This week has the distinct smell of Democrats in charge.
What was once old eventually becomes new, from fashion and hair length to music and economics. As they say, history may not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. Today we are seeing events that rhyme with events of a few decades ago. The rhyme is held together by the single commonality of which party is running the country.
This week has the distinct smell of Democrats in charge. We have gas lines again, more cars waiting to fill up their gas tanks than ever waiting to hear candidate Joe Biden speak at his sparsely attended campaign car rallies.
War is breaking out in the Middle East with Palestinian militants lobbing missiles at Israel, and Israel appropriately responding to attacks on its homeland. I wonder if Obama’s “pallets of cash” paid for any Hamas missiles? Or if the planned restoration of $235 million in US aid to the Palestinians has freed up cash for missiles?
Inflation and unemployment are both rising. It’s like traveling back in time to the late 1970s, dancing to the Bee Gees’ “Stayin Alive” under a mirror disco ball. But now it’s 2021 and we are dancing to Biden’s fiddle.
The rhyme these days is something older readers may remember, the “Misery Index”. One can hearken back to the days of President Jimmy Carter, the former peanut farmer turned US President, from 1976 to 1980, before Ronald Reagan taught America what conservatism was and could offer not only to America but the world.

Gas lines...I remember them.
So here we are with the Biden administration and the Dems who are now producing continuous chaos around the world.
Can't wait until the November elections.
I think Biden will be worse than Carter. We have Iran as a problem again. Energy independence is out the window. Inflation. The interest rates are sure to go back to Carter levels....

“Gas lines...I remember them.”
I was in one Wednesday.
Yogi Berra came to mind..”Its deja vu all over again.”
I remember the odd/even license plate days!
Luckily I had two vehicles, one was my personal vehicle and the other an old farm truck. One was odd one was even so I managed to stay rolling no matter what.
Someone needs to revive the misery index from the Carter era.
Strange casseroles, gas lines, batshit crazy news headlines. In Carter’s day we didn’t have an Obamafied media, so there was real news.
Stock your pantry this summer, we may be in for a rough winter.

Good point.
Malaise II: Electric Boondoggle
Do we get to call BLM and ANTIFA the Boondoggle Boyz?
I had a 13.5% mortgage under Jimmah Carter. Second worst President after Joseph Stolen.
