Trump says, Taliban saw weakness and began their takeover the second Biden stepped into office. And our generals weren’t watching as they were too busy spreading falsehoods of systemic racism.

Snarky, Cocky Biden and Psaki Amid Criticism.

Eddie Haskell - Wikipedia
Cocky Eddie Haskell from Leave it to Beaver.

Who is advising these two on how to handle press core questions? Axel Foley or Eddie Haskell? It appears so. They are cocky, sassy, and down right rude to the reporters. And they used to say Trump was rude to the press? Biden and Psaki give new meaning to rude and their advisers should be fired.

Eddie Murphy To Return As Axel Foley In Netflix's Beverly Hills Cop 4

These press core reporters, who usually are in the tank for Biden, are finally asking some tough questions and how does snarky Joe answer whether the deadline would go beyond 8-31? “You’ll be the first to know” with a sickening smile. And how does cocky Pippi answer? “That’s irresponsible to call Americans stranded.”

Who are they to scold a reporter when they are behind the worst foreign debacle since Viet Nam? Instead of being remorseful or embarrassed, they double down on their careless decisions claiming everything is going according to plan. We’ve seen more of the back of Biden’s head trotting swiftly away from questions than the front of his empty head.

Joe Biden Pushed Ronald Reagan to Ramp Up Incarceration

Currently suicide bombs are going off in Kabul injuring our people. Do Biden and Psaki have any empathy? No! They are two of the most apathetic, uncaring individuals ever in public office. It is disgraceful, and they should both step down along with fundraising Kammie. The three of these self-centered politicians are clearly out for themselves. The true winner of the presidential election should be installed quickly to save our country.

God bless the safe return of those stranded in Afghanistan along with our rescuing soldiers and pilots.

The United Sheep of America…

is what we are turning into. Other countries are wondering what happened to America and the leader of the free world. We look to be capitulating to every demand the terror group Taliban asks for. Which makes us sheep.

We walk around wearing masks for no reason, getting booster shots for no reason, and masking our children in school for no reason. Which makes us sheep. Where’s our backbone? Where’s our mettle? What has become of the America I grew up in? It is hardly recognizable any longer.

The sheep drive around in prissy electric cars, staring at a contraption in their hands, while wearing a mask for no good reason. Who are they? They get their news off a cellphone or social media which has gone totally radical. They sympathize with radicals like BLM, Antifa, and now Taliban. Any group that stands up to America, the sheep seem to sympathize with. Why? Why is this? Must be Stockholm Syndrome.

The millennials, GenZs, and GenXs are running our country right now from AOC to the leaders of BLM. Our government is in lockstep with all their demands just like they are in Afghanistan to the Taliban demands. We look weak, inept, and helpless. Which makes us sheep. Some cities allow drug addicted homeless to live on the sidewalks in tents. The streets reek of urine, feces, and pot, yet it is allowed to continue due to our weak political leaders. And the sheep just walk on by and ignore it like good little sheep do.

Our military commanders and leaders would rather talk about white rage, CRT, white supremacists, and transgenders rather than protecting our country from Radical Islamic Terrorists. I wonder where they learned that from? Obama. Biden has surrounded himself with inept people to do his dirty work so he won’t get the blame thus the choice of Kammie, Blinken, and Austin. He wants to stay above the fray while his underlings take the heat. Obama used to do the same thing.

The result of all this pansy behavior is what we are witnessing in real time today. Our borders are looking like a third world country together with the debacle in Afghanistan. All of this was avoidable if we were under the leadership of Trump. But where do we go from here? How do we take our country back and turn the sheep back into human beings? A few suggestions would be breaking up social media conglomerates, holding news stations accountable when they report fake news, doing an audit of our education system from kindergarten on up to the universities, completing the election audits in all the stolen states, or impeaching Biden. But first we must takeover the House and the Senate. We have no power right now.

Anyone of the above looks to be in order about now. Short of going to the streets like the Tea Party did during Obama’s term, we don’t want to stoop to the level of Antifa and BLM. We are better than that, and I doubt it would even be reported accurately. The news would say white supremacists take to the streets. Or it would be infiltrated by BLM and someone would get hurt and blamed on conservatives. I just heard that a member of the Proud Boys who burned a BLM flag got sentenced, but BLM and Antifa do not get sentenced for tearing down statues and burning the American flag. We are upside down right now under this government. What’s bad is treated as good and what’s good is treated as bad.

There’s no other way out of this mess other than taking over the House and Senate and recalling governors like Newsom. Vote the bums out! Take the House and Senate and send Pelosi packing with her ice cream cartons and ugly masks.

The Wrecking Ball.

The Rise and Fall of the Wrecking Ball | Smart News | Smithsonian Magazine

You know who I’m referring to. Joe Biden wrecks everything he touches then takes no responsibility. He’s the “dog ate my homework” or chaos president.

He wrecked the pullout of troops from Afghanistan. He wrecked the message of taking the vaccine. He wrecked the reopening of schools in a timely manner. He totally wrecked our secure borders turning it into complete chaos. He wrecked the message of whether to wear a mask or not after being vaccinated. Migrants are not required but school children are.

Biden wrecked the energy independence that we once enjoyed which has raised the cost of everything from gas to food. He wrecked the Olympics by allowing BLM messages. He wrecked women’s sports and the military by allowing transgenders to participate. He wrecked unity in America by injecting systemic racism into every speech he makes. He wrecked education by allowing CRT to be taught in school. There are many more things that Biden has wrecked, too numerous to list.

Whenever he is asked about his performance, he obfuscates the question in true sociopath manner after sporting a big guilty grin. He deflects. For instance, yesterday they asked him if he thinks he has done a good job pulling out of Afghanistan. His answer was “we have been in this war for 20 years; it’s time to pullout, and I don’t regret bringing our troops home.” See what he does? He was asked if did a good job, not if he did the job. He turns the question into whether we should be in another country with our troops. He is diabolical. He is dangerous.

I started to wonder why would this administration prefers chaos to calm? Are they trying to get us into a war? It sure looks like it. Democrats love war although they profess not to. That is their dirty little secret. Biden wants a war under his watch and is heading us into one. He wants to be the new George W. Bush. Just wait. The first terror attack we get on our soil, we’ll be back in a war with some country. There’s a reason Schumer is dancing up a storm and high fiving on video. Something is up. They love calamity and are wrecking everything in seven months that we’ve worked so hard for.

Biden wrecks everything he touches. Whether he admits it or not, his pullout in Afghanistan was ill-conceived, sloppy, and careless. Basically he put the cart before the horse.

Do You Have “Stealer’s Remorse” Yet?

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

It’s like buyer’s remorse only instead of purchasing something legally, you stole it but wish you hadn’t. You know who you are. Most likely a registered Democrat or Independent that sent in a mail in ballot as well as voted in person. You may have sneakily filled out a ballot addressed to the former occupant of your home and mailed it in. Or you filled out your deceased parent’s ballot and mailed it in. Or you voted and weren’t a legal citizen or even of legal age. Or you worked at an election office and photocopied many blank ballots and filled them out yourself. Or you are a postal worker that discarded many ballots or drove them out of state. Or you tampered with the voting machines or snuck in suitcases of counterfeit ballots after hours. Or you gave the wrong pen to Republican voters so that their ballots would be disqualified. Whatever your method of cheating was, it was fraud; and you may be experiencing stealer’s remorse about now.

How does it feel? Are you guilt ridden yet? You got who you wanted. How’s he doing anyway? How’s your guy you risked going to jail for doing? How’s your gasoline bill these days? How about your grocery bill? How’s your heating bill looking? How’s your child’s classroom look? Are they mask free? What are the teachers teaching your children? How’s your town looking these days? Is it tent free? Is it mask free? Is it riot and looting free? Is it safe to walk the streets? How’s your grocery shopping looking? How are your hospitals looking? How are our borders looking? How’s that Afghanistan pullout of the troops going?

If you’re honest with yourself, the answer to all of the above is dismal. In essence, you voted possibly more than once and illegally, for a feebleminded buffoon. You must have stealer’s remorse just as a bank robber has once he realizes his bag of bank bills were marked. How does it feel? Not so good I imagine. How do you sleep at night, those who cheated to get this chaotic president in office? How do you sleep? Most people, if they weren’t living under a rock, knew what Biden would bring us. He told us. He showed us who he was every time he opened his mouth.

I’m already hearing from those who voted for Biden that they want to move to Montana or Idaho. Really? After they’ve ruined the state of California with their frivolous, capricious voting habits, they want to go to another state and ruin it? How selfish are these people? I’d rather they didn’t vote at all and leave the president and governor choosing up to more informed people.

The way this country is being run is the most incompetent I’ve ever lived through, and it will only get worse if something isn’t done soon. All these evacuated foreigners coming into our country with God knows what sort of diseases that will be spread. They are coming by air, foot, buses, and trains. It is a mass invasion of our country from people from all over the world. Biden has caused this chaos and must resign or be impeached. This is getting too much to handle, and they are clearly not up for the job. Trump had a clear and precise plan to leave Afghanistan, but Biden discarded it along with all the other good plans Trump had in place. Biden is feebleminded. He needs to go.

The other day while Biden was giving a press conference, Kamala and Blinken stood at his side with big black masks covering most of their guilty faces. But from the looks of the fear in their eyes alone, they looked like hostages under Biden’s capture. I don’t like Kamala, but at least she’s not crazy. I think she may try to right the ship that Biden has clearly capsized. After all, first woman president, she has to do better than Biden; if not for the people, but for setting a good example for women in power. Hillary will have a hissy fit that it wasn’t her filling the job, but Kammie will just be a space filler until we get Trump back.

Do you have stealer’s remorse yet? And if you voted honestly but have not spoken out against the way the election was stolen, then you are part of the problem. Complicit to a crime is just as bad as committing it. Speak out against the way the election was rigged. Biden has to go. So does Newsom and Sisolak. Vote the bums out.

Defiant Biden Won’t Take Blame.

Passing the buck.

The guy who claims “the buck stops here” is passing the buck to anyone he can find. He’s so arrogant he will never admit to any wrongdoing. While he was on vacation, he turned his back on the Afghan people and let the Taliban terrorists takeover city by city, so he knew it was happening. Dereliction of duty. While Pippi Psaki was on vacation, she had no one filling in for her. Dereliction of her duty too.

I don’t think Biden cares a twit about Afghanistan nor the people there including Americans. Now Nancy comes out and says Biden did a swift and decisive job in removing our troops. Is she watching the same news? The only one who thinks Biden did a good job is Bette Midriff and probably Streisand, Cher, Madonna, Joy, Meryl, and Fonda. Combine those five geniuses’ minds and you get one normal IQ.

Biden knew this fiasco would occur as he was forewarned, so he either must have wanted it to occur or we have an extremely lazy or feckless military. Or is something more nefarious going on? Did Biden want to create a smokescreen to get the news off the story of the upcoming election audits, southern border crisis, or excessive infrastructure bill filled with pork? War always trumps talks of boring election results, immigration reform, or tax hikes. No one is talking about the results of election audits, the border surge filled with covid-infected criminals, nor the infrastructure bill with money going to everything except roads and bridges. Mission accomplished, Biden, as the news cycle has shifted to exclusively our failure in Afghanistan.

When Biden gives his teleprompter speeches he always ends with, “God bless and protect our troops.” We now know those are empty words coming from him. He doesn’t give a hoot about our troops nor their reputation. In fact, under Biden’s orders he has made them look like cowards who cut and run, but they are only performing the orders given by their commanders. The buck stops with Biden whether he wants it to or not. Own it Biden.

While We Slept…

we took our eyes off the ball. America has spent the last five years being distracted from real issues. Despite what our FBI and CIA says, the biggest threat to America isn’t white supremacists, it’s Radical Islamic Terrorists. It has been for the last twenty or so years. I guess they forgot.

But the Democrats caused Americans to take their eyes off the ball with phony trumped-up articles of impeachment thrown at Trump while he was running the country like a well-oiled machine. When that wasn’t enough, the left had to distract us with unnecessary matters like riots across the nation, the metoo movement, black lives matter, green energy, abolishing fossil fuel, critical race theory, fake voter suppression, fake systemic racism, offensive statue removals, social media bans, transgender rights, gender neutralizing, fake white privilege, fake white rage, capitol set up, prisoner releases, capitol fencing, masks on masks off, vaccination confusion, defunding the police, white supremacy, packing the court, mail in ballots, the Big Lie, school closures, and now the latest “The Delta Surge.”

Phew! That’s a lot of distractions the Democrats have given Americans to be concerned with. Keep in mind all of the aforementioned have been created, drummed up, or overseen by the Democrat/Socialist Party not the GOP. We have wasted five years of precious time on minutia–squabbling over insignificant crap. And while we slept, we allowed the Taliban to grow in numbers and strength; steal our military arsenal, tanks, and trucks; and take over a country that we were defending and training for twenty years to fight the Taliban. Right before our eyes. Right under our nose. And we didn’t go there to intervene in their civil war like Biden claims. We went there to eradicate and annihilate, as well as keep the lid on, the ruthless Taliban killers of 9-11. I guess we just gave up, took our marbles and left. They overtook our embassy just like in Benghazi but without any resistance this time. Twenty years of blood and treasure lost…forfeited in one day. August 16th will go down in infamy; not January 6th, which was child’s play compared to August 16th.

August 16th will be remembered as the day America let down the Afghan people and cut and ran. Other countries that we have promised to defend like Israel, South Korea, and Taiwan all felt it. Now they know that America has gone “woke” under a Biden Administration which is synonymous for weak. Our commanders are more concerned with silly talk of race theories, transsexuals, and white supremacy than defending our country. They are an embarrassment. They’ve humiliated us on the world stage. Deceased presidents must be spinning in their graves.

They’ve also left us wide open for the next terror attack on our soil! Not only that, but they will be transporting the fleeing Afghans into our country together with the fleeing South Americans at our southern border. We have a possible full blown Trojan Horse going on here. Who knows who will be boarding those planes pretending to be fleeing from the Taliban. Who knows? Definitely not our new Commander in Chief. He’s about as feeble as a garden snail with a herd of trampling elephants approaching.

Our country will soon become one of those shithole countries Trump spoke of unless we do something soon. Impeach Biden, Harris, Milley, Blinken, and the Secretary of Defense. They have failed at their number one responsibility to protect our people and allies. Dereliction of duty. Someone in the House needs to come up with Articles of Impeachment of Biden et al. Two can play this game. At least there’s sufficient cause this time around.

Terrorists Across the Globe Will Celebrate Taliban Takeover.

Op-Ed: How the White House bungled the Bowe Bergdahl case - Los Angeles  Times
Parents of traitor Bo Bergdahl getting honored by Obama.

Twenty years after 9-11 and back to square one it seems. Obama made the deal of the century when he traded five of the worst of the worst terrorists out of Gitmo for a traitor who abandoned his troops. His name was Bo Bergdahl. Worst decision in U.S. History as the leader of yesterday’s Taliban takeover (who used to work for Bin Laden) is the one Obama released out of Gitmo. Great job Obama! Great foresight. Why do I think this was Obama’s plan all along? He was influenced by many radicals in his life and may subconsciously be enjoying this. Word is still out on that.

Biden has blamed everyone for the debacle/mayhem in Afghanistan except for himself. Biden, the pentagon, intelligence, and commanders executed their exit plan all wrong. Sometimes I wonder if we really have an Intelligence Department. This was so avoidable and so foreseeable. But with the appeasement policy of the Biden Administration, they trust too much and verify too little. It would be politically incorrect to doubt the friendly Taliban’s motives. If Biden has anyone to blame it’s Obama’s legacy.

Somehow Biden has tried to link Trump as the reason they were caught with their pants down. The dog ate my homework seems to be this administration’s “go to” excuse for everything THEY get wrong. Biden inherited Trump’s exit plan. Since when does Biden follow anything he inherited from Trump? Never. But now seems to want it? Amazing how that works. Biden made his first grave error when he ANNOUNCED we’d be exiting on the anniversary of 9-11. Are you kidding me?! That’s an open invitation for the Taliban to attack. And was never Trump’s plan.

Twitter is basically in bed with our enemies. They are allowing this released Taliban terrorist to use their platform to spread his propaganda, but they won’t allow President Trump or Rand Paul to use their platform. Twitter needs to be shutdown and possibly investigated as it is a clear and present danger to our country. They are aiding and abetting our enemies by spreading hate for America.

Unfortunately, we have not seen the end to this debacle yesterday. Terrorists across the world will get inspired by the Taliban takeover and are most likely celebrating, if not recongregating, especially through Facebook and Twitter. None of this would have happened under President Trump. Terrorists do not respect or fear Biden and that is the first problem. More often than not, our soldiers are told to stand down under Democrat control–during Benghazi attack, Antifa riots, and the capitol riot. The enemy ate our lunch yesterday and Biden tried to put the blame back onto Trump. Trump would have had us exit safely and orderly in May as promised if only he was given an honest election. Elections do have consequences, especially stolen elections!

Biden contradicted himself yesterday when he said he wouldn’t send anymore troops into Afghanistan. Then later he said they will need to send in 8,000 troops to get our people out safely. What?? He is sending in more troops for a rescue mission than originally were being pulled out. He’s a joke.

Biden is an embarrassment to our country and we’ll all pay for it. America got what we deserved for allowing Biden to steal the presidency from Trump. We are now reaping the rewards. Karma comes in many forms. We saw footage of desperate bodies falling from that plane yesterday eerily mirroring the bodies jumping from the World Trade Center. And ironically caused by the Taliban, again. It was chilling.

Biden’s speech yesterday was just a play on words. He kept saying he stands by his plan to bring our troops home from Afghanistan and would not have done anything different. Great. We all stand by that plan. But does he stand by the METHOD it was implemented? I hope not but wouldn’t comment on it just that it escalated faster than they thought. No shit, Sherlock.

And where were those 300,000 Afghan soldiers that were trained by us and promised by Biden to defend their cities? He took no responsibility for anything that he has done or said in the past. The buck doesn’t stop with this president because he’s an arrogant as–ole. And he’s no Harry Truman. Next he’ll be quoting JFK, “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” Wait for it.

Comically, I mused at the 600 citizens crammed in that plane yesterday and wondered what happened to social distancing of covid? Did they test them prior to boarding? Were they wearing masks? The soldiers all have to be vaccinated. Were these escapees vaccinated? Did they show their passports? Seriously all of this just proves that covid restrictions are nothing more than a means to instill fear and control over people; because when there is a clear super spreader like that plane ride, this administration looks the other way. Just like Obama’s birthday bash. Rules for thee, but not for me. The hypocrisy is staggering.

Bottom line is: Terrorists won yesterday and Biden now realizes (although he won’t admit it) that Trump was a much smarter and competent president than he is. Proof’s in the pudding staring him in the face next to his sippy cup at bedtime .

Will Hotels, Ballgames, Stores, Schools, and Restaurants EVER Get Back to Normal?

How many times have we heard the phrase, “Well…due to the pandemic, we can no longer provide” this or that? No water glasses in a hotel room. No mini bar. No coffee pot! Fewer towels. No menus. No poolside dining. No cocktail waitresses. No room service. The pandemic was over but businesses were still using that phrase.

I know of an HOA that closed their spa February 2020 and still haven’t opened it claiming that covid is still around. They make it sound like covid is invisibly lingering in the air above the spa just waiting for the next resident to submerge in the water. And like in a horror movie, it attaches itself to an unsuspecting victim! Cue the theme music from Jaws. “Dun…dunt…dun…dunt.”

After covid is long gone and eradicated will these establishments continue to run their businesses or amenities on the cheap? Obviously with spas shutdown, the gas bills of the HOA go down but the monthly dues don’t. Amazing. I heard in order to get a hotdog at a ballgame you must use a cellphone app. Will schools and businesses still be running a hybrid (limited staff) organization in order to save money? Yes, some restaurants are having trouble filling jobs and; consequently, the service has gone way down but the prices are way up due to food and gasoline prices rising rapidly. Biden has created this mess of fewer people seeking jobs together with inflation. It’s the Perfect Economic Storm.

These organizations have found that they’ve recouped some money during covid by running skeleton crews and not giving guests the service they are accustomed to. But they charge the same, if not more, for rooms, food, and property taxes. This has been a windfall for some businesses, especially school unions, that got money allocated from the stimulus bills when the teachers didn’t spend one day in a classroom.

Things were getting back to semi-normal then the threat of Delta started to emerge. Now we are almost back to square one of the pandemic even though we are mostly vaccinated. So we got vaccinated and still have to endure all these precautions? It doesn’t make sense. And if it doesn’t make sense, it usually isn’t right.

We are slowly hearing of events being cancelled. As I have four family members in the event business (one wedding planner, two musicians, and one mobile marketing planner) this affects their budgeting, itineraries, and travel plans as nothing now is for sure. Last year all their gigs and events got cancelled. This year they got piled on with gigs and events playing catch up, but suddenly out of the blue are being told some may not occur. This is hard on the mental health of these professionals. I’m sure there are plenty of bridezillas out there pulling their hair out about now wondering whether or not to send out their invites. Not fair!

When our government willy nilly imposes these new restrictions (Newsom), they have no idea how it affects the business world. Why? Because they’ve never held a real job in the real world outside of the government. They are insensitive and lack experience or empathy. Do they even realize that most of these companies did not make a profit in 2020 and are hanging by a thread this year? No. And they don’t care. I almost think they want everyone to throw in the towel, go on unemployment again, and forfeit their homes. Tents sales will be the only business booming unless the government is providing them. Wouldn’t put it past them.

Next will be a real estate bust. If companies continue to be in the red and homeowners can’t make their mortgage payment, they will begin to sell when the moratorium ends, then pop goes the bubble. All we wanted to do was get back to normal…real normal…with no masks, no six feet distancing, and no more closures or lockdown threats; but we are experiencing much of the same, even though we are vaccinated. It doesn’t make sense.

Stores still have the same lame arrows showing us how much six feet is; and if we get closer than that, the other shoppers jump. It is getting worse, not better. Build Back Better was Biden’s slogan. He may as well change it to Better Not Build as no one is building anything back better. Costs of supplies have skyrocketed due to higher gasoline prices. What’s better about that? Nothin’ honey.
