New York City is a completely different place now than it was during Mayor Rudy Guiliani’s term. The far left has corrupted the legal system‚ crime is out of control‚ and it just feels like a different city. But who’s to blame&;#63;

Jesse often refers to the nation-loving Americans as “sandwiched”‚ but what does he mean by that&;#63; To understand communism‚ we have to identify the two different kinds of communists in America: street communist scum and the elitist communists with the legal power.

A new report reveals Joe Biden’s handlers will now encircle the aging president as he walks across the White House lawn to conceal his “stiff” posture and elderly shuffling from the American public. Can't Make It Up: The President of the United States has been assigned “walkers.”You heard that right. The man that has access to nuke codes now requires aides to escort him across a lawn. These handlers now walk between Biden and the pool cameras‚ &;quot;to draw less attention to… pic.twitter.com/RO81Dvufb6— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) April 26‚ 2024 Axios: Biden advisers are concerned that videos of Biden shuffling alone across the South Lawn to Marine One have highlighted his age. So now aides walk between him and the cameras.https://t.co/uLNQuXqhfU— Miranda Devine (@mirandadevine) April 26‚ 2024 From Axios: President Biden has introduced a change to his White House departure and return routine: Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself‚ he’s now often surrounded by aides. Why it matters: With aides usually walking between Biden and the press’ camera position outside the White House‚ the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old’s halting and stiff gait‚ Axios’ Hans Nichols and Alex Thompson report. Some Biden advisers have told Axios they’re concerned that videos of Biden walking and shuffling alone — especially across the grass — have highlighted his age. Weeks ago‚ the president told aides that he’d prefer a less formal approach‚ a White House official told Axios. He suggested that they walk with him. White House staffers and reporters alike noticed the sudden change in Biden’s walk routine beginning in mid-April‚ after more than three years in which he’d typically walked solo. Senior aides — including deputy chiefs of staff Bruce Reed and Annie Tomasini‚ and close adviser Mike Donilon — are among those who’ve walked with the president across the lawn to and from the helicopter. Since the change‚ some advisers think the images of Biden’s walks to and from the helicopter are better‚ and they expect him to continue to have aides join him.

John Kay‚ the voice behind “Born To Be Wild” and “Magic Carpet Ride‚” returned to his roots in 2001 with an intense and organic folk and blues solo album called Heretics &; Privateers. Kay’s down-to-earth approach on this album may come across as rather uncharacteristic of the man known for spearheading “heavy metal thunder” with his band Steppenwolf. But upon closer examination‚ Kay’s introspective lyrics and stark arrangements are tersely genuine and profound. After several playbacks‚ it’s not too much of a stretch to say that Kay‚ as a songwriter and social commentator‚ may well be in the same league as Bob Dylan‚ Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young. The only difference is that Kay remains a bit rebellious when it comes to the present political climate. To the uninitiated‚ Steppenwolf appeared to be the epitome of a dirty‚ unkempt‚ hard livin’‚ hard rockin’ band of the late 60s. Songs like “The Pusher” were too provocative and in-your-face for the squares and conformists of the day. But underneath the rigid pretense was a band with a mission and a statement to back it up with. Steppenwolf definitely made an impact that lasts to this day. This has enabled Kay‚ an immigrant from East Germany‚ to get a taste of the American dream. Unlike many of his contemporaries‚ he hasn’t turned his back on the masses and isolated himself in an ivory tower. The themes throughout Heretics &; Privateers directly address the downtrodden and the self-righteous. The title track sets the tone‚ outlining the trials and tribulations of the everyman who‚ in the end‚ realizes that “chasing the carrot is a never-ending race.” It carries over to “Don’t Waste My Time‚” a song anyone who’s ever been put on hold by corporate America can identify with. “Ain’t That A Shame” is yet another tune that simply disdains the greed and self-interest that inhibits modern society. Kay isn’t constantly towing the line about the condition of the social order. His most personal song‚ “For The Women In My Life‚” is an upbeat and earnest tribute to his mother‚ wife and daughter. “To Be Alive” lectures the whiners of the world‚ but it certainly doesn’t lack any hope or compassion in its delivery. And while Kay returns to his condescension of consumerism on “I Will Not Be Denied” and the somewhat playful‚ “Endless Commercial‚” he manages to end the record on a high note with “The Back Page‚” a paean to “all the helpers‚ all the healers” often sidelined by the assassins‚ criminals and politicians who seem to grab the headlines. Joined by members of Steppenwolf as well as such hot shots as the legendary guitarist Steve Cropper‚ Kay’s cutthroat vocals and guitar work give the album the kind of musical underscore necessary to validate the premise. Somewhat dark with a few light edges‚ Heretics &; Privateers is proof positive that there are still a few wounds to heal before we are all able to live in peace and harmony. ~ Shawn Perry The post John Kay | Heretics &; Privateers – Lost Gem first appeared on VintageRock.com.
