So much craziness . . . what to say?

There’s so much craziness going on in the nation’s capitol, it’s hard to know where to start.

Of course, the shutdown is on a lot of peoples’ minds, wondering if the Democrats will force Republicans to give in to their demands for $1.5 trillion of unnecessary spending.

So who can deny former presidents can’t continue to wield influence after they’re gone.

Obamacare is still being used to wrest taxpayers’ money out of their pockets for various wasteful purposes.

For instance, healthcare for millions of illegal aliens. Leftist Dems are doing all they can to keep them here as future voters to give them total and tyrannical control of all citizens.

The leftist media allies are doing all they can to muddy the waters, hoping to fool us country rubes.

How about COVID shots

I don’t know if it’s wise to take a COVID shot, but I know I don’t want one.

I don’t watch pro football on TV but I have heard about young professional football players, who should be the healthiest people in the world, dying unexpectedly, possibly from effects of taking the COVID jab.

Did the NFL require players to take shots? JC Tretter, National Football League Players Association president, said “no” in a letter from July 2021.

He wrote: “Last year, it was our player leadership that insisted on daily testing. It was our player leadership that insisted on the NFL forcing clubs to upgrade facilities, use sophisticated contact tracing and create a workplace that was as safe as possible for us. These protocols were not imposed by the NFL; they were imposed by our union leaders. We relied on the advice of leading experts and advocated for their recommendations to become realities.”

A quick death is not always a bad thing, but it certainly seems so for young and in-shape athletes.

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been taking a lot of flak recently over his attitude about unnecessary vaccinations.

Kennedy opposes COVID vaccinations for healthy individuals.

Taking Warren to the Woodshed

An article by Cole Harrison in The Post Millennial commented on Kennedy’s clash with Sen. Elizabeth Warren in a recent Senate Finance Committee hearing about vaccinations caught our attention. Warren opposes anything the party brass doesn’t promote.

The article reported: Warren “tried to paint Kennedy as some kind of monster. His crime? He changed the government’s COVID vaccine advice for healthy people. ‘You are effectively denying people vaccines,’” she claimed, full of fake outrage as usual.

“Kennedy stayed calm. He explained that he was just updating a recommendation. There was no science to support forcing it on every single healthy person. But Warren wouldn’t let it go. She kept talking about a ‘promise.’” During Warren’s line of questioning, Kennedy said he “never promised that I was going to recommend products for which there is no indication.”… Warren said again that he had made a “promise,” to which Kennedy replied, “I never promised that I was going to recommend products for which there is no indication.

Then he added: “And I know you’ve taken $855,000 from pharmaceutical companies, Senator!”

Cream Rises to the Top?

So much for cream rising to the top in national politics.

Warren is an embarrassment, both to Oklahoma and the nation.

She says she grew up in Oklahoma. Every time she opens her mouth she makes everyone living in or from Oklahoma seem dumb, just by association with the claim that she’s a product of this state rather than Massachusetts.

As she was preparing her presidential run in late 2018, she released the results of a DNA test performed by a Stanford professor that indicated she had a distant indigenous ancestor from the Americas.

The test was meant to answer critics, including President Donald Trump, who accused Warren of making false claims about her past.

But the move backfired, as Trump continued to gleefully deride Warren using the racial slur “Pocahontas,” and many tribal leaders rejected the test as a false and biased way to measure Native American heritage.

While the Left attempts to make Trump’s derision of Warren a racial slur, I don’t think that was the point at all.

He was just pointing out Warren’s dishonesty and willingness to make any claim to gain political points.

I’ve always sort of wanted to find an Indian in my background. It might explain my swarthy complexion, especially when I was a kid and turned “brown as an Indian” in summertime.

Besides, you don’t have to have to Indian or part Indian to have a good impression of our indigenous citizens. Travel east of I-35 in Oklahoma and you’ll find that a large percentage of the people have some Indian DNA.

Also, I loved it when the late Mollie Shepherd wrote an “Indian News” column in this newspaper in times gone by.
