Thoughts On Ballistics

…and our decrepit institutions:

We don’t know much this Monday AM. Some of what we think we know will in time prove incorrect. We will find out more details in the days and weeks to come – but what is clear is this; we have too many people in this nation who are OK with political violence – including that which digs a bloody trench from Eugene Simpson Stadium Park to the Butler Farms Show Grounds.

We also know that we have – again – evidence that we have the wrong people with the wrong ideas running institutions they are unqualified to lead and that our nation cannot afford such a lack of effective stewardship of our inheritance.

The number of unserious people in critical jobs, and no one being accountable for failures of epic proportions, is – to repeat myself for emphasis – a national disgrace and crisis.

It’s been deteriorating for a long time, under both Democrats and Republicans, but it’s reached new lows in recent years.

A compromised Secret Service.

No matter how much training or experience she has (and these people didn’t seem particularly competent), it’s stupid to think that a 5’3″ woman can shield a 6’3″ man.

The Coverup

A short history.

It’s not possible to hate these awful people enough.

“Well, anyway.”

As noted, the Democrats have given Republicans many great campaign quotes on Biden’s unfitness. They can’t unwrite and unsay them. And I love the look on poor Meloni’s face when Biden calls Zelensky “Putin.”

BTW, if you want to get completely snockered in a Biden speech, take a swig at every “Look,” and “Anyway.” They’re verbal ticks that he can’t avoid when he doesn’t know what to say next, or when his train of thought derails.

“Our Brezhnev, our Pravda, our Soviet Union.”

I sure wish this didn’t sound completely plausible.

Joe Biden and a tear in the fabric.
