Will There Be Enough Rope to Save Us

I feel we will be looking back at yesterday, May 18, as the day we passed the point of no return. Domestically, internationally, and monetarily, the hammer came down and what remains is barely recognizable.

We could ask Karine to comment, but there is no page in her book with a vague enough answer for her to read. We are on our own to solve this conundrum.

Halfway around the world, we saw a portion of Ukraine fall into Russian control while one of their own confessed to murdering and committing war crimes against the Ukrainian people. At the same time, Finland and Sweden changed the make-up of Europe by applying for membership in NATO. Putin threatened to retaliate against such a strengthening of Europe, but that may be idle talk with his losses in Ukraine.

As 4:30 PM approached, we watched in fear and disgust as the closing bell sounded to end one of the worst days ever on Wall Street. Those past or approaching retirement age watched their 401k dissolve and were left to reflect on how or whether they could ever recoup the losses. The reality then dawned that we may not have hit the bottom of this Biden Spiral of Incompetence. I will take credit for that phrase and use it going forward. Before yesterday, I planned to work two more years and then fully retire. That two years will now not be enough. Thank you, Joe.

I listened to the list of our country’s most successful companies and how Biden’s failing policies have impacted them. Netflix is down 71%, while Disney is minus 39%. These two companies are experiencing self-inflicted WOKE pains and Biden jabs. Target lost 20% in one day due to inflation concerns. So much for Biden’s inflation is transitory. It will soon reclassify as a recession. Apple, America’s most valuable company, has dropped 40% from its 52-week high. The window locks are being checked in many office buildings around the country.

Things at home range from maddening to insane as the New York Post front page has declared the country Joe Biden’s Train Wreck. He continues to blame all he can on the Pandemic and Putin, but nobody is buying it. Putin is not the President of the United States. Unfortunately, Joe Biden is. Every day brings new record-high gas prices, and now the average price at the pumps is over $4 a gallon in all 50 states. A gas chain in Washington state is retooling its pumps to accommodate prices over $10 a gallon. Hopefully an overreaction and not a harbinger of things to come. There is now talk of gas rationing, and mothers are frantically seeking formula for their hungry babies. If Biden feared school board moms, he should be paranoid to death of new mothers with hungry babies.

An abortion advocate testified before Congress that a woman was anyone who identifies as one and that a man can get pregnant and have an abortion. She could not differentiate between killing a baby after birth or while it was still eight inches inside the mother’s birth canal. Biden was thankful someone could be that stupid to take the pressure and attention from him.

The only person happy about yesterday is Jen Psaki, as she did not have to address the country and lie about all of yesterday’s woes. But can anything be as sad as watching Karine Jean-Pierre searching for answers to read from her briefing book? If this was a bad TV show, we could shut it off or change the channel. Unfortunately, this is all the reality of a single day, and no one thinks we can say tomorrow will be better.
