The left's golden girl wants to finally get married

 


(My new American Thinker post)

According to news reports, New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced her resignation effective February 7th.  This is a portion of her speech:   

The PM spoke directly to members of her family during the speech, telling her four-year-old daughter Neve: "Mum is looking forward to being there when you start school this year,"

She also asked her fiancé Clarke Gayford if they could "finally get married" after the coronavirus pandemic thwarted their earlier plans.

She also said something about not having anything left in the tank.  Is she talking about energy or public support?

It looks like New Zealand just got fed up with her ways, i.e. an authoritarian tyrant dressed up in the finest woke attire.   Like some of our Democrats, she became a control freak during the pandemic.  At one point, she locked down New Zealand because of one case of COVID-19.  Furthermore, she told her fellow citizens to turn in their neighbors for talking to people outside.  That reminds me of Cuba and the regime's neighborhood committees to defend the revolution.  As expected, she went into gun grabbing mode after the mass shooting at a mosque in 2019.

She reminded me of Senator Elizabeth Warren without claiming that she was part Māori, the people living there before the English landed their ships.  

We wish her well now that she can "finally get married" and turn her partner into a husband and father of their daughter.  Maybe she can start a New Zealand reality TV version of “The Donna Reed Show” and kiss her husband off to work every day. Maybe they can have a couple of more kids and remind the country that New Zealand needs more babies to pay for all those generous social programs.  It's hard to keep your welfare state clicking with a birth rate of 1.6 children per woman.

In the end, it was political reality that drove her out.  People just got tired of her act.  My bet is that her liberal soulmate, PM Justin Trudeau of Canada, is next.  He may be telling us soon that his tank is a bit dry too.

Happy # 89 Camilo Pascual







The great Camilo Pascual was born in La Habana, or Havana Cuba, on this day in 1934. 

As a young kid, my favorite Cuban baseball player was Camilo Pascual.  He pitched most his career for the original Washington Senators who became the Minnesota Twins in 1961.

As a Senator, Pascual pitched for very bad teams.   It got better when the team moved to Minnesota and the Twins became a perennial contender with a young Harmon Killebrew, power hitter Bob Allison,  the very good lefty Jim Kaat and fellow Cubans Tony Oliva & Zoilo Versalles.

His numbers were great with the Twins:   20-11 in 1962 and 20-9 in 1963.     He led the league in strikeouts 3 years in a row.  In other words, he was one of the best right handed pitchers in baseball.

Overall, he won 176 games with a very good 3.63 career ERA.    He would have easily won 230 games with a better team!

We say happy birthday to one of my heroes.    I don't know what Camilo is doing these days.   I read a few years ago that he was scouting for the Twins in Latin America.

Happy birthday to the great Camilo.   I hope that you really enjoy your birthday!
