QUICK TAKES….

The death of Alexei Navalny should be a wake-up call to all voters. There is very little doubt that Putin is responsible. The mark of a dictator is the lack of fear of reprisal for his actions. Hitler never once worried about being held accountable for killing 6 million Jews. He had total immunity…sound familiar. “Evil prevails when good people do nothing”…remember that when you cast your vote in November.

How did Trump get permission from the State Department or Homeland Security to allow Viktor Orban to visit Mar-A-Lago? Is anyone free to come and go as they please? What if Trump decides Putin should be invited to a pig roast in New York City? We focus on migrants who have never killed the hundreds of people notched on Orban’s gun but we let the ruthless dictator of Hungary visit without even raising an eyebrow? What’s up with that?

For those of you keeping score, Japan and the United Kingdom are presently in a recession. This is another indication of how well the US has fared after COVID. We have made huge strides economically to re-establish and maintain a standard of living that was enjoyed pre-COVID faster than any other country. All the signs are present. Gross Domestic Product is recovering, unemployment is down-still, millions of new jobs are being created, the stock market–and your Savings Plan–is up, and inflation is trending downward. The only reason food prices are still up is that Supermarket chains are trying to take advantage of the inflation impression by gouging shoppers. Their refusal to return to realistic prices is just another attempt to extort your wallet for as long as they can get away with it. Don’t be fooled. Some Supermarket chain will break the line in an effort to lure customers into their stores and that will signal a return to realistic pricing.

So Putin hopes Biden gets re-elected…what a load of BS. Putin knows Trump is what he called “a useful idiot” who wants desperately to build a Moscow (Trump) Tower. Putin will continue to interfere in our elections, support Trump because he’s against funding the Ukrainian war effort and will transform America into a dictatorship. All dictators want more dictators so that their individual positions in their own countries are stronger. Putin, Xi Lin, Kim Jong Un, Assad and others want Trump to bring America into the fold. Don’t let him unless you want to surrender your freedoms.

A suggestion…if you want interesting reading, we refer you to googling “Marjorie Taylor Greene” on Wikipedia. She’s very interesting and extremely consistent in her thinking. Spoiler alert: she’s against every sane idea anyone ever had so it’s a safe bet that she will oppose anything the Dems propose. We’re not saying the Dems are always sane but the odds are definitely in their favor over the GOP.

And here’s a legal question for the books…Donald Trump stole 300 boxes of classified docs from the facilities in Washington DC. That’s where and when the crime occurred. So why did Jack Smith choose Florida for the trial location? He knew that Judge Aileen Cannon was incompetent, Trump-leaning from past decisions and the least experienced judge available. So why Florida? As it turns out, Judge Cannon is true to form–she’s allowing every ridiculous legal motion to delay the trial to give Trump–who is obviously guilty beyond ANY DOUBT–a way to avoid a proper trial. What was Jack thinking?

The comparison of Biden having classified docs and Trump having classified docs is laughable. While Congress is grilling John Hur, the special prosecutor who wrote the memory slam against Biden, the real issue is again being obscured. Trump stole 300 boxes; he tried to hide them; we don’t know if he copied and distributed them; we don’t know why he took them; and we haven’t heard any details about the subject matter in those docs. But to allow Trump to avoid a trial where he is guilty as charged and everyone knows it while beating on Biden for having a fraction or less of the same docs is another example of the failure of our justice system. Adam Schiff, Democrat from California should have asked John Hur this question: “If Biden had taken 300 boxes of classified docs, stored them in unsecured locations, made them available to any number of houseguests, hidden them when he knew officials would be coming to his home, refused to return them until a Federal Search Warrant uncovered them and encouraged his lawyers to lie to the Federal Government–would you, Mr. Hur. consider that a crime?” We all know the answer to that question.
