Indications are growing that Putin’s Russia may be gearing up for a full-scale invasion of the Ukraine. A massive buildup of Russian forces on the eastern border of Ukraine portend that war may be close-at-hand. It is generally agreed that the buildup leaves wide-open the possibility of a mistake, a misfire or other spark of what could start World War III.
COMMENTS:
Let them have the Ukraine.
Why not Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia et al? Who cares?
Do you? Then, the time has come for
us to do something about it.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. If the missing Boeing plane is in Pakistan, as you claim,
why hasn’t someone on the ground spilled the beans by now? (Dennis ~ Williams, AZ)
A. Why didn’t we know that Osama was in Pakistan in one
hideout in a densely populated area for six years? Now, I’m not ruling out the southern Indian
Ocean, but keep in mind that the last known direction of the plane was
northwest out of Malaysia. To date, no
pings from any black boxes in the area of search and the “debris” have yet been
identified. Indications are that the
pilots, or someone in the cockpit with intimate knowledge of the 777 aircraft,
set the course in the plane’s computer in advance of the apparent beginning of
the crisis. I see no sign that either
pilot wanted to commit suicide, but there’s been virtually no information about
the flight engineer and whoever was in the “jump seat” either. So, I’m not ruling out the Indian Ocean, but
my gut at this point points to Pakistan or Eastern Iran.
Q. How does the First Lady get away with all of this
gallivanting around the world at taxpayer expense? (Ana ~ Chicago, IL)
A. To be honest, every First Lady in my memory has taken
trips at taxpayer expense. However, this
trips have been to exchange some cultural ideas or educational programs… in
other words, there’s been a government purpose attached to the trip as
well. That did not happen when Michelle
and the kids went to Africa. This time,
of course, she has her mother with her as well.
They were originally not going to allow any press along but, since they
claimed the trip was for official government purposes they got pressured into it. That put Michelle into a snit, I guess,
because she immediately made it clear that no one in the press or media was to
be allowed anywhere near her. The word
out of their hotel is Michelle and her prima donnas have been overbearing and
have the hotel staff quite ticked off. In
short, it appears that she’s over there making enemies with the Chinese and
we’re paying for it. I wouldn’t be
surprised if the Chinese government invited her and her entourage to leave
early.
Q. What do you think is going to happen when the March 31st
deadline arrives for ObamaCare signups and they haven’t met their goals? (Paulo ~ El Cajon, CA)
A. They’ll announce that the signups got off to a bad start
because of website glitches, so they really need to extend the date for signups
by 60 or 90 days. Word on the grapevine
is that insurance companies have had their fill and are ready to rebel even through
the White House has been strong-arming and threatening them.
