The best thing about Covid is that it has shown us the true nature of our government. Better than that, it has given us a clear look at human nature.
Man is by nature selfish and greedy.
This has been said here over and over. It may simply be an inherent trait of “humanness.” But then even so, we’ve been taught that our ability to think is one of the things that distinguishes us from other species. We’ve also been taught that our ability to reason could temper our baser instincts.
Look closely at Hollywood and our movies. The Hunger Games truly serves as the best example of where our leaders and their Hollywood allies/compadres/cohorts are taking us, what they are depicting as our end result.
Our leaders and mostly all those Hollywood people are—you guessed it—the designed-for and designated inhabitants of the gated, Emerald City.
You’ve seen all the examples. Of course if you watch CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, any of their cable stations or CNN, maybe you haven’t seen them.
So all together, and in general, it is pretty interesting and telling that those who advocate for (and mandate where they can) that we regular people conserve are the very people who have multi-million dollar mansions, private jets and magnificent yachts, not mention their limousines. They’ll tell us to put on a sweater and to keep the heat in our meager little homes at 65 degrees while they heat their huge mansions as they please and cool them in the summer so they never sweat. That’s of course even if they are not living in them and are off to one of their other homes elsewhere.
These are the same people who tell us to conserve gasoline while they fly off to warmer climates in their private jets or sail off in their luxury boats.
That pretty much says it all.
Look at them. Look at us regular people. Hundred dollar a gallon ice cream stored in a twenty-four thousand dollar freezer versus two-for-five sale ice cream stored in a less than thousand dollar refrigerator freezer.
Man is by nature selfish and greedy.
The best thing Covid has done is show us who our leaders are and what our government is.
Lately, I’ve heard the division in our country compared to The Matrix.
Red pill or blue?
Did you hear that the poor, downtrodden and racially discriminated against thus horribly suffering Michelle Obama is having a big birthday bash at their double digit million dollar house hobnobbing with the likes of Oprah and George Clooney? It’s Barack’s birthday bash.
Who are these people kidding?
Man is by nature selfish and greedy. Woman too.

When Hunter’s credit card failed and he couldn’t pay the bill for his 50,000 dollar whore (yes, that’s close to the real cost and what the money was for), Daddy, Joe boy, our whatever-he-is now, at notification and request from the secret service, paid the bill with his charge card.
Nancy Pelosi eats 25 dollar a pint (that’s 100 dollar a quart) ice cream from her 24,000 dollar freezer.
Eric Swalwell has a net worth of 100,000 to 1,000,000 (from being a politician). But he spent 26,000 dollars mostly at the hotel where his wife works. They’re saying it is campaign funds he used for personal purposes. (I wonder if he bedded his Chinese spy girlfriend there and his campaign paid for that too.) He did enjoy limousines, suites and fancy meals.
Gas is up about a dollar a gallon. Many of us real people can’t afford to fill up the tank to go to work, that is if we have to work since the government isn’t giving us handouts like to gives to some.
Food is up.
Oil for heating is up.
Clothes are up and diapers too.
Everything is up in price in what is being called another runaway inflation.
Businesses of course pass on their increased costs.
Biden, who has never worked in the real world and whose family is the most corrupt political crime family ever, lauds the fact that wages are up 6%. But prices are up more than 10%.
Do the math and don’t do the relative math they want you to do.
You think these politicians care about inflation? More than 60% of all of them are multi-millionaires.
And by the way, facebook took me off for saying things like this. Just so you know.
By Peter Weiss
Six months into the Biden whatever-you-call-it, are you happy yet?
From energy independence back to energy dependence, and on our enemies too.
Oil and gas prices up—well you know how much—dramatically to say the least. Begging OPEC to increase production as a result of soaring gas prices and by supporting Russia’s pipeline while closing ours causing our European allies to be dependent upon Russia for at least the next 20 years.
Open support of our enemies and lack of support for our allies.
Lifting of sanctions on China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela and others. Telling Democracy/Freedom seeking Cubans they are not welcome here and will be sent back to Cuba but openly welcoming anyone who might support the Democrats through our southern border which is wide open. And that of course includes those with Covid, those who are gang members, recidivist deportees and political terrorists from all over the world who can get to Mexico.
Tacit and open funding for the drug cartels and human traffickers, no matter how it happens, and then certainly turning a blind eye on it because we know Biden knows it.
Collusion with Facebook to suppress conservative voices, no matter how they frame it. Censorship, pure and simple of anything negative toward the Democrats openly directed by the White House.
Two systems of justice: one for the left and BLM and one for anyone merely suspected of leaning right.
Justice Department and IRS targeting of those leaning right and using the Intelligence agencies to discover (by spying on them) who these people are.
Hyperinflation, especially on most needed items like food, oil, gas, clothes.
Handouts based upon skin color by executive order (now being challenged in court).
Joe Biden: head of the dirtiest, most corrupt political family in history. Silly me! I thought it was the Clintons.
And so it goes.

They say everything dies. When you’re young you generally don’t think about it much, if at all. When you’re older you start to see it coming closer. You start to see that everything does die and days are numbered. If death was something abstract and way off in the distance – you know, like Mars is out there but way out there in outer space – as death gets numerically and statistically closer it becomes more and more real, more concrete.
Some people will get the allusion in the title of this piece. Some people, most I fear, won’t. Probably many kiddos educated in today’s American public education system won’t know what an allusion is. After all, knowing what allusion is isn’t practical, won’t get you anything tangible. That’s good for them since when they bring up Jim Crow those people won’t have a clue about it and will believe them, which is precisely what they wanted and exactly why the title of this piece is so appropriate.
America, the USA, is the Norma Jean in the title.
They make it complicated. But it is really simple.
They speak with forked tongue and act with sleight of hand.
In his whatever-you-thought-of-it whispers not too long ago, Biden whispered that we’ll be getting substantial checks for child credit in the mail starting in July.
What Biden didn’t say was that that money won’t then be there for us come tax time next year.
If you actually pay taxes, which only about half of us do, your refund will be significantly less since you’ve gotten the child tax credit in advance. If you don’t pay any taxes at all your earned tax income profit from the Feds this year will be significantly lessened.
Sleight of hand: getting the child tax credit sounded good in that whisper, if a little creepy at the same time, but it won’t be good in the end for most people, and that’s mostly the people who really need the money or can’t handle money or have no sense of saving money for needed goods. In the end they will end up more needy.
We are living in evil times.
Our enemies are continually strengthening.
Here at home we have a Manchurian Candidate president and a laughing hyena vice president who is incompetent at best.
They are being “run,” not guided or led, by a greedy, power-hungry political party that is in cahoots with globalist multi-billionaires who control our media and our technology. Or, that party in conjunction with those greedy multi-billionaires feed us false narratives only to enrich and empower themselves.
It is really simple.
Capitalism, Democracy, police, white supremacy and systemic racism are not to blame here. They are straw issues presented by them continually to divide and subterfuge us.
Greedy, power-hungry technology and media multi-billionaires with global personal economic interests have gotten into bed with greedy, power-hungry politicians on the left. The demise of America is in their best interests, not the best interests of the 99% of regular Americans.
So Good-Bye Norma Jean.
Kudos to Barack Obama who has accomplished what he said he would, the fundamental change of America.
Nobody said it would be a good change, even a change for the better.
America is on its deathbed, so Good-Bye Norma Jean.

Call me old fashioned.
I was taught that nobody owes me anything.
I was taught to work for my living.
I was taught to be responsible financially.
Being financially responsible meant not going to a paying school until I could get a work-study program that fully paid my way except for books. But I did have to work 30 hours a week while going to school and because I worked summers too I earned enough to pay for my books.
I was taught that I had to pay my own way for my dream. If what I wanted to do or be didn’t make me any money, tough shit, get a job so I could do it. No one owed me my own personal fulfillment.
I was taught not to live beyond my means. If I couldn’t afford something, I shouldn’t buy it. I was taught not to borrow what I couldn’t pay back.
I was taught in school. I was taught reading, writing and arithmetic. I was taught to think for myself. I wasn’t taught what to think, what to believe, etc. That stuff was clearly and purposefully left for my parents to teach me.
I was taught that feelings aren’t facts, that facts are facts and interpretation of facts are just that, interpretation. Or, two plus two is four. It’s not four sometimes. It is not four based upon who I am, what my beliefs are or where I live.
Call me old fashioned. I was taught that government exists to protect its citizens.
Bottom line, our government should do that, protect its citizens, and then it should get the hell out of our lives and leave us alone to be individually free and self-sufficient.
Yes, call me old fashioned. This new world, new normal stuff stuff…
Call me old fashioned.

China is building its military and its economy. It doesn’t care about controlling carbon emissions. It is threatening Japan, Hong Kong and expanding in the South China Sea. It is intent upon controlling the world. And that doesn’t even mention Covid.
In one simple tirade and with the stroke of a pen Biden has made Europe energy-dependent upon Russia for the next two decades at least. He’s also empowered and enriched Iran (again), the world leader in terrorism.
Then he stands there in Europe and tells our military and the world America’s greatest threat is climate change.

A week ago was Memorial Day. We celebrated and honored all those who gave their lives for our country. Rightfully so.
I said then that there has never been another country like America. That is so true. We admit we have shortcomings and we work on them. We are the most generous country ever. We consistently work at bettering ourselves and the world and we contribute to that ceaselessly.
In 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell, the United States became the only world power, the sole super power. With our allies we could have taken over the world. Without our allies we still could have done this.
But we didn’t.
- Critical race theory
- Open borders (that they repeatedly say are closed)
- Government regulation based upon skin color/enforcement of the law based upon one’s politics and/or color
- Redistribution of wealth/reparations
- Trump supporters indiscriminately labeled as fascists and white supremacists
- Social media censoring conservative voices
- Mainstream media outright lying to their viewers and openly biased in their reporting
- Police being the criminals and criminals set free with no penalties
Do you think those brave people who died for America in the past would recognize her now?
By Peter Weiss
First, I salute and celebrate our soldiers, all our people in our Armed Forces. I honor them all and especially honor those who so unselfishly gave their lives.
This is unequivocal.
I do not apologize for America.
I am not ashamed of my country or what it stands for.
Despite its shortcomings, I am proud of my country. I am proud of what it does for the world. No other country does what it does, is as generous as it is.
Period.
To those of you who have forgotten this, don’t believe it or would tear America down, America allows you to leave any time you want. Don’t let the door hit you where The Good Lord split you.

We used to call them armchair liberals. They sat in their cozy arm chairs in their comfortable living rooms and made decisions that changed the lives of the everyday people but which didn’t affect them at all.
We used to think of them as a class as the Politburo in Russia, then the Soviet Union, those super-wealthy oligarchs who ran everything for their own benefit.
Nowadays, it isn’t them. It is the political class in Washington, that group of Senators and Congressmen who rule us. They don’t lead us anymore. They rule us. They are multimillionaires, most of them, much more than half of them. Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry are good examples. How did Maxine Waters afford a 5 million dollar house on her 175,000 dollar salary?
Nowadays they are the Hollywood elites, the broadcast media moguls and broadcasters and of course big tech people.
Nowadays they are professional athletes many of whom have gone from extreme poverty to mega-millions just for dunking a basketball. That’s quite a contrast to Ben Carson who did it because of good parenting, hard work, education, intelligence, talent and perseverance.
So when they, they being those above, tell us we need to have severe gun restrictions, they are surely not giving up their personal, armed bodyguards and secret service complement. While they keep our kids out of school, their kids are going to private school and in-person learning. When they tell us to conserve, note that Michael Bloomberg has taken more than 1700 trips in his private jets in the last four years gallivanting around to his multimillion dollar mansions throughout the world. And we all know that John Kerry just plain told us that he was more important than we are so he could fly on his personal plane.
We have to conserve to support their affluence, not for the reasons they tell us to.
So which shoes do you wear?
Are you one of those armchair liberals who can afford an electric car or the increased price of gas? Who Can pay out of pocket for medical and mental health services so as not to wait to be seen or have to worry about not getting seen when you really need to be seen? Who doesn’t have to worry about food prices, energy prices, inflation as a whole? Who touts all that liberal free stuff for the little people (like me) and for anyone and everyone the liberal Democrats want to let into the country and have the little people like me pay for? You one of those whose kids are in private school and not schooling with the illegals?
Now a little anecdote.
I’ve been mentioning I work in the mental health field in one of those liberal blue states. Our demand is up 150 percent from last year. Our resources have remained the same. If you need a therapist or medication management or a neuropsychological examination, right now there’s nothing available if you are on Medicaid or government sponsored insurance. A wait list could be eight months or more. Kids are waiting 50 days for a bed in an ER after having a mental health crisis and all the while suicide ideation and self harm are increasing dramatically.
Which shoes do you wear?
You one of those armchair liberals who marches into the office and pays with cash for immediate service? Or are you the mom who asks who is gonna help me after my kid kills himself because s/he couldn’t get seen in time?
Let’s get real.
The Big Democrat Lie pretty much speaks for itself. They move their lips, they lie. We would all know it if not for the biased media. And if you believe the mainstream media, you better start learning Chinese and behaving the way they want you to.
Don’t believe me? Just keep your head in the sand and keep sucking up their kool aid.
By Peter Weiss
So it goes like this.
From energy independence under Trump we now are back to where we were, buying gas from Russia where the hackers who crippled the eastern seaboard fuel-wise reside.
Russia supports Iran who sends the rockets to Hamas who is bombing Israel, our ally.
Or we are supporting our enemies in attacking our allies.
Fuel shortage, runaway inflation highest gas prices since Obama and more and more illegals every day that our tax dollars are supporting when our own kids aren’t in school and those on regular health insurance, unlike our leaders, have to wait months and months for mental health services and to see a specialist.
The Big Democrat Lie pretty much speaks for itself. They move their lips, they lie. We would all know it if not for the biased media. And if you believe the mainstream media, you better start learning Chinese and to behave the way they want you to.
