Come on Media — mainstream, midstream, downstream, liberal or conservative, whatever you want to call yourselves — quit propagating the idea that Kamala Harris does not have policies on the inter-web. If you want to know what her priorities are and what she has accomplished, maybe take a look at these two pages on the Biden-Harris  Accomplishments and Priorities ?  Allow me to give you some interpretive guidance and advice: First, if it is not on her Top Accomplishments list, it's probably not a priority for her. Second, if it is not on her Priorities list, it's not something she really intends to accomplish. Third, try to keep in mind that just because someone lists an accomplishment does not mean there is direct, empirical or even circumstantial evidence that it has been accomplished. Accomplishments Take, for instance, the Biden-Harris claim to "Lowering Costs of Everyday Expenses," accompanied by a detailed, cartoon-esque graphic that probably cost upwards of ten...

  Take a look at what Trump claims to have accomplished, then compare it against what Biden-Harris claim to have accomplished. Let’s put their accomplishments on trial. In a trial, there is “ Direct Evidence” and “ Circumstantial Evidence.” Direct Evidence are things that you can measure, see, and touch. Circumstantial Evidence are things that you “feel” are true based on circumstances and your best observation, but things for which there is no direct proof. Which of the two candidates wins the trial? Which one has the most “Direct Evidence?” Which one has the most “Circumstantial Evidence?” Or, perhaps there is one candidate who has the most Direct AND the most Circumstantial Evidence. You decide. For each so-called “accomplishment,” ask yourself five questions: First, “Is this an accomplishment that really matters to me, to my family, and to the country?” Second, “Is there Direct Evidence to support the claim, such as official government statistics, things that you and others...

I moved from Borger, TX to Houston in 1994. For thirty years, I was a Panhandle Conservative in Queen Sheila's Court. I went from one of the most Red areas of the state and country to one of the most Black and Blue. I can't say that I suffered under Queen Sheila's rule, nor can I say that I prospered under her rule. I lived in an unincorporated portion of the Houston area, and did not even know for a few years, when she came up for reelection, that she was my representative. That is more than humorous, because she was one of my favorite targets for political derision, even before I moved to southeast Texas. No, I can't say that Sheila Jackson Lee affected my life at all as a member of the District she represented in the United States House of Representative. Queen Sheila was in the House only for herself. Public statements, public appearances, legislation, graft and corruption...everything she did was for Sheila, and Sheila only. I suspect that her replacement will be m...

THERE IS A GREAT (IN MY OPINION) BOOK WRITTEN IN 1890 WITH THE TITLE "OUR COUNTRY'S FUTURE, OR GREAT NATIONAL QUESTIONS." It covers a number of topics, including Divorce, Our Cities, Religion, The Politician and much more. In the section on Immigration, there is a statement that I believe is applicable to our times, 134 years after it was written. I thought you might find it to be so, too. "BECAUSE this is a land of liberty a great many foreigners imagine it a land of license. To do them justice, they do not know any better. But we do, and it is our duty to teach them the difference. If we don't, we, not they, will be the principal sufferers. The subject of immigration has been largely discussed by the newspapers of late, and a good deal of demagogy has been got off in Congress on the same subject. But sensible people are pretty well agreed that it is time to put some restriction upon the use of America as a common dumping ground for the world's offal and rub...

I decided it is bad for my mental and spiritual health to continually think of Congresswoman and Unsolicited Advice Columnist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a clueless ignoramus. From now on she will be AØC : The "Accidental Comedian" (See what I did with the "O" there?)

"By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”John 13:35 There can be no unity among a people when the vast majority of that people are idolatrous, hating each other because they first hated God. Anyone who says he wants peace and unity and does not love God and his enemies is a liar, and the truth is not in him. We are at war with one another because we cannot escape our own natures, and our nature informs us that if we want something and we cannot obtain it by other means, we should take it by force. Rather than asking God for it, we destroy others and flaunt God's commandments to obtain it. That goes for power and prestige as much as it does for material possessions.  . . .those who represent us in the in national, state and municipal legislatures have no basis for uniting us if they themselves are at enmity with God and with one another. Do we think we can have unity without repentance? Do we think it is our neighbor, or our ene...

  Whether by design or dumb luck, the Democrats won the 2020 national election not because those voting for them supported any of their policies, or even knew what they were.  The Dems did not win because their voters were seeking social justice, nor were the voters particularly concerned about their own financial or job status, much less the economy.  Democrat voters did not give a Georgia hoot about what form of government we have, or whether it is best to have divided government. They did not even vote for social justice, at least not in the way that at least half of us understand it.  They did not vote for a President or for Congressional representatives for any other reason than they were, for all intents and purposes, not casting a ballot but purchasing a Lottery ticket. And why not? The Democrat Party campaigned on a Mega Millions ticket. "Vote For Us and Get Rich!" Free college. College loan forgiveness. Free health care. Reparations (it's going to happen). P...

Angry and Bitter Uncle Joe If Joe Biden's pre-inauguration anger and bitterness are signs of his post-inauguration behavior--and I fear they are--we are indeed, as the President-elect is fond of saying, in for a long, dark winter. Only this one won't be seasonal in the usual sense of that word. This winter is going to last for four years or until Kamala Harris takes office and the winter continues, only darker and colder. So, why is it that Joe is angry, do you suppose. Is it because he hates Trump, and his anger will subside when Trump is gone? I think not. Is it because of his age, a natural grumpiness possessed of most octogenarians? I think not. Allow me to suggest several causes for Uncle Joe's anger. First, Uncle Joe wanted to be President long before now, back when he was younger, more physically and mentally fit, and not so tired of the grind of politics. Bitterness is a form of anger, and Uncle Joe is bitter that it took him this long to ascend to the Presidency. B...

 Attend the Biden inauguration in style! Don't leave home without a MAMA hat!

Hitler rose to power largely, if not entirely, by instilling in the German populace a deep-seated fear of the German Communists, as well as an envious and resentful hatred for the Jews. For Uncle Joe, it's White Supremacists and Christians. Earlier this week I watched, for probably the fourth time, the History Channel series on Adolph Hitler. The day after the last episode in the Hitler series, which was two days after the mislabeled "Capitol Hill insurrection," I watched Joe Biden's press conference.  I try to not use the word "epiphany" too frequently or lightly, but I had one...an epiphany. Suddenly I knew what Biden was doing while in his basement bunker for the majority of his so-called Presidential "campaign." He was reading and re-reading " Mein Kampf, " and quite possibly binge watching the History Channel's Hitler series, asking himself why if a young German buffoon and underachiever was able to rise to power by appealing to...
