I know it’s wrong but I’m laughing my ass off at NYC and Chicago over the migrant issue

Generally speaking, I’m in favor of sending all the migrants right the fuck back across the Mexican border. I don’t care where they originally came from, how they got to South or Central America or what happens to them after they’re back across the border.

I know that sounds mean, cruel, selfish, or whatever. They can all wait in line, presumably like their other countrymen who are trying to immigrate to the US legally.

This is particularly true for the men who are able bodied and military aged. I’m sorry, they’re a threat to our nation even if they’re not acting on behalf of some foreign government. It’s a plain simple fact. These men are far more likely to be involved in crime, either theft or assault out of frustration that they’re woefully unprepared for the reality of life in the United States.

Most people in America don’t speak anything except English, (Londoners, would say we don’t even speak that.) So if someone comes here from another country and cannot speak the language they’re not going to get very far. Spanish is more common so Central and Latin Americans will have a leg up. But African languages? Asian Languages and dialects?  Uh, not so much. 

No Dingwalla there is not gold on the streets, nor is everything “free” despite democrats best efforts, and oh right, generally speaking we take a dim view of rape and rapists even if that is culturally appropriate in your country.

You left your country remember? Apparently you weren’t doing any better getting work or laid there, than you are here. Perhaps the fault is not where you are so much as who you are.

Besides you fuckers always go for the really nice pretty girls, you never go for the self mutilated ugly harridans. (Just an observation.)

Maybe it’s time for someone to start telling the truth to other countries. We don’t want you, the people before you have drained America like malaria or cholera does.

America is in the last stages of shitting itself to death. Look at our leadership, are these people examples of a healthy country? Yeah, best that you stay home and try to make your country better.

Believe me, you probably don’t want to be here for what comes next. Hitler blamed all the ills of Germany on the Jews, Gypsies, and the gays. His solution was to send them to death camps.

Just thinking out loud here, what happens if America has a leader that rises and blames all the country’s ills on the 12 millions or so illegal immigrants the Biden administration has allowed in?

The Biden Administration has already been floating the idea that blame for our country’s problems falls on MAGA Americans and white supremacy. Biden is trying to blame 1/2 of the country for his administration’s failures. Think about what that might portend.

The American people are pissed off at a whole lot of things right now. Believe me, Dingwalla you do not want to be here if / when this shit blows up. Hell I’m concerned about what happens when this shit blows up and I’m a redneck American.

You really don’t want to be here if someone declares “open season” on “enemies of the state”.  The problem with “Enemies of the State” is the term is completely subjective. Believe me an “open season” situation could easily make “The Purge” look like a comedy. (Admittedly I’ve wondered what I would do if suddenly there was no reason for me not to cross a few people off my enemy list. Would I take the moral high ground and walk away, or would I do a little purging of my own? I hope to never find out.)

As an aside, no country will let me immigrate claiming asylum because I’m an American. I still haven’t figured out how THAT works. Why can the fucking world immigrate to the USA or the EU with little to no training or education but I, as an American am denied that ability? It just doesn’t seem fair.

To all immigrants: For your own safety, go home, or stay home. Make your part of the world a paradise.

By the way, when you’re making your country better, you might want to make sure that you have really strict border security and immigration laws. Otherwise the surviving parasites from the western countries will invade your homes and destroy them as has been done with western countries.

Just a thought.

The above is pretty much what I’m thinking when I see the insanity of the border.

Then when I hear Eric Adams and the idiot Chicago Mayor talking about their cities inability to continue accepting the influx of migrants, All I can do after blowing coffee out my nose, is laugh and say, “What the Fuck?”

These morons haven’t been accepting migrants for three solid years like some of the small border towns in Texas and Arizona. Some of the smaller border towns are literally overrun with migrants to the point that the little towns will never recover. Really, how on earth can these mayors be whining and complaining when border towns with populations of 500 are dealing with 1500 migrants coming in per day?

These states and cities were fine calling Texans and Arizonans RACIST. When Texas and Arizona ranchers were bitching about their fences being cut, or migrants stealing shit out of their barns, or breaking into their homes. When these actual Americans who owned land, paid taxes, and raised food were effectively under siege, New York, Boston, Chicago, and Martha’s Vineyard, were telling them to, “Shut up. Stop being mean, It’s not that bad, You’re just racists.”

The trails used by the migrants remind me a lot of the devastation seen after locust swarms pass. The trash alone requires special handling and it’s literally measured in TONS. All of which has to be removed before a pasture can be opened again to cows or sheep. Who pays for that? Oh Right… The rancher.

So the rancher pays their taxes, Property, Business, State (if applicable), and then gets to PAY again for the cleanup and repairs to their property with no recourse to our out of control federal government, who has utterly failed to “Secure the Border”, which is one of the primary things the federal government is supposed to do. 

But we’re sending another bazillion dollars to Ukraine or an aid package to Gaza while demanding that Israel, (our ally,) stand down so Hamas can steal the aid package, regroup and fuck Israel again.

We need to shut the hell up, let Israel destroy Hamas and however much of Gaza is necessary to end Hamas once and for all. There is a penalty, sometimes a terrible one, for shitty governance and assholes who poke a bear. Hamas poked the bear, now they die. Too Bad, So Sad,

Ukraine is another post entirely… Where has the money we’ve already sent gone? Why is there no accountability? I don’t have the time or enough blood pressure medication to get into that one. 

Here’s an idea, how about that Gaza. a.k.a. Hamas aid package get redirected to our fucking southern border? How about the federal government use our tax dollars to, I don’t know, clean up the mess they’ve made at the border and help the American ranchers bring their ranches back to operational? The federal government should be held financially accountable for the damages their illegal immigration policy has caused to private properties along the border.

I think that the money to pay federal restitution should come from the operational budget of Homeland security and Mayorkas’s office. Not another taxpayer funded boondoggle.

I mean money from the budget that keeps butts in chairs and coffee in the DHS break room. When Homeland Security and Alejandro Mayorkas have to start laying people off because they’re literally paying the price for their incompetence maybe then it will make an impression.

I’d like to see Mayorkas’s pension and salary decremented by the amount of restitution paid to the ranchers and homeowners. I’d also like to see Biden’s paycheck and government pensions decremented.

I think if bad decisions had serious financial consequences to politicians there’d be less bad decisions. I’m not talking about a one time screwup, those happen. Doubling down on clearly bad decisions such as  the border,  shutting down domestic oil production, demonizing coal etc. is choosing to make the same mistake repeatedly.

Maybe Biden and Mayorkas would rethink their mistakes if they had to sell one of their beach houses.

Clearly the financial incentive works. Now that New York and Chicago are having to PAY for the flood of migrants, suddenly it’s a crisis.

Surprisingly these high minded “Sanctuary” Cities and States change their tune fast when the problem is in their back yard, costing them money. Ever hear of NIMBY assholes? Well, you’re prefect examples right now.

NIMBY= Not In My Back Yard. This sentiment often applies to Power Plants (nuclear and otherwise), Public transportation (Trains, Elevated Trains), Prisons, Low Income Housing, high-rises, mines, and immigration camps.  

People practicing NIMBY are often progressive liberals who say these things are absolutely necessary and should be tolerated as long as these things, are not visible to the progressive liberals from within their walled, gated, subdivisions.

When these necessities get too close, are, or will be, visible to the progressives, suddenly they’re opposed to construction. Usually for the same variety of reasons, non progressives or poor neighborhoods cited and were castigated for. Examples: Pollution, Hazardous materials near schools and daycare, Destruction of poor neighborhoods, etc. 

This leads to people like myself having a bit of schadenfreude when I hear progressives screaming about things they were content to see visited upon others.

In the current situation with New York and Chicago, my schadenfreude is on overload and about to blow the breakers.

To New York and Chicago, San Francisco, and in fact any other progressive liberal stronghold, you’re getting what’s coming to you.

So, “Shut up. Stop being mean, It’s not that bad, You’re just racists.”

Yeah we’re all equally fucked but I’m tired of you calling me names when I point out obvious truths.

I must be getting old, or people are just more insane.

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I don’t want to live someplace where pot is legal.

I really don’t like the smell. Here in the neighborhood there’s a number of folks who smoke it all the dang time and even with their houses closed up for the winter, I can still smell the stuff.

That’s bad enough but it’s rather like someone smoking cigarettes or drinking in their own home, it’s their deal and who am I to judge.

Recently, I’ve noticed that I can’t go anywhere anymore without smelling pot. Sitting in traffic at a stop light, in parking lots, and near office buildings.

I can’t help but notice that some of these places I couldn’t light up a Marlboro, but someone smoking pot is oakey dokey.

Unlike cigarettes pot is an intoxicant. Pot is more like alcohol, but people are smoking pot while driving just like we old farts used to smoke cigarettes. This concerns me, and I think might be one of the reasons that driving in California has gotten so damn bad. More people than ever before are essentially drunk driving.

Sitting in traffic with my windows down, I’m getting hotboxed too. Why should I have to keep my windows up and the A/C running because you guys want to smoke pot in traffic? Furthermore why can’t I go back to smoking Marlboros?

Oh Right… Smoking cigarettes is bad for you, but smoking pot is healthy. So the effects of second hand pot smoke aren’t bad? How about second hand intoxication? What about the children riding with mommy and daddy smoking pot in the car?

Today people gasp in shock and horror when they realize people in my generation were trapped in cars with our parents smoking cigarettes. But there’s no similar outrage with pot? Talk about a double standard!

Is it any surprise that jobs aren’t getting done well?  How many fast food orders have you had screwed up? How many places have you been shopping only to find there is no organization to the merchandise?

I’ve been noticing it. I’d been pondering it until I was sitting at a traffic light with three cars around me reeking of pot.

Then watching these folks drive and thinking they were drunk, everything clicked in my head.

They were in fact intoxicated. They shouldn’t have been driving. This was midday on a weekday, I couldn’t help but wonder where these people worked.

Then I thought about the quality of the work they’d be doing.

These are the same people who are appalled that in addition to my having an ashtray on my desk at work, I’d sometimes have a beer at lunch then go back to work. At the time, I was a bench technician and my workstation had a soldering iron. The rosin in the solder was probably worse for me than my Marlboro smoldering in the ashtray.

Please notice, I said “A Beer” not a six pack.

The funny thing is that a joint might fuck you up. A single beer probably won’t impair you at all. These days, your company will say you’re not allowed to have a beer at lunch under threat of immediate termination. But they’ll say nothing about that “Medicinal” joint at lunch.

I’ve got another datapoint to work with when it comes to moving. The list is growing…

Four Seasons but with only decorative snow. I’m over 2 – 10 feet of snow falling in one storm. I like the fall change of leaves and gentle snowfall with accumulation that doesn’t last too long.
No State tax.
No Legalized Pot
Low Auto Registration, $500 a year to register a car? Really?
Generally homogeneous demographics, I’m over “Diversity”. California making me feel like I should speak Spanish instead of English has burned through my diversity quota.
Low Property Taxes.
Good Law Enforcement.
Strong constitutional beliefs. In other words no monkey shines with The Constitution when some activist group gets all mouthy about how they think we should live. I am totally over  being told that I have to live my life to spare someone else’s feelings.
I might be content with someplace that looks a lot like Mayberry. That might be a little too boring, but I’d be willing to give it a try for a while.


As an aside,

Trying to find out about Marlboros is stupidly difficult. Finding pictures of the logo and various boxes is more or less easy but there are a bunch of new packages so since I was a Marlboro smoker I was curious. MY GOD!!! I never did get to just identifying what these new packages were. They want your to register, and then answer a bunch of legal shit, then agree to be on their mailing list, then verify your age, then make sure that you’re in a country where they can send you information.

FUCK!!!!

On the other hand, I can tell you anything at all about pot.

The one thing I was able to determine is that California charges an excise tax of $2.87 on every pack of smokes and that the feds charge $1.01. so $3.88 of every pack of smokes is excise taxes which doesn’t include the sales tax in whatever county you’re in. It looks like California s charging 22% on pot.

Obviously since pot is still illegal on a federal level there isn’t any federal tax on pot. California is making a killing!

Not being able to just look something up annoys the shit out of me. This registration and age and double secret handshake crap is simply designed to make people not want to ask questions.

Asking about cigarettes doesn’t mean you’re going to start smoking. It means that you had a question. It’s not technically censorship but it’s damn close. Apparently Phillip Morris makes e-cigs but they’re only in Europe and therefore the web sites redirect you to a page saying “NO NO NO YOU NAUGHTY PERSON” you’re not allowed to see this. Which is censorship…

VPNs with servers in Europe make that a nothing barrier. Nothing aside from annoyance and reminding us that surprise! We’re not actually free.

I don’t recall voting for any censorship on the internet at all, so why is it there?

Hey you Colorado Folks, you no longer have the burden of voting!

You’re Welcome!!!!

Now you don’t have to read any pesky voter pamphlets. You don’t have to agonize over your vote, or who’s running for whatever office.

You’re free of the burden of responsibility.

From here on out you’ll never risk being like Florida when it comes to counting votes. In fact, the approved candidate will “Win” Colorado within minutes of the polls opening. 

If you’re only allowed to vote for one candidate it greatly simplifies things doesn’t it?

You’re all such “Good Little communists” you’ll be well rewarded.

Colorado… The first American Communist state. Praise Jesus!

Wait, who are you guys? Why are you taking me? I was extolling the virtues of the party… Oh come on, I’m being arrested for saying Jesus? And I’m white? No you’re wrong, I’m 1/16th black on my mothers side. No! I’m not resisting arrest.. Prison? What for? Won’t someone help me?

Colorado… Has been added to the states that I will not consider living in. I may visit once more for a wedding, but after that… Nope!


I’m waiting to see what California does… You know California is going to try to outdo Colorado. I don’t know what California will do but I’m sure it’ll be a complete subversion of what the majority of us older folks believe America is / was about. 

Perhaps, California will handle it by simply arresting Donald Trump and his staff when they land for a campaign stop. That would one-up Colorado. Especially if they reactivated Alcatraz. That would show Trump!

At this point I fully expect California will “Forget” to print Republican mail in ballots, but they’ll make sure that Democrat mail in ballots are printed and mailed out at least 6 weeks early.

Not that it matters in California, the Republicans are such a minority here, they couldn’t fill a sports stadium.

In that regard California has already bested Colorado. There’s no real need to count votes here. Pick any liberal money spending scheme, or any democrat candidate. Whatever is the absolute worst for the people, budget, or state and they / it  automatically wins.
