Sunday Evening Weekend Wrap-up

 Leftists are all pretending to be enraged by Trump's comments about the death of Bob Mueller. I think that almost no one would be able to praise a guy who tried to put you in jail. In America, we have all watched Trump's comments on almost everything for the last fifty years. Who in the hell is surprised by his comments on Mueller? I actually thought that they were a little bit of an understatement. The media should be grateful that Jack Smith or Letitia James didn't die.

How about Forbes magazine appraising Mar-A-Lago at $560 million? Who's going to break the news to Judge Engoron? he and Letitia were only about $530 million off the estimate. Just one more body blow to the concept of New York justice. New Yorkers are the people who have spent the last 150 years complaining about justice in the South. Maybe they meant the South Bronx.

I think the odds are rising that New York City will survive the Mamdani years. Even the Communists are hedging their bets on moving to the Big Commie Apple. Dallas is trying to help NYC by constructing a business district called "Y'all Street". Keep your bags packed, Zohran!!

I think that the colleges and universities use the NCAA basketball tournament as a way to get rid of coaches.  This is the time of year when small schools sneak up on large schools and end coaching jobs. Who knew that High Point University and Saint Louis University had high level basketball programs? I live near High Point and I didn't know. Of course, knowing that would require that I watch the sports part of the local news. No, thanks!!

Trump is planning on putting ICE agents at airports to help TSA agents who aren't getting paid. Many in Congress disapprove of this. Does Congress not want the travel lines to move quickly or are they afraid that ICE may spot an illegal? Don't worry guys!!The illegals are the guys cleaning the planes. Everybody getting ready to board a plane understands that whole "You need ID" rule. Look at the bright side, guys!! Congress can see for themselves that married women are actually able to get a photo ID!!

Now all that we need is for the airlines to announce which member of Congress is on each flight so that voters and constituents can engage with them in conversation on the flight. Wouldn't that be interesting?

The Senate passed on Friday a bill outlawing the special treatment that members of Congress have been getting at airport check-in lines. It's time for that assembly of schmucks to see what the rest of America has to do and tolerate. 

ICE needs to be told that anyone with a "D" after their name is a potential terrorist. Give them the body cavity search. On second thought, some of those guys might enjoy that.

Yesterday, I set up at the 311 Flea Market or Little Mexico, as we call it at the Jones house. I saw one of the first signs of spring in North Carolina. There were eight vendors within the sound of my voice selling yard care equipment. If you were shopping for a used trimmer, chainsaw, tiller or mower, this was the place. Anyway, the suspected illegal next to me had several chainsaws that he was selling. I heard him trying to start one chainsaw and looked over at him. I instantly thought that he was about to die. He pulled the starter rope with his right hand while swinging the saw to the left with his other hand. It was a technique that I do not recall seeing in the last 72 years. He kept repeating this motion as I looked away, pulled out my phone and got ready to hit "Send" for 911. Finally, another Hispanic guy came over. He took the saw away from the potential suicide candidate and placed it on the ground and tried to show the illegal how to stay alive. If I see a story about a guy dying while trying to start a chainsaw, I will know who it is.

My favorite flea market story which will last for years is this. Three young guys, probably in their early twenties, came up to my space. I had a tray of cheap pocketknives that were all priced at $3. One guy, ignoring the "Knives $3 each" sign, asked, "How much are the knives?". With my usual chipper disposition, I responded "Just like the sign says, $3". He said, "I will give you $2."  I replied, "No, I am not interested in selling them for $2". He pulled out his wallet and said, "I only have $2. I will give you $2 today and give you the other dollar next week." I looked around to see if there was a television camera somewhere and there wasn't. So, I said, "Give me the $2 and I will mail you the knife next week." He instantly said, "I am not going to do that!" I responded, "Neither am I. Give me the $3 or move on down the row." He pulled out the $3 and left with the knife. I guess that at his age, I might have thought that I was smarter than old people, too. He won't tell a soul what happened, but his buddies were pulling out their phones as they all walked away.
