Uncle Crazy Joe is At It Again

Americans Got Richer During The Pandemic Says Biden

In a press conference on Tuesday, Joe Biden claimed Americans have gotten wealthier during the pandemic than they were before.

He declared the United States was the only country whose residents could count themselves richer than they had been before the pandemic.

My reaction to these nonsensical statements? Aloud laughter.

“America’s the only major economy, the only one in the world, where the economy is bigger today, and families have more money in their pockets, than before the pandemic hit.”

Sure, when you have an irresponsible Federal Reserve who continues to print money with complete disregard to the long-term effect on the dollar, the economy, and a never ending pandemic unemployment program. Well, a broken clock is right twice a day.

He went on to say, this was a “testament to the effectiveness of the vaccines and our vaccination effort.” “a testament to the economic policies we’ve fought so hard to pass.”

Vaccine effectiveness? That is why he has Fauci on national television talking about booster shots and holiday lockdowns?

Economic policies? Does he mean the higher gasoline prices and highest inflation in decades?

The only people making money and getting wealthier because of COVID-19 are, billionaires, the pharmaceutical companies, Walmart, and Amazon.

The numbers show that $2.1 trillion dollars has been added to the coffers of the richest billionaires, with Elon Musk of Tesla, making $209 billion dollars all by his lonesome.

The middle-class and the poor in the United States are not wealthier Joe, in fact the poor remains poor and the middle-class is about gone.

This is the disconnect of our elitist government class.

Tapping on The Strategic Petroleum Reserves Solves Nothing

The Biden administration has decided to release 50 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves to quell the rising prices of gasoline.

32 million barrels will be an exchange and 18 million barrels are an advance release from a prior authorized sale.

What all these mumbo-jumbo means for American consumers? Absolutely nothing, zero, zilch, nada.

The United States consumes an average of 18.2 barrels of petroleum daily. At that pace, the amount released is only good for about three days, so you do the math.

Additionally, it will take at least two weeks to make all this happen, so do not expect to see any relief at the pump any time soon. You will continue to pay high gasoline prices, period.

As is garden variety with the Biden administration, this is nothing more than empty gestures. They know this is not going to alleviate our gasoline problem, but it makes them look like they are doing something.

Folks, they are not doing anything. Unfortunately, their base is dumb enough to see it, and with a left-wing media apparatus covering every mistake the administration makes, not too many people are going to see it for what it is, and they will praise the administration for it.

In the meantime, the government is going to pillage our reserves while shutting down energy sources that could safeguard our own future and energy independence.

Since we do not produce much anymore; how is the administration plan to restock the reserves? They do not know.

This has nothing to do with OPEC, the Trump administration, or none of that other nonsense the Biden administration wants you to believe. This has everything to do with the administration’s lack of a solid energy policy and our forced dependency on foreign oil.

In the words of Forrest Gump, “as stupid as stupid does.” The United States has been run by very stupid people.

PGA Tour Confidential

Player Impact Program and the Rewards of Being Mediocre

By now, most of my readers know my total disdain towards the PGA Tour and its mafioso style commissioner Jay Monahan, so my next opinion blog will not be a surprise.

The $40 million dollar Player Impact Program has been clouded under ridiculous secrecy. Most people think that if it needs to be kept secret, is probably garbage, and I agree.

When you understand the purpose of the program, which is to compensate players based on them driving their fan base and sponsor engagement, you come to realize this program is nothing more than a PGA Tour welfare program.

It gives the mediocre player an opportunity to make money, not because they are a talented player, but because they can tweet the most or have the most endorsements.

I have not given the program much though until today. Tiger Woods posted a video of him on Tweeter hitting some golf balls just months after his almost fatal car accident.

Former PGA Tour player Colt Knost was quoted as saying, “So @PGATour we just need to know who finishes 2-10 on the PIP. Enjoy the 8 mil @TigerWoods.”

Seriously Knost? I do not know if he meant to be funny or cynical about it, but it was a ridiculous comment in my opinion.

So, Tiger Woods got over a million hits on Tweeter and that entitles him to make $8 million dollars? The man is lucky to be alive, which is a good thing.

After today’s frenzy, I was reminded how this indeed is a welfare program for professional golfers. Ricky Fowler has been a bust for most of the past two seasons, but he can sell you some mortgages and some beer.

He is a better advertisement agent than a golfer these days and he will probably make more money by selling stuff and tweeting than playing golf, go figure. We will never know because the PGA Tour has decided to keep the program and who gets the money a secret.

What are you ashamed of Jay? You do not want people to find out how mediocre players are going to make more money from this welfare program than on the course?

I understand in today’s society, when everyone is a victim and working hard is an afterthought, the PGA Tour had to do something to try to keep the mediocre players happy.

What kind of message the PGA Tour is sending to kids learning the game? Be a better online personality than a player? Mediocrity pays?

Jay, you and the Tour should be ashamed.

Are These People Dangerous to Your Health?

As we continue to face the government induced COVID-19 hysteria, our own government continues to move the goal posts to justify their agenda.

On a Sunday CNN interview, Fauci was unable to give a clear answer when asked if booster shots were going to be necessary to classify Americans as “fully vaccinated.”

“We’re going to be following that very carefully” Fauci was quoted as saying. He went on to say the Biden administration “might modify the guidelines.”

Americans “should not be put off by the fact that as time goes by and we learn more and more about protection,” the definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ might change. That is reassuring coming from a man who has gotten it wrong from the start.

Today, if you have gotten the double doses from the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines you are considered “fully vaccinated.”  The same goes with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Unfortunately, these bureaucrats want you and me to continue to get booster after booster after booster, with no end in sight and without a logical explanation.

On another interview with ABC News, Fauci went on to say, “We’ll continue to follow the data because right now when we’re boosting people, what we’re doing is following them.” “We’re going to see what the durability of that protection is.”

Efficacy ratings are all over the place, and with the introduction of several variants, the numbers are even murkier. The only actual data on boosters is coming out of Israel and it is only about 30 days of data. That’s not enough data to make an informed decision.

In my opinion, Fauci does not know the efficacy of the vaccines, so he’s throwing garbage at the wall and see if some of it sticks.

I would love to know what “data” Fauci, and his gang are following, because their data is either faulty at best or phony at worst. It changes so much from network to network, from interview to interview, they can’t keep up with it.

In the past, the CDC Director, Rochelle Walensky has been quoted as saying the official definition of ‘fully vaccinated,’ “may” need to change in the face of booster shots availability.

What is the magic number? They do not know!

Let us keep on jabbing until the narrative is justified. It does not matter who dies in the process. After all the government and pharmaceuticals are fully exempt from responsibility and cannot be sued by victims of their experiments.

This is what happens when career bureaucrats are in charge of things they don’t understand.

Are these people dangerous to your health? You bet!

A Nation of Parasites

Meanwhile the government continues to create a society of parasites. Photo courtesy of informationng.com

I started working when I was thirteen years old cleaning dishes at a pizza shop. During the summertime school break, I worked stacking shoes at a local shoe store.

As far as I can remember, I always held some type of job growing up. It felt good to be a productive person, it felt good to be an independent human being, and the extra money was always good.

At twenty, I joined the Army, and after my Army service, I went on to a successful and fulfilling career in federal law enforcement.

Since the start of COVID-19, the government has created a new class of Americans. Those who get paid to stay at home, people who contribute nothing to society while getting a paycheck they did not earned.

Businesses cannot hire employees because they cannot beat the “free” money government is giving away. Many businesses have gone out of business because of this government action, which I believe is purposely done as an excuse to nationalize as much private businesses as possible and replace them with outfits like Walmart and Amazon.

I see body able people standing at traffic lights begging for money, while across the street is a business with “we are hiring” signs. They are not getting any money from me.

These people seem to have no shame or pride. They stand in there and look at you like you owe them something, and if you refuse to open your window, they look at you with hate and disdain.

What about getting a job? What about being a productive member of society? They do not care because our own government has created these parasites. The government has become a “Nanny State” and people have lost all sense of self-respect.

I never envisioned an America where people would be fine with the thought of being a government ward. That is what we are witnessing in our country today. People sitting at home without a reason to get off their behind and do something meaningful with their lives.

This goes even further; this is also a case of intellectual atrophy. When the brain is not active and people deprive themselves of critical thinking, human beings cannot function properly in a civilized society.

The workplace offers an opportunity to interact with other human beings, share of ideas, and discuss everyday issues. It gives one a sense of purpose, a sense of being.

When the government pays people to stay at home, it is deliberately creating a dependency class. Venezuela tried that and eventually ran out of money to give away and rich people to steal it from.

Has the government and COVID-19 created a new class of American citizen?

Perhaps; a parasitical class.
