Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

Be grateful you're not Joe Biden - because the bureaucracy is not going to obey you, the media is going to eat you alive, and the Democratic Party is not going to remain united behind you? What has this guy been smoking? The bureaucracy is 100% behind increasing their power, as is Joe, the media is 100% behind covering for Biden, the Democrats are well-known for their ability to crack the whip and keep their soldiers in line, unlike the GOP. I don't believe any of this is true.
What is true is that Biden is a senile old fool who's never had an original thought in his life and definitely is not going to be calling the shots and there's going to be a lot of infighting over just who gets to call the shots. But not to worry, Biden is not going to be President for long. The guy marching at the front of the parade isn't necessarily the guy who chose the route. Old Joe is going to learn this in the next few weeks.
There were some good points that got lost in a lot of Pollyannaish prose, for sure.
The point about infighting between "Dr." Jill and Harris was a good one. So was the comment on his mental and physical condition. It's not going to get any better going forward, and the press can only cover for him hiding in the White House basement for so long. Ditto Trump and Obama, and maybe even Clinton (either one) possibly making life difficult for him. Their comments will get aired by their allies in the media, and they won't all be positive. He's already walking back some campaign promises, and that's another thing that's not going to get better as time goes on. I think the big unknown is COVID. The situation could improve given the vaccine and a decreasing population of people susceptible but the Democrats have a lot invested in the claim that Trump ignored easy commonsense things that would have mitigated the virus. To the degree that the situation doesn't improve rapidly after Biden takes office there are going to be a lot of people disappointed. Having learned almost categorically that lockdowns are not the answer for public health concerns and are devestating to local economies, blue-state politicians and other progressive leaders across the world are responding to a new COVID strain with.....more lockdowns.
Having learned definitively that children suffer terribly from isolation, that their education and childhood development is being harmed, and that they are least likely to suffer from COVID ill effects, education leaders exhort longer school closures to ensure everyone is "safe". Sometimes, they do this from a beach in the Caribbean, as they continue to not miss a paycheck for not being in the classroom. Having rolled out a COVID vaccine in record-breaking time (not even close), the administering of the vaccine to the population is now becoming mired in the convoluted regulations of blue-state political leaders, with doses expiring before they can be productively given. Then, we have two career politicians with dubious election results who throughout their career have been caught plagiarizing the great words of historical figures of significance, and passing them off as their own, to self-aggrandize their political standing - without once considering the simple exercise that can reveal their plagiarism. Note in the most recent instance, it was a private citizen journalist that caught the offense, not a professional journalist using the tools of the institution to quickly conduct a database Nexus search. The ruling class is obtuse and comfortably stupid - or, they are comfortable with the conclusion that you are. They really are indifferent to what you're going through, as long as they are getting their cut. The EPA has finally decided to not use "secret science" in their policy decisions. "Secret science" is those studies where the people conducting the study refuse to show any of their data or how they used it to get their results. This decision is controversial!! Guess who opposes this; the Warmists of course.
Joe's just a placeholder for Kamala.
#3: So, it's lies all the way down and all the way up? Why am I NOT surprised... DC and the Vaccine: WHY am I not surprised... Andrew Cuomo's Vaccine Distribution Rules Are a Threat to Public Health: , It's ALL Cuomo, all the time, and always wrong. "On the surface, it might seem that Joe Biden is king of the world": But how's Joe gonna know????? I agree with the Biden article. The Dems are going to regret the Biden\Harris\Pelosi Triumvirate. I believe it will cost them considerably over the long run. I just hope they do not fill up body bags in the process.
Don't matter a hill of beans what happens to Biden.
We lost, they won. The shackles are off the beast. Bend over and prepare to be entered. And you best love having them all up inside you or your a racist. Enjoy. Uhhh, thanks. I was wondering how to face this pleasant sunny day in Florida.
re Alibaba Founder Jack Ma Has Been Missing For 2 Months
I wonder what happened to him? QUOTE: The FT reported a few days ago that Ma had been abruptly replaced by an Alibaba executive for the taping of the finale of his show "Africa's Business Heroes". Mr Ma was replaced as a judge in the final of Africa’s Business Heroes, a television contest for budding entrepreneurs, his photograph was removed from the judging webpage, and he was conspicuously left out of a promotional video. So is he sick? Has he been arrested or is he being 'rehabilitated'? One wonders what the elite rich in China think of this? If you make too much money in China does that make you a threat to the state? I can't help but think that if Ma has been arrested, it is yet another signal from Xi that he values party loyalty over innovation and economic growth. If that is indeed the case then China's best years may already be behind them. Or maybe he's just too busy making money to go out in public? Here is video showing that he is out defeating evildoers with his kung fu:
Gong Shou Dao - Official Film All is well. It was 60 years ago next week that a president left the white house with a warning of things to come. It is ironic that his warning becomes a reality when Biden is sworn in. It already has. You can see that when you read about the defense secretaries of the past rolling back Pres. Trump's accomplishments. These past 10 secretaries of defense are most clearly THE Military--Industrial Complex we were warned about so man-years ago.
Eisenhower's speech https://www.c-span.org/video/?15026-1/president-dwight-eisenhower-farewell-address Governor Cuomo needs to install Comrade Kaprugina to oversee distribution of the vaccine.
Am I being too paranoid to suggest Gov. Cuomo really doesn't want a successful rollout of the vaccine in New York state, just so long as he can blame others?
