Deep thinkers

Wasn’t it about a year ago that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the congressional expert on climate change, warned us we had twelve years left, and then extinction? I trust all Americans are blinded by her intellectual brilliance.

Now comes Patricia Arquette, who, I’m informed, is a Hollywood actress of some notoriety. Ms. Arquette, like AOC, is an expert on mass extinction and planetary destruction. Per Ms. Arquette’s research, both will occur if DJT is reelected.

We are blessed to have deep thinkers like these two showing us the way. Couple their mental horsepower with that of Ms. Pelosi and Mr. McConnell and the future looks bright. And a President Biden will cement our planet’s continued existence … if he can just remember which planet he’s on.

God bless America, and God bless our military.
