I apologize to my younger readers for the names mentioned in the title. Larry, and his brothers Darryl and Darryl, were fixtures on the “Newhart” show starring Bob Newhart. The “Newhart” show was a sitcom that ran from 1982-1990. If you are under 50 years old you probably have no recollection of this TV program. The three brothers combined IQs appeared to be about the same as the average annual temperature in Fargo, N.D. Still, I’d bet if they were made aware of what is happening in our country even they would understand what the Progressive Left is attempting to accomplish. We are witnessing record numbers of illegals flooding our southern border, all time highs for gasoline prices, and inflation at a 40 year high. These events are not accidents, or the result of a run of bad luck. They are planned. If, after reading this article, the logic still evades you, Larry and his brothers might be available, for a fee, to dumb it down even more for you. (By the way, if you like good clean comedy, check out a couple of the “Newhart” show episodes).

As I see it there are only 2, or possibly 3, explanations for the multiple crises occurring in our country. The most unlikely possibility is that all of this is happening by accident. I am not an oddsmaker but I think it highly unlikely that all of the above began, or were accelerated, magically when Joe Biden was elected President. If you agree with that statement we are left to decide if our current Cabinet Secretaries are complete idiots, or if they are working a “master plan” to push our country closer to socialism. It is inconceivable that every single Cabinet Secretary is a moron. That they could all be indifferent, purposeful, liars is more believable. I don’t know who the author(s) of the “master plan” is. It could be one person, or a cabal of America haters. But if you think Joe Biden is the author of the plan, or of any complex, coherent, plan you are even more foolish than the three above referenced brothers. What is happening to the American people is a well orchestrated, choreographed, plan designed to eliminate the middle class and drive more of us into poverty. The end result would be more people becoming dependent on the government. Citizens must be converted into subjects.

Why would politicians want their constituents to be poorer? The Progressive Left understands it can’t succeed in converting the greatest nation on earth to the soul crushing system of socialism if citizens are happy, independent, prosperous, and free. Prosperity allows people the freedom to make their own critical life decisions. It allows them to decide where they will live and work. It allows them to be left alone. Happy, independent, prosperous, and free, people are not candidates for drastic change. Therefore, Progressives will do whatever is necessary to reduce the standard of living of as many American citizens as possible. The quickest way to increase the number of dependent people is to import millions of already impoverished people into our country. Rich people are the least affected by higher gas and food prices. It is those in the middle and lower classes who get crushed by record high inflation. Millions of Americans who were making ends meet a year ago are now forced to ask for help from the government.

What follows are the comments about the crises made by our high IQ, no common sense, Cabinet Secretaries. I follow each with how the low IQ, high common sense, brothers might have theoretically responded. Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of DHS, when asked about his plans to stop the record flood of illegals into the U.S., said we have “operational control of the border”. This is a pathetic lie, as anyone who can see recognizes. The brothers scratched their heads and admitted they didn’t know what “operational control of the border” means. They suggested a wall, supported by military personnel, might just stop the flow. I told them we had already paid for the materials to construct a wall, but the current President chose not to build it. They just stood there with blank looks on their faces.

Jennifer Granholm, the Secretary of Energy, was asked what poor people might do to mitigate record high gas prices. She suggested they only need to hold on for 10-20 years until the U.S. reaches total renewable energy sustainability. Then they won’t have to worry about gas prices at all. Until then they should go out and buy a new electric vehicle. What’s to worry? The brothers thought if we had more gasoline, it might cost less. I explained that our President had ordered a reduction in domestic oil production, and was currently trying to buy gas from people who wanted to see us dead. They laughed out loud and said, “you’re funning us”.

Global supply chain disruptions have contributed to the highest rate of inflation in the U.S. in over 40 years. We watched as countless cargo ships sat at anchor in the Pacific Ocean off of southern Californian ports. The inability to deliver those goods caused a scarcity that forced prices to soar. During the greatest supply chain crisis in our lifetime the U.S. Secretary of Transportation was nowhere to be found. Pete Buttigieg, our “public servant” was AWOL. He took a nearly 2 month paternity leave. Nobody was named as interim Secretary in his absence. There is an even chance his boss didn’t know he was missing. Larry, Darryl, and Darryl, wondered where to apply to get such a gig. They suggested that if Buttigieg was gone for 2 months, and nobody missed him, maybe we don’t need him at all. Finally, they wondered why products made in America needed cargo ships in order to be delivered. When informed that most products were no longer made in America, they just looked at each other. Then asked, why not?

The above was written in an attempt to lighten the moment. That doesn’t change the fact that what I wrote is accurate. The really sad part of this scenario is that most of the problems threatening the future of Americans are self induced. They weren’t caused by a natural disaster. We haven’t been invaded. They have occurred because of awful policies, and terrible decisions, made by our elected and appointed leaders. Other than a few deaths caused by illegal gang members, the crises have thus far ‘only’ created financial problems. Utility companies are warning that, due to a lack of energy, we may experience rolling blackouts across the country this summer. If blackouts happen, the poor, the elderly, and the infirm, could/will die! That potential outcome is of little concern to the far Left. They have always believed that the ends justify the means. Progressives will view the deceased as collateral damage if they are successful in moving the greatest nation on earth closer to socialism. The crises we are witnessing are terrible for everyone else in America.
