Federalizing Mistakes

During Trump’s 2016 campaign he promised to federalize the police. He promised better training, equipment, and more authority. Also, limited liability means they can’t be sued as quickly as in the past. Granted he didn’t make it in the first 100 days as he promised, as a matter of fact, he didn’t get the opportunity until halfway through his fourth year. He has referred to himself as a ‘Wartime President’ and ‘President of Law and Order’. 


After the situation in Minnesota, which details are still up for debate, Trump an executive order which will make it illegal for police to use chokeholds of any kind. While I agree cops shouldn’t be expected to act as drug councilors, homeless services, a marriage therapist in domestic violence situations. They should be available as back up for the therapist to ensure a safe environment. The cops are supposed to be for serious situations. However, the idea of putting them under the umbrella of Homeland Security as Trump suggested that the police federal, state, and local isn’t the right path. Yes, they should coordinate when needed. I don’t want to walk down the sidewalk and see police that resembles storm troopers from Star Wars. 


Now there is extra pressure on officials because truck drivers are refusing to deliver to cities who defund their local law enforcement. Granted there was a trucker getting dragged out of vehicles and beaten to an inch of his life after the Rodney King protest. I don’t blame for not wanting to deliver to insecure areas. Because truckers have families that depend on their check and their lives matter too. So if these cities don’t have local law enforcement, what takes their place? Usually, if things get bad enough National Guards will be brought in. In a worst-case scenario, branches of the military could be brought out to bring things under control.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

Feeling Ignored

  I didn't mean to ignore this site. I have been busy with the government shutdown, and I have to say, what a freak show. Let's break this down: 1. There is a budget. Once it's clear that we won't tolerate the freak show any longer, the budget will be put in front of us. Of course, it won't have an accurate date. The date it was actually signed.  2. What are we currently focused on? The shutdown. We are looking at the fact that Israel is attacking Iran, again, for having the very same thing they have: nuclear weapons. We also have nuclear weapons in America. We also have a nasty habit of using weapons of mass destruction. Dioxin was used in Vietnam; it was later called Agent Orange.  3. We are no longer demanding the release of the Epstein and Maxwell files. Of course, by the end of October, I am sure this will be in the headline again because one of the other party will bring it up.  4. Prices. The lamestream media isn't talking about the real prices. I went ye...
