Before hate, let’s talk love.  Tomorrow is Mother’s Day.  Dorothy Ruth Hopper Kelly raised six children with her husband, Miles.  I was the oldest.  She did so during an extremely brutal period, World War II, when Miles was away much of the time and she essentially filled both roles.  With the help of her sister, Hustie, she did an amazing job.  I love you, Mom!

Now the bad part:  The hatred of our president continues to grow.  Recently, actor Mark Hamill, of Luke Skywalker fame, published a photoof Trump lying dead in a casket with the words “If Only”!  Try as I might, I cannot comprehend the level of venom directed at a president who has accomplished so much during this term in office. 

I saw a headline the other day which would have been humorous under other circumstances.  It read; ”Congressman (deleted) who was endorsed by President Trump has been charged with spousal abuse”. The implication?      

 I am reasonably certain that Hamill will get a visit from the Secret Service if it hasn’t already occurred.  I wonder how the actor would react to a published picture of him lying dead with the same phrase?  I’m sure he’d be screaming “lawsuit”!  Just another Hollywood phony. 

Speaking of phonies, I’m hearing rumors that Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona might consider running for president in 2028.  This is the same moron who published a request for military personnel to disobey “illegal” orders coming from above!  This from a former military officer!  My brother Marc Kelly, a former combat marine, is muttering in his grave . . .

Hate seems to be the watchword of the left.  I’m encouraged to hate folks whose skin is a different color or who practice a different faith.  I must support the termination of life while in the womb and protect the poor illegal alien who raped and murdered a citizen.  And I’m compelled to look the other way when thieves ransack our government programs and laugh while doing it.

And cruelty isn’t limited to politics.  Family issues also abound.  I recently read an article which left me speechless.  A caretaker brought a fourteen-year-old boy to the emergency room.  Subsequent examination revealed horrific mistreatment suffered by the teen.  Example:  The average weight of a male that age is ninety-five pounds.  This child weighed forty-five!  He was also covered in numerous cuts and bruises and had difficulty communicating.  Medical staff called police and the caretaker was taken into custody.  Get this: While the boy was very malnourished, the caretaker was morbidly obese.  A photo revealed a frame which would have difficulty fitting into the bed of a pickup truck!

Speaking of news, billionaire Ted Turner died a few days ago.  He was a media icon having developed the first twenty-four-hour cable news channel, CNN in 1980.  His third wife was actress Jane Fonda to whom he was married for ten years.  He is also known for his philanthropic accomplishments and the fact that, for years, he was the largest private landholder in the United States and had an intense love of bison.  He was eighty-seven.

The leftists took another hit when the Supreme Court of Virginia declared the latest gerrymandering attempt unconstitutional.  If approved, it would nearly have eliminated GOP representation in Congress.  As I’ve indicated previously, the Democrat Party is on life support.  The midterms will indeed be interesting.

Lastly, President Trump has delivered on another promise: release of government documents regarding Unidentified Flying Objects which have previously been kept secret despite decades of demands for disclosure.  I’ve always been a “sci-fi” nut and look forward to discovering the contents.  On one trip to Arizona, we stopped in Roswell, New Mexico, the most famous site and I snapped a picture of the entrance.

Is there life out there.  Have they visited?  I have a strong feeling they have.  I suspect that one visitor created the Democrat Party.

As I begin to compose this masterpiece, my thoughts return some six decades to my time in Germany while in the army.  May Day was Communist Day and the streets of Stuttgart were filled with boisterous commies.  We military personnel were strongly advised to stay on post.  If we chose to leave, we were ordered not to do so in uniform.  I can’t recall whether I ever did so.

All of that returned as I witnessed crowds gathering in various cities here to protest the efforts of the current administration.  What I wasn’t prepared to learn was the fact that many schools were closed so that our leftist teaching profession could participate and encourage students of all ages to attend.

I started teaching high school English and history at the ripe old age of twenty-one in 1959.  I did so for several years before moving on.  At that time, the focus was on the basics.  Students learned those things which would be required to live in a sane society: English to communicate, history to avoid pitfalls occurring in the past, science to comprehend our surroundings.  Today, none of that matters.  What does matter is the socialist agenda.  Cursive writing?  What is that?  And who cares?

Socialism and communism vary only mildly and both have never worked in previous decades.  Private property and individualism are ignored for the sake of the working class.  The extremely wealthy are the enemy.  What is ignored is the fact that both socialism and communism require funding.  And who provides the required funding?  What isn’t common knowledge is the fact that it is the wealthy who pay over forty percent (40%) of all taxes.  We are being taken over by a philosophy which has never been successful.  Look at New York City.

Former FBI director Jim Comey has been indicted . . . again.  If anyone ever deserved indictment it is Comey and his cohorts who engineered the Russian collusion fiasco.  While strolling on the beach, Comey allegedly found seashells spelling out “8647”.  “It isn’t working so we’ll 86 it,” is an old expression for getting rid of something.  And 47 relates to Trump’s position in the presidency.  No one believes, of course,  that washed-up seashells can spell, and Comey insists that he was not familiar with term 86, which is ridiculous.

The indictment is justified.  In addition to “8647”, there is numerous evidence that Comey was deeply involved with the “Russia Collusion” and that he passed classified data to the press via a close friend and kept other classified information in his home!  Whether said indictment will result in criminal conviction depends on which jurisdiction the trial takes place.  I am convinced that there are others who will be indicted.

On another front, I am horrified by the number of mass shootings which are taking place in the country.  It seems like there is one almost daily and many are familial or social.  The obvious question is: “why is this happening?  The left will be very quick to blame guns as they always do; however, the old adage still applies.  Guns don’t kill, people kill people.  How does one cope with anger and hate?  Candidly, I believe the lamestream media must share responsibility.

Another shooting incident occurred at the Washington Monument just days ago.  The shooter was shot when he drew a weapon as Secret Service agents approached him because their sensors indicated a concealed weapon.  While he was being transported to the hospital he continued to spew disparaging comments about the White House and its occupants.  He did not mention a specific target.

As I’ve stated ad nauseam, I will never understand the level of hate directed at a president who has accomplished so much during his terms of office, all of it positive.  Possibly I should sit down with an extreme leftist and inquire as to why the hatred is so extreme.  Then, again, it would more than likely wind up in a fistfight.

I have absolutely no doubt how history will portray Donald Trump and the left will not be pleased.

Paco              

Once again, thanks primarily to the “lame stream media”, we have an attempt on President Trump’s life.  Rather than some dark character, this attempted assassin is a thirty-one-year-old Californian with two master’s degrees, a teaching certificate and is a video game creator with no history of violence that has come to light . . . except for his manifesto, published after the act where the hate becomes  evident.  His name is Troy Allen.

The reason why he took a train rather than flying is obvious; his weapons, including a dismantled shotgun, would not be detected due to a much laxer security system.  They were also not detected when he checked in to the hotel the day before the event thereby avoiding extremely strict surveillance just prior to it.

It’s obvious that he planned the attack.  Rather than attempting to walk through the Secret Service perimeter he ran, thereby catching the agents off guard.  While the agents drew their weapons, I think they were reluctant to fire with thousands of attendees just behind the wall.  Allen did fire his handgun, one bullet striking one of the agents in the chest.  Fortunately, he was wearing a bullet proof vest.  Allen was then taken down.  Trump, Melania and his cabinet members present were quickly evacuated and chaos ensued, however, no one was seriously hurt.

A couple of things puzzle me:  First, Both Trump and Vance were attending.  I had always assumed that, for obvious reasons, the president and vice-president were not permitted to appear in public together.  Second, the majority of his cabinet was also there.  Had a bomb been placed and not detected and then exploded, nearly all of the administration would have been wiped out, thereby rendering the country incontinent.  (Pun intended.)

If you think this not a problem, please keep in mind that half of those attending hate the president.  In fact, he has avoided attendance on previous occasions for that very reason.  All it would take is one nutcase reporter with a suicide wish . . .

This marks the third serious attempt on President Trump’s life and I place much of the responsibility on the legacy media.  While I peruse news reports each day, I grudgingly count the number of negative stories published by Irish Star, Daily Beast, Atlanta Black Star News, Raw Story, New York Times and several others making much of his alleged shortcomings.  He missed a step, appeared to be asleep in a meeting, screamed profanities at a reporter, mumbled a response  . . . you get the gist.  He isn’t fit to be president, they holler.  This disorder is referred to as Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).

As I’ve indicated previously, Donald Trump is his own worst enemy.  He’ll make a humorous remark which is immediately determined to be serious by the idiot left media.  A classic example is his comment that he would be a dictator the first year of his term and the left screamed, “Trump admits he is a dictator!” 

Now, imagine if you will that this is the only news source the nutty left hears.  I’m always amused when the socialist left describes Trump as a “Nazi” or Adolph Hitler.  The term Nazi comes from the German word, pronounced “not ze o nal”, hence the phrase.   Hitler’s party was called National SocialistGerman Worker’s Party and Adolph Hitler was a socialist . . . the opposite from Donald Trump.  I’m curious: does our socialist left consider socialism evil?

I firmly believe that the Democrat Party is on life support.  It has no positive agenda and no established leader.  Some federal law enforcement agencies have gone months without pay while the left supports illegal immigration and ignores taxpaying citizens suffering from criminal activity perpetrated by those illegals. 

It is socialism that is evil.  It opposes private ownership which is a staple of American existence.  Everything belongs to everyone!  Capitalism is verboten.  To verify that socialism doesn’t work, check out New York City.  Personally, I can’t determine the difference between socialism and communism.  Both are abhorrent.

When is it going to end?

Remember that famous poem?

Listen my children and you shall hear

Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere

On the eighteenth of April in seventy-five

Hardly a man is still alive

Who remembers that famous day and year

I wonder what Henry Wadsworth Longfellow would think if he could see our country today.  Do you suppose he could grab the concept of socialism and corruption now ravaging this nation?  And what would our Founding Fathers think of the abuse of their Constitution?

The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.  That sounds pretty straight forward, doesn’t it?  Why are socialists so intent to deprive us of that right?  The answer is actually quite simple: Control!  The purpose of the amendment was to eliminate control by an aggressive government as they had under English rule.  An armed militia would prevent it.  Sounds like an excellent concept . . .

Massachusetts and Virginia were bastions of the revolutionary movement.  Today they are rigorously controlled by the people the Fathers feared.  A phenomenon referred to as gerrymandering controls its governments, the rigging of voting districts to favor a particular political party, 

Act Blue is a Democrat entity charged with collecting donations for party members running for office.  It collects billions od dollars, much of it coming from foreign doners like George Soros which is illegal.  Trump is making an effort to declare it so and an investigation is under way.  Act Blue’s lawyers have left the organization and its employees have pled the 5^th Amendment to questions from investigators over a hundred times!

Eric Swalwell’s flight from office is only the beginning of the exodus.  More resignations are coming and some have already occurred.  Sheila Cherfilus McCormick, a Democrat member from Florida is currently being investigated for alleged misuse of campaign money and chances are good that she will be compelled to resign.

And Ilhan Omar is on the hot seat once again.  She is disputing her net worth of thirty million dollars, stating that it is actually ninety-five thousand and that her bookkeeping staff made an error.  She is currently married to her third husband, a millionaire.  If you recall, her first husband was her brother.  If irregularities are proven, she could face deportation.

Another investigation has captured my interest involving ten scientists who have been reported missing or died under mysterious circumstances.  All were involved in some way with aerospace and nuclear science and all had top security clearances.  While there is no known connection, President Trump has ordered an investigation by the FBI.

Speaking of the FBI, Kash Patel has become the latest target of the legacy media reporting that Patel has a drinking problem.  This is allegedly according to FBI agents who have witnessed erratic and disturbing behavior and who reported it to the media anonymously.  Patel, of course, hotly denies the claims; however I’ve always wondered why Dan Bongino left the organization so abruptly.

And the Iran conflict drags on.  The president has extended the cease fire a few more days causing consternation among congressional members, some his own faithful supporters.  He keeps setting deadlines which they continue to ignore and I find myself wondering whether “boots on the ground” will be the final result. 

The Save America Act is still in limbo, thanks to Republican Senators led by John Thune.  I cannot fathom the resistance to a bill which will make America safer and accomplish their leader’s objective?  It only firms up the reason I left the Republican Party.

Paco    

It’s finally happened!  Eric Swalwell has been exposed.  Not only has he dropped out of the governor’s race, but he’s also resigned from Congress.  For decades, the Left has ignored his behavior, particularly the Fang Fang fiasco.  For that same period, he has sexually abused many women, some of whom were his employees. 

His dropping out of the governor’s race could prove could devastating for the Democrat Party.  In California, the top two contenders are placed on the ballot regardless of party affiliation.  In other words, the governor’s race could have two Republican contenders rather than one Republican and one Democrat.

Swalwell was considered the frontrunner for the Democrats, followed by billionaire Tom Steyer and Katie Porter both of whom are extreme left.  Steyer has loudly called for the elimination of ICE and prosecution of its employees as well as open borders while Porter’s gross mistreatment of employees and abusive nature are well documented.  In other words, they’d have trouble winning, even in California.  On the GOP side, are Steve Hilton and Sheriff Chad Bianco.  Hilton has been endorsed by President Trump.

Not only is Swalwell’s political career over, but he is facing possible criminal charges in New York City as well as countless civil suits.  His alleged “best friend”, Arizona’s Senator Ruben Gallego, has denied any knowledge of Swalwell’s sexual activities which is ludicrous.  A video clip of Swalwell in a hotel room with a hooker and another man has appeared.  While there is only a side view of the other man on the bed with them, it clearly could be Gallego.

History tells us that the chances of Republicans losing the mid-term election are good.  For decades, this has been the case; however, this one could be an exception.  Despite the corruption of the legacy media, Trump’s successes during this term are evident, even to the left.  Should the Republicans lose you can rest assured that the 25^th Amendment will come into play.

Paco       

Well, Musk has done it!  We now have astronauts hovering around the moon for the first time in decades.  I must admit that I’m impressed!  One thing puzzles me though.  Both genders are participating in extremely close quarters and one would think that personal hygiene such as washing and using the toilet would be an issue.  They’ll be up there for days.  With no gravity, does poop hover in the air?

Trump’s war objectives continue to be somewhat productive although Iran ignores  deadlines continually.  We’ll see if the latest receives the same attention which would result in the loss of its infrastructure.  You would think that, at some point, the Iranian people would finally rise up and overthrow the current radicals.  I’m extremely disappointed that our European allies are hiding in the closet and I would definitely support a divorce from NATO.

Meanwhile, the legacy media continues to thwart the president’s agenda with falsehoods regarding his health and ability to perform his duties despite the fact that he outpaces those around him on four hours of sleep a night.  The 25^th Amendment is often brought up as a solution to the “problem”.  His efforts at humor are dismissed as dementia or worse.  He has accomplished more in a single year than any previous individual in that capacity has in an entire term and he is still ridiculed by the left.

While consuming the news, a couple of stories have concerned me.  Hundreds of retail outlets are closing including many very well-known brands.  Estimates indicate that the number could reach 1500 outlets before the year ends.  Many are fast food outlets; however, major retail brands are also trimming down.  Among them are: Starbucks 627 locations, Walgreens 450, Family Dollar 370. Macys 66, Kroger 60 and Kohls 27.

There are a multitude of reasons why this is occurring.  On-line shopping is a major reason, but there are others.  Delivery services have increased and commercial real estate rental fees have skyrocketed.  Staffing in many areas is also a problem.  Foot traffic has diminished,  leaving malls struggling.

My other concern is far more troubling.  Violence against children.  Children are our most valuable asset and I have difficulty accepting the suffering many endure at the hands of adults . . . some their own parents!  I recently read an article concerning the arrest of parents for the murder of their two-year-old daughter.

Our children have been victimized by society for the past several decades.  Their education has been divisive to say the least, in many cases separating parent from child, as with the gender issue.  Children are and should be asexual and not questioned as to whether they are male or female.  “Readin’, Writin’ and Rithmatic” have taken a back seat to DUI.

A related concern is the dropping fertility rate in the country.  Currently, it is about 53 births per thousand women of reproductive age, a drop of twenty percent (20%) from just two decades ago!  For one reason or another, women are  not choosing to reproduce.  Those who do are waiting until age thirty to do so.  One of the more obscure concerns is social security.  Fewer young Americans will be available to pay into a system which supports seventy million retirees and others.             

As I compose this masterpiece, a two week cease fire agreement has taken place in the Iran war.  One of the conditions is the free passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.  Candidly, I don’t have very high hopes that the attempt will be successful.  The Iranian people have no access to free press and must depend upon Iranian propaganda which is deceiving.  They are being told that Iran is winning.

The 250^th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence is just a few months away.  Several of my ancestors participated and some lost their lives.  I’m afraid that the current political divisiveness will affect the celebration in a negative way and hope that I am wrong.

We are indeed the greatest country on earth.

Just when I think I’ve seen it all, the left pulls another moronic stunt.  Streets are filled with protesters screaming “No Kings”!  All are wearing face masks while demanding that ICE agents remove theirs.  One is shown scribbling Kill your local ICE agent on a nearby wall!  As usual, I find myself wondering . . . don’t these people have jobs?

The answer is, of course, yes; they are now performing those jobs.  Leftist billionaires have established “companies” which maintain groups of professional “protesters” who appear when and where needed as well as supplying posters and signs demeaning the current issue.  George Soros name is frequently mentioned as well as a billionaire American citizen, Neville Roy Singham, currently living in China.

The No Kings protests are particularly amusing for me.  They graphically display the low intelligence quotient of the left.  Do they honestly believe that, were Donald Trump king, he would allow the protests to take place?  Wouldn’t he dissolve Congress and declare himself sole ruler?

Speaking of dumbness, there is, as I understand it, a quiet contest taking place to determine the identity of the dumbest Democrat in Congress.  The current top contender is Eric Swalwell, but my money is on Maxine Waters who, at eighty-seven years of age, is re-running in her district.  Swalwell, currently considering a run for California governor, is best remembered for allegedly playing a game of Hide the Hillshires with Fang Fang, a possible Chinese communist agent.

Swalwell is rather upset because FBI Director Kash Patel is considering re-opening an investigation into Swalwell’s relationship with Fang Fang a decade ago.  Like all Democrats, he is alleging that it is “lawfare”, using the law to punish for political gain, a practice the Democrats are well acquainted with and have often used against their adversaries.

My usual readers are aware of my distain for most members of Congress, both on the left and the right.  I defy you to identify one who has been a member for a decade or more who is not a millionaire.  Nancy Pissoli comes to mind.  Hackmee Jeffries, avid Trump hater, two million plus.  Upchuck Schumer, who has been in Congress since Trump was a teenager?  Eighty-five million!  What’s worse?  Most are ambulance chasers.

I bring this up because I have it on fairly good authority that another esteemed member is being targeted to be expelled from Congress.  His name?  Adam Shit . . . er . . .Schiff.  He is best remembered for his efforts to push the so-called “Steele Dossier” during Donald Trump’s first run for office.  Oh, and he’s a lawyer.  I’m not very hopeful that this will occur . . .

The Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments regarding birthright citizenship and the Fourteenth Amendment.  Currently, the left is arguing that any infant born in the country is automatically a United States citizen regardless of parental status.  In 2023 300,000 infants were born here whose parents were not citizens.  This amounts to about eight percent of all children born that year.

Hospice fraud is once again in the news.  As I’m sure you are aware, Trump assigned Vice President Vance to head up investigations into fraud in the medical arena.  I’ve previously mentioned the situation in California and dozens of arrests have taken place in the past few days and American taxpayers have suffered countless billions of dollars of their hard-earned money fraudulently disappearing.

I recently read an article which I found both fascinating and disturbing.  During wartime, we instituted the draft to boost military forces.  Individuals called up to serve were required to pass a rather stringent physical examination.  The article concluded that seventy-seven percent (77%) of potential current draftees would be unable to pass the physical!

Patriotism is indeed on life support if not already deceased.

The “Shut Down” has been going on for about five weeks.  Dozens of TSA employees have been forced to resign their positions due to the fact that they haven’t received a paycheck and President Trump has been compelled to bring in ICE officers to assist with endless lines of passengers waiting to board a flight.

The overwhelming majority of the blame for this fiasco is the Democrat Party; however, there a number of Republican senators who wish to remain anonymous (big surprise) who are opposed to reopening the government for reasons I can’t begin to fathom.  Meanwhile, all on both sides are receiving their paychecks. 

Efforts are being made by the president to expose those names.  Senator John Thune, the GOP leader,  is not being very helpful.  Efforts on the left to deter ICE activities created the shutdown in the first place and the irony is that ICE agents are receiving their paychecks due to previous funding!

Additional efforts are directed to deter passing the Save America Act which, among other things, would require identification to register to vote and produce same at the voting booth.  Chuck refers to it as the “Jim Crow, No!” bill.  Ironically, polls show that eighty-plus percent of the voting public supports secure voting and this includes seventy-plus percent of Democrats!

As you are probably aware, President Trump has called upon ICE to assist TSA at major airports and is threatening to call out the National Guard as well.  I cannot imagine standing in line for hours to board a flight.  I sincerely hope that these individuals remember which party is the cause in November . . .

I can’t begin to comprehend the level of hatred the left has for Donald Trump.  His numerous accomplishments are all but ignored by the legacy media while his shortcomings receive spotlight attention.  His attempts at humor are treated as if he was serious.  Speculations concerning his health abound while Biden’s were ignored or denied.  The man is nearly eighty years old and much younger companions have difficulty keeping up with him!

I will never understand the so-called “legacy media” and its distain for the current administration.  Recently, Apple published an article lauding Gays for Palestine which reached 125 million viewers.  Gays for Palestine?  Do these idiots realize that homosexuality is forbidden in Islam and the punishment is being thrown off the roof of a building?  I presume that many in this group are females who ignore the fact that women have no rights in an Islamic regime and can be murdered at the whim of a male for the slightest infraction? 

In my opinion, Islam is not a religious faith; it is an ideology.  As I’ve mentioned previously, it has already made significant inroads in every European country and is making the same effort here.  The mayor of New York City is an excellent example.  Much of the massive Medicare and Medicaid fraud taking place across  the country can be traced back to Islamic members.  I am not implying that all Islamists are involved because that would be false.  Many faithful would more than likely be disgusted with those who are involved.

Enough of that.  I recently read a very touching article involving an elderly woman who called the local lumber company begging for wood shavings for her fireplace because she couldn’t afford to purchase firewood.  The company owner then appeared with a pickup filled with firewood and when he saw the conditions under which she was living, he took it upon himself to gather a group of volunteers who then went about repairing her home which included a hole in her roof and plumbing issues.  He continued to look in on her periodically to make sure she was okay.

It’s sad that only negative events receive publicity.  The world is filled with wonderful people who do wonderful things for others without expecting praise for their efforts.  I’d like to think that, at some point in the future, they will be recognized and rewarded.

Paco    

I certainly hope so; however, I’m not sure.  The Commonwealth of Virginia’s Legislature recently passed a law severely limiting the possession, purchase and use of firearms referred to as assault weapons without proper licensing.  It is expected to be signed into law by Governor Spanberger, a radical liberal.

The term “assault weapon” is bandied about: however, a definition of such a weapon is vague.  In fact, if used in an aggressive manner, isn’t a .22 caliber pistol an assault weapon?  The impression that getting rid of firearms will get rid of crime is . . . well . . . moronic.  Criminals will not rid themselves of weapons and criminal activity regardless of the motive.  Chances are that crime will increase when the criminal is assured that his victim is unarmed.

In fact, blanket bans on firearms is unconstitutional!  The Founding Fathers rightfully expressed concerns about such a concept and included the Second Amendment out of fear that future leaders would do just that to control the population.  “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a Free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”   It sounds to me like the Fathers had it right . . .

It may surprise you, but I have concerns about laws restricting concealed weapons.  There is nothing in the Second Amendment mandating that arms must be openly carried.  The fact that a weapon was concealed should only come into play if a crime is committed.  A permit should not be required.  Let’s assume that a citizen uses his concealed weapon to prevent a vicious crime.  Should that citizen then be charged with carrying a concealed weapon?

I don’t envision average citizens carrying a weapon concealed unless they have a reason and, if that is the case, shouldn’t they have a right to defend themselves? 

Do laws like the one mentioned in Virginia save America?  The answer is a resounding no!  Efforts like Save America do.  I find it incomprehensible that the concept of election integrity faces such strong opposition on the part of leftist congressional leaders Chuckie and Hakeem.  This is especially true considering the fact that an overwhelming majority of voters approve the concept.  Included in that majority are Democrats and Independents.  The fact that non-citizens  should be excluded is obvious.

And when we are facing a very dangerous time, Chuckie and Hakeem see fit to oppose refunding the Department of Homeland Security at a time when it is so essential to the safety of Americans.  I am convinced that a good percentage of Democrats disagree with their leaders and that could come to light during the midterm election.

Trump recently appointed Vice President Vance to direct investigations into fraud activity,  primarily in the medical realm.  Hospice fraud is running rampant.  Doctor OZ recently visited Los Angeles because of reports by investigators and discovered 1800 hospices within a three square mile radius!  There were 89 in a single building, all billing your tax money.  Of course, none contained any patients.  Word has it that the Russian mafia is behind it. 

As I’ve indicated previously, fraud is rampant in federal government programs and has been totally ignored by previous administrations.  I believe the American people will be stunned when they discover the extent of the fraud.  Not only stunned, but extremely angry.

Is it me or are we having some pretty unusual weather activity this spring?  Tornadoes are everywhere and destruction is immense.  One was recorded at 150 miles per hour with six-inch hail!  The Midwest was particularly hard hit.  Fires resulting from strong winds in Nebraska have devastated hundreds of thousands of acres resulting at least one death.

And the SAVE Act legislation remains stalled in the Senate primarily because John Thune cannot rally significant Republican votes to get it passed and to the president’s signature.  Leftists aren’t the only problem . . .

Paco     

This past  weekend was a tremendous surprise . . .  to me at least.  It was probably a bigger one for the Ayatollah and his motley crew.  It was a long time coming for the number one sponsor of terrorism in the world.  He had recently murdered thousands of his own citizens who were protesting his regime.  Forty-eight leaders were wiped out simultaneously and I find it hard to believe that they gathered in one location knowing that an attack was eminent.     

It tickles me that our liberal females are protesting Trump’s action.  In present day Iran, women have absolutely no rights; they are equivalent to family pets.  Shots of Iranian women ripping off their burkas and cheering in the streets can be seen on numerous news bits.  Ladies, do a little research before you shoot your mouths off.

Of course, most liberals are up in arms, insisting that Trump acted illegally and demanding Congressional action.  He was well within his legal obligations as was President Obama when he conducted a strike in Iraq many years before; however, the left saw no problem with that effort.  The Gang of Eight was properly notified as is the case when such action is taken.

While all of this is going on, the left has seen fit to defund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at a time when the security of American citizens is at its highest risk.  It is evident that, with Biden’s open-door policy, thousands of Iranians were allowed to enter the country illegally during his term and many are members of numerous “sleeper cells”.  It is logical to assume that these cells could engage in terrorist activity in retaliation for the attack on Iran and the loss of their leader. 

And while the war activity has pretty much captured the news, Nancy Gughrie remains missing despite offerings of a million dollars for her return.  Candidly, I find it difficult to accept that the 84-year-old is still with us and that someone hasn’t come forward to collect any ransom amount.  I can’t help but think that the entire investigation was mishandled.

And Minnesota Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison are facing Congressional inquiries into the massive fraud scandal in that state and not responding very well to queries by committee members.  I don’t think there is any doubt as to their involvement in the massive scam.  The thing I can’t begin to understand is that, had Harris been elected, the governor would be our current vice president!

I’ve just learned that Trump’s Cabinet has suffered its first loss.  Kristi Noem was terminated by the president effective March 31^st apparently over testimony she gave in a Congressional hearing.  I don’t believe she will be the last.  Pam Bondi is also a target of the left as is Pete Hegseth.  The left will do anything to sabotage this administration. 

I want to shift to a topic I find deeply concerning and that is the perceived increase in “road rage” incidents.  The last thing anyone should do is climb behind the wheel angry.  Reports of people being injured and even killed as a result of road rage seem endless.  I can’t emphasize strongly enough that, should you find yourself in such a situation, do not respond in like and dial 911 if you can.  I can guarantee that you won’t be the only potential victim.

Except for those of you living in Arizona, don’t forget to set those clocks ahead on Saturday night.
