Vladimir Putin vs. Volodymyr Zelensky

Let's understand the most important players in Russia's invasion into Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin is described by Newt Gingrich as the Bear while Ukraine's President Zelenskyy is described as the Lion in Gingrich's article. Playing a diminutive role as a supporting actor is Joe Biden. He's characterized as the Bunny Rabbit.

Gingrich opens the article by saying "The best way to understand the current extraordinarily dangerous tragedy in Ukraine is to imagine a fight between a bear, a lion, and a bunny rabbit. The bear of course is Russia, as President Ronald Reagan brilliantly evoked in his 1984 re-election commercial 'The Bear.' As the narrator said: 'There is a bear in the woods. For some people, the bear is easy to see. Others don’t see it at all. Some people say the bear is tame. Others say it’s vicious and dangerous. Since no one can really be sure who’s right, isn’t it smart to be as strong as the bear? If there is a bear.'" This is the extended version of the Reagan ad:

Gingrich continues, saying "We now know the bear is real and it is on the move. Vladimir Putin is a classic example of a strong, ruthless Russian leader. Yet, virtually every analysis of Putin’s motives and actions are wrong, because our supposed experts keep applying Ivy League standards of rationality, timidity, and reasonableness to him. Meanwhile, he reflects none of those values."

It's generally thought that the use of Hitler in conversations is a debate loser. This time, it isn't. It's widely thought that Putin is the 21st Century Hitler. Hitler's paranoia and ruthlessness appear to be part of Putin's personality, too.

The Lion has turned out to be the Ukrainian people and their president. Their courage and willingness to fight and die for their country and freedom has come as an enormous shock to Russia and the Ivy League educated rational leftists who dominate the American national security establishment.

As an example of the complete misunderstanding of the Ukrainian lion’s courage, on Feb. 5, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley said that Kyiv could fall within 72 hours if a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine happened. Having been wrong about Ukrainian courage and resistance, Milley is currently being incompetent about getting effective military aid to the Ukrainians.

While Putin is similar to Hitler, Zelensky is similar to Churchill. When Germany started bombing the British, I can't picture Churchill thinking he'd finish on the winning side of WWII. Still, that's what happened. Churchill visited the neighborhoods to remind the people that he was in the fight with them. The British were inspired by Churchill like Ukraine is inspired by Zelensky.

That leads us to the final animal:

The American Eagle apparently flew out of the White House when Biden moved in. It has been said that an army of lions led by a sheep will lose to an army of sheep led by a lion. It is clear from everything the Biden team has done that they are beyond sheep status. The Biden bunny is the only symbol that fits the timidity, confusion, and just plain stupidity which defines the current American policy.

Biden punishes the American oil and gas industry while buying from Russia and subsidizing Putin’s military adventure (far more than any sanctions will cost Putin). Biden refuses to build liquified natural gas ports to help the Europeans quit using Russian natural gas. Biden is refusing to help Ukraine with targeting information, because it might be an escalation (when you watch a nuclear reactor burning and cities being bombed, only a bunny can be worried about escalation). Finally, Biden is relying on the Russian Ambassador in Vienna to get the Iranians to agree to a terrible American collapse on the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

It's time for the Biden administration to show toughness instead of just shooting their mouths off. Nothing I've seen is what I'd consider wise. Most of what I've heard from Biden on foreign policy/national security I'd consider foolishness. Think of this: Biden thinks that rednecks in Oklahoma, Georgia and Alabama are dangerous. Despite that, Biden apparently thinks that Iran, Russia and Venezuela are perfect trading partners for oil.

That's the definition of stupidity!

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
