Biden Gas Crisis: Last summer Cosco gas prices in California were under $2.50 per gallon. Today, less than 60 days after the inauguration, they are at $3.79 per gallon and climbing. In the community where I live many stations are at $4.00 and higher. The petroleum industry is predicting between $5.00 and $6.00 by August. So in less than one year President Biden will have picked the pocket books of Americans at the pumps! Oh, and as for the reasoning that higher prices will lead to people buying more electric vehicles all I can say is … which people? The poor and middle working folks are going to be hit very hard. Gas prices are a hidden tax on the poor.

Biden Border Crisis: The border is in Crisis. No amount of spin from the left can change the fact that the Biden open border policy is a disaster. More than a disaster it reveals who Biden really is. He is a mere political puppet and a man with a fragile ego. His proclamations during the campaign of working for all Americans if elected was a lie. In less than 30 days he has dismantled a tri lateral agreement with three Central American countries and Mexico that had created order at the border. All four countries benefitted from the agreement and have since stated the Biden Open Border policy is a mistake. The left wing media is incapable of treating this crisis honestly. During the Trump administration they did everything they could to paint Trump as a heartless monster who separated families and caged little kids. today the border patrol experts and by the way these are people who know and understand border control all claim Biden had let loose a tiger. Child trafficking, drug smuggling, and human border smuggling are out of control. Good job Mr. President…..your ego could not allow anything Donald Trump did, good or bad, stand. By all measures President Trump’s border policy and actions was working and should have been supported not canceled.

Biden Press Conference Crisis: President Biden refuses to hold a press conference where he will have to answer direct questions for the media. The reason is he is unable to handle this kind of communication. President Trump answered questions daily from the media and even when they were clearly out to get him he made himself accessible. He also kept the American people informed via Twitter on a daily basis. President Biden is in hiding and the media are now realizing how great it was dealing with a President who was straightforward and an open book. When President Biden holds an open press conference, if he holds one, it will the beginning of the end for him. It will be the lead up to his resignation and Vice President Harris’s becoming President. This by the way was the plan from day one.

Mitt Romney’s dumb idea: It would be nice to just think his suggestion of having the Federal Government pay each and every American $1,000. to stimulate the economy was simply dumb. The fact is it goes way beyond dumb. It insults working people, students, seniors, single moms and dads, and all the rest of us too. His idea of giving us all one thousand dollars would be a one time payment. Will it help stimulate the economy? I am sure it will…but for only about two weeks. Will it help the millions now out of work and unable to pay rent, food, student loans, credit card and car loan debt? No, it won’t even nick their money needs.

It is a frivolous idea put out there by a very detached elite politician. Romney, and all the other “political saviors” are unable to grasp the real problem the American people face as they now have to “hunker down” for the next three or more months. Most working people of America live pay check to pay check. Miss three months of pay checks and guess what…. home, car, food, medical, and so much more goes in the toilet…. and in there without paper too! People will be financially ruined by summer time. Big business and political elite will come out on top.

It’s all about the banks: Lets step back a day. The Federal Reserve yesterday lowered the interest rate for banks borrowing money to 0% ….yes, that’s right, 0%! So as not to be confused the reasoning stated for this interest rate reduction by the Fed was to help the banks get through this tough time and allow them easy money in order to…..”stimulate the economy”. The banks will be helping big business and some small businesses too to keep going when their income sources shrink or even dry up. The entire auto industry as well as every large corporation in American will get easy low interest loans, as well as free money too, to get them through this crisis.

But for the American workers, the students, the single moms, and the rest of us…a one time $1,000 dollars will do the trick….according to Mitt guided by his ethics, religion and strong moral compass. Meanwhile people will continue to owe on their 12%, 14%, 18% and higher loans and credit card debt. They will not be able to get loans from the banks. The credit card companies and big banks will not give a three month grace period to allow people breathing room while no income is coming in. No, the “banks and financial institutions “and their elite customers will get a strong helping handout from the Federal Government. The rest of us….well, we will get a thousand dollars. Glad these politicians are looking out for us.

The airlines, cruise lines, and ground transportation will all be funded: President Trump made it clear today that the airlines too will get big bailouts. They will get the money needed to keep going and be ready to fly full and fast when this is crisis is over. The Federal Government will back them 100%. When the crisis is over we can all get back to flying….if we can afford it.

What “the American people” really need: As I stated it is a “pay check to pay check” life for most Americans. The Federal Government should give everyone reduced interest rates on all credit card and auto loans. I mean lower it….2%, and make it for the life of the loans. Also give forgiveness on all late payments. Further give a three month window of no payments. This would be for all loans to include mortgage and rent payments. Now this is a stimulant program that will help “all” Americans. This would get the working class through this crisis and, like the airlines, allow them to ” be up and running” when the crisis ends.

Oh, and if you want to still give the American people cash to stimulate things Mitt, lets make a $1,000 dollars a month for the next three months to get them through it. You know gas, food, supplies, and the like.

California Global Warming Concerns….where are the trains? The Golden State boasts the 5th largest economy in the world. The state has been run for the past 30 plus years by the democrats. These liberals claim to be concerned about the environment, the working class, the poor, and the homeless. So much poppycock! It is all pure “cow manure”.

State gas tax is 50 cents per gallon: Gas prices in California are the highest in the nation. The current average price is $3.83 per gallon. It goes up and down but never by much. Approximately 14% of each gallon of gas sold goes to the state, purportedly for road maintenance. The tax in Tennessee is 21.4 cents per gallon. The price of gas in Tennessee is $2.34 per gallon. The sale of gas in California is a profitable business for the state of California. The politicians are hooked not just on the gas taxes but also on the lobby monies from the auto and oil industries. Did I mention these politicians are Democrats? Oh, yes I did.

The working poor, single moms, hurt the most…The democrats running the Golden State look the other way as the oil companies continue to gouge the state’s workers who are stuck in their cars. The lack of public transit, and in particular light and medium rail, in and around the urban areas is shameful. The actions, or more correctly put, the inaction’s of these politicians are nothing less than criminal.

Lets See Their Tax Returns: Listen to these hypocrites continue to bash Donald Trump calling for him to release his tax returns while they are creating so much economic stress and hurt on their own state’s working class. The call for Trump’s tax records is a good one….but lets not stop there. I want the tax records of all the local, state, and federal politicians released as well. Lets see where they are getting their money from.

The Bullet Train…all smoke and mirrors: The bullet train was first proposed in the 1980s. It was going to take people from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 2 plus hours. It’s cost was estimated to be 39 billion.

Fast Forward 2019: The train has yet to leave the station. It has gone through numerous revisions from having it go from Sacramento to Los Angeles instead of from San Francisco, to the “bullet” part being taking off the title. Revised time of travel between the two cities has yet to be determined. Cost to date is anywhere from 12 to 15 billion dollars and climbing, of which 80% has been spent on consultants. The new target date of when this non bullet train will begin service is 2033 with an estimated final cost higher than 100 billion dollars.

Jail Stats: So lets look at this…. no train has run since the inception of the idea in 1988. The consultants have pocketed billions in planning, no real train even exists, no track has been laid, no people have been moved. The most amazing number from all of this is the number 0. Zero people have gone to jail! Meanwhile…. they keep raising our gas taxes and protecting the oil companies continual price gouging of the hard working people of California.

They Do Not Care About Us: Do you really think these democrat politicians care about the environment, about the workers, the single moms, the poor, and the homeless? I want to see their tax returns!

General Eisenhower and the Interstate Highway System: President Eisenhower proposed the connecting of cities with a population of 50,000 or higher by an interstate road system in 1956. The Interstate Highway System was deemed completely finished by 1996. President Eisenhower was looking to the future of our nation. The economic boom of America after WWII can be directly tied to his program.

The Inter Urban Transit System: (IUTS): I believe we should now call for the creation of the Inter Urban Transit System of light and medium rail to be built in every city with a population over 50,000. This should be a nationally funded program just like President Eisenhower’s Inter State Highway System (ISHS). Once begun the politicians could then be able to claim they care about the environment, the working class, the single moms, and the poor. Until then….it’s all poppycock!

The Border Crisis:  The recent news reports of the Texas holding facilities lack of proper housing for the illegal immigrants being held there makes the point that our nation has a “border crisis”. Thousands are crossing illegally each month and most are seeking asylum. The majority of these illegal immigrants are from four main Central America nations. Here are some population demographics:

1. Nicaragua:   6 million people.
2. El Salvador: 6 million people
3. Honduras:    9 million people
4. Guatemala:  16 million people
5. Costa Rica:   4 million people
6. Belize:           330 thousand people
7. Mexico:        125 million people.

Of the above listed countries most of the illegals are coming from Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. Of these countries Guatemala is one of the poorest countries in the world with half of their population living below the poverty level. The other countries have fairly stable economic environments. All of the above countries, with the exception of Costa Rica and Belize, have serious criminal groups and organizations that pose security issues for their citizens.

It Simply A Numbers Game:  The issue is not why this particular make-shift facility in Texas could barely do the job of providing safe and secure housing, but rather why the border patrol had to convert this inadequate building to a holding facility in the first place. There are simply too many people to detain and there are not enough places to put them. The border agents are overwhelmed. They are understaffed, underfunded, and operating under archaic immigration laws.

The failure here is not with the men and women of our Border Patrol, it is with the  members of congress who refuse to pass a modern, and effective, law on immigration. The congress failing to act is the reason we have these kinds of things happening. The media walks arm in arm with the liberals in Congress. They equate the actions of our nations border agents with those of the Concentration camp guards of the Holocaust.  They continue to focus on the holding and housing problem without asking why real solutions are not being enacted by Congress. The fault is not with Trump administration or with the Border Agents, it is with the liberals in the congress who want to have their cake and eat it too. There is just too much political fodder here for them to do the right thing.

Give Them A Court Date…And Let Them All Enter: My advice to President Trump would be to simply give the democrats and the media what they want. Let all but the clearly identifiable criminals enter the country. We give each immigrant an asylum hearing date, a bus ticket to the city of their choice, $500 dollars, and information on where to go for services when they arrive at their destination. A guide showing which US States and Cities are sanctuary locations would also be provided. Since so many politicians from these local to the state sanctuary havens have such concern for these immigrants it is only smart to let them step up and put their money where their mouths are!

Worst Case Scenario: The worst case scenario of this policy would be that half of all of the people living in the four main immigrant source countries would empty out and come to the United States. That would be about 19 million new people entering our country and heading for the Sanctuary locations. Not too bad…I think we can absorb it, eh?  Let these political hypocrites who are doing all of the finger pointing, but providing no pressure on congress to act, show us how to fix this one.

Caesars Restaurant Tijuana, Mexico: If you have dined at Caesars Restaurant in Tijuana Mexico you know you had a very special experience and you also know you will be going back soon! Caesars is simply the best dining experience in the San Diego/Tijuana region, if not in all of Southern California.  The Caesar salad was invented there in the 1930’s. Caesar’s is a lively, romantic, and exciting restaurant. Firsts class describes Caesars; first class food, international chefs, service second to none, and great value make the trip South of the Border one you will never forget. Getting there from San Diego is easy. Walk across the border, take a 4 minute cab ride to the front door of Caesars and return the same way. If you prefer to drive they valet park your car for $2.50 American and keep it in a secure lot. See you at Caesars!

Chicago Mayor’s Comments On Ice Officers:  The Mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, urged Chicago citizens to publicize ICE Officers locations, to not cooperate with ICE, and to hide people who are under court orders for deportation. She is calling for an underground railroad to protect these illegal immigrants who are court ordered for deportation. She is equating ICE Officers, and their mission, with that of the slave owners during the era of slavery. The illegal immigrants are to be viewed not as law breakers but rather innocent victims who need protecting. The government agents enforcing the immigration laws….these are the real bad guys. It does not matter that these immigrants have either had their day in court, or did not show up for their court hearing. Laws matter….all the laws…..or, do they?

Paying Taxes Should Now Be Optional:  Mayor Lightfoot’s recent anti government stand made me think hard and long about following laws. If illegal immigrants who sneak into the country or overstay their visas are being treated as victims when law enforcement attempts to apply the immigration law then why should you or I pay our income taxes? If it is victims the liberals are looking for then there are plenty of tax payers ready to say “look here, help me too”!

These unfair tax laws allow our government to garnish wages, impound automobiles, seize houses and other property, and ultimately put non paying, law breaking, citizens in prison. Lets be honest here, taxes put a big financial hurt on most Americans. Why are there no liberal politicians telling us all we can stop paying them? Taxes are, after all, unfair and put a great financial burden on citizens who must pay them. Save us from those racist, evil, Treasury Agents, Mayor Lightfoot.  Save the illegals seems to be the liberal politicians cry of the day…. but I say “no more taxes”.

 

 

 

Back in the Saddle:  Many of you have inquired as to when I might get back to The Pomorski Report. I had a back fusion surgery in August and have been struggling to get back on track physically. I am hoping to get things up and running again….this being my first report in some time. Thanks for your concerns and warm support.

The French Valley: Along with the back surgery we recently moved from San Diego fifty miles North, to the French Valley. The French Valley is one of the prettiest rural areas of California. It is filled many fine wineries, farms, lakes, and open fields. The valley is surrounded by mountains to include the “astronomy famous” Palomar Mountain.  The area is served by the French Valley Airport and it appears the jet setters have discovered the easy access this airport affords. Future reports and the upcoming podcast will be based from what I deem to be the last unspoiled piece of Southern California.

Homeless in California: The growing numbers of homeless in this state are finally getting the attention of the citizens. The media can no longer pretend this is merely  an accidental problem caused by unequal economic opportunities. There is some of that, yes, but the majority of the homeless are drug addicted and mentally ill. The feces, tents, and sleeping bodies in just about every nice public place cannot be allowed to continue. For all the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent to fix this problem it is only getting worse by the day. I see homelessness as a new industry benefiting mostly liberal groups. The homeless provide jobs, money, and life long career opportunities to social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, church and non church based help organizations, and now  the newest career field….“feces picker uppers”. I will talk about the right solution to this problem in an upcoming piece…stay tuned.

UFOs: The US Air Force released a report this week confirming many pilots over the past twenty years have documented and reported UFO sightings from the air. I knew a retired Air Force Colonel, a former Vietnam War fighter pilot, who said they routinely referred to the visitors as “the grays“. He said sightings were common stuff. More on UFOs in future reports. Send me your experiences.

Tear Down That Wall Madam Speaker: Speaker Pelosi resides in one of the most exclusive properties in America. She lives in a mansion sitting high on a hill overlooking the San Francisco Bay Area, and the magnificent natural beauty below.  Her home is a gated compound surrounded by “a very secure” security wall.

Less than a half mile away, down the hill in the city, live thousands of homeless people sleeping on sidewalks, park benches, and on the ground. Speaker Pelosi has yet to “tear down her wall” and let them camp on her front yard where there is plenty of room for port a potties, tents, and food stations. While insisting the homeless stay out of her private space she calls a wall on our Southern Border racist, and un-American.

So much nonsense by these these liberal pretenders who say they care for the people but in truth are all about dividing our country and holding on to their political power. Madam Speaker may I ask that you cut the crap and start supporting the funding and building of our border wall as well as true reform of the immigration laws. Work with President Trump to solve the problem.
