Roundup

 



You no sooner attempt to step away from the news cycle to concentrate on producing an overdue magazine than boom, everything goes rodeo.

Governor Abbott invokes Texas' Invasion Clause, authorizing exceptional measures to stem the flood of migrants into the state, some 1.26 million in 2022 alone. Abbott intends to:


Deploy the National Guard to safeguard the border, and to repel and turn back immigrants trying to cross the border illegally

Deploy the Texas Dept. of Public Safety (DPS) to arrest and return immigrants to the border who crossed illegally, and to arrest illegal immigrants for criminal activity;

Build a wall in multiple counties on the border;

Deploy gun boats;

Designate Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations;

Enter into a compact with other states to secure the border;

Enter into agreements with foreign powers to enhance border security;

Provide resources for border counties to increase their efforts to respond to the “border invasion.”


Quite a thing, to put it mildly, and that's not all. According to AP, a Russian missile/s(?) hit a farm in Poland, causing outraged cries for NATO heads to call an Article 4 meeting, frontrunners to suggest Article 5 and, well, war with Russia. No, not the proxy one we're fighting now but the real deal and all that goes with it. Huh, World War III. We can imagine the overworked DIs at Benning working 'round the clock to learn their intakes' pronouns.




But the next Big One's averted for now, thank God. Turns out the missile in question was a Ukrainian S 300 which went astray trying to take out a flying Russkie adversary. AP walked back the story and Biden confirmed the new narrative, much to Zelensky's discomfort. In fairness to the Ukraine's diminutive if coke fueled President, the most popular Ruler of America ever, Old Joe, must be a difficult paymaster. 




And then, just as you're recovering from the news that Armageddon isn't quite yet, 45 announces a bid for the White House in 2024. Will he be defeated by JEB! in the most insanely vicious revenge arc ever? 

That, along with everything else, remains to be seen. In other positive news, Nancy Pelosi's finally fired...

Saints preserve us,

But is WW3 a bug or a feature? The West is the heir of Rome, and Rome is (either codedly, or actually descended from) Edom. The Best People will not come into their own until Edom is destroyed. So nuclear conflagration is a Good Thing.

Yeah that sounds nutty, but when you have paranoid, narcissistic, high-IQ persons contemplating how the universe has crapped on them for millennia, for absolutely no reason at all, you get some goofy beliefs. A pity, that. Obviously intelligence is not an unalloyed good: Stupider people would have gotten bored and gone out looking for booze, pot, and sex long before they came up with such claptrap.

And the hits just keep on comin'. As noted, watch to the end as J.T. runs for cover. And watch Xi Jinping's face. He's pissed.

Trump will not win in 2024. Even if inflation and unemployment are at 20 percent and gas is over ten dollars a gallon. The Deep State will make sure President Biden will be re-elected.

Besides, never underestimate the damage upper middle class white woman can do. They all hate Trump and will vote abortion today, abortion tomorrow, abortion forever.

* It is you who follows the Muslim custom of not wearing any form of jewelry during Ramadan.
* It is you who departs for Hawaii over the Christmas season so as to avoid past criticism for NOT participating in seasonal White House religious events.

Yes, It was you who said ALL those things, as well as being Joe Biden’s Puppet Master for the past 2 years.

Man, I come back from being out with food poisoning for a couple days to find this: What jackass masquerading as an elephant thought War Turtle Mitch as Speaker was a good idea? I smell a Bush or a Cheney behind this.

Food poisoning's a beast, Wild! As for the War Turtle... Good Lord.
