Well, the power is still on, the water is still coming from the tap. It looks like the internet is still up.<\/p>\nWell, the power is still on, the water is still coming from the tap. It looks like the internet is still up.<\/p>\n
The laws of physics still apply. Cities aren\u2019t in flames, (yet). The world spins on.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m honestly waiting with anticipation to hear how many useless departments, and sub departments get done away with. The wailing and gnashing of teeth from the left should be epic.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m hoping that Trump is true to his word and instead of furloughs, he really does fire a shit ton of parasites from various government offices.<\/p>\n
Six weeks from now the left media will be trying to flex by saying that the government is having to rehire some of those people. So what? The lesson will be that just because you\u2019re a government employee it doesn’t mean that you can\u2019t be fired. Maybe that will translate into the lesson government workers need to learn. Do your job! It\u2019s not a free ride.<\/p>\n
In the near term, the media will no doubt rend their clothing and complain that \u201cTrump forcing a shutdown\u201d which he didn\u2019t do, (This is on Schumer all the way,) added to the national unemployment numbers.<\/p>\n
Not to worry\u2026 When ICE gets done deporting people, for example the folks in Minnesota that committed immigration fraud like Ilhan Omar apparently did, there will be openings. Oh wait\u2026 turns out the folks in Minnesota didn\u2019t actually work at the non-existent businesses they claimed to work at. Big<\/strong> surprise!!!<\/p>\n Well, at the very least sending the H1B and F1 visa workers back to their countries of origin will open up call center jobs for the displaced government workers. Not that it will matter much to folks like me that have been kicked to the curb for being older, white and male.<\/p>\n I\u2019m planning to have a big bowl of popcorn when ICE gets to the fake \u201cEmployment\u201d companies that favor only H1B employees and waste American Job Seekers time for non-existent jobs.<\/p>\n Who knows? Maybe the displaced government workers, upon having a taste of the real job market will learn something and kick the old out of touch politicians out of office.<\/p>\n The H1B and other visa programs have been abused for years. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing them cleaned up. I\u2019d probably be happier seeing them discontinued altogether. Not that it will make much difference to me personally at this late stage in my life, but it will make a big difference to the youngsters in my family & other families who are the wrong ethnicity when they try to join the job market.<\/p>\n Joy Reid actually said something that was mostly true on one of the chat shows. She pointed out that what MAGA wants is for us to return to a time when there were no taxes, and people could earn as much as they wanted to, and people could pass their wealth and houses down to their children without paying taxes.<\/p>\n Yep! That\u2019s exactly what most of America wants. You could see her brain reboot when she actually heard the words coming out of her mouth. She must have realized that actually didn\u2019t sound so bad, and that she was on the verge of admitting that the welfare state was totally dependent on taxation. So all those people getting free rides were doing so on the backs of people that were tired of being taxed.<\/p>\n Well, we see what happens. Trump has sent out some more memes with Jefferies & Schumer in sombreros. The left is apoplectic. JD Vance was obviously having fun at a press conference and honestly, he\u2019s sooo my next President.<\/p>\n Pete Hegseth told the top brass to get their shit together and to incentivize them, he made it a mandate that they have to pass physical fitness tests every 6 months. No more fat assed REMFs in the Pentagon! He didn\u2019t say women couldn\u2019t be in the military, he said they had to be fit enough to be in the military. Then he topped it off by doing aways with all the B.S. trans & gay crap. He didn\u2019t say gays couldn\u2019t be in the military but essentially said the military doesn\u2019t give a shit who you sleep with, you\u2019re supposed to be a hard assed weapon, a killer in the cause of defending your country. To all of this, I say\u2026 FANFUCKINGTASTIC!<\/p>\n I guess that makes me an existential threat to democracy. No worries! We live in a Constitutional Republic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, the power is still on, the water is still coming from the tap. It looks like the internet is still up.
