Start Counting (7/07)

Amazing how short people's memories are. During the Covid disaster there were 1,193,165 confirmed deaths, the most of any country, and the 17th highest per capita worldwide. Why? Stupidity? Ignorance? Slow decision making? We quickly produced an effective vaccine. The President believed that Clorox and Invermectin would help. People believed him. That was then. He's back. Now we don't need the weather service or FEMA, all a waste of money. All those meteorologists sitting around. Fire them. Might some kids' lives in Texas have been saved had they been warned? Who knows? We're saving money. But how much did the bombing of Iran cost? Only approximately a billion. Cheap at the price and we've saved $1.8 billion by cutting medical research. Get your priorities right here. Big bombs make you look strong. Global warming? A left wing conspiracy. Drill baby drill. If anything goes wrong please remember it was Biden's fault, or woke Marxist teaching in schools and universities. And we have three and a half more years to go. What will the death toll will be this time? Don't worry, we'll forget very quickly. That's why America is great. We forget quickly.
