Why Do We Keep Killing Ourselves in Highway Accidents?

Al Ritter

In 2020 highways deaths declined because of the lockdowns from Covid. 2021 picked up where 2019 left off and now some 47,000 highway deaths are rivalling gun deaths, but the question is why?

There are several contributing factors, let’s investigate a few. Americans drive more miles per year on the average than any other civilized country. It stands to reason, the more you drive the more chance you have of being in an accident. Sadly that factor includes auto fatalities.

Another factor is decreased Police traffic stops. Think back to all the Police traffic stops that escalated into fatal confrontations in the last 15 years or so. I’m certain that the powers to be in the Police Department have handed down orders to decrease the amount of traffic stops for that very reason. Sadly just like in the defund police movement less enforcement equals more traffic violations that go unpunished.

This is a pet peeve of mine. There isn’t a 5 mile drive on our beltway that I don’t see two non-descript foreign compacts with blacked out windows weaving in and out of congested traffic at speed approaching 100 mph. Where are the Police when such scenarios unfold? The only time I see a State or County Police car on the beltway anymore is at the scene of an accident. Think about your area and if you have seen a Police Car issuing a traffic citation on a major beltway.

This doesn’t even address the extremely dangerous traffic violation of tailgating which I see constantly both on major highways and side roads.

I asked a State Police friend of mine once how many aggressive driving citations they write yearly. He slowly shook his head and said not many. The requirements of that charge are hard to prove, 5 violations within 1 mile. He said it is far easier to write a ticket for negligent driving, so most cops don’t bother.

I see aggressive driving and distracted driving (cell phone use) while driving more from women under 30 than any other group now.

Just recently we had 6 highway construction workers killed by two cars at speeds approaching 100 mph in a construction zone. Both were weaving in and out of traffic racing each other. One was a male in his 20’s and the other was a female in her early 50’s. The female was found to have drugs in her system at the time of the accident.

Sadly situations like this happen daily all over this nation, and until police start cracking down on traffic violations these deaths will continue to increase.

Biden’s Magic Train and the 25th Amendment

 Al Ritter

If it wasn’t so sad it could have been funny, but the mental decline of Joe Biden has now gone into mythical proportions.

I watched this week as Rep.Lauren Boebert introduced articles of impeachment on President Joe Biden, and I wondered if this was the path that should be travelled. I don’t mean about impeachment, but what her articles included.

She cited his massive failure at the southern border, a failing economy, the military etc. etc. I wondered as many of you have why they weren’t pursuing the 25^th Amendment as a pathway to remove him due to his unfitness for the office, based on his clear mental decline.

Here is what I found, first off the President himself has to either step down or the Vice President has to declare him unfit, neither of which I can see happening. Second, the heads of 8 of the cabinet leaders out of 15 have to declare him unfit (like that would ever happen, after all he gave them their jobs.) If those hurdles aren’t high enough here’s the kicker. Two thirds of both houses have to declare him unfit. If that were all to happen the Vice President would take over.

Buttttttttttt if the President sends a letter to congress stating he is just fine and he can go on to be reinstated as President. The Vice President would have to declare him unfit once again and the process repeats itself and the results would have to be the same to have him removed.

As you can see the unfitness clause is a joke and could never successfully be carried out.

As a result the only avenue is impeachment and if successful still doesn’t actually remove a sitting president, but is merely the first step that always ends with a two thirds vote in both houses. It’s a vicious merry-go-round that doesn’t serve the people.

Listen to the sad speech by the leader of the free world that doesn’t even possess the slightest grasp on reality:

How Much Longer before Enough is Enough?

 

Al Ritter

I wrote an article in April declaring the Ukrainian War was over. The Russian war machine can’t be stopped. NATO and Biden are playing checkers while Putin is playing chess. We have now sent almost our entire military ammo stock pile to Ukraine. They are using them faster than our manufacturing can replace them and yet we keep supplying them.

Now Germany can’t produce the weapons they have donated because they don’t have the energy resources because of Biden’s destruction of the Nordstream pipeline. We have almost entirely depleted our petroleum reserves because Europe was in need due to the destruction of the Nordstream pipeline.

Billions of dollars of Taxpayer money has gone to this proxy war, while Congress struggles with the funding of Social Security?

 There isn’t one retired person in this country that doesn’t feel cheated about their return vs. the investment into Social Security. Yet this is the program that both sides use as a political football? We aren’t allowed to offer up alternative federally funded programs as a sacrificial lamb, such subjects are now verboten in the land of censorship and disinformation. We have money for war in Ukraine and social programs but not for Social Security? Our government must think we are collectively think we are stupid!

The decision to continue or discontinue this proxy war is directly in the hands of Biden and NATO. The nuclear policy of the United States is that of a preemptive nature, it has been for decades. The nuclear policy of Russia is to protect its homeland. If you thought the exact opposite you would be misinformed. Russia views Crimea as their homeland, Russia now sees sections of the Ukraine as their homeland. If you see where I’m going here you will see the danger in an escalation of this war due to the US and NATO’s involvement.

Ukraine will never be a NATO member PERIOD. Biden is using the Ukrainian people as cannon fodder. Supplying weapons to these troops beyond their technical comprehension doesn’t make sense. Training for 45 days is not sufficient to wage a war against hardened battle troops of Russia.

Russia is waiting for the Ukrainian army to dissolve. It’s going to happen whether America and NATO want it to happen or not. The question is when will the American People rise up and demonstrate against this proxy war and stop throwing good money after bad and is America ready to sacrifice our own troops to this battle?

Hunter Finally Charged with Two Crimes

Al Ritter

Hunter Biden has now been charged in a Delaware Court of misdemeanor Tax Evasion and illegally possessing a gun because he was a known drug user.

If anyone thinks these two charges will put him in jail, you might want to think again. The States Attorney in Delaware says that a pretrial agreement has been made. I can only assume that a plea of guilty has been entered to avoid a long drawn out trial.

I also think that he will receive what amounts to a mere slap on the wrist and serve some sort of community service for a year.

On the bright side, House Republicans are still gathering information to hopefully put Hunter in jail for an extended term based on his money laundering and unregistered acts as a “lobbyist.”

Harris to Replace Ailing Sotomayor’s Position?

Al Ritter

As I watched this video in horror the other day, I passed it off as pure speculation. The scenario that was painted is that if Biden eventually sees the writing on the wall about his impending failure to be reelected, what happens to Kamala Harris. Her approval rating is lower than Biden’s, so a presidential run would certainly be out of the question.

John Fund a writer for the National Review posed a possible change that could take place but highly doubtful. #1 Sotomayor’s only health issue is diabetes and that certainly isn’t enough for her to step down, which of course she would have to do to enable Biden to appoint someone else.

Not much of this makes sense to me because IF this were to happen it only replaces a liberal with another liberal on the Supreme Court. To merely replace Sotomayor with word salad Kamala just to give her a job would certainly only be a lateral move.

#2 Harris would have to be approved which once again would be highly doubtful, unless she had a full press from the democratically led senate.

Why is anyone concerned about Harris saving face after a failed election? She has been in WAY over her head from the start. Biden’s pick for her was a 4 part agenda….”Black, Indian, a Woman, and an insurance policy in case the right mounted impeachment based on the 25^th amendment.

Can these stories get any stranger?

A True Democratic Conundrum

 Al Ritter

Democrats are going to find it hard to pick a side on this problem. In Montgomery County in Maryland a Muslim coalition is protesting something the Democrats are by and large supporting nationwide. Never wanting to offend Muslims has always been a focal point of the left, but this situation is going to force the liberals to pick a side, and they certainly aren’t going to like it.

For the past year the Justice Department has labeled parents that show up to protest at School Board meetings as domestic terrorists. Most of the disputes at school board meeting have to do either with transgender indoctrination or pornographic books in school libraries.

Biden had painted the parents in the past as white MAGA parents, but now he’s finding a back lash from parents of a different origin. The Muslim community in Montgomery County Maryland (not 20 miles from the Whitehouse) are protesting the very same things that those big bad White MAGA parents have been for the last year.

Time and time again people are coming forward to protest the moral decline perpetrated by the Whitehouse. Sexual deviancy has been pushed by the Biden Whitehouse for the last 2 ½ years and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

It will be funny to see how the Biden Administration will spin this latest demonstration, by one of their untouchable demographics.

The DNC Doesn’t Think Their Voters Deserve a Primary Debate

Al Ritter

One has to seriously worry about the primary election in 2024. With the DNC telling the Democratic voters that there will be no debates in the primary, they have to be worried for their party. Why won’t there be any debates? This is totally disrespectful to the others in the race.

One other possibility exists also. That possibility might be yet another rigged election where the outcome is already predetermined. You have an 80 year old in office that can’t string a sentence together if his life depended on it. His approval rating goes lower each week and his Vice President has an even lower rating than Joe Biden himself. 70% of the voting public doesn’t want him running again, but the DNC keeps confirming there won’t be any debates.

I think we know that #1 Biden would fail miserably in any sort of back and forth debate from his challengers and #2 I don’t think anyone is going to be willing to accept another campaign from the basement in 2024.

I can’t help but wonder how far the DNC will go to assure a win for Biden under any circumstance.

So far nothing has been changed as a result of the massive exposure of voter fraud.
