Your papers, please? and other BS

 I am fascinated by the left's cries and whines about how ICE is trying to enforce federal immigration laws. Many believe that ICE should not be stopping people and checking IDs. This kind of thing happens every day in the rest of America that is not Minne-Somalia. 

Memo to libs: You are wasting your time with the "Your papers, please" argument. Every day in America people have to show IDs. Look at what you have to do to get on an airplane. You have to show an ID to buy alcohol, unless you look as old as I do. How about that process for buying firearms? Do you need an ID for that? Walmart wants you to show an ID to buy a pocketknife, but I think that I complained about that a couple of weeks ago. So, let's stop acting like only immigrants get asked for ID. Just as a closing shot, since more than half of ICE agents are Hispanic, should we have them say "Your papers, please" in Spanish?  Would that placate leftists?

Have you ever encountered a driver's license checkpoint on a highway? Police set up a roadblock and check licenses. They check everybody driving by the checkpoint. If you don't have a valid license, you usually will win a free traffic citation. If your license plate is expired, you are also a winner. 

But the police don't just write tickets for license violations. They catch people who are violating or have violated other laws. Just because it is a driver's license checkpoint doesn't mean that other violators walk away free. If you have outstanding warrants or are intoxicated, you will win a free ride to the local incarceration facility or jail, if you like little words.

Just because it is a license checkpoint doesn't mean that you won't be charged for violating other laws. If you have a bale of weed in the backseat or point a firearm at the officer, you won't be heading home for a while. Just because it is a license check doesn't mean that law enforcement officers are going to let you get away with any other violations. For example, if you have five new big screen televisions in the back seat, you are going to be late for dinner. 

Should we have the police just ignore all of the other crimes because it is a driver's license check? Of course not. If a guy has a stolen firearm, should we ignore the murder he committed? 

This practice has been going on for as long as I can remember. It's only a problem now because the leftists are worried that they are going to lose their low-cost lawn guy or their underpaid house cleaner. This whole situation is caused by the pursuit of cheap labor. After slavery ended in 1865, we brought in immigrants from Europe and China to do the dirty work at low wages. Today, the left depends on illegal immigrants to do the dirty work.

Liberals want to employ illegal immigrants so that they can feel better about themselves and have stories to share with their other leftist lawbreaker friends. They need to find another way to feel better.

Sunday Morning Moans and Groans

 Ilhan Omar's husband had his net worth jump $30 million in the last couple of years. He must have invested in Minne-Somalia daycare centers or transportation companies.

Stephen Miller said that the White House is looking into sending 1500 soldiers to Minneapolis. That's not enough. The rioters in Minneapolis need to be met with overwhelming force. Send an entire Army division. Declare martial law, impose a curfew, jail the violators, put a general in place as the military governor. Jail the governor and the Minneapolis mayor for inciting a riot. We need overwhelming force to restore order. Lincoln didn't send a regiment to Virginia; he sent an army. It's the same situation, different state. Put me down for being a believer in "overwhelming force". Long term, it saves lives.

The Minneapolis police have not made a single arrest of a rioter. Why not? Is rioting legal in Minneapolis? Or has the mayor/lead liar Jacob Frey ordered them not to arrest rioters?

Why haven't we seen the videos from the cellphone camera of the bull dyke who taunted ICE officers as her lesbian lover tried to make a getaway after being ordered out of the car? I think that screaming "Drive Baby Drive!" might make Butch an accomplice.

In her first day in office, the new governor of Virginia rescinded the previous governor's executive order directing law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. Pardon me while I feign surprise. Is there anything dumber than a liberal, female Democrat?

Kameltoe Harris and her husband bought an $8 million oceanfront home in Malibu. They must have forgotten all that leftist environmental BS about the oceans rising. She should have bought a home in Martha's Vineyard near the Obamas, instead. They could spend their afternoons together, sitting on the beach watching polar bears float by as the polar icecaps melt. Oh wait! That's not happening. 

If you still have a copy of Al Gore's book, you can use the pages to start a fire. If you still think that fire might melt the polar icecaps, line your cat's litter box with the pages instead.

NBC is running commercials urging people to celebrate MLK Day by watching the four basketball games they are broadcasting. Stereotype much, guys? If they had lined up KFC or Bojangles to sponsor the games, the racism would be complete.

I am tired of hearing dumbass liberals talk about people "being disappeared". In addition to being completely false, it is bad grammar.

Continuing my rant about grammar, I used to work with a waitress who used to talk about "conversating" with someone. It goes without saying that she was a Yankee from Pennsylvania.

In 1961-1962 we lived on MacDill AFB in Tampa. It seemed like half of the guys on base wore flight jackets with Thule Air Base emblazoned on them. Just for the record, that was in Greenland. During that time, we had more than 6,000 people stationed there. That was probably a large percentage of the total population of Greenland at that time. Now, it's a Space Force base with less than 200 people. What's the point of all of this? Everybody is acting like Trump just discovered Greenland as some sort of a plot. We have been there since 1941. We actually had claims on that territory before that. We gave up those claims to buy the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917. I guess the Danes have tried to claim everywhere the Vikings visited. Call when you have news!

                                                             

Elmer Fraud??

 

Stinking Thinking or Thoughtless Thursday?

OB-GYN Dr. Nisha Verma testified before Congress the other day as an expert. She was unable to answer a question posed by Sen. Josh Hawley about whether a not a man can get pregnant. It's a yes or no question that a "medical professional" should have been able to answer. She needs to lose her medical license. If you are going to a doctor who believes that men can get pregnant, change doctors today!

The good news is that there's never been a guy my age or any age who got pregnant. The bad news is that we have Supreme Court justices who obviously failed tenth grade biology.

Listening to the Supreme Court debate the Idaho and West Virginia cases on boys in girls' sports reinforced my belief that Ketanji Brown-Jackson is unfit to even be a judge in traffic court in Podunk, USA. If you cannot define what a "woman" is, you are unfit to be a public official. Statistics show that women are more than half of the population, but liberals can't tell you what a woman is. WOW!!

I have watched enough of the lunacy and the insurrection in Minnesota. Trump needs to declare martial law in Minnesota and send the 101st Airborne Division to Minneapolis to restore civil order. Put a general in charge of Minnesota, impose a dusk to dawn curfew, arrest anyone who interferes with ICE agents, and use deadly force to respond to anyone using vehicles to attack federal agents. They have they that big stadium in downtown Minneapolis to use as a holding facility for those arrested. Let's fill that up!!

Wait! I forgot the most important part. Arrest Governor Walz and Mayor Frey and charge them with inciting an insurrection. Send them to a jail in South Carolina to await trial.

There is a news report that women in Minnesota are shaving their balls in protest of ICE actions.

Monday Morning Meanness, Madness and Minneapolis, Minnesota

 Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis is a product of a culture that failed to discipline their children, and it shows. Beyond that he's a liberal liar. He claimed that Minneapolis has only had two shootings this year but failed to acknowledge that it was only January 8 when he made that observation. He is unable to acknowledge the existence and supremacy of federal law on immigration. He called the ICE agent who shot the lesbian "legal observer" a "murderer" before the investigation was even completed. If this guy Frey was a dog, we would have put him down by now.

What exactly is a "legal observer"? What kind of training do they get? Are they licensed? Most importantly, who is paying these "legal observers"? A pair of lesbians and a child moved from Missouri to Minneapolis so that the two alleged adults could work as "legal observers". How much are these folks getting paid? Is this income being reported? Are withholding taxes being paid? How about Social Security taxes? Who is their employer?

Governor Wimpy Walz wants to have his police work with the FBI to determine if the ICE shooting was justifiable. Sorry, Timbo, but your guys have missed billions of dollars in fraud involved in government grants to daycare facilities. You need to spend some time at "learing" centers before you are ready to handle anything else.

Back at the "legal observer" thing. These clowns aren't "observing" anything. Ther are interfering with federal law enforcement agents trying to enforce federal immigration laws. There is a process for changing federal laws and this is not it. 

Let's try to see if this "legal observer" idea would be allowed in other situations not involving ICE and see what would happen. If an FBI SWAT team showed up for a raid and someone blocked their way by parking an SUV in the road, is that allowed? How long do you think that shit would be tolerated?  Start blowing whistles at DEA agents on a raid and see what happens. Do ATF agents have to clear their actions with "legal observers"?  

If you think that you are a "legal observer" or believe in the concept of "legal observers", here's a test. Go to South Carolina or Georgia. Drive up and down the highway until you see a South Carolina State Trooper or a Georgia State Trooper pull over a motorist. Stop your car and get out and try to get between the motorist and the state trooper. Blow a whistle, beat a drum, yell and scream obscenities. Take pictures with your smart phone. Call the trooper names. Throw things at the trooper. Get in his face and call him names. When it is all over, call me from the hospital or jail and let me know how that went for you. 

ICE agents need to file suits against demonstrators and their states and cities for allowing demonstrators to injure them and preventing them from doing their jobs. The federal government needs to file suits against these states and cities, as well. These clowns always want to sue the federal government, let's turn the tables. 

The real problem is that liberals are all afraid that they are losing their preferred underclass of people. The entire existence of liberals depends on the existence an underclass of people who libs can "help" by employing them to do their house cleaning or yardwork. They then tell all of their friends how they "help" poor people. Blacks have outgrown the underclass model of the last 200 years, so liberals are now importing brown people to fill that role.

Memo to DJT: Get the IRS working on the money flow to "legal observers" and paid demonstrators.

New Year, New Gripes

I tried to watch the New Years Special on The Five this evening on Fox News. I watched about ten minutes. They would have done better just showing a rerun of a real episode.

Speaking of The Five, I can only assume that Jessica Tarlov is an affirmative action hire. I can't believe that she found a man to father a child. 

CNN is so busy attacking the young man who exposed the Minnesota daycare disaster that they have neglected to actually check into the story. Apparently. at CNN, they are trying to boost their share of the news market in Mogadishu.

The college football playoffs are beginning to look like the NCAA basketball tournament. That roundball crap seems to go on for months. I will watch a basketball game when they start calling "traveling" and "palming the ball" again. When a guy runs the length of the court and only dribbles the ball three times, something is wrong. Somewhere, James Naismith is rolling over in his grave and screaming, "What have they done to my game?"

The only thing worse than the college football playoffs is the NFL and the seemingly never-ending journey to the Super Bore. There is a lot of controversy at the Super Bore with the choice of some alleged singer called "Bad Bunny" for the halftime show. When the halftime show is getting all of the attention, you know that it is going to be a horseshit game. They say that Bad Bunny will perform in Spanish. So, halftime will look like the beer commercials. As far as I can tell, the only good news about the Super Bore this year is that Taylor Swift's team won't be playing. 

I bought a bunch of tents at the after Christmas sales. I am headed to New York City next week to get in on the ground floor of the new "Tent City" craze now that Mamdani is mayor. I am hoping that I won't be too late for the sales rush.

Jack "Jerk" Smith is the new standard for arrogant liberal prick. Jerk claimed that he would treat both Republicans and Democrats the same as he treated Trump. The only problem is that he never has done that. Jerk hates conservatives. Jerk pursued the charges against Trump for classified documents without ever acknowledging that the law allows the President to declassify any documents. Trump's DOJ needs to charge Jerk Smith with attempting to overthrow the government. I will be happy to serve on that jury.

How about that daycare operator in Minnesota who claimed that someone broke into his daycare and stole his records and checkbook the day after they were subpoenaed? Only in a Democrat run town?? Someone needs to tell him that the bank has copies of all those checks. That guy's story sucks so badly that even the Minneapolis police don't believe him.

Before all of this is over, some Somali daycare operator will claim that George Floyd worked for him. 

I hate to admit that I am wrong, so this next statement is difficult. Tim Walz is an even bigger loser than I had previously claimed. I can't believe that I was so wrong in underestimating his level of stupidity and incompetence. Say it ain't so, Tim!! 

If only we had elected Tim, Spiro Agnew could have lost his status as the only Vice President forced to resign. 

Sunday Slams and Slander?

Is there anybody on the planet more out of touch with reality than a federal district court judge? We need to replace their lifetime jobs with thirty-day terms. 

I saw Marlo Thomas in a commercial for St. Judes Children's Hospital. They do great work there. Having said that, Marlo needs to get a good personal injury attorney to sue her plastic surgeon about her face job. Wrinkles would look better.

There is some Internet "News" operation called "Slingshot News". It's probably some guy in his parents' basement or a Democrat in the Capitol building. Truth in Labeling laws should compel him to change the name of his operation to "Slingshit News". Maybe he just misspelled it? 

I saw on the television news a story about a child learning center in Minnesota that has received more than four million of your tax dollars in the last two years. An independent investigative reporter could find no evidence of any activity there during regular business hours. I think that the tip off for him was when the sign on the building described it as a "Learing" Center.  If you guessed that the one person who came to the door to speak to the reporter appeared to be from a foreign country, you are correct.

Billions of dollars in fraud are happening in Minnesota and on Saturday Gov. Tim Walz posted a picture of his cat on Facebook with the comment "Happy Caturday". There are no reports of how many recipes were posted in the comments by Haitian immigrants.

There is a bill before the Minnesota state legislature to change the name of the state to "Minnesomalia". I think that is the name of Tim Walz' cat. Wait! I am not going to say anything else bad about Walz and his cat as a friend claims that cat is the only pussy that Walz ever had.

My attempt to get federal government funding for the first annual "Random Moments of Lunacy Bowl" football game in historic Caswell County was denied because I submitted the request written in English. That and I was asking for less than a million dollars.

Trump Derangement Syndrome has reached a peak in California. Democrats there are pressuring Disney to change Donald Duck's name to Barack Duck. They also want his bill to be black.

Just in case you were wondering, I am one of the 872 men in America who did not have their picture taken with Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell. The United States Congress is going to end up regretting the day they passed that stupid bill mandating the release of all those documents and pictures. The only people who actually care about this work in politics or the media. The rest of us are tired of the story. Believe it or not, we have all known a pervert. We may not have known it, but we knew one.

It's a shame that Americans and the television networks weren't as interested in the deaths of Mary Jo Kopechne or Marilyn Monroe as they are in the life and death of Epstein. Mary Jo may not have drowned. Marilyn may not have killed herself. There's evidence that both slept with politicians.

Epstein could have avoided all of those legal issues if he had just declared himself to be an undocumented immigrant. All the charges would have been dropped. Federal District Court judges would have been lining up to free Epstein and nominate him for sainthood. 

If you don't believe the preceding statements, why isn't the government talking about all of the unaccompanied minor children who came to this country? Everything you need to know about this was in a case where an illegal immigrant was charged with having sex with a thirteen-year-old girl. His defense was "I thought that she was fourteen." There's another believer in the "If they are old enough to bleed, they are old enough to breed" school of thought. Let's have a conversation about that whole "cultural differences" thing.

Victor Davis Hanson points out that we have gone from using the term "illegal aliens" to "illegal immigrants" to "undocumented immigrants" to "immigrants" to "migrants" in an attempt to change the whole conversation. So, if you lost your job to an "illegal immigrant", don't sweat it. They are just "migrants" now. That's the same way that a "murderer" becomes a "Hastened Death Facilitator".

We will be a better nation with a more informed electorate when the news media decides to develop an interest in how so many politicians become millionaires. Especially how the Socialists like Bernie Sanders became rich. If only Sanders had been filmed with Epstein, they might be paying attention. 

The Morning After??

 Almost twenty years ago, in the early months of this blog, I scrawled a few paragraphs about one of the best and worst experiences of my life. Yes, I wrote about my time at the Waffle House.

We never closed at the Waffle House. We were there for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Easter and even for Gilbert's birthday. Not everybody is off on holidays. About fifty years in the restaurant business was enough to make me appreciate that.

If people other than you didn't work "holidays", you would be sitting home in the dark. Power won't generate itself and get to your house on its own. If you venture out, the gas stations are closed, and the traffic lights won't work. The police wouldn't be patrolling so you would have to rely on all of the other drivers to be following the traffic laws. Fat chance of that!!  Do you want to wait until the next day if your house catches on fire? What would holidays be without cooks, waiters and waitresses and bartenders working? How about those clerks at the convenience stores or those folks at the emergency room? 

I stopped at a Dollar General on Christmas Eve. I was talking to the cashier as I checked out and asked her, " Are you working until closing time tonight?", She groaned and said, "Yeah, I have to close. We are closing at 10:00 PM." I said, "Let me go ahead and tell you this. It won't matter what time you close tonight but you are going to encounter two situations." 

I told her, "At 9:55, some nutcase is going to run through the door and yell, 'Are You open?' Tell them whatever you want, they won't remember it later. I like to say 'No' just to see the look on their face." She laughed. Then I told her, "At 10:05 while you are getting ready to leave, another nutcase will be outside trying to get the door to open. They will be screaming 'Are you closed?' as they pull on the locked door.  Don't even bother to answer. Act like you can't hear them. As long as you act like you can't hear, they will yell louder. It's just fun to watch. When you tire of watching them, point to the Closed sign and walk away."

Being off on Christmas is kind of like being off on Sunday. I had thousands of people over the years tell me the same thing on Sundays. Customers would tell me how we should close the restaurant on Sunday so that our employees could go to church. My response was almost always the same. First, I would point out that most of my employees were not church goers. Beyond that, if they were all in church and the restaurant was closed, where were those saying that we should be closed going to eat? Trust me, nobody had thought it through that far.

If you don't think that restaurants should be open on Christmas, don't go there to eat. If nobody goes out to eat, restaurants will stop opening on Christmas. Don't stop for gas on Christmas day. Go out for a drink on the day before Christmas. Watch the ball games from your living room. If your cable goes out on Christmas, wait until the next day to call for repair. You know that you won't do that!!

There are lots of people who work on holidays. Most get paid extra for working on holidays. What's the best thing about working on holidays? You don't have to visit with those friends and relatives that you don't like.  That's a bonus!! Probably for all involved.
