My Highs and Lows for the Week!

the good the bad and the ugly

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” John Quincy Adams

-Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas is still in office. His Congressional impeachment failed. Democrats like the job he is doing at our southern border.

Biden broke the law but is too senile to stand trial. Very scary and dangerous.

-The CDC has issued a medical alert about a new measles outbreak. The cause is the rising number of unvaccinated people in the US. Measles is highly contagious. 9 million illegal migrants, but of course, the government will not comment.

Syphilis cases in the US. have reached a 75 year high. Over 220,00 cases in 2022 which is an 80% increase in the last 3-4 years. If left untreated, syphilis can lead to serious damage to the brain, heart and other major organs. Low-income communities are disproportionately impacted. CDC has not commented about illegal migrant cases.

Consumer credit card debt in the US. has reached $1.1 trillion. The US. national debt reached $34 trillion. One trillion dollars is the annual interest on that debt. Think what that trillion dollars could provide to our schools.

West Point will continue to use gender and race as qualifiers for admissions. Supreme Court declined to pass a judgment. On the other hand, Dartmouth reinstated SATs for entry.

Apple’s new product, “Vision Pro,” headset costs $3,500. It’s being called a “face computer.” Hope buyers do not use credit cards to purchase.

Caitlin Clark (Guard at Iowa) is 39 points away from breaking the NCAA scoring record in women’s basketball. The record is 3,527 points. She has been great for women’s sports. Attendance at her games is also at record levels. Sheryl Swoops claimed Clark was 25 and has played for 5 college years and that she takes 40+ shots per game. All of that is incorrect and petty. Hope it was not racially motivated. Swoops is ignorant and nasty.

I like to see Taylor Swift at the Chiefs games, but many internet fools complain.

Grammys are over. I did not watch, too much political speak and racist comments. Blacks complain every year if they do not win. Tay Tay won for “Album of the Year,” for the 4th time.

My local newspaper, “The Charlotte Fishwrap,” ran a huge story about Teddy Bridgewater being named Head Coach at a Miami high school. Bridgewater is an alum at the school. Not exactly sure why this is a big story.

United Nations Relief Agency had staffers participate in the October 7th bombing of Israel. Trump was right about that agency and stopped its funding. The fool Biden started the flow of money back once he took office. The UNRWA has 30,000 employees mostly Palestinian. And most of them (13,000) are in Gaza.

Lastly, a professor at Columbia University and an ex-SEC commissioner found “suspicious evidence and patterns” regarding short sales of Israel-based company stock around the time of the Hamas attack. Five days before the attack a vast number of short sales were recorded. Then, after the attack, long sales occurred yielding $ millions in profits. much of those trades represented an 8-fold increase in activity. This means there is money to be made on terrorist attacks if you know the date and location.
