What an odd literary concept, don’t you think?  Why would anyone publish an account before determining whether it is in fact accurate?  It’s a query leftist media ignore on a regular basis . . . and to be fair, conservative media occasionally as well. 

Unfortunately, we live in a society where truth no longer matters and appearance does.  Recently, coward Luigi Mangione, who shot a stranger in the back as he was walking to a conference, had a federal charge dropped while those outside gathered to celebrate his good fortune!  He still faces murder charges; however, is seen as a martyr to his supporters.  Since the act took place in liberal New York City, he’ll probably be acquitted by a leftist jury.

Speaking of inaccurate publishing, Kamala is in the process of publishing her rather hilarious biographical account of her efforts to gain the presidency.  Her first choice for running mate was none other than former transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg!  If you recall, Pete accomplished absolutely nothing while in office except to fly everywhere . . . everywhere, that is, except the horrific train derailment in eastern Ohio which devastated the state. 

Kamala felt that the public would have difficulty voting for a black woman and gay white man.  Gee . . . do you think?  Instead, she decided on an idiot with a fixation on tampons and a filthy mouth.  She also alleged that her husband, a Jew, received threats from the right based on his faith.  I’m told she’s also badmouthing just about every Democrat including Biden.  I don’t have any plans to buy it.

The left certainly has its panties in a bunch over the Jimmy Kimmel fiasco!  Of course, Trump is taking the heat rather than Disney which owns ABC.  No one mentions the fact that his show has lost about fifty percent of its audience and it was costing Disney forty million dollars a year to keep it going . . . and paying him fifteen million annually to spend time being unfunny and abrasive.  Apparently, offensive comments concerning Charlie Kirk’s assassination were the “straw that broke the camel’s back”.

Negative comments from the left immediately appeared spewing hate directed at an individual they knew nothing about.  Eric Swalwell took time out from groping  a female Chinese spy to demean someone with more character in his little finger than Swallow . . . well . . . has in his entire body.  Californians have a habit of selecting the worst individuals to represent them.  Do you agree?  Let’s see . . . we have many to keep Swalwell company: Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Gavin Newsom, Mike Levin, Darrell Issa, Dave Min and Adam Schiff . . .  Oh, how could we possibly forget Kamala Harris?

Kash Patel’s FBI is in the process of locating evidence involving a concerted and organized effort to ambush Donald Trump’s 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns.  Several federal law enforcement agencies actively participated in the effort.  The infamous Mar-A-Lago raid was part of that effort as was Russian collusion.  The project even had its own title . . . Artic Frost. 

The First Amendment has again taken the limelight following Kimmel’s late-night demise.  What comprises “free speech” you may ask?  How does free speech differ from hate speech?  What exactly were the Founder’s intentions regarding public comment?  If you make a public speech and are then sued successfully for thousands of dollars, was that speech free?  If you make statements offensive to others and are assaulted . . .?  Personally, the concept of “free speech” is an enigma to me and I have no idea what the Founders intended.

Speaking of definitions, I’ve got a beaut!  Jasmine Crockett, an attorney and Texas representative, recently stated that if someone commits a crime, that doesn’t mean he’s a criminal!  Excuse me?  The implication as I see it is that a starving person who steals food should not be charged.  Soooo, if I rob a bank to pay a ransom demand to save a relative’s life, I should not be charged with a crime? 

So, am I practicing free speech if tell Jasmine that she’s an idiot?  It would be difficult for her to retaliate since I can verify it.

I came home from shopping to discover that another disgusting assassination had been committed.  Charlie Kirk, thirty-one, was shot while conducting one of his on-campus sessions in Utah!  He leaves behind a loving wife and two small children.  I’ve wondered for some time whether our magnificent nation is on its way to hell; I’m becoming convinced that we are already there and the devil is running things.  Luckily, he’s been apprehended. 

Then, a twenty-three-year-old Ukrainian refugee climbs aboard a rail transport after a long shift, and sits to text her boyfriend.  While she is engaged in that activity, a passenger sitting behind her suddenly rises, withdraws a knife and stabs her in the neck and walks away dripping blood.  Passengers seated around her witness the attack and make no effort to assist.  Instead, they stand and move away!  Finally, one young man does attempt to stop her from bleeding without success.  Meanwhile, the killer exits the train car without a single passenger attempting to take notice.

The killer was subsequently arrested and it was learned that he had an extensive criminal record, including sexual assault of a child under thirteen years of age and numerous other crimes and had been released fourteen-odd times by liberal prosecutors and judges!  Now a lovely immigrant who had fled Ukraine for what she believed was safety here wound up being murdered.

And parent-child abuse has reared its ugly head.  I’ve recently read numerous accounts which have left me stunned.  Children are civilization’s greatest asset and without them it ceases to exist; yet we abort millions every year.  To abuse the remainder by the very individuals designated to protect them defies the definition of sanity.  Example: A father severely beats his five-year-old son (which included biting him sever times) before throwing him down a flight of stairs!  He then tells responding law enforcement that the boy fell; however, forensic evidence and the testimony of a sister to the boy reveal the truth and he’s charged with murder.

An exception, you say?  A woman is observed throwing a bundle into a dumpster before walking quickly away.  Thankfully, the observer hears noise coming from the dumpster and calls police and a three-month-old infant is found in the discarded bundle! 

A police officer finds a three-year-old female sitting between cars in the parking lot of a department store late in the evening.  When he gently questions the child, she tearfully replies that her mother doesn’t want her anymore and has left her there!

Police enter a home as a result of an alert and find several children of various ages handcuffed to their beds by their parents!  Subsequent questioning reveals that food and hygiene have been sporadically withheld as punishment for minor infractions.  There are also signs of physical abuse.

And I am starting to see an element of paganism appearing in our daily lives in the form of wokeness.  Pagans believe in multi-deism rather than a single God as with Christianity.  It thrived in ancient times prior to the rise of organized religion in the Fourth Century.  Commonly accepted beliefs such as the fact that there are only two human genders are disputed; hence transgenderism.

Speaking of the trans movement . . . it has been revealed that Kirk’s assassin was living with a trans individual and that he often spouted anti-Kirk rhetoric at family gatherings.  He was subsequently turned over to authorities by members of his family and the roommate is also cooperating.  The governor of Utah has stated emphatically that he will seek the death penalty if the state is chosen to handle the trial.  At this point, that is undecided and he may face federal prosecution instead.  Oh, and Utah’s penalty calls for death by public firing squad! 

The level of hate coming from the left is beyond comprehension.  One liberal journalist has been fired for his comments and Erika Kirk’s televised message has initiated hundreds of applications for new Turning Point sites and it is obvious that his coalition will only grow;

Greetings!  I certainly hope your week was as good as mine. My granddaughter . . . my only grandchild . . . came up from Phoenix to visit for a few days and we had a great time.  I hadn’t seen her in person for several years (it’s a long story) and it was just a thrill to hold her.  She is beautiful and a real pleasure to be around and I miss her already.  We made tentative plans for her to come every few months in the future until such time that I bid the devil a cheerful hello.

We didn’t do much except enjoy each other’s company.  The only exception was a trip to Grand Island where DeeDee and I lived for several years, much of the time I was on the police force there.  I got to show her where we were living when her mother was born and we also visited with very close friends, Connie and Dennis Osterman.  Denny and I served on the PD together.

Unfortunately, the day ended with me taking a fall when we got home, winding up in the emergency room!  I was so exhausted when we got home that I wasn’t sure I could make it to my apartment, and shortly thereafter I did fall.  Luckily, there were no significant injuries other than scrapes and bruises, and I returned home the same night.  I’m still sore in places, but otherwise feel fine.

Obviously, I had no real opportunity to view much news while Samantha was here.  I did watch some of the torment RFK Jr. faced in his congressional hearing.  The left is going crazy over the possibility that Big Farma is not going to be making a fortune over doubtful child vaccines.  He’s being accused of endangering children’s lives!  This from those who support abortion, planned parenthood, gender transitioning and communist indoctrination!

On to other things:  Tuesday marks the 24^th anniversary of 9-11.  As I’ve indicated previously, the event affected me greatly.  I hope you don’t mind me re-living it.  I flew to New York on August 29, 2001 to attend a conference with federal law enforcement.  As we approached, we flew over the Statue of Liberty and up the East River to land at La Guardia I glanced at the Towers, not giving them much thought.  Two weeks later, I was sitting in my office when an employee rushed in to announce that one of them had been hit by a plane! 

Twenty-odd minutes later, the other tower was struck!   I visualized the Towers I had seen just two weeks before and it was difficult for me to believe they were gone.  Then, of course, came the Pentagon and the crash in Pennsylvania, when heroic passengers raided the cockpit and forced the crash.  Three thousand people died that day and it would have been a much larger total had the passengers not been successful.

Several months later, I returned for another conference.  This time, I was on the opposite side in the aircraft so I couldn’t see the damage from the air.  I was taken into Manhattan by an elderly Jew driving NYC’s version of Uber.  As we chatted, he told me that he was born and raised in Gaza and at that time, Muslims and Jews co-habited the same neighborhood and that he had been close to a Muslim living next door!  The neighbors traded house keys with each other when one was going out of town.

After checking in, I took the subway down to Ground Zero, but high walls guarded by NYPD officers preventing anyone from using the stairs. I sweet-talked a female officer in letting me climb the stairs; however, there wasn’t much to see except construction equipment and devastation.

Later that evening I was eating supper with a Secret Service agent and his wife, both Jews.  She told me that on 911 she was taking a cab downtown for a doctor’s appointment, and when the announcement was made, the taxi driver, obviously Muslim, turned and smiled at her.  She made him pull over and let her out. 

Years later, we returned while on vacation and again visited the site as well as other points of interest, too numerous to mention.  For all of you drivers out there, you haven’t experienced vehicle operation until you’ve driven on the streets of Manhattan!  Take my word for it.

I think we can all agree that there has been an Amazing Change in the District of Columbia and the left is furious.  I went into some detail in previous blogs concerning my visits there half a century ago.  I’m a history buff and Washington DC is the place to go to immerse one’s self in historical events.  I walked around freely,  and safely, enjoying all that there was to see without being accosted in any fashion.

As I read about the DC of today, I couldn’t help reminiscing.  The city now has the highest murder rate in the country, even surpassing several foreign cities with criminal histories!  Carjackings are so common that authorities had given up keeping statistics.  Sexual assaults and robberies have reached the point where victims don’t take time to report them.  In other words, a leftist society.

All crime has dropped significantly since Trump declared war on Washington’s streets and he has announced, much to the chagrin of the left, that other sanctuary cities will be subjected.  Chicago has been mentioned, as well as Los Angeles and New York City.  Incidentally, the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, has a six percent (6%) approval rating among voters.  Governor J. B. Pritzker, owner of the Hyatt Hotel chain, is considering a presidential run in twenty-eight if he can stay away from  every Dairy Queen.

It is my understanding that the Democrat fugitives have returned to Texas; however the GOP gerrymandering bill is set to pass and be signed by Governor Greg Abbott.  Gerrymandering, of course, determines which party will serve in Congress and districts are controlled by state government.  It probably should be re-named Gerry rigging.  Illinois is a classic example.  For a laugh, check its congressional districts.

I’m certain that you are aware of the accident in Florida where an eighteen-wheeler was attempting an illegal U-turn causing several deaths.  The operator was an illegal alien in possession of a valid commercial vehicle license issued in California.  He could neither speak nor read English, indicating that he was unable to read road signs!

How could this individual be able to pass requirements allowing him to freely operate an eighteen-wheeler on the nation’s roads?  It is my understanding that this is not an isolated incident for California and that there are dozens if not more illegals with questionable commercial licenses on our roads every day!  Now, picture finding yourself in Germany illegally and attempting to obtain an operator’s license while unable to speak or read German.  Silly?  What’s the difference?  Obviously, the German official might mutter “fichi dich” if he could stop laughing.

This is the primary lesson which the left continues to ignore and I believe it to be intentional: In order for a society to exist, it must have rules which must be followed or there will be repercussions.  With them, rules are there to be broken and rules only apply to conservatives.  Gerrymandering comes to mind . . .

I recently read about a very disturbing incident which made me extremely angry.  A single father wanted to go away for a week so he locked his eight-year-old son in the garage with no food or water and no facilities!  A neighbor, I believe, became concerned and called the police.  They found the boy in soiled clothing and dehydrated among other things.  The child had no idea where his father was and was placed in a childcare facility.  When the father came home he was, of course,  immediately arrested.

Now, I have no idea what his punishment would be, but if I had my way he would be placed in a room for twenty minutes containing fathers with baseball bats, after which, if he survives, he would then be placed in a locked garage with no food, water or toilet facilities for one week.  Our most prized possessions are our children and they must be loved and protectedfrom all possible harm.

Lastly, a more humorous incident made me chuckle.  A woman was stopped by police for driving 74 mph in a 35-mph zone.  When asked by the officers where she was going, she indicated that she was on her way to court . . . to pay a previous speeding ticket!

Paco               

The events of the past few days have been stunning to say the very least!  The Democrat Party is on life support and its supporters are clustered around the bedside squabbling over whose fault it is. 

Washington, DC has become a quagmire of crime.  Its murder rate is higher than many of the so-called “dangerous cities” here and abroad.  Contrary to popular belief, it has been listed a dangerous one throughout history, particularly during and after the Civil War and in the 1960’s and 1900’s.  Donald Trump’s decision to return responsibility for governing the city to Congress has been met with resistance by the left; however, many of the city’s residents are thankful.

While statistics indicate that crime is down considerably, there is alleged evidence that local police officials intentionally doctored those stats.  Car theft is out of sight, for example, but crime statistics have apparently ignored them.  Much of the criminal activity is perpetrated by younger teens who freely roam the streets day and night, causing havoc while authorities apparently look the other way.

Trump has placed numerous federal authorities as well as National Guard on the streets and it will be interesting to observe the effect of said placements.  I was bit surprised to learn that the district already has 3,200 police officers!   One would think that would be sufficient for an area that size.

Of course, much of the criminal activity is drug-related and I’m told that said deals take place openly in public areas.  Of course, this crime generates other criminal acts.  I recently watched several videos of DC residents who were thrilled with what Trump has initiated and support him completely.  One grandmother recalled seeing a three-year-old boy out on the streets after dark!

I think the big news is Pam Bondi’s appointing an attorney general to preside over evidence which would be presented to a grand jury if one is called.  Others have indicated that grand juries will indeed be held regarding the Russia Gate fiasco.  FBI Director Kash Patel’s recovery of numerous “burn bags” containing incriminating criminal activity on the part of several high-level Obama personnel is disturbing news, especially for those involved in the scheme.

Among those allegedly named:  Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, Eric Swallwell, James Comey, John Brennan and Jake Clapper among others.  Obama’s name has even come up.  Candidly, the chances for jail time on any is doubtful; however, it is certainly warranted.  A great deal would depend on the jurisdiction the jury would take place.  Florida would be ideal and is a viable option.

ICE personnel continue to be harassed.  The “sanctuary city” concept is insane at the very least.  Officials are protecting illegals who, in turn, are victimizing their legal residents.  One horrific example is a young mother who was killed when an illegal alien driving while impaired crossed over and struck her car head-on.  This individual had been arrested seven times for various crimes and released every time! He had also illegally entered the country on several occasions, a federal felony offense. 

Things are changing, though very slowly.  Recently, a man who was harassing ICE officials threw a subway sandwich, striking an officer and then ran.  While before, the officer would have taken the assault and done nothing, this time he and his team chased the man down and arrested him for assaulting a federal officer, a felony!  He was also fired from his federal job!

New York Attorney General Letitia James and Senator Adam Schiff are also under investigation for fraudulent home loans issues.  Both declared homes outside their jurisdictional areas as their primary residence.  Both are claiming revenge as being the reason for the action.  James ran for her position based on a promise to “get Trump” and was, obviously, unsuccessful.  Adam Schiff is probably the worst member of Congress and I will never comprehend the fact that Californians promoted him to Senator!

Lastly, in 1992, a member of Congress stood and ranted for some time about the violence and crime in the District of Columbia being out of control and something must be done immediately!  That Congressman?  Joseph R. Biden!

Paco     

An interesting question . . .  We seem to have today is a great deal of the former and little of the latter.  Recently, Democrat legislators fled Texas to avoid approving a bill by the governor to alter voting districts which would have given Republicans more seats in the house.  Where did they flee? Why, to the two states which are well known for gerrymandering; Illinois and New York!

Illinois Governor Pritzker, a billionaire, is well-known for his skill at the practice.  He welcomed the Texas hypocrites with open arms . . . and a huge belly . . . listing them as heroes.  I guess that the governor has issued or is going to issue arrest warrants if they don’t return.  That will be interesting . . .

And, of course, the Second Amendment continues to come under fire as attempts to disarm the Republic remain high on the Democratic list of mandates.  I find it interesting that the Founders actually refused to the concept of a “standing military army” due to the way England used the concept to control the populous. 

A classic example was that colonists were required to house soldiers stationed in the colonies at no expense to the Crown. Our Constitution specifically forbids it.   The Founders felt that armed colonists could resolve any issues which may arise and an army wasn’t needed.  Their right to “keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” . . . and the Second Amendment was born.  Again, as always, an unarmed populace is necessary to control  and control ensures power! 

And the Democrat Party appears to be out of control.  The situation in New York City is frightful.  It is difficult to comprehend a socialist/communist individual winning the Democrat nomination by such a large margin.  I think much of the blame goes to the quality of education young people are receiving in today’s public school system.  For reasons I cannot accept, they actually believe everything is free: transportation is a classic example.  The cost of public utilities in a city the size of New York is somewhere in the mid-seven figures or more.  Who will foot the bill?  The rich?  Oh, the billionaires will be long gone!  

And the phonies have come out supporting the mayoral candidate.  Elizabeth Pocahantas Warren enthusiastically praised Mamdani’s efforts to establish a socialist/communist government in the country’s largest city, indicating that it was about time.  She was quickly followed by “socialist” Bernie Sanders, both being first class hypocrites.  Both are multi-millionaires with Warren’s estate valued at about 82 million and Sander’s a piddly 4 million.  Oh, and Pocahantas annual income is estimated to be five million dollars!

The MAGA movement has recently targeted Washington, D.C., which has become one of the most dangerous cities in the country.  It has reached the point where residents avoid going out at night.  City government is highly liberal and law enforcement weak.  Many arrested for crimes are simply turned loose without further action.

Until 1973, the city was governed  and controlled by Congress and had no local entity.  The Home Rule Act established mayoral and city council; however, Congress reserved certain control rights.  Recently, due to conditions within the district, some are considering abolishing the local government and returning full control to Congress.  As you can imagine, this was not well received by the left.

The Epstein fiasco keeps appearing in the news as does the Biden investigation.  Subpoenas are being issued left and right.  Prominent names include the Clintons although I doubt they’ll actually appear.  A new investigation has begun into the  efforts of Nancy Pelosi and others to get very rich using confidential material to their advantage with investments.  I’m stunned!  Sweet little Nancy a criminal?  No way . . .

Lastly, gerrymandering is receiving a great deal of publicity with the Texas Democrats fleeing the state to avoid the approval of new districting.  Governor Abbott is threatening to issue arrest warrants if they don’t return.  This is something that has been going on for decades with Democrats being the primary offenders.  It’s nice to see Texas  and others going red.

Paco

Things are really heating up . . . and I’m not talking about the weather.  The current target is the 2016 election and the alleged efforts on the part of the Obama Administration to affect the election results in Hillary Clinton’s favor.  The president has gone so far as to openly accuse Barack Obama of treason.  Records recently released by the Director of Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, indicate efforts on the part of the left to disrupt Trump’s campaign as well as his post-election term.

It is fairly obvious that the combined efforts of several individuals to create Russia Gate could not have occurred without the knowledge and consent of then President Obama.  A  team is being established to investigate these events and possibly bring criminal charges if warranted; however, the statute of limitations will have to be considered.

Did Obama, Brennan, Comey, among others, commit treason?  It is apparent that a conspiracy to obstruct the government certainly took place, but could they be charged?  In my opinion, it is highly doubtful, particularly Barack Obama.  Can you imagine Jim Comey serving time with perhaps dozens of convicts whom he put there?  And John Brennan can’t tell the truth and would be unable to dispute his handwritten notes concerning the Steele Dossiear and Russian Collusion.

Information concerning Hillary Clinton’s involvement has also been established.  I’m sure you are surprised.  Incidents regarding her physical and mental condition.  Apparently, her behavior is erratic to say the least.  She is prone to irrational outbursts and fits of rage according to the released documents.  Footage of her being assisted into a vehicle following an event certainly indicates a problem.

If there is any humor regarding these events, it’s that the Russians wanted Hillary to be president!  The last thing they desired was Trump in power because they could not control him and they had enough goods on Hillary and could easily manipulate  her.  In fact, some believe that she initiated the Russian collusion to conceal her own illegal email problems.

 Treason is an act which should receive the most investigative attention; however, it is difficult to prove.  Several acts in the Biden administration bordered on treason.  Throwing open our southern border and allowing millions of illegals to enter was, in my opinion, a treasonous act.  And how about his staff who concealed his cognitive issues and made decisions for him allegedly using the autopen?  And Biden himself for that matter, although that would be nearly impossible.

And the circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death are back in the news.   Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the files were on her desk and would be released at some point.  That didn’t occur and the press went wild, implying that they were concealed to protect the president.  Both FBI directors, Patal and Bongino have stated publicly that suicide was his cause of death. 

Still, there are numerous inconsistencies that have no explanation.  The missing minute on surveillance cameras just before midnight, for example.  Authorities stated that it was a routine glitch that occurred every night; however recovered footage disputed that.  That night he was escorted to the shower by a female guard who stated that she did not escort him back.  Surveillance shows her doing just that.

While he was in the shower area he made an unauthorized telephone call and the party he called is allegedly unknown.  Because he had previously threatened to commit suicide, policy required him to have a cellmate.  Said cellmate was removed two days before his death without explanation.  And what about those mandatory thirty-minute rounds which did not occur?

Candidly, I don’t believe we will ever know.  Epstein’s friendships with numerous very rich and powerful individuals may become one of those historic mysteries.  His cohort, Ghislaine Maxwell, is currently being questioned by federal authorities and it will be interesting to learn what, if anything, she reveals.

Paco  

And the steamroller keeps rolling.  Personally, I believe that Jeffrey Epstein has done as much damage after his death than he managed to do alive.  Candidly, I believe that it is old news and that we should move on to much more important current issues.  The objective is, of course, is to involve the president in Epstein’s shoddy lifestyle. 

Let’s assume for a fleeting moment that Donald Trump did visit the notorious island.  He and Epstein were acquainted so it is very possible; however, that doesn’t tie him to illegal sexual activity while there.  And if there was proof that the president engaged in such activity, don’t you think that the Biden Criminal Corporation would have used it to damage his presidential run?  Also, keep in mind that Trump banned Epstein from Mar a Lago for sexual advances he was making toward the child of another guest.

Please do not think that I am treating this activity lightly.  I firmly believe that anyone who entices a child for sex should be sentenced to life in prison, but only after having their reproductive organs surgically removed by a physician.

On to other things.  As I compose this blog, Donald Trump is celebrating his first sixth months in office.  His accomplishments are staggering, fully achieving most of his campaign promises.  Meanwhile, the approval rating for the Democrat Party has plunged to an historic low of thirty percent!  (Please note that I wrote Democrat party and not Democratic Party.)  They are as far from being democratic as I am being a socialist.

Speaking of socialism, we are all aware of New York City’s democrat/socialist mayoral candidate, Mamdani’s stunning victory.  I was surprised to note that the top candidate for Minneapolis mayor, Omar Fateh, is also a Muslim socialist!  Are we seeing a fundamental change in American big city politics?  Nothing could be more concerning for me.  Socialism and capitalism are at opposite ends of the spectrum.  In a socialist society there is no private ownership; everything belongs to the people.

The late-night entertainment industry took a hit when Stephen Colbert was told that his show would end in May of next year.  Colbert, whose prime objective was to continually bash Donald Trump, was advised by CBS that the show was too expensive due to a lack of sponsors and that viewership was dropping.  Getting rid of news celebrities is occurring media-wide as I’m sure you’ve noticed.  In the case of Colbert, his salary for dissing Trump?  One point five million dollars per month!

Another thing which concerns me is the number of name brand stores closing nation-wide . . . and several have declared bankruptcy.  On-line shopping entities like Amazon have had a tremendous effect on profits.  I use it quite often and enjoy the fact that it will be delivered in a couple of days.  I guess I’m just lazy.

More important is the illegal deportation.  As I’ve indicated previously, I will never comprehend the “sanctuary city” concept.  The fact that administrators are exposing their constituents to criminal activity of all kinds defies sanity.  They make an issue of ICE officers invading in large groups when the reason they do so is because of a lack of cooperation.  Instead, they warn illegals who go into hiding, thereby compelling ICE to act on its own.  With local cooperation, ICE could locate subjects and quietly arrest offenders.

Speaking of ICE, assaults are up over eight hundred percent.  The left is using A1 to target agents and their families with threats once the agent is identified and that’s the reason for the masks.  An off-duty ICE officer was recently shot during an alleged robbery attempt.  He returned fire and survived.

Lastly, the 1916 presidential election is back in the news.  Evidence has been found indicating that the left intentionally falsified the so-called Russian collusion hoax and an investigation may be conducted by the Attorney General’s office.  The evidence names those who allegedly participated: James Comey, Hillary Clinton, John Brennon . . . and Barack Obama, who has already responded to claims of treason.  Hmmmm . . .

Paco            

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?

“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.
