Introduction
As a child, did you ever spin around in a circle with your forehead on a vertical stick? Some of us kids did that for fun back in the 1960s and 1970s. The challenge was to see how many times you could spin around without falling. It was a fun game. The winner was whoever spun around the most times without falling from being dizzy.
The current political “spin on a stick” game, which the Ununited Socialist States of America (USSA, started on 1/6/2021) is playing, is not a game. Let me write about it! You are welcome to check out the links referenced in this article to find the information, which I found. Political spin is not a fun game.
First Spin
The New York Times: “The U.S. Is Reopening. Here’s What Travelers Need to Know About Testing, Boosters, and More.” By Ceylan Yeginsu, 11/8/2021, updated 11/12/2021. It states, “On Nov. 8, the United States lifted an 18-month ban on international tourists, as long as they show proof of vaccination and a negative coronavirus test.”
The New York Times: “Covid News: U.S. - Mexico Border Reopens to Vaccinated Tourists,” 11/8/2021, updated 11/14/2021. It says, “Tourists enter from Mexico as the U.S. border reopens to vaccinated visitors.”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection. If you open the web page, check out “FY Southwest Land Border Encounters by Month” from October through September, 2018 through 2021. “Tourists” need to prove their “Corony” virus status before entering the USSA legally. Illegal alien invaders do not need to prove anything at all. They are offered free food, free rides or flights, free housing, free forgiveness for their crimes, and much more. Who cares if these illegal aliens are killing, raping, stealing, and so forth? They have illegal alien rights in this once-free-and-great nation, with more rights than tourists. Further, they have more rights than USSA citizens. President Biden, the first president of the USSA who has difficulty remembering what day it is, said so. Well, the puppeteers, who pull his strings, told him to say so, if he was not asleep at the time.
Second Spin
Unfortunately, on 11/5/2021, the USSA House passed a $1,200,000,000,000 ($1.2 trillion) infrastructure monopoly-money-spending-spree bill. Thirteen Rhinos (Republicans in name only) went along with the insanity. Apparently, another Monopoly Money spending spree is coming soon to an inflationary neighborhood near you. It's called H.R.5376 - Build Back Better Act, in case you are wondering.
A dollar here. A dollar there. A dollar ain't worth much nowadays, boys! Watch the US Debt Clock spin for a while! It will make you dizzy!
Third Spin
Was the USA an oil-producing and exporting nation? Yes, it was. Now, is the USSA an oil-importing nation? Sadly, it is. The USSA has started begging for oil imports again. The change happened in 2021. The first president of the USSA stopped the progress, which Trump, the last president of the USA, had made.
The Keystone XL pipeline was the first casualty. The Liquids pipelines - Enbridge Inc. is the second injured party. There are others that may become victims.
Are you happy that the price for a gallon of gas has increased? With tongue placed firmly in cheek, “I am.” We are “saving the planet!” The “USSA Socialist Utopians” are spinning us around on the vertical stick.
Fourth Spin
“The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) said on Wednesday that its net loss for the 2021 fiscal year was $4.9 billion - close to half of the $9.2 billion it lost during the previous year.” Source: “Postal Service [L]oss [N]early [H]alved," The Hill, by Caroline Vakil, 11/11/2021. (Yes, I corrected the capitalization errors in the title.)
I'm so happy that the USSA Postal Service (USSPS) is losing less money than it once was. Give them another ten or more years. They will figure out how to lose even more money, unless the USSA becomes a vassal state of China before then.
Fifth Spin
“Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said Wednesday [that] he plans to sign a sweeping legislative package[,] curtailing the authority public schools, local health agencies[,] and businesses have over COVID-19 restrictions.” Source: “Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee [P]lans to [S]ign [S]weeping COVID-19 [L]egislation." Knoxville News Sentinel, by Melissa Brown and Duane W. Gang, Nashville Tennessean, 11/10/2021. (I corrected the title capitalization errors and the stylistic errors in the quote.) This is good, Gov. Bill Lee!
Unfortunately, “As of now, Judge J. Ronnie Greer's decision to bring back a school mask mandate will stay in place until the conclusion of the lawsuit brought by four families, [which] could take months and possibly longer[,] depending on motions filed, whether or not there's a trial, and even the appeals process. But[,] there are circumstances that could change things — and possibly remove the mask mandate — as the court case play[s] out.” Source: “Wondering [W]hen the Knox County Schools [M]ask [M]andate [C]ould [E]nd? Legal [E]xperts have [S]ome [I]deas." Knoxville News Sentinel, by Isabel Lohman, 11/9/2021, updated 11/10/2021. (I corrected their title capitalization errors and the style errors in the quotation.)
J. Ronnie Greer, Senior United States District Judge in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Tennessee, apparently has no idea about what God's law and the (former) USA Constitution affirm regarding the freedom we have as humans created in God's image.
Conclusion
This article has spun my head around on the vertical “socialist utopian” stick five times. I can't go around a sixth time. I need to fall down and rest for a while. Dizzy, my head is spinning!
It is hard to turn right and go straight when your forehead is spinning around on a vertical stick. I have stopped the spinning. Now, I will continue to turn right and go straight. I wish that this once-great nation would do likewise.
My next article today will be about college football fun. Please wait for it.
