More Quick Hits And Random Observations

If you are being intellectually honest, I don't think anyone can disagree the President Trump's SOTU address highlighted perfectly the differences between the liberals and the conservatives (really everyone else, not just conservatives).

It has also highlighted the lengths to which his opponents in the media will go in trying to tell you that what you saw didn't happen. Pundit after pundit and politician after politician told us that Trump did not connect with the American people. 76% of respondents to the CBS poll and 75% in the CNN poll think otherwise. How can you say with a straight face that no one liked the speech when that many people said they had a positive impression of the speech? Oh, that's right, ignorant people will believe anything.

In addition to the abortion bill making its way through our state legislature is HB 206 (maybe 201) that will require an environmental impact study to be performed any time you are required to get a permit to conduct any type of work. Want to have an electrician come and do some work? Want to re-roof your house? Maybe add a carport? ANY permitted work will require an EIS. Think that will kill jobs in New Mexico?

It's fun to watch the left wing nut jobs struggle with what to call Kamala Harris. Don Lemon was among those that opined they were having trouble fitting Kamala into a box, at least the one that he wanted to fit her into. One parent is Indian and the other is Jamaican, so he can't call her African American, even though she looks AA and he wants her to be AA, as that will presumably help her presidential bid. But he just can't decide if Jamaican-American or Indian-American is a strong enough identity to help her win. How about what she really is- Idiot/American.

I haven't read the Green New Deal, but driving back from Las Cruces yesterday, I heard enough to realize that it's even more moronic than I thought possible. If you want a great business opportunity, learn how to make covered wagons; we're going to need them in 10 years. Thanks NY, CA, VT, MN, NM and the rest of you slack-jawed mouth breathers that elected AOC and her fellow 'do-gooders.'

Ha ha liberals. Virginia is in a state of chaos now that you have the three top officials in hot water because you elected 2 'racists' and a sexual predator. Northam is not getting the normal support from the hypocritical left because he spilled the beans about late term abortions. I'm not sure what the Lt. Governor and Attorney General did to lose widespread support, but it must be pretty bad.

Why couldn't Governor MLG have run into a 2x4 when she ran through those walls? The sad thing is that her video has gone viral and the Tide pod eating members of our country think her demonstration proves that walls along the border won't work.

Remember, we were born free, will remain free and socialism will never, ever become the law of the land, but only if you take action to protect it. Become informed, support the right candidates and tell our elected officials to stop screwing with our rights.
