It’s Getting ‘Worser’ and ‘Worser;’ I’m Taking Some Time Off |

Commentary

After foolishly agreeing with the decision to move the MLB’s All-Star Game to Denver, where voting is more restrictive than Atlanta, President Biden’s still out there lying in his effort to gain federal control over all elections.

Our weak-kneed president continues to lie about voting reform, calling it “the greatest threat to our democracy since the Civil War,” and blatantly says “They (Republicans) want to make it so hard and inconvenient that they hope people don’t vote at all.” Of course, citing Jim Crow each time.

Even the leftist Washington Post gave Biden four Pinocchio’s for repeatedly claiming that the Georgia law “ends voting hours early,” when in fact, the bill extends voting hours.

It goes beyond voter reform. Speaking about his infrastructure bill, Biden said it would create “millions of good paying jobs.”

Vice President Harris took to the microphones, too, but in doing so revealed how out of touch she is by insulting the intelligence of rural voters in the process.

You will recall how the Democrats have insulted the minority communities over the issue of Voter-ID’s, ridiculously indicating they were incapable of obtaining one.

Now, in the vernacular of Hillary Clinton, who referred to those in flyover country as “deplorables,” Harris decried that some voter identification laws make it “almost impossible” for rural voters, suggesting she doesn’t think rural citizens have the wherewithal to use a copy machine to copy their identification.

Saying, “there’s no Kinko’s, there’s no OfficeMax near them, she reveals how out of touch she is, as Kinko’s went out of business in 2008.

A Twitterer from Alabama contributed a bit of humor: “I’ve lived in Alabama my entire life …my entire family shares a single pair of shoes, I get them once a week.

“Last year I saw a metal bird in the sky. I learned it’s called a plane. There are people on it! It’s like magic.

“Kinko’s sounds fancy, hope I learn what it is someday!”

I SAID ‘WORSER:‘ The Afghanistan pullout is a costly disaster … illegals continue to flow across our border … Fauci wants kids to wear masks … Biden is ignoring the pleas from Cubans … everything the right favors is “racist” … and “child care” is in the Prez’s infrastructure bill.

Then there’s those Democrat turkeys from Texas who flew their Austin coop to fly to Washington, where they were welcomed by Sen. Chuck Schumer and company. He used them in a photo op to promote his federal voter reform bill, which includes a mechanism for big campaign bucks funded by taxpayers. Texas Republicans will win in the end.

AND SADLY, more woke weasels in Democrat locations are ordering the removal of long-standing statues that are suddenly so oppressive that they have to come down.

In Charlottesville, Virginia, not only were statues of Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson removed in the city’s effort to rewrite history, but it seems as though the statues of explorers Lewis & Clark and native American Sacagawea, depicted two white supremacists and an oppressed Indian woman.

The removal of the three statues cost the city $1 million.

The removal of the explorers was particularly disappointing to me, having followed the Lewis & Clark trail on a recent cruise of the Columbia and Snake Rivers, when I learned a great deal about their mission.

The statue, erected in 1919, became controversial recently when Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were viewed as white supremacists, and a crouching Sacagawea appeared to be “cowering” and “recoiling.”

It is believed that Sacagawea joined the expedition at age 16 or 17 with her husband and two-month-old baby, and reportedly “contributed significantly to the success of the journey,” according to the National Parks Service.

In President Jefferson’s hand-written instructions to Lewis, he took pains to encourage the explorers to gain knowledge of the members of tribes along the way, suggesting notes be made of their numbers, languages, laws, traditions, occupations, food, clothing, and accommodations.

In view of this excerpt from Jefferson’s letter, and the Parks Service glowing report on Sacagawea, I find the criticism of the image of her looking subservient “convenient:”

“In all your intercourse with the natives treat them in the most friendly & conciliatory manner which their own conduct will admit; allay all jealousies as to the object of your journey; satisfy them of its innocence, make them acquainted with the position, extent, character, peaceable & commercial dispositions of the U.S., of our wish to be neighborly, friendly & useful to them, & of our dispositions to a commercial intercourse with them … “

Jefferson also instructed Lewis to invite influential chiefs “to visit with us,” giving him information as to how to arrange such visits at the “public expense.”

“If any of them should wish to have some of their young people brought up with us & taught such arts as may be useful to them, we will receive, instruct & take care of them,” Jefferson said.
