Twenty Questions I've Been Pondering But Can't Answer, And The Powers-That-Be Won't Answer.
Maybe I can with a little help from my friends....
Why is it we have not lost a battle in Vietnam and Afghanistan but we lost the wars? Our politicians?
Why is California mandating that all new cars sold in the state be electric by 2035, but the state’s electric generating capacity has decreased from 231,353 GWh in 2011 to 190,992 GWh in 2020? Foot meet gun.
Why is it that Vice President Harris was such an outspoken advocate for women, but has been silent on the loss of women’s rights under the Taliban? Perhaps because she claimed to have been fully on board with Biden’s plan and the “last person in the room” when he made the decision? Just saying.
Why is it that adults take on a large amount of debt to go to college, but then want others to pay their loans off? Perhaps they should have majored in engineering instead of gender studies? Asking for a friend.
Why has the Mexican border been closed due to COVID since March 2020 and will remain so until at least September 21 but those who cross illegally are allowed entry? Just guessing here, but I don’t think the COVID virus can only cross the border at legal entry points.
Why has Canada reopened it’s boarder to Americans, but the U.S. extended it’s closure to Canadians due to COVID until at least September 21? As I write, Canada’s seven day average of new COVID cases per 100,000 is 46.8. the U.S.’s is 315.78. Is it that the Department of Homeland Security doesn’t want Canadians to get infected?
Why is it a good idea to impeach Trump for a phone call with the Ukraine President asking him to investigate Hunter and Joe Biden for corruption, but a bad idea to impeach Biden for a phone call with the Afghan President asking him to lie about the war in Afghanistan? Confusing.
Why are we told that the January 6th Capital riot was an insurrection, but out of over 600 people charged, none have been charged under 18 USC § 2381 - § 2390 - the statutes governing treason, rebellion, insurrection etc. Just spit-balling here, but maybe because it was not insurrection?
Why is air travel exempt from the closure of both the Canadian and Mexican border? Do viruses get airsick?
Why are our boarders with Canada and Mexico closed due to COVID but the State Department travel advisory for both are level 3 (reconsider travel) and not level 4 (do not travel to)? The mystery thingy.
Why is it that so many on the left want to ban law abiding Americans from owning an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, but are fine with the Biden Administration turning over $85 billion dollars of weapons, including machine guns, mortars, and artillery to terrorists? I’m stumped.
Why is the State Department’s travel alerts for Switzerland and Afghanistan both level 4? Go figure.
Why is it that large cities cut their police departments, then wonder why crime goes up? A riddle or an enigma?
Why is it we can evacuate over 120,000 people from Afghanistan, but leave hundreds of Americans there? Unconscionable.
Why is Trump banned from Twitter, But the Taliban are not? Guess forced marriages, torture, and executions are not violations of Twitter’s community standards.
Why does Biden believe his Kabul evacuation was a success, but 52% of Americans believes he should resign and 60% believe he should be impeached over it?
Why Does the Biden Administration believe it can competently screen tens of thousands of Afghan refugees, but can’t locate about a third of the children that were detained for illegally crossing the southern border and released to those claiming to be sponsors and/or family? This is scary, the possibility of child exploitation and abuse is staggering.
Why is it that people laugh at Elon Musk when he talks about settling Mars, but then freak out when he explains “[t]here have been five mass-extinction events in the fossil record. People have no comprehension of these things. Unless you’re a cockroach or a mushroom - or a sponge - you’re fucked?”1 Yea, Musk is a cool genius, but may want to work on his people skills…
Why has the Biden Administration mandated vaccinations for the military and is pushing for vaccine mandates in the private sector, but employees at the White House, CDC, and FDA are not required to be vaccinated? This does wonders in overcoming vaccine hesitancy…not.
Why is it that three CNN employees were fired for going into the office without being vaccinated, but Jeffrey Toobin, the pantless, Zoom calling, pleasure seeker still has a gig there? Asking for Josey.
