Am I Missing Something Here?

Ya' gotta' help me here.  I just heard on the news that our Federal Gummint just announced it's spending some $87 Million Dollars to rent motel rooms in and around our southern border.

To put up illegal aliens.

Lemme' say that again.  Illegal aliens.*  

Aliens who've crossed the border illegally and shouldn't be here.  

And that's while we're forcing on-duty National Guard members in Washington, D.C., American citizens and military veterans all, to sleep on the floor of parking garages.  

The cold hard floor...

Did someone in law enforcement forget that crossing our International Border without permission is illegal?  And that doing so opens one up to arrest and prosecution?  And that such prosecution can carry with it a prison sentence of up to six (6) months for the first offense, as a misdemeanor, and up to two years for any subsequent offense(s), as a felony?  That is in addition to any civil fines and forfeitures assigned?  So, yes, my cursory search of our laws says that crossing our Border is still illegal, and that anyone doing so should be arrested.

Did they forget that?

Apparently, Mr. Joe O'Biden is not aware of our Federal laws, even though we're told he has a law degree.  I understand he graduated toward the bottom of his class, which is not hard for me to believe having observed him carefully, so perhaps he didn't learn it waaaay back then.  Which, as they say, was a long, LONG time ago, doncha' know.  Perhaps even before there WAS a border (chuckle, chuckle from Chuckie).  Or perhaps he's forgotten it due to his advanced age.  So, yes, it's still illegal to cross the border, and good ol' Joe should be reminded of that fact.

As in, misdemeanor for the 1st offense, felony for the 2nd and subsequent offenses.

(Ummmm, just wondered when the last time one of those "undocumented, but oh-so-welcome visitors from Anywhere Else, who are sure to become citizens reeeeel soon," was actually prosecuted for this, perhaps our most frequent crime?  Bet it was a long, long time ago, if ever...)

Asking for asylum?  Terrific!  Under carefully negotiated agreements between the Trump Administration and the governments of Mexico and all the Northern Triangle countries, those asking for asylum were required to apply in the first country in which they arrived after leaving their home country.  Period.  And then wait in Mexico while their cases were being adjudicated.  They did not get to jump to the front of the line.  Unless the laws were changed while I wasn't looking.

Were they Joe?  Were they?

Apparently.  Because Joe on Day One whipped off a few Executive Orders and upset the entire apple cart.  To the extent we're now in a generally-regarded "National Crisis."

Emergency?

Joe helped more than 140,000 illegals crossed our southern border in February.  More than 18,000 illegal unaccompanied children (UAC's) are being currently held in custody.  In warehouses.  Some Seven Times the number when Trump was POTUS.  In the very same cages Obama built (where are all the celebrities who were clutching their pearls when Trump had to detain UAC's?  Where's Cher?  Where's Chrissy?  Where's Barbra?).  It was just reported that illegals now detained are being issued a ticket without a court date!

A summons!  Like for exceeding the speed limit!

I ask again:  Is it not illegal to cross our Border illegally?  If not, and if those arrested for having done so are not punished, then I'd have to ask... 

...why should any of our citizens ever bother to obey any of our laws, ever again?  

Hmmmmm?

*  Don't give me any crap about using the term "illegal aliens."  That's the term our Constitution uses to describe anyone who breaks in to our Country without permission.  There's been a whole lot of not asking for permission lately...

NOTE:  The 9th District Court of Appeals just issued one of their Orwellian rulings stating that the amount of bail in a criminal case may be set after considering the perp's ability to pay.  In other words, if you're poor  and can't afford bail, you get set free.  Only the "rich" have to pay bail now in California.  That should result in a new wave of crimes by those unable to pay to bail themselves out of trouble.  Maybe it will pose a real draw to those out-of-state criminals looking for a little sunshine.  Maybe including a disproportionate level of retired seniors who are considered among the newly "poor."  Has anyone considered that they just might go on a crime spree now that they've found out that, as with illegal aliens, there's no punishment for their crimes?  Perhaps I should erase this in case I should decide to take my own advice...

Attractive Nuisance...

There's such a thing in the law called an "attractive nuisance."

I learned that from a lawyer friend who advised me to ditch my swimming pool diving board many years ago.  He said if anyone got hurt, they could sue by declaring my diving board an "attractive nuisance."

As in, if it weren't so damned attractive, no one would have used it.  Or gotten hurt.  The "but for" provision in the law.  As in "But for" the diving, board, your honor, my client would not have been mangled for life and turned into a vegetable..."

Yeah, the law sucks, don't it?  If it didn't, Hunter and his Dad would both be in prison...

Anyway, with that comparison to build upon, America is an "attractive nuisance."  You could look all around the world and you won't find another country people are literally selling their gold teeth to break into.  We've made it that way.  We've created the single most vibrant, successful, productive republic on Earth.  Not a democracy, a republic!  A democracy brought down ancient Rome.  We've got a republic, as Franklin once told a constituent, "...if we can keep it."

In spite of the liberal leaches and union thugs and climate alarmists and racial bigots and usurious tax policy wonks and idiotic rules and regulations, we've made it work.  In just over 240 years we've gone from a post-medieval collection of villages to, as Reagan once said, "The shining city on the hill."  

So attractive, in fact, that people from the other 187 nations want to come here.  Maybe all of them.  Sometimes desperately.  I'm thinking if it weren't for the oceans, you know, the Pacific and the Atlantic (praise be for them!), there might be 2 or 3 billion people living here!  (BTW, some of the open borders crowd have stated there's plenty of room in Texas for all of them!).  And even though we offer a legal, moral and ethical immigration system that permits the annual welcome of more than 1,000,000 migrants annually, right now, many others feel free to violate our laws and come here illegally.

And that's not new.  We've been told we have "11,000,000" illegals here for decades.  Right now.  Alright, everyone who believes there are just 11 million illegals here, raise your hand?  Anyone?  Anyone?

We have no way of knowing how many are here.  It could be 22,000,000.  Or maybe 50,000,000!  No one knows.  And seemingly, the Democrats don't care.  Joe O'Biden bragged the other night in his first (and maybe last...) press conference that relatives of unaccompanied minors who are found with their phone numbers taped to their wrists are immediately called by the Border Patrol so they can be reunited.  Huh?  Why didn't a reporter ask if those parents or other relatives who are here to welcome this new illegal child are themselves illegal?  And if so, why aren't they being scooped up and deported?

Institutionalized, multi-generational, flagrantly illegal activity, sanctioned by one of our two political parties is making citizens disdainful of the law.  It certainly is me.  Shameful.

Why?  Because to Democrats all those illegals will someday be magically turned into voters.  Illegal aliens are voting right now in San Franpoopco and Santa Monica and Chicago and Baltimore and in some counties of Virginia.  They'll figure out a way to make them all citizens, perhaps as soon as Joe O'Biden gets up from his next nappy poo.

Maybe by next Tuesday.

Trump was trying to build a wall to keep them out.  O'Biden and his sycophants are trying to open the borders and let them all in.  

Houston, we have a problem!  

In fact, a good portion of our problem is in and around Houston!

It may be the only way to diffuse this situation is to make America less attractive.  To make the U. S. a less desirable place in which to live and fewer will try to break in (it's becoming more so every day!  Have you been to Lost Angeles lately?  It's a toilet!  Literally!)   

Maybe we just let Alexandria Occasional-Cortex and her crowd pass the Green New Deal.  That should stop the trains and the planes and eliminate all the cars and put us on horseback again.  And also major Gun Control.  They'll confiscate all the weapons and then only the gangs will have guns (think Japan's Yakuza).  And brand-new Voting Rights Legislation.  Gutting ordinary controls on illegal voting would insure the Inmates stay in control of the Asylum.

Forever!

In fact, the inmates are now voting from the asylum!  The Democrats new "stimulus" bill insured that!  

These measures, all Democrat wet dreams, should go a long way toward turning America into Venezuela and our zoo animals into supper.  For only then, absent a new Administration or Heavenly Intervention, will the wave of illegal immigration on our Southern Border...cease.

Until then, as I advise my family and friends and neighbors, keep your guns oiled and loaded and at the ready.  You just might need them...

MOLON LABE!

Once again, some crazed fool obtains a gun, legally or otherwise, and shoots up a church or a mosque or a school.  

Or, most recently, a grocery store.

It happens every now and then when one of the 100,000,000 American gun owners comes unglued and causes a massacre.  With a firearm.  Somebody who should have been found out and helped with their mental health crises by our highly-paid healthcare authorities before the fact.  But our current mental health system failed them. 

And all of us.  

And quicker than a quark can go "fsssst," the gun-grabbers on the Left, those protected behind walls and guns, will line up in front of the nearest news camera and demand GUN CONTROL!   

They want so-called "assault weapons" banned!  And confiscated!    

And they want so-called "high-capacity" magazines to be banned!  And confiscated!  

And they want to pass so-called "Universal Background Check" legislation so they'll know who has what gun, so they'll know where to go when Confiscation Day comes...

(NOTE:  When a drunk causes a wreck and kills someone, we do not normally call for all cars to be confiscated.  When a kid drowns in a bathtub, we do not normally call for all bathtubs to be outlawed and showers to be mandated.  When a baby sticks a fork in a power outlet and electrocutes itself, we do not normally call for electricity to be outlawed.  But when somebody shoots somebody?  Pulllleeeezzz!  Oh yeah, and it's a Constitutional RIGHT to own and bear a firearm!)  

Fellow Pilgrims, I'm godddammed sick and tired of hearing these empty threats!  I say, Go Ahead, Make My Day!  Pass such legislation!  Even though doing so would clearly violate the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution, and draw lawsuits like a magnet, and be overturned by any right-thinking SCOTUS, and cause untold havoc on the streets while those lawsuits are winding their way through the courts, and cause millions of legal gun owners to become instant felons because they absolutely will not comply with heavy-handed new Federal registration/confiscation rules and regulations, they'll still do it.

Because they can.

So again, I say, Man Up!  No more empty threats.  If you're going to "pull the trigger," so to speak, pull it!  We await!

And by the way, the term "Molon Labe" was uttered by Sparta's Leonidas in response to Persia's Xerxes' demand that he turn over all his weapons.  Or else, Xerxes threatened, he'd be coming to Thermopolae and take them.  They didn't.  He did.  He later wished he hadn't.  Big Time...

Oh yeah, "Molon Labe" means, "Come and take them!"

Okay, Harris/O'Biden, it's your move...

My Press Clippings...

I don't want you to read and enjoy this unassuming little blog just because I think you should.  No, no, no!  You should only read it because of the wisdom it imparts.  The almost unmatched level of deep, heartfelt wisdom and experience borne of decades and decades of community organizing, deep sea diving, sign twirling, bull riding, responsibility-avoiding and gunsmithing.  However, for those who have yet to experience the almost ethereal, orgasmic sense of joy which can come to one from an enlightening read of "The Chuckmeister's" blog, perhaps the voice of others might serve to sway you.  If so, here are a but a few I've collected of late.  Enjoy!

What Henry Lee Taught Us...

Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on August 23rd, 2005.  Hit it hard.

It made a mess, as you likely know.  I know personally, having toured the area with a LA state patrolman friend some six months later.  Put simply, 90% of it was just erased...  

However, there was another "mess" it caused, or rather exposed.  And I, The Chuckmeister, am here to tell you all about it...

On the morning of August 24th, the very next morning, while the storm was still raging through Louisiana, New Orleans Parish Sheriff Henry Lee marshaled his forces.  He dispatched his deputies to the homes of every single registered gun owner, in row boats, to confiscate their weapons.  Every single one. 

No, I'm not kidding.  I truly wish I were.

The reason Henry knew who had guns is that New Orleans managed to bullsh*t its citizens into allowing it to create a registry of firearm owners some years earlier.  That was in response to its decades-long, nation-leading murder rate.  Which, I would add, was due in no small part to lax police enforcement under 80+ years of Democrat leadership.  

Creating a firearm registry is something our Founding Fathers would have never envisioned, nor ever countenanced.  New Orleans Parish had to pass a law in order to permit this activity, as current Federal regulations explicitly prohibit it in the absence.  

So just think of it: at the time when the residents of New Orleans needed their firearms for self-protection more than at any other on record, its Sheriff took them all away.  Why?  And why did the citizens let him get away with that?  And better yet, why did they accede?  

Why do I bring this up?  The Democrats are attempting to ram through legislation, right now, today, as this is written, which would create a Federal Registry of firearm owners.  Something that currently does not exist, for the very reason New Orleans residents have come to know.  There are legions of misguided gun-grabbers scurrying around D.C. with the singular goal of confiscating firearms.  And they desperately want to pass Universal Background Check legislation so they can go out and get them.  

Just like Henry Lee. 

Knowing what you now know, are you comfortable having your elected bozos know what guns you have?  Or even if you have one at all?  Do you want your firearm registered so they can come and snatch it up when the wicket gets sticky?  How about those belonging to your kids?  And their kids?

And here's one of those "existential questions" you read about.  If the Sheriff's deputy came to your house to confiscate your weapons, would you give them up?  Would you?  Do you wonder what percentage of your citizen brothers and sisters would do the same?

In short, are you willing to let a bureaucrat get between you and the defense of your family?

Freedom isn't free.  We have to keep fighting for it each generation.  And even if this generation chooses not to do its share, we will...

The Grays...

So back to the aliens...  

No, silly, not those aliens, the other ones...

We were talking about aliens, weren't we?  You know, those little "Gray" people?  The ones folks keep reporting as having seen so many times over the years?  Over the millennia?  Those guys?  The Grays?

Well anyway, back to the aliens.  I have it on good authority that they are sick and tired of being referred to as "The Grays," and I don't blame them.  It's a racial epithet and it should be removed from our lexicon! They consider the term demeaning and wish to be known by more socially-acceptable terminology.  I mean, you don't want to piss them off, they might riot!  And we surely do not want that!  I'm suggesting "Little People" as a much nicer name.  I mean, they average only about 4 feet in height, so that term would fit nicely.    

Of course, the Leprechaun Lobby would object, but somebody's ox always gotta' get gored, right people?  "For every action," and all that...

Anyway, our intergalactic alien friends are wondering exactly when we'll decide to stop slicing and dicing our society into various little races and colors and ethnicities and sub-groups?  I mean, it's divisive and accomplishes nothing except fomenting ever more disharmony between our various peoples.  And in the case of our famously scarce friends from "up there," they absolutely abhor it!  So much so, I hear, that they don't intend to show themselves, to land on the White House lawn, so to speak, unless or until we get our collective act together.  

Face it people!  We're just going to have to stop thinking of each other in terms of our color first.  I know there's one political Party that will dig in its feet here, but I'm pretty sure the other one will go along with this plan happily.  And maybe then we'll be able to convince those "other" guys, the ones who see race first, the ones to whom melatonin is the single most element on the "societal table," to finally see the light.

So, if you want to know the secret about those "Grays" and those flying saucers, you're just going to have to stop being a Democrat, or start being colorblind, or both...

Observation...

I think there's been a misconception on the part of those on the Left that all Trump voters were somehow hipppppmotizzzed into voting for him alone.

Like a "cult of personality," they tell us.  All day and all night they tell us that...  

No, I think he may well have just looked over his shoulder while walking along one day back in July of 2015 and discovered he was leading a parade.  A parade of millions and millions of disaffected Conservatives (many of them Republicans) who'd been mistreated, lied to, over-regulated, minimized, over-taxed, condescended to, insulted, demonized, beaten down and mainly IGNORED by their elected representatives and much of the Legacy Media for a generation or more.  Like so many serfs.  Did I say ignored?  Yes I did.  And they were looking for a champion to take them to the Conservative Promised Land.

A parade of millions who'd finally come to realize that the "powers that be" in the states bordering either of our vast oceans have been treating those in the middle of our Great Country, the so-called "fly-over people," as second-class citizens for far too long.

And it was Trump who just happened to come down the Golden Escalator that fateful day back in 2015 to pick up their gauntlet.

But those who selected Trump as their Champion back then did not do so, in my humble opinion, because he's a blustery, ornery, take no prisoners, loud, combative, competitive, insensitive, flawed, hard-charging, narcissistic sort of guy.  But mainly they did because no one else had shown up to champion their cause.  No one had shown up to be their Galahad.  I mean, Mitt Romney?  Hello!  Pullleeeezzz!  I think he wears silk underwear!  He holds up his pinky finger when he sips his sauvignon blanc!  And the fact that no one had done so before Trump tells us more about today's America than we should ever want to hear.

The 40%-or so of 'Murica that attached itself to Trump back then (and the 75+% of Republicans who say they'd still stick with him now), did so, in my opinion, because of what they hoped he would bring to that arrangement.  They knew that Trump was a businessman, not a politician.  A businessman who had succeeded admirably in his own life, and so they thought he might be able to bring some of that talent to the job of fixing Government.  After all, a never-ending stream of politicians hadn't managed to do so after decades, now had they?  They believed that Trump was willing to work hard, not just talk hard.  They heard him say he was dedicated to improving the plight of the working man and they chose to let him try.  They saw that he was willing to commit to a set of promises, and then be held to them.  And they saw that those promises were for the most part, kept.  

As he said to the Black population, "What do you have to lose?"

And all would have been, arguably, had Democrats not planted their Gucci-clad feet firmly in the turf and stalled almost all the legislation he and his Team managed to put forth.  And those who doubt the extent of that resistance only need consider the "Dirty "Pee" Dossier," the Russian Hoax, the Mueller Report, the Ukraine Phone Call, and two, read that TWO impeachments.  That, and a full-throated condemnation by nearly every single Media outlet in America.  Only his vaunted "Tax and Fiscal Reform Package" saw the light of day, and thankfully it did.  It lowered taxes on more than 81% of our citizens.   

Did the blow-dried talking heads on MSPMS and the Clinton News Network tell you this tax plan lowered taxes only on the rich?  Did they tell you that all day and all night?  Yeah, they lie like that.  All day and all night...

But despite Trump's many triumphs, he was thwarted continually in his efforts.  He was seen by his supporters as having tried, however.  After all, Trump was working for free, for God's sake!  He donated back to the Government a total of $1,400,000 of his salary to various charities during his 4-year term.  He felt that working as President was a privilege.  A privilege worth losing perhaps as much as one-half of his own personal fortune!  Although O'Biden took in some $16,000,000 in speaking fees the year after he left orifice as V.P., I'm wondering if good ol' Joe will now do the same?

O'Biden's now POTUS.  long live the POTUS!  Now, considering that his first actions as Prezzz was to issue 62 Executive Orders voiding some of Trump's most important accomplishments, and personally killing more than 100,000 high-paying, union jobs, I'm thinking it's gonna' be a bumpy ride....
