Well, well, well. President Biden apologized for using the word “Illegal” to describe the man that killed Laken Riley. She was a 22 year old nursing student in Georgia. What he said was FACTUALLY true! Then again, we live in an upside world these days. A former President is guilty of borrowing money and paying it back. What is true is false and what is false is true. The President also said, “Illegal’s built this country.” Since when did Venezuelan gang bangers build the United State of America?

Meanwhile, some New York Firefighters are in hot water for interrupting a speech given by Attorney General Leticia James. They shouted The Donald’s last name in unison. FDNY Chief Hughes said, “It will be better for them to come forward and we won’t have to hunt them down?” Sounds like Putin, doesn’t it? That brought to mind the Roman satirist Juvenal who asked, “Who watches the watchers?” At what point will people not take it anymore? What’s happening to our country?

Speaking of New York, crime has gotten so bad the Governor has called in the National Guard to patrol the subway system. Must be a small taste of how Missourians felt during the Civil War. Besieged! Many, especially in Western Missouri, were afraid to open their door. They feared bushwhackers would be there to shoot them. Those were bad years for folks living in the area. The main job of the Union Army here was to stop this senseless killing, no matter which side the bushwhackers were on.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS! Archeologists have discovered an extraordinary pyramid that’s 27,000 years old! It’s located in Indonesia and submerged within a hill of lava rock. The scientists used radiocarbon dating on the ancient site. If it all adds up, history books will have to be changed. The more we discover about our world, the more there is to know. You betcha! Wonder how many civilizations existed in the ancient past that we’re unaware of, especially in Antarctica?
