Free Us From the Filibuster!!

 I was going to go with a more "earthy" title, but I didn't want Google to have to put a warning label on another blog post of mine. 

The federal government has been "shut down" for almost six weeks now and it's time for this crap to end. I just want somebody to justify the actions of 45 Democrats and Socialists and the damage that those actions have caused. 

I checked my US Constitution Pocket Guide and there is no provision for the Senate filibuster. If they can create it in the Senate, they can modify it and/or eliminate it in the Senate. They have already eliminated the filibuster for nominees for federal appointments. 

Donald Trump is right about one thing in this discussion. That is that the Democrats will eliminate the filibuster when they want to pass controversial legislation so the Republicans should just go ahead and end it now. They can start by ending it on bills that will result in a government shutdown. 

For more than 100 years U.S. Senators were elected by the state legislatures. Then we changed that to popular election. Essentially today, the Senate is just the House with longer terms. The whole notion that the Senate is somehow a group of older, wiser legislators is simply a bad joke on the public. 

Senators like to talk about the history of the Senate and the wise men who have worked there. That's simply an attempt to put lipstick on a pig. Let me be kind, Senators. What have you done for us lately? The military and government employees aren't getting paid. Thanksgiving travel may soon be cancelled. What's the level of wisdom in that?

Senators like to think and act like that they are some kind of august body of worldly geniuses. In reality, they are simply the 21st Century version of the Little Rascals and their "He-Man Woman Hater's Club". And yes, I am including the female Senators in that group. They may actually be worse than the men.

Right now, our government is shut down because the Democrats in the Senate want to get $1.5 trillion dollars in spending reinstated that they lost earlier this year. During the contrived COVID crisis, they passed legislation giving their voters financial assistance in paying for their insurance under the poorly named and damned near fraudulent Affordable Care Act. The Democrats scheduled those payments to end on December 31, 2025. Now, they want to extend that despite the fact that the whole COVID crisis is history. Only cockroaches can live longer than government programs. So, like pouting children, Democrats are holding their breath and claiming that they will kill themselves if we do not continue those payments. We need to stop spending our tax money to help Senators and Representatives get elected. Buy your own election!!

Simple question, if it is "Affordable Care", why do we need to subsidize it for them? Beyond that, why do we need to shut down the government in October for something that doesn't expire until December 31? This is Trump Derangement Syndrome at work in your Congress, America.

How can we eliminate these government shutdowns? First, let's reduce the benefits of being a US Senator. When government employees are being paid, neither should legislators. Second, let's cut the perks for being a Senator. I have visited the offices of several Senators, and they are much nicer than the offices of almost every private business that I have ever seen. Third, let's limit Senators to a single term. If you can't get it done in six years, pack it in. Six years in the "He-Man Woman Haters Club" should be enough for anyone.

As long as we are working on Congressional reform, let's limit House members to three terms. The idea that our representatives become more effective with experience is easily disproven with a quick glance at the operation of the government. Yesterday, Nancy Pelosi announced that she is retiring next year at the end of forty years in the House. She now has a net worth of over $300 million. She claims that she and her husband never talk about investments and that he gets no "inside information". All of those stock trades just before government actions were announced is just coincidence. 

All of these side rants bring me back to the subject at hand. It's time for the Republicans to end the filibuster on federal spending bills and put the government back to work. Trump can't run for another term, so he thinks this is a good idea. If Senators could not run for another term, they would think so too.

X marks the spot?

 On the days when I don't feel like writing a post here on Blogger, I share a few thoughts and/or insults on X. Here's a collection of quick thoughts from yesterday.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is demanding that Democrats reopen the federal government so that they can bail out New York City when it fails under Communism. It will only take a few weeks.

Democrats outnumber Republicans in NYC, Virginia and New Jersey. Why are they acting like it is such a big deal that they won an election? Call me when you win in South Carolina!!

Does yesterday's election and the results prove anything? Yes, it proves that people are stupid. It also establishes the need for voter ID and probably even returning to literacy tests for voters.

Democrats in Virginia just elected an Attorney General who fantasized about killing his opponent and the opponent's small children.  These are the same folks who call Trump names for trying to deport criminals. We need a 12-step program for Democrats.

If Donald Trump could not carry Virginia and New Jersey, did Winsome and Jack ever really have a chance?

Having been elected Governor, will Mikie Sherill now tell us how she made six million dollars trading defense stocks while in the House? At least, tell us why they didn't let her walk with her class at Naval Academy graduation.

U-Haul announced this morning that their 2025 Man of the Year award is going to Zohran Mamdani. The award goes to the person or entity who does the most to stimulate business at U-Haul. Congratulations to Zohran!!

Memo to Mamdani: What is your Plan B when the rich respond to new taxes by leaving New York City?

Nobody woke up in Florida this morning and said, "Honey, we can move back to New York City now."

Will the last American out of New York City please bring the flag??

Dimocrats are trying to extort 1 1/2 trillion dollars from taxpayers to reopen the government.  The Affordable Care Act is a joke. They called it the Affordable Care Act because "Let's Screw the Taxpayers Act" was just too honest.

Having seen Nancy Pelosi's latest rant online, it's a good time to start that mandatory retirement age for Congress. She's in the final throes of death by Trump Derangement Syndrome. Damn, I was sure that Hillary or Whoopi would go first!

Wouldn't it be cheaper for the New York City taxpayers if Mamdani just stayed in his subsidized apartment and didn't move into Gracie Mansion? Or should Trump offer him a free place in one of his buildings??

Would a real socialist live in Gracie Mansion at the expense of the poor taxpayers?? You know the answer. Hell Yes!!!!!

There's got to be a morning after?

 My apologies to Maureen McGovern for citing the song from the Poseidon Adventure but it fits the day after an election that a few places had yesterday. The results were expected but you still have to hold out hope for a return of basic intelligence. It didn't happen.

Does yesterday's election and the results prove anything? Yes, it proves that people are stupid. It also establishes the need for voter ID and probably even returning to literacy tests for voters. 

In the interest of full disclosure, which I really don't care about, I have never been to New York. To be honest, I have never even wanted to go to New York. Working for the Waffle House in Florida, I met and experienced enough New Yorkers to know that I didn't want to go there. 

Here's everything you need to know about New Yorkers. At the Waffle House in Tampa in 1973, we had a waitress who was from Pennsylvania. Her name was Grace Swank. One night, some customer was giving her a hard time about something he was trying to order. She told him, "You don't have to be rude!" He responded, "I'm not rude, I am from New York." Another Yankee pearl of wisdom. Whenever I hear Chuck Schumer speak, I wonder if he was that guy.

In New York City, the traffic jams on I-95 heading south are already starting this morning. There's no need to wait for the collapse of civilization to get out of Dodge or New York City. Yes, the city that never sleeps is obviously in some kind of stupidity induced coma. It's too late to stage an intervention, they are going to need to work through those twelve steps for themselves.

After 250 years of freedom, New Yorkers have decided to give Communism a spin. Don't waste your time telling me that it is Democratic Socialism and not Communism. At the danger of paraphrasing a Shakespeare quote, " A Turd by any other name would smell as foul." You can call it anything you want, it is still Communism.

How stupid are Yankees? As a student of the American Civil War, this is a question that I have spent my entire life getting ready to answer. "I love stupid people" is a recurring theme over the last twenty years that I have spent scrawling out these pearls of wisdom. So, here are a few starting points to consider.

Mamdani has exactly zero experience in management. At the age of 34, he has never held a real job. There are claims that he had a brief, but failed career as a rapper. He was elected to the New York state legislature where he failed to vote more than 75% of the time. A guy who can't get hired as a clerk at the Dollar Tree is about to become the Mayor of America's largest city. What could possibly go wrong?

As a politician, Mamdani realizes the appeal of "free shit" to the masses. What he hasn't figured out is how to pay for the afore mentioned "free shit." I guess this may turn out to be the best example of "robbing Peter to pay Paul" that we have ever seen. Mamdani may try to charge people a tax to leave New York City.

What are the "free busses" going to look like? Nobody is paying to ride, so what's the motivation to provide good service or clean busses? You get what you pay for, and busses will be free.

Mamdani thinks that the police are evil and wants to send social workers out on domestic calls. There is a role for social workers in resolving issues, but to send them to an active incident is going to raise the body count in NYC. "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight."

Mamdani wants the city to open grocery stores. I am certain that Mamdani has no idea of how thin the profit margins are in the grocery business. Please direct me to any retail business that is operated by the government at a profit. They just don't exist. They won't exist when Mamdani is the mayor either. I want them to open grocery stores just so we can see how the Communists will deal with shoplifters.

What's the best thing about Mamdani? He was born in Uganda, so he can't be legally elected President. But since Obama has offered to mentor him that may not be an obstacle. Obama may be able to help him get another birth certificate or the Dims could amend the Constitution. 

New York City has been the financial center of the United States and maybe the world for the last couple of centuries. That's all about to end. You don't need to go to New York for financial transactions. You can do all of that on your phone or for us old guys, on your computer. Why put up with New York City if you don't have to do that? Broadway shows go on tour and the Yankees and Mets play road games. The Jets and Giants play in New Jersey anyway. There are more New York delis in Miami than we need. Let's move the Statue of Liberty to a more welcoming location which would be almost anywhere but California.

For those of you who insist on doing your financial transactions in person, Texas is getting ready to open a stock exchange there. They are calling it "Y'all street." The Yankee monopoly on financial transactions is ending.

Memo to the last American out of New York: Bring the flag!!

Monday Moans and Meaness?

 Eric Swalwell is more than run of the mill stupid. He's that special kind of stupid that people always talk about in whispers. My wife says that I have absolutely no concept of "whisper", so we are starting from there. Swalwell wants every Democratic presidential candidate to promise to take a wrecking ball to the ballroom that Trump is building at the White House. I can't believe that he stopped balling that Chinese spy long enough to check the news and find out about the ballroom. 

We claim to be the greatest nation on earth, but if you come to a large dinner at the White House, it's held in a tent out in the back yard. It must be a little tough to eat with the odors wafting into the tent from the Porta-Jons out back. Yet Swalwell thinks that is a better look for our country than a $275 million ballroom paid for by private funds. Maybe Eric should get an opinion from his Chinese spy/whore? It won't help. Democrats don't understand "private" funding. They believe that taxpayers must pay for everything.

In 1957, President Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne to Little Rock to enforce a Supreme Court decision about school integration when the state refused to do that. In Chicago, the mayor doesn't want to allow ICE to enforce federal immigration laws in the city. Trump needs to send an army division to Chicago to enforce federal laws. If the mayor objects, jail his ass first!! Leave room in that cell for Governor Prickster.

I can't be the only guy in the country who thinks that we are on the cusp of the Second Civil War in the United States. Only this time, all of the roles are reversed.

The northern states are all screaming about "states' rights". Have any of these schmucks actually read a US history book? The southern states claiming that they had special "states' rights" was the cause of the first Civil War.  More than 150 years ago, it was Yankees criticizing slavery and today those same states have their own version of slavery and indentured servants with the illegal aliens flooding the nation. Listen to Nancy Pelosi talk about how we need "those people" to pick our crops, clean our homes and take care of our children. Nancy Pelosi is just Scarlett O'Hara with massive breast implants and a drinking problem.

Yankees were opposed to slavery 160 years ago but today they are okay with paying illegal immigrants less than minimum wage to do Nancy's dirty work. I am going to need an explanation of this concept because it sure sounds a lot like the slavery that O'Hara Pelosi practiced at Tara. Apparently, they moved Tara to San Fransico.

Is Gavin Newsome going to attack a US fort in his state like South Carolina did to start the first Civil War? Will it be Camp Pendleton? Somebody needs to tell Greasy not to start with the Marine base. Is Governor Greasy going to raise an army to keep California, Oregon and Washington as "immigrant owning states"? California, Oregon and Washington will form the COW Republic. If I have to explain the COW thing, log off now.

The northern states have a better deal with immigrants than we do. When the courts decided that illegals should be counted in the census, they decided that states with lots of illegals would have more representation than those states with fewer illegals. The states get more Federal money with more illegals. It's not enough to cover what it actually costs to keep them up, but they don't care. If they want all of those illegals in California, they are going to need another gold rush. 

Should the feds have gone with the old counting slaves as 3/5 of a person technique used before the Civil War concept and done that with illegals? Maybe that would slow the demand for illegals in Chicago.  It's hard to believe that the "Land of Lincoln" is one of the states leading the charge for modern slavery in the United States. 

Good News!! That's all for today!!

Signs of the Times??

More than fifty years ago at the Waffle House on Dale Mabry in Tampa, we had a sign hanging by the front door that read, "No shirt, No shoes, No Service". I replaced it with sign that I bought that read, "No shirt, No Brains, No Service". It was there a little more than a month before our Area Manager saw it one day and suggested that I put the old sign back into place. I pointed out that if only one person in five weeks had noticed the sign, we didn't need it anyway.

Democrats are outraged that Trump is building at the White House. Where was this outrage when Democrat Bill Clinton was getting blow jobs in the Oral Office? Attention Dims!! You should call back when you are serious about the integrity of the White House.

How about that Rep. Mikie Sherill of New Jersey who is running for the Governor of the Garden State? She must be one hell of a farmer. She appears to have made between six and seven million dollars trading defense stocks while she served on the House Armed Services Committee. Who does this broad think that she is?? Nancy Pelosi?

People who are screaming about Donald Trump commuting the sentence of George Santos were strangely quiet when Biden pardoned his entire family in the closing hours of his term.

Gov. Prickster of Illinois said that if "Trump comes for my people, he has to come through me."  One would think that the Governor of the Land of Lincoln would have a better understanding of how the FIRST War Between the States started. Is round 2 coming, Gov. Prickster?

Are New York City Dims "dirt dumb" or "rock stupid"? We won't know until Election Day. You have been smoking your shorts if you think that Cuomo is going to save the city!!

Trump should issue a pardon of Sean Combs, and have it signed by the Auto Pen. How many minutes will it take for Democrats to file a lawsuit claiming that practice is illegal?

Cuomo claims that Sliwa needs to drop out for Cuomo to have a chance in the race.  If EVERYONE supporting Sliwa voted for Cuomo, he still wouldn't win.  You can't beat the false promise of unlimited free shit!! As a Dimocrat, surely Cuomo knows that! Free Shit For All!!!

The Dims need billions to bail out the Affordable Care Act users. So, what about the ACA is actually affordable? This was one of the biggest con jobs in history.

Zohran Mamdani has been voted Man of the Year for what he is doing for real estate sales by the Florida Realtors Association. The "Mamdani Effect" is a sea of moving trucks and limos on I-95 heading south. It's resulting in great business for the Waffle Houses along that road. I let a friend at the Waffle House know where he can order those "No Brains, No Service" signs.

Thoughtful and/or Thoughtless Thursday

 The same liberals who are claiming that Trump acts like a king are the same folks who kept claiming that Biden was "as sharp as a tack". I will just be polite and point out that they are the victims of low IQ thinking. Or they were just being Democrats, if that's any different.

I think that it was Greg Gutfeld on Fox who pointed out that if Trump is acting like a king, why can't he open the government?

Saturday is the big "No Kings" rally where Trump haters will all gather to yell at each other and try to convince themselves that they aren't really retards or lunatics. Good luck folks!!

The federal government can easily shut down the "No Kings" riot in DC this weekend by jamming cell phone service in the area. Nobody is going to protest if they can't take pictures of themselves and their fellow schmucks protesting.

We can cut crime, protests, stupid deaths and accidents by banning "smartphones". The average IQ will soar if people have to start doing their own thinking.

Kameltoe Harris claims that "some people say" that she was the best qualified person ever for the Presidency. She needs to help her friends give up drugs. 

I started a post about No Kings Day for publication on Saturday. I titled it Kings vs Kunts. You will find out on Saturday if I decide to publish it. Frankly, there are a lot of government officials who acted like kings during COVID. How about Gov. Roy Cooper who had an 888-day state of emergency in North Carolina. Maybe we can find out more about that during his campaign for the US Senate?

Hamas claims that they don't know where the rest of the dead hostages are buried. I believe that nineteen people are still unaccounted for as of today. Israel needs to grab 19 Hamas members and start executing one a day until Hamas remembers where they put all those people. It's not like Hamas members buried some Israelis and forgot where. Tell me one that I can believe, guys.

There's a debate tonight with the New York City mayoral candidates. If you live in New York City and vote for Mamdani, you can move to the front of the moron line and pass Kameltoe Harris. Yes, you are really that stupid. If you are Jewish and vote for Mamdani, go ahead and leave town before the camps open.

The United States Constitution makes no provision for the Federal Reserve Board to be an independent branch of government. So, we either need to eliminate the Federal Reserve or put it under the President's control. Frankly, we all get screwed enough by our local bankers that we don't need the Federal Reserve doubling down on us. 

John Bolton was indicted today about handling of Top Secret documents. Did the FBI search his wife's underwear drawer??

The FBI is reportedly circulating photos of Letitia James in Virginia to find out if any of her neighbors have ever seen her at her second home. It's not looking good for Auntie Tish and her alleged criminal grandniece who seems to be living there. By her grand jury testimony, it's a rent-free experience. Wonder why? Is it really a relative? 

Trump needs to remind those arrogant bastards in the European Union that if not for the United States, they would all be speaking German today.

I saw a video clip with Democrats questioning Trump's physical condition. One of those idiots was Gov. Prickster of Illinois. The height of arrogance is Gov. "Lard Ass" Prickster questioning anyone's physical condition. It's like Biden calling someone "demented".

Wednesday Wonders and Blunders

 The American Automobile Association has released the results of a poll where Alec Baldwin was voted the man least likely to be invited to join a carpool.

Newsweek has been a second-rate magazine as far back as I can remember. Incredibly enough, they have pulled off a minor miracle and are now a third-rate magazine. I would rather read a sixty-year-old Weekly Reader from my school days than even look at a picture of Newsweek. 

An opinion piece in Newsweek proclaimed, "The Shutdown is Going Better Than Democrats Expected." They must have had incredibly low expectations.

Governor JB Prickster of Illinois continues to wow us with his massive intellect weight. He claims that Border Patrol agents could be charged with crimes after Trump is no longer president. Prickster is obviously some kind of massive mental midget. Make no mistake about it, Trump is President because you dumb bastards in the Democratic party thought that you could prosecute him until he gave up running for President. If you think that you will prosecute Border Patrol agents and live to tell about it, there's a strong possibility that you are wrong. Wrong again, Jocko Botsi!!

Update!! The AAA has issued a warning for hitchhikers to avoid getting into a car with Alec Baldwin driving. It would be better to catch a ride with the garbage truck.

Speaking of garbage trucks, I will post a piece praising the first reporter who has the stones to ask Alec Baldwin how the garbage truck involved in his accident compared to Trump's garbage truck from the campaign. Is Trump's garbage truck bigger than Baldwin's garbage truck? Did Trump's garbage truck have features that Baldwin's truck lacked? Was Baldwin's garbage truck on the way to a shooting range? Details, we want details!!

My first real job was as a drink vendor at Tampa Stadium for football games. If elected, Zohran Mamdani's first real job will be the mayor of America's largest city. If you are a New Yorker, I will go ahead and break it to you. There's trouble ahead!!

The assistant manager at your favorite local fast-food establishment has had more management training than Zohran Mamdani has experienced. Mamadi can't even spit out, "Do you want fries with that?"

Moving companies and U-Haul are all excited by the surge in business coming if Mamdani is elected. Real estate prices in Florida are soaring in anticipation of the surge of Yankees headed south.

A group of Dimocratic congressional representatives protested at the Speaker of the House's office today.  When your elected congressional representative shows up with professionally printed protest signs, you are tipping off the rest of us that this is a manufactured issue. 

Joe Biden was President for four years, why weren't Dims screaming for Epstein file releases then?

Latitia James needs to read the handwriting on the wall. Letting your criminal relative live rent free in your "investment property" was probably not a good idea.

I am not a big believer in polls, but if we polled Americans about Jack Smith's future, the prevailing sentiment would be that he needs to be prosecuted for trying to overthrow the government.

Rather than deny that he broke the law, James Comey claims that the US Attorney was not legally employed. Comey lost any shred of credibility when he "found" those seashells arranged to say, "86 47".

It's time to start removing federal judges! Congress needs to start impeachment procedures, today.
