Biles, Cuba and August events Podcast #25: Hello again friends, and welcome back to the 25thpodcast of In My Right Mind w/ me, Russ Andrews, along with the producer of the show, Mr PJ Jaycox. We have been on summer vacation (from In My Right Mind) for about 7 weeks PJ. What have you been up to? Simone Biles: PJ, as you know, my youngest daughter Sara was a top ranked downhill skier when she was in high school. After she went off to university, I worked race crews for about 10 years, and was the Chief Gate Judge for about 6 of those years. As a result of both experiences, I met numerous world class skiers, many of whom are still competing today. I was even lucky enough to interview Mikaela Schiffrin on KNFO when she was just 16 years old. I spent enough time with Mikaela and her parents Jeff (may he rest in peace) and Eilleen. Why do you suppose I am bringing up Mikaela and her parents? Because of what happened to Simone Biles. Eilleen and Jeff sheltered Mikaela from all of the absolute craziness that swirls around world-class athletes. Eilleen insisted that when Mikaela was young, that she should focus on training vs competing in little, non-consequential local races. Eilleen travelled with Mikaela for years while she competed overseas. Mikaela always had someone to lean on who would protect her. Her parents and friends and coaches never allowed her to be exploited. Simone Biles is endorsed by Visa, Nike, Gap, Kellogg’s, Nabisco and Hershey…so far as I can tell. Each one of those sponsors require more than the occasional photo shoot for advertisements. They require the athlete to meet with customers of their brands at multiple parties and conventions. Each one of those appearances requires young Simone to stop her training schedule, hop on a plane, meet and greet and otherwise make nice, then travel back to her training facility and try to pick-up on her training schedule and routine. Additionally, NBC made young Simone the face of their advertising and the defacto face of the Olympics. The night of the first round of the women’s team competition, I told my wife Lori that there was so much pressure on young Simone, that it would be interesting how she responded to the pressure. Not well is the answer. I understand that Simone’s mother, Shannon was not involved in Simone’s life, as she was adopted by her grand parents. I am sure all of the attention and dollars associated with Simone’s success overwhelmed her support group, and they probably had no idea how to protect Simone from the exploitation of her popularity….unlike what the Shiffrins did on behalf of Mikaela. Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual. Most of us do the best we can with what we have. But the difference between Mikaela’s maturity level vs Simone’s has been on display for all to see. Some day on In My Right Mind, PJ and I will disassemble the pack of lies that is the 1619 project, founded by Nikole Jones, which is an attempt to completely re-write American history. For now, I want to briefly discuss another one of her lies when she stated that “Cuba has the least inequality between black and white people anyplace really in the hemisphere.” Tell that to a black Cuban. The very partisan, far left fish wrap called the Washington Post stated in a recent article that “Black families (in Cuba) have experienced some of the deepest hardships as the island grapples with its worst economic decline since the collapse of the Soviet Union. They have less access to remittances than White families whose relatives have fled in greater numbers since Fidel Castro took power in 1959. And they are underrepresented in the more lucrative sectors of society, such as tourism.” “It’s a powder keg about to explode when you have a regime that refuses to recognize that there are large, black communities with economic, housing, material and food deprivation,” said

Podcast #24Hating America, Immigrants Current Covid Howdy friends, and welcome back to In My Right Mind. I am Russ Andrews and as always I am joined by my good friend and the producer of In My Right Mind, Mr PJ Jaycox. How goes it PJ? PJ, I believe that it is impossible to understand so much of the neo-liberal agenda until you wrap your brain around the fact that democrats HATE this country. By Democrats…aka Dimms…I mean the leadership of that party and many of it’s college indoctrinated drones. Some might even be your neighbors!! I am NOT referring to Joe Sixpack who votes Dimm because his garnd parents and parents do or did. The walking woke despise freedom because they can’t control it. They are so much more intelligent than you and I are, that they understand you and I constantly make wrong choices in our lives like where we live; they want all of us huddled together in their urban shit-holes to save energy. How did that work during Covid? They don’t like what we eat; raising livestock contributes to the global warming hoax, and besides, it is unethical to kill and consume animals. They don’t like how we transport ourselves; any transportation should be done via mass transit. They certainly don’t like the way we vote, and they loathe the concept that we are able to defend ourselves via the second amendment. They know in their cold little black hearts this country is evil because we are left to make our own decisions on how we conduct our lives, and since they are awoke, and we are not, the USA will remain evil until they…the superior class…has full reign and dominance over all of us. Did you hear the news on Wednesday PJ that while china spends more on building-up their military than all other asian nations combined, that they spend even more $$$ spying on and controlling their own citizens?? That’s what our simpleton brethren are advocating for. · So when you hear that dimms want to cut defense spending and you don’t understand why…understand how much they detest you…and this country · When you watch them shut down pipelines and oil and natural gas drilling, along with shuttering power plants while simultaneously exporting millions of tons of coal to China, and supporting pipelines in other nations, understand they will do whatever they can to make your life more costly and miserable. · When you witness our foreign embassies flying black lives matter flags’ it’s because they hate our symbols of freedom. Have you ever seen these idiots flying POW or MIA flags PJ? · When you see them allowing millions of illegals to pour across our southern border, understand that they detest our nation. We currently have 9.3 myn job openings across America PJ which nearly matches the 9.8 myn Americans claiming to be looking for work. Job openings increased 998,000 in April, yet new hires only increased by 69,000 which means employers filled 1/15 new positions. The WSJ reported on Wednesday that “the mismatch between labor supply and demand was especially acute in construction, where hires declined by 107,000 even as job openings increased by 23,000. Manufacturing job openings increased by 102,000 while hires fell 38,000. Worker shortages are contributing to supply-chain bottlenecks and higher prices for businesses and consumers. A Chamber of Commerce survey last week found that 90.5% of companies said a lack of available workers was slowing the economy in their area, which was twice as many as cited pandemic issues. The American Hotel and Lodging Association reported that 96% of its respondents had open positions, but most pay less than sitting on the couch collecting enhanced subsidies for not working.” *The Andrews Maxim of economics; if you pay people to stay home from work… than guess what??? Most of them will take you up on the offer! What will neo-liberals do when they find out that the CCP allows it’s citizens to sell and butcher some 31 endangered species at

Podcast #22 CO2, Asian Hate Crimes and Hamas Welcome back friends to In My Right Mind. I am Russ Andrews and as always, I am joined by the silver tongued PJ Jaycox. How goes it PJ? SOVIET ERA CENTRAL PLANNING AND THE GLOBAL WARMING HOAX: Now PJ, do you remember how the Soviet Union would publish 5 yr and 10 yr economic plans. Remember how many of the plans they actually met? ZERO. Exactly ZERO. China still promulgates 5-yr economic plans. The reason I ask is that Pres. Joey Dingbats now has a 10-year version of central economic planning. In reality, it is more religious doctrine than it is economic policy because it has to do with a 10-yr plan to drastically reduce CO2 emissions here in the racist, misogynist, polluting US of A. PJ, what percent of global CO2 emissions are generated here in our miserable, horrible country? According to Joe Dementia and the WSJ, “The U.S. accounts for less than 15% of all global CO2 emissions.” “Emissions in the U.S. and Europe have been falling since 2005 as natural gas and renewables have replaced coal power. But rising emissions from China have swamped these declines. At the Paris climate summit in 2015, China committed only to begin reducing emissions in 2030, and it has continued to build coal plants and expand industrial production. China’s CO2 emissions increased by more between 2015 and 2018 than the U.K.’s total emissions in 2018. “All of the CO2 commitments made in Paris, including Barack Obama’s to reduce U.S. emissions by 26% to 28%, would reduce the Earth’s temperature increase by a mere 0.17 degree Celsius by 2100—not even close to the 1.5 degrees that is supposedly needed to head off doomsday. Yet Joey Dingbats now wants to double down on Mr. Obama’s futile climate gesture” to a 50% reduction in CO2 by 2030. BTW, the economic cost to achieve the 0.17 degree C reduction in temperature…that’s 0.3 deg F would be approx $100 tyn, or 41.6% of the planet’s current net worth. Now PJ, does your thermostat even allow you to turn the temp down by 0.3 deg F? Try that at home folks, and let us know how it works out…at a cost of $100 tyn. The Party of Science and full-blown idiots! The POS! “Amid last year’s Covid-19 lockdowns, greenhouse gas emissions fell to about 21% below 2005 levels. In other words, even with the economy shut down and a large share of the population stuck at home, the U.S. was less than halfway (42%) to Mr. Biden’s goal. The Biden goal will require the electric grid to be totally rebuilt in 10 years. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, the U.S. will also have to double its share of carbon-free power to 80% from 40% today—half of which is now provided by nuclear—to have any hope of achieving Mr. Biden’s pledge. All coal plants would have to shut down, and natural gas plants would be phased into obsolescence. Think of the wasted infra-structure and loss of capital…Wind and solar energy would have to increase six to seven-fold. The Obama Clean Power Plan, which the Supreme Court blocked in 2016, looks modest by comparison. It sought to reduce CO2 power emissions by 32%. Most homes would also have to be electrified. So if you like your gas stove, you won’t be able to keep it. Now, what would achieving Biden’s climate goals look like in practice? Following is from the May 11 WSJ: “The International Energy Agency, the world’s pre-eminent source of energy information for governments, has entered the political debate over whether the U.S. should spend trillions of dollars to accelerate the energy transition favored by Biden. Again, the plan to use far more “clean energy” and far less hydrocarbons—the oil, natural gas and coal that today supply 84% of global energy needs. The IEA’s 287-page report released this month, “The Role of Critical Minerals in Clean Energy Transitions,” is devastating to those ambitions. A better title would have been: “Clean Energy Transitions: Not Soon, Not Easy and Not Clean.”...

Podcast #23: Welcome back friends to In My Right Mind. I am Russ Andrews and as always, I am joined by the producer of In My Right Mind, Mr PJ Jaycox. How about them Av’s PJ?? So PJ, critics…like me… are arguing that masking has become a form of virtue signaling. Uncle Joe Biden, the Delaware Destroyer, reinforced that claim with his appeals to patriotism, which began during last year’s campaign as a rebuttal to the mask-resistant President Trump. But if wearing a mask conveys a political message, mandating it is constitutionally suspect. “No official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein,” Justice Robert Jackson wrote in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943), which held that forcing schoolchildren to salute the flag and recite the Pledge of Allegiance violated their freedom of speech. To wear a mask in public is to affirm a viewpoint no less powerful than the Pledge of Allegiance: that Covid poses a crisis so dire as to demand unprecedented government control of our lives and a transformation of the norms of interpersonal behavior. Ubiquitous mask mandates make assent impossible to avoid except by breaking the law or staying home. “The pandemic has receded rapidly, with the number of daily U.S. infections down 88% since its January peak and still declining. Since mid-April vaccines have been available free of charge to any adult in America. Almost 124 million Americans—including more than 47% of adults and nearly 73% of the vulnerable 65-and-over population—have been vaccinated fully. The CDC acknowledges implicitly with its latest guidance that vaccinated people are at trivial risk of contracting the virus or transmitting it to others.” The WSJ claims “All this would be relevant to a court considering a First Amendment challenge to a mask mandate. To defend content-based limits on speech, the government must satisfy a standard known as strict scrutiny. It has three elements, all of which must be met: The government has to demonstrate that the restriction furthers a “compelling interest,” that it is “narrowly tailored” to fulfill its objective, and that it is the “least restrictive means” of doing so. The government undoubtedly has a compelling interest in preventing infectious disease. But that doesn’t necessarily imply a compelling need for mask mandates. If it did, they could be justified in perpetuity. Universal masking would reduce spread of the flu, the common cold and other infections, but that has never been thought to justify mandating it except during a pandemic. Widespread vaccination makes mask mandates far too broad to be a properly tailored remedy. Selective enforcement against the unvaccinated is impracticably cumbersome, so authorities have to rely on what CDC Director Rochelle Walensky calls “the honor system”—which presumably is why the CDC hasn’t relaxed its own order requiring universal masking in transportation facilities. Many of the relaxed mandates arbitrarily apply to the 32 million Americans with natural immunity from prior infection unless they are also vaccinated. And if selective enforcement were possible, it would compound the First Amendment violation with an intrusion into medical privacy by effectively requiring the disclosure of vaccination status as a condition of going out in public. All of which is to say PHOCK the face mask! Consumers Reasearch ads, FIGHTING BACK! Wsj: “Some of America’s most prominent CEOs have been getting political, as in woke political, and perhaps they figured it was cost-free. They are now learning the hard way that it isn’t, as a national advertising campaign targets their brands and credibility. The campaign launched Tuesday by Consumers’ Research, a conservative nonprofit, takes aim at Nike, Coca-Cola and American Airlines. But others could be the...

Podcast #21 Money and Soft Boycotts Welcome back friends to our 21st edition of In My Right Mind. I am Russ Andrews, and as always, I am joined by the urbane producer of In My Right Mind, Mr. PJ Jaycox. How goes it PJ? PJ, do you rmember March 6, 2000? I believe that was the day that the stock market peaked and the .com bubble burst. I remember it really well as it was also the day the Clinton Justice Dept sued Microsoft for some anti-trust action which set-up a cascade of down days in the markets; especially the NASDAQ which dropped from a price level of greater than 5,000 all the way down to around 1,100. That was a grueling 88% decline and was really one of the 2 low points in my life; It became tough to pass open windows…if you know what I mean. Know what else happened in March of 2000 PJ? Stockholdings among U.S. households increased to the highest level on record…dating back to 1952 when such records were first kept. Know what just happened in April PJ? Stockholdings among U.S. households increased to 41% of their total financial assets in April, the highest level on record. That is according to JPMorgan Chase and Co. and Federal Reserve data going back to 1952 and it that includes 401(k) retirement accounts. From what I can tell, the peak in the year 2000 had U.S. households holding about 38% of their total financial assets in stocks, vs 41% today. You know what that is PJ? It’s a message from our universe. Now PJ, do you know what M1 is? M1 is the money supply that is composed of physical currency and coin, demand deposits, travelers' checks, other checkable deposits, and negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts. M2 includes M1 plus so-called “near-money”, which refers to savings deposits, money markets, mutual funds and time deposits like CD’s. Now get this: M1 stood at a MERE $4.027 tyn in Feb of last year. What do you suppose it stands at today partner? $18,683,000,000,000. That’s a YOY increase in our currency supply of 364%. Standard banking logic has it that investors moved money out of longer-term positions like CD’s and mutual funds…part of what we know as M2, and into cash. OK. BUT, M2 rose by 25%. We can dive into banking law, but I would prefer to contemplate what it means when the money supply increases by 25%. I t means assets of all stripes increase in value as more and more people have more and more $$$ in their pockets. I am told my home increased in value by a WHOPPING 35%. The DJIA is up 83% off it’s march 23, 2020 low of 18,600. Lumber and grain prices have soared. My point is a simple one to wit, things are starting to get frothy! My strategy is to start selling losers first; sell those stocks and funds that have not outperformed the stock market, even…or especially if you are in love with them. Then start to take profits in your big winners. For my part, I have started to buy private placement preferred stocks INSTEAD of bonds for my clients. NOW, I am not pushing any panic buttons. It is just that I have seen this movie before, and in the end, it can get really, really, scary! We never know what precise trigger will be the catalyst for a selloff. But here is one possible trigger; Tax increases. Stock markets LOVE the free money that has boosted M1 and M2. Stock markets HATE tax increases. President Joe Dementia has proposed that congress increase the capital gains tax on purported millionaires from 23.8% up to 43.4% which would be an 83% increase. Along with that proposal he wants to eliminate the step-up in cost basis in estate assets when somebody dies. With that in mind, I have been talking to my wealthiest clients about selling our best performing stocks IF the Dimms and Joe Dementia get their way. I have for example a client who is up more than 3,900% in his AAPL holding. I have others who are up more than 900% in AMZN…for example. Conventional logic holds that these people can’t afford to sell these positions and that they should hold...

Podcast #20 War on Poverty and BTUs Welcome back friends to In My Right Mind w/ me, the ever-expressive Russ Andrews. As always, I am joined by the very cogent PJ Jaycox. How goes it PJ? While researching today’s show PJ, I ran across a poll from a group called “Law Enforcement Today.” This poll was taken on Feb 25 this year; less than 2 months ago. In the poll, they asked how the respondents viewed themselves ploitically. The choices were: Very Liberal Liberal Moderate Conservative and Very Conservative. Then they asked respondents in each group how many unarmed blacks were killed by cops in 2019. The answer runs from 9-27, depending on the website or news show you visit or watch. The most common answer is 19, so I’ll go with that. 19 so-called unarmed blacks killed by police in 2019. THEN, they asked respondents simply “How many unarmed black Americans were shot by police in 2019? Very Liberal: 53% said more than 1,000 22% said more than 10,000 Just Liberal: 39% 1,000 or more. You see folks…this is what we are dealing with; people who know NOTHING…Complete dipshits who are willfully and dogmatically ignorant….about everything. Yet they are absolutely certain they are right…about all things…because they choose their “truth over actual facts.” And we are supposed to listen to these idiots and subscribe to their truths, regardless of how specious they are, otherwise we are racist, misogynist, deniers. Btw, only 13% of self-identified conservatives in the poll said 1,000 or more unarmed blacks were killed by cops in 2019. Proving once again that it we who are the informed group. THE WAR ON SANITY: With all of that in mind, I want to start off by addressing this ridiculous push by the socialists to insist that if you are white, that you are a racist, and that our whole society is in fact built around the concept of denying black people the ability to climb the American ladder of prosperity. I mean…that’s why you wake up every morning isn’t it PJ….to deny blacks their civil rights, huh??? Understand that the #1, founding principle of the neo-liberal movement was the eradication of racism…which was certainly a good and noble cause, and by and large has been accomplished. Don’t believe me…then I give you as exhibit #1 Barrack Hussein Obama; a black man who was elected to our highest office…twice. Neo-liberals created a monster when they created the welfare state via the so-called “War On Poverty” on January 8, 1964; when Lyndon Johnson stated that "Our aim is not only to relieve the symptom of poverty, but to cure it and, above all, to prevent it". When in fact, he guaranteed it…poverty.. to continue into perpetuity. The so-called War on Poverty really turned out to be the War On Sanity, as the implied guarantee was that the state could…and in fact should…replace the father as head of household. If any of this sounds familiar, it’s because we covered this topic in detail on our second podcast. I just wanted to add some thoughts, and understand folks that for the last 12 yrs I have re-visited this inane topic about every 6 months due to national headline events. The War On Sanity has been an experiment that has led to squallor, crime, mass-incarceration, tens of millions of wasted lives and thousands of murders. My thesis on this topic is that when Lyndon Johnson created the modern welfare state, that he purposely eliminated the father as head of household by essentially paying single women; women of color and white women, in a myriad of ways, to reproduce out of wedlock. The useful idiots whom most people call democrat voters, or whom I call neo-liberals, loved the idea as it made them feel good to help impovershed women lead their own lives without needing to rely on a husband for financial support. Plus, they got to use our tax dollars for their little experiment in compassion. I suspect that Johnson and his advisers had more nefarious intentions.

Podcast #19: Welcome back friends to In My Right Mind with me, the Praetorian guard of conservatism, Russ Andrews. And of course, I am joined as always with the producer of In My Right Mind, the suave, svelte PJ Jaycox. Hey PJ, we have some new hats and a new bumper sticker. The bumper sticker reads “Revoke The walking Woke.” PLS email us if you want a hat or a bumper sticker…remember the original bumper sticker for our show reads “Phock Your Face Mask” We promised last week we would discuss the new Georgia state election laws, which the left is lying about at every turn to promote HR 1., which Lyin’ Joe Biden referred to as “un-American,” “sick,” “pernicious,” and worse: “This makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle. ” WSJ: “Georgia’s new law leaves in place Sunday voting, a point of contention with earlier proposals, given that black churches have a “souls to the polls” tradition after services. The Legislature, rather, decided to expand weekend early voting statewide, by requiring two Saturdays instead of only one under current law. In total, Georgia offers three weeks of early voting, which began last year on Oct. 12. This is not exactly restrictive: Compare that with early voting that started Oct. 24 last year in New York.” “The new law also leaves in place no-excuses absentee voting. Every eligible Georgia voter will continue to be allowed to request a mail ballot for the sake of simple convenience—or for no reason at all. Again, this is hardly restrictive: More than a dozen states, including Connecticut and Delaware, require mail voters to give a valid excuse.” So what does the Georgia law do? First, it gets rid of signature matching, so election workers aren’t trying to verify mail ballots by comparing John Hancocks. This subjective process should concern both sides. It creates avenues for contested outcomes, with fighting over ambiguous signatures. In 2018 about 2,400 ballots in Georgia were rejected for issues with the signature or oath, according to a recent paper in Political Research Quarterly. Those voters were 54% black.” “Instead of signature matching, voters will submit a state ID number (SS no., Driver’s license, or one assigned by the precinct) with their mail ballots or applications. This way there’s no arguing over handwriting: The ID number either matches or it doesn’t. Georgians who vote in person are already asked to show identification. Anyone who lacks an ID can get one for free.” Much hay is being made about a provision that prevents third parties from giving gifts, including “food and drink” to those standing in line at the polls. But the point is to prevent activists from showing up in union shirts—or National Rifle Association shirts, for that matter—and passing out drinks and snacks, with some subtle electioneering thrown in. As for the genuinely thirsty, the new law specifically allows poll workers to provide “self-service water from an unattended receptacle.” Also, the legislation recognizes that it’s a failure if voters stand in line long enough to get parched. That’s why it says wait times at large precincts must be measured three times throughout Election Day. If the line hits an hour, changes are required before the next election. The law makes ballot drop boxes a permanent part of Georgia’s voting architecture. The terms are tighter than they were during last year’s pandemic emergency, but how is it part of “Jim Crow 2.0” to give absentee voters more options than they had 2 years ago in 2019? The legislation also says applications for mail ballots are due 11 days before the election, instead of four days. If that’s racist, so is the U.S. Postal Service, which urges voters to allow 15 days for two-way delivery. And of course, Georgia joined 35 other states that now require identification to vote in person, including Delaware and Colorado. Illiberals claim that many of their black voters are incapable of attaining free voter ID cards. PJ, why...

Podcast #18: Welcome back friends to In My Right Mind with the ever-impassioned Russ Andrews (that’s me) along with my good buddy, the debonair PJ Jaycox. Before we get started PJ, I come bearing gifts for you: Hat. Bumper sticker. New bumper sticker, Revoke The walking Woke. Hey PJ, did you know that the demented Joe Biden was the only person in the W/H who hid his own Easter Eggs? A new Rasmussen Poll Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 64% of Likely U.S. Voters say it is not possible to completely prevent mass shootings like the ones in Atlanta, Georgia, and Boulder, Colorado. Only 23% believe mass shootings can be completely prevented, while 13% are not sure. BUT, they will make a run at our guns! History of the Filibuster: PJ, what article of the constitution created the filibuster? Article 1 created the House and the Senate…but the filibuster wasn’t created until 1837. As a refresher, the filibuster is intended to slow down legislation in the Senate…the so-called world’s most deliberative legislative body. When the founders devised our bicameral legislative body, they didn’t make much of any kind of differentiation between rules in the House and the Senate. The primary difference at the time was the length of service; the House was intended to address fervors, fevers and the madness and issues of importance of the day, and hence representatives only serve a 2 yr term. “George Washington is said to have told Jefferson that the framers had created the Senate to "cool" House legislation just as a saucer was used to cool hot tea.” The Senate was intended to be less reactive than the House which is why senators serve 6-yr terms. The House and Senate rulebooks in 1789 were nearly identical. Both rulebooks included what is known as the “previous question” motion. The House kept their motion, and today it empowers a simple majority to cut off debate. (REPEAT). The Senate no longer has that rule on its books. It has the filibuster instead. The filibuster was started in 1837 when Senate allies of Democrat President Andrew Jackson attempted to remove a Senate Censure of Jackson for his role in attempting to partially defund The Bank Of The United States of Gov’t $$$. Essentially, a group of senators threatened to speak all day, for every Senate session unless Jackson’s allies relented. And so it began. There was no way to end a filibuster until 1917 when the Senate adopted a super-majority rule that required 67 votes to bring an end to any filibuster….which is called cloture. (arming merchant ships with weapons). That rule was amended in 1975 when the Senate reduced the required majority to 60 senators to bring cloture to a filibuster. Essentially, the filibuster guarantees that the minority party will be heard. Now our friends…the Dimms…are attempting to eliminate the filibuster to create a $15/hr minimum wage, to make Puerto Rico and Wash DC states, to confiscate certain weapons from law abiding citizens, to federalize elections making it easier to cheat, and on and on and on. The Dimms claim that the filibuster is racist because during the debate over passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 19 senators filibustered the bill for 72 days. The 19 broke into 5 groups of 3…and a 6th group of 4 senators. Each group was assigned a day of the week to take the dias and to speak for hours and hours. Now here’s something the left-wing-nut media will never tell you; 18/19 of those filibustering senators were….democrats. The 19th was republican John Tower of Texas. Now PJ, I’m not really good at math, but that means that 94.7% of the gentlemen who filibustered the 1964 CRA were….wait for it…democrats. One last point; prior to the Trump presidency, the filibuster had been used precisely 244 times. During the 4 yrs of Trump…how many times did the democrats use the filibuster? I mean they claim the filibuster is racist…so they must not have ever...

Podcast #17:So-Called Stimulus Sucks, How Long Before You Can Eat Your Meat! Hello folks, and welcome back to In My Right Mind. This is the grandiloquent Russ Andrews along the ever-loquacious PJ Jaycox. Have you missed me buddy? My whole family travelled to New Orleans for 9 days to witness the marriage of my son Dalton to the beautiful Jenny Hathaway…or Jenny Andrews, now. I hosted a crab feast one night, and a $400 crawfish boil the nite before the wedding. The wedding was beautiful, with the lone exception being my speech/toast/roast which I should have spent more time editing…so I’m told. On Saturday after the wedding about 50 of us wandered down to Bourbon Street, which really isn’t my thing; I’m guessing that about 1/5 of the people there are mere predators. Three people who don’t spend much time in such environs had their wallets stolen. Piece of advice: when in large crowds or foreign places like that, I ALWAYS carry my valuables in my front pockets. Because of our anatomies, that area of our bodies….at least for males and females…is generally more sensitive than is the area around rear pockets. Now if you self-identify as one of the OTHER 62 genders the POS, or the Party Of Science has discovered, well, sorry, but this show is really just for…..men and women. There had been no live music for exactly one whole year. The place was rocking, and my wife Lori made the observation that America is open for business! After taking off for two blissful weeks, where do we possibly begin PJ? The so-called $timulus is a good place. I have often talked about the Magic Multiplier effect of government spending on the radio, and I know we spent the better part of a podcast covering magic $$$. The Obamatron-neo-keynsians often claimed that every dollar spoent by the gov’t increased economic output by $1.50. The dimm-witted Nancy pelosi…(could I have anooother scotch pls) claimed back on 2009 that every dollar the gov’t spends creates $1.72 in GDP. BUT, not so fast. My three favorite economists are in order; Brian Wesbury from FT in Chicago, Dr. Robert Barro from Haaavaard, and Dr John taylor from Stanford. To varying degrees, all 3 have shown that when the gov’t spends a dollar, we get LESS than one dollar in economic output. This is a little bit of inside baseball stuff on economics, but I believe it is germane to this discussion. Most people believe that economic output is the same as gross domestic product…or GDP. Sorry Grandma GooGoo, aka Nancy Pelosi…but you are mistaken. Simply put, GDP is a measure of value added at the national level: When a furniture manufacturer buys wood from a saw mill for $100 and adds value to it by producing a piece of furniture which is then sold for $400. Economic output would total $400—the value of all sales in the chain of activity. The value of the wood is therefore counted twice—once as an intermediate good for the furniture manufacturer and again in the value of the furniture. Value added focuses only on additional value of goods and services produced, thus is defined as economic output less intermediate inputs. That is, Value added = Gross Output – Intermediate Inputs. The value added in the previous example totals only $300 (as opposed to $400 economic output). This is because value added subtracts the sale of the purchased wood (intermediate input) of $100 from the total sales price of $400, resulting in value added of $300, or $300 added to GDP. In any event, Dr Barro has shown that when the government spends a buck for WARTIME purchases, the economic output is about 80 cents. In other words, 20 cents is lost in the ether. He has gone on to show that when the gov’t spends a dollar in peacetime, the economic output is around 14 cents; for a loss of 86 cents. Do you remember what the 2nd law of thermodynamics says PJ? Well, it says a lot. But mostly it means that when any reaction occurs, that the amount of entropy increases. Entropy is a...

Podcast #16: Russ’s Mask Rant, Uh Oh Cuomo and Infrastructure Welcome back friends to In My Right Mind with Atilla and the golden throated PJ Jaycox. The 2 P’s. Hey PJ, why did the Mexicans only bring 2,000 soldiers to the Alamo? They only had 4 cars. Thats an old joke folks that found its way into a human-crisis-reality show this week when an SUV loaded w/ more than 2 dozen illegals… crashed into an 18-wheeler carrying gravel, killing some 13 people. Their deaths fall squarely on Creepy Joe Biden’s shoulders, as he has explicitly invited hundreds of thousands of humans to illegally cross our southern border. But…I doubt the senile, old fool even knows about this incident. We learned 2 days ago that 108 illegals have been sent via buses to America’s heartland who were Covid positive at the time. And that was from just a single detention center in Brownsville TX. The city of Brownsville administers these rapid tests at the bus station, after migrant families are released by the Border Patrol. A spokesperson for Brownsville confirmed that, since they began doing these tests Jan. 25, 108 migrants have tested positive for Covid-19, which is 6.3 percent of those who took the test. 6.3%...that’s more than 1/16 who are spreading the virus willy-nilly thanks to a demented fool in the Oval Office. How many detention centers…or jails as detentionwatchnetwork.org refers to them are there PJ? According to detentionwatchnetwork.org, ICE operates over 200 JAILS…or detention centers for people whose first act in their new country was to break our laws. So, if 108 Covid positive, illegal immigrants were dispersed from just 1/200 JAILS, shouldn’t simple math suggest that 108 x 200 =more than 21,000 Covid positive illegals have been sent forth into our heartland to be fruitful and to multiply. And that’s just since Jan 25. YEP make certain you wear that mask folks. Remember, Health Affairs Magazine in a study they conducted, determined that wearing masks reduces infections by a WHOPPING…a WHOPPING 2%. Oh… I need to digress for a moment partner. I need for everyone listening to understand that I refuse to be lectured to or intimidated by simpleton, thought-challenged, neo-liberal scum. SO, I was skiing at Snowmass yesterday afternoon. I am 63 yrs old, and sometimes when I need to urinate it is UUUURGENT. I was meeting up w/ 2 ski buddies at a restaurant called Up For Pizza. When I got outside the mens room at the restaurant…I was in a HURRRY! I rushed in and saw two guys waiting for the 2 restrooms to vacate. They both had N-95 masks on. The older of the 2 went to the bathroom…and mercifully was done in about 90 seconds. Keep in mind that I am…and always have been slightly hard of hearing. So… this clown comes out, and as he walks by me he asks if I am from Texas, to which I replied no. Then he uttered something I didn’t catch…until I walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror and realized that in my haste, I had forgotten to pull my face mask up. Then it dawned on me what the nasty little creep w/ the N 95 mask had said; He told me that “If I don’t want to wear a mask that I should move to Texas.” I stormed out of the bathroom, went up to his table…outside… on a perfect bluebird day, and told this clown that I had to go so bad that I forgot to pull up my mask…to which his wife screamed that I still wasn’t wearing a mask. I looked at both of them and told them that A.) There is no outdoor mask mandate in our state, because the virus dies within 20 seconds when exposed to direct sunlight at 11,000 ft above sea level, and that B.) Their N-95 masks do nothing to protect the public from them…but instead protect them from us…so if they are so public-minded, then why were they wearing them, and C.) That I had been vaccinated way back in September, and that D.) If the toilet bug had simply asked me to pull my mask up…I would have gladly done so…and would have actually apologized, and E.) That they should...
