I just watched Mayor Bass’s press conference

Frankly I’m confused.

On the one hand she kept stressing that if people do something illegal, they’ll be arrested. Okay…

In the same breath she’s telling ICE to stop arresting people. Which is it lady?

ICE is arresting people who supposedly are here illegally. So I really don’t understand. 

Today, there are scattered reports of Marines from 29 Palms being sent to Los Angeles. I have questions about this too.

The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 prevents the use of military personnel in domestic law enforcement unless authorized by law. I don’t know who makes that authorization, I presume Congress. So I’m concerned on two fronts:

1) Has Trump violated his boundaries as defined by Congressional oversight? 2) If the Marines are being deployed I’m concerned that Marines will be standing around with big assed targets on their backs.

Mayor Bass was trying to pull heart strings taking about how fearful the immigrants are in Los Angeles. Duh! If you’re here illegally, whether it’s a day or a decade you have broken the law.

You should be afraid, if you’re smart, you should be planning to pack up your shit, and go home. If you’re self deporting heading for Tijuana I doubt seriously ICE is going to stop you.

Mayor Bass said, “Stop the raids, they’re causing fear and chaos in our city.”

So what the fuck does she propose? Obviously the raids will be ongoing. She’s asking for the US to continue to accept illegal immigrants. They’re blaming Trump. In my opinion they should be blaming Biden.

If you think about it, had Biden not thrown the borders wide open, then everything would have continued on status quo. But Biden’s actions pissed off a rather large swath of the American populace and this is the inevitable backlash.

As my mother used to say, “All it takes is a few bad apples and everyone loses the ability to do something.”

In this case, there were too many illegal crossings, most of them barely vetted, and then they disappeared into the interior of the country with the help of federally funded relocation via buses, planes, trains, and automobiles.

Hell, the illegals were allowed to get onto planes with virtually zero documentation while American Citizens were almost being strip searched to get on a plane.

While our elders, were squeaking by on an average of $1500 a month, the illegals were having housing provided, getting stipends of 3 or 4 thousand dollars per month, getting free medical care, and getting free phone service.

Surely someone in the Biden administration, at some point had to think, “Maybe this isn’t a good idea.”

Granted, It had probably been going on for years, but with so many people surging the border the fact that illegals were being treated better than Americans who’d worked their whole lives paying into a system that congress has raided innumerable times and who effectively betrayed them, couldn’t be hidden anymore.

Of course there was going to be a backlash, well this is it.

As I watched Mayor Bass’s conference, I couldn’t help thinking that this was a Mayor who was clueless and flailing. Newsom is no better.

Here we go again, Summer of Love 2.0?

Los angeles protests 2386959498.Interesting.

The National guard is being deployed in LA.

None of this is surprising. We all knew the riots and looting would happen and all of us have just been waiting for a spark. Looks like the spark for LA is ~200 illegals being arrested by ICE.

There have been several posts on X where the protestors are showing their bruises from rubber bullets. Oh, the poor babies! At this point with all the protests I’m for the police using live rounds. All it would take is once.

LA protests Arrests made as clashes continue into 3rd night 750x529 2899062660.I see this morning that, in a surprising turn (to no-one), stores have been looted. Who would have seen that coming? Book stores are as usual immune. But the Tmobile stores, and any store that carries tennis shoes have been hit.

I saw one unconfirmed report that The Muslim brotherhood had joined in the LA protests too. 

Yawn!

Daddy & Elon are having a spat, Jamie Raskin is calling for Trump to be impeached, big surprise! Kathy Lee Griffin is claiming that there was election tampering, (not that her opinion matters in the least.)

It’s only interesting because when it was her guy, elections were “fair and honest”. She is a low rent comedian fighting to maintain relevance, it’s just interesting how her opinions change with the wind. 

That could be said of all the politicians and at least 90% of Hollywood too.

I saw a report that protestors were lighting brushfires in LA. That’s a brilliant move! They’ll burn down the rest of the city then all the illegals will have to relocate. Dumbasses!

Watching the Waymo taxis burning in the streets, all I could think was; “Who’s going to pay the carbon tax for that? Surely the AQMD is looking to fine someone for the pollution.”

It’s got to be quite a conundrum for the leftist liberal transgendered crowd. How ever will they resolve the conflict over protesting against ICE enforcement and protesting for “trans rights” & “gender affirming” care for 3 year olds? Then there’s the horror of them not having time to attend PRIDE events.

I don’t think the protestors or their benefactors have any clue just how over it “Normal” America is.

Poland is looking better all the damn time. Safe, clean streets, pastoral land, nice people…

It’s not that I’m anti-Trump, I’m just sick to freakin death of the chaos. Essentially sixteen years, or more, of this shit is quite enough.

Well, I better make sure the “Go-Bag” is ready. If the protests and inevitable fires they start, spread beyond the LA Basin, I should be ready to bail. 

This is certainly not how I expected my last years on this Earth to be.

Elon is stepping away from Washington.

elon musk.jpgSaw that coming!

Let’s see, the guy has been castigated for volunteering his time, he’s been demonized as an “unelected” employee. (You mean like, as we’ve come to find out, almost the entire Biden Administration? Just sayin…) Teslas have become rolling targets for vandalism and demonstration vehicles for the completely bullshit concern purple haired liberals have for the environment, and he’s lost a shit ton of money.

All this for what?

Congress and specifically the GOP mutually masturbating each other with faux contentious hearings about cutting waste out of the government, while asshole judges interdict deportations, closures/consolidations of poorly run federal departments, where the very people that welcomed unvetted millions scream and rend their clothing about 80 or so white South Africans who are literally leaving their homes & farms that have been in their families for 300 years, and let’s not forget… Virtually no arrests for blatant and breathtaking corruption.

Yeah, of course he’s stepping away. In any system, there is a point where it can’t be saved and it’s better to just scrap it, or burn it to the ground.

Washington D.C. A shit-hole place where lies, crime, murder, corruption, double standards, theft, graft, blackmail, and whoring, is just business as usual. Hell, they’ve enshrined it in law!

Good for you Elon. Bail out! Because you can’t do any good trying to repair something where the disfunction is normalized and that is so horrifically broken it’s essentially continuing on, “We’ve always done it this way,” momentum.

I understand his frustration. I’d bet at least 50% of the country is just as frustrated and wondering, “What’s next?”

I fight waking up every morning wondering, “How will those cocksucking bastards fuck us today? The really annoying part is that they’re not even skilled cocksuckers!” If that’s my first thought in the morning, I’ll roll over and go back to sleep hoping for a reset in my thinking when I wake up again.

We can’t keep going this way. But that’s exactly what the morons in D.C. want. Just to be clear, they have the power of judges in their pockets, shitty laws,  regulations, and spineless politicians at their beck & call to enforce it.

I’ve seen a lot of dystopian movies. Virtually none of them ever explained how they got to a dystopian state. I’m thinking we’re living in the prequel of those stories right now.

The closest series of movies to show “The Fall” may be Atlas Shrugged Pts 1-3.

For the record, to all the Leftists and Liberals smugly thinking, “Ahhh this guy regrets voting for Trump,” I don’t!

I regret what’s coming next. 

When the shit hits the fan, all you Leftists & Liberals had better not come crying to people like me. We’ll kick you in ‘the box’ and keep on walking!

Obviously, I wasn’t able to get a reset with 30 minutes of added sleep this morning.

Rant Over!

Oh FFS! Have Conservatives and Republicans lost their damn minds?

To be clear, I have an intense dislike for James Comey. It started when he was demanding Apple provide the FBI with backdoor access to iPhones to make it easy for the FBI to engage in illegal searches and surveillance of citizen’s phones.

I felt at the time that his demands were antithetical to the protections afforded by The Constitution against illegal search and seizure. I still feel that way. Then he protected Hillary Clinton over her illegal email server and destruction of evidence. All the while facilitating investigations of people who disagreed with Obama.

People who were exercising their rights by attempting to start grass roots political organizations because they felt that neither the Democrat or Republican Party was serving the best interests of the people. A.K.A. Folks who called out the government at large and Obama Administration in particular.

The guy is an absolute douche bag. He should have been tried for his malfeasance and if found guilty put in prison. At the very least he should have been forced out of the FBI much sooner than he was and faded from public view.

All that being said, this latest controversy over 8647 is complete and utter bullshit.

Anybody that’s been around a bar on a Friday or Saturday night knows exactly what 86 means. If a bouncer threatens to 86 you from a bar it means you’re going to be asked to leave. Usually for the night because you’re too rowdy, but in extreme cases, you can be 86’ed permanently.

Comey knew that. He can’t be that stupid, and if he is that stupid, he should never have been the director of the fucking FBI.

This wasn’t a death threat, it wasn’t a call to do harm to the President, it was a simple exercise of free speech. (You know, the First Amendment?) It’s well known that Comey doesn’t like President Trump. I don’t care if he simply took a picture, or if he positioned the stones himself. He’s entitled to exercise free speech, as are we all.

The message is simple. 8647 means throw Trump out of office. That’s it. Reading anything more into it is just stupid.

This is no different than wishing to throw Obama out of office, or Biden, or Bush, or Clinton, or Nixon. There have been, and always will be, people that believe the President sucks and it’s their right to say it.

Conservatives and Republicans making a big deal out of this simply debases both groups to the same level of stupid as their Democrat and leftist counterparts.

Comey is an asshole. That’s been obvious for a long time.

The rest of us don’t have to be assholes, nor should we drop to their level.

I think this whole thing is nothing more than part of a smoke screen to obscure that Congress isn’t getting enough done, Biden was never in control of the government, and the leftists are gearing up for another “Summer of Love”. A.K.A. riots and looting disguised as protests.

We need to keep our eyes on the ball. Regardless of where any of us stand on politics. We all know something is deeply wrong and our country is / has been in trouble for a long while.

Continuing on as if nothing is wrong does not serve us. What does serve us, is trying to make things better by trying different approaches, then keeping what works, and tossing aside those ideas that don’t work.

I’m ready to see DOJ indictments against those people who have been the architects of this mess we’re in. I think a great starting point is with Congressional members who have been in power for 20, 30, 40, or 50 years. There’s a lot to suggest that many members of Congress have failed their duties, The People, and their oaths of office, while becoming wealthy in the process. All of which should be actionable in a court of law.

It’s also time for plans to be drawn up to ensure once our government is cleaned up, this sort of thing can never happen again.

My personal short list is:

No more Congressional stock trades.

All members of Congress shall be under oath to the American People at all times, under penalty of immediate imprisonment. No more lies!

Term limits similar to those of The President.

Members of Congress using the same medical coverage as The People.

No more of Congress voting to give themselves raises.

If the Government shuts down, so does Congressional pay. I’d even be in favor of Congress losing 2X their daily pay for each day the government is shut down.

No more paid lobbyists. No more big campaign donations from corporations, unions, or anyone else.

Level the campaign/elections playing field so that all candidates must demonstrate their ability to budget and win their elections on merit, not funding.

Congress shall turn in a balanced budget and shall not recess until they’ve done so.

No more pork bills. One bill, one issue, one law, at a time. That makes repealing ill conceived laws a hell of a lot easier.

Mandatory reviews of laws and immediate repeal of laws which have negative unintended consequences.  

Just to list a few ideas.

Though I obviously don’t speak for all Americans, I’m personally tired of Congress kicking the can down the road, playing with Trillions of tax dollars, drinking champagne and eating caviar at beltway parties, while people like me are down to eating one meal a day.

I’d also say it’s well past time for James Comey to be 86’ed from the airwaves. Why are we still having to put up with his bullshit?

OH WOW! I’m late to the game on this one.

I admit it.

I didn’t watch or read any of the news over the weekend. I obviously noted that the Pope died on Monday. I’ve skimmed headlines flashing on my phone screen but other than the major stuff, I pretty much ignored everything.

Yesterday, I got a hankering to actually write. That was welcome, and I literally dropped everything to write while the muse was upon me.

Didn’t do too bad either. I’ve got my protagonist and antagonist lined out. I’ve got an interesting ally and the general tone of the story well enough along that I can pick up where I left off. It wasn’t too shabby a start. It was like my brain letting go of everything and just letting the ideas flow.

Today, I got back to cleaning and tossing more stuff, there’s still a lot to go and I’m working on disassembling tech.

I’m boxing up the stuff that makes things effortless, (meaning one cable connection from the computer to any possible peripheral device I might want to use). This simplification of devices means that if I want to use something, I’ll have to actually plug it in. Big Deal!

Anyhow, I had the news running in the background and heard some clip from Representative Jamie Raskin. I’d read several headlines about him on some podcast or other and as usual rolled my eyes.

But when I heard what he actually said, my blood ran cold. His quote wasn’t that the Democrat party wouldn’t look kindly on countries that facilitated the Trump administration agenda, as had been reported on many outlets.

His comment was, “When we come back to power — and we will — are not going to look kindly upon people who facilitated authoritarianism in our country.

Say what? Who the fuck does this asshole think he is?

Does he mean to say that the Democrat party will used their weaponized law fare system to persecute and prosecute average American Citizens who supported Trump? The Trump administration having now become synonymous with Authoritarianism. (Sorry, but the Biden Administration looked a lot more authoritarian on day fucking one, than Trump’s thus far.)

Is Raskin saying the Democrats will take a dim view of anyone who voted for Trump, wore a MAGA hat, drove a Tesla, agreed with Trump, spoke out against law fare, illegal immigration, high taxes, bloated government, wasteful spending, the transification & stripping children of their innocence, the denial of Due Process for J6 detainees, who spoke out against mandatory vaccines, DEI, and every fucking obscenity we barely survived under the Biden Administration? Just a reminder… We still don’t know who was running the country but we all now know it’s pretty likely Joe Biden was not in control.

Did this sitting congressman just threaten at least 1/2, perhaps more of the American People?

He did say the Democrats wouldn’t look kindly on people… Not countries.

I don’t know how to take that comment other than as a threat. You know what? I’m getting damn sick and tired of Government officials threatening me!

We already know the Democrat party will suggest imprisonment for people who do not comply with their asinine edicts. Remember COVID? Anyone remember Biden threatening people who didn’t take the vaccine? How about folks that spoke out at school board meetings? Let’s not forget Maxine Waters telling African Americans to go into restaurants and coffee shops to harass not just Republicans she disagreed with, but every fucking person in the place!

We know Democrats will imprison people with different political ideologies for 3-4 years without trial, bail, or due process. All the while clutching their pearls saying that Democracy and The Constitution are under attack.

We also know that the only time the Democrats are interested in due process is when a fucking illegal alien is rightfully deported.

Representative Raskin should probably consider that most of the American People look upon the last four long years, as having already paid our fucking dues.

If by some unbelievable method, probably involving cheating, the Democrat party regains control and comes for people who facilitated the Trump Administration, they better come loaded for bear.

How the hell do these morons keep getting elected time and again?

Raskin saying what he said, should result in his office being cleaned out and his shit sitting at the curb. He’s supposedly a lawyer.

Theoretically, lawyers are masters of the English language. I will find it hard to believe his inevitable walking back of his words as a misunderstanding, or mischaracterization, or being taken out of context.

Sorry Raskin… I can read, and my hearing is just fine!
