The Carrot and Stick

 

  While not being a keeper of farm animals, I am familiar with an idiom about a carrot and stick. It alludes to enticing a stubborn mule to move while dangling a carrot on a string attached to a stick. This arrangement is said to have worked because of reward and punishment used as persuasive measures.

In the early 1960’s, someone with an idea to save lives captured the imagination of the federal guvment politicians with an invention termed “seat belts.” These straps with a buckle were “sold” as a safety standard to save lives in automobile crashes. They were going to protect travelers from flying out of vehicles keeping passengers alive in the event of a wreck.

Mandated to be installed in all new vehicles henceforth, seat belts were greeted with mixed results. They were seen as overstepping by the federal guvment to summarily control peoples’ lives, at which time we were assured they were there if you voluntarily wanted to use them. Amen.

After a few years, statistics showed seat belts were not the magic bullet for which the authorities has hoped. Finding that although they worked at restraining vehicle riders, survivors often wound up with severe spinal injuries resulting in lifetimes confined to beds or wheelchairs. Improvement was needed.

The addition of a shoulder/chest-crossing strap was deemed the perfect solution to solve any and all unforeseen problems seat belts brought to the party. Another mandate was issued to auto manufacturers as means to guaranteed safety.

Unfortunately, there was still room for improvement as although passenger restraints in a spider-like web of harnesses appeared to secure people inside cars and trucks, more and more survivors had now realized neck injuries with which to suffer – often in perpetuity.

Enter: the air bag. Introduced as a sure-fire way to prevent neck injuries in head-on collisions, air bags were just what the doctor ordered. But here’s the rub: people needed to wear and use all – ALL – the safety restraints in order for them to work and work properly. How could the guvment assure everyone would use these safety measures?

Glad you asked.

You see, after seat belts were made mandatory accessories in cars, purchasers paid extra for the benefit of having them even though they might never use them. Think: cigarette lighters and ashtrays which were standard equipment in all automobiles until just a few years ago when the overreaching guvment outlawed smoking in cars due to possible damage to small child passengers.

But somewhere along the way, a federal guvment official thought it would be prudent to reach back into the Federal Department of Idioms and resuscitate the time-proven Carrot and Stick swindle.

Remember when I mentioned how the newly introduced seat belts would never be mandatory? They lied. Yep. The federal guvment lied to Americans because, under penalty of law, passengers on America’s roads were now supposed to use all restraints in order to avoid financial punishment.

In any case, America being America found that more rural states – along with counties therein rebelling against any restriction of “freedom” fought back to declare they would not, NOT, obey draconian rules about protecting people who didn’t want to be protected. Period. Double period.

This is where politicians excel: extorting money from loyal American taxpayers. Although normally dimwitted, taxpayers don’t usually see the harm in compliance with laws and regulations that are offered as beneficial to everyone, as long as everyone is subject to the regulations, evenly.

Those individual rebellious states who refused to participate in this seemingly illegal grift of extracting hard-earned cash from working-class wallets suddenly found themselves at a crossroads. They could comply and all would end well, or they could snub their noses at Uncle Sam and have precious federal highway funding severed – guillotine-like – as punishment for not playing well with others.

Of course, the ultimate solution was to swallow their pride and accept the carrot rather than the business end of the stick.

It didn’t take long to realize that although the medicine was bitter, it was better than financial suicide. And all fifty-states decided to participate with a smile.

Which leads us to the several year-old elephant in the room: illegal immigration.

Realizing from whence manna comes, state politicians, including gubenors, felt it prudent to offer open doors to any and all refugees in the form of new voters as well as new federal funding to pay for all the carrot and stick goodies offered to the “newcomers.”

Declaring themselves “Sanctuary States” as fast as greased lightning, these non-conformist rebellious states created Depression Era-like bread lines with extended hands at the steps of Congress. But it took five-years to arrive at our current juncture where money is the driving force of most legislation and statutes.

Amidst a severe drought in federal funding, while facing the threat of terroristic-leaning, anti-American activities, all the while funding the absolute mayhem former President “Plugs” Biden let into or country, the obvious choice from where the states could get mo’ money was the federal guvment.

This is where, as a MAGA voter, and Trump loyalist, I part ways with “The Donald” on the way he is handling the invasion of our once sovereign nation by unvetted, nonconformist foreigners, many of whom have no intention of assimilating into our society.

With President Trump sending guvment entities in the form of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plus U.S. Marshals into varying cities to round up the most dangerous of those criminal trespassers for deportation, it was quickly learned the Democratic guvment types and their staunch voters refused to comply with applying the infamous “Rule of Law.”

Gubenors, egotistical mayors, Congressclowns, arrogant Senators, judges at all levels, along with local counsels all gave President Trump the proverbial big middle finger when he asked for cooperation with steering America back on track to a safer, saner place for everyone to enjoy.

Of course, President Trump is much too busy to read this humble blog. But his staff may not be. In which case, please pass this thought on to El Jefé.

It might be time for resurrecting the ol’ carrot and stick trick and cut off all federal funding to any and all jurisdictions not complying with our federal law enforcement personnel in identifying and rounding up the lawbreakers in our midst.

The use of money as an incentive has usually worked and worked well. It is time to employ the same tactics used with safety devices in vehicles to correct the mayhem currently encouraged in our nation today.

And finally, please pass my regards on to President Trump. Thanks!

Seven Facts

 

  There used to be a saying popular in political circles: “If you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle ‘em with BS.”

Those words were regularly used behind closed doors by politicians and managers alike. Broken down for the naïve in our audience, they mean you don’t really need to say anything substantive; you just need to make it mind-boggling enough to confuse the masses.

Here are some facts. Not just any facts, but really good facts you might want to learn and store for future use.

Fact one: Members of the United States Congress can lie during debate without penalty. Yes, you read that correctly. “The Speech or Debate Claus of the U.S. Constitution states that “[F}or any Speech or Debate in either House,” Members of Congress “shall not be questioned in any other Place.” The clause serves various purpose: principally to protect the independence and integrity of the legislative branch by protecting against executive or judicial intrusions into the protected legislative sphere, but also to bar judicial or executive processes that may constitute a “distraction” or “disruption” to a Member’s representative or legislative role. This nauseating, abbreviated blurb can be found, at length, at congress.gov, as it is an official document issued by Congress itself.

Not in reptilian lawyer words, this painful official document covers the butts of both House and Senate members who have trouble with the truth.

Here’s a terrific time for you to consider for yourself, “Why would politicians want to lie, and why would they need protection therefrom?”

Answer: Because there’s money, power, and integrity involved.

Let’s take a stroll down the road to some of the money, power, and integrity that needs to be so dearly protected.

A fellow named Barack Hussein Obama served as president for two terms. During those terms, he rabidly pushed for ‘medical insurance’ for all, which led voters to believe it was ‘medical care’ for all. You can clearly see the difference with a distinction. And 16-years later, those lies promoted by Democratic Congressfolk, are coming due in the form of astronomical premium increases.

There were also “shovel-ready” jobs awaiting the unemployed. Unfortunately, the con was evident when Obama openly chuckled that those ‘jobs weren’t as shovel-ready as he thought.’ Ha, ha. That was over a trillion dollars in higher taxes ago.

Of course, Obama was unable to earmark or write checks for anything inasmuch as Congress controls the money. Good thing they were willing to appease Speaker Nancy Pelosi in helping drive our economy into unimaginable debt that will haunt America’s youngest residents for generations.

Fact two: Donald Trump, our 45^th President, was slandered by politicians, as well as the legacy media, throughout his 2016 campaign for the Presidency.

Slurs over blatant falsehoods about everything from his alleged association with hookers, foreign leaders, sexual assaults, plus child sex rings were spewed non-stop. There were no consequences to these and other accusations; still, they continue to haunt his every move – being used as a giant distraction to getting our nation back on track.

Fact three: President Joseph Robinette “Plugs” Biden was handily elected to serve as our 46^th President, at which time his hare-brained ideas drove our national debt to nose-bleed levels...$34 trillion! The interest alone amounted to a whopping $970,000,000 per year. But who really cares?

In a clear effort to make himself sound and appear smarter than he actually was, pundits from The Left, mainstream media, Democratic politicians, endless internet influencers, plus a compendium of simple-minded actors, actresses, and minstrel-type musical entertainers found themselves mired with self-relevancy regarding their personal positions on Donald Trump.

Quickly taking positions resembling a rugby scrum, people from both sides of the aisle took to publicly criticizing any and everything related to Donald Trump as well as his wildly popular Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. The delineation was crystal clear.

Regaling crowds of fawning reporters and admiring snookered voters, Plugs Biden gleefully spewed one lie after another about his career as a semi-truck driver, young street thug, train engineer, college scholar, plus his arrest in South Africa alongside Nelson Mandela, providing Americans with 500,000 EV charging stations, besides claiming illegal immigrant children detained at the Southern Border were housed in cages built by President Trump, all of which were outlandish fabrications accepted as truth by the media. More BS.

Fact four: Referring back to fact one, it was quickly obvious that through public arrests, riots, disclosures of lack of candor, litigations, and whistle blowers, smarmy politicians disguised as caring, thoughtful legislators eagerly discovered their thespian genes attempting to rid America of a man – Donald Trump – they openly called “Hitler” and “Nazi.”

With now-regular press conferences, constant displays of hate and vitriol have been used to drive wedges among the masses. Undeterred, Trump and his MAGA crusaders continued their quest to retake America from the insane running our once sovereign nation aground. It was now or never.

But it was going to prove difficult to convince the average voter that they were summarily lied to by people they had trusted, many venerated, some for decades.

However, the fix was in. The average person was unable to differentiate between a lie and the truth due to the razzle dazzle performed by esteemed politicians, familiar news readers, co-workers, neighbors, clergy, even family members.

Fact five: Just below the surface of society’s waters lurked a seemingly out-of-control invasion of America by misfits, criminals, and non-conformists: illegal aliens. These new residents – I refuse to call them citizens due to their disdain for our rule of law – took to receiving free goodies offered them by Democrats as if they were distributing Halloween candy. But it was all planned.

With no apparent need or want to assimilate into our society, many of these latecomers seemed to enjoy drinking mead without exchanging any effort to positively contribute to the involved work. It was a win-win situation for everyone except the compliant taxpayers. What could possibly go wrong?

A dangerous wedge was driven between citizens and ‘new residents,’ dragging bleeding heart liberals to the side of the perpetual ‘gimme gimmes.’ Led by activists, the disaffected, and malcontents, these social warriors are desperately pushing our society toward the brink of societal collapse.

On the other side were sane individuals who were well on their way to reconstituting the United States back to a place where individuals worked as one toward a unified goal that would be beneficial to everyone.

Asking the illegal entrants – the alien invaders who produced no identification on medical paperwork upon entry, besides little in the way of assets – were suddenly found to be protected by Democrats who felt this cause was one worth destroying America over.

Riots ensued when prior criminal lawbreakers were attempted to be rounded up for processing and possible deportation. With politicians and the weak minded among us literally fighting federal, and often local police, simple apprehensions turned violent; some resulted in deaths of feral-like protesters.

Splashed across television and internet devices, uninformed people with only a modicum of information turned local jurisdictions into flaming heaps of anger and division with President Trump 47, as well as MAGA voters, the definitive targets of this blind rage.

Midterm elections, in November 2025, resulted in a number of new team of politicians entering the fray. New Jersey, Virginia, New York City, are just three of the jurisdictions welcoming fresh blood ready to lead. But lead where should have been the question before any ballots were cast.

Instituting seemingly countless intrusive new legislation designed to restrict people’s rights guaranteed under God, clearly spelled out in The Constitution, we, the people, found ourselves facing yet another round of mayhem on the horizon.

Virginia’s freshly minted gubenor, Abigail Spanberger, has been afflicted with writer’s cramp signing one restrictive anti-gun law after another, all in the name of “safety.” This Old Dominion version of

‘If you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle ‘em with BS,’ idiom has pushed Ol’ Virginny to the brink of civility.

Spanberger’s deceit during her campaign would put any seasoned grifting politician to shame – making Plugs Biden look like a rank amateur.

With anti-gun politicians enjoying what they are witnessing in Spanberger’s opening chapter of her version of the Gates of Hell, our formulation has taken on a new life. Nescient pols have been clamoring for attention hoping to be the one who finally rid America of those dangerous, evil, dirty guns.

But how did this Red State arrive at its Purple junction? Once again, the media, ignorant Democratic politicians, with the assistance of Hollywood.

Fact six: Implanting misquotes, vacuous ‘solutions,’ blanket fabrications, along with misplaced fear, the aforementioned non-expert gun experts have been using any and all means necessary to slant every conversation about firearms towards oblivion. (Read: Abolition of the Second Amendment.)

With anointed political media whores popping up like turds in a punch bowl, video and audio clips espousing outlawing guns have been nearly impossible to miss. To even a Neo-gun owner, these rants offer more in the way of misinformation and imbecility than cold and hard facts.

Take, for instance, Representatives – who, incidentally, are supposed to represent – as well as newsreaders actually posing as intelligent journalists, regularly offer inane thoughts on guns, as facts.

Describing a “double barreled magazine with an extended clip,” was what a newsreader stoically offered her audience as solid evidence for gun control, on-camera, in the aftermath of a shooting.

Not to be outdone, a Congressional Representative, holding a modern sporting rifle, uttered the words, “This, right here, has the ability with a thirty caliber clip to disperse 30 bullets within a half a second.”

A different gun “authority” – believed to be a state representative – pointed to a rifle stock designed for handicapped gun enthusiasts, as he asserted it converted the target rifle he was holding into a fully-automatic machinegun.

And yet another showed pictures of rifle cartridges while falsely explaining the largest one was “heat-seeking,” designed to chase its target.

The list of similar videos is seemingly endless with people fancying themselves as “experts” without a single one evident. Rather than proving any points they were attempting to make, they only proved they were not very bright or even capable of formulating cogent thoughts.

Fact seven: These evidenced nitwits would do well to stop feigning knowledge for half-baked, cherry-picked statements. But if you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle ‘em with BS.

Bait and Switch

 

  In the event you’re new to this blogsite, you’re in for a treat.

Normally this space contains folksy stories, personal complaints, or unvarnished political truth. That truth, by the way, is always slanted to the Right because I don’t believe the world’s inhabitants should be divided by race, sex, religion, or hair style.

Today, however, is different, since we are venturing into a realm that will certainly shock our regular visitors.

Our adventure begins well before most of us were born. As a youngster, I was normally glued to the regular television fare consisting of westerns, sitcoms, and cartoons, all generic in nature, all with a message. TVs had black and white pictures – not because color hadn’t yet been invented – and rabbit ears antennas.

These setups evolved into color pictures, shown on screens wider than a napkin, in addition to cable service eliminating those useless rabbit ear antennas. Things were beginning to become civilized.

As things evolved, we discovered new methods of watching, some of which include satellite receivers and Wi-Fi, besides new transmission formats such as high-definition television (HDTV), all of which were designed to enhance viewers pleasure. And life was good.

But just as with most things in life someone will invariably insist the perfect can now be even more prefect. And those are the proverbial burrs on our bare feet at the beach.

To prove my case, Virginia voters recently elected a stoic former CIA employee, who ran her campaign on thrift, cost effectiveness, affordable health care for all, immigration, and honesty. She claimed her time as a U.S. Representative taught her how to navigate through the rough waters of guvment. After all, the first woman gubenor of Virginia was going to improve things. Read: Make perfect more perfect.

Where to start?

Gubenor Abigail Spanberger is one of those people who have all the solutions; now she needs to find the problems. This is a brilliant way to run guvment because the answers sound so great since they always fit the problem, hand-in-glove style. No loose ends, no questions, no debate.

The Guv wants to deal with the immigration issue by refusing to work with the federal guvment and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) thereby eliminating Trump’s Nazi army from doing business in the Old Dominion.

She further has a hankering to lower prices to help constituents navigate their way through daily life. Unfortunately, Gubenor Spanberger is aching to quickly raise costs of hunting and fishing equipment, besides using the environment as a crutch with which to beat Virginia residents into absolute submission.

Virginia Gubenor Abigail Spanberger

Insisting people cease using gas powered tools such as lawnmowers, edgers, leaf blowers, and so on, in order to save our fragile planet from guaranteed destruction, homeowners have been gravitating toward rechargeable tools to hopefully save money over fuel and maintenance. It worked!

Unfortunately, The Guv is jonesing to exact a pound of flesh from environmentally conscious residents by imposing a recurring tax on those tools, much like the annual vehicle tax Virginia levels at their drivers.

This is where you might be thinking: How does all this fit in with television?

I’m glad you asked.

It seems as though Great Britain, the nation across ‘the pond’ consists of three countries: England, Scotland, and Wales. Great Britain (GB) has a magnificent composition of leaders who have been woke for more years than you can imagine.

They opened their doors to immigrants from anywhere and everywhere for decades. Those grateful transplants came bearing unusable baggage in the form of indecipherable languages, diseases, and biased religions, all to the cheers of GB citizenry. They were far more mentally open than those nasty Americans.

London, the capital of England, elected a Muslim mayor just to prove they could all play well together. It’s a shame they couldn’t because of Sharia Law which was voted in to punish the infidels. This measure gave Muslims priority over non-Muslims. Still a genius move on the part of smart GB voters.

As such, freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and all other freedoms inimical to what Muslims feel is appropriate, have been banned and are currently used to incarcerate everyone deemed a bane to society.

Societal banes come from so many avenues including newspapers, the internet, radio, and television, alike. The means to nip these in the bud are through intrusive surveillance and subsequent censorship of whatever the immigrants feel is offensive. And Americans think President Trump is a Nazi dictator.

Since GB is an island, the powers-that-be can fairly easily control the media though the aforementioned monitoring. One of the more creative ways to control the access to information is by making it too expensive for the average citizen.

Leave it to the anointed Leftists in GB to charge citizens a tax on – drum roll, please – televisions. Yes, you read that right. I dare say American politicians couldn’t come up with a plan such as fining their constituents for buying and watching a TV.

The way this revenue stream works is as follows: people pay taxes to the GB guvment to produce programming on their television network system. That tax goes to buy television production equipment, transmission gear, and actors.

But here’s the rub. You also purchase your television set. Now you must pay for the right to own that television. Only a mastermind could conjure up a grift like this.

Which leads me back to Old Virginny.

Gubenor Spanberger seems hell-bent on making things far more expensive in her quest to make things more affordable. It could be the squirrels running loose in her head, or the fact she simply hates Virginia and its residents. But that’s not unusual for greedy Democrats.

She should reach out to the Brits for more information in this golden opportunity to squeeze even more hard-earned money from the electorate. I know she can do it because she lied while snookering a large portion of the voters into making her the first female gubenor in the Commonwealth.

She has already proven she has what it takes to be the president with such superior ideas. This television tax could be another arrow in her quiver to draw the last drop of blood from Virginians.

• Keep an eye on a fellow named Neville Roy Singham. Just sayin’

That being said, we come to the end of yet another Random Thoughts. Thanks for reading, and don’t forget to stop by next week for more terrific content. God Bless you all!

Time for a Choice

 

  Our lives are chock full o’ rules that appear in the form of laws, or simple civility.

For example, some laws include those associated with driving. If you speed while driving, you’re subject to being ticketed and subsequently fined. Those tickets, though, do not end there.

Mandatory insurance is always prepared to stick their noses into all moving violations that will also result in a steep increase in premiums for several agonizing years. The idea is since insurance companies must settle claims for its drivers, they use this opportunity to beat conformance into the driver. And so it goes with the rules, also known as guvmental behavior modification.

Plenty of governmental behavior modification can be found virtually anywhere. And this list of laws is seemingly endless; anything involving cars, guns, children, all the way down to the garbage that departs your home are already addressed by copious laws the guvment has thoughtfully put into place.

Changing out a broken ceiling fan, tossing dead batteries, leaf raking, bike riding, and landscaping are all mentioned in laws created by very fallible, albeit anointed, politicians, for our own good.

On the other hand, rules regarding civility are another matter. This category of freedom-stealing suggestions includes such activities as wearing clothing that can be considered lewd, using foul language in public, driving mufflerless vehicles, and throwing your clam shells on the floor during dinner, are all easily recognized as questionable, but not necessarily criminal activity.

For your information, the main difference between laws and civil behavior is that laws are meant to protect people, in the name of safety, while civil behavior applies to keeping daily life palatable. There’s a huge difference in someone waving a handgun around, and someone loudly snapping chewing. Sure, you want to punch both offenders into submission, but those are differences with distinctions.

In any case, politicians have the uncanny abilities to lie to your face, as well as ignore regulations when it’s convenient for them.

Diving into the deep end of laws made by “lawmakers,” we find ourselves with both Democrats and Republicans placing their thumbs on the scale of truth and tolerance.

Recall the bike riding premise mentioned above. These laws were instituted by concerned, overly nosy, smarmy politicians who claim to have the bet interests of “our children” in their hearts and minds. They don’t. They were merely pandering for votes by creating an overly punitive regulation which will damage an entire family.

Should that family allow their child to ride without protective equipment, a prying neighbor can call the police to report child abuse. That, in and of itself, is criminal. Should the parents be fined? Should the child be removed from the home for its safety?

All this hoopla was for votes. By the way, if the child was aborted, we wouldn’t be talking about this situation. How safe is the “choice” child now? Still, it’s the law, and subject to severe punishment.

Illegally crossing the border is a criminal violation. It proves that if border crossers are unable to follow rules of entry into our country, they would be equally unable to follow other rules. As such, they would, or should, be denied entry into our country lest they continually thumb their noses at questionable activities such as murder and rape.

Begun under the Biden Administration, non-English-speaking foreigners were actually encouraged to cross America’s borders without penalty. The legacy media spent four-years ignoring that invasion with high-ranking guvment officials – including Plugs Biden himself – that “The border was closed.”

Actually, it wasn’t. Four-years was ample time to allow and estimated 12 million to 15 million lawbreakers to flout our laws, with impunity. These ‘newcomers’ came with little in the way of clothing, money, communication skills, or civility. Yet many were able to pay “coyotes” – Mexican guides helping illegals safely cross the Rio Grande – an estimated $5,000 per person!

The only flag that should be
flown in America

That’s a lot of dinero for a family from a poor nation to amass in order to begin life anew. The bestest part is that if the illegal immigrants could not pay for their coyote passage, they would serve as couriers to transport equally illegal drugs into America. That service is a debt that makes criminal enterprises rich.

To appear empathetic to these invaders, federal, state, and local politicians were unable to see anything wrong in ignoring immigration laws; however, they could easily see something in the future that could be of great benefit to these political sleazebags.

Upon arrival in the sovereign nation of the United States, they were met with “gift bags” containing all sorts of goodies. Gift cards for clothing and hygiene products, SNAP cards, new cell phones, maps, plus instructions on how to avoid and handle Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, whose job it is to enforce immigration law. Not the deterrent for which one would hope.

All the while, opportunistic politicians in cities nationwide were quick to jump onto the bandwagon of compassion, opening the doors to everyone and anyone with a pulse, no questions asked. The possibility an illegal might be a criminal in their home country was met with scorn creating an invisible ‘force-field’ termed “sanctuary city.”

This brilliant display of civil disobedience on the part of largely Democrat mayors and gubenors was not without motive. After a few years of public amnesia, these anti-American pols would insist these illegal leaches should be made citizens without question. That would enable the newcomers to gain the right to vote resulting in re-election of their Democrat mentors. Neat, eh?

But the large swath of problems was covered up as much as the Dem’s desired results. If these shenanigans could be kept quiet, the Republican Party would fade into history without a future. The fix was in.

To recap, the Democrats and Democratic Socialists (aka: Communists,) begged literally countless unvetted foreigners to break the law by entering the United States of America without paperwork. Once here, those miscreants were given lots of latitude to include guvment goodies, healthcare, methods of transportation, “free” educations, as well as housing and food – all on the taxpayer’s backs.

Politicians then protected these invaders by not only ignoring pertinent laws, but antagonizing President Donald Trump who inherited this poop hurricane from President Plugs.

But the best part of all this is that many of those nitwits who, only a few months ago were marching around college and university campuses calling for the extermination of Jews, thought it would be a terrific idea to march on behalf of these foreigners who want to remain foreigners within America.

Parading around Minneapolis, Minnesota, waving flags from their home nations, these tribalists proudly felt it was necessary to distinguish themselves from immigrants wanting to join the great melting pot to become citizens. Rather, they were hell-bent on making the rules in their newly adopted country, but with the blessing and protection of both Minnesota Gubenor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

Both those individuals clearly hate something called Law and Order, and I suspect, American taxpayers.

Stifling the law enforcement efforts of ICE, whose job it is to corral immigration scofflaws, have been encouraging the populace to “resist,” “document,” and “hinder,” any and all attempts to round-up wanted individuals by ICE agents.

Rabble rousers from around the nation descended upon Minneapolis to help their Commie buddies summarily hide, besides stifle the identification and capture of wanted illegal aliens.

Blocking roads, blowing warning whistles, using megaphones, while smashing vehicle windows and spray painting the infrastructure, all have become parts of a ‘sport’ with which zeal and over-enthusiasm to create mayhem seems to have been intentionally misdirected by the legacy media and Democrat politicians, alike.

As a result, ICE agents have been doxxed, maimed, harassed, plus physically and mentally abused by these social do-gooders. So, who are they protecting with these life-threatening actions?

Car thieves, spousal abusers, drug dealers, rapists, gang members, murderers, and kidnappers are among those ardently protected by Minneapolis Democrats from being served warrants and finally removed for others’ safety. For your information, it’s called due process.

But left off that list is a bunch of sub-humans termed “child abusers.” Remember that aforementioned helmetless child whose family could be disrupted because of his parents’ not enforcing their offspring’s obligation to wear a safety device?

These child abusers fall under the category of sexual abuse, which activities often lead to the murder of the child victim in order to hide the crime. Not as harmless as a pie-in-the-sky activist would like to believe. These are real, dangerous criminals who are now being protected by lies, lies, and more lies as means to an end.

It’s time to place blame for all the violence where it belongs rather than where the Leftists would like you to believe it belongs.

It should be appropriately, squarely placed on the shoulders of those who actively encourage this smoke and mirrors, tongue-in-cheek hoopla: Tim Walz and Jacob Frey.

A True Fairy Tale

 

  Once upon a time there were two people, appearing to be women, who were on the campaign trail to hold a very high political office.

Citizens living in the Commonwealth of Virginia were recently facing an election to make one of these women the new gubenor for the next four-years. Virginia is a state that allows its gubenor to serve for a term limit of four-years; that’s not a bad idea when a terrible gubenor is elected.

This historic race to the statehouse occurred in 2025, in the midst of a nation in a downward spiral – plummeting towards Earth like a jet plane that had run out of fuel due to our previous spendthrift president, Joe Biden.

The economy was dragging down hard working citizens through high interest rates, outrageous diesel and gas prices, unaffordable housing, overpriced vehicles, new minimum wage statutes taking effect, all of which created a perfect poop storm. Let’s not forget the much-touted Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as: ObamaCare, coming to delayed terms of doubling premiums, all devised and encouraged by the America-hating Democrats.

Upon the 2021 inauguration of President Plugs Biden, Democrats opened the United States’ gates protecting our sovereign nation thereby letting in anyone – ANYONE – who had a hankering to live in prosperous America. No questions asked. What could possibly go wrong?

In the event you forgot, it was 2021 when we found ourselves in the throes of something called COVID-19. That was a flu the anointed political DC-ites transformed into a pandemic. According to guvment authorities, COVID was the biggest scourge since the early 1900’s Spanish flu pandemic, and important steps needed to be followed to ensure the population’s safety.

Over the next few Biden-years, an invasion of unprecedented proportions occurred with foreigners pouring across our borders. The problem quietly centered around the fact that these roughly 12 million undocumented, unhireable crossers arrived without COVID-19 vaccinations, polio vaccines, MMR shots, public health records, or even the Saint Dr. Anthony Fauci-approved face masks. Alas.

Yet no one in authority saw a problem. Village upon village ordered citizens arrested for ignoring the face mask and six-foot separation rules, although they were purely arbitrary in nature. But it didn’t take long to decipher the secret codes associated with these draconian regulations that cost countless military personnel and public servants their jobs for not being compliant. After all, it was in the name of public safety, we were told.

Of course those lies were only beginning. Border officials, federal cabinet members, doctors, television news readers, pundits, and gubenors nation-wide demanded orders be followed to the letter because: No one was above the law, and no questions were allowed to be asked.

This unprecedented display of power drew egotists into political careers to satisfy their thus-far unsatiated craving for not only authority, but unfettered authority. Enter two history-making women from Virginia.

It seems as though Abigail Spanberger who served as a U.S. Representative for Virginia’s 7^th Congressional District from 2019 to 2025, thought the water toe-test was conducive for a run to the statehouse. She is a member of the blue Democratic Party.

With her rèsumé nauseatingly distributed via constant TV campaign ads, Spanberger proudly announced her former work as an intelligence officer at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) besides holding down her position as a mother living in Leftist-oriented Fairfax County, VA.

On the red Republican side of the aisle was another female candidate named Winsome Earle-Sears who was interested in moving her office across the hall from her current location. You see, Earle-Sears ably served as Virginia’s Lieutenant Gubenor under Gubenor Glenn Youngkin, without controversy.

Lt. Gubenor Earle-Sears cut her teeth as a career United States Marine, after which she became a businesswoman, in addition to securing a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates.

Democrats were eager to support Democrat Spanberger because Democrats love Democrats. And Democrats detest Republicans because they are simply awful by virtue of being, well, racist.

But here’s the rub: Lt. Gubernor Earle-Sears is not only a Republican favorite, but she happens to have another much-desired attribute that draws Democrats like moths to a flame; she is additionally black.

Winsome Earle-Sears 

Democrats were clamoring to find blindfolds to cover their eyes in case a member of the legacy media asked them a question as to ‘Why aren’t you backing Ms. Earle-Sears?’

Feigning blindness, Virginia Democrats rallied their troops around Ms. Spanberger because...they suddenly had a memory lapse from their “diversity, equity, inclusion” cheerleading. It appeared as though the party that brought us the Ku Klux Klan really doesn’t enjoy the polite company of black women over white women, after all.

With the proverbial cat out of the bag, Dems shifted Spanberger’s run into overdrive by easily outspending Earle-Sears by lots. This odd imbalance was applauded by the Left, with surprises being readied behind the scenes.

This contentious race wound up being lopsided in favor of Ms. Spanberger whose campaign promising moderation, economic frugality, childcare, housing, education, representation for all, unity, healthcare, reaching across the aisle, besides increasing police presence, among the other predictable platitudes, found herself quickly changing directions following her swearing-in ceremony.

Now is a good time to explain the grifts that go along with calling Virginia ‘home.’ Most notably, Virginia, also known as The Old Dominion, has produced eight presidents, making it the state with the most presidents in U.S. history.

Beside that, Virginia has had a monumental run converting its ‘red’ status into ‘purple,’ by rapidly moving from a conservative to progressive venue through the regular elections of ‘blue’ candidates. This shift plainly signals the direction from which it came, to that which it is heading.

Unreasonable taxation has become the norm in Virginia over the past half-century. One of the more creative methods Old Dominion politicians have used to pick-pocket its residents is though something called “property tax.”

Property tax is a levy placed on vehicles in the state. Not unlike the ever-unpopular real estate tax, property tax is collected by the county-level treasurer every year – EVERY YEAR – to resemble a punishment on vehicles. This punitive way to keep safe, reliable cars and trucks on the roads forces drivers to give the state a set percentage of money, annually, lest they be fined.

Although the rates are relatively modest, they are based on the Kelly Blue Book value of your vehicle. In other words, the older the car, the lower the tax. This actually discourages citizens from purchasing new or newer transportation to avoid this financial punishment. By the way, trailers, campers, boats and motor homes were included in an expansion of the tax a few years back. Yea!

Ms. Spanberger is seriously considering expanding this assessment on – if you’re standing while reading this, please have a seat – lawnmowers. Go ahead and re-read that last sentence. I’ll wait for you.

Yep. In addition to making our environment cleaner, she also wants to outlaw leaf blowers. Not a bad idea since nobody will be mowing their lawns anyway. Just sayin’.

And those aforementioned increased police presence initiatives, a few paragraphs back, are aimed at focusing the police away from immigration-related crimes, to anything but helping the federal guvment enforce federal laws. Probably because she’s a law-and-order gal, just like her retired police officer daddy was.

Further, she desperately wants a ban on something called “assault weapons,” whatever today’s definition of those are, while making housing more affordable for immigrants, the poor, and elderly. Let’s hope she shows us how this brilliant plan is going to work as she continues her quest to make Virginia more affordable without raising taxes.

According to MSN, “Youngkin left Virginia with a $2 billion budget surplus. Yet, Democrats are aiming to impose new individual taxes on investments, trusts, and estates and sales taxes on gym memberships, dry cleaning, landscaping, pet boarding, and other yet untapped areas of ‘revenue.’ There are new proposed taxes on deliveries from Amazon, Uber Eats, FedEx, and so on. There is also a new 11% tax on firearm and ammunition purchases that you can still buy.”

In fact, it doesn’t matter. The Virginia citizens were snookered into voting for a woman who lied to them like all other Democrats. Now those voters have to suffer the consequences for 1,460 days. They were sold a bill of goods while giving Abigail Spanberger her audition for her ultimate goal: the presidency.

Consider this historic action a wake up call for those wanting to be part of history. The only positive thing I can find in all this is that she can only serve one term.

After that, everyone will live happily ever after.
