A Brief Reset
First, happy birthday to my mom.
Second, Joe Biden’s polling is terrible. The guy saw Donald Trump’s polling and said “hold my beer.” He’s at his worst job approval rating and he is outpacing Trump in that regard
Europe is on the verge of war for the first time in decades.
Your 401(K) is getting crushed as the markets correct.
COVID keeps spreading.
But, and this is a big but — not everything is terrible. Sometimes the headlines get us to focus on the terrible and we ignore the positive, even in our own lives.
In lieu of a big long piece this morning, I want to invite you to join me on the radio in a few minutes. I want to actually talk to you and put this all in perspective. I want to explain the situation in Ukraine and the UAE. But out of gate at 12:06pm ET, I want to review where we are and suggest maybe we need to reset our thinking a bit.
You can listen live right here.
You are so fortunate to still have your mom. Keep her close. Joe Biden performing poorly should be a surprise to no one. He is a career politician with very few accomplishments, unless you consider being divisive, a fableist, and a liar accomplishments. That Mitch McConnell says he actually likes Joe Biden tells you all you need to know about Mitch. He actually believes this is all about politics and doesn't realize he's dancing with the Devil. Speaking of the Devil, prayers that a war over Ukraine does not come to pass. IMO, Putin will not invade, unless there is something much bigger in the works involving China and Taiwan, i.e., Putin and the CCP planning dual invasions timed to throw the U.S. and our allies off balance / spread our forces too thin. And as far as COVID is concerned, especially the Omicron variant, aka "the common cold", I agree with you that we have passed to the endemic stage of the disease. Time to stop with the authoritarianism, drop the mandates and other nonsense, and stop pissing away the public's money on vaccines, masks, etc.
