India Ink
Watching President Trump's visit to India immediately raised our eyebrows as he strolled among the masses, for news reports had already alerted us to a DOUBLING of work visas allowed for foreign workers this year -- and a high percentage of those workers will journey from India, likely saving high tech companies big money as foreigners working for less money again will displace American workers who should rightfully train for and enjoy these domestic job opportunities. While we marvel at all the positive things Trump has done for the country, casting Americans aside and importing "guest" workers in return for god-knows-what international favors or agreements is inordinately wrong.
We also believe that the Trump administration needs to be very, very careful in allowing and encouraging activities potentially hazardous to environmental quality, and one need not be a bug-eyed leftist to embrace such concerns.
Congratulations, Democrats: You did it! Whilst you folks pursued orgasmic fantasies of denying Trump the Presidency through lies aplenty, you either ignored or allowed a little old "democratic socialist" (try substituting the word, communist) buddy named Bernie Sanders to hijack a significant part of your party, thereby sacrificing any vestige of sanity as both he and a cattle car full of cartoon-ish Democrat presidential wannabees vie to become the most inane candidate on display. Guess who the thoroughly brainwashed college students want because all they hear is free, free, free stuff? "B.S." stands for more than a person's name in this case. Well done.
The Future is Female: This phrase appears over and over again on TV shows and news features, and we wonder what impressionable boys think when they see four words almost guaranteed to send a message, and the message is that boys are useless, irrelevant and their dreams of the future will likely be eclipsed by women. Apparently, destroying the Boy Scouts of America and decreasing the population of males attending college wasn't enough, and there exists a four-word sentence to prove it. Ah yes, d-i-v-e-r-s-i-t-y, ain't it grand?
American Idol and the Democrat debates seem almost indistinguishable from one another. Somebody performs their fantasy, questions are asked and judges or alleged journalists rank the performances by way of questions and responses.
Horse-faced reporters: Unless they really love Bernie Sanders, and it seems many do, they need to expose his true intentions regarding destruction of the America we know. Who needs Russian interference when you have Sanders in the race? The only Russian collusion I want is to see that infamous painting of Putin and Medvedev attired in women's clothing touring the world. Who says there's nothing funnier than a polonium sandwich on rye?
Coronavirus on parade: Right across the Southern border with illegal immigrants from around the world, we suspect. At least, it's not impossible.
2,000 Maniacs isn't just an old movie: How many of those former DOJ folk who signed a statement asking for Atty. General Barr's removal are Democrats -- or, more likely, just garden-variety Trump haters?
Goodbye, China: The rest of the world and especially the U.S. need to go into high gear to avoid relying upon China for important future products involving medicine, manufacturing and other tools of anticipated global domination wielded by China. Once upon a time, we needed China for very little, and it's high time to return to those thrilling days of yesteryear. Thanks Bill Clinton, thanks NAFTA, thanks naughty politicians on both sides of the aisle for our current position. As things stand, I guess it takes a Trump to raise a village.

Infection Redirection
The emergence of a new coronavirus in China may not result in the ultimate pandemic, but better options for prevention in the U.S. would be reasonable. First of all, if you happen to be an American living in or visiting China, we should not be sending airplanes to bring you back. We may believe we're champions of the quarantine process, but it only takes one tiny error to promote medical chaos. What happens in China should stay in China when world health becomes an issue, and Americans in foreign lands should immediately become as eligible for quarantine as anybody else.
Nor does sending potential disease victims to military bases in the U.S. for quarantine make any sense, no more than housing illegal aliens, all of whom threaten American military personnel merely as incubators of infection. We need our military personnel healthy and strong, and despite assurances from multiple government agencies, opening military locations up to even the tiniest quarantine error could spell national disaster in a world of American haters anxious for pandemonium here. Yet, new reports indicate that the military, perhaps taking a clue from China, is assembling quarantine centers near several bases.
Instead, like "refugees" as widely defined, why not transport potential virus victims to sanctuary cities, obviously crazy about accepting anybody, no questions asked? Or how about housing these folks in palatial Hollywood edifices and estates, many of which exist merely for the self-worship of utter celebrity?
Congratulations to the Obamas for being awarded an obligatory Oscar regarding a factory docu- something or another they put on film. This momentous occasion reminds us fondly of the Nobel Peace Prize Barack Obama received early in his presidency for doing absolutely nothing -- an accomplishment eerily, we fear, about to be reproduced as Sweden submits the name of Greta Thunberg for a Nobel. We wonder if the poor child, now apparently 17, can even pour and drink a glass of water without her parents' managerial intellectual input and consent.
We offer young Greta some advice before she continues to go whole-hog on the climate change issue: If scientists affiliated with NASA and other research ventures are correct in their assertion that a regularly scheduled "solar minimum" phase (we're talking about a paucity of sunspot activity as the sun sort of takes a nap) may be about to influence and cool down the Earth and neighboring planets for several years, "global warming" may not only be desirable, but absolutely crucial for our survival. Or not. Never mind.
Save the planet? The Earth will be just fine, with or without us, particularly without.
The Oscars presentation on TV did not bomb out, but viewership was millions less than last year. Too bad, all that brainy content espoused by the smartest people in the world missed by a television audience obviously too not-woke to tune in. Unimpressed as we were with sheep-herded political comments by the stars of cinema, we at least had hopes that Brad Pitt's interesting comments would be inspiring and uplifting -- until he had to throw in regrets about John Bolton's lack of an interview during the Senate impeachment doings. For Chis'sake Brad Pitt, don'tcha know the man just wants to sell a book like any other normal celeb?
Rush Limbaugh receives the Medal of Freedom from President Trump: Why stop there? If one wants to offer profound thanks to radio hosts who influenced public opinion in their own inimitable way, don't forget Long John Nebel, Frank Edwards, Brad Crandall, Gene Reynolds, Joe Pyne and, oh, so many more -- not to mention talk show hosts whose range extends no further than their home communities.
Police shootings in New York City: Attempts at police "assassinations," according to mayor De Blasio who, strangely, has not been very supportive of law enforcement personnel in his city, perhaps echoing similar attitudes in other cities perpetually ruined by long-term Democrat subjugation-by-administration. Having cautioned his own son that police officers are an entity to fear, De Blasio's sudden turnaround seems political in nature, nothing more, nothing less. NY City: Kick these phonies out of office, from NYC to Albany. Criminals now own the streets with the help of an unyielding Democrat legislature. Nice to see NYC cops mad as hell at this fool of a mayor.
Frankly, it's amazing how law enforcement personnel, who protect gun-hating NY politicians with the very weapons which ordinary citizens are often denied without great difficulty, can continue to protect officials who apparently despise the tools of their trade.
Oh, Canada: Blackface freak Justin Trudeau wants to license members of the press, apparently in some lame attempt to clean up the news. Not only is this frightening, it's also a maneuver we in the states should probably expect in the near future. Beware Canada, beware USA.
