WHEN A GOVERNMENT FAILS

 So chances are you've heard about the Haiti's Prime Minister resigning, apparently it was part of some concession he had to make.  But I haven't quite figured out why yet.

If you look at a map (don't know if they even make globes anymore), you will see that Haiti is only half of an island ... the other half is the Dominican Republic.

What seperates the two countries?

A fence/gate system.

It sounded as if the Dominican Border guards opened the gate this weekend and 20,000 Haitans ran into their country without paperwork!

20,000!!!

But unlike the US, they gathered up as many as they could ... and ....

SHIPPED THEIR BUTTS BACK!

Yup - because the Dominican government realizes that while the majority of the people were actually good people looking to get away from the violence - there was a small portion which could easily be called ... undesirable.

The booted them out to MAINTAIN PEACE and LAW in their country.

Many of those who crossed the border ONLY did it to buy GROCERIES and other products which they can no longer get in Haiti ... but there were some who crossed to stay.

Their border wall is only 100 miles long ... and it is only 12 foot high ... but it has already stopped 80% of illegal border crossings.
The goal is to have the wall extend all the way along the border.

It sounds as if the gang violence has gotten so prevailant in Haiti, that children can't even go outside ...

So they cannot go to school
They cannot make friends outside their family
They cannot get exersize
They cannot socialize

It is like they are quarantined forever .... its really kind of sad.

But at what point should the UN or US step in to "help" ... and I say "help" because they tend to make things worse .... they just don't think things through all the way.

Right now, the main gang in charge of the country is being led by a guy they call "BBQ" ... 
He is an ex-cop who is known for setting people on fire if they don't do what he says!!
He's a nut case!

I feel for them, I really do.

and ... yes ... fear of life IS an Asyslum/Sancturary reason.

SO WHO DO WE TRUST THEN?

 Network news?  No

Candidates? No

Party Chiefs? No

White House? No

Congress? Not any more ....

It used to be that if you wanted to hear the truth, you could listen to a Congressional Hearing -- both sides are supposed to be represnted ... both sides are supposed to have an equal opportunity to gett their point across ... and in many cases, get to a truth ...

Well, this is now in question ...
Watch this video from Facts Matter on YouTube ...

This is not my video






ONE WORD ,,, WOW

Thats all I can say ...
I was watching Good Morning America (ABC) and they must figure Mr. Biden is in a bad spot, because they have rolled out the "machine" that got him elected last time.

And make no mistake -- I am NOT a Mr. Trump fan (I absolutely hate that he has open access to his own social media acct,s while in office ... please take those away this time) ... but this is really out of line.

The show began with a story on Mr. Trump and on his campaign ...
Besides the horrid snapshots of him with that goofy grimace/smile of his (it looks so bad) ... they clipped his words to the point where you could tell they didn't want the complete thought to come through.

It started with, what they called this weekend "a song" recorded Jan 6th prisoners, to now still be referred to as "a song" but they didn't, or couldn't, cut out that it was actually THE NATIONAL ANTHEM ...
and strictly speaking, I thought there was a law which states that once the anthem begins, you must play it all the way through ... but I could be wrong.

To hime "attacking" his teleprompter ... he did say he couldn't read the prompter ("this damned thing - this suckers moving around") because it kept moving around - I assume because of the wind, but they didn't mention that part.

To him saying he was going to "help out those who attacked the Capitol" ... what Mr. Trump said (according to their clip) was
"... the first day we get into office, we're gonna save our Country, their gonna work wih the people to treat those unbelievable patriots ..."
well, I have a feeling .... there was a LOT more to that speech ...
Why? Because the reporter then went on to say 1,350 people have been charged with the "assault" on the Capitol.  
Even the Nuremberg Trials only conficted 24 people!
While there were definitely several people who should have been charged -- I truly do believe that most of these 1000+ were simply caught up in "mob mentality" ... the same defense used by so many in the burning of LA in the 1990s, the riots in Baltimore, the George Floyd riots, the Black Out in 1968, etc. etc.

You can NOT have one set of rules for one group of people and a totally different set for another.

Wait ... I'm getting a tad off course here ... back to ABC News ....

The reporter said 770 people plead guilty ... but he did NOT say what they were actually charged with, nor if they took plea deals - and thatt 180 were convicted at trial ... that most likely are 180 who did NOT plead guilty ... the reporting leaves a LOT to be desired ... but apparently I have higher standards than ABC News.

They even jumped on Mr. Trump calling some of the people ("undocumented immigrants" according to the reporter)  crossing the Mexican border "animals" ... first off, can we simply call it the US-Mexican border??  
You know the United States is involved with the border, right??
and then they didn't even include a clip where he actuallh SAYS anything \ ... other than "radical left"

Wow ... its the ONLY word for it!

Sorry for mistpellings --- in the middle of packing and typing with gloves on ... don't ask

TEMPORARY CEASE FIRS????

 It is interesing that according to one reporter for CBS, the Israelis and Hammas may be talking about another Cease Fire - although just temporarily - so that Aide Trucks can get to the people who live in Gaza ... especially those up north, where very few trucks have been able to make it, before getting attacked by Hammas militants.

While air-drops have been used so far for up there - there is no proof that the food stuffs dropped have actually made it to the population ... there are rumors that Hammas has actually gathered it all up.

It seems like those asking for Special Elections for a new Israeli Prime Minister over there, are getting their information from angry family members of those who are still kidnapped...

Its been 5 monhs ... the US had our embassy in Iran held hostage fore over 2 years guys .... you need to understand ...

it. Takes.  TIME

Right now, Hammas doesn't really know what it wants any more.

And since Israel traded at a 10:1 ratio, Palestinian prisoners for Israeli hostage ... I'm going to guess that there aren't that many low-profile prisoners left.

Now its a question of, how bad a guy is your child worth?

Do you trade a "Dr. Mengela" for a 22-year old?  Do you release this guy to carry on?
Do you release a Hitler to save a grandma?

Thos are the choices which they have to think about now ...

This can NOT be easy ... and if you don't think so, then you didn't pay attention in your History class -- you better go study it all again.
Start from the very beginning.

Its a matter of a left-turn vs. a right-turn in many cases ...

Or better yet .... read Dr. Suess's book "All Because A Bug Went Ka-Choo"


THE VICE PRESIDENCY

 Okay - so according to the Constituation there are Term Limits on being President of the United States, there are all sorts of Limits actually:

You have to be within the US boundry for something like 15 months (continually) before running/becoming President ... 
You have to be no LESS THAN age 35 yrs old ... they wanted to make sure you actually had a life before you began to run the country.
You have to be born and American Citizen ... this is why Arnold Schwarzeneggar can not run ... 
And you can only run for 2 terms ... a term is 4 years long

But for the Vice President ... there is less than that, by ONE -- that last one.

You can be Vice President for any number of terms in your lifetime ... which means that technically speaking ...
Mr. Dick Cheney could have been the Vice President under both terms of Mr, Reagan, Mr. Bush #1, Mr. Bush #2, AND Mr. Trump
Just so long as he did NOT hold the offce of President within that time.

It is also stated, that if the Vice President takes over the seat of the Presidency for less than 1/2 of the term, then they can actually win the Presidency 2 more times.

This was to prevent a few things .... not the least of which was supposed to be a "puppet presidency" such as what Cuba kept going through untl the Puppet Master decided to show his face (Fidel Castro, hnest, I learned about it in college)

But since the role of the Vice Presidency was simply to lay about and wait for the President to become incapacitated and take over, if need be ... they NEVER SET TERM LIMITS on being Vice President.

Oh geez ...

This means, that if the Obama Era VP Picking system stays in play ... Ms. Harris will be VP under a democratic president  FOREVER!!!

Under the Obama VP Process, it was NOT to chose a Vice Presidency whom would likely carry-on your policies, it was definately NOT someone you liked ... it was purely someone the PEOPLE did NOT like ...

Mr. Biden was chosen as Mr. Obama's VP simply as a SAFETY NET to make sure he would never be assassinated -- NO ONE wanted a President Biden, at that time.

Had Biden ran for the presidency right after Obama, it is very likely he would have won hands down -- some sympathy votes, but mostly because he was a different guy than he is now.

He didn't need a giant Easter Bunny guiding him away from reporters ... he was must more coordinated ... he didn't turn to shake hands with someone who wasn't there ...

There are so many things which have popped up over these last 4 years .... its tough to list them all.

And it has NOTHING to do with AGE ...
It has EVERYTHING to do with MENTAL ACCUITY

These issues can occur at ANY age ... and its these issues which makes him seem "old and decrepit" ... and it reflects badly on America as a whole

He is worse than Mr, Reagan on his worst day .... the ony thing he doesn't have is Jill telling him what to say, the way Nancy did back in the day.

OOO - WHAT HE SAID!!!

 So I was watching Face the Nation (CBS) where the very first guest was Vice President Mike Pence (going to have to post on this later .... being a VP that is) .... and they were talking Mr. Trump

Of course they were.

Mr. Pence said that he does not endorse Mr. Trump and went into why he didn't/wouldn't do so ...
That's okay.
He talked about why he follows the agenda of former President Reagan -- if you have read my other posts you will know I have an issue with Mr. Reagan's Amnesty Act of 1982ish, a different post for this one - but the thing that got me ...

and trust me, I'm totally SHOCKED ....

During the interview, and trust me I checked for a gag, a supressed cough, a frog in the throat, any possible reason he did this ... found NONE ... 

Vice-President Mike Pence referred to Mr. Trump as ...

Mr. Drump

Now I'm thinking he kept the "r" in there just so he could claim he misspoke, it was in error, it gives just enough wiggle room.

But there wasn't any apparent reason for him doing so.

I never thought Mike Pence would slide to Mr. Trump's level ... wow

STRAIGHT FROM THE HOURSES' MOUTHS

 Ever wonder why the United States is in trouble with the world??
Because of statements like these:

Senator Chuck Schuemer:

"... Prime Minister Netanyahu has lost his way.  By allowing his political survival to take the precedance over the best interests of Israel ... (clipped) ... He has been too willing tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza ... (clipped) ... I new elebelieve a ction is the ony way to allow for a healthy and open decision making process about the future of Israel ..."

President Joe Biden:

" .... He (Schuemer) made a good speech and, ah, I think he, ah, expressed our serious concern shared by not only him but by many of our (unintelligable) ..."

Now remember - the vast majority of those of the jewish faith in the US tend to vote Democrat ...
This almost feels like the democrats are taking their votes for granted, just like they do the minority and union voters!

If you reversed the countries, that it was Israel saying that we shouldn't have gone after the Taliban after 9/11/01 ... and that the only way to fix it was to have a Special Election to switch leaders ...
You know we would have been all f-you, and "this isn't your country", etc.

I just think that Schuemer better tread lightly - this isn't the country he's working for .... and the one he's working for wants him to get the rest of the senate to pay attention to what's going on here instead of over there!

Am I the only one who thinks the democrats have become way too comfortable with their "voting block"?
I mean, even Mr. Biden said during the 2020 election, that if you didn't vote for him, you weren't really black.
So will this mean, that if you don't vote for the democrats you aren't really a woman?  or Jewish? or a Union supporter? or LGBTQ? or any other minority?

This is so wrong .... on so many levels ...

Look -- Hammas INVADED Israel
they killed people
they kidnapped people ... including WOMEN AND CHILDREN
and they continued to attack Isael.

Israel did what I think ANY other nation would have done... and then some, that is they negotiated to get quite a few of the hostages back ... BUT ... Hammas is refusing to return them all.
Israel has shown proof that Hammas has tunnels leading to civilian places where the terrorists try to blend in with the crowds of people.

I'm sorry ... but if Hammas was really worried about their people I think they would give back the hostages that are still alive and/or the bodies of those who are not.  PLUS, stay away from innocent civilians until this thing blows over.

But ... as you can see
Democrats only seem worried about listening to the Woke population of the US .... to heck with everyone else.

THIS IS INFURIATING

 So, YouTube has changed ....and I HATE IT ...

The people's videos are the same, they're fine

but in case you haven't noticed .... with the last computer update -- I have no idea why -- but there seems to be NO WAY to avoid commercials at the beginning of videos any longer ...

used to be that even the ones which did not have the "Skip" option, you could simply back out then pop back to jump them ... and they always had a banner on them which said you would NOT be able to skip it.

Now there is NO banner, and NO way to skip them ...
If you try to back out, it simpy restarts at the beginning.

I totally hate this.

There is also a "skip" banner which will show up -- on the video you are actually TRYING to watch, but it does ... NOTHING at all.

sigh

I'm hoping its just a glitch which will be fixed later on ... once the programmers heads clear from whatever program inhancer is their choice.

Until then ...

GRRRRRR!!!!!!!

AS EASY TO SEE AS A MACK TRUCK!!

 Wow!  I had a feeling it was going to go this way ... kind of

This is NOT my video, it is from Facts Matter on YouTube
And it looks like Fani Willis will stay on the Trump Reco case in GA ... for now ... because her padamore, Wade threw himself on the sword ... that is he resigned from the case - as far as we can tell.

Now Mr. Trump, along with the other defendants, could appeal the ruling which is letting her stay on the case ... which is likely to push it closer to Election day, and possibly causing a postponement until after the election, maybe - if he wins - until after 2029 when he officially leaves.

Even with a Presidential Pardon, if he can figure it out, since these are actually STATE charges instead of Federal, he will still have to face them ...
Unless for some strange reaso they get dropped ....
Which would fuel the speculation that they are/were politically motivated ...

We will see ...





NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ...

 If you are a child of the 70's the title will ring a bell ... it's from an old (well old now) show called Monty Python's Flying Circus ... most notably, the ensemble cast included several greats, but John Gleese (Sir John Gleese) was probably the most famous ...
He also appeared in anther BBC comedy series, Fawlty Towers, as well as the US film A Fish Called Wanda ... I truly encourage you to watch Fawlty Towers - its rough around the edges, not P.C. at all, but pokes fun at being totally British.

All this to say .... the Royals have made it to American news programs this morning.

Princess Catherine for the "scandal" surrounding photos she took and edited ... basically she played with photoshop to move a couple little things ... and since the press in the UK aren't getting the "original" photo they are stomping their feet.
Chances are - if the Princess is like many other amateur photographers - there likely is no longer an original, the doctored one having been "saved" over the top of the original.
Who knew this was going to cause such an uproar ....

Which leads me to the next bit ... the gal who has got to be loving it ... the Jan Brady of Royal Family -- Meghan Markle ....
The gal who totally decided she didn't have to take classes to learn to pour a cupI have of tea ... (insert eye roll here) ... has re-branded herself yet again.

Yes, she has now launched her new Instagram page ... with it new logo, name, stash of items for sale on the sight ... 
gag me now ...
I have seen a video on YouTube going over several problems with the sight ... from too pale of a logo, to the style of the logo itself, to the name, to a video which is supposed to encapsulate what the sight/brand is about ...
But then, there's no love loss between the Markles and the creator ...

oh, and I call them the "Markles" not out of any disrespect, simply because I don't know if Prince Harry has a real last name ... and to call them the Windsor's might get them mixed up with the other Royals.

Now ... to the brothers.

I remember in college believing that someday Harry would actually become the King of England, instead of William ...
When Harry and Meghan moved to Canada during the "virus which shall not be named", I thought for sure that it was a move to ensure that IF the Royal family had been infected, one of the two brothers would survive to carry on ...
But, alas, no

Instead, it is Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret all over again ... only Princess Margaret didn't have anyone whispering in her ear all sorts of horrid things the way Harry does.

It was a big day in the UK ... the Diana Award, I'm not sure exactly what they are about, but since it was named after the late Princess Diana - who died in an auto-accident in 1997 (I remember watching the breaking news when it hit the US cable networks).

Prince William showed up in person to give the award ... I mean, he was physically there.  Standing on stage.  Where people could see him, hear him, etc.

Prince Harry called it in ... literally ... via internet ... (insert eye roll) .... remember - he just LOST his case for making the monarchy pay for his security while in the UK.
The Courts said that since he is no longer a "working Royal", he would then fall under the same catagory as a visiting celebrity to the country.
That he, and his family, would fall along the same line as Taylor Swift or Mick Jagger or the kid that appeared in the "Harry Potter" movies ...k

So he phoned it in ... in a segment of the show which did NOT have his brother anywhere near it.

What a little baby!  He is very much like his father in this way.

Then its back to Princess Catherine ... she is still not made a true "public appearance" although she has been seen riding to appointments in cars ...
In the front seat with her mother ... in the backseat with William - but the scandal here was that they did NOT go to the smae appointment,

Princess Catherine went to a medical appointment - likely just a check up, people, no biggie - while Prince William had some Royal business to conduct ... have no idea what that was.

It doesn't really matter, really ... its all just gossip.

It has been said that Princess Catherine had issues with her other pregnancies, so I thought perhaps she had gone in for cervical stitches in hopes of stopping a miscarriage -- its an old technique, but is still occasionally performed - and it would explain the long bedrest/recovery period ... since it deals with the general area, it could still be called "abdominal" surgery.
Then I thought, maybe her uterus got tilted, or maybe her bladder got tipped - both very common after having children, and most women don't even know that it has occured for years after they've given birth ... it also is "abdominal" surgery and would have a long recovery.
The last thought I had was a hernia ... they are fairly easy to get, and life-threatening even while waiting for an operation to correct them.  
In the US we treat them as "outpatient", requires 2 tiny slits to be made, and about 2-4 weeks of recovery depending on how big it is.
I've no idea if they do it the old-fashioned way ... and since they have socialized medicine over there - it could very well be.

But ... any way you look at it ... its just fodder for the newspapers ... gossip sheets ... canary cage liners.

WORK AND THE CHURCH

Okay -- lets try this again .... I went totally off on a tangent last time ... I will try to keep it "on track" if I can.

There is a "new push" by Sen. Bernie Sanders to raise the hourly wage -- although he's taken a rather unique approach to it - in stead of actually increasing the pay per hour, he purposes keeping the weekly paycheck the same but lowering the number of hours worked.

For instance - if you earn $10/hour and work 40 hours a week
$10x40= $400/paycheck per week.

Under his new plan, a full tme work week would now only be 32 hours, but instead of the eqution being:
$10x32 = $320/paycheck per week
His equation would look more like ...
$400/32hours = $12.50/hour wages.

See what I mean?

There is a different senator ...
Chris Murphy (D-CT)
That thinks that by cutting hours, more people will go to church ...

He feels that people don't go to church because they simply don't have time ...
He doesn't seem to understand that MOST churches - at least the ones I know of, some of whom SHARE a minister - have several hours during the week.

Actually ... according to the reporter, attendance has dropped 20% from 25 years ago ... that would be either 1999 or 2000, depending how you count it, and that actually makes sense -- but not 25 years ago .... more like 22-23 years ago.

Church attendance is generally linked to "security" within our lives ... as well as how we were raised ...
If you were raised in a family which attended church, you are likely to continue that practice when you grow up.
If you were raised in family where you did not attend church every week, then chances are great you will not attend church as an adult either.
Also, if you have children, you are more likely to attend Wednesday night services, because in the protestant faiths, Wednesday seems to be a very common "Confirmation Instruction" day - doesn't really matter which domination, they just all seem to chose the middle of the week.

So let's set all that aside ... 

Then we have to set aside when you were born as well .... my parent were born just before the Great Depression - attendance was down in the 1920s when economics were good, jumped during the Great Depression.  It may have been the soup kitchens, or free gatherings but it didn't really matter - they had butts in the seats.
During World War 2, the men went off to war so only the women were left to do the work... food/cloths were rationed ... churches adapted, changed how often they offered services ... some even had free dinners after a service to put obdies in the seats.
During the 50s, things calmed down ... attendence fell, in general ... more women went to church than men ... a norm was set.
During the 60s ... again, another slip in atttendence ... until the killing of Kenneday and the Viet Nam war.  However, even though more people aged +30 yrs attended, fewer of the young folk did.
In the 1970s, attendence was so low that TIME magazine declared religion "dead" ... even during Inflation, attendence simply did not go up
and it pretty much stayed this way until Reagan became president, then for a few, it was cool again ... but still, no huge jump.
in 2001, the jump came - but what a price to pay - after 9/11 most church's experienced Standing Room Only capacity ... and then Hurricane Katrina hit - that put people back into the pews as well.

But then the Internet and Social Media reared it ugly head ...
And THAT is why people aren't going to church for the most part.

Even during the "virus which shall not be named" was running ramplant - people COULDN'T go to church ... it was hard to sit 6 ft apart and do what was common within a service.

I have no proof ... but I'm going to guess that even if we had a 3 day work week - 4 day weekend - people still would NOT attend church services.

So here's my question for Senator Murphy ...
During Memorial Day, Labor Day wekkends 
Guarantied 3 day weekends, at least for the vast majority of those effected by this proposal
Does church attendance go UP? or does it REMAIN THE SAME?

I'm going to guess, it stays the same.

One thing NO ONE is talking about ...

It will cause PRICES TO RISE ...
because businesses/companies will still have to have someone covering those work hours just the same ... only now they will have to pay 2 or more employees to cover it.

Also - the pay chaecks listed above do NOT have any taxes, social security, health insurance, 401K, or any other deductibles taken out ...

And if you are working a lower wage job - it is even LESS likely to effect you, because those jobs are generally Part-Time jobs which are LESS THAN 32-hours a week as it is.

Nor does it ask the question of, If you work 32 hours NOW, will this then make you a Full Time employee?
And if it does, how likely is your employer to keep yiu if they must now suddenly offer you Full TIme benefits??

There's a LOT that they simply have not even considered here.

Did I mention that Sen. Sanders feels that companies can simply "fill in the gaps" of not having an employee there for that 8 hours with AI??

Yep -- Mr. Sanders is AVOCATING to give jobs to Artificial Intelligence!!

Go figure.

But then ... the more people dependant on the government, the more people who seen to vote democrat ... I don't get it ...
but then ...
I'm a different generation ...
or maybe I was just raised differently.

Pray for this generattion ...
they can't even get a McDonald's order correct ...
What will our future hold??

BUT WILL YOU CHARGE THEM WITH A CRIME?

 So NYC is planning on using the state's National Guard inforce the law in the subway system ... so they say

Houwever when the story first broke, they said that part of the National Guards duties in the subway was to check people's bags for weapons ...

Hello - can we say 4TH AMENDMENT VIOLATION

After all, the National Guard does not have the same training as a pokice/peace officer, nor do they have the 4th Amendment override authority ....

4th Amendment, for those unfamiliar, is the one which deals with "Search and Seizure" of a person and/or person property.

Its what makes the police have to have a warrent to search you, your home, your car, your dog, your garbage (unless its on the curb for pick up), etc.

There are very few exceptions to the Amendment - if they are chasing a criminal and he runs into your house and they arrest him there, and you have drugs sitting out in plain sight -- you can be arrested even though you were not the original criminal.

If the police see you reaching into your pocket in a threatening manner - say in the middgle of an argument - they can assume you are going for a weapon and take you down.

The question is -- how do these things get transferred to the National Guard??

Members of the Guard are taught if you think someone has a weapon, take them down - without prejudice, pick up the pieces later ... 

Remember when the guy took down the guy on the subway who was shouting and threatening harm (at least that's what some people said, others said he didn't) ... the guy who took him down was a member of the military.
He took him down in basic, typical military style -- choke hold.

They CHARGED HIM!  He did what he was trained to do -- neutralize the situation  and deal with the fall out ... 

So if this happens in the subways ... what will happen?

This is NOT the reason the Natinal Guard was created.

They were created to deal with military actions within the US borders, each state and DC has their own National Guard units, the governmors of those states control when/where their units are deployed.
When National Guard is sent overseas, the governors have pledged their troops for use by the US to use as forces.
This way, the US did not have to have as many full-time, career, regular military forces ... I want to say this began under President Clinton, but it might have been under President Carter.

Either way -- it is NOT what they are trained for.

Police/Peace Officers are trained to deal with civilians
Military are trained to deal with combatants.

I just don't want us to have a really bad situation in America, which will put the Woke Folk on their heels, screaming that some 18 year old be thrown into jail, for doing what he was trained to do.

Do you know why they DRILL?

So it becomes Second Nature .... that is, they won't hesitate ... they won't panic ... they don't have to think of what to do ... it puts a "muscle memory" in place ...
It actually is not unusual for a soldier not to recall exactly how they did something, just that it was done.

And in the military - you WANT THAT ... but on the streets, not quite so much.

I feel a new situation coming on, like they had in MN during the protests.
People were told to get into their homes, they stayed on the porch, they were shot with rubber bullets - and now the NatGuard has lawsuits up the ying-yang ...

I do not think this is a situation any 18-21 yr old shuld be put into.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

 I am totally pissed ... and I'm pretty sure a vast majority of Americans are going to be pissed too  IF they hear what has happened now!

During the State of the Union speech, Mr. Biden (not even sure I'm going to be able to call him President again in this post, I'm so upset) called the man who "allegedly" killed LAKEN - Mr. Biden called her, "Lincolm" during the speech, but I can accept that, Laken is an unusual name - oh now I can't remember her last name ...
Any howk, he called the man an ILlegal

Oh a grumble arose immediately from the "Woke" crowd ... it flew across the majority of the media ... It caused quite the ruckus ...

And instead of saying something along the lines of 'I call them as I see them' or 'well that IS what he is' or even 'That's what's upsetting you?'

No ... he APOLOGIZED on National television during an interview on MSNBC ....

Not for allowing the guy to cross the border to begin with ...
Not for allowing the guy to move from town to town to avoid being deported
Not for mispronouncing her name

He apologized for calling him an ILLEGAL

WHAT?????????????????

I mean, c'mon!  

He's might be an "undocumented worker" .... he might be some Woke version of a "migrant" .... but he IS an ILlegal!!!!  Even MORE SO since he has commited several crimes while in the United States ... and that's NOT including this particularly horrid crime!

Oh My Goodness ...

Can we simply call a spade a spde and not a "digging impliment" or a "shovel" just ONCE!

Holy Crap -- can we get these people OUT of office ....

PLEASE????

And I think we better take a very close look at our Education system .... after all .... they are the ones turning out this bunch ....

might explain why there is so much more "mental health" issues these days as compared to when I was in school ....

SCHOOL LUNCHES = $176 MILLION OVER BUDGET

 So - why is it that it seems like Democrats just can't get their math right?  This totally explains the school systems.

When fmr. President Obama (remember, he has had 2 terms, can't run anymore) ... when he was fighting for his "Affordable Care Act" aka ObamaCare ... Sen. Paul Ryan, speaker of the House, tried to tell him that he was double counting, that the math was way off, and that it was going to cost MORE to people than they figured - he was poo-poo'd and hushed (as much as they could) .... and then - tada - it turned out that they had in fact misdid the math, and it was going to cost people more.

Same with Minnesotas Free Lunch Program ... people told them that it was going to cost way more than the government had figured ... my personal thought was that they didn't take into account the actual price of the food going up, but apparently its not even that.

The Governor, Mr. Tim Walz, is ticked off at the legislators because they want to end the program after this school year (at least that's the way he makes it sound) in order to keep from putting the education system in a deeper hole, to keep the state from going "bankrupt" -- okay, its not that bad, but it isn't a little amount either.

$176 MILLION

That's no small budget.

He said:
    "Your first thought on a budget stretching across the state, and your first thought was we needed to cut school meals - I would re-evauate why you're in the legislature!"

My feeling is .... you have a surplus during a time when people are struggling to pay bills and instead of refunding the money to those who OVERPAID in the first place .... your first thought was "Let's Spend It!!!" .... 

I think YOU should re-evaluate why YOU are in the Governorship!

Under Walz, the stte budget has gone from a surplus to a DEFICIT  of $1.5 BILLION by 2027 (they aren't even taking into account expanding population)

Sigh.

I hate it when people spend our money for things they want ... it such a SCAM.
