Things That Are Bothering Me: Marvin L. Covault, Lt Gen US Army, retired, April 7, 2021
[ABYSSUM] I’m bothered by a lot that is going on in America today. Here are some of them. We are to believe there was no such thing as voter fraud anywhere during the 2020 election. Now fixing the actual voter fraud problem is considered racist. Three days after the 2020 election Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a prominent Democrat Party spokesperson, called for a blacklist, entitled The Trump

Accountability Project, with the objective of archiving the names of individuals who "elected, served, funded, supported, and represented President Trump." Where was the national outcry against this? H.R.1391 — American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, aka Covid Rescue Plan. It bothers me that only 9% of the $1.9 trillion was related to actual covid relief.

President Biden was selling infrastructure legislation to improve roads and bridges. But only 5% of the $2 trillion, misnamed, "American Jobs Plan" is actually for roads and bridges. It is a reasonable public policy objective to expand medical care for the elderly and disabled, but it bothers me that $400 billion for that is called infrastructure.

I’m bothered that U.S. debt has now passed the value of our GDP and no Democrats seem concerned. We are printing money at a rate never envisioned. When does inflation kick in and how hard will the blow be? Most Americans cannot remember how debilitating for everyone the President Carter economy was with 14.8% inflation and interest rates at 18%.

By Executive Order, President Biden has authorized US taxpayers to pay for abortions overseas, while consistent polling shows that 77% of Americans are opposed to it. We have a generation of Americans who know almost nothing of our nation’s history. But it is getting worse. Now they are learning revisionist history about what horrible people Americans have always been and are today. Workers’ rights are being demolished. The House passed the miss-named bill, "Protecting the Right to Organize Act". Wall Street Journal said, the bill "brazenly opposes workers choices." It would effectively repeal right-to-work laws on the books in most states which allow employees to decline union membership. The Iran-backed terrorist group Houthis took control of Yemen in 2014. With U.S. assistance, Saudi Arabia has led a coalition of nine nations against the terrorist network in Yemen. Without the Saudi effort, it is quite possible that the Houthis would have successfully transformed Yemen into a terrorist operational and training safe haven with deadly consequences for the United States and the international community.

In another knee-jerk I’ll-show-you-Trump action, President Biden is removing the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists from the Global Terrorist list. To add insult to injury, Biden has put a hold on Trump-negotiated arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates worth billions of dollars. Under the guise of the $1.9 trillion Covid relief package, Biden included hundreds of billions of dollars to bail out financially mis-managed democrat-led cities and states without demanding those governors and mayors take the steps necessary to become fiscally responsible.

#3 Sonny Black, looking back that is a painful read.

Its the sound of someone so desperate for an alternative to the DoE, that is wasn't seen for what it was - subbing out to unaccountable social justice workers.

I'm not sure not only how many students got turned off, but teachers as well. They were allowed to teach in their style, true, but not the order of.

Algebraic concepts before solid +-x/ foundation, for example.
