"Billy Beer"

Way back when, then-Prez Jimmy Carter had a (in)famous brother named Billy.  

He was a "goodolboy" who hung out around the only filling station back home in Plains, GA.  And Billy was also something of a beer lover.  Lots of beer.  Morning, noon and night.  Every day.  And because his brother was now famous, and had network TV cameras following him into every liquor store, he decided to cash in on the America dream.  He was gonna' introduce his own brand of beer.  And so we were subjected to...

                         "Billy Beer!"

Yes, fellow Patriots, it's true.  Unfortunately.  So, I guess you can figure out that Billy Beer didn't last all that long.  Billy Carter was sent to dry out and Jimmy was sent packing by Ronnie Reagan.

Flash forward to present:

We now have a "Swamp Creature" in the White House.  A Swamp Creature who's only real job has been the Senate.  Since he was 29 years old.  If that's a job.  Followed by carrying Barack's briefcase for 8 years (that's why I've awarded him an honorary "O"), and then a couple of years as an Avatar for the man behind the TelePrompTer.  With a son who's even worse that good ol' Joe.  Joe's son Hunter is a piece of work.  Here's his "Cliff Notes" version:

Hunter entered the U. S. Navy following law school.  Having never matched up to his older brother Beau, Hunter decided to hide his inadequacies in a crack pipe.  And other narcotics and booze and whores when he could find them.  

When found out, he was summarily discharged from the Navy.  With a Bad Conduct discharge.  That's not a good thing.  Fewer than 3% of military inductees share this dishonor.  A BCD would keep a normal citizen from work at any Government agency.  Including any Agency that does bizz with the Gubmint.  Including as a lawyer.  

Except for his own law firm.  Pimping for his father.  The "Big Guy," as he's come to be known.  The Guy who gets 10% for just being Joe Biden.  And he's made $millions letting his crooked crackhead son pimp out his name.  To the tune of some $38,000,000 if recent reports prove true.  And once the Republicans take over the House, we should find out...  

And Hunter's spent $millions, too.  Usually on hookers and cocaine and crack and alcohol and hotels and guns and jewelry and cars and expensive mansions and anything else he could think of.  He actually had his father wire him $30,000 one night in a crack-fueled orgy and spent it before dawn the next day...

So Hunter was sad when his brother Beau died.  So sad he chose to screw his brother's dead widow.  Literally.  Oh yeah, and then gave her clamydia.  He divorced his first wife, moved in with a second, who was a "dancer," in a "gentlemen's club," knocked her up, she gave birth, and he bolted.  Only to disavow the bastard child and be sued by the dancer for paternity.  And lose.  And be forced to pay $20,000 a month.  Child support and alimony.  Without a job.

You kind of need a program to follow this s*it, don't you?  

Oh yeah, all while living in a rented house in Malibu, at $20,000 a month, with the Secret Service renting pricey homes all around him to protect his slimy ass.  Which we, The Taxpayers, are paying for.  Just like everything else these perennial leaches touch.

And Hunter set about memorializing all of this drug-induced excess on Facebook, and Twitter, and Instagram, and anywhere else he could find.  Pictures of him snorting coke off hooker's breasts are all over the Internet.  And then he went and did something extra stupid.  He dropped his laptop off for repair.  While drunk.  And stoned.  A laptop which the Democrats turned themselves inside out to try and blame on "Russian disinformation."  And then dropped his gun in a supermarket.  A gun he'd bought illegally.  He'd sworn that he'd never been addicted to a narcotic substance on Fm 4453, that thing you need to fill out, under penalty of perjury, in order to buy a gun.  And he did.  He lied.  Which was...and is...a felony.  And then he sent his hooker buddy to find it and throw it in a wastebasket.  At the same supermarket.  

Is this some special brand of stupid, or what?  Is it in the DNA?  

Purchasing the pistol was a felony.  He swore that he wasn't addicted to an illegal substance.  He was.  He's going to jail if a real FBI ever gets in charge.

But until then, Jimmy had Billy.  And Joe, and all of America, and China, and Ukraine, and Russia, and who knows who the Hell else, has Hunter...

You know, it's got to be tough for the "Legacy Media" to avoid learning the stuff I just reported to you, right here, right now...

Nature Abhors a Vacuum...

Mother Nature has several immutable laws.

Among those are the fact that "A body in motion tends to stay in motion."  And "A body at rest tends to stay at rest."  And my all-time favorite, "Nature abhors a vacuum."  That means if something vital to a body's continued survival is removed, or negatively altered, it may in fact result in another force being attracted to fill the vacuum thus created.

Let that sink in...

Lemme' give you an example.   Remember a few years back when a dentist from Ohio shot Cecil the lion in a game preserve in Kenya?  Killed him dead, he did.  And killed his career, and his marriage, and his future with the same gunshot.  All for shooting a lion where he shouldn't have.  Dumbo!  

But what about that dreaded "Nature abhors a vacuum," thingie, Mr. Chuckmeister?  Sure, fellow Patriots.  And here it is.  Cecil's death caused an immediate drop in permits for visiting hunters to shoot lions as trophies.  And a loss of some $15,000 in revenue to the game preserve and the host country in fees.  And that meant no lions were shot in Botswana during those following two years.  So lions were permitted to wander around freely and reproduce and multiply their numbers and gobble natives.  To an out-of-control level.  So much so that during those following two years more than 200 villagers were eaten.  

Lions get hungry, you know.

Botswana came to its senses and restored hunting.  And added years to its villagers' lives.

Another example?  Sure.

The Hard-Left "Progressives" demanded that we "Defund the Police" in 2019.  And they banged that drum all year long.  Some are still banging it!  That means they want to remove the taxpayers' funding for police departments in America's cities.  All of them.  And then reinvest the money saved into "community activism."  Mental health screening and food banks and such.  Instead of cops patrolling the streets, they want civilians in those cars responding to calls.  So, when those dreaded "domestic disturbance" calls come in, the ones most responsible for cops being shot in the line of duty, they want bleeding heart Liberals to handle the problem.  

I'm guessing these lawmakers must own stock in funeral parlors... 

Well, fellow Patriots, as both a historian and a trained sociologist (and pool hustler and race car driver), let me share what I've learned on the subject.  Some 140,000 - 150,000 years ago, pre-historic, pre-homo sapiens sapiens hunter-gatherers began to shelter together.  They did this seeking safety.  They began building their lodgings together and building their campfires together and they appointed members of the group to provide safety for the others while they slept.  And that safety (First) enabled them to focus on foraging for and even growing food and growing their families instead of (Second) having to worry about personal safety.  

And that increased sense of safety available in communal settings after awhile became an expected benefit of moving there.  And pitching your tent with the others.  And then beginning to start farming and stop hunting.

So, follow me here, 'cause I'm going somewhere, And so, ancient cities such as London and Baghdad and Jerusalem, attracted hundreds of thousands of dwellers.  And that expectation of increased safety, stretching all the way back to prehistoric times, continued on to Detroit and Chicago and Baltimore and New Orleans today.  

Where you could now be shot to death before dark...

That sense of increased safety pushed out the sense of anarchy and fear and trepidation.  And replaced it with a sense of personal safety.  A sense one needs to work and perform and learn and enjoy and play and raise your family in order to fully experience the human condition.

A sense made even more believable by cops in patrol cars all over our streets, keeping us safe.  They're keeping the "fringe" at bay.  Those who would rise up and fill any "defunding" effort and instill anarchy.  So when we call, the police usually come within minutes.  To corral the perps and restore our sense (there's that word again) of safety.  And tranquility.  

But Then.................

Those fun-loving Chinese were losing the trade war with Prezzzz. Trump so they unleashed (luuv that word!) the Wuhan Coronavirus upon us.  And nearly One Million of Us Died (I certainly hope the Big Guy's monthly check wasn't disrupted!).  And what was the first thing the Left-Wing "Progressive" caucus of the House did?  They demanded that we "defund the police."  Yes, they're trying to rewrite history now, but that's what they've been demanding since early 2019.  And that's what their constituents in those Big Blue Cities did.  They "defunded their police."  And crime has gone through the roof!

Remember when Seattle wasn't a war zone?

After more than a 30 year decline in firearm murders, 2020 gun deaths nearly doubled in some cities!  And 2021 saw that trend continue!  Why?  The cops in the Big Blue Cities bolted!  They took their pensions and went to the outlying cities to work.  Probably with a raise.  While the Big Blue Cities they left turned into toilets.  The ones that weren't toilets already...

As the title appearing above states, "Nature Abhors a Vacuum."  When the Sheriff Wyatt and his brothers' arrived in Dodge City, Kansas back in 1855, the crime stopped.  Dead in its tracks.  Wyatt moved in, criminals moved out.  So it is with cops.  A city provides effective policing, the crime goes waaay down.  The cops leave, the Bad Guys come back to town.  Simple.  I don't know why the simpletons in "The Swamp" or their handmaidens in the "Legacy Media" or those "Progressive" gadflies can't quite get their arms around that...

You've been watching a sociology experiment play itself out in real time.  Remember this:  Our Open Society has always teetered on the razor edge of the laws of man keeping men law abiding.  Because, if for no other reason, to avoid the harsh discipline the law could mete out.  Today?  Very little "meteing."  And a whole lot of perp coddling.  A vacuum in policing always results in heightened crime.  A vacuum will always be replaced with something.  

We would hope in this case it's a few (thousand) good cops...  

Odd Musings From an Odd Muse...

As you can well imagine, those of enormous intellect such as I have been known to occasionally evidence, ahem, (I considered myself the smartest kid in school.  Others didn't...), have occasional fleeting thoughts that are sometimes worth jotting down.  And perhaps sharing.  So here goes a "jot" or two.  And a "share" or two...

     -  The Queen has finally taken some time off after 96 years.  Joe O'Biden takes time off every day.  In fact, fully 40% of his entire time in office has been spent...taking time off.  He spent his entire senatorial career commuting by Amtrak between Baltimore and D.C. every single weekend, and now he's just changed his home address.  The commute is faaar less, and the view is faaar better...

     -  Do you have to be "whelmed" before you can be overwhelmed?  Asking for a friend... 

     -  I'd like to know the average I.Q.'s of our Congressweenies.  Wouldn't you?  100?  Maybe less?  Far less? 

     -  Minimum wage in Taxifornia was $15.00 an hour two years ago.  It was $7.75 two years before that.  Now it's whatever the employer has to pay to get some pimply-faced loser to put down his video game and drag himself out of his mom's basement and trundle on down to the Choke 'n Puke.  Where he can pick up $20.00 an hour asking, "Would you like fries with that?"  While our new Army recruits are earning $15.00 an hour risking their lives.  Our greasy Boy Guv up there in Sacramento can justify that, how?

     -  Whatever happened to customer service?  I mean, you call someplace and a real live person answers?  And then directs you to your desired individual.  Or extension.  Or simply answers your question?  Is that so hard?  It seems now, the bigger the business, the harder it is to actually get to a homo sapiens sapiens to help you.  I actually called my Primary Care Provider's office at 11:30 yesterday morning and every single extension had one of those, "We'll call you back within 24 to 48 hours."  Damn!  You could die!  And had your ashes spread by then!

     -  When I was young I was scared of the dark.  Now, when I receive my electric bill, I'm scared of the light!

     -  I dunno' 'bout chew, but before the Chinese Wuhan Coronavirus was "unleashed," I just naturally assumed that most of my fellow man (all inclusive term) were of average intelligence.  With the occasional dumbo thrown in there, of course.  But not too many of them.  But then I began seeing clips of my fellow Patriots being dragged off little league fields for not wearing a mask.  And ordinary, presumably room temperature-I.Q. folks riding their bikes and wearing a mask.  Or driving in their cars, windows rolled up, wearing a mask.  A mask that does not work for virus-ss-ses (they're designed for bacteria, mucho largero than viri!  Like 50 x largero!).  But they've bought the bulls*it hook, line and sinker.  That means completely.  They're probably the same folks who watch CNN(LOL) and MSPMS...  

     -  So far, some 5,000,000 illegal aliens, or "newly-arrived asylum-seekers, who will not qualify for asylum," have become wards of America.  Without America having chosen to invite them.  Or, rather only a small fraction of "America" invited them.  Just a few Ivy-leave pukes in "The Swamp" invited them.  Those who are trying to replace the used-to-be-Democrat voters who are now running like scalded dogs to the Republican Party.  5 Million.  That's the population of Houston, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.  Combined.  Who are now where, and are doing what?  And to whom?  

           Remember, any one of them who tries to work has to get a Social Security card first.  And doing so is a FELONY! 

     -  Notice fewer ads for weight loss programs on TV these days?  That's because with raging Bidenflation, one cannot afford to eat.  Let's see now, put gas in the tank so I can get to work, or give the Little Lady the same $80.00 for groceries?  Hmmm...

     -    I hope my fellow 'Muricans remember when they go to the voting booth that the Democrats have been in complete control of all the levers of power for the past three years!  The Presidency, the House of Reps, and the Senate.  Plus all the committees.  So, whatever joy you're feeling, chalk it up to them.  And pain?  The same.  Place the blame where it belongs; the Democrat Party and their Avatar, Joe O'Biden.  

Nomsayin'?...

     -  I don't need to win the lottery.  All I need is to have the Plexiglas distributorship when the next pandemic comes around...

     -  You'll be (dis)pleased to know that we've been giving phones to all the illegals as they cross so we can keep in touch with them.  All 5,000,000 of them (we paid for 5 million phones?).  So we can know where they are.  So we can go scoop them up if they get rowdy or don't show up to the cattle call when ordered.  That's what they've been telling us.  

Well now, turns out the $80,000,000 contract we let with O'Biden's cousin's company (just guessing) to monitor the illegals in their various travels (hope they're living their very best lives!), are explicitly prevented from using GPS to locate them!  You read that right!  The only reason I can figure for this "little" exclusion is so that they cannot be located.  Go ahead, you simpleton guards, you!  Try and find those illegals with a blindfolds over your eyes!

     -  Right now, there are 1.5 firearms for every 'Murican.  Some 435 million of them, according to that same FBI that does its best to put Conservatives in the hoosegow.  And they are owned, according to the G-Men, by 100,000,000 of us.  One Hundred Million of us!  One out of three!  I wonder if those folks who are working overtime to deprive us of what's left of our liberties know that?  And if they also know that if they squeeze us too hard, we just might respond too hard?    

So now, fellow Patriots, I've vented my spleen to a level not seen in modern times.  No more to vent.  All gone.  See you when the spleen fills up.  Gotta' go.

Buh bye!

DIVORCE! (Part Deux)

So we've thrown down the gauntlet, you and I.  

All us Patriots have informed the elitist dweebs that we have irreconcilable differences, and we want a divorce.  No more counseling, no more cooling off period, we want out!  

So now it's time to divide up the assets.  You know, she gets the China, he gets the poodle, that sort of thing.  But in our case, it's the proceeds of 246 years of growing and doing and being.  And so let's get started...

     -  Let's give them the "Legacy Media."  You know, that Constitutionally-protected "Fourth Estate" by way of which you and I are supposed to get unbiased information (Ha! Ha!).  And then know how to vote.  Except of late it's been anything but unbiased.  Put plainly, it's been reporting only one-sided, Left-leaning claptrap for decades.  To be honest, and God knows we are, the "Corporate Media" is nothing but the communications arm of the Democrat National Committee.  And everybody SOUTH of I-70 already knows it!  So they'll think they're getting something Big, and we'll know they already had it!  Yes, they're not all that bright...

     -  We'll take the United States Military and the National Guard.  They're pretty much Conservatives anyway, so the Democrats know they won't be losing many votes.  And we can use their world-class firepower when it's time to fend off those brand-new, and fully-armed, IRS agents.  All 87,000 of them.  Can you see it?  A shoot out between guys in cammo with AR-15's and Ivy League grads in Brooks Brother suits, all armed with 9mm's.  I'll take the Military...

     -  And speaking of those IRS agents, we'll give them the IRS.  And all their armed bookkeepers.  They'll all become unionized soon, and they all vote Democrat, so nothing lost, nothing gained...

     -  They certainly get Hollywood, and all the miserable, neurotic, self-absorbed pukes who live there.  Think about it: they get up every morning and prepare to read lines written by others, even more screwed up than are they!  And they get paid $Millions for doing so.  Because others seeking a little release from life's problems, will pay to go sit in a darkened and watch them perform.  That's another area in which psychiatry and psychology might be of help.  

But anyway, since you could hold a monthly meeting of the Hollywood Republicans Club in a phone booth, if there's one left, not too much lost here.  They already have the Left Coast, so it's best to just let these sleeping dogs lie...

     -   We'll take the Police, and the Firefighters, and all the other sworn officers in uniform throughout 'Murica.  like the Military, they're pretty much all on our side anyhoo, so no biggie.  Annnnnd, since the Dummass Democrats chose to try and "Defund the Police," the cops all over the Fruited Plain who did lean a little bit "Left," have come to their senses.  Now?  They'd like to smack the s**t out of those commie pr*cks!

     -  Oh yeah, they get all the Federal Drones, who hopefully won't have a job once a Republican President retakes the Orville Orifice.  There's more than 250,000 of them, just around "The Swamp" in D.C., doing who knows what, so there's gonna' be some pain.  Not for them, though. They're probably unionized, so they'll get 8 years of pay if they get fired..

That oughta' do it.  With the dissolution of community property having now been dispersed, let's just now call this period in our history just like I call my first wife; a Good Start.  So let's go our separate ways, just like we did from Britain.  Who, I might remind you, is now our biggest and best friend!  We might actually become friends if we just get divorced!  But until then, we know they hate us, and we don't believe a word that they say.  So seems like a good ending to me...  

Let's start today.  Write your Congressweenie and let them know your feelings.  Let them know those pukes in Martha's Vineyard need to start looking out for themselves.  No more being propped up by those "Suthennn" heathens.  We'll now take our toys and go home.  

But don't come a callin' if and when you need our help.  You know, from the police or the fire or the Army or the Marines or the Air Force or the Coast Guard or the Space Force or the people to sit in a darkened theater and watch Jen and Ben love it up.  She's been married four times, and he's been married three.  Two now to her!   A shrink could set up shop in their bed room!

Mic drop...

"NGO's"

I kept on hearing about those "NGO's" in relation to our Border Protection folks.  

You know, the "Non-Governmental Organizations."  The ones our Border Guys and Gals and "Others" send those newly-arrived Illegal Aliens to after they've written down their names.  Or whatever names the illegals choose to give them.  All 7,000 of them a day.  Not including the so-far 750,000 "got-aways."  Those who would prefer not to be "welcomed."  

Perhaps they harbor nefarious intent?  Like those who flew planes into our Twin Towers, perhaps?   

Yes, it seems there's so many illegals streaming across our completely open and unguarded southern border, by O'Biden's order, that our guards must turn them over to what they call "NGO's."  We have only 22,000 total Border Guards.  And so far there's been 2,000,000 illegals invade our sanctity.  This fiscal year!  So far!  With one more month to go!

Not Joe O'Biden's sanctity, just our citizens' sanctity.  And our sanity... 

NGO's?  What's an NGO and what does it have to do with illegals?  I thought you'd never ask.  So I did a little digging.  I always do a little digging.  Sometimes more than a little...

That's what you pay me for, right?

And what I found shocked even me, the totally cynical-ized old reprobate who has lived through too much of this liberal horsepucky to be surprised at much of anything anymore.  Get this:  We, the Taxpayers, you and me, but we're only half of the population, remember, spend more than $139,000,000 a year on NGO's!  Hundreds and hundreds of them!  From Catholic charities to sanctuary city shelters and programs, we spend $139 Mil, but those Deep Blue Cities spend hundreds of millions more!  Remember, there are 239 Sanctuary Cities!  And all, I would say, at cross-purposes to our immigration laws.

In other words, those NGO's, funded by the Taxpayers, are aiding and abetting illegal immigration.  Remember, they get paid by the illegal!  So the more, the merrier (and richer)!  Just like the  Mexican cartels, who charge each poor migrant $Thousands, so do we.  Except we, the taxpayers pay our NGO's by the migrant!  

In other words, we get screwed both coming and going!  They come across our border illegally, forcing us to incur all those costs, and then we pay the NGO's to give them what they don't legally deserve, adding addition $Millions to the Taxpayers' burden.  

These NGO's give these illegals cell phones, and transit papers, and "arrest" warrants with which they can fly or take a bus.  For free.  And food and water.  And shelter.  For free.  And rent abeyance.  For free!  In Estados Unidos!  The Big Enchilada!  Our veterans living on the streets, and we're putting illegals up in ritzy hotels.  Bizarro World?

America is the Black Hole, drawing in illegals from 180 countries so far!  Illegally!  And if you can make it to NYC, and you now can, for free, they'll give you free healthcare and a coveted spot in Cardinal Dolan's private - and expennnnsivvve! - Catholic school system for their kids!  And once again, FOR FREE!  

(Psssst!  Memo to Cardinal Dolan.  There are a lot of Catholic families in New Yawk who can't afford to put their kids in your fancy friggin' schools.  For an average of more than $10,000 a year!  Yet you give those spots to illegals?  For free.  Why should they stay Catholic, again?)

I suggest we all just drive to Tiajowanna, walk across the Border, add a "Z" to our last names, smear some coffee grounds on our faces to get that "south-of-the-Border" tan, and wade back across the Rio Friggin' Grande.  You'll be welcomed by our Border Folks as a newly-minted 'Murican, with all the goodies and bennies Joe O'Biden can offer.  Courtesy of your neighbor.  Who will be pissed he didn't join you...  

But if he can't, his (our) NGO's will still be on duty, awaiting the next arrival!

It used to be that if you could make it in New York City, you could make it anywhere.  Now?  Think of this:  Regardless of your level of education, or whether you can speak English, or your intellect, or even desire, if you can make it TO New York City, you've already made it!  

Who The Hell Permitted This Crap To Happen?

A DIVORCE IS IMMINENT!

They don't like us.

We don't like them.

Time to do something about it.

Ours has been an explosive relationship.  It began with a bang, back in 1776, and is apparently now ending with a whimper...

I dunno' about you, but I think the time is finally right for a...

                            ...divorce.

Oh, I've intimated about it before, but it's obvious that our "Nawthen Elites" just won't play nice.  

These folks have looked down their noses at us for way too long.  They've considered us second-class citizens.  The "Great Unwashed."  The Proletariat.  The Peons.  America's "Uyghurs."  Those who live to serve...them.

And they, and their handmaidens, the "Legacy Press," which controls our information flow from a six-block area in mid-town Manhattan, who are the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democrat National Committee, which rule from their 55 square-mile "Swamp" in D. C., have treated us like Red-Headed Stepchildren.  They consider us "flyover people."  Those inbred folks who live between the Hudson River and the Sacramento River.  And do so, in their opinions, poorly...  

Those pickup-driving, beer-swilling, flag-waving, baseball-loving, sub-100 I.Q. Whitebread unfortunates who continue to drag down our Hard Left Liberals in their efforts to fully "Progressive-ize" America.  To turn it into what they've always wanted it to be; Cuba.  

Well now, fellow Patriots, I'm pretty sure you're just as tired as I'm am over this treatment, and just as anxious as I am to bring it to an end.  And I think I know how...

Picture Europe.  Europe west of the Eurasian Continent hosts an astounding 29 separate countries.  In a land mass that would fit comfortably Texas!  Think about it: Texas is 600 miles wide.  So is Western Europe.  

Count those countries if you doubt me!  Think France and Germany and Italy and Spain and Holland.  These countries have warred with each other for millennia.  France and England have been at war with each other for over 1,000 years!  Remember the "Battle of Hastings?"  Back in 1066?  No?  Too much "Equity, Inclusion and Intimidation" training?  Lemme' help you out... 

Think France and England.  There was no Internet back then, or TV, or even newspapers, so I think they considered it sport!  Something to allay boredom!  Yet now, today, they reside next to one another in (relative) peace.  

So it is possible, even between countries as ideologically opposed as France, and say England.  And as "cheek-by-jowl" up next to one another as is say, Belgium and Luxembourg.  They are at peace.  Or maybe they're just worn out from being at war... 

I propose a similar arrangement between the Northern States of America and the Southern States of America.  I propose the dividing line between the two to be roughly Interstate Highway I-70.  It runs from approximately Baltimore, Maryland, to the western edge of Utah, and then it blends into a series of state highways. 

However, everybody knows that our western tier of states, Washington, Oregon and California, are as Blue as Blue can get.  They really should get together and form another nation.  They are filled up to the very brim with Liberal "Progressive" Leftist pukes who live to co-opt OPM (Other Peoples' Money).  So there's no dealing with this Cabal of Commies.  They are beyond help.  So just forget about where I live and so many other "normal" people live.  We are beyond help.  Like those who lived in East Berlin, behind...The Wall.  Except our "wall" is where no U-Haul trailers available because they're all rented out.  

(What's that sound you hear?  It's the roll-up door on the back of a U-Haul truck slamming shut as it readies for a journey East to Anywhere Else on the I-10...) 

Remember the movie, "Escape from Los Angeles?"  Snake Plitkin doing his best to remove himself from this once-Golden State?  So is everyone else with the means to do so...  

I think we should "Build That Wall!"  But in addition to building it between America and the Rest of The World, we should also build it between America and These Three States.  And then try our best to keep them in.  I see it all now: Border patrols guarding the gates, checking your passports, as some try to enter California from Arizona.  To visit Disneyland.  For some unknown reason... 

Or leave.  I can predict a line of miles and miles as you try to leave.  Notice the traffic from Mexico and the Triangle Countries is all headed...North.

This rather extreme measure has been made necessary because almost all of our Constitutionally-protected news-gathering and dissemination services spew nothing but socialist dogma.  And that wouldn't be so bad, except about half of America watches nothing else.  As the Administration keeps on lying, to our faces, while they sanguinely report it.  Pravda would be proud.  

So, a corrupt Media, coupled with an ignorant sub-set of America which refuses to become enlightened, to consider any perspective other than whatever Joe says is bad, spells doom for our Representative Republic (no, Joe, we don't have a democracy).  Yes, it's an emergency.  The time to act...is now!

In the coming days I'll write about how we divide up the assets between the NSA and the SSA.  But this is enough for now.  Its enough to say we have difficulties between us, and those difficulties are not being resolved.  And nothing but a divorce will resolve them.

In the meantime, just pay no attention at all to the incessant harping of the "DNC Media."  They're only spewing Democrat talking points to Democrat listeners anyway.  Those who refuse to listen to reason.  Vacuous twits.

Nomsayin'?

(my favorite word) 

He Went Ahead and Did It...

I wrote a week or so back about our greaseball Boy Guv and how he just might sign the new "FAST Food Act."  

That's the one that gives control of Taxifornia's 600,000 fast food workers to an unelected, 10-person group of appointed bureaucrats, with only five of which necessarily being from the food industry.  And with the power and authority to set the minimum wage of those fast food workers.  Amazingly.  And unlike anywhere else in America.  

Or anywhere else outside Russia, and North Korea, and China, and Cuba.  

Let's see now... Is it socialism that owns the means of production, or is it Marxism?  Hmmm...

So, in case you haven't been paying attention, CA's min-wage was $15.00 two years ago.  It is now $17.65.  Or whatever the employer has to pay pimply-faced teens to flip burgers.  Buuuut, this new group of Marxists may now just wave their manicured hands and juice the MinWage up to...wait for it...$22.00 and hour!  All by their lonesome!

And just as a reminder, the starting wage for a new recruit into the U. S. Army is...$15.00 an hour.

So, let's look at it like this for a change.  A potential McDonalds franchisee must pay a fee of around $250,000 simply for the chance to sell those delicious (!) Quarter Pounders.  That's just the franchise fee.  And another $250k for the land and building and fixtures to get ready to open.  

And for that?  If his store is open 24 hours a day he can expect to earn about $250,000 a year.  Before taxes.  Or, a pre-tax profit of about 3 - 4%.  

With this new law?  His profit will be entirely wiped out.  The increase in his employees' wages, all announced and controlled from without, beyond his control, even though HE'S the employer, would entirely eliminate his profit.  I have the feeling the value of MickeyD's franchise will soon drop to about...ZERO!  And so will the values of all the other franchises here in Socialistville.  

Hey, dummies!  Here's a reminder.  Just because you CAN do a thing, doesn't mean you SHOULD do a thing...

Oh yeah, and just to prove that this wasn't a one-off, shoot-your-self-in-the-foot moment, San Fran Nan's nephew Gavin Newsom, a guy born or 3rd base and thought he'd hit a triple, decided to make California Abortion Central.  He just announced "abortion.ca.gov."  That's his new little website that advertised absolutely FREE abortions to anyone, IN THE WORLD!

And on top of this our Boy Guv just put up 7 billboards in Red States advertising to their citizens the availability of a quick and dirty abortion.  Just hop a plane and, "Come on out to the coast!  Have a little fun!  Drop that unwanted weight!"

I don't recall any convo about the use of Taxpayer Funds to pay for this boondoggle.  Especially the funds of those who believe that abortion is murder and a sin against God.  That's okay, says Gavin, because there is no God.  No harm, no foul...

So now your Happy Meal, which cost $5.99 two years ago, and costs $9.99 today, will be $15.99 after these bureaucrats get through tinkering with it.  But even though you won't be able to afford to eat one, you'll be able to get a free abortion.  

So there's that...
