ARE YOU MY FRIEND?

Candidly, I’m not certain what the objective of this piece is.  Maybe I just want to gripe.  Several recent events have caused me to question the sanity of our current existence. The cops are now the bad guys and the criminals are protected from justice.  I wonder how the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, would react if her daughter or granddaughter were raped, murdered and chopped up by someone who is illegally in the country?  And isn’t this the same mayor who was out of the country while her city was on fire not that long ago?

And can you believe the flood . . .probably not a good analogy right now . . . of lawsuits in the media.  I recently read an article concerning a suit against the Sig Sauer weapons company.  A widow is suing, stating that the gun killed her husband!  We’ll probably see one soon against the Ford Motor Company because the car caused the death.  As I’ve mentioned previously, our justice system is in critical condition; however, the Ambulance Chasing Lawyers United are in excellent spirits.

And the weather has been crazy.  The flood in Texas killed a more than a hundred, many of them children.  The Carolinas and New Mexico were also hard hit.  I just read about a monsoon in the Phoenix area where we once lived.  A scooter operator provided video of the damage there, although it’s too soon to determine injuries.  I’ve always been skeptical.  I often wonder if climate change is real . . .

And, measles are back, the largest outbreak since 1994 has over seven hundred cases already reported.  The primary region is the southwest with numerous incidents in Texas and New Mexico; however, several other states are also making reports.  Children are the primary target.  The medical world is flummoxed.  Here’s a thought; is it possible that the fact that our southern border was fully open for years may have contributed to the outbreak?  Nah, it’s probably Trump’s fault . . .

I think I’ve brought this concern up previously that thousands of acres of our farmland are owned by . . . the Chinese!  Is it just a coincidence that these properties are located near our restricted military facilities?  No one seemed particularly concerned during the last administration.  What do you suppose the response would be if an American were to approach a Chinese Consulate and attempt to purchase a thousand acres of Chinese farmland near one of their military bases?  The Biden Administration’s relationship with China is worrisome at the very least.

And our old friend, Jeffrey Epstein is back like a case of VD.  The question of whether there is a “list” is confusing to say the least.  As you know. Pam Bondi indicated that the list was on her desk which got her in deep doodoo  before she retracted. Both Trump and the FBI were very angry.  Deputy Director Dan Bongino has stated that he will resign if Bondi isn’t fired.  Candidly, I would be surprised if she lasts out this term, although Trump speaks highly of her.

Elon Musk continues his rant.  From what I’ve been able to determine, I think he has a bunch of busted toys in the attic.  Close associates say that he is unpredictable and often switches sides on an issue.  The fracas with President Trump is typical Musk. 

This is also the anniversary of the attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania and the media has questions yet to  be answered.  I’m not certain they ever will be.  The Secret Service is catching most of the heat and probably should be.  As most of you know, I had a business relationship with the Secret Service for many years and found them to be excellent and capable investigators. 

I cannot comprehend how twenty-year-old Thomas Crooks was able to accomplish what he did despite the fact that numerous shouts from the spectators that “a man was on the roof”.  He was also previously seen in possession of a range finder and acting suspiciously by law enforcement!  And Crooks’ body was cremated very shortly afterward despite the ongoing investigation.  Just doesn’t sit well . . .

What do you think?

LISTEN MY CHILDREN . . .

“and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.”  Bring back memories?  It certainly does for me.  Of course, Paul never actually made the ride, and he certainly didn’t shout, “The British are coming!  At that time, all colonists considered themselves “British”.  I often wonder what those same colonists would think if they could observe those “colonies” today . . .

I was born and raised in one of those original thirteen colonies and have ancestors who fought. . . and some died . . . in the Revolutionary War.  I think it sparked my later love for history.  Someone once wrote that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.  Nothing could be truer.

I’ve been watching the current confrontation over men’s participation in women’s sports and wholeheartedly support President Trump in his efforts to prevent such activity.  I have no problem with gender transition in adults; however, said transition should not be used to disadvantage the opposite sex.

Most are not aware that, at the time of the revolution, women had absolutely no rights.  Their place was in the kitchen.  It would be another hundred forty-odd years before females could enter a voting booth, let alone hold public office.  Today, they must fight to save their sports programs and maintain equality in the workplace.  No one believed that a woman would one day become Vice President of the United States.

Birthright citizenship is once again at the front of the news cycle.  Leftist loons like Hakeem Jeffries and Jamie Raskin insist that the Constitution states that “any person born or naturalized” in the country is automatically an American citizen.  It implies that a child born here whether it be illegal alien or someone just visiting the country while on vacation is automatically an American citizen.  They fail to read the entire passage which includes the conveniently missing third mandate which reads: “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”.  Neither visitors nor illegals are citizens, and are not subject to jurisdiction . . . i.e. citizenship.  The Founders  had no intention of allowing otherwise.

The primary purpose of the Constitution was to create a check on constitutional power.  Experiencing the danger of an all-powerful central government which they were leaving, the Founders attempted to quell the very Deep State that we find ourselves in today. 

The Bill of Rights has been devastated by political interference.  Freedom of speech only applies if the party in power approves it.  The right to bear arms has become “you don’t have a right to own guns . . . even to protect yourself and your family.  “Guns kill people!”  As anyone with an IQ of thirty will immediately reply; is that “People kill people.”  A weapon is simply a tool.  The individual who plowed into a parade killing several marchers had no problem fulfilling his insane desire.  How about the freak who, lacking a firearm, uses a hatchet!  Should we ban hatchets and automobiles along with guns?

The simple truth is this: unarmed people are much more easily to control.  The Founders were well aware of this fact and deliberately made an effort to prevent an unarmed society.  It goes without saying that the Left strongly agrees with the king of England.  Their contempt for the Constitution is scary.  Power and control are the only things that matter.  If a conservative politician is suspected of a crime, every effort will be made to imprison him.  Donald Trump is a classic example.  If a liberal is suspected, the charges disappear.  Hunter Biden comes to mind.

The Founders were well aware that their document would require alterations from time to time and allowed the possibility of amendments.  This has occurred twenty-plus times since they completed their project, the first ten being the Bill of Rights which the left has repeated on numerous occasions.  Amendments one and two get the most abuse; however, they are not alone.  Example:  Amendment 8.

In closing, my heart goes out to the families who lost relatives in the Texas flood.  The image of the two deceased sisters found holding hands will stay with me for some time.  Those who risked their lives rescuing survivors ought to be especially commended.  It is a catastrophe that will not be forgotten for some time to come.  And thanks to the left media who  quickly determined the cause of the flood.  “it’s Trump’s fault.

WHAT COUNTRY AM I IN?

It’s like I’ve awakened after a long sleep to find myself in a world totally strange to me.  As I look around, my surroundings are unrecognizable and I begin to panic.  Where are the familiar landmarks such as sanity in politics?

In this new world, a former rapper and devout communist has won the democrat nomination for mayor of the nation’s largest city.  He ran on the following agenda: minimum wage to be thirty dollars and hour by 2030, freezing rents, free childcare for children for five years after birth, free bus and subway fares, city-owned grocery stores . . .  Well, you get the idea. 

And how does he plan to support his agenda?  Why, tax the rich, of course.  He doesn’t realize that all of the rich will be gone by then.  He has also pledged to arrest the Israeli prime minister if he ever comes to the city and to support pro-Palestine activity!  In my country, the thought of supporting a communist leader would be heartily laughed at.

Back home, the borders were secure and those here unlawfully would be immediately deported.  Now, illegal immigrants rape, murder and steal and those efforts are supported and even defended.  Law enforcement attempting to arrest and deport this scum are assaulted, up 4,000 percent from a year ago!  They are castigated for wearing masks to conceal their identity because family members have been threatened.  Yet, they have no problem with rioters destroying cities wearing masks.  The stupidity would be humorous under other circumstances.

Back home, the judges were treated with respect and politics had no place in the process. The judicial system here is totally corrupt.  “Judge shopping” is routine.  The objective is to find a known liberal judge and transfer criminal trials to that jurisdiction regardless of where the alleged crime occurred.  Federal district judges are issuing opinions which affect the entire nation rather than their specific jurisdiction.  Example:  Rescinding presidential directives regarding deportation.  So much for “innocent until proven guilty”;  now, it’s the other way around.

To a certain extent, I blame ultra-liberal law schools that push socialism and turn out individuals totally biased to “practice law”.  The concept of law is essential in any organized society.  Without it pandemonium reigns.  Classic examples are the current situations in Los Angeles  and other major cities where liberal leaders do not support law enforcement.

And how about our news media?  It is no longer news; instead, it is opinion!  This is true on both sides of political isle; however, the left is much more vocal.  Viewers are abandoning classic sites and relying more on social media.  Joe Rogan is incredibly popular as was Dan Bongino before he joined the FBI.  Political candidates are eager to be interviewed by podcasters.  Donald Trump is no exception.

During this composition an event occurred which greatly angered me.  Two firefighters in Idaho were shot and killed by a sniper while responding to a fire call.  Another is hospitalized with serious injuries resulting from the same attack and his situation is tenuous.  It is presumed that the sniper intentionally started the fire to  target his victims before committing suicide!

I can’t, nor will I ever, begin to comprehend the insanity required to commit this type of horrendous act.  The investigative side of me demands to know . . .why?  What was the motive?  We’ll probably never know the reason because the sniper killed himself.  Was one of the firefighters a target while the others were just incidental?  I doubt it because he’d have no way of knowing who would respond. 

Did he give any thought to the families of those killed and injured?  Dumb question, right?  If his original intent was to commit suicide, why take others?  Further investigation may discover the motive.  The sniper’s recent activity and behavior as well as interviews with family members could shed light on the motive if, indeed there was one.

It is imperative that we do everything to protect those who protect us.

DON’T GET JUGGED!

An interesting title, don’t you think?    The term “jugging” refers to a type of crime which is gaining notoriety due to its increased activity.  I can’t begin to speculate how the term came to be although someone mentioned that it is a play on the word mugging.

Juggers prey on people who are using ATM’s to get cash or entering banks for the same purpose.  They wait until the victims are well away from the cash source and then attack and rob them.  As is the case with much criminal activity, juggers seek the most vulnerable individuals; in this case the elderly.  The reason for waiting to rob until the victim is at another location is to conceal the fact that the bank/ATM was an integral part of the crime.  The police report will likely indicate the location of the report unless the victim mentions the cash withdrawal.  Get the picture?

These crimes began in Texas and quickly spread to other states.  The FBI is warning people to be aware of their surroundings when accessing cash and to avoid ATM’s located in isolated locations or at closed banks.  Example:  Pulling into an ATM or bank location and seeing a vehicle backed into a parking place with individuals just sitting inside should set off an alarm.  When leaving a location, keep an eye on your rearview mirror to determine if you are possibly being followed. 

Actually, it is important to always be aware of what is going on around you.  We, as humans, are inclined to preoccupation with personal issues, especially we older folks.  We leave the  grocery store looking at the ground and stewing about the cost of the items purchased, totally unaware of activity in our vicinity and we become victims. 

As you know, Kash Patel is the new director of the FBI.  He wrote a book a couple of years ago titled Government Gangsters which I am currently reading and it is a fascinating and revealing work.  Of course, at the time of the writing ha had no idea that he would eventually be in a position to deal with the corruption which sickened him.  I do believe that most Americans would be stunned to learn the level of corruption in the Swamp. 

While I was composing this masterpiece, President Trump fulfilled his promise to crush Iran’s nuclear capability, bombing three nuclear sites there.  The operation went off without a hitch and we were gone before they knew we were there.  This followed numerous demands from the president to shut down Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities in which refusal was the response each time.  Iran had claimed that its enrichment efforts were for peaceful purposes; however, the level of enrichment already in progress far exceeded that which peaceful efforts require and this has been verified although I’m not sure how.

The world’s response to Operation Midnight Hammer was as expected.  Our left immediately began chanting “impeachment” while our opponents accused us of starting World War III.  Interestingly, many of Iran’s Islamic neighbors were strangely quiet.  Lebanon’s Hezbollah is an example.

Most Americans do not realize the fact that there are hundreds of Islamic “sleeper cells” inside our borders and my concern is possible retaliatory attacks from within, both to our food and water supplies as well as civilian casualties. 

Things are moving more quickly than I can type.  Supposedly, a cease fire agreement between the two warring countries was made; however, I’ve heard rumors that both have violated it.  Iran also fired missiles at a large US military base in Qatar; however there were no casualties or injuries reported.

Perhaps the most unsettling event regarding the Iran attack is the reaction of some Republicans to Trump’s decision to bomb Iran.  Alleged staunch Trump supporters have criticized the act, among them Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lindsay Graham, Tucker Carlson. 

Also, Trump  is attending the NATO Summit in the Netherlands.  A longstanding issue is funding.  Other European members have not been paying their fair share and he has threatened to leave unless they step up.

Finally, have you tired of the Iran rant “Death to America”.  I think we should counter that with our own rant “Death from America.

FROM THE HALLS OF MONTEZUMA

It would appear that things are getting out of hand in Los Angeles.  Trump has ordered 700 marines to deploy to the city to assist the National Guard in quelling the “protests” occurring there.  This was met with fury on the part of California’s Governor Newson and Los Angeles Mayor Bass who maintain that the activity is “peaceful” despite obvious evidence otherwise.  A couple of doozies!

After doing some research, it became obvious to me that these “protests” are well funded by Soros connected groups such as CHIRLA, the Open Society Foundation and also the Tide Foundation.  CHIRLA also has close ties with the Democrat Party and it is common knowledge that the majority of so-called protesters are being paid for their efforts.  Video clips of the LA riots reveal protesters receiving masks, signs and other items from a supply vehicle located in the crowds!

The ICE raids are occurring across the country.  Recently, ICE conducted a raid here in Omaha where several individuals were removed from a meatpacking plant resulting in a couple hundred protesters gathering outside.  South Omaha is comprised of a significant Mexican-speaking population and even legal immigrants are allegedly fearful of being accidentally deported.

As I begin this masterpiece, it would appear that this coming weekend will, or could be, an eventful one.  Israel attacked Iran killing several Iranian leaders while attempting to destroy that country’s nuclear facilities.  The Trump administration was quick to deny any participation and warned Iran that any effort to harm our military personnel in the area would result in conflict.

The “ICE Crackers” are active in many cities and the upcoming Big Beautiful Parade will certainly be a target.  Said parade honors the 250th anniversary of the creation of our army and is also President Trump’s 79th birthday and will be held on Saturday, the 14th.  Protesters will also be celebrating “No Kings Day” an obvious slam against Trump.  I’m not really familiar with that particular group; however, there is a growing movement in Great Britian to dissolve the royal family which may have prompted the “no kings” mantra here.

I’m sure you’ve heard that a new clown has been added to the caste of Democrat Dip Wads.  On Thursday, June 12th, Homeland Security’s director, Kristi Noem, was giving a press conference when a man burst into the room shouting questions and approaching the podium.  He was immediately detained and taken from the room.  Later outside, he tearfully told the media that he had attempted to ask a simple question and was forcefully taken from the press conference.  He stated that he was not “detained”, but was handcuffed.

It turned out that the “man” was U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA).  Until this incident, no one knew who Padilla was.  He was dressed in street clothing and strongly resisted those restraining him and, according to those individuals, he was not wearing the pin identifying him as a senator!  He, of course, was welcomed into the club by its members: Pocahantas Edwards, Pencil Neck Schiff, Fang Fang Swalwell, Fatty Pritzker, Tampon Tim, Abandon Johnson, Absolutely Onerous Creature and others too numerous to mention.

The big parade in D.C. is scheduled to begin shortly and I guess protesters are out in force.  It celebrates the army’s 250th birth as well as Flag Day.  It is also Trump’s 79th birthday and the “No King’s Day” signs will be plentiful.  It is still difficult for me to comprehend the hatred the left has for this man.

A rather bizarre event made the news today.  Two Minnesota state legislators were shot and one was killed in two separate instances earlier today.  Melissa Hortman, top Democrat in the legislature and her husband Mark were both killed and John Hoffman and his wife were injured at a different location by a man dressed as a policeman and driving what appeared to be a marked police car!  The suspect fled and was later identified as Vance Boelter who is currently on the run after exchanging gunfire with the police.

In retrospect, the Army Day Parade went off without a great deal of intervention, much to the relief of many.  It lasted several hours and depicted soldiers dressed in period uniforms and the crowd seemed to enjoy it.  Trump stood and saluted each passing segment.  It brought back memories of my service in Germany sixty-odd years ago, a period which would change my life forever.

Happy Father’s Day!

WHERE IS MY AUTOPEN?

Can you hear Joe Biden asking?  Probably not.  We are, in my opinion, entering an investigation into the most corrupt administration in the history of this country.  I have some grave concerns regarding who will be in charge of that investigation.  Can government agencies investigate government agencies? 

I was a bit surprised to learn that autopens are not new to the White House.  Trump has one!  They have been used in the past to sign authorized documents when the president was away from the White House and wants the document released immediately.  When this occurs, later verification by the president to the validity of said document is entered.

In the Biden White House, however, documents were “auto penned” while he was present in the White House and there is no later verification!  The only document which appears to be signed by Biden himself is the pardon of his son, Hunter and the signature is very shaky.  Who processed those other documents?  As I’ve indicated previously, only an investigation could possibly determine this and then Biden’s cognitive condition could hamper the results.

A recent Supreme Court decision is interesting.  Mexico filed suit against American Gun Manufacturers alleging that they were liable for crimes committed by cartels in that country!  Had said cartels not been provided with firearms from the United States, less crimes would  have occurred.  It goes without saying that the Court voted unanimously to block the suit.  Let’s assume that I murder a man with my car.  Using that analogy, General Motors could be held liable for my actions because I used one of its cars to commit a crime!

At the top of the news list is the sudden feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk!  There had been rumors of contention between Musk and several of Trump’s aides; however, I don’t think anyone would have anticipated the result.  I certainly wouldn’t have.  Musk went all out on the attack using X to claim, among other things, Trump’s affiliation with the Jeffrey Epstein files.  Trump and Epstein knew one another; however, there is absolutely no evidence that the president was involved in any Epstein “activities”.  In fact, Trump banned him from Mar-a-Lago  for expressing an interest in a minor child of one of his aides.    

The cause of the rift was The Big Beautiful Bill which allegedly cancelled some Tesla rebates on EV’s.  He described it as “outrageous and pork filled” . . . odd as he contributed to it.

Musk is well known for his outspoken tweets on X addressing such topics as transgenderism  and so-called white supremacy. At latest count, he is the father of thirteen children with one on the way, and he is, of course, the richest man on earth.  It will be interesting to see where this feud will eventually end.

Of much more concern are the attacks on ICE agents which, according to statistics, are up 400%!  Trump was compelled to call in the National Guard as a result of the current attacks occurring in Los Angeles, California.  The attacks have resulted in ICE agents having to mask themselves to protect their identity because they fear for family members who may come under assault simply because they are family members. 

Prominent Democrats are demanding that ICE agents be compelled to remove all masks, drawing analogies to Nazi Stormtroopers and other oppressive organizations, and that concealing their identities is somehow undemocratic.  These are the same people who demanded that all citizens wear masks during the Covid era.  And they certainly had no issue with rioters wearing masks while destroying cities in the summer of 2020.

Do the elected officials in these sanctuary cities comprehend the fact that the efforts of ICE were implemented to protect their citizens from the ravages of those who are in the country because their president opened the border to all who are raping robbing and murdering them?  And are these same citizens comfortable with the policy of protecting their attackers?

The Democrat Party is in serious trouble. It is my understanding that young males are deserting the party in droves and it is those same males who could affect change in that party and bring it back to some semblance of sanity.  One of those young males might have become the leader which Democrats desperately need.

IS IT JUNE YET?

May  has been an eventful month, both from a personal and newsworthy perspective.  Personally, it was spent in the hospital on a couple of occasions dealing with pneumonia and a couple of other issues; however, I’m doing quite well and pretty much back to normal.

On a more important front, the Biden Administration is continuing to make the top headlines.  “Investigation demands” are being heard up and down the Capitol hallways and the objectives are members of the White House back offices where it would appear that all major decisions were actually being made.  There is even talk of subpoenaing Jill Biden.  I disagree, however.  No spouse should be compelled to testify against the other in a criminal proceeding; however, I guess I’m in the minority on that issue.

As for the others, if it is determined that they used the infamous autopen to sign documents allegedly signed by the president, there should be prison time . . . and a bunch of it.  It would be an extremely difficult investigation to convict and the obvious plan would be to turn one against the others with a promise of leniency or outright clemency.

Meanwhile, the powder keg referred to as the Democrat Party continues to smolder.  Their advocacy for individuals in the country illegally who are harming constituents defies logic.  Senator Van Hollen’s escapades outside the country while defending an MS-13 gang member were followed by others with deep concerns for this poor wronged individual . . . who beats his wife!  I must presume that Van Hollen’s constituents back home approve?

And then there is La Monica McIver, a New Jersey US Democrat congresswoman, who assaulted a officer who denied her access to a secured facility housing illegals.  She was, of course, arrested and you probably heard the left screaming.  It is a crime to assault a law enforcement official!  McIver, of course, considers herself above the lowly masses as did the judge who assisted the escape of an illegal from ICE during a court process.

Another very disturbing situation has arisen regarding the Department of Health and Human Services.  One function of HHS is the National Human Trafficking Hotline.  The operation of that entity was placed in a non-profit entity, Polaris Project.  Whistleblowers have alleged that Polaris has not been notifying law enforcement regarding calls on missing children!  This is in the early stages of investigation and we’ll have to be patient.  My one weakness is children and even the thought of one being mistreated infuriates me.

I’m only speculating, but I don’t believe that the Musk departure from DOGE was an amiable one despite news to the contrary.  It was obvious to friends that Musk was not happy with the Big Beautiful Bill and the proposed increase in the debt limit.  Other prominent GOPers have agreed.  Candidly and personally, I believe he {Trump} is attempting to solve too many issues too quickly and Musk just threw up his hands and left.  I guess we’ll see . . .

And another radical leftie is rising to prominence as a possible 2028 presidential candidate.  Jasmine Crokett {D-TX} is the current media celebrity.  You won’t find it amazing that she is an avid Trump hater whose criminal activity, she feels,  exceeds that of the Biden family. 

Her personal life is pretty much a mystery.  Crockett is her maiden name; however, she’s also listed as being married and having children.  She has a law degree, which should explain everything, and was the subject of an FEC complaint accusing her of violating federal campaign finance laws.  She is known for making controversial statements and embarrassing behavior.

Among other things, Crockett has pledged that if the left wins in 2026, and she becomes Chairperson of the House Oversight Committee, she will immediately begin impeachment proceedings against Trump for his “criminal activity”.  She will also initiate a criminal investigation of DOGE activities, specifically targeting Elon Musk.

June has finally arrived and wicked May is now behind us; however, its first few days are filled with violence and the prognosis doesn’t look good.  I had so hoped that things would change . . .

Paco     

IT’S ALL COMING OUT

The Biden Administration is facing expanding scrutiny as time moves on.  While his cognitive abilities have been in question for some time, the severity is expanding as new evidence comes to light.  At the top of the list is the use of an autopen signature device and whether it was used to sign dozens of documents, including pardons, rather than the president’s actual signature.  If that is the case, than who might have used it without Biden’s knowledge . . . or with it?

Rumor has it that three White House staffers would have had access to the “pen” and all three are former Obama staffers.  How valid would any of those documents be if they could have been forged.  Obviously, Joseph Biden wouldn’t have the capability to verify whether he signed them.  This is possibly the most egregious presidential scandal in the history of the country.

Imagine the dozens pf “pardons” allegedly issued by the president which would be invalid if signed by someone else using an autopen, or the hundreds of executive orders which President Biden was supposed to have signed, but didn’t!  Example: he allegedly was against open borders according to close friends; yet millions entered illegally . . . 

I have absolutely no personal doubt that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.   That would certainly explain why two incompetent individuals were chosen to lead the country by the left.  And I am reasonably certain that attempts were made to rig the 2024 as well; however, Biden’s effort at debate with Trump could not be explained away and they were stuck with Kamala.  Despite billions poured into her campaign, she was no match for Donald Trump and the attempts to “rig” fell apart.  The American people had finally been given a chance to speak.

 I don’t believe that I will ever understand the level of hatred directed at President Trump or, for that matter, invading our society.  I’m sure you are aware of the young Jewish couple who were assassinated in Washington, D.C. by a nutcase screaming to save Palestine a day or so ago.  They were deeply in love and planning a trip to Israel for an official engagement announcement with parents when they were killed.  The killer was originally thought to be a bystander due to his behavior because he was screaming for help.

Let’s presume for a moment that two strangers are seated side by side while on a flight.  They begin to chat and realize that they have a great deal in common and soon they are laughing at one another’s jokes and enjoying the company.  Then one individual lets it slip that he is a Jew and the compatibility becomes strained.

And as I’ve mentioned previously, the left is having fits concerning Trump allowing white South African farmers to legally enter the country.  LaMonica McIver, a New Jersey delegate in Congress, attempted to enter a closed area housing illegals and wound up being charged for assaulting a law enforcement officer!  She claimed that her position allowed her to enter said facility and the officer obstructed her.

How do these lefties get elected?  AOC and Bernie are flouncing around the country flying first class and pushing socialism and anti-Trump rhetoric while Senator Van Hollen flies to El Salvadore to comfort an MS-13 member who has a criminal record a yard long to include mistreating his wife!  And Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson brags about how he hires only black individuals for his team.  Pencil Neck couldn’t tell the truth to save his life and Californians promoted him to U S Senator!  And then there is Eric Swalwell with his pension for all things Chinese . . .

Now, compare that to the Trump Administration which is operating like  a well-oiled  machine to accomplish the goals established by the president to restore sanity to the Republic.  There is no comparison.  Trump promised to achieve certain goals and he is doing his very best to honor that promise.  And he’s not doing it for money or fame.  He already has both.  He has survived two known attempts on his life . . . and who knows how many others!  He could be living in a luxurious retirement instead of putting his life on the line; however, he loves the country which was so good to him and chooses to endeavor to save it.

And, as I complete this issue, the FBI is in bit of a hassle with the MAGA crowd.  Their investigations into the cocaine incident at the White House and the January 6th pipe bomb fiasco are deemed by some to be “old news”.  Assistant Director Bongino has vowed to solve both for years.  Apparently, some MAGA lowlifes don’t want them solved either.  Hmmmm . . . .

I’M BACK . . . SORTA

It’s been a tough couple of weeks.  Two multi-day hospitalizations have been quite an experience  Suffice to say, I’m better; however, I’ve still got a ways to go until my next marathon.

Enough of that.  So much has happened since my last effort to communicate.  Our president has accomplished so much that it is difficult for me to attempt to comment on those successes.  This is especially true with his efforts in the Middle East where he was received like a returning hero by large crowds and government officials.  Air Force One was escorted by that nation’s fighter jets as it landed at each airfield and The Beast was surrounded by lavish escorts such as horsemen in full parade gear.

Initially, I wondered why he would venture to such hostile territories considering previous attempts on his life.  I would think that the Secret Service agents would be overwhelmed facing such odds.  As of this writing, he is safely home again . . . not that he is all that safe here, unfortunately.

I’m sure you are all aware of the recent Comey escapade.  Now that he is out of a job, he was allegedly strolling the beach when he discovered a group of seashells spelling out 8647.  Now, the term “86” has long been used in in the military and other fields such as law enforcement and means destroy or get rid of.   And “47” denotes our current president.  During another stroll on the beach, he also observed shells spelling out Vote Harris!  Both were photographed and then recorded to his website.

Comey has stated that he did not knowthe meaning of the term 86 and has since deleted the files.  He is currently engaged in a discussion with the Secret Service; however, I have serious doubts that anything will come of it. 

Contrary to popular belief, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is not held in high esteem by other law enforcement entities.  There is an old joke which goes something like this:  If you give information to an FBI agent, and then call back later asking for the same information you gave, you will be denied access! 

The FBI has long been a political machine despite its claims otherwise.  From his initial appointment in 1924 to his death in 1972, Hoover played the patsy to the White House as director.  Subsequent directors have followed suit right down to Comey and  I sincerely hope the trend ends with Kash Patel.

And wouldn’t you know that the Left has its unmentionables all in a twist over the administration allowing white farmers from South Africa to enter the country with their families?  This, despite the fact that they were fleeing for their lives because the current administration was confiscating their farmland, leaving them nowhere to go.  Had they been anything but white . . .

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this previously.  The black individuals of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries who were purchased by the English and brought to America to work in the fields were already slaves of their masters before being purchased!  The reason for said “purchases” is clear: England was demanding more and more cotton for its clothing manufacturers in England and the American farmer couldn’t acquire sufficient workers in their fields to comply.

The same holds true of the hundreds of Scottish males rounded up by the king and forced to come as “indentured servants”.  The only difference between indentured servitude and slavery was that the servants were eventually freed.  My ancestors were among them.

Finally, the new Pope Leo XIV appeared to snub Vice President Vance following his inaugural mass by briefly shaking his hand before turning away.  This isn’t terribly surprising since Father Robert Prevost has been vocally critical of the Trump Administrations immigration policies for some time, and it would appear that Catholicism has another liberal pope.

In spite of all the above, I am exceptionally enthusiastic about the direction our country is taking with Donald Trump in charge.  The Democrat Party is in  state of shambles and it will take some time to recover . . . if ever.  It can only sit back and try to figure out what happened to its socialist agenda.

THEY ARE ALL JUMPING IN

I’ve heard rumors that the Democrat Party is considering a name change.  Please note that I used the proper name, Democrat rather than the Democratic PartyThe last thing they want is a democracy and the last four years have proven such beyond a doubt.  However you refer to it, the party is currently on life support.

It’s big problem is that it has no dynamic leader; no JFK, Bill Clinton or Barack Obama to coalesce the party.  Possibles like AOC and Bernie Sanders, now crossing the country in private planes, drawing crowds have absolutely no chance of becoming leader.  The same is true of Kamala Harris, thankfully.

Another individual who has tossed his hat into the pile is none other than Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker, who throws a lot of weight, pun intended,  behind his candidacy . . . and not much else.  An inherited billionaire, Pritzker’s family owns the Hyatt Hotel chain, he has been involved in equity projects and it is not surprising that he has a law degree.

He is also committed to Illinois’s sanctuary status and recently gave a speech comparing the Trump Administration with the rise of Nazism in Germany, calling Trump Hitler.  He is angry with his own party, blaming them for the loss of 2024 and calling for what amounts to national violence, if necessary, uprising.  An example of his character follows:  he once decided to purchase a luxury home near his, selling for 6.5 million dollars.  Deciding it was to much, he had all the toilets in the house removed, thereby reducing its value to 1.1 million!  Thankfully, it came back to bite him.

And Rachel Madcow is back in the news.  Because her ratings were down 54%, she was compelled to take a reduction is salary from . . . get this . . . thirty million dollars to twenty-five million dollars a year!  And this is for one show a week!  If you divide twenty-five million by 52, it will give you some idea of her weekly salary.  I’m sure she and her girlfriend, Susan, will have to bite the bullet in order to keep their heads above water.

And how about those Demo-rat politicians who flew to El Salvador to rescue poor Abrego Garcia who was deported to that country unlawfully by the Trump Crime Family.  What the left won’t tell you is that they stayed at the luxurious five-star Hilton Hotel in San Salvador (owned by the previously mentioned Illinois governor) in $250-per-night suites!  And sipped expensive martinis on the terrace.  Whom do you think paid the bill? 

These saviors also deny that Garcia is a member of MS-13, even though its tattoo appears on his knuckles.  He is an “innocent Maryland family man illegally deported”.  They also conveniently leave out the fact that he was previously charged with trafficking illegal aliens and accused of beating his wife on numerous occasions among other things. When he was stopped for trafficking illegals, local law enforcement contacted the FBI who responded by telling them to let them go!

Now, if I was to illegally enter another country, Japan for example, do you think I would have a legal right to stay pending some sort of action on the part of the Japanese courts?  Personally, I have grave doubts there would be   Garcia entered the United States illegally which is, in and of itself, a crime.  And while here, he committed other crimes.  The only sane solution?  If not jail . . . deportation; otherwise known as due process.

And the claims by the leftist loonies that children of illegals born in the United States are citizens of this country?  According to the United States Constitution, and I quote:  All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state where they reside.  Illegals have no “jurisdiction” and, therefore, no citizenship.  Is that so difficult to comprehend?

Finally, President Trump has announced that he will not run for a third term.  He would be well into his eighties and I can personally testify that it is a good decision.  On the other hand, Kamala is now considering it.  Eligibility for a new pope ceases at age eighty and I think it should also apply to all politicians!
