Those Damn Yankees!!

 I just looked at my blog's stats. If you are reading this from Germany, Austria or France, Thank you for reading. But on with today's tirade.

Democrats are running loose in the streets of Washington trying to convince us that there is no waste or fraud in the federal government for DOGE to find. What are they worried about? Does anyone with more than a room temperature IQ believe that there is no government waste?

Democrats are threatening to demonstrate in the streets if the audits continue. Talk about a one trick pony. Go ahead and burn your own neighborhoods again, guys. Is it okay to say "guys"? If not, call 1-800-DUMBASS to register your pronouns.

Last week FEMA sent the state of New York $59 million to help with the expenses of housing illegal immigrants. Trump fired four of those responsible for doing that yesterday. That's how organizations should operate. You do something you were told not to do; you lose your job. That's life in the big leagues. If you can't make the plays, you can't make the team. (That's my annual sports analogy!)

I spent my life in the restaurant business. If you want to know how service is at your place, send a stranger in to eat and talk to him about his experience. It's the same story in Washington. We need people from outside to come in and expose the stupid stuff that is happening there. The people who live and work there are basically blind to what they see every day. 

If you think that the Department of Education and teachers' unions are good for our children's educations, find yourself a ninth grader. Ask them to tell you what a verb is. Then ask them to tell you everything they know about the American Revolution. Don't cough, you will miss the answers. 

One of the things that I like about Donald Trump is that he delegates to his people. The other is that he is actively bringing in younger people to help run the government. The Democrats are the party of the old people. The average age of Democratic Senators is probably over 75. Those guys think that I am a young person. 

More than forty years ago, my boss asked me who on the staff could run the restaurant if I died. I looked at him and said, "Do you know something that I don't?" He said, "Yes, there are car accidents every day. People die of heart attacks in their twenties. You don't have to be old to get murdered. I just want to know who is going to run the place if you die." I started training the assistant manager the next day to take my place. 

My point is that Trump is setting up a system that will be able to operate if something happens to him or after he leaves office. Of course, he is starting with better people. I can picture J.D. Vance as President. I couldn't picture Kamala Harris as a clerk at the White House.

And in late breaking news, Pam Bondi announced that the federal government is suing the State of New York, Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, and DMV Director Mark Schroeder. It seems that New York state law requires them to notify illegal immigrants if the federal government asks for information about them. The Department of Justice says that this state law is unconstitutional.

I grew up believing that this whole states' rights thing was settled by the War Between the States ending in 1865. Who knew that the states who believed that the federal laws were supreme would change their opinions 160 years later? Are the Yankees going to secede in 2025?
