Whipped Cream

 How many guvment agencies exist?  According to Forbes, “…no one can say with certainty anymore how many federal agencies exist.”  Oh, my.

 

Also known as the “nanny state,” over-control is not only intrusive, but also punitive.  Closely watching its inhabitant’s goings-on, such meddling is often embraced by the ‘you-know-whos.’  Credit card purchase snooping, tracking your driving, obtaining access to your cell phone, are all ways guvment likes to be uber-instrusive.

 

Think back to elementary school or high school or even your urban neighborhood.  There were always those sixth-grade kids who brought a pack of cigarettes to school.  The logical place to pass them out to fire them up was the Boys Room.  


By chance, the kid who ran back to tattle on us – uh, the other kids smoking and gagging – returned with a teacher.  Standing there coughing around a pile of lungs on the tile floor, we adventurers now had a good spanking waiting for us at home immediately after meeting the principal.  Thanks, you little Boys Room weasel.


It would be appropriate for those weasels to eventually become the directors of some, or most, of those intrusive departments and agencies, only to help make everyone else’s life as miserable as theirs.  But I digress.


You’re likely familiar with most, if not all, of the official United States guvment departments.  They were created over the centuries to better manage the machinations of running a country and continue to grow – almost exponentially – to the chagrin of most residents. 


Those departments are fertilized by bureaucrats with lofty ideas on how to not only manage the country’s affairs, but to control the populace for their own good


A short list of a few of those agencies includes the Departments of Justice, State, Defense, and Interior; those are then broken down into agencies.  For example, the Department of Justice is broken down into the FBI, Bureau of Prisons Drug Enforcement Agency, BATFE, etc.  And so it goes, ad infinitum.


It seems as though these guvment entities are all disciplinary, in nature.  In case you’re mentally wandering in an attempt to think about some that are not, please continue reading.

 

According to news reports, the FBI has been involved with manipulating elections for some years; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, are actively trying to outlaw the Second Amendment; the Department of Defense is blaming slavery and racism on its soldiers; the Department of Transportation blames White Americans for urban bridges that are allegedly keeping Blacks from going to the beach.

 

The Department of Treasury houses the ever-popular Internal Revenue Service, Secret Service, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States.  The IRS is going to hire 87,000 more armed employees to better help you with your tax returns.  Wink, wink.

 

Not to worry, though.  There are plenty of Boys Room weasels who apparently now have federal jobs to continue their mission to get EVERYONE in America to hate them.

 

In Washington, D.C., Miriam Bowser, the Mayor, is claiming the influx of illegal aliens is causing her agita.  It’s not.  What is causing her angst and pains is her hare-brained plan that made Washington a “sanctuary city.”

 

Chicago, Ill., Mayor Lori Lightfoot, has been crying crocodile tears for years over the soaring crime rate.  She blamed White reporters for reporting only the bad news; perhaps they should have complimented the funeral floral arrangements for a more positive note.

 

Guvnor Gavin Newsom has turned a blind eye to smash-and-grab robberies, carjackings, and blatant shoplifting, all resulting in bankruptcies, mayhem, and death.  He went so far as to authorize free drugs and paraphernalia to addicts.  That’s deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize.

 

And so it goes with the guvment – from the local levels to the federal altitude – always having a solution, then searching for a problem.

 

New York Guvnor Kathy Hochul, just announced a solution: prevent anyone under the age of 21-years old from buying aerosol whipped cream.  Evidently, the 108,000 fentanyl-related deaths in 2021 are not as big an issue as those deaths from whipped cream.  An ardent interweb search revealed no statistics related to whipped cream.


 

In the spirit of helping, I propose establishing a much-needed NEW guvment department:

The Department of Enough Already.

 

Just a thought.
