“No mas” – Mexico Says They are Overwhelmed with Illegal Migrants, President Obrador Wants Emergency Meeting with Joe Biden


Posted originally on the CTH on September 22, 2023 | Sundance 

You know things are bad when the Mexican government says they are overwhelmed at their southern border with 10,000 global migrants arriving daily en route to the United States southern border.

The Mexicans are looking for Joe Biden to try and stem the flow; while the White House says, ‘Listen Fats, nothing to see here‘…

(Barrons) – Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has requested a bilateral meeting with his US counterpart to discuss the migration crisis that has “overwhelmed” his country, his foreign minister said Friday.

The meeting would occur in Washington when Lopez Obrador attends a summit of Latin American leaders, to be convened by US President Joe Biden on November 3.

Lopez Obrador wants to discuss “legal paths” to address the humanitarian situation facing hundreds of thousands of people who have recently attempted to make their way to the United States and to study the ways in which they can request asylum, as well as work visas for the agricultural sector.

Mexico is being “overwhelmed” by the arrival of migrants to its territory, Mexican Foreign Minister Alicia Barcena said at a press conference during the UN General Assembly in New York.

Around 9,000 arrive at the country’s southern border every day, around 3,000 of whom have traversed the Darien Gap, a dense jungle on the border between Colombia and Panama.

Another 8,000 arrive at the northern border with the United States every day. “Yesterday 11,000 arrived,” Barcena said. “This exceeds any capacity, no matter how much Mexico wants to do a good job.”

This year Mexico expects to process 140,000 asylum applications.

“It’s overwhelming,” Barcena stated, pointing to the money she said Mexico spends to support these migrants while they apply for documents to enter the United States, find employment, or return to their countries of origin after rejection by the United States.

“We need help,” she said, urging Washington to lift sanctions on Venezuela to help curb the exodus of migrants.

She also called for action in the Darien Gap, because “it is where the largest flow of migrants” from Venezuela comes through, pushing for coordination with Panama and Colombia. (read more)

This is likely the reason why Obama is retreating from supporting Joe Biden. The arsonist watches from the field.

The Cloward-Piven strategy is all about overwhelming the systems, and then letting government step in to fix the crisis they create.

Never let a good crisis go to waste“, and if you don’t have one, create one.

New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, Chairman of Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, Indicted for Bribery and Corruption Again


Posted originally on the CTH on September 22, 2023 | Sundance 

Not even close to defending this dirtbag who was previous ties to sex trafficking and Epstein level degeneracy; however, given the nature of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee (SFAC), it does make you wonder why exactly they want to take him down now.

What is going on in the background of the DC deep state, that they would want to take out the New Jersey senator?  What’s the other move?  Perhaps asking who is in the DNC pipeline from New Jersey, may reveal some context.

Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Bob Menendez was indicted for bribery, corruption and using his position in power to enrich himself through payments by foreign actors.  This isn’t the first time his propensity to sell influence for financial gain has surfaced, but this is the one likely to take him out. [Read Indictment Here]

The gold bars are a nice touch.

Menendez has long been known as a deep DC corrupt actor; this is not new.  However, the existence of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee is based on the participants selling U.S. policy and influence for their personal financial gains.  New York Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer knew this when he put Menendez into the Chair position. A position formerly held by Joe Biden, who did the same thing as Menendez albeit with a greater level of plausible deniability.

WASHINGTON DC – […] The indictment published Friday accuses Menendez (D-N.J.) and his now-wife Nadine of having a corrupt relationship with three New Jersey businessmen: Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes. He’s accused of accepting money, a luxury car and lavish gifts in exchange for using his power to help them and the Egyptian government. (read more)

And today is just another Friday; meaning that’s what the SFAC does.  Menendez was, perhaps, more conspicuous about it.  Perhaps that was the problem.

WASHINGTON DC – […] During a search of the Menendezes’ New Jersey home in June 2022, federal agents probing the alleged scheme found “over $480,000 in cash — much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe” along with $70,000 in Nadine Menendez’s safe-deposit box, the indictment says.

The indictment — the culmination of years of investigation by federal prosecutors in New York — is the latest legal blow for New Jersey’s senior senator and the powerful chair of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Menendez has survived two previous federal investigations. (read more)

I do not mean to be overly cynical; however, at a certain point you do eventually have to stop the pretending game.

The Senate Foreign Affairs Committee (SFAC) is structurally designed to sell U.S. foreign policy.  We all know the game of multinational corporations positioning their investment assets in various countries based on the expectation of U.S. foreign policy to support those investments.  It is inside this network of long-established relationships that all of the various quid-pro-quos originate.

The Senate chamber as an institution is where most of the generational level corruption emanates; when the 17th amendment was created, this was the function and purpose for the constitutional change as organized by banking interests.  In the decades since inception, the corruption within the upper chamber has become systemic.  The Senate became entirely predicated on having greater power within the legislative branch.

Inside this institutional system, each Senate committee has an operational objective in alignment with the interests of the DC business.  The Senate is detached from any operational function that would be considered representative of the American voter.  The Senate Intel Committee supports the weaponized intelligence state. The Senate Finance and Banking committee supports the interests of big banks, who then reward the committee members.  The Senate Judiciary Committee is structured to lean into the corruption needed in the Judicial branch, by controlling appointments and nominations.  And so it goes, and so it goes.

Every member on the SFAC uses their position for personal and familial gain.  For their specific expertise, the SFAC funding mechanism is by foreign governments and multinational corporations with foreign policy interests. It’s what they do.  Menendez is charged with the crime of doing what the Senate Foreign Affairs committee does; participate in bribery and corruption – although the pretending term is “lobbying.”

So, what’s the play?  What’s going on in the background that would permit the system to remove Menendez? … and why now?

That’s where the focus should be.

WASHINGTON – […] Allegedly Menendez, starting in mid-2018, privately maintained close relations with Egyptian officials and businesspeople and readily shared sensitive information with his associates about U.S. policy toward Cairo.

In May 2018, Menendez allegedly disclosed to Hana at a private dinner that a U.S. government ban on sales of small arms and ammunition to Egypt has been lifted, which Hana passed on to the Egyptian official.

Later that month, Menendez allegedly ghost-wrote Cairo’s lobbying pitch to other U.S. senators seeking support for the release of $300 million in U.S. aid to Egypt.

In July, after meeting with Egyptian military officials, Menendez allegedly had Nadine tell Hana that he was signing off on the sale of 46,000 120mm target practice rounds and 10,000 rounds of tank ammunition worth $99 million.

“NOTE: These tank rounds are for tanks they have had for many years. They are using these in the Sinai for the counter-terrorism campaign,” Menendez allegedly said in a text to Nadine, which she forwarded to Hana.

The State Department two months later announced it had approved the sale of the package of General Dynamics-made high-explosive and armor-piercing rounds, to help Cairo fight Islamic State militants, and the target rounds, to train M1 Abrams tank crews. (read more)

Banned Books – A Reading by Senator Kennedy


Armstrong Econonomics Blog/WOKE Re-Posted Sep 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

I saw a woman wearing a rainbow “I read banned books” shirt. Decades ago, less even, perhaps I would have asked what was in her library. Today, the banned books are merely woke propaganda intent on confusing the youth, steering them away from organized religion and tradition. The banned school books are vulgar tools to make children question their identity and GROOM them to understand sinister aspects of sexuality before they hit puberty.

Senator John Kennedy has never been one to shy away from the truth. The video above shows Kennedy reading from a book that has no place in the hands of children. The school board clutched their pearls and became irate with Kennedy for reading excerpts of various books. Why should we allow children to read pornographic books in school that are too crude for adults? It has absolutely no educational value.

The libs say claim that banning books is equivalent to the Third Reich burning all literary pieces that did not fit the Nazi agenda. They want the masses to believe that the right is simply banning books because they hate gays and are narrow-minded bigots. But just listen to the passages in these books – it is graphic pedophilia gay pornography. PEN America and the American Library Association has made it their mission to prevent future book bans. The organization states on its website:

“Books are under profound attack in the United States. They are disappearing from library shelves, being challenged in droves, being decreed off limits by school boards, legislators, and prison authorities. And everywhere, it is the books that have long fought for a place on the shelf that are being targeted. Books by authors of color, by LGBTQ+ authors, by women. Books about racism, sexuality, gender, history. PEN America pushes back against the banning of books and the intolerance, exclusion, and censorship that undergird it.”

Pen America is even suing various publishing houses for not providing schools with this filth. Pen America is funded by numerous liberal philanthropists and organizations. The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation donated $750,000 recently, and is hosting an event next week called “Reading, Power, and Freedom,” to discuss placing smut books in schools. One of the keynote speakers edits “Gender & Sexuality in Information Studies,” so clearly we know where her focus lies. All of their donors happen to be fixated on sexuality and strongly believe small children should be exposed to this deranged commentary.

Again, the message Kennedy read in the video above is too disturbing to repeat. I cannot imagine explaining that message to a young child. No one at the board meeting wanted to answer Kennedy when he asked if these passages were appropriate in an educational setting. “You come here and say censorship is bad, and of course it’s bad,” Mr. Kennedy said. “But the obvious response is— you heard the books we’re talking about. We’re not talking about “Catcher in the Rye.” So tell me, who gets to decide? And all I’ve heard is the librarians. And parents have nothing to do with it. and if that’s your response, what planet did you just parachute in from?”

Sunday Talks – Senator Mark Warner Says SSCI Bill to Block All Presidents from Fourth Branch Classified Intelligence Close to Completion


Posted originally on the CTH on September 17, 2023 | Sundance 

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) created the systems that permit intelligence weaponization.  The SSCI is the organizational institution that supports the Fourth Branch of Government, the intelligence branch.  Keep in mind, the SSCI previously created a bipartisan “Restrict Act,” to deal with what they deemed dangerous information on the internet (under auspices of TikTok ban).  SSCI Chairman Mark Warner is the current enabler of the continued weaponized intel operations.

In this video segment below, notice how Chairman Warner leads off his remarks.  Two flares triggered.  First, you can tell by his response, that President Trump’s “classified documents” were exactly what we thought they were; evidence against those who constructed the Trump-Russia claims from inside govt.  Second, notice how Warner now wants to block any President from controlling intelligence as defined by the Fourth Branch.  This stuff is getting brutally obvious.  WATCH:

“I’ve got bipartisan legislation that would reform the whole classification process. We way overclassify. We, frankly, should have a process in place so that no president or vice president ever takes documents after they leave office.” 

MARGARET BRENNAN: We turn now to Virginia Democrat Mark Warner. He is the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Great to have you here.

REP. MARK WARNER (D-VA): Thank you, Margaret.

MARGARET BRENNAN: I have to pick up where your Republican colleague just left off. Are the Trump and Biden classified documents that were in their personal possession, and not in controlled areas, equally egregious?

MARK WARNER: Well, Margaret, three things quickly. One, the administration took way too long to get us these documents. Two, while Mike and I have a great working relationship, I believe, based on the documents I’ve seen, that there is a difference in terms of the potential abuse that came from the Trump documents. And, third, it’s one of the reasons why I’ve got bipartisan legislation that would reform the whole classification process. We way overclassify. We, frankly, should have a process in place so that no president or vice president ever takes documents after they leave office. That is kind of the lowest common fruit.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

MARK WARNER: We ought to get that passed. We’ve got part of that in the intel authorization bill and I hope becomes the law of the land so we can prevent this from happening going forward.

MARGARET BRENNAN: You’ve said based on documents you’ve seen, but you want to see more documents?

MARK WARNER: We have actually — I’m about at 98 percent satisfaction at this point.

MARGARET BRENNAN: OK, 98 percent satisfaction.

There’s a lot more on the national security front that we’re tracking right now, including this potential prisoner swap with Iran to bring five Americans home. Are you comfortable with the trade?

MARK WARNER: I’ve not gotten the brief. The Senate Intel Committee has not gotten the brief. We will be getting it shortly.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Wasn’t the staff briefed?

MARK WARNER: Well, I can tell you, I have not been personally briefed.

MARGARET BRENNAN: You weren’t? OK.

MARK WARNER: I think we need to start with the premise, it’s always the policy of our country to try to bring back Americans, who are held hostage. That was not only under Biden, it was Trump, it was Obama, Bush. I want to hear what kind of constraints are being put on in this exchange in terms of what has been reported of the $6 billion that was South Korean payments to Iran that would be released. I want to hear that and get those details before I weigh in further.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Because you have concern that money is fungible and there could be abuse?

MARK WARNER: I – you know, there is obviously — money is fungible. The administration has said there are guardrails. I want to get a better description of those guardrails first.

MARGARET BRENNAN: You have been very active on artificial intelligence. And we talked about this back in January.

Microsoft just announced a few days ago that China has a new capability to automatically generate images for use in influence operations to mimic American voters across the political spectrum and create controversy along racial, economic and ideological lines. How much of a risk is this to our upcoming elections?

MARK WARNER: It’s an enormous risk. And artificial intelligence, I’ve spent as much time on this I think as any member of the Senate, and I never spent something where you — the more time I spend, in certain ways the more confused I get. The whole economics around these large language models, which used to be, you know, who had the most data, who had the most compute power would win. That fundamentally changed after Facebook released its so- called llama model into the wild in the spring.

We just had a major session, Leader Schumer put together, had the kind of the who’s who in the room. And what it – what I’m concerned about is even the AI leaders who say they want rules, guardrails, I’m concerned that when you actually put words on paper will those major tech companies support that? Because you’ve seen, we in social media have done zero.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

MARK WARNER: Now, in terms of China, China is a major player in AI. And where I think we ought to start, where AI tools, whether it comes from China or domestically, could have the most immediate effect would be the public (INAUDIBLE) in our elections –

MARGARET BRENNAN: Right. And (INAUDIBLE) legislative reaction.

MARK WARNER: Which Microsoft just cited. And hear — hear me – hear me out – hear me out on this. But the other area beyond elections is faith in our public markets. These same tools could completely disrupt the confidence in our public markets by using these same deep fake tools.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Right.

MARK WARNER: So, I believe we ought to start. If we can put together an alliance between the capitalists and the small d democrats, we might at least get guardrails coming in the next year with the elections and the concerns about our markets.

MARGARET BRENNAN: So, you’re concerned not just about spooking, you know, the stock market. We’re talking about misleading people going into an election. Congress isn’t going to legislate ahead of the election, are they? I mean Leader Schumer said this is the most difficult thing we’ve ever undertaken.

MARK WARNER: I think this is – this is why the notion of trying to solve it all, the bias questions, the whole questions around deep fakes –

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

MARK WARNER: The questions around what’s called hallucination, where you get answers that have no relationship to what the question was asked. But we ought to at least start with some guardrails around trust in our public election, trust in our public markets. There I think we can move before our elections. I think it will be bipartisan. Let’s start on that framing point. I think we can all agree there could be huge disruption in both of those areas. And that’s where I’m focusing my time.

MARGARET BRENNAN: You may have heard our CBS polling there at the top of the program. And one of the data points I want to show you here. It says, when people compare their finances now to how they were before the pandemic, by two to one they say they’re worse, not better. And when they feel worse, they tell us they’re voting for Donald Trump.

How can President Biden win over those voters?

MARK WARNER: Well, I think we’ve seen from President Biden’s actual record, record amounts of job growth coming again after Covid. We’ve seen major legislation. There are now laws in infrastructure, in the so-called CHIPS bill, and transition in our energy economy, and most of that has only been about 10 cents on every dollar spent out. So, I think the positive effects of that will really continue to penetrate this coming year.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Do the people in Virginia feel that, that you talk to?

MARK WARNER: I – listen, I think there is a general feeling, oh, my gosh, everybody seems to be at each other’s throats here in Washington.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

MARK WARNER: You know, the notion that we’re going to potentially go into a government shutdown. Mike Turner and I work very closely together.

But I do think – I wish the House leadership would be spending a little more time on what would happen with a government shutdown, which makes us look bad around the world, and, frankly, in a state like mine, in Virginia, where we have so many government workers, government contractors, it will be a disaster. And yet the attention coming out of the House leadership is on impeachment and putting forward things they know will not ever pass the Senate in any kind of bipartisan fashion. And I think that is part of the underlying unease that voters feel.

MARGARET BRENNAN: So, you believe we are headed for a government shutdown?

MARK WARNER: I would like to say no, but we’re eight or nine days away and we’ve not even been able to see the House pass the most basic defense appropriations bills. I hope and pray that Speaker McCarthy will say, hey, I’m going to throw over the far right, and I’m going to put together a bipartisan effort with the Democrats and mainstream Republicans to keep the government funded. I think that would get, again, 350, 400 votes.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Senator, good to have you here in person.

New Yorkers Show Up to Protest AOC and Congressional Delegation in New York City Pushing for More Illegal Immigration


Posted originally on the CTH on September 15, 2023 | Sundance 

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez led a congressional delegation to New York City as part of the Democrat campaign to increase mass illegal immigration.

The Roosevelt Hotel is currently serving as the processing center for thousands of illegal aliens coming into the sanctuary city and was the venue for AOC to advance her demand for more U.S. taxpayer funds to support the migration operation.  However, AOC and the delegation were met with furious New York City residents who protested the effort and drowned out the ability of AOC to deliver her remarks.  WATCH:

This was a very visible moment as the ordinary American working class rise up against the Democrats.  Despite their pretending not to notice, the reality of the gauntlet of opposition they faced will not fade quickly.

White House Sends Media Instructions on How to Report About Congressional Impeachment Investigation


Posted originally on the CTH on September 13, 2023 | Sundance | 194 Comments

Can you even fathom the level of apoplexy that would have occurred if the executive branch under President Trump had dared to tell media how they must report on the impeachment process?   [READ LETTER HERE] The fact that the U.S. government would be issuing guidelines on how journalists must report on the Joe Biden impeachment inquiry is yet another example of how the Democrats in power control the media.

[Read Full Memo Here]

(Via CNN) – The White House sent a letter to top US news executives on Wednesday, urging them to intensify their scrutiny of House Republicans after Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, despite having found no evidence of a crime.

“It’s time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies,” Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House Counsel’s Office, wrote in the letter, which was first obtained by CNN.

The letter, which said an impeachment inquiry with no supporting evidence should “set off alarm bells for news organizations,” was sent to executives helming the nation’s largest news organizations, including CNN, The New York Times, Fox News, the Associated Press, CBS News, and others, a White House official familiar with the matter said.

The White House giving instructions to the media only serves to make any media reporting look even more like “fake news.”  Then again, constructing chaos in order to perpetuate the goals of the radicals is a typical Alinsky play.

Create as much confusion as possible, label everything as disinformation, funnel all the voters to the places of MSM controlled review.  This appears to be the strategy.

RNC Lawyer Begins Contract Work on Background Effort to Disqualify Donald Trump


Posted originally on the CTH on September 13, 2023 | Sundance 

A baseline is important to frame the accurate context:

♦ Our government is controlled by corporations and financial interests who operate on an independent agenda, not in our interest. 

♦ The RNC and DNC are private clubs inside the U.S. political system, who construct the illusion of choice as directed by their benefactors (donors).

The benefactors/donors in both instances are the same entities.

This reality forms the core of the Uniparty agenda that we see surface every day in government policy that runs counter to the interests of U.S citizens and voters.  The two wings of the UniParty vulture are the RNC and DNC.  Any entity that exists outside the framework of the modern political industry, is considered a threat.

WASHINGTON POST – […] Jason Torchinsky, a partner with the Virginia law firm Holtzman Vogel, has in recent days initiated conversations about the idea of trying to disqualify Trump with a range of figures, including a Democratic secretary of state, fellow election lawyers and a retired federal judge who has helped lead the push to question Trump’s eligibility, according to multiple people familiar with the calls, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.

[…] Torchinsky’s firm has done legal work for the campaigns of former New Jersey governor Chris Christie and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, as well as for Never Back Down, the political action committee promoting the presidential campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Torchinsky, a longtime GOP election lawyer who has also represented the Republican National Committee, is researching the issue not for Trump’s rivals but for Jacob Harriman, the founder of a nonpartisan service organization called More Perfect Union, Harriman said in a statement to The Washington Post.

“It is critical to understand if there is a legitimate risk of nominating a candidate who could be deemed to be ineligible for office,” Harriman said. Torchinsky declined to comment. (read more

We The People are in an abusive relationship with government and the party system used to retain control and power.  Once we accept that a disparate political structure exists above the election systems, a structure that runs the election systems through party/club rules, then we can begin to address how corrupt the illusion of choice has become.

In the biggest of big pictures, seeing this reality clearly is the gift from the era of Trump.

The Northern Border has been Breached


Armstrong Economics Blog/International News Re-Posted Sep 13, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The focus has been on the mass influx of illegals from the open southern border. However, migrants have also found their way into the US by crossing the northern border from Canada. The US Border Patrol declared that more migrants have entered the US via Canada in the past 11 months than in the entire last decade. The US and Canada agreed in March 2023 that they would send asylum seekers away from the border, but neither Biden nor Trudeau has kept their promise as the situation builds. This seems to be a deliberate attempt to fill both countries with migrants, although the US is the destination of choice.

“Over 6,100 apprehensions from 76 different countries in just 11 months, surpassing the last 10 years combined,” Swanton Sector Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia posted on X. Only 365 people were apprehended at the Canadian border in 2021, followed by 1,000 the following year. However, the message that the US has become an open hub for anyone has spread. Border agents have apprehended 7,633 people during the first seven months of the year. Again, these are only the people who were caught.

The issue at the northern border pales in comparison to the thousands crossing from the south every week. It shows that people need not travel on foot to escape their previous lives. People can safely fly into Canada and illegally cross into the US. Do you know how much a ticket from China to Canada costs? It is too much for the average struggling “dreamer” to pay without assistance. There is now also an open market for human smugglers who are paid to help people cross into America. This is bad news for America’s fentanyl drug crisis as well since cartels from Latin America are sending their mules into the country from both sides. This issue is costing the US billions and ruining our cities. Even sanctuary cities are begging for a solution as they never expected a full-scale invasion.

Senior Citizen of the Silent Generation Seeks 20th Term


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 12, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Most of the people in charge of the US are too old to function. Nancy Pelosi announced that she plans to seek re-election to the House of Representative in 2024. This would be Pelosi’s TWENTIETH term. The top insider trader in the nation has done absolutely nothing during her time in politics. So why should she be allowed to run again?

“Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery. Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote,” Pelosi posted on X. The city has become uninhabitable under Democrat control and Pelosi herself asked staff to work from home, citing safety concerns. There are eight members of Congress who are actually older than Pelosi. Surprisingly, she is expected to win.

Dianne Feinstein is 90 years old and barely alive. She remains in the Senate despite granting her daughter legal power of attorney. Feinstein does not trust herself to manage her own finances, but she is willing to cling to power/life and feels fit to vote on the most important decisions the leading global economy. She even sued the trustees of her late husband’s estate for elder abuse for withholding finances. But those in power would rather die in politics than relinquish power. It is actually part of the strategy.

Hillary Clinton told Time that she does not think Diane Feinstein should resign simply because her seat could go to a Republican. “Here’s the dilemma: the Republicans will not agree to add someone else to the Judiciary Committee if she retires,” Clinton admitted. “I want you to think about how crummy that is. I don’t know in her heart about whether she really would or wouldn’t, but right now, she can’t. Because if we’re going to get judges confirmed, which is one of the most important continuing obligations that we have, then we cannot afford to have her seat vacant.” This came after Feinstein took a three-month leave due to her failing health.

Taking it a step forward, Clinton thinks the Republicans should swap out the elderly as an act of kindness. “If Republicans were to say and do the decent thing and say, well this woman was gravely ill, she had just lost her husband to cancer… of course we will let you fill this position if she retires. But they won’t say that. So what are we supposed to do? All these people pushing her to retire: fine, we get no more judges? I don’t think that’s a good tradeoff.” A good tradeoff?

And yet, Clinton was quick to question Biden’s age ahead of the election. Her dream of sitting in the Oval Office without her husband will never die. These politicians do not have the best interest of the people at heart. It is all a big petty game that the people always lose.

Men are from Mars & Women are from Venus

COMMENT: Marty, I read the post where they said they needed to find you a 23-year-old wife so she will keep you active so you can continue to blog. I am over 40, and things have changed. Yes, there is an abundant supply of 23 to 33-year-olds. But they only want arrangements and hookups, not relationships and certainly not children. Bill Gates has done his job. He has brainwashed the young, and good luck finding one, even in their 30s, who would be serious.  The old saying they want someone with a flashy car no longer applies. That went out a long time ago.

MS

REPLY: I know what you are saying. That seems to be true to some extent. But then the girls complain that boys their age only want to play video games and live in their mother’s basement. Things have changed, and I hear them from younger people constantly. The funny thing was there was a woman in her early 30s. I opened the car door for her, and she was shocked. We were not on a date; it was just looking at real estate. I didn’t think about it; it was standard among my generation.

Just for the record, I have a few “flashy” cars, as you put it. I was in a parking lot with my BMW I8, and a guy and his girlfriend approached me and said, “Boy, I guess you get all the girls with this car.” I replied, no! – Just guys! I never had a woman come up to me because of a car – ever! Guys, all the time. How does it handle? How fast is the top end? etc, etc., etc.

Women are not generally impressed with cars more than a guy is impressed by her name, handbag, and matching shoes. That’s the old adage – Men are from Mars, and women are from Venus. Not sure I was a 23-year-old to keep me young. I have no intention of running for president when I am 90. I prefer a more mature person, but the pickings keep getting slimmer by the day.

Indeed, culturally, things have changed. I suppose that is part of the generational cycle.
