Rambling Reflections

Books published after politicians have left office should be compelled to have a disclaimer that says, "This book is a compilation of ideas that the author lacked the balls and/or brains to share while holding office." This may be related to the article that I just saw about a new book from Mike Pence. Mike hasn't been able to find his balls in years. I guess that they are being held in trust until he officially leaves politics.

Coming to a town near you!! This weekend (June 6 & 7) is the Dublin, Virginia Lions Club Flea Market. It is held at the New River Valley Fairgrounds in Dublin. If you find yourself craving live sarcasm and political commentary, I will be there. I am surrounded by other vendors who seem to all pretend to be deaf.

Memo to Martina McBride: Republicans buy music and concert tickets too. In trying to appease the loud obnoxious crowd of liberals, you are just pissing off the people who actually buy tickets to your concerts and pay to listen to your music. Best of luck as you travel the political wilderness ahead in your career. You might want to find a better grade of people to advise you. 

The people who have spent the last 5 1/2 years talking about violence against the Capitol Police on Jan 6 are strangely quiet about the Federal ICE agents and other Federal officers being attacked in riots at ICE detention centers. 

The level of violence against Federal law enforcement officers in Minneapolis was higher and more prolonged than the Capitol attacks on January 6. We will find out who actually killed John Kennedy before we find out who actually planned the Jan 6 riot. We will probably never find out who planned the Minneapolis riots.

We keep hearing about how Rennee Good and Alex Pretti were killed by ICE in Minneapolis, but no one wants to talk about Ashli Babbitt being the ONLY person killed on January 6. Unlike the "Minneapolis Martyrs", Ashli was completely unarmed when she was shot to death by a Capitol policeman. She wasn't trying to run over some cop with her car, and she wasn't packing a handgun and two magazines full of ammunition. She's still just as dead. Why aren't Dems enraged about this?

A federal district court judge has ordered Trump's name to be removed from the Kennedy Center. Maybe we should honor President James Monroe and call it the Monroe-Kennedy Center. The problem there is that people would think that you are talking about JFK and Marilyn Monroe. If they will ever publish the real truth about JFK, the Kennedy Center will just become the Trump Center. 

In November of 1948, two Puerto Rican nationalists tried to assassinate President Truman while he was living at Blair House due to White House renovations. One of the Puerto Ricans was shot and killed in the gun battle that ensued. One of the Secret Service uniformed agents was also killed. In March of 1954 four Puerto Rican nationalists fired about thirty rounds in the House Chamber and wounded five Congressmen. In 1979 Jimmy Carter commuted the sentences of all those involved. Now, Democrats want to make Puerto Rico a state.
