COVID fallout

Remember, when you hear a DC swamp dweller – elected or otherwise – making apologist gurglings for Joe Biden that include “The impact of COVID on the economy..,” what they are really glossing over is “The impact of the federal government’s overreaction to COVID on the economy…” which they and Biden caused.  Stupidity is a far more communicable disease than COVID in America’s blue cities, and it has created a political pandemic for which there is no vaccine.

ShotSpotter

While reading the article about ShotSpotter, I’m curious how a device  can be labeled racist by these esteemed congressional members.

Now I don’t have a D at the end of my name so I must be missing something here. Common sense would dictate that if a majority of shootings are occurring in certain parts of the city that the city council members and congressional members would want to support the Boston Police Department with all available assets to ensure that they are responding to a specific location of a active shooter. But why would these members want to give the BPD a platform to get a shooter off the streets in a timely manner when it’s easier to call a device sitting atop of a pole racist.

Conservative voices

It would really be nice if the conservatives of Massachusetts had some representation in Congress. Instead we are stuck with people who support the policies of President Biden that are destroying our country. The same people who were looking for ways to pull down the Trump policies that created low inflation, low interest, low unemployment, lower taxes and economic growth. Our local folks are not much better picking up a billion-dollar illegal immigrant tab without calling out by name those responsible for the open border mess. Nothing is going to change until we change the people in power and return some sanity to our laws and policies

Hunter Biden

I suspect that Hunter Biden rolled the trial by jury dice against very unfavorable odds rather than forge a plea agreement on gun charges because he knew there would be either a pardon or commutation in his dad’s back pocket following a guilty verdict. Being the First Son has a certain, um, privilege, like sitting in a very lucrative board seat on a Ukrainian energy company absent any expertise in the industry.
