·        According to our incoherent nitwit of a Vice President, “The Border Is Secure.” That was her claim on Democratic operative Chuck Todd’s Meet the Press show on Sunday. You might think that she would have been prepared for that question, but you would be wrong. As Scott Johnson so aptly says, “She is a glorified idiot one heartbeat away from the job currently occupied by the guy with half a mind to be president.”

·        Prince Charles is now King Charles III. He’s still, unfortunately, a nitwit climatista, and not known as an intellectual giant, but in his favor is the fact that his favorite whisky is supposedly Laphroaig 15, so I’ll cut him a modicum of slack. I believe he is the oldest king ever to ascend the throne. He has some large shoes to fill and hopefully he will devote himself to ceremonial and patriotic endeavors and leave the activism to the other nitwits.

·        As I’ve said, when you take your energy policy from politicians and teenagers it may not work out so well. After all but appointing Greta Thunberg as Eurozone energy secretary, European governments and citizens are gearing up for a worsening energy crisis. California is trying their best to keep up with them. And they laughed when President Trump warned them what would happen. Idiots! This is a very good synopsis of what is going on in Europe and how it affects domestic natural gas prices, which have risen from under $2/MMBTU to nearly $9 right now.  

·        This just doesn’t fit the anti=gun narrative. A survey shows that defensive gun use is four times more common than violent gun crime.

·        Meanwhile the incompetents managing American energy policy are considering extending oil releases from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve past election day. After all, it is only sitting at 40-year lows and the Democrats are potentially looking at a major bloodbath in November. The Biden administration just blocked oil drilling leases on almost 60,000 acres in South Dakota, North Dakota and Montana. Quote from US Oil & Gas Assoc. Chief, Tim Stewart, “most unfavorable political and regulatory environment for our industry I have ever seen.”

·        Revolutionary Drinking: A Day-Long Experiment in Colonial Boozing. Hilarious! Our forefathers were known to take a drink…or two. George Washington’s expense account for the Revolutionary War included an amazing amount for fortified wines. Washington refused any salary for leading the Continental Army, asking only that Congress pay his expenses.

George Washington: “As to pay, sir, I beg leave to Assure the Congress that a no pecuniary consideration could have tempted me to have accepted this Arduous employment (at the expense of my domesttic (sic) ease and happiness) I do not wish to make any Proffit (sic) from it. I will keep an exact Account of my expenses. Those I double not they will discharge, and that is all I desire.”

For the eight years of the war against British tyranny, General Washington turned in an expense account of $449, 261.51. When he offered the same deal to the country after his first election as President – no salary, but only expenses – Congress turned George Washington down flat. I highly recommend the book.

George Washington: “As to pay, sir, I beg leave to Assure the Congress that a no pecuniary consideration could have tempted me to have accepted this Arduous employment (at the expense of my domesttic (sic) ease and happiness) I do not wish to make any Proffit (sic) from it. I will keep an exact Account of my expenses. Those I double not they will discharge, and that is all I desire.”

·        If you are a certain age, like mine, you grew up on Red Skelton. For those of you who aren’t familiar with him, this is an appearance on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He was a class act.
