INSANITY: Signs of our times

| January 26, 2022 1:00 AM

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

I am an independent voter who supports individual candidates. I vote based upon the credentials of the candidate regardless of party affiliation or race. If I were to be put in a box, I guess I would be classified as a conservative libertarian.

I grew up with “No One Left Behind,” and watched as our soldiers dragged our dead or dying comrades back, and some of those heroes also died. Afghanistan was the tipping point for me.

At my age of mid-70s, I have never witnessed such a debacle. Biden will go down in history as the worst executive in American history.

He closed one of the most strategic military bases in the middle east, leaving $84 billion worth of hardware to those that shout “Death to America,” and no human intelligence. We saw plane loads of incoming Afghans, but then we were told that we needed to provide interpreters? It was reported earlier that we were bringing our interpreters out.

Insanity is Biden keep referring to “they.” “They told me not to take any questions.” Why? I want to know the names and positions of “they.” Not some “senior advisers” or other “unnamed officials.” At least he can still read the teleprompter but cannot answer a question.

Insanity is tearing down statues of our founding fathers and replaced by a statue of a multi-page career criminal.
