Friends, good news (if you're a cockroach): WWIII is closer than ever! That's because the Ukrainians are getting extremely comfortable with the idea of attacking Russia directly. Granted, their attacks are pathetically weak, but they're doing their best to wreak vengeance on Mother Russia. The fact that, in doing so, they're bringing the world incrementally closer to direct NATO versus Russia conflict doesn't seem to bother them. Somewhat incredibly, the fact that they're inviting nuclear retaliation on their own homeland doesn't seem to faze them either. Presumably, they're counting on the fact that Russia will laugh off their pinprick strikes. Maybe so. In many ways the bottom line is that the great warlord President Zelensky is simply out of his depth. He was promised that Western miracle weapons would bring him victory. It turns out, though, that Russians aren't pushovers. Gee, who saw that coming? Zelensky's recent strikes against Russian targets, therefore, should be seen for what they are: tacit admissions of weakness. Of course, that doesn't make them any less incendiary.
All this and more is discussed, in breathtaking depth, on this week's Newsmaker Show, along with other breaking news items, such as: Nigel Farage's bold and incredibly consequential battle against political "debanking", the latest on the Biden scandals and their political impact, the Biden Administration's refusal to grant Secret Service protection to RFK, Jr., whether the fix is in for Joe Biden on the Democratic side, the politicization of the strategic petroleum reserve by Sleepy Joe, and the state of the race, head-to-head, between Biden and Trump. Finally, in our "This Day in History" segment, we look back on the Gulf War of 1990-91 and its short-term and long-term impacts (which were wildly different).
It's another hard-hitting radio show, packed with stellar commentary and unique insights. You'd be downright nutty to miss it!

In other news, you might have heard that this Jack Smith guy isn't a big fan of DJT. In fact, he's leveled a whole bunch of additional charges at him, which could even carry the death penalty! Oh my. I doubt Donald Trump will be hanged by the neck until dead, although there's no doubt that this legal onslaught is designed to choke the political viability out of him, and probably out of the populist wing of the GOP too, once and for all. Will it work??? That's the question of the hour, which won't be fully resolved until the 2024 election, and beyond, if my guess is right. That is to say, the results we get on election night may have less to do with who ends up as president than you might think!

In what could be the beginning of a (very drawn-out) downward spiral for U.S. public finances, a major ratings agency has downgraded the creditworthiness of the U.S. government. The Biden Administration in incensed! Of course, the Biden Administration also says that our government came within inches of being overthrown on January 6th, 2021, and, just a few years ago, we were governed by a guy who loves Nazis, breaks the law for fun, and who is presently tied with the incumbent in polls for 2024. So...we should worry A LOT (!!!) politically, but not at all financially? Uh, sure. Plus, according to the Biden camp, we can keep on borrowing massive amounts indefinitely, so lend us money at rock bottom rates and learn to like it, you stupid foreigners! Good luck selling that bill of goods, Sleepy Joe.
Dr.Waddy from Jack: Who the hell is this Jack Simth character and why should we give good gaddam about him?!

Dr. Waddy from Jack: Jack Smith rather. Re the broadcast: Desert Storm: The superb performance of our military confirmed the success of our all volunteer services. Never thought it would work; glad it did.Gen.s Powell and Schwartzkopf were a team we were most fortunate to have. The campaign was brilliantly conceived and executed. President Bush was a very competent war leader; his skilled diplomacy earned us some very unlikely Arab allies.He wisely cooperated with his very well selectedcommanders and reminded me of FDR in that. Too bad he was defeated by a draft dodging low life.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: Oh yes, the MSM, the Vietnam era spitters and ho, ho, Ho Chi Minh traitors did their best to work American defeat inthe Gulf War. They set up loudspeakers outside the White House and succeeded in costing Pres. Bush alot of sleep, the vicious little slimeballs!How very much they hoped to savage military and veteran morale as they had over Vietnam. But in '91 they were confronted by a nation shamed by its lack of support for the Vietnam guys and they ran squeaking back into their rat holes!
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: Pres. Bush I did let us down on gov't spending but: he deservedly has a supercarrier named after him; sure as hell slick willy will never enjoy that honor.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: Biden's antiamerican ventriloquists want us to be completely lacking in energy self sufficiency and necessarily beholden to neo medieval potentates.How very much they would love to have a pretense to impose rationing. Think of the potential power to force all manner of woke regulations such an emergency would afford.Why Covid would look like child's play!
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: If their vicious politics by prosecution fails to keep DJT from being elected I expect the antiamericans to freak. He'll be federally pardoned on inauguration day and as for the NY AG's little snit, well, what the deuce could she do about it? I don't think the NY State police would appreciate being tasked with seizing him! The neomarxists may have shot the bolt on this one and I don't think they can endure having their all important
ReplyDeletefeelings dealt such insolent dirt! Trump all the way for America!
Jack, I'm not crazy about Jack Smith either, but prosecutors have enormous power in our system, as you know -- and judges even more! You live by the sword, you die by the sword.
ReplyDeleteAgreed: the Gulf War was superbly conducted, BUT we fielded a Cold War army in those days, armed to the teeth, and we faced a third-rate opponent. We can safely assume that U.S. readiness now isn't what it was then.
Jack, I believe the U.S.S. Bill Clinton is a hospital ship for seamen with venereal diseases. And a proud ship she is, too!
Hmm. Rationing. Yes, the Deep Staters would take delight in it! I'm sure it's coming, sooner or later. Our rights have already been rationed -- for the sake of Mother Earth, mind you!
I'm not sure whether the 2024 election is "existential" for you and me, Jack, but it may well be for Trump. If he wins, he gets to walk. If he loses, he almost certainly will spend the rest of his life behind bars -- unless the Supreme Court throws him a bone, or Merrick Garland does, which he might, if Trump were permanently neutralized politically. Wining the election, in any case, might be the easy part. Getting the powers-that-be to admit you've won could be much harder.
Speaking of pardons, I still don't understand why Trump didn't give himself a blanket one on the way out of office. That was a massive (and typical, if I may so) oversight.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: I dunno; 3rd rate powers can be hard fighters; eg.Ukraine, Finland, N. Vietnam. The Iraqis had alot of experience in their prolix,hellish run with Iran. Maybe the Iraqi soldier was like the Italians in WWII. Their dictator regarded them as insects. Schwartzkopf's left hook was classic and our superlative airpower came closer to deciding a war than any other had. My guess is that our military is much feared and with a President who respects them (i.e. NO dem) they would do well. They have much post Cold War experience too.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: If those antamerican deplorables try to stop an elected DJT team from taking office then it would be 1861 again, I think.
ReplyDeleteSure, third-rate powers can be capable...but not generally compared to first-rate powers! I agree with you that the combat-focused portion of our military (which is actually shockingly small) is likely very able. As long as we fight wars that don't involve fighting, or only involve dropping smart bombs or fighting at the squad-level, we should be fine. In a big war...your guess is as good as mine.
ReplyDelete1861 all over again, huh? I would remind you that the rebels LOST that war, and nowadays I seriously question whether more than a handful of Americans would ever be willing to take up arms against the government.
