No Irish Need Apply

I came across this image of the house my family lived in in 1960 when I was a tot. It was on the edge of Pierre, SD, and just visible to the right is empty land that extends for hundreds of miles. As you can see, the driveway isn't paved, and I don't see anyone being forced to pick cotton in the yard. Six people lived in that house and there was one bathroom. But some people tell us that our family is privileged and should pay reparations to them based solely on the color of their skin and what other people who are long dead did to their ancestors. The African people of 200 years ago do not have a monopoly on being victims of mistreatment. As someone with an Irish name, I know what the English did 200 years ago to my ancestors, but I'm not looking for a handout.

Simple question

I really hope we don't have a rematch of the 2020 presidential election. But if we do, for me it comes down to one question. Do I want a president who is offensive, perhaps criminally so, but implements the correct policies, or do I want a president who has implemented ALL of the wrong policies and perhaps sold us out to Communist China for a few million dollars? Both candidates are vile, disgusting old men who should be retired, but for me the choice between them is obvious.

Propane privilege

I see Barrack Hussein Obama has installed not one but three propane tanks at his lavish Martha's Vineyard estate. Too bad he suffers from so much systematic racism that he can't install 10 tanks. Anyway, I thought fossil fuels were killing the planet.

Why would someone need propane tanks in their yard or compound? As I experienced this week in the Montana flooding, when the electricity goes out it is very handy to have an electrical generator, in my case powered by natural gas. With brownouts and blackouts all but promised this summer due to the increased demand and decreased supply of electricity, putting in a backup energy source is prudent. Never mind that Obama is a hypocrite for saying one thing and doing another. Why is the electrical system getting strained? Perhaps because during his time in office, Obama did everything he could to kill coal-fired power plants completely, and wind/solar can not make up the deficit. I read somewhere (I know, great attribution) that the entire state of Connecticut would have to be covered with windmills to power just New York City. And what happens when everyone is required to give up their gasoline vehicles for EVs? The math doesn't add up, but the same people who lecture us about medical science don't seen concerned about the limitations of current energy technology.

Every time we see John Kerry (the husband of ultra-rich ketchup/catsup heiress Teresa Heinz) boarding his private plane to go lecture someone, he takes a moment to remind us that we need to make sacrifices to save the planet. Harry/Henry Markle-Montbatten-Windsor tells us to strive for zero emissions to protect the environment as he rides two horses into the ground during a polo match, just after jetting back (privately of course) from his mum's celebration. Must be nice to be an elite and play by rules different than what is expected of the deplorables.

In the Soviet Union, the powerful had their dachas and everyone else was required to suffer. Just saying.
