What Biden Really Said

Joe Biden’s recent assertion that “...if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain’t black." has set off the usual, “Oh, that’s good old crazy uncle Joe,” from the left, and “see, he’s unfit for office,” from the right.


Both sides are correct. Crazy uncle Joe is not fit for office.


What I object to is that it is being characterized as a gaffe. If it happens once, it’s a gaffe. Twice is a screw up. A lifetime of these offenses is a pattern of behavior that Biden’s sycophants defend at their own peril.


Are we overreacting? Are people too sensitive these days? I don’t know. I tried to do some “man on the street” interviews but there were no men, or women, on the street. Apparently there’s a quarantine going around.


The bigger issue, which is being ignored, is that Biden’s statement exposed the fact that the democrats take minority votes for granted. This was not a gaffe, it was a statement of belief. The democrats feel they are the owners of minority votes. When their voters wander off the plantation, or run to safety in the Free State of Think for Yourself, the hounds are loosed, and they are brought back into the loving embrace of their plantation massa.


I grew up in a Cuban-American home. My family was republican. I was a republican until being a republican meant you were a pro-life democrat who prefered welfare for corporations instead of people.


More than once, people asked me how I could be a republican. It was a given that as a minority I should be the property of the democrat party. Some called me a sellout, or told me I was trying to be white. These comments usually came from white liberals who wondered why an uppity spic like me was getting out of line. I am now a registered libertarian so I get the confused screeching from the left and the right. It’s why earplugs come in pairs.


But I digress. For too many years, the big open dirty secret is that the democrat party owns the black, latino, and minority vote. Every 2 - 4 years, they come out and make the same promises to their “constituents” and they talk about the racist republican bogeyman hiding behind every corner and under every bed and in every shadow, waiting to oppress the black, the brown, the gay and the otherwise different.


The democrats are aided in this deception by the charlatans, the self-proclaimed leaders of the disaffected communities, the reverends and the professors who work only to increase their power and their fortunes. They are the tour guides bringing the masses to the false messiah. Since LBJ made his 200 years comment, there has been a reliable stream of black voters putting democrats in places of power. Their reward is to be kept in their own place.


The democrats don’t worry about losing the minority vote, so there is no reason for them to try hard to keep it. They say enough to get them out to the polls and to keep them scared of what will happen when the other side wins. But, the other side does win. And sometimes the other side loses. Nothing changes.


Power has shifted left and right for the last 50 years with the minorities solidly leaning to the left. The result is that the minority vote has been devalued. The right knows they can’t have them, so there is no reason to fight for them. The left knows they own them, so no reason to put any effort into keeping them. As a wise man once said, “congratulations, you played yourself.”


Joe Biden’s comment was less a gaffe than a Freudian slip. He was essentially saying, “I own your vote. You and I both know that, so get in line.” He made this confession during an interview with a podcaster known as Charlamagne tha God. Charlamagne will likely have Biden on again. He’ll ask some questions and Biden will offer hollow answers that use lots of words which add up to nothing. Tha God will bow to the man. All will be well on the left.

The Subtle Destruction of Everything

In Florida, our preferred grocery store chain is Publix, "Where Shopping is a Pleasure." The stores have always been bright, clean, and well-stocked. The employees were always friendly and helpful. They smiled when you spoke to them. They cared... these people are a memory.  Publix was the last best hope for people like myself, who worked in customer contact positions all their lives and were trained to treat customers well, to underpromise and overdeliver. We were trained to be good to our customers, or we were shown the door. I miss those days. I miss walking into a place of business and not being treated like an inconvenience. I'm here to spend my money and help you keep your job so you can have money, too. Don't be so ungrateful about it. I was aware of a steady, subtle decline in the quality of not only Publix's service, but the quality of their products, too. I was prompted to sit down and write this because the half & half I bought from Publix not a wee...

It's Not the Questions About UFOs That Are Wrong; It's How We Ask

Ravi Kopparapu and Jacob Haqq-Misra's thought provoking opinion piece in the Washington Post May 26, “We’re asking the wrong questions about UFOs,” suggested a redirection of the recently piqued public interest in answering the question of what unidentified aerial phenomena are, to how we can figure out what they are.  I concur that the latter question is more immediately important than the former; however, two more peels of this onion are necessary. The questions which must come before all others are whether we can figure out what they are and so what if we do? The reason these questions are so important is that the authors and a number of other leading thinkers are advocating the dedication of public resources to the matter of answering the how question. Were they merely putting their own time and energy to the question, I would gladly cheer them on.  Bravo!  After all, who doesn't root for the underdog?  But betting money on the underdog is a different matter, esp...

Those Who Do And Those Who Don't

By Adolfo Jimenez I am a small business owner. Small, of course, is a relative term. While my business is not as big as Amazon or AT&T, it is pretty big to me. I own two corporations with four distinct lines of business. I work quite hard, even when things are slow and there is not much to do. In my life as a business owner, I have created jobs, and I’ve fired people or let people go. I have created millions of dollars in value, I have served countless customers, and I have, of course, paid more than my fair share of taxes. It’s okay, I’m happy to help those less willing than myself.  I can live with the taxes. No, I can’t. No need to lie, it doesn’t further the story or prove anything. I pay taxes because I would rather not have the problems that come with not paying taxes like going to jail or having my stuff seized by the state. Makes sense, right? But taxes are only one of the unfair burdens placed on business owners in the land of the free. The burdens people don’t talk ab...
