I slept very soundly Monday night. I woke up feeling pretty happy. I was looking for mean tweets over my morning coffee, but didn\u2019t find any.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I guess it\u2019s going to take a few days before those become a regular thing again.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know how to describe it, I felt a sense of relief. As I\u2019ve said, Trump is no angel, he\u2019s certainly not the second coming.<\/p>\n
But he\u2019s not Biden!! He\u2019s not Harris!\u00a0<\/p>\n
He is a mostly successful businessman who understands cash in \/ cash out and making sure that you get something for the investment you make.<\/p>\n

The Paris Climate accords for example skew charges and fees toward the wealthier western countries taxpayers, and allow emerging countries to pay less, and pollute more, when they could be building their infrastructures from the ground up to be cleaner.<\/p>\n
It makes no sense for China and India to build industries that they\u2019re just going to have to retrofit in 20 years & no doubt by then, the Western Nations will have to pick up the tab for the retrofit too.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a bad investment. Not that being responsible and minimizing pollution is a bad investment, but being on the hook to pay disproportionate carbon taxes does not serve the US Tax Payer.<\/p>\n
The United States is already one of the least polluting nations on the planet. Yes, we could make a case that planetary ecology concerns us all. That\u2019s a true statement, however pumping trillions of dollars into foreign governments hasn\u2019t proven to have the desired effect, pretty much ever.<\/p>\n
There has to be another way. Perhaps making our cleaner technologies available to 3rd world nations at a discount, in exchange for raw materials?<\/p>\n
I was really happy to see us pull out of the World Health Organization. Back at the beginning of COVID it was blatantly obvious that the WHO was compromised and only a puppet of China.\u00a0<\/p>\n
More recently the WHO has made statements that concerned me and made demands that all nations submit to their mandates regarding the next pandemic. Their guidance, obfuscation, and mandates, including statements about not restricting travel to and from China arguably made the COVID pandemic worse.<\/p>\n
Why quarantine people in their homes, but not quarantine travel from the country of a disease\u2019s origin due to fear of being called racist? That\u2019s not medicine, that\u2019s politics.<\/p>\n
The best part of the day was those 51 intelligence officers who certified that Hunter\u2019s laptop was a fake, \u00a0and Miley having their security clearances pulled.<\/p>\n
I blew water out my nose when that came on the TV.<\/p>\n
I can hardly wait to see what he does today & tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
