Bonkers, Blather, Blunders & Buffoons #40
According to a recent Gallup Poll, 52% of Americans (that’s a majority for all of we “garbage” types) “feel worse off today than four years ago.” And that includes feeling better off even during the pandemic year! Forty-six percent of Americans rated economic conditions under the current barely visible administration as ‘poor.’ And 62% of us feel the economy is “getting worse.” Those are clearly not expressions of “joy,” but what the heck can they expect coming from folks apparently living out here in trash cans.
And still more cheery news. We could well see perhaps “hundreds of thousands” of illegal migrants storm our southern border just before, and on, election day! Weary of seeing mobs of illegals streaming into American in front of TV news cameras every day, this America-Last administration decided to reportedly make a deal with Mexico to detain wave after wave of approaching illegals in the southern part of their country, with the government likely paid off big time, then letting them freely head north to America as our election draws near. There are so many common sense and responsible reasons to vote for Candidate Trump. Stopping repeat invasions of our country like this is a prominent one!
And remaining with the subject of the migrant disaster, an additional major problem involves the large number of unaccompanied minor children (ages 5 – 17) arriving at our border. These migrant children are said to often bring with them a piece of paper with the home phone number of a relative living in the U.S.! Unaccompanied kids (unless Mexican) are transferred to the Department of HHS which will then attempt to locate relatives. “The estimated cost of detaining migrant children is more than one-billion-dollars annually.” The number of such children crossing our southern border has “skyrocketed” under Biden-Harris. “In fiscal year 2020, less than16,000 unaccompanied migrant children needed placement services from DHHS. That number grew to more than 120,000 in just the first year under the administration of Biden-Harris. The border has got to be sealed shut for the preservation and future of our great country. And that will never happen under Ultra-Liberal leadership. Vote as if your future life in responsible freedom and security depends on it, because, as you well know by now, it clearly does!!
Then there’s the issue in the shadows called ‘reparations.’ In theory, this would provide some level of payment to minorities whose lineage can actually be traced back to slavery. This is presumably to help make up for economic and educational disadvantages faced through the generations due to those in slavery here several centuries ago. The danger here is that individuals who cannot claim slavery kinship could end up being included which would greatly expand the cost to taxpayers and be unfair to those who might have a valid historic relatives claim. If done on a national vs. state level, the cost could easily go into the trillions of dollars, per stated estimates. A handful of states have explored the reparations idea, but so far none have acted. Candidate Harris has stated publicly: “It has to be studied. There’s no question about that.” As with most every other issue presented to her, she refuses to answer the question directly. You can draw your own conclusion about which way she goes if elected. In the face of a national debt already bursting at the seams, Liberal Democrats spend as if there is no tomorrow. But there is, when that multi-trillion-dollar debt finally comes due. There simply must be spending restraint to keep America solvent.
As of last month, the federal, states and local governments in America had a total of 23,421,000 employees (14.7% of total U.S. non-farm employees). That number, by the way, is a new record! Often when you read of employment increasing in our nation, a hefty percentage of those new hires go to work for the government at some level (and very often, of late, the jump in civilian jobs are for part-time employment). To put government employment in perspective, “only California and Texas have populations that exceed the number of people who worked for government in America.” Keep the ever-growing government share of employees in mind the next time the administration and their media bunkmates brag about increased employment numbers in the nation. P.S.: U.S. job openings in October were the lowest they’ve been in the last 3 1/2 years! Strange heading into the holiday season. Would seem to indicate that while overall hiring may be down, retention of employees may be up. And we must remember that, more and more, too many illegal migrants are taking the jobs that are open and should go to Americans.
The New York Post Editorial Board recently published an editorial titled: “Kamala Harris fumbles Hurricane Milton response because she doesn’t truly care.” While that may seem stark or harsh, the fact remains that she has yet to reveal herself to be a true patriot, someone who genuinely values America and the American way of life. Overall, she seems to indicate that America is not #1 on her mind and in her heart. That space appears to be reserved for progressive-socialist political control, woke elites, and attention to personal desires and goals. As to what she truly cares about, let’s never have to find out, by voting to elect Donald Trump!
When it comes to police in America, rather than “defund” them, the vast majority of our citizens prefer to support, encourage, and honor them. Regrettably for the objective of peace within our communities, police work has become an ever more dangerous occupation during the Biden-Harris years. So far this year (through August), more than 260 officers have been shot (37 killed). And that comes out to “one officer shot every 22-hours in America.” With reference to these unconscionable statistics, Fraternal Order of Police VP Joe Gamaldi responded: “The causes are obvious. A revolving door criminal justice system, 85% of cop killers have been arrested before, 71% are convicted felons, and because some politicians, media and activists realized there was a dollar to be made by trafficking anti-police rhetoric, effectively working to convince the American public that we (law enforcement) are the enemy.” Some citizen pressure is emerging to stop the “defund” movement due to the staggering increase in crime in too many communities. We need to, somehow, bring back respect for our nation’s police officers so that we can return to the primarily safe and secure status for our families across America.
According to the latest Gallup Poll, 36% of respondents indicated that “they had no trust at all in the media”, said to be an all-time overall low. However, and this won’t surprise you, Democrats “have a 54% confidence that what they are getting from the news is accurate.” Understandable, since they are being fed exactly what they want to hear, politically. Thus, the current uproar, resignations, and subscription cancellations at the Washington Post newspaper, because the billionaire owner decided not to endorse VP Harris this year, after decades of doing so for Democrat presidential candidates in the past. The owner has actually called for the hiring of some conservative reporters presumably to strive for at least some political balance. If it pans out that way, great news for the restoration of some trust in the current liberal inclination of at least one major metropolitan newspaper.
And now for a closing item that might appeal to those on the other side of the Milky Way, those who tend to tell you about allegedly growing up middle-class in a neighborhood where the greatest source of personal pride was the look of their pristine front lawn, and those who were repeatedly unable to respond to a direct question, without first telling you in detail how the earth was formed, and who are thus quite likely to have a very high cranial ratio of bone to brains. One case, it appears, might be that of U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi during her discussion on a recent “CBS Sunday Morning” telecast. Speaking about Mr. Biden’s decision not to run for re-election, she said that “he was in a good place to make whatever decision, top of his game. Such a consequential President of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of a U.S. President.” The broadcast host then pursued that seeming over-the-top comment: “Are you saying that he (Biden) belongs up there on Mount Rushmore?” Pelosi responded: “You got Teddy Roosevelt up there and he is wonderful. I don’t say take him down, but you could add Biden.” Oh, my goodness. Thinking back to the bone-to-brain ratio, this elected Democrat U.S. Representative seems to have flown off the rails with the thought that Mr. Biden, considered by some to have been perhaps one of the worst U.S. presidents in American history, could somehow merit placement on Mount Rushmore, alongside some of our nation’s historically great presidential leaders. That is the kind of politically distorted reasoning that we, at long last, need to usher out of the White House and Congress. And if the vast majority of Americans who truly love our country and are legitimately concerned about our safety and the future of freedom, vote Republican, in the overwhelming numbers we hope for, then the bone-to-brains ratio at the top of both federal branches will immediately reverse as of Day One!
