When Orwell's novel was released in 1958, it was considered a utopian tale about a world that didn't really exist. Today, we are living in 1984.
President Joe Biden, our demented Big Brother, recently made this pronouncement about the American economy. “Today, we saw more progress bringing down inflation while maintaining one of the strongest job markets in history.” That's just bullshit.
Everyone I know expresses shock at the price of groceries. I went to the grocery store not long ago and discovered that the cost of Kraft mayonnaise was almost $10 a jar!
People who are retired and living on fixed incomes find their dollars’ buying power shrinking month by month. Yet the Biden administration claims that Bidenomics has made us all more prosperous.
The government’s official employment rate is more bullshit. Federal bureaucrats claim unemployment is below 4 percent, but that number hides the fact that millions of people are not working and not even looking for work.
The United States is beginning to look like Germany in the early 1930s. Like the United States today, Germany was governed by a man suffering from dementia. Paul Von Hindenburg, president of Germany from 1925 until he died in 1934, drifted in and out of senescence.
Like Hindenburg, who appointed an Austrian corporal with a funny mustache as chancellor of Germany, Biden has made some terrible personnel decisions. Who believes Kamala Harris is qualified to be Vice President?
Germany, in the years leading up to World War II, was wracked by political violence from the left and the right. America, too, is plagued by a rising tide of political violence.
Then, there was inflation, which wiped out the German middle class and drove the German mark down to a million marks to the U.S. dollar. Likewise, America is teetering on the edge of hyperinflation, with millions of elderly people already reduced to poverty.
Evil days are ahead of us. The time may come when we will fondly reminisce about the days when mayonnaise only cost $10 a jar.
LOL! Richard, Are you going soft? Your grandmother knew how to make her own. Here's a recipe (and if this doesn't work for you, do without -- just like your great-grandmother did!)
ReplyDeleteIngredients:
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup canola oil or any high-quality oil of your choice.
Instructions:
1. In a tall jar or bowl, add the egg, lemon juice, and salt.
2. Using an immersion blender, start blending the mixture at the bottom of the jar.
3. While blending, slowly pour the oil into the jar in a thin, steady stream. Continue blending and pouring until all the oil is incorporated, and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy.
Tips:
- Ensure the egg is at room temperature for better emulsification.
- Add the oil slowly to allow for proper emulsification.
- Store the mayonnaise in the fridge for up to two days.
Thanks for the recipe! You are so right. We can make our own mayonnaise! Our family is in violent disagreement about which brand of mayonnaise is the best. Some favor Kraft. Others are Helman partisans. Blue Plate, made in New Orleans, is the local favorite, but a disturbing number of my relatives have deserted to Duke's.
