Not much happening in today’s news. So, I’ll just quickly follow up on two of my ongoing topics.
While I was blowing off steam yesterday regarding the incumbent’s imperial-level golf trip while the bulk of his constituency grovels unable to afford basic amenities, I forgot to mention that, at the same time, the first lady and daughters were skiing out in Aspen likely doubling the hit taken by taxpayers who cover costs of the family's travel.
So, I guess it’s a good thing when a political hack from Chicago backs into a job facilitated by George Soros’ moveon.org. But, nonetheless, I’m not so sure flaunting power and acting like royalty sits well with many observers. And that may be just the kind of thing that backfires because, this is still the U.S. and we just don’t have kings and queens anymore.
In the meantime, one day last week I noted that the State Department quietly mentioned that it was going to be a while before they could fit proper review and analysis of the Keystone Pipeline into their busy schedules. Which means more delays in our obtaining oil from Canada next door and likely lowering our fuel cists significantly.
At the same time, rises in international demand and Middle-Eastern unrest are presently driving fuel prices toward all-time highs, even though our own usage of oil is declining.
So, what this says to me is, we’ve got a guy in the White House who’s proving in two clear examples that he cares nothing at all about anyone else. And that’s okay with me, because the feeling’s mutual. But as each day goes by, and after the last four years especially, exactly how dumb to folks have to be to let this hypocrisy and blatant rip-off continue?
That's it for today folks.
Adios
