It is time to admit that public education operates like a planned economy. It’s a bureaucratic system where everybody’s role is spelled out in advance, and there are few incentives for innovation and productivity. It’s not a surprise when a school system doesn’t improve. It more resembles a Communist economy than our own market economy.

That about sums up the immunity provided by the various COVID-19 shots. It’s also why the CDC had to literally change their working definition of what a vaccine is. The ones getting immunity are the Pharma giants, who have been granted immunity from criminal prosecution and civil law suits for the damages and deaths their drugs cause.
Despite his non-handling of the recent train derailments, which have poisoned American towns, Biden’s Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg is amply qualified for his job. He’s been rear-ended quite a few times and probably pulled a train or two in his day. 😉
And no; I don’t really care at all about Buttigieg’s sexual proclivities – beyond the inherent humor in the intersection of his sexual preferences and last name. The only reason I’ve decided to promulgate this bit of political humor is because Biden and Co. do care that he’s a queer. Indeed, it the odds on bet that Buttigieg’s being a queer is the primary, if not sole, reason that he was appointed as Transportation Secretary.
Like so many other misuses of language, this is what the Left has done with the term “conspiracy theory.” They’ve warped discourse enough to weaponize the term to be used against anyone and everyone who disagrees with their agenda and its propaganda.
So, last week Ole’ Creepy Uncle Joe hared off to Kyiv, Ukraine to make some sort of “statement” while handing his family’s business partner, Volodymyr Zelenskyy another big chunk of American taxpayers’ money ($500 million). And, of course, it was something of a spectacular event with air sirens going off and explosions rocking the city. It was truly a stunning time, a “great risk” to Biden, and a sure sign of his courage and commitment to the cause.
Except that it was just theater, and very bad theater at that.
Indeed, Biden’s bad theater was so bad that even CNN – ever Democrat loyalists – felt compelled to comment upon it.
I’ve been here for the past five days. I have not heard any explosions. I have not heard any air sirens, until about half an hour ago, right when Joe Biden was in the center of Kyiv

But, Biden’s bad theater is par for the course with this “administration.” It’s just a bit more expensive than most off, off, off, off Broadway productions. It’s also the best that they can do, since they have to worry about a Code Silver every moment Biden’s awake and moving around where people can see or hear him.
