Make (P)ergressives Clutch Pearls?

Not a bad idea. Given the cost of ammo and the distance to a shooting range, I may pass.

Yes!

Social Security Fraud

DOGE has uncovered massive Social Security fraud. Why not take those 55,000 IRS employees Biden hired and put them to work on this? Or, helping with the administrative side of deportations.

 Selma, AL

Reading this stirred a memory again about this time I our history.

MORE

 I had a job testing pre-production cars and trucks around 2010-2012 that involved frequent trips to Montgomery, AL and the Hyundai plant.

Often I would have a day or two lay over. On one occasion I visited Selma.  Two things struck me during my visit. Among the patrons at a small restaurant where I had lunch were two black policemen. Nobody in the place seemed to find that unusual including the policemen. The second was a fairly elaborate interpretive walk near the Edmund Pettus Bridge. While well done the walk was rundown and full of trash! This angered me.

Everywhere you go in the South you will see Confederate cemeteries in great condition (and some neglected). It struck me black university fraternities and sororities could damn well devote a few weekends a year maintaining the place as a matter of pride and honoring the people who bleed and died there advancing civil rights. 

Late Night Musings

Was I born a rebel? No, more like born a malcontent. Is it my Irish DNA? The Irish will seldom fight for anything but will always fight against everything.

 Deep State

Back when Willie was running for President, the mantra was, “It is the economy, stupid”. The Swamp and their camp followers will scream, “Orange Man Bad” as loud and shrill as possible hoping the sheeple will ignore the evidence pilling up that we dirt people have been hosed for decades. Will it work?

Do Environazis Clutch Pearls?

President Trump’s nominating Kathleen Sqamma as BLM Director is giving them vapors. Horrors! She currently heads up The Western Energy Alliance working to promote the interests of oil and gas producers.

Who are they?

MORE

First order of business is moving the BLM Headquarters back to Grand Junction, CO.

Soon there will more good paying jobs available for the common folk of the rural West instead of service jobs catering to those wealthy enough to afford to recreate. Can’t happen soon enough, IMO.

 Next target? Hopefully the Forest Service.

National Guard

Deploying Nation Guard members outside the United States, absent a declared war, shouldn’t happen, IMO. I’ve always felt this to be proper. I’m likely to be in the minority on this subject.

The Biden Administration seemly used National Guard units as political pawns. Let us hope the Trump Administration is different.

Reminder

While comments are not censored, anonymous comments, no matter how well written, are deleted. Folks, put a “handle” on your comment. It doesn’t need to have a link; must have a name!

 As always, YMMV

100% spot on about moving BLM (as in land management) out of Washington and the other BLM (and you all know who they are) into cleaning their own house and memorials.

I read about the "shot heard round the world" celebratory shoot with interest. My sixth-great grandfather was present for the festivities that morning. I've often wondered what was going thru his head, standing there with his musket watching what must have looked like the entire British army marching toward him. They meant to have a war, and I'm pretty sure he knew it. So I think I'll see what I can do about stirring up some interest in this locally. Thanks muchly for the heads up.

i agree with ALL, especially moving BLM.

BLM was moved back under Biden. Excluding Alaska, almost all of BLM managed lands are in the West.

Perhaps I will take the 35 minute drive out to the Pawnee Grassland and let a round off out of my North American Arms pocket pistol.

So far I've deleted five anonymous comments. All lengthy, all the same theme.

We all knew the fraud was there but the sheer, industrial scale of it? Maybe not so much.

Malcontent? With you.

Maybe this will kill off some of the RINOs.
