Over the last six or seven months, it has been difficult to pare down the topics that I could talk about on the radio show. There is so much going on in our world that I feel needs to be shared and discussed but I only have an hour. At this point expanding the show isn't feasible due to time constraints since I have a real job. But now and then it means I should do a random thoughts and observations column.

Joe Biden asks for more money because he says there is going to be another pandemic. Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director of the World Health Organization, admits in private that the coronavirus likely escaped from the Wuhan lab. My tinfoil hat has been sitting on my head for quite some time when it comes to this topic, but now I think I need to strap it on. I'm not sure how they're going to claimed the monkeypox will be the next pandemic, so watch for something new to come along. Maybe we need to look at the grants Anthony Fauci has been granting to other labs throughout the world for the next virus.

We have heard quite a bit about the baby formula crisis, especially the violations that shut down the Abbott production facility. Now that the plant has reopened, although it was shut down due to flooding, we are now being told that the FDA is investigating 129 other complaints, including the possible death of one child that may have contracted a bacteria from the formula produced there. These complaints were received beginning in December of last year yet nothing was mentioned before. Why? Did the FDA bureaucrats forget about them? Somebody just happened upon a pile of documents stacked in a corner somewhere? Or are they continuing to manipulate the supply of food? I would say at the very least they are trying to distract us from their incompetence.

Fed chairman James Powell said this week that inflation and high gas prices are not due to the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. He pointed out correctly that one month prior to the Russia beginning military action, inflation was at 7%. Gas prices were up exponentially. He didn't come right out and say it, but he intimated that government spending and fed bank actions, or inactions, are the primary cause of our current economic situation. I'm sure that when Joe Biden reads his statements on one of his cheat sheets, he'll get mad.

In case you had not seen the story, Joe Biden is given an instruction card prior to entering meetings or speaking in public. The card actually tells him how to enter the room, which chair he will sit in, when he should sit down, the names of the people he should acknowledge, and finally the person on whom he should call to start the meeting. I don't care if you support him or not, anyone that needs that level of instruction in order to function is not capable of carrying out the duties and responsibilities of their position.

Ladies, when are you going to learn how to use the pump on a bottle of hand lotion? It's been around a long time and so have you, yet you don't seem to grasp the concept. Guys will back me up on this one: how many times have you called your significant other to come in and take some of the lotion because you pumped out too much? It happens regularly and frequently. We don't want to smell like Lilac. Just put it on like we do when we pour too much Old Spice out of the bottle.

We are being warned once again that our electrical grid cannot handle the power requirements an extremely hot summer. Yet we are being told that we must add millions of electric vehicles. how is a grid that can't serve us our current needs going to handle the additional requirements? it's not and we do not have the ability to expand the grid to be able to meet the requirements. Not only would it take time and money, but the environmentalists would fight at every step of the way and many private property owners will fight having more power lines erected across their land. So once again I'll ask the questions: why not hydrogen fuel cells or natural gas-powered vehicles? Much more reliable, much more efficient, and definitely more environmentally friendly.

This past weekend I was walking in the woods and a tree fell right in front of me. It did not make a sound. It must not have known I was there.

As Kroger and other retailers are pulling patriotic American products from their shelves, because they received a couple of complaints that these were offensive, we must remind ourselves that we are the vast majority. We must remind ourselves that it only takes a few minutes to write an e-mail to these companies expressing your disagreement with their actions and reminding them that the vast majority of Americans love their country. And if we want to save our country, 20 minutes a week to send out emails to those with whom we disagree, to those who are reacting to a very vocal minority, is a very small price to pay. Especially when you compare the price paid by many of our loved ones when they fought to protect our rights and our freedom. It's the least we can do.
