Introduction
Yes, this article is another about “poly-ticks.” I'm sorry. Sixty-one of my 360 articles before this one have been on or included “poly-ticks.” I have grown tired of writing on the topic. The conclusion, however, will be on a spiritual singing note. I promise! You may sing along!
My sarcastic humor could not resist writing this article. Who sees dead people? Is this once-great nation allied with North Korea? What does all this mean for this nation? Please read further if I have caught your interest.
“The Sixth Sense” Movie
The movie “The Sixth Sense” was released in August 1999. Mrs. Appalachian Irishman and I had not yet returned from Russia (10/1/1994–9/30/1999). I can't find the date on my 1999 desk calendar, but I recall that my wife, some of her family, and I went to see “The Sixth Sense” in October or November 1999. We must have needed a break from traveling and reporting to the churches that had financially supported our mission work.
“I see dead people” is the most notable line from that movie, as whispered by the young actor. I wonder why the quality of movies in general has deteriorated over the years. We haven't been to see a movie in a long time. We have waited for a few good movies to show on television. No, we don't have and don't want one of those live television streaming services! I heard a reader ask the question!
President Biden on 9/28/2022 Looked for a Dead Person
President Biden's gaffe on 9/28/2022 was in the various media sources with the usual spins and commentaries. President Biden was looking in the audience for a live person who died last month.
The National Public Radio (NPR) article is “Biden calls out for late Rep. Jackie Walorski at White House hunger event,” NPR, by Ximena Bustillo, 9/29/2022. That article includes a 59-second audio-video segment, in which President Biden looked for a person who, unfortunately, had died in an automobile accident last month.
I hope that the person who was killed in the automobile accident was ready to go. I am sensitive to news about vehicle wrecks and those injured badly or killed. The 18-year-old, uninsured driver who failed to yield to my right of way almost killed me on 3/29/2016. I have written about it, starting with my 8/26/2016 article. I'm still recovering, but I am much better than I had been. I joke that it takes a long time to recover from being 90% dead!
With sympathy to the family of the person who died last month, it is a point of concern that President Biden was looking for her to be alive in the audience. This was not the first time that President Biden has demonstrated his mental degradation. The Commander in Chief should have robust, wise, and sound mental capabilities.
Vice President Harris Affirms an Alliance with North Korea
But wait! Vice President Harris, next in line if President Biden becomes even more incapable in his duties, thinks that this once-great nation is allied with North Korea!
On 9/29/2022, the day after President Biden's gaffe, Vice President Harris made her own gaffe! I can't make up this stuff, folks. It really happened. She thinks, or thought at the moment, that this nation is allied with North (not South) Korea!
Fox and Friends has a 31-second audiovisual clip: Fox and Friends, 9/29/2022, “VP Harris mistakenly touts US alliance with North Korea: The vice president's gaffe came one day after the rogue nation tested a ballistic missile.” Yes, she said, “the Republic of North Korea.”
Conclusion
Perhaps Hurricane Ian, which hit the west coast of Florida on 9/28/2022, distracted the President and the Vice President. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Florida. The hurricane was devastating. The remnants of it will hit our northeast Tennessee area, probably late this evening.
What do these gaffes, a day apart, mean for this once-great nation? The meaning is apparent. Men and women of great and sound intellect and character, who think and act according to the founding principles that are established in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, are needed to govern this nation from decline back to greatness. Unfortunately, I don't see or hear very many. A few may be in the federal House and Senate. A few may be state governors.
This sixty-second entry about “poly-ticks” is done! As my father said, “This country is about gone, boys.”
But wait! My hope, which is built on Christ, knows that this world is not my home. I'm just passing through!
Hymnary.org has information about the song “This World Is Not My Home (I'm Just a Passin' Thru).” The YouTube channel A Cappella Hymns includes a version of the song, copyright permission obtained, at “This World Is Not My Home - A Cappella Hymn.” You are welcome to sing along!
When Mrs. Appalachian Irishman and I were dating and attending Freed-Hardeman University (Henderson, Tennessee), we attended the Refuge Church of Christ (a few miles to the south). The church was in a rural community. Several university students attended to help that small group of rural church members. We sang “This World Is Not My Home” with much more vigor and speed than the song is sung in the above source! We could “raise the roof!”
By my eyes of faith, I can see many family members and friends who have already gone on. I don't look for them in an audience here. My soul is allied with the Good Lord and his heavenly nation. I place, therefore, the gaffes of the President and the Vice President into that everlasting mindset.
I hope that you, dear reader, do also. If you would like, I am eager to help you see what I see by faith. You are welcome to use my Contact Form for that purpose.

Great to read your thoughts brother. She likely spoke the gafe on purpose. The world is so hateful to western empires, if they think they aren't going to get a big chunk out of the deal. Wagging the Dog. Have a great day brother!
Thank you, anonymous, for your comment! I'm glad to “meet” you here.
The “official” transcript – https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/09/29/remarks-by-vice-president-harris-after-tour-of-the-korean-demilitarized-zone/ – “Remarks by Vice President Harris After Tour of the Korean Demilitarized Zone: September 29, 2022: Speeches and Remarks: Joint Security Area Landing Zone: Paju-si, Republic of Korea” – has: “THE VICE PRESIDENT: So, the United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea.”
Notice that “North” has a strike-through! Various media sources indicate that VP Harris' trip was to attend the funeral of the former Japanese Prime Minister and to support allies in the region (Japan, South Korea, Australia). The media report that VP Harris' visit was in the context of North Korea’s latest (20th so far this year) missile test launch.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gaffe: “gaffe: 1: a social or diplomatic blunder.” VP Harris, apparently, blundered, by stating the USSA alliance with “North” Korea. She'd “engaged mouth, before putting brain into gear” or “opened mouth, inserted foot, and chewed” – as I say.
The Socialist “Utopian” agenda – of Biden-Harris or of those who pull their puppet strings – is apparent, however. I'm just glad that “this world is not my home. I'm just a passin' through!”
