I thought about letting it go, but Naaahhhh!

Two articles jumped out at me.

I know they’re only articles from Breitbart, so there are some people who would say, “Oh you can’t believe what they say! They’re conservative, and not from the main stream. They’re basically The Enquirer!

Yeah sure. They’re also right more than they’re wrong, also I don’t have to put up with endless annoying paywalls that block my reading the first paragraph of an article. So whatever.

Anyhoo, these two articles are unrelated in almost every way. 

MixCollage 17 Oct 2024 09 21 AM 3667 640x480.The first deals with a sudden increase of unaccompanied minors at Eagle Pass TX. The second deals with Swannanoa North Carolina, a town that was almost completely wiped out due to Hurricane Helene.

The unaccompanied minors story is shocking because some of the children are as young as 5. What the hell is that about? It looks like the CBP folks are taking care of the kids, many of whom have phone numbers either written on them, or they have phone numbers and addresses of relatives on slips of paper.

This whole border thing is a tragedy of the first order. I’m not heartless but I am mindful that lifeboats can only carry so many people before everyone drowns.

It costs between $250 & $750 a day to care for each one of these children. As of October 4, there are more than 6000 children being looked after. Even if you average the cost, per day, per child, over time the math is staggering.


IMG_0601 1 640x480.The second article about Swannanoa North Carolina is just sad.

The town is pretty much destroyed. Locals are living in the ruins of their homes or in tents on their ancestral land. I use that term because some of these folks have lived on these properties for 200 years or more.

They’re staying in tents for a couple of reasons. There’s no place for them to go locally. The nearest town is a 20 minute drive away (10-20 Miles?) and most of its businesses are closed. 

Hotels are charging $200 a night and are pretty much booked. These folks are in some cases staying on their lands, afraid their land could be seized. By whom the article doesn’t say, but the government is the most likely villain.

There’s a history in some of these small towns, of the government suits coming in telling the people they’ve gotta leave, and saying, “If you don’t like it, take it up in court”.

These people are generally dirt poor and can’t afford lawyers and protracted legal battles. That’s how the government wins & also why there are many unsolved disappearances of government representatives in those mountains.

The government via the IRS operates the same way. They’ve made things so complex that it’s easier to pay whatever they say you owe than to hire your own accountants, & tax attorneys, and fight for years in court after court blowing time and money. The government knows this, they plan on it, and since our government hates us and looks upon us as nothing more than assets to be fleeced when they want to engage in a war or whatever, they know they’ll generally win. The really annoying part of them winning is that they do it by spending our own money against us.

I digress a bit. As a Southerner I have a deep, deep, distrust of the federal government. I totally understand why these folks in NC would live in tents to protect their property. 

The article itself is about these people who have literally nothing left, mocking Kamala Harris & the Federal government over the “Generous” $750 per family assistance loans that FEMA is denying most of the time.

The mocking is over this: There is usually no, power, water, or internet, The stores are closed, these folks have lost their vehicles, so even if they were able to get to the nearest town they still wouldn’t be able to spend the “Assistance” because the next nearest town is in the same boat as they are.

Img EFS Imprinter 700px.Credit cards these days don’t work unless there’s power and internet access. Few, if any merchants have one of the old credit card imprint machines much less the receipt carbon stock. Not that they’d work since most cards these days don’t have the numbers embossed. It’s doubtful the employees would know that you can just write the card number on the carbon stock & get a signature.

Beyond that, a lot of folks might not even know how the old system worked, even if they do, I’d bet there are bank tellers who wouldn’t have a clue about processing a deposit bag with cash, checks, & credit card receipts.

But it’s richer. How are these people supposed to get the FEMA $750 credit card in the first place? They may not have mail delivery & even the post office is gone.


I know, you’re thinking, “Yeah, yeah, get to the point WWducat! So what, shits bad…”

Okay, here’s the point. 

CBP is spending in some cases $750 per day per child of taxpayer money with no expectation of being paid back. They’re literally giving the money away.

FEMA is offering, and most of the time denying, a one time, one year, loan of $750 per family to American survivors of a natural disaster.

This is literally just one example of the complete disfunction of the federal government. I’m not suggesting that it’s all to be laid at the feet of the Biden / Harris regime. Some of the blame is surely theirs, but not all of it.

This kind of rot takes a long time to become entrenched and is exactly the kind of rot that needs to be burned out of our government.

This is a perfect example of why there is such growing fury on the part of the American People toward the government.

This is such blatant disparity it begs the questions; “What else is there? How much more waste and stupidity is yet to be found? How much of this kind of thing is generated by corruption? How much is criminal in nature and buried in layers of red tape?

You know, maybe the Southerners have a valid point. 

Never trust the revenuers, or them fancy suits from the government that sent ‘em.

That’s probably why most Southerners will never give up their guns.

Y’all FEMA boys have a nice day now, ya hear.
