Today's Schloss-Blog is dedicated to Uncle Tim.
Uncle Tim says Joe Biden seems to be a good man.
He's right. His popularity numbers prove it.
And 57 percent of Americans agree, how about that!
Uncle Tim says Republicans are trying to bring Americans together by passing restrictive voting laws across the country.
In Georgia, for instance, that law eliminates Sunday voting, or "souls to the polls," a Black tradition.
That law reduces the required number of drop boxes for absentee and mail-in ballots to one (ONE!) per county (PER COUNTY!) and makes them accessible only in the county clerk's office during scheduled voting hours.
Biden, meanwhile, ahem - Uncle Tim, has signed an order promoting access to voting rights and he did it on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday massacre.
And in Congress, a bill you, Uncle Tim, oppose, would enable those opposing all those restrictive state voting laws to ensure everyone's ability to vote in a fair and expeditious manner.
Meanwhile, Uncle Tim, you say America is not a racist nation.
You're right.
However, as Joy Behar of "The View" points out about you, you're a Black man, raised by a single mom in South Carolina, who doesn't "understand the difference between a racist country and systemic racism."
Who doesn't understand why Derek Chauvin was convicted.
Who doesn't understand that Officer Kim Potter killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, mistaking her pistol for her taser.
Heck, I do that all the time. Don't you, Uncle Tim?
And Uncle Tim, where you said Republicans did so much to get vaccines to the American people, they left a mess of a distribution system behind, or no distribution system, for that matter, while more than 550,000 Americans died of COVID on your watch.
Biden, on the other hand, got 2 million people a day vaccinated and now has more than 100 million Americans fully vaccinated.
Trump was on his way to killing that many of the former and infecting that many of the latter. Trump, and you Republicans.
Your speech, Uncle Tim, was written to portray all the failures Biden was supposed to have had thanks to the filibuster and blocking of progressive legislation by Republicans.
Republicans don't care if Americans die. Especially in Blue States.
But Biden is a president for all the people.
Now, Uncle Tim, as you shut down the Underground Railroad, please get out there and tell Americans to get vaccinated so we can achieve herd immunity, by July 4, as Biden is hopeful of doing.
So far, he's done everything he said he would do.
All you've done is complain about it.
Which is, I suppose, what you said you'd do. Congratulations.
Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.
More Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show.
