Clown of the Week: Golf Channel’s Commentator Rich Lerner
Rich Lerner has earned the Clown of the Week award for questioning professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau’s stance on the Covid-19 vaccines.
Mr. Lerner was absolutely wrong in suggesting fans were against DeChambeau because of his thoughts about the Covid-19 vaccines and his decision not to take it until further testing were conducted. Mr. Lerner alluded to this during the broadcast of the BMW Championship final round.
As a matter of fact, DeChambeau is not the only American who feels this way. Many Americans have decided not to indulge on a vaccine which has not been properly tested. Perhaps Mr. Lerner should hangout a bit more with real Americans instead of elite athletes and Hollywood types.
You can read more on DeChambeau’s position and his statement on this article by Townhall.
Leave it to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to come up with the most outlandish, ridiculous, and nonsensical, solutions to non-existing problems.
As reported by One America News Network, the CDC has released a new set of “language” guidelines under the excuse of more “inclusive language”. Whatever that means in the fantasy world of the CDC, only God knows.
Of course, they are claiming these are “preferred terms” and in no way, shape, or form mandatory. This is the same agency who took it upon itself to cancel rent and evictions under the cloud of Covid-19 without congressional approval.
These are some of the few “preferred terms” as suggested by the CDC. Instead of:
Inmates- Persons who are detained
Alcoholics- Persons with alcohol use disorder
Drug User- Person who inject drugs
Are these people serious? These people sound like morons! But this is not all, let’s continue.
The CDC is suggesting that “language in communication products should reflect and speak to the needs of people in the audience of focus”. Exactly, utter nonsense and a mix salad of useless words.
This is one of my favorite suggestions. They argue those who identify as genetically male or female, should be assigned or designated as male or female “at birth”. Excuse me, there’s no other designations. One is either born as a male or a female, not and “it” or something in between.
Folks, this is insanity. Basically, the CDC thinks you are too stupid to understand what an inmate, and alcoholic, or a drug user means, or better yet, you don’t know the difference between a male and a female.
This is what the Biden Administration worries about folks, absolute stupidity.
Meanwhile U.S. Servicemembers have been slaughtered in Afghanistan, thousands of unvetted Afghans are been relocated to the United States, and American citizens have been left behind enemy lines.
Reading this at face value you would think our government is just a big joke. Perhaps it is a joke, a bad joke.
Listening to Joe Biden weasel his way through, on national television, talking about the United States exit from Afghanistan was laughable.
This man is the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces and immediately he wanted to justify his incompetent handling of the Afghan mission by blaming former President Trump. President Trump negotiated a troop withdrawal from Afghanistan because that’s what he promised the American people.
It was up to Joe Biden, the newly elected president, to implement such policy. He failed because he didn’t care.
Just a few months ago, he was bragging about how the Afghan military was such a well trained and equipped fighting force. Well, because Biden’s lack of planning and foolishness, the Taliban has taken over the country and the Afghan Army is nowhere to be found.
Biden couldn’t even take responsibility and kept referring to the “troops”. Since when the Democrats have ever cared about the troops? Nancy Pelosi called our military “Storm Troopers”.
For 20 years our military did their job in Afghanistan, including 8 of those years under the Obama administration, and the Democrats never cared one bit. For the Democrats and the career politicians it was a forgotten war.
To use the troops as the reason for leaving Afghanistan is an insult to the thousands of soldiers who gave their lives in this conflict. We are hastily leaving Afghanistan because the Biden administration underestimated the Taliban and wasn’t prepared for such take over and collapsed of the Afghan government.
The Biden administration was more concerned about flying the LGBTQ flag in a Muslim country and they lost complete control of the reality on the ground.
While our military leaders were worried about which soldier voted for President Trump, which soldiers were wearing MAGA hats, or teaching Critical Race Theory to our fighting force, the Taliban was taking over the country province by province, right under Joe Biden’s nose.
The failure in Afghanistan is under Joe Biden’s watch, and he’s right, the buck stops with him. It is time to stop blaming President Trump for his administration’s failures.
I am pleased our troops are leaving this western attempt at nation building and American assimilation, but under the Biden administration our troops are leaving in disgrace. Not only we are leaving behind a failed state, but we have equipped the Taliban with our own military equipment and installations.
If you think Russia and China are not watching, think again. They will fill the vacuum left behind by the Biden administration and no amount of tough talk by Biden will change that fact. The United States is a weak country and President’s Putin and Xi know it.
Watching the Taliban taking over Kabul was not only embarrassing but it will be a forever reminder of the American failure in Afghanistan.
When I served in the military, from 1988 to 1992, we had two major conflicts, Just Cause and the Persian Gulf War. On both occasions we were victorious and successful accomplishing the mission at hand.
Move forward to the George W. Bush administration and the so called “War on Terror”. Our military has been bogged down in Afghanistan for 21 years with little to show for. Of course, unless you consider protecting drug lords, warlords, and Opium fields a worthy endeavor.
In 2008 Barack Obama became President and the military became a political tool for social engineering. During the 8 years of the Obama administration the United States military was weaken, embarrassed, poorly trained, and ill equipped. They cared more about gays in the military and transgenderism while completely neglecting our military readiness.
The world laughed while our sailors were taken hostage by the Iranian Navy and the United States did nothing to stop it. It was a very dark time in the history for the strongest military force in the world.
Thankfully, in 2016, President Donald J. Trump got elected to office and he restored our military to a place of leadership. We were, once again, respected and feared by our adversaries. Our military got the resources they needed to deal with the global threats, and despite the fact we had some weak leaders, our military was strong and well equipped.
I guess all good things come to an end. In 2020, Joe Biden got elected to office and with him the end of our military might.
Since Biden got into office the military has, once again, become a social experiment. From taxpayer funded transition surgery and therapy for transgenders to Critical Race Theory garbage. Meanwhile, Russia and China continue to operate right under our noses while devaluing our currency and hacking our infrastructure.
Our military has not only become a social experiment under Biden but is fixing to become a laboratory experiment. Secretary Austin issued a memorandum to all DOD employees, including uniform personnel, ordering mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations by September 15th or face penalties. For an “all-volunteer” fighting force, this comes right out of the Little Red Book or the Communist Manifesto.
Before I got deployed to the Persian Gulf, I was injected with many things, and I didn’t know what they were. But I wasn’t told to get them, nor ordered. I could have declined, and nothing would have happened. Today, our members in the military have been ordered to put their own lives on the line or else.
This is no different than telling someone they have two choices, either jump off the cliff or take a bullet to the head.
At this very moment, members of the military are consulting with lawyers and rightly so. Nobody should be ordered to put anything in their bodies without their consent. What happened to the liberal mantra “My Body, my Choice”?
This action by the President and the Secretary of Defense only weakens our readiness. Sure, a unit may be out for a couple of weeks if infected, but that’s pretty much the extent of it. On the other hand, a soldier can die from these untested vaccines and the families have zero recourse. Thanks to the Trump administration these pharmaceuticals are immune from prosecution and lawsuits.
I think under these new set of circumstances, I believe members of the military should apply for exemptions, either medical or administrative. Flood the system with bureaucracy and they may rethink their approach.
After spending 25 years in Federal Law Enforcement, I had my share of black bands around my badge honoring my fellow fallen officers. Some of them died in the line of duty, medical conditions, and suicide.
To read the Democrats, and the mainstream media, blame President Trump for the suicide rate increase among law enforcement because of the events of January 6th, is completely preposterous.
Furthermore, it is an insult to the memories of those officers and their families.
I place the blame on the radical politicians, BLM, Antifa, and the Defund the Police movement. When these people go around calling police officers, pigs, racists, and Nazi’s, nothing good can come out of it.
When radical members of Congress are advocating for defunding police departments, and local governments wanting to get rid of law enforcement all together, no wonder police officers are having a hard time doing their jobs or even staying on the job.
I have never met a law enforcement officer who didn’t love their job. You have too, otherwise you couldn’t do it. Enforcing the laws enacted by bureaucrats is not an easy task.
Mainly because those same politicians will not back them up, and most of the time criticize the police officers they have entrusted to enforce such laws. It is a thankless job, but one I found very honorable and rewarding.
It has been reported three Metropolitan Police Officers and one MPD Officer have committed suicide since the events of January 6th at the Capitol. The mainstream media has gone full blown crazy blaming President Trump for those deaths.
We will never know why those officers committed suicide, but I could come up with my own questions and scenarios. Were these officers approached by congressional staffers and asked to provide false testimony in front of Congress? Did they feel guilty for their own actions or inactions during the events at the Capitol? I guess we will never know.
The four officers, Officer Kyle De Freytag, Gunther Hashida, Howard Liebengood, and MPD Officer Jeffrey Smith, were season veterans of the police force. These were not rookie officers, and the events of January 6th would have been garden variety, and far from a reason to kill themselves over it. Nevertheless, they will be missed.
It is hard for me to believe, given all the resources afforded to law enforcement officers to cope and deal with traumatic events, these officers, one day, out of the blue, decided to kill themselves. Again, we will never know.
Given the so-called gravity of the events; did the department conduct proper debriefings in the aftermath of the event? How much did the supervisors know about the officer’s state of mind after the incident? Were they afforded any help?
I questioned the way these officers were dealt with, if in fact they committed suicide because of their involvement in the events of January 6th. Lots of questions with little answers.
I understand, blaming President Trump is the lowest hanging fruit available for the Democrats and the mainstream media, but they should be ashamed of themselves.
The truth is movements like BLM, Antifa, Defund the Police, and our own radical members of Congress, are to blame for the stress in which police officers have been operating.
Police officers are spat on, called names, assaulted, and belittled for doing their jobs. They are the ones trying to protect property from looting by the likes of these subversive groups. They should be praised and respected, not treated like garbage.
Law enforcement suicides are a serious issue, and it needs to be acknowledged. Politicians, should not be using the deaths of these police officers to score points, after all, you could say their deaths are on their hands.
