Biden's Bay of Pigs

The Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba was lost because freedom-loving Cubans were sent into battle with the promise of air support, which our country decided at the last minute not to provide. The result was catastrophic. As a result, decades later we are still trying to pick up the pieces in dealing with Cuba (which we lost as a result of military incompetence). United States air power is the single most important element in our international policy. We just lost another country (Afghanistan) because of withholding such power.

Can we drop ship Bush, Cheney to Afghanistan and leave them?

Some things never change. Sad to say. Twenty years ago, I was butting heads with the same people I’m butting heads with now. Twenty years ago, they were in favor of invading Afghanistan (2001) and then Iraq (2003). Stupid. Now, they’re opposed to the COVID vaccines, facemasks, and the right of public school districts to mandate masks this upcoming school term. More stupid. Only difference is, they’re 20 years older, and now they have kids who parrot their idiocy. The demented gene pool lives on while poor people in Afghanistan are dying, much like the Vietnamese did when we abandoned them in 1973.

Andrew Cuomo's Surprise Defender

When New York Attorney General Leticia James issued her report containing the accusations that the governor had acted inappropriately with 12 women, many individuals on both sides of the aisle no doubt rejoiced. One man, however, who has been soundly attacked himself by New York Democrats was appalled. He stated that he had no personal knowledge as to the truth or falsity of the charges, but that the governor was not being treated fairly or lawfully.

Enough is Enough

The challenges we are facing at the border with the immigrants seeking asylum is now a crisis. The finger pointing and political rhetoric from Republicans and Democrats must end and we should come together to find short-term solutions and a response that is humane and secures our border. We must take appropriate action that not only protects migrants but also protects the residents of our communities. All, while at the same time being aware that we are still dealing with a pandemic and our hospitals are again facing both staffing and ICU bed shortages.
