The day started well…up at 5am, out the door to the gym by 5:15… Good workout, healthy smoothie for breakfast…then I made the mistake of reading the news and saw this:
WASHINGTON—The Democratic-controlled Senate passed a $95.3 billion package backed by President Biden that contains a fresh round of aid for Ukraine and also funds for Israel and Taiwan, overcoming the objections of many Republicans who opposed spending so much money abroad.
So that’s swell… Our “representatives” push this crap through in the middle of the night and announce it like they did something great for America. Nothing about the tens of thousands of homeless on our streets, the importation of hundreds of thousands of vagrants from all over the globe…
The majority of people in this country are getting CRUSHED by runaway inflation, businesses are closing left and right, and our infrastructure is crumbling, but hey, why not PRINT another 95 BILLION DOLLARS that we don’t have and can’t afford? And then give it away to other countries…right before “tax season”. Sounds like a solid plan. I’m 1000% sure this super genius plan will “save our democracy” and we’ll all live happily ever after. Right?!?!
We are so screwed. The lunatics are most definitely running the asylum, and there is no end in sight. At this point, any hope of a correction is going to take GENERATIONS, with a lot of hard decisions and agony along the way.
I love my country, or I should say I love the founding principles of my country, but I LOATHE my country’s government. Parasites and charlatans, the whole lot of ’em!
Food, water, shelter, energy and a means of self defense. Mental and physical fitness. These are the things I feel I must focus on, and frankly I think we all should.
Think about how crazy 2024 has been so far, and we’re only 7 weeks in! Buckle up friends, we’re in for the ride of our lives this year…
Thanks for stopping by!
