Profiles in Stupidity

 


Friends, the world's greatest tennis player will once again be barred from competing in the U.S. because he isn't vaccinated against COVID-19.  Vaccine mandates have been lifted for Americans in almost all contexts, in case you haven't noticed, but we continue to insist that international visitors offer proof of vaccination (unless they're claiming asylum or just strolling across the southern border, of course).  What idiocy!  Djokovic has robust natural immunity against COVID, and he's one of the healthiest men on the planet.  Why would we stubbornly refuse him entry to the U.S.?  It's not a matter of public health, that's for sure -- not unless you equate "public health" with maintaining the "credibility" of leftists, Democrats, and COVID fascists, which the Biden Administration assuredly does.  In other words, Djokovic's presence in the U.S. would be affront to all the COVID extremists whose authoritarianism Djokovic has criticized and refused to bow down before.  Ergo, he cannot be allowed in.  As usual, foreigners can be held to a higher standard, because they have fewer rights.  The real tragedy here is that the results of any tournament that excludes Djokovic will be permanently marred by his absence.  Whoever wins the U.S. Open this September will have an asterisk next to his name for all time, because of the self-serving arrogance of Biden and his cronies.  For shame!

  1. Dr. Waddy from Jack: Meanwhile our southern border remains an open sore bereft of the rule of law; it could be and should be governed according to our laws but the far leftist handlers of the marionette in OUR White House will not have it so. But they were and are happy to exercise the windfall of power
    and unprecedented authority afforded them by Covid. Such arbitrary and whimsical dictate, historically proven the lot of those cursed by far left rule, will be ours in all settings if we allow it enough time to prevail.

  2. Dr.Waddy fromJack: Re: the above: Sen. Graham's proposal today to use the military against the Mexican cartels floats my boat. Heavy use of drones in Mexico might be the ticket. Would Mexico tolerate this?The possibility of armed conflict with Mexico thereby is appalling but "enough is too much! . . . "The drug attack on our country, especially that of fentynal, must be met with all necessary force.Military closure of the border must commence immediately. This administration's shameful and purposeful failure to police the border has brought on an intolerable invasion of our country and constitutes a first class national security threat, nothing less. Destruction of the cartels might also afford some relief for the luckless and wretched who understandably seek haven in the US from the lawlessness fostered by the barbaric cartels. Were the "government" of Mexico to make war upon us we would of course fight back; the cartels ARE the defacto government of Mexico and toleration of their onslaught is the work of americans who purpose the destruction of America. Dr.Waddy: I know you know alot about Latin America; am I right in this?

  4. Jack, a "rule of law" of sorts does obtain at the southern border -- it's just not the law "on the books" (who cares about those dusty tomes?) but the law inside the heads of our woke overlords. You better believe that some kind of order prevails, though. For instance, they have to meter the insanity so as to keep public outrage on a slow boil. They're doing a fine job of it, too!

    Jack, I don't know any more about the drug cartels than you do, but I do know that they are part and parcel of the system, such as it is, at the southern border that is, in many ways, working to the advantage of U.S. employers and Democratic politicians. As I understand it, MOST of the people traipsing across that border are doing so with the assistance of the cartels. Will we, therefore, "declare war" on them? Uhhhh... Maybe in the sense that we've been engaged in a "war on drugs" since the 80s -- in other words, in the sense that we'll spin our wheels uselessly and flap our arms all the while. No, I think the cartels are here to stay.

  5. Dr.Waddy from Jack: If the cartels are here(the western hemisphere?) to stay then we can at least rid our country of their anarchic presence. They are no less than a foreign invading force and must be dealt wth as such. Unless they are captured they must not be afforded due process; if captured they would have the rights of pows but would be answerable for war crimes. The y must be taken in hand by the miltary and the border militarily defended. Immigration, as defined in our statutes, in their judicial construction and in administrative law promulgated properly: that is, in accomplishing the purposes and the intent of statutory and judicial law and in not serving the whims of imaginative executives, must continue in order to help those we are able to help.

  6. Dr. WaddyfromJack: That's a very good point: say we know a truck is driven by the cartel - can we destroy it if its full of desperate refugees?God forbid.

  7. Jack, I personally am not a big believer in the militarization of our treatment of the (Mexican) cartels, because I respect Mexico's sovereignty. The problem is that Mexico doesn't respect OUR sovereignty...and neither do we. That's our own stupid mistake, though. Any country with a backbone would INSIST that the Mexicans get their house minimally in order, or else we would simply close the border. We're too feckless to contemplate such measures, needless to say.
