DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: A little bit of this and that...

I have never been the biggest fan of Michael Douglas, but the other day I heard him say, “This political system has been hijacked to assure those with power keep it.”

What do you think of those words, do you think it’s true?

I read some statistics reporting only two percent of Americans trust elections in the USA to work as they should. 

AND CONGRESS HAS AN APPROVAL RATING OF A PATHETIC 20%

Here is another doozy that I heard a few days ago coming from Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy’s mouth.

“So let me ask you again” he said. “How have they done? Are you better off?

“What has two years of one party democratic rule in Washington given us? 

“Now let me state the obvious our economy is now in a recession.”

McCarthy laid out what he called “facts.”

Supply chains are collapsing.

Our transportation system is completely dysfunctional.

Air travel has never been more unpredictable.

Families go to the grocery store to find empty shelves.

Necessities like baby formula has been impossible to find, which means many children can’t get the nutrition they need.

“If you can find what you need at the store it costs more, a lot more,” McCarthy said. 

“Food prices are up more than 13%, the highest increase ever. 

“We are told again and again by Washington that it is temporary.  

“The historic spending binge of Joe Biden and his Democratic Congress has brought the greatest inflation crisis to this nation in generations. 

“Democrats spent your money on wasteful projects including millions on ski resorts and luxury hotels and even spending $1 million of hardworking taxpayer money on stimulus checks to violent criminals in prison.

“And yes, they even sent one to the Boston bomber. This has only driven inflation higher…”

SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THAT?

I know, I know, for all my democratic friends out there, McCarthy is a damn Republican and you guys miss Nancy Pelosi. 

Okay, but do you believe what McCarthy is saying, because it sure looks to be true from a few seats over on this side of the house.

Hey, maybe it is both political parties that have completely hijacked America. 

That could be much more accurate than anyone wants to believe.

Oh yes, and let’s not forget while we were being distracted by the little submarine that went to see the Titanic and failed well, while mainstream media was distracting everyone by that what else was happening that Americans got sidetracked from paying attention to as usual?

Let’s see, that would be the fact Bill Gates was given approval according to a report to begin selling 157 synthetic lab grown meats – remember all that darn farmland he bought up in America?

To be exact, the Microsoft co-founder is now known to be the largest private owner of farmland in the United States, owning around 269,000 acres across many states, as reported by the Land Report 100 in May 2022. 

And all this food he is preaching and promoting (remember he also promoted the COVID-19 vaccine in case you forgot) well, the man is an investor personally or through Breakthrough Energy Ventures in several food companies including Beyond Meats, Carbon Engineering, Impossible Foods, Memphis Meats, and Pivot Bio.

So if you see those labels on anything; meat, produce, etc. … at the store, run like a banshee in the opposite direction.

Gates needs to stay in his own lane for a change because his vaccine commentary was deadly, and this food experiment could be just as deadly too.

And the other things Americans might have missed while diving into the ocean with the media who spent a few extra days with outlandish headlines milking the submarine story – there were articles of impeachment for Biden voted in, JP Morgan bank was fined for deleting 47 million emails and coincidentally just after that Epstein case they had going on too – go figure.

WHAT ELSE? 

A big, fat dangerous submarine from Russia that can cause massive tsunamis went missing from its home, and Hunter Biden got a slap on the wrist for what he has been doing – and the American people are being played as fools.

Oh yea, and the US somehow reportedly gave Ukraine another $6.8 million (is that war seriously still going on and are Americans still delusional about what is actually going on there)?

So, there you go, let’s take bets on this week’s diversion?

Are or we tired enough of being played the fool yet? It’s about time.
