Reflections From a Murky Pond

Not a fan of John Lennon, but he was right in this. Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. In this case, it’s an attack of life getting in the way of my normal blogging schedule. 🙁

Yes, a little known fact is the 4th of July isn’t just America’s Independence Day; it’s also Philippine Republic Day, also known as Philippine–American Friendship Day, the day that the Philippines got its belated independence from the US. So, Maligayang araw ng kalayaan Pilipinas! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

And no; I don’t find this awkward at all. We conquered the Philippines in 1898 for valid political-economic reasons, but by 1935 we were moving them towards independence. They probably would have had it in 1941 or ’42… but the Japanese invaded. 🙄 But, pretty much as soon as WW2 ended in the Pacific, they got it.

Admiral Akbar was wiser than even Lucas gave him credit for. 😆 Yeah, “She” looks like a fine, American woman, but the Bud Lite is dead giveaway. He’s got a surprise package waiting for some unsuspecting guy.

So, Gentlemen, be wary. There’s a lot of traps out there. Always check their beer choice first.

So, the deranged pedophile that the Democrats installed into the White House was just in Japan, attending the G7 Summit. While there he decided to mumble and rant about “The Quad,” which is an alliance of America, Australia, India, and Japan aimed at keeping the four nations policies in sync to address threats in the Indo-Pacific and South China Sea regions – i.e., an Anti-China military-political-economic alliance.

I doubt many people in this audience or any other audience would’ve said that two years after being elected, I’d be able to convince India, Australia, Japan, and the United States to form an organization called ‘the Quad’ to maintain stability in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea.

— Joe “Gaffemaster” Biden

Yeah, that almost sounds good. Hell, it almost sounds like the deserved crowing of an actual world leader. But, of course, it’s a bald-faced lie as one must expect from something like Biden. The truth is that Quad predates Biden’s residency in the White House, and it’s re-establishment being one of President Trump’s many unsung and unlauded international achievements.

But, the Quad Co-opter is going to drone on (pun intended) about how he did this and should be given credit for it.

A federal judge, Judge T. Kent Wetherell II, in an evening session on Thursday, May 11, 2023, blocked the Biden and Co. from implementation a policy that would allow for the release without court dates – just hours before the end of the Title 42 public health order.

Judge T. Kent Wetherell II imposed a two-week restraining order on the Biden administration policy, which would release illegal immigrants into the US population without a court date or any means of tracking them. The only “restriction” upon their “parole” would be that they would be requested to ask for a court appearance by mail, or to make an appointment at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office.

Think about that! Biden and Co. are trying to release 10,000 or more illegal invaders a day into our country with no means of tracking them or any real plans to deal with them at all.

Fortunately, an American judge has granted us a reprieve and, hopefully, the Courts will disallow this in perpetuity. If they don’t things are going to very bad and very dangerous soon, and that’s going to made worse by the Dems and their ilk villifying and prosecuting any and all Americans who take the needed steps to protect themselves, their families, and their communities from these released invaders.
