WAYNE ROOT: The Important Question Isn’t “Who is Replacing Biden?” The Life & Death Question We Should All Be Asking Is, “Who Is Running Our Country?”

First and foremost, “Who is running the country?”

That’s the question of the century. We now know it isn’t Joe Biden. It was never Joe. So, who is minding the store? Who has run the country for the past four years? Who is running the country right now? Who is making life and death decisions that affect the lives of every American?

Who is running our economy? Who is protecting our Homeland? Who is commanding our military? Who makes decisions about WW3? What if Russia or China attack tomorrow? Who is in charge?

Who has their finger on the nuclear button? Who will respond to a terrorist attack?

Who made the decision to leave our border wide open, and welcome in tens of millions of illegal alien foreign invaders? Who benefits from that decision?

Who decided to persecute Trump and rig trials against him?

Who made the decision to use the DOJ and FBI to persecute the J6ers and torture them in prison?

Who made the decision to force-vaccinate every employee in America through the OSHA mandate? Has Big Pharma bribed the whole government? Does Big Pharma run the FDA and CDC?

And if my prediction has been right from day one…and it’s always been Barack Obama giving the orders, making the decisions, and running the country as the de facto President of the United States…

We have an unelected, unConstitutional, “Manchurian Candidate” running America.

I agree that this is the MOST important question!

We know that Woodrow Wilson and FDR were infirm at the end of their terms and that wives were running things or were at least thought to be running things.

Time for a Constitution amendment establishing an upper age limit for politicians and bureaucrats.  

I’d suggest that it’s the Social Security full-benefits retirement age!  In addition to term-limits for every elective office.

Argh!

Time to Leave the Casino?
22 June 2024
By Jerry Stickman

Over the years, there have been different versions of “man on the street” interviews. Typically, someone would ask a random person on the street a general question. This was done to get a feeling for what the general public felt about a topic.

I tried this in a few local casinos. Curious about what the average casino gambler felt about different aspects of casino gambling, I took the questions directly to them. I asked each of the gamblers several questions. This article covers the second question I asked them on the casino floor.

The question this time was “When is it time for you to quit gambling and leave the casino?”

Other than one time, she never went “broke”; that was the second time we went.  After that she developed her “envelope system”.  The same one she used for household expense just translated to gambling.  After that disastrous trip, where we ran out by Tuesday, got a refill, and by leaving time on Saturday we were able replace the fill and was substantially ahead, it was time for a better system.  She loved to gamble but hated to lose.

After that “lesson”, she would divide the gambling money into three envelopes per day  — morning, afternoon, and night.  If we tapped out during a session, that was it and we went and did something else.  Otherwise, we’d put what was left back in the envelope and go to the next envelope.  The morning we were leaving, she’s consolidate all the envelopes, return the original stake to an envelope for the next trip, and split the winnings.  She was usually always very lucky; me not so much.  

When people asked her why she continued to split with her “loser” spouse, she would always quickly reply: “I know the day I stop splitting, he’ll his the lottery for millions.”

I never did hit anything big, but she never stopped splitting.

Miss those good trips every time I see a casino advertisement.
