 Just a few comments on the current state of our country: 

Saturday was the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attack as I'm sure you all know. It's also the anniversary of our governments failure to protect its citizens, one of the most important functions of any government. 

It's become woefully apparent as a result of the Arizona election audit that things were in fact more than a little hinckey. While it hasn't been proven conclusively yet, I'm sure audits in other key states would have similar results. Making sure elections are honest is another important function of the government. 

Something that didn't get much press was the removal of the statue of Robert E. Lee from Richmond, Virginia, something roughly equivalent to the destruction of the antiquities the Taliban has been doing.

Here's a photo of the oppressed people cheering the removal of the statue. Shouldn't one of the functions of the government be to preserve our history. Take a stand so the memory of the brave soldiers and their leaders will be remembered, even if the cause was not to your liking.

If they ever come to their senses and decide to put General Lee back on display, I'd be willing to help with the welding. History is never kind to those that destroy it. Both photos from here, by the way.

And finally, our illustrious leader came on television last Thursday to tell my fellow countrymen that his patience is wearing thin with those of us who haven't yet gotten the Covid "vaccine". He's going to solve the problem by forcing all corporations with more than 100 employees to get everyone on the payroll vaccinated or tested weekly, unless you work for the Post Office or are a federal judge, congressman or staffer. Besides being blatantly unconstitutional, it's going to get real interesting when people start walking off the job. I just read where a hospital is closing their maternity department due to the nurses leaving in response to forced vaccinations. I'm thinking you ain't seen nothing yet. If one of the functions of government is to guarantee the safety of its citizens, they've sure dropped the ball as far as covid is concerned.

Not near as badly as the withdrawal from Afghanistan, however. That just might be the single most screwed up event in the history of the country. I don't know how Trump was planning on handling the event, but I can guarantee you Robert E. Lee wouldn't have allowed that to happen. 

With the "transitory" inflation picking up steam, shortages of goods and services and government overreach, looks like we might be in for some interesting times ahead. I don't know if Civil War II is coming but regardless, we all better have our shit together - stock up on some essential supplies, have some cash on hand, get debt free, have a security plan, and get yourself in physical shape. Remember, no-one is coming to help you.
