Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Story outline for my next novel:
Biden is declared unfit, removed from office two days into his third year, Kamala takes over just in time to serve out the remainder of Biden’s term and two full terms of her own
President Kamala (PK) orders US troops overseas to fight brush wars and orders private cars and home air conditioners in the US banned, because Climate Change
During the hot summer, riots break out in major US cities
PK invites the UN to send peacekeepers to maintain order in US cities
Un demands PK disarm the people to keep the peacekeepers safe from the people they’re keeping safe
Language barrier, cultural differences, resentment for past US wars: peacekeepers open fire on citizens, some of whom return fire (looking at you, Blade)
PK declares martial law, orders peacekeepers to round up those deplorable fly-over state residents bitterly clinging to their guns and Bibles, sends them to concentration camps ‘for their own good’
Deplorable people refuse to go, engage in guerilla war against peacekeepers, shortages of toilet paper, bottled water and SPAM, cities burning
PK blames Trump
Congress impeaches Trump again
Hey, this could be a decent Sci Fi story, if we added some aliens. Maybe they’re observing from the Moon saying, “What were they thinking, electing her?” before flying away to look for intelligent life on other planets

”Trulbert” is seeming less and less like satire these days.
Looks what is happening in Sri Lanka now that the government has ordained that all agriculture be organic.
Sri Lanka probably would’ve been okay if covid hysteria hadn’t killed their tourism.
^ except that their government bought the whole climate change hysteria hook, line, and sinker and destroyed their agriculture going organic as Greg mentioned. They used to be self-sufficient in rice with a large tea export. Now they import rice and don’t sell tea. What’ya gonna feed the tourists?
I’d like to suggest that this new novel of JD’s needs to work in Putin somehow. And Russians. For the sake of believabilty.
Within the first 10 days of their mission, the UN peacekeeping forces would be cowering in their compounds within the core of leftist shithole cities as deplorable commandos from the surrounding rural areas take the opportunity to settle scores and do some swamp draining the old fashioned way.
Peacekeeping commanders would say they’re waiting for orders from headquarters.
You know; like they always do.
The peacekeepers will likely be too busy skimming funds and sexual abuse of the populace to do any real peace keeping. It’s a UN tradition.
UN Peacekeepers to what they call the indigenous population: we are here to liberate you!
Colored people: bang!
That would end the racial divide in 5 minutes. The Bloods, Crips, MS13 et al, would fight right beside white urban guerillas. How dare those foreigners invade their turf!
“ The Bloods, Crips, MS13 et al, would fight right beside white urban guerillas..”
That’s already happening, hoss. Did you not watch the video of Chi-Lake Liquors/Target/Apple Store/Foot Locker getting looted?
