Caracas on the Potomac...

I was just thinking back to a simpler, far gentler, more enjoyable time.

Yes, fellow Patriots, I was just ruminating upon a time in the not-so-distant past when you could hop on a plane and go to Washington, D.C. for a nice little vacation.  Once there you could wander around, visiting our Great Country's national monuments with abandon.  Up and down the National Mall, in and out of the various buildings containing all our Family Heirlooms.  And I mean really visit them.  You could get up close and personal with the White House, for instance, and the Capitol Building, and the Treasury Department.  

In fact, I recall a visit I took to the Capitol some years ago.  I was alone, wandering around, just taking in all the history,  which as you know I love, and found a stairway just off Statuary Hall.  It was located off the main hallway, sort of tucked away, covered over by a curtain.  It looked interesting.  It looked like I shouldn't go there, so I decided to go there; to look behind the curtain and explore.  

I found myself in an upstairs hallway where all the Senators have their offices.  Being from Missouri, the "Show Me State," and having traveled and worked in Kansas extensively by that time, I decided to try and find my friend then-Senator Bob Dole's office.  I knew Bob from my many business trips to Russell, Kansas, his hometown.  I found his office, went in and looked around.  Nobody home.  Not even a secretary.  I left a short handwritten note for Bob and left.  End of story.

Exceppppt, I was just thinking that had this same scenario happened on January 6th, 2021, I'm pretty sure I'd be a criminal and most likely in jail by now.

Or shot and killed.  With no explanation from the authorities.  Like the poor woman from San Diego.  An Air Force veteran, shot in the neck by a cop.  Which cop?  We don't know.  The authorities haven't told us.  And seemingly won't.  And without any explanation to us, the citizens, so far.

I'd kind of like to know why Ashli Babbitt was killed during this "armed insurrection," wouldn't you?  And I'd like to know why they're calling it an "armed insurrection" when the only shot fired was by a cop...into the neck of Ashli Babbitt.  And aren't you kind of wondering why our vaunted "MainStreamMedia" isn't asking these same questions?

How do you have an "armed insurrection" if nobody's armed?  And why would you call it that unless you have an agenda?

If I can ask questions a journalist should be asking, why aren't journalists?  Unless, of course, they've all been compromised by their political biases.  And they're not really journalists anymore.  Just political hacks, scurrying around for favors from well-positioned, elected cronies.  

Now?  Good luck on seeing the Capitol and any other significant National Monuments.  They're wrapped in razor wire up to a height of 10 feet!  They're ensconced in all sorts of stuff to keep you and me, the Taxpayers who pay for it all, out.  As in, OUT!  Why?  No one knows.  There's been no explanation given!  We are left to guess, and my guess is that Nancy Pelosi, who as Speaker of the House controls the Capitol building and grounds, keeps them there to protect her and her fellow socialists.  Clearly, while America hasn't been paying attention, Pelosi and her sycophants have turned Washington, D.C. into Pyongyang.

That's in North Korea, doncha' know.

My own supposition is that they, the Democrats, have given up on trying to sell us their their warped vision of America.  They've decided that now, when they're in charge of everything, they're just going to use their power to pass all sorts of Left-wing legislation while they can.  Because they can.    

A Point to Ponder:  There are more armed American soldiers in Washington, D.C. now, today, then in Baghdad.  Or Afghanistan.  Combined.  Some 7,600 American National Guard soldiers are standing guard over the Capitol Building today, right now.  And sleeping in parking garages.  Guarding against what?  Nobody seems to know.  However, they've cost us, you and me, the American taxpayers, at least $500 Million Dollars so far, and are expected to remain in D.C. for several months to come.

Like I said, Caracas on the Potomac.  I think the crooks in charge in Caracas are doing everything they can to disguise the fact they're socialists, while Pelosi and her socialists are  doing everything she can to prove to prove to us that they are.

Just a closing thought:  The Democrats are surrounding themselves with walls and protecting themselves with guns...while they're telling us we don't need guns and walls.  Do they think we're actually buying this bullsh*t?
